50,000 ARE DEAD
IN ITALIAN 'QUAKE
Continued from Fuse One
have ndded to tho terror ahd thousands
of the rbsldentn of the poorer quarter of
Ilotno have refused to return to their
homes, but remain quartered In tho open
squnres of tho city,
Vnllejs below stricken Avezzano are
now facing a new danger, Tho outflow
of Lake Fucino has been dammed by tho
earthquake, and It Is feared that unless
this speedily can bo remedied a break
will como and the vnlles bo flooded.
QUEEN WINS PRAISE.
Tho Queen, having been forbidden by
her physicians to leave tho palace, bo
cause of tho recent birth of her baby, has
directed that she bo put In touch with
the stricken district by telegraph.
Sho Is making arrangements for send
ing necessary clothing to the women and
girl victims and hns already obtained tho
opening of thousands of privato houses for
the reception of referees. Always tho
Idol of the Romnn people, her prnlscs are
now being chanted by every ono, as It
Is realized that In taking the steps sho
has, she has endangered her own health.
Hundreds of Injured persons are stream
ing into Rome and all of the public build
ings have been ordered opened and turned
Into temporary hospitals to rellovo tho
pressure on the regular hospitals already
crowded to the limit.
It Is now declared that not less than
100 cities, towns and villages suffered
from the earthquake. The number of
persons who aro in need of at least
temporary relief will reach half a million
and It will require several months to re
store tho wrecked district.
The chief reason for the largo loss of
life was the construction of the houses,
which wero of stone, for the most part
plied on each other without mortar to
hold them together. When tho earth
quake came these houses collapsed.
The American Ambassador, Thomas
Nelson Pago, has thrown open tho
Palazzo del Frago, his official residence,
for the uso of refugees and ho nnd all
of tho Embassy stnff are aiding where
ever possible.
Unlfflclal estimates of tne damage run
ns high as J100,00O,O00. In some places,
particularly Rome, where serious loss
was caused to famous buildings, the dam
age can never be repaired.
These losses have been Increased by
tremors more or less severe that have
been felt ever since tho main earthquake
shock. Nearly 200 such tremors havo been
recorded In the last 48 hours.
Thirty thousand Italian soldiers are con
ducting the rescue work in the stricken
district. All yesterday afternoon and last
night thoy dug for the dead and living In
tho ruins of Avczzano and Sora, where
tho loss of llfo was heaviest.
Their work last night was facilitated as
far as possible by searchlights that had
been sent from Rome on one of tho trains
carrying nurses, physicians and medical
supplies.
KINO WEEPS FOR LOST CITY.
King Victor Emmanuel went to Sora
from Avozznno early today and took
charge of the work In the ruins in the
former beautiful town of 20,000 Inhab
itants. The King wept when ha saw the
desolation wrought by the earthquake
there. '
There was a heavy fall of snow In cen
tral Italy last night. This increased tho
sufferings of the tens of thousands of
homeless. Hundreds have been stricken
with pneumonia and It Ib feared that the
death roll of the earthquake will be
greatly Increased by disease.
Refugees from tho district of Avezzano
say that not mora than 10 per cent, of
the population escaped.
"Tho destruction of tho city wan only a,
matter of seconds," said one refugee.
"In less than a minute It was changed
from a beautiful, peaceful, prosperous
city into a vast oemetery, where piles of
wrecked houses and uptorn earth rose In
a monument to the wrath and power of
nature. Over tho wreckage wandered
hundreds of stupefied survtvera searching
for their dead or for entombed relatives,
who, they hoped, might till bo living."
NO GHOULISH ACTS.
Deputy Sipari, who waa one of tho llrot
publlo officials to visit the scene, said:
One feature of tho disaster, from which
a crumb of comfort can be derived, was
the complete absence of ghoulish acts.
Although the safes of three rioh banks
were lying unguarded In the streets of
Avezzano for hours, while the town was
completely Isolated, not a single robbery(
waa reportea. wnoiner pieuams nwuro
was tho vigor with which survivors
started the work of rescuo withoutwalt

The King, who arrived at Avexxano
yesterday afternoon, spent hours Inspect
ing the ruins and comforting the sur
vivors, some of whom wero dug out of
tho ruins In his presence. Tho King sent
a telegram to Rome after Inspecting the
wreckage, asking for more soldiers to
carry on tho relief work.
Hundreds of men, women and children
wero burled allvo and tho work of res
cue waa pushed to the utmost to try to
save their lives. In some quarters of
Avezzano muffled shouts could bo heard
coming from tho Interior of piles of
wreckage, showing it to be a living tomb

been overwhelmed In tha debris, but not
killed outright,

passed a pile of debris and heard a sound
resembling a human voice. Soldiers were
put to work at once and soon the torn
body of a young man was brought out.
Although on tho point of collapse, as
soon as he saw tho King the young man
raised his band to hia head in a salute,
and cried! "Hurrahl"
The King was so overcoma at this act
of devotion that he wept, and, turning

