CHINESE LEPERS SHOT
BY PUBLIC AUTHORITY
Driven Into Pit with Kerosene
Soaked Wood, Killed and
Their Bodies Burned.

Shanghai Jan. 10.-Thirty- y-nine lcp-
ers recently were put to death in an
atrocious maner by order Of the pro-
vincial authorities of Nan Ming, Prov
ince of Kwang-Si.. The sufferers were
first shot and then their bodies were
burned in a huge trench.
These advices were received here to-
day in letters from the Catholic mis-
sion at Manning. The letters were
dated December II. They stated that
the Iepers lived in the woods "A few
miles outside of Nan Ming. The mis-
sion sought permission to build at it's
own expense a lazaretto for them. and
the provincial authorities, pretending
to consent, dug a pit in which was
placed wood soaked with Kerosene.
At the point Of the bayonet the lep-
ers then were driven into the pit ana
shot and the pyre was lighted and their
bodies burned in the presence OF a
large crowd. The authorities offered
rewards for the discovery of other lep-
ers. and this offer resulted in the
shooting of one more man afflicted
with the disease.
The Governor, after the massacre, is-
sued a proclamation I'm which he ac-
cused the lcpers Of having committed
outragcs. The letters from the mis-
sion say there is no foundation for this
charge

STREET FOR 50 FEET
DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Residents in Terror at PoSSlbll-
ity of Living on Edges
of Cave.
AUTO PARTY IN DANGER
Machine Hangs on Brink OF
Chasm-Lamp Doesn't Reach
Bottom and Running
Water Is Heard.

The possibility that residents Of West
13Sth street, between Broadway and
Riverside Drive, have been living alonG
the edges Of a gigantic underground
cave. whose extent, though uncon-
frmed by officials OF the Street and
Water departments, may reach from
near Broadway TO the North River,
was disclosed last evening to terrified
dycllers of the locality when n section
Of the street more than thirty feet
long dropped out of sight, leaving a
maze Of water pipes and electric cables
| exposed to view.
The cave-in, which shook the whole
ncighborhood, narrowly missed being
the cause of tragedy as well. DR..
and Mrs. j. Noble Emery, OF No. 1O1
West Sjth street, had just driven over
| the death trap when, with roar and
crash of broken asphalt, the street
sank almost under the wheels of their
machine.
AS It was, the rear wheels Of their
automobile hung nervously on the rim
of the craterike chasm which had
opened up behind them, and only the
quick work of their chauffeur, Victor
| Edwards, saved them from possible
death. After DR.. and Mrs. Emery had
been helped from the car Edwards
sent In n call to the West 10th street
station, and Lieutenant Ringheiser re-
sponded with a squad Of reserves.
The police took one of the automobile
lamps and peered into the hole. They
could distinguish the naked pipes far
below them, but even the powerful
light was unable to penetrate TO the
| bottom of the cave. Far below, II
seemed to them, they could hear the
sound OF running water. A quick ex-
animation showed that the street was
| little more than shell.
The automobile could not be moved,
and the police were afraid to make any
effort to rescue 1t. for fear the rest OF
the street would cave In. They ended
by roping off the whole area and in
forming the Bureau of Highways.
When the inspectors reached the. spot
they confirmed the opinion of those
who had peered into the hole. In
places they found that there were hol-
low spaces ten to fifteen feet in diam
eter. The sidewalk opposite No. 619
hung suspended In the air, and the
slightest weight would have been suf-
ficient to send 1t crashing to the bot
tom Of the hole.
One of the inspectors Of the Bureau
of Highways said the street was in a
disgraceful condition and it was Won
der the collapse had not occurred
sooner. He said the condition should
have been noticed because of the fact
that there were very many places
where the street had sagged.
