ITALY AGAIN VISITED BY DIS
ASTROUS EARTHQUAKE.

Once more calamity has laid its
heavy hand on Italy. Another earth
quake has visited that country, caus-
ing havoc in the province of Avellino.
From the cables it appears that
region of fifty miles radius was thrown
into a panic, many lives were lost, and
much suffering entailed That the disas-
ter is a grave one and is so felt by the
people and the government of Italy
Is indicated by the fact the King and
Queen, Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena, have gone to the scene.
In itself this latest seismic disturb
ance is not as great as the horrors of
Nessina, Reggie, and San Francisco.
But it is clear that, with the terrors
Of Messina and Reggie still fresh in
memory, the Italian people easily be-
come panic-stricken when the earth
trembles The superstition is rife
among many of the ignorant that the
end of the world is. at hand.
Americans as usual in such cases are
prompt 10 offer and extend aid The
American Red Cross is preparing to
be of assistance. No such suffering as
in the case Of Messina and Reggie is
to be expected, unless there are further
disturbances, but the situation Is bad
enough, so that help from this side of
the water will be of great use

PUBLICITY AS AN AID TO RE-
FORM MOVEMENTS.

Maurice NrEleman, secretary for
Governor Hughes stock exchange
commission, Is disposed to rely upon
publicity rather than upon legislation
as a cure for the evils of speculation
Legislation Is, of course, needed to
enforce publicity, but the actual rem
edy is to be found, he thinks, in tear
ing the vel from the financial mys-
teries so that the public can see for
themselves what is going on.
There Is much to be said for the
idea. How many disastrous invest
ments would be saved if the investor
were furnished with sworn statements
OF the actual condition of the enter
prise to be fo1ted, if he knew the ex-
tent Of the pa tieipation by directors,
and if prospeetuses We're subject to
expert official examination and pro-
tccted by an oath with the usual IN
comfortable penalties for perjury.
There is no reason why the Govern
ment should not sometimes intervene

PEACE IN RAILROAD WORLD
NOW ASSURED.

For some months to come there will
apparently be peace in the railroad
world and in the business world. so
far as conditions are dependent on the
railroad situation. The roads in the
Missouri river region, in the Central
Traffic Association territory, and in the
East viii not seek to enforce increases
in freight rates until those increases
have been passed upon by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Ii the railroad bill that emanates
from conference does not change the
Senate bill as to the length OF time
for which railroad rate increases can
be suspended, the Interstate Commerce
Commission viii have approximately
year in which to investigate the
necessity and justification for the pro-
posed higher rates. In the meantime
indications are that both the. shippers
and the railroad managers will be
content to await the outcome.
1t is apparent that the railroads are
assuming that because the Administra-
ton has agreed to withdraw the suit
begun in Missouri to enjoin rate in
creases and u dissolve the Western
Trunk Line Association agreement
that the Sherman law is not to be APP
piled to such agreements in the future.
But it IS stated flaJly at the White
House that any such assumption is
without warrant and that no promises
have been made tie roads not to en-
force the Sherman law. In actual
practice, however, it IS quite clear
that what Is going to happen in the
future is this: Under the new .ail-
road law the interstate Commerce
Commission viii have more power TO
deal with rate increases than it has
had before, and the deciding of what
increases in rates are justified is going
In practice to be left largely to that
body. If the railroads and the public
would be contens to leave the adiudi-
cation Of rate questions and related
matters to the Interstate Commerce
Commission entirely it would be for
tunate and would contribute greatly
10 solving a troublesome situation.

BISMARCK PREPARED
TO face R. R. STRIKE
LEAST THlRTY-FIVE OR FOR
TY DAYS.
Holiday Goods Have Nearly All Been
Received and Merchants Can Accom-
modate Trade for Some Months.

There was one question paramount
Tuesday among the business men and
wholesalers of the Capital City and
that was the threatened strike of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
which was heralded in the recent AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches.
Superintendent S. w. Derrick of the
500 line is quoted as stating that there
is now in the yards in the city enough
coal to accommodate the people for
at least thirty-fve or forty days, and
there is more coming in every day.
The merchants of theVity have near
ly all of them received the majority
of the holiday stock, and they would
be able to hold out and supply their
trade for as high as sixty days if
necessary.
The establishment of so many big
wholesale houses in the city also rem.
ders it improbable that there would
be any suffering on the part of the
public from the lack of supplies. So
the residents of the yapital City need
not be unduly alarmed at the various
rumors of evil potent as the city on
the whole seems to be very we'll pro
vided for.

Mr. CaIlow as violinist, is finished.

RYDER BOY dead
Of LUMPY JAW
PECULIAR CASE OCCURRED AT A
LOCAL HOSPITAL YEsrER-
DAY.
Deceased Used to Drive an OK About
His Fathers Farm That Had Lunpy
Jaw and Contracted Oesease.

Johnny Kraft, the f3-year-old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs.. Jacob Kraft, who re-
side on a farm a short distance from
Ryder died at a local hospital Tues
day Of actinomycosis. His father and
mother had been telegraphed for and
hurried to his bedside, but arrived too
late to see their son before he passed
away. The body was prepared for
burial at Webb Brothers undertaking
establishment and will be shipped to
ITO Ryder on the north 500 this fore
noon.
The case of young Kraft is pecui
lar one. He used to drive an OK on
his fathers farm when he helped with
the work. The animal had lumpy jaw.
No thought of transmission of the d.
|sease ever occurred to the parents.
The scientific name for this disease
is ac'iromvcosis.
Ore day last summer a small boil
appeared on the boys neck. 1t be-
came very store, and later the sore
spread until it was in horrible cOndi'
ton. He was finally brought to Bis
marck where he was taken to one of
the hospitals, and where he was pa
tent for twelve weeks or more.
Everything possible was done for
him, but all medical care proved un-
availing and he died Tuesday morning.
He was a we'll liked little fellow and
his untimely taking away was not al
together expected in the community
in which he lived, so that it came as
a kind of shok The heartfelt SYM
pathy of the community is extended to
the bereaved parents.
