low power. but of distinctly serviceable
appearance. Bodies are OF the conven-

FEAR FURTHER SHOCKS
INHABITANTS OF CALABRIA
ARE PANIC STRICKEN.

ROME October 25.-Little additional
news was received here this morning from
the districts of CaIabria, which were dew
astated by earth shocks during the even
Ing of October -. The bad weather con-
tinues in the south, and it is feared that
many persons are likely to lose their lives
as the result of exposure. fear of a repe-
tition Of the earthquake preventing them
from returning to the villages. MANY of
the homeless people have erected tents or
are living under other temporary cover
ings y few fresh shocks were experi-
enced yesterday, but no further damage
has been reported
The pope has sent supplies Of money To
the clergy of Calabria for the relief of
their suffering parishioners. and has or
dered that the churches be kept open day
and night for the use of the homeless. In
addition to the funds sent by the pontiff
the government has forwarded $1,000 to
the Calabrian authorities for use in tho
relief work and has taken every other
step possible to help the sufferers.
The details received here tend to show
that the damage done was much more ex-
tended than at first estimated. bur that
the loss OF life has not been great The
lowest estimates place the number of kill
eo az about 20. and the highest at about
10 but up to yesterday there had been
nothing to show that the last figures men
TONED were correct.
me shocks were especially severe in the
southern end of the Calabrian peninsula
ana throughout Calabrta there are scenes
or desolatlon and despair
First Shock Terrific.
The first shock was a tremendous one
and was followed by two others of longer
duration. which entirely DESTROYED two
villages and reduced many houses in sew
erai others to mass of ruins.
The first shock fortunately brought the
entire population OF the villages into the
open and many succeeded in making their
escape to the hills or open plains. which
accounts for the smallness of the list of
fatalities. To add to the desolation
caused by the earthquake, it was raining
IN torrents yesterday evening. which
greatly increased the suffering among the
homeless people
Half the houses at Ferruzzano and
brancaleone collapsed and many persons
were buried in the ruins and at SinopoII

Franklin Lane Of the interstate COM
merce commission conferred with the
President this morning about the car
shortage on northwestern railroads. The
situation Is one that the President de-
sired to know about. There Is much dis
satisfaction with the inability of the roads
to handle the business of their lines,
es.ecially in the grain crops and regular
lines of business. AS to a probable coal
famine. Mr.. Lane does not believe there
will be any repetition of the terrible
condition of last winter. That was enough
for the roads. and they have taken time
by the forelock this year and put coal
into the northwest during the summer
season. They are also well supplied with
coal for their engines. The present short
age in cars is due to a number of reasons,
it Is said, one of them being that ma
chinists of some of the roads are on strike
