OF Many DEATHS
THREE MEXICAN CITIES ARE De
STROYED AND OTHERS
BADLY DAMAGED.
1000 DEAD IN SINGLE CITY
An Entire Garrison Either Killed o.
nJured-Heartless Outlaws Add
Terror to Terrible Sitga-
ton BY Lootino.

Mexico City.-Couzetlan was do
stroyed by Saturday earthquake, with
1000 casualties, including more than
1000 dead, according to official re.
ports given out here by presidential
military headquarters, from adyiees
received from officers in the Vera
Cruz center Of disturbance,
The entire garrison at Teocolo
was killed or injured The dead num-
bered 80 and the injured co.
Virtually all the roads in the sur,
rounding district were flooded or do
storyed, according to reports.
Three hundred dead are reported
at Barranca Grande, near Coutzelan.
The water level at Port Barranca
del Aqua rose % metres.
A detachment Of soldiers has been
sent from Huatasco to bury the vic
Tins.
Another incident Of tragic interest
is the story that comes from San Juan
Cosmatepec, where it is said outlaws
raided the ruins Of the town, driving
the survivors of the earthquake into
the fields and jungles. Cosautlan,
village Of $500 residents, was left
with only two buildings intact An
uucounted number of victims is still
beneath the ruins,
The three towns were apparently
close to the exact center of the earth
quake area which extended about 60
miles on the eastern slope Of the vol
cano of Orizaba. Death came not only
from crumbling homes and churches
but from floods in hitherto peaceful
streams which were swollen by black
sulphurous waters, which swept
wrecked settlement along their banks
drowning the injured and carrying
scores Of bodies down stream inextric.
ably mixed with uprooted trees, dead
cattle and other debris. From a point
on the Mexican Railway. known as
Puente Nactional bodies of men, WON.
en- and children have been seen float
/ ing downstream, with no chance Of
being recovered or identified, or even
counted.
At San Francisco % bodies have
been taken from a stream and a call
for fresh water has been sent to Vera
Cruz. Rinconada also reports the re-
covery of about a score Of bodies,
while residents of San Francisco de
Ponas are busy taking victims from a
stream which passes through the vii.
/ Iage. Here also there is fear Of pes.
/ thence.
In addition to deaths in the main
earthquake area, IA were killed by
falling buildings at Huatusco, Teoce.
/ 10, which apparently has been lev.
eled, reports many casualties, but no
I figures have been sent as yet. It is
believed certain there will be many
casualties at Salmaral, Chichulcaxtl
JaloomaIco, Xico. Tlacotepec and Te
nampa, which were partially or en-
trely destroyed.

PROHIBITION LAW
HELD TO Be VALID
SUPREME COURT SAYS CONGRESS
HAS RIGHT TO DECLARE SALE
OF ALCOHOL UNLAWFUL.
OPINION Is NOT UNANIMOUS
Four Judges Dissent From Majority
Opinion as Prepared BY Associate
Justice Brandes-Faint Hope
Left For "Wets."

Washington.-By a majority Of one
vote the supreme court upheld the
right of congress to define Intoxicating
liquors, insofar as applied to wartime
prohibition.
In a four to five opinion, rendered
bv Associate Justice Brandeis, the
court sustained the constitutionality
of provisions in the Volstead prohi,
bition enforcement act prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of beverages
containing one-half Of one per cent
or more Of alcohol Associate Justices
Day, Van Deyanter, McReynolds and
Clark dissented.
Validity of the federal prohibition
constitutional amendment and por'
tions Of the Volstead act affecting ita
enforcement was not involved in the
proceedings, but the opinion was re-
garded as so sweeping as to leave lit,
tie hope among "wete 'adherents.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League Of America
hailed it as a sweeping victory and
in a statement he said the only prohi,
bition question left open by the court
now is whether the 18th amendment
is of nature that can be considered
as a federal amendment and whether
it was properly adopted.
In rendering the opinion the court
sustained federal court DEGREES dis
missing injunction proceedings to en-
Join federal authorities from prevent
ing Jacob Rupert a New York brew
or. from manufacturing beer contain
ing in excess Of one-haH Of one per
cent but which be alleged was non
Intoxicating,
The 'wets," however received
| brief ray of hope when shortly after
wards. Associate Justice Day in ar
unanimous opinion, sustained the dis
missal Of indictments brought under
the wartime prohibition act against
1 the Standard Brewery Of Baltimore
and the American Brewing Company
of New Orleans, for manufacturing
+ 2.75 beer before the Volstead act was
passed. In sustaining this action, the
court held that congress has the RICH
to determine what is intoxicating bev
erages but in view of he fact the
Volstead act had not yet been passed
manufacture Of low alcoholic bee
was permissible under the war time
prohibition act providing it was no
intoxicating.
Following the rendering Of tbs
opinion, Assistant Attorney Genera
Frierson, who has been in charge o
the prohibition cases in he country
announced that the department o
justice was ready to begin prosecu
ton Of all persons who have solc
4 beer since the passage last October 2
of the Volstead act. The names o
| all persons violating the act have beel

