Quakes Continue To Shake Panay Island Report Quakes For Fourth Day In Row Manila, Jan. 28 — (UP) — Earthquake shocks shook Panay Island for the fourth day in succession today and one new death was reported from Capiz, in the northern part of the Island, bringing the death toll to 22. The new shocks were felt in the Panay capital of Iloilo, half destroyed by 30 tremors in three days; Capiz, on the northern Panay; Boac, Marinduke Island, south of Luzon, and on Romblon Island, north of Panay in the Sibuyan Sea. Seven minor tremors shook Iloilo yesterday while -government ex- | perts were trying to calm the population by explaining the cause of the earthquakes as a subterranean slipping of the earth's crust. The Philippine weather bureau announced that four places on three different Islands felt the new tremors, which ranged from moderate to heavy intensity. It was announced officially that a heavy shock hit Romblon Island, due north of Panay, in the Sibuyan Sea at 1:14 a.m. today. Moderate shocks were felt at Capiz, a northern Panay port, at 2:01 a.m.; at Boac, Marinduke Island, at 1:00 a.m., and at Iloilo at 1:55 a.m. The Iloilo provincial board wired Malacinan palace that the situation in that province as a result of the earthquake was “not so alarming, with the exception of Iloilo City.’’ The message said there were only two persons reported dead in the entire province outside the metropolitan area. It added that relief steps were being taken. A survey showed that 15 churches on Panay, mostly built by the Spanish conquerers, were destroyed with damage amounting to $3,500,000. Although Iloilo remained jittery, the northern suburb of Jaro began a seven-day charity festival amid the town’s rubble. An estimated 50,000 witnessed a civic parade led 1 by a beauty queen and later attended a dance. o The state of Missouri has more than 8,000 miles of railroad, 1927 miles of navigable waters and boasts 14,664 miles of improved state highways.
