ity.
Seven hundred bodies of earthquake
victims have been recovered at Sora
and the work in the ruins has covered
only a small section of the town.

Down far as the Piazza Torliana there
was not single house standing on
either side of what had been the
towns main thoroughfare.
"In many places the debris was
seven and eight feet high, SO that no
person could have lived in the street
even if they succeeded in escaping
from their homes.
"The same was true of every other
street in the unfortunate town. Avez-
zano is town of the dead, not of the
living. Under the wreckage lies prac-
tically the entire population of the i'll
fated town with the exception of the
few who have been dug out by sold
iers."
Among six hundred earthquake ref

from Avezzano were Count Filippo
Resta, Countess Resta and three young

the finest in AvezZano.

AUTO DRIVE THROUGH WATER
 WORKS PARK IS SUGGESTED.

There isn't finer view in all the Ozark mountains than that to be ob- tained from the ridge upon the crest of which is located the waterWorkS reservoir in Pulaski Heights, where the Water Company has an eighty-acre park.
 It is here that thousands of chill dren come in the spring to gather vio- lets and wild flowers. The Water Company has shown it's pride in the natural beauty of the place by cutting out the underbrush and encouraging the growth of grass and flowers.
 Now it would be splendid thing if the winding roadway leading from Prospect avenue up to the reservoir could be converted into an automobile driveway that would permit the hun dreds of pleasure parties that come to the Heights on summer days to drive through this beautiful woodland, circle the reservoir and pass out over one of the newly-paved streets to the westward.
 No one ever visited this spot that was not inspired by the magnificent yiew-the river and Fit. Logan IT.. Roots on one side, and the city of Lit He Rock with it's circling hills on the other

of boys and girls under 16 years in the
Sunday schools and public and private
schools of the city and vicinity. and has
already spread to eight other States The

GIRL HELD FOR PLOT
TO MULCT M'CARRICK
Faulty Typewriter Clue to Pair
That Posed as Kidnapper Of
Drowned Boy.

A letter demanding $500 from James
McCarrck, of GIG South 18th street, al
the time a nationwide search was being
conducted for his young son, Warren,
has been traced, after more than a years
detective work, to Edward Dolan and
his sister, Anna L. Dolan, of Pittsburgh,
according to the Federal authorities, who
declared that the man and woman have
sent nearly n hundred blackmail letters
TO various persons in the last two years.
1t was believed for time that Mr..
McCarricks son, Warren, had been kid
mapped. His body was found eventually
in the Delaware River, the child probably
having fallen into a sewer inlet. The body
had been washed into the river in the
course of time. The letter to Mr. McCar-
rick demanding $500 said:
I'VE will kill him and send you his hair
and clothes. Dead boys tell no tales"
Three defective typewriter keys fur
nished the clue to Dolan and his sister.
The scores of threatening letters that
came into the postofflce inspectors hands
evidently had been written on the same
typewriter. Many had been mailed from
Coraopolis, near Pittsburgh. Nearly every
typewriter in that part of the county was
examined, and ii was finally found that
the machine of Miss Dolan, a stenogra-
pher had the three defective letters
She and her brother were arrested yes

Grand Jury in Pittsburgh, the man in

TEETH" ABSENT FROM
NEW HOUSING BILL
IN COPIES SENT HERE
Nine Pages, Containing
Most Essential Features,
Missing and Commission
and Sociological Workers
Mystified.

Housing authorities and other sociolog-
! ical workers in this city were badly mys-
tilted today by finding that copies Of the
compromise housing ball. just passed by
the Legislature, are nine pages short. The
missing pages. from No. 16 TO 25, contain
the teeth" Of the new bill.
Copies of the bill were received in this
city today at the rooms of the Philadel-
phia Housing Commission, In the Empire
Building, and by others interested In
housing reform II was then discovered
that copies sent to this city from Harris
burg had nine pages missing.
A study of drafts of the bill brought
to light the fact that the nine pages con-
tain what are considered the most es-
sential point of the new bill. Included in
these are the provision giving the city
power to force tenants to move from in
sanitary houses that prohibit owners from
keeping livestock or poultry in dwellings
and that forbdding the use of dwellings
for sweat shops or factories of any
description.
Bernard j. Newman, secretary Of the
Philadelphia Housing Commission, Is in
cllned to believe the missing nine pages
are due to an error in the State Print
ing Department. Nevertheless, he and
other officials of the Housing Commission
will investigate 1t was pointed out that,
as the Legislature has adjourned, Phlla-
delpha will be without an adequate meas
ure If the bill was passed with tho nine
pages missing and signed by the Gov
ernor in thta condition. Mr.. Newman
said:
II do not know what It means, but
undoubtedly II is due to a mistake in
the printing department at Harrisburg.
We will look into the matter. however,
and call it to the attention of the proper
authorities.
The failure of City Councils to force
owners of dwellings to obey the law was
brought to the attention of representa-
tives from 80 charitable and social well
fare institutions yesterday at the an

Ing Commission. The meeting was held
at the headquarters OF the Ethical Gull
ture Society, 1924 Spruce street
