LOOTING IN MESSINA.
Military Governor Describes Meas.
ures to Prevent Thieving.

ROME, January 1.-THE Corriere Italia
publishes an interview today with Gen.
Mazza dealing especially with the looting
in the earthquake zone. The general is
quoted as follows:
What especially preoccupies ME is the
succession of thefts since the first day
of the disaster. Hundreds of native and
foreign malefactors have poured into the
devastated district. searching among the
ruins for bodies to despoil or treasure to
sack. The dead have been found with
fingers cut off to remove rings and with
ears torn to remove ear pendants. Many
signs of robbery have been discovered In
half ruined houses which the thieves pen
etrated during the days of general fright
and disorder The other night group of
peasants who wanted to enter the city
for evident motives of theft fired upon
three carabineerS, wOunding one seriously.
Every day since the state of siege, which
intend to maintain vigorously, the mill
tary tribunals have distributed the grav-
est penalties to hundreds of persons sus-
pected of theft. All the severity of a
military regime will be invoked against
those in whose possession are found OBJ
iects of value or money of which they
can give no satisfactory account
I'm order to clear the city of criminals
my program is to allow no one to enter
the city except those whose interests
make it absolutely necessary and to them
shall give an escort Of sailors and sol
diers to guard against any harm to pub
lie or private property. The city will be
emptied as much as possible Of inhabi-
tauts, especially the vagabonds. who OBJ
struct the work of the authorities. The
vagabonds will be elected, while / will
try to persuade the inhabitants to go to
nearby villages to construct huts out
side of the town.
above all it is necessary to obviate the
danger of an epidemic. The 10000 corpses
which arc now purifying under the debris
are a menace to public health. The great
est possible number of bodies will be eX-
cavated and buried. To escape the ex-
halation when excavation is impossible
the ruins will be flooded with torrents OF
ouicklime and disinfectantS."

Electrical Age Nearing.

from Inc Toledo Blade.
Benjamin Frankling went flying kites in
thunder showers to some purpose. He
hadn't a guess as to the wonderful future
of that discovery of his and probably
never in the moments of greatest citation
over the strange results Of his expert
ments did there come TO him vision of
that which was to be realized.
Nowadays. electricity is constantly as
Stunning more and more of the world s
work. There are few things that it does
not do fewer by far, than it cannot do
II given the opportunity The application
of the sorce to practical labor waits less
on the will of the inventor than on the
determination of the user Of power to
test electricity in his business
There Is prospect Of wider applica ton
of electricity to the heating of dwellings,
The thing is most feasible, but has seem
ed to have met with a wall of conserva-
tism. Even in the places where water
power has cheapened electricity it's sub

The arrival of the electrical age appears
almost at hand. 1t is here so far as our
communication is concerned. nearly here
as regards transportation. Production Is

Utilizing Vacant Lots.

From the Jersey City Journal.
Attempts have been made in many mu-
inequalities to utilize vacant land by plac-
ing it under cultivation. but most of the
attempts have failed for the lack of prop
err direction and the scarcity of workers.
The partial success that was attained in
Philadelphia during hard times a few
years ago. when quitee a large crop of
potatoes was raised on vacant lots, has
stimulated q movement In the city of
London that has a hopeful outlook. A
society was incorporated to promote the
cultivation Of vacant land in the city, and
experts employed by the Vacant Lots
Cultivation Society reported that there
are 10000 acres of vacant lots within
the metropolitan area Of London and il
all were under cultivation the crops would
be worth 100000.
This London society has employed a
gardener and assistants and Is securing
agreements with the landowners by which
the present unsightly lands will be turn
ed into farms and gardens.
The object sought by the society is to
beautify the vacant lots, to provide for
unemployed labor and to produce wealth
out of the ground to be used for philan-
thropic purposes. There are vacant
lots in every city and a society similar
to that in London in every city would do
a great deal of practical good for the I'M
employed. besides improving the appear
ance of the vacant lots.
