By JOHN R. MORRIS itctd Press Staff COrrCspOndcnt


 Mexico City, Jan. 16-UP)-An extensive loss of life in the State of Oaxaca from an earthquake that was felt here late Wednesday was feared today as communications were gradually restored with the district worst damaged by the earth move- ments.
 Twenty persons, were known dead, including two victims here.
 The correspondent of the newspa- per La Prensa at Oaxaca reported that the city of 30.000 faced the danger of epidemic as medical sup plies neared exhaustion. Relief was expected to arrive from Mexico City today.
 The newspaper Universal reported that Oaxaca presented a pathetlc picture of ruin. No building in the city escaped damage, the newspaper said, and many were destroyed. The streets were strewn with debris.
 Fl Universal reported ten persons dead at Oaxaca, with eight bodies brought there from surrounding vil- lages.
 A dispatch to La Prensa said that approximately 50 persons were kill ed and 100 injured when a church was destroyed at Guelatoba, near Oaxaca. The report was not con- frmed by official sources. Noises Paniagua, Spanish chem ist died at Juarez hospital here last night from injuries received in the earthquake. One other victim, child, died Wednesday night.

CLARA BOW CASE LOST INTEREST IN
 TRIAL THURSDAY
BY RONALD w. WAGONER. United preSS Staff COrrcSDOndCnt)

Los Angeles. Jan 16.-UP)- George l.. Armstrong, middle-aged auditor from District Attorney Bu- ron Fitts, who called to the witness stand again to-day in the trial of Daisy Devoe, ex-secretray of Clara Bow. on charges of grand larceny. Miss Bow herself was absent, as were all her adherents with the ex- ception of Rex Bell, screen cowboy and former leading man for the red haired star. Bell said Miss Bows interest in the trial had languished, and that she would not return until Miss Devoe went to the stand to de- fend herself.
 Armstrong testified yesterday that he believed 144 cancelled checks belonging to Miss Bow were missing. and he alleged that on the same date that these checks were drawn. Miss Devoe deposited similar amounts to her own ac- counts.
 The testimony. which was pro- saic and monotonous as compared tot the fireworks of the day before. when Miss Bow wept and ragged on the witness stand, resulted in many of the spectators leaving. Even
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-16

some of the jurors. who had been very wide awake, were seen to nod a bit.
 Miss Devoe and her attorney, Nathan o. Freedman, listened quiet ly to Armstrong's testimony, Miss Devoe scribbling occasionally in a notebook.
 As a result of the lull in excite ment, rumors spread that the de- fense was planning a coup detat of sensational nature, to be sprung when Miss Devoe took the stand.
 So far Clara has been the loser in every clash with Daisy. She wept when she testified to her for mer friendship with Miss Devoe and told how they once were pals.
 Another time she retreated under the cold gaze of Miss Devoe's blue eyes and screamed:
 "All right! Go ahead and sheer at me. Daisy!"
 There was feeling in the court room, and Bell partially confirmed the belief that Miss Bow was curi- ous to see how Daisy would act when on the witness stand with everyone gazing at her.

THE TOWN BAND

Starting Thursday of this week. Ell
Centre will be able to enjoy weekly band
concerts throughout the month of June
The concerts will be given by the FL
Centre municipal band, volunteer or
ganization supported almost entirely by
the members except for small allow
anee from the city council.
In days past the town band was one
of the most important organizations in
the American small town. The coming
of mechanical music has done much to
weaken its position, but the town band is
still an important feature of town life.
1t is most important, perhaps, when one
is wanted and there is none TO be had.
Our local band has been functioning
in a highly efficient manner for several
years 1t has been able to do this
through the efforts of its leader and the
whole-hearted support of the member
ship. They give of their efforts, not once
a week when concert is to be held, but
throughout the year, with no hope of re-
ward but the enjoyment they get from
playing and from doing bit of service
for their city.
There is not much the rest of US can
do to show our appreciation for their et-
forts except to attend the concerts which
they will give.
This all are urged to do. In the past,
selections given have been well rendered
