QUAKE
VICTIMS
Are Now Being Sought in
the Zone of Devas-
tation.

Teheran, Feb l9.---The governor
of Burujurd, a town i'm southwestern
Persia, has sent out agents to ih-
vestigate the damage wrought by
the earthquake of Jan % The cen
ter of intensity apparently was two
days journey from Burujurd.
Up to the present only meager re-
ports have come into Teheran. The
devastation was particularly severe
in the mountainous region between
Burujurd and Lurisran province. Il
already has been established that fif-
teen villages were wholly or partial
ly destroyed and it Is estimated that
the total number will undoubtedly
be more than fifty.
Only a small proportion of the
Inhabitants OF the area where the
shocks were most severe escaped
Some villages disappeared complete
ly and no trace can be found OF
the hamlets of Bahrem and Leben. II
appears that not a SINGLE soul be-
longing to these communities were
left alive.
The fact that there were no for
eign consuls anywhere in the north
accounts for the delay OF nearly a
month in the receipt of the news
here, bit delays of this kind are
characteristic of Persia.

Charles e. NOrd, who has attained
much notorlety because Of the num-
erous love letters found in his trunk
by the police, from all over the
United States, Is held for trial here
on charge Of obtaining money on
false pretenses.
Five dollars and Kiss are all the
return that the prosecuting witness
Mrs. Carrie A. Hamilton, of this city
testified that she received for 800
which she had given Nord.

when he left me" said Mrs. Ham
iltOn.
Many OF the hundreds of love let
ters received by Nord show thai
their authors had supplied him with
funds. Mrs. Hamilton said thai
Nord sold her millinery store but did
not give her any proceeds.
Nord's defense was that the money
was given him merely as a mark oI
affection.

Mr., Bailey made point OF order
against the amendment, authorizing
the establishment by the postmaster
