lions of Damages Done

The city of Santa Barbara, Calf.
Monday the victim of one of the most
disastrous earthquakes in Pacific
Coast history. Tuesday closed the
biggest business day in its civic an
mails with the formulation of a pro
gram of reconstruction that fore
Swallowed a great rejuvenated COM
munity.
The rise of the sun was the signal
for the stirring of a city spirit that,
in its optimism swept aside the pic
ture of ruin in the business district
and left in its place vision of ire
mendous construction.
The official death list issued took
account only of bodies recovered
from the ruins and totaled 10.
Looters piled their nefarious trade
amid the earthquake ruins during
the night. Numerous reports of
their depredations came from Off
GERS, national guardsmen and naval
reserVlsts who threw a network of
patrols over the business district dur
ing the dark hours. Guadalupe Cath
Ollie Church was said to have been
one of the principal sufferers. Here
the police report said, the altar yes
sells of gold and silver were stolen.
Two thieves were surprised in the
ruins of the Arlington Hotel. but
they managed to evade arrest.
Three new earthquakes-on the
most severe since the tremblor which
shattered the city Monday-were
felt between midnight Tuesday and
daybreak. No new damage was re-
ported in the overnight disturbances
but workmen digging in the ruins fol
possible unreeoyered bodies were
struck by falling bricks.

BIG ENGINES,
BIG TRAINS
III arrisOnburg Branch Now Using Up
to Minute Equipment

With the last span of the new
heavy steel bridge over Pughs Run,
between Woodstock and Maurertown,
laid few days ago, the Southern
Railway Tuesday began operating
larger locomotives over it's Harrison
MISREPRESENTATION division.
The completion of the new steel
bridges, which will carry the heavy
trains, was signalled by sending
from Strasburg to Harrisonburg
Tuesday of train carrying 1850
tons of freight. Before these bridges
were made stronger, freight trains
were held to 1000 tons.
Tuesday night the passenger train
doomed into Woodstock, drawn by
locomotive No. 81. The train was
in charge of Conductor James Fisher.
and the engine under the direction
of Engineer C. NJ Amos and Fire
man R. F. Fahnestoek.. The Amos
Fahnestock engine crew, it was
learned, have established a new rec
ord for fuel saving on the Southern
Railroad. They have obtained so
pounds of heat units from the firebox
OF their engine more than is obtain
ed from the big moguls on the South
ern main line. The achievement
caught the eye of the Southern Off
cials and they sent an inspector from
Atlanta to study the Amos Fahne-
stock system of fuel saving.
The big freight train came in un-
der Conductor L. L. Munday and En-
gineer ID. W. Hupp.
The new steel bridges will. enable
the Southern to handle trains over
the Harrisonburg washington diyi-
sion as heavy as the big main line
trains.

ROCKINGHAM JUDGE
SCORES LIGHT VERDICT
Jury His Opinion of Light Verdict
In Shooting Case

Found guilty only of the minol
offense of assault and battery. john
w. McCary, Harrisonburg grocery
man, was given the minimum punish
ment of five dollars fine by a jury il
circuit court in Harrisonburg Thurs
day, for the shooting in the leg OF
DR.. A. W. Miller whom, McCary said
had caused domestic troubles in his
family. DR.. Miller did not press the
charge and admitted on the stand
that he was in the wrong place"
Upon the return of the lightest
verdict that could be given, Judge
T. N. Haas scored the jurors for
their leniency He said that, in the
face of the evidence, he could hardly
understand how the charges of
felonious assault or unlawful assault
We're set aside and the accused con
victed of assault and battery, lesser
offense. The court added that even
the assault and battery conviction
should have carried heavier punish
ment
Judge Haas said he did not want
the cerdict to set a precedent in
Rockingham County, that it was all
right for a citizen TO go out and take
the law into his own hands by shoot
ing another. The fact that McCary
shot Dr. Miller, he added, was a Sc
we're offense, regardless of the de-
Tense plea of "unwritten law" Judge
Haas said there was no such thing
and that no civilized government
could ever exist with such a princi-
pie as this being upheld There is
no provocation for man taking the
law in his own hands, the court
went on to assert in his address TO
the jurors, which lasted more than
Is minutes
1t will be remembered that Nc
Crory, a reputable and responsible
business man deliberately shot DR.
Miller. in his sober senses and with
out, as it seems, any provocation
Certainly there was no animus in the
jury's findings.

