V Mexico City, Jan. 12. Reports from
the San Miguel district indicate the
eruption of .the new crater which opened
there as a result of the earthquake on
t he night of Jan. 3 is decreaHing in vio
lence. . .Special investigators sent from this
city into the earthquake Bone have re
ported from Jala pa that on Sunday the
number of dead in that city was 50 and
that 200 injured had been given treat
ment. The city was badly damaged
and is still covered by a pall of dust
Brining from falling structures.
Unique in the annals of the disaster
is the experience or the tamiiy ot pro
fessor Francisco Rivcros of Barranca
"Nueva. The earthquake opened a great
chasm in the earth in which their home
was engulfed. For more than a week
members of the family have been Iiv
ing.in the bottom of this abyss at least
140 feet below the surtaee or the earth.
Surviving neighbors have been lower
ing them food and water at the emi
nent risk of dislodging rocks which
might fall and crush those beneath.
Belief is expressed that rain or new
shocks would mean the deaths of those
imprisoned in .the gulf.

BRITISH BALANCE BETTER.
Fewer Import and More Exports Dur
ing November. 4
London, Jan. 12. The adverse bal
ance of trade against Great Britain as
shown by comparison of her exports
and imports during the month of No
vember was the lowest attained since
the armistice. Its total was 38,200,000
pounds.
Britain's exports increased about
0,000,000 pounds in November, while
in the same period her imports de
creased about 10,000,000 pounds. The
decline in imports is attributed by the
American Chamber of Commerce in
London in part to the recent strikes in
the I'nited States. It is stated also
that decreased production and shipping
troubles in America forcibly reduced
British imports but at the same time
improved her market for exports in
continental Kurope which were shut
' g(T from their source of supply.

DESCAMPS HAS '
MYSTEROUS POWER
Georges darpentier'a Manager Is Said tp
Possess Some Sort of Mystic Eye
with Which He Cast Spell -I
. ' Over Beckett.
New York,' Jan. 12. Apparently
Jack Dempsey will have to fight two
men when he meets Georges Carpentier
for the world heavyweight champion
ship, if the deductions of a London
writer are correct. According to this
authority, Descamp. the manager of
Carpentier possesses some sort of
a mystic eye witn wnicn ne
cast a spell over Beckett, in
the recent battle in London with the
result that the French pugilist had an
easv tank' in knocking out the be
fuddled Britisher.
In the words of ihe discoverer of this
alleired dual combination which con
fronted poor Beckett during the 70 odd
seconds he stood before Carpentier, the
strange influence made its ell'ect felt
as follows: . .
"There were two personalities fight
ing Joe Beckjtt from the moment he
entered the ring, tarpentier was one
The other was Descamps, his manager.
Descamps is a very excitable man. He
is a bundle of nerves, a typically
French, overflowing personality, whose
individuality oozes from every pore
He does not effervesce. He exudes.
"Descamps says that when Carpen-
iter meets Jack Dempsey, Carpentier
will win in six rounds. Watch JJes
camps. He is the man who is aiding
Carpentier with all mental force. His
mentality accompanies Carpentier into
the ring every fight. He is his unseen,
silent partner, and to him as much as
to Carpentier is 3eckett indebted for
the blow on the jaw which finished the
fight and took the championship of Eu
rope out of his reach.
"What was Descamps doing as Beck
ett came into the ringf Those who
were near him tell me he was watch
ing Beckett intently. The fact is, he
began to fight Beckett as soon as
Beckett stepped J.nto the ring. Beck
ett was constantly glancing round at
Carpentier as he was getting bis gloves
adjusted. There you have the person
ality of Descamps beginning to work;
impinging itself on Beckett's brain and
beginning its task of confusing the
English boxer's thoughts. Possibly Des
camps is not quite conscious of his own
power, but it is there all the same. This
projection of personality is not hypno
tism, but it is to be seen operating
everywhere.
"Descant p, they say, feels every de
feat of Carpentier as a defeat for him
self. His personality stands beside Car
pentier in every match, for he has
trained Carpentier' mind as well as his
body. Carpentier acts as Descamps
wills. That is why Beckett made the
mistake at Holborn .stadium. Carpen
tier alone he might have beaten. Car
pentier and Descamps were too much
for him."
GOV, STEPHENS OBJECTS
TO FIGHT PROMOTING
But Coffroth Declares That Little of
the Promoting of the Carpentier
Dempsey Bout Is Being Done
in California.
Fan Diego, Cal., Jan. 12. Little pro
motion of the proposed Jack Dempsey
(ieorges Carpentier boxing match for
the world's heavyweight championship
has been done in California, said James
W. Coffroth, who offered a purse of
$400,000 for the bout, in commenting
to-day upon opposition of Governor
William D. Stephens of California to
staging the meeting at Tijuana, Lower
California. Coffroth said he was "not
greatly concerned"' over the announce
ment last nignt ol griDernatoriai opposi
tion.
"I have been up against the same
thing practically every time I have pro
moted a prize ring match in the last 15
or 20 years," be said. "As for the fight
being promoted in California, that is
wrong. The work of promotion lias
gone on in almost all other parts of the
world, but little of it has been done in
California.'!
'Governor .Stephens said that he would
feel obliged, if necessary, to request the
federal government, through control of
the international border, to prevent the
contest being held. -

