QUAKE TOLL GIG* (Continued From Page 1) The Osaka Mainichi today established an airplane news service from Tokio. Its correspondent brought the latest eye-witness stories' of the disaster. According to the Mainichi, the first appalling earth shock occurred at noon Saturday, to be followed by more than ten others in rapid succession. Every dwelling house in the eapitol was either completely destroyed or partially damaged. Before the first rumblings of the quake had died away, people poured from the houses, filling the streets and other open spaces. Some dragged others who were injured by falling masonry and timbers. They left behind, in ruined homes, many who could not be reached, whose cries followed them as they fled. Then successive shocks drowned these vain calls for help and added fresh victims to the toll of dead and dying. The shocks continued until sundown. To the horror of the successive quakes was added the even greater terror of fires which sprang up on every side Little groups of refugees, in some instances, found themselves hemmed in by flaming blocks of buildings and were burned to death by hundreds. Persons trapped in dwellings which lay in the paths of the spreading flames had no chance. Strong Wind Fans Flames A strong wind fanned the fires until every part of the eapitol, which has fifteen wards, was ablaze. It was impossible to get the outbreak under control. To add to the disaster, the water supply failed. When the Mainichi’s airplane correspondent left last evening, nearly all the government offices had been burned, including the ministry of the interior and police headquarters. The correspondent estimated 200,000 houses were reduced to ashes, with many others threatened. The city hall was burning and bodies of many workmen lay piled in the streets in this vicinity. Hundreds of others were injured in the collapse of the government printing offices. Six hundred workers were killed when the earth shocks tumbled the huge structure that housed the Nihondenski electrical works. As the correspondent flew southwestward to Osaka, he looked hack upon the flaming capital. Great rings of fire were visible for many miles, and it is estimated, consequently, the full extent of the disaster has not yet been reached. The plight of Yokohama, port city, a short distance from Tokio, is described as pitiful. More than 100.000 perished there, a great tidal wave adding its terrors and death to all those of the quake and flame. Hospitals Burn The city’s hospitals were burned down and medical supplies and instruments destroyed. The Hakon district was devastated, and it is reported that many foreigners there were killed. A wireless messafe from the Korea Maru in Yokahama harbor says an expedition landed by that vessel found scenes of indescriable horror, with heaps of dead everywhere.

Several of Japan's volcanos are reported in active eruption, following the earthquakes. Eight thousand casualties occurred near Mt. Fuji when workers were buried in the ruins of the famous thread factories. The Grand Hotel at Tokio and the Yokohama Specie bank were destroyed. Many thousands are living in parks and others have sought outlying districts. The greatest suffering followed the collapse of buildings in the first earth shock which the inrushlng waters in a tidal wave drowned scores caught by falling timbers.

M’CRAY AVERS FARM VALUES WILL MOUNT Executive Urges Strict Economy on Part of Young Landowners,

“What the farmer needs is markets. He doesn't want sympathy. “Although it may sound criminal, nothing would be better for the price of wheat than to dump a million bushels in the Atlantic Ocean today. “Within three years farming will be on a highly paying basis." These statements are from Governor Warren T. McCray, who faced nearly 100 creditors last Friday and told them that at the present time he is unable to meet his liabilities, estimated conservatively at $2,000,000. The Governor may give up farming; may give up his 15,000 acres of land and 1,200 head of prize cattle in an effort to straighten out his financial difficulties which he blames on the deflation of farm prices, and the depression of land values. “Until the gravity of the present farm situation has cleared,” he said in an interview, “there is but one thing for the young farmer to do: Work day and night, practice rigid economy, diversify farming, minimize Improvements and rota/te crops.” Wants Decent Price Although optimistic of the future in farming, McCray admits the present plight of farmers la critical. “His only desire is to sell his products at a decent price. The farmer has no recourse to the curtailment of production, as other producers have. He may decide to decrease his production 20 per cent. The elements may do the same, and the farmer suffers. “The only difference between a young farmer’s problems and those of an old farmer is this: The young fanner has less experience and judgment. Therefore, the young farmer’s problem is a more serious one. “I would emphatically advise any young farmer to reduce his farm improvements to the liar os t necessities. Make the old buildings, the old machinery, and everything that Is capable of use, outlive itself, and within two or three years the young farmer will be able to restock what he needs. Grain Demands Increase “The present inequality of profit never win endure. There is bound to be a shift and it is coming soon. There never was a more opportune time for the farmer than now. “Right now there is but a slight demand for wheat. The opening of foreign trade, especially with Germany, will provide a means of stimulating the demand the fanner will profit. Add one cent to the price of a loaf of bread as sold on the market.

