Chicago, April 9.-John A. Linn,
clerk of the circuit court, pleaded gull
ty to the charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud before Judge Dupuy and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for an in
definite term of years. The conviction

the superior court. A shortage was
found in his accounts and he was in

LONGWORTH THE GUEST
Presidents SOn-in-Law Dimes with
the Hamilton Club at Chicago
Wife Not Present.

Chicago April misrepresentation
Longworth, son-in-law of President
Roosevelt, was the guset of honor at
a dinner given in the Auditorium Ho-
tel banquet hall by the Hamilton club
in celebration of the fOrty-firs ami
versary of Appomattox Day. The BAN
queters were greatly disappointed be-
cause Mrs. LongwOrth was not present
at the dinner, as arrangements had
been made by the club for a concealed
balcony in which she should sit and
listen to her husband speak. She sent
her regrets.
Among the speakers besides Long
worth were Representative Kitchin, of
North Carolina, and Rev. John Wesley
Hill, Of New York. Longworth spoke
eXtemporaneously in depreciation of
the impugning of motives of public
men, which has been for many years
the practice and habit of the press
and is just now running amuck, as it
were in the daily press and the maya
zines.

CaIamItIes That Didn'C Occur

When the first use was made of the
natural gas wells people of certain
class were much disturbed. All sorts
Of evils were predicted, and warning
letters were received by the companies
in charge. One man seat caution
against boring much into the earth.
The world was a hollow sphere, he
said, filled with a gaseous substance
and floating like balloon in space If
the gas were allowed to escape disaster
would follow. Another, claiming to be
scientific man, assured the owners Of
a well that any fire coming in contact
with the escaping gas would be COM
municated to the gas beneath and
cause terrific explosions. Men are too
inquisitive,' he said. "They peer too
far. Let them beware" The gas COM
panies have kept on boring, and the
world has SO far held itself together.

dead and injured at several hundred,
but not many facts can be obtained
upon which to base an accurate esti-
mate. At this writing the situation
appears more assuring, the lava
streams having diminished in volume
and in some directions having stopped
altogether, while copious rainfall is
cooling the lava where it lies station
airy. Almost equally with the devastd.
ton wrought by the lava is the dam
age done by cinders and ashes, which
in incredible quantities have been car
ried great distances.
Roof of Church Collapses.
This has caused the practical de-
struction of San Giuseppe, a place of
5000 inhabitants. All but 200 of the
people had fled from San Giuseppe,
and these 200 assembled in q church
to attend mass. While the priest was
performing his sacred office the roof
fell in and many persons were killed
and injured. The unfortunates
were for hours without surgical or
medical assistance. The only thing left
standing in the church was a statue
of st. Anne, the preservation of which
the poor, homeless people accepted as
a miracle and promise. of deliverance
from their peril.
Twelve Killed at Otta.jano.
At Ottajano five churches and ten
houses fell under the weight of ashes
and cinders. which lie four feet deep
on the ground. In the fall of the build
ings about twelve persons were killed
and many were injured. The village
is completely deserted by it's people.
After the evacuation of the place the
barracks and prisons fell in. Reports
from coast and inland towns depict
terrible devastation. San Giorgio, Gre.
mona, Portici. Resina and Tore del
Greco have been almost completely
abandoned. The inhabitants of Tore
Annunziato are prepared to leave at a
moments warning. Somma Vesuviana
is another village which has suffered
most severely.

DONATIONS AND SENDS LET
TIERS OF THANS.

Further reports have been received
from j. f. Morgan regarding the dis
position of relief funds at San Fran
cisco. His last letter contains the fol-
lowing describing the various enclos-
ures and'his work.
MY letter to the Associated Chari-
ties of San Francisco donating the
sum of $3.50.
Letter acknowledging receipt of said
donation.
MY letter donating $1,000 to the Re-
lief ConNllttee Of Physicians of San
Francisco.
Acknowledgment of the receipt of
this donation.
Letter from the Salvation Army
acknowledging receipt of $25OO, and eX-
planning the work of the Army.
Il am here in stamford, Connecticut
taking a needed rest and hope to be
able to start for Honolulu on July sixth
or seventh.
Il have on deposit with Alexander
& Baldwin at Oakland $4,000 and ex-
peCt that a collection of $500 from Mrs.
Mclean has ere this been added to
Should your committee not have cX-
pended this amount I hope to hear
from you and if you decide to leave
the expenditure of it to my judgment
1 shall inquire as to what charities
need assistance when 1 am in San
Francisco and shall attend to the mat
| ter"
The letter of thanks from Col French
of the Salvation Army has the follCw-
| ing:
This donation, 1 may say in pass
ing, is all the more appreciated from
the fact that we have not as yet been
able to obtain any financial aid from
the National Relief Committee in Sar
Francisco, and seeing that the Saliva.
ton Army is made up of poor people
and that we have been carrying on eX.
tensive relief work ever since the day
of the calamity, it has made it rather
trying for us. Ample provisions, how.
ever, l should say have been forth.
coming, still, as you will readily UNI
derstand on an occasion like this il
calls for the expenditure of consider.
able money in addition to the dlstri.
button of provisions.
I'VE are still carrying on our relief
work, and further than this we are
endeavoring to raise a fund to re-
establish our work on a permanent
basis, in the city. Commander Miss
Booth has gotten together severa
thousand dollars, through the local or.
CARNATIONS in the east, which we are
endeavoring to use to the best advar,
tage For instance, we have alreads
erected a large wooden structure, 40.
100, which we propose using as a Lodg
ing house for working men in the burn
district, reserving also a portion 70
our executive offices. This building
will cost us in the neighbOrhood o
four thousand dollars by the time it i
finished. l thought these facts Nigh
be interesting to you as also the gener
GUS committee which you have tn
honor to represent.
Wishing you well in all your under
tahngs, believe me to b.,
Yours very sincerely,
