KANSAS sOLONs IN SESSION
Members of State Legislature Cheer
Governor Aliens Plan to Solve
the Labor Problems.

Topeka-The feature of the opening
of the special session OF the Kansas
legislature was the hearty reception
given the message Of Governor Allen
before the joint assembly Of the two
houses. The governor had been in
Vited to deliver his message in person.
It is the first time within the his
tory Of legislative sessions in. the state
that the governor has delivered his
original message to the body in per-
son. 1t is the first time in the his
tory OF the state that the two houses
have asked for the governors appear
ance for that purpose.
The interest in the industrial Iegis-
lation proposed by Governor Allen
was reflected by the action Of the two
houses in inviting him to deliver his
message in person. And if the re-
ception accorded the governor is any
indication of what results will follow,
it is practically certain that the in
dustrial court bill will pass both
houses.

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES MEXICO
Scores Killed in Violent Disturbances
In Southern Part of Republic
Villagers Panic Stricken.

City of Mexico.-Scores of persons
have been killed in a violent earth
quake which occurred in many parts
of Mexico the other night. The CEN
ter of the disturbance is believed to
have been near the volcano of
Orizaba.
Incomplete press reports indicate
that the state of Vera Cruz suffered
more than any other section, although
seismic disturbances were felt
throughout the republic. Advices from
Cordoba say that thirty dead already
have been accounted for in the vicin-
ity of San Juan Coscomatepec, where
many houses were destroyed. There
are unconfirmed reports of a similar
catastrophe in the village of Huatusco.
At Jalapa, further north. fifty vic
Tins of the earthquake have been
counted, including numerous dead.
Lack Of communication with the
other towns and villages in the region
of the disturbance make even an ap-
proximate estimate OF the casualties
impossible.
The earthquake caused great alarm
in the large cities Marine disturb
ances have occurred off Vera Cruz
city and there were some casualties
there, although the number is not
known, with considerable destruction
of property.
From San Juan Coscomatepec it is
reported that the shocks still con-
tinued on Sunday.
Information secured from the gov
eminent observatory at Tucubaya
show the strength of which decentraI-
lied the instruments. The first shock,
occurred at 9:45 o'clock in the even
ing, lasted five minutes. The second,
at 1925 p. M, was brief but Of ter
rifle intensity, and was accompanied
by terrifying subterranean noises. The
third shock, at 11:01 o'clock, was not
observable except by the seismo-
graph.
The panic in the capital among the
ignorant classes was indescribable.
Many OF the people fled from their
homes and flocked to the churches.
The Indians in the suburbs hurried to
the shrine of the virgin of Guadalupe.
The damage in the City OF Mexico
was limited to cracks in the larger
buildings. There were no deaths and
none Of the inhabitants was injured.

FEDERAL AGEHTS RAID REDS
Government Takes Drastic Steps to
Stop Communist Plots in America
Thousands Under Arrest.

Washington.-Tne greatest round
up Of radicals in the nations history,
was conducted recently by the gov
eminent acting through the depart
ment Of justice agents in thirty-three
cities from coast to coast.
At midnight reports indicated that
nearly two thousand members of the
Communist and Communist Labor
parties, against whom the raids were
directed, were in custody, and depart
ment OF justice officials expressed the
opinion that daylight would see twice
that number behind the bars.
Raids were conducted in the follow
ing cities: New York. Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Den
yer, Des Moines, Detroit, Grand Ra-
pids. Hartford, Indianapolis, Jackson
vile, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Louis
vile, Milwaukee, Newark, Omaha,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland,
Me-, Portland, Ore. Providence, San
Francisco, Scranton, Spokane, St
Louis, st. Paul, Springfield, Mass,
Syracuse, Toledo, and Trenton
The object OF the raids, the assist
ant attorney general, F. P. Caravan
said, was to obtain for submission to
the department of labor cases for de-
portation of "a very large number of
our most dangerous anarchists and
radical agitators." Agents of the de-
partment, he added, went out prepar-
ed to catch the radicals with the
goods on
The general charge of attempting to
overthrow the government by force
and violence, was placed against the
persons arrested during the raids.
Officials declared they believed that
several hundred members Of the Com
munist and Communications parties
would be behind the bars before
morning.
Officials here declared the roundup
was the most completely planned and
the machinery was the best oiled for
this of any raids launched against the
radical element in this country. It
was arranged ten days ago that the
raid should taken place and cOnfiden-
tial communications were sent to De
partment Of justice representatives
and United States attorneys in the
thirty-three cities.
Department Of justice agents de-
sired most of all to capture incrimi-
mating instruments, not so much lit
erature and propaganda as papers
showing details of the communist or
CARNATIONS in each city.

