Calamity is Beyond the
Grasp Of the I'M
agination.
THE QUEEN swooNs
And Crowds Of Terror Strick-
en- Persons Swarm About
the Royal Party

VI E.
ROME. Italy. Dec SO-IIalf the
population of calabria aud the east
ern part of Sicily are dead. TIE
other half are weeping.
As the great extent OF the terrific
seismic disturbances becomes appar-
ent. 1t seems impossible to exagger-
ate the horrors which followed them.
The calamity is almost beyond the
grasp OF the Imagination. not only
because of the dead, but because Of
the innumerable wounded and bur-
led in the ruins. many OF whom per-
ished because 1t was impossible to
rescue them from the wrecks Of their
former homes.
The total number OF victims is
variously estimated at from $4,000
to 10000.
King Victor and Queen Helena ar
rived at Messina To-Day. The scene
of the disaster and horror was too
much for the Queen. who almost
swooned.
Crowds OF terror stricken persons
swarmed about the royal party
throwing themselves in the mud and
screaming for pity and aid.
At Reggie the silence of death
still reigns.
Pope to the Relief.
The Pope has photographed the
arehbishops of Palermo and catania
and the bishops of Miletto ana Ca
tanzaro expressing his sorrow over
the appalling calamity and ordered
the saying of prayers. He asks also
what money Is required, as he desires
to contribute funds to cope with the
situation.
The Pope. heads the subscription
list with $1,000, 900 lire. ts2oo. ooo)
King Victor Emmanuel Will give e.
100000 lire.
Premier Glolitti has appointed 4
national committee to organize sue
cor for the unfortunates. The presi-
dent of the organization is the Duke
of Aosta. The king has made a gem
erous contribution to the relief fund.
Minister of Public Works Bertolini
land Minister OF Justice Orlando have
left Rome for Sicily. Signor Orlando
| is a sicilian.
Being Burned Alive
Messina was almost completely de-
stroyed. The victims may be num-
bered by tens of thousands. The
confagration which despite the tor
rental rain Is sttll raging. is COM
ipleting the destruction of the city.
Thousands of persons We're buried
alive In, the ruins and arc being
burned alive and ,othes are dying
from injuries. while many are starv-
ing The streets are filed with
confused masses of brick. beams,
furniture and other debris. In many
cases the streets are twisted into fan
tastic shapes.
Urgent measures are required
there. Food is especially Mt present
the greatest need. A slight shock
of the earth last night created
n terrible panic. Such as the frag-
mentary news as IL received from
Reggie goes TO confirm the previous
report that the city is practically OBJ
liberated. Thirty-five towns and vii.
llages In outlying districts in Gala
bria were wiped out. Cable commu.
lnication with the Aeolian Islands,
twenty-five miles north of Sicily. is
interrupted and iteS feared those
! Islands were devastated.

every house will probably be cons
spletely furnished before nighttall
The stockade was first suggested by

In January Of this year. Soon after
the suggestion was made BY TINS

torious in Ogden and elsewhere, as
sisted by local tinanciers, incorporated
the company which bought the ground
and built the cottages, with the an
nounced intention of making the place
a rendezvous for the depraved women
Of the town.
An action filed by residents of the
portion OF the city affected Is now up
for hearing in the district court. The
petitioners before the court are asking
that a restraining order issue against
the police protected women and their
parasites to prevent the plan being
