GIRL DRINKS CFLOROFORM;

Saturated Handkerchief Over Her
Face When Found.
Especial to the Evening Star. I

MT. HOLLY, Jan. efforts at self
destruction were unavailing last night
in the case of Anna May Gale, 16 years
old, of Bispham and Monroe streets.
She was found in bed by her grand
mother, her face buried in a handker-
chief saturated with chloroform. An
ounce of h drug had beer purchased
at a pharmacy during the evening, the
girl stating hat she wanted to kill a
cat. She swallowed most of the con.
tents of the bottle before getting into
bed. Hard work on the part Of physi-
clans saved her life.
Miss Gale will give no motive for her
attempted suicide, other than she does
not care to live longer.

sity,i who Is an assistant of Professor
Mateucci, the famous s~eismosraphical
authority, TINT a great earthquake
tremor was due today or tomorrow, has
thrown all Calnbrih and Sicily into a
wild panic. As n result of the terror
of the people, the work of rescue has
been hampsred and there is a mad rush
to board tie ships In the harbOr.
Shocks are continuing here at the
rate of about ten per hour, Fire also
has again broken out, completing the
destruction of the City Hall and the
records stored therein.
A party of men under the direction Of
Major Lands, the American military at
tache at Rome, has been working for
four days to extricate the bodies of
A. S. Cheney and his wife from the
ruins of the American consulate. The
apartment of the Cheneys has not yet
been uncovered. and many feet of
wreckage still remain to be removed.
Consuls Are Active.
Bayard Cutting, jr., Winthrop Chan
Ter and Stuart X. Lupton, American
consular representatives. are making
every effort to trace Americans sup
posed to have been in the earthquake
zone at the time of the disaster, but so
far without success.
The authorities have determined to
Isolate Messina as the only means of
preventing an outbreak of serious ILL.,

the starving refugees refuse the most
nutritious food and want only macca-
roni. The work of the soldiers in Mes
sina today consists principally in gath
ering up dead bodies and burying them
in trenches between layers of %quicklimc.
Out of respect to the prevailing reli-
gious feeling it was determined not to
burn the dead.
Suburbs Neglected.
The work of relief is now well under
way in Messina, but the smaller towns
in the interior are being neglected.
Ships arriving on the scene hencefor-
ward will be sent to the coast towns
and parties will go inland with sup
plies. The English ave established a
splendid relief camp in the hills behind
San Giovanni.
The search for survivors is still going
on n yesterday seven living persons
were taken from the ruins. The ma
jority of those now found alive are
children and elderly people. who evil
IDENTIFY did not expend their energies In
vain efforts to free themselves.
The policy of clearing Messina was
inaugurated yesterday with the refusal
Of the authorities to furnish people with
food unless they agreed to embark for
transportation elsewhere. This has
done to discourage peasants com
ing down from the mountains to take
advantage of the free distribution of
rations.
