in interest in what called the human things
OF life Robert Lansing is baseball fan: he is
also painter of no mean ability; he knows how
to handle the rod and reel and can land with
neatness and dispatch brook trout or small
mouth bass Moreover Mr.. Lansing likes the
social life and not infrequently he is to be seen
at afternoon affairs when state department duties
are not pressing, and still more frequently at eve
ming affairs where, one might say he loosens
up bit and talks in way to draw his auditors
and to hold them.
Oswald Garrison Willard has written in the
New York Evening Post this little description OF
Mr.. Lansings personal appearance:
The contrast between Mr.. Bryan and his sue
cessor Is nowhere more marked than in their
personalities. Mr.. Lansing is a handsome man,
with notably fine eyes and winning countenance
that lights up most attractvely when he is
amused. He smiles with his eyes as we'll as

eyes OF his questioners. Usually he is wearing
the black cutaway of statesmanship. You feel
instinctively that he Is man to tie to, the KIND
which shrewd. intutive women would naturally
seek as a counselor. Indeed. this title which he
has hitherto borne in the state department nts
him like glove
In the paragraph which is quoted something is
said about the secretary Of state being hand
some man. Some Washington residents declare
that he Is the handsomest man in the cabinet.
Others do not agree to this but all admit that the
secretarys way OF carrying himself Is all that II
should be- II is perhaps probable that Mr. Lam
sing knows that he carries himself well. AT any
rate he alone is responsible for his carriage
while his tailor is responsible In considerable
measure for making the secretary admittedly
the bestdressed man In public life In Washing
ton.
II may be asked who is. or, rather. who was.
Robert Lansing? While the answer Is not 10 De

MORE INDIANA INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury Returns True Bills Against
1913 Politicians on Charges
of Election Frauds.

Indianapolis, June 23.-Thomas Tag
CART, Democratic national committee
man for Indiana, Mayor Joseph Bell,
Chief of Police Samuel Perrott and 125
other Indiana politicians were indict-
ed yesterday by the Marion county
grand jury, charged with conspiring
to commit forty-eight felonies in con-
nection with the recent county prim-
airy registration and election.
Thomas Taggart was the first Of
the indicted men to appear at the sher-
iff's office to acknowledge service in
the case. He was closely followed by
Mayor Bell. Each was released on a
personal bond of $1,000.
The indicted men will be arraigned
before Judge James A. Collins of the
Marion county criminal court Judge
Collins was elected on the successful
Republican ticket in the election
which will be probed in the prosecu-
ton of these Democratic leaders.
Although the majority of the 128 in
dicted men are Democrats, there are
several Republicans, notably Robert
Meter, ex-chief of police and sheriff
of Marion county.

Considerable damage was reported

as far east as Yuma, Ariz. The first
shock occurred at o'clock and con-
tinued for about minute The second
shock, which occurred an hour later,
lasted forty-five seconds.
Reports from the stricken district
are meager and it is difficult to get

square miles, is in darkness.

persons are known to have been killed

California Quake Predicted.
1t is interesting to note, in cOnnec-
ton with this report, that a serious
California quake was predicted June 1
by August Schaeffer, of MaysviIle, KY
The prediction was published in many
city newspapers as a sort of joke.
Schaeffer said that within four weeks
of the time of his prediction San Fran
cisco would be virtually destroyed by
volcanic disturbances He also pre-
dicted that the East would be swept
by devastating floods and that New
York would suffer from a tidal wave
soon. Schaeffer is master mechanic
