TRUE POETRY IS

of this city, last night at a banquet
given to the ladies in the Masonic
Lyceum. East Orange. There were
about two hundred present. Justice
Stafford spoke on "rhe Gospel Of
Poetry interspersing his talk with
verse.
Poetry he said; nothing deserves
that exalted name unless it stirs the
soul, unless it eompels emotion. How
ever, criticism can never be final, be-
5 cause all do not have the same sym
pathies nor view alike.
Hospitality is a poetic gift. In some
people 1t alone saves them from
savagery. There is the patriot. and who
will say a patriot is not a poet, for a
patriot is a lover, and all lovers are
poets. A night of danger has made q
nation of poets. Heroism is poetic. It
is the poetry of conduct. Life runs
along in a nonotonous tenor; suddenly
something tragic calls forth the hero,
and we hasten to do him honor. Re
Aigion Is the poetry of morals, and the
more the ceremonies connected with it
the more the poetry

Mexico City, June Thousands
Of persons who had flocked here to
participate in the monster demon
stration of welcome to Francisco L.
Madero, Jr., revolutionary leader,
were thrown into panic this morn
ing, when a severe earthquake rocked
the city. Ten soldiers are reported
to have been crushed to death in the
city barracks. and almost every pris-
oner in Belem jail was injured.
So far as Is now known there were
no casualties in the city proper, but
the earthquakes made necessary a
change in plans for the triumphal en-
try of Madero.
1t is feared the damage in the city,
however, has been heavy, and that
great loss of life occurred in the dis
tricts just south and west of the cap
ital.
Wires south and west of Mexico
City are down, and no details have
yet been received.
The heaviest shock occurred Just
before daylight. Wires were pros
trated and the city lighting plant put
out OF commission.
In the confusion Of the darkness
of the early morning hours the terri
fed populace-men, women and chill
dren-rushed frantically into the
streets.
Every hotel and lodging house in
the city had been crowded with
guests waiting today's celebration,
In these places confusion relgned.
Guests scantily attired rushed to the
streets, fearing the collapse OF the
buildings in which they slept
Shortly after the first and most Sc
we're shock, rumor that insurrectos,
displeased with Madero's leadership,
and plotting against him, had at
tackled the city and blown up the
powder magazine at the barracks was
wildly circulated
The continuation Of the shocks
which lasted for several minutes
soon put an end to this story.

Seattle. June 7.-Wappenstein's ex-

noon. Asked by viii H. Morris, his
chief counsel, if Gid Tupper gave
him $1,000 on August 5, 1910, in cur
rency, Wappenstein replied
Nothing of that kind ever hap

Wappenstein denied that Upper
visited him in his office by means of
a private entrance.
"The first time Tupper came to
headquarters" Wappenstein said
"he was called there by me to eX-
plain the sale of cigars in the re-
stricted district which had been re-
ported as stolen from uptown. There
was continual jangling between the
police department and Tupper.. Tup-

stopped.
81 never interfered in the restrict
ed district except to keep order,
said Wappenstein. 81 merely recon-
mended Tupper to Senator Nichols
when Tupper told me he could not
get the Paris house lease except
through a strong recommendation;
that he was as good a man as others
who would go into that kind of bust
ness.

there would be chance to make

Many of the largest buildings in
the city were heavily damaged The
streets were strewn with wreckage.
Pavements were ripped up by the
force of the shock, and the water

In the general wreckage OF the
city the trlumphal arches erected for
Madero still stood, while the brilliant
decorations, in which the national
colors predomlnated, fluttered In tat
