GREGORY UPROLDS THE BOY SCOUTS
 OF AMERICA

New York, April 22.---There will be no Federal investigation of the off, ical conduct of Colin H. Livingston, president of the national council of the Boy Scouts of America, and James E. West, chief scout execu- tive.
 That much was made evident yes terday when officers of the Boy Scouts made public @ letter written by Attorney General Gregory to John D. Gluck, commissioner at large of the United States Boy Scouts, de- clining even to retain in the files of the Department of Justice Gluck's pe- tition for such an investigation. The letter of the Attorney General to Gluck administers a sharp rebuke to him for having made the complaint which the Department of Justice should never have received, MT. Greg ory said, because it contained no trace of proof---or even an allegation---of wrongdoing by any one connected with the Boy Scouts of America or ganization.
 When Gluck's complaint was mailed to the Department of Justice in March that fact was communicated to the newspapers anld received wide pub licity, together with the explanation that if the complaint was entertained the United States District Attorney here would immediately take the mat ter up.
 "The statements contained in these news items" the Attorney General
 said in his letter to Chuck, were not
 based upon anything derived from the
 Department of Justice, either directly or indirectly. It is evident that there was a plan to injure the Boy Scouts
 of America and to use the Depart
 meut of Justice as a vehicle to ac- IconDlish this end"

If enacted, the president declared. the bill would place the United States on level with it's enemies. The meas ure, he said, is opposed to the spirit and purpose of the espionage laws.
 The presidents letter follows:
 My Dear Senator-Thank you for your letter of yesterday. am heart lily obliged to you for consulting me about the court martial bill as per haps I may call it for short. I am wholly and unalterably opposed to such legislation and very much value the opportunity you give me to say so. I thing it is not only unconstitutional but that in character it would put us nearly upon the level of the very people we are fighting and affecting to despise. It would be altogether inconsistent with the spirit and prac- tice of America, and in view of the recent legislation, the espionage bill, the sabotage bill, and the woman spy bill, I think it is unnecessary and un- called for.
 ''I take the liberty, my dear Sena- tor, of expressing myself in this en- phatic way because my feeling is very deep about the matter, as I gather your own is.
 "It is admirable the way you have been handling these important bills, and thank you with all my heart for standing by the bill which bears your name without any compromise of any kind.
 Tt gives me the greatest satisfac- tr +aJI ciated what you have been doing.
 Cordially and sincerely yours, =. WOODROW WILSON,

 If American opinion supports the policy of simultaneous Home Rule and conscription, the influence of the United States may yet settle the Irish crisis, many leaders here believe.
 A profound impression has been made here by expressions of opinion from the United States, especially the cabled messages of Irishmen of Geor- gia to John Dillon, leader of the Irish Party, approving the two measures with the expectation that the men of Ireland will fight with the Allies as are the Irishmen of America.

QUAKE RUINS BUSINESS DISTRICT
Los Angeles Suffers Little From Shock; But One Life
 Reported Lost. BIG OFFICE BUILDINGS PUT OUT OF PLUMB Wells and River Beds Dry for Years Fill With Wa
 ter After Quake.

Los Angeles, Gal. April % More than one-third of the bus mess district of San Iacinto and a smaller proportion of that of Hemet, both in River side county, about 70 miles east of here, were in ruins today and scores of residences in the two little towns were wrecked by a series of earthquakes which caused all of southern California to tremble late yes terday afternoon.
 The property damage is estimated at from s1O0,0o0 to $150,00o in the two places. Half a dozen other towns and cities including Los Angeles, sui fered minor damage, confined mainly to plate glass windows and shattered cornices.
 Hemet and San Jacinto have popu- 1ations of less than 1000 each. They are about three miles apart and lie in a picturesque country which was i made the scene of Helen Hunt Jack sons novel "Ramonia"
 Only one life was known to have been lost, that of Frank B. Darnell a retired manufacturer of this city who was drowned wher he fell off { pier in Santa Monica, a beach re l.. @f ro14 ure seekers on the pier made a wilG dash for solid ground when thu | shock came at 3:33 p. m. and Darnel was swept from his feet. Persons l in scores Of theaters and motion pic | ture houses in this vicinity were | frightened and many suffered sligh 1 injuries in their rush to the exits When night fell over the partl! ruined towns of Hemet and San Ja cinto order had been restored anC organizations of home guards patroll ed the streets. Four blocks of Sal Jacinto's business district wert wrecked and one block in Hemet | Three distinct shocks were felt j, | San Jacinto The first threw to tn, ground several persons and horses At the second shock all the building on the south side of the main stree began to collapse and the third shocl | brought down those on the nortl side.
 Electricity failed immediately and l within 10 minutes the breaking of thu gas mains made it necessary to shut off the supply. The water mains wer' not much damage.
 One of the freaks of the earth 1 quake was the sudden flows in wells Many artesian wells, dry for years showed a sudden free supply of wa ter. This sudden increase of wate manifested itself particularly in the San Jacinto river. Before the earth quake it was dry Immediately afte the tremor the river at a point below the town showed a flow of 12 inche ! in depth and 40 feet wide.
 The earthquake of yesterday wa almost a repetition of that of Christ mas day, 1899, when the two town suffered shocks of like severity.
 Fear was expressed in Los Angele
 that several large office buildings ha
 been thrown out of plumb. A surve,
 will have to be made. The Washing
 ton building, a large business struc ture, was perceptibly separated iron the Currier building, immediately ad
 joining.
 The earthquake was felt over larg
 territory in the west. Tremors wer
 felt in Arizona and Utah.

Whether or not better poultry is

chicks is sure to result. One OF the
most frequent causes Of poor success

In brooding Ia low vitality In breeders.
Chicks Matched from poor breeding
stock grow slowly, lack energy to range
widely, mature late. and do not reach
the size OF good strong birds. The pull

generally do not produce enough TO pay
for their feed. II the farm flock Is
to be improved. only such fowl as show
size, vigor and egg producing qualities
desired should be used as breeders.

and grow out into big fellows worth
