Amount Already Collected Only the
Beginning of What Promises to Be
an Immense Sum in the Aggregate.
About $25o,0Oo Worth of Supplies
Already on the Way in Government
Vessel.
New York, Jan. 2.-The spontane-
GUS action throughout the country to
succor the distress of Italy has as
sumed the character of an imposing
national movement. Reports from all
sections of the country show cities,
individuals, societies, religious bodies,
Red Cross organizations, private cor
porations, commercial bodies and all
branches of public and private life
Joining In this humane and practical
expression of the American people in
behalf of the afflicted nation. Already
over 100000 in cash is In hand and
most Of this has been cahled or is on
its way to Italy. The reports show
this total to be only the beginning
and the aggregate promises to swell
to millions. Governors of states and
mayors of cities have issued appeals
and message from the president to
congress is expected when that body
reassembles on Monday.
The New York total is upward of
s150,000; Boston is nearing $4,000;
Chicago is raising 100000; ST. Louis
exceeds s25,000; Milwaukee and Provi-
dence are each nearing the $4,000
mark, while the initial amounts In
scores of other cities are reaching
thousands of dollars The Canadian
government has appropriated 100000
and the city of Toronto has added
$4,000 About $250,000 worth of sup
plies are already on the way to Italy
on the United States supply ship Gel
tic. With the appropriation which the
American congress IS expected to
make the aggregate from the United
States and Canada will run into mil
lions.

volunteers ave thankfully accepted
and there is room for thousands more.
Professor Alfani of the Florence OBJ
servatory predicts that the seismic
activities will continue for three years
to come. He recommends the enforce
ment of restrictive building laws In
the earthquake zones of Italy.
The personal accounts of survivors
ali go to confirm the first reports OF
the extent of the disaster and they
but add to the gruesome recital of
suffering and pathetic inability to
help the injured. One feature of the
disaster at Reggie is the large num-
Der of homeless children. In some
cases little babies were found creep
ting about in the ruins and 1t was i'm
possible to restore them to their par
ents even if their parents are alive.
in many cases survivors recovered
consciousness to find themselves far
away from the zone of the disasters.
Large numbers of survivors have be-
come insane. They try to throw them
selves overheard, if they are at sea-
or to hurl themselves out of car win
dows.
What has taken place at Reggie has
been repetition of the scenes at
Messina. But the proportion of the
population to perish at the former
place is higher Today the conditions
at Reggie are worse than at Messina,
owing to the danger of epidemic from
decomposing bodies.
1t has been proposed, in small vii
lagos where not one house remains
standing, to set the debris on fire as
means of publication.

HISTORIC PLACES CLOSED
State of Alabama Now in the Prohibi.
tion Column.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 2.-For the
first time since Alabama became a
state, or in fact since De Soto set his
foot on It's sacred soil, the legal sale
of liquor is not part of its economy.
Historic places where men of national
note have gathered for centuries are
closed and there is a Sunday look
about the entire city that makes men
feel lonesome as they walk down the
streets.
The Montgomery liquor men will
test the law. This much has been
decided upon. Leon We'll, of one OF
the largest law firms of the South,
will demand license and on being
refused will test the legality of the
act In the meantime the better class
In fact all of the saloons, are closed
tight.
Mayor league has issued orders to
the police to see there are no viola
tions.

LIPARI ISLANDS
NOT DESTROYED
First Cheerful News Since
Earthquake Occurred.
SUCCOR FOR SURVIVORS

