(tint ted Prm traied Wire.)
New York, Dec. 26. A severe storm
'Which caused damage estimated at tnore
than fl.000.000 and rendered homeless
at least 150 persons along the Jersey
coast last night, f truck New York this
morning, menacing shipping and causing
great damage. So far as known no
lives were lost, but, the crews of eevr
eral vessels were reproted in grave dan
ger and it was feared loss of life would
result before the storm abated. .
All the way from Long Branch to
Highland Beach, on the New Jersey
shore houses were overturned, summer
homes of wealthy residents were Inun
dated and many fishermen were driven
from their homes, Seabrlght suffered
the most serious damage. Its lighting
plant was put out of commission. The
seagoing tug Ice King was driven on
the beach and wrecked. The crew made
its way ashore in safety.
Life savers at Forked River, N. J.,
lecorted today that two barges sank
offshore there. One man was Been cling
ing to the rigging before the craft sank
from view.
An unidentified bark went aground at
Seaside beach and it was feared the
vessel would break up before its crew,
Who were frantically sending out dis
tress signals, could be taken off. The
revenue cutter Beneca was sent to the
aid of the disabled bark.
The bodies of two men, Peter Macey
of Brookville, N. J., and John Walsh
of Trenton Junction, were found today.
They had died of exposure during the
night. It Is presumed they started to
walk home, lost their way and suc
cumbed to the intense cold.
TO BE
SPENT BY L
ON IRRIGATION PROJECT
West Umatilla Ditch Digging
Will Furnish Employment to
Large Force in State,
The problem" of the unemployed In
eastern Oregon, which Is acute at pres
ent, will be relieved in a very few days
by the commencement of actual con
struction work on the first 10,000 acre
unit of the west Jmatilla extension ir
rigation project, according to E. Q. Hop
son, government supervising engineer
for the district, who has Just returned
from Hermlston.
"We have received orders to begin
work, 'and are now purchasing ' provi
sions and camp equipment and expect
to commence work very soon after New
Years," said Mr, Hopson today. The
government will employ a large force
of men and teams at standard wages
and we plan to select the force from peo
ple living in the vicinity of the project.
.On my Visit I found there la a great
deal of unemployment in the neighbor
hood, so much so, that I expect the
greater part if not all of the positions
created will be eagerly snatched up. For
this reason there probably will be no
need of importing men from Portland
or other cities."
With the federal $700,300 appropria
tion now available, construction work
will be pushed straight through to com
pletion and it is anticipated that the
project will be finished by next year
. in all probability. Under the present
plans about $90,000 will be spent month
ly. The fact that the work is to start
soon has done much to encourage
settlers on the Hermiston project for
the reason that many of them are in
bad financial condition,' having spent
their all In improvements on the lands
they held. Work provided by the gov
ernment on the extension will make It
possible for tbem to go , through the
winter without further difficulty and
enable them to pet their lands in con
dition for a harvest next fall.
. The main ditch wll extend from
Three Mile falls of the Umatilla rlve
to Coyote, 20 miles. In addition the
government will build several score
miles of canal laterals to carry water
to every part of the unit.
Owing ' to ' the fact that Governor
West has interested himself in the
; unemployment problem, Mr. Hopson
addressed him a letter December 24,

IN CHRISTMAS BLAZE
Lamp Sets Fire to Decorations
and Injuries Follow Attempt
to Extinguish It,
Mrs. T. A. Anker, a violinist, living
at East Twenty-eighth and Liberty
streets, was seriously burned about the
neck, face and head last evening at 9
o'clock, when a lamp which set fire to
the Christmas decorations, destroyed th
house. Mr. Anker was. a few blocks
away at the time, escorting guests of
the evening to the streetcar.
Shortly after the visitors left the
house, Mrs. Anker picked up a large
lamp and started, .across, the room, pass
lng under a flag suspended from the
ceiling,. The heat from the lamp set
fire to the flag, and the blaze quickly
spread' to other holiday decorations. In
attempting to put out the blaze, the
woman was burned.
Neighbors attracted by Mrs. Anker's
screams ran to the house, but In the ex
citement they forgot to call the fire de
partment. A member of engine company
NO. 25 saw the blaze, however, and
turned out, but the firemen were un
able to save the place. The home was
practically new, having been furnished
only a year ago When the -couple was
married. Besides the furniture, a vio
lin Valued at $160, belonging to Mrs.
Anker,, was destroyed.