EUROPE'S CAlLFOR
AID IS OVERCOME
Herbert Hoover Sees No Ne
cessity for Drawing Upon
Federal TreasurY.I
MUST HELP OUT BREAD SUPPLY
Deferment of Interest Payments About
All That Is Necessary, Says
Former Food Commissioners.

New York.-Herbert Hoover, on his
way East in connection with relief
work in Europe, teIegrSphed to his
headquarters in this city a statement
in which he took emphatic exception
to opinions of European propaganda
lists" both concerning the volume Of
EuTOpe's financial needs from the
United States and contention that the
great bulk of these needs cannot be
met by ordinary commercial credits.
Asserting that with our taxes 600
per cent over previous rates" there is
no need for drawing on the United
States treatury for further loans, Mr..
Hoover states that aside from some
secondary measures by our govern
ment, the problem is one Of ratifica-
ton of peace and ordinary business
processes" He adds that by secon-
dairy measures I mean that some doz-
en- cities in central and southern Eu-
rope need breadstuffs on credit from
the grain corporation to prevent actual
starvation and that the Allies are ask
ing for temporary delay in paying in
terest on our government loans to
them"
"No Need For Hysteria."
Outside of temporarily deferring in
terest, Mr.. Hoover continued, Amer
ica's task is reduced to helping out
the bread supply of less than per
cent of the population of Europe;
that no such situation exists as that
which confronted America last year
at this time and that there is no
ground for hysteria on either side of
the Atlantic
Speaking of Europe as a whole and
asserting that "the seventy million
people of prosperous nations who have
not suffered in the war should also
aid in European relief work" Mr..
Hoover adds that IF we contribute
bread supply on government credit to
these starving cities, plus business
credits, we will be doing our share
of world responsibility"
eff we do undertake the solution Of
the bread question by our govern
ment, our action would benefit and
protect the other nations of Europe
from infection Of anarchy and chaos
he continued. Poland is the sole
shield of Europe from Bolshevik in
vasion. If We extend this help it
would be upon consideration that the
stronger nations Of Europe will do
their full part in many directions"

BREWERS AGAIN
LOSE DECISION
Federal Supreme Court Rules
That Beer of 2 3-4 Per
Cent is Illegal.
POWER OF CONGRESS- UPHELD
Contention of Liquor Interests that
intoxieant Could Not Be Defined
Upset BY Decision.

shington.-Upholding the consti-
tutionality of the most vital section
of the Volstead enforcement law the
beer is illegal and that other near
beers cannot be sold under the war
time prohibition.
The action of the government in
prohibiting the sale OF 2.75 beer after
the Volstead law was passed, October
%, 1919, was upheld. The govern
ment had no authority to prevent
sales previously to that time, how
ever, the court ruled
The decision of the court was to
4, Justices Day, Vandeventer, Clark
and McReynolds dissenting.
Action of Congress Upheld.
The important feature of the deci-
sion is that the court upheld the ac-
ton of congress in declaring intox-
icating and preventing the sale of all
beverages containing One-half Of 1 per
cent or more of alcohol. by volume,
with the exception of home made cider
and wine.
The decree of the court may be
taken as a definition of intoxicating
liquor that will stand under constitu-
tional prohibition also, because the
definite statement that congress, in
providing for the enforcement of pro-
hibition, can prescribe just what
makes a beverage intoxicating.
Means a Real Bone Dry Nation.
The case decided was an appeal
from the New York federal courts,
brought by Jacob Rupert, a brewery
corporation.
Supporting in every way the cOnten-
tons of the government and congress.
just as the opinion of the court did
when wartime prohibition was de-
clared constitutional by unanimous
vote, the decree OF the supreme trib-
unaI apparently means real bone dry
nation.
The financial interests involved in
the decision recently are estimated at
1 billion dollars by the liquor at
torneys, including the amount Of near
bear on hand and the property for
it's manufacture, which virtually will
be useless. One hope OF the liquor
interests was to convert many old
time breweries into plants for the
making of the 2az per cent product.
