MAIN SEAPORT, RIVEN BS EARTHQUAKE A ND DEVASTATED B Y FLAMES Hundreds Reported Killed, Though Loss of Life Cannot be Confirmed. Disaster in South! American City May be as Proportionately Great as That of San v Except for a few private messages re ceived early today reporting an earth quake in Chile and damage to buildings in Valparaiso, no direct news from Chile has as yet been received. The early re ports coming from different points stated that the earthquake had resulted in great loss of life and widespread dam age to property. Up to 11 o'clock to night, however, there had been noth ing to confirm these reports. 1 The Associated Press correspondent at Buenos Aires cables that it is feared the town of Los Andes in the province of Aconcagua, has ben destroyed At the same time he points out that Buenos Aires has no direct communication with tho disturbed district. No official .information has reached -Washington from Chile, and while posi tive information is lacking, New York officials of cable companies having con nection in South America tonight ex press the opinion that the first reports of the earthquake were exaggerated. All cables reaching New York from Chile and Valparaiso early tonight we're evidently much, delayed according to tjje statements of those officials who are themselves unable to get any informa tion bearing on the situation other than the fact that an earthquake has oc curred; that the disturbance has disar ranged the telegraphic apparatus and in terfered with communication. There is much anxiety tonight among those who have friends and relatives in Chile. The cable companies ana newspapers are making every effort to secure defi nite information. It is pointed out that the entire absence of any word from official sources in Valparaiso and other points in Chile may be taken as indi cating considerable exaggeration of the reports of loss of life and extent of damages. Buenos Ayres, August 17. The news papers this evening publish telegrams from Mendoza (which is an entreport for the trade between Buenos Ayres and Chile with which it communicates by the mountain passes of Ushallata and Tortilla) to the effect that many houses ,in the Los Andes district were destroyed by the earthquake, and that there has been a large number of casualties. PEASANTS BEAT In O . Battle In Russian Province, , They Fight Like Wild ' Animals. St. Petersburg, August 17. At the headquarters of the gendarmerie here intelligence was received today of an other collision between Cossacks and peasantry in the province of Penza. In this affair the mob showed such determi nation and fury that troops were forced to retreat, carrying off several of their wounded. Five of the peasants were I killed and several score wounded. The peasants are reported to have fought nioro like wild animals than hu man beings. In their fury they seized priest, who wag. hurrying up to as sist the wounded and beat him almost to death before the wife of a sick peasant whom he had aided, recognized him and intervened. A serious affray occurred today in the suburb of Kolpme between workmen kt the government arms factory and sol diers, arising from a quarrel between a patrol of six soldiers and a dozen work men. Each side received accessions and the fight was continued' with stones, clubs and rifle butts. Several men of both 6ides were seriously wounded. SHOOTING CONTINUES ON WARSAW STREETS Warsaw, August 17. This morning two patrolmen were shot and killed and two wounded. . ' Strong detachments of troops search ed pedestrians throughout the city and all passengers arriving on the Vienna railroad are searched. At 8 o'clock this evening police, infantry and Cossacks stopped traffic and cut off the Jewish dis tricts from the rest of the city. It is now known that forty-three per sons were killed here August 15, of whom eight were policemen, and that 18 policemen and about one hundred citizens were wounded. SEVEN WHALES STRANDED ON ISLAND OFF. FLORIDA. v, St. Augustine, Fla. August 17. Fish ermen found seven large whales stranded on the beach of Anastasia Island today. They vary in i length from twelve to twenty feet. There is considerable ex citement over the find and work will at once be benun extracting the oil. BACK COSSACKS Francisco. The interruption of all means of com munication with Chile causes much anxiety. ' Buenos Aires, August 17. 8 p. m. In the absence of telegraphic comruuni cation beyond Puento Del Inca, it has been impossible up to this hour to ob tain accurate details of the destruction by the earthquake in Chile. The mana gers of the telegraph, companies here state that nothing is coming through. Press reports purporting to come from Chile are nurelv imacrinarv. London and New York are eagerly seeking for news from the affected district. Officials of the Pacific railway say that it is their belief that the damage at Valparaiso is not nearly so serious as has been stated, but they express the fear that the town of Los Andes has been, de stroyed. ' .' New York, August 17. The city of Valparaiso, Chil;, is reported badly damaged by earthquake. One report here is that the situation in Valparaiso may prove to be a serious as that in San Francisco. Practically every build ing In the city is damaged and there are fires in different parts of the city.-Many persons are reported billed and injured. The earthquake has interrupted cable facilities to lower South American poiits and the communication is re stricted to the rovtc via Lisbon. An other report at Lisbon is that the loss of life has not been confirmed. A private cabin dispatch to W. R. Grace & Co., from Valparaiso, sent by way of Lima, Peru, says that the earth quake in Yalpiraiso was severe, and that business has been totally sus-pended- The dispatch fu:M;er stated that Grace & Co.'s buildings in Valparaiso were badly damaged but tl.a1. none of the occupmts were injured. Description of the City. Valparaiso is a fortified seaport of Chile and the most important commer cial town of the western coast of South America. It has a population of about 150,000. It is the capital of the prov- ( Concluded oft page 2, column 2.) Issue an Address In Regard to Mob Violence at Green wood, s. c. Columbia, S. C, August 17. Governor Heyward returned this afternoon from the scene of the lynching of the negro Bob' Davis near Greenwood last even ing. When asked for a statement con cerning the lynching the governor said he had nothing to say further than that after a conference with Solicitor Cooper, of the Greenwood circuit, he had in structed that official to take immediate steps to prosecute the known members of the mob. As the sentiment among the best citi zens of the county, as well as a number of ' negroes, is in sympathy With the action of the mob, it is hardly probable that the prosecutions will amount to anything. A negro school teacher of the neigh borhood has written a card to the news papers in which he indorses the lynching of Davis. i The negro citizens of Greenwood county today issued the following ad dress, in regard to the lynching of Bob Davis: .. , "We, the negroes of this county, wish to say that we are with you and in any thing so serious as this you gave as sistance in what you think best. We cannot afford, as a race, to uphold any thing that tends to lower our Christian or moral standing, and the quicker we show that we are ready to help trace the rascal, to his den, the quicker will we have the sympathy of the white man when we are intruded upon. Some col ored prsons may eay . that negroes should not have assisted the white men in their search, but we say to them, 'You are simply needing common sense.' If there is anything lacking on the part of the negro race it is that of self-respect, and we say that if he cannot re spect himself, teach him, and do not be partial how and what manner the les son be given. Now, until the leaders of the race establieh the fact that we should join in and overtake any rascal, we are not in full discharge of our duty. Then let us as a race learn to respect ourselves, and thereby expect it of others. "We think we voice the sentiment of every respectable negro in the country, when we eay that the country is rid of one of the meanest, most disrespect able characters imaginable and your thoughts are ours.

