CITIES
BEING DESERTED

Paris, April 30.-The panic among
the people of this and other French
cities continues to grow and the ex-
odus from the country continues un-
abated SO serious is the situation
considered that the prefect of police
Sunday issued formal appeal to the
people of the city of Paris imploring
them to be calm and remain at their
homes.
Every train that left this city Sun
day and Sunday night was filled with
frightened Parisians laden with their
valuables, who are making their way
out of the country to remain until
after Tuesday when the outbreak is
looked for, if at all. So taxed was the
railroad companies that it became ne
cessary for many who wanted to get
out of the country to use automo-
biles, and an almost continual process
sion of these vehicles was in evidence
on the roads leading out of the city.

NO FRIGHT
Caused by the Additional
Earthquake Shocks.
Underground China
town Exposed-The
Long Tunnels.

San Francisco, April 30.-There
were two light shocks Of earthquake
here early this morning. No dam
age was done and the people have be
come so accustomed to the manifesta-
tions that there was no fright. All
over the burned district gangs of me
with teams went to work today exca.
waiting the ruins The boats from
across the bay and the trolley cars
from the suburbs were early crowded
with laborers, and the unwonted activ-
ity marked the beginning of the real
effort at rehabilitation. Relief work
was continued ON large scale. un-
der General Greedy and with closer
check than ever against waste and
giving to the unworthy.
NO MORE LOOTING.
Looting has been eliminated and
Chinatown, which was suffered most.
is now surrounded by a military cor
don. In some sections the water sup
ply is almost as plentiful as before
the earthquake and the extension of
street car, telegraph and telephone
systems is proceeding. A small per
centage of illness is reported.
Now that underground Chinatown
is exposed. the police, who thought
that they had good idea Of the ram
ifications there, are astonished at the
revelations. No family of rodents ever
tunnelled more persistently and in
geniously as did the denizens OF this
quarter. So complete was the chain
of subways that every part of China
town had its underground exit. The
main arteries have been traversed as
far as Kearney street on the south
and Powell street, on the north, a
distance of three blocks. The tunnels
extend under the streets This subter.
ranean maze explains the mysterious
escapes of Chinese criminals and the
failure of many raid upon fantan
games and slave dens.

THE 'NARROWS"
Will Be Improved With State Money
Amounting to $1,000.

Canton township will receive about
$17OO this year with which to build
sample mile of road. The road
which will be improved will be a
stretch south of Canton known as
the 'Narrows." The money which
will be received by Stark county for
this work, and which was turned over
to Canton township, will not be
enough to improve the road, so it is ex-
pected that next years appropriation
will also be used for this purpose. AS
all of this money has to be used in
one particular place, this will leave
Perry township out for at least two
years before any road can be improy-
ed in that township.
The state aid will become effective
today and it expected that work on
the "Narrows' will commence at
once.

tiers are still in somewhat mixed
shape, although the general tendency

to be to disregard the Stanley kissing
episode and nominate Governor Hoch

the easiest sailing, but it would ap-
pear the cooler heads Of the party are
of the opinion that to turn him down
would cause the party to face a great
er crisis than woulc be the case
should he be renamed.
Fully rs per cent of the delegates
were sent to Topeka with inStruc-
tions for Hoch. TO repudiate these
instructions would place the candi

BETTER PATENT LAWS
ASKED BY ATTORNEYS

Washington, April 29.-The leading
patent attorneys of the country Will
ask President Roosevelt to improve
the methods of the patent office SO
that their clients may be adequately
protected. There are now 20,846 cases

hind at the rate of 5000 cases a year.
This is attributed to defective busi-
ness methods, red tape and old time
usages. In 1901 there were s,5l0 cases
that did not receive attention. In 1909
the number had increased to 10.Ol9;
In 1908 to 11,OOO; in 1904 to 12.141; in
1905 to 16,026. and now the number,

AND
MINERS FIGHT

Mount Carmel, Pa, April S0.-After
the worst day in the history of this
section, matters are much quieter to-
night and the forty members of the
state constabulary who have been
compelled to bear the brunt of the
fighting with the foreign element
among the miners, have received re-
Inducements. Thirty members
of the Reading company are also here
and according to the officers, they
have the situation well in hand,
During the several fights between
the rioters and the mounted police
today, 25 men were shot, of whom
ten will die
Sheriff Hairless ana the members OF
the constabulary were not sure that
they had conditions under control
until late hour tonight and although
matters are at present quiet there is
no way of saying how safe the situa-
tiou is.
RIOTERS LEFT.
A number of the leaders of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America hurried
down to Mount Carmel tonight and
went at once to the Sayre colliery
where most of the rioters were located
and begged and appealed them to re
main away from the troops. Their in
fluence had an effect, in that the riot
ers soon left the vicinity.
For several hours today the rioters
had full possession of the town and
this fact alone has given them much
confidence. 1t was because he knew
this that Lieut.. Smith, in command OF
the state constabulary gave the order
to fire and the first few Volleys were
wasted in the air or on the ground
Finally, however, when it became
certain that only stern repressive meas
ures could have any effect the car
bines of the state police were levellet
at the crowds, and the casualties al
ready enumerated resulted.
OF the not fatally hurt by the volley
of bullets nearly all are suffering witt
slight flesh wounds and their reCoV
cry is but a matter of a short time.
