stacle In the way of the construction by

advices received by the bureau of man
ufactures, the Japanese government has
undertaken one of tho greatest experi
ments in tho world's history, which in
dicates a clear purpose to protect, su
pervise, develop and nationalizo all

the provision for tho nationalization of
railways was but n single stop In tho
great plan of industrial naturalization

tion, and it is now proposed that a

Successive Light Shocks Shake
Down Earthen Walls.
PEOPLE ARE FLEEING IN PANIC
Extinct Volcano Near the Town Is
Suspected of Reviving and
Causing Shocks.
El Paso, Tex., July 10. Earthquake
shocks' numbering between 60 and 60
have practically made a ruin of the
town of Socorro, 100 miles north of this
place. Tho courthouse is a mass ol
ruins, and praotically all the houeoa in
town aro damaged. According to re
ports received, there is no loss of life.
The damage has been wrought by a
continuation of slight quako?, which
have caused the walls of structures Al
ready cracked to tumble to tho earth.
Tho first shocks -were felt on Sunday,
but tho real damago has been confined
to the last two days.
E. M. Fink, n cattle buyer who camo
from Socorro today, declares ho was
Bitting at dlnnor at tho Wlniklo: hotnl
on Monday, whon tho entiro aldo wall
of tho dining room foil in, and the
gueits and all tho waiters scattered In
evory direction. Tho people aro In a
panic and nil who can do so are leaving
town. .
There is a crater of what Is thought
to be an extinct volcano not moro than
eight miles from Socorro, and tho in
habitants think that perhaps tho vol
cano has something to do with tho re
ma kable rories of shocks. The torn
pnrature ol tho water In Hut Springs at
8:corro has incrotsod over ten degrees
and it is thought that this furnishes
new evidenco of internal upheaval of a
local nature, and that the earth is dis
turbed at great depths inthe Immediate
vicinity of the town.
The National rallrcad is sending box
cars into the town to take the people
away so great is their desire to leave
the town.
Huge .boulders have been Jarred down
on the track from the mountain sides,
and trains have been delayed thereby.
The bridge abutments have been affect
ed to such an extent that orders have
been issued to Santa Fo trainmen to
proceed with great caution over bridges
within a radius of 30 miles of Socorro.

Nono of the mombors of tho cabinet

CUMAX OF ADMINISTRATION".
Roosevelt Will Invoko Conspiracy Law
and Dissolve Standard Oil.
Washington, July 18. Dissolution
of the great Standard Oil trust may bo
the result ol the prosecutions soon to
be begun against that corporation by
the government. Assistant Attorney
General Purdy, who has direct charge
ol the preparation of the prospective
cases, returned to Washington today
(rom St. Paul, where for two weeks he
has been in consultation with Special
Counsel Kollogg, of the latter city, and
District Attoruoy Morrison, of Chicago,
and, whllo he refuses to discuss details
as to tho plans underway, there Is good
authority for tho statement that the
administration Is Aiming at a more
vital object than fines or even impris
onment for the (rust offenders.
Tho cases against Standard Oil will
bo made utidor tho cot.iplracy act. It
Is of recent memory that conspiracy in
restraint of trado in violation of tho
provisions of the Sherman anti-trust
law resulted in tho dissolution of the
Northern Hocurlties company. Mora
recently tho government won another
sweeping victory In tho courts and dis
solved tho Western paper trust. Tho
same aort of success mot tho movement
against tho olovator trtmt in California.
Tho breaking up of tho monster
S'amlatd Oil combination may come as
tho culminating grand climax of tho
Roosevelt administration, and lu tha
light of today's developments persons
In Washington have recalled to them
with striking force these words spoken
by President Roosevelt shortly before
tho adjournment of congress:
'Tho prosecution of tho Standard Oil
company la tho most important thing,
in this administration."
