AID is RUSHED
TO CITY RAzED
BY EARTHQUAKE
Venezuelan Town of $4,000
LeveIed by Shock; 200
Are Reported Dead.

BIZ LIiteU f'fESS
CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 49,
Government and Red Cross aid was
dispatched today to Cumana, where
200 we've reported killed, 1000 in
jured, and thousands made home
less in an earthquake Thursday.
General Jose Garbi, governor of
the state Of Sucre, of which Cumana
is the capital, asked the govern
ment to furnish relief.
The entire city, the home of APP
proximately 10000 people, was lev
eled by the shocks, which lasted ten
minutes.
The first shock was light, and en-
abled people to flee into the streets,
but series of successive quakes fol-
lowed which shook down their
homes.
Towns in the vicinity also were
dispatching aid, while the govern
ment had offered free use of all
transportation and Geographic IA
cilities for relatives to communicate
with the victims.
The steamer Jose FeliZ Rivas left
Friday night carrying supplies and
relief equipment. The steamer
Guarico had left earlier on the or
der of President Juan v. Gomez, who
personally took charge of organizing
relief.
Damage to the city, founded 400
years ago, was estimated at $1o,-
10000.
The earthquake Thursday was the
second in its history. 1t was de-
stroyed first in 1853 when struck by
a quake.

Large Photo of Corona to
Be Made by |. U. Man
in Philippines.

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. 10
Obtaining of large scale photo
graphs of the corona of the sun at
the time of the total eclipse on May
8 will . be the main object of the
United States Naval Observatory
eclipse expedition on which, Pro-
lessor w. A. Cogshall, Head of the
Indiana university department of
astronomy, will sail next week. He
left Bloomington for San Francisco
Friday. He will sail from there on
the naval transport, Chaumont.
A specially constructed camera,
sixty feet long, will be set up by
Professor Cogshall's party on one OF
the southern islands of the Philip
pine group about 700 miles south of
Manila, in the neighborhood of
Iloilo City,
Eclipse to Last Minutes
At this point the eclipse will last
approximately three and a half
minutes, a comparatively long dur
alton, according to Professor Cog
shall.
Prof John A. Miller, head of the
astronomy department Of Swarth-
more college, and former Indiana
university faculty member, will
photograph the corona of the sun in
Sumatra at the same time. The
duration of the eclipse there will be
approximately five minutes and will
occur two hours later than at the
location selected by Prof. Cogshall
and his party.
The two hours lapsing IN time be-
tween the taking of the two sets of
photographs will disclose the changes
in the corona which will be evident
if the corona proves to be rotating
substance.
Problem Is Not New
This problem is not new to the
corona experts who viii endeayor
to do this work in May. Prof. Cog
shall's first trip of this kind was in
1905 wh0n he went to central Spain
In 1918, Prof. Miller headed an
eclipse expedition, which made val
liable observations at Brendon, Col.
Prof. Cogshall also was a member of
1918 expedition.
Prof. Cogshall and Prof. Miller
both were members Of the expedi-
ton in 1923 to Mexico for the same
purpose.

TALK FAC TAX
TO AID SCHOOLS
Propose Act to Wipe Out
State Deficit.

Cancel the state school aid deficit
of nearly 100000 by levying a
2-cent cigaret tax and appoint a
survey committee to study scientific
administration of state aid funds.
This is the recommendation ap-
proved by the state educational
committee for presentation to the
legislature.
The general committee, composed
of all agencies interested in educa-
ton and members of the state edu-
cation board, met today in the Office
of Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent
Of public instruction. They re-
ceived and approved report of a
special committee on state aid
which met Tuesday.
Point Out Moral
This report points out that there
is moral" rather than "legaP' OBJ
legation to meet the state aid deficit
of 1886, 1885. If it isn't done, many
schools will close, it is asserted.
The cigaret tax levy is then pro-
posed, with an alternative of TAX
ing go rather than the present 30
per cent of the 7-cent school tax for
state aid. This latter proposal was
turned down by the general COM
nittee and the cigaret sales tax
approved.
May Keep Levy
It would be retained after the
deficit is met and added to the 80
per cent of the 7-cent levy to pre-
vent 1ecurrent losses under the plan
approved today.
The legislative recommendations
estimate $4,000 as adequate for adj
'ministration of funds, but asks
$4,000 to finance field men to check
school corporations state aid de-
nlands. 1t asks for a committee ap-
pointed by the Governor and prop
erly financed to make a thorough
study of state aid problems and to
report to the legislature IN 1881.