Tokio, Dec. 26. Whether or not it

was no question today of the pro-Mexican
sentiment of the rank and file of
Japanese.
A crowd constantly surrounded the
Mexican legation, where the envoy was
staying, and every time he showed him
self he was greeted with enthusiastic

Last night a lantern procession of
thousands marched through the streets

ZAPATISTA MASSACRES
TERRORIZE THE CAPITAL
Business Men Generally Try
ing to Force Huerta to Re

(United Pre Lfased Wire.)
Mexico City, Dec. 26. By President
Huerta's order, free bread was dis
tributed to the poor toaay.
As a result of the business disorgan
ization the number of unemployed runs
high Into the thousands. Many have
had no work for months. At best the
working people do little more than
barely live. With conditlqns as at
present, they are literally starving. t
Unless something were done to re
lieve the acufest of the distress, food
riots were feard.
Even the bread distrlbutkm did not
go far toward checking trie growing
dissatisfaction with the dictator, nor
was the feeling confined to the labor
ing class. Business men generally,
some of them very prominent ones,
were beginning to deeply resent his
refusal to improve the situation by re
tiring. A crash of all local banks seemed
Inevitable. Silver coin was practically
unobtainable and in the currency no
one had much confidence.
Kebel movements were reported In
progress against Tamplco, Monterej',
Mazatlan and Saltlllo. The moat vigor
ous today was the one against Monterey,
which It was said was likely to fall at
any time. j
News of massacres by Zapatistas

CLAIM OF-ARCHITECT
AUDITORIUM HELD UP
City Commission Hears the
Charge Made That Fraud
Tainted Award,
Until the rumors that have been heard
to the effect that there was fraud con
nected with the awarding of the Muni
cipal Auditorium plans to J. H. Freed
lander, architect of New York, have been
Investigated the claim for the drawings
will be held up by the city council. The
statement was made this morning in
the council meeting by C. A. Blgelow,
commissioner of finance that he had
heard that there had been fraud con
nected with the awarding of the plans
contract.
W. L, Brewster, commissioner of pub
lic affairs, stated that the work had
been done by Freedlander and he Is en
titled to his money.
"The drawings and plans have been
finished and all of the work done, and
Freedlander is entitled to his money,"
said Brewster. "The matter has ldng
been delayed and there is no need to de
lay it further."
"Well, If the claim has been held lip
this long," replied Commlcsioner Blge
low, "it will do no harm to hold It up
a few days longer or until such a time
that the rumors can be sifted to the
bottom."
On his recommendation the matter
was postponed until next Wednesday.
By that time Commissioner Blgelow
hopes to have the man who made the
charges to. him present what facts he
has In the case. The cost of the plans
was about $18,000 and they reached
Portland a few months ago.
. The investigation to be conducted
will probably not hinder any. action that
may be taken towards the immediate
construction of the auditorium. Thl a
morning, as he did not have all Informa
tion In hand, Commissioner Brewster
did not ask the council to empower
him to appoint a committee to assist
With a series of public hearings on
sites and plans to be held during Jan
uary. He will present the matter at

San Francisco, Dec. 26. Chief Engi

running over 7 year old Carmela Sarra
with his automobile last evening.
The little girl was crossing the street
with Virginia and Albert Bottaglla, aged
7 and 4, respectively, her playmates, at
the time of the accident. All three were
struck by the automobile, but the Bot
tagllas were little hurt. Carmela's in
juries probably will prove fatal.
The car's driver sped on without a
pause, a felony under the California law.
When CasselU's car was found, after
an all night search, in the Vlavl build
ing basement, the right headlight was
broken. According to the police, the
owner admitted the accident, saying he
did not stop because he saw others were
caring for the child.

Washington, Dec. 26. The question of

Washington, Dec. 26. The organized
