Enrhquake Knocks Down Houses
Death Lint Appalling.
Naples, Oct. 26. Ravaged by an
earthquake, volcanic fire and a
flood the provinces of Naples and Sa
lerno today present a desolate scene.
Authorities are seemingly appalled by
the destruction and are practically In
active. It Is admitted the fatalities
yesterday were probably heavy. A
number of fishing vessels were
wrecked and probably 250 fishermen
drowned by the tidal wave' that swept
the Bay of Naples and the Oulf of Sa
lerno. The dead on the island of
Ischla, off Naples, will probably ex
ceed ISO. On Che slopes of Vesuvius,
new lava streams are flowing and al
so mud streams, some of which are
30 feet deep. The renewed activity of
the volcano has caused . doxens of
houses In Naples to collapse due to
the earth subsidence during the quake
last night. It Is believed the worst
Is over and that the eruption will sub
side now The mayor of Casamlccu
ola reported the volcano Bpmoso as
active In 18S2 this volcano destroy
ed Caslmlccola and killed 1700 people.
Yesterday an avalanche of stone
and mud rushed down MX Vesuvius
above the lava line of the eruption of
1906. It swept all before it as far as
the town of PortJcl It wrecked the
tram line and engulfed nearly a score
of victims.
The hurricane caused much de
truoton along the coast of the prov
ince of of Salerno. The town of Cetera
on the gulf of Salerno, Is reported to
have been destroyed. Twelve bodies
have been taken from wrecked
houses. There are many Injured.
Amalafla and Corrento also suf
ficed considerably. The reports place
the list of dead n the slorm sone as
high as 200.
Minister of Public Works Saechl
and Admiral Leonardl are surveying
the devastated provinces today with a
view to securing government aid. A
cloudburst swept Mt. Vesuvius today.
The fires within the mountain are
roDorted dying down but conditions
closely resemble those which usually
proceed violent eruptions.

"GRANDMA" RERNIIARDT IS
. GETTING ALONG IN YEARS
London, Oct. 25. "Grandma" Sar
ah Bernhardt has at last come to a
realization that she Is getting along
in years, and with that realization
has come the thought of death. Pos
sibly It Is because she has just cele
brated her sixty-fifth birthday, pos
sibly because she hns recently become
a grandmother, possibly because she
knows that the golden voice with
which she once .thrilled her audiences'
is gone beyond recall but the truth
Is that within the last few weeks the
"divine Sarah" has aged "rapidly. She
Is -still a superb actress, and on the
stage she continues to seem ithe im
personation of eternal youth.
Despite premonitions of death
which have troubled her of late, Mmc.
Bernhardt continues preparations for
her American tour. Recently she has
declared that she expects to die In
Amerca, and sbe will take with her an
elaborate casket n which her remains
are to be shipped back to Tier beloved
France.

Reports Itcacli Civilisation That Big
Balloon Landed In Country Where
Men Could Not Possibly Survive.
Toronto, Oct. 25. All hope for the

believed It was the America II by of
ficlals of the Aero club In St. Louis
who are conducting a search for the
missing aeronauts. The balloon was
seen by several persons headed east
ward. The forests are so thick that
those who heard It strike the trees

B.
TARKTNGTON'S NOTION
OF WOMEN'S PRINCIPLES
New York. That the moral sense
In woman is lower than In men and
that a woman's lack of that moral
sense Is given Its true, its ugliest. Il
lustration In a wife's stealthy search
of he rhusband's pockets, Is the be
of her husband's pockets. Is the be
ellst and playwright.
Mr. Tarklngton was asked If he
did not think the American woman
had a higher moral standard than
the American man.
"No, I don't," he answered. "Wo
men certainly have a different moral
and ethical standard from that of
men, and perhaps I consider it a low
er one. I think rather that most
men think that way. Of course, we
get along nil right by making allow
ances and I suppose the women them
selves are used to it In their dealings
with each other. But I very much
prefer the men's standard.
"Women Invariably have a less
keen sense of humor than men. How
many wives are there who consider
themselves perfectly Justified In read
ing their husband's letters, even In
burrowing through their pockets for
those letters. And how few men,
comparatively, would think of med
dling with their wlve's correspond
enceT In the big things perhaps wo
men are ss much to be trusted as
men, but not In the numberless fine
points.
"If two men are renlly friends, eith
er one would commit almost any sin
In the calendar, so long as It doesn't
Include breach of friendship, and yet
his friend will stick by him. Women
seldom grasp this principle of friend
ship that you love a person for what
he Is to you, not for what he does or
does not to other people.

