ed by Loss of Temporary
Shelter for Refugees.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, March 11.-Central japan,
recovering slowly from the havoc
wrought by Mondays earthquake,
was swept today by a terrific gale.
The storm brought renewed hardships
in the Tango district, blowing down
many of the hastily erected refugee
shelters after the troops had expert
enced considerable difficulty putting
them up.
AS relief by sea had been hindered
by rough weather, it was feared the
gale would further delay help for
refugees in the villages along the
coast which suffered most in the
quake. #

Office. which are not looked upon as
final, gave the number of dead
through the quake as 2 2.6S7. with 6,443
injured. The home office estimated
that 1000 buildings We're destroyed.
Relief measures went on steadily
despite serious handicaps, the authori-
ties giving particular attention to
those in need Of medical care. Their
next thought was for the thousands
and snow through the collapse of their
homes Strenuous efforts were made
to prevent an epidemic and to provide
food and clothing.
Relief Work Is Rushed.
Immediately after the catastrophe
the relief expeditions were hampered
by impossible roads and flooded areas.
Prior to the gale, however, many of
the roads had been repaired, streams
had subsided and~warmer weather had
set in, and reports from inland places
indicated that hopeful progress was
being made in the work of relief
The government. announcing that
no outside help was necessary, mar
shalled all it's forces, the heads of the
various departments working long and
hard in an effort to ameliorate the
plight of the sufferers. The govern
ment ordered large quantity of rice
to be shipped from the government
warehouse at Osaka.

SHIP SINKS IN FOG
AFTER COLLISION
One Lost as Freighter Goes
Down in Midchannel in New
York Harbor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The light
that Liberty sheds upon the world
was not bright enough today to dispel
fog that shrouded New York Bay,
and two freighters collided head-on
under the harbor'S famous statue, one
Of them sinking and becoming a men,
ace to navigation in the channel. one
of the busiest shipping lanes in all
the world
Only one man was lost-John
Brown, a ships carpenter on the
Southern Pacific freighter Ell Sol, the
ship that sank. All other members
of the crew of "A were saved. The
other craft in tine collision. the Amer.
ican Diamond Line freighter Sac City,
was badly damaged, but did not sink
and none of the crew was injured.
The two freighters were nosing
through e heavy fog off Staten Island
and about half mile from the Statue
of Liberty when they struck. Visi-
bility was almost entirely destroyed
by the low-hanging banks of fog, and
apparently even the sound of the
sirens could not be heard until 1T was
too late.
Other Ship Keeps Afioat.
The collision tore great hole in
the bow of the Sac City. but 1t was
able TO keep afloat and anchored OF
Greenville, Staten Island. Ell Sol, how
ever, craft Of more than 5000 net
tonnage, was more seriously damaged
and sank almost before the crew could
take to the water.
The channel at the point, which is
directly in the main lane for ocean
liners, is about 60 feet deep and only
the tips of Ell Soils spars showed after
she sank. The position is about half
way between Bedloe's Island. on
which the Statue of Liberty is situat-
ed, and Governors Island, the Army
headquarters for the Second Corps
Area.
When the first report OF the accident
was received, all efforts We're turned
to the rescue OF life. Police boats.
fire boats. a revenue cutter and all
nearby small craft showed through
the fog to the scene as speedily as
they dared.
Tug Takes Crew Aboard.
The Morgan Line tug El Amigo was
the first on the scene and took aboard
Tl sols crew. A check-up after it
reached shore showed that the car
penter, Brown. was the only man not
accounted for.
After the rescue of the crew was
accomplished. attention was turned TO
the sunken freiGhter to see how seri-
Gus a menace to navigation it was.
The channel at this point is some
thing like the neck of O bottle and it
was feared that Ell Sol, in sinking
had assumed the position of a cork in
the bottle.
A Coast Guard survey was begun
to determine the exact situation and
plans also were begun for clearing
the channel as soon as possible. Ship
ping men said that If it was found
the Ell Sol had sunk in the exact
middle of the channel ocean liners
would be unable either to enter or
leave the harbor until it was removed.
The Cunard liner Berengaria and the
Lloyd Sauboda liner, Conte Biannca-
mano. are scheduled to sail late to-
night.
Used as an animal transport during
the World War, the El Sol made many
trips across the Atlantic with cargoes
of horses and merchandise.

JANE ADDAMS SCORES
RELIGION IN POLITICS
Adds Voice to Nellie Ross Plea.
Thinks Smith Discussion
Is Beneficial.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 26.--Miss Jane
Adams of Hull House has added her
voice to that of Mrs. Nellie Tayloe
Ross, former governor of Wyoming,
that the question of religion in poll
tics should be brought into the open.
Miss Adams, speaking before 500
special workers last night, referred to
the candidacy of Gov. Al Smith OF
New 1ol!1 for the presidency as "a
great boon for the country" So far,
she said, the so-called tolerance of
the electorate has been only an avoid
ance of the issue.
Mrs. Ross, speaking yesterday at
Washington, advocated the election of
a Catholic ''just to prove that this is
in reality a republic in which we live
and not one only in name"
Miss Adams said she was hopeful
that the discussion of Gov. Smith as
a presidential candidate would bring
a better understanding of religion and
realization that it had no place in
politics.

Involved i'm Mexico.
"These principles are involved In
some Of the difficulties that we have
recently been trying to work out with
foreign nations, especially with Mexico.
We have had claims against that coun.
try running over long series OF
years. growing out of the death of
many of our citizens and the loss OF
their property, running into hundreds
of millions Of dollars. A very con-
siderable portion Of these cases has
been due to revolutionary activities
and other forms of public violence.
Public order has never been entirely
complete in that country. But lately
our difficulties have been increased
by the enactment of laws by the gov
ernment itself, which we feel threaten
the virtual confiscation of the prop
erty of our citizens, even where their
holdings are under titles which have
been established for scores of years.
''In 1857 Mexico adopted constitu-
ton. In it's relation to the protection
of acquired property it provided ample
security. Under it's terms many of
our people acquired holdings both
through individual and corporate own

years of President Diaz we were es-
pecially encouraged to make invest
