| 300 DEAD IN
MEXICAN EARTHQUAKE
I've Hundred Killed In Zapotlan
Alone-Volcano Centre
Of Shock.

Mexico City.-Colima, the only ac-
tive volcano in North America, was
the focal point Of the earthquake that
rocked and Jared Mexico from border
TO border and ocean TO ocean, costing
in the aggregate no fewer than 1900
lives and destroying property to the
extent Of several million dollars.
With the restoration OF telegraphic
communication 1t is learned that the
volcano broke forth in violent erup-
tion on Tuesday. Lava was thrown
to a great height and the molten
mass, which since the eruption of
1859 has not reached point further
, than 1000 feet below the crater, Is
burning its way through the rank
tropical vegetation that covers the
west side Of the mountain.
Five hundred persons have beer
killed In Zapotlan, where the Cathe
dral, built on the site OF the one de-
lowed the eruption OF 1906 did not
come for nearly twenty-four hours
after the outburst from the crater.
The loss Of life in Zapotlan would
have been greater had not the inhabi.
tants, expecting an earthquake to fol-
COW the violent eruption, made ar
rangements 70 sleep in outhouses OF
cane. Many, however. were careless,
as the eruptions in 1902 and 1909
were followed by only light shocks.
which did no damage.
A large detachment Of Red Cross
nurses and doctors has been sent TO
Zapotlan from Guadalajara. Other
smaller delegations have been sent to
Tonila, San Andres, Platanar, Tux
pan, and the City OF Colima, where the
mortality has been heavy.
A strange feature Of the earthquake
was that its greatest severity seemed
to fall in rings around the volcano,
between which were belts that were
almost immune from damage.
Mexico City fell within the territory
getting the full force Of the move
ment OF the earth, but as the greater
portion Of the city is protected by
the bed Of silt, which formed the old
lake bottom on which the ely was
built damage occurred only in the
northern section, where the houses
are constructed on the solid ground
that formerly was the shore Of the
lake.
Immediately south Of Mexico City
no damage was reported but in the
zone in Vera Cruz and Chiapas the
shock was very severe.

Sees Englishmen Beaten.

New York.-The American polo
team, by dashing, brilliant play which
at every point was superior 10 that OF
their opponents, clinched the interna.
tional trophy for the second consecu'
tive year. Alert and aggressive,
handling their mallets with a sure
ness that aroused applause repeated
ly, the Americans took the second
game of the championship series on
the grounds of the Meadowbrook club
in Westbury, l.. !. The score was
1-2 to 3 1-2 and, though close, the
Americans had the lead safe at all
times. They outgeneraled their op-
ponents, and their speed, foresight
and ability in handling their ponies
proved them almost invincible.
The contest, nevertheless, showed
the Englishmen TO be brilliant play
ers. They fought with their charac-
teristic determination and they press
ed the Americans hard at every turn.
There were prolonged cheers for
the victors. Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, picturesquely patriotic with a
necktie OF red, white and blue, waved
his soft broadrimmed hat and showed
his teeth with his customary delight.
Governor Dix, grave and dignifed,
smiled and clapped his hands ener-
getically. Society women. resplen-
dent in gowns Of many colors, waved
their gorgeous parasols, and for a
few minutes every one OF the $4,000
spectators who surrounded the
smooth green square on which the
two teams battled seemed to join In
the hubbub.

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

From an eloquent pamphlet Issued
lby an eastern railroad we learn OF
new and unsuspected uses for dyna-
mite on the farm. Besides its familiar
ltassS of extracting stumps, starting
log and ice jams and breaking up
lboulders. dynamite is just the thing,
It seems. for digging bitches, telling
trees and excavating cellars. Blowing
"a hole to set an apple tree is cheaper
than digging one and II kills bugs and
Iloosens the ground so that the tree
grows better besides, says the New
York World. Dynamite charges set
off eight or ten feet apart TO break
up subsoi restore fertility TO worn
LANDS. If swamp has no outlet for
,ditching you may sometimes drain 1t
by boring a deep hole and blowing up
its hard pan bottom. The dynamite
left over may be used anywhere. The
crops dote on II. Dynamite detona-
ltions, the red flag of warning and oc'
lcasional hired men sent skyward In
Iinstallments may seem inconsistent
with the idyllic calm of rural pursuits.
but 1t is too late to complain. The
farmer already threshes and saws
wood with his automobile motor, vac
icinates the soil for fertility, lures the
cream out of fresh milk by centripe-
tai force, educates butter with chem
lical germs, marries staid and respect
able fruits to produce strange mon
lgrels, fights insects with master In
sects, frost with smoke blankets and
blight with recondite acids. He is
chemist, physicist, mechanic, physi-
clan.

