MAXIM GORKY
TALKS OF RUSSIA
GREAT NOVELIST SAYS He
WILL NOT REMAIN IDLE
Greeted .ats.NeW York by Many OF
His countrymen-Husband and
Wits Nearly Overcome by
Emotion
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 1O-"I do not
know how long or how short my stay
In this country will be, but of this 1
am sure that while here L will try to
Go something for my fatherland."
Surrounded by his friends, many of
whom are political exiles themselves,
Maxim Gorky, the Russian novelist,
made this statement in his cabin on
board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
which arrived in port this evening
after a rough passage.
Gorky, who was registered in the
passenger list under his real name of
Peshkoff, was accompanied by his wife
and secretary. He is a man of 3S,
about five feet six inches tall. His
hair and mustache are light, his eyes
are blue and his nose sharp. He wore
long black overCoat over his Russian
blouse, high around his neck.
Adopted Son Greets Novelist
The Kaiser Wilhelm was boarded at
quarantine by a large delegation of
Russians, representing many different
political parties. Chief among these
was Gorky's adopted son, who came
to this country a year ago, and Ivan
Narodny, whose real name is Sybal,
the eXiled leader of the military reyo-
lutionary party.
Gorky received the men on the upper
deck with his wife, and at the first
moment seemed quite overcome by the
meeting CT so many old friends.
Il do not believe in the douma," he
said, nor in the present method of
holding elections. The elections have
no connection whatever with the lib
Grafton of the people. The Social Dem
ocratS are not taking part in the cleo
tions as a party, though a great many
have been elected individually. In
Moscow alone the workmen elected
forty-seven of their class to the sec
ondary electoral college. That the
douma will bring quiet and prosperity
] do not believe. The actual condition
of the revolution in Russia is this:
People Are Starving
an more than twenty-five provinces
the people are starving to DEATH using
all the money they have received to
buy arms with"
Here somebody interrupted him and
asked whether he thought the reVolu-
tion could succeed without arms.
Gorky smiled broadly and said:
you know from historical precedents
that it is impossible"
Then when asked what he intended
to do in this country, Gorky expressed
his wish to be useful to his fatherland
while on the American continent.

POPE Plus x SENDS RENEDIcTloN
Victims of Disaster Who Lost Their
All Receive Financial Aaid
By Associated Pres


NAPLES, April 10.-When morning
broke today the outlook was promis-
ing for an amelioration of the condi-
tions consequent upon the activity of
Mount Vesuvius.
The hopefulneSs of the population,
however, was short-lived and the Ma
politans were plunged into a condition
bordering on a frenzy by the collapse
of the Mount Oliveto market, which
covered plot of ground 600 feet square,
the structure falling upon 200 or more
persons, OF whom twelve were killed,
two mortally injured, twenty -four dan
gerously and 100 less seriously injured.
Several of the dead were crushed and
mangled beyond recognition.
The scenes in the vicinity of the
ruins were agonizing, relatives of the
victims clamoring to be allowed to go
to their dead or dying. Only by the
firm intervention of the police and
carbineers was it possible to keep back
the crowd from overwhelming those
who were engaged in the work of res
cue.
Prospects Seem Hopeless
While early in the day the volcanic
activity of Mount Vesuvius appeared
to have diminished as night approached
the prospect of immediate relief faded
away and the fate of the villages and
towns grouped around the volcano
seemed more helpless. Instead of de-
creasing, the fall of sand and ashes
emitted from the crater increased.
Even with the sun shining in the
heavens the light was dim yellow, in
the midst of which the few people who
remained In the stricken towns, their
clothing. hair and boards covered with
ashes, moved about in the awful still
ness of desolation like graves.
Flow of Lava Starts Again
The flow of lava from the volcano,
which had almost ceased during the
night, recommended again early today
and the fall of volcanic ejecta III the
Vesuvian commune5 has been enorm-
Gus. 1t is feared that the weight OF
ashes on roofs will cause the collapse
of many more buildings here and in
the towns and villages nearer the vol
cano.
Director Matteucci, who continued at
his post in the observatory, telegraphed
tonight that the volcano was generally
calm last night, with an occasional
sharp explosion, these becoming more
violent toward morning. Director Mat
teucci says his seismic instruments in
dicate great subterranean agitation.

Helena have forwarded to Premier

LORD KITCHENER
Special Gable to The Herald.

LONDON, April 1O.-Valentine Chi
rol, director of the foreign department
of the Times, makes, under an anony-
nous, title, the bitterest attack against
Lord Kitchener which has yet been
published.
Chirol declares Kitchener's "increas-
ing masterfulness, intolerance of oppo-
sition and disregard of native GUS
toms" have brought the huge native
army of India almost to the point OF
mutiny.
Chirol goes on to disclose the fact
that shortly before Kitchener was Or
dered from Egypt to the Boer war there
occurred, due to Kitchener's disregard