QUICK RESPONSE HERE

minutes more than 300 was subscribed
to one of them, started by the newspaper
La Voce del Popolo, 906 Carpenter street.
A call for the organization of n Central
Committee to tako charge of all the sub
scriptions hns been sounded by another
Italian paper, L'Oplnlone, 1011 South Sth

C. C. A. Baldl, Italian Consul deneral to
this city.
There are 75 Italian soclties in this
city and in tho opinion of Frederick J.
Cuneo, Common Councilman from the 3d
"Ward, their combined membership of
more than 100,000 will raise a fund that
may exceed the J75.000 subscribed in this
this city after tho Messina earthquake.
Tho following appeal was Issued by the
American Red Cross Society from the
national headquarters at Washington:
"The press dispatches Indicate that

Joseph Donato, one of the editors of
L'Oplnlone, expressed tho opinion today
that the number of hla countrymen said
to have been killed In the earthquake had
been greatly exaggerated. Mr. Donato
was in the town of AJello, Province of
Cosensa, Calabria, at thetlme of tha
Messina disaster. About 1000 were killed
In that town. Ho points out that first
reports of the numbers killed In tho Mes
sina tragedy were exaggerated.

OF "UNCLE JOE"
Federal Government Will
Investigate Charges of
Gross Corruption in 18th
Illinois District.
DANVILLE. 111., Jan. IS.-Voto buying
and other forms of political rascality on a
scale equaling the revelations made at
Terre Haute, Ind., are alleged to have
scandalized the recent election In the
18th Congressional District, where ex
Speaker Joseph O, Cannon, of this city,
vn returned winner over Frank T
O'Hnlr, tho Democratic candidate. Both
parties nre charged with sharing In an
unparalleled debauching of the ballot.
The Federal Government Is at the head
of tho movement to expose the ulleged
corruption. Inspectors have been sent
from the Department of Justice to "lift
the lid" that was clamped down on the
work of election crooks immediately on
the closing of the polls last November,
and, it is eald. United States Attorney
Frank C. Dnlley, worked to clean up Terie
Haute, will transfer his activities to Dan

Among the many accusations on whloh
the prospective investigation by the Fed

TWO HUNDRED WITNESSES.
Two hundred witnesses are. Bald to be at
the call of the prosecutor, many of whom
have confessed to various forms of elec
tion thievery.
William 11. Stephens, chairman of the
Progressive State Committee; K. F.
Itoyse, Progressive candidate for Con
gress In 1912, and D. O. WllllamB, Sher
iff of Vermilion County, are the men
who have rounded up the evidence.
Stephens prior to 1912 was a Iteppubll
can leader and knows Just how the
"organization" works. The system In
Vermilion County and the entlrwtllstrlct,
he says, is dominated by officeholders
ami ex-otllceholders who expect to get
In again.
"Buying votes In this county Is a rec
ognized commercial Industry," says Ste
phens. "They are on sale like groceries.
I have seen money change hands, visited
pay-off stations and seen men of wide In
fluence mingle with ex-convicts and gun
men, preparlngg plots to steal elections."
"MILK TICKETS" FOR VOTES.
E. F. Itoyse explained the "milk ticket"
method. "One of the Judges In the polls
Is a cog In the machine," said he. "When
the voter leaves the booth he must have
his ballot so folded that the X can b
seen by this Judge, The Judge signals
the 'fixer' outside that the vote Is right.
When the voter goes out he Is given a
ticket that In common parlance Is called
a 'milk ticket.'
"It calls for payment of 3 or more,
according to his price and influence. This
Is payable Immediately at a pay-off sta
tion. Tho value of the 'milk ticket' is
conditional. If tha candidate wins, there
Is a 'come back' coupon that allows the
voter to collect JS or 110 more. If the
candidate loses, there Is no 'come back'
and the voter receives only the original
price of his vote.
"I have seen votes bought right here
on the streets in my own precinct In a
Congressional election the quotations very
from IS to 120, and a 'come back.' At
city and county elections votes can be
nought for W and t3 and a 'come back.' "

