pionship.
By far tho best scoring of the day was
done by Miss Margaret Curtis, but with
ali OF it she met the paradoXical fate OF
being beaten on the 18th hole by Mrs
Ronald H. Barlow, the Philadelphia
champion. In 1912 at Essex County, Miss
Curtis home club, Mrs. Barlow had to
be content with the position of runner
up for the title to Miss Curtis so that
the Philadelphia success of today is in
the nature of settling all old score.
Miss Curtis played finely as shown by
the fact that she had an So, within
stroke of the course record of Miss Hyde
made last year. Even so, Mrs. Barlow
had an s.. The latter was as wild as
hawk on the first two holes. and lost
them both, but she pulled herself to-
gether enough to level the match on the
fourth. She then took the aggressive by
winning the Sth and 9th by means of
par ; and !, reaching the turn UP.
After tho tenth, Miss curtis played
championship golf. She not only squared
the match. but became one up at the 18th,
but Cailed to keep pace with Mrs. Barlow

WINTER WHEAT CROP
ONE-FIFTH AGAIN AS GREAT AS
RECORD SET LAST YEAR.
$50, 000, 900 Bushels Is Estimate Sc.
Now From Present Prospects
Other Grains Estimated.

Washington, May 9,-The greatest
crop Of winter wheat ever grown, one
fifth again as large as the record crop
grown last year and more than half
again as large as that harvested in
1912, is indicated by statistics n
nounced by the department of agricul-
ture.
In all $50, 200, 900 bushels will be
produced if the highly favorable con-
ditions existing since the crop was
planted last fall continue until har-
vest time. The acreage abandoned
through u~nfavorable conditions of the
winter amounted to only 81 per CEN
of the area planted, an unusually low
area. This makes the area remaining
to be harvested a record one of 49,
3S7,00 acres.
Indications are that Kansas will
have a crop of 1872, 00O, 900 bushels or
As, SOC, 900 bushels more thar last year
and Oklahoma 81 $500, 900 or II, 200, 900

CONGRESS TO ACCOUNTABILITY
BOTH BODIES BENDING ENERGIES
IN THIS DIRECTION.
Formal Call for Democratic Caucus
Issued in House-Senate Meets
Hour Earlier Daily.

Washington, May 11.-Plans for an
early adjournment of congress took
more definite shape when the senate
advanced it's meeting hour from noon
to IL o'clock and house leaders issued
a formal call for a Democratic caucus
Tuesday night, when a legislative
program will be laid out which will
include adjournment as a feature. If
the senate holds to the IL o'clock
meeting hour and insists upon a few
night sessions leaders believe that the
hope OF adjournment on July 10 may
be realized. Majority Leader Under
wood has no doubt that the house can
finish its business before that date.
The house caucus Tuesday will con-
slider a resolution announcing it to be
the of the party that the anti
trust, interstate trade commission and
railway capitalization bills, the rural
credits measures and the appropria-
ton bills should be passed and the
house then adjourn. 1t is o expected
that there will be any opposition to it's
adoption. The senate changed its
meeting hour in order that it might
hasten passage of the agricultural bill.
This bill has dragged along for more
than a week with little progress and
several senators are anxious that it
be disposed of before other ]appropria-
ton bills are reported.
There was one cloud on the adjourn
ment horizon VIXEN talk was renewed
of an attempt to reach a vote at the
present session on the proposed con-
stitutional amendment for nationwide
prohibition. The resolution proposing
the prohibition amendment will be
taken up in the house under a special
rule to be brought in within a week,
so that action may be taken promptly.
There is little likelihood that the
amendment will be taken up in the
Tuesday caucus, but there is no in
tention on the part of the house lead
ers to stife it. Its passage requires
a two-thirds vote and leaders expect
the fight to be close.
No matter what the house does at
this session with the prohibition reso.
luton the senate has its hands so full
of other subjects that it is MOI be.
lieved it will be taken up there for
the present.

SCORES KILLED IN
ETNA EARTHQUAKE
1873 KNOWN DEATHS AND MANY
HUNDREDS INJURED
IN SICILY.
PROPERTY LOSS ENORMOUS
Refugees Declare Catastrophe Is AS
Bad AS Messina Disaster
Figures May Be Greatly
Increased.

Catania, May IL. - An earthquake
and volcanic eruption, followed by fire,
destroyed many villages on the slopes
of Mount Etna. The disaster caused
the death of at least 1875 persons. The
number of injured is placed at 283.
These figures probably will be greatly
increased. Refugees declare that the
property loss is as great as in the Mes
sina disaster of 1908.
Devastation Is General.
Railroad tracks were TORN up,
churches razed, houses shaken to ruin
and telegraph poles overturned owe
a radius of several miles around Cat
ania. Terror-striken people rushed
from the village into Catania, bring.
ing stories of ruin and disaster. Their
reports caused the authorities to take
immediate steps to start measures of
relief. The army, the navy and the
civilian authorities received orders
from Rome to render aid in the work
of rescue. The aid of the Red Cross
quickly was enlisted.
Interruption of railroad and tele-
graphs made it impossible to obtain
any accurate details as to loss of life.
Shocks Felt For Days.
For several days past earthquake
shocks had been felt at frequent inter,
walls, accompanied by eruptions OF
Mount Etna. No particular attention
however, vas paid to the occurrences
as the inhabitants of the district are
accustomed to these agitations and the
shocks were not exceptionally violent
The center OF the present terrible
disturbance was at the village OF
Linera. Here the proportion of deaG
and injured was very heavy. The vic
Tins mostly were women and children
The property loss at Linera also wa.
extremely heavy. The work Of rescue
was rendered difficult by the accumu
lation of debris.
Fire Adds Horrors.
According to the refugees fire il
some places completed the work of de
struction and hindered the work O
rescuers.
Soldiers, firemen, sailors, priests an,
private individuals worked togethe
in bringing succor. In many case
they found their way INSTRUCTED b.
broken bridges and ruined roads. Ii
the village streets huge heaps O
debris lay everywhere.

position to negotiations the govern
ment agreed to hasten the final stages
