DREADFUL AREA.

Catania, June 21.-The smiling,
fruitful and thickly populated slopes
of Mount Etna and the surrounding
country, as the correspondent OF
The Associated Press saw them IN
the past, have now become with
ghastly suddenness "the land of
dreadful night"
Through the thick darkness, which
can almost be felt, glows the GRIM
son of the lava fire flowing from the
craters, extending for miles and
gradually growing darker AS the
molten mass cools and hardens
cracks and crevices appear on the
surface through which can be seen
bubbling up of the boiling lava from
beneath.
The fields of Fiume Fieddo, Diana
and Calatabiano, once green and
beautiful, now covered with heavy
deposits of dust and cinders, tremble
and heave beneath the feet, while
the roaring sounds accompanying
the eruption mingle with the rumb-
lings of lorries through the dark
ness carrying away the refugees and
their possessions from the doomed
villages.
AS one approaches the volcano,
masses of fiery material thrown up
from the smaller craters can be seen;
they roll slowly down the mountain
side, and above them are dense
clouds of smoke and vapor. Orchards
and gardens have been consumed in
the intense heat long before the lava
reaches them, throwing off myriads
of sparks, and finally smolder down
into grim blackness.
AT CastigliOne, where the progress
of the devouring lava stream is slow,
but steady, the inhabitants linger in
their houses, collecting and packing
their possessions, though doubtless
most of these must be abandoned
along the road. The living room in
almost every house has been trans
formed into a chapel with statues of
the Madonna and Saints, and candles
lighted before them, while kneeling
figures PROSTATE themselves in pray
er for projection. The visit of King
Victor Emmanuel was the outstand-
ing event of the day, I. served to
lnfAse new courag, and spur the
helpers and workers to relieve the
sufferers.

breaking number IN the opinion of
department Of justice officials. He
granted 30 conditional and ID un-
conditional combinations, one full
pardon, restored full rights to q
former prisoners and denied "a ap-
plications for pardons or commuta-
tions. He also ordered remission of
fines in two cases.
Interest centered in the cases of
those convicted of violating the
espionage. draft and other war laws,
whose applications had been pressed
by various organizations and per-
sons of prominence. These num-
bered 48 and the president granted
combinations to 27, but denied ap-
plications in 81 cases, including a
group of twenty alleged members

world convicted at Sacramento, Cal.
Two convicted there, however had
their sentences commuted condition
al on their deportation.
Sentences of 22 alleged /. w. w,

tations.

CITY BOARD
SELLS BONDS
AND WARRANTS
Bonds and Warrants For
Financing of Water Plant
Are Sold at Par
o Il II Err BON DIS SOLD
Refunding Bonds to Place
City on a Cash Basis
July l
o Il II Err BONDS SOLD

The city commission last night
contracted for the sale of bonds
and warrants to finance the pur-
chase of the plant of the Bismarck
Water Supply Company and the ex-
tensions proposed to the system.
The bid of five Twin City bond
houses for the obligations was ac-
ccpted.
The syndicate, headed by Ballard
and Co. with T. &. Evensen of that
company spokesman. offered pan
for $225,000 five-percent bonds ma
turing in equal amounts from one
to 20 years; par for Approximately
$450,000 of water works improve
ment warrants bearing 6 "a percent
interest, maturing three to 20
years; and par for $4,000 general
obligation funding bonds to ma
turc in 10 years.
A supplementary condition to the
bid was that the city should bear
the expense of attorneys fees for
approval of the bond issues and the
printing, amounting to about $4,000.
The securities are to be taken as
soon as proceedings can be com
pleted and approval of Chicago bond
attorneys obtained.
The city originally planned to sell
$475,0O0 of warrants, when it was
planned to build a complete new wa
ter works system. With the pur-
chase of the old system it is eX-
pccted that the total amount neces-
sary for investment in the water
works system will be somewhat less.
The $4,000 issue of refunding
bonds is for the purpose of putting
the city on cash basis July as re-
quired in Il new law.
The rate of interest to be paid on
the securities, which averages above
6 percent, is somewhat higher than
had been anticipated. On the first
advertisement for sale of the secur-
tiles the rate of interest on war
rants was fixed at percent. Decline
in the bond market in the last few
months, due in part to increased
business activity in big centers abb
sorbng money for industrial de-
velopment and sale recently of many
millions of dollars of tax-free Sc
curities in various parts of the
country are given as reasons for the
market weakness.
