Red Cross delays Jamaica aid awaiting United States consul facts
The Red Cross Society will not send Jamaica relief until it receives fuller details from the U S consul in Kingston. National secretary Mabel Boardman said the society is tied up with San Francisco, Russia, and China disasters, and Jamaica’s need is unclear as it is a British colony with many ships, though help would be offered if truly required. Special cable dispatch from London reports a large Italian earthquake near Ischia with few details. Earthquakes were felt in the Jura Mountains and from Payerne to Basel on January 13. Dixon wins Senate seat in Montana pledging support for Roosevelt and party nomination reforms.
