l a. m, today. and although II pa

ran into the SmOke-fill rooms and
brought others out. Fire department
ambulances removed the patients to
other hospitals.
The fire, which did $25. 900 damage,
started In the laundry room and was
confined to one side of the building.
Finds Heap Of Films
Chief Fire Marshal Michael j. Cor
rigan was particularly interested in
the quantity Of X-ray films stored in
the hospital. With the recent Clevc-
land hospital fire in mind, Corrigan's
first thought was to keep the flames
from these films.
Corrigan said he would start an i'm
mediate investigation into the APP
parcntly careless manner in which the
X-ray films were left in jumbled
heap in q room dangerously close to
the flames
IF the flames had reached the film.
we would have had disaster similar
to that in Cleveland" he said.
DR.. Edward G. Meyer, house physi-
clan, said man had come to the
hospital Saturday with an offer to
buy the old X-ray films.
IL Patients Carried Out
''Thc films were taken from the
vaults in .ie S parts Of the hos
pital and placed in the room where
they were fourd, pending the mans
return" DR.. Meyer said.
Twelve Of the II patients had to be
carried from the Smoke-fillcd rooms.
Eight persons, in another section of
the hospital not touched by fire, were
moved from their beds to the ele-
vator doors. in case an emergency
evacuation were necessary.
Mrs. Lucy Lampbrocht. mother OF a
l0-day-old baby, was removed from
the third floor. Once outside she be-
gan screaming TO. her baby. Fire
men reentered the hospital. fighting
their way through the smoke to the
nursery where they found the infant
sound asleep. though the room was
full of smoke and there was clang-
ing Of fire equipment and the mur-
muir Of thousands Of voices outside.

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE

I. J. Rodman, former Williston
banker. has been granted q full par
don by the state pardon board. He
was convicted in 1924 at receiving de-
poeits In an insolvent bank but was
never brought to the penitentiary.
Although the action Of the pardon
board was unusual, in that full par
dons rarely are issued to men convict
ed Of felonies and because Of the fllr.
ther fact that Rodman never served
any Of the lO.year term to which ne
was sentenced by Judge John G. Lowe
in district court, members Of the par.
don bonrd said they felt there had
been . miscarriage Of justice IN the
Rodman case.
Petitions that -2odman be granted
. full pardon were presented to the
pardon board by = group Of Is Willis
ton business men who appeared oe'
fore the state pardon board yesterday
In addition to their personal repre-
sentations they presented separate
petitions signed by . large number O
Williston business men. by the city
commissioners, the county commits
soners, the county prosecutor and the
members Of the jury by which Rod
man was convicted.
No formal document was presented
on behalf Of Judge Lowe but he was
represented to the board as favorine
. pardon. -
Rodman was one of 10 williams
county bankers who were indicted ~
a williams county grand jury follow
Ing q succession of bank closings and
the only one Of the 10 who was
brought to trial. Charges against the
others were not pressed.
Following his conviction Rodmar'
btgan a long fight to upset the judg'
ment or to obtain new trial. His
appeal to the supreme court was
hare. fought and the record involved
was one Of the longest ever presented
to that tribunal. More than q yeal
aro. however. the supreme court de-
MED the application for . new trta
and affirmed the judgment or convic'
tiou.
Rodman, who had been released or
bond. was said at that time to bt
living in California. He was never
brought back to the state to begin
service Of the term to which he had
been sentenced and the next formal
record in the case Is that made BY
the pardon board yesterday. Rod.
man is said to have been In Bismarck
yesterday but could not be located
here today.

with parliamentary elections last
Thursday in which the labor party Of
Mr.. Macdonald supplanted the con-
servativcs of Premier Baldwin as the
numerically strongest party in the
house of commons.

first discussion with the monarch
since the disaster of his party at the
polls Thursday.

Minister to King George. In effect

sign and Mr. Baldwin who was sent

Barre before heavily increased flow
Of lava from the crater.
Latest dispatches said the lava was
moving with irresistible force at the
rate of $50 feet an hour and had in
creased in width to more than 70 feet.
It was only $50 feet from the town of
Barre at 4 p. m. u0.00 A. M. E. S. t.
and only half q mile from the town
Of Terzigno. Panic had seized upon
the population Of neighboring towns.
Director Malladra OF the vesuvian
observatory said this afternoon that
there was q decided increase In the
lava flow from the cone through
which the eruption burst. The in
terror Of this cone in the crater is a
lake Of boiling rock and lava.
Destroys Vineyards, Woods
Vineyards and woods near Tcrzigno
were destroyed by the lava today.
Although an early official state
ment from the Vesuvian observatory
declared the eruption would gradually
die away. the authorities considered
the situation dangerous.
Prompt measures were taken. A
trainload of soldiers was sent to Barre
to superintend evacuation Of the
town by General Taranto, command
ant of the army corps in this area
Count Capialbi. vice-prefect. and g

wide at the rate of 10 feet second
observers reported late in the after
noon.
Evacuation Is Orderly
Evacuation Of Barre was carriet
out in perfect order. The scene wa
extremely picturesque as the, inhabi
tants Of the threatened town carriet
off all their belongings that could b,
loaded into carts. Vehicles Of al
kinds were pressed into service. most
lily brilliant two-wheelcd carts fol
which southern Italy is famous.
Soldiers were turned into moving
men and aided the inhabitants. Vol
untccrs from other towns also cam,
to the rescue. The district threat
ened by the increased lava flow is 1
rich agricultural one. It Is famous
for a number of excellent wines ant
the lava is destroying part Of tn,
vineyards which stretch for miles ant

The Vesuvian observatory watches
the progress Of the eruption with tn
closest attention and was ready t,
