THOUSANDS ARE
NOW HOMELESS
New Eruption of Mt. Etna
the Cause.
MANY VILLAGES WERE BURIED
People Fled From Flowing
Streams of Hot Lava
Farms Covered.

Catania, Sicily, March 26.-ThOus-
ands of people are rendered home
Less by the new eruption of Mt. Etna,
which bids fair TO be the most de-
structive Of modern times. The peo-
pie are all fleeing toward this city.
The scene rivals that of fifteen
months ago, when this city became
the refuge of many of Messina's in
habitants after the earthquake shock
The eruption increases in violence.
Six new craters have opened in the
sides of the mountain, and streams
Of lava fifty feet deep and half mile
WIDE, swept down the mountain slopes
at a rate of mile an hour.
1t has already covered nine miles
and has either destroyed in part or
in whole the villages of Borello, Bel
tasso, and three others. Nocolosi,
one of the principal towns, escaped
the destruction through the fact
that it was shut in by the hills.
The lava, however, surrounds the
hills and most of the inhabitants
have fled.
Eighteen craters are pouring out
their columns of sulphurous vapors,
stones, cinders and lava. The farms
have been destroyed and the entire
section impoverished.
Government engineers tried in vain
TO divert the course Of the lava
streams by building dams, but they
swept the dams away.
Many of the earthquake survivors
tried to check the lava by their pray
of Messina are living here, and they
tried check the lava by their pray
ers, and by placing images at the bot
ON of the foot hills, but had to flee
for their lives.

forced upon the House organization by
the combined Democratic-Insurgent
vote.
Those chosen were:
Champ Clark, of Missouri
Oscar Underwood, of Alabama.
Lincoln Dixon, of Indiana.
John ]. Fitzgerald, of New York.
1t had been conceded for several
days that these four men would be
selected, and the caucus merely rati-
fled the choice of four-fifths of the
Democrats.
To Messrs. Clark, Underwood and
Dixon there was practically no oppo-
sition. The action of Representative
Fitzgerald in joining in with the Cam
ION forces last winter had embittered
some of the Democrats against him,
but it was agreed by the leaders that
il would make for better harmony
in the party to retain Mr.. Fitzgerald
en- the Rules Committee, and this view
was accepted, Mr.. Fitzgerald polling

JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFFS.
Not Willing that the Golden
Sunlight of Truth Should
Shine on Contract.

Judgment for plaintiff for S144 vas
rendered by Judge T. F. Birkhead last
week in the suit of j. H. Williams
and B. S. Chamberlain VS.. c. D. Lor-
thorp. The petition in this case
sought to recover of defendant the
sum of $144, this being the amount
that plaintiff paid to defendant, as a
balance due Eem for the right to
sell window sash locks in the coun-
ty of Crittenden, Ky. The opinion of
the Court in rendering the above
judgment was a SALTY" arraignment
Of the methods of the defendant in
concentrating the sales which were
made in Hartford about two years
ago. Among other things the Court
says:
when the evidence in this case is
considered in connection with the
price that plaintiffs agreed to pay for
the right to sell this window sash
lock (the price being s2SS.00 that the
plaintiffs paid) one year in Critten-
den county, and the joint right to
sell in a few other counties, it leaves
the impression on this Courts mind
that the defendant was not willing
that the golden sunlight of truth
should shine on this contract, and
that the defendant was dealing with
plaintiffs at arms length. On the
contrary it appeared in the evidence
that some of the parties who were
induced TO make similar contracts to
the one made by the plaintiffs herte
were enjoined to keep the matter Sc
cret for a few days. The whole pur-
pose seemed to be to make as many
sales Of the sash locks under SINH
lar contracts to that made to the
plaintiffs as they possibly could with
in a certain length of TINE and then
to move out If the county. This
Courts mind is fully satisfied that
there WAS deceit and fraud practic-
ed on the plaintiffs by the defendant;
that it was deliberate, and after due
consultation among the parties con-
cerned with it, and the value of The
sash lock for the purpose for which
it was sold, was insignificant COM
paratively nothing"

APPROPRIATIONS
Sliced Down by Governor
Allows Nearly Half a Mil
lion to be Paid.

