SEVEN TOWNS DESTROYED
 BY SECOND EARTHQUAKE
 DISTURBANCE IN MEXIO
TWO AMERICANS WERE WARNED, EXPLANATION Mexican Govt. Answers h. quiry Into Murder By
 Bandits.

Mexico City, Jan. s.-F. J. Roney and Earl Boles, Americans, who met death in the Tampico region early this month were killed by rebels after hav- ing disregarded warnings from local authorities who advised them not to venture into lawless regions alone, ac- cording to telegrams from state off, cials at Tampico given out tonight by the interior department. They were shot by outlaws on the seashore be- tween camps belonging to the Inter national and Trans-Continental Oil companies, it is said.
 Advices given out here state that followers of Gen. Manuel Pelaez, out law chief and virtually independent ruler in that district, had been ex- pecting to receive munitions from steamer at that point on the coast. Certain bandits who were rivals of adherentS of Pelaez learned of the expected shipment They lay in wait at a point where they thought the munitions would be landed and when Roney and Boles appeared the rebels believed they were carrying arms to the Pelaez forces. Fire was opened upon the two men who were killed.
 It is stated government forces are pursuing the bandits and that the for eign office has asked local authorities for further information regarding the shooting of the two Americans.

MASSACHUSETTS, TO GET MEN FOR ALCOHOL TRIAL
New Workers Probably Will Be Sent to Bay 
 State.

Hartford. Jan. 9.-That Ma.ssa cllu- setts would get the alleged poison Whiskey gang held in New York by federal authorities appeared evident today with the return of secret true bills in Springfield Thursday night by a special session called to consider the wood alcohol cases. District Attorney Charles H. Wright of Weston, Mass, and Prosecutor Alexander Creedon or Hartford went to New York today to attend the conference there with fed eral authorities concerning the final disposition of the men now held in that city on technical charges of haN- ing violated the federal prohibition law by transporting liquor Prosecutor Creedon said before leaving that if the p Massac chusetts authorities did not want the men some of them would be brought here charged with murder.
 Whatever the decision in New York may be it is believed that the four men now charged with murder here in connection with the deaths of 3 vic- tims of wood alcohol poisoning, would not be eXtradited to Springfield but would be tried here. Public sentim ent in this city is so strong against the - men that it is safe to say the Hart ford county authorities having work ed from the start on the case, will not give up Salsberg, Joseph, BronerWine and Rose to another jurisdiction.

Rochester N. Y., Jan. 9.-James l.. Odell and his wife Pearl were charged with murder in tfa first de gree for the alleged killing of Edward I<neip whose body, covered with bruises and stab wounds, was found yesterday beneath a culvert on the Mosquito road south of the city.

 ion. are held at the jail as witnesses.
 The police say they have confes- sions from both Odell and Mrs. Odell. According to these, the mo- tive for the crime was, revenge for alleged relations between the young woman and Kneip two years before her marriage to Odell in this city on December 5 last. The victim was taken handcuffed to the lonely coun- try road on pretense of being in GUS
 tody of Odell who impersonated an officer, and the taNicab dismissed. kneip was then handcuffed to :, tree and Mrs. Odell beat him with q file about the head until he became un- conscious. The handcuffs were then removed nd the two started away.
 Odll returned to get a letter from kneip's pocket and started to cut the clothing off the body. He says ac- cording to the police that Kneip sprang to his feet and struck him. Mrs. Odell then, the police say struck Kneip with the file and knocked him unconscious again. She took a knife from the victims pocket and slashed him several times. The two hid the

MOST SALOONS no
 CLOSE ON FRIDAY
With Ban on Cider Business Will Be Small After National Prohibition
 Amendment Takes Effect.

A. E. Monsees, president of tho Liquor Dealers association Of this city, issued a statement this afternoon to the effect he expects that the greater part of the saloons now open will be closed on next Friday. Jan uary 16, when the national prohibition amendment will take effect. It is probable that several will remain open, selling near beer and other soft drinks, but, according to the informa- tion given MT. Monsees, only few will do so. The association has not held a meeting recently and has not taken any action on ordering the saloons closed, and will remain quiet until the end.
 When the national prohibition amendment takes effect the sale of cider, which has been large during the past several months, will be pro- hibited, and with the taking away of the only drink that has any kick" to it, most saloon men will find it a hard job to meet expenses by what they receive for the sale of soft drinks. MT. Monsees made a state ment to the effect that they will all be closed before a month is out.
