Eruption Of vesuvius Causes Half
Million People to Flee From Homes.
Naples, April 9.-Only about 1000
out of $4,000 inhaitants of Tore An
ruziata dare to remain in the town.
The number of fugitives is augment
ing everywhere, and it is estimated
that half million people fed from
their homes. Many persons are leaving
Naples in alarm, traffic on railroads
interrupted, and numbers of fugitives
are going to Sicily by the sea.
The stream of lava, which has been
threatening Tore Annunziata town
of 28,0S4 inhabitants, twelve miles from
Naples, has remained stationary since
last evening, so the danger that that
place would be overwhelmed appears
TO have passed. The action of the vol
cano has perceptibly diminished. The
shower OF ashes ceased to fall over
Naples for time this morning, but be-
can again later in the day. There
were 100000 refugees in this city.
When the last train was leaving Bosco
g,recase, fresh crater opened near
the station. Refugees from Ottajano
saw that ten houses and five churches

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 9.-As
foreshadowed by President Joseph F.
Smith at his opening address before
the mormon conference, two members
were dropped from the quorum of the
twelve apostles at the church election
yesterday. When the nominations
were about to read Apostle Francis l..
Lyman announced that Apostles Mat
tl1ias F. Cowley and John w. Taylor
had rendered their designations on Oct.
% for the reason that they were not in
harmony with the quorum.
Taylor and Cowley are the polyga-
mist apostles who could not be found
when they were subpoenaed before the
senate committee on the S7noot inves-,
tigation. At that time they were be-
lieved to be in Canada.
The recent death Of Mariner w.
Merrill had caused another vacancy in
the quorum and the three places were
filled by the unanimous election Of D..
o. Mckay of Ogden, George F. Rich
ards of Toole and Orson F. Whitney of
Salt Lake City. The vote Of the con-
gregation for President Smith and the
other officers was unanimous. Apostle
Reed was not present.

tity Of ashes and cinders thrown up by
Vesuvius within the last twenty four
hours is unprecedented. An analysis
shows the discharge to be chiefly COM
posed of iron, sulphur and magnesia.
When dry the whole region seemed to
be under a gray sheet, but now, after
a fall of rain, it appears to have been
transformed into an immense lake OF
chocolate.
The evacuation Of threatened vil-
lagos and towns continues, but the
means to transport the inhabitants are
lacking, altho thousands of soldiers
with military carts have been sent TO
places where the sufferers are most
in need of assistance. At many places
the people are suffering from panic,
and a state of great confusion exists.
which has been added to by superstl-
ton. Some parish priests refused to
open their churches to people VINO
tried to obtain admittance,
fearing an earthquake would de-
stroy them when full ofpeople and thus
increased the disaster. Crowds OF
women attacked the churches. pulled
down the doors and took possession OF
the pictures and statues Of saints,
which they carried about as a protec-
ton against death. Many people
camped along the roadside in the fields
outside of Tore Annunziata and Otta-
.iano. where they thought they would
be safer than in the towns, detylnG
the elements tho nearly blinded by
ashes wet to the skin by rain, and ter
rorized by the gigantic, curved flaming
mass above, resembling a scimltar
ready to fall upon them.

New York, April "a plan to es-

lines of the Young Mems Christian
Association, has already taken definite
shape, and has the approval Of Cardi-

er wealthy Catholics have offered their.
aid to the movement. A million dollar

foundation for the movement. Plans
will be thoroughly discussed in Balti-

centennial celebration of the Baltimore
cathedral, and a national committee
will be formed.

Politicians See a Scheme in
Bringing Perkins to Polk
County
WOULD MAKE HIMSELF SAFE
Seventh District Congressman Who
Has Been Waiting Until Time for
Filing Of Nominations for Polk
County Primary Ballot Has Expired
ITO Begin Open War on Governor.
Special to Tfmes-Republican.

Special to Tfmes-Republican
Des Moines, April 9.-An interesting
political story is current here today in
dicating that Congressman Hull is
preparing to enter the campaign
against Cummins in Polk county. The
appearance of the letter asking Per-
kins to come into the campaign is the
basis of the supposition that Hull will
openly fight the governor, and as re-
suit a candidate may be brought out
by the Cummins people to oppose Hull.
The Cummins people have not been
active in opposing Hull and apparent-
ly had made no effort to oppose his
nomination. It was generally UNDER
stood that Hull's nomination would not
enter into the gubernatorial contest.
Hull himself has been keeping quiet,
tacitly giving the understanding that
he would keep sort of armed truce
with the Cummins faction. 1t leaks
out today, however, that Hull and his
friends were only waiting for the ex-H
piration of the time when candidates
for congress could file nomination pa
pers on the Polk county primary bal-s
lot to begin open warfare on
Cummins. That time expires tomor-
row.
Politicians claim he has shown his
hand in the letter asking Perkins to
enter the Polk county primary cams
paign.1 The names signed to this peti-
ton were all close Hull advisers in-s
cluding Berryhill and Johnson. There
is talk that the Cummins people may
bring out candidate for congress to-
day. but who it will be is not known.

NO "LIDu FOR DAVENPORT.
Waldo Becker, Democrat, Is the New
Mayor, Elected There Saturday.

Special to Times-Republican.
Davenport, April 9.-The vote polled
here Saturday was the largest ever
cast here at municipal election, and
closed a spirited campaign, which re-
suited in a victory of the entire demo-
cratic ticket, and eleven out of twelve
aldermen. Mayor Harry w. Phillips,
republican candidate for e-election,
was defeated by 800 votes. The Of
ficials elected are: Mayor, Waldo
Becker; clerk, Hugo Moeller; treas
urer, William G. Moth; assessor, Ignatz
Hid; police magistrate, Louise Rod
dewig.
No important local issue was in
volved, the rivalry between the heads
Of the ticket being responsible for the
large vote. The fight over the mid
night closing Of the saloons, favored
by the republicans was won by the
democrats, and Davenport refuses even
a semblance of a '1id.''

KILLS WIFE; TAKES a NAP.

Police Find Man Asleep by Corpse Of
Woman He Had Beaten to Death.
Baltimore, Md, April 9.-Because his
9-year-old son Thomas did not COOK q
meal quick enough to please him John
T. Kennedy yesterday created dis
turbance that attracted his sick wife
from her bedroom to the kitchen OF
their home in a tenement house a
fight ensued between the man and his
wife, in which the latter was so badly
beaten that she died soon afterward.
A neighbor, summoned by the child,
found the mother still alive, but un-.
conscious and placed her on a coucn
beside which Kennedy lay down and
went to sleep. The police heard noth-
ing Of the affair for more than hve
hours, when officers went to the house
and found Kennedy still asleep beside
the corpse. He made a statement to
the officials in which he acknowledged
having beaten his wife while he was
intoxicated, but said he did not think
he was striking her hard enough TO
kill her.
