HER RADICAL STEP
Japan Makes Great Stride on
Road to Socialism.
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.

Successive Shocks Shake
Down Earthen Walls.
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

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

Justice Brewer Approves
House-Cleaning.
LET GOOD WORK CONTINUE
Tells Ijlfe Insurance Men It Is Bet
ter in Long Run to SelJ, Every
thing for What It Pro
fesses to Be.
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.
