ROME. Dec 30. The immensity of
th disaster In Southern Italy and
Sicily can be measured only by the
fact that It Is now estimated, that
110.000 persona perished In Messina
and Regscio alone. A score of other
towns have been devastated and thou
sands of victims In tese places must
be added to the rolL In the face of
these awful totals all Italy stands ap
palled. Nor ha the full death list yet
been reported.
Shiploads of fugitives have arrived
at Naples and other ports and the vast
majority of these are sorely Injured.
Other thousands remain near the ruins
of their homes or wander half starved,
half raked over the land. The forces
that on Monday overwhelmed the
cltle also destroyed the means of sus
tenance. Mere Handful Survives.
Telegraphic communication has been es
tablished with Messina, the apparatus
having been set up In a railway station.
Messages that have come over the line,
though they have been meagre In detail,
show that hope Is gone. Nothing re
mains of the city but a mass of ruins
that have been swept by Are. A mere
handful of survivors is being cared for
by the rescuing forces, but their distress
Is great and It has been increased by the
recent Icy wind that followed the deluge
of rain. Destitution is appalling. There
Is little food and less water.
Loss 10,000 in Two Cities.
Of Messina's 90.000 population, it is be
lieved that fully 70,000 perished. Forty
thousand people died In Regglo.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena were in Messina today. The King
explored the ruins regardless of the dan
cer to which he exposed himself. Ha was
j?ten moved to tears at the heartrend
ing scenes he came upon at every turn.
The King was loud In hia praise of the
plendid work accomplished by tlw Ital
ian. Russian and English bluejackets, who
aved many persons who otherwise would
nave perished. The Queen spent the day
In the wards of the Improvised hospitals,
visiting the wounded, many of whom have
lost all that was dear to them. ' Her
majesty did her best to cheer them with
words of consolation, often breaking Into
sobs as she listened to their dreadful tales
of suffering. The King left for Regrgio
tonight.
Catania People Unnerved.
Catania, the largest city nearest the
scene of the disaster. Is crowded with
refugees, and the continuous stream of
fugitives coming In, the sight of the
wounded and the repetition of real or
imaginary earthquakes have so alarmed
the population that they are becoming
uncontrollable. There Is no longer any
place where the refugees may And shel

Archbishop of Catania, has employed all

AUTO GOES UP IN
BURST OF FLAMES
CRUSHED BETWEEN TWO TROL
LEY CARS OX BRIDGE.
Short Circuit Starts Blaze, Depart
ment Called Out, Traffic Blocked
and Women In Hysterics.
Streetcar traffic from Grand avenue
on the Kast Side to Second street on
the West Side was blocked for half a
hour Just at the "busy season" last
night, by one of the most spectacular
automobile accidents that ever has
happened In Portland. Though no on
was Injured, a dozen or more women
passengers on Montavllla cars Nos
343 and 344, both of which figured i
the collision, nearly went Into hysterics
when the motor car, firmly pinioned
between the two streetcars, caught flee
and went up In smoke through the ex
plosion of the gasoline tank, superln
duced by a short-circuiting of the re
spective trolley wires, which Ignited
the Inflammable motive power of the
auto.
H. G. Terry, owner and driver of the
motor car, and regarded as one of the
best drivers In the city, was on his
way home to dinner. With him as
guests were Louis Bruce and Dr. F. Per
kins. It was about 6:30 o'clock and
Terry was running eastward on Morri
son street at a moderate clip. He
passed eastbound Montavllla car 343
at the west approach of the Morrison
street bridge, and after mounting the
Incline met westbound car 344 just af
ter crossing the anchor span of the
bridge. He turned to the right to
avoid the inbound car, when the out
bound car rammed the auto from the
rear and keeled it over directly onto
the track in front of car No. 344. The
result was that Terry's auto was hope
lessly jammed between the two street
cars. The motor car took fire and was
soon in a roaring blaze. This terrified
the women In the streetcars and they
sought to rush for safety. Cooler
heads 'told them there was no danger
and they subsided.
It took fully half an hour to disen
tangle the fnlx-up, and In the mean
time a fire alarm had been turned In.
A chemical engine responded, but its
services were not required, for Terry's
motor car was a wreck before the ap
paratus arrived.
NAVAL OFFICERS TO HIKE
Physical Test to lie Arranged for
Men Who "Pace the Deck."
WASHINGTON, Dec 30. Regulations
governing the physical tests to
be given officers of the navy will very
anon be promulgated by Secretary
Newberry. These regulations provide
for a physical test which is believed
to be equivalent to that which haa
been applied to the army and marine
corps. A walking test, it is said, will
be the basis of the naval regulation,
but officers so desiring may have the
option of substituting horseback or
blcycle-rldlng endurance tests.
Various details of the physical tests
to be given naval officers were discussed
today at a conference at the White
House. It Is expected that regulation
providing for a test will be announced
wtthin a day or two.
Immediately after the conference tha
President went to the Navy Department
with Secretary Newberry and visited the
draughting room, where there are mod
els of many vessels. His purpose was
to familiarize himself with the various
types of warships.

