Catania. March 26. The.

fires of Mount Aetna have
subsided
slightly today, the violence
of ths
eruptions is decreased and the flow
of lava from the rifts In the moun
tain have begun to slacken. Scien
tists announce the greatest danger is
over for the present.
Scenes throughout the night on ths
mountain and its vicinity were awe
inspiring. The skies were lit by
flames from the craters while cav
ernous rumblings and sharp deton-.
ations broke the silence. The molten
flood, congealed and rock like by day,
was alight with the red glow of tha
internal fire and lambent flame
played over the mass.
The greatest danger to life now is
the recklessness of tourists who are
besieging authorities with demands
for passes through the lines in order
to get a nearer view of the eruption.
So little fear is displayed by the tour
ists that the troops are compelled to
establish a dead line and threaten to
shoot anv persons who pass It with-
I out permission. Many persons wer
rescued by the soldiers after they had
been overcome by the sulphurous
fumes or partly suffocated by the

Two Meu Claim Womau.
Night Officer Billy Shear was called
upon to act as arbiter in an unusual
controvtrsy one nisht this week. It
seems that a woman who had been
working in the Greek restaurant on
East AUa street took advantage of
an opportunity to become a wife and
was married. Nothing was said to her
employer who was evidently under the
impression that the woman was his
wife, for when she failed to show up
for work, the Greek sought the service
of the night officer to locate her.
While he was endeavoring to explain
his contention to the officer, the wo
man and her recently acquired hus
band, came along and the play was
on. The Greek endeavored to per
suade the woman and the officer that
she was his wife, while the woman In.
sisted that she knew who was her
husband and this honor she bestow
ed upon the second man, to whom de
prize was finally awarded.
