The Eruption of
Etna Is Increasing.

Catania. Sicily. Sept. 12--The activ-
ity OF Mt. Etna increases. Sixteen new
fissures have been opened and from
the two nearest the base of the volca-
no great stream of lava issues.
II is moving at the rate of 1850 feet
an hour and today had covered sew
eral miles in the direction of Lingua-
glossa, town in the foothills at the
northeast of Etna.
Lingpa slossa and Randazzo to the
northwest, are on elevations and are
not threatened by the flow of lava
though storms OF ashes beat upou
them. The population. however, are
paniestricken and some have desert
ed the towns.
The earth shocks continue and tn,
rumbling of the volcano fills the PEG
pie with fear and many may be seel
in the streets weeping and Offering
prayers.
The river of lava has invaded tn
centuries old forest of larch and pin
and appears about to destroy til
beautiful vineyards and nut woods.

What is believed to be the opening
of crusade of closer supervision OF
railroads with regard to violations of
the safety appliance act was the fling
of suit in the United States district

the railroad TO pay $500 in penalties for
the alleged drawing of cars with de-
feetive couplings over the road. The
suit is brought by United States Dis

Publicity For Campaign Cash.

The senate amended and passed the
bill providing for publicity of contri-
buttons to and expenditures in politi-
cai campaigns. The vote was 30 to
a. The negative votes were all cast
by Democrats from the south.
The bill in its amended form pro-
vides for publicity. not only before aud
after elections, but in the case OF pri-
mary as well as general elections. 1t
applies both to candidates for the
United States senate and nominees for
the house of representatives The bill
has been passed by the house and will
now go to conference. The present
publicity law provides only for state
ment of expenditures after elections
and does not apply to candidates for
the senate.
An amendment offered by Senator
Reed, of Missouri, aroused much in.
terest II seeks to put a limitation on
the amount OF money that every can.
didate for senator or representative
may expend and in other ways broad.
ems the scope of the bill. The Reed
amendment cnacts that the total
amount of money expended by any
candidate to influence an election
shall not exceed ten cents for each
voter. and that he shall not be permit
ted to expend sum in excess of what
is lawfully allowed by the legislature
of the state in which he is candi.
date; that a candidate for United
States senator shall not contribute any
money in aid of the election OF a
member of the legislature of his own
state. and that in no event shall a can
didate for the United States senate ex-
pend more than $4,000 or a candidate
for the house OF representatives more
than $4,000 TO influence his election.

phatic opinion of John II. Hinemon.
former superintendent Of public in

Explosion Kills Twen.y.one Miners.


Twenty-one lives we're snuffed out
by an explosion of gas In the Sykes.
vile shaft of the Cascade Coal and
Coke company. near Dubois, Pa.
Every miner In the southern portion
CT the workings persisted. Few OF the
men were killed by the explosion
itself, and from the position OF the
bodies found by rescuing parties 1t
was evident that, following the fash.
many of the men gathered up their
belongings and were endeavoring to
reach an outlet when overcome and
suflecated by the fatal after damp that
invariably follows an explosion Of q
gaseous nature.
Only one victim was mutilaied be.
yond recognition and this was Ralph
Mariana, who was identified by the
brass number check worn around his
neck. Most OF the dead men bore no
marks whatever. indicating that death
caem through suffocation.
To those on the surface the first
knowledge of the explosion came when
the safety door on the big ventilating
fan was blown open Immediately a
rescue party under the direction Of
Fire Boss John Brown descended the
l5O.foot shaft TO investigate.

PopuINIon cen.er Moving West.

The center of population OF the
United States is four and one.quarter
miles south of Unionville. Monroe
county. Indiana. according to census
bureau announcement.
Since 1900. when IL was six miles
southeast of Columbus. Ind, 1t has
moved thirty-one miles westward and
seven-tenths of mile northward. The
westward movement was more than
twice that of the iS9O-1900 decade.
This acceleration of the westward
movement is attributed by census OF.
ticials principally to the growth of the
Pacific and southwestern states.
The geographical center of the
United States is In northern Kansas.
so that the center of population. there.
fore. is about $50 miles east of the
geographical center of the country.
