Survivor of the Recent Italian Earth
quake Has Nerve-Wrecking
Experience in Ruins
Rome, Feb. 9.—Few men have lived
to tell a Stranger tale than that of Mi
chael Cairolo, who was extricated from
the earthquake ruins at Paterno Sun
day, after having been imprisoned for
twenty-five days without food. Cairolo
is recovering from the effects of his ex
periences, whicfh be was able to de
scribe yesterday.
" When the earthquake occurred," he
paid, "I attempted to esoape but found
myself blocked within a stable by the
ruins. Beneath the stable a cellar was
being excavated from the rocks. 1 made
my way into this excavation and so
avoided" being crushed to death.
•'From the moment I entered the
cellar. I Saw no more Light, and I be
lieved I had become blind, as my mind
could not conceive that the ruins cover
ed tlbe cellar so completely as to pre
vent a single ray of light from pene
trating through. For a long time-pT
cannot say how long—my despair in
creased until I became almost frenzied.
I shouted with all my strength until
I fell into an apathetic condition, al
most like coma. This saved mv life,
for had I continued my desperate ef
forts to free myself 1 must have died
of exhaustion.
"B v feeling about with my hands
in the darkness I found a wet spot and
moistened by burning lips. Thus re
vived me, and with my hands I dug a
hole in which water collected, and 1
was able to drink.
"Thus I. manager to exist —how
long I know not, as I lost count of the
days—until yesterday I heard voices
above me. Said one: 'All are dead.'
Another answered: 'Quite so: but let
us recover what we can of our prop
erty. '
"I arou?ed myself to make a sti
preme effort and screamed:
'' 'I am alive, here in the cellar. Mi
ehael Cairolo.'
"Those above me. I am told, thought
it was a ghost, but I continued my
cries and convinced t'hem that a living
man was imprisoned in the ruins. They
came to my rescue and in about three
hours I was free."

DISTANT MURDER DREAM
Sister of Slayer Recalls Details of
Weird Tragedy
York, Pa., Feb. 9. —A story of what
seems to have been a premonition of
the slaying of Mrs. George T. Miller
here last Saturday night by her hus
band,, who later killed himself wh>en
cornered by the police, is related by
Mrs. Anna Miller, of Baltimore, a sis
ter of the slayer.
Mrs. Miller who came to York yes- j
terday and claimed her brother's body,]
said that last Thursday night she had |
a dream, which strangely worried her.!
In it she saw a man with; a revolver in j
his hand, a policeman and two chiH.iten. i
After the tragedy she realized that the:
man she saw in her dream was her!
brother. Tiie two children, she believes,!
were Miller's daughters, who were onlvj
saved from the same fate as their j
mother by B. F. Hibner, who crawled I
with them from a third-stcry window;
and along a narrow ledge to a neigh
bor's roof.
The policeman, sihe says, must have
been Patrolman Ziegler, at wlionn Miller
fired when the officer came upon him in

EXPORTS IN COMMERCIAL
AUTOMOBILES MCREASING
Condition* Improving in foreign Trade
—Cotton and Woolen Goods, Rub
ber Boots, Shoes, Sole Leather and
Some Metals Show Big Oains
Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.—Decem
ber, 1914, exports of manufactures re
gained the level shown by December
of the preceding r*ar, a decrease of 10
per cent, in tinislied manufactures be
ing more than offset by the gains in
manufactured foodstuffs.
In certain lines of mnuufactures, how
ever, the exports during the month of
December, 1914 show phonomanal
gains over those of December a year
earlier, as, for example, in the case
of 'commercial automobiles, the value
of which advanced from one hundred
and one trfransand to three and a third
million dollars; cotton knit goods, from
two hundred and ninetv-flve thousand
to over two million dollars; woolen
clothing, from one hundred and eighty
three thousand to one and one-third
million; other woolen goods, including
blankets, from one hundred and threo
thousand to two and three-fourths mil
lion dollars, and rubber boots and shoes
from eighty-four thousand to eight hun
dreu anil sixty-four thousand dollar*.
Leather goods nlso made a marked
advance, sole leather exports increasing
from three hundred and fifty-four thou
sand dollars in December, 1913, to
three and three-fifths million dollars in
December of last year; upper leather,
from one and three-fourths million dol
lars to over three million, nnd boots
and shoes from 1.234 thousand to
1,288 thousand dollars, while harness
and saddles exports increased from
forty-three thousand to ore and ono
half million dollars.
Zinc continues the large export move
ment which began during the fall of
1914. During thg month of December,
last, thirty-six anil two-thirds million
pounds were exported, as against only
one hundred and thirty-seven thousand
pounds in December a year ago. Metal
working machinery nearly doubled in
value of exports, from 1,350 thousand
dollars in December, 1913, to 2,432
thousand in December of last year;
wire increased from 7SI thousand to
951 thousand dollars: bars or rods of
steel, from 777 thousand to 1.01 S thou
sand dollars, and horseshoes, from a
quarter of a million to threo and tbrcc
fourtlis million pounds
Kurope is taking an unusually large
proportion of the manufactures now
being exported from the United States.
Of the foui and « ne-third million dol
lars' worth of automobiles, including
both passenger and commercial ve
hicles, exported during ihe month of
December. 1914, two and one-half mil
lion dollars' worth went to France and
one million dollars' worth to the Unit
ed Kingdom. Those two countries also
took practically all of the metal-work
ing machinery and England a prepou
derating proportion of the t:ole leather
exported. Denmark was the chief mar
ket for the cottonseed oil cake and
meal exported and England and the
Netherlands the chief markets for the
cottonseed oil which left the country
during the month of December. Prac
tically all of the seventy-four million
pounds of sugar exported during De
cember went to France, and Kngland
and France were the ohi»t destinations
of woolen clothing, blankets and other
manufactures exported during the
month to the value of over four mil
lion dollars.

