Mrs, Walter McCutcheon, of Eureka, was fatally injured when the chimney of her home toppled and crashed through the roof upon the family. Mr. McCutcheon suffered a broken leg and their three year old daughter, Louise, was slightly injured. The other known victim was a bak- ery employe whose wrists were broken when the temblor jarred two bread trays together. The quake was reported “very strong” in Klamath Falls, Ore. 155 miles northeast of Eureka, and was felt in San Francisco, 285 miles to the south. Redding, 85 miles east of Eureka, reported it “severe.” A number of shacks in Arcata, a village seven miles from Eureka, were razed. Four distinct shocks were felt here. Property damage in Eureka was confined largely to fallen chimneys, broken water mains which flooded ‘basements of homes, broken windows and crockery. Old residents here eompared the shock to the 1906 earthquake which rocked the coast and caused the fire which destroyed San Francisco.

By adopting the conference report adjusting differences with the house of representatives, the senate ended the struggle that went into thé mak- ing of the $1,118,500,000 bill. The president is ready to sign at once. Along with the millions in econo- mies being sought in legislation still pending, this revenue measure is ex- pected to balance the now unsteady budget of the government. Millions of new taxpayers are added to the federal roll by the bill. Income taxes for individuals and corporations are raised permanently to the level just below the high war-time rates. A score of new special excise taxes | are provided to operate for two years. They become effective 15 days after the president signs the bill. ‘The conference report was adopted by a roll call vote of 46 to 35.

At Pittsburgh, police mobilized at dawn to insure order when the 1,500 men approaching that city from west and north arrived. Four units of marchers were escorted quickly through the city Sunday. Many had no time to eat. so quickly did they move on. At Wilkinsburg, Pa., how- ever, merchants donated food.

Previously a clearcut statement had been made by Senator Moses of New Hampshire as he emerged from the luncheon conference at the Congres- sional Country club, at which party strategists discussed issues.

Moses, acting as spokesman for the entire group, said all topics appear- ‘ing controversial were discussed, in- cluding the tariff, monetary, bonus and prohibition planks. He wound up by saying “there will be a resubmission plank.” One of the prohibition resubmission iplanks that found favor with the ‘eonference Sunday read: | Text of Plank | “The Republican party is the par- {ty of the constitution and we stand |for its complete observance and also |for the faithful enforcement of all ‘laws. “We abhor the saloon and are un- alterably opposed to its return. “We recognize, however, the honest. ifference of opinion regarding the 8th amendment and we recognize the right of the people, who ordain- ed the constitution, to pass upon any portion of that instrument. “We, therefore, favor the prompt re- \submission of the 18th amendment to the people of the several states, act- jing through nonpartisan conventions jealled for that sole purpose in ac- jcordance with provisions of Article 5 to determine whether that amend- ment shall be retained, repealed or {modified.” Senator Moses said this plank “is one of 15 studied yesterday.” Representative Snell told newspa- jpermen Monday he agreed with {Moses “that some kind of a wet plank will be put into the platform” and added his belief it would be accep- table to both prohibition and anti- |prohibition groups in the party.
