END OF THE DISTURBANCE
Professor Mattuci Risks Life in Climb
ing to Point Near the Crater and
Gives His Opinion That the Worst Is
Over for the Present-Work of
Cleaning Streets Begun.

Naples, April 13.--All news received
here this morning is encouraging. For
the first time since Tuesday the sun is
shining all over Naples, altho above
the city the usual gray clouds are dis
cernable. The fall of ashes has al
most entirely ceased. The ashes, how
ever, continued to fall thru the night,
adding several inches to the accumula-
ton in the streets. Nearly 5000 people
are employed in clearing the roofs and
main thoroughfares. Professor Mat
tucci, director of the royal observatory
on Mount Vesuvius, today climbed up
Vesuvius to point long wey above
the observatory, at the imminent risk
of his life, and ascertained that unless
conditions change radically there will
be no further discharge of lava at
present. He believes the end of the
disturbance is near. King Victor En-
manuel and Queen Helena expect to
return to Rome today.

ards. with representatives from many
states present. The delegates are dis
cussing the feasibility of securing leg

is such a great diversity In the weight

that the purchaser rarely gets what he

Serve in Senate Cannot be Question
on Ground of Past otfenses.

Washington, April 13.-Final argu-
ment in the investigation of the pro-
tests against Senator Smoot being per-
mitted to retain his seat were made
today before the committee on elections
BY A. S. Worthington, counsel for the
Utah senator For the first time since
the proceedings were begun three
years ago, Mrs. Smoot attended the
session Of the committee.
In opening Worthington took up the
subject Of Shoots qualifications to
serve as senator, and followed this by
citing authorities in support OF his
contention that it requires two
thirds vote of the senate to oust Smoot
Answering Carlisle's argument that
Utah might go SO far as to send
President Joseph Smith to the senate,
Worthington said IL such should be
the case he should be permitted tu
serve, IL he gave UP his plural wife
and lived only with his legal wtfa. IN
the event Smith should fail to I'VE IN
obedience to the law, said Wothipgton'

SHAW AT BALTIMORE.
He Speaks Before the Commercial
Teachers Association.

Baltimore, April 13.-The annual
convention of the Eastern Commercial
Teachers Association began yesterday
with large attendance from Maine,
Iowa, Louisiana, and nearby states.
Last night the principal addresses were
made by DIR. Daniel c. Gilman, Secre-
tary of Treasury Shaw, and Secretary
of Navy Bonaparte. Shaw said in
part: Il speak not in justification of
the policy; but historicaNw, when say
that since the civil war, with no ex-
ception, the American producer, ar
tisan, and manufacturer have been CIV
en- some advantage, at times only
slight, but some advantage within the
American market. The government
has granted either protection or aid.
to every industry which is now being
prosecuted by our people, and every
industry that can appropriately be
prosecuted, international shipping
alone excepted. The trend, you will
observe, has been towards stronger
national government, with ever in
creasing national supervision.
'"The federal government has exer-
cised the authority, vouchsafed in the
constitution in supervising the inter-
national and interstate commerce. The
national banking act and anti-trust
legislation railway supervision, are
we'll marked instances of the trend
toward stronger central government.
Have we reached the limit? 1t would
seem not. The demand for the federal
supervision of corporations, the insur-
ance control, additional rate legisla
ton, government inspection of goods,
are all looking in the same direction,
and to add to the prospect of a yet
stronger and more centralized govern
ment, cite the fact that the old state
sovereignty party has now become the
most pronounced advocate of the en-
larged federal jurisdiction, and super
vision. The people of the United
States are becoming Hamiltonian's
very rapidly"

passage of the bill thru the house by

admission Of Fannie Diner, pro

the speech, was prompted by steam
ship companies" Hopkins further an
on the part played by Cold
fogle of New York. In supporting the
bill Goldfogle objected to the follow
ing remarks Of Hopkins: $50 COM
pletely was the house deceived that my
friend Goldfogle wanted to extend the
resolution to cover all such cases and
let in all idiots" Goldfogle in a speech
bristling with anger, said the gentle-
men from Kentucky (Hopkins) had
"meanly misrepresented" him; that he
had taken advantage Of the right given
by the house to extend his remarks in
the record,' and had inserted in the
record insinuations that were "unqual-
ifiedly false" The house was in con-
fusion over this statement and the
speaker raped loudly for order. Cold
