Airplanes Give Signals By Asnoiinlrd Press. Catania, Italy June 19.—The great lava torrent from Mount Etna, bear ing In Its flow great masses of earth and volcanic stone, has already reached the houses on the outskirts of the town of Lingauglossa. Green fields, orange groves and vineyards have been swallowed up, and for miles around the atmosphere Is suf focating with volcanic smoke an a rain of black smoke and ashes which Is covering the countryside like a pall. Several of the small houses In Einguaglossa have been shaken down b^iihe frequent earthquake, and the is directly in the line of the lava and is doubtless doomed to de Itruction. Lava 30 feet Deep. The molten stream is traveling about 40 yards an hour, and unless Some miracle happens, Dlngaglossa will go under during the night. Con fronting it is a lava bed 800 yeards wide and nearly 30 feet deep. Smaller torrents of lava, diverted from the central stream, threaten the villages of Randnzzo and Bronte, from which so many tourists make the ascent of Ktna. Franeavilla. Cati glione, Giardini and Fiume Freddo. The work of clearing the threaten ed towns is being carried out with the greatest energy and admirable organ ization. Discipline is necessary to induce the terrified inhabitants to abandon their beloved homes, hut their removal is carried out with sympathy and kindness. Airplanes are being used for the first time to watch the progress of eruption and special signalling stations have been established at various strategical points, giving confidence to the peo ple in the fact tlfat they are being protected. Special units of the Red Cross, with all supplies, have been dispatched to care for the homeless wanderers and provide food and shel ter for them. New Stream on West. A new stream of lava on the west ern side of Etna menaces Giarre Junction on the Etna railway. Ac cording to leading volcanologists, six new craters have opened, only two of which, however, are of the first im portance. In these can clearly he seen the lava in frightful turmoil be Ing ejected in irregular spurts amid vast clouds of fumes and ashes, form ing two streams of liquid death, one of which is roiling down on Llnguag lossa, the other moving toward Sciaro Pass, liut theratening no inhabited points, though causing immense dam age to the vineyards, and nut planta tions, which constituted the wealth of the countryside. The speed of the latter stream Is so slow, however. It is hoped it will not advance far, but rather form a kind of lake In one of the valleys. Heart Rending Episodes. Numberless heart rending episodes are. being enacted in this theater around Etna. The affection of the peasants for their homelands renders evacution a difficult and delicate task. In one case, a woman refused to abandon her vineyard, declaring that her whole life had been given over to its cultivation, that its existence was her existence and its death her death. They endeavored to carry her away, but she rushed back to the trees and embraced and kisspd them singly, call ing them her children. When, finally, she was removed, It was found she had lost hef reason. The exodus of the Inhabitants be pan soon after the first eruption and a steady line has been slowly travel ing in the direction of safety for the last two days. When they started Jrorrt their home, the people were loaded with household treasures, but —-''uaily along the road these have abandoned. Priests Pliant Prayers. Village priests, bearing crucifixes or the statue of the patron anint. ac company the sad procession and en courage the parishioners. The sound of chanted prayers rises above the rumblings of the eruption and the patter of falling stones and cinders, the Stricken people seem in dumb despair, hardly conscious of whither they are going, invoking the saints and inquiring tremulously. "What have we done to he visited by this awful scourge?" A solemn service invoking mercy was held In the ancient beech for est at Castlgllone. Owing to the shade of the trees and the darkness caused by the ashes, the light was too feeble for the reading of the gospel and torches were utilized. The near ness of the stream of lava was such that before the end of the service the edge of I he forest caught Are; the air was so hot. and vitiated hy sul phurous fumes that breathing was difficult and some of the people were bo alarmed at the danger that they started to depart, at which the old priest officiating rebuked them and lengthened the service by adding prayers for the faint hearted.

Preus Winner in Minnesota Nominated by G. 0. P. in Senatorial Primary—Johnson Is Farmer-Labor Candidate. St. Paul, June 19.—Governor J. A O. Preus, who defeated Magnus John son in the last gubernatorial contest by a margin of 14.000 votes, again will oppose the latter in the July 16 final election, when a successor will be chosen to the late Knute Nelson, Minnesota senior United States sena tor.

Johnson's margin over Dr. L. A Frltsche. mayor of New Pint, was not so great, hut much of the for mer's recognized territory had not been heard from. Carley was an easy victor over Francis Cary on the demo cratic ticket. In the republican contest Hallam carried Ramsey (St Paul) decisively, but Preus received a majority In Hen tiepin (Minneapolis). The Hallam vote In Ramsey conn ty was expected and Hallam follow ers hoped It would he ample to bring victory. Congressman Thomas D. Schall, republican, made the surprise run of the primary.
