AS the days go by, the disaster ap-
pears more horrible. terrifying and i'm
mense. 1t is without precedent in the
history of the world. In my earlier
dispatches l spoke of over 10000
dead. This number doubtless will be
exceeded, for now conservatively esti.
mated. 100000 persons perished miser-
ably in this staggering catastrophe,
and the worst is not yet known. The
scourge has not yet done it's final
work. The tremblings of earth con-
tinue. with sinister rumblings and jets
of boiling water surged from crevas-
ses. and the sources of streams are
poisoned with putrid matter. In spite
of Herculean efforts the succor is In
sufficient. In the more remote regions
the unhappy injured are dying for the
want of food and medical treatment
Dogs and swine enraged by hunger,
spring upon the wounded and devour
them. The Unsuitable fire and uncon-
troliable famine will inevitably claim
their victims"

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14.-That the
Crescent City Jockey clubs Iiquidating
commissioners will not throw the lease
OF the fair grounds plant held by them
upon the market was assured today.
Alex Brewster. the president, one of
the commissioners. said the club would
undoubtedly be reorganized. John Hach-
meister. representing the Cella-Adler-
Condon-Tilles interests, said it was
nonsense to suppose so valuable an
asset would be disposed of when there
was strong possibility that within a
few years a reversal of sentiment
would be SO strong that racing would
be revived
1t was stated that liquidation would
be followed Immediately by reorgani-
zatfon with practically the same per-
sons in control. The enormous expen-
ditures at the fair grounds plant in re-
cent years viii warrant the holding on
of all interests until more definite ex-
presslon of the states general assem-
bly, is heard.

JOCKEY MILLER WILL
RETIRE FROM
SADDLE
Famous Rider Still Considers
Big Fine Unjust and Quits
the Turf

Jockey Walter Miller, standing by
his announced determination to retire
from the saddle rather than pay the
fine of $500 which he considers to have
been unjustly imposed upon him by the
New California jockey club judges ia
connection with ehis ride on Cloudlight
last Friday, announced yesterday that
he was through with the turf, and that
he would Immediately sell his tack
preparatory to departing Sunday for
his home in New York via Los Angeles.
On account of President T. H. Will
liams continued absence from the
track, Miller has had no opportunity
course, and the boys decision to retire
has therefore been reached without
consultation with Williams. for whom
ne has ridden at princely salary dur
ing two years. Williams is expected
to put in an appearance at the track
tomorrow, and Miller will then ac-
quaint him with his decision.
Miller said yesterday that he had
given up all idea of accepting any of
the offers that he has had to continue
riding abroad, and that upon his re-
turn to New York he would proceed
TO enjoy the possession of the 5000, 900
that he has accumulated during his
Iour Successful seasons in the saddle.
The boy plans to spend few weeks
at Los Angeles before proceeding east.
Miller has achieved u reputation as a
ball player during his coast engage
ment. and he says that much of his
leisure time. will be devoted to the
enjoyment of that sport. 1t is within
the bounds of possibility that he may
enter professional baseball, more for
pleasure than because of financial re-
muneration.
Presiding Judge Hopper, who with
his associates imposed the fine that is
responsible for Miller's unexpected re-
tirement at a time when he was riding
as well as ever in his long and phe-
nomenally successful career, has stead
lastly refused to make any comment
for publication concerning MilIers
stand on the ground that it would
lower the dignity of his official posi-
ton TO engage in a controversy with
a Jockey. Privately. he has said that
Miller deserved and would get no great
er consideration than any other rider,
and that he certainly would have to
pay the fine before he would be per-
mitted to resume riding
