March 8.— A tidal wave followed yesterday’s earth quake, in southern Japan, and the loss of life was much higher than was first supposed, official reports show. The police report at Kyoto, prefecture showed that nearly twelve hundred were dead In five towns, and reports from ru ral districts were -expected to swell the total. Several villages were reported wiped out and were swept by fire after the tremblors. The casualty toll as reported from official and seml-offlcldl sources was as follows: In Mine- yam 1000 are dead and 600 In jured in Yamadamura 60 are dead; In Iw atakl 50 are dead and 8 injured; in Osakn-40 are dead and 67 injured and in Ishikawa- mura 23 are dead and 31 injured. A staff member Nippon Dempo, of the Japan Telegraphic agency, telegraphed today from Miyasu on the Japanese sea. that 1600 per rons had been killed in the M ari time provinces by Monday’s earth quakes. It is estimated that 6500 houses have been demolished by the quake and 2000 destroyed by fire. The program to be held Friday evening at the Washington school promises to be one of the best events of Its kind ever attempted by lower grade pupils In Ashland.

All Dressed Up and No Place to Go 0 © i- YIHEee'sTii' Brother Finds 14-Year-Old Sister Bound in Front of Gas Jet R ED D IN G , Cal., Mar. 8 — (U N )— Bound to a chair and placed In front of an open gas Jet, 14. year old Elizabeth Ames was left to die by two men who had been refused food when they called at the house. The girl w /s alone at the time and the Intruders, apparently bent on carrying out a fiendish revenge, stuffed papers in cracks about the room so'th at the. gas would take effect. A brother returning f r o m school discovered the girl’s plight. She had been unconscious for two hours and was nearly dead, but revived when carried outside the house. Sheriff Sublett was given n good deecrlptlon of the men* and a determined search for them has been started. Law Which Would Speci fically Exclude Negroes to be Changed DECISION IMPORTANT Supreme Court Hoida That P ri mary i» of Sam e^ m p ort- ance as Election W ASHING TO N, Mar. 8.— The United States supreme court has thrown out the Texas prim ary laws, which specifically excluded negroes, but southern states are left free to continue white control by Indirect means now widely em ployed^ Many of these indirect laws have been upheld in previous de cisions of the court. • t This decision Is also Important because in it the court tends to •r> regard a primary In the same Im portance as an election. Senator Borah, Idaho republican, said the y supreme court indicated support of it contention that congress has power over primaries as well as regular elections. Important Point , This point is highly Important now because the senate’s report to investigate the Vare and Smith primary election - contributions ? hangs on the senate’s authority to ) go into primaries. Its. right has been challenged by those opposing r the Investigation but it went ahead neverthless. A specific test of the point in the courts may result. The Texas _ law. passed in 1923, expressly pro- g hlbited negroes from voting In the . democrat!? primary, which la the n real election in most southern states, where the republican par- tp aearwely exists. The supreme , court* held that this restriction . was a violation * of the 15 th amendment which forbids state» from passing any law abridging the rights of citlsens on account of race or colpr and that this was sufficient to invalidate it regard less of other points raised. , Necessary Step Exclusion of negroes from the polls has been regarded by» the (south ever since reconstruction days as necessary since negroes outnumber whites .In many of those states. This has been accomplished by. indirect means which do not theo retically discriminate against ne groes, but do practically. Educational tests, ability to ex plain state constitutions, nntrl- cate registration requirements, property qualifications, poll tax es, inconvenient voting hours and tub rosa surveillance are the most effective devices used. There is nothing in the Texas decision to prevent their continued use. When ■ " advised of this decision, Governor Moody of Texas indicated thpt the same epd now would be attempted by such indirect means.
