Between 200 and 300 internal rev.
senue officers, of the United States will

Refusal to call physician for his
six-year-old son, who, being burned
from his waist to his head, was al
lowed. to writhe in agony for "a
hours without medical attention, was
the charge upon which Thomas J.
Dooley was held to answer to the
Oakland, CAL, court today. If con-
victed the alleged inhuman father

Representatives of eight jewelers.
societies of the United States and
Canada met in New York today to
devise plans for the better protection
of those engaged in selling jewelry
and precious stones. The jewellers
have been aroused to action by the
unprecedented number of assaults
and robberies reported by the trade
during the past year. It is expected
a large reward will be offered for the
capture of the murderers of Adolph
Stern, the clerk who was killed in
the daylight raid on a Sixth Avenue
jewelry store some months ago.
'Bob" Fowler, en- route from San
Francisco to New York, met with the
first mishap of his pioneer cross
country aerial trip at Alta, CAL,
when in trying to make landing,
necessitated by retroactive engine
and steering gear, his biplane collid-
ed with two trees, hurting it to the
ground and slightly injuring him.
Both planes of the craft and it's two
propellers were, broken and Fowler
will be delayed here for at least two
days, before he can resume his jour-
ney. Before leaving Auburn Fowler
had his first trouble with his engine
when the wire of the magnetic circuit
pulled out. The wire was repaired
but it is believed that it was this de-
feet which caused the later trouble.
F!eavy smoke lies now over the
crest of Mount Etna at Calania, ST.
ely, and the bombardment, which is
continuous along line nearly two
miles in extent is like the firing of
heavy artillery. A torrent of burn
ing lava estimated at 1000 feet wide
and four feet deep is pouring down
the slope. Everything in it's way has
been carried before it.. Groves of
trees have been up-rooted and set on
Ere and the lava stream is sweeping
through the fields, sending out for
miles around hot resinous waves of
smoke. Peasants have left their
homes carrying with them the aged,
sick and children and whatever be-
!longings they were able to get; Whole
egions are covered with hardened
lava for the past eruptiOns have been
torn open by frequent earth shocks.
Many of the shocks have been OF
great violence and the peasants fear
a repetition of the Messina Disaster
