family to care for, Mr.. Benton had ac-
cumulated considerable money, which
he carried about with him wherever
he went. He had in his pockets when
he left his home on Friday morning
nearly 5000. When his pockets were
searched the money was gone.

MEXICO CITY
ROCKED BY QUAKE
Capital Thrown Into Panic and
63 Are Killed.
SCORES WERE WOUNDED
Many Soldiers Are Among the Dead.
Buildings Collapsed and National
Palace Is Damaged.


A violent earthquake shock, the
most severe which has visited Mexico
City In tel: years, shook the city.
Many buildings were wrecked by
the earth tremor, which lasted for six
minutes, and at least sixty-three per-
sons were killed, seventy-five wounded
and property worth 100000 wrecked.
When the work of searching the
ruins is completed it is possible that
the list of dead will be increased
somewhat, as hiding here and there
throughout the city there doubtless
are many wounded, who, with tradi.
tional fear of the authorities and gov.
ernment hospitals, are anxious to
evade discovery.
Fissures were opened in the street,
several large buildings collapsed and
scores of adobe houses crumbled upon
their occupants.
Several persons were killed through
the collapse of the building occupied
by the street railway power plant.
The National Palace had one of it's
walls cracked and the keystone of one
OF the arches was displaced.
The ancient cathedral of Santo Do.
mingo was damaged.
The oscillations moved from north
to south. The dead in the adobe
houses cannot be numbered at pres
ent. The shock was most severely felt
in the western part of the city, though
buildings in the central part of the
capital were rocked. The only for
eigner known to be dead was q China
man.
Warehouses at the central station
collapsed and an engineer was killed.
A private boarding school building
was wrecked, but none of the occu-
pants was injured.
AT Buena Vista the railway tracks
were twisted
The shock was followed by an ex-
plosion of gas at the artillery bar
racks, which added to the horror of
the scene
The shock lasted six minutes, and
many public buildings, including the
city barracks and the Belem prison,
are in ruins, while pavements were
ripped up in every direction.
All lights were eXtinguished by the
shock, and the darkness added to the
terror of the thousands that rushed
to the streets for safety.
Six soldiers are known to have been
killed under the falling walls of the
barracks at Santa Coamo, and the of
ficials of the ruined prison had mar
row escapes from death.

"Chain lightning" that blinded the

seventy miles an hour blew down trees

city. The trees tore down electric
light and trolley wires.
The rain was like a cataract. With

and the water flooded over the side

w. E.. d. Stokes, owner of the Ho-

now sixty-flve years old and a multi,

two young women, who say that he

Stokes took a random shot at them,

Conrad where she could lay hands on
them, Miss Graham says that Stokes
told her.
Stokes went to the Varuna and they
discussed the question of letters. She
was alone in the sittingroom with
Stokes and Miss Conrad was in the
adjoining bedroom. She says that she
told him the letters were destroyed,
but that he doubted her word
Then Stokes came toward her, so
she told the detectives, and tried to
choke her. She had a revolver handy
and she aimed it at his legs and fired.
Miss Conrad came running in from
the other room, and she, too, had

or else they intended to shoot low.
The three bullets that struck Stokes
lodged in his right leg. In the hall

told the police that the Japs came to
the door and held him while the girls
fired at him again.

Provides For Election Of Sena-
tors by the People.
THE VOTE WAS Ga TO "a
If House Concurs In Amendment Res
olution Will Go to the States Fof
Ratification.

The United States senate passed the
resolution proposing an amendment tt
the federal constitution providing fol
the election of senators by direct vote
The action of the senate marked the
successful elimination of an effort
that has extended over more than g
quarter of a century to bring this
question before the state legislatures
The resolution was passed by the sen
ate by a vote of Ga to "a, twothirds OF
those present, of SO, being necessary
to carry the proposition.
The resolution as adopted, however
carried with it the so-called BristoW
amendment, which will necessitate its
return to the house of representatives
which had already passed it. If the
house acts favorably upon the resolu
ion in it's amended form, which seems
likely, it will go to the states for Tati
fication as an amendment to the Unit
ed States constitution.
The Bristow amendment retains tC
the federal government power over
the manner, time and place of holding
elections for United States senators
The southerners opposed the amend
ment on the ground that it would give
the federal government power to in
terfere with the so-called grandfath
ers' clauses of the constitution of the
southern states. The vote on the Brs,
tow amendment was a tie, A to A
and Vice President Sherman cast the
vote which tackled the amendment to
the resolution.
Upon the vice president may event.
ually rest the responsibility for the
failure of the resolution, for southern
senators declared that it would never
be adopted in its present form by the
legislatures of southern states
These are the senators who voted
against the resolution on the final pas.

Record Wheat Crop For This Country

A wheat crop. the like of which has
never been harvested, will be gathered
in the United States this season if
conditions indicated by the govern
ment crop report continue throughout
the growing season.
Agricultural experts estimate the
crop this year will amount to 764,291.-
S57 bushels, an increase of 6S,S4S,857
bushels over that gathered last year.
OF winter wheat the indicated yield
is almost 480,000,000 bushels and that
of spring wheat 2S4000,000 bushels.
While winter wheat will probably yield
less to the acre this year than the
average for five years, spring wheat
will show an increased yield of two
bushels per acre over 1910 and
slight increase over the five-year aver
age yield.

Kill Eight Negroes In Ten Minutes.


w. l.. Boutlee and George Story are
believed to have broken all records for
rapid and deadly revolver shooting,
when at La Branch, La, they shot and
killed eight negroes in ten minutes.
There was one wounded which puts
Story's score a bit ahead of Boutlee.
The negroes were members of {
section gang and Boutlee is foreman
The blacks conceived a hatred for the
"boss" and plotted to kill him. They
engaged in a fight among themselves
and when Boutlee rushed over to stop
the row they turned upon him and
one struck him over the head with a
shovel. Boutlee fell, but sat up, and
before he finished rising to his feet
had shot four times and killed four
negroes.
George Story, conductor, heard the
first loud talking among the negroes,
looked at his watch and saw he had
just ten minutes before train time. He
ran down the track and arrived just
as Boutlee finished shooting. Story
then killed four negroes and wounded
one with six shots, then returned and
took his train out on time.
