0 OTE : ROCK ISLAND ARGUS FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1010. 12 BLAMED FOR QUAKE : .J Party of American Baptist Clergymen Set Upon by Italian Mob. BARELY ESCAPE HANGING Soldiers Come to Rescue In Time- Premier Apologizes When Facts j Are Presented. Rome, June 17. Details of the es cape of a party of American Baptist clergymen from the hands of a" super stitious mob at Avellino, at the time of the recent earthquake, have been laid before Premier Luzzatti by James P. Stuart of St. Louis, who was sent by the American board of Baptist missions to Italy to investigate the Baptist mis . sion in this country and who returned a few days ago from the province of Avellino. Mr. Stuart reported to the premier that the situation in that district was critical owing to the struggle between Catholics and Baptists. On the night of the earthquake he and his compan ions, he said, were brutally attacked. Blamed Baptists for Quake. The populace seemed to attribute the quake to the presence of the Baptists, and a crowd numbering into the thou sands set upon the Americans with the avowed intention of hanging them. "The police officials," said Mr. Stu art, "wanted us to leave the province immediately and secretly, but this we refused to do, as the Italians would have said that we had fled, and we would have lost what we have already accomplished. "Later, however, we took our depart ure according to arrangement in a pub lic manner, but we were guarded by 200 .soldiers with guns and bayonets as a protection against the 5,000 or more persons who lined the streets, yelling, cursing and threatening us." Premier la Apologetic. Premier Luzzatti urged upon Mr. Stu crt the advisability of avoiding any re taliatory measures or any demonstra tion which would be apt to disturb the peace. He expressed the opinion that the ac tion of the Italians was due more to their panic stricken condition because of the earthquake than to any enmity against the Americans. Mr. Stuart has decided to postpone his return to the district in order to al low the excitement to subside. City Chat A MOTH. On wafts of mingled myrrh and musk I flutter up and down the dusk; I see the pale gold primrose break The sheathing beryl of its husk. An entity that cleaves and clings, I taste the rose's inner springs: At the weird gleam of marish fires I singe the pollen from my wings. Remote, scarce tangible, and shy, Elusive as a dream am I A little haunting dream of love That pauses as it wanders by. Light as the spindrift of the sea, At dawn I faint, at dawn I flee Into the vague, the outer void, Like a blown wraith of memory. Clinton Scollard in the Metropolitan magazine.
