Horror Is Growing

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-According to
information received today the King
ston horror is growing. Communication
with the island is partially restored
and every message that comes brings
fresh details of the appalling catas-
trophe.
The number of dead is placed va
riously at from 500 to 1900 and the
number of injured runs into the thou
sands. Ten thousand people are said
to be homeless.
The danger of famine has increased
and with it stalks the spectre of pesti-
lence. There is urgent need of sup
plies of all kinds and energetic efforts
are being made in this country and in
England to send aid.
The business section of the city has
been wiped out and the estimates Of
the damage range from s1O.OOO,OOO to
$25, ,OOO, 900.
Among the dead and injured are a
number of prominent English persons
and almost every dispatch adds new
name to the list. Eight Americans are
reported as missing and it is said that
many tourists undoubtedly were
crushed by falling walls in the shipping
district.
The American battleship Missouri
and Indiana have reached the scene

|NFURIATEO WIFE
STAbS HUSBAND
WORKED TO FRENZY BY MANS
ATTACK
Pieces of Skull VIII Have to Be Re-
moved, and the Wounds May
Have Fatal
Ending

With body a mass of cuts, skull frac-
tured in two places and right arm
broken in three, Louis Corpello, a ne
gro living at 1751 East Ninth street,
is lying in the receiving hospital and
If he lives will be held on a charge of
assault, while his wife, who is said to
have inflicted the wounds, is confined
in the city Jail and will be held until
the outcome of her husbands wounds
is known.
According to the story of the officer
who investigated the case, Corpella re-
turned to his home last night after
a days debauch. The drunken man at
once began an argument with his wife,
but Mrs. Corpello informed him she
was going to retire, as she had big
days work to do today. The woman
then started to leave the room. AS
she passed through the door leading
into the bedroom Corpello Is said to
have sprung at his wife with a large
butcher knife. Mrs. Corpello is small
woman but is said to have put up a
terrific fight. Her hsuband is said to
have at last succeeded in knocking her
to the floor and for several minutes
the woman lay unconscious.
When she at last regained her senses
she tried to arise from the floor. AS
she did so Corpello is said to have
again sprung at the weakened woman
with the knife. Mrs. Corpello is said
to have then grappled with her hus-
band and at last succeeded In taking
the knife from the infuriated man.
Maddened at the injuries which had
been done her. Mrs. Corpello Is said to
have then attacked her husband and
made frantic efforts to stab him to
death. The knife was used as sword
and Mrs. Corpello Is said to have
brought the heavy blade down on her
husbands skull with great force a
number of times. In attempting to
guard against the blows Corpello threw
his arm above his head and in this
way the bones in his arm were frac-
tured So infuriated was Mrs. Corpello
at the man that she is said to have
continued stabbing even after he lay
unconscious on the floor.
When he was examined at the re-
ceiving hospital 1t was found that
great pieces of bone would have to be
removed from his skull The woman
was slightly injured, the four fingers
of her right hand being cut by the
blade of the knife when she grasped 1t.
According to the physicians who
treated the man 1t is improbable he
will survive, as the wounds are of too
serious a nature.

LOS ANGELES MAN
MAKES UNIQUE CLAIM
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ia unique
claim for relief money has been adj
vanced by George V. Trott, a refugee
who removed to Los Angeles.
He demands that he be given share
of the relief fund equal in size to that
awarded any other fire sufferer. Unless
his demands are complied with Trott
threatens the rehabilitation committee
prosecution for embezzlement.
District Attorney Langdon received
a letter today from Trott from 1872
Halldale avenue, Los Angeles, in which
he states that he lost heavily at the
time of the fire. and went to Los Ange-
les with his mother, who died shortly
after leaving him N'ith a large bill for
funeral expenses. He wrote to the re-
habilitation committee asking its as
sistance and the matter was referred to
the associated charities of Los Angeles,
which body recommended him for as
sistance. He says that after waiting
nine weeks he received notice that
nothing could be done for him as he
had removed from San Francisco.

Conuress Gives Relief

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-An emer-
gency bill for the relief of the sufferers
the island of Jamaica was passed by
the house today.
Without division the bill was sent
to the senate.
Mr.. Tawney, in explaining the need
of this emergency measure, said that
the secretary of the navy had re-
ceived a wireless message from one OF
the battleships which had touched al
Kingston that the devastation was even
greater than reported and that the
British government did not know OF
the extent of the disaster.
Without waiting for the authority
of congress, however, Secretary Met
calf had telegraphed Admiral Evans
to send the supply ship Celtic, which
is now on her way to Guantanamo, to
Kingston and turn over her full cargo
of supplies to the sufferers of the
stricken city.
The bill did not reach the senate be.

be taken up by that body tomorrow.

REPORTS OF DAMAGE
IN STRICKEN CITY
ARE CONFLICTING
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Reports Of
the damage done in Kingston, Jamaica,
by earthquake and fire and as to the
loss of life and the number of injured
were still of conflicting character to-
day. This is probably due to the con-
fusion in the stricken city such as al
ways ensues after a great disaster.
Newspaper men and others who have
arrived at the telegraph station con-
Meeting with Holland Bay all have diff
ferent versions of the catastrophe and
the loss of life.
The statements as to the latter must
of necessity be largely conjectural until
search of the ruins has been made
and this must take some days.
According to the latest advices the
city was not destroyed, but nearly
every building in the place sustained
some damage. Practically the entire
business section, however, was ruined
by the quakes or by fire.
Hundreds Buried in Debris
When the first great shock came
Monday afternoon many buildings all
over the town collapsed, burying hun
dreds of persons in the debris. OF
these many were killed but the greater
part were injured, and most of them
were rescued.
The shock was followed by lighter
tremors and then fire started in the
ruins along the water front. The
flames spread rapidly, as the water
pipes had been broken and there was
nothing with which to fight the flames,
A strong wind was blowing and this
helped to spread the flames.
The fire ragged until an early hour
Tuesday morning when luckily the
wind changed and the fire having moth
ing further to feed on burned itself out.
All the buildings along Duke, Port
Royal, King and East streets were
wiped out by the flames. The advices
received here indicate that order was
soon restored in the city so that the
work of rescue could be begun.
Soldiers Do Police Duty
The two regiments of soldiers sta
toned in the city were called on to do
police duty and they seem to have per-
formed their work well. The banks and
other places where valuables are stored
were quickly guarded.
There have been some reports of loot
ing but late advices say this was con-
fined chiefly to petty thieVing, and even
this was speedily suppressed.
The rescue work was undertaken
under the direction of the soldiery and
the municipal authorities. The general
