Rome.-The toll Of death from
Italy's earthquake disaster was
swelled by thousands with the receipt
by Premier Salandra of reports from
towns which had not been heard from
before.
Startling evidence of the magnitude
Of the disaster wrought in Sora was
revealed when the ~rescuers uncovered
ZOO bodies in only a small section of
The town.
The deaths here will number 1000.
RccUrrent tremors RACED the few re
naming walls as the workers bur
rowed in the debris. Many soldiers
were reported injured and some killed
outright. Since Wednesday 1874 shocks
have been recorded.
Avezzano's death list is placed at
10000.
More than G,OOO deaths we're added
to the total by reports from the fol
lowing towns:
Collarmele. where LOO are reported
dead; Ortucchio. with 2.400; Balsor-
ano, 1000; Morino. 1000; Colelongo,
500; Caniworona, 100. and Iizegna, 20.
The total number of deaths reported
from official and private sources to
date exceeds 10000, but Premier Sa-
landra states that many of these re-
ports obviously are exaggerated.
In any of the towns the wounded
are dying from exposure and hunger.
The Messaggero and other Rome
newspapers complain of the lack of or
gnrization in the relief work, which is
caid to have led to delay in rescuing
victims. There is also an insufficiency
Of supplies, particularly in the remote
districts.
This situation Is deplored even by
tie King. who expressed his sorrowful
surprise that persons who might have
been saved by prompt work have per
ish6d in the ruins, while many who
were rescued have been suffering for
seventy wo hours from cold, hunger
aad thirst.
Trains loaded with dead and wound
ed, Hooked on the way to Rome by
the terrible congestion of rail traffic.
intense cold. famine and food peril in
districts where canals have been
damned, added fresh and untold hor-
rors through the earthquake districts.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Jan. 1s.-Eighteen towns
and villages have been destroyed by
the earthquake. thirteen others left
with scarcely a building standing, and
twelve more have suffered lesser
damage. the Lloyd's News announces
in a dispatch from its Rome corre-
spondent. Survivors are suffering Sc
sevely, the correspondent says, and in
many places t~hirty-six hours elapsed
before the first relief corps arrived.
The vast Abruzzi region is almost
devoid of hospitals, the dispatch con-
hnues, and the people still are terror
lied by almost %incessant earth ire
mors. N~inety-eight OF these shocks
are said to have been counted in TWEEN

Italian government has announced

IOWA WESLEYAN IS
NOT TO BE MOVED
Mt. Pleasant Is Certain That Merger
Will Not Be Completed for
Present.

MT. PLEASANT, Ia, Dec. 9.-All
chances OF a merger Of Iowa Wes-
leyan college and Parsons college at
Fairfield are abandoned, and it is
now probable that Iowa Wesleyan
will remain here and that there will
be no merger with another school
The committee Of five to determine
the fate of the local school met this
morning and voted to retain the col
lege at Mt. Pleasant, unmerged with
another institution, if certain condi-
lions are met.
Chief among these conditions is the
raising Of the productiveSfund Of the
college endowment to $250,000 OF
this sum Mt. Pleasant and Henry
county will be expected to contribute
100000. This latter sum will be re-
turned if, in the future, the college
is moved elsewhere.
The college proposes to begin at
once a campaign to raise $4,000 out
side Of Henry county. All negotia-
lions for removal of the college will
be called off, pending the success or
failure Of the movement to increase
the college endowment.
II the present plan fails, an effort
probably will be made to merge the
college with Cornell or Simpson, 9th
er Methodist institutions of the state.
Wesleyan is the oldest college in
the state, having been founded seven
ty-three years ago.
