Miss E.mmons was a teacher by pro-

that calling almost all the time with
out rest. She was forced a few months
ago to give up work and her brother
brought her to this city in the hope
that the change would benefit her
health. She did not mend, however,
and a day or two ago she was taken
to Denver by DR.. Stevens to undergo
operation for cancer of the stomach.
The operation was performed yester'
day morning at ST. Joseph's hospital 10
that city by DR.. Freeman, the noted
surgeon, and was as successful as
could have been wished. The weaken.

the Thaw lunacy commission was

jury until Monday, declining to grant
more time for Jerome to apply to the
appellate division for a writ of pro-

Giving First Authentic Details of
Affair-FaIling Walls and Severe
ExIosion causes Injury to Firemen
Italians Burned to Death.

Constantinople, April 4.-The follow
ing dispatch was received here today
from Rev. Royal M. Cole, head Of the
American Mission at Bitlis:
Most Sever in Years.
"Bitlis, Turkish Armenia, April g.
At 10 o'clock in the forenoon of March
29th there burst upon us the worst
earthquake witnessed in forty years in
these regions.
In Jaws of Monster.
"Such was its force that our city
seemed to be in the jaws of some mon,
ster, who would shake us into shreds
as a mastiff does his game. Down
came plastering, furniture vas over
turned, cracks were opened in strong
walls, roofs were shattered and the
rain poured in.
Fourteen Shocks First Day.
During the first day there were four.
teen shocks, and they still continue.
There have been twenty-eight shocks
altogether. OF the 1000 houses here,
over 800 have fallen and half of the
remainder have been seriously damag'
ed. The officials report that eight were
killed.
Many People Hurt.
Many were injured and many
churches, mosques and government
buildings were damaged. The sur.
rounding villages sustained heavy
shocks, but there was no great loss
of life. Famine prices prevailed and
there is great poverty and extreme suf,
fering."
Fire Chief Injured.
New York, April 4.-Thirty firemen,
among them Chief Croker, were hurt
by falling debris and damage estimated
at $4,000 was caused by fire in a five,
story building in Maiden Lane today.
Only two of the injured men were Sc
verely hurt.
Explosion Unroofs Building.
Nearly a hundred firemen were at
work upon the burning building when
an explosion ripped off the roof and
shook portions of the walls into the
street. At the sound of the explosion
the fremen fed, but thirty were caught
in falling debris.