Its Energies in Removing the
Wounded to Points Where Medical
Attention Is Available and the Un-
injured Will Be Taken Away to
Avoid Epidemics.
Rome, Jan. 2-The first cheerful
news since the devastation of Gala
bria and Eastern Sicily by earthquake
ceived by the minister of marine. A
dispatch from the commander of the
torpedo boat sent post haste to verify
the report that the Lipari, or Aeolian
Islands, had been engulfed and all of
the population, some $4,000 people,
annihilated, brought the grateful in
formation that while the islands had
experienced the earthquake only few
buildings have been demolished and
that no lives were lost.
Otherwise the story coming from
the south is a repetition of the previ-
Gus recitals of devastation, suffering,
starvation and horror.
The king and the queen of Italy con-
tinue their pious pilgrimage along
what was once the beautiful and smil-
Ing eastern coast of Sicily, but which
today is desolated region strewn
with unsepulchered dead and where
thousands are dying in anguish amid
the ruins of their homes.
The Duke of Aosta is also on the
scene devoting himself to succor Of
his countrymen. The duke has visited
Palmi and all the surrounding vii
lagos. This section, after Messina and
Reggie, suffered more heavily than
any other.
To Care for Survivors.
In view of these conditions the gov
ernment has decided to concentrate
Its energies to removing the wounded
to points where they can receive
proper attention. Uninjured survivors
also will be assisted from the devas-
tated territory and it is hoped that in
this way serious epidemics can be
avoided. The colossal emigrant steam
ships that for years past have been
engaged in transporting the surplus
population of Calabria and Sicily to
the four corners of the world, but es-
pecially to the United States, are to.

They Are a Gift of ex-Sheriff John
WiIkerson.

Six months hence the Topeka police
department will be in a position to
better cope with the criminal ele-
ment. Due to the generosity of ex
Sheriff John Wilkerson, who has pre-
sented them with a pair of southern
blood hounds this will be made pos
sible. Already the hounds have
learned to trail the man who keeps
and feeds them, and in another month
the active training of the dogs will
begin.
During the seven short weeks of
their lives, the pups have made rapid
progress and with the inherent char
acteristics of their kind can be heard
to bay while confined in the police
ltion, in such tones as their little
threats make possible. At the age of
three months the real training of the
dogs will begin. 1t is expected that
by the time three or four months
have elapsed, they will have pro-
crossed so far as to be of use in trail
ing a criminal.
Police authorities here are of the
opinion that the future allies of the
detectives will be the most valuable
adjunct that the department could
have, and extraordinary effort will be
taken in their care and training. The
dogs have been named "Bilp' and
Joe after Detectives Hutton and

Ministries appeared in the frs. 'en-
semble," the white roses appearing in
the background, red ones to the fore,
and the noble sunfiower in the center
attempting to take the principal part
in a comedv which apparently he mad
himself written. There are different
kinds of comedy and this was one of
them.
In many ways it was clever, despite
the conglomeration of lines, and the
occasional offering of cabbages, hurled
over the footlights; also the use of the
hook in one or two instances to bring
back the lamb into the fold. Every

FRANK VERDICT STANDS.
Judge Dana Says Case Has Already
Consumed Too Much Time.

Judge Dana overruled a motion to
set aside the divorce decree of Edward
G. Frank from Madge Frank today,
stating that the case had already con-
sumed too much time in district court
and that in any event the result would
likely be the same.
The divorce had been granted De-
cember 27 on default of Mrs. Frank.
The family affair was first aired in
court when Madge Frank petitioned for
alimony in February. E. G. Frank is
an emp1oye in the electrical depart
ment of the Santa Fe. His wife al
leging nonsupport secured alimony of
$35 down and S25 a month. The hus-
band filed Ills divorce suit October 80.
In his decision the judge said that it
was a fact that Mrs Frank, in the
collection of her alimony, continually
and repeatedly had her husbands
wages garnisheed and hampered him
in the payment of his obligation. Also,
that he believed the man a good fell
low who, thus freed. would make
somebody of himself.

NO MARRIAGE LICENSES TO-DAY.
Probate Judge Says People Are Afraid
of Ill Omens.

Marrying people are very supersti-
tious, according to the records at the
probate court, where no licenses or
marriages were chalked today.
You may be surprised said Judge
Schoch, but it is mighty seldom we
are asked for a license on Friday.
They are afraid of Friday and will
not take the chance"
And if couples are marrying hon
estly and expect to do so but once,
they ought to be mighty careful, or
if, as is frequently the case one does
not know what sort of a mate one is
Harvesting up with, then all the more
reason why one should be careful to
evade any i'll omens.
