Hemet, CL, April 22. Hemet and
San Jacinto, which sustained heavy
damage in Sunday's earthquake, and
alight additional losses from shocks
tarty today, have begun the task of
repairing their injured homes, re
' building their shattered business dis
tricts and generally recovering from
the, dislocation of all normal activities
incident to the tremors. There is i
spirit of optimism abroad and a!
ready orders have gone forward for
building material with which to effect
repairs or replace destruction
Altitude Line Altered.
People here believe that since the
shocks the height of two of the three
peaks of Mount San Jacinto has been
changed. Formerly, they declare, the
central and northerly peaks were the
higher, while now the southern peak
is higher. Casual observation ap
pearj to confirm this belief. Old resi
dents dug in hastily-rescued trunks
today for photographs of the moun
tain made years ago to compare them
with pictures taken today, in an ct
fort to establish the truth of the the.
ory. There is a perceptible variation
in the height of the snow line on the
three peaks since the shocks

A : few of the braver residents

Another personal injury due to the
earthquake came to light today. John
Shaver, one of the supervisor of
Riverside county, was sitting in a
rocking chair on the front porch of
his house when the shocks Degan.
After the first tremor had subsided
he found himself in the middle of his
front yard. Today he declared he
had broken two ribs somewhere in
his' transit from one location to the
other.

Ruins After Quake
in the earthquake. A Chinese cook
in the Vosburg hotel was made indig
nant, almost to forgeti'uliiess of his
little English, when the shocks broke
all the freshly washed dishes from
the hotel's Su:iday dinner and left
quite safe piles of unwashed dinner
ware. The Eotliin block, once a two-story
brick building, lost its upper half in
a previous similarly destructive eartn
quake Christmas day, 1899. Yesterday
the shocks leveled the lower story.
A linotype machine in the office of
the San Jacinto Weekly Register, fac
ing in one direction before the earth
quake, faced in the opposite direction
afterward. Apparently the half turn
damaged it in no way.
announced that he had achieved his
78th aerial victory, although in this
as in previous citations he was not
credited explicitly with having
brought down an allied airplane.
Captain von Richthofen first came
into prominence as leader of the "fly
ing circus," a squadron of German
aviators which fought in a peculiar
circular formation, following each
other around so that in case one
was attacked the next flyer could
sweep the antagonist from the rear.
Recently Emperor William conferred
upon him the Order of the Red Eagle.
An official statement reporting aer
ial operations issued yesterday at Ber
lin said:
"Baron Richthofen, at the head of
his trusty chasing squadron, on Sat
urday gained his 79th and 80th vic
tories." Denver, Colo., April 22. Captain
Baron Max von Richthofen, famous
German aviator, reported killed on the
French front, was a nephew of Barom
ess Louise Richthofen, prominent
socially in Denver.
Baroness Richthofen was an English
woman prior to her marriage and is
one of the most active workers in
Colorado for Belgium and other al
lied war relief work. It was she who
originated the flag which is being sold
all over the country for the relief of
blind soldiers and sailors.

SL0AN PRAISES
NEBRASKANS IN
ARBOR DAY TALK
Washington, April 21. (Special
Telegram.) Arbor day gave Rep
resentative Sloan a chance to call the
attention of the house to the fact that
"the tree planter state" as Nebraska
has come to be known, was the ori
ginator of Arbor day, now generally
observed throughout 'the country.
Mr. Sloan, who never loses an op
portunity to speak of the glories of
Nebraska, said that the late J. Ster
ling Morton, cabinet member, scholar,
philosopher and statesman, was the
founder of Arbor day.
"Pcnsylvania gave us Independence
day, new England, thanksgiving, the
Grand Army of the Republic. Decora
tion day, the toilling millions, Labor
day, but Nebraska gave to the Union
Arbor day," said Mr. Sloan. "It was
named after "Arbor Lodge," the home
of the Mortons on the banks of the
Missouri."
In conjunction with his fine com
pliments to J. Sterling Morton, Mr.
Sloan made the recent patriotic
proclamation of Acting Governor
Edgar Howard, calling upon the
people to celebrate Arbor day, a part
of his remarks prefacing them with
the fact that in the third Liberty
bond sale Nebraska had grandly gone
"over the top."
Congressman Nelson's Son
Goes in Draft Next Month
Madison, Wis.. April 22. Byron
Nelson, son of Congressman Nelson,
will go in the draft from Madison,
May 5. His name was certified by
the local board here today.
Nelson failed to register July 5 last
because he was a resident of Canada,
where he engaged in agricultural pur
suits. The draft board started an
action against him, but the court held
that Nelson, as a resident of another
country, was not compelled to reg
ister here, the ruling confirming to the
stand taken by the national hoard.
Later Nelson returned to Madison and
registered.

During the engagement the Ger
