Rome, Jan. 8.-A special train left

They will sail for Messina on board
the steamer Bayern, chartered to con-
vey the American relief to the south.
The party includes William Hooper

John Elliott, Wilfred Thompson and
score of other Americans, including
doctors and nurses. Mrs. Griscom,
Mrs. Gay and Mrs Elliott accompany
the relief workers as far as Civita
Vecchia.

he will start the Bayern on it's work

Earthquakes Still Continue.
Messina, Jan. s. - Earthquake
shocks are still continuing here at
the rate of about ten per hour. Fire
also has again broken out, completing
the destruction of the city hall and
the records stored therein.
A party Of men under the direction
Of Maj. Landis, the American military
attache at Rome, has been working
for four days to extricate the bodies
of A. S. Cheney and his wife from the
ruins of the American consulate. The
apartment of the Cheneys has not vet
been uncovered, and many feet of
wreckage still remain to be removed.

supposed to have been in the earth
quake zone at the time of the disas-
ter, but so far without success.
The authorities have determined to
isolate Messina as the only means of
preventing an outbreak of serious ILL.,
ness. The relief parties complain that
the starving refugees refuse the most
nutritious food, and want only mac
aroni. The work of the soldiers in
Messina to-day consists principally in
gathering up dead bodies and burying
them in trenches between layers of
quicklime.
Take Living from Ruins.
The search for survivors is still 20.
ing on, and seven living persons were
taken from the ruins. The majority
OF those now found alive are children
and elderly people, who evidently did
not expend their energies in vain ef-
forts to free themselves.
The policy of clearing Messina was
inaugurated with the refusal of the
authorities to furnish people with food
unless they agreed to embark for
transportation elsewhere. This has
been done to discourage peasants COM
ing down from the mountains to take
advantage of the free distribution of
rations.

across swamp near the mountain
pasture Of the lost man, and just at
this point he noticed that fox had
trampled a path through the swamp.
He followed this path instinctively un.
til he came to a hole which the fox
had dug down into the wet ground.
The Finn thrust his ski staff into the
hole and felt as though he struck a
bunch of clothes. He dug down with
his hand and found a piece of cloth
from which he cut a strip and went
directly to the settlement. Some men
went to the place at once, and they
soon ascertained that they had found
the body of Knut Presterud. The bal

to work on the case, and they came
to the conclusion that the man had
been killed. Suspicion fell on Jakob
Smilgaarden of Etnedal, and he was
arrested. Knut Presterud is said to
have carried a considerable amount
of money on his person when he dis

If a majority can eventually be obtained
for this legislation, it will be made up Of
republicans and democrats. In the senate
yesterday It was agreed that the considera-
ton Of this subject would follow the dis
position of the wool schedule. 1t is likely
that the first bout over the income tax
will result in a postponement of its con-

have been fully determined upon, as SEN

done the need for additional revenue from
any other source cannot be known.
