INHABITANTS OF CAL.lBRIA
PANIC STRICKEN
RELIEF WORK PROGRESSING
Minister of Public Works Is Making
Investisation-supplles for Desti-
tute Are Being Rushed as
Rapidly as Possible
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ROME, Sept. 10.-Further slight
earthquake shocks today caused addi-
tional terror among the inhabitants of
Calabria. The damage, however, was
insignificant, although the disturb
ances affected a more extended area,
reaching Reggie and Naples. The ac-
tivity of Mount Vesuvius increased.
while the violent eruption Of the an
cient crater on the island of Stromboli
is still in progress.
Minister of Public Works Ferraris is
making minute personal investigation
of the extent of the disaster, visiting
even the smallest hamlets in the
stricken provinces and carrying funds
and material for the immediate relief
of the starving and ill-clad people.
Everywhere he is met by crowds who
appeal to him for aid. Despite the
efforts of the authorities, many per-
sons have not yet been reached owing
to the difficulty of bringing sufficient
supplies. The relief trains, which are
carrying food, clothing and medical
supplies are compelled to proceed
slowly by the fact that great assures
have been caused at many places along
the railroad tracks by the shocks.
Everywhere in the disturbed area
the people are sleeping in the open air,
even in places where the houses are
safe.
The population appears to have been
stupefied by the catastrophe. The
greatest caution is necessary in the
search for the victims as the walls are
continually falling. Soldiers, citizens
and doctors are working heroically, but
they have to be frequently relieved be-
cause of nervous breakdowns resulting
from the horrible sights encountered by
them.
Along the gulf of st. Eufamia, facing
the island of Stromboh, all the pic
turesque villages are totally ruined and
many of them may not be rebuilt, be-
cause the surviving inhabitants have
resolved to emigrate to the United
States. Most of the deaths occurred
among women and children, the men
escaping, as they were at work in the
fields when the principal shock took
place.
King Victor Emmanuel and the duke
of Aosta will arrive at Monte Leone
tomorrow, where they will be met by
Minister Ferraris.
The pope has been deeply affected by
the disaster and has instructed the
bishops and other church men to AFFORD
every possible aid.

PRISONER KILLED
BY WOOD ALCOHOL
JAILER DISCOVERS PAINTER
DEAD IN CELL
DRANK POISON FOR EFFECT
Believed II Would Act Like Whisky.
Ignorance of Fellow WorI<men
Probably Responsible for
Fatal Result
DRANK POISON FOR EFFECT

George Johnson, a painter, was
found dead in an empty cell Of the
city Jail yesterday morning, where
he was placed by three TRUSTEES" after
he was overcome with wood alcohol.
Johnson told his fellworkmen that
he drank the alcohol and they, not
knowing the effects that would ensue
Johnson from the wrath of the jailer
by dragging the unconscious man into
an empty cell. where he was found
dead by the jailor yesterday morning.
Johnson had the reputation of being
a first-class painter, but had been sent
to the city Jail number of times re-
Gently on charges of intoxication. He
was sent to the Jail Thursday on a
similar charge to serve three days.
Painted Jail Floors
The jailer, knowing Johnson's ability
as a painter, put him at work painting
the Jail floors. Johnson was given a
can of paint and bottle of wood al
cohol with instructions that he should
mix his own paints. Johnson did this
and was working on the floor of the
jail with three other men when he re-
marked that he believed he did not
have enough alcohol in the mixture.
He walked to the rear of the Jail,
where he had left the bottle of alcohol,
drained it's contents and returned to
work A few seconds later he became
i'll and told the men what he had
done.
When the jailer made his rounds
early yesterday morning he found the
dead body of Johnson, which had ap-
parently been lifeless for several hours.
The coroner was notified and an in
quest will be held this morning.
The TRUSTEES" who assisted Johnson
to the e---pty cell say that he had been
on the verge of a collapse all evening
for want of liquor.

TOXIC, Sept 10, p. m.-Tsunayuol
Adachi, chief of the metropolitan po-
lice, has resigned and Kiyohide Seki,
governor of Nagano prefecture, has
been appointed as his successor 1t Is
believed that Viscount YoshikaWa,
minister of home affairs, has rendered
his resignation, which it is thought will
be accepted.
Isaburo Yamagata, vice minister OF
the home department, will probably
succeed Yoshikawa- The resignation
of the above named officials is the re-
suit of a week of turmoil.
Yoshikawa and Adachi attracted
most of the popular dissatisfaction on
account of the closing OF the Hibiya
park to public meetings.
The suspensions against the newspa-
pers Nippon, Jinmin, Yorodzu, Niroku
and the Miyako have been withdrawn
and they all have resumed publication.
The Asahi and hippo, published at
Osaka, and the Kammon, published at
Shimonoseki, have been suspended.

ticipation of trouble in the Fukazawa
district last night was not realized.

