the Beaux Arts school, which began
at Luna Park at 8 o'clock last
night, came to an end at s O'Clock

The hall decorations were ar

out to represent scenes from the
ancient Pompeiian festival to cele-

The largest-the committee loge-

the hall and represented Roman

Mount Vesuvius in eruption.
The foreground was in the shape
of a Roman galley, costing thou'
sands of dollars to construct. There
sat the art school alumni and their
wives, protected from immersion,
while Bacchantes splashed about In
fountains flowing with real cham

A committee of "strong.arm gen.

for the women. If their attire was
sufficiently abbreviated, they en-

Nude women posed as statues
about the loges. The halls swarmed

LONDON. June 20.-Palonaba
and Santosporito, two villages at
the base of Mt. Etna, have been
overwhelmed by molten lava, said
a Central News dispatch from
Rome at noon. ~N
The movement Of the molten
lava has slackened somewhat, but
the smoke and vapor has increased,
casting a pail of darkness over the
whole countryside.
Nine Towns Destroyed.
Lava has reached the outskirts
Of Castiglione and Linguagfoeea,
but If it slows up there Is hope
Of saving the greater part OF both
towns.
An earlier Central News dispatch
reported the lava had broken out
in a new direction from Htna's
crater. It stated that molten
streams were flowing down the west
ern slope of the volcano with great
speed and volume.
The dispatch described the pittful
scenes along the Sicilian roads
leading from the volcano. They
were clogged with peasants and
weeping women with babies In
their arms.
The fugitives struggled with the
intense heat over roads Uttered
with household articles that had
been cast aside. Some carried UNI
brellas to protect them from GIN
ders that constantly fell.
A telegram from Catanfa said
King Victor Emanuel was tireless
in his effort to comfort the refu-
gees and to give what material
assistance he could. According to
this dispatch the following were
among the villages inundated by
lava.

In the meantime, the mob was be-

were being fired. loud cries for a

and one fatal sweep over the hand

The fire department was called

expressed their belief that he was

Several were reported to be wound

their identity.
Officers admit that the negro wa:
