Thf* entire city of Karatagh, In Bok
hara, has been destroyed by a terrible
earthquake, which was followed by a
mountain slide. In which the entire •
population, numbering 15,000. wetfe |
burled. Only two persons survived the1
disaster, these being the governor of I
Karatagh and Ills mother. • |
Details of the convulsions are as yeti
unavailable, but the news so far re-1
eelved leads to f the belief that a great ‘
chasm opened in the valley where the
dti stood and that almost the whole
vicinity wn* engulfed In a pile of ruin*.
There Is reason to believe that other
fit!-’? and towns In the neighborhood
of Bokhara were badly shaken by the
same convulsion of nature, and It Is
expected that the full tale of death will
retch a total which v»ll mark the dis
aster us one of the greatest In the his
tory of all Asia-Minor,

An official - order was promulgated
Wednesday, In which the commission
makes effective on January 1 an anti

national law.
At the same time an order was Is
sued prohibiting the free transportation

The anti-pass order forbids Ihe Issue

the national act. and makes- the same
exceptions, notably, employees of rail
roads, ministers, charity workers, etc.
Coming so swiftly on the heels of the
filing of the pass lists of the Georgia
railroads. It may be that these lists
were a compelling factor In the action.
Immediately after tho passage of the
Candler act. rumors were current In

had full power to abrogate passes and
would probably exercise this power In a
short time. With a few typewritten
lines, the commission hss .accompllshed

Work r.n the extension of the Capitol
avenue street car line from Jefferson
street to Haygood avenue will be re
sumed nt once and the mandamus pro.
-ceding* Instituted to compel n com
pletion of tne line will be w ithdrawn.
The announcement that the work
would be alarted on the line at once
wa* made Wedneeday morning by
President Arkwright after a confer
ence with Aldermen Qullllan and Hol
land and Councilman Huddleston and
Martin front the Second ward, uiton
condition that tbe suit Inatltuted
against the company should be with
drawn.
Folluwlng Ihe statement of President
Arkwright, Attorney James L. Key,
who filed the suit for the petitioners,
was seen and he stated that us hla only
object was to get result!) he would
withdraw the suit without objection.
The differences between the street
car company and tho citizens living In
the nelghborhopd of the proposed ex
tension arose when the company sud
denly stopped work on the new line
from Baas street to Haygood avenue
and began taking down its wires. The
company had previously secured a
franchise to build Its line on this street
and the rltlxens sought to so compel
Its completion by law.
A temporary Injunction was secured
from Judge Kills of the superior court
to prevent the wire* from being re
moved and a mandamus suit was filed
to compel the street railway company
to complete the extension.
President Arkwright stated that the
company is willing to build the line If
the people desire It, but that the work
was stopped because the extension,
which would only cover a distance of
about two blocks, was deemed unnec
essary.
