(By Associated Press.)
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 14.—The
number of known dead as the re
sult of the earthquakes as shown
by reports so far received by
the minister of the interior is
886 and 2,140 were injured.
These figures by no means cov
er all the casualties however, for
from some places no details have
been available.
Slight shocks today threw the
populace into a panic and the
prediction by forecasters that
the earth tremors will be re
peated about December 2nd caus
ed more general alarm.
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 14.—Chile
was again visited by earth shocks
late last night. Severe tremors were
felt at LaSerena, capital of the pro
vince of Coquiipbo, at 11 o’clock, and
half an hour earlier the seaport city
of Constitucion, province of Maule,
was shaken, according to advices re
ceived here by the - National Tele
graph.
The town of Carrizal, consisting
mostly of underground dwellings and
copper mines, is reported to have dis
appeared, but no mention of the loss
of life is made. The inhabitants
number about 1,200 and there are
350 other persons living at the port
of Carrizal.
Advices from Antofagasta filed at
9:30 last night said a strong earth
shock has been felt at Taltal, a sea
port of several thousand population,'
only a few miles from Antofagasta.
LaSerena was one of the cities se
verely stricken by three earthquakes
of last Saturday morning, which took
a toll of more than 1,500 lives in va
rious parts of Chile.
The extent of casualties and prop
erty damage wrought by the tremors
and tidal waves three days ago has
not yet been fully learned, as com
munication lines still are out of order
in many regions.
' r Te mayor of Antofagasta has re
ccived a message from the mayor -f
Vi- rna, a villa.*e u the proving of
Ataacama, giving the first news of
the effect of the earthquake in that
town. There was no loss of life at
Vicuna, the mayor said, but public
buildings, churches and the telegraph
office were badly damaged. The com
mercial quarter is in ruins and so are
the schools. The hospital was dam
aged and the dispensary destroyed.
Schools and public buildings at Pai
guano also are in ruins and neigh
boring villages in the province of Co_
quimbo have been greatly damaged.
The Pacific ocean seems not yet to
have fully recovered its equilibrium
as the result of last week’s terrific
disturbances, or else there have been
some new movements under the
ocean bed. Antofagasta reports say
that yesterday the sea ebbed and
then came booming back upon the
shore three times, much in the same
strange manner of the tidal waves of
last Saturday.
The entire diplomatic corps called
on the foreign minister to tender
their condolences to the stricken na
tion. A message of sympathy was
received by president Alessandri
from President Alvear of the Argen
tine republic.
depots of thm American
y&M!tin£ Company at%,nrrizal were
carried away when that town disap
peared in the disaster of last Satur
day morning, according to national
telegraph advices.
Operators of the wire coach sta
tion near Antofagasta, missing since
the tidal wave of Saturday morning,
have been located in the hills, whence
they fled. They were without food.
Outlawry has broken out at Val
lenar. Bullets were flying there yes
terday evening, according to Nation
al Telegraph advices. ,
President Allessandri will leave to
morrow for Valpariso. where he will
embark on the battleship Almirante
Latorre for a visit to the ports
stricken by the earth shocks. He

REPORTS HAVE IT
MRS. LYTLE MAY
YIELD LEGACIES
PROBATION WATSON WILL
AGAIN DELAYED—NEW ‘
CONTEST LOOMING
Thomson, Ga., Nov. 14.—-Probation
of the will of the late Senator Thom
as E. Watson, to have taken place
here before Ordinary Lokey, was
postponed until Thursday upon agree
ment of counsel.
No reason for such action was giv
en, but it is understood such steps
were taken because Mrs. Alice Louise
Lytle, one of the beneficiaries, is at
an Augusta hospital, where she has
■ been for some time, suffering from
a nervous breakdown, but probably
will be able to attend court here
Thursday.
It is generally rumored among par
ties in a position to know, that Mrs.
Lytle has made a formal surrender
of her legacies under the will, with
the exception of one farm consisting
of 100 acres. Papers to this effect,
it is stated, have been filed with the
Ordinary.
Mrs. Lytle was bequeathed two
farms, a cottage in Thomson and the
sum of S3O per week for the balance
of her life, or as long as she remains
single, it has been stated upon good
authority. All of this ,with the ex
ception of the one farm of 100 acres,
has been surrendered, it is generally
admitted by those in a position to
know.
It is understood that Mrs. Thomas
E. Watson probably will contest the
bequest to Mrs. Julia Cliatt, the only
sister of the late senator.
Mrs. Watson claims, it is under
stood, that there is very little ready
cash in the bank, and she will not be
able to pay Mrs. Cliatt S3O per week,
as provided in the will.
This amount shall be paid to Mrs.
Cliatt during her lifetime,the will
provides.
Mrs. Watson is willing, however,
it is understood, to give Mrs. Cliatt
real estate in place of the S3O per
week bequest.
The bulk of the estate is represent,
ed in large realty holdings through
out the county, consisting chiefly of
farms.
GREEKS ONE HUNDRED
PER CENT IN RED CROSS’
BRUNSWICK ROLL CALL
The Greek population of the city,
under the capable leadership of
George Lyons, have joined the Red
Cross in the 1923 Roll Call practical
ly one hundred per cent strong. This
is particularly gratifying in view of
the fact that the Greeks have just
closed a drive among themselves for
funds to aid in relief work in Greece,
and a large sum was sent away re
cently for that purpose.
UNPRECEDENTED INDUSTRIAL
PERIOD JUST AHEAD IN SOUTH
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14.—The great
est industrial opportunity ever en
joyed by any people at any time is
now just in front of the South in con
nection with expansion of the cotton
mill industry, in the opinion of cot
ton mill men here and in other sec
tions of the South who have discuss
ed the subject in reports received
here. Further building of the indus
try in New England or the east, the
mill men say, is out of the question
and growth along this line within the
next few years will be in the South
or in foreign countries.

