SEVERAL FREAK EVENTS
One Guest, Stranded in Wreckagc, Yelps For Taxicab-Telegraph Companies Keep Big Force at wort--City Is Not Isolated
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Los Angeles, June 3o.--A graphic account of the terror that overlook occupants of buildings in the down. town district of Santa Barbara in the earthquake zone has brought here today by W. R. Scott, Los An geles, who had narrow escape from death in the California Hotel.
 Walls of Room Shook.
 Awakened by the first shock, he said, he saw the walls of his room shaking.
 "They swayed sickeningly'" he continued. T leaped out of bed and raced downstairs, clad only in my pajamas. In the lobby I overlook a man struggling toward the door with a small child. As they reached it the building gave way. Debris and wreckage piled upon them. l dived through a window into the street.
 Yelling For a Taxi.
 When looked back the hotel was a gaunt ruin, its outer wall fall- en into the street. And standing on a heap of wreckage on the third floor, I saw a fat man screaming at the top of his voice for taXicab.
 Later I found most of the guests hudled in scanty attire in a vacant lot nearby. They had fled the building as soon as the shocks be- gan"
 I1ee In Pajamas.
 Still pajama clad, Scott met au automobllist bound for Hollywood. The man invited him to come along, and together they fled the city with out additional garments.
 City Not Isolated.
 N. R. Powley, vice president and general manager of the Southern California Telephone Company with headquarters at Los Angeles, who surveyed the communication systems of Santa Barbara late last night and early today, declared that the city was not Isolated in any way. but was in direct contact with the outside world north, south, east and west.
 The local telephone system IS paralyzed temporarily, but the com pany Is ready, either to reopen today in it's old quarters if the building inspector passes its premises, or Set up emergency switchboards and opor ate from temporary headquarters
 Powley pointed out that all the known facts of the earthquake and subsequent developments were being relayed faithfully to the outside by press wires and that friends and rela tives of Santa Barbara residents scat tered over the country high rest as sured the whole story of the disas- ter was being told.
 FreakiSh Happenings.
 Telegraph companies held large extra forces in service at San Fran cisco and Los Angeles last night 10 move thousands Of messages which flooded in from eastern points 10 the Santa Barbara earthquake region. The messages were principally in auiries regarding the safety Of friends and relatives.

DEATH AT
THE WHEEL

RI JAMES HISLE, Marion Gnd)
| business man. suffered a
0 fatal heart attack the other
day, while driving alone in his
automobile along a country road.
The uncontrolled machine plunged
off a hill and was wrecked.
An Indianapolis banker was
similarly stricken short time
ago while driving his car on a
city street. Fortunately, it was
not during a rush hour.
What would have happened il
either of these fatal attacks had
occurred in crowded thorough

automobile with death at the
wheel could cause untold havoc.
The increasing use of motor

and increasing strain of modern

soon give automobile designers

a Decision and Apology

n EDERAL Judge Kennedy's unqualified
- approval Of the Teapot Dome lease
came as shock to great part of the public.
Only three weeks earlier, Federal Judge Nc
Cormick's decision in the case of the Doheny
leases had vindicated the public s belief that
the Fall-Sinclair-D oheny transaction was not
only illegal, but essentially dishonest.
Now the cases are back where they were
One Federal judge has found the California
oil leases very bad. Another has found the
Wyoming leases good. 1t means that higher
courts, and eventually the Supreme Court, will
be called upon to make the final decision.
Though they grew out of the same inves-
tigation, the Doheny and Sinclair cases were
not precisely alike. In the one case there was
the evidence of delivery of money to Fall
while the negotiations were in progress In the
other this was not proved in court, though gov
eminent lawyers attempted to introduce evil
dence of it.
But there was still greater difference in
the two trials. In Los Angeles Judge Nc
Cormick had the advantage of hearing all the
important witnesses. Then he gave his verdict
In Cheyenne, in the Teapot Dome case. four of
the most important witnesses could not be pro
duced by the Government. Two were in
France, another in Africa and another in Mex
leo and points south. Two came back after
the trial; two are still absent Maybe these
witnesses will have occasion to be heard before
the oil cases pass into history. Their evidence
might change the verdict.
There is another marked difference be.
tween the two verdicts, viz. Judge McCor-
mick offered his without apology, while in
Judge Kennedy's there appears the following
strange paragraph:
-" In reaching conclusion in this case we
fully realize the degree of unpopularity with
which it will be received. This is trpe in the
nature of things, because the great general
public is reached only with the sentimental fea-
lures surrounding the transactions involved
and being largely in the dark as to all the
other multitudes of circumstances with which
the case is surrounded, and knowing perhans
less OF the great legal principles which the ex-
perlence of the ages has taught mankind must
control in dealing with the rights of persons
and property"
The sentimental features" to which the
judge refers no doubt include the Little Black
bag to say nothing of "Apples, and
"Peaches" and other fruity aspects of the deal
that delivered the Nays oil into private
hands, under cover of the dark