ST. PETERSBURG, April 1O-Ru-
mors of a complete reorganization Of
the cabinet are current here tonight.
Many we'll informed persons believe
that the fight between Premier Witte
and Interior Minister Durnovo will re-
suit in the retirement of both but that
no change will take place until the
pending loan negotiations are con-
cluded.
Finance Minister Shipoff and Minis
ter of Commerce Federoff are also said
to be slated to go.
M. Yermoloff. former minister of ag-
riculture, who holds extremely liberal
views, Is regarded as the most likely
to be appointed as Count Whites sue
cessor in the premiership.
Paper Publishes Menacing Article
In the midst of these sensational re-
ports of complete smashup of the
Witte cabinet the Russkoe Gosu-
darstvo, the official organ, strikes a
very menacing note in a remarkable
article entitled "At the Rubicon," lay
ing the onus of the attempts to prevent
the conVocation of the national parlia-
ment to the revolutionists and appeal
ing to the representatives to come to-
gether not as extremists but in sober,
constructive spirit.
In this case, the article says, reforms
may be accomplished, as the parlia-
ment will not be gagged; but the warn
ing is given that "a discordant tone
will spoil the music and lead to the
dissolution of the parliament.
The article, adverting to the recent
assassination of the governor of Tver,
holds that the event constitutes a justi-
fication for continued repression, mot
as a governmental caprice, but as a
hard necessity"

NAPLES, April 10, (via Rome) ).-Re-
ports have reached this city that fully
500 people have met n horrible fate In
the country between OttajanO and San
Giuseppe.
Full details are lacking, but it is
known that the loss of life In these
districts has been very heavy.
In every way possible relief is being
sent to the sufferers, many wealthy
citizens who escaped having placed
their fortunes at the command of those
who lost not only members of their
families but their property as we'll.

NAPLES. April II. $50 a. MA great
eruption of sand is observed on the
east side of the main crater. This is
worse than ashes, as it is heavier. The
election of ashes seems to have di-
ninished. ..f,. ...,s si.--
Fresh shocks of earthquake are be-
ing felt, especially in the direction of
Ottajano, Somma and Nola. Fortunate
ly the great amount of ashes on the
ground seems to have counteracted the
telluric action of the shocks. Another
part of the main cone of the volcano
has fallen in, causing great discharge
of red hot stone, flame and smoke.
Reports from Sicily state that ashes
from Mouth Vesuvius are noticeable
there.

A Velveteen Suit,

Dear Miss Lee: I would like to make velveteen
suit at home Will you kindly tell me what style
jacket would be easiest to make, also if it needs any
pressing? would like to put few pleats in the
skirt Will you kindly tell if I must press themf
If so, would Like to know how think 1t is diff
cult to press velveteen. The suit is for young lady
of lS-5 feet inches tall, SO bust and 22 waist
measure Mrs. r: W.
The seams Of ve1veteen are, I know, a stumbling
block to many amateur dressmakers and to avoid the
Puckering that always will itself when machine
sewing veveteen it is well to in strip of crino
line with the This will not only prevent the
puckering, but will also lessen the amount OF press
ing. Two persons are necessary when pressing vel
veteen; one will hold iron upwards, the other
will pass the seam, wrong side of material Of course
across the iron a
If you baste the pleats well, and then hold down
With tapes It will not be necessary to press them
Take out the bastng threads the very last thing
The easiest coat model becoming to the young lady
will be a semi fitting pony style, made with seams
from the shoulders, back and front, which may be
braid trimmed and the conventional coat sleeves
trimmed with little braid at the wrists The front
edges Of the coat may be trimmed with braid and
braid ornaments, or it might close slightly double
breasted, with loops Of cord passing handsome
buttons.

The only thing that see to be done with the
seal plush coat is to lay in of golden tan leather

braid and decorating with pretty buttons
The vest should end just below the waist line and
then should cut off eight inches from the bot
tom of the coat and with it make the sleeves larger
at the top in medium puff style. The cuffs may re-
main, or those matching the vest may be substituted
II you do not wish to shorten your coat, then you
could cut the sleeves length and the

Gown for a Wedding.

Dear Miss Lee I would like your valuable advice
in making up dress, want it to wear at a we'd
ding but it will have to do for the theater we'll,
and cannot 60 to very much expense. have about
yards of the gauze, and 2a yards Of the silk both
20 inches wide. I have black satin skirt with
circular founce which is trimmed with half inch black
velvet ribbon but it never fitted well the hips
There were halfinch tucks five inches deep all around
which I have ripped. I thought Of having the new
suspender effect of the black, and would like some
color to go with it. Mrs r. W
The gauze and silk both being SO narrow would
not possibly make whole gown, SO I fancy you are
thinking of nice dressy waist to be worn with
the black satin skirt, thus making complete toilet.
The pearl silk will make excellent lining for the
goldstriped gauze. Make transparent collar and
small neck empiecement of ecru lace, and
over the fitted lining gather the gauze forming deep
round yoke Of shirring. Bring into belt Of pansy
velvet and add little velvet bows to the yoke Make
full puff sleeves of the gauze smaller pufs Of
the silk confined d BY lace cuffs and if you tall and
slender, tie to the arms with pansy velvet.
Taking the skirt, [ suppose the material is cut
away underneath the founee, and, if So, then the
model cannot be greatly changed.
The part above the Hounce could, however be
made smooth fitting over the hips, and If you like
the change the velvet ribbon could cover the gore
seams ending in simple design on the Aounee.

G.-Mrs. Y. A.
am almost afraid to suggest Jacket from the
remnants on hand. An outer garment comes in for
SO much observation you see and while it might result
satisfactorily, there is equal chance Of its being
failure. [ think should prefer either to trim a
whole gown with it or else make a fancy waist from
the pieces combined with pretty contrasting ma
teral. Being crushed joins will not readily show

Jumper waist using the two pieces, each measuring

from odd cuttings, or Of lace OF passementerie
In fact, something that would may be in the
house, perhaps Just your mind over your DOS
sessions in this line. The yard would come in
for handsome puff sleeves while the guimpe could
be of anything almost that you wish Black and white

are all suggestions that be carried out as best
suited to your needs. "s. .... E..
