reported upon in a cablegram to the
state department received today from
Ambassador Griscom at Rome. The am
bassador cabled that he had received
no word from the American consuls
at Messina and Palermo. He asked the
foreign office for information and that
office, he adds, will use every effort
through army and navy officers to OBJ
tain definite news.
Every effort is being made by the
state department to obtain news of
American citizens who were in the
earthquake zone in Italy. Ambassador
Griscom at Rome was directed to cable
promptly any information obtainable.
and to send some of the American vice
consuls in Italy to the scene of dis

Lupton at Messina to the end that

The state department announced that

formation is that the winter tourist
season has not yet fully begun in

is that those Americans who were in
the earthquake zone in that island
were mainly at Taormina.
Many inquiries have come to the de-

TO be in the earthquake region. In

Sea Front of Reggie Swept Away, Confguration

NAPLES. Dec. 30.=The sea front at
Reggie has been completely swept
away, according to statements of re-
fugees. The harbor is filled with
wreckage from vessels of every kind.
and it is Impossible to approach Reggie
by sea or land. For a distance of II
miles from the city roads. bridges and
footpaths have been destroyed. Even
the face of the country has been
changed. 1t has been impossible to get

1t is believed that great number of
people are still in the ruins dying, not
from their injuries, but of slow starva-
ton. simply because It is impossible to
get in supplies.

horrors of the overpowering catas-

SCIENTISTS AT STANFORD
RELATE EXPERTME ENTS
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 30
At tho ninth annual session of the Cor
dllleran section of the American geo.
logical society DR.. Branner, vice presi-
dent Of Stanford university, and Pro-
fessor Rodgers Of the physics depart
ment read papers today treating of the
general subject Of earthquakes.
Professor Rodgers told of an interest
ing scientific experiment by means of
which he had proved that wet ground
was more violently shaken by earth
quakes than dry ground Wet and dry
sand was placed in boxes and both sub
ljected to the same shaking force, with
the result that the wet sand hung to-
gether like a bowl of jelly. Miniature
buildings constructed upon the surface
of the wet sand were easily shaken
down.
AS a corroboration of the result of
Professor Rodgers experiments, DR..
Branner told of his Investigations of
earthquakes in several countries. At
San Francisco, Valparaiso, Mendoza and
Kingston the greatest damage was done
in 1eld lands, very wet and soggy,
which hung together when the shock
came and did not distribute the vio-
lence. The heaviest damage in San
Francisco. said DR.. Branner, occurred
at the postofflce building. which was
constructed on wet, filled land. At Val
paraiso the same result ggas clearly
evident the structures placed upon the
soil washed up by the sea going down
like cards.
The Stanford scientific instructors are
unwilling to discuss the Italian earth
quake. saying that they are not familiar
enough with the geology of the country
to express an opinion.
