JAPANESE DISASTERS
’QUAKES FOR FORTNIGHT TOWN ON FIRE [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Received March 29, 10.30 a.m.) TOKIO, March 28. Continuously repeat.ed earthquakes have been rocking Izu Penin, particularly Ito, 40 miles south west of Yokohama, for a fortnight past. The inhabitants are panic stricken. Although the disturbances are at present local, their persistency is ominous, because they are near the epicentre of the 1923 ’quakes. Fanned by a gale, a conflagration is raging at Komatsu noted for its porcelain industry. Seven hundred buildings have already been destroyed. The fire is still uncontrolled and it is feared that the entire town will be lost. One fireman ■was killed.