The citizens guard is still - stationed between Fort Brown and the city of Brownsville, keeping the negro soldiers within bar racks. Aside from the feeling of ani mosity the town is quiet. The citizens have been informed that General McCaskey, commander of the de partment of Texas, will take immediate steps to relieve the situation. Advices from Austin are that consider able excitement prevails there and a movement is talked of to organize an armed force of citizens to go to Browns ville to assist in keeping the negro troops within the garrison, liovernor .Lanliam is still out of the city, Adjutant-General Pensland said he considered it very unwise to send state troops to Brownsville.

Y., August H.-yThe message from a committee of citizens in Brownsville, Texas, requesting that the negro troops who committed an jut i age there last Monday night be re placed by white soldiers, was received by President Roosevelt today.

It is stated that the troops will not be allowed outside of the post for the present, and that strict discipline will be maintained. T T Chelsea, Mass., August 17. Following the official information given by Bank Examiner Ewer to the comptroller of the currency at Washington, that the failure of 'the First National Bank 'of Chelsea, the doors of which were closed last night, was dun to excessive loans made to officers and directors of the bank, it became uriderttood today that " v ,. . m , . , . the principal factor in the suspension of the banK -was a large indebtedness on ihe part of its president Sylvester B. Hinckley. This indebtedness is unofficially esti mated at from $300,000 to $500,000, but statements made today by directors of the bank indicate that President Hinck FAIRS NORMA BROISUILL ley had transferred to the institution his equity in large real estate holdings, which it is expected, would provide for thfi payment in full of all depositors.

