Senate Slush Fund Investigating Committee Life Loss In Quakes Mounting Scores Believed Lost In Shocks North of Florence; Communi cation is Cut Rome, Sept. 8. Several hundred persons lost their lives in the earthquake at Fivizzano, and many more were injured, according to a dispatch to the Tribuna from Mas- Bulldings Crumble. Rome, Sept. 8. Scores of lives are believed to haVe been lost in the district north of Florence which was severely shaken by an earthquake yesterday morning, as reports from the stricken region come In, the extent of the disaster seems to be growing. The territory violently disturbed seems to be losenge-shaped, with Florence at the southern apex and Modena at the northern end. It extends along the Etrurian coast and runs over the Appenines east ward for upward of 100 miles. In this district there are many popu lous towns, and no tidings have as yet been received from many of them. Reports from cities In tne earthquake zone show that build ings crumbled beneath the strain of the convulsion of the earth. At Fivizzano, a town of 17,000 inhabitants near Carrara, almost every building was damaged and many destroyed. Among the col lapsed structures is the postoffice, in the ruins of which is the entire staff, goliera, in the province of Maasa, Marittima and Monti, near by, were partly destroyed. Rlve sano, Fornl and MoVitignoro are re ported in ruins, while In Marina and Carrara many structures have collapsed. At Viareggio the church of St. Paul was destroyed. 'Panic prevails at Lucca as a re sult of the cataclysm, and from Gavinana and Ltmestre ceme re ports of lives being, lost. In one town an entire family was burled in the ruins of their home, and the village of Vigetta was entirely destroyed. j, t B HI H II mm Mm. iH A fa I IH MfeJn 'mm 'JB B - vj I Mm Quotas" Are Admith Cleveland Man Admits $400,000 Designated as Sum to be Raised In That City; Girls on Hiking Trip Portland, Or..

But if you bought a horse of blooded stock that had a pedigree, you would not need to take the man's word for it. The pedigree would show show his ancestry and race and give you an idea of the animal's capacity for speed and endurance. It's the same in buying advertising space. Some publications sell "just a horse" and you have to take their circulation statement with a pinch of salt. The Capital Journal is blooded stock. An A. B.

Selection of a jurj , d of a parttlong and ex- as expected to occupy Announcement of plans for a super display of automobiles was made Tuesday night by Lee Gil bert and George Halvorsen as members of the state fair exhibit committee of the Marion County Automobile Dealers' association. Despite the assertions made by a few Portland automobile dealers, that "Salem can't stage a success ful auto display" the Rose City auto men are reported to have capitulated and to be enrolling for floor space for the exhibit at the machinery building. Lee Gilbert, chairman of the committee in charge of exhibits, plans to invade Portland Thursday and to sign up at least five more applications for exhibition privileges. Cla-noey Is Decorator , "The decorations and artistic ar rangements for machinery hall will win 'em, olds or young," de clared Mr. Gilbert In announcing that C. B. Clancey, of Salem, will have personal supervision of art preparations. "Mr. Clancey is one of the ablest decorators on the Pacific Coast, his work during our own show last February, attracted general attention and brought out unstinted praise," states Mr. Gilbert. Arrangements for decoration of the hall, as announced Tuesday nieht include a universal color plan emphasized by colored lights, Condemnation Proceedings To Open Road Filed Condemnation proceedings for thhe acquisition of a strip of land sixty feet wide and approximately a mile long were filed by the state highway department against Mal colm Moody, Wasco county rancher.

