Rome, Monday, June 3O.-Military
auto trucks and Red Cross ambulances
have gone to the earthquake zone near
Florence. The city council of Rome
has also sent a detachment from the
fire department to the scene of the dis
aster. Reports state that more bodies
have been taken from the ruins but
the total number of casualties has not
as yet been established
Scores of persons were dead and
hundreds injured. With the resump-
ton of communication, it was expected
the casualty list would increase. A
number of villages were razed and at
least twenty were partially in ruins.
Forty Dead at Vicchio.
Forty persons were dead at Vicchio,
which was almost wiped out. Mira

felt. was among the cities reporting
casualties.
Recall Messina Earthquake.
Only meager news was being re-

recalled that in the Messina earth

the disaster revealed itself.

Morning Grain Gossip.
FURNISHED by the Topeka Board Of Trade

Chicago. ILL.,. July 1.-The Tribune
GRAIN The grain situation as sized up
by a leading operator last night is
Corn is high, rye looks cheap, and oats
are in debatable grounds. The corn sit
uation is bullish when taken by itself and
shorts in July and September may have
a hard time getting in unless restrictions
are removed anG the bears are given full
swing TO sell without limit as they did
last January when prices broke over 20
cents in less than that many days, but
they have been up 10 cents from the low
point for futures Fince. The bull point
in corn is that country stocks are light
and corn is expected to be scarce at the
terminal markets before another corn IS
raised and is ready for market in Deem
Der. 1t may not be easy to get cars to
move corn later. and farmers will be too
busy with hayinz and harvesting and tend
ing to their corn TO do any marketing
different about selling. The belief is that
the movement must come from interior
elevators. One thing to which traders call
attention is TO the prospect of large sup
piles Of low grade which owing to damp
ness. with low grade rye and barley. will
be fed to hogs and cattle that are on
feed. mostly to hogs. This is expected to
reduce the use Of corn on the farms
Whether the Industries that have large
stocks will continue free buyers and hold
cash prizes MP is n most important ques-
ton and much of the future depends, on
their action The crop condition is also
another factor that will keep traders busy
watching. Most of the professional cat
traders are bearish and are selling short

Federal Employment Bureaus
Go Out of Business.
J. Will Kelley Received Tele-
graph Orders Today.
CONTINUE PLACEMENT WORK
Kansas Federal Director VIII
Wind Up Business at Once.
State Still Needs Thousands of
Hands for Harvest.

A telegram was received by ]. Will
Kelley, federal director. this morning
from washington announcing that the
federal employment bureau offices
thruout the state are to be discon-
tinued Immediately. This means that
their existence ended with the COM
pletion of the days work Monday
However, 1t also was announced that
the placement office here would be
continued and a number of field
agents will be kept in service for the
present.
The discrimination of his service
comes at a time when it was of most
value to Kansas-at a time when every
office was working night and day try
ing to help get harvest hands dis
tributed over the state to help save the
big Kansas wheat harvest
May &C. Local Assistance.
Immediately following the receipt of
the telegram Kelley began an effort
to have the offices at Hutchinson and
Salina kept in operation thru the as
sistance of State Labor Commissioner
Crawford and the chamber of COM
merce organizations of these towns.
I'VE are going to continue to do the
best we can" Kelley said, but with
the curtailment OF appropriation funds
am afraid it will be hard to keep
men in the field who are acquainted
with the work they have been hand
ling for months and who are compe-
tent
The offices to be closed are those
at Topeka. Wichita, Hutchinson, Sa-
lima and Kansas City, and the office
of the federal director here. Place
ment offices will be maintained at
Topeka and Kansas City, Missouri
Labor Shortage Still Acute.
Kelley says that he expects to close
up his office as federal director in the
next few days and to get back to his
private business within a week. He
said he thought arrangements would
be made for keeping open .iome kind
of. an office in Wichita, as this has
been an important point during the
harvest hand work.
The Kansas harvest shortage is still
acute, Kelley said today. Between
5000 and 10000 men are still needed
altho about 1900 hands were handled
thru Kansas City Monday. If the sup
ply OF men can be continued at this
rate for the next few days it is be
| lieved the demand can be met and suf-
ficient help taken to the farmer tc
| prevent serious loss.

