Amendment To Bill To Be Introduced Winter Brings Death To Great Area In Orient SHANGHAI, Jan. 13 iff) Winter, In this pnrt of tho world the har Dinger of death nnd intense Buffer- t ing, yesterday gripped virtually all of North China, Manchuria, Siberia, Korea and Japan, paralyzed com munications, crippled railroads and took an undetermined toll of human life and property. China, from the Yangtse river north i ward and from the sea westward, lay : under a mantle of ice and enow, while frigid blasts from the north added to tho depth of the white blanket with a mixture of snow and eand from the barren steppes of Mongolia.- It wa feared thousands have per lshed from the intenuo cold tn North ern China alone, dispatches describ ing the finding of scores of frozen bodies in tho streets of large cities, but the number of dead probably never will be known, Even now tho fate of Western Chlnu, much of which was Isolated owing to disrupt ed communications, 1b uncertain. Many cltios of North Central and ; Northeastern China reported balow zero weather and at Harbin, Mnn churla, the thermometer registered 37 degrees centigrade, below sscro. Tho local weather office described the cold wnvo aa the most severe in China nino3 1803. Forecasts Indicat ed moderating temperatures in the vicinity of Shanghai at least today. 'Most of 'the huge population of China Is poorly equipped to with stand the rinora of an unusually cold winter. This year a deceptive warm spell immediately preceding the pres ent cold wave put North China off Its guard. Hence tho sub-zero weather caused unusual suffering. The storm caused Emperor Hirohllo of Japan, nn enthusiastic biologist, to abandon a sen week colcting expe dition off Hayama. Mexican Felons Fear Cataclysm On Island Prison TEPIC, Nyorlt, Mexico, Jon. 13 In tho breasts of hundredH of Mex ican felons Imprisoned in Las Marias islands prison colony today was a desperate feor of a natural cataclysm which will wink their island homo Into tho soa and drown them all. For threo days tho Islands havo j been shaken by some powerful sub- j terranean forco which has cracked 1 buildings, opened crevasses in tho 1 rarcii, and washed in I.uro waves ! from the pecan. Twcnty-yeven such quakes occurred In ono period of three hours. Islet cones near the water's edge have s m o K o d and emitted rumblliiK noises. Some believe, It Is said, that a supernatural vengeance is about to i bo visited upon the penal colonies In retaliation for the imprisonment i of Madro Concepclon, who is serving I 20 years as "moral author" of tho as- ! snsBlnatton of Ocnerul Obregon - In ' 102B. 1 There Is general fear that a volcano ; will open directly under tho prison- . era feet, or that ono of the nearby small cones will emit n flood of lava which wilt engulf them: that con- i tinulng quakes will reduce the build- ; ings, or that an immense seismic wave will inundate the Islands and : wipe them bare of human lire. i The entiro went const or Nayorit ; also Is alarmed. Hrro the quakes are j ascribed to tho volcano Cerobrucn. j south of Topic, which after a cen- ! tury of silence. l rumbling and ' smoking.
