1912, a fleet of IA icebergs, some OF
them rising to more than 100 feet

 VI0LAT0RS OF
 LICENSE LAW
Over 15O Motorists Have Been Taken For Not
 Having 1920 Markers.

Automobiles who insist on oper. ating their cars under 1919 licenses are still being apprehended by the police and told to report to the traf- fic division at police headquarters. Once in the office the offenders are given their choice of arrest or stand ing in line until they secure the proper licenses and markers. Every driver thus accosted has chosen to stand in line rather than face arrest and arraignrnent in the City Court for violating the state auto law.
 It was reported at the Traffic de. partment this morning that over 15t Bridgeport motorists have been taken by the police for failing to display 1920 markers on their machines. The practice of merely summoning the tardy ones to appear at the Motor Vehicle office has nearly reached its limit, however, and it is expected that formal arrests will be made if the State law is any longGr violated.
 The crowds of applicants a:. the of flee of the Motor Vehicle department thinned out considerably today, and no one was forced to wait an unrea- sinaHble length of time before. obtain ing a 1920 license. In view of this fact, the police have determined. to allow a few days more before making arrests in all cases where autoists have failed to secure new markers o1 licenses

CASUALTIES DUE TO EARTHQUAKE
 FIXED AT 2,000
One Village Has Disappear. ed-Several Others Are
 Destroyed.

Mexico City, Jan. 7-The estimat- ed number of casualties attending the earthquake Saturday evening in the western part of the state of Vera Cruz still stands at 2,000 or more.
 Despatches from the stricken area do not even estimate the damage done, nor do they give accurate lists of dead On the other hand, they do not deny reports of the disap- pearance of one village the total de- struction of several others, and the inundation of several towns by wa- ters pouring down mountain streams
 Fragmentary advices here were moreover seen to indicate that the toll of dead will amount above first estimates. It is said the village of Salti1lo has virtually been destroyed and that S5 bodies were recovered from the ruins on Tuesday. Thirty bodies have been taken from the Pes cados river at Apazapam, Pueblo Viejo and San Carlos. Despatches from special correspondents in the earthquake zone while lacking dn spe- cific details, tell of the pitiable plight of survivors of the disaster many of whom lost their homes and are living in the open in hourly fear of renewed shocks.

Coroner Phelan for the sudden rush into the street by Annie Stanakia, 977 Ma plewood avenue, who was struck and killed by an automobile last Tues day night. The victim was nine years old.
 Emily Shemsis, 9s7 Maplewood 1 avenue, testified that for the past two years a man about 45 years old, of stocky build and who has a dark mustache, has been annoying girls in that section of the West End where the witness lives. The witness said she heard another girl say that Annie Stanakia was frightened when this mysterious man tried to seize her and she attempted to run across Fairfield avenue.
 The Stanakia girl ran in front of an automobile driven by Michael Haros- kie of Greens Farms, who is employed by Dutee W. Flint, an automobile dealer of Golden Hill street. He tes- tified that he was driving slowly but did not have time to stop the machine because the girl ran out suddenly from the rear of a trolley car. Judge Thomas c. Coughlin, counsel for Har- oslSie, said his client was not guilty o1 any negligence.
 The coroner sent for the other wit mess who is alleged to have seen the mysterious man chasing the Stanaka girl. The police department will alsc Investigate this feature of the case
