Surmise.
(Houston Post Staff Special.)
WASHINGTON May . Announce-
ment by Representative R. L. Henry of
his decision to enter the race for United

formally open that phase of the Texas
political situation. In a long statement
reviewing his official record Mr. Henry
makes the announcement In response he
says to "many Inquiries from every sec-
tion of Texas that have come to me
touching my future polltcal course and It
seems right that my friends should know
my Intentions." That he Intended to con-
test for Senator Culberson's seat has
been generally understood here for some
time but that he should make the formal
announcement at this early date occa-
sioned some surprrie. It Is said the step
was taken to get the jump on Postmaster
General Burleson and any other aspirants
who may get into the Senatorial equation i
because of the raiher complicated con-
test for the governorship of the State
now being waged.
Stresses Points In Record.
Mr. Henry's review of his record In
congress stresses his stand for "tariff for
revenue only." the Income tax direct
election of senators and antl trust legis-
lation. Regarding the direct election of
senators he says: "Tills reform In popu-
lar government is the greatest since the
foundation of the republic. Special priv-
ilege has now lost its last governmental
refuge."
In conclusion his announcement reads:
"Upon this record I shall seek re-election
to the house of representatives In the pri-
maries of 1914. Should my constituency
again honor me it will be the tenth elec-
tion to congress and at the end of that
time I will have served 20 consecutive
years. This Is a long career. It will be
the last time 1 shall ask for election to
the house and If successful at the end of
that time I shall give way to other ambi-
tious men seeking honors from the people.
Seeks Senatorshlp In 1916.
"My heart is full of gratitude for the
great distinction bestowed upon me be-
ginning with my early youth and my
hope la that the humble services rendered
by me have partially repaid my constit-
uency for their unvarying confidence and
support. My past record must be an
earnest of my future action in congress.
"Believing that complete candor with
the people is always the correct policy
that should govern a public official. I do
not hesitate to state my political inten-
tions for the future. It is my fixed de-
termination to be a candidate for United
States senator in 1916. At the appro-
priate t)me I shall make my formal an-
nouncement and plainly state my position
niton every pending Issue. And when the
proper time comes I shall canvass Texas
from border to border and courageously
discuss every problem th$n confronting
tho people."
At Senator Culberson's office today it
was announced the senior Texas senator
will arrive In Washington next Monday
ur Tuesday.

condition of affairs tn Mexico City where
the next scene in the International drama
Is looke for by many American and for-
eign observers.
The outside world knows little of what

any correspondent In the capital to send
any but a closeiy censored report. Those
from the outside who venture Into thti
city snd most of thee are foreigners
who go protected by passports see evi-
dences of such a tense situation that they
do not think It safe to remain long and
make only the most cursory observations.
One traveler who returned today de-
clared that Louis Dantlne the only
American remaining at the embassy
when Charge O'Shaughnessy and hi
staff departed had been seised by agents
of Huerta and was in daiigeref execu-
tion when the British minister Sir Lionel

THE STRONGEST SHOCK

(Associated Press Report.)
CATANIA. Sicily. May . A great
earthquake last night brought death andj
destruction to many village near Mount j'
Etna. The number ot dead up to tonight I
was officially placed at 183. with about!
350 Injured. A large part of the devastated'
territory has not been inspected. The
affected zone extends from Zaffarana. th
highest village on Mount Etna to th
between Acl Reale on the south and :
Glarre on the north. It Includes Linara
the center of the disturbance. Plaano and
Santa Venerina. In Liner alone 110'
persona were killed and 300 injured. In
Bongiardo 13 dead and 37 Injured hsw
been taken from the ruins. At Conaan-
tinl 16 were killed and many injured.
These villages and many smaller places
were levelled. At Pasopomo 12 persons
were killed; at Malatl 12; at Santa Venert
6; Santa Tecla 2; Santa Maria Verglne S;
Garbatl 4.
Entire District Is Wracked.
The entire district today presented a
spectacle of desolation ruin and death-
Many of the Injured had not been taken
from the debris. All train service has '
been abandoned owing to the collapse
of bridges broken track and obstructed
tunnels.
For centuries this region has suffered
from earthquakes owing to the activity
of Mount Etna. Yet it is thickly popu- .
lated as the land Is fertile vineyards
growing with little attention. Near tha
central point of the disturbance dosena
of bodies were lying along the road. Many
were unrecognizable as they were badly
crushed. The injured lay In the open
awaiting assistance which has been sent
t them. j -
Where Linera stood "V Taa of ruins.
Those houses which did not collapse en-
tirely were so broken as to emphaaix
the completeness of the ditoBO ww
village consisted of about 800 Inhabitants
Many Escaped In Fields.
Most of the people escaped because the
shock occurred when the men and sofn
of the women were working in the fields.
From the vineyards they saw their houses
falling and when they arrived breathless
at their homes they found only wreaclc-
age with some of their people buried be-
neath it.
This accounts for the fact that most of
the victims at Linera were women and
children. The men wild with terror and
grief attacked the debris with their bar
hands In an effort to save their families.
(ienerals TrabucchI and Moccagatta are
In command of the work of rescue.' which
Is being expeditiously performed by ol-
diers firemen policemen and Red Cross
volunteers. It Is expected however that
weeks will pass before the full extent of
the disaster can be ascertained as it la
believed many peasants are burled under
their homes in the isolated country dis-
tricts. Shock Severe at Catania.
At Catania the strongest shock lasted
six seconds. Electric lights were ex-
tinguished and the street railways wer
put out of service. The people rushed
from the houses shops and cafes. Many
Jumped Into boats and other crowded
Into the squares. At the hospital patient
ran to the court yard imploring help.
Many pitiful esplsodes occurred. At
Bongiardo an old woman the only sur-
vivor of a family of 18 re-entered a half
wrecked house to search for her grand-
children. She returned with a little girl
and rushed In again. Almost Immediately
the house collapsed burying her under
tin wreckage.
