Scenes of Devastation.

During the confusion caused by the first earth shock the prisoners in the jail at Catanzaro mutined. and were only sub dued with great difficulty. The female prisoners were particularly alarmed, screaming and shouting and beating the doors until the whole place was in ter rlble uproar. The prison officials did everything possible to calm the inmates. but panics broke out afresh every time an earthquake shock was experienced.
 AS soon as possible attachments of troops, with relief trains were hurried to the scene of the disaster. and did every thing they could to assist the people who had fled from their homes.
 The earth shocks continue. but they are slight. The people are still in a condi- ton of apprehension, which Is increased by each tremor. In spite of the torrential rain that Is falling they absolutely re- fuse to remain under any cover They have made their beds in the open. Mat tresses have been spread about the squares and the fields surrounding the stricken villages. and the people are cov- ering themselves and their children as best they may. Many thousands will pass the night in this manner. The only build ings that the frightened people will con- sent to enter are the churches, and even these they will not stay in long. Sacred relics have been exposed in the cathedral at Catanzaro, and this served in meas ure to calm the population.
 This earthquake bids fair 10 rival that of 1905. The second shock lasted 24 sec onds. It seemed as if the earth never would stop rocking. Many persons cried out that the world had come to an end. The oscillation was so violent that the needle in the recording instrument at the observatory at Calabria was broken.

P|TTSBURG SCARE
 IS ABOUT OVER Receivers Are Appointed For
 Four Companies STOCK EXCHANGE CLOSED Business Will Not Be Resumed in Stock Exchange Until Monday Morning-Westinghouse Com
 panies Will Recover.
STOCK EXCHANGE CLOSED

Pittsburg, October 2i-Late today Walter D. Updegraf. secretary to George Westinghouse, was appointed receiver for the Nernst Lamp company the fourth Westinghouse concern embarrassed by the severe money market stringency His bond was placed at $5o.00O
 The petition was filed by the Cooper Electric company of New York, and states that the Nernst Lamp company owes them s2c00 for material
 The funded debt of the company is placed at s1, 100000, covered by bonds that the stock of the Nernst Lamp company is owned by tho Westinghouse Machine company. The position was taken that the appointment of receivers for the four Westinghouse companies placed all of them on a better footing; the failure of the Iron City Trust company had no bad effects and the millions of dollars deposited by the government caused Q feeling of confidence.
 The Pittsburg Stock exchange remained closed all day and will probably not re- sume transactions until next Monday A meeting of the Pittsburg Clearing House association was held and announcement was made following the adjournment that two banks had requested aid. Prominent bankers stated tonight that the situation here is we'll in hand and that the trouble was rapidly disappearing.

LUsITANIA'S NEW RECORD.
Big Steamer Cuts the Time on the
 Eastward Trip.

Queenstown October 24.-rhe Cunard line steamer Lusltania arrived here st 9.3O this evening. She had broken the best previous eastern record. The best previous record from New York to Queenstown was five days four hours and 19 minutes.
 The Lusitania cleared Sandy Hook light ship at 5:A p. m. Saturday last. Her time of passage has been four days, 22 hours and 46 minues. This is about six hours better than the last eastward pas sage of the boat. The Busitania experi- enced rough weather and was obliged to slow down her engines. Her daily runs were 405, 570, 540. 532 and Thursday to noon, 57O knots. Her average speed for the entire distance was 9 6l knots.
 An official statement issued by the Cunard company points out that travelling against the sum- these figures mean ex- ceptonally fine steaming. On a'westward trip, with 25-hour day. they would mean an average of nearly 620 knots.

CONDEMNED FOR
 PRA|S|NG LEE C. A. R. Post Takes Minister to Task UTTERANCES UNPATRI0TIC Members of Burnside Post in Wash ington Severely criticise the Preacher and Allude to Lee
 As Traitor.
UTTERANCES UNPATRIOTlC