ing Wordin Trombly set new record
for foolhardiness yesterday afternoon
at Chutes park when he sent his ma
chine, the Bullet, 5000 feet skyward
and lived to tell the tale.
Los Angeles Is the center for expert
mental work in aerial navigation in the
United States. Angelenos have become
so accustomed to seeing airships of one
form or another flying over the city
that the appearance Of one creates no
unusual comment.
The race, if such it may be called, be-
tween the Bullet and Alvah Reynolds
Man Angel is the first to be held in
the country and 1t opened the winter
aerial season in Los Angeles.
Flight skyward
Trombly's flight skyward in his
wrecked ship caught the eye of one
Angeleno and then another until the
entire city was watching his maneuvers
with breathless interest.
But for his hairbrained bravery the
$4,000 people who assembled at Chutes
park to witness the flying contest
would have left the grounds pronounce
ing the exhibition a fasco.
After working almost steadily for
twenty-four hours in an effort to put
the engine of the Bullet In order.
Trombly ordered his machine drawn to
the southwest corner of the park yes
terday afternoon when the crowd be-
gan to murmur fake" and said he
was prepared for the race The pro-
peller was damaged in placing the ship
on the stays.
1.-THE gas bag has become SO much

Daring Ascent
Trombly was not to be deferred and
with shout to 'let go" the ship
started on its upward fight. There
was a wind Of eight miles an hour
blowing from the southwest and, clear
ing the fence of the park by good
twenty feet, the ship started in a
northeasterly direction.

ALL TARTARY ARISES
Four Thousand Armed Kurds Join In
Uprising

By Associated Press
TIFLIS, Sept. 1O-The governor Of
Baku reports that firing continued last
night and today though on smaller
scale and that few were killed or
wounded. The troops and police, he
says, are still engaged in preventing
incendiarism and pillaging. The di-
rector of the chronological institute at
Baku telegraphs saying:
1--WE are starving and dying" and
imploring the dispatch Of necessities.
The worst news today comes from
the Zangesurski district, where 1t is
reported that many Armenian villages
were wiped out and hundreds of per-
sons killed. Help is slow in reaching
there, owing to the distance from the
military centers.
The whole of the Tartar population
has risen and has been joined by 1000
armed Kurds from the Persian bank of
the Alas river. The viceroy has pro-
tested to the Persian authorities.
General Sharinkin has ordered the
governor of Elizabethpol to investigate
the truth of accusations against some
of the Tartar police commissaries that
they are cooperating with the insur-
gents.
1t is reported that Armenians and
Tartars in Shusaba have become recon-
ciled; that the population has been
diasrmed and that the foreign residents
have returned to their homes. Cen
eral Takaischwils telegraphs that the
disorders are decreasing.

SAYS CANAL CONTRACT
WAS FAIRLY AWARDED
Markell Declares There Was Nothing
Underhanded In Awarding
of Feeding Job


By Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb, Sept. 10.-J. E. Markell,
to whom has been let the contract for
feeding the laborers on the Panama
canal. said today that he was not sur
prised to know that other bidders for
the Panama contract were dissatisfied,
but stated that everything in connec-
ton with the letting of the contract
was open and above board. He made
this statement to representative of
the Associated Press
"I presume that some of the rival
contractors who made bids were dis
appointed in not securing the job. THAI
is the only explanation 1 can give for
their making charges Of unfair dealing.
Every detail of the entire transaction
was open and above board and all the
papers are on file in New York, where
they may be examined by the public at
any time. There was not suggestion
of unfairness or dishonesty connected
with the letting of the contract from
beginning to end, and any statement
to the contrary is absolutely absurd
and maliciously false.

CZAR'S UKASE A LIBERAL

Educational Institutions Likely to Re-

of Schools PLACED in Hands
of Faculties
MAKES RECTORS ELECTIVE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 11.-An
imperial ukase is published this morn
ing granting a liberal measure Of aut-
onomy to the universities pending the
elaboration of permanent regulations
along the same lines. This Is con-
sidered here as insuring the opening Of
the universities September IA and the
resumption of the educational life OF
Russia, which has been at a standstill,
with all students and professors in
the higher schools on strike since Feb
ruary.
The ukase places the election of rec
tors and deans of the universities who
have hitherto been appointed by the
minister of education and were re-
garded as representatives Of the hated
bureaucratic class, in the hands of the
university professors. thereby making
these officials truly representatives Of
university life.
Grants No Political Demands
The duty of seeing that academic
education follows normal and orderly
course is entrusted by the ukase to
professional councils to which has been
confided jurisdiction over offenses by
students.
University inspectors who formerly
were considered as a sort of secret
police, are now responsible to the rec
tors and not to the ministry and a
cause of many misunderstanding be-
tween the universities and the author
tiles has hereby been removed.
The ukase fails to give the right of
assembly or to grant the other political
demands for which the students have
been agitating, but the placing Of the
government of the univerities in the
hands of the professors meets the prin-
cipal grievance of the students in re-
gard to purely academic life, in which
the faculties and students are thor
oughly in sympathy with each other
because of their common efforts to
remedy the grievances.
