SOUTH CALIFORNIA |
IS BADLY DAMAGED
BY EARTH SHOCKS
Five Are Dead and
Property Loss Is
One Million.
FIRE DOES PART
Quake Is Worst at Mexican
Border,-Little Cities Par.
TALLY in Ruins.

CalcXico, Calif.-Further eartlls
quake shocks were felt here today
Several tremors after midnight were
followed by a severe shock at ten
O'Clock this morning. Parts Of tho
irrigation system of the Imperial
Valley were affected.
IIlcentro, Calif-Originating some4
where in the old VOLCANOES of the
Cocopah mountains, the granite
backbone of lower California, a seis-
mic convulsion shook and ratified the
Imperial valley OF Californis last
night and today it's cluster of little
cities is partially in ruins.
Buildings were rent asunder and
fire did its part.
The damage was estimated at more
than million dollars in the first re-
ports coming to hand after the re-
storation of wire communication.
Five persons are reported dead at
Mexicali, little adobe town, con-
sisting principally of saloons, gembl-
ing halls and other resorts not per-
mitted on the American side, that
lies across the stream from Calexico.
No dead are reported from other val
ley points.
The roar of the trembler below the
border was the first warning the peo-
pie of the valley had. That was
about eight o'clock. The first shock
was to most the severe. Two others
followed. Electric lights went out
Jail over the valley.
Towns in Darkness.
After the first shock the stricken
towns were in darkness, except for
light furnished by the blazing build
ings. The greatest confusion reigned
everywhere. Ranchers and city resi-
dents who dined at home last night
awakened today in open fields, be-
side roadways or irrigation bitches.
AS far as can be learned, the
shocks were severest down at the
border and also below and grew less
and less the farther north they came,
so that Calipatria and INLAND appear
to have been injured slightly less
than towns at the south end of the
valley. The earthquake extended AL
the way to Yuma, Arizona. The dur
alton of the first shock was about
thirty seconds. This was followed
half an hour later by second shock
almost as severe as the first.
Plate glass windows, flimsy brick
walls and hollow tile structures
were more or less damaged No
one in the Imperial Valley was killed
The five killed at Mexicali were
caught under falling wall. Fifty
deputy sheriffs took stations about
the business district Of Elcentro and
all other towns damaged are under
patrol. Either by deputy shriffs or
militia.

kept Italy out of the conflict until
Russia was practically exhausted
While ltaly's entrance undoubtedly
will prove a great heip TO The allies
in the long run, that entrance was
so delayed by Prince v9n Buclow
that the drive against the Russians
had accomplished it's desired effect.
Russian Diplomacy in Rad Light.
Russian diplomacy is shown in a
bad light by events around the Dar-
danelles. Had Russia not tricked
Bulgaria during the second Balkan
war Constantinople probably now
would be open to the allies and am
.munltion and other supplies would
be pouring through the straits to the
czars army.
Russia's double dealing there left
Turkey in command of the straits,
and it looks as if it will be long
time before Turkey will be dislodged.
Not in the last half century has Tur-
key appeared in so strong a light as
today This is due entirely to Ger
man efficiency, for German influence
is uppermost in the Ottoman empire,
both in its diplomacy and in it's army.
In the present war Germany has
had to fight not only its own battles
but also those of Austria and Turkey
Much Credit to Joffre.
If the allies can hold out indefinite
ly even German efficiency must break
under the strain If the allies are
able to hold it will be to a large ex-
tent due to the remarkable ability of
Joffre. The doughty little French
commander ust receive higher rank
than any of the other generals, not
excepting Won Hindenburg. With an
army much inferior to that opposing
him in the early days of the war
Joffre halted the German drive on
Paris. With an army equal to the
German forces in equipment, train
ing and experience he might have
succeeded in driving the invader from
his native soil. AS it is, he has slow
ly but surely pushed him back, by
inches only it is true, but in the last
few months every inch gained by the
French has been held.
Germany cannot afford to weaken
its forces on the west front while ac-
complishing the destruction of the
Russian army, for, if it does Joffre
is likely to break through. Once the
German western line is successfully
broken France will be cleared of the
Teutons and possibly Belgium also.
AT the present time, however, Ger
many is entirely in the ascendant.
The only foe it has met worthy of its
steel has been Joffre. He has proved
more than worthy.

