VEX FROM HOMES BV EARTHQUAKES. lluilUings Shaken to Piec-es and Ter rified Inhabitants Flee to Grot tos. Halt Frozen. REXiGIO PI CALABRIA. Jan. 23. A strong: earthquake shook this province today. Vp to the present time no report of loss of life has been received. The shocks were particularly severe at the villages of Blanco, Brancoleone, Bruzzano and Forrazzano. Terrified people rushed from their homes into the open Itelds or took refuge in the nearby sub terranean grottos. Later in the day another shock was ex perienced considerably more severe than the first. Many buildings were dam aged, a larpe number of houses being rendered uninhabitable. The municipal building: at Blanco Nuevo collapsed. Not withstanding the intense cold, the people are camping in the open. The municipal authorities have set up tents in the fields, which to some extent will alleviate suffering. Why He Turned On the Light. DliNVER, Jan. 23. Commissioner of In surance H K. Riltenhsuse referring to public criticism on his report of the Prov ident Savings Life Assurance Society to day, made the following statement: "The Interests who are condemning the Colorado Insurance Commissioner for publishing the true condition of the Provi dent Savlnes Society are the very men who have violated their trust by misusing and mismanaging the funds of the policy, holders. 'Although tho company stopped writ ing new business on December ah offi cers - and salaries are still retained. A motion at the directors' meeting last week to abolish these offices and salaries and to correct this outrage on policy-holders, was tested by the vote of the factions. They are neglecting the Interest of the policy-holders now as they have done In the past. The assets of the society do not contain a single dollar belonging to either faction of the stockholders. They are simply fighting for the privilege of con trolling nearly ,500,000 of the policy-holders' funds. These factions felt their in terests demanded the Colorado report be withheld and I believed the interests of the society and policy-holders demanded that it be published." V NAME IS NOT EXCLUSIVE Salvation Army Loses Suit In Su preme Court. NEW YORK. Jan. 23. The right of the Salvation Army of the United States, of which General William Booth is the head, to exclusive use of that or any similar name, was denied today by Justice Newburger In the Supreme Court Justice Newburger's decision was on the application made by the Salvation Army of the United States for an In junction to restrain the American Sal vation Army, headed by James W.

Stationing of Submarines Only Re i motel y Useful in AVar and Against Good Naval Policy. WASHINGTON, Jan.. 23. In response to a resolution introduced by Senator An keny aJid passed oy the Senate, the Sec retary of the Navy today transmitted to the Senate a letter giving: the estimate of the cost of submarine torpedo boats delivered at Pugt Sound and Grays Har bor, on the Pacinc Coast. He said that under a recent contract the Navy had been offered 34Kton submarines for $360, 000 and 270-ton submarines for $285,000. The Navy Department estimate for each boat on the Pacific Coast would be $378,000. In his letter the Secretary of the Navy stated that Pacific Coast points were too far from the home porta of any Invading enemy to require permanently stationed submarines, and that In any event he did not concur in a belief that any vessel of the Navy should be built with the idea of giving It permanent station at any point. After expressing his concurrence in the view-of the Board of Construction concerning the cost of submarines on Puget Sound and Grays Harbor. Secre tary Met calf says: Responding to the inquiry as to whether in my opinion the torpedo-boats suggested are necessary for the proper protection of the waters heretofore named. I have to state that this Question Is one that can not without difficulty be answered in gen eral terms. Assuming the possibility of war. it would be a gross violation of the first principle of strategy for any nation to send a naval expedition to operate at a great distance from its sources of supply and reoair until the -main battle fleet of the United States bad been reduced and since our battleships are superior to any probable enemy on the Pacific, the theater of war might cot be expected to reach the coast for an indefinite time. In case of war, the only operations which would probably affect the coast would be in the nature of raids by small forces, which would doubtless have an unimportant bear ing on the outcome of the war. ' The resolutions provide torpedo boats to be stationed on Puget Sound and at Grays Harbor. State of Washington. It Is moat inadvisable that any appropriation be made by Congress for naval vessels to be con structed for exclusive employment in any specific localty, - as herein proposed. All naval vessels should be available for service at large, and the power of directing the place and manner of employment should not . be restricted. The policy of local re striction would result in a serious weaken ing of the Nation's sower of offense and defense, and It Is most earnestly advised that no such policy be adopted. RUEF REFUSES TO TALK Date of His Trial Will Bo Set Today, v SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 23. Al though the date ot his trial will be set by Superior Judge Lawlor tomorrow morning. Abraham Ruef today declined to state -whether he had engaged coun sel and was prepared to so announce in court tomorrow, or whether he would plead for further delay. Ruef left the County Jail shortly after 9 o'clock with Deputy Sheriff Frank Johnson, and, after appearing before Judge Dunne on some of the ex tortion Indictments, which were con tinued for one week, he held a long conference with his former attorney. Henry Ach, and Rabbi Nieto. Ach, it is generally believed, has again - been retained by Ruef. He leaves for Los Angeles this afternoon, to be absent several - days, and it Is generally understood that Ach is the prospective "associate counsel" re ferred to by Senator George B. Keane in court Tuesday .morning, whose ac ceptance depended upon the continu ance of a case in one of the Los An geles courts tomorrow'. The sentence of Ruef on the extor tion charge, to which he : pleaded guilty, was also' continued for on,e week by Judge Dunne. TIT OF OIL Hi BLOQQ IT POINTS TO NORBELL AS MUR DERER OP SUECTERS. Coroner's Jury Suspects of Fivefold Killing and Circumstantial ' Evidence Is Strong. BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 23. A special to the Miner from Lewiston, Mont., says: Sheriff Edward Martin and party re turned to this city early this morning bringing Ole Nordell as a prisoner. The result of the Coroner's Inquest over the remains of Mrs. Fred Sleuter and her four children, whose charred bodies were found in the ruins of their little ranch home on the Musselshell a few days ago, was to the effect that all five had been murdered by some person unknown and recommending that Nordell be held for the crime. The prisoner declined to discuss the case. His first request after being locked up was to have J. C. Huntoon, an attor ney, sent to him immediately. It appears that Immediately upon his arrest his place was searched, and in a storeroom which was locked up a pair of overalls damp with kerosene and bloodstained were found. His undergar ments in the same place had blood stains on them, besides a hat, his suspenders and his overshoes. The officers are certain that kerosene was freely used in the Sleuter home after the widow and the children had been slain. Mrs. Sleuter kept her supply of coal oil in a storehouse separate from the little home. It was not touched by the flames. The door was kept closed by a leather strap, which had been 'broken, and 'every drop of oil was gone from the place. The' feeling against Nordell is so 'bitter along the Musselshell that out for the ar- rival of the officers he undoubtedly would have been lynched.
