Rome, Italy, Dec. 3O.-As further de-

Increases in horror, exceeding any
previous disaster in the history of the
world.
1t is now believed that the estimat-
ed number of dead will be largely in
creased and that the exact figures will
exceed 100000.
Many thriving cities, towns and
villages were completely wiped out,
and fire and water added to the hor-
rors wrought by the eruption of the
earth. Great tidal waves swept over
large areas, sweeping thousands of
men, women and children out into the
open seas. Where the tidal waves did
not reach the quake was Immediately
followed by fires, which devasted hun
dreds of homes and cremated many
thousands, many of whom had their
clothing licked from their bodies as
they ran through the streets trying to
escaIo the hurrincane of flames.
Many thousands of tourists from
America, Europe and other countries
perished in the disaster.
Russia, Germany and England have
ordered warships to proceed from the
nearest stations to the coast adjacent
to the stricken section and the whole
world today seems united in an effort
to afford succor to the unfortunates.

The above statement of Police JUS

that is now being manifested by the
Jackson police in the crusade against
Illicit retailing.
Chief Allen and members of his
force are waging the most relentless
war that the Jackson tigers have ever
experienced, and there was never a
timc since tie open saloons were
abolished in Jackson that whisky was
as hard to get as at present.
Hardly day passed without from
three to dozen raids being made by
the officers, and 1t is estimated that
within the past sixty days more than
$1,000 worth Of liquor captured IN
raids on Illicit joints have been des-
troyed.

ALLEGED CORPSE
NOT There when
CORONER ARRIVED

A sensational rumor reached the
police station this morning to the ef-
feet that two young men who had been
hunting out in the woods about a mile
from the city had discovered the dead
body ia child about four years old.
The report came that the body was
that of boy, and that it had been
found in a low place where there had
been a puddle of water, which had
dried up leaving exposed a sack,
which upon investigation, proved to
contain the body of a child.
The report came rather straight and
Coroner David Farley, accompanied
by Mr.. A. H. Innerarity, went out 10
investigate. A diligent search was
made and nothing was found and it
is thought that the report was incor-
rect, or that possibly the body might
have been removed by some one after
it was known that it had been discov.
cred and before the coroner reached
the place. 1t is believed, however.
that the whole matter was hoax.
