italian at Asbury Park Takes
Novel Means of Escaping
Murder Trial.
NOW IN NATIVE COUNTRY
1T is DOUBTFUL IF HE WILL BE
RETURNED TO THIS COUNTRY
AS EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM is
SLIGHT.
Publishers PresS1

Asbury Park, n. J., April Is
From a Neptune township official it
is learned that Mitchell D. Lauro,
formerly of West Park, wanted for
the murder last summer of Frank
Rozzo, growing out of a love affair,
escaped seven days after the tragedy.
Secreted in beer barrel into which
he was placed by his countrymen
and driven in beer ark to the steam
er Mary Patten, at Pleasure Bay with
De Lauro inside, the barrel on arri-
val in New York was carried to an
Italian steamer bound for Naples and
lowered into the hold, when safely
outside Sandy Hook De Lauro was re-
leased by his companions and Joined
the ships passengers. He later re-
paired to his home in Italy, where it
is said he is living peacefully.
The murderer was indicted but
whether the county officials will en-
deavor to eXtradite him is doubtful, in
view of the fact that 1t would be al
most impossible to collect evidence
necessary TO secure his conviction.

ITALIAN AND AMERICAN oBSER-
vERS WHO STUCK TO THEIR
POSTS sUBsISTED DURING THE
ERUPTION ON FIGS AND NUTS.

Naples, April 16.-While conditions
are slowly improving in the area de-
vastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesu-
vius it will be many days before con-
ditions of complete tranquility are
restored. The rain of sand at Terrigno
Ottajano and San Giuseppe stopped at
eleven o'clock Saturday night, only to
be renewed again at 2 Sunday after
noon. So dense was this latter shower
that the entire region was in practi-
cally absolIte darkness.
Observer Mattucci at the Royal OBJ
servatory states that the ashes des-
troyed the store of provisions he had
on hand and he aud his assistants,
one of whom is Frank Ferret, the
American engineer, had subsisted ev-

than two tons falling all over the
roadbed. Mattucci states that he will

was asked to dictate a statement as
to the volcanic cause, etc, but said:
Eruption Began May 27.
Il am not here for journalistic pur-
poses. | am a scientist and make my
observation as such
Mattucci dates the beginning of the
present eruption as May 27, 1905, and
declares its movement was so slow as
to be impercetible until the last aper-
ture occurred near Pompeii.
The flow of lava which a few days
ago was moving at the rate of five
metres minute in certain sections
has now practically ceased.
Mattuci states that he does not fear
a renewal of the eruption.

RAIN AND WIND
ON EASTER DAY
New Outfits Did Not Generally
Appear Although a Few
Braved Weather.
FINE CHURCH SERVICES
IN STRONG CONTRAST WITH
OUTSIDE-HoUSES WORSHIP
PRESENTED A BEAUTIFUL AP.
PEARANCE.

Probably never before in the his
tory of the city was Easter Day more
generally observed than yesterday.
The churches were we'll attended,
both in the morning and evening, and
the spirit of Easter tide prevailed
everywhere.
In spite of the beautiful services in
the churches, the sun was lacking. A
cold damp wind blew all day, and not
one bright ray was sent from behind
the clouds Worse yet, there is more
to come, because early yesterday
morning, there was a little rain,
which means that for seven Sundays
there viii invariably be rain, as Eas-
ter Sunday sets the mark.
After the fine weather of the past
week, no more disagreeable day could
have been imagined. Spring clothes
Easter gowns and hats had to be laid
over until the weather became more
propitious. Some weathered the wind
however, but they looked strangely
out of place.
In many of the churches. especially
the Catholic, Lutheran and st. Paul
Episcopal. there were tastefully ar
ranged decorations which lent beauty
to the interiors. In nearly eve-y in
stance, the sermons dealt with the
happy spirit of Easter.

Investigation Shows 27, 1886
Equitable Policies Under
$1,000 Expired in Year.
CONFIDENCE is RESTORED
THE POLICY Hot, IRIS ARE NOW
RECOVERING FROM THEIR
PANIC BECAUSE OF ABSOLUTE
: soLvENcY OF COMPANIES.

New York, April 15.-That it was
the small policyholders who suffered
most from the fears resulting from
the insurance agitation and investf-
cations of the past year, has been
demonstrated by the efforts of the
new management toward the restora-
tion of lapsed policies in the Equita-
BILE. Investigation shows that the fear
engendered by the development of
the year resulted in the lapsing of
1885 policies for $1,000 or under,
while only one policy for $4,000 was
allowed to lapse. OF the entire volume
of lapsed policies in the Equitable,
"a per cent were, for $4,000 or less
Panic Has Ceased.
A gratifying feature of the situation
as II now stands is that the general
realization of the fact that the inves-
LEGATIONS have demonstrated beyond
question the absolute solvency of all
of the large companies. So far as the
Equitable is concerned the panic Of
the policy holders is at an end. The
new managements desire to aid those
who allowed their policies to lapse,
and the arrangements by which rein
statement was made as easy as, pos
sible, have been fully appreciated. In
the past ten days more than four
thousand applications for reinstate-
ment have been received at the Home
Office. Many are applying to their
agents throughout the country, and
applications are coming in at the rate
, of more than two hundred day.
Confidence Restored.
wVhese letters make it plain that
confidence in the Society has been re-
stored to a degree that is reassuring
to the new management, instead of
simply filling out the card which was
sent them and returning 1t, many
have sent checks for premiums due,
while others have written expressions
of thanks for the interest displayed
in their welfare.
. The correspondence has revealed
many pathetic instances illustrative
of the hardships which resulted from
the panic. .......