Washington. October 24.-(Special.)- E. Lee. the Rev. John Van Schaick pastor of the Church of Our Father. has been denounced as unpatriotic by the Burnside Post a local c. A R. or ganization which fights the civil war over again at every meeting. MT. Van Schaick is a native of New York and his relatives fought in the Union army. Last February he was invited to de- liver an address on Lincoln, in this city, in the course of which he gave high tribute to the lofty character of the great Confederate leader.
 What the local post objected to prin- cipally was MT. Van Schaicks declina- tion that a majority of the members of the c. A. R. were in sympa thy with his sentiments. The Burnside Post there fore resolves that MT. Van Schaick S utterances "are untimely, ill-advised and unpatriotic"
 "Untimely," say the resolutions, "in that the occasion was one to pay tribute to the noblest character of that period of our country's history, and not an occasion to exploit one whom every patriotic citizen must regard as a traitor to his country. 1ll-advised in that our youth may not discriminate between the private life of General Lee and the great crime he committed. Unpatriotic because no word of con demnation was uttered against the treason of one who was a leader in the great rebellion
 The resolutions were adopted by a vote of 25 to IT. Corporal Tanner, the commander-in chief of the G. A. R.. made a strong defense of MT. Van Schaick, but it was unavailing. Of the resolution MT. Van Schaicl< says: What was my offense? A passing reference io Gen. Robert E. Lee. How was it made? By quoting from Justice Brewer and President Roosevelt. What did I say? That great as were the achievements of Lee as a general, in finitely greater was his spirit as man. In what way? That after the civil war he submitted like a man, took his de- feat. refused to live abroad and set to the young men of the south an example of loyalty of the Union that he then saw was inevitable and which he finally saw was for the best.
 'I value the good opinion and the good will of Burnside Post and of every Grand Army post in the country, but not even to retain that good opinion would l retract utterances like these"

Arrests for Drunkenness,

Another fact shown is the the number of arrests for drunkenness in cities with no license is greater than in cities that regulate the liquor traffic with the license system. Rockland. Me. shows 3S5 arrests for drunkenness Danvers Mass. has 4S cases; Watertown Mass. has f23 Tyler. Tex, has 11S cases Of drunkenness and there is no license in any of these places. Chippewa Falls, Wis, with 45 saloons. shows but l32 arrests for drunkenness: Fremont, O., i3 saloons and 226 cases, Morrill,. Wis. g saloons. 167 cases: Dan vile, Pa, 2 saloons. 127 arrests; Fort Madison, la, 26 licenses. POS arrests; Rochester. N H.. % licenses. 100 arrests.
 Rockland, Me, with no licensed saloons. it being a. prohibition state. heads the list with SS5 arrests for drunkenness. and Watertown, Wis. with s1 arrests and 5s saloons concludes the list.
 Arrests for drunkenness. per 1000 in habtants. in the state of Illinois was l9.50; Indiana. 17.5S; New Jersey. 9.09. These states issue licenses. The percent ages of arrests in prohibition states is as follows: Kansas, 1i.6l; Iowa. ? ,50; Maine, 39.
 Basis for Figures.
 Being asked to state the cause of the fact that arrests for drunkenness in crease where the number Of licensed sa- looms decrease, or where total prohibit tion is in force. an official of the cen sus office said For this phenomenon we have no statistics I suppose, how ever. that they arc 10 be found in the first place in the absence of conveniently located drinking places. which seems to encourage home tipping and purchase by the bottle, instead of by the drink.
 ''2. The aboundance of secret drinking places which sell liquor of inferior aual- ity. and are frequented by persons who would stay away from public saloons.
 "3. The increase of the use of spirit ous liquors and the decrease of the use of malt beverages and wine. the latter on account of their bulk. being more difficult and more dangerous to handle than the other
 A. The increased temptation that lies in prohibition and secretness. I am fur ther inclined to believe that the result of these appears less favorable to prohi- bition and other legal restraints than would be justified by actual facts. Where the sale of liquor Is carried on clandes- timely. care is probably taken that drunken persons do not fall into ths hands of the police and the person who gets drunk at home probably remains at home and Is not arrested.
 Solution of Problem.
 'I am, therefore, inclined to bellevs that the public records show the actual state of nebrlety in prohibition places much less than In others. and that if the actual state were known prohibition states and towns would. in statistics, fare far worse than they do now.
 "Be this as 1t may, these statistics ars incontrovertible proof of the falacy of prohibition and greatly restrictive liquor Legislation such as prohibition, local op- ton, high license, or the dspensary sys- tenn. The best law from the standpoint Of temperance seems to be q license law with d moderate fee for the license. and sane control of the saloon on the part of the authorities a W $.

Several Cities Ire in Ruins and Estimates of Deaths
 Vary Greatly
ClLABRIAN PENINSULA
 SUFFERS HEAVY SHOCKS
Houses in Many Towns Are Shaken To Ruins and Persons Are Buried in the Debris While Panic
 Prevails Everywhere.

