Italian Disaster.
RECALLS GREAT CALAMITY

District Affected Is the Same as That
Devastated by the Visitation Of Last
December and the Panic Stricken
Residents Flee From the Scene in
Great Alarm as Soon as the First
Shock Occurs.
Messina, Sicily, July 2.-Earth
shocks both here and at Reggie Gre
ated great panic among the people
of these two cities. Walls of houses
not completely demolished in the Wis
itation of December were shaken
down and the Inhabitants of the
towns rushed from the streets to-
wards the open country.
A woman and child caught under
the wreckage sustained serious in
juries, the woman subsequently dying.
The first shock was followed by an
explosion like the roar of cannon and
lasted between eight and ten seconds.
It is said that this quake was of
greater severity than the fatal one OF
the night of Dec. %. The wooden
houses and huts erected for the &C.
commodation of the people seemed to
be thrown from one side to another
Cries filed the air as the people fled
into the road.
AS on the night of Dec. 20 the first
shock was followed by a circular
movement of the ground. Five min
utes later there came another quake,
accompanied by further roarings.
This completed the destruction. The
remains of wrecked houses collapsed
and the entire district was covered
by dense cloud of dust.
Detachments of police and car
b1neers were dispatched for the pro-
lection Of the wooden huts built with
American money, but which had not
yet been distributed. The population,
fleeing in the districts where walls
threatened to fall upon them, rushed
toward the American huts with the
intention of taking forcible possession
of them.
It is as yet impossible to accurately
determine the number of casualties.
Some of the reports are alarming, but
they cannot be verified. So far as is
positively known only one woman
was killed and few people were
hurt

five CREWS ON
EDGE FOR RACE
All Ready for the |nterco||e.
giate Contest.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. July 2.-Just
before the big fve-cornered intercol
legiate rowing race between Syria
cuse, Cornell, Columbia, Wisconsin
and Pennsylvania the question upper
most In the minds of the crowds
seems to be, "Can Syracuse repeat
her winning. performance of last
year?" According to the Syracuse
students, who have gathered here in
large numbers to see their men row
there isn't the least doubt about their
ability to do so.
Probably the dark horse" in to-
days race Is Wisconsin, always con
sldered formidable contender for in
tercollegiate honors in rowing, despite
the fact that it has never come out
better than second. The Western col
lege has a large undergraduate body
to draw upon-this year there are
over 5000 students enrolled at Mad
tson-and Ten Eyck brought here q
squad of twenty-five husky, able look
Ing Oarsmen, who have been rowing
well together and have shown signs
of individual skill and strength.
1t must be admitted frankly that
Columbia does not look good today to
the rowing expert. There have been
too many changes in the crew to de-
velop the best there is in the men
In Cornell's favor are the splendid
way in which the men have been
rowing together in practice and the
long list of carnelian and white vic
tories. This years crew is light, how.
ever, and doubts are expressed that
the men can stand the strain.
Pennsylvania has not won a race
here since 1900, when the first of the
intercollegiate races was rowed, and
she does not seem due for another
victory.
Summing up the opinions of the ex.
perts it looks like Syracuse's race
with Wisconsin a strong contender
and Cornell possible winner. Vic,
tory by either Columbia or Pennsyl
vania would be the intercollegiate
surprise of the season.

3. Harnett, counsel for Adolph Segal.
There were fourteen counts in the
indictments.
The indictments charge conspiracy
In restraint Of trade end violation of
the Sherman antitrust law. The de-
PENDANTS will answer to the indict-
ments In court next Tuesday.
The section of the law under which
the indictments were found provides
as penalties a fine of not more than
$4,000 or Imprisonment for not more
than ono year, or both, in the case of
the individuals and fine Of not more
than $4,000 in the case of a corpora
ton. The accused men are all prom
inent in financial circles.
Events Leading to indictments.
The thread of events leading up to
the indictments may be traced back
to 1895, when Adolph Segal of Phila-
delDhia sold to the American Sugar
Refining company a sugar refinery
which he had built and for time op-
Grated at Camden, N. J. Some years
later Segal took over the old Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining company of
Philadelphia, which had suspended
business in 1898. BY 1908 Segal had
new plant nearly completed and was
ready to compete in sugar refining.
Meantime, however, he had engaged,
extensively in other real estate promo
lions and became pressed for funds.
Just at this time Gustav Kissell,
Wall street broker, turned up with an
offer to secure for Segal a loan of
81 ,125,O00, which was accepted. It
afterwards developed that the loan
came from the treasury of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, but
Segal claims that at the time he did
not know this.
To secure the loan for his real es-
tate operations Segal entered into a
bond with Kissel by which the bor-
rover turned over, along with other
security, $4,000 Of the $4,000 shares of
the Pennsylvania Refining company
and agreed that the sugar securities
should be put In voting trust, which
e9oVS ANAoSOAS "a "AoCFOl 1AO 10SSnC-
ed, control of Segal's sugar company.
The new controlling interests in the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining COM
pany forthwith elected a new board
of directors and this board soon after
wards passed resolution that the
Segal refinery should not be operated
at that time. Segal also borrowed
heavily from the Real Estate Trust
company, with whom was deposited
the securities for the so called sugar
trust loan. President Nipple of the
Real Estate Trust company had been
made custodian of these securities.
The trust company became involved
hopelessly and suspended. President
Nipple committed suicide
George H. Earle, receiver for the
Real Estate Trust company, recently
brought suit against the American
Sugar Refining company to recover
$50 100000 for alleged damages by the
closing down of the Segal refinery.
After the case was brought to trial
compromise was reached out OF court,
but the details of this settlement lave
not been made public.
