NATION ENTERS BUSINESS Follows Nationalizing of Railroad by Partnership of Government With Individuals in Indus trial Work of Manchuria. WASHINGTON, July 18. According to advices received by the Bureau of Man ufactures, the Japanese Government has undertaken one of the greatest experi ments in the world's history, which indi cates a clear purpose to protect, supervise, develop and nationalize all Japanese In dustries. It is stated that the provision for the nationalization of railways was but a single step In the great plan of In dustrial nationalization toward which the country Is fast approaching. The movement for Manchurlan nation alization has received careful attention, and it is now proposed that a company shall be formed by the Government and private capitalists Jointly for the purpose of operating the railroads, forests and mines in Manchuria. If successful along the lines Japan is now working, it is said that the individ uals and corporations of America that are striving for the trade of the Orient will discover that they are not competing for this trade against Individuals and corpor ations of Japan, but that they are in commercial conflict with the Japanese na tion itself. IiOAXS TO AID FOREIGN TRADE Japanese Plan to Exploit Manchuria and Oorea Revealed. WASHINGTON. July 18. Information received by the Bureau of Manufactures is to the effect that a great guild of cot ton manufacturing companies of Japan hag been formed to capture the Man churlan trade. In connection with the enterprise the government has decided to make loans through the Tokahama Specie Bank with out limitation as to the amount, not only on cotton textiles but on matches, cement, beer, marine products, lumber and other goods to be exported to Manchuria, at 4'--per cent per annum. As soon as a single company has effected a large yearly ex port, the government will refund per cent of this interest. As regards freight age, the government will carry out nego tiations wltfe the Chinese Eastern Rail way and the subsidized Japanese lines. 1 The government will pursued a similar policy with regard to Corea. where the Dallich Glnko (First Bank) is to act as the Specie Bank acts In Manchuria. The Bureau of Manufactures has received re ports from Ambassador Wright at Tokio and from other sources confirming this now movement by Japan. Ameer Wants Educated Nation. LAHORE. India, July IS. The Ameer of Afghanistan has issued a notable pro nouncement on the subject of education in his domains. He says education is ret rogressing, but that the fault Is not with the teachers, but with the government of. ficlals. who discourage education, dread ing Its leveling tendencies. The Ameer warns the high-born officials that they must either change their attitude In this connection or be left behind. Henceforth, he says, education will be the sole path to state's service. SEATTLE SORRY, SAYS HILL (Continued From Page 1.) cerned. Seattle is not in a position to han dle much of the business. On the Great Northern Is estimated to be 5,000,000 bush els. Hill put the figures at 6,000,000, but grain men say fhis Is too high. It is about one-fifth the amount the Northern Pacific handles. Everett Is Logical Wheat Port. Logically, the wheat trade of the Great Northern ought to go to Everett to save the long haul to Seattle. Moreover, cheap property can be had there, while there is nothing available in i cattle. What Northern Pacific wheat comes to the Sound will go pretty much to Tacoma if the Northern Pacific can divert it there. With the competition of the north-bank line it will probably be handled by way of Vancouver, for Hill Is determined that a water grade be had that will enable him to haul twice as many cars with one engine by that road as he can over the Cascades, by way of either the Northern Pacific or Great Northern. It Is unreas onable to expect the Northern Pacific to haul Its wheat by Tacoma to Seattle. Hill has It In his power to retaliate In scores of ways, and It is declared that he proposes to call upon all his resources to rebuke Seattle, if it is necessary to do so, to make this city respect his wishes in the future. Harrlman May Get Franchise. It Is quite likely the Harrlman line will get its franchise. The Hill proposal that a First-avenue depot be built Is answered easily enough by the Harrlman people. Councilmen question whether they should undertake to force the St. Paul and Har rlman lines to build a Joint depot, and even if they did there is not enough room to offset the Hill depot grounds. Between Oriental avenue and Whatcom avenue, where Hill would put all rail roads, there Is, exclusive of streets, 1798 feet of ground, in width. Of this, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Jointly and the Northern Pacific alone own 1170 feet. This leaves but 628 feet available for the other roads. Viewed from another standpoint, either of the depot sites Hill proposes to the Council to force Harrlman to accept is too small. One piece of ground, which Is cut In two by a street over which rail road franchises now hold, Is 238 feet In width. There is not room enough for de pot purposes in the length offered. The only block Harrlman men believe could be reached satisfactorily Is but 150 feet in width. Hill's depot grounds at the south end are 750 feet wide and at the north widen to 960 feet. An answer to his position is found in these figures. Harrlman will fight for the franchise as he asked for It, and the Coun cil is apt to grant it. Then Hill may make it "a sorry day for Seattle." That Is the way the situation stands now. Prepare Plans for Channel Tunnel. LONDON. July 18. Sir Douglas Fox. pest president of the Institute of Civif Engineers, has been invited to prepare plans for a channel tunnel. Parliament ary sanction for the scheme will be sought at the next session.