Rome, October 24.--The details re-
 ceived here during the day regarding
 the earthquake in Calabria in every
 way tend to show that the damage done
 was much more extensive than at first
 estimated. but that the loss of life
 has not been great. The lowest esti-
 mate places the number killed at about
 twenty and the highest at about 12o,
 but up to this evening there is nothing
 to show that the last figures men
 toned are correct. Nothing definite
 will be known on the subject until the
 ruins arc cleared away.
 Premier Gioletti conferred with King
 Victor Emmanuel on the disaster, and
 it was reported later that his majesty
 would go to the district if any fresh
 sh ocks occurred.
 The Pope, when informed this morn
 ing of the destruction. was much dis
 tressed and said with tears in his eyes :
 Are we having a repetition of the
 disaster of 1905? God help the poor souls"
 The pontiff has decided to send a sum of money for the relief of the sufferers.
 Details of the earthquake show that the shocks were especially severe Tn | the southern end of the Calabrian peninsula. but throughout the Calabria l territors. therd were sceaes of desola l tion and despair The first shock was a tremendous one and was followed by two. others of longer duration. wh ich entirely destroyed two villages nd i,, t,nI others to a mass of ruins. The first shock fortunately brought the entire population of the villages into the open and many succeeded in ma king their escape to the hills or open plains. which accounts for the sDaallness of the list of fatalities. To add to the desolation caused by the earthquake it was raining in torrents in the evening. which greatly in- creased the suffering among the home less people.
 Half the houses at Ferruzzsno and Brancaleone collapsed and many per- sons were buried in the ruins and at Sinopoli and St. Itrio more lives are said to have been lost. Panic prevails everywhere. Bocella. .Tonica, Reggie. Cozansa Paradoio, Cittanova, Palmi, Marina and other towns also suffered from the shocks, but none severly. Half the houses of the village of Gerace are in ruins and similar condi tions prevailed in number of other points. The scientists at the Unver- sity of Naples, who study seismic dis turbances. say that the earthquake of 1905 was preceded by the sudden ces- sa ion of the eruption of Mounts Strom- boli and Etna. Mount Vesuvius, they add. was active until a week ago. but since then the volcano has not emitted any smoke at all.
 A special dispatch to the Tribuna to- day says that one hundred persons had lost their lives in the commune of Ferrazzomono alone, but no confirma- ton of the report was obtained.

 Otherwise

 ARE UNCOMFORTABLE

 Others Are Given.

Washington, October 2i.-tSpecial.) 1.-The United States census bureau has been gathering statistics showing. in effect, the results of prohibition and license on communities and in so far as number of arrests for drunkenness is concerned, a compilation of these figures gives an inter- esting subject for thought. This compila- tion sets at rest any doubt that the number of arrests for drunkenness increases with the decrease of the number of saloons. and that there is the most drunkenness where, in proportion to population, the number of licensed saloons is smallest or wncre there are no saloons at all. The following table illustrates this fact:

Surprise in St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, October 4.-The an- nouncement of the appointing of q re- eeiver In Pttsburg for two of ihe West inghouse companies came as a surprise here, where the Westinghouse people have extensive interests, especially to slMalter Cary, director and general man ager of the Westinghouse Lamp com pany, who arrived here today from the United States to investigate the affairs of the Russian branch, which. although hay ing an independent corporate existence IS largely capitalized from America. The company, sthe first business of which here was making airbrake equipment for the Russian railroads, later branched out and secured a large contract for the cleo trification of the street railroad system of St. Petersburg, and recently pur- chased big factory at Moscow for the construction of electrical equipments.
 Rumors have for some time been current that the company would lose money on its St. Petersburg street railroad contract, aggregating s5.G0O,00 particularly on ac- count of penalties, amounting to s500000, imposed for construction delays. but the officials of the company today denied thls and said the fines would aggregate less than per cent of the total amount of the contract and that they anticipated that most Of thcmawould be remtted on the final settlement. The company has received from 50 to SO per cent of the contract price, and the balance is payable on completion of the contract, which is expected to take place within month, and it is claimed that 1t has enough cash In sight to finish the work.
 A dispatch received here today from General Manager Smith stated that the nome companies were entirely solvent, and that the receiverships were due to the inability to extend loans during the strin- gency Of the money market. Prices on the bourse today were slightly affected by the American financial troubles but their connection with financial houses here Is too remote to cause great apprehension.
