strain. The furry, which was over

The presidents order for an investi-
CATION for any possible combinations to
boost wheat was not known here until
after trading hours.
The suddenness in the break of wheat
was explained in a measure also by the
fact that an unusual number of recent
buyers had sought to protect their
trades by orders to sell out ond stop
losses if there should happen to be a
decline of ! u cents to 21s cents. 1t
was the pressurer of these orders that
soon after the opening overwhelmed
the market and kept prices pluning
down without halt to $40 or May
delivery.
Corn gave way with the wheat but
showed an unexpected relative strength
especially as big purchases by cash
houses were being hedged in the pit.

ONLY OUTER SHELLS REMAIN
Of S0RA'S SPLENDID HOMES

inhabitants of Sora have been proud
of their fine houses and wide streets
and have called their town Little
Rome OF these handsome buildings,
nothing now remains but the outside
walls Under the masses of shattered
masonry within, it is estimated from
$50 to 500 victims lie buried. The
condition of the walls still standing
makes the work of rescue most diff
tremors still brings down masses of
masondy.
Nevertheless the fact that so mnny
walls are stiil standing, gives rise to
the hope that many persons may still
be alive, sheltered in cellars or open
spaces. Their rescue will be slow.
since the only help available is the
Third Regiment of Carabners whose
duty is also to maintain order among
the survivors, who are wandering
aimlessly about without shelter.
The ruins of the Rossi mansion, one
Of the finest houses in Sora, are be.
lieved to contain forty persons. The
hope is entertained that many of
them are still alive in the cellars un.
derneath the house. In one ruined
house, father had located his ten
year-old son, still alive, in an aper-
ture of masonry which both i'm
prisoned and protected him. Only his
legs remained to be freed and the
father was working frantically to this
end when a fresh earthquake crumbl-
ed more of the walls and again buried
his child. The boys voice could still
be heard, however, and the fathe:
worked assiduously for hours. Fin
ally he lifted the boy, still alive, from
his prison.
A ghastly sight near Sora is the
cemetery. Here the earth seems tc
have been burst open in straight, re-
gular crevices from which come

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The presi-
dent sent the following message of
sympathy to King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy.
Il am greatly shocked at the news of
the terrible calamity which has fallen
upon Italy and her people l beg to
assure your majesty of my own sin
cere sympathy and that of the govern
ment and people of the United States
in this moment of widespread suffering
and national grief"
During the day General George Dav-
is, chairman of the central committee
of the American Red Cross, discussed

president of the Red Cross. the situa-
ton in Italy, and plans for extending
relief. Ambassador Page at Rome
cabled the state department, however.
that the Italian government would ac-
cept no proffers of aid from foreign
governments and it was decided to
postpone for time the issuance by the
president of proclamation calling
upon Americans for financial aid for
the stricken people of Italy.
The Red Cross headquarters an
nounced that many liberal money con-
tributions for relief work in Italy had
already been received and others would
be welcomed to be forwarded informal

Tucson Switching Charge
To Be Abolished at Once

The complaint of the Tucson ship
pers, which asks for a refund Of all
charges collected for the last seven
years, is not withdrawn. The case.
however, is similar to the Los An
geles and Reno cases in which the
interstate commission decided that
railroads could make no charges and
which were taken to the supreme
court on appeal. By its decision
rendered last August. the supreme
court sustained the commissions rul-
ing. and the question of refund is
now pending.
1t is expected that the interstate
commerce commission will order the
refund Of all charges made since its
decision over two years ago. In
that case the Tucson shippers will
be given a similar refund on inter-
state shipments. and in addition will
ask the corporation commission for
all payments for switching intra :
state shipments made during the last
seven years.

BILL DEFINES

Senate Prepares to Fight

mcnt Curbing It's Power
to Veto Peoples Meas
ures-Pension Laws Up

One of the most important, if not
the most important matter of legis-
lation which will come before the
present session was reached yester
tay morning when Senator Bacon of
ella introduced a bill. providing for
the assessment and taxation of mines,
always a serious matter Of cOnten
ton not only in this state but in
every state where mines are. The
law under which the mines We're
taxed last year and the year before
was a sort of modus vivendi, COM
promise, between the mine owned
and the tax commission, though it
was passed by the legislature without
the censent of the tax commission
Under its own terms it ceased to be
operative at the beginning Of the
present year.
This law proposed to tax the mines
on their output, computed on the av
crage price for the products in New
York city for the preceding ten years
from the figures of the Engineering
and Mining Journal or any other
standard publication giving the mar
ket reports for that period. Under
that bill every productive mine was
to be valued for purposes of taxation
at 121s per cent gross proceeds, plus
four times the net.
The reference above is only to the
price of the products and not to the
total value of them for purposes
of taxation which was to be based
on the production during the twelve
months next preceding the first of
January during the time when the
law should be in force.
The bill introduced by Senator
Bacon is a reiteration of the prin
ciple of that law. differing in YER
biage in many of the sections. and
removing from the tax commission
certain discretion allowed it under
the old law. especially in the matter
of deciding what is development
work which under the old law was
rot to be deducted from the cost of
production.
| The first two sections of the bill
are almost precisely the. same as the
corresponding sections of the old law
except in the provision making it a
perennial instead of a biennial agree
ment. The bill defines and simpli
f:es the expression. actual cost"
which figures so much in determin
! ing the net, in this wise: THE actu-
| al cost shall include all expenditures
made in connection with mining op-
erations. transportation and reduction
of ores or other mineral products

NAPLES, Jan 1.-THE condition
today of the city of Sora, once a
flourishing, prosperous community, is
a striking example of the capricious-
ness of the forces of nature, which
Wednesday morning suddenly over
whelmed the heart of Italy.
Instead of being reduced to a
shapeless mass of ruins, as AveZZano,
the state of Sora recalls the condi-
tions which obtained at Messina in
1908, when the outer shells of beau
tiful Messina palaces remained stand
ing only to hide the ruin and desc
laton within their walls.
