There were all kinds of expressions
on the part of many persons who hap

would be no more Standard Oil in

sensational bit Of news that has hap
pened lately. There was lots of talk
about Missouri.

ed another. This going back to
candles all in minute is liable to take
a good many folks by surprise.
Then the manager of the Standard
/. Oil company In Atlanta was called up.
An explanation followed 1t seems that
the Standard Oil company Of Kentucky,
with headquarters at Covington, has
controlled all of Georgia save some six
counties in the southwestern part~o
the state. Recently these six coun-
ties also were secured by the Blue
Grass corporation, which meant that
all Of the state was under the control
of the Kentucky company.
In other words, it was only one of
those legal technicalities which do not
effect the real facts in the case and
has nothing whatever to do with the
selling Of oil in any part of Georgia.

The steamer was boarded at~a quar-

these was Gorky's adopted son. Others
were Ivan NaOdny, whose real name

Naples, April 11.-9:1O a. m.--The
morning opened with the atmosphere
oppressive and yellow with ashes from
Mount Vesuvius, causing a feeling of
apprehension regarding what the fu-
ture may hold in store Tor this city
and it's vicinity.
The volcano was completely hidden
in dense mass of cinder-Iaden smoke,
the only other signs of activity being
frequent and very severe detonations
and deep rumblings.
| From all quarters come reports Of
the accumulation Of ashes, the flight
of the terror-stricken inhabitants of
towns and villages, the collapse of
buildings, the insuffieiency OF the relief
measures, hunger and Encouragement.
1t is not possible to reach the inhab-
itants who have suffered most severe
ly. Even the soldiers detailed to guard
the ruins at Ottajano have been. re-
called, and the town has been left to
its fate. The military authorities have
earned the gratitude and admiration of
the people by their devotion to duty
and bravery.
Not only are they credited with
many acts of heroism, but they have
displayed untiring perseverance in
searching for the living and the dead
among the tottering walls, assisting
fugitives to reach places of safety, Civ
ing aid to the wounded and in burying

wind blowing from the volcano.
No danger has been too great for the
troops to encounter, and no fatigue too
severe for them. In this work the
soldiers and others have been showing
worthy example by the Duke and
Duchess of Aosta, who are being prais
ed on all Sides The duke is pro
nounced to be worthy descendant of
the late King Humbert, who in 1884

emitted is not so great and the rum

and cinders are still falling over this

ashes in the streets.
According to the Mattino, so houses,
three churches and the municipal build

ashes and cinders are six feet deep

sought safety in flight. Houses at OF.

Wherever it has been possible, street

The wheels in their friction with the

great amount of surplus energy in the

The loss to property by the volcanic

and it is announced that $4,000 have
been rendered homeless.

RUSSIA AND CHINA
IN ANGRY MOOD
Friction Between Two Forces
In Manchuria.
ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION
Only Concern of America Is that Un.
tertaking of Treaty that Manchuria
Shall Be Evacuated by Both Coun-
tries Shall Be Lived Up To.

Washington, April 11.-Reports Of
friction between the Russian and Chi
nese troops in Manchuria have attract
ed the attention of the state depart
ment. No official information has beer
received on the subject 1t was antic
tpated that the division in the peace
treaty of the responsibility for the po
l1cing of Manchuria for even a limited
term between three nations would re
suit in just such friction as has been
reported.
At point on the railroad connect
ing the Siberian road with Port Arthur
and Dalny, little distance below Har
bin, the Japanese troops are in charge
of the line. Above that point the
road is under the double protection OF
Russian and Chinese troops or railroad
guards.
AS it is understood here both the
Russians and the Japanese are look
ing forward with apprehension to the
time when they must evacuate Man.
churia proper and in each case there
is a strong desire to ensure as large a
holding as possible of the material re-
sources of this rich country, after the
military forces are withdrawn
One way of accomplishing 1t was to
secure the concession for exploitation
of timber, mines and development OF
the agricultural lands ana then to re.
quire the Chinese government to rec,
ognize these holdings when they re.
gain possession of the country But the
Chinese has shown surprising degree
of self-assertion and independence in
dealing with these claims and it is be.
lieved here that the friction that is
now said to have arisen in Manchuria
results from the attempts being made
to induce the Chinese to change their
attitude.
The only concern of the American
government is that the undertaking of
the treaty that Manchuria shall be
evacuated by both Russia and Japan
shall be lived up to, but this, it is
pointed out by officials, is not the time
to raise that issue. A period of 18
months was allowed for the evacuation
and when that time shall nave passed,
if the evacuation is not an accomplish
ed fact, the state department will re-
new its interests.
