Petition Now Being Circulated
Asking that West Florida
Temple Be Located Here.
MOROCCO BOOSTS THIS CITY
Mobile Requests This City Be
Placed Under Jurisdiction
of Abba Temple.

West Florida Shriners are working
towards Shrine Temple to be To-
Gated in Pensacola, and petitions are
being circulated throughout the dis
trict for signers to be presented to the
Imperial Council, now in session at
Portland. The move for Temple
here was started at the recent Shrine
convention held in Pensacola, and
nearly 300 names have been secured
favoring the location of the Temple
here.
Pensacola has been assured the
support of Morocco Temple, Jackson
vile, towards the location of a temple
here, and other Shrine clubs in West
Florida are all working for the loca-
tion of the Temple in Pensacola. The
petitions must have 400 names as
signers to be granted the privilege
of maintaining a Temple. The West
Florida members are making an eff
fort to secure this number before the
adjournment of the Imperial Council
Mobile has made a request that
Pensacola be under the Jurisdiction of
Temple Abba of that city, and the
Florida members are not faVoring
that movement. AT present the West
Florida Shriners are under the juris-
diction of the Jacksonville Temple.

the claims of Pensacola as this Sec
ton of the state will be lost to that
Temple whether Mobiles request is
granted or Pensacola maintains its
own Temple.
Several petitions are out that have
not been reported and it is expected
that these names will bring the list
to nearly the required number. Any
Shriner in the city who has not signed
the petition is given an opportunity
and petitions are being kept down
town for this purpose. The petitions
may be signed at Whites Pharmacy,
Isis Theatre or the secretary's office,

tions properly signed and forwarded
for the consideration of the Imperial
Council before its adjournment.

QUAKE DAMAGE
FOUND HEAVY
Suburbs of Los Angeles Are
Hard Hit BY Intermitted
Shocks Monday Night.

Los Angeles, June 22.-Earthquake
which began at e:43 o'clock last night
and continued intermittently until {
o'clock this morning caused property
damage in Los Angeles county es-
timated at 100000, three-fourths OF
which was in Inglewood, ten miles
south of this city. One death was
due indirectly to the most severe
shock and several persons were slight
ly injured by falling debris.
Ventura, Riverside and Orange
county points bordering on Los An
geles county reported having felt a
slight tremor about the time of the
heaviest shock here.
Inglewood where twenty zone busi-
ness buildings We're demolished and
nearly dwelling damaged, seemed to be
the center of the disturbance. South
ern sections of Los Angeles city, clos
est to Inglewood suffered more than
other districts.
In Pasadena three slight shocks were
felt and the damage was trifling.
Beach towns south and west of In
glewood reported no serious losses.

at about $4,000 consisted mostly Of
fallen chimneys, broken windows,
dishes and brio -abrae.
The damage in Inglewood was es-
timated at $4,000. The buildings
which suffered the most damage there
were on Commercial street. the main
business thoroughfare. In most cases
the fronts of the buildings fell into
the street, leaving the three other
walls standing. Several of the busi-
ness houses had been patched up so
that their proprietors resumed trade
early today.
The first two shocks which were
the most severe came in quick sue
cession, the two covering a period OF
about fifteen seconds. Following
shocks, variously reported as number
ing from three to six, were slight

Of the rafting of buildings.

|BURLESON FOR
MODIFICATION
Statement of Postmaster Gen
eral On Platform Issues Draw
Particular Attention.
MAIN FIGHT ON PLATFORM
Bryan Stands Directly Opposed
to Presidents Views On Big
Convention Issues.

San Francisco, June 22.-Postmast
er General Burleson's statement to-
day at San Antonio regarding the
democratic platform issues drew par
ticular attention among party leaders
here for the national convention next
week, because of it's frank declaration
for modification of the Volstead pro
hibition enforcement act.
Burleson's demand for repeal of the
drastic and absurd" provisions of the
act expressed in more direct fashion
the views which some party leaders
here previously voiced privately.
Coming from a member of Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet, the statement
was regarded as possible intimation
of the administration attitude on the
prohibition issue before the conven-
ton.
Preliminary discussion, while of
wholly an informal character, has
shown striking similarity of opinion
on two points thus far. First, that
the platform struggle will be the real
fight of the convention: second, that
the prohibition plank will be the chief
issue, outrivalling the League of Ma
tions declaration in interest among
delegates.
In the league issue William 7. Bry-
an is standing directly opposed to the
presidents views as to party attitude.
That dates back to the Jackson Day
dinner when the president urged DEM
ocrats to enter the campaign. on the
issue of ratification of the league
covenant without material reserva-
tions. The former secretary of state
stood just as strongly for acceptance
Of the republican senate reservations
as a basis for ratification, and in order
to keep the league covenant out of
the campaign.
If Burleson's statement is to be ac-
cepted as representing the presidents
views on prohibition, delegates said,
it is evident that Bryan and the ad-
forces are to clash over
that plank also. as Bryan is rigidly
against any weakening of the prohi-
bition laws.
There is also a third point on which
the president and his former secretary
might lock horns at the convention.
That is the mandate for Armenia
which the president asked and which
Bryan opposes