(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, Nov. 14.—Lewis Kanter
was arrested here by special depart
ment of justice agents under orders
of Attorney General Daugherty in
connection with alleged liquor con
spiracy said to center in Savannah,
Ga.
The arrest of a banker and many
others will be made in the south im
the case, it was said. s'
ton mill interests in England, Bel
gium, Bohemia, Italy and Japan are
just now making a tremendous effort
to get the lion’s share of textile busi
ness following the World War. In
crease demands for goods have come,
mill men here say, but due to ex_
change conditions American mills
cannot sell their goods on an equal
basis with the foreign mills in those
countries of the world. However, .it
is pointed out here, the exchange is
bound to right itself within two or
three years and it is then the expand
ing cotton mill business of the South
will have its greatest opportunity.
The southern mills, they say, will be
in line for taking up the tremendous
export business.

SEVERAL DAYS
BEFORE FIGURES
CAN BE TOTALED
BUT RED CROSS ROLL CALL
HERE WAS A GREAT
SUCCESS
At thp close of the third day of the
1923 Roll Call for Glynn county, the
results are more than encouraging.
While it will be impossible to give
even an estimate of the total amount
raised for a few days, yet since there
are many returns still to be made,
the general chairman and her able
assistants were jubilant last night
over the result thus far reached, and
are confident of making, if not ex
ceeding, the goal set by the chair
man.
“Zero Hour” Sunday afternoon was
a revelation to everyone, as practi
cally the entire population of the city
remained home, awaiting the solici
tors and were ready and eager to join
the Red Cross when they were ap-
proached.
Through misunderstanding or ill
ness on the part of some of the
workers certain sections of the city
were not canvassed on Sunday, and
a “follow-up” campaign is being
planned to cover these. In the mean
time, many who were missed Sunday
have voluntarily sought out one of
the chairmen and turned in their
membership and it is requested that
as many as possible who have not yet
had an opportunity to join the Red
Cross, call upon either Mrs. W. S.
Nathan, general chairman, or one of
the district chairmen, and the mem
bership will be gladly taken.
Tim committee has also been un
ab# to aateTo
afid industries for firm subscriptions,
'as subscribers who have so generous
ly donated in the past, but it is ex
pectedo that these will be reached by
the end of this week and the chair
man hopes by that time to report
Glynn county “over the top.”

FREIGHT WRECK ON
A.C.L. LAST U
Four Cars Turned Completely
Over and Two Othrs Off
Track—Accident Occured a
Few Miles From City.
Shortly after 7 o’clock last night
the local freight of the Atlantic
Coast line from Wayeross met dis
aster near the city when a wood car
of the Yaryan plant, the seventh of
a string of forty-four, jumped the
track and to@k five others-.-With it,-
four of these keing Cars loaded with
wood and these turned completely
over.
Engineer William Har iy and Con
ductor Grissett were in charge of the
train. As the engine did not leave
the track and neither did the rear
end cars, no one was injured, but the
wreck was complete. Yardmaster
Calnan left here immediately upon
receiving a report and a wrecking
train has been ordered to the scene
from Wayeross, In the meantime,
both the Southern and Coast Line
will be compelled to use the A., B.
& A. tracks in and out of the city
until the wreckage is cleared away,
which will likely be done during the
next twelve hours. At the time the
car jumped the track the train was
Aiaking only eight miles an hour and j
this accounts for the fact that the
wreck was not a more serious affair.
