ITALY SHAKEN AGAIN.
Refugees Are Thrown Into A Panic
Relief Work Goes On,

Rome (By Cable) "A slight
earthquake shock was felt at Siena
and neighboring villages. The dis
turbance was particularly noticeable
at Cetona, where the 1900 refugees
living in huts at the foot of Mount
Catona, were thrown into a panic.
No damage resulted from the shock.
The work of relief is now taking
ON a more substantial and organized
form. Various committees are plan
ming the rebuilding of entire villages
and quarters of towns, to which
special names will be given in honor
OF their new founders. II is being
planned also to erect institutions for
children made orphans by the dis
aster, where the inmates will be
taught industrial pursuits. One of
these institutions, which will be
built with American funds. and
where one hundred orphans will be
quartered, will be given an Ameri-
can name.
DR.. Arthur r. Green and DIR.
Theodore Sach began distributing in
the earthquake zone sixty tons of
provisions sent there by Nathan
Straus, of New York.

CHILDREN ARE THE
WARDS OF The NATION
Congress Agrees On Methods For
Their Care.

Washington. d. C. Especially -
Advanced steps of far-reaching sig
| nificance to the future well being
| of the children of the country were
taken at the concluding session of
| the conference on the care of the
dependent children held In this city.
Voicing the unanimous sentiment OF
nearly 200 delegates, the conference
adopted a comprehensive report OF
Its conclusions as TO the most prac-
tical plan for promoting the welfare
or the neglected child.
one OF the most important recon-
mendations contained in the report
which was submitted to President
| Roosevelt at notable subscription
dinner given by the conference at
the New Willard requested the Pres
ident to send a message to Congress
urging the establishment of fed
eral children's bureau, one of whose
objects shall be to disseminate ac-
curate information in regard to
child-caring work and the needs of
the children. The report embodies
the conclusions of a two-day deliber.
alton by the most prominent charity
workers and others, and 1t deals with
CNCiy PhdDC vi lnt DIOUltu Vi
for the dependent child.
The banquet at night was a fit
ting climax to what is regarded as
the most important gathering ever
held in the interest of the nations
dependent children. President Roose-
velt, who initiated the great move
ment, listened with close attention
to the reading of the report, and
then gave expression to his own
views on the question.
Another important recommends
tion which the President was urged
to impress upon Congress was for
the enactment of such legislation as
will bring the laws and public ad-
ministration of the District of Col
umbia and other federal territories
into harmony with the conclusions
adopted by the conference.
Briefly summarized the conclu-
sions of the conference are as fol-
lows:
Children of worthy parents should,
as a rule, be kept with their par
ents; homeless and neglected chill
dren, If normal, should be cared for
in families, when practicable; chill
dren-caring institutions should be on
the cottage plan: states should in
spect all agencies caring for de-
pendent children; educational work
or institutions caring for dependent
children should be supervised by
state educational authorities; agen-
cies caring for children should CO.
operate to ascertain and control
causes of dependency, a permanent
organization for work along the line
of this declaration is desirable: pro-
hibitive legislation against transfer
of dependent children between states
should be repealed; cooperation be-
tween child-caring agencies, and
more thorough precautions for sur
gical and medical care of children in
all institutions.

QUAKE REPORTS DISCREDlTED
Destruction Of Barcelona, Spain Said
To Be Absolutely Untrue"
We're Slight Shocks at TOtana and
0ias Only.

Madrid Especially. - No further
news has been received here regard
ing the reported destruction of the
village of Romara, in Morocco. Ma
tives coming into Tetuan declared
that this village has been buried un-
der an avalanche of earth and rocks,
and that the dead and injured num-
bered 100. These statements are
similar TO previous reports received
week ago.
Further reports from the prov
inces confirm the previous statements
that there have been no serious
earthquakes in Spain. There were
slight shocks at Totana and Olias
only.
The reports of a tidal wave prob
ably are based on dispatches that
have been received from the Cata-
lonian coast during the last fort
night or so to the effect that little
by little the sea was encroaching on
the land. Up to the presena time the
damage from this advance has been
Insignificant
A message has just been received
here from Barcelona saying the re-
ports of disastrous earthquake and
tidal wave at that city are absolute
ly untrue.

A new DEVICE TO
STOP SEA DISASTERS
Great Things Are Claimed For
Steamship Brake,
BATTLESHIP INDIANA TO TEST IT.
The Brake is An Cd Idea, But
Has Never Been Tested on a Ship
So Large as the Indianda - Will
Be Given a Tryout in Delaware
Bay.

Philadelphia Especially. -- Marine
collisions similar TO that which oc-
Cured between the transatlantic
steamers Republic and Florida, re-
sulting in the sinking of the Repub-
lie, will in the future be lessened,
If not entirely wiped out, providing
a device styled steamship brake,
with which the Navy Department Is
about to equip the battleship In
diana at League Island Navy Yard
proves successful.
The ship brake, which is said TO
be one of the most wonderful devices
of its kind ever invented, will be
attached to the sides of the Indiana
amidships this week. BY its use,
it is said, a steamer can be brought
to a stop within a few seconds after
the brake is applied. Assistant Ma
val Constructor Reed, Of the League
Island Navy Yard, declared that the
device is expected to prove highly
valuable in cases of emergency,
where il is necessary to bring a ves-
sci to a sudden stop, will lessen the
danger of grounding on shoals and
in shallow waters and is also expect
ed to prevent collisions in foggy
weather.
To give the brake a severe test the
Navy Department has selected the
Indiana, a 15,000-ton vessel for the
first experiment, and, If the device
proves it's value, other vessels In the
navy, especially those equipped with
turbine engines, will receive the
brakes. That the Government Is
especially interested in the brake is
evident from the fact that orders
were received at League Island to go
ahead in attaching 1t with all haste.
1t is planned TO have the test made
in the Delaware Bay, with the Sec
retary of the Navy and other Gov
ernment officials present to witness
the experiment.
In discussing the brake and its
workings, Assistant Constructor Reed
said:
THE brake is an old idea, but has
never been tested on ship so
large as the Indiana. The Canadian
Government recently equipped
small Government steamship and a
merchant vessel with the brake and
the experiment proved highly sue
NtoSlul. Inc Drake Is not only eA-
pected to lessen the danger of col
lisions, but will also, 1t is thought,
be the means of turning big vessel
In small space and with little effort
The mechanism of the brake will
be operated by pneumatic control
On the flying bridge of the Indiana,
the station of the officers of the deck,
will be levers which will release the
triggers of the brake, which hold the
device against the side of the battle
ship, and, by hydraulic power, the
swinging doors, which form the
brakes, will open. Attached to the
sides of the brakes are cylinders in
rectangle position working on pis-
ton rods, which connect with the
brake proper. Each cylinder is filed
with water and when the brakes are
set loose the rush of water against
them, with the hydraulic pressure on
the water-filled cylinders, bring the
vessel to a stop"
