Fake Subscription Agent Is Captured

Same Man Who Worked Iowa.
Burlington, April 3--It is believed
that man named Daniel J. Gallagher,
arrested at Quincy for soliciting sub
scriptions to magazines without au-
thority, is the same fellow who made
cleaning up in Burlington several
weeks ago.
Gallagher admitted to the Quincy
police that he was doing ''phoney'
work and that he had no intention Of
sending the money he collected to the
offices of the publications that he
claimed to represent.
When searched by the police, receipt
stubs in Gallagher's pocket showed
that the crook had operated in num-
Der of the western cities. The fellow
who played his game to a finish in Bur
lington, stated to his victims that he
was the representative of two of the
| leading eastern magazines. He offered
subscriptions to these at greatly re-
duced rates, and at the same time
threw in valuable premium that was
to come with the first numbers of the
magazines. This game is an old one,
and requires but little skill on the part
of the operator to make it highly prof
table.
/, A standing reward of 500 is offered
| by the publications for the arrest and
lconviction of the swindler.

Number Of Dead and injured May Be

Still at Work in the
Ruins.

Marseilles, June 12.-From 15 to
100 dead and 100 injured is tonight's
estimate Of, the total casualties as d
result of the earthquake which de-
ysstated several towns and villages
in the southernmost part OF France.
Great suffering is reported from re-
moter places, owing to the lack OF
bread aud the neeessaries of life, be-
fore the arrival of assistance. The
casualties may be greater as the
ruins have not been entirely searched
The villages of Saint Cannat and Rog
uea were completely demolished BY
the earthquake and I.ambesc sufferei
heavily. According to advlces receiy
ed here, a number OF wounded are
still in the ruins and soldiers are
working desperately to rescue them.
The survivors are sleeping in tents
and the streets are impossible. IN
many places they have been torn up
aad are encountered with masses of
rocks. Houses. public buildings and
churches crumbled to pieces. Among
other villages seriously damaged are
VauvenaTgues, Venelles, Pelissanne,
Puy Ste. Reparade and Arguilles
The victims at st Cannat and Rog
nez are horribly mutilated. There
were evidences that several victims
had lived for hours imprisoned by the
debris before they died. The people
rushed out into the streets crying out
IN terror. Many of them returned tc
the rescue OF their families. Al ftng
nez a family of four was buried IN thf
ruins Their cries could be heard
throughout the night, but all were
dead in the morning when a rescuing
party reached them.
At Saint Cannat. an old man and
his son were watching a billiard
game They were instantly killed,
but the players escaped with slight
bruises Chateau Valmousse, near
Saint Cannat, was badly damaged.
The communal chateau at Arguilles
was split in two. The prehistoric vii
lage of Vemelgues was wrecked but
no one was killed.
