LIVED IN RUINS
NINETEEN DAYS
Three Children Rescued From
Debris at MeSsina at Star
walton Point.

Messina. Jan. IA thrilling rescue was
effected this morning wneu- after having
been for nineteen days under the ruins Of
their home, three children Of NtCol Minis
soil. who emigrated to America some time
go were saved. Francesca NinissoG.
boy, aged 2. managed today to crawl out
alone by burrowing from the ruins and
through a hole which seems too narrow
for even a cat TO pass through. He was
wounded and covered with blood. Once
in the open he tainted, but was taken to
A hospital where he was soon revived ana

been buried with him, then were rescued
by soldiers.
The boys story seemed almost incredi-
BILE On the morning Of the earthquake
he said he saw his mother crushed 10
death under the beams Of the ceiling iu
their home. Francesca and his two sisters
fled to the next room, but in few min
utes they were precipitated to the cellar.
They made desperate efforts to get out
but failed In absolute darkness, holding
each others hands and implOring the
Madonna for protection, the children
groped about the cellar and found a few
onions and some wine, water and oil.
For sixteen days thus they lived iu
perfect darkness. Then when hope almost
had fled, and when his sisters had re-
signed themselves TO die. francesca saw
in one corner of the prison a faint and
uncertain CLEAN of light. Rushing to the
spot, he worked at the debris and for
three days kept at his task. until 81 last
he forced his passage through the open
ing he had made His sisters we're too
large TO follow him to safety.
When he had told his story, Francesca
led a number Of officers and soldiers To
the spot, and himself directed the work
of rescuinE his sisters. who were carried
on stretchers to hospital.

WOULD RESTRICT
USE OF PICTURES
Bill introduced to Prohibit Pub
fishing for Advertising OF
Cuts Without Consent.

In this senate yesterday a bill was in
PRODUCED as Senate bill No. 6. making it
a Iaisdemeanor to use the name of any
person for advertising purposes or pur-
poses of trade. without first receiving the
written consent Of the person whose pic
tuTe is TO be used. The bill also makes
such use a ground for a damage suit.
Senator Carl Badger OF Salt Lake is
the father of the bill, which is a copy of
the New York statute on the subject. II
is designed to prevent the use Of per-
sons name or picture as part of a Ia
bel for cigars or other products. or as a
part of any public advertisement, without
the written consent of the person, whose
name OF picture Is so used.
The bill will probably be amended in or
der to comply with suggestion OF Gov
ernor SpTy contained IT, his annual mes
sage. Governor Spry said:
Il am of the opinion that the state
should not permit the use OF the name OF
any of its public institutions, OF the Off
cial title of any of its officers. for the
purpose of advertising or promoting the
sale of any article Of merchandise, or
stock in any corporation. and l recon-
mend that appropriate legislation De en-
acted to prevent such practice"
This recommendation Is said to be Tor
legislation that will prevent manutac-
turing concern of Logan, which makes a
substitute for coffee from calling a brand
of their products The Agricultural Col
lege'' brand and from using on this label
a cut of the Agricultural college.

To The Salt Lake Herald:
As citizen of Utah, a father of sew
eral children, and as one deeply inter
ested in their physical and moral welfare
as well as that of my fellow citizens,
address you. ] believe now Is the time
much as one might naturally dislike to
appear before the pubiie-fOr every father
and every citizen to come out In the open
and declare himself upon the one, all-im-
pOrtant question before the public. l must
confess that, after reading the papers OF
the 18th and learning Of the ignoring
of the greatest question before the peo-
pie, by Governor Spry in his message to
the legislature, my hope of obtaining
prohibition law for Utah received
! shock. Even after learning of the omis-
sion / still had a lingering hope that,
perhaps. the subject, being so weighty
a enc. was reserved for a special message
recommending its passage. (somehOw OF
other | took it for granted the governor
must be in favor of such good meas
ure) and that in his hurry he might pos
sibly have forgotten TO refer to the forth
coming additional message, but alas, ne
has since stated that he did not intend to
do So and my lingering hope that we had
the governor with us is fading.
What a spectacle. The people OF the
commonwealth aroused to the fact that
terrible foe is making a fearful onslaught
upon them. already having devastated
large portions of its territory, with death
and destruction. Mass meetings are being
held all over the country, petitions are be-
ing signed By tens OF thousands OF people
praying for a declaration of war. Just at
this time the legislature of the common
wealth convenes. The governor by reason
of his constitutional right and duty is
called upon to recommend needful legis-
lation. With anxious but hopeful hearts
the people. are eagerly waiting for the
words which will encourage our represen-
tatives TO take the lawful steps to fight
the common enemy and preserve our
wives and children from the fearful i'm
pending atrocities of the advancing enemy.
The reading of the last paragraph of the
long message is ended. Silence. Not a
single word OF hope. Who can describe
the terrible disappointment that suddenly
seizes the heart. How can one be blamed
for thinking of the word traitor or foe
upon the impulse of the moment. After
few moments. however. of cslmer

I'm order to make a proper exhibit OF
