New York Police Surprised. Schepps Said to
Be Willing to Talk to the Dist. Atty. But,
Very Naturally, Afraid of the Police.
DIGGING TO BOTTOM.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE arrest of
Sam Sehepps in Hot Springs has Civ
IN new impetus to the Resenthal
case. It is considered the most i'm
portant development since the confess
sions of Jack Rose and BRIDGE"
Webber led To the Indictment of Police
Lieut.. Charles Becker as the alleged
instigator of the murder. Sehepps has
been wanted badly by the district at
torney TO complete the evidence he has
secured.
One of the most interesting features
in connection with the arrest is that
the police authorities here appear to
have had no hand in the capture. Late.
tonight, nearly "a hours after the ar
rest of Schepps. Deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty had received no
official confirmation of it.

ABOUT 1000
Figure Set for Number Of
Earthquake Fatalities.
No Authentic Reports Yet Re-
ceiVed as to Extent Of Damage,
Terrible Want In Stricken Zone.
Government Doing Its Best.

Constantinople, Aug. 1.-THE inter
ru2tion of Geographic communication
makes it very difficult te obtain aeca-
rate details of the disastrous zeismic
disturbance which occurred. Aug. 9,
on both sides of the Dardanelles.
No accurate figures of the number
of victims can yet be tabulated. though
some estimates place the death list at
1000 and the number of injured from
5000 to 600o.
In the town of Shar-Koy, which was
completely destroyed, go of the fnhab-
itantr were killed and $50 injured.
Shar-K oy is on the Sea Of Marmora,
Y miles northeast of Gallipoli, which
is in ruins.
Fires caused by the upsetting of
lamps used in illuminating Ikons are
reported from many cities, and a
large number of buildings We're de-
stroyed.
Everywhere in the stricken zone
there is terrible want and distress APP
peals for doctors and help are con-
stantly being received at the capital
and the government is doing its ut
most to satisfy them The ships are
crowded with injured patients. The
Vail Of Adrianople, today. reported the
loss OF life there was small, but public
buildings We're seriously damaged.
Ganos-Hora has been wiped out 50 per-
sons being killed and 30 wounded The
wrecked buildings took fire and most of
them We're burned to the ground.
Shar-Koi was completely destroyed and
two nearby villages We're engulfed. Adri-
anople suffered little damage, but Tchor-
Ia was partially destroyed by the earth
quake and fire.
The center of the disturbance appears
TO have been in the region of the Dar-
danelles. Eye witnesses have arrived
here from that section and give harrow
ing accounts of the havoc wrought. The
majority of the houses in Gallipoli are in
ruins and the people are camping in the
fields.
"Reminiscences is in an equally bad
plight, but the loss of lives in these
towns is small. although the injured are
many.
The shock was felt on the warships
anchored in the Dardanellea IT was first
attributed to Italian torpedo boats. The
captain of the American steamer Vir-
ginia reports that the lighthouse at
Canos Hora, in the sea of Marmora, has
disappeared and that the villages in the
surrounding country are in flames
He was unable to anchor and render
assistance owing to the violent movement
of the sea.

New York, Aug. 1.-The upward

dustrial activity may not in a sense
prove detrimental rather than helpful
to securities, is inviting attention OF
spectators. 1t is pointed out that a
