SOME LOSS OF
LIFE RESULTS
Earthquake Shocks Occur in
Southern Italy.
NUMBER OF TOWNS SUFFER

Disturbance Appears to Have Spent
Its Force in the Province of AveI-
limo, Where a Score or More Of Fa-
taIities Are Reported-king and
Queen Leave Rome for the Scene of
the Disaster.
Naples, June S.-Earthquake shocks
of unusual intensity were experienced
throughout Southern Italy, including
the island of Sicily. The extent Of
the damage wrought has not been lie
termined, but it is believed at least
thirty-seven persons were killed and
that property losses in certain dis
tricts will be heavy.
The shock appeared to have spent
its force chiefly in the province of
Avellino, in Central Campania, east of
Naples. The village of Calitri suf-
fered the most. One report has it
that half of the town was destroyed.
The shock also was felt in the de-
partments of Basilicata, Calabria and
Sicily. 1t centered in the province of
Avellino, in Campania, but extended
throughout the provinces Of Beneven-
to, C%ampabasso, Caserta and Naples.
Fatalities are reported at San Sos
sio, Chianche, Castelbaronia and San
Sele.
The disturbance disrupted telegraph
communication generally in the prov
inces most affected and further details
are awaited by the officials with ap
prehension.
Inhabitants Terror Stricken.
The inhabitants of the various towns
which felt the quake were thrown into
a panic and the authorities had much
difficulty in restoring order.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena, upon receiving word of the
suffering, left hastily on a special
train for the scene and soldiers and
a medical corps were dispatched to
render first aid. 1t was announced
that the government had called upon
parliament for an appropriation of
500, 900 for use among the afflicted.
The latest report received here told
of five deaths at San Sele, a village
of the province of Potenza, in the
compartment of Basilicata. Every
house in the village was damaged.
Ten persons are said to have met
death at San Sossio, where the sui
phur waters, with which the district
is rich, were released from bounds by
the disturbance and flooded the vicin-
fty. From the flood noxious gases
arose.

May VOTE FOR SENATE BILL
House Insurgents Fear to Trust Meas
ure to Conferees.

H
Washington, June 8.-The agree
ment between President Taft and the
twenty-five Middle-Western railroads
to postpone action on the proposed in
creased rates until the new railroad
law becomes effective, put a new light
on the situation in the house, where
the battle is on over the question of
sending the bill to conference.
The senate bill is worded so that it
would not become effective until sixty
days after passage. The president,
the railroads and the administration
forces are urging the necessity of
amending this to make the law effec-
tive Immediately. Such an amend
ment may be made only by the con-
ference committee.
At least twenty-five insurgent Repub-
licans, according to Representative
Nelson of Wisconsin, stand ready to
vote for the acceptance Of the senate
bill, rather than trust the measure to
the hands Of the conferees Of the
house and senate, as they fear it
would be amended far more than the
changing Of the date of effectiveness.
Representative Underwood "(Dem,
Ala.) said that he would not vote for
the senate measure because Of the re
bate clause which, in his opinion,
places an inadequate penalty on q rail-
road quoting a wrong rate" to q ship
per. The insurgents assert. however,
that this talk OF the Democrats is
Campaigning and when 1t comes to
! pinch they will vote for the senate

The United States department of ag-
riculture Is using this year on the
national forests over ten tons OF tree
seed. Most of this seed has already
been planted or sown. The rest Will
be utilized later in the season as fav-
orable conditions are presented II
takes a great many tree seeds TO make
ten tons. Jack pine, the most import
ant tree for planting in the Nebraska
sand hills by the forest service, will
average something like $4,000 seeds
to the pound OF western yellow pine
the tree most extensively planted thru
out the national forests as Il whole
10 600 seeds will make a pound. AL
together, the ten tons of seeds to be
used this year represent perhaps $780,

"erouch Germ" Discovered.

Scientists have found the crouch
germ" according to reports from Kan
sas City. This germ. 1t is believed.
thrives particularly in the vicinity OF
monographs and in neighborhoods
where great many young porch par
ties celebrate until the small hours Of
the morning. These Crouch germs"
are great travellers and are carried
about from place to place. They are
spread by bill collectors, book agents
and persons who SO from house to
house selling potato peelers and glass
cutters. Those who go about with
subscription lists seeking donations
are also responsible for the wide scat
tering of the little microbe which pro-
duces peevishness In hot weather.
With these pointers one may know
how to avoid giving the pest chance
to carry on its fendish work.

Inspiration In Dreams.

Coleridge must be added to the list
of authors who have found inspiration
in dreams, for he himself told us thai
he composed over 200 lines of "Kubll
Khan" during sleep of three hours
On awaking he wrote down the frag
ment now existing, but the Interrupt
ton of a visitor banished the res,
from his mind. The first idea of 1.-THE
Ancient Mariner" too. was suggested
to the poet by dream of his friend
Cruikshank. And Kipling's "Greatest
Story in the World" was but the half
remembered dream of q commonplace
