'VESUVIlJS Is
AGAIN ACTIVE
Throws Mud. Sand and
Ashes on Surrounding
Towns.

Naples, April 39.-;Another disaster
has occurred in the Vesuvius region.
Throughout the night torrents of rain
fell, accompanied By heavy gale of
wind, causing large ayalanches of mud,
sand, ashes and cinders to fall over
Somma and Santa Anastasia, destroy
ing bridges, blocking the roads, flood
ing many habitations, interrupting
by telegraph and carry
ing away portions Qf the railway
Troops and military wagons were hur-
riedlyz dispatched to the assistance of
the sufferers.
The inhabitants 0f the stricken
places mentioned we've awakened by
a roaring. rushing sound, which was
absolutely new to them, and on run
ming out Of their houses they found
their property threatened by new
horror, the fall Of iaya1anches Of sand,
ashes, etc. Their terror was extreme.
The women and children fed, scream
inS with fright, into the open country,
but In spiteIo the aValanches, food
anu gales no loss OF life has been re-
ported. It Is believed. that while the
storms rage Vesuvius is liable to be a
continual menace to life and property
and that the. people in the region of
the volcano may have visitations OF a
more serious nature than the ava
lanches. 2.

Action Begun in Ohio to
Revoke Charter Of
Standard Oil.
SECRET TRADE AGREEMENT
ALLEGED In COURT.
Seventeen Affiliated Companies
Included in the
Suit.

Toledo, O., April 3O-Alleging that
the Standard Oil company and seven
teen affiliated companies have secret
trade agreement by which they control
production and transportation OF oil
and gas Prosecutor l.. w. Wachen-
heimer OF Lucas county has filed suit
lii the circuit court asking revocation
Of their charters and dissolution OF the
illegal agreement III addition to the
Standard the following corporations
are named as DEFENDANTS: The Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, Toledo
and Ohio Central and Hooking Valley
Railroad companies; Standard Oil com
pany of Ohio, Indiana, New York and
New Jersey; Buckeye Pipe Line COM
pany, Solar Refining company, Ohio
Oil company, Northwestern Ohio Nat
ural Gas company, Union Tank COM
pany Of Pennsylvania, Indiana Pipe
Line company Of Indiana, the National
Transit company Of New Jersey, Penn
sylyania Oil company OF Pennsylvania
and the South Penn Oil company Of
Pennsylvania.
In the petition it is alleged that the
production of oil was reduced for the
purpose Of increasing the price to con
suners. 1t Is set up that this reduc-
ton amounts to 50 per cent, while the
price Of gas to the consumer public
has been increased 100 per cent.
Reference to the alleged trade pact
10 Sensational The charge is made
that the companies named az defend
ants, have bound themselves not to
sell or transport oil or gas below
certain standard rate. ------,----- ----.-
Queries are directed, in the petition,
to the railroad companies presidents,
asking them whether rebates are
given, directly or indirectly, to the oil
companies and whether the oil con-
Germs have not been given pipe line
rights on the railroads.
It developed during the afternoon
that Prosecutor Wachenheimer filed
the suits against the Standard Oil and
other companies on behalf of Attor-
neY'General Ellis. This is especially
significant, together with the an
nouncement from the prosecutor that
the case will be prosecuted with all
possible dispatch. The fact that the
state.is behind the Toledo prosecuting
attorney in the action gives it strength
which otherwise 1t would not possess.
Judge Shaufelberger of the law firm
OF Doyle & Lewis, which represents a
majority OF the companies named as
defendants; has announced that the
case will be fought to the bitter end
by the corporations named as defend
ants,
