STORY OF ESCAPE
OF JERSEY WOMAN
TOLD BY RELATIVE
Charles Sauraw and Wife, Who
Was Miss Heartt, of Bloom
field, Were Near Death.

William Sauraw, brother of Charles
Sauraw, of Messina, who married Miss
Heartt, daughter of the late Philip r.
Heartt, of Bloomfield, told a newspaper
correspondent of the rescue of his
brother and family. He said,
I'VE were awakened by the first
shock. Our impulse was to rush 10
the windows. We found them blocked,
and so decided to try the door. We
lived on the fourth floor m we feared
the stairway had been destroyed. We
decided to risk it, however, and we
hurried down, and Immediately after
it crumbled and fell. When we reached
the street the house collapsed.
Il then realized that my brother
Charles was in the ruins with his wife.
We discovered them buried up to their
necks. Their heads only were visible.
We hurriedly freed them. Their little
granddaughter, however, was lost.
Succeeding shocks shattered every
thing. We fled to the beach, clad only
in our nightgowns, and begged some
sailors to row us to the Chesapeake. a
petroleum ship, bound for Genoa. The
party is now in Rome.'
Mrs. Sauraw's relatives in Glen
Ridge are j. Pierson Heartt, Mrs. John
Scott Jarvie, sr., and Miss Heartt, of

President Asked for in
Message.

ORDERED TO SICILY
Executive Wants Emergency
Acts Taken by Him Approved,
as in Mt. Pelee Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Following
a message emf by the President today,
asking for $500, 900 for the relief of the
earthquake sufferers, Congress voted
$500, 900 for hat purpose. The message
of the President follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
'The appalling calamity which has
befallen the people okItaly is followed
by distress and suffering throughout a
wide region among many thousands
who have escaped with life, but whose
shelter and food and means of living
are destroyed. The ordinary machinery
for supplying the wants of civilized
communities is paralyzed. and an ex-
ceptional emergency exists. which de-
mands that the obligations OF humanity
shall regard no limit of national lines.
THE immense debt of civilization to
Italy, the warm and steadfast friend
snip between that country and our
own, the affection for their native land
felt by great numbers of good Amerl-
can citizens who are immigrants from
Italy, the abundance with which God
has blessed US in our safety; all these
should prompt us to immediate and
effective relief.
Private generosity is responding
nobly to the demand by contributions
through the safe and efficient channel
of the American Red Cross Society.
confident of your approval, | have
ordered the government su~pplyships
Celtic and Culgoa to the scene of dis
aster, where, upon receiving the au-
thority which l now ask from you, they
Will be able to dispense food, clothing
and other supplies with which they are
alden to the value of about 5000, GOO.
The Celtic has already sailed, and the
Culgoa Is at Port Said. Eight ves-
sells OF the returning battleship fleet
are already under orders for Italian
waters, and hat government has been
asked if their services can be made
useful.
Il recommend that the Congress ap-
prove the application of supplies above
indicated and further appropriate the
sum of $500, 600 to be applied to the
work of relief at the discretion of the
executive and with the consent, of the
Italian Government.
Il suggest that the law follow the
form of that PASSED after the Mount
Pelee disaster in 1902.

Since 1901 the Investigations covered

to the public domain, as to which there
was uncovered a ~far-reaching and
widespread system of fraudulent tran
