A SEVERE EARTHQUAKE
Destroys Hospital at Guam-No Casu-
aIties-Felt at Cleveland.

Washington, Dec. 10.-A severe earth
quake occurred in Guam at A. NJ. today,
causing considerable damage, according
to cablegram received at the navy de-
partment. The Womens and Children's
hospital was wrecked. There were no
casualties.
From the wording of the dispatch.
which gives few details, it would seem
that the principal damage was suffered
by the hospital, which is described as
amtenable. 1t will require $4,000 to repair
the building.
The population of Guam is about 10000,
practically all natives. The navy depart
ment maintains a coaling station there.

mOny was given in the federal court
here today by witnesses from Iowa in

its fraudulent nature until two years
ago. THE promoters told US they had
obtained the land from the entrymen,
and in an irregular way kOser added.

LOVE STORY OF MARINE
Man Who Made Trip Around the
World Sues California Girl for
Breach of Promise.

Los Angeles Dec. IA suit demand
ing $4,000 for breach Of promise to marry
wa sfiled here today by Russell Z. Clark,
formerly a marine Of the United States
navy, against Grace Nedder, daughter of
W. II. Vedder, former mayor Of Pasa-
dena, and a banker of that city. Behind
the action is q story Of swift love, an
Obdurate parent and social disparity.
In his complaint Clark alleges that he
first met Miss Vedder in May, 1905 when
he was a marine on the United States
steamship Minnesota, accompanying the
American fleet on its trip around the
world He had but a few hours shore
leave at Santa Barbara, but in that short
time he gained the consent of Miss We'd
der to marry him, conditioned, he says
upon his retirement from the service OF
Uncle Sam.
He SAYS that after the cruise around
the world he so conducted himself that
he was found guilty of breaches of disCi-
pline which caused his. discharge. He
then came to California and met Miss
Vedder, only to be told that her father
would not consent to the marriage and
that therefore she withdrew her promise

understood generally that Mr.. Fitzgerald
had former President Roosevelt in mind.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was read. but was not put upon pas
sage, and will again be taken up Monday
Some saving was effected by reducing
appropriations for increases in salaries
for district officers or by eliminating al
together paragraphs making provision for
new offices. Representative Macon (Ar-
Kansas again assumed the role of the
watchdog of the treasury and made
points of order against several sections
of the bill not wholly without success.
Rather Unexpectedly the house agreed TO
insert in the bill an appropriation OF
$1,000 for Fairgrounds for the children
of the district.
Near the close of the day Mr.. Mann
made an attack on Mr.. Tweedale, audi
tor Of the district, for Criticising the gov
eminent in public speeches He said that
if the official had made statements at

NEW SCHEME TO DEFRAUD
Clever Crooks Evolve Plan by Which
It Is Possible to Get 1920 for
Ten $40 Bills.

st. Louis Dec. IA scheme by
which 1920 is made out Of ten $40
banknOtes has been called to the at
tentiOn Of local banks by the st. Louis
officers of the United States secret
service. How widespread the new line
of manufacture had become is indicated
by the fact that a dozen or more
of the altered notes have been received
at the sub treasury here.
The scheme, according to an en-
plOye of the treasury, is as fol-
lows:
Ten $50 banknotes are laid one on
top of the other, with a quarterback
margin on each note showing at one
end All are then firmly held together
and by one stroke with sc .ssOrs or a
sharp knife each note is divided into
two parts. one Of With is larger than
the other.
The pieces are then fitted together
to make a note a trifle less than the
regulation size. A piece Of adhesive
plaster fastens the two pieces.
There remain nine complete bills and
two portions Of bills, each Of which
is more than three-fifths of a complete
bill The government redeems at full
value a mutilated bill which is three
fifths of the proper size. BY this
means S220 has been made out of 5000
in $40 notes.
