Six Hundred Killed in
Barranca Grand by Cat
aclysm of Last Week.
Score of Mexican Viii
lagos Destroyed When
Mountains Split Open.

Mexico City, Ian. ii.-Six hundred
persons were killed at Barranca grande
when that place was destroyed by the
earthquake, of Saturday, January 3, ac-
cording to special dispatches just re-
ceived from Vera Cruz last night.
JaIapa, former capital of the state Of
Vera Cruz and Te0ceIo we're virtually
ruined, II Is said, while the village Of
AyahuaIco was crushed by great rocks
disIoged from the adjacent mountain. A
similar fate Is reported to have befailen
the village Of Exhuacan.
One small child is said to be the only
survivor of the inhabitants of the village
of Santito. state of Puebla, which was
overwhelmed by poisonous gases. In
dian refugees arriving at Huatasco from
the San Miguel region are unable to give
any details regarding the loss of lives
there but say hundreds of persons were
killed.
Crater Still Active.
Although the new crater at San Mi
guel is still emitting fire and smoke. re-
ports from other districts in tic earth
quake zone add little to those already
received. Government dispatches which
were filed after the first excitement and
confusion had ended give small hope that
the original estimate Of 1000 dead will
be decreased.
A slight variation in the names OF
villages inundated by lake formed on
the Cofrc de Perote wiley is gwen in
a Vera Cruz report. IT is said the towns
covered by the watets were Platanalan,
Quimextlan. Barranca Grande, Guscale-
ra. Istlahuacan, Choyula and San Jose
Alchichica.
Couztian Is Destroyed.
Advices do not ag:e, a. to the mum
ber of casualties at Cou-tlan but 1t IS
confirmed that the town WAS destroyed.
--latest reports give reduced numbers OF
dead. Unconfirmed :epor:s received
stated there were six hundred dead in
ChlieIota while no reports have been
lccp,ve.. as to the situation at the little
tow1 of Calcahualco, which WIS report
cd to be completely vani she'd with Its
200 inhabitants. At Platana.an, the
mountain overlooking the town split in
two parts. many people being crushed
to death.
In the San Miguel district deaths from
gases are reported to number upward OF

BARNES WARNS

Control Lifts.

New York. Jan. 11-Warning of price
hazards which may confront wheat and
flour handlers after the withdrawal Of
government control when the activities
Of the Grain Corporation are brought to
an end in June. was contained in
circular sent by Julius II. Barnes, wheat
director, to the holders Of the $4,000
licenses he has issued.
Emphasis is placed by Mr.. Barnes on
the statement that .'the reduction of con-
signments to the minimum required for
the conduct of necessary current busi-
ness will be wise commercial policy
for the grain trade. on the termination
of two years of official stabilization and
in view of the present world situation.
That there is even now an element OF
the population which has demonstrated
a desire to practice thrift is evident from
the reception given to the grain cor
poration's pure wheat flour. which the
government recently made available to
the consumer at reduced prices. the
wheat director states. He predicts that
thrift as q national characteristic may
become a contagious extravaganza.
"No Guide, Says Barnes.
At the same time be attributes recent
price advances in certain grades Of flour
to Restricted transportation and extra
ordinary Indifference to expenditures BY
a section Of our people.
There is no guide to point the way
to commercial security. Mr. Barnes
says.

usual problems, soon to be faced. We
can only warn of the play of world wide
factors Of unprecedented potentially, and
submit information as accurate as is
humanity possible on which business poll

Our total 1919 wheat crop exceeded

curious fact develops. however, that by
continued requirements from the south

eastern mills will probably draw their

western mills can grind fully equal to

corporation, it is fairer to ask the mills
to discontinue their weekly offerings

open to them individually without neces-
sity for permits.
Farmers. milers and dealers, outside
Of the grain corporation own and are
carrying 437 100000 bushels Of wheat
against o99. 100000 year ago. Seriously
ponder on this statement. After June !.
the grain corporations authority to buy
wheat at the guaranteed price expires
and thereafter the security Of that basis
is withdrawn The fact that present
prices largely rule over the government
guarantee should not obstrurt a study
of conditions which may develop and at
a time when that price assurance no
longer exists. Americas complex and
delicate marketing structure must be
preserved and prepared to function when
this agency retires''.
