1000 VICTIMS MAY Be
DEATH TOLL IN QUAKE

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 15.-While the
official figures on the dead from the
earthquake calamity received at the
ministry of the interior making the
total slightly under 900, had not
been added up to this forenoon, un-
official estimate of the fatalities still
ran as high as 1000.
A dispatch to the Mercurio from
Coquimbo, says the American vice
consul here, stated all Americans in
.Coquimbo were well.
Some reports received have had it
that there were 1900 dead in the
town of Vallenar but these are con-
sidered exaggerated, as the latest
figures give in the neighborhood OF
1900 casualties both killed and
wounded in that town.
1t is believed, however, that the
total killed and injured in Vallenar
Valley will reach some 1900.

SEE CONGRESS
CLASH MONDAY
Will Come at Opening of Ex-
traordinary Session, it is
Believed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15:-The
first clash between the administra-
ton and the new order in congress
will come almost with the opening
of the extraordinary session of con-
gress next Monday.
1t has been made known at the
White House that the President is
going to bat with his ship subsidy
bill right away, and the necessity of
passing the marine bounty legisla-
ton will be the principal burden of
his message.
1t is undecided whether this mes
sage will be written or delivered in
person, but as he is determined to
get the shipping bill through, and
knows of the opposition in prospect,
1t is most probable he will give it
the greater emphasis of personal
presentation.
The answer to the announced pro-
gram was instant. Senator Borah
expressed surprise at what he called
"a second attempt at party suicide"
and in effect gave notice that the
effort to force the subsidy through a
lame duck" congress Twill take UP
a vast amount of time without re-
sulting in it's enactment into law"
Moreover, the prophecy is made
by various senators that putting the
ship subsidy first will block all the
legislation proposed for the special
session.
This is a diplomatic way Of saying
that in the unexpected event of the
Presidents seeming to have enough
votes in the senate to pass the meas
ure a filibuster will be instituted
that will tie up for not only the
special session but for the period of
the short session that follows.
The threat in this goes further
than preventing the passage of the
measure, for it would logically lead
to the calling of the sixty-eighthi
congress in extra session nine months
ahead of it's regular time, which the
administration naturally is most
anxious to avoid.
Nobody doubts the ability of the
President to get the measure
through the House with record
speed. for with seventy-fve tame
duck" congressman, practically all
of whom are looking for appoint
ment to some government job, Mr..
Harding has a club of irresistible.
potency.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. to-
Ralph Holman, campaign manager
for Charles Forman, the new surro-

deny that he had agreed to appoint
Holman deputy surrogate if he was

this letter claims that he personally
influenced Forman to enter the race
and acted as his campaign

steamship West Hematite, bound
from Hamburg to New Orleans, has
been taken in tow by the steamer

at the sky. City people know little about
clouds and winds. They seldom enjoy the
glories OF the stars and few of them have any

canyons in which they dwell. The genuine