CLAIMS STEEL TRUST
WAS TRICKS IDEA
Gary Says Morgan Did Not Think
Well Of Merger. w. Gates
Contradcted.

Washington-Judge +, II. Gary,
chairman Of the executive committee
Of the United States Steel corpora
ton, testifying before the Stanley in.
yestigating committee OF the House,
told a far different story Of the incep-
tin and organization OF that corpora
tion from that impaired TO the investi-
gators recently by John w Gates.
Mr.. Gates testified that J. p. Nor
gan, fearing that Andrew Carnegie
was about TO invade the railroad situ-
alton Of the country and extend his
steel manufacturing activities along
new lines with demoraliZing results
in both directions, conceived the plan
OF consolidating the big steel interests
Of the country and eliminating the iron
master Of Pittsburg. Judge Gary, on
the other hand, told the committee
that the first suggestion looking to-
ward the organization Of the United
States Steel corporation came, not
from Mr. Morgan, but from Henry c..
Frick and that the purpose was solely
to develop a well-rounded steel plant.
Morgan did not think well Of the mer.
ger at first.
Judge Gary added that until he read
testimony of Mr.. Gates he had never
heard Of any purpose on Mr.. Carne-
gie's part to extend his lines in the
steel business by building tube mill
The testimony Of Judge Gary took a
wide range. He traced the organiza-
ton Of the steel corporation, reviewed
It's acquisition OF other concerns from
time to time, again insisted that close
federal control over corporations was
imperative in the interests OF the pub.
lie, eulogized ]. p Morgan, and ex-
pressed the belief that President
Roosevelt's 'tacit acquiescence" Of the
merging OF the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Co. with the Steel Corporation show
ed Mr. Roosevelt to be constructive
stateeman."
Representative Gardner OF Massa-
chusetts asked Gary many questions
regarding the Tennessee Coal and
Iron transaction, particularly as to
why the Steel Corporation, unless it
wanted the Tennessee company as a
business proposition, paid more than
$30,0OO,000 in United State Steel
bonds, s11 100000 more than it was
believed to be worth, merely to pre-
vent the failure OF Moore & Schley,
whose obligations amounted to S5,-
100000 or S6,000,000.

Telephone linemen have discovered
new use for rats. f. II. Lawrence,
'of the engineering department OF the
Chicago Telephone company, is re-
sponsible for this description of how
rats are employed in placing cables:
"a rat is loosed in a pipe through
which a cable is TO be placed. Then
a string is tied TO a ferret, which pur-
sues the rat, carrying the string
through the pipe On the small string
a large one is attached, and on that
a still larger, until a big wire cable
is pulled through" Perhaps when all
the rats have been killed off, TO pre-
vent the possible spread of the bu-
bonic plague. the trick will be turned
by the use of white mice.

Football as a fatal amusement falls
into insignifcance compared with AL
pine climbing. The Austrian and
German Alpine clubs have just pub
lished statistics showing that between
1901 and 1910 inclusive $50 Alpineists
lost their lives in the central Alps OF
Europe, an average of nearly 100 a
year. In 1909 there were 144 climbers
killed and in 1910, 100. not including
2S persons who met their death while
picking edelweiss. OF this total Of 1913
fatalities, AZ were Germans, "a Aus
ltrians, 19 Swiss and English Eight

fatal accidents in the Alps took place
in the month of August. 1t is esti-
mated that the army of Alpinists now

New Orleans-W. |. Boutlee and
George Story are believed to have
broken all records for rapid and dead
ly revolver shooting at La Branch,

negroes in ten minutes,
The negroes were members OF a

Boutlee fell, but sat up, and as he
rose to his feet had shot four times
and killed four negroes.
George Story, a conductor, heard
the loud talk among the negroes,
