Court costs (S4OO his own, voluntarily, and SBOO of M. • E. Stroup's, when compelled, Dec. 1914, by order of Court only).

DEMOCRATS TRY TO CONCEAL PUGHT [Continued From First Page.] alike for their failure to encourage more representative men to enter the lists for the chief place In the city government. However, the real truth of the situation is that the Clark act lias so denuded the office of Mayor of real importanco that that class of citi zens who would serve their community for the sake of service are not willing to become the targets of abuse and vilification in a contest with indi viduals who seem to regard the office as a mere political job. Abuse of Councilmcn Reports throughout the city seem to indicate that there is a rising tide of resentment against the unfair tac tics being employed by individuals against City Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and Taylor, who represent the majority of the present Council. One prominent businessman said to-day: "It is absurd to expect these offi cials to give perfect service at the outset of a new plan of municipal gov ernment. They were compelled to waste months of the first year of their term of two years in getting a fair knowledge of their duties under the changed conditions. But I doubt whether any city officials or set of officials in many years can present a better record of substantial accom plishment. Anyhow, what would be Kalned by dismissing these Repub licaifs and getting in their places three ' other Republicans or three Democrats ! who have had no experience in the work of these Important departments. Unless the taxpayers who are not con cerned about political advantage get nwake to the fact they will find that they have lost sight of their own best interests." Democratic Diversion It is apparent to a large number of intelligent citizens who do not say much and who are not active in a po litical way that the noisemaklng of the Democratic machine is a demon stration to divert attention from the efforts of the machine to land its own combination. While talking about the alleged political activities of the three Republican members the Democratic machine bosses are craftily avoiding nny reference to the very active po litical performances of the Messrs. Royal and Gorgan during the last two years. It was an easy matter for Royal especially to criticise his Republican colleagues Inasmuch as he has been more ornamental than useful through out the entire period. His frequent play to the galleries at the session of the City Council has been understood by those familiar with municipal af fairs and even Democrats are dis gusted with his political flim-flamming. Republicans generally are coming to the conclusion that the best answer to the Democratic machine will be the re-election of Bowman, Taylor and Lynch with a fourth Republican mem ber as an emphasis upon their attitude toward political fakirs. With respect to the long list of can didates for the other offices to be filled there is of course the usual backing and filling, but loaders of the Repub lican organization in the city and county express the opinion that Re publican sentiment generally favors party harmony and a strong front after the tickets shall have been placed in the field. Turks Destroying Coast Towns in Anticipation of Dardanelles' Fall By Associated Press London, Sept. 14. The town of Phocaea, Asia Minor, twenty-five miles northwest of Smyrna, is reported to be in flames, according to a Reuter dispatch from Athens, which says it is inferred that the Turks are destroy ing coast towns and retiring into the interior in expectation of the fall of the Dardanelles. ANARCHY IN PERSIA By Associated Press London, Sept. 14.—Anarchy pre vails in Persia, according to the Teheran correspondent of the Reuter Telegram Company. The government military forces have been defeated In a series of engagements with tribes men and a number of Swedish officers who were in the service have been killed. The British and Russian col onies at Ispapan with French and British women missionaries have been forced to leave for Teheran. Ispapan is said to be controlled by a mob. EARTHQUAKE" FORECASTS; [Continued From Editorial Page.] By Frederic J. Has kin ogist, had forecasted the coming of the Guerrero earthquake in Mexico, and Omorl, the Japanese geologist, rang tlie bell twice by giving warning of the coming of the earthquake at San Francisco and that which a little later disturbed Valparaiso. Chile. It is the fact of its long immunity from shock that causes geoplogists to predict that the Panama Canal region is in great danger of a shaking up of any point on the continent. There are scores of faults on the isth mus at which there have been slips one way and another in the geologi cal past. These have resulted in dif fering situations existing there. There have been times, for instance, when the two oceans meet. The government consulted with geologists before building the canal. It. was told of the probability of a visi tation but earthquake prognostication was not at that time sufficiently ad vanced to be taken very seriously. Even admitting it as a probability, a slip might not seriously Injure the canal. It -would break It in two and might raise or lower one end of it a few feet. But it would probably be possible to splice it together again and make the necessary adjustment. As the contraction of the earth presses the two sides of this break together with a terrific force there would be no such possibility as that of the earth opening up and swallowing Gatun Lake, and the Incidental ships that might be thereabout. Influence Still Working The Influences that make for pos sibility of an earthquake where Ken tucky and Tennessee approach the Mississippi river are quite different Whatever • s the internal Influence that creato lie Appalachian moun tains it is I at work beyond the point where they end In the south west. There is a pressure beneath a body of land In this region that has developed to a fault near the Missis sippi : nd occasionally there is a slip. Just a little over a hundred years ago there was such a slip and the trouble that it caused is still spoken of as the New Madrid earthquake. There are Indications that these slips have oc curred in the past at intervals of about a century and another is now regarded as being due. Yet even this does not develop the finer points of earthquake forecasting. Dr. Frank A. Perret figured many more elements than these when he warned the public to keep away from i Sicily Just before the Messina dlsas- SEPTEMBER 14, 1915. POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING For Recorder of Deeds and Clerk of the Orphans' Court FRANK J. ROTH » jSE! iss* jsm ter. He was assistant director of the Mount Vesuvius observatory and the great American authority on Mediter ranean disturbances. He knew of the fault in southern Italy and that con ditions were such as to put it under great strain. Knowing such a condition to exist the scien'tist looks for the last straw that may cause the break. A very high tide on a beach may pile up a weight of water that will cause a slip at the fault. Heavy snows may have the same effect. High or low barom eter may have a very great deal to do with the increasing or relaxing of the strain. Then there is the gravity pull of the planets when they are in certain positions. It may be possible to foresee a time when there will be a heavy snow lying along a coast, when there is a high tide piled upon it, when there is a high barometric pressure, when the planets with a great gravity pull are on the other side of the world. This would be a remarkable combination in assistance of an area that is seek ing to slip a little deeper down a jagged fault. If it is near the slipping point it will reach it under these con ditions. Mr. Perret foresaw such a conspiracy of circumstances at the time he issued his warning. The tendency on the part of the earth being studied, may be to be pushed up instead of down. Then the most favorable conditions would be the reverse of the other case. The time of the break would be when the area was lightest, it would be when the land is dry, when the tide is out, when the pressure is low, when the planets are on the same side of the world as is the region affected. Then i the internal forces that are seeking to lift the region would have the light est load and would be most likely to accomplish their end. The scientists say in general that an earthquake is likely to occur again in any region where one has been known in the past. Those living in such a region should, for instance, build houses that are earthquake proof. They should run into the open when they feel the first quake.
