leo, Saturday August 2.-(By
Wireless to the Associated
Press. six dreadnaughts of
the Pacific fleet were severe
ly shaken by a double earth
quake shock at ABB o'clock
this afternoon, 80 miles off the
west Mexican coast. None of
the warships reported any
damage.
The New Mexico trembled from bow
to stern as if she had struck an I'M
charted reef and the navigating officer
sounded collision quarters" on the
flagship's siren. Sailors in the foretop
said the basket masts of the warsh:p
swayed like poplar trees in a gale
Officers on the quarter deck hurried
to their posts and the crew and ma
rines took their places. Meanwhile
all water-tight compartments on the
New Mexico were closed and inspection
parties were sent into the holds to see
if there had been any damage to tie
hull
Admiral Hugh Rodman, commanding
the fleet. quickly recognized the cause
of the disturbance. Turning to Cora
mander Brainerd. he ordered:
Signal all ships in the fleet and see
if they felt any excessive vibration"
Wireless telephone messages were
received soon from the five other
dreadnaughts reporting that they felt
the shocks.
The Mississippi which was further
off shore, reported heavy vibrations.
When the first tremor of the snip
was felt, those below hurried on deck.
The faces of some of the recruits
showed alarm as the men stood at
quarters awaiting orders, while The
flagship rolled and pitched in the
heavy swells that followed the shock.
Admiral Rodman kept the crew ST
quarters for Is minutes and then or
dered the secure signal to be
sounded.

AND
WATER POWER HIT
BY REPEAL PLANS
Vote to Repeal All Tax Ex-
emptions Means Heavy
Financial Blow to Many
Concerns of State
BY WILLIAM l.. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, August ). - (Speclal.)
Shipbulding and water power COM
panies in Alabama, which have been
enjoying certain tax exemptions since
coming into the state, were struck a
heavy financial blow when the house
of representatives voted to repeal all
exemption clauses. whether enacted in
1907 or 1911. The vote on the repeal
ing clause came at time when there
was much confusion on the floor, and
when the small majority of representa-
tives present were weary from the
steady grind they had been subjected
to during the week. The committee of
the whole house previously had agreed
only TO eliminate the exemption clauses
so far as they relate to another To-
year exemption and the vote to repeal
all the exemption laws came as sur
prise even to the administration lead
ers.
The matter must yet be fought out
in the senate committee of the whole
and finally by the same body in regu-
lar session, Power company and ship
building officials appear to be conf
dent that the senate will not concur in
the action of the house.
Illustrating the effect the repeal of
the laws will have on companies build
ing ships in Mobile is the following
The Ch1ckaSaW Shlpb uildlng COM
pany. construction of which was started
in 1918, under the laws now on the
statute books. will be given certain
tax exemptions for period of l 0 years
from the time the ground was broken
for construction. They have enjoyed
exemption therefore, for the first
year. having nine more years under
the present law. The house of repre-
sentatives went on record as taking
away this exemption.
The Alabama Power company, worth
millions of dollars, still has three years
longer to enjoy the exemption privi-
leges. The house would kill the ex-
emption law. requiring the company to
begin the payment of certain taxes
when the revenue bill becomes effec-
tive.
Large companies now enjoying ex-
emptionS in Alabama are: The Alabama
Power company. Georgia Allah anna
Power company, the Pea River Power
company the Chickasaw Shipbui1ding
company, the Mobile Shipbuilding COM
pany, Murnan Shipbuilding company,
Henderson shipbuilding company and
Alabama Dry Docks and ShipbIlding
company.
At the beginning of the revenue bill
fight last week in the house Repre-
sentative Shaw told the house com
mittee the state of Alabama would be
breaking faith with the corporations
by killing the exemption clauses. He
said the concerns came into the state
under the impression they would ge,
certain tax exemptions, and that they
should have it..

CLERKS STAGE PARADE

Admission, August 3.--(SpeciaL)
Striking retail clerks and union sym
pathizers to the number of 256 staged
parade through the length of the bust
ness section both ways Saturday night,
and while hundreds of people thronged
the sidewalks, the union people of
practically every craft in the city gave
visible evidence of their sympathy for
the workers who are out on strike.
Led by L. E. Winstanley, state rep
resentative of the American Federal ton
of Labor, the marchers proceeded south
on Noble street to Ninth street, coun-
ter marched and walked again through
the main business section, cheering as
they went. A representative of the
Street Railway Mems union carried a
United States flag at the head of the
column and beyond the national en-
blem no banners of any kind were
shown by the marchers.
After reaching the starting point aft
er their trip through the streets, the
marchers disbanded without any sign
of a demonstration and mingled with
the hundreds of pedestrians who had
gathered along the sidewalks. No as
semblies of union people and their sym
pathizers such as marked the Demon
stration of the previous Saturday night
occurred, and while practically the en-
| tire police force was held in readiness
no occasion for their presence was
seen.
On the surface there is no change in
| the local strike situation. The mer-
chants are going ahead with their bust
ness affairs, as well as they can with
what help they have been able to Sc
cure, and the clerks are apparently as
much determined to stick it out as
they were when they walked out of
their places several weeks ago.
