These are the net results of the
earthquake which rent the capital
| Wednesday morning and injected a
note OF tragedy into what was eX-
pected to be a day of unalloyed re-
joicing. When the work of searching
the ruins is completed it is possible
that the list OF dead viii be length
ened somewhat, as hiding throughout
the city there doubtless are many
wounded who, with traditional fear
of the authorities and government
hospitals are Anxious to evade dis
covery. The property loss is an es
innate based upon calculations made
by owners and contractors. Little of
the loss is covered by insurance.
At 4:o6 a. m.

was felt, According to the meteoro-
logical observatory the greatest in
tensity was reported at the end Of
the first minute, but the instrument,
continued to record the shocks FOR
fourteen minutes more.
More than half the dead accounted
for We're soldiers. They were caught
beneath the falling walls of the artil-
lery barracks in San Cosma, locality
near the Mexican central STATION.
Another place where the earthquake
took its toll of death in considerable
numbers was the city power plant OF
the street car company. Here six were
killed and six wounded Two others
were found in the debris. consisting

Although the shock was felt in all
parts of the city few realized the
magnitude of the catastrophe until
late in the afternoon, due to the
fact that the casualties were confined
to comparatively small area. Accus-
toned as the residents are to earth
quake shocks and to their harmless |
ness on former occasions, they were |
slow to learn that this was the most !
serious shock in score of years.

st. Johnsbury, March 23.-During the
six days. from March through March
IL, the post Office kept tabulated ae.
count OF all mail matter handled by the
six carriers, as well as much other in.
formation relative to the carrier service.
Postmaster Stone has Just forwarded
these returns to Washington. The nun.
ber of pieces handled by the carrier force
in the six days was 254ss and the total
weight was 2,57s pounds, or over one ton
and one quarter. Each carrier averaged
to handle 423 letters daily, which
weighed SA pounds, while each handled
each day 29l pieces OF printed matter
and merchandise, which weighed 6gK
pounds, Thus each carrier averaged to
handle daily TIA pieces Of mail matter
Each carrier made an average OF SIG
stops daily and Travelled l4.4 miles. Tho
only mounted carrier in the service GOV.
cred Is miles daily.
These figures apply only to the carrier
service and the total figures as to the

GAYNoR ATTACKED
As Responsible for Disorganized Con-
diton Of Police.

New York, March 23.-In state
ment to the public which he issued
last night, Magistrate Joseph e. Cor.
rigan holds Mayor Gaynor responsible
for a disorganized condition of the po.
lice force and responsible for the prev.
alence Of vice and crime in this city
The magistrate said he had written the
statement after much thought and de-
liberation
"The prevention and detection Of
crime is in the hands of the police, 2
says the statement, ''and Gaynor rules
the force. He has cuItailed the power
Of the commissioner, attempting TO ex.
ercise it himself, and by SO doing he
has demoralized the force and made
easy the way Of the transgresser.
"For eight years ! have been direct
~ concerned with the administration
of criminal law in this city. | have
made long and careful investigation
and here is what ] have found:
The town is by far more open than
it was under Deyery; there is not the
slightest attempt made to enforce the
excise law; there has never been time
when the more serious oifenses con.
nected with the social evil fourished
with such impunity; gambling houses
and pool rooms have increased and are
now run without moIestation, save for
few spectacular raids, and the visit
OF the collector; graft is as rampant
and is as profitable as it ever was
"The town is infested with sturdy
beggars and panhandlers, who walk the
streets almost unmolested and take by
force when they can, what is denied
to their pleadings; criminals from all
over the country have come to New
York in droves and PLY their advoea.
tions here in safety the more serious
crimes, such q : murders. shootings, stab
bings, gang feuds, highway robberies
burglaries, assaults, and larcenies from
the person, grow in number undetected
and unpupished"
He AYERS that "the police force is
demoralized and terrified . and that any
one may prove this by asking any po-
liceman.
"We have had Is months of govern
ment by epistle,' he concludes, and
this is the result The remedy is OBJ
vious, simple and drastic. 1t lies in
the hands OF the citizens"

URGED MANUAL TRAINING.
President Spooner of Norwich Uniyer
sity Spoke in Barre Last Night.

A plea for manual training in the
public schools .oi Vermont was made by
President G. S. Spooner OF Norwich uni
yersity at meeting Of the University
club of Barre, held at the home of
Henry A. Phelps on Academy street last
evening He said that very little had
been done in the state along this line,
the first attempt in the public high
schools being at Bellows Falls. he be-
leved, and being followed by establish.
ment OF courses in q few other schools
President Spooner prefaced his discus
sion of the theme by tracing the his
torical development Of the manual train
ing idea. declaring that in Vermont It
was first mentioned in the year 1919 but
nothing resulted from the remarks made
then II was not until the Morrill, actn
of 1862 that the idea Of manual training
became firmly fixed in the colleges OF
the country, and it was many years later
than the secondary schools of the coun-
try began to take up the work. He then
outlined the development OF manual
training school courses in the city of
St. Louis, where he was formerly en-
gagged, saying that the public sentiment
OF the place was against manual train
ing in the public schools, SO that the
establishment Of courses had to be done
by privaet subscriptions, one man being
largely responsible for the innovation.
This man who was somewhat OF a
politician, too. declared the speaker,
twice asked the school board to introduce
manual training. but was frowned upon.
Then he asked ii the board would accept
the courses il the cost was borne by
private parties. This the board had to
accept; and the courses were established
in small way Then the parents be-
gan TO see the benefit OF the courses,
and they demanded more, since which
lished manual training in all of the five
public high schools, and the work is con-
sidered very valuable indeed
President Spooner presented number
of exhibits OF work done in the St.
Louis manual training school, and the
exhibits were passed around for the
audience to inspect while the speaker de-
sciibed them.
President spooner thought manual
training would be particularly good for
Barre. both in thei line OF mechanics arts
for the boys and domestic science for
the girls; and he believed that there
ought to be special courses with refer
ence to the great industry OF the city,
lust as there ought to be special courses
to suit the local conditions in any city.
The speaker urged those present to fos-
ter a spirit which shall demand the es-
tablishment OF manual training here.
Following the lecture. the guests en-
ioyed social hour and were presented
TO the speaker OF the evening; and light
were served
