One of the points of disagreement be-
tween the group meeting today and
the line of action adopted blythe con-

Nom and the fourth at 6:13 at night
oreated great excitement throughout
roo Angeles and suburbs, caused minor
damage to buildings and physical in
inrv to a number of men, women and
children.
The morning tremor shook mortar
from brick walls and plaster from
walls and ceilings, sending four per-
cons to hospitals with minor injuries.
Part of the retaining wall at the Hill
street tunnel caved in, and some water
mains were reported broken. Plate
glass windows were broken.
Business in many establishments
was practically at a standstill after
The third shock, and crowds on the
streets were either afraid to return to
work or were too interested in learn
ing the extent Of damage, after being
frightened from buildings. Telephone
service was demoralized through
frightened operators deserting their
posts.
Public places were scenes of near
panic, some people running for the
open air some fainting, some stopping
to pray. Many gathered at street in
terseCtionS to see what would happen,
others walked down the middle of
streets with watchful eyes on build
ings, Many sought Pershing Square
as a sanctuary. a.s.. ........e
While excitement was at its height
rumors travelled fast, but when it sub
sided there was not one report of any
extensive damage to any establish
ment, while the worst injury recorded
was broken leg caused when a brick
fell from the top of building and
struck an elderly man.
Perhaps the greatest cla1nors came
from prisoners in county and city
Jails. They yelled, shook the bars of
their cells and screamed to De taken

For hours the receiving hospital
maintained by the city was crowded
with women and children, most of
hem having tainted in the excitement.
Private hospitals were also overflow

While the shocks seemed % center

October Is.
DIR. Walter Simons, German foreign
minister told his colleagues when
they met to confer over the allied
conditions that this subject had not
been mentioned during his conversa- =
tion with Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand yesterday when a verbal
agreement had been reached. The
Germans. it appears, were greatly an

terms handed them in the note of

off the Isle of Wight and breezed home
first with the cup that has since been
known as The Americas cup trophy.

line which the "Rothe Fahne" (the

ment on the income being paid to
the former kaiser.
Bourgeois newspapers" it says,
reports that since January William
has received 52,2O0,OO0 marks (nor-

That means unemployed subsistence
of 1920 marks (s18,O55) daily, or
calculated on the basis of an eight
hour day 5000 marks ($2,25O) an
hour. According to these figures
William receives as much every hour
doing nothing as blind soldier with
a wife and three children receives
in whole year. William by the
grace of God gets unemployed SUBJ
sistence which is 1000 times more
than the average mortal gets and
the latter must even fetch it and

himself. One must say that the re-
public under Ebert is paying money
enough for the specialization of Will
