SANTIAGO ROCKED
BY QUAKE; I DEAD
Residences Collapse, Streets
Uttered With Debris in
Chilean Capital.
Bv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press,
SANTIAGO. Chile, April 14.-Sev'
eral persons lost their lives and nu-
merous persons were injured when
an earthquake shook the capital at
40 o'clock this morning. The news
paper La Nacion had reports of seven
deaths, while FL Mercurio had learned
of four deaths. Fifty-five were re-
ported injured.
Most of the casualties were in the
residential sections, where several
houses collapsed. In the business dis
trict the streets were Uttered with
bricks and debris.
Few i'm Streets.
Only few persons were in the
streets at the time of the shock. They
scurried to open spaces for refuge.
The population in general rushed
from houses in night attire or with
what few clothes they were able to
snatch in hurried flight. Within
few minutes all was chaos. Numerous
fire alarms were turned in and the
fire engines were kept busy rushing
to various parts of the city Tele'
phone and telegraph service was inter-
rupted with all points except Los
Andes and Conception, which re-
ported that while they felt the shock
no severe damage was caused.
Santiago's lighting system failed
soon after the quake. Service was
resumed within a few moments. Only
after an hour did the ma jority of the
scared populace return to their houses.
Felt 60 Miles Away.
q Workers in the offices of morning
newspapers and others on duty at the
time joined the general exodus from
the buildings. Large pieces of plas.
ter fell from the ceiling of the Ell
NIercurio plant, which is in the center
of the city. In the Plaza de Armas
and the principal thoroughfares cor
nices of buildings and large signs
crashed to the ground.
The quake was felt at Valparaiso,
about so miles northwest Of Santiago,
but only meager reports of damage
there have been received.

| BY the Associated Press.
The highest qualification was eX'
pressed here today by Washington
aviation officials over the feat of Bert
| Acosta and Clarence Chamberlin,
| American civilian aviators, in break
| ing the worlds airplane endurance
record.
Officials were particularly pleased,
they said because the achievement had
been made possible without Govern
ment aid. This fact, they said
showed the advancement of civilian
aviation.
I'm SIMPLY delighted" said Ed
ward P. Warner, Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, in charge of naval avia-
ton.
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett
of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics
Joined with his chief in complimenting
the two aviators, and in expressing
the hope that American manufactur-
ers would follow the example set by
these two civilian airmen.
Sees Bright Aviation Future.
This demonstrates t 1T aviation
civilian aviation, commercial aviation
is going over the top in the United
States" Admiral iMoffett said. This
victory was achieved without aid of
the Government aviation agencies.
The machine they used is OF Ameri-
can design, design intended for COM
mercial development This is what
we Lave all been waiting for and
hoping for"
Both the Secretary and the admiral
were particularly pleased that the air.
cooled engine used by the endurance
flyers was a design which the Navy
had helped to develop in its prelimi-
nary stages. Both have believed
that the motor would add materially
to the progress of the science Of
aviation.
"It is to be hoped that other COM
mercial companies engaged in avia-
ton production viii go after other
worlds records" Mr.. Warner said.
Manufacturers should demonstrate
their products, and there is no better
way to do it than by smashing worlds
records. Progress in the science of
aviation, in this way. would be tre-
mendously stimulated"
Praised by Dawson.
The fight was termed as perfectly
great" by Air Secretary Dawson Of
the War Department.
1T Is q tremendous satisfaction to
nave the world record DrouSht back
to this country. 1t is even more en-
couraging to know that the record
was recovered by civilian aviators
in civilian planes" he said.
Maj. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief
of the Army Air Corps. said the Air
Corps was greatly pleased ito know
that American pilots in American
built planes have shown that they
can bring the record back to
America"
Other Records Predicted.
The Acosta- -Chamberlin perform
ance is the forerunner of America s
capture of other flying records, in the
opinion OF Porter Adams, president of
the National Aeronautic Association.
THE Aeronautic Association is
proud Of the two flyers who have
brought back the record to America"
Mr.. Adams said ut is Indicative of
an increased public interest in, avi-
ation'
Mr.. Adams also declared that it was
a significant fact that civilians broke
the record. because this showed that
private aviation interests as we'll as
the military services are striving for
progress in flying"