CLIFFORD THORNE TELLS COM
MISSION DESIRED WESTERN
RATE ADVANCE INVOLVES
THAT MUCH.

7 Washington, d. C.-The argument
before the interstate comerce COM
mission in the western railroad rate
advance case, turned today on the
increase on grain and grain products.
A. j. Norton, representing the San
ia Fe railroad, contended the level of
is below the level of rates on grain in
the east. Farmers organizations OPP
posing the increase. he said, had re-
sources OF $S,000,00O and have gone
about their fight in a systematic,
through manner.
"The farmer, however," he said,
doesn't pay any freight on grain.
That is paid by the consumer"
Washington, ID. c. Opposing
views of the effect of the proposed
increase in freight rates in western
territory we're laid before the timer
state commerce commission yesterday
by representatives of the railroad and
of interested shippers and state rail-
road commissions.
c. c. Wright, representing many
roads, made the only argument in
their behalf yesterday, which touch
ed financial conditions. Clifford
Thorne, representing several state
railway commissions and associations
opposed to the increase, replied.
Mr.. Wright maintained that con-
ditions would be fairly shown by
taking Al roads in western territory
and using them to give a composite
picture. He said this picture show
ed that labor cost, taxes and cost of
maintenance all are increasing and
that the only way in which the rail
roads can meet these increases. un-
less they reduce the number Of trains.
is by increasing their rates. He de.
clared there lad been much wild
talk about the present case being
unsupported by evidence, but that the
railroads expected the commission to
reach a conclusion on the record and
: the facts.
Select List of Roads.

taken a half dozen of the subsidiary
companies of the Southern Pacific
railroad and put them in their Al
roads and left the Southern Pacific
out. These subsidiaries show deficits.
but the Southern Pacific is one OF the
best properties in the West"
He asserted that the present re-
quest for an increase was an tenering
wedge and that if the contention of
the railroads that the book cost was
the real value of a road and that
seven per cent was the fair return
on such value was held to be sound
doctrine, the people of the country
would find themselves in few years
paying increased rates amounting to
$500, 100000 annually.
The hearing is expected to con-
tinue the remainder of the week.

RUSSIANS RETREAT AS FAST
AS HER MEN CAN MARCH.

Austrian Headquarters, Galicia.-
Despite the Russian resistance, the
general Austrian advance in Galicia
continues at a normal daily pace.
The Austro-German troops have
swept through the advanced Russian
positions before Lemberg and are
now within artillery range of the
city.
The Russians along the whole line
are abandoning as much of the Cali
clan territory each day as their in
fantry can cover in "a hours of
marching. The normal rate of this
advance has been checked only on
the lower San river.
A big hole has been opened be-
tween the two Russian armies which
are now fighting separately, and they
have been unable to effect a juno
tion on this side of the Russian from
tier.

JURY SELECTED TO
TEST THAW'S SANITY

New York City.-Harry Thaw

termine his sanity.
New York City.-Harry X. Thaw's
seventh attempt to gain freedom
since his conviction nine years ago
this month, for the murder Of Stan
ford White. was begun yesterday with
selection of jury to inquire regard
ing his sanity. If the jurors decide
in his favor and Justice HendricA.

will obtain permanent release from
the Matteawan insane asylum where
he was incarcerated after being ac-
quilted of murder, at the second trial
from which he escaped in 1923.
The selection of the jury occupied
the entire session but the completion
in one day is regarded as rapid pro-

the taking of testimony will begin.