it with one even more powerful.
Mrs. Wharton Is that sort OF a
writer.
Powerful Theme
To me the theme is powerful in its
unfolding of how a mother fought
to obtain happiness for her own
daughter. But Kate, the mother asks
herself this questlon--"was she lust
plain jealous of her own daughter.
Did she want the same man that her
daughter did?
Personally. I think that Kate
while she was weak and selfish was
jealous of her own daughter, but
disguised her motives with the
medicine Of trying TO be protecting
mother.
Kate couldn't bear to see the flame
Of passion or love exist between her
own daughter and the very man that
the mother once had an experiment
with in passion.
But Kate became strong and con.
quered her weakness.
Here is an interesting theme. 1t
Is an adult story for adults Has
every reason to be a best seller and
among the best liked Of Edith Whar-
tons books.

SLOW DOWN
THE BUSES

BECAUSE its schedule re-
X quired violation of the
IL speed law. the Intercity
Safety Coach Company of Koko-
mo, was denied a permit to oper-
ate a bus line between Indianapo-
lis and Peru by the public service
commission Saturday.
The commission held that the
busees had not operated law
fully for a period of ninety days
prior to the bus regulation law and
the line. therefore, was not en-
titled to a certificate under tn
ninety day clause.
The ruling should have a salu-
tary tendency to slow down the
buses. To maintain schedules be-
tween Indianapolis and Kokomo,
the buses frequently made forty
or fortyfive miles an hour on open
highways. Other lines also habitu-
ally disregard the speed limit, it
is charged.
1t is easy for buses to speed.
Lighter vehicles give them plenty
of elbow room on the roads. Shiv-
ering fiivvers have learned that 1t
is Improbable to contest the
right of way with them. After a
ponderous bus has bounced on a
f1ivver the latter becomes a chron-
ic invalid--if nothing worse.
But, despite their arrogance and
the attitude of other traffic toward
them, buses don't own the roads.
They have no more rights than
other traffic and the same defer
ence to the speed law should be
exacted from them as from pri-
vate vehicles.
Thirty miles an hour, the legal
limit, is no snail's pace. At that
velocity buses can negotiate the
distance between any two ternini
in the State in a few hours.
1t is better to slow them down
to that limit now than to let them
speed unrestrained until a fatal
crash involving an impetuous bus
brings a spasm of law enforce
ment. Passengers spewed in a
bloody heap on the highway fur
nish interesting news. but it's
hard on the passengers.

Why do birds of the wild duck
family adopt a v shaped formation
in flight?
The old-fashioned explanation.
that by advancing in a wedge the
front bird acted as kind of pioneer.
to break the force of the wind, is
probably the exact reverse of the
truth. Wind in moderation, is al
most a necessity to the sustained
flight of birds, and the probable OBJ
ject of wedge-formation when ad-
vancing against the wind is, that
each bird avoids the wake" of its
neighbor, while at the same time the
flock has a leader. When the wind
blows on the side of the V, 1t has
been noticed that one limb is gen.
or that the birds forming one limb
occupy positions which coincide with
the spaces between the birds on the
windward side and are thus exposed
to the wind current. But often

formation is abandoned altogether,
and the ducks fly in single file,
though the distances are always ac-
curately kept.
