LBy Associated Press. ]

TEHERAN, Persia, Feb. 17.-News

the violent earthquake recorded Janu-
ary % at almost every scientific OBJ
servatory in the world where seismo-
graphs are installed had it's location in

Sixty villages in this district were

5000 and 5000.
This information was conveyed in be-
lated reports to the government. The
districts of Burujurd and Selahor, in
Luroctan province, were the center OF
the great violence, and here the heaVi-
est casualties occurred.
Several villages are reported to have

APACHE FIGHTER
DIES PRISONER
CHIEF GERONIMO EXPIRES IN
OKLAHOMA BARRACKS
WAS CAPTURED BY GEN. MILES
AFTER BLOODY CAREER
Protested Christian Religion Three
Years Ago and Will Be Buried
Accordingly by Missionaries.
History of Surrender
[By Associated Press.1


LAWTON, Okla, Feb. 17.-Geronimo,
the noted Indian chief, died today at
Fort Sill, where he had been confined
as a prisoner Of war for twenty two
years.
Geronimo died at the hospital at the
Fort Sill army post, where he had been
held for several years as prisoner Of
war. He died of pneumonia after two
days illness.
Geronimo will be buried in the Indian
cemetery near the fort tomorrow. The
funeral will be conducted by Christian
missionaries, the decedent having pro-
fessed religion three years ago.
Geronimo was the war chief of the
Apaches. He was captured with his
band at Skeleton canyon, AriZ., twenty
two years ago, having surrendered to
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who, with his
soldiers, pursued him for months.
1t is a curious coincidence that news
of Gcronimo's death was sent out from
Lawton, which was named after the
late Henry r. Lawton, the famous gen
eraI, who, as a member of Miles COM
mand, led the 300O-mile chase that re-
suited in the chiefs surrender.
Beginning of Chase
The chase after Geronimo was begun
in Omaha in January, 1885.
Gen. Miles, in command of the de-
partmentI of Missouri, received instruc-
tions to rout the band of Indians head
ed by Geronimo and kill or capture it's
chief, and began by organizing an ex-
pedition consisting of the Second,
Eighth and Ninth infantry and the
Fourth. Fifth, Sixth and Eighth
cavalry, those men being in charge OF
Henry F. Lawton, then a lieutenant.
The expedition was got under way
in January, 1885, and the capture Of
Geronimo and his band was made two
years afterward. Since he has been
confined at Fort Sill, Geronimo has
made many attempts to gain his liberty
Early in 1908 Geronimo made a trip
to Washington with a number of his
followers in an effort to interest Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his case. The old In
dian was unsuccessful, however, and to
the last Geronimo has been full Of
hatred for the white man.
At the time of his death Geronimo
was SO years old. One daughter, Leila,
who lives in Oklahoma, survives the
aged warrior.

Senator BeVeridge Speclal session re-
wise the tariff to
the best of it's ability under present
conditions.
The resolutions, after demanding the
creation of tariff commission, outline
it's work as follows:
First-The collecting and intelligent,
thorough and unprejudiced study Of
tariff facts.
Second-The development and en-
largement of our foreign trade.
Third-The accomplishment of this
by reciprocal trade agreements, based
on maximum and minimum schedules.
Fourth-The adjustment of the tar
iff schedules so that they shall affect
all interests equally.
Fifth-The fixing Of the rates of the
duty to be paid on the imports from
any foreign country within the limits
of the maximum and minimum rates
established by congress under recip-
rocal trade agreements negotiated by
or under the direction Of the president,
in order thereby to develop and pro-
tect our foreign trade by means fa-
vored by President Mckinley and au-
thorized by sections 8 and of the
Dingley law.
1t was Beveridge day in the conven-
ton and the speech Of the Indiana sem
ator stirred the delegates to much en-
thusiasm.
Controller Herman A. Metz Of New
York declared the need of tariff
commission so great that if an official
one could not soon be procured it
would be wisdom for the business men
of the country to establish an un-
official one.
John M. Stahl, president Of the
Farmers National congress, urged the
formation of a commission.
