BUILDING is DAMAGED

Santa Barbara, July 3.-tN-A
series of sharp earth shocks Jared
Santa Barbara this morning. The
vibrations loosened a few bricks and
widcned the cracks in some Of the
shattered walls and toppled few
wrecked chimneys to the ground. but
no other damage was reported.
Following the shock this morning
there were wild rumors concernin,,
the damage. but they proved to be
without foundation or exaggerated.
One report said that the mansion of
c. J. G.. Billings Of Chicago. which
is located in Montecity. had been de-
stroyed. A detail Of police and
newspaper men visited the place and
found the buildings in practically
the same condition as they were
after the original quake last Monday.
Bruised In Scramble
A few persons working in wrecked
or damaged buildings were bruised
in their scramble to get out. but
a visit to Cottage hospital where
the quake sufferers are cared for
shows that no persons have been
added to the injury list.
The city officials reported that
the city hall. which escaped prac-
tically undamaged in the first shock
Monday. suffered little in this
mornings quake.
The reconstruction commiss on
was in session in the city hall at
the time Of the shock. and in the
rush to get from the buildings, City
Manager Hubert Num-. who has been
laboring under strain and working
necessarily since Monday. slipped
and fell on the stairway. He was
taken home. but is not thought to be
badly hurt.

PLAZA THEATER IN
 BRIDGEPORT BURNS
Old Playhouse Is Scene of
 Spectacular Fire

Bridgeport, Feb. 8. -- A fire, be- Ilieyed to have been caused by re- gently installed self-feeding oil fur mace, last night damaged the old Plaza theater on Fairfield avenue to tan extent Variously estimated at $5,000 to $1O,000. Only efficient and heroic action on the part of the tiremen prevented the destruction of the entire building, valued at about $300,0OO.
 The orchestra floor collapsed with ceveral firemen who were fighting the stubborn oil-fcd flames, but none of them was seriously injured. One fire fighter was taken to the St. Vim cent hospital overcome by smoke.
 The fire last night was the second in as many days in an unused thea ter, the Park tlieater on Main street being slightly damaged on Sunday evening by blaze on its third floor, occupied by offices. Both buildings are held by the S. 7. PoIi interests.
 Traffic in the center of the city was paraIyzed for a long time, and only after careful rerouting did hhc police restore nearly normal c6ndi- tiOns.
 Water which was poured on the flames in great quantities penetrated an underground cable vault of the

SENATOR BINGHAM ACTED QUICKLY AND WE'LL

Senator Bingham is to be highly commended for instantly~calling the attention of the Veterans Bureau to the shameless manner In which veterans Of the World War, some of them suffering from tuberculosis, were said 10 have been suffering from an inadequate supply of blankets at the veterans hospital in Allingtown.
 The remarkable thing about the occurrence is that the medical di- rector of the Veterans Bureau was in ignorance of conditions at the Allingtown hospital, and that he thanked Senator Bingham for call ing his attention 10 conditions.
 The Veterans Bureau, If it is to be efficient, should know of condi- tions In all the hospitals without the necessity of being informed by others
 The Connecticut senator should call for another investigation of this bureau.

A NEWSPAPER OPERATED
 BY TNpIAyES

For years John c. Eastman, pub fisher of the Chicago Journal, print ed a worthy family newspaper of distinctive quality. The paper sur vived excessive competition in 8 field where numerous publications went to the graveyard of disillu- sionment and failure. The Journal held its head above water during fair weather and foul, unswerving in it's principles of dealing fairly with the news and the public, and pos sesslng some distinctive features that its clientele liked and for which 1t was eagerly read.
 But Ar. Eastman had no rela- tives to whom to leave the property at his death. He died last week. The will discloses that the property is left to the tried and true em- ployes who have been identified with the paper for many years,
 The Journal is the oldest after noon paper in Chicago. We join the remainder of the American press in wishing the new owners a con- tinuation of prosperity.

"MU SLING" TO NOME TO BATTLE DISEASE

| Nome, Alaska, is in the center of a gold-minng district. and the total of wealth that has been extracted from the ground there has been considerable,
 But man does not live by gold alone There are times when a sup ! ply Of diphtherla antl-toxin is much more important.
 Nome is regarded as healthy city - for anyone who can stand the frlgid atmosphere throughout the winter IL is cut off from steamer connection with Seattle, 2,S71 miles distant, from October 10 June. When navigation ended last October there was an insufficient supply of dlph- theria serum on hand. as recent events proved.
 And so We have the spectacle of a champion dog sled driver rush ing a new supply over the wastes to the stricken city. Other "mush- CTS" spreading out from Nome were 10 meet him, or have done SO. The champion "masher" reached his goal with the precious serum frozen.
 The story of this dash by mod ern Paul Revere over the snows to relieve an epidemic in what is per- haps our most isolated city has high dramatic values. It's unusual features have caused it to gain wide publicity in the newspapers.
 The same number of deaths from diphtheria in, say New York, would not occasion more than a mild publicity response. But New York would have enough serum available. and the percentage of population stricken would be in- finitesimal. And there would be no wild dash with dog sleds over a tractless waste. In short every ele- ment that makes the Nome story of public interest would be lacking.
 Nomes population in 1920 was S52. A diphtheria epidemic without serum in such small municipality is menace not remotely compar- able with a similar number of vic- tins in a large city.
 And there is the story of the country doctor" who has had the brunt of the hard work in Nome; and the few nurses in the town hos pital.
 Taken from all its angles it is a story of frontier life such as we scarcely expected to read about in the 20th cen

