LONDON. October "A new governs
ment department is In process of crea
ton for purposes connected with de
mobilization. The return of soldiers
to civil life Will create good many
problems. The first necessity is that
one department have cognizancc OF
every man who has been with the
colors, what his occupation and wage
were before the war, and all other in
formation which would help to find
work for him. To this end, card
index system Is being organized and n
card is to be prepared regarding every

Nominally, the new department will
be- branch of the War Office. but, as
tho war gets nearer to its conclusion
and the necessary data have been got
together, the work will become even
more important than that Of the War
Office itself.

Does No Damage

That was great storm which struck
the valley about 10 last evening, but
tie results were Of no great conse-
quenee.
The summer storms that come in oc-
ca sionally from the northeast are liza
Bile to be great buffers, and this one
was no exception.
There was brilliant lightning with
moderate thunder and heavy dash Of
rain occasionally, but the sum total
was just about enough moisture to
Day the dust.
The power service was interrupted
for a short time and the telephone con-
rection with the coast was interrupted,
but the telegraph wires remained in
place.
Vegetation is much prettier for the
washing it received and the roads are
somewhat improved, while the crops
may have received considerable ben
eft.
Word from points further north in
the valley indicate that the rainfall
vas much heavier than here, though
nc material damage is reported from
aEv point.

Shocks Are Felt at Eureka.

LuIchd, Sdi., aug. o. Auc IuOSI
violent earthquake felt here since
April, 1906. when San Francisco was
practically destroyed, rocked the city
and northern Humboldt county at 6:55
a. m. today, arousing late sleepers,
who fled from their homes. There was
no material damage.
There were two shocks, each lasting
several seconds.
Similar reports came from Arcata
and other points north of here, but
the shocks were slight in
the southern part of the county,
which is traversed by the 1906 fault
lire, which dips into the ocean near
the mouth of Bear river.
United States weather bureau re-
cording instruments here registered
the shocks. 1t was said to be the
first disturbance, seemingly confined
to the northern part Of the county, felt
here. "''

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
REACHING ITS CLIMAX

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The john
SON. Booth senatorial battle, with Gov
ernor johnson in Los Angeles county,
and Willis Booth in the San Joaquin
! valley, is reaching its top notch of
warmth, and both the candidates are
tnrowing verbal shrapnal into the
ranks of their opponents as rapidly as
trey can hurl it.
Governor Johnson has exploded a
| shell in Los Angeles, however, that
his supporters seem to think has
caused about a. many casualties in
the opposition ranks as anything
else he has sent in the direction of
the Booth supporters in some time.
1t is ammunition of Booths own
making, too, it is alleged. for it is in
TIE form of a letter written by him
to Mayor Edward Simpson of Paei-
fic Grove, in which it is alleged
Booth said:
Permit me to say, in response to
Your inquiry, that there appears to
te no fundamental difference be-
tween the Progressive and Repubh-
can platforms, as adopted at the
Chicago conventions. | am heartily
IL accord with the Republican ma
tional platform, and isasmuch as its
essential qualities are identical with
the Progressive platform, the latter
is, of course, not an issue, owing to
the fact that the Progressive national
organization has endorsed Hughes and
Fairbanks"
Speaking of the letter, Governor
Johnson says:
"For me to seek the Republican
nomination, declares Mr.. Booth, is an
iniquity and an enormity, because of
the tremendous difference between
Republicanism and Progressiveism
But when Mr. Booth solicits the sup
port of Progressives the difference
fades away. When he begs Progress
sive support, according to his owr
written words, there is no difference
this year between Progressivism and
Republicanism.'

Contractor Kennedy was later allowed
to resume work, on his promise to see
that the specifications were fulfilled
The two architects in their report
last night stated that the first eleven
feet Of the walls constructed would not
hold water, the concrete having been
improperly made, and in some places
showing a quarter of an inch of mud
between the layers Of concrete. In
other places there are pockets in the
concrete and rod may be stuck
through the poorly mixed material.
The two architects recommended
that the sections of wall under discus
son be patched up, and then re.en-
forced with a properly constructed G.
inch wall Of concrete on the inside
Contractor Kennedy and Consulting
Engineer Olmstead did not agree with
Il is report, and the matter will be re
ferred to an expert in Los Angeles.
The matter will come before the
trustees at a later meeting for final
decision.
The work on the outfall sewer to
the septic tank will be completed in
about two weeks, and the task of lay
ing the pipe from the tank to New
river has been started by Contractor
Kennedy.
The two months extension Of time
gives the contractor until October 9
to complete the entire contract, but
il will be necessary that all sections
cf the sewer be tested according to
the contract before the system is
turned over to the two cities.

Presidents Renorf.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Three rail.
read presidents reported to the COM
mittee which is trying to formulate
an answer on behalf of the roads to
President Wilson'S suggested plan for
meeting demands OF the union brother
hoods. the substance of their confer
ence with the president at the White
House. 1t is understood the purpose
10. that visit was to secure Wilson's
specific ideas on how the railroads
are to reimburse their treasures for
the many additional expenses which
would arise out of acceding to the
pr esident's plan for an eight-hour
wage basis.
The attitude of the president on
this subject was not disclosed, but
the report was considered significant
az showing in what direction the rail-
road heads are turning in their efforts
to reach a conclusion.
Louis W. Hill, president Of the
vi col -NOI lHciH IdI!"dy anu one Ol
the strongest opponents of the eight
hour day, declared in a statement that
many wetsern roads in particular
would have scant earnings next year
and that many would be forced into
receiverships by an eight-hour wage
basis.
"This is a time when, instead Of
being burdened with useless and un-
called for expenses, such as are de-
manded by the brotherhoods, the rail-
roads should receive every encourage
nent in order to meet the needs OF
the country" he said. "Such an extra
burden as contemplated by the eight
hour demand would not only cut off
all possibility of dividends and exten-
sons, but throw number of western
railroads into receiverships and Grip
pie their usefulness to the territory
they now serve"
The three presidents who were at
the White House last night left with
President Wilson comprehensive
statement of the estimated cost of ex-
tending an eight-hour day to all rail-
read employees and employees in indus
trial concerns throughout the country,
with the request that the president ex-
ap.ine them carefully.

at NOtre Dame.

Miss Ellnor Wolf of the News

students OF the University of NOtre
Dame yesterday morning on the
housing problem in the country and
especially in South Bend. She
showed how the problem in one way
or another would reach each student
either as a voter taxpayer or a citi-

The difficulties that sometimes
prevent good people from participant
ing in the good work of housing re-
form was also discussed by the
speaker. Men are characterized by
the fear or learning in a general way
in the housing laws and building
codes. etc, said the speaker.
She discussed at some length the
relations between bad housing. dis
ease. vice and crime. These are
breeders OF disease and the perpetu-
alton Of vice and poverty" She
then proved this point by character
ling several places. In speaking Of
the housing conditions, Miss Wolf
said in part:
Housing VIII affect everyone,
either as a voter, taxpayer or a citi-
zen. AS voters each one should
know what attitude the law makers
have toward the housing of the poor
