AMERICANS FIRST
IN HEARTS OF ITALY
KING DECLARE sAcTs OF HUMAN
ITARIANlsM SHOULD NEVER
BE FORGOTTEN.
RELlEF SHIP WITH CARGO OF
SUPPLIES READY TO CARE
FOR THOUSANDS.

! Rome. Jan. 7.-Ambassador Griscom
will leave here today for Messna to
meet the American squadron, which is
Expected to arrive there Saturday
The steamer Bayern. the American
relief ship, dying the Red Cross en-
blem, will sail for Messina today. This
steamer with its great cargo of sup
plies will be able to take care of
thousands OF sufferers. There are
three surgeons aboard and so nurses
Fifty-eight thousand dollars has been
spent for the medical outfit, provis
ions and clothes for distribution
ashore
There are medical supplies sufficient
for the establishment of three com
lplete camp hospitals ashore. Those
in charge of the expedition have $40
600 in small bills for careful distribu-
ton.
The generosity of the American peo-
pie in coming to the aid of the earth
quake sufferers is the predominating
feature now attracting attention here.
THE feeling Of gratefulness extends
from the king down to the most lowly
subject. In accepting in behalf of the
Italian nation, the ship which the
American people, through the Red
Cross, fitted up to mitigate the distress
Iof sufferers in the south. the king said
ito Ambassador Griscom:
"0ur people will be delighted TO
hear of this mark of international hu-
manitarianism and will follow with
the keenest interest the work OF
mercy which VIII be performed by the
Bayern"
The king further informed American
Ambassador that he had just read with
greatest appreciation the telegram
notifying the government of the appro-
priation of 100000 in behalf of the
victims.
What the United States has done
on this occasion is magnificent and
shall not be forgotten. The United
States stands first, out distancing all
others in sympathy and generosity.
Our gratitude is SO great that we can
not find words In which to express II.
Foreign Minister Tittoni said:
Never before on any occasion has
occurred such a demonstration of sym
patty as that OF America. 1t includes
all classes and conditions from the
president to the humpiest CITIZEN.
Nothing could more rightly bind to-
Igether the two countries, or render
their friendship closer"
Count Taverna, president OF the
Italian Red Cross, declared that the
offerings coming from America were
unprecedented, as also was the de-
voting Of a portion of the funds re-
ceiyed from the United States in b.
half q the relief ship chartered by
The Rome American committee
Certainly said the count, ''the
disaster has been immense, but It has
brought forth a manifestation Of In
ternational brotherhood which has
been remarkable on the part of the
United States"
The latest provisional statement
shows that 60 towns We're destroyed,
and the number of dead ia these is
165,053 This does not include hos,
pital deaths.

To BURN COKE ON
SUBURBAN TRAINS
ILLINOIS CENTRAL OFFICIALS
FIND GOOD SUBSTITUTE.
FOR COAL.

Chicago, Jan. THE Illinois Cen
trail railroad long-endnred smoke nui-
sance Is doomed at last. Coke win be
substituted for coal.
Louis c. Fritch, assistant to the
president of the company, made the
announcement yesterday that alter
an experiment that has lasted two
weeks, coke burned under the boilers
OF locomotives in the Chicago terminal
has proved so satisfactory that it un-
doubtedly viii supplant the smoke
generating coal pending the time when
eiectrification Of the entire terminus
shall reyolntionize atmospheric and
transportation conditions along the
south side water front
That elec. rification is the object at
which officials of the railroad are aim
ing Mr.. Fritch reiterated TO be the
fact but he insisted that the project
is a gigantic ono W Z involves the
expenditure of miDicns of dollars
Why" he said, one scheme under
consideration is a project to build a
great subway under the already de-
pressed tracks from Peck place to 18th
street. Such tunnel may be found
absolutely necessary to facilitate the
movement of local and suburban ex-
press cars on f1ye-minute headway
without interfering with the regular
freight and through passenger service
of the road. This tunnel project alone
eontemplates an outlay of $4,000. coo. ,

ton prior to the death of Buggy. but It
did not receive the approval of the

soon as presented. is for $500 and
the service of the elisor is paid for

While the city has paid some large
amounts in connection with the Ruef
trial, it would also appear that the ex.
boss has expended so much money
that he is now short of funds. Yester-
day there was filed for record a mort.
gage execcted by Ruef to secure a
loan of s5S,500 made by R. W. Muller.

MUST MAKE GOODS

FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS
THE PENALTY.

London, Jan. 7.-American holders
of patents taken out in the united
kingdom may as well recognize at
once that the new British patent act
is destined to be applied TO the full
extent of its rigorous demand that
they must manufacture their articles
on British soil or suffer revocation of
their patents. Last month Belgian
infraction Of the law led TO the
prompt application of inc penalty.
This week an American patent for
sewing machines has been revoked on
the ground that the machines are not
made in this country. The ON lers in
dignantly produced pieces which it
could be proved We're turned out on
British soil
Perhaps that is so, CURLY ruled
the comptro.ler-general, but the ma
chimes are not produced TO an ade-
quate extent on this side of the
water"
Appeal Is Likely to Fail
The Americans have appealed, but
it is evident that they have no chance
and that the c0mptrolier's ruling will
establish pre- cedent of such granite
like character that it will assure a
full and clear working Of David Lloyd
Georges measure. AS matter of
fact it promises to be even more pref
judicial to American interests than the
German Law, against which it was
largely intended TO initiate 1t
has been reported that the
sewing machine case is only
one of several waiting TO be decided

before the comptroller. who cannot in
itiate action himself but must wait
until an applica+ ION from some inter

1t is proposed peremp4orily to teach
Americans that their consuls are

St. Stephens Episcopal
Church Damaged By Fire.

On Tuesday morning of this week at
about AS O'Clock, fire broke out in St.
Stephens Episcopal church, this place.
Fire had been made early in the morn
ing to heat the room for those who were
working on the Christmas decorations.
From the fire in the stove the chimney
was set on fire and from this the wood
work caught.
The manner of construction Of the
building made the fire difficult one to
fight, the roof being of metal shingles
and the ceiling of the church being at
tached to the rafters from the square to
the comb of the roof.
In a few minutes after the alarm had
been sounded Guardian Hose Company
was on the scene with fire fighting appa-
ratus, but the fire could not be reached
until the weatherboarding and metal
roofing were cut away.
All the books, alter and furnishings,
pews, memorial windows, ETC., were car
ried out by willing helpers and were not
damaged. The pipe organ also escaped
without being damaged, but the ceiling
on the north side of the building was
partly torn off and the carpet soaked
with water.
The loss by fire and water will amount
to several hundred dollars, fully covered
by insurance in the Royal Fire ms. Co.,
Birely & Jones, Agents.
Rev. Thos. G. Hill is rector of the
church.