FUNDS PROVIDED
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
Supervisors Make Appropriations
Big Mass Meeting of Interested
Citizens

Probably no Board of Supervisor,
has ever faced an audience of if,
fellow citizens equal to the on,
which packed and jammed the Cour
House on Friday afternoon when tn.
question of improving school condi
lions at several places in the count,
was up for consideration.
The meeting of the Board was the
capstone to the arch of public senti.
ment which has been fostered 70,
/ several weeks previous, when citizens
interested in adequate school facili-
ties had gathered locally and laid the
plans for action together with a
logical solution of the matter for pre-
sentation to the Board.
The deterrent to the movement
was the lack of finances, and at one
time it seemed as if this would be
the insurmountable obstacle to the
aims of the Jealous workers for bet
ter schools.
However, the preliminary work
was so well done that it took little
of the persuasive oratory of the rep
resentative men and women present
TO persuade all but one member of
the Board that conditions at Wood
stock. Mt. Jackson, Mt. Clifton, For
estyille and Strasburg were in such
shape that only prompt action of the
Board would give these localities adj
equate school facilities for the com
ing session.
Delegate Nehemiah Kelley in con-
vincing and unmistakable language
told of the existent needs for school
purposes and advocated prompt mea-
sures of relief, and others who have
been unselfshly interested in the
movement followed Mr.. Kelley in
pithy and pointed addresses during
the meeting.
Among these were Mr.. George w.
Ring, of Madison District, which dis
trict, incidentally, was not included
in the budget applied for, because no
application had been made for ad-
ditional funds; Frank S. Tayenner,
Jr.. who has to a large extent borne
the brunt of the local fight for i'm
proved school conditions; Philip Will
liams and Mrs. Frank B. Riddleber-
ger.
The appropriation made by the
Board, amounting to S6SOS25, will
be available January 1, 1926 and May
/, and is distributed as follows:
Lee District: $3.50 for desks and
assistant teacher in high school at
Ashby District: S2625, for High
School at Mt. Clifton and desks and
equipment at Mt. Jackson and Mt.
Clifton.
Woodstock: $3.50, for assistant
in High School and rental.
Davis: $3.50. for assistant in
High School, grades and rental

graphed by Hugh Morrison.

SENATOR'S CHANCES FOR. oENNANT
NOW LOOK AS GOOD AS PIRATES IN
NATIONAL LEAGUE. OPINES FARRELL
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.---Wash-
lngton now looks almost as much of
certain pennant winner in the
American league as the Pittsburgh
Pirates seem sure champions in the
National league.
The Pi,fafesf are leading the New
York Giants by eight games in
the National league and the cham
pion Senators ran up their lead to
41s games when yesterday they
overwhelmed the young Philadelphia
Athletics in the first game of the
series that may decide the pennant.
The Senators can't lose as much
ground as the Pirates, of course, but
i'll the first game of this crucial |
series the worlds champions look
ed at least three games better than
the Athletics from scratch.
IT is not safe to hazard guess
on the form in one game but there
was enough superiority shown by
the Senators to make it safe to
plunge II prediction that they are
about i'll with the pennant.
The Athletics looked SO bad. not
so much because they could not hit
that old master, Walter johnson.
but because they were uncertain in
the field they couldn t handle the
ball III tight place and they didn t
know what to do with it when they
did handle it. Their work had all
the symptoms of a young team that
has gone to pieces and their de-
fcnse had none of that sparkling
execution that is so characteristic
of Bucky Harris veterans.
