HUNDREDS KILLED
BY AN EARTHQUAKE
CITY OF cARTAGo, COSTA RIGA,
Is NEARLY WIPED OUT, BY
SEISMIC DISTURBANCE.
Eight Hundred Bodies Have. Been
Taken From the Ruins, and It Is
Believed the Loss of Life May
Exceed Fifteen Hundred.

San Jose, Costa Rica.-Eight hun
dred bodies have been recovered from
the ruins of Carriage, which was visit
ed by severe earthquake shocks on
May and 5. The estimate of the
dead is placed at 1900, but 1t is pos
sible this may be exceeded. The num-
Der of sick and injured cannot be
counted, many of them having been
removed to adjoining towns and vii
lagos, and since the disaster scores
have died from their injuries.
San Jose was also shaken, some
OF the buildings being damaged, but
no deaths occurred here. Some
persons were slightly injured. Shocks
also were felt at several points in Mic
aragua near the Costa Rica frontier
Carriage, capital of Carriage prov
ince, lies at the foot of Irazu volcano,
about fourteen miles from San Jose.
1t has an estimated population of TO-
OOO, and is the seat of the Central
American peace court. Carriage was
the capital of the country until 1928.
1t has suffered frequently from earth
Quakes and was partly destroyed in
1903, 1926, 1841, 1851, and 1854.
The ceremony attending the inaugu-
ration of Ricardo Jiminez as president
OF Costa RIGA took place on Sunday
on one OF the plazas In San Jose, ow-
ing to the fact that the people feared
to enter the government building.
Large forces, which have gone to
Cartago from San Jose and other
points, are now engaged in the work
of rescue, and even on Sunday several
living persons were taken from under
the piles of stones and timbers where
dwellings once stood.
Paradise, village of 1000 people
about eighteen miles east Of San Jose,
also suffered severely from the earth
shocks, reports reaching here indicat-
ing that nearly 100 persons were
killed. Large assures that have opened
up in Carriage province have given ad.
ditional cause for alarm. Ten thou
sand persons are homeless, and severe
rains and lack of food and drinking
water are responsible for much suf
fering. 1t is impossible to provide
shelter for the people who are hud

WOULD PUNISH INSURGENTS
Regular Republicans Start Movement
Which Means Trouble for Members
Who Deserted Their Leaders.
Copyright,

Washington-Through the formation
on Wednesday of an organization
which it's leaders claim represents a
clear majority of the entire senate,
and to be made up wholly of regular
Republicans, movement was started
to settle whether the senate shall re-
main conservative, become radical, or
be thrown into political chaos as far
as concerns any coherent policy on the
administration programme. To Sena-
tor Aldrich was given the leadership
of the movement. Senator Aldrich
called the regular Republicans to-
gether and confronted them with a
grim description of the possible politi-
cal effect Of their apparent defeat at
the hands of the insurgent Republicans
and Democrats in the fight over the
traffic agreement section of the ad-
ministration railroad bill. He asked
his associates whether they were
ready to submit to domination by such
a combination. Any such surrender,
he warned them, meant the failure of
the Taft policies and the downfall of
conservative control, not only in con-
gress, but in the Republican party gen.
orally.
The entire tone of this conference
was belligerent toward the insurgents.
This was the dominant note: Let us
get together and stand as a unit
against every insurgent proposition. If
the insurgents propose anything good
Wen take it over bodily and put II
through as our own; II they propose
anything bad, we'll stamp it out"
1t was stated President Taft had
been kept fully advised OF the situa
tion and was entirely in sympathy
with the plan and virtually pledged
to it. The inability of the two fac
lions Of the Republican party to gel
together is the immediate cause Of
danger to the legislative programme
Each side blames the other. The in
surgents say the fault lies in the AFRO
gance and intolerance of the longtime
leaders of the majority toward the pro
gressive policies represented by mos
of the Republicans of the middle
west. The regulars charge the insur
gents are simply trying to destroy the
Republican party by attempting to dis
credit its time-honored leadership ant
principles and to ride over the ruins
to power.

Death to Many Workers.

slope when the explosion occurred and
the shock was felt for miles. Timbers
from the slope were hurled several
hundred feet from it's mouth. Rocks
from the roof caved in and made &C
cess to the mine very difficult. The
first rescuers who went into the mine
after the explosion were overcome by
fire damp and had to be carried out.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by an uncovered lamp.
