TESTS BRIQUETTE
FOR USE IN NAVY

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 2S.-The first official
test of briquette as fuel by the United
States navy, was made Saturday on the
torpedo boat Biddle, which had on board
the members OF the national board on fuel
and structural material.
The visitors, among them being leading
fuel experts OF the country went on board
the torpedo boat near the jamestown Ex-
position grounds in the afternoon and
were taken about 30 miles out to sea.
On the trip out the Biddle made an
average speed of 80 miles an hour. The
briquettes were burned under one boiler
while the other used coal 1t was declar-
ed a much hotter fire was maintained by
the briquette than by the coal
At the start there was considerable
smoke from the briquette This was "A
disappointment to the experts, but II was
explained that the firemen did not know
how to use the new fuel, which accounted
for much of the smoke. Under instruc-
tions from experts OF the chronological
branch OF the United States Geological
Survey the firemen did much better, al
though they did not obtain smokeless
conditions.
This first test, while not conclusive, in
considered success as the steaming
qualities of the fuel were excellent.

EARTHQUAKE
HORRORS IN
FEhRuzzAA0

Rome. Oct. 2S.--It is officially stated that
the villages damaged by the earthquake
number 80 The lists OF the dead and
wounded have not yet been compiled, but
entire families are missing 1t is feared
that many persons are still alive beneath
the ruins OF Ferruzzano. Cries for help
were heard until yesterday.
The bodies recovered are mostly mutt
lated beyond recognition. Several OF the
dead, however, were not injured. and It is
therefore argued that they were suffoca-
ted or died from exhaustion while buried
in the ruins. Decomposition of the bodies
Is being hastened by the rain.
A considerable number of cattle and en-
tire herds OF sheep and goats perished.
The odor from the bodies and carcasses is
unbearable and all efforts to combat II are
unavailing The rain continues. The sal
wage parties are still insufficient. The
arrival OF reenforcements Is delayed by
the impossible roads.
Food Is lacking. The victims refuse
money, but beg for bread. An entire fam
lily In the neighborhood OF Ferruzzano
have not touched food for two days. Many
OF the injured have not yet been attended
to. The surgeons are using clothing for
bandages, there being none of the latter
to be obtained.
The warship Re Umberto has been un-
able TO anchor owing to the rough sea.
She intended to land her entire crew TO
assist In the work of rescue. The soldiers
and clergy are displaying wonderful alb
negation. They are necessarily engaged in
salvage work, and in aiding the starving
sufferers.
only half OF those killed at Ferruzzano
have been buried. The remainder are de-
composing under the ruins, and II is be-
lieved that the effluvia have FASTENED the
death OF some of those injured still lying
under the debris. The delay in the work OF
salvage and the lack OF food and medi-
cines are entirely due to the isolated posi-
ton OF Ferruzzano, the state OF the roads
and the absence OF railways. which neu-
tralze the whole hearted efforts of the
troops. who are suffering harsher hard
ships than If they were engaged In actual
war.

CLEARING HOUSE LOAN
CERTIFICATES AT BOSTON

Boston. Oct. 2S.-As a precautionary
measure against the withdrawal OF cur
rency from circulation and NOT because
OF any extraordinary local necessity. the
Boston Clearing House association today
decided to issue Clearing House loan cer-
tihcates, bearing interest at 7.3 per cent.
The high rate OF interest is for the pur-
pose of retiring the certificates at the
earliest possible date. The New York
rate Is six per cent.
The loan committee of the Clearing
House will pass upon collateral and APP
prove the issue OF the certificates at 20
per cent of the market value OF the Sc
curties.
Leading bank officials declared today
that the adoption OF the Clearing House
certificate for the settlement of bank bal
snces was not due to any uncertainty OF
the stability OF local banks. but solely
as a precaution against wholesale with
drawal OF money by persons desiring to
hoard II or take advantage OF high cur
rcncy rates I'm other cities.
The last time this method was adopted
in Boston was in 1898. beginning on June
2s. reaching its height on Aug. %. when
sii, ,445,o 900 were outstanding and ending on
Oct 20 OF the same year.

INDICTMENTS
MOL Pressed

Boston, Oct. 2s.-The criminal proceed
ings against a number of state and city
officials and the New England Telephone
and Telegraph company, for alleged vio-
lation of recent statute, forbiddng the
soliciting by such officials OF positions on
public service corporations, came to an
end today with the mol pressing OF all the
indictments returned at a special sitting
of the grand jury
Individual indictments were found
against State Senators Il. j. Bromberg
and +. ]. Mcleod, Aldermen James M.
Curley and John E. Baldwin. Representa-
tive ID, j. Mcdonald and former Repre-
sentative Il. j. Gethro. An indictment OF
40 counts was also found against the tele-
phone company.
The trial of the cases was placed in the
hands OF Assistant District Attorney
Dwyer, who was given power TO dispose
of them as he decided. He decided to mol
PROSE- all for various reasons, but prin-
cipally because he has doubts as to con-
sttutionality or the law, and also because
the violations, he says, were year ago
and all the men who were taken into the
employ of the company have since been
discharged.
The grand jury investigation of the
charges against the officials and the tele-
phone company occupied nearly 10 days
an dthe indictments returned created a
sensation.

Perry's behivior since his incarceration
In Dannemora--in fact. ever since his ar
rest following his sensational train rob-
bery-has been as remarkable as his GRIM
inal exploits were daring. He has defied
the authorities; he has dared them 10 Kill
him; he has regarded his life as a mere
plaything. AS he explained, seated on
the bed in his room, with white BAN
dage over his blinded eyes. he has never
had any hope of being free. and il has
been a matter OF complete indifference 20
MIN whatever became of him.
He would like to have his liberty: he
would like To go to some distant place
and make an humble living, as other
blind men do-and, in fact, he could never
do anything else-but he expects to spend
the remainder OF his life behind prison
bars unless the two or three persons who
have stood loyal to him succeed i'm the
movement they have recently undertaken
to have his sentence commuted.
His relatives deserted him years ago. 1t
was to bring them TO his aid, he declared
that he put out his eyes. He never heard
from them. The two persons who have
clung TO him are the Rev. j. ID. Warren
OF the South Presbyterian church OF Ell
mira. and Miss Haskell of Troy.
Prison officials, despite the abuse which
Perry heaps upon them at every oppor-
tunity, regard him with something akin
10 sympathy and have really been toler-
ant of some OF his whims.
Inside the prison he Is regarded as a
sort OF oracle by the patients who have
the freedom of that floor. He acts as ar
bitter OF many little differences which
sometimes ruffle the ordinary tranquil life
of the hospital. He composes verses for
his fellow prisoners and not infrequently
dictates letters for them.
