MANY STILL ALIVE
IN PILES OF RUINS
THE WORK OF RESCUE GOES
BRAvELY ON IN EARTHQUAKE
STRICKEN ITALY.
Hundreds Given Up for Dead are Be.
ing Rescued Alive, While II Is
Believed Hundreds Fled In
Panic Following Shock.

Rome.-Official and semi-official re.
ports to Premier Salandra from TWEEN
ty-four towns and villages in the 300
mile belt stricken by the earthquake
of January 13 and the subsequent
tremors. which have wrought no lit
tie additional havoc, report approx
mately 27,sO0 dead.
Premier Salandra counsels conser.
vatism, declaring this number likely
will be reduced considerably. as hun.
dreds OF those buried alive and given
up for dead are being rescued and
the semi-official estimates are based
on deductions computed from the
number found alive among the total
population. These figures, he ex-
plains, are subject to revision down
ward because hundreds of the sur.
vivors fed from the devastated zone
in the first panic following the initial
shock.
Making all due allowances and TAX
ing the reliable figures at hand as a
basis, it is officially estimated that
the dead will not number more than
10000. Premier Salandra states that
this figure even may exaggerate the
total loss of life, while King Victor
Emmanuel. who has just returned
from a visit to Avezzano and Sora, ex-
pressed the belief that the casualties
would be much less than the reports
to Premier Salandra indicated.
Thirty thousand soldiers modified
against the chance of Italy entering
the international conflict are now en-
gagged as rescuers and in relief work
and the thousands of tons of equip
ment and commissary stores assem-
bled for use in that contingency have
been applied to the relief of the suf.

GERMAN ADVANCE
CHECKED BY ALLIES
RUSSIANS IN POLAND AND ALLIES
IN BELGIUM AND FRANCE
REPORT PROGRESS.
Turks in the Caucasus Have Met
With Another Disaster, the Rus
SLAMS Capturing Many Pris-
oners and Vast Stores.

The allies in Belgium and France
and the Russians in Poland are both
making progress against the opposing
forces. according to latest official
statements issued from Paris and Pet
rograd.
The Germans, who are endeavoring
to advance on Warsaw, seemingly
have been held in check, while the
Russian advance columns have
stormed and captured the important
pass of Kirlibaba, leading from Buko-
wilma into Hungary
The Turks in the Caucasus have
met with another disaster in the
neighborhood OF Kara-Urgan, advices
from Tiflis assert, the Eleventh Tur-
kish corps being routed and all its
artillery captured.
Regarding the operations in the
Caucasus an official communication
issued at Petrograd said that the Fiji
ty.second Turkish regiment had been
overwhelmed by bayonet attack and
that in the retreat OF the Turkish
troops, the Russians took more than
1000 prisoners and vast stores.
Much Of the fighting in Belgium
has been done along the region OF
Newport and Lombaertzyde, where
the French claim to have forced the
Germans to evacuate their trenches
In the great dunes. There have been
engagements also at various points
along the great line extending to
the German frontier. and in the Ar
gonne the Germans claim to have Sc
cured the advantage, although the
operations have been hampered by
heavy storms. A German official es-
innate places the losses to the allies
during the past four weeks in the
west at about 10000 men and at the
same time fixes the German losses
at less than one quarter of that mum.

WILL INVESTIGATE
CHARITY TRUST
FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL RElA.
TIoNS COMMISSION READY
TO EXAMINE WITNESSES
Noted Men Have Peen Summoned,
the Purpose Being TO Find Out
How the Public is Affected
BY Philanthropy.

New York.-Whether resources OF
approximately quarter OF billion
dollars controlled by four great philan-
throphic institutions should be en-
ployed without government regula-
ton in the promotion of enterprises
affecting public welfare, especially
that of wage earners, is one of the
questions which the federal industrial
relations commission will bring to the
front here during its forthcoming
hearings Investigations have for the
last two weeks been preparing data
upon which to base the examination
OF witnesses.
The four institutions are the Rookie
feller, Sage, Cleveland (Ohio) and
Baron de Hirsch foundations, the lat,
ter represented in this country by
Jacob III. Schiff. Their chief officers
have been summoned to testify and
will be asked, 1t was said Sunday at
the commission headquarters, to tell
what policies govern the distribution
OF their charities, their attitude to-
ward labor problems, the nature Of
their schemes for social betterment;
in sum, to disclose in detail the char.
acter Of all their activities.
Nearly fifty witnesses have been
summoned, most Of thea persons Of
national prominence.
In view OF the fact that the i'm.
mense resources of these institutions
were chiefly derived from the profits
of industrial enterprises and that they
were now employing them in many
ways affecting the conditions OF wage
earners, II was the desire of the com.
mission, 1t was explained, to deter.
mine whether their policies were IN
every respect consistent with the pub.
lie welfare. 1t was pointed out that
the institutions were under no legn
obligation to make their operations
public and that II was pertinent
question to determine whether such
immense resources were potentially
dangerous, when not subject to gov.
ernmental supervision.
In raising this question no implica.
ton was intended. 1t was explained.
1t was simply the purpose of the com.
mission to call attention, without pre-.
JUDGE. to the power which these in.
stitutions were in a position to exer.
else, rightfully or wrongfully, cape.
cially in shaping public opinion.

DESPITE the fact that the big heavy

The car was going at a slow speed
when il went through the side OF
the railing and turned completely
over. landing bottom side up. The
ditch at that point is but a few feet
wide. The front of the machine land

spanning it, and forming an arch over
the occupants of the car. The space
between the car and the bottom OF the
ditch. which had few inches OF wa

occupants from being pinned under
meath and perhaps crushed to death.
A large crowd quickly assembled,
but the occupants were able to extrl'
