Boston Official 4SusPends ComPanys
License -ErtOrtioR alleged.

Boston April 6-secretary Of State William
NJ. OIin to-day suspended the license OF the
Metropolitan Coal Company. OF this city. which
had been charged with fixing extOrtionate prices
on coal since the coal strike movement was
begun
Secretary OIIn does not actually find. how
ever. that the prices are extortionate. and he
does not revoke the license on that complaint
He concludes that there is fair question as
TO whether the price OF coal as recently hxed
by the company Is not exorbltant and excessive.
and he suspends the license under the statute
which permits him 10 take such action for Just
and sufficient reasons" Secretary Oln believes
that the entire question Is one for the judiciary.
and his finding Is in the nature OF probable
cause. so that the question may be considered
by the Superior Court. 70 which the coal COM
pany has the right 20 appeal

in two evening papers. 1t would be very inter

'Is it untrue?" he was asked.
1T is absolutely untrue so far as I know any
thing about the conditions" said Mr.. Odell
NO one has asked me to call a special meeting
of the committee in the immediate future, and
know of nothing that would warrant calling to-
gether the committee at this time"
Colonel Dunn. OF Binghamton. Is quoted as
saying that Immediately following the adjourn
ment of the Legislature the committee will meet
and elect a new chairman 1T was suggested,
THAT also is important II true said Mr..

Gruber and John Fl. Gunner. both hitherto ad-
herents of President Parsons in the county COM

said MIR. Gruber. "and I am free to say that
prefer the one got up by Mr. Halpin and the
state chairman. II strikes me as a fairer all

and tonight he will attend the dinner at the

PANIC NEAR VESUV[US.
VILLAGERS IN FLIGHT
Column of Flame Thousand Feet
High-LaUa'S Rapid FIo1c.

Naples. April 6.-The Inhabitants OF the vii
lagos near Mount Vesuvius are in a condition
bordering panic. Many homes have been
abandoned for the open air. although there has
been a thick fog all day and the atmosphere
has been dense with volcanic ashes and the
fumes of subterranean fires. The churches are
crowded day and night with people praying for
deliveranoe from impending peril. signs Of
which heard and felt in explosions which re-
senble a heavy cannonading and I'm the tren
blings of the earth. which are constantly recur-
ring
The main stream Of lava proceeding from We
suvius is 200 feet wide and II advances at times
at the rate Of twenty-one feet a minute, the
intense heat destroying vegetation before the
stream reaches it. The peasants of Portici at
the west foot OF Vesuvius cleared their ground
OF vineyards and trees IN the effort TO lessen
the danger from fire. and resisted the progress
OF the lava TO their utmost. The population OF
Boscotrecase. the southern declivity of the
mountain, have sought safety in flight. and
Bosco Reale. to the eastward, is also threatened.
Women OF this village. weeping with fright
ried a statue OF st. Anne as near as they could
go to the flowing lava. imploring a miracle TO
stay the advance OF the consuming stream. The
cemetery at Boscotrecase has been invaded by
lave.
The scene at night is one OF mingled grandeur
and horror From the summit Of Vesuvius there
leaps column OF fire fully a thousand feet
in height the glare lighting tho sky ana sea
for many miles. Occasionally great masses of
molten stone. some weighing as much as ton,
are elected from the crater.
The village Of Tore del Greco which has been
eight times destroyed and as often rebuilt, is
again threatened. and the Inhabitants are in
extreme terror.
Signor Matteucci. director of the observatory
is working indefatigably He has had military
engineers establish telephone connection be-
tween the observatory and points within the
zone Of volcanic activity. The director said this
evening that although the eruption presented a
grave menace. he did not believe It would reach
the villages Indeed. he said. the present activity
was not altogether unmixed with good. for II II
had not come TO pass a violent and sudden
eruption, having far wider radius. might have
occurred.
The main mass Of lava has divided one stresrn
threatening otfaiano. a commune Of 10000 In
habitants. and tie other Tore del Greco. which
has a population Of 10000.
From the new crater. which Is twenty feet in
circumference, the lava has moved two miles and
a half I'm the direction of Pompeii. Hot mud
ashes and black sand also elected. which
mixed with rain produce the so-called caustic
rain which is damaging to vegetation. Although
the showers Of cinders here have diminished,
people can be seen holding up umbrellas as pro-
lection against the ashes.
