 REPORTS GROWING
Latest Dispatches Add to
 Horrors Of Disaster

Leninakan, Armenia, Oct. 29 L40- Government and Near East Relief reports received today from scatter ing regions in the earthquake zone show that the first accounts greatly minimized the consequences of last weeks disaster.
 In the villages of Alexandrovka, Daharlu and karaklissa, 152 per sons were buried in the ruins and 210 badly injured. If these casualties are typical of the 34 other ruined villages, the total loss of life will ex- ceed 1,500, as against the 600 first reported.
 This estimate does not take into account the fatalities in towns be- yond the Armenian-Turk border, where the loss in life and property is known to be very great.
 In all the devastated villages there is indescribable misery and want among the stricken population, many being without shoes and clad only in potato sacks.
 For seven days and night, recur- ring earth shocks and loud subter- ranean rumblings have kept the population in a state of panic and despair.
 Malaria, influenza, pneumonia and other diseases are spreading, and the American and native doctors are overwhelmed. Numbers of natives who lost their families in the dis aster have gone insane.
 There is still grave shortage of foodstuffs. The near east relief to- day turned over it's huge bakery, built to supply the 5000 orphans under it's care, to the local govern ment.
 The Associated Press correspond ent has just completed a two-day automobile tour of the devastated region. What he saw is comparable only with the terrible scenes of the smyrna fire disaster of 1923. which he also witnessed.
 Everywhere are mangled masses of timber, iron girders, stones and earthen roofs, with here and there bodies, both of humans and animals, visible.

YOUNG STUDENT IS
 HELD AS R0BBER
Cambridge Youth Accused in
 New York City

New York, Oct. 2s P}-Arthur Joseph Daly, IS year old Cambridge, Mass, art student, pleaded not gull ty today to indictments charging grand larceny in the first degree. He was remanded to the tombs for trial.
 Daily was arrested two weeks ago by detectives who were watching pawnshops in the hope of capturing 1 thieves who recently held up the automobile of former United States Senator William M.

 They seized Daly as he was at tempting to pawn a solitaire dia- mond ring, similar to one stolen by the Calder thieves. He was taken to Brooklyn, but none of the Calder party could identify him.
 While looking up his record, how ever, police learned that Daly was wanted in connection with the loot ing of a stateroom on the Leviathan occupied by Walter $. Butler of Wilmington, Del, on December 5 last. as the ship was about to leave it's pier Daily was taken to his room in West 55th street and there several pieces of jewelry and a quantity of franc notes were found which were identified by Butler as part of the property taken from his stateroom.

 Daly told police he ran away from home year and a half ago. At that time he was a student at the Ridge Art school.

At first it was feared that the hubbub might be a repercussion of the Sacco-Van- zetti case, but the excitement turned out to be caused by an argument over art
 When tumult had died down sev- en more or less aesthetic young Frenchmen were under arrest. They were attending an auction sale at gallery opposite the American en- bassy for the benefit of the ''save tn! franc fund" and became involv- ed In a heated argument over the works of foreign artists on display.
 The first outcry was raised when study of Anatole France by the Dutch painter Van Donger brought 95,000 francs (about s2,S50.)
 ''Ninety-hve thousand francs for a piece of cheese" said one Of the young men to his companions, all of whom described themselves as artists and men of letters.
 Equall, uncomplimentary re- marks followed when a small paint ing by the South American artist Picasso brought 79,Ooo francs, 9th CT works of South American mod erns similarly revolted the self styled "purist" souls of the seven shouters.
 A bit of futursm by Rumanian contributor set the young men to making such noise that the direc- tor of the sale called in the police who carted the disturbers to the police station where they were reprimanded and released.
 These things are an outrage against good taste and it is an in suit that France should be aided by them" the seven said in describ- ing their objections to the paintings After making this announcement they left in the direction of the Latin quarter.
 Ambassador Myron T. Herrick received a flood of communications during July regarding Nicola Sacco and Bartholomeo Vanzetti, convict ed of murder in Massachusetts. Sev- eral of the letters contained vague threats of reprisals if the men, both radicals, were executed. The am- bassador considered the missives as coming from harmless sorts of cranks. The case came to the fore a few days ago when an appeal for a new trial was denied by the judge who heard the easel