A total of $46S,97O of the appropria-
lions ade by the GeneralAssembly at
its recent session, will be paid by THE
State. Gov. Wilson approved, or al
lowed to become a law, bills appro-
priating that much money. Of this he
allwed to become a law without his
signature. a total of $274,792.57. Ad-
ding this amount of appropriations al
lowed TO the deficit of $1,133, $50,
which already exists, leaves, the Gov.
ernoT says, a deficit of $1,497 ,070.39.
The appropriations made and allowed
by the Governor would require an in
crease in the tax rate of 6 cents If the
amount is paid. He says some of this
can be made up by reducing expenses.
The Governor killed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 to each of the normal
schools and 100000 to the State I'm
iversity, and the bill allowing $685.
900 to the State Fair. He also vetoed
the bill appropriating $4,000 for a
tuberculosis sanitarium. He vetoed n
part OF the appropriation for the
School for the Deaf, at Danville, al
lowing that school about $4,000 The
bill for the School for the Blind was
disapproved in part, the total allow
ed that school being $4,000, when
the bill provided for $4,000.

also on hand. This was a preliminary
inspection prior to the regular Gov
eminent inspection, which will occur
the goth Of April next and which will
prepare cur boys for entrance into

WHERE TO LOOK
FOR THE COMET
Is Now Visible to the Ma
ked Eye.
NO DANGER FROM ITS VISIT
Position Low Down in South
ern HeaVenS-At Its Ze-
NTH on May 18th.

Halley's comet is now approaching
rapidly, according to Washington
scientists, and with favorable me-
neurological conditions can be seen
with the naked eye. 1t will be visible
all through April and will be at its
brightest in May, attaining its max
imum brilliancy ON May is.
Those who desire to have look at
the comet may do so by taking up a
position, directly it becomes dark, fac
ing due south. Find out Sirius, the
"dog STAR" low down on the horizon
on yoaF lefs-haild e:des-. Take 2 per-
pendicular line from this till you
come to the constellation of Gemi-
nj, or 1.-The Twins" one above the
other. Midway between these the
comet passed in October last, go
ing to the right, on through the con-
stellation of Taurus, to the two plan
cts Mars and Saturn, both high up
in tile southwest. Planets do not
twinkle, and, moreover, Mars is pos
sessed of a distinct reddish tinge.
The comets path lay between these
two last month, and the comet itself
will be found some little distance to
the right. An easier way probably
to find Mars and Saturn will be to
take q line to the right from the
top star of the Gemini at IN angle
of about fifteen degrees, till you come
to five little stars, all clustered to-
gether. These are the Pleides. Con-
tinue the line at an equal distance
and you will find the planets in ques-
ton. Tlse above position Of the
stars refers to the time directly it
becomes quite dark. If viewed, say,
TWO hours later, all the stars will
have moved to the right and Mars
and Saturn will be found sinking in
the West
There need be no worry as 70 pos
sibilities of asphyXiation should the
tail sweep the earth. 1t has hap
pened several times before with 9TH
er comets, but no one was the wiser
till after the occurrence. 1t must be
borne in mind that all gases, no mat
ter what their respective weights may
be, have the power of diffusion, or
Of mixing up with one another, and
VIXEN one thinks of the immense dis
lance the tail has to traverse before
reaching us it will readily IL under
stood that any gases composing 1t
will be so attenuated as to lie utterly
imperceptible.
Ii VII lie perfectly safe to say, how
ever, that there is no likelihood what
ever of even the fag-end of the tail
] eachirg the eath's surface. There
are 10 authentic records with regard
Halley's comet of its ever having done
so, and since its last two appearance
tended to show that its tail was d.
50 much the more remote
will the chance be Of its reaching Us
this time.

SINGING WORDS
OF DR.. BRUNER
Accuses Governor of Per-
sOnal Malice
IN vETOING THE BANK BILL
Scathlng Arrangement of
Chief Executive by Sec
rotary of State.