Hundreds of children are among the injured and many of these have not been fed for two days. Wails and cries fill the air with few to go to the relief of the stricken. The landing party was unable to proceed to Tokio. It was informed officially the capital still was burning but the fires are believed lessening somewhat, a major portion of the city being already destroyed. One report from Tokio'says the Capitol has been reduced to nothing more than an unimportant aggregation of villages, without hope of recovering its former grandeur for decades.

of the middleman, and the price of wheat will advance 65 cents a bushel. “Although it may sound criminal, nothing would be better for the price of wheat than to dump a million bushels Into the ocean today. The effect would be startling. “That would be the revolutionary way of bettering prices “The same effect will have been accomplished naturally within probably three years, and the drastic means will not be necessary. The young farmer will profit by his present losses because they will be valuable experience for the next crisis. Tel! every yound land owner to hold his possessions now above all times. Land values are at the point of making perceptible gains.” Prior to his election as chief executive of Indiana, McCray was considered one of the richest land owners in the State. Today it Is doubted by many if his vast land resources will cover his indebtedness. KLANSMEN ATTEND TRI-STATE FEASI Undaunted by rain, hundreds of Indianapolis Klansmen left by automobile, steam and electric lines for a Tri-State Klan “love feast” at Rushvllle ltoday. Thousands of Klansmen from Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky had assembled at the old Rush County fairground before noon, according to reports from that city. In spite of Increment weather 100,000 were expected. Tents were provided for shelter. “The Old Man” was scheduled to speak this afternoon. Other high officials were on the program. No parade was planned, but several cities brought bands, and groups were being entertained by concerts. Hospital Prowlers Seen Prowlers were again seen near the nurses home at the Robert Long hospital during the night. Police failed to find and one. Recently a man left part of his hair in the hands of a nurse, -jhen she discovered him half way in the window

Employer’s Tribute to Labor

By C. G. STOLL (Works Manager of the Mammoth Hawthorne Plant of the Western Electric Company, Under Whose Personal Supervision an Army of 33,700 Workers Is Employed.) CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Labor Day Is the nation’s annual tribute to the great human effort that is behind all its progress. We may talk of the wonders of science, of the great mechanisms that have come to be part of our daily life, but In pausing ing once a year in honor of the workingman, we are impressed with the fact that without human effort all that we know as civilization would be impossible. The progress of our race has been

In our eager desire to honor the leaders of civilization, we muswiot lose sight of the fact that without the cooperation of the great army of “workers” we could never have entered upon this era of large accomplishments. The man in the ranks may not have discovered the great forces behind modern accomplishments and he may not understand their application, but without him they would not have been realized upon. Nothing exemplifies this better than the electrical Industry. Without the thousands of men and women who have helped to change the plaything of a scientific

GREECE MAY BE JOINED BY MS IN ITALIAN ROW Move Will Come if Troops Are Mobilized in Italy, Belgrade Government Says, Ry United Press ATHENS, Sept. 3. —Jugo-Slavia will take “designated measures’’ In the event Italy orders mobilization of her military forces or lands troops at Epirus, Belgrade has informed the Greek government, it was made known today. Belgrade and Athens are in constant touch regarding the Italian moves in the Imbroglio precipitated by the assassination of five Italian officials In Greece and the Greek refusal to submit to all conditions of Premier Mussolini's ultimatum. Jugo-Slavia will regard Italian attempts to permanently occupy Corfu, key to the Adriatic as an Invasion of Jugo-Slavlan rights, it Is understood, as such occupation would amount to bottling up the leading member of the tittle entente. COMMITTEE WILL TAKE UP NI’CRAY SETTLEMENT PLAN Feasibility of Governor McQray’s plan to create a trust of his asssets in order to take care of obligations totaling somewhat In excess of $2,000,000, will be discussed at a meeting Tuesday of the temporary creditors' committee appointed last Friday. The committee will report its conclusions to a conference of creditors at the Severin Friday. The Governor has placed his assets at slightly more than $3,000,000, which would allow him a comfortable margin, following the settlement of his debts. Should all McCray's creditors sign the agreement drafted by his legal counsel, It would allow him two years in which to meet the obligations. The investigation, it is stated, is merely to clarify some of the legal obstacles that might appear. If the Governor's trust proposal materializes he will be In possesion of more than $300,000 after meetlnng all obligations. About the same amount would be saved If Mrs. McCray should claim her one-third, a wife's legal share. Mrs. McCray has waived her legal rights In order to expediate the payment of the obligations. McCray has based the major part of his hopes to meet his obligations a herd of about 1,200 registered Hereford cattle, most of which are breeders. He has estimated the herd to be worth $600,000 as breeders. A western stockman has wired McCray asking hirrr to place his price on the herd. As beef stock the herd would not bring more than $150,000. The trust scheme, if consummated, will allow McCray to realize the full value of the herd, as breeding stock. The committee is composed of Linton A. Cox and Elmer W. Stout of Indianapolis, W. R. Arnold of Kokomo. F. M. Cutshall of Ft. Wayne and Charles Hubbard of Martinsville.
