Writer Says.
Bv the Associated Press.

Nagasaki, Sept. 6.-The correspon-
dent of the Toxic Asahi Shimbun tells
thrilling story of his experiences in
Yokohama during the earthquake.
He says the whole of Yokohama, in
Guiding the harbor, was turned into a
huge mass of fire.
Warehouses of the Standard Oil and
Rising Sun Oil Companies quickly ex'
ploded. y
The burning oil flowed into the
creeks and thence into the harbor,
igniting launches, barges and sampans.
Refugees who reached the heights
overlooking the devastated city, frantl-
cally shouted for missing relatives.
Fissures formed in the streets of the
city two and three feet wide and ten
feet deep, and charred bodies lay IN
the road every few yards.

PLIES A BLACKSNAKE

WELDING a long blacksnake whip
that cut into the faces and hands of
four daring bandits who tried to hold
him IN on a lonely stretch on the
Castroville road late Wednesday
night, Elario Robes, farmer, routed
the holdup men and prevented them
from robbing him of S160 in cash.
Robes had just sold a bale of cot
ton in San Antonio and officers be-
Sieve the bandits followed him from
town. They were robbers dc luxe,
riding in high priced closed car.
Robes lives ten miles from San
Antonio on the ranch of DR.. Louis
Hirshfield of San Antonio. He was
driving home alone when the attack
was made about nine miles out of San
Antonio.
The big car pulled up alongside the
wagon. One bandit jumped out and
grabbed the mule team by the brides
and tried to stop them. One stayed
in the car. The other men started to
crawl over the side of the wagon. All
were armed with guns.
Robes raised imself, uncurled his
long blacksnake whip and dashed the
faces of the men climbing up the
wagon. He flayed them right and left
for c few seconds and the. one of the
men shot at him point blank but
missed. He whipped up his tam and
turned his attention TO one man who
was still trying TO get over the side
boards. The mules started up under
the lash and the man in front was I'M
able to hold them. Robes fought the
man still on the wagon and just then
another shot was fired at him. The
mules then broke into a run and he
left the bandits behind. They got
into the closed car and turned around
and started in the direction of San
Antonio at full speed.
Robles told deputy sheriffs that the
men were white. He expressed the
belief that they had followed him from
the city. knowing that he had some
cash with him. Officers are conduct
ing n search for the men. 1t is be-
lieved that they are am: tours.

BOTTLES ARE "SH0RT"

As n result of mixing bottles which

charged against the Mistletoe Cream
cry of San Antonio in nineteen at
fidayits filed in justice courts Thurs
day morning by Fred v. Small, in
spector of weights and measures. The
charges were filed following an in
vestigation by Charles Il. Baughman.
state commissioner of markets and
warehouses.
The bottles objected to are marked
100" and - or" They were bought
some time ago for the sale of spe-
cial product. milk chocolate. by the
company. Commissioner Baughman
stated that he had found these bottles
filled with cream and sold as half
pint.
The bottles have been returned by
patrons to the wrong company and as
a result many dairies in the city are
using the short measure bottles, with
out knowing that they are one ounce
under weight.
The commissioner stated. that in one
small creamery he found 20 half pint
bottles of cream and among them
was II of the 400 bottles. He has
been in the city for several days con
Quoting an investigation and stated
that he has reason TO believe that APP
proximately 10000 of the BOTTLES. may
have been used in the distribution of
milk and cream.
The bottles were bodght for the
sale of the special product. but because
they look similar to the regulation
half pint bottles, they have been used
by mistake for some time.

Rome, Sept. G.-The Italian conten-
ton in its conflict with Greece now
seems so strong that unless something
unexpected occurs Great Britain will
receive another setback. =
THE English viii again have to
pay for backing the wrong horse, -
the opinion expressed here.
Italy can practically ~ what she
likes. for. the Franco-British diver
gence splits the only European COM
bination capable of forci'5 them to
cvacuate Corfu or to accept the De-
cision of the League of Nations.
France and Italy apparently have
discovered a working basis for that
which they long had sought in vain.
The writer believes that the French
will remain neutral. will discourage
Jugoslav action, will, tscitly back
Italy-and in return will receive
Italian support in the Ruhr.
This outlook is immensely pleasing
TO the anti-German AID anti-Maeyar
blocs. Czechoslovakia and koumania
are delighted.
Poland considers the situation sin
gularly fortunate, for the throwing
of Italy into the arms of France re-
moves the only danger of aid to the
Anglo German side of the Ruhr con-
troversy. France too, will reap inn
mense advantage.
Yesterdays decision of the League
of Nations at Geneva to postpone
decision on league intervention oc-,
casioned no surprise here. 1t was
considered almost certain that the
council. rather than further disrupt
the league by Italy's exit. would de-
eide that the Italo-Greek situation
was outside its jurisdiction. preferrins
another moral defeat TO physical blow

Refugees Tell Narrowing
Tales of Japanese Quake

Consul and Mrs. Max d. Kirjossoff,
Vice Consul Paul r. jerks, DR.. Wor-
den. DIR. Gilmore, Smith l.. Zembsch,
Paul Cannon, Angela and - Gim-
son. All of the foregoing nine victims
were Americans.
Refugees from the fashionable sum-
mer resort Myanoshita, 40 miles south
west of Toxic, arrived here yesterday.
Most of them were attired in Japanese
clothing. Only one foreigner is known
to have been killed at this place. His
name is given as Hurst.
There were further fires in Toxic
on Tuesday and troops were blowing
up buildings to prevent the spread of
flames.
There has been considerable law
lessness, and looting has been attempt
ed in both Toxic and Yokohama. Mar
tial law is now being reinforced rigid
ly in the whole earthquake district.
The Toxic garrison has been rein
forced by troops from Utsonomya, To-
kasai and Sakura.
Worse Than Frisco Qua,.e.
The American steamers President
jefferson, Steel, Traveilar and West
Jena and the British Knight Templar
and Lyeaon are arriving with more
fugitives. Altogether 1000 foreigners
have arrived here from the stricken
cities or are expected soon.
Consuls and leading residents have
formed relief committee and already
about $4,000 yen have been subscribed.
Generous responses TO urgent calls for
clothing are being made.
1t cannot be too strongly emphasized
that Yokohama. as business center
and popular stopping off place for
tourists, no longer exists. The hotels,
business houses. government offices,
consulates, churches and theater have
all been destroyed.
Persons who were in San Francisco
at the time of the earthquake and fire
describe the Yokohama situation as far
worse in every way.
