One gentleman, who rode In the
mayors automobile, vouches for the
truth of the story and the mayor and
Chief Collins do not deny it. although
they absolutely decline to divulge
any names. IL seems that a certain
automobiles assured the chief that II
would be utterly useless to watch his
machine, as II Is incapable of going
more than ~ miles an hour, which
Police Judge Cross considers a rea-
|sonable speed. Yesterday the mayor,
the chief and some other gentlemen
were riding In the mayors auto,
when they saw the 12-mile an hour
automobile running on ahead.
The owners statement was recalled
and Mayor Smith said: Lets play a
trick on him. We will slip up be-
side him and keep alongside, and You
watch the speedometer.
They did so. The mayors big auto
crept up so quietly that the 12-mile-
an-hour man did not hear them.
When they got alongside the mayor
hailed the auto and the chief glanced
down.
They we're beating IL out the pike
at 20 miles an hour fiat.
Hey, there, I've caught you now
yelled the chief. You're going 20
miles an hour"

APP ILLING CALAMITY
Three Provinces of Italy Devastated
by an Earthquake.
Greatest Disaster of Modern Times---Loss
of Life May Reach 100000.

Southwestern Italy was visited last
Monday morning by shocks OF earth
quake that destroyed cities, towns and
villages more or less totally and re-
suited in losses of human life that
may approximate half million souls.
The territory devastated by this ap-
palling and perhaps unprecedented
catastrophe comprises portions OF the
three provinces of Cozenza, Catanzero
and Reggi di Calabria, forming the
southwestern extremity of Italy proper
and the eastern side of the Island of
Sicily.
Messlna, in Sicily, was the largest
city in the stricken region, and it is
estimated that about 10000 of the pop
ulation of 10000 persisted. At Rig
gio, across the Straits of Messina on
the mainland, the death roll is said to
have Appropriated 10000. A number
of smaller towns were completely OBJ
| liter ated, and it is reported that the
group of Lepari Islands, with popu-
lation Of $4,000 geople, have disap-
peared beneath the surface of the
Mediterranean. Catania, also in ST.
city, was swept by three tidal waves
which drowned many Of the inhabi-
tants.
The horrors of FIRE, hunger, robbery
and rapine followed in the wake of the
seismic disturbance, and no fewer an
a million people are homeless and suf-
fering.
All the civilized nations of the earth
have been profoundly moved by this
gigantic disaster, everywhere
measures for the relief of the surviv-
| ing victims have been set afoot. Yes
sells laden with food and clothing are
being hurried to the scene, and refu-
gees are being transported to places
of safety as rapidly as possible. The
crews of several war ships of different
n ations have rendered invaluable aid
in rescuipg and protecting the living,
burying the dead and caring for the
wounded, and the feet of American
war vessels on it's way around the
world has been ordered to hasten to
Italy to take part in the relief work.
| The king and queen of Italy we're
among the first to visit the afflicted
provinces and engage actively in the
suecor of the survivors. The king is
taking large share il directing the
operations, while the queen is helping
to nurse the injured in the improvised
| hospitals. The king and his holiness,
the pope, are among the largest con-
tributors to the relief fund, which is
being augmented by contributions
from every quarter of the globe and
will doubtless grow to several millions
of dollars within the next two or three
weeks.
The catastrophe was appalling and
it's horrors beggar description, but the
warm heart of mankind throbs with
sympathy for the stricken italian peo-
! pie and will yield a measure of relief
in keeping with their great and urgent
need.
