Newspaper Men Summoned to Appear Before Grand Jury
 In Washington
SIX MEN IN INDIANAPOLIS
 SERVED WITH SUBPOENAS
Statement By the World Says Govern. ment Is Fishing and Steps Will Be Taken To Have the Sub
 poenas Quashed.

Washington, January 16.-Six Washing ton correspondents of out-of-town papers and local newsboy today received sub poenaes to appear next week before fed eral grand juries and give testimony pre- sumably In connection with statements appearing in their publications, bearing on the Panama canal purchase so far as 1t has been possible to ascertain. The following were the only ones cited:
 Otto Carmichael, Charles s. Albert and E. J. Jesse Conway, all of the New York World staff James Hornaday, Indianapo- lis News; Jeremiah Matthews New York Sun; Harris NJ. Christa, Brooklyn Eagle. and William Smith, newsboy of Wash ington engaged in selling New York papers. With the exception of MT. Crista, who is commanded to go to New York and present himself Monday morning be- fore the grand jury of the circuit court for the southern district, the parties arc directed to appear before the federal grand jury of the District of Columbia Tuesday morning next. The World staff were directed to bring with them files of the paper for September, October and De- cember, 1908, "in the case of the United States Vs the Press Publishing company publishers of the New York World All of the parties. when interviewed declared that they were wholly ignorant of the case regarding which they were called upon to testify.
 There is no doubt here that the sub poeneas all have to do with suit for libel, which it is believed has been brought by the government in New York against the World. The publishers of the World and of the Indianapolis News. Joseph Pulitzer and Delevan Smith, re- spectiyely, were seyerels denounced by the President in a letter dated December last to William Dudley Foulke. In his special message to Congress of December 10. regarding the charges of corruption, by or on behalf of the government in the matter of the canal purchase. the Presi-y dent announced that the Attorney Gen eral had under consideration the form in which the proceeding for libel against MT. Pulitzer should be brought.
 Never before has such action as the United States government is bringing for criminal libel been taken. The President in his message was most emphatic in saying that it should not be left to a private citizen to enter the suit, and he was particular to state that he did not believe i've should concern ourselves with the particular individual who wrote the lying and lbelous editorials, articles from correspondents, or articles in the news columns. The real offender is Mr. Jo- seph Pulitzer, editor and proprietor of the World"
 It Is therefore inferred that the corre- spondents were summoned as witnesses, with the ultimate idea of making them co-defendants

Rome, January (Special.)-Shocks continued at Messina all through last night. There was one rather violent tremor this morning which lasted several seconds.
 A careful summary of reports from va rious points indicates that fully 5000 vic- tims of the catastrophe have died since the day of the earthquake. These include the injured taken to Naples. Syracuse, Palermo and Rome.
 The problem of recovering bodies amid the debris has not yet been undertaken anywhere. The last few days have been devoted especially to Messina to a search for the most valuable of the many treas ures known to be within reach Many million dollars worth have already been

JONES RECEIVES
 NIGHT RIDER THREA I

Union City, Tenn, January 16-(Special) Judge Jones today received a threatening letter signed "Black Patch,' sent from co growing counties, declaring not one of the six men sentenced to hang would be executed. and if it were attempted an army of 6O.OC0 would march on him and do him up; that 30,000 soldiers could not thwart them in releasing the sentenced men.
 Governor Patterson came in for an equal share of the threat couched in ooscene language.

salvaged, especially priceless records, historical and valuable works of art.
 The situation has been improved sani- tarily by cool weather and deluges of rain which have made possible efforts that otherwise would have been imprac- ticable.
 The endeavors of the government to force the survivors to leave have been only partly successful. Some say they would rather starve near their old homes than go elsewhere as paupers. A device to smuggle away thousand from Mes sina by inducing them to go on board a ship to receive food supplies and then sailing off proved toe cruel for repetition. It appears that some families were broken up by this maneuver and the resulting grief on top of the calamity was pitiful.

The above inscription was found on

dug out and neatly arranged on the

yesterday by A. G.. COlclOugh, who i'm

In company with the marshal the re-

was closed with a wooden frame
made like the old style shutters

After crawling through this opening
for a space Of about FIVE feet you came
to the room. This had been well dug
out and arranged by the parties who
doubtless spent a great deal OF time
In making the excavation and putting In
the substantial timbers To keep the
ground from caving In about them
while they were on the inside. The
frame was constructed Of heavy 3x6
tlmbers and boards nailed along
around the wall Of the room. nails be-
ing placed az regular intervals all
along the sides.
On exploring the room We found
nothing particular Of note except a
handkerchief which had the initials In

place Il simply had the letter F."
