SECOND EARTHQUAKE HITS fi FIFTEEN HUNDRED DEAD 111 JUST ONE IITTLE VILU6E Many Little Towns Damaged and One Reported as Hav= ing Disappeared PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN WHEN ANOTHER FORECAST Schools and Other Public Build ings at Poignano Are in Ruins and Tho- s e of Neighbor ing Town s Greatly Damaged. (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.

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. .Reports received here from south ern cotton mill owners who have made a tour of Europe say that cot ALLIES RETAIN GRIP ON TURKS* CAPITAL’ i tvf -• • •• ;..j !!_ Refet l'asha, new governor of ' I Constantinople. \ i Refet Pasha, new governor, has entered Constantinople suppressed the Turkish senate, and heads the |civil administration, but the allies refuse to loose their military grip ion the city; R.

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. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 15, 1922.

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.” NEW BRUNSWICK MAN TO BE STRONG WITNESS AGAINST MRS.