An enjoyable afternoon was spent by kingman women at the home of Mrs. l. c. Stricker Friday afternoon. The house was beautifully decorated with peoples, and about forty guests enjoyed the afternoon at bridge. There were several out of town guests present.
 w. J. Cook and wife and R. c. Fer gusson and wife, of Chloride, were visitors in Kingman last Thursday. The gentlemen are heavily interested in mining in the lead camp.
 Kean St. Charles accompanied by his brother, John St. Charles, of Chlo- ride, left for Oatman Tuesday, where they expect to remain a short time. Later Kean will return to Los An geles.
 MT. and Mrs. c. w. Davis are in Kingman this week visiting with Mir. and Mrs. Raymond Carr. While here MT. Davis is looking after business in connection with the Hudspeth Sheep Company.
 Persistent rumor on the streets of Oatman has it that there is merger under way of the Sam Bayless and kettelson interests, following the ex- ample set by other large companies in that section.
 Mrs. A. s. Coon, of Fresno, left Sunday evening for Albuquerque where she will visit with relatives. Mrs. Coon will return to Kingman again and spend sometime with her sister Mrs. J. N. Cohenour.
 Mrs. Edith Mccormick will leave early next week for Holbrook where she and MT. Mccormick will make their headquarters. When the wealth CT is better she will accompany MT. Mccormick on his trips through the state.
 William Caudle returned from the coast the latter part of last week, where he has been having some den tai work done, and this week started to work for the Central Commercial Company in the mems clothing and furnishings department.

Ohio and Indiana had been surveyed. It is my contention that the people of Arizona are entitled to the same ser vice and the same consideration as was given to the people of Indiana under similar circumstances.
 How can the gentleman from In diana (Mr. Wood), who is in charge of this great appropriation bill, justify the proposal he has made? It has been demonstrated that no real econ omy will be effected. It has been proven that the service will be inn paired. It has been shown beyond a doubt that all those who desire sur veys to be made will suffer greater inconvenience and expense. The ex- isting law contemplates that in due course of time, when all of the land in any State is surveyed, the office of surveyor general will be discontinued. Until that time comes, why should the people of Arizona and the West be denied the same advantages which have heretofore been provided for ev- cry other public land State? (Ap- plause.)
 The enactment of legislation abol- ishing the offices of surveyor general is but another step in the direction of standardization in Washington of business which experience has demon Congressman--30 GAL TWO
 Strated should be supervised in the field. When the office of surveyor general was first established in 1879 it was recognized by Congress that the settlers on the public domain were entitled to prompt service in the surveys of their entries which could only be given by an official in the vii cinity clothed with authority to act. The Ohio and Mississippi Valleys and the Great Plains region were success fully populated by this demand. If the people of Ohio and Indiana and Illinois and Iowa and Kansas enjoyed this advantage so long as there was public land to be surveyed in those States, why should the people of Ari- zona and California and New Mexico and Colorado and all the West be now deprived of equally good service and compelled to look to an official in Washington for relief?
 The West is now suffering from too much control by the executive depart ments. Instead of further concentra- tion of power at the seat of govern ment many activities should be decen- tralized. Instead of attempting to CO., ordinate and standardize every activi- ty by arbitrary revolving-chair regula- tors with the resulting forimality and specialization there should be great CT dispersion of initiative and respon- sibility. By this method alone can the reign of bureaucracy be curbed and the perplexing and paralyzing eff feet of official obstacles and red tape be obviated. (Applause.)

KreisIer Charms With

"Forsaken" as played by Kreisler on
a Victor Record brings to mind an in
cident of more than passing interest.
During a conversation between two
American composers recently, one re-
marked-"A theme that l heard some
where in childhood has been running
through my mind for days. / am al
most tempted TO use 1t in nv new
symphony but there is chance that

''But I cannot believe it, these two
phrases are as beautiful as anything

was transmitting this arrangement TO
Victor Records.

his beloved IN the country churehyard-
Kreisler plays it for the most part IN
"double-stops" or two string harmonies,
against a soft orchestral background
enriched with harps. At its close, he
takes up a new strain of his own as
