The Hamlet Of Notre Dame, de Salatte

on the Lievre River, lies buried un-
der a sliding mountain and at least
80 OF It's small population are known
to have perished.
The hamlet has no telephone or
telegraph and neither is il on a rail-
road. Meager bits of news of the
disaster come in by messenger from
the physicians and other rescuers
who were hurried there when the
trst calls for aid came at an early
hour.
The river Lievre winds at the foot
OF the hamlet and a mountain tower
ed behind it. Spring rains for days
past have been melting the snow and
ice on the mountain side and streams
have been coursing down the river.
AT O'Clock A. NJ, just as the little
hamlet began to stir for early mass,
part OF the mountain started to slide
toward the river. 1t tore a path of
death and destruction for it's way.
and those who were not killed when
their homes were engulfed were left
buried under the mass of rock and
earth.
Camille la Pointe's house stood
first in the path of the avanlanche. He
and his family of IL are known to
nave perished. Eight others, whose
names have not been obtained, are
known to be missing, and in the
panic the rescuers are attempting to
md definitely how many more are
missing.
Mrs. Desjardin's cottage also was
swept away, and she, with her two
children, a domestic and a hired
man, are known to be buried in the
landslide.

messengers were dispatched to Pou-
pere, the nearest hamlet. Those who
arrived first estimated that at least
dozen houses were crushed I'm the
path of the landslide.
buckingham was appealed to, but
the hight of the messengers across
the spring roads was slow. Those
first on the scene found De Salette
in panic, with the uninjured ones
packing their belongings for flight.
The first messengers to Bucking-
ham ordered % collins TO be sent to
De Salette, and all the physicians of
the town were hurried across coun-
try with rescue parties.
Landslides along the river are
common each spring with the rains
and swollen streams. The I.ieyre at
De Salette was a torrent so wards
wide. Occupants of the houses on
the west bank felt the ground slip
ping and made rush for safety but
were carried into the river.

EIGHTEEN STUDENTS ARE
SHOT IN GUATEMALA
RlEglsadeTs in the Conspiracy Against
President Cabrera.

Guatemala City, Guatemala (By
Cable).-President Cabrera himself
is authority for the statement that
IL OF the ringleaders in a conspiracy
against him already have been shot
TO death, and that probably more ex-
ecutions will follow.
president Cabrera, against whose
iife an attempt was made by stu
dents, received the representatives
OF the various powers and made a
lengthy statement to them that he
had unearthed an extensive conspir-
acy against him that led up to his
attempted assassination. He de-
clared that Is of the leaders had
Deen executed by his orders, and that
the death penalty would be meted
ouC 10 others already in the hands
of the military.
Among these are the men who
were imprisoned a year ago, having
Deen Implicated in plot to assassi-
nate the President. They were SEN
fenced to death after their arrest
but the sentence had not been carrje5
out. President Cabrera said that he
had proofs that a majority of these
prisoners were implicated in the new
attempt against his life. and that
they would be executed without de-
lay.
Although there is a surface tran
quiility here, conditions really are
serious. The military is in control
OF the city and a partial suspension
Oh business has resulted. The revo-
iutlonary feeling is strong in many
quarters and there are those who
VIII not hesitate to go to any length
or tace any danger in their efforts
10 make away with the President.
Cabrera, for this reason, has been
seen but twice or thrice in public
in the last few months.
An attempt was made to assassi-
nate President Cabrera last ApriI
and arrests to the number of about
100, or those said to be implicated
In the plot, were made. Several of
the arch conspiratOrs committed sui
eide and 10 of the others were SEN
fenced by cOurt-martial to death.
The latter included two Mexicans.
one Spaniard, two Italians and one
Belgian. The representatives of the
powers later interfered in the carry
ing out of the death sentence. send
ing an energetic protest against such
summary punishment to President
Cabrera.
Later large number OF the minor
Offenders were pardoned and released
from prison. and although the Su-
preme Court of Guatemala confirmed
the death penalty on all those SEN
fenced for the attempt on Cabrera's
life, the sentence was not carried
out.

Al KILLED IN COLLISION.
Sixty Are Injured In Crash OF Aus
tralian Trains.

Melbourn, Australia (By Cable) -
In collision of two trains from
Ballarat and Bendigo respectively, at
Braybrook Junction, about eight
miles from Melbourne, forty-one per-
sons were killed and sixty injured.
The Bendigo train, with two heavy
engines, crashed into the rear of the

The wreckage took fire and was al
most completely consumed. Many of
the bodies were unrecognizable when
recovered.

piled on top of the rear coaches of
the other train.
Terrible scenes followed the acct
dent, many of the injured being
caught in the wreckage, and with
difficulty rescued from the flames.
1T was long time before doctos

as a consequence intense suffering
prevailed among the injured.

CONSTITUTES BYRD LAW.

winchester Especially In view OF
the widespread misunderstanding OF
certain provisions of the Byrd law,
recently enacted by the Virginia
Legislature. Judge Thomas w Har-
rlson' OF Winchester, gave out the
tolloWlng statement, which is in re-
ply 10 an urgent inquiry from a
prominent clergyman:
In my opinion the law does not
forbid the use of wine at communion.
One clause of the Byrd law forbids
any person from selling or dis
pensing intoxicating liquors on
Sunday. Christmas or election days
Certain justices OF the peace in
Loudoun County and Alexandria
are reported to have construed dis
pensing as giving. and fined persons
Tor giving drink to a friend on
sunday. My own idea in this is thai
they are clearly wrong. The words
selling and dispensing in the par
ticular clause have reference to the
authority to sell or dispense In the
other clauses in the law OF course
IL the law is that no one can give a
drink to friend. a clergyman couldE
not give wine in the communion
service.
Under the Byrd law no one can
sell liquor at any time but a licensed
dealer. He can sell. but not on Sun.
day. Under this law there Is noN
prohibition against anyone giving or
dispensing liquor without sale at any
time. except social clubs at their
club houses. Such clubs must have
a license and then they are forbid
den to sell or dispense liquor on Sun
day. 1t seems to me that this is the
