NAPLES HEARS BAD NEWS
FROM AFFECTED DISTRICT

Naples, June IA severe earth
shock caused a number of deaths and
much property damage in central Cam
pagnia early today. The disturbance
appears to have conferred in the prov
ince of Avellino. Telegraph wires were
torn down and communication with the
affected district was broken. Meager
reports received this forenoon indicate
that the greatest damage was done at
Calitri, in the province OF Avellino.
Calitri is said TO have been half de-
stroyed and 20 people are reported to
have been killed there. Other deaths
occurred at Valata, near by, and 1t is
feared fatalities will be reported from
other villages which for a time are cut
cff from communication NTH this city.
The shock occurred at 1907 this
morning, while the people were still in
their beds. Many houses at Calitri
tumbled, burying the occupants in the
ruins. Those who escaped death or
serious injury fed terror stricken from
their homes and into the country. None
waited to o street clothes and as a
result many suffered from exposure.
Troops were dispatched from all
quarters into the affected district as
soon as the loss OF life and property
damage became known. The shocks
were felt here, but no damage was
done in this immediate vicinity. News
from Salerno, at the head OF the Gulf
OF Salerno, 80 miles southeast of
Naples, Is to the effect that the shock
caused considerable damage.
The shock was felt for 10 seconds
in the province OF Aveiiino. II also
was felt strongly, but for a shorter
period. at CozenZa Paola, Catanzaro,
Reggie, PotenZa, Benevento. Capua and
Melh. II is said. however. that the
damage In these towns was not serious
and that there was no loss of life.
The province of Avellino occupies
the central part Of the compartment
Of Campagnia, and is directly east of
Naples. Calitri, which, according 20
latest reports received this forenoon,
suffered the most. is a town of about
5000 nhabitants. 1t is ituated on the
Ofanto river, seven miles northeast of
Coma.
The shock also was felt in the de-
parfments OF Basilicata, Calabria and
Sicily and the provinces OF Benevento,
Campobasso, Caserta and Naples. a
panic was created at Tore Annun-
ziata and Tore del Greco, where the
populations live in constant fear OF an
eruption from Mount Vesuvius.
Reports from Basilicata say that the
shock was felt severely at Potenza.
Similar reports come from Paola and
Catanzaro. in the compartment of Ca
labria, and from Palermo, on the north
ern coast of Sicily.

QUAKE WORKS HAVOC
IN ITALIAN VILLAGES;
MANY LIVES ARE LOST
With the Queen, Monarch VIII
Direct Work of Relief and
Rescue Among Those
Injured.

Avellino, Compartment of Cam
pania, Italy, June THE pre-
vince of Avellino bore the brunt of
a severe earthquake that was felt
throughout southern Italy shortly
before dawn today. Fatalities oc-
Cured and much damage was done
to property, but up to noon it was
impossible to determine the extent
of the devastation.
In this city little harm was done
and the only death reported was
that of an old man who died of
fright. The population, however,
was terror-stricken. Reports from
villages throughout the province
are much more grave.
Twenty people are reported
killed at Calitri, which is said to
have been badly damaged. The
situation there is distressing. Ter
persons are said to have met death
at San Sossio, where the sulphur
waters with which the district is
rich were released from bounds by
the disturbance and flooded the vi
cinity. From the flood noxiols
gases arose.
At Chianche a house fell, bury
ing and killing an aged man. One
person was killed and several were
injured at Castelbaronia. Gala
britto was badly damaged. Squads
of workmen, together with detach-
ments of soldiers, were dispatched
from this place to assist the suffer
ing villagers.
Came in Early Hours.
It was in the darkest hour of the
morning when the shock was felt here.
The sleeping town was aroused by the
shaking of walls, the rafting of furni-
ture and the falling of plaster. In a
momen panic had seized the 10000 in
habitants, who live in daily fear of a
seismic disaster.
Half naked men, women n children
fled from their homes, screaming with
terror. They had in their minds visions
of Messina n the horror of Reggie,
Recently there was gossiped about a
prediction hat the approach of Hal
ley's comet portended the end of the
world.
The authorities kept their heads, but
they could not stay the mad rush for
the squares and open districts outside
the city. The widest confusion pre-
vailed and the frightened ones could
not be reasoned with n could not be
stopped. In the squares hundreds
threw themselves on their faces n
implored the mercy of the Almighty.
Then the religious fervor found ex-
preston in half organized professions
to the shrine of st. Andrews, the pro-
tector OF the town. Others climbed to
the sanctuary on Monte Vergine.
After several hours of frantic en-
treaty the authorities succeeded in re-
establishing a semblance of calm n
relief squads were organized. AS is
usually the case, the inhabitants re-
fused to re-enter their homes, fearing
that another quake would occur.
Throughout the day the police were
busy bringing together the scattered
members of families and reassuring he
frightened ones.
Word that the king and queen were
enrOute here on a special train served
to afford new courage to the people
and had a good effect in restoring
order.

absolutly false. ''The board has taken
no action in the case of Annie Bruce.
Indeed, no consideration was given her
application at the last meeting of the
State Board of Pardons. No doubt this
rumor arose from the fact that in the
penitentiary of Colorado, at Canon City
\ where she is now incarcerated, she was
recently preparing to make application
for parole and the Denver News imme-
diately jumped to the conclusion that a
parole had been issued and published a