Much Interest Now Belr.g Taken in the Proposed $100,000 j Bond Issue. Special to Daily Industrial News. High Point, N. C, August 17. The all absorbing question here now is that of the new railroad. The proposition for $100,000 bond issue for a new railroad to connect somewhere about Wadcsboro or Rockingham with the Seaboard, or lower down with the Atlantic Coast Line, lias 'brought forth a warm discus sion.; Ho far only 500 voters have regis tered and most of these have put their names on the book during the past ten days. Those who oppose the proposition think that High Point can get the same accommodations for less money and a longer guarantee than ten years. Those who favor it argue that this is the only chance to get another road to com pete with the Southern. Your correspondent is informed that Swift & Coj, of Chicago, will erect a glue factory here, mentioq of which was made a few days ago. Their agent, who has been here, : will report favorably on it. The factory will supply all the fur niture makers in the state. It is stated today that Levi Johnson, late of Washington, and his son-in-law, Mr. Clapp, together with others here will soon embark in the printing busi ness. A etock company is being organ ized.

ALLEGED PROPHECY MADE AT SAGAMORE HILL Was Delivered During Call of Illinois Man and National Chairman Sherman at Oyster Bay, According to Wash ington Newspaper. By JOHN E. MONK. Washington, August 17. Following hard on the heels of the formal launch ing of Speaker Cannon's presidential boom at his district convention, comes a story, printed here today, that Pres ident Roosevelt has predicted that the speaker will be the next president. According to t ha Washington Post, which tells the story on what it says is the best of authority, Mr. Roosevelt us sunied the role of prophet on the oc casion of the speaker's recent visit to Sagamore Hill, with National Chairman Sherman, of the Republican corgression al committee, and other party lead ers.' After a conference of some hours, at which campaign plans were discussed in detail, the president is said to have approached Mr. Cannon, holding out his hand and saying: "Mr, Speaker, you will be the next president of the United States.";': It is not suggested that President Roosevelt favors Cannon above the other presidential uspirants; on the contrary, it is stated that Secretary Root would be his first choice, but realizing that Root's candidacy is out of the question, he is for Secretary Taft. However, ac cording to this hot weather gossip, the president, while favoring Taft, is inclined to believe that the finger of destiny is pointed toward the statesman from Illinois, Whatever credence is to be placed in this report, it is certain that "Uncle Joe" is "going some" as a candidate for first honors in the next Republican na tional convention, and that his boom is attaining decidedly formidable propor tions. His friends are doing systematic and organized work in his behalf, and that is more than the supporters of any other prospective candidate, possibly ex ceping Vice-President Fairbanks, are doing- J THE COMMISSION President Announces Appoint ment of Associate Justice's Son.

The appointment of Mr. Harlan com pletes the membership of the commis sion as provided for under the new rail road rate law. The appointment was decided upon by President Roosevelt several weeks ago, but was deemed best not to make the announcement until this time. Attovney-deneral Moody, who was a guest of President Roosevelt last night. left Oyster Ray fur Washington. He said he had discussed with the president the niauer of tilling several vacancies on the federal bench. WED AT A PICNIC AS .

Logan, of this city, and Miss Estella Belle Bishop, of Shenungo township. He is 21 years and She is three years his junior; Until they were driven to the park in a closed carriage and were ushered upon the stage of the summer theater, no one in the vast assemblage knew their identity except the committee in charge and the Rev.