and scattered the remnants on the floor.
Several pews were overturned and an
attempt made to get at the silver serv
ices, but these were locked beyond reach.
The men are believed to have been

NAPLES. Dec. 30. The steamer Thera

gees from Messina, bereaved men, starv
ing women and weeping children, all with
the stamp of great suffering on their
faces. One of the refugees, a man with
a German cotton firm In the lost city,
said:
Messina is utterly destroyed. Nothing
remained when I left but a part of the
citadel. A few soldiers are the lone sur
vivors of the whole garrison.
Slides Down Hope to Safety.
'I was asleep when the first shock
came. I. lit my lamp, but all was quiet
and I turned to sleep again. Suddenly
fresh shocks occurred, violent and terri
fying. I arose quickly, but the house
was swaying and my door was jammed.
I tore the sheets from the bed and made
a rope and lowered myself from the win
dow to the street. An Italian family of
five persons escaped from the house by
the aid of my rope. '
'No sooner were we in the street than
the house collapsed. I tried to assist in
the work of rescue, but it was useless.
The horror and contusion were Indescrib
able. I wandered in the wrecked streets.
No food could be secured. I had only a
few nuts to eat, The head of my firm
Was lost, and his brother had to go to
the streets, begging for bread for his
wife and children. There was no organi
sation in the work of rescue.
Convicts Loot and Kill.
'The prison was destroyed and the
wardens killed, but most of the convicts
escaped. They prowled about the ruins,
robbing and murdering. They cut off
the fingers of the dead and wounded to
get the rings. Some of them were sing
ing songs of liberty as they plied the
knife.
A Russian vessel lying in the harbor
was thrown Into the street by the tidal
wave. Other vessels foundered. Railway
lines were swallowed up. The square
known as the Campo Santo collasped and
sank. Only the summits of a few ruined.
buildings still emerged from the street.
What remained of the population when I
left was camping near the harbor."
According to other refugees, not a sin

