Towns in Lava
Path May Escape
Severe Danger
Airplane Survey Indicates That the
Flow Towar Sea Is Lessening;
Dynamite Is Used.
Taormina, Sicily, Nov. 9. The
lava flow of Mount Etna slacked its
advance toward the sea today the
seventh day since the craters were
unloosed. The situation may be de
scribed a3 momentarily stationary,
with the lava stream moving slowly
but inexorably forward, making less
progress as it cools and gets distant
from the supply base of boiling, cas
cading cauldrons from the vantage
point above.
Renewed hopes that some of the
threatened towns mav escape de
structions was "brought back this
morning by Prof. Ercole Ponte, who
flew over the region in an airplane.
The town of Giarre is the center
of bustling confusion. The refugees
are mostly concentrated at Giarre,
Riposto and Acireale, on the Catania
side, with medical services and soup
kitchens organized to care for them.
Lemon Groves Destroyed.
It is estimated that three hundred ,
acres of lemon groves were destroy
ed last night in the lava advance,
and they were worth 750 thousand
dollars. Engineers today continued
dynamiting and blasting huge crat
ers before the lava fingers and this
may help slacken and contrate the
progress of the lava morass. I
The last vestige of the town of
Mascali melted into the immense lava
furnace last night. This small quar
ter known as the San Antonio sec
tion lay high on the eastern edge
of the lost town and was not caught
in the first flood tide of lava. It
consisted of two scores of houses and
the church of San Antonio.
Accompanied by two Black Shirt
officers I watched the lava spread
over San Antonio all last night in
the fearful light of the molten stream
and burning lemon groves. We ap
proached the town down the road
from Fiumefreddo. Along the road
were groves of lemons and pretty
houses, all of them soon to be burn
ed. All had been evacuted days ago.
Heat Is Terrific.
A few feet from the lava the heat
was terrific. In the door of the
church of San Antonio in the back
prayer. His face in the ruddy light
showed suppressed anguish. The
church had been evacuated, but the
priest kept with him there, until!
the last moment, images of St. An-j
thony, hoping they would comfort
the people. More walls fell into the
square and several houses crumpled.
Only a few peope remained, and
we hurried back down the road.
At Fiumefreddo I met several
peasants from the district below
Santa Venera who told me of nar
row escapes from being caught in.

On the face of the returns re
ceived from the first congressiona'
district of Nebraska Congressman
John H. Morehead of Falls City, de
mocratic . candidate for re-election
has weathered the storm and has r
plurality of 980 with all of the pre
cincts now reported. There are still
the mail ballots to be counted but of
these the congressman will undoubt
edly receive a good break and seem
assured now. of continuing in the
position that he has so effectively
filled for the past six 'years.
The counties outside of Lancastei
and the city of Lincoln rolled up a
great vote for Morehead in face of
the general republican sweep and the
popularity of the congressman in the
capitol city cut heavily into the Bur
kett strength and reduced the vote
for the republican candidate.

expected at the time that Mr. Pickett
had the last word from the hospital.
The many friends here of Paul will
trust that he may soon recover and
be back in his old time health.

RUMANIA STILL IS UPSET
Bucharest, Rumania, Nov. 8.
Nicholas Titulescu, pressed by the
regency to terminate Rumania's
political crisis and restored credit
abroad at. any cost, made valiant
efforts today to form a national coal
ition cabinet, but late tonight had
not succeeded.
He spent almost the entire day in
earnest conversation with M. Brat
ianu, whose resignation as premier
was requested by the regency a few
days ago, and Juliu Maniu, peasant
party leader, urging them with all
of his diplomatic persuasiveness to
"bury the hatchet," and put their
country's velfarc and honor above
mere party differences.
Still smarting under his summary
dismissal from the cabinet by the
degency, Bratianu told M. Titulescu
bruskly that he declined to enter
any cabinet formed either by Titul
escu himself or Maniu.

Hoover Planning
Two-Month Visit
to South America
Details of Proposed Trip not Set
tled Would Sail on Battleship,
Hoover Announces.
Stanford University, Cal., Nov. 9.
A good will trip to certain Latin
American countries is proposed by
Herbert Hoover before he returns
to Washington for his inaugural
March 4.
Announctment of the intention of
the president-elect was made almost
' simultaneously at the White house
Jin Washington and at the Hoover
home here today.
"I have had the suggestion of a
visit to certain Latin-American
countries before me for some days,"
said the statement issued by the
president-elect. "It has been cord
ially supported by President Coolidge
and Secretary Kellogg. There are
consideration of the time required
and the matters which delay final
determination for a few days."
Although the plans necessarily are
indefinite at this time pending diplo-,
matic exchanges between the state,
denartment and the countries of
South America he proposed to visit,
it is the understanding that depart
ure will be made from San Fran
; cisco late next week on a battleship,
j probably the Maryland, flagship of
the United States battle fleet.
Would Take Two Months.
Should Mr. Hoover follow the
usual routea for such tours of South
America, histrip would require about
two months as it would taKe mm to
all of the larger countries of the
southern continent, both on the west
and the east coasts.
The expectation is that from San
Francisco the president-elect will go
to Columbia, Ecuador, Argentina,
Peru, Brazil, Chile and the
larger
countries on that continent. After
completing his tour of the continent,
Hoover, it is believed, would board
another battleship at an eastern
South American port and return to
the United States.
ThP Hlrrtinn of his future travels
and the manner in which he would
spend his time between the date
of his departure from South Amer-
ican on the return trip still is a