the measure to be presented by
Senator c. Oliver Holmes of Gary

It,,sted Press staff CorreSpondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-In Sc
crecy, more unusual even than OF
war times, the senate will meet again
today to resume its controversy
over the nomination of Roy o. West
as secretary of the interior.
The naval cruiser bill, the chal-
lenge of Secretary Of Treasury An
drew J. Melons authority over pro-
hibition and all other matters were
thrust into the background while
the West matter is fought out. A
vote of confirmation is expected
before night if the opposition viii
permit the vote to be taken.
In the first two and a half hours
of debate late Friday the opposition
was blocked at every time.
Open Session Plea Fails
First they demanded the nomina-
ton be considered in open session,
They were defeated overwhelmingly
Next they sought to have the roll
call on the first vote made public,
and lost again.
Aroused by these two rebukes they
attempted to force reconsideration
ef the earlier votes, but were I'M
successful even in that plea.
The votes emphasized the major
ity which West now controls and
which will bring about his confir-
nation unless the opposition is able
to change the situation unexpect-
edly.
Usually senator stroll out of the
swinging doors and tell confiden-
TALLY to their friends at least the
general facts which occur in execu-
tive session.
However. warnings have been
given senators that if they do not
keep silent concerning the pending
executive business they may be sub
jected to the archais rule which per-
mits expulsion of a senator reveal
ing executive business.
Insist on Secrecy
The rule was adopted to prevent
military secrets and the like from
being made public, but only one
previous feeble attempt mas Deen
made to enforce it in the last fifteen
years.
Those handling Vests fight are
insisting on the secrecy application
and other extraordinary methods OF
parliamentary procedure in order
to bring a vote at the earliest posi-
BILE moment and to prevent the
opposition from stirring up any out
side interests which might jeopar-
die the majority West now has for
confirmation,
The investigation Of West by the
public lands committee was opened
at Vests request and the vote OF
nine to four, by which his nomina-
ton was favorably reported also
was made public.
All other pending business in con-
gress has gone over until next week

SCHOOL BONDING POWER
TO DROP TO $4,000
New Issue viii Cut Limit, Walsman
Announces.

Bonding power of the school city
will be reduced to $4,000 when
bonds at present advertised are
authorized, Albert F. Walsnlan,
school business director, announced
today.
This amount probably will not be
encroached on by other bond is
sues. but will remain as a reserve
for temporary loans and other con-
tingencies, he said.
In fifty-two subitems of the school
budget for the last six months Of
1928. Walsman said, overdrafts oc-
Cured. A special six months budget
was made by the schools last year
in order to change from the fiscal
to the calendar year.
Had the apparent overdrafts oc-
Cured in a school year Of twelve
months, they would have been
merged into expenditures of the
whole and no overdraft would have
appeared, he explained.

period Of days each year as special
assistants and the assistant does
nothing but draw his or her pay

COURTHOUSE WATER
CAUSES HOT DEBATE
Drinking SUPPLY Basis for Heated
Argument by Commissioners.

County commissioners argued
heatedly as to whose water, what
kind of water and how cold the
water should be to Stake thirsty
Threats in the Marion county court
house.
Commissioner George Snider be-
lieves that the water being used by
the rest of the citizens of Indian
apolis is good enough. provided it is
piped through special cooling tanks
at each outlet. Commissioner John
Serer disagrees with this and favors
the present system of special water
in bottles. Hahns Claupsen, city
maintenance superintendent, gave
the original suggestion that the
water in the private well at the
county Jail fills the need.
Another suggestion in the many
sided debate was to pipe in city
water and cool it in a centrally To-
Gated electric refrigerator.

Angle Irons And Netting Of
Wire Catch Debris And
Build Barrier

The Kellner Jetties recently in
stalled by Cameron County Water
Improvement District No. 6 near
Villanueva to prevent cutting off Of
an ox-bow are regarded as a success
by district officials. The jetties
were inspected last week following
the high rise in the river and It was
found that the bank is being built
up with silt and debris.
The new style %jetties, composed OF
angle irons and wire netting placed
on the banks, have been watched BY
other water districts with similar
problems.
When the river rises. the iron and
wire catch debris and slow down the
current. AS the current slows down
silt settles over the debris and
builds up the banks.
The last rise in the Rio Grande
built ' the banks from one to two
feet with silt.
The pumping plant OF Dist. No. 6
is located on a large ox-bow. The
river was rapidly cutting through
the neck OF the ox-bow and threat
ened to leave the pumping plant
off the main stream. The jetties
we're installed on the Mexican side
OF the river in the ox-bow neck and
the cutting has been eliminated,
