SHAKES
THE SOUTHWEST OF
UTAH VIGOROUSLY

SALT LAKE. April 16.-The
whole southwestern section of the
state was rocked by several earth
Tuesday night, but information of
the disturbance did not reach here
until yesterday morning.
Milford, Newhouse, Beaver, Frisco
and Modena all felt the shocks, which
numbered about dozen, and came
in rapid succession. No damage was
done and no one injured, but there
was considerable excitement, people
rushing from their homes into the
streets for fear that the houses would
collapse.
Frank J. Gustin, a Salt Lake at
torney, was in Milford at the time,
and yesterday told of his experience.
Il felt about a dozen distinct earth
tremors,' he said Five of them
were quite strong. The shocks were
noise, which sounded like the rushing
of wind. In fact. at first I thought
great windstorm had come up, but
soon found out my mistake, when
felt the ground tremble. Ever one
ran into the streets for fear that the
shocks would grow in intensity and
shake down the buildings. Even
sick people were taken out in some
instances and many women were bad
ly scared
Similar reports came from nearly
every town in the southwest, but in
some places only slight disturb
ance was felt, which passed unnotic-
ed by most of the people.
The seismograph at the university
which records all earth vibrations did
not record the shock Tuesday night.
as the earth movement did not reach
as far north as Salt Lake.
According to DR.. E. ]. Pack of the
university faculty, who has charge of
this instrement, the greatest earth
tremor was felt in Salt Lake yester-
day morning between the hours of 8
o'clock and noon.
In speaking of the disturbances,
DIR. Pack said he believed them to
be wholly local.
I'VE know" he said, that the ba-
sin ranges; are in a constant process
of adjustment, and to this fact at
tach the responsibility for the dis
turbances. They are purely local and
are SO slight in their nature that
there is no good reason why people
should fear them"

A few more suits have been filed
and some additional indictments are
coming up in the Hickey matter. The
public, however, is becoming wearied
of the extensive preliminaries and
would like to see definite action, one
way or the other. If Hickey is inno-
cent of wrong doing it is high time
that his annoyance ceased and the
real oulprits, If there are such,

Unfortunates whose failings get
them into Jail have enough bitterness
to contend with in the world without
having IL heaped ON unnecessarily by
the good people on the outside. This
is what is being done in Ely. Pris-
oners are huddled together in their
own filth and during confinement
subjected to foul air and close con-
tact with all sorts of vileness. Both
the county and the city have suffi-
Gent funds with which to relieve this
situation by the erection of either
temporary or permanent jail quar-
tiers of proper kinds. They ought to |
do it. If they do not damage suit
some day will result in heavier costs /
to them than jail construction would
entail. /

RIPLEY WOULD RAISE
RATES OR CUT WAGES
Head of Santa Fe Favors In-

improvements

SANTA BARBARA, May 6.-Before
leaving today for his home in Chicago,
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe
declared himself in favor of an advance
In freight rates as the best means OF
obtaining money for needed improve
merts by roads.
Ripley declared that existing rates
might be almost doubled without the
average consumer feeling it. Transpor-
tation, he said. is the only commodity
the price Of which has not advanced
from 25 to IS per cent in the last 10
years. Ripley said in part:
Money seems to be easy in New
York as witnessed by considerable
sales of first class bonds. although they
do not bring very high prices. But rail-
way earnings are not improving and ]
see no immediate prospect of improve
ment Moreover, not all of the rail-
roads that need money for improve
ments can offer first mortgage bonds
as security.
In the newer states of the west it
is impossible for most of the roads to
make needed improvements and extern
sions because of the belief among in
vestors that investments in public
utility companies are not safe in those
localities.
In order to perform their duties to
the public railroads must either cut
wages or advance rates. preferably the
latter"

he is willing 10 give San Francisco the

not insist that the city should share IL
