Mrs. Amelia SGchtcnotll, 61, of 27 Dwight Street, Victim of Asphy xia- ton This Morning.

Mrs. Amelia Stichtenoth. aged 61 years of 27 Dwight street. was asphyxiated by gas at her home this morning. Her prostrate form was discovered by her son, on his arrival home for the monday meal. Dr. Her man StrOSSer was immediately sum moned and on his arrival he. had the pulmotor from the fire station se- cured. The efforts of the physician with the pulmotor proved unavailing.

Mrs. Stichtenoth has been un- der the care of a doctor for about two years for heart and liver trouble.

TAKE TWO RINGLEADERS IN WOOD ALCOHOL SALES
Believe Mystery of Poison Whiskey Distribution
 May Be Cleared.

New York, Jan. 5.-Two arrests, which federal officials believe will solve the mystery as to the source of the wood alcohol which caused 100 deaths in this city, New Jersey and New England, were announced today by Harold B. Dobbs. revenue agent. They were Cosimo d'Ambrosia, a Brooklyn chauffeur, who was taken into custody Saturday in a. farm house in the Catskills at Kiskatom, N Y., where he is alleged to have been in hiding, and William Weller, a Brook lyn garage keeper and printer.
 Charges against the men have not been made public, but Joseph +. Null queen, assistant U. s. attorney, an nounced he would ask that they be required to furnish $50,00O bail each when arraigned.
 Ten large drums of alcohol are said to have been found on Woller's prem ises. D'Ambrosia is alleged to have carted the alcohol over to Manhattan for shipment and to have returned to Brooklyn, putting the alcohol in 21 barrels. part of which was sent to Connecticut and Massachusetts, and then filling the drums with water. Indictments for II persons, charged with conspiracy to violate the war time prohibition act will be asked for by Attorney Mulqueen tomorrow. Nine of these already are in custody here, one in Massachusetts and the eleventh in Connecticut.
 D'Ambrosia was later arraigned be- fore U. S. Commissioner Hitchcock and held in S25,000 bail. Weller was turned over to the federal authorities in Brooklyn.
 D'AmbroSia confessed to Attorney Mulqueen that alcohol was removed from the drums in the garage of john Romanelli, a Brooklyn underta ker who is being held on a charge of con- spiracy to violate the wartime prohi- bition law. The drums were then filled with water, he said, and loaded on ship for England where they are due January fl.

TEN STATES FEEL MEx|COEARTHQUAkE No List of Deaths From Shock
 Yet Available BELIEVE MANY ARE KILLED
Disturbance Shakes Down Whole Bus mess Blocks in City of JaIapa- canic Eruption Feared in Spain.

Mexico City. Jan. 5.-Ten states were shaken by the earthquake which on Saturday night destroyed at least two villages and caused many deaths in state of Vera Cruz. These states were Mexico, Puebla, Vera Cruz. Oak aca. Guerrero, Moreleos, Jalisco, Tlax- cala, Hidalgo and Queretaro. They stretch from the Isthmus of Tehaun- tepec northwestward for nearly 500 miles and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific.
 s Reports received up to Il o'clock last night indicated the center of seismic convulsion was in the neigh borhood of Mount Orizabar a volcano situated about 50 miles west of Vera Cruz on the line between the states of Vera Cruz and Puebla. It was in this neighborhood that the most seri- ous damage was done. Teocelo, will lage 35 miles northeast of the vol cano, has been virtually destroyed and a similar fate befell Couztlan, a small hamlet in that neighborhood. Wires have been torn down by the violence of the tremor and only fragmentary reports have reached this city but it is stated there were many casualties in both towns.
 Houses Fall
 MdHN houses ana CIuTCu9S HI Jdl- apa. a city about 50 miles northwest of Vera Cruz, were damaged. while reports from Orizaba, a city ten miles south of the volcano, state that sev- eral business blocks and churches near the center of the town were cracked. In the suburbs of Orizaba the shock was severe. many persons being re- ported killed beneath their wrecked houses. The shock came during a performance at the theater at Orizaba, and panic stricken people leaped from the balconies into the pit in their eff forts to escape. No one was killed but many were injured.
 Fifteen Shocks.
 Fifteen shocks were experienced at Cordoba. a city ten miles east of Ori- zaba, where II were distinctly felt. First reports received here stated that the tremor centered at Aoam- baro, a town near Toluca, about 25 miles southwest of Mexico City. but more severe, stated that scores had were not severe there. While tele- grams last night from the state of Vera Cruz where the quake was more severe stated, that scores had perished, accurate estimates of the casualties cannot be made as yet.

