ITALY HAS
FATAL QUAKE
CENTER OF DISTURBANCE IN
SICILY WHE-IE GREATEST
LOSS OF LIFE AND
PROPERTY oc- a
CURED.

Rome Dec. 2S.-Southern italy was
visited by a serious and fatal earth
quake this morning. The center of
disturbance was in Sicily and the
greatest loss of life end property ac-
CURED on this islInd. The reports arie
as yet incomplete, but peop', were
everywhere thrown into condition of
panic
At Caltanissetta, a Sicilian town of
10000 people, na:-.bc~ of houses were
shaken down and the inhabitants fed
for saf; ty to the streets. Vast crowds
gathered in the parks and churches.
Many Houses Collapsed.
AT Mlneo, a small town 1O0 miles
southwest of Catania, several houses
collapsed. AT Catania, docks and the
shore front were overwhelmed by a
tidal wave which rolled from the sea.
..t Costa, in the province of Syra-
cuse, two churches and several houses
were demolished, but no lives were
lost. Prisoners in the local Jail made
their escape.
The latest reports from Calabria say
that three are dead and sixty wounded
persons have been removed from the
rains of Stefaconi.
Troops have been ordered also to
tear down the damaged buildings in
order to minimize the danger from
falling walls. Sixty persons are said
to have sustained injuries at San No
frio and the population is camping out
in the open air.

Moving Picture Shows Operate
Sunday IN Gotham
POLICE DO NOT INTERFERE
p--PITE FACT THAT LICENSES
OF 500 SHOWS HAVE BEEN RE-
V .KED BY MCCLELLAN, CHEAP
THEATRES, OPENED AS USUAL
MAYOR IN COURT.

New York, Dec. 2s.--Protected from
interference by a supreme court in
junction, practically all of Now York's
TO and more moving picture exhibit
tions were Sunday in full operation,
respite the revocation cf their licenses
by Mayor Mcclellan on Christmas eve.
Most of them were favored with the
customary SUNDAY patronage, the
heaviest of the week. There was no
sign Of interference by the police but
their proprietors genrally took the pre-
caution Of arranging the programmes
as to eliminate the views which the
authorities could in any way, consider
ob1e Stionable.
Real Fight for Closing.
The real fight for the closing of the
cheap moving picture places is sched-
uled to begin in the supreme court to-
day. Iniunctions granted on Saturday
prohibited the police from interfering
with the exhibitions and required
Mayor Mcclellan to show cause today
why his order cancelling the licenses
of more than 500 places should not
be rescinded. The show managers
and others financially interested in the
moving picture business have formed
an organization, and, 1T is stated,
raised a large fund with which to re-
sist the move of the cvity authorities
against them. Organizations of cler
gynen and others are arrayed to
Mayor McClellan's side in the contest.
