other dairy products.
The request for epidemic damages
recites that the federal government
allowed cattle to be shipped to the
Chicago national dairy show after 1t
was known that cattle already there
were suffering from the disease. All
other cattle breeding associations in
this country and the state have been
asked to support the move.

AVEZZANO CITY OF DEAD
Practically Wiped or Map by the
Quake-Eleven Thousand Be
Iieved Buried in Ruins.
BY CHAPMAN COLEMAN.
~. S. Consul General at Rome.

Rome, Jan. 17.-Pompeii is no long
er the worlds city of the dead. Some
where in the ruins OF Avezzano, where
three days ago there were $4,000 per-
sons, the majority Of them workers
in the six big sugar refineries which
made the district prosperous, lie the
bodies OF more than 1000 persons.
1t is difficult to convey an idea Of
the absolute destruction OF Avezzano.
Not more than half a dozen structures
are standing. and of these only the
walls remain
Only Few Escape.
Debris tossed in all directions, has
obliterated streets, plazas, and alleys.
SO that the few inhabitants who es-
capped death. even though many OF
them were born and brought up In the
town, are unable to pick out more than
the approximate sites OF their own
homes.
Stretching away on all sides from
the acres upon acres Of ruin, the coun-
try Is as bare OF human inhabitants
as wilderness. The landscape is
whitened in places by patches OF shat
tered stone and brick, but these are
all that remain OF splendid country
estates and farms.
Six Villages Wiped Out.
Six district villages in the environs
were wiped out by the same stroke
which leveled Avezzano, and the toll
of life In these towns was proportion
ately severe.
Probably not less than $4,000 per
sons were killed and injured in this
one district.
The disaster, reports here indicate
extended from Rome as far north az
Ancona, Florence. The Gulf OF Saler
no felt the shock.

MARRIAGES SHOW
DECREASE IN 1914
REPORTS INDICATE THAT STATE
is HARD HIT BY THE
EUGENlC LAW.
MANY MARRY OUT Of STATE
The Effect of the Law Has Been So
Plain That a Resolution Has
Been Adopted to Have 1t
Repealed.

Madison.-Since several members or
the legislature announced their inten-
ton of introducing bills repeating the
eugenic marriage law several investi-
gators have been busy looking up sta
tistics on this subject.
With one exception all reports thus
far received show a big loss in the
number of marriages performed In the
state in 1914. They have also proved
that never before have there been as
many common law marriage contracts
filed with county clerks as during the
last year.
Some investigators have even gone
80 far as to inquire into the number of
marriages performed for Wisconsin
couples across the states borders, and
claim to have figures that will prove
astounding. They do not claim there
has been a willful violation Of the law,
but suggest rather that many couples
have started on their honeymoon and
did not marry until after crossing the
state line, One specific case cited was
in La Crosse county, where there was
a big decrease in marriages, while In
Winona county, Mimi, there was a
marked gain.
A few figures received by the regis
tar of vital statistics in the Office OF
the state board OF health are available
and show that. with the exception of
Lincoln county there was great de-
crease In the number Of marriage H.
censes issued the first year the eugen-
les law was in effect The year previ-
Gus to its adoption there was gain in
marriages.
The effect of the law on weddings
has been so plain that resolution was
adopted by the board Of supervisors of
Marathon county memorializing the
state legislature to repeal the law, as
did the Winnebago county board. 9th
er boards and societies and organiza-
tons have joined in this attempt to
obtain the repeal Of this law.