KILLS HIS FAMILY
Missouri Farmer Murders Wife
and Baby After Separation.
Feeling Running High in Com
munity Against Young Slayer.

Springfield. Mo, July Follow
ing an unsuccessful attempt to effect a
reconciliation. Harvey Lynch, % years
old. a farmer living near Palmetto.
yesterday shot and killed his wife and
their six months old baby. Lynch
was arrested by Sheriff Mackey and a
force of deputies at the home of his
father near Rogersville and locked in
the county Jail here.
Feeling against the slayer is report
ed to be high in the community where
the tragedy occurred and precautions
were being taken today to guard the
prisoner. Sheriff Mackey. said he was
prepared to remove Lynch to another
county should circumstances war
rant 1t.
Mrs. Lynch Left Husband.
Mrs. Lynch, who was 81 years old,
left her husband several days ago and
with her baby went to the home of her
father, Austin Van Stutter, near Ford
land. Lynch called at the Van Slut
ter home Saturday night entreating his
wife to return to him. She refused
and yesterday morning left the house
when Lynch became quarrelsome.
Lynch followed her into the yard,
drew a revolver and fired one shot
the bullet striking her near the heart.
Mrs. Lynch ran toward the house and
fell dead at the back door. Lynch re-
entered the house, walked to the
baby's crib and killed the infant with
one bullet, it's death being witnessed
by Mrs Van Stutter. an invalid, who
pleaded in vain for it's life.
An inquest was held last night, the
verdict being that the mother and
baby were killed by Lynch.
Il did It, but don't know why" was
the only statement Lynch would make
to the authorities.

would suspend operation Of the war
time act until January 16.
When the attitude of department
of justice officials toward beer be-
came known last night, some of the
prohibition advocates in congress
were in favor of abandoning the plan
to adjourn until July Z in order that
the act to define what beverages are
intoxicating and providing for en-
forcement of the. war time dry law.
might be rushed thru. However.
leaders refused to accept the proposal
and the question, at its earliest. can
not be considered until next week.
Even then a stiff fight is promised
as an effort will be made to permit
the president to set aside the war
wines and beer. Action of the de-
partment of Justice last night in an
nouncing there would be no inter
ference with the sale Of 2% per cent
beer was a reversal of a stand taken
in a statement issued previously in
tho day. for which there was no ex-
PLANTATION other than that the depart

Celebration of the passing of the
saloon in many cities thruout the
country lasted until early this morn

stopped at midnight.
Attorney Generals Ruling.
The attorney generals statement said !:
after today 1t will be unlawful to sell
/ for beverage purposes any distilled spirit
malt or vinous liquor except for export
| This prohibition will continue under the
/ terms Of the law until the conclusion OF
| the present war and thereafter until the

/ the law thus remains in force it must be
! obeyed. and intend that the department.

| upon 1t.
| status Of Beer in Doubt.
"Ttis law has been held 80 be constitu-
| tiona1 and valid by the circuit court of
appeals. sitting in New York. 1t plainly
| makes unlawful the sale of whisky. brandy
and other distilled spirits and wine. The
| only controversy that has arisen is as to
whether. the sale of beer containing so 1T
tie alcohol as not to be. in fact. intoxi-
eating is prohibited. The government,s
contention has been that the act prohibits
the manufacture and sale Of beer contain,
alcohol. but the Interpretation Of the act
is not free from difficulty. and I am en-
deavoring to have the question settled by
the courts at the earliest possible moment
MY course with respect TO beer contain
ing less than pa per cent OF alcohol-which
it is claimed. is not intoxicating-wiIl de-
pend upon the ruling which will soon be
made by the district courts in which cases
are now pending or in which other cases
may be brought have no power TO gram
amnesty to any VINO may see fit to rsanu-
facture or sell beer pending en- authorita
tive judicial construction Of the law, aad
am sure that brewers and dealers general
ton will be no protection against prosecu
ton Of offenses under the law.
But with respect to whisky, brandy
containing more than 2% per cent o.
alcohol, and other Intoxicating malt oil
vineus liquors, the prohibition is beyond
