Special to The Herald.
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 15.-The
Ocean Accident Insurance company
has refused to pay big accident policy
here on the death of M. L. Hancock, a
millionaire who was killed in an auto
mobile accident in Los Angeles several
months ago, on the ground that the
company cannot pay a claim on an
automobilist, as most of them are
monomaniacs on the question of speed
ing their machines and therefore the
company is not responsible.
The company in it's answer to the
suit which has been filed claims that
the man who was killed was practi-
cally insane on this question, and that
they should not be held liable for
deaths resulting from actions of per-
sons temporarily insane. In the same
answer the company asks that If they
should be held liable it should be only
for half the amount, and the insurance
company claims that their liability is
lessened if the insured shall engage in
any hazardous employment and this, it
is claimed, is covered by automobiling.

NAPLES, April ia Sensational

searchers unearthed two aged women,
still alive but speechless after six days'
entombment. They were among the
hundreds who were crushed beneath
the falling walls during the rain of
stones and ashes last Sunday and Mon
day. Hope had been abandoned of
finding any of these persons alive The
women were protected by the rafters
of the house, and had managed to
exist on few morsels of food which
they had in their pockets.
Nine dead bodies were taken out to-
day, and it is estimated that a hundred
more remain under the ruins. The
work of salvage goes on amid the
twisted masses of fallen houses,
churches and stables, and in deep
drifts of cinders and ashes. At some
points the ashes were ten feet deep,
reaching to the windows of the sec

standing.
