Anything further from the truth than
the fanciful picture of "Afric's sunny

equally imaginative conception Of the

All three of the defendants were In

and notice of an appeal to the court Of
appeals Of the District of Columbia at
once was filed, Gompers being re-.
leased on $4,000 bond: Mitchell on 49,

visibly affected. ..
With tears coursing down his own

order of the court which condemned
him to prison for year. Both Mitch

the sentence, although Mitchell ap-
peared to be the least concerned.
Asked If he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced,
President Gompers declared that he
had not consciously violated any law.
There was much he would like to say,
he said, but he could not do it at that
time. He added, however. that "this

Gompers had said.

Rome. Dec. 30.-The disaster in

Rome, Dec. 30.-The extent of the
appalling calamity in Southern Italy
and the island of Sicily cannot yet be
grasped. The earthquake wrecked
city after city and oblfterated smaller
towns and villages without number.
Then q tidal wave swept along the
Strait Of Messina and added to the
horror, drowning the people in their
helplessness and panic. Fire came to
complete the work of destruction.
Flames broke out in the devastated
cities and countless numbers of
wounded men, women and children
were burned to death.
Any adequate estimate of the total
casualties is as yet quite impossible,
but the Rome Tribuna places the num-
Der at between sixty and seventy thou
sand. .-.
The horror and destructiveness of
this visitation probably will exceed
that of any earthquake in Italy since
1888, when 10000 persons persisted at
Messina alone.
Reports of heavy loss of life. are
coming in every hour from nearly
every city, town and village in the