SGUed From
Burning Up
1t Was a Painted Pinafore
Sea, as Dry as Day After
Tomorrow, Used as Back
drop in Gilbert and Sullivan
Opera.

The ocean was rescued from fire
this morning at the Park Theatre
in Columbus Circle, and forty chorus
girls dressed we'll enough for a
plunge into any old sea, came tumb-
ing through the stage door into
Fifty-eighth Street
1t was the "Pinafore" ocean that
was saved and cverybody-Knows that
u "Pinafore" ocean is about as dry
as the Anu-Saloon League It's a
painted thing and it is the whole
back drop Of the stage setting for the
Gilbert & Sullivan opera that is
being PLAYED at the Park this week.
The company was rchcarSin" next
weeks opera. "Ruddigorc," when the
fire started in thc'midst of the newly
painted scenery for next week. In
moment the stage was cleared and
the asbestos curtain had slammed
down.
While the chorus and principals
fought the shelter of the restaurant
across the street the stage hands
went to work with extinguishers and
hose, but made little hcadway, and
It took the regular Fre Department
to put out the blaze.
In the midst of the excitement
william Wade Hinshaw. the mana
ger, suddenly remembered the ocean
and was rushing into the theatre TO
save IL, when William Thomas, a
stage hand, came staggering out with
the limp, ungainly sea in his arms
which saved the performance for to-
night.
What are you bringing that out
for?" demanded Craig Campbell one
of the principals. why didn't YOU
empty IL on the stage and put out the
fire"

FIFTY MORE DRY
AGENTS HERE TO
CLAMP LIQUOR LID
Internal Revenue CommiS-
sioner Roper Acts to Enforce
Prohibition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5--The lid
Will be clamped down hard in New
York under the dry amendment II the
plans Of Daniel c. Roper, Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue, do not go
astray. He has announced that he
will send additional men to that city
and that the law will be enforced
drasticalIy. Conditions in New York,
he says. are bad but that he looks
for a speedy Improvement after to-
morrow night when the Eighteenth
Amendment goes into effect.
I'VE are going to enforce Prohibi-
tion," said Mr.. Roper. THE law is
plain, and people must obey IL. In
Boston the situation is satisfactory.
We are getting control there. In Chi
cago and New York conditions are
not so good, but I believe they will
become better. We are preparing to
appoint fifty new men, all of thom
New Workers., TO round up the viola
tors Of the law in that city. In Chi
cago we are reorganizing our forces"
The Prohibition Amendment be-
comes operative at 1901 o'clock Satur-
day morning. Then the agents OF the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue will begin
in earnest to make the Nation dry.
1t has been an open secret here
that Government officials did not in
tend 10 be too drastic in thcir efforts
to carry out the provisions Of the
Wartime Prohibition Act, which was
forced upon the country by extremists
who saw an opportunity TO enact their
views into law, but would soft pedal
until Jan. 16.
President Wilson will be asked TO
recommend legislation for the dis
posal Of he 7O.OOO,OOO gallons OF in
teXicating liquors now in bond. one
plan is TO have a commission pro-
yided to inquire into the amount,
condition and status OF this liquor.
and then submit d plan Tor final dis
position. Commissioner Roper. as an
AID to enforcement, will support a
proposition to require the taking over
Of the leftover liquors and the max
ing Of proper settlement for it. The
whole situation will be put up to
Congress.