DETROIT'S RAPID
RISE ATTRIBUTED
TO ADVERTISING
E. Phil Merrill, of That
City, Tells How Other
Progressive Centres Might
Enjoy Business Booms.
By r. PHIIi MERRH.Ii
Maneger BliaifttloniU Daparuntnt. Cadillac
Motorcar Company, Datrolt.
Detroit became the hub of the automo
bile Industry simply by advertising Its
wares, From the housetops the cry was
rnlscd, "Made In Detroit and its Best,
and as a result the town has developed
so rnpldly that an Aladdin might have
wrought tho change. You would ask,
"Was It because of advertising that tho
city was really madoT" and I reply with
emphasis, Tesl
This Is how the wonderful city of De
troit gained world-wide fame. Do you
know that the sun never sets on Detroit
made products? This is no exaggeration.
In every country of tho Blobo Detroit
articles nro to be had. I do not care
where you travel, you will find that good
old rcllnble mark, Made In Detroit, ever
prevalent. Not only la the town a great
automobile centre, but It has many other
great plants. Just for example, Dotroit
Is famous for Its
Automobile manufacturing concerns.
Stovo works.
Paint concerns, likewise manufacturers,
Pharmaceutical laboratories (Parke,
Davis & Co.).
Overall factories. '
Corset-making establishments.
And tho largest brass and copper rolling
mills In the world.
All of these Industries have been adver
ting! brnndenst throughout the land, and
ns a result no.irly every one In this coun
try and abroad Is familiar with the things
that Dctrolters construct.
Detroit Is probably best known as the
home of the automobUo Industry. It was
In the city of Detroit that a fow wlso
Investors saw the opportunity for estab
lishing tho place ns an automobile Indus
trial point. With the ndvent of the nuto
mobllo enme tho demand for proper sites
for automobile manufacturing plants, and
ns Detroit made Itself heard concerning
Its water and other natural advantages,
It was not long before the same Investors
wre attracted there, the Auto Car,
Ford, Cadillac and Packard automobile
companies were tho pioneers, and today
you can see the result. It all came about
through tho wonderful channel of crying
your wares, so to speak. Let the other
fellows know what you are doing. You
city fathers, once you attract a good busi
ness, hold It.
Reputable manufacturing concerns in
Detroit delivered the product to please the
public and tho result Is everywhere evi
denced. Detroit made automobiles like
everything else-to please the public.
There you are. The establishment of De
troit ns a centre for various Industrial
plants came about when men of means
took a chance. Again I point to the re
sult. What Detroit has done other cities
can do by advertising. Thoro Is hardly a
city In the world to compare with De
troit's skilled mechanical labor. That's
making n big statement. I realize, but
It is so. ...
After a extensive advertising campaign
the city of Detroit profited to the ex
tent of several automobile manufacturing
r,innB thnt was during the enrly history
of the Industry and once the firms lo
cated, men of wealth took hold and pro
gression was history-making.
Philadelphia Is admirably situated, and
I believe has more nntural advantages
than many other cities. The great city
la nfnr the coal fields, has rnllroad and
other transportation facilities calculatidrl
to bo attractive. There Isn't any reason,
to my mind, why Philadelphia, with all its
beautiful surroundings, wide streets nnd
other advantages, cannot become ns In
dustrially well known as Dotroit Phila
delphia hns a great right to cry, "The sun
never sets on Philadelphia-made goods."
but the world doesn't know It. One word
solves tho question advertise.
Camden has a great world-wide repu
tation. Its advertising factors are the
Victor Talking Machine Company nnd the
Campbell table products firm. These com
panies advertise the city as nothing elsa
would, unless nn earthquake destroyed
the cltj. or some other horrible catastro

Dr. Harte, Director of tlie
Department of Healtk and
Gnarities of Pliilacielpliia, says
"The human foot," the Director says in hie weekly
bulletin, "is one of the most abused parts of the
tody. Shoes should fit the foot. Shoes that are
too large are nearly as had as those that are too
small. The heel of the foot should fit snugly in the
shoe, while the toes should he given just room enough
to spread out flatly and allow free movement.
"The soles should he flexible and should follow the
natural outline of the foot, which is somewhat fanlike in
thape, the narrowiet part teing' the heel and widest at the
toes. Tha heels should he low and hroad. High heels
give the foot an unnatural position, -which cramps the toes
and otherwiie distorts the shape of the foot, tilts the whole
hody farward and gives rue to an awkward and unnatural
gait, which causes the person to tire easily and suffer other
discomforts."
Bad temper, nerrous irritation, fatigue and even lame
ness, is attributed by Dr. Harte, Director of Health, to
ill-fitting shoes.

as being necessary in
