EARTHQUAKE TOLL
/. ESTIMATES VARY
Figures Range From g. to
More Than 1000 Dead
in Palestine.


LONDON. July 14.-Reports from
the Holy Land earthquake zone differ
widely as to the number of persons
killed and injured. The latest tend to
discount the large figures given in
some earlier dispatches from Cairo
of more than 1000 dead.
A Jerusalem report received by
Reuters gives the following official
figures: At Amman, 9 killed, 81 seri'
ously injured, at Es Salt, IS killed, 81
seriously injured and In the remainder
Of nsjordanla, 20 killed, 80 seriously
injured. This report says that previ-
GUS figures as to casualties at Els salt
were exaggerated. 0
The Haifa SYRIA correspondent of
the Daily Mail says that in Palestine
and Transjordania 500 persons were
killed and that in Jerusalem and the
surrounding districts more than 700
houses were damaged. The damage
in Jerusalem is estimated in this
dispatch at about 100000. Among
the places damaged are the Greek
convent and the patriarch's residence
on the Mount Of Olives.
Reports are Fragrentary.
News from the stricken area con-
tinues fragmentary and no reliable
story covering the whole disaster is
available. One person who visited rs
Salt returned to Jerusalem with the
report that the place was much dam.
aged and was completely deserted
Tuesday, the inhabitants having fled
to the surrounding mountains. The
quake was accompanied by terrlnc
noises at Es Salt, attributed to the
fact that the town is built on rock
foundation.

Held Federal Problem.

The second group holds that food
control in the Mississippi Nalley is p
Federal problem and that all funds
necessary to prevent a repetition of the
recent disastrous inundatiOn should
re provided, regardless Of the
navigability OF the river. Their plan
calls for the construction of storage
dams and reservoirs at the headwaterS
of all streams feeding the Mississippi
that will impounn the flood waters,
which can he released during the
periods of low water into the main
stream.
The third group wishes to have
irrigation and water power develop
ment connected with flood relief by
using the water impounded to frri-
gate arid farm lands and generate
hydro-el power. Some of the
agriculturists oppose this plan on the
ground that there already are too
many acres under cultivation and
that such wholesale irrigation would
increase the problem of the Western
farmers.
Another angle of flood relief that
will occupy attention is that of spill
ways. This matter now is being
studied by a committee of engineers
which will make it's report to the
river commission for inclusion in the
general recommendations of the Pres
ident.
Although it now is regarded as
very doubtful that President Coolidge
will call a special session of Con-
gress, the leaders are bending their
efforts toward getting the House and
Senate committees dealing with flood
relief jointly several weeks i'm ad-
vance of the opening of the regular
session in December.
Public Hearings Favored.
While the Army Engineers report
probably will not be ready then, con-
gressional leaders believe much time
could he saved by public hearings In
advance Of the beginning of the ses-
sion.
Before the broad flood relief meas
ure- is submitted, pressure will be
brought for an emergency appropria-
ion Immediately after Congress
opens to provide for the rehabilita-
ton of the flood sufferers, reconstruct
ton of broken .levee lines and re-
pairing national highways damaged
or destroyed by the flood.

Los Angeles club of the Pacifi,
league, was fined $3.50 today by
President Harry Williams for as
saulting Umpire Nal Eason in yes

The fine was in addition to i'm =
mediate suspension which Williams
ordered yesterday when news of the

as brutal as unofficial reports indi-
Gated, he would impose the limit
penalty, which is suspension for the
entire season.
"Eason telcphoncd me that Bra
zill sluggcd him twice and then
when he was down, kicked him in
the head, cutting his ear Williams
said. Eason is 81 and BRAZIL is
a big strapping ball player.
The assault, the league president