P. c. KNOX IS HELD
ON LIQUOR CHARGES
Accused of Drunkenness and
PoSSesSi0n-ButIer Seized
With Him.

Philander Chase Knox, son Of the
former Secretary Of State and scion
of an old Pennsylvania family, was
locked up at the first precinct this
afternoon on charges Of drunkenness
and illegal possession of two pints Of
corn whisky.
With him was his butler, Henry
Alexander Barnes, colored, charged
also with being drunk. They were
being held in lieu of $25 collateral
apiece on the intoxication charges and
$500 on the charge of owning the
liquor. Knox'S automobile is parked
outside of the station house, seized by
the police.
Knox came under the eye of the po-
lice early this afternoon at the corner
of Twelfth street and New York ave-
nue.. Officers r. V. Sinclair and J. r.
LeFoe, chalking numbers on the tires
of parked automobiles, observed him
seated in his machine He was look
ing at them with a stern and forbid
ding gaze, they said.
A few minutes later, Sinclair said,
Knox approached him and in no un-
certain terms intimated that what he
was doing was what no gentlemanly
police officer would do. Numbers
ought not to be chalked on automobile
tires, Sinclair said Knox declared.
During the ensuing argument Sim
clair said he observed that Knox was
drunk. He phoned for the patrol.
When it arrived the argument had
shifted some distance up the street.
Knox was unwilling to get in the
patrol, Sinclair said, so he picked him
up and carried him on his shoulders.
Barnes, who had been taking a minor
part in the discussion, walked, said
Sinclair.
After he had arrested the men, Sin
clair said, he went back to get the
ca- and found therein the two pints.

DELAY IS OPPOSED
IN i. S. OIL TRIAL
Government Starts World
Wide Search for Witnesses
in FaII-SinCIair Case.

Harry f. Sinclair, oil magnate Of
New York, ard Albert E. Fall, former
Secretary of the Interior, through
their counsel, opposed today before
Justice IIitz in Criminal Division 2
the motion of Atlee Pomerene and
Owen j. Roberts, special Government
oil counsel, to postpone the trial or
the Teapot Dome conspiracy indlct-
ment. which is scheduled for April 70.
The Government attorneys made a
verbal motion for a continuance until
the Fan term of the court on the
ground that they had been unable to
serve summons on James F. ONeH
and Harry NJ. Blackmar, who are sup
posed to be in Europe and whose tes-
timony is needed for the prosecution
of the case.
Refers to Court Rule.
ATTORNEY George P. Hoover Of coun-
sci for Sinclair called the attention OF
the court to it's rule respecting re-
quests for continuance, which provides
that the motion be in writing and
verified by supporting affidavit set
ting forth what the witnesses would
testify, so that the court may decide
the materiality of such evidence and
the defense have an opportunity to
concede what the witness would say.
Maj. Peyton Gordon suggested to
the court that as United States at
torney he had never made the affidavit
called for by this rule and pointed out
that continuances are granted every
day at the request of the Government
in criminal cases. Justice Hitz ruled
that he was bound by the court rules
and unless counsel for defense con-
sented he could not entertain the
verbal motion.
VIII File Affidavit.
Counsel agreed to file the required
affidavit and to submit it to counsel
for the defense in time for them to
prepare a counter affidavit and be
ready to argue the merits Of the mo-
ton at o'clock this afternoon.
Government counsel disclosed today
that new subpoenas for Blackmar and
O'Neil have been sent to American
consuIs in practically every country
of Europe, and it is hoped by them that
service can be secured on the wit
nesses before the case can be tried.
