CATANIA. Italy, April 30.-Resi-
dents of Zaffarana. Etna, Lingaglossa
and many aeighborings villages, are
fleeing in terror on account Of the
threatening aspect OF the volcano at
Mount Etna which Is In eruption.
Dense colusnns- of smoke hover over
the crater and showers Of lava, ashes
and hot stones are emitted.
Residents OF the neighborhood fear
that the seismic conditions which
caused the volcano to open up might
be In sympathy with the fierce storms
which visited China and the southern
and western coasts of the United
States.
An Impressive Sight.
The spectacle OF the huge smoking
mountain Is impressively imposing.
At night the lurid glow lights up the
surrounding country which is set off
by the dense clouds of smoke which
drift away from the blazing mouth. In
the daytime the sight is no less spec
tacular. The volcano Is surrounded
by sister mountains each capped with
snow. While the smoke flares up
from the widening crater, there are
frequent vomitings of stones which
lombard the villages upon the noun
tain sides.
The priests and their congregations
are invoking, divine aid from harm.
Daily services are held where sacrl.
fces are offered up to the saints.

FROM INJURIES.

LANSING, Mich. April 30.--(Spe-
cial)--During the year 1907, accidents
to S27 workers in factories were re-
ported to the state factory inspector.
according TO the annual report OF the
commissioner OF labor, just issued.
These occurred in So factories. The

ing that year the number of accidents
reported was GIL.
Fatal accidents were 60 In number.
while 70 were reported serious, 342
severe but not dangerous, and 3A6 were
Only slightly hurt. In this classiflca'
ton OF accidents, as reported. Z pei
cent were fatal. 10 per cent serious
Al per cent severe and az per cent
slight.
Two fatal accidents were reported
in Lansing during 1907. while nine
were slight, only eleven accidents be-
ing reported from Ingham county fac

accidents in 1907 over those In 1906
Is reported to be Ill.

Thursday night to get some items in

SALOON MEN ARE
SLOW WITH BONDS
LESS THAN HALF HAVE SECURED
THEM AND TIME LIMIT
EXPIRES FRIDAY.

Saloonkeepers are very backward In
getting their bonds out this year. OF
all the nearly 1890 saloons In Detroit,
only 994 have secured bonds this far.
Friday Is May /, and that Is the day
when bonds are supposed to be signed
and tax cards taken out for the com
ing year. There are about 200 more
bond applications on file, which came
in late.
III the police were so disposed, they
keep them closed until bonds are Sc
cured and tax cards obtained from the
county officers.
Il has been the practice however.
TO be lenient In these matters, and
give the saloonkeepers a certain
amount OF time. Last year there were
several hundred more applications In
before this time and the bonds had
been accepted on most OF them. This
years committee has had to be very
careful In going over the bonds, as
II does not wish to approve any that
might be sent in for saloons In the
restricted districts.
Apparently some saloonkeepers be-
lieve that they can use the plea OF
having to wait to get good bonds and
get them passed to delay paying over
the $500 license fee.
Chairman Korte, of the liquor reg
ulation committee, complains that
John Zielinsh has started saloon
at 40. 1868 Dubois-st.. in the FORBID
den portion Of the Ninth ward. The
aldermen has been unable to md any
bond taken out by Zielinski or any
one else for that address and prose-
cution may follow.

Regrets His Pledge.

WASHINGTON, April 30.--"If l
could have foreseen how things were
going to frame up, would never have
made that election night pledge-and
would never have reiterated 1t three
months ago.
President Roosevelt fairly chopped
his words off when he made that an
nouncement to a senator who stood
by him In his fight for four battleships.
This senator had commented on the
indifference OF the senate to the rresi-
dents wishes and had expressed the
opinion that this indifference. which
has become almost a studied affront.
was due to the fact that the president
had eliminated himself from the race
for the presidential nomination.
STILL" added the president, "the
pledge Is made, and 1t stands, even IL
advantage is taken of It,"

Roosevelt to run again, 1t Is reported
