 Drum-N. Y. Report

Juneau. this morning, exper- fenced one of the severest earth- quakes in her history. That the quake was generally felt else where is indicated in Associated Press dispatches received by the Daily Empire from Seattle and also New York.
 The Seattle dispatch said "both needles of the University of Washington seismograph were thrown of the recording drum at 8 o'clock this morning, indicating the shock was of great inten- sity.''
 The New York dispatch stated that "an earthquake, about 2.3O0 miles away. described as the larg- est in years. was recorded on the seismogrnph at Fordham Univer- sity and the University officials said the tremblors were tremend- Ous."
 Four Shakes in Juneau Juneau was given q rare shake, in fact one pronounced earth shock. two jerks and just a lit- tie tremor.
 Residents tumbled out of bed. because the movement was of such a pronounced kind that dignified arising was out of the question.
 Many residents. those formerly living in California, made immed- lately for the front or rear doors and others donned bathrobes dnd rushed out of doors, taking no chances, at all. Others just got out of bed, quickly. Clocks stopped. drop lights swung, dishes rattled and doors either slammed shut or just op- ened and swung.
 At 2 O'Clock
 official time of the first shock ranges from o'clock this morn ing to seven seconds after o'clock. The clock in Juneau's official time headquarters. the United States Cable Office. stop ped at exactly seven seconds after o'clock.
 The first shock lasted from 90 to 35 secands, being north and south with particular violent waves of each movement. About one minute after the first shock. two jerks were felt and then there was one slight wave motion--and 1t was all over but the telling about it.
 One man said he believed Ju- neau felt the end of a good shake and another spoke up and said: End, man we were right at the head"
 When practically everybody in Juneau seems to have been awak- ened. the movements severity can be realized.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct 24-A costly mansion set deep in the lawns and groves of suburban estate is the only physical mon ument to the fortune George Re- mus reaped from his deals in contraband liquor.
 Only half dozen years ago he bought 1t, after he had married Imogene Holmes in Chicago in 1920 and had left his law prac- tice there to come to Cincinnati and pyramid into millions in the bootlegging business the $1O,O00 nest egg with which he started
 The old homestead on Price Hill, dating from Civil war days. was virtually rebuilt by Remua in order that he might endow with a setting of splendor the wife upon whom he lavished his wealth and devotion.
 Some three years ago Remus went away from the mansion to serve term in federal prison for violation of the prohibition law. and when he emerged he served another in an Ohio jail on a similar conviction. His wife fol. lowed him to Atlanta to live near him during his prison term -and then. shortly before his re- lease. charged him with cruelty and sued for divorce. Remus countered with the allegation that she sought freedom to wed Frank lin l.. Dodge, jr., then prohibit tion agent active in gathering the evidence which sent Renus to prison.
 Again In Cell
 Now Beautiful Imogene" Is dead, and her husband. stripped of most of his fortune, is again in jail cell--this time as the ad- mitted slayer of his wife. He waited for her in Cincinnati park october 6. and shot her as she jOurneyed to divorce court 10 obtain her final separation.
 Prosecution of Remus in his murder trial will devolve upon William P. Taft II, youngest son of William Howard Taft. who be- came Hamilton county attorney last January after graduation from law course at Yale.
 Two girls will be arraigned on either side of the case Romola Remus. g. daughter of George Remus by . former marriage, who has sided with her father, and RutB Remus, 90, adopted daughter of the Remuses and a companion of her foster mother the morn ing of the sIaying, who will testi- fy for the state.

CARROLL TELLS OF HORRORS OF
 LIFE IN PRISON
New York Producer of Plays Impressed with
 Forgotten Men

NEW YORK Oct. 24. The New York American today print ed copyrighted article by Earl Carroll in which he painted a picture of prison life as "a trag- edy that struck terror to my mind. In a long corridor each day marches this silent army O. forgotten men. The constant pas sage of so many leaden feet has worn two groves in the pave ment. That IS the road the men tread who have sinned against society. Certainly. there is need for protection to society. and the answer is the prison. As the pro- ducer of playsA a man with a sense of the dramatic, I coul.l not help sense the immense drama of the prison. with its ever-trudging. ever-leaden, ever grim stark souls of an army of forgotten men. Can you wonder why few poor creatures, misled, misguided or puppets of fate, stagger back to freedom that is blinding. just as 1t blinds me, and where you can have the solace of loving hands or under standing hearts?"
 Carroll was recently parOled from Atlanta Prison where he had. been serving sentence for perjury in connection with the famous bath tub party.