Bristol, Va.,. August 17. Fifty men are entombed alive in the Clinch moun tain tunnel at Clinchport, Va., as aresult of a cavein, which occurred this morn ing. It is not known whether the men are dead or alive, but the work of res cue is being rushed as fast as possible. Air is being pumped in the tunnel by several pumps for a distance of 700 feet and a large force of men is work ing in an effort to rescue the unfortu nates before they perish, if they are not already dead. The cavein occurred unexpectedly, and it is not known who is responsible; The men entombed are chiefly natives of that mountainous section of south east Virginia and the excitement and anxiety is intense. Men, women and children are at the mouth of the tunnel waiting news of those dear to them in side, and pitiable scenes are being enacted. Women are screaming and wrinigng their hands and crying hysterically for fathers, brothers and loved ones who are prisoners in the black hole and perhaps dead or dying. The work of rescue will continue as rapidly as possible, though it cajnnot be stated with any degree of certainty how long it will take to reach the men. .- No bodies have as yet been recovered. The tunnel is being driven , through Clinch mountain and is to be one mile in length. It has been already extended about seven hundred feet, and the men are a considerable distance in the hole. The contract for this tunnel was let some months ago by the South and Western Railway at $2,200,000, and is to be. one of the longest and most ex pensive funnels in the south, Clinchport is a small place in Scott county between here and Big Stone Gap, on the line of the Virginia and South western, forty-three miles from Bistol. AMERICANS FLEE Foreign Residents of the Greaser Republic Certain an Up rising Will Take Place. r San Antonio, Tex., August .Not withstanding the efforts of the Mexican government and our own state depart ment to allay the fears of American residents in Mexico regarding the reports that, an uprising against foreigners is to take place on or about September 10, many Americans are sending their families out of the republic. -Within the last week a number of them have come to San Antonio.

ADVANCE FOLLOWED NEWS OF DIVIDENDS Announcement Was Entirely Unexpected by the Traders and Scramble for Stocks Immediately Follows the News First Dividend of So. Pac. Common. New York, August 17. Amid scenes of frantic trading on the stock exchange, Union Pacific common stock rushed up ward 171-8 points a share and that of Southern Pacific 6 7-8 points todays after an announcement of dividends far in ex cess of what the traders had any reason to expect. The result was that a large number of traders who had sold the stock short suffered sharp losses and according to 'an estimate reported by the Evening Post, a pool in Union Pacific stock realized profits amounting to $15,000,000 and a similar pool in Southern Pacific $10,000, 000. Notwithstanding the meeting of the executive committees of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific roads in this city yesterday the bulk of the brokers were totally unprepared far the announcement of dividends which was made public soon after the opening of today's market. The dividends were: Union Pacific, perferred, 2 per cent., semiannually; common, 5 per cent., semiannually. Southern Pacific, , common, 2 1-2 per cent, semi-annually. Union Pacific, com mon, heretofore paid 3 per cent, and to day's dividend was the first ever de clared to Southern Pacific common. Brokers were swept into a mad strug gle tobuy the two stocks within a min ute after the announcement was circu lated, and the excited scenes which en sued have hardly been exceeded since the great struggle to control North Pa cific five years ago. The shorts in both Pacifies were surprised and unprepared for the upward rush which followed and led the scramble to cover. Within half an hour after the announcement Union Pacific had bounded up more than 8 points and Southern Pacific nearly se;en. .: :'.: Feverish activity prevailed in the two stocks throughout the session, with various halts in the upward movement when the traders sold to realize profits. Except for these halts the upward move ment in Union Pacific continued through out the day almost to the close of tho market, when there was a slight reces sion on profit taking. Southern Pecific's advance, however, was halted early and held. Union Pacific's extreme ad vance was from 162 7-8 to 170 3-4, and Southern Pacific's from 837-8 to 8!). Union Pacific closed at 178 1-2 and Southern Pacific at 87 3-8. The total sales of Union Pacific were 647,100 shares and of Southern Pacific 481,600 shares. The executive committee of the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the South ern Pacific company announced that the following dividends have lieen declared: A semiannual dividend of 2 per cent, on the preferred and a semiannual dividend of 5 per cent, on the common stock of til Union Pacific, and a semiannual dividend of 2y3 per cent, on the common stock of the Southern Pacific company. The 5 per cent, dividend on the common stock of Union Pacific compares with a pre vious dividend of 3 per cent, on that stock. The dividend on Southern Pa cific common stock is the first ever de clared on that stock. The announcement of the dividend says: "It is understood that of the dividend of 5 per cent, on the common stocks of the Union Pacific, 3 per cent, is charged to surplus earnings of the railroad and 2 per cent, to income from investments."
