Mexico City. June 9.-Because of
the lack of telegraphic facilities and
the slowness with which the officials
of the villages in outlying districts
make reports to the government, il is
not improbable months may pass be-
fore an absolutely accurate state
ment of the number of earthquake
victims Is obtainable.
The list of known dead total a few
more than $50 and 1t Is quite possible
this number may be augmented, but
neither government officials nor To-
cal newspapers believe 1t will pass the
$50 mark, Notwithstanding early ru-
mors placed the number at more than
| 900.
Special dispatches indicate the
greatest toll was near the west coast
in the states of Colima and Jalisco,
although no deaths are reported
from Guadalajara, the capital of the
latter.
According to the latest reports not
more than five or six were killed in
the capital of Colima.
A special dispatch from Tuxpan,
reports Sayula, as having suffered
greatly and the number of dead would
reach probably forty, about the same
number reported from Zapotlln err
raneously given here first as ocotlan.
The first accurate news OF the
earthquakes effects In Colima was
brought to Tuxpan by a merchant who
made the latter half of his journey on
foot because of an interruption OF the
railroad traffic due to the track be-
ing damaged by the quake.
According to him only five are dead.
The churches he says, suffered most,
Meyer church and the cathedral be-
ing badly damaged. According to
his story most of the buildings dam
aged were small and poorly built.
The volcano of Colima continues In
eruption and burning trees on its sides
add to its spectacular appearance.
The engineer In charge OF the
capitals waterworks system today re.
ports seventeen cracks had been made
in the main. but the damage had not
been sufficient to interfere seriously
with the water supply.
From here two detachments were
sent out into the west To care for tn,
wounded and another detachment has
gone from Guadalajara. Most of tho
Red Cross doctors and nurses Will 81
to Zapotlan and Saula. This organizii-
ton also has cared for wounded here.
In the capital the greatest property
loss was incurred by the government
In the loss of the artillery barracks,
by schools and by corporations
Residents of the capital are begin
ming to regard the affair as hyster'd
and some of the afternoon papers
"killed" the earthquake stories IN
their last editions ~ make room FOR
later news.

the doctors and assistants passed out
dead and wounded which were hastily
carried to ambulances and rushed to
the ST. Josephs hospital. In the throng
that Surged around the arriving train
were numerous Albuquerque people
with friends or relatives on the train
anxious for their safety. Mrs. Parker,
niece OF Neill b. Field of this city
was on the train, happily unhurt, as
her relatives were rejoiced to find

sengers save those taken to the hos
pital We're hurt enough to incon-

Mrs. Riddles of Willows, Cal, who had
to be carried into the Alvarado and
carried up stairs to her room. She
was suffering severely from the shock
and Internal injuries Were feared but
at last accounts she was doing nice
~. G. A. Garfield, the wealthy Los
Angeles man, partner of +. l.. Doheny
the Los Angeles oil millionaire, got
or the train and walked to the hotel
leaning heavily on a cane and walk
ing with a decided limp and nearly
every passenger, by bandage, scratches
or disordered clothing and disheveled
appearance showed the effect of the
accident Conductor Charles Clark OF
the limited who had a cut on mis-
nose was badly dazed by a blow on
the back of the neck and walked
home with difficulty. 1t is not be-
lieved however that he is seriously
hurt.

that next years work may be even
more successful than that of the one
just closed which marked new era
in the life of the club.
A letter was received from Mr..
George L. Brooks in which that gem
tleman heartily thanked the club for
it's expression of confidence as shown
by its refusal at Thursday night $
meeting to accept Mr.. Brooks resig
nation. Mr.. Brooks pointed out, how
ever, that he will be obliged to be
away from Albuquerque the greater
portion of the time during the next
year, and for this reason he felt that
he could not do justice TO the position

nent part In every movement for it's
betterment. That the club will con-
tinue its career of prosperity and
usefulness under his leadership Is as
sured
The retention OF Thomas J. Naylon
as secretary will also be hailed by the
club members and the public general
~ as a wise move. During his con-
nection with the club Mr.. Naylon has
proven himself a most capable and
energetic official and. with an assist
ant to take care of the detail work of
his office. ii is predicted that this
years work will be remembered only
rs feeble sample of the accomplish
ments which will earn him the graft
tude of the people of Albuquerque
ere his present term expires.
The other officials are all strong
men, tried and true in the club work,
and may he depended upon to
strengthen the hands of their capable
leader in keeping the institution
what 1t has been almost since the
foundation of Albuquerque, the lead
ing boosting organization of New
Mexico.

DEAD ENGINEER MUST HAVE
MISCALCULATED THE TIME

That Engineer Green took ore

occurred on a double curve where it
was impossible for tha crews 10 see

the emergency brakes or in railroad
parance he 'pigholed her. and the
heavy and swiftly moving tram stiff
fened out like an iron bar but appar-
entity did not slacken a particle be-
fore the impact came. The crash WAS
heard for miles. The heavy engine of
the limited with front battered in
hurled herself off the track into the
bank. Sealover, without knowing how
he got there found himself standing
on top Of his engine cab as he had nc
time to jump. His luckless fireman,
Flower essayed to jump but was too
slow and was caught IN the scalding
steam. Engineer Green tried to jump
but jumped on the wrong side and
was pinned under his engine whence
he was extricated with difficulty, it
being evident at once that he was
mortally injured. His fireman. Bren.
nan. jumped safely and escaped prac-
tically unhurt.
The light engine one of the smaller
class, was completely stripped, The

charged congress today with letting
millions of dollars go to waste that II
might collect in internal revenue tax
es on tobacco. He attacked the pend
ing wool tariff revision offered by
the democrats, saying their plea of
needing revenue was not serious
argument for keeping high duties on
wooden goods.
Mr. Warburton said the democrats
had been afraid to reduce the duties
on wool any further for fear Of the
consequence at the next election II
the wool industry was prostrated by
the removal of protection. He said
the democrats had been compelled 10
adopt the republican doctrine of pro-

the ground of needing revenue.
And in the meantime" said Mr.
Warburton, American people are
paying six times as much tax to the
! government on sugar as they are on