FRENCH SENATE
NOT CHANGED
Political Alignment Is Not
' Altered by the Elec
tion Jan. 11
OUTGOING SENATORS
MOSTLY RE-ELECTED
One Socialist Was Elected
M. Humbert Withdrew
' from the Contest 7
Paris, Jan. 12. Results of the elec
tion held yesterday indicate that the
new .Senate will have the same political
alignment as the old one, changes made
in the personnel' of the chamber being
those involving individuals and not
principles. Most of the outgoing sen
ators who were candidates were re
elected, one outstanding exception be
ing Charles Humbert, who was acquit
ted last May by a court martial of a
charge of having had dealings with the
enemy. M. Humbert withdrew on the
second ballot and asked his supporters
to throw their strength to President
Poincare.
The feature of the flection was the
appearance of unified socialist candi
dates. Hitherto that party had boy
cotted the Henate, the abolition of
which was advocated by the organiza
tion. Up' to the present reports show
that only one socialist was elected.
PERSHING SAYS
LIVES WERE NOT
W ASTED IN DRIVE
Declares Fear of Hun Treachery Made
Fight to End Imprea-
. sive.
Washington, Jan 12. Charges made
before a House war investigation com
mittee that lives of American soldiers
were wasted in needless attacks on
armistice dav are denied in a letter
from Gen. Pershing made public Satur
day by Representative Fuller, Republi
can. of Massachusetts.
Gen. Pershing said the American
forces were acting under general in
structions issued by Marshal Foeh to
all allied commanders on Nov. 9, 1018,
and that orders for attacks were with
drawn as soon as possible after he was
advised of the signing of the armistice.
No order was given to cease tiring be
fore the actual hour the armistice went
into effect, because of fear of German
treachery. Statements that American
troop were ordered to attack while
French divisions remained stationary
are "wholly erroneous."
The general's letter is dated hav. 21,
1019, and is in reply to charges con
tained in letter to Mr. Fuller from
Capt. George K. Livertuore of Winches
ter, Mass., formerly operation officer
of the 167th field artillery brigade of
the H2d (negro) division. Mr. Fuller
explained that he made the letter pub
lic in view of statement recently made
before the investigating committee by
Brig. Gen. Sherburne, commanding the
artillery division of the !)2d division,
about which much of the controversy
regarding armistice day losses ha cen
tered. PERSHING AT FORT RILEY.

gram at Fort Riley.
This evening the general and his staff
will be guest at a dinner given bv

"IT IS ALL BUNK."
Declared American Journalist After
Visiting D'Annuniio in 'Flume.
Rome, Jan. 12. Foreigners who visit
Fiume and enjoy the hospitality of
f'abrielle JVAnnunzio, the "poet-war
rior," who rules there, are by no means
asrreed as to whether his adventure
m Fiume should be supported.
Two American women who recently
returned from that city are enthusi
astic about the poet. One of tlfem said
that he seemed to her only the "em
bodiment of a spiritual
movement. I
and that "his enthusiasm carries one
away from all thought of him other
than as the herald of his great idea.
He seems to be a voice from
another !
world."
A hard headed American journalist
said on returning to Rome: "It is all
bunk. It's the worst pipe dream I
erer ran into. Nome dreamers and ideal
ists may sympathize with D'Annunr.io's
adventure-, but I cannot see anything
Kut harm in it for Italv. It is a blow
to the discipline of the army and navy I
nj mpimce to ttie Italian eovcrn-
mcnt. At first it was ratner amusing,
but one gets tired of farce."
Apparently there is a wide divergence
of view among Italians a among for
eigner as to the value of the U'An
nunzio expedition. Many Italians who
are enthusiastic about it at first have
chilled on second thought. This es
pecially i true among members of
the conservative parties who attribute
the great gains of the socialists in the
recent general election to the extreme
nationualUt movement as typified by
D'Annunzio.