OUR BUILDING BOOM CONTINUES

There was a time when building operations virtually stopped during the winter; but that is not the case today. The building trades are prid- Ing themselves upon evolving a sys- tenn whereby building operations can continue during cold weather in northern latitudes. and much of the seasonable unemployment that formerly existed in the building trades thus Is avoided.
 We are seeing some of this right in New Britain. January has seen | stalwart continuation of the building boom that began in the city the latter part Of 1924; news that 5s permits, representing con- structon valued at nearly half million dollars, were issued during January tells its own story.
 Similar conditions prevail through out the country wherever 1t is profitable to build. Winter no long CT holds terrors for the building trades. This does not mean that everything about construction work can be accomplished in winter as effectively as in summer, but 1t does mean that considerable of the work which formerly was not done in winter is entirely feasible under the new methods that have been adopt ed.
 That the building boom continues in the city unabated is noticeable to all who make observations as they walk or ride through various portions of the city. It is a fine sign in a growing city and Is another in- dIcation that the future of the city is well thought of by the persons who put up the buildings.

STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR CITY

A larger percentage of improved streets is a species of civic enter prise that all citizens as a rule favor especially in these days when there Is an automobile for nearly every house in the city.
 The street improvement program of the Board of Public Works, therefore, is something that exerts a wide appeal among citizens. The program includes apportionments for all sections of the city, thus in- dicating that sectional favoritism Is being shown.
 It is to be hoped that the 1925 program of the board receives the most careful and painstakirg atten- ton by the Common Council. The program appear to be reasonable and the city will take good step forward by having 1t adopted and carried out,

AN EFFECTIVE MENTOR
 OF JUSTICE

Attackers and automobile thieves are running into hard lines in Mas sachusetts. One Percy Friedman, just sentenced to 1-2 years on one charge, got another years on an- other. He was one of the ring of thieves whom Motor Registrar Frank A. Goodwin charged was be- ing protected " by the authorities. Four of his pals also received sen- tences.
 The motor registrar has been publicly criticizing the judges for meting out soft sentences to auto mobile bandits and crimes connected with automobiles generally, and his strictures appear to be bearing fruit In heavier sentences.
 Some of the judges have been very angry at Mir. Goodwin but the latter has allowed few weeks to pass without handing out additional evil dence" to the newspapers. Practi- cally all the newspapers back him up.
 How his strictures have worked is indicated in the case of one David Namet, one of the ring" convicted. He was at first sentenced to three months in jail and stay of sen- tence granted. Goodwin cited Namet's record and the soft sen tences passed upon him in various courts.
 And what was the result: Three days later the $-months' sentence and stay of sentence complained of by MT. Goodwin was revoked and one of IS months imposed, stay of sentence being refused.
 As a mentor of the judges, the courts. the district attorneys and law generally, MT Goodwin is In a class by himself. His Dlain strength lies ill having the records of every crook and near-crook arrested in the state in lis filing cabinet, every sentence passed out by the courts of the state 10 automobile bandits, and the judi cial record Of every judge. These he makes public at the psychologi- cal moment and the effect is posi- lively devastating at times,
 IL is said he is entirely immune from contempt proceedings because of the contents of his filing system.

AN UNUSUAL STORY OF 4 CAVE TRAGEDY

If a man in Cave City, Ky, were 10 be killed outright by being run over by an automobile or by hav- ing a boulder fall on him, the news of the occurrence would not get on the news telegraph wires further than a few hundred miles from the occurrence. The Louisville Courier Journal probably would print two inches about it.
 But in Cave City since last Fri day a man has lain imprisoned in a cave. with a boulder pinioning his leg as he Fay prostrate. Rising waters in the cave threaten to drown him. A brother offers $$7oO considerable money down in some parts of Kentucky - to any pbvsician who can amputate the mans leg and save his life. A false report was printed in the morning papers that the man had been res cued last night, but later reports thls morning still hold him a prisoner.
 Immediately this incident is lift ed above the commonplaces or tragedy. News of the remarkable collocatlon of circumstances is given nationwide publicity. Scarcely any thing like it has been heard of be- fore.
 If a man in Kentucky had been killed by an automobile nobody in Connecticut would discuss it over the supper table. But the astonish- ing plight of this unfortunate has been discussed at numberless sup per tabips.