THOMPSON NEEDS $2,000,000
President of Uniontown Batik Requires
That Sum to Reopen Institution
Uniontown, Pa., Feb. 9. —Josiali V.
Thompson, president of the First Na
tional bank which has been closed since
January 18, is still attempting to raise
money. He needs more than $2,000,000
to reopen his hank and retain control
of it. The bank can bo reopened, it is
stated by bankers here, with only
$4 00,000, but if it is done with the
smaller amount it will mean that many
of the larger depositors will have to
R'grco to leave sieir money in tho banit
for a year, and that, a reorganization
will be effected with Thompson alto
gether on the outside. Many of the
larger depositors have agreed to leave
their money in the bank for one year
niter it reopens.
It is said that Thompson has his
j stock in the bank up as collateral for
i loans. This cannot be taken by its
holders until after Thompson's receiv
i ership is lifted or declared by the
| courts to be invalid. When Thompson
i obtains his First National stock then
I he will be ready for the bank to re-
I open. Thompson's attorneys have been
| in New York attempting to raise money
| but so far they have not met with suc
| cess. It is not believed hero that
j Thompson has any coal deals at a point
where they can be closed soon.
Kxaminer Sherrill Smith has a large

I will be made to Washington for at least

FORCING Of DARDANELLES
URCED TO RELEASE WHEAT
London, Feb. 9.—The "Ohronicle,"
commenting on the conclusions of tbe
recent conference of financial Ministers
of Great Britain, France and Ruseia, in
fers that Britain and France have
agreed to make an ad-ran re to Russia
and remarks: "Of course, the more
final and satisfactory solution must be
to restore t-hie Russian export trade,
and though more has been done by way
of Archangel then was ever ejected,
the derisive stop would be the reopen
ing of the Dardanelles.
"This would not only put Russian
credit on its own feet again, but it
would bring the pric.o of wheat down
with a rush an our own markets. The
two rosults, taken together, are so ex
tremely important that though any
serious attempt to capture Constanti
nople has hitherto been eschewed by
the allies as a bypath, diverting en
ergy from their miaiu goal, it might
well become worth their while, in event
of the war becoming more and niiore
protracted, to make a conclusion in this
quarter.''
The "Times" says: "Wo thiink that
close reading of the announcement, will
suggest that' no general international
loan is contemplated. The joint loan,
to be issued in the name of the allied
Powers, is to cover, it will be seen, ad
vances madto or to be made to other
Powers. The news that financial meas
ures necessary to re-estaiblieh the parity
of exchange between Russia anil tho
other allies, so far as this is possible,
have already been adopted is particu
larly welcome to Russian commerce,
which has suffered greatly, owing to
closing of the Dardanelles at a time
when her northern |>orts are frozen.''
DOUBLE ATTACK PREDICTED
ACAINST CONSTANTINOPLE
London, Feb. 9. — English refugees
from Constantinople declare that the
former battle cruiser Goeben, now
owned by Turkey, was so badly dam
aged bv striking a Turkish mine that
it would be impossible to repair her at
Constantinople. Tho loss of the services
of the lioeiben would reduce the Turkish
fleet to inferiority to the Russian Black
Sea fleet, which is about to be strength
ened with a new dreadnought, con
structed at Sebaetopol.
It is believed that when this ship
joins the fleet Russia will attack the
Bosphorous end of the Black Sea while
the allied fleets attempt to force the
Dardanelles. -
Four torpedobwats of the allied fl-et
have bombarded the Turkish forts in
the Dardanelles, according to an Athens
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company. One hundred and seventv
fonr shells were discharged and two
ammunition depots were set on fire,
says the dispatch.
BRITISH AItJHY USINU 50.000
SEPARATE KINDS OF ARTICLES
London, Feb. 9. —An "eyewitness"
at the British general army headquar
ters in France pays a tribute, in an
article given out yesterday by t<he Offi
cial I'ress Bureau, to the excellent work
the army supply departments, men
tioning particularly that of the ord
nance department, which supplies all
clothing, equipment, tools and machin
ery, as well as arms and ammunition.
•'The ordnance department is a mili
tary universal provider," says the
writer. "It is difficult to say which is
the more striking—the actual mass of
material handled or t'he bewildering va
riety of articles stocked.
"The vastuess of the work of main
taining a modem army may be gaged
by tiie fact that during the past month
the supplies furnished included 450
miles of telephone wire, 530.000 sand
bags and 10,000 pounds of shoe black
ing, while in 10 days the ordnance de
partment supplied 1 20.000 fur waist
coats and 300,000 flannel belts. The
average weekly issue of ointment for
feet is five tons.
"The complexity of the work is il
lustrated by the fact tihat the index of
the stores include 50,000 separate kinds
of articles. Most of these still are ob
tained from England, but some are
manufactured by the ordnance depart
ment in France. The problems of dis
tribution and accounting require a sur
prisingly large staff."

BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is a Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much Meat,
Which Forms Uric Acid
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in thoir effort
to filter it from the lilood and they bo
eomo sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys got sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you rc
liove your bowels; removing all tho
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when tho weather is bad you have
rheumatic, twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you arc obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night/
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
I cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jail Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon .iuice, combined
with lithia, and has beeu used for gen
erations to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
.Tad Salts is a life saver for regular
moat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