Sixty-five thousand dollars for a fifteen round bout between Benny Leonard and Eddie Fitzslmmons, who are light weights! Stop and ponder about that for a moment It is more money than ever was paid two 135-pounderg to clash m this or any other country. It equals the sums paid for heavy weight scraps before the days of Tex Rickard and his (100,009 purses. No one but Tex, of course, would have had the temerity to parcel out such a piece of money, and a lot of pretty sharp followers of the fight jarae are wondering if the famous promoter himself hasn't misjudged the money-making powers of the mill. There is no doublt that the match is a good one, and Tex Is banking a lot on New York's hun griness for fighting. But and here comes the rub when Tex offered that huge puree he immediately put some bad Ideas in the head of every Ughtwejght in he business. They all want lots of money now. Their, managers wi hink in terms of less than $5,000 ind most of them mediocre gentw are demanding ($7,500 guarantees. A short time ago Tex approached certain well-known lightweight and suggested a meeting between him and another well-known young man. Neither of them is in a po sition to demand large sums for fighting. Yet, without blinking, they told Rickard it would cost him Just $20, 000 In guarantees. Now, it may be true that boxers will draw greater houses than ever before in the history of the ring sport, but it also Is true that if the men continue to make such out landlsh demands they will have the promoters shying whenever any thought is given matches. It may actually be the cause of a slump In Interest, for there are very few matches worth these big sums, and the promoters will lay back to wait for them. It may come to pass some of these days that the fighters and their managers will have to do their own promoting. Then they will find out whether they are worth the heavy sums they ask. The lightweights undoubtedly are in the ascendant. They are sever al mighty good ones around the country, but all the Dundees and lacksons in the country are not Worth 120,00 for a fight Benny Leonard means a big sale of tick ets, for he Is a champion, but It is iseless to believe that any one can draw with him. Lew Tendler should be forced to accecpt a match with him. Joe Benjamin is In the stable with Leonard and not hankering for a match even if he were eligible which he is not after his bad showing in the east last fall. Eddie Fitzslmmons is matched o fight the champion. And, after that, there are few others worthy of consideration. The New York promoters are hanging out distress signals. It may be considered quite probable that they will find some way to curb the yearning for gold. It will bo welcome if they do. Paid Worker Sent to Atlanta, Georgia, by Na tional Treasurer to Raise Funds in Excess of $25,000 Alloted to State; City Alone Con tributes $74,000 to C ampaign Chicago, Sept. 8. Governor Cox's "quota" figures on tb amount the republicans 'sought to raise in Cleveland, Ohiq, were substantiated and an admission made that the nations! committee had sought to raise more than Georgia's $25,00 quota when the senate committee investigating campaig expenses resumed its hearing today. Dudley S. Blossom, one of the leaders in the Cleveland, fund raising drive, testifieed the Cuyahoga county, quota wa fixed at $400,000 although the testimony of Fred W. Uphapv republican national treasurer, fixed the goal for the entire state of Ohio as $400,000 for the national committee anft: $250,000 for state purposes. C W. McClure, of Aatlanta, Ga said Mr. Upham sent C. P. Taylor, a paid field worker, to him last month with a letter stating that Mr. Taylor was delegated to raise more money in that state. Mr. McClure quoted Dr. J. C. Stockbridge, jt Atlanta, who as sisted him as saying Mr. Taylor, had told Dr. Stockbridge that he wanted to raise $26,000 in AatiattM alone. Mr. Blossom said they actually raised $74,000 In Cuyahoga county and Mr. McClure said his commit tee obtained pledges of about $11, 000 in the state of Georgia, on which $6,015.75 had been paid. Says Quota . Fixed. Senator Reed called" the witness' attention to the quota sheet sub mitted last week by Fred W. Up ham, republican national treasurer, which fixed the amount for the en tire s'.ate of Ohio at $400,000. Mr. Blossom tostifled that A. rf. Protzman, a paid agent of the na tional committee, was present when the Cleveland quota was an nounced as $400,000 and that Mr. Protzman helped direct the raising of the money. A list of 3,600 names of prospects was provided by W. R. wooaiora, chairman of the ways and means eommittee of Cuyahoga county and from this list each team captain selected the names of fifty to sev enty-five men to be canvassed by his team. Some of the cards in the list as furnished by Mr. Wood ford were marked with the am ount the prospect should give, Mr. Blossom said. State Mark Exceeded. "You were to get $400,000 in Cuyhagoa county alone, althougn this quota sheet Introduced last week by the republican national committee shows the goal for the entire state of Ohio was only $400, 000?" Senator Reed asked. "Yes, sir, that was my under standing." Mr. Blossom said that when he left Cleveland, Labor day, $74,000 had been pledged and that th work was still going on with Mtft Protzman directing it, and all th workers trying to reach the goal, nf $400,000. Senator Reed then took the wit ness through Form 101, the cam paign plan, which republican wit nesses have said was never issued, and which Mr. Blossom said ha had never seen. At almost every step In organization described, bj the plan, Mr. Blossom nodded or expressed assent. He said in exec utive committee was formed as de si ri bed in the plan and remember ed of Us dozen or so membew, W" -chael Gallagher: coal operator, aa chairman, and John She'rwln an J. R.
