ture was explained recently by H. ].

the menace, and a man with gun has
to guard the dam to keep squirrels
from puncturing it and starting
break. At the dam colony OF cats
has been placed to chase squirrels,
and one of the men has devised
great number of little crosses with
ribbon from the arms and crossls
set at each squirrel hole SO that as the
breeze blows the ribbons f1utter and
when the squirrel comes up 1t ID

Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup is
used nearly everywhere, because it not
only heals irritation of the throat and
stops the cough, but it drives the cold
out of the system through its laxative
principles by assuring a free and gen
tie action of the bowels, and that is the
only way to cure a cold. You can't
cure it as long as you are constipated.

Slams $500. 900 Relief Bill

Washington, Jan. 6.-The president
shortly before two o'clock yesterday
afternoon signed the bill passed by
both houses of congress appropriating
100000 for the relief of the Italian
earthquake sufferers.
Quakes Continue at Messina.
Messina, Jan. 6.-Earthquake shocks
continued here, although they are d.
minishing in intensity. The fires In
the city also are being gradually ex-
tinguished Thirty thousand rations
were distributed. The official figures
compiled thus far show that $4,000
bodies have been buried in four Gene
teries, that 5000 refugees have left
the city, and that 5000 persons still
remain here.
Instead Of excavating in an en-
deavor to find the bodies buried be-
meath the ruins, it has been proposed
that every house in which it is be-
lieved persons are buried shall be COW
cred with quicklime.
The correspondent has made visit
to Reggie and carefully inspected the
town. 1t has been found that the
number of persons killed there and
the damage done to property is much
less than at Messina. Only the cen
trail section of the city was damaged.
About 5000 troops are working there.
The official figures place the wound
ed at Reggie at 1000 and the refu-
| gees at 1000. The number of dead in
the ruins is not known.
Reggie has been practically evacu-
ated, except for the troops and the
marines from two British warships
are causing the populace to evacuate
Villa San Giovanni, which is consid-
cred to have been the center of the

Work of Rescue Pathetic.
The work of rescue at the home in
Messina of the British chaplain, HUI.
latt-or, to be more exact, the piles
of ruins which had been his house
was the most pathetic. The rescue
party, through heroic efforts, had sue
ceeded in reaching portion of the
ruins from under which came groans
indicating that one or more of the
inmates Of what had been a house
were yet living. This fact infused
fresh vigor into the men, and they
worked heroically; but although they
continued in their efforts until late
into the night, no success rewarded
their efforts Work was resumed al
daybreak, when the men fell to theil
task with vim, feeling certain thai
Mr.. Hulatt, his wife and four children
were beneath the debris.

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER
is CALLED PERJURER
Counsel for Defense in Criminal Libel
Case Accuses the Oil
Kings Son.

New York, Jan. 6-John D. Rookie,
Teller. Jr., was called perjurer
by counsel for the defense in his
action for criminal libel against s. 8.
Carvalho, E. H. Clark and Bradford
Merrill, officers of the Star Publishing
Company, which publishes the New
York American. The case was on
hearing before Magistrate Moss in the
Center street police court.
Upon being sworn as the first wit
ness, Mr.. Rockefeller testified that the
article published in the December II
issue of the American in which he was
accused of having caused a system OF
peonage to be adopted by certain
breakfast food company of Chicago,
was false in every particular. He had
not set foot in Chicago, he declared,
for nearly two years.
Clarence ]. Shearn, attorney for the
defendants, submitted retraction
printed on the day following the publ
cation of the original story, as evil
dence that the libel had not been COM
mitted with malicious intent. Mr..
Shearn then cross-examined the wit
| ness and secured from him an admis-
sion that while he had sworn in his
original complaint that he knew "of
his own personal knowledge" that the
defendants were officers of the Star
Publishing Company, that knowledge
had in reality been based simply upon
information and belief" Mr.. Shearn
contended that this constituted per-
jury on the part of Mr.. Rockefeller
and promptly applied for warrant
for his arrest on that charge.
Assistant District Attorney Caravan
protested vigorously against the charge
being taken seriously, but Mr.. Shearn
insisted and Magistrate Moss took the
matter under advisement.
The question of malicious intent was
also left for future adjudication next
