 Elderly veterans Of frequent earthquakes in this region said they could not remember any shocks more severe than those of this morning.
 The center of the seismic move mont appeared to have been between Mclf, Ariano and Apuglia.
 Three Quick shocks
 Professor Alessandro Malladra, di- rector Of the Eesuvian observatory, said three shocks came in quick suc- cession, lasting in all about one min- ute. He said there was a violent agitation Of the laboratory and the recording needles flew out of the seism ographic zone, preventing exact calculation Of the epicentre.
 The Institute Of Terrestrial Physics at the University of Naples reported that there were three shocks, reaCh- ing an intensity between grades 6 and on the Mercalh scale, with maximum acceleration between l2.5 and IS millimeters a second.
 The violence of the three shocks grade seven on the MercalIi scale was indicated by the calculations of seismographer that if it had reached grade 10 on the same scale the whole city of Maple would have been destroyed.
 Up to two o'clock this afternoon, the United States consulate had no notice Of any American victims in Naples or any of the nearby resorts on the famous bay. At Sorrento, which is a popular stopping place Of American tourists, two natives were killed by cave-in. Five deaths were reported in the nearby countryside

 In the meantime he had won the Scientific American trophy for 1909 and in 1910 he took it out of com petition.

has been and is playing into the hands of the so-called power trust"
 Motives Mysterious
 In fact, the view that the power trust is behind the movement to un- load Huston, is difficult to reconcile with MT. Huston's record. The group of senators which has been fighting the power interests in con- nection with Muscle Shoals, Boulder Dam and other federal waterpow- CT projects, always has looked on Huston as lined up with the power interests. It would be extremely difficult to convince any of this group of senators that the power trust is or has been opposed to hay publican party organization. And yet, some of the Huston group here assert that the demand for his res ignation has been inspired by power interests, and that this intrigue has been furthered not only by Senator Walcott and Committeeman Rora- back, but by J. R. Mutt, treasurer of the national committee, James Frances Burke, sometimes legal counsel to the committee and by Representative Bertram Shell of New York.
 Those who make these represent ations bring forth no very convinc- ing facts, but assert that the facts will be brought out before the Illus ton controversy has been decided. It is rumored here that when Illus ton calls the national committee together. he will see to it that all the dirty linen goes into the wash tub and while he may reHnquish his place at the head of the party organization, there will be others who will find it expedient to retire from the committee.
 Something Beneath Sruface
 Undoubtedly there has been more behind the opposition to Huston than has come to the surface. When Huston appeared before the senate lobby investigation committee and testified as to his activities in con- nection with Muscle Shoals legisla- ton, and his connection with the Tennessee River Improvement as- sociation, immediately there was a

 Other reports said casualties were recorded in Avellino and Potenza.
 Buildings Collapse
 The tremors shook buildings and the casualties resulted from the col lapse of walls, church steeples and tho like.
 In all the cities the frightened residents ran into the streets psnic- stricken, and some injuries resulted from the commotion.
 The shocks were felt as far away as Ancona and Bar on the Adria+ic coast, and at Chieti. Teramo and Aquila in the Abruzzi region.
 The panic in Naples was increased when electricity was cut off. the frantic inhabitants rushing about in the darkness, shouting and crying.
 Bremen, police and facist militia men quickly mobilized to restore or der and to collect the casualties.
 The panic reached it's height in the jail, where terrorized prisoners moaned, grasped their bars and pleaded to be freed for fear the roof would crumble. Carabinieri quickly euieted them.
 The Duchess of Aosta. wife of the cousin of King Victor Emmanuel, left her palace at Capodimonte immedi- ately after the tremors and went among the injured in a Red Cross uniform, doing much to alleviate the alarm.

Made Notable Experiments

Made Notable Experiments
 New York, July B CP, - Glenn H. Curtiss nurtured the young sci ence Of aviation in the middle years of it's development when fainter hearts had grown discouraged,
 His native town Of Hammonds- port, in upstate New Yor:i. where he was born on May 21, 1878, is now called by its Chamber Of Commerce the cradle of aviation" because of what Curtiss and his associates did there.
 At the age Of 16 he started bi- cycle shop, as did those other pio- neers of American aviation - the Wright brothers - and from that went into bicycle racing. He sought some means to make them go faster but there were no engines that would meet the demand, so Curtiss decided 10 make one.
 Built Motor Bicycle
 With a tomato can for a carbu- retor. he built his first motor bicy- cle in 1901 He continued to experi- ment with light weight motors and evolved his famous N-type motor, a departure in design reflected in the radial airplane engines Of today In 1902 he won the New York state road race. competing with the best riders Of two continents In 1904 he set speed record at Ormond Beach. Fla, of ten miles in 3 min- utes and 54 seconds, and in 1906, over the same course, traveled fast ar than man ever had before, a mile in 26 and 2-5 seconds or at the rate Of approximately 14O miles an hour. That record stood for years
 His fame spread and drew the at tention of the late Major Thomas Scott Baldwin, builder and operator of balloons. In 1904 the two men met in Hammondsport and installed Q Curtiss motor in Baldwin's balloon, the California Arrow. With this ma chine they made a circular flight at Oakland, Calf, in August, 1904, first to fly that way
 From that time on the name of Curtiss has been as closely linked with airplane as horse with buggy. ship a sea.
 Bell Seeks His Help
 Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, in ventor of the telephone, commis- stoned Curtiss to build motor for a carrying kite. Mrs Bell join- ed with him in financing what was called the Aerial Experiment Asso- citation. Gliders were experimented with for time, and then the men turned their attention to powered airplanes.
 Lieut.. Thomas Selfridge, one of the associates. was responsible for the first machine, known as the Red Wing. which made it's flight March 12, 1908, over ice covered Lake Keuka, near Hammondsport.
 Curtiss in his turn demonstrated a plane he called the June Bug. He used less wing spread, a higher powered motor, small horizontal rudders at each wing tip, forerun- ner of the present day ailerons.
 The Scientific American had of fered a prize for the airplane that first would fly kilometer at an an- nounced officially observed test. Curtiss accepted the challenge, and set July 4, 1908. as the date, at the old race track near Hammondsport.
