DEATHS FROM 'QUAKE
 MAY TOTAL THOUSANDS
Complete Information of Mexican Volcanic Di:tur-
 bance Unavailable.

Mexico City. Jan. 1.-Hundreds- possibly thousands-of lives were lost as a result of the earthquake which shook the State of Vera Cruz Satur- day night So widespread was the damage done by the shock and so wild are some of the sections that suffered from it that it is probable the number of casualties will never be known.
 Priva to dispatches received here from Vera Cruz and JalaDa state that 1000 persons lost their lives at Couztlan. These reports, which are said at both cities to be reliable, con- firm informa ton given out last night by presidential military headquarters. Thirty lives were lost at Teocelo, where three churches and 4O houses were destroyed.
 7 Volcanic eruptions have occurred at Cofre dc Perite, from which point to the volcano of Oriza ba the shock seemed to center. according to rumors Flood waters pouring down the Pescad dos River have inundated Ishuacan, Mahauxtlan and Tlapanala, while many ranches arc under water. Barranca Grande and Los SimoneS are also suffering from floods, it is
 
 bodies have been recovered from the Pescados at JaIcomulco and Apaza- pan.
 There were three slight shocks yes terday. according to information given out yesterday afternoon at the astronomical observatory at Tecobaya. . suburb of Mexico City. They were so feeble that they could be detected only by instruments. Subterranean noises are still noticeable in the Po- dregal, rocky waste near this city, and great cracks have appeared in the earth. Travellers returning here from Vera Cruz say some streams were dried up as q result of the shock and it is feared that many mills near O-i- zlba which depend upon water powur will be compelled to close.
 Several oil wells near Tuxapa Il have been spouting petroleum since the earthquake. according to adviccs from Vera Cruz.

Hearings in Cases of 1000 Aliens Held on DeportationWa arrantS at Ellis Island Begin Today. Space Made For More
WILL BE REQUIRED
 TO STATE BELIEFS

New York, Jan. 7.-Hearings in the cases of more than 1000 reds held at Ellis Island on deportation proceed lngs began today before immigration inspectors. They were taken singly from the detention quarters to small CT hearing rooms where a steno grapher recorded their testimony.
 They are asked whether they ere members of the communist party and whether they believed in overthrow of the government of the United States by violence
 Byron Uhl, acting commissioner at the island, estimated that the force of inspectors could complete from 30 to 40 hearings daily unless the extrem- ists proved recalcitrant and interpose technical objections With a hostile witness before an inspector he said it might take a whole day to complete one hearing.
 Speedy completion of deportation pre1iminar ries has not been expected. At least three local lawyers who have made a speciality of defending reds sine raids began in November are ready to conduct protracted proceed ings. Counsel for an alien is permit ted to attend the hearings and file briefs. The finding of the inspector is subject to approval by the commits sioner at the island and by authorities in Washington. When deportation is finally ordered an alien can try to bring his case before the courts by habeas corpus proceedings Many of those arrested in recent raids are likely to be released bail soon. Secretary . Wilson has decided upon S1,OoO each the amount.
 Sixteen persons sent to Ellis Island as the result of recent raids have been released by the authorities. In some cases they were found to be citizens and in others it developed there had been improper identification in mak- ing the arrests.
 Washington, Jan. 7.-To provide a place of concentration for the radical aliens taken in the recent raids by the department of justice, the depart ment of labor today took steps to re- open Ellis Island to it's full capacity.
 Anthony Caminetti, comm iSsioner general of inlmi grafton, said a report had been called for of the work nec- essary to put the station in shape to receive the expected flood of aliens who will be ordered deported
 Assurances have been received that from congress to enable the bureau to handle the deportations without diff culty, it was said.

MEN RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATHS HELD Detained Without Bail for Trial
 Next Week ALL CHARGED WITH MURDER
State Believed to Possess All Facts in Connection With Wood Alcohol Sales and Definite Action by Court Expected.

Hartford, Jan. 7-Despite vehement protests of their respective counsel the four men accused of murder in connection with the deaths of IS persons in Hartord from wood al cohol poisoning were held without bail for trial on January 4 in police court this morning. Prosecutor Alex ander W. Creedon stated without reservation. when attorneys for the defense demurred at further con- tinuance of the cases, that when the men, Nathan Salsburg, Saul Joseph, Jacob Bronerwine and Frank Rose, were finally tried in the lower court the charges would still be murder. Following this statement and pro- tests by Judge Joseph P. Futile, Josah Peck and Milton Bacharach, counsel respectively for Sa1sburg, Joseph, Bronerwine and Rose, Judge Pallotti virtually ordered the prose cutor to be prepared to try the cases when they come up again a week from today.
 ''Some attempt ought to be made next week. asserted the court in it's final statement "All the facts are in the possession of the state. We have been told by the newspapers that it is so and all the men have been ar rested in New York. So that if pos- sible we ought to be able to give these men a hearing a week from today. Then if there is not sufficient evidence hold them for murder lesser charge can be brought
 Truck Drivers Case.
 The case of Irving Botuck, driver of the truck on which the poison liquor was being transported Christ ,oie and who was charged with violating the federal liquor law, was nol1ed at the opening of the proceedings. He had been out on $500 bonds since the night of his arrest.
 Discuss Extradition Later.
 Prosecutor Creedon said this af- ternoon that reports in New York concerning extradition to Mass. of men who held in New York were a bit premature, as the Connecticut and Massachusetts authorities would hold another conference to decide which should go ahead with the cases. District Attorney Wright of western Massachusetts and States At torney Hugh M. Alcorn and MT. Creedon were in conference here Monday on this phase of the matter. Another meeting is to be held but MT. Creedon would not say when.
 May Be Tried in Hartford.
 Although Mr. Creedon would not talk much about whether Massa chu- setts or Connecticut would finally try the poison ring those who have been following the case closely are inclined to believe that all of those held in three states would be brought to trial in one jurisdiction so that the links in the chain of evidence might be kept intact. There have been more deaths in SSachuSettS but Connecticut and New York are be- lieved to have in custody the men who are held to be responsible for the deaths. The adjournment of the four case this morning is believed t obe for the purpose of having the state make no binding move against the here until the question of jurisdiction is finally woked out.
