3,000 KILLED BY QUAKES
APPALLING STORY TOLD BY U. S.
 EXPEDITION.
Total Injured Reaches 5000, Accord. Ing to Estimates of U. S.
 Gunboat Officers.

Constantinople, Aug. 19.-An ap. palling story of suffering and damage
 caused by the recent earthquake in
 the region about the Sea of Marmora
 was told by the members of the ex-
 petition dispatched Aug IA to the
 stricken district on board the United
 States gunboat Scorpion, guardship
 at Constantinople, which has just re-
 turied here.
 J. Cornell Tarler, second secretary Of the United States embassy, and the special mission of four doctors On board. estimates the number of killed in the various towns and viii
 lages at 5000, while the total of those injured reaches 5000.
 It was found impossible to ap- proach several villages on account of the odors arising from the bodies buried among the ruins Other vil-
 lages were simply heaps of charred debris. The plight of the survivors has been rendered worse on account of the difficulty of obtaining build. ing material
 Earthquakes continue almost daily
 at many places along the coast. In several villages visited by the expedition some of the houses which apparently were undamaged were found to consist of empty shells, the whole of the interiors having col
 lapsed. At Myriophite the appear ance of the town was deceptive be- cause a number of the houses stand ing on the street front. surrounded by gardens, were intact, but immediately
 in the rear scarcely a stick or stone
 was left upright Numerous Assures
 were observed in the ground, but none
 of great size, although the villagers reported that cleft nearly 200 feet
 deep had opened in a hillside, eight
 miles inland.

 Another Veto Expected.
 Facing another veto by President Taft the House also was ready to pass the new legislative, executive and judicial bill, reported late Friday night This bill. carrying appropria- tions of about $35,00,000, is identical with that vetoed by the President, ex- cept that the provision of seven years tenure for government employees in Washington was stricken out. It re- tained the provision to abolish the Commerce Court If Taft again vetoes this because of the Commerce Court feature. Senate and House leaders pre- dict that the bill will be passed over his head.
