Staff Correspondent) TOKIO, Jan. 15.—The fact that breakfast fires had not been started this morning probably saved reconstructed Tokio from another disastrous fire, when another terrific earthquake early today shook the same territory devastated four months ago. Communications were disrupted in all directions by the force of the shock, three trains en route from Gomemba to Tokio were derailed and the water supply cut off. The rail service between Tokio and Osaka was also disrupted, but the extent of the damage to this important connection over which relief and reconstruction supplies are still being carried has not yet been reported.

It was a sickening thunder, and was followed for several minutes by secondary shocks. Breaking glass, shouts of excited Japanese and crashing stones as they fell from larger buildings, created an almost immediate din that lasted until the temblor had subsided.

PUSH COOLIDGE Industrial Amalgamation Necessary to Avoid An Early Smash BERLIN, Jan. 15.—"E will go to smash within six minutes unless France and Germany agree together and form an industrial amalgamation in which France interests would be engaged in halt of Germany's recovery prosperity instead of German ruin." This declaration was made International News Service to Arnold Reichberg, German dustrialist, who has just returned from Paris where he had talks with Premier Point Marshal Foch and others, his famous "thirty percent point" was debated in his presence in French chamber of deputies. Herr Reichberg, who was merely an aide to the ex-Prince continued his remarks "Such an agreement cannot brot about by the prosecutor by Hugo Stinnes and fellow magnates who merely want to make a profitable business and who have not yet realized Germany is in no position to release terms but lies prostrate France's money." "It is better to accept a deal and amicable business solution that is obtainable instead of courting new strangling Prune from France." Premier Pointcare's elite sentence to me at the end of conference was: "I want not peaceful relations with Germany but friendly relations — friendly relations." The whole question of war peace with France resolves it into a duel between Stinnes Reichberg. The latter is bitterly hated by the nationalists entire nationalist and industrial press has termed him a "tror or." Yet the facts are: Reichberg is the only Gerber who has branched a reparative plan that Premier Pointcare even listened to. Non-partisans concede that appears to be only plan by which Germany save that which is salvaged for the war's wreckage. For five years with merchant realism and logic, Reichberger opposed the policy of Jeremiah heavy industry. A year ago he predicted the failure of Perman resistance, his was a very crying in the wilderness. The first shock was at 5:45 a.m., just as dawn came. It was a sickening thud, and was followed for several minutes by secondary shocks. Breaking glass, shouts of excited Japanese and crashing stones as they fell from larger buildings, created an almost immediate din that lasted until the temblor had subsided. With the horror of the September disaster still pollenantly fresh in their minds, terror gripped the greater part of the population, altho the panic was not so great as might have been expected. The rising sun supplied light to replace the city lights, which were cut off with the first shock, and this served to allay nervousness. Kitagata, near Yokohama, is reported to have suffered severe damage and the casualties so far reported centered mostly in that town. FIRE RAGING AT SUGAMO LONDON, Jan. 15—Fire is raging at Sugamo, a suburb of Tokio, following new earthquake shocks, said a dispatch from Osaka today. A train fell into a river.

Plan Heavy Amusement Taxes to Provide Soldiers' Bonus WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—Congressional advocates of the soldiers' bonus today held an olive branch to their administration opponents. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, Republican "whip" of the Senate, proposed a bonus revenue measure to meet the objections raised by President Coolidge and other administration leaders. It would raise the funds for the bonus by a heavy increase in amusement taxes. The Curtis measure would be attached to the Mellon tax bill with the understanding that the tax bill will have the right way over the bonus. By this procedure, Senate Republican leaders hope to eliminate all objecions to the bonus by providing advance a means for its payment. The Curtis plan would release all taxes on amusement admissions up to 25c; but heavily increase the taxes on admission above that price. It was estimated the plan would raise at least $80,000,000 a year, which in the opinion of bonus advocates, would be sufficient to meet all payments.

FOR BEMOCO CONVENTION New York and Frisco in Competition for Big Conclave WASHINGTON, Jan. 15:—The 1924 Democratic convention will be held in New York city, the Democratic national committee decided this afternoon, after a hectic session during which three ballots were necessary to decide. On the third ballot, New York was returned winner. The vote was: New York, 57; San Francisco, 10, and St. Louis 6. By GEORGE R. HOLMES I.N.S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 15:—The democratic national committee met here today to set a time and place for the 1924 convention, confused by an unprecedented array of tempting offers. Bidding for the convention between Chicago, San Francisco, New York and St. Louis has become spirited. Reports that the contest had narrowed down to a contest between Chicago and St. Louis, stirred the representatives of New York and San Francisco to action. When the committee went into session this morning the bids of the two coast cities were leading. The committee itself, composed of two men and women from each state and territory, appeared to be in a quandary. Supporters of William G. McAdoo, who are nearly if not quite, in control of the committee, were staunchly opposed to taking the convention to New York because it is the hair of the Tammym tiger and considered anti-McAdoo territory. On other hand, the McAdoo people were sensible to the financial advantages of the New York offer. Likewise, the San Francisco offer was tempting battles McAdoo himself advised his friends he would like to see the convention there. But a canvass of sentiment among members revealed a disinclination to go to the Pacific coast for the reason that the 1920 convention was held there and it has always been party policy to move around the country. In this situation, Chicago and St. Louis representatives were putting forth their respective clauses as the ideal compromise between the Atlantic and the Pac- NO.

WHEELER IN CONFESSION In the presence of Inspectors Jarvis, Lowe and Rose and Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, J. L. Findlay, messenger, last night after hours of grilling, confessed to having been implicated with Charles R. Wheeler, clerk, and J. R. Abernathy, former Anaheim grammar school superintendent, with having appropriated nearly $25,000 in currency, etc., from a pouch of registered mail on the evening of Dec. 27. Wheeler and Abernathy deny any guilt, according to Whitaker, and declare Findlay is lying. Findlay has been locked up in the county jail; and the other two also are in confinement. All three are married men with families. Findlay is 55 and resides at 820 S. Philadelphia st. Abernathy told the inspectors he was 38, and lives at 502 N. Zeyn st. Wheeler is 36 and his residence is 207 Wilhelmina st. According to the inspectors, the alleged crime had been planned months in advance, but the favorable occasion did not present itself until Dec. 27, when the mail was registered by Wheeler to go out on the Santa Fe train leaving Anaheim at 5:39 p.m. The alleged robbery was discovered the next morning. Abernathy formerly was an unsuccessful candidate for county supt. of schools, and Findlay was his campaign manager. In his signed confession, which was taken down by a stenographer, Findley declared he had been induced to enter the alleged conspiracy by the other two.