Frankfort, KY, March 26.-In a
singing indictment Of Gov. Wilson's
action in vetoing the bank examiners
bill. Secretary of State Ben l.. Bruner
tonight gave out 5000 word state
ment, which calls a spade spade.
He does not hesitate to acuse the
Governor of using his veto power, to
further personal malice, and claims
that In turning down this bill the
Governor acted with the advice OF
a few men against the wishes OF hun
dreds of State bankers.
- Dr. -Bruner seathiagly -arraigns the
Governor for alleged failure to con-
suit with party leaders over the
course to be pursued with respect
to this bill, which If enacted into
law, would have given the appoint
ment of six bank examiners to the
Secretary of State, under the super
vision of the Court of Appeals.
On the face of this Statement 1t Is
not only a personal thrust at the
Governor, but it is taken as an at
tempt by a leading Republican to re-
pudiate the action of the Governor in
vetoing the banking bill, and thus as
an effort to anticipate and to fore
Btall any chance that the Democrats
hight make campaign material out OF
fba vato of this hill
Friction on tho administration
square has been apparent for a long
time, but it has developed into in
tensity following the implied charge
in the Governors veto of the bank
bill. that it would enable DR.. Bruner
to build up a political machine. Dr.
Bruner now has come back with
defiance of the Governor, in which
there is blend Of verbal vitriol
and rhetorical capsicum calculated
to set THE grass on Capitol Hill on
fire

BOY UNDER ARREST TELLS
POLICE BURGLARY PLANS
Admits Forming Scheme to Rob
Hardware Establishment

AS q result of confession made by
a 13-year-old lad who refused to be-
come a burglar, Frank Mitas, aged IA,
living with his parents on Boyle ave-
nue. near san Pedro street, was taken
into custody last night by Detectives
Ziegler and Ingram, who charge him
with being the leader Of a gang of
boys who made several attempts to
burglarize the Western Hardware and
Arms company. He confessed to have
planned burglary.
The detectives are Withholding the
name of the boy who gave out the in
formation which led to the arrest OF
Frank Mitas. The lad informed his
employer that Mitas and two other
boys had requested him to chip in"
some small change so that they could
purchase a steel saw and other bur-
glar tools.
The trio informed the lad that they
had made futile attempt to gain
access to the store of the Western
Hardware and Arms company three
weeks ago, but were unable to open
the skylight through the lack of proper
tools. Last Sunday night they again
attempted to gain entrance through the
skylight, but were frightened away
when a night Waterman heard them on
the roof The band then decided that
they needed another pal so they APP
preached the boy and endeavored to
persuade him to join them.
Mitas confessed to planning the
burglary and regards himself as a hero

until further investigation is made by
the officers. The police will petition
fudge Wilbur to adjudge the young
prisoner a delinquent.

B|XBY ATTEMPTS
NEW EXPLANATION
Chairman of Highway Commits
sion Tells Supervisors About
Demand for an Inquiry
CRITICISM OF COMMITTEE
Reply Does Not Cast Light on the
Reason for Officials Par
tisan Alignment
CRITICISM OF COMMITTEE

George H. Bixby, as chairman of the
Los Angeles highway commission, ap-
peared before the county supervisors
yesterday and submitted a statement
in which he attempted to explain what
he had previously explained IN
communication to the investigation
committee.
Mr.. Bixby, in his previous letter to
the committee, made the following
surprising admissions:
1T accepted reappointment on the
commission and was chosen chairman.
1 freely admit that this action in
volved me at once in partisan align
ment with the faction of my party
represented by the majority Of mem
bers of the board and opposed by the
so-called Lincoln Roosevelt or reform
faction"
Again, further on, he said:
80 I saw nothing particularly ter
rifying and took 1t under q pledge OF
division of partisan spoils-hardly, nor
could l believe that my colleagues did,
now that I know them SO we'll"
Again, in a reference to Captain
Manning, he said:
belong to that clique or faction in the
board which we aligned ourselves with
when we took office"
LETTER TO SUPERVISORS
Mr.. Bixby in his communication to
the supervisors yesterday admits the
first paragraph, quoted above, but de-
clares that the sentence, $50 I saw
nothing particularly terrifying" ETC.,
was intended to mean that there was
no IDEAL" involved in his appointment.
Mr.. Bixby severely criticises the adj
visory committee for making public
its reply to his communication, and
says lit acted in questionable taste,
to say the least" He adds that "the
investigation committee has been i'm
posed on" because the advisory COM
mittee has dared to demand that the
inquiry be conducted openly and
above-board, and has requested that
the fullest publicity be given to the
facts involved in the highway scandal.
Mr.. Bixby did not explain why he
accepted partisan alignment with
"Tus" Eldridge Nellis and McCabe.
Mr.. Bixby's reply would indicate that
Mr.. Bixby said about everything the
advisory committee says he said, only
explaining that some of the things
he said he did not intend to say, and
others he did not mean to say, al
though he said them.
