WEST AWAITS
 HIS HOUR IF
 DEATH, RAG|NG
Condemned Man Heaps Blas- phemous Vituperations
 on Prison Guards

FLORENCE, Ariz., Sept. 2S.-Curs- ing everyone within reach of his voice pouring out blasphemous vituperations upon the heads of the prison guards and his fellow prisoners, Theodore West tonight is raging back and forth in the death cell at the state peniten- tiary, awaiting the call to begin the grim march to the gallows, where, at 3 o'clock in the morning, he will pay with his life for the murder of Lem Smith.
 West blasphemously refused to see clergymen. and according to prison officials his actions have been pecu- liar for the past ten days. That he is attempting to sham insanity is the belief of the authorities, who assert that West once before, in California, escaped the gallows after having been sentenced to death, by an insanity plea.
 The doomed man has been eating heartily and sleeping soundly, his guards reported tonight, and at times he showed signs of worry.
 The body of Lem Smith with a bull let hole in the back of the head, was found lying beside the road between Oatman and Topoc, in Mohave county in July, 1921.
 Smith and West, travelling together in an automobile. had left Oatman the day before West was arrested in T o, Anoalac OaUaroI dave after tba discovery of Smiths body. He was brought back to Kingman, tried and found guilty Of murder

SPEZIA. Italy, Sept. 2S.-(By the Associated Press)-The number of dead is feared to reach IA in the ex- plosion today at Falconari fort, near here, according to available lists. Sev- eral hundreds have been seriously in jured. A majority of the victims are still buried beneath the wreckage.
 Pitiful cries for aid are heard com ing from beneath numerous heaps of debris, but though the rescue work is proceeding actively it will be some time before the last victims are extri- cated from the wreckage of the i'm mense number of houses which were raZed.
 Streams of injured are arriving to- night in automobiles, trolley cars, Tor ries and ambulances from the scene fthe explosion. Numerous other in- iured persons are being sheltered in schools, the waiting rooms of the rail way stations and private houses. The hospitals are filled.
 Troops, firemen and civilians are working hard to clear away the wreck age Their task is an almost super human one.
 Every tree within radius of many miles of the explosion was uprooted. All the windows in Spezia were brok- en.
 The Italian red cross immediately after the explosion, sent large quan- titles of medical stores and other first aid necessities to the cene.
 The explosion, which was caused by lightning, occurred during a vio- lent torm which damaged the crops and property of the inhabitants for large areas along the gulf.

ATHENS, Sept. 27.-(By the Asso- slated ess)-Crown Prime George was sworn in as king of the Hellenes this Wednesday, afternoon. The city is illuminated tonight in honor of his accession.
 Perfect order is being maintained and the revolutionAts appear to be masters of the situation. They have taken over the administration and it is expected that a ministry will be formed within AS hours. It is reported that General Nider will be command CT of the army.
 The imprisoned democratic liberals have been released as well as others who were charged with treason in connection with an alleged conspir- acy.
 Late in the afternoon the leaders of the counter revolutionary movement announced the abandonment of their opposition to the revolution.
 PARIS, Sept. 2S-(By the Associated Press)-According to a telegram from Athens, dated six o'clock this morn ing, provisional government consist ing of 12 officers will rule Greece un- til civil government has been es- tablished. The message was received by the Greek legation here.
 The telegram recites events already known and adds:
 ''The spirit and aims of the revolu- ton being essentially nationalist, it was, from the first moment, welcomed by all and the entire population as we'll as the army at Athens, received the revolutionary forces which entered the capitol yesterday afternoon, with enthusiasm.

 tExplaining the progress of the rev olution, the telegram says: After the retreat of the Greek arm ies in Asia Minor al 1.-the officers, the people and the army became convinced ; that the abdication of King Constan- tine was necessary, in as much as his presence was an obstacle in the way of our national interests, both for do mestic and foreign affairs, since, as King, he no longer enjoyer the con fidence of the allied powers and those powers allied with Greece.

This fact alone is sufficient comment upon the gravity of the situation in the Near East. re- vealed by yesterdays bad news. which has been amply confirmed and accent uated by today's dispatches
 Latest advices are to the effect that there has been no collision be- tween the Turkish and British forces in the Chanak zone and that seems to be the only satisfying aspect of a very threatening situation. Friendly mes sages have been exchanged between General Harrington, the British com mander at Constantinople. and Renal Pasha, discussing the respective view points in an amicable manner, but the Kemalists show not the slightest disposition to recede from their posi- tiOn, and refuse to withdraw their troops from the Chanak sector.
 On the other hand. according to gov ernment dispatches and correspOn- dents on the spot, an additional Turk ish force entered the neutral zone to- day. and there is a constant increase in the Turkish troops in both the Chanak and Ismid sectors. Not only do the Kemalists refuse to retire from , the neutral zone. ignoring all British warnings. but they are reported to have declared that they will not per init the British to build Notifications at certain points within the zone. In Constantinople it is believed that the situation has been relieved by the Kemalist agreement to recognize the neutrality of the straits. pending the armistice conference. Another point on the peace side is that General Tar ! ington still professes confidence in Kemal's moderation.

Mankind, despite Professor Latournay,
is beginning to develop an effective de-
fense against insects. It Is being grad

available resource Of science being utilized.
The entomologists are employing chemical
means OF warfare on an extensive scale.
F1ame-throwers have been used effec-
lively in attacking armies Of grasshoppers.
Airplanes have been employed along the
Rio Grande in reconnaissance work rela:.
ing to the pink bollworm and in Ohio for

When countrywide, stringent laws for
bird protection are put through and en-
forced hope will begin to dawn.
Among the many species OF bad insect

conspicuous as destroyers Of crops. II can
hardly be said that any one of these looms
above all the others as a depredator and

Another example Is offered by the ia

the sand burr" This plant, presumably
through human agency, extended its range
