PEOPLE ARE PANIC STRICKEN.

Unprecedented Quantities of Lava
.'->. Thrown Out of Crater.
Naples, April 10.-The quantity of
ashes and ctnders thrown up by Mount
Vesuvius within the last twenty-four
hours is unprecedented Analysis
shows this discharge to be chiefly COM
posed of iron, sulphur and magnesia.
When dry the whole region seemed to
be under a gray sheet, but now, after
q fall of rain, it appears to have been
transformed into an immense lake of
chocolate.
The evacuation of the threatened
villages and towns continues, but
means to transport the inhabitants are
lacking, although thousands of SOL
diers with artillery carts have been
sent to the places where the sufferers
are most in need of assistance.
At many places the people are suf-
fering from panic and a state of great
confusion exists, which has been add
ed to by superstition. Some of the
parish priests refused to open their
churches to people who tried to OBJ
tain admittance, fearing that an earth
quake would destroy them when full
OF people and thus increase the dis
aster Crowds of women attacked the
churches, pulled down the doors and
took possession of the pictures and
statues of the saints, which they car
ried about as a protection against
death.
Many people camped along the roads
and in the fields outside of Tore An
nunziata and Ottajano, where they
thought they would be safer than in
the towns, defying the elements,
though nearly blinded by ashes, wet
to the skin by the rain and terrorized
by the gigantic, curved. flaming mass
above, resembling a scimitar ready to
fall upon them.

BASED ON BEEF DECISION
CHICAGO AND ALTON OFFICIALS
FILE IMMUNITY PLEA IN
REBATE CASES,

Kansas City, April 10.-Various mo-
tions, pleas and orders growing out of
the indictment last December of five
local packinghouses, three railroads
and number of individuals, charged
with giving or conspiring to secure
rebates in violation of the Elkins anti
rebate law, were argued here during
the day in the United States district
court.
The packing companies and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
road, soon after the indictments were
returned, filed general denials. The
Burlington and several officials of that
railway who were indicted filed mo-
lions to quash. The Chicago and AL.
ton and the officers connected with the
traffic department of that company,
under indictment, filed immunity
pleas. 'f@-
The plea of the Alton and it's Off
Gals is based upon the recent de-
cision of Judge Humphrey in Chicago
in the beef cases wherein it was held
that members of the corporations who
had furnished information on which
the indictments were returned were
immune, but that the corporations
were not. The Alton makes the claim
that it was compelled to produce it's
books, papers and other documentary
data for the inspection of the federal
grand jury in Chicago and that this
information was presented to the Kan
sas City grand jury, before which the
local agents of the road were sum-
