TURNED 10 SORROW |Awful Earthquake Visited The The Capital While The Festivities in Honor of The Liberator Madero Were in Progress---Sixty-three Persons | Killed, Mainly Women (Canadian Press Despatch) Mexico City, June 8.—While Mexico's capital city was pre- paring to celebrate with great rejoicing the advent of the great liberator Madero, the city was suddenly plunged into grief and mourning. The most disastrous earthquake in twenty years shook the city, killing sixty-three per- sons and injuring seventy-five more. The Changed Spectacle The shock came at 4.30 last night, when the streest were thron- ged with pleasure seekers garbed for the celebrations, and while the builders were at work on the triumphal arch and gay canopy in honor of the victor. The shock lasted for four minutes, and chang- | City Council Has Issued an (Canadian Press Despatch) Winnipeg, June 8.—~The thought lessness of the theatre managers of Winnipeg in making lavish display of the stars and stripes in their shows and decorations, and relegating the Jack to the background have irritated the public very much. This is the more felt at present owing to the fact that it is Coronation month. City Council Acts Last night the city council took the matter up, and issued an order to the theatre managers that in future they must discontinue the unnecessary use of the United Union Glory from the Stage—Hospitality Had Been Overworked by Yankee Companies STARS AND STRIPES ARE — TABOOED IN WINNIPEG Order Banishing the Old from relegating the Union Jack to inconspicious places. Plays are Yankees The trouble has chiefly arisen through the fact that the theatres are supplied from the United States circuits, and the plays | have a great deal of flag-waving in them to please the United States patrons. In coming to Winnipeg, the company managers seem to overlook the fact that they entered another country, wh- ere the idolization of the Stars and Stripes is not so much in public demand. States flag on the stage, and cease made, ed the scene of rejoicing into a scene of terror and chaos. Heavy Property Loss In addition to the loss of life, damage to the value of $50,000 in gold, was done. Most of the victims are wives of soldiers who were in the barracks at the time the earthquake rocked the place and caused it to fall. They were buried in the ruins. An even greater death toll is feared.