PEOPLE FLEEING IN PANIC Walls of Hotel Fall While Guests Dine and AU Stampede Extinct Volcano Suspected of Reviving and Causing Shocks. EL PASO, Texas, July 18. (Special.) Earthquake shocks numbering between 50 and 60 have practically made a ruin of the town of Socorro, 160 miles north of this place. The courthouse is a mass of ruins ;T.d practically all the houses in town are damaged. According to re ports rece'vtd, there is no loss of life. The damige has been wrought by a con tinuation of slight quakes, which have caused the walls of structures already cracked to tumble to the earth. The first shocks were felt on Sunday, but the real d;,rr.age has been confined to the last two dcys. K. M. F.:nk, a cattle buyer who came from Socorro today, declares he was sitting at dinner at the Wlnckler Hotel on Monday, when the entire side wall of the dining-room fell in, and the guests and all the waiters scattered In every direction. The people are In a panic and all who can do so are leaving town. ' There is a crater of what is thought to be an extinct volcano not more than eight miles from Socorro, and the in habitants think that perhaps the volcano has somsthlig to do with the remarkable series of shocks. The temperature of the water in Hot Springs at Socorro has Increased over ten degrees and it is thought that this furnishes new evidence of internal upheaval of Ideal nature, and that the earth is disturbed at great depths in the immediate vicinity of the town. The Natl mal Railroad Is sending box cars into tre town to take the people away so reat is their desire to leave the town. Huge boulders have been Jarred on the track from -the mountain sides and train? have been delayed thereby. The bridge abutments ht-ve been affected to such an extent that Orders have been Issued to Santa Fe t-oinmen to proceed with great cautloi over bridges within a ra dius of SO nules of Socorro. TWO-THIRDS OF TOWN GONE San Marcla and Magdalena Snffer Less Than Socorro. KANSAS CITY, July 19. A special to the Times from El Paso, Tex., says: Soceoro, N. M., south of Santa Fe. has been badly damaged by an earthquake. Fifty-two shocks have been felt since Sun day morning. The city hall is wrecked. The buildings of the School of Mines are wrecked and nearly every residence in the city is cracked or wrecked. More than two-thirds of them are at least damaged or destroyed. The town, which is largely of adobe and brick, is almost shaken to pieces. The people are fleeing, but no one has been killed. The entire surrounding country has felt the shocks and much damage has been SOCORRO RUINED done, especially at San Maroia and Mag dalena, but not so severely as Socorro. WEALTHY MAN ARRESTED While 111 Los Angelan Is Sent to Prison Instead of Hospital. NEW YORK, July 18. A man represent ing himself to be Roswell Sprague Jones, a wealthy mlneowner of Los Angeles, Cal., and a descendent of an old New York family, was released from the workhouse on BlackwelPs Island late last night, af ter serving two days on a charge of in toxication. Friends say that his arrest was due to a mistake, and that he should have gone to a hospital instead of to Jail. Jones came to New York last April and put up at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Last Friday night House Detective John Mul holland, of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, sent in a call for an ambulance, intending to have Jones taken to a hospital for treat ment. A patrol wagon drew up Instead, and Jones was carried off to the Tender loin police station. The defendant gave his name as Joseph Jones, and refused to give any informa tion about himselif. Jones has a large bank account with the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, and the bank began an investigation and found out where he had landed. Jones is now in a private hospital. He is weak and nervous. When asked why he preferred to do two days rather than send word to his friends, he 6aid: "I did ask one of the officials to send my check to my bank, as I was out of money, but I guess he forgot It." Wife Is Very Indignant. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 18 Roswell Sprague Jones has been, with his family, a resident of Los Angeles at different times for the past few years. He Is well known here and is wealthy. Mr. Jones is reputed to own large mining Interests in Colorado and Arizona, and Mrs. Jones is also said to be possessed of a large pri vate income. The family spent the greater part of their time in traveling for the benefit of Mr. Jones health. Mrs. Jones, when seen today at her residence, was indignant at the reported treatment of her husband in New York. She says her husband has been HI for some time and threatens to make somebody suffer for bis arrest. . v Residence Property Sold. John B. Yeon sold to Mrs. Emma R Brown yesterday the lots of residence property at the northwest corner of Eleventh and Salmon streets. While the consideration was not announced. It is understood to be $31,000. The transfer was made by Reed, Fields & Tynan.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 18. "There has been a good deal of disturbance in the body politic the past year and it is likely to continue. The Nation is engaged in the business of cleaning house. Uncle Sam is disturbing a great many. There are a great many that wish he would not be so particular. The truth of it is, we have been a long time fixing up our front yards. They make a magnificent show ing. We have forgotten that every house has a back yard, alid have not been as particular about it. We are going to clean the back yards." These were the words of Justice David J. Brewer of the Supreme Court of the United States, in an address tonight be fore the large number of life insurance agents who have been holding their an nual convention in Milwaukee this week. Continuing, Justice Brewer said : As a result of the work now going on there will be truth and honesty in every market and Industry. A great many object to what Is going on. They say it Is disturb ing business and interfering with prosperity. It may be that some persons are interfered with and suffer some temporary embarrass ments, but nothing will better build up this country than to give every man, whatever he buys in our markets, just what it pur ports to be. In the long run everything will be improved if everything universally Is Just what it ought to be, and every man In the country will be profited in the long run. Some think we are going to have trouble every time there Is an expose. It Is not true. The great American people is not un sound. Tonight I want to appeal to you as men and women of this Republic, to the feeling that the glory and future of thi Republic depends upon you. isvery individ ual should step forward and say: "I am go ing to see that peace, justice and righteous ness prevail." I am sure then that peace will prevail throughout the land. A Socialistic View of Earthquakes. Wilshire's Magazine.

This throwing of people closely together is exactly what Is needed in or der to develop the highest type of man, and I have no question but that it will effect the development of a njuch finer and better society in San Francisco than has ever been before in the history of any American city.