ords Tills Afternoon Johnstone
Out of Sight.
Belmont Park, Oct. 25. The new
Wright racer was the sensation to
day at the aviation meet. Orvllle
Wright drove It around the park
course twice in better than a mile a
minute. The crowd went wild" while
they watched the " tiny racer play
rings around the bigger air crafts,
and pass them as though they were
standing still
At one thirty Johnstone and Hoxey
both ascended for the first hourly al
titude record. Johnstone disappeared
after ascending 5500 feet.
J. Armstrong Drexel yesterday es-
tabllshed a new altitude record by
ascending to a height of 7,105 feet. He
arose above the crowd like a hawk
circling the moors, so high that he
seemed almost Immovable against the
blue. His descent was swift and he
landed safely In the middle of the
field.
The best previous American ree
ord was 6.175 feet, made by Walter
Brooking at Atlantic City, and Drex-
el's own best record made last sum
mer In Great Britain, was 6.760 feet.
At the time it was a world's record.
The world's altitude record now Is
9.186 feet, held by Henry Wynmalen,
a Hollander.

New Name for Northern Sea.
Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 24. Now that
Hudson's Bay has become definitely
the exclusive possession of Canada, by
tthe award made at The Hague, and
a railroad Is to be built to its shores
connecting with steamers to Europe,
an agitation has been commenced for
changing the name of the great body
of water. Hudson's Bay Is not a bay
alt all. but a sea, and the third largest
sea of the word. Many names have
been suggested, but It Is likely that
Canadian sea will be the name to ap
pear on the maps of the future.

DENIAL TO CHARGE
' .
Colonel Roosevelt Delivers Three Ad
(lresHos In Which He Declares John
Dl.x Has Been Director of Six Big
Trusts for the Past 18 Months
Dlx Dclarcs Statement Is Fake and
Demands Apology Explains nis
Connection. i
Blnghamton, N. T., Oct. 25. That
John A. Dlx, democratic candidate
for governor, , has been a director of
the so-called "Wall paper trust" for
the past 18 months In spite of Dlx's
statement of last Saturday to the con
trary, was the principal new point em
phasized by Colonel Roosevelt yester
day in each of the three speeches de
livered In behalf of the republican
state ticket.
The colenel was really supposed to
be engaged yesterday In th study of
scientific farming at close range. His
speech making was merely Incidental.
He rode 96 miles in an automobile and
visited farms between talks.
When Roosevelt appeared on the
balcony of the hotel to which he had
been taken for breawfast he began his
speech by referring to court records to
show that while Dix became a direc
tor of the Standard Wall Paper com-
pany in June, 1907, the final decis
ions decaring the wall paper com
bins illegal was not rendered by the
supreme court until Fbruary, 1909.
Mr. Dix, he said, either did not know
wn&t his company was doing or else
he was not frank In his statements,
Dix Denies Charge.
Albany, N. T.. Oct. 25. Repeating
his assertion that he is not and never
had been connected directly or lndi
rectly with any "wall parep trust.'
John A. Dlx, democratic nominee for
governor, in a statement made last
night, demands from Roosevelt "the
apology which one gentleman offers to
another for even Involuntary misrep
resentation." Dlx declared that he never had any
connectloln with the company which
was a defendant In an action before
Ithe supreme court. That company, he
said, went out of business in 1903 and
the second i Standard Wall Paper
company of which Dix Is now a direc
tor, was organized and bought, among
other properties, the plants and manu
factured goods of the old company.
"This whole business," said Dix
"affords another example of the reck
less manner In which the former
president of the United States misuses
the great standing which he achieved
by hie election to misrepresent those
who oppose him In any way." -
SHERMAN PASES UP
TAFT IN WASHINGTON
Washington, Oct. 25. Vies Presi
dent Sherman passed through Wash

olina and called on the war and navy
departments but failed to pay his of
ficial respects to the president. This

believe he avoided Taft purposely be
cause recently Taft - repudiated his
stand on the charmanshlp of the re
publican state convention Incident.
Taft at that time practically charg
ed Sherman with misrepresentation
and since the publication of his crit
csm, Taft and Sherman have not com
municated with each other.
