MEXICO CITY, June 18.(
Terror reigned In central and
southern Mexico todny after earth
quakes had Mhaken the region from
he Gulf of Mexico to tire Gulf of
Tohuantopec, for two days.
Apparently the only casualties
occurred In- tho stato of Oaxaca,
dispatches from there Hinted:
(."There wero casualties nnd nu
merous houses collapsed."
'The number of victim was not
given.
7 -In many places people were
camped in the open, refusing to
re-enter their ho men In fear of new
tremors. Oaxaca was Just begin
ning to recover from an earth
quake of two montfis ago ami w4h
the center of the disturbance. Fifty
dlutlnct tremors were felt there in
tho Inst hour of "The dlsturljnnle
last night and lesser quo ken were
felt through the day.
The streets of Oaxuca wero clut
tered with tho debris of walls.
Heavy seas rushed Inland at
Puerto Angel for a distance of
sixty yards. Various warehouses
along tho waterfront were destroy
ed. ' Big fissures wero opened in the
hills along tho railroad tracks at
Puchutla and landslides were
threatened.'
Rome casualties 'occurred at
Mtahuatlan nnd tho property dam
age was heavy.
In Mexico City tho earthquakes
wero felt as late as &:30 laet night
and these widened the cracks
which appeared In the streets and
pavements.
Many plato glass windows wero
shattered In the business section
and a few adobe walls fell,
' In the hotels, groups of foreign
tourists, Including ninny Americans
fled into the streets.
1 The movement In tho capital
was strong enough to swerve auto
mobiles from their course nnd
throw pedestrians from their feet.
One of the hospitals reported a
case of hysteria on the pnrt of u
tux i cub driver. Ho became deliri
ous with fear when his ciu skidded
erratically. The driver lost con
trol of the automobile nnd It
plunged across a sidewalk at full
Hpeed, smashing into a building
( fcnd cutting two pasHengers.
In every theater the audiences
dived for the exits. There were
jams nnd crushes at the doors but
no Herious injuries resulted.
In one theater, n motion plcturo
depleting tho life of Christ was
shown. A representation of the
crucifixion was cast on the screen
and the title describing how the
wall of the templo was rent in twain
at the moment of Christ's death
had just been flashed when the
first shock came.
The audience rushed for tho
street, tho men and women cross.
Ing theniselve. and falling to their
That
knppd on the sidewalks. All at
j tomifts of theatvr employees o
! sinp tho rush were futile,
j The electric lights went off for
; a time and Increased the panic.
Water muimi also were broken,
j People rushed from their ho men
into the streets and plaza and fell
! upon their knees in prayer.
i Ht'ttunoloftical re porta at Tacu

'KLAMATH DROPS
FROM LEAGUE' 10
GET SUBSTITUTE
At the conclusion of yesterday's
frame with Medford. In the Orenon
California, leasue. notice w
served by Klamath Falls that they
would withdraw from tho league.
ReddinK. Calif., is dickering to
-enter the league, nnd if this is not
conHUmmated, Medford, Weed and
Dunsmuir will finish out tho sea
son. '
The collapse of Klamath Falls,
once one of the best ball towns in
the state, 1h attributed to the fren
zied financing of last seasoin. when 1
they closed -in scneauie wan a
$1700 deficit. Mediocre players
wore given fancy salartcM and
money expended lavishly. There
was quite a Jungle over finances,
and it continued into this year.
with the result that Klamath Falls j
businessmen refused tneir cus
tomary backing.
J ii the event that Redding, Calif.,
does not Join the league, tho three
remaining teams will play out tho
schedule, alternating with out- of
town and upstate teams, while a
seven game series for the cham
pionship of northern California
will be played.
A game will probably be played
In this city August C, with the
University of Illinois team, on a
itour. A game will also bo nrrang
f ed with two or three semi-pro
teams of Portland nnd tho Sacra
jmento valley. Kagle Point wants
'to piny Medford, if they are fur
nished a catcher. -
Munager Court Hall said today
thnt Klamath Falls quitting the
league would not affect the local
team, and that it would be kept
Intact. Ken Robie, University of
Oregon shortstop is expected to
Join the team this week.
A double-header will be played
next Sunday. Cliff Rest will pitch
agalnijt Dunsmuir in the morning
game, nnd part of the afternoon
game with Weed. Jack Hughes,
who has always made a good
showing again At Weed, and Arthur
Schoenl, will f probably get a
cbiHice to show their stuff in the
Weed game.
Manager Hall desires to thank
the fans for their good attendance
yesterday, In spite of the weak
Klamath Falls team.
