brought word of 250 known deaths
in a terrific earthquake early today
which rocked the Izu peninsula and
also injured at least 1,030 persons.
No foreigners were believed killed
or injured..
Fearing further shocks, 30,0001
persons were camped in what shel-
ter they could find, grateful for
food, supplies, and medical aid
hastily provided by the army and
Red Cross volunteers from nearby
cities.

broken reservoirs added to the
havoc and confusion.
Warned, however, by 16 days of
preliminary tremors, most people
had extinguished fires in their
homes before sleeping, and there-
fore escaped a conflagration, such
as that which, added its horror to
the earthquake of 1923, destroyed
10,000 buildings in Tokio and killed
approximately 100,000 persons.
The quake w s most severe near
Mishima and Numazu, in an area
15 miles long and five to ten miles
wide and about 125 miles southeast
of Tokio.
Violence was concentrated at
Nirayama village where 74 lives
were lost. Twenty-two perished at
Nagoka, a hot springs resort, and
80 others died in villages nearby.
To the north, larger towns suf-
fered less severely, four lives being
lost at Mishama, three at Atami,
and one at Numazu. Fire which
followed in these towns were ex-
tinguished without great damage.
A portion of the great Panna tun-
nel between Atami and Numazu
collapsed, causing fear that many
laborers were caught in the bore'
which was nearing completion after
10 year's work. Four bodies were
recovered and the tunnel, costing
$10,000,000 was believed badly dam-
aged.

Green Will Block Selection of

for Labor Secretary.
LISTS ACCEPTABLE MEN
(By Associated Press)
; Nov. 26. - The
same opposition which has gained
credit for keeping William N. Doak
out of the post of labor secretary
at the beginning of the Hoover ad-'
ministration was recorded against
him today.
Because Doak, legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, is not affiliated
with the American federation of
labor, William Green told President
Hoover Tuesday his appointment
would be opposed. Doak is figured
as the favorite in discussion of the
post, which will fall vacant next
week when James J. Davis takes his
seat as senator from Pennsylvania.
The federation president also
registered opposition to elevation
of Robe Carl White, assistant secre-
tary, who is understood not to be a
member of the labor organization.
Green maintained the federation
felt the secretary of labor should
come from its ranks. He pointed
out that both Davis and William B.
Wilson, who held the office before
him, were members of his organ-
ization.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. -- The
three-way drive in congress toward
the solution of the unemployment
problem took shape on Thanksgiv-
in= Eve in a proposal to further
redistrict immigraton, increase fed-
eral highway aids, and to provide
means for expediting the govern-
ment building program.
The suggestion that the country
was willing to give up the one per
cent income tax reduction this year
to permit the government to use
the money in giving jobs on its
work was made by chairman Haw-
ley of thze House Ways and Means
committee. His committee originate
all revenue raising legislation.
At the same time, Chairman
Johnson, of the House Immigration
committee, will propose permanent
immigration restriction legislation
and predicted the United States
would never vote again to permit~
the arrival of immigrants who
would interfere with the economic
conditions.
A plan to allow the federal gov-
ernment to match dollar for dollar
all the funds spent before next July
1 by states for road construction
was drafted by Chairman Dowell
of the House Roads committee with
a view to early action at the De-
cember session.
Dowell said the federal govern-
ment could lend its greatest in-
direct relief of unemployment
through the roads program.
Another relief measure, that of'
Representative AswcllsDem., La., to
provide a $60,000,000 feed and fer-
tilizer loan fund for drought-stric-
ken farmers, is to be considered by
the House Agriculture committee
next week.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Thanksgiv-

clear, cold skies.
The storms that had held up
traffic, crippdled communication
lines and caused several deaths had

over the north central states and

In the wake of the storms, ther-

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-A "gen-
eral," a "king," and a person
masquerading under the intrigu-
ing sobriquet, "Mr. G 1 a d,"
crossed one another's paths to-
day, Mr. Glad coming off with
the honors, largely because he
had sandwiches.
The "general" was Jacob S.
Coxey, who gained his rank
a long time ago as the head of
"Coxey's Army." He has found
an ally in Daniel O'Brien, who
styles himself "king" of hoboes.
The general and the king were
exhorting a crowd of unemployed
today urging them to gather
each day for four hours outside
the city hall.
"You'll frighten those fellows,
in the city hall, to death, and
then we'll get something done,"
Coxey said.
In a moment, however, he
found his audience vanishing.!
The listeners had espied a truck
moving along the street and it
bore the sign:
"Mr. Glad - Sandwiches and
coffee for the unemployed."
King O'Brien observed the
disappearance of the audience
sadly. "It's that coffee," he ru-
minated, "and them sandwiches."I

In 1871, Dr. Hutchins received the
Ph.B. degree from the University.
He wvas given an L.L.D. degree by
the University of Wisconsin;rWes-

California in 1918; and the Univer-

MOSCOW, Nov. 27. - One by
one, eight prominent Russian en-
gineers are throwing away their
chances for life in a counter-
revolutionary drama which is the
sensation of the communist world.
While snow is packed in the
cold streets of the Red capitol,
while the radio blares forth their
testimony to far regions of the
Soviet domain, while movie cam-
eras grind and four judges smoke
cigarettes, these eight are confess-
ing fully to the charges placed up-
on them in indictment last month,
that they conspired with certain
French and British interests for
the overthrow of the promninent
regime.
Ramzin Questioned.
As the trial began yesterday,
Prof. Leonid Ramzin, appeared as
chief of the plotters, told full de-
tails of the scheme which was al-
leged to involve former President
Raymond Poincare, foreign minis-
ter of France, the French and Brit-
ish staffs, Polish and Roumanian
soldiers, and others, and he asked
no mercy, though he repented.
Just as frank today and equally
repentent was Victor Alexis Lar-
ichez, second in command. Like
Ramzin, he "told everything."
A third, Prof. Ivan Kalinikoz, al-
so told his story today, which was
substantially the -same related by
the other two and he told when
the indictments were made public
last month.
All Agree on Plot.
Late tonight the fourth, Prof.
Nikolai Chainovsky, took the stand
and will continue his confession
tomorrow. He verified the testi-
mony of the proceeding three and
admitted working to slow down
Soviet building concessions.
It was' a wide-spread plot, as the
defendants described it, to bring
intervention from France and Eng-
land with the neighboring coun-
tries of Poland and Jugo-Slavia; to
sabotage Soviet industry, thereby
slowing them down and raising the
cost of production, and otherwise
bring discontent among the Soviet
public so as to make the overthrow
of the proletarian dictatorship
easy.
The principle blame, however,
was laid upon French officials and
capitalists, and the defendant even
named by initial, those connected
with a "certain institution" in Mos-
cow. The French embassy was the
only institution of that country in
the red capitol.

day of all the year is little enough to us, without distinction of race or

We have passed through a year of business and industrial stagna-,

spiritual strengthening. We have many problems to solve but the good
sense of the American people has always been equal to their solution.
