HERRICK Is NAMED.
Ohio Man Preferred Ambassa dorship
to France


Washington, D. president Taft
has offered the post of ambassador to
France to Myron T. Herrick, of Cleve-
land, Ohio. Information of the presi-
dents desire to name Mr.. Herrick as
successor to Robert Bacon was OBJ
tanned here from excellent authority.
1t was learned that the president in
tended when he left Washington on
his trip to Ohio to ask Herrick to &C.
cept the diplomatic post at Paris, and
in the event of Herrick's declining to
go abroad, to invite him to assume
charge of headquarters that are soon
to be opened in Washington, in fur
therance of the Taft campaign for re-
nomination.
Dispatches from Columbus indicate
that President Taft had authorized the
statement that he had not asked Her
rick to take charge of his pre-conven-
ton campaign headquarters. In view
of this circumstance it is believed
here that Herrick has signified his in
tention to accept the Paris post or has
asked for time to consider it.

CHILD BUREAU OPPOSED.
Senator Bailey. Of Texas. Has Fling
at Views Of Woman.

oenaior Bailey. Of Texas,l Has Fling
/. at Views Of Woman. a3
Washington, D. C.The proposal
for children's bureau in the depart
ment Of commerce and labor to inves-
tigate and report in all matters affect
ing the welfare of children, was de-
bated in the senate without action.
Senator Gallinger opposed the bill,
contemplating an unwarranted intru.
sion into private affairs. He discussed
criticisms Of the reports made by q
child labor bureau q few years ago.
and said that these reports revealed
nothing worse than the turkey trot''
dance in vogue in Washington City.
Mr.. Hepburn attacked the bill as 9
discrimination against the poor and
Senator Overman branded it as un.
necessary.
: Senator Smith, Of Georgia, made
his maiden speech ia support Of the
bill. He said it would be of vast ben
EFT to children, without interfering
with state rights.
Senator Bailey attributed the bills
popularity to the influence of women,
who, he said, should confine their at
tention to subjects outside the halls Of
Legislation.
The more woman knows about
the things she ought to know" he
said, the less she knows about things
we are doing here. !"
Senator Stone characterized the bill
as inquisitorial and involving unlim-
tied expenditures. Senator Borah,
author Of the bill, said that the bureau
was as much warranted as many OF
the existing government offices.

LONDON NEWseoY Is HEIR.
Grandson Of HIGH Californian Bsrins
Suit for Estate.

Grandson Of Rich Californian Bseins
1 $. Suit for Estate.
San Francisco by al action filed IN
lie Superior court here. London
6ewsboy became contestant for :
fortune.
The suit, filed by Mrs. Amelia A.
Dierks in behalf Of Etienne Bsillard,
. lad whom she found selling papers
in London two years ago, reveals the
story of the boys abandonment in
Paris, after the death Of his mother
and the discovery. according to Mrs.
Dierks that he is the grandson Of the
late Dennis Hayes, wealthy pioneer
mining man Of California and that he
was restored to his relatives by the
chance meeting with his benefactress
in London.
The boys claim to share in the
Hayes estate Of approximately $780,
600 is entered in the suit just filed.
Mrs. Dierks found Etienne Buillard,
then IL years old, selling papers in
London two years ago.
"You speak like an American" she
said.
"My mother was an American, /" re-
piled the boy. "She died and have
almost forgotten her, but she taught
me to talk"
The boys memories Of his parents
were vague, but Mrs. Dierks learned
by investigation, she says, that his
mother was Annette Hays, daughter
of Dennis Hayes, and that she had
been married to Etienne Buillard, q
supposedly wealthy Frenchman,
against her fathers wishes, and gone
to Paris to live. Further inquiries re-
vealed the whereabouts of an aunt,
Mrs. Cecilia Laib, living in San Fran
cisco, and Etienne was taken to her
by Mrs. Dierks. The luxury of the
Laib residence palled on the boy and
he left within a week, going to the
home of Mrs. Dierks, with whom he
has since lived.

Tremor Felt In All Parts Of
United States.
Glaciers croan and Crack-people
Rush Into Strssts- Coat
May Change.

Valdez, Alaska-Violent earthquake
shocks, the severest ever experienced.
were felt over various sections Of
Alaska, the movement being from
northeast to southwest, with oscilla-
ton through an arc Of six degrees.
From Cordova came word that
heavy shocks were felt far into the in
terror. The temblor was was felt on
the coast as far west as Seward, Fair
banks and $50 miles inland, with re-
ports that the shock was most severe
in the Tanana valley.
At Cordova the first shock lasted 10
seconds and caused buildings to sway
alarmingly. Everyone rushed into
the street for safety, but no damage
was done.
A wireless message from st. Paul
Island says all are well on the Priby-
loft islands.
Nine minor tremors of brief dura-
ton followed the first shock. Where
there are only two-story wooden build
ings no damage was done.
The glaciers in the Copper River
district groaned and cracked ominous-
ly during the earthquake. Reports
received from points along the lire of
the Copper River & Northwestern
railroad say Sheridan, Miles and
Child's glaciers gave off a sound re-
sembling the booming of cannon %
the ice groaned and cracked. The
terrific cannonading was heard IL
miles away. At Flagpoint the rum
bling of Sheridan glacier was heard 80
minutes after the first shock subsidized.
The crevasses in the glaciers are
filled with snow and it is impossible to
ascertain whether the glaciers moved
forward. It is believed; however,
that the shock has so shattered the ice
that when the glaciers become warm
in the spring they will advance and
discharge more rapidly than ever be-
fore.
Owing to the warm winter and the
strong northwest current, ascribed to
a change in the course of the Japan
stream, but accounted for by scien-
lists as due to continued southeast
gales, the earthquake has caused great
excitement and there is much specula-
ton as to possible changes in the
ocean floor.
The tremor was of sufficient vio-
lence to shake goods off the shelves in
the stores and to stop clocks in all
parts of town.
The steamship Alameda has just ar
rived here. Her officers report that
she was delayed by thick weather and
earthquake conditions.
