AN APPEAL FOR jim HOWARD'S FAMILY

Responding to an urgent appeal
made by republicans and democrats
alike. The Sun presents plain
statement of fact in regard to JAMES
B. Howard's stricken family.
James b. Howard Is now confined
in the penitentiary, where he will
serve life sentence, having been
convicted of the murder OF william
Goebel, five years ago.
Mrs. James b. Howard and her
three little children are the innocent
victims OF the predicament Mr.. How
ard finds himself placed In by pro-
cess of law. For five years this he
role woman has labored INCREASINGLY,
and never without hope. TO secure a
vindication for her husband. Their
little home has been swept into the
legal maelstrom, and today they are
dependent on charity for the clothes
they wear, and even for the brea !
they eat. a.
This condition will not be permit
ted to remain as long as there are
lender hearts in Old Kentucky. This
loyal wife has, by a devotion typical
of Southern womanhood. touched the

"A DIMPLE MAKER.

Find a child with dimples
and chubby arms and legs
and you find a healthy child.
Find one with drawn face
and poor, thin body and you
see one that needs SCOTS
Emulsion. Your doctor will
no doubt tell you the child is
fat-starved--its food is not
nourishing it.
Nothing helps these thin,
pale children like SCOTS
Emulsion. 1t contains the
very element of fat they need.
1t supplies them with a per-

King 6peps DID Palace.

The king has directed the royal
palace at San Fernando to be opened
for the reception of wounded refu-
gees. Firemen and ambulance corps
from Rome have been sent here to
aid in the care of sufferers.
Two American girls who went into
the Vesuvius district where the aban-
donment of the train by which they
were travelling caused them much
discomfort and no little peril. were
brought here today by the steamer
St. Bon. They were delighted that
their adventure had no more serious
ness. Although the report that Sarno
has been destroyed is denied, 1t is
now officially admitted that Otta ia
no has been buried. The number of
killed there and in surrounding vii
lagos is, not known, but. three hun

estimate. ~
Even Capri, a small island of the
coast of Campania, y miles south OF
Naples. a, favorite resort for tourists
and artists, has been covered with
ashes and been abandoner by its for

+, The magnitude of the disaster is
almost indescribable. Vesuyius has
spread desolation and terror over an
immense tract of country. The whole
Vesuvius district as far as Naples,
Caserita and Castellammare is one
vast Saharian desert. The blockade of
local traffic continues but service on
the main lines of railway has been

arranged by understandable confusion
in the stations.

| Naples, April 12.-Robert Under
wood Johnson, associate editor of the
Century magazine, who has been an
eve witness of events here the last
few days, said last night to the AS
ISOLATED Press:
Each day 1t becomes more impos-
sible to visit even at distance the
afflicted DISTRICT Ashes have reached
enormous proportions, filter into ev-
erything, block trains. trans. auto
mobiles carriages and horses. Only
the sold. Srs seem 10 overcome the OBJ
struetion. Before the interruption
took train for Terre Annunziata.
On arriving at Terre del Greece the
heavens seemed to open and we were
soon half buried in ashes and hot
cinders. Train. drew up in total dark
ness, relieved only by lightning flash
es. Thus We waited events.
"Soon the darkness took on pur-
pie and yellow tinges. Detonations
became louder than the loudest thun-
der clap and the ashes burnt our eyes
II was perfect picture of Dante's
Inferno. The train coald not proceed
so thick were ashes on the track and
just at this point the train broke in
half and the poor women fugitives
thinking they were about to lose
their lives began to chant Htanies for
the dead, giving a last wierd touch
to the internal scenes. t,i ..t.
"Carbineers came to our rescue
and proposed to take us up to the
sea. We then found We were on a
bridge with the sea on one side and
Terre del Greco on the other. In the
darkness we descended hand in hand
forming a human rope. and false
step would have meant death. The
port was so choked with ashes that
small boats could not navigate.
"Wearily We trudged back to the
station to find there was no prospect
of another train. We had been there
five, hours In that plight. SO. seeing
that heroic measures were necessary
with a companion Itrudged miles in
two or three feet of ashes to Port
lea whence. finally. We found a cab
which brought us to Naples. ~

Recalling the frequency of the
eruptions of vesuvius it is most as
tonishing that so many people have
hazard their lives day by day in
living so near to the volcano. A
number of villages, towns and sew
eral cities were SO near the noun
tain that many have, from reports,
been all but covered by the falling
ashes. and sand, while several have
been well destroyed by the floating
lava. And nearly every one OF these
places were located on beds of lava
which had previously flowed from
this same volcano. That, as stated,
SO many people dared to and did live
right at the foothills of vesuvius Is
most surprising to put 1t mildly.

yesterday afternoon and authorized
City Solicitor James Campbell to
appear before the municipal boards
and ask that the matter of storm
sewer construction work be carried
into the courts for a final and def
mite construction of the provisions of
| the law
There is difference of legal opin-
ion regarding the building of storm
water sewers, some eontending that
it is a portion of street improvements
and others that it is not. In order to
| preclude possible complications and
Litigation, the board desires to have
the matter settled in the court.

and another in an alley between

filed from the Paducah Traction Co.
asking that it be permitted to trans
fer its Jefferson and Fountain avenue
switch to Broadway between 10th
and 18th streets. to make 1t possible
to maintain an even schedule.
An opinion from Attorneys Hen
drick, Miller and Marble, saying that
the board of works had authority 20
select the market master, wharfmas-
ter and sewer inspector, was filed.
This matter was favorably acted on
by the aldermanic board but has to
yet come before the council.
