DINNERS WITHOUT MEAT
SERVED IN PITTSBURG

Plttsburg. Jan. PA new phase of
the meat boycott enters into the situa
ton In this city through the hotel men
catering TO the meat abstaincrs. In
ore of the big down town hotels last
night the manager caused signs TO be
displayed announcing that beginning
today dinners void of meat would be
served TO those who so desired
I'VE have not noticed any apprecia-
BILE slucken.ng in the demand of meat
among our patrons" said this boniface.
but L think this is largely because a
person Is Handicapped In ordering a
mcal that does not include meat In
all hotels and restaurants in Pittsburg
big business is done in regular order
meals for which thcre is n fixed price,
and all these include meat or game or
fish in some form. Beginning today we
intend to serve one special all-vegetable
meal in addition to the regular meal
orders. IT Is an experiment and II the
tr2de shows interest the plan would be
enlarged upon"
Other hotel and restaurant men, when
they learned OF the plan, enthusiastical-
ly endorsed 1t and II Is promised that
the next few days viii see an all-vege'
table meal service inauguratcd In many
eating houses IN this city.

At an Early Hour This
Morning.
TWO OTHERS REPORTED.
Ono at Washington and Another in
Iccland-All Three Occurred Mt
About the Same Time.

a we'll defined tremor was recorded
of Utah at 2:05 this morning The rec
ord indicates that the disturbance orig
mated in the basin. the movement be-
ing from the west. DR.. Fred ]. Pack
of the university this morning stated
that the difference in time between the
disturbances reported by the Asso-
clated Press and the local disturbance
would indicate plainly that there were
two or three distinct tremors and that
the local shock was not the tall end"
of the others.
The disturbance here was greatly dis
sipated. says DR.. Pack, and probably
would not have been felt even If
watched for He did say, however, that
there was u possibility of the shocks
elsewhere having been an indirect
cause of the disturbance here
In this issue of The News, an article
on earthquakes. illustrated with a map
of Utah. appears on page 5, and will
be read with interest in connection
with todays record at the university.
w dSnlilStOns Jan. -z.-An earthquake
of considerable intensity was recorded
at the weather bureau early this morn
ing. The first preliminary tTemors
began at $685. rs, and the duration of
the disturbance was something over
an hour,
The origin of the earthquake is es-
timated by the bureau to have been
at a distance of 1900 miles from Wash
ington. probably in the vicinity of
Alaska.
Seydisfjord, Iceland. Jan. 22-Three
severe earthquake shocks were felt
here at 7;45 O'Clock this morning. The
tremors were felt elsewhere In Iceland
but so far as reported no damage was
done.
SAINT Maur Franco. Jan 22-The
seismographs at the observatory here
today indicated an earthquake of great
intensity 5000 miles to the eastward
probably In the Caucasus or Armenia.

WORK|NGMAN'S HOME
GOES UP IN SMOKE
Blaze This Morning Emphasizes the
Need of Manning the West
Side Fire Station.

The need of better fire protection on
the west side was made apparent In
a startling manner at 1928 this morning
when n house valued at $1,000. with
contents worth 800 went up in smoke.
on Fifth South and Eleventh West
streets The house was occupied BY
a man who lived alone and none of
the neighbors could inform the fire
department officials what his name Is.
They said he is a laborer and leaves
the place early every morning.
The fire was caused by an overhead
ed stove The owner had left big
fire in the kitchen and live Goals had
dropped onto the floor and perhaps
there was a defective fluc. An alarm
was turned in and the apparatus from
No. 2, with Assistant Chief Fitzgerald
In command, responded. The run was
such a long one and the roads in such
bad shape, it was impossible to get
there in time to check the flames. The
loss was total.
The new station house on Post street
and Eighth West. has been completed
and is ready for the apparatus which
is to be Installed as soon as possible.
and then the west siders VIII NV

North Bay. Ont. Jan. 22.-The horror
of the wreck of the Canadian Pacific
passenger train Mt Spanish river yes
terday afternoon grows as hours pass.
At least two scores of lives were
snuffed out in twinkling and others
have since died from frightful injuries.
Not one car, as at first reported. but
three, took the terrible plunge down the
steep embankment into the icy waters
OF the river.
When the train left Sudbury at noon,
it carried about 100 souls. The train
was made up as follows:
Engine. mail and baggage car. ex-
press, second class coach. colonist first
class coach, dining car and Pullman.
SCENE OF ACCIDENT.
Spanish river Is 3S miles from Sud
bury. The railroad at that point cuts
into the side of hill and crosses the
river over an iron bridge. The bridge
was approached at a fair rate of speed
and the engine. mail, baggage and cx-
press cars were on the structure. From
reasons not yet aScertained, the trucks
of the second-class coach jumped the
track 1t struck the bridge abutments
and was split In two as clean as
though the Job had been done with
huge cleaver.
The momentum of the train carried
the half of the second class coach with
passengers, the colonist car. frst-class
car and dining car on their trucks.
down the bank and into the river. The
Pullman fell over on its side, near the
tracks.
Caught In a trap, every passenger
on the second-class coach colonist car
and first class coach was drowned and
only most heroic efforts saved eight
persons from the diner. Estimates by
railroad men and survivors place the
loss OF life at As. although 1t must be
admitted that II is hardly possible to
arrive at anything like an accurate
conclusion even after many long hours
of the most heroic work