COMMENT ON VERDICT.
Circuit Judge E. C. Bronaugh I
think the man had a fair and Im
partial trial. The Jury was excep
tionally good, composed throughout
of conscientious men, and I know
they gave the whole matter their
careful attention and consideration
and did their full duty as they saw
it and with a full realization that
the duty was a serious one.
District Attorney Cameron The
jury did Its duty and did It fully, and
I believe this conviction will tend to
make life more secure In the com
munity than It has seemed to be in
the past year or so. I feel that Finch
should speedily pay the full pen
alty of his crime.
C. F. Lord. Chief Counsel for Finch
1 believe Finch shot in the defense
of his own life and that he wilt
never go to the gallows.
James A. Finch, the convicted
murderer nl fight this case right on
up to the United States Supreme
Court. They'll not railroad my soul
to hell.
"Well, If they are going to hang me,
I'll die like a man, anyway."
Puffing furiously at a big nickel cigar
James A. Finch fought desperately with
himself for self control and strained to
affect an air of bravado and unconcern
as he was led down to the death cell late
yesterday afternoon with the Jury's ver
dict of guilty still ringing in his ears;
a verdict that meant he must- die- at the
end of a hangman's rope for the devilish
murder of Ralph B. Fisher, late prosecu
tor of the Multnomah Bar Association.
"But I'll fight this case right on up
to the United States Supreme Court," he
said. "Why, the records are chuck full
of reversible error and I'll get an appeal.
They are trying to railroad my soul to
hell. But I'm going to fight. They may
hang me. but they'll not railroad me.
You can count on It that I've, got a couple
of years to live.
It took the Circuit Court Jury Just thir
ty minutes to go from the courtroom to
the Juryroom, prepare the verdict and re
turn with It. It took .them only a few
seconds to decide Finch must die. There
was no dissenting voice, no discussion, no
hesitation. The twelve men proceeded In

Willis Smith Says He Was Confined
in Cave, but Parents Think
Mind Is Deranged.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 30. (Special.)
Dazed and quite unable to give a coherent
account of his experiences, Willis Smith
a student in the University of Kentucky,
who mysteriously disappeared three
months ago, turned up unexpectedly at
his home in Owensboro, Ky., today. He
talked ramblingly of being forcibly taken
from the university, carried off to W
consin and held prisoner in a cave In
that state by four men. His brothers and
sisters did not press him today for a de
tailed account of his life since he dlsap
peared. Smith's mind seems clouded, and
It is suspected the story of forcible re
straint In Wisconsin may be a figment of
Imagination.
Smith's unceremonious leaving created
a sensation here in the middle of Sep
tember. Large rewards were offered by
the family and students for his recovery
Detectives came from far and wide to
loin in the search. Newspapers made
feature of the quest. All torts of sensa
tional stories emanated from the uni
versity and town. Smith had been the
victim of a hazing shortly before, and
it was feared his mind was unbalanced by
his experience.

Tell of Frequent Rows.
MEDIA, Pa., Dec. 30. The trial of Mrs.
M. Florence Erb and her sister, Mrs.
Catherine Beisel, for the murder of
Captain J. Clayton Erb, progressed rap
Idly here today. Nearly the entire morning
of the trial was taken up with the serv
ant In the Erb home at the time of the
tragedy.
She said Mrs. Erb, Mrs. Beisel and her
self had spent the evening of the tragedy
at the Village Green Hotel, nearby, where
they had several drinks. Returning to
the house with Mrs. Erb, Miss Matsui
heard quarreling and later a crash of
glass. Then there was an Interval of a
few minutes during which Mrs. Erb tel
ephoned for her sister to come to the
house from the hotel. Shortly after she
arrived the shooting occurred.
Found in Faint.
Yesterday's contention of the District
Attorney that Mrs. Erb may have done
the shooting was not sustained by the
testimony of the witnesses. Describing
incidents subsequent to the shooting, the
witness said Mrs. Beisel jvas. found In a
faint on the floor near the dead man.
and when revived asked: "What will
they do with me for this?"
Later she asked the same question of
her sister, and Mrs. Erb replied: "I
don't know what they'll do with you.
Leave It to God and trust In him."
Ten witnesses wero examined, among
them the servants in the employ of the
Erb household and some of those who
Investigated the crime. Lawyers for the
defense said the testimony tended to sus
tain the contention that Mrs. Beisel, as
she has maintained from the first, fired
the fatal shot.
Direct Testimony.
There was no direct testimony, however.
to uphold tier contention that she acted
in self-defense.
The testimony In no manner associated
Mrs. Erb with having done the shooting.
Quarrels and fights at Red Gables long
before the tragedy were described by the
servants, and one witness testified that
Mrs. Erb had said that her husband
once threw her down stairs. That she
feared her husband and always slept '
with a revolver under her pillow, was
also testified.
