EUREKA, Cal, Aug. 49,
Three sharp earthquake shocks,
which knocked down more than a
hundred chimneys, shattered
about forty large plate glass win
dows in the business portion OF
Eureka, broke much crockery in
the residence section and sent
many people scurrying out of bed
into the streets half clothed, oc-
Cured here early this morning.
The damage reported so far is
estimated at between $1,000 and
$4,000.
The first and hardest shock came al
2:5S a. m. 1t was almost as severe as
the one felt here April IS, 1906. AT S;0S
another but lighter shock was ex-
perienced, followed by a third at 5:S(
o'clock.
First Shock Worst
The first shock caused practically al
the damage, besides breaking many
plate glass lIOIllS, NAO~-NN~ >
and throwing over chimneys
The shock caused the 16-foot statue
of Minerva on the county court house
to drop her staff, which crashed
through the roof down into Superior
Judge Hunts courtroom.
The walls of the court house were
cracked in several place, but the dam
age is not great.
The walls of the Carnegie library
building, erected five years ago at
cost of $4,000, were slightly cracked
and the building damaged to the extent
of about $500.
Long Fissure Reported
Reports from the Seasy ranch neal
Freshwater, six miles north of Eureka
state that the earthquake caused
assure in the earth half mile long.
A number of chimneys were thrown
down in that vicinity, but otherwise
little damage was done.
The shocks extended as far north as
Blue Lakes, siXty-five miles from
Eureka, where some crockery was
broken and half dozen chimneys were
destroyed.
The vibrations were from southwest
to northeast.

MORNING SESSION BEGINS
WITHOUT A BRASS BAND

No brass band. no music of any kind
marked the opening of the Los An
geles county Republican convention.
The delegates section was filled when
Chairman Bradner w. Lees gavel fell
at 1030, a half hour after schedule
time, but the galleries and far sections
of the parquet seats yawned for spec
tators, there being only a few hundred
visitors there.
Doubtless most of those who "do"
conventions realized that it would be
a machine-m made affair, with no possi-
bility of dramatic situations or i'm
promptu eloquence.
The program was carried. out as pre-
arranged. w. P. Jeffries was elected
chairman by a vote of 57113 to 30839 for
A. ]. Wallace, a vote which showed
that there were three absentees.
E. A. Meserve nominated Jeffries and
Leslie r. Hewitt, city attorney, NOM
mated Councilman A. ]. Wallace.
Secretary ]. ]. Petermichel was the
only name presented for secretary.
This, with the appointment of the
three leading committees of twenty-one
members each, closed the mornings
session.

IT was past 4 o'clock before the three
committees charged with mapping out
the preliminary work of the convention

Delegates were "shooed' to their
seats over the treacherous sawdust, and
after Chairman Jeffries had belabored
a marble block on a pine table with his
mallet Chairman Bowen advanced to
read the report of the committee on
organization and order Of business.
He was frequently interrupted by
crise of Louder"
The report recommended w. p. Jeff

The announcement that Chile
will honor the United States by
sending naval vessel to attend the
feet while it remains in Chilean wa
tiers recalls the fact that Admiral
Evans, during the trouble between
the United States and Chile several
years ago, was the commander of
a Yankee cruiser in the harbor of
Valparaiso. 1t was then that he
made the famous remark: IF the
paint of my cruiser is scratched, hell
will smell of garlic"
During the coming two weeks, de-
spite the fact that the fleet will be
travelling south all the time, the
Yankee tars will pass from the tor
rid heat of midsummer to the frigid
winter of the Arctics. On shore
leave at Punta Arenas the sailors
will see some of the most ignorant
types of humanity in the world. The
natives of Patagonia and Terre del
Fuego, despite the severity of the
climate, wear little or no clothing,
and smear their bodies with foul
odored paint and grease. They
spend most of their days on horse
back and their nights in little tents
made of hides. Horse meat and os-
trich flesh are the staples of their
diet. They are natural traders, and
many sailors will likely part with
some of their belongings in ex-
change for otter skin or ostrich
breast wraps.
The Straits of Magellan. through
which the fleet must pass, are only
about as wide as some parts of the
Hudson river, and are lined by tow
ering, snow-clad precipises. This
will be the really dangerous part OF
the journey. After leaving Punta
Arenas day and night will be oc-
cupied in reaching the comparative
safety of the Pacific. Then, with
the trim little Chilean cruiser Esma-
ralda in the lead, the long line OF
battleships will steer north, back to
the land of sunshine and laughter
until, on February IS. the guns Of
the Peruvian forts will boom a well
come that will be as music to the
ears of the Yankee tars. For they
will be back in civilizatfon-Span-
ish-American civilization, which Is
different from the Yankee brand, II
is true-but still civilization.

70 SAIL
FROM RIO SOON
IN THE 10 DAYS OF THIRD LAP,
FROM RIO TO PUNTA ARENAS,
THE BIG BATTLEsHIPs WILL
COVER 1900 MILES

RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 49,
With the bunkers filled with coal
and all preparations made for be-
ginning the next stretch of the long
voyage to the Pacific, the battleship
fleet of Admiral Evans will steam
out of Rio harbor early next week
and head southwark for Punta Are
mas, the most southerly town on this
side of the world. When officers
and men bid farewell to their
friends in the Brazilian capital Mon
day, they will also say goodbye to
civilization for many weary days to
come. 1t will be dull routine, with
only one stop at greasy little col
lection of huts and shanties, until
Callao, Peru, is reached on Febru-
airy IS.
The distance from Rio to Punta
Arenas is over 1900 miles. and this
expanse of tossing pillows will be
traversed in 10 days, so that the lit
tie village between the barren coast
of Patagonia and Terra del Fuego
will be reached about the last day
of this month. Nothing but coaling
will be done there. At this God-for-
saken place, which was formerly a
convict station for Chile until the
Chilean government became too civ
ilized 10 send even convicts there,
the fleet will enter the waters OF
that republic, and will be met by the
Chilean cruiser Esmeralda. This
vessel will serve as an escort to the
fleet through the crooked Straits Of
Magellan.

STRIKE
NOT PROBABLE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 49,
Everything is in readiness for the
nineteenth annual convention of the
United Mine Workers of America,
which will be called to order In this
city next Tuesday morning. At this
convention John Mitchell, who has
piloted the organization for a num-
Der of years, will formally relin-
quish the presidency and the tellers
will report the result of the recent
referendum vote on his successor.
Though no official announcement
has been made it is understood that
Vice President T. L. Lewis is to sue
coed Mr.. Mitchell in the presidency.
There are many important ques-
tions that will confront the dele
gates to the coming convention,
among the most important being
matters connected with the wage
scale. The wage agreements be-
tween miners and operators in the
principal fields of the United States
and Canada will expire April / and
the question of renewal is to be
brought before the convention.
There has all along been talk that
the miners would hold out for better
terms and as the demands were not
likely to be granted by the operat-
ors 1t seemed that a general strike
was among the probabilities. Re-
Gently, however, the industrial con-
ditions have brought about a change
OF mind among the miners and the
chances for a strike now appear to
be remote. The miners will prob
ably endeavor to secure some modi-
fications of the present agreement in
their favor, but no radical demands
are likely to be made by either side
so that an amicable agreement will
probably be reached without much
difficulty. The convention will
frame the demands of the miners
and these will be presented to the
joint conference with the operators
to be held later.
