directed toward the sending of a great
quantity of building material for the
construction of huts along the Sicilian

The generosity of the American peo
ple in coming to the aid of the earth
quake sufferers Js the predominating
feature that is now attracting attention
here. The feeling of gratefulness ex- j
tTids from the king down to the most i
lowly subject. In accepting in behalf
of til* Italian nation the ship which
the American people, through the Red
Cr.iss fund, fitted up to mitigate the
•distress of the sufferers, the king said
\r\ Ambassador Griscom: •
KING THANKS AMERICANS \u25a0
"Our people will be delighted to hear
of th.is mark of international humani
tarianism and will follow with the
keenest interest the work of mercy that
will be performed by the Bayern."
The king further informed the Amer
ican ambassador that he had just read
with the greatest appreciation a tele
trram 7iotifying the government of the
nppropriation of $800,000 in behalf of
the victims.
Premier Giolotti in speaking of this
penero?ity said:
•What the I'nited States has done j
on this occasion is magnificent and
Khali not be forgotten. The United
States stands ilrst. outdistancing all
others in sympathy and generosity. Our '.
gratitude is so great that we can not,
find words in which to express it."
Signor Tittoni, the foreign minister.
Fa id:
"Never before on any occasion has
there occurred such demonstration of
sympathy as that of America."
Count Tavernia, the president of the
Italian Fled Cross, declared that the
orrerinprs coming from America were
unprecedented.
**Th*> Americans must be convinced,"
lie said, "that' the amount they send
' yie will be entirely devoted to the
prompt relief of the sufferers. I am
V.Prsonally pledging myself that this

PEOPLE SAVED AFTER
. . DAYS UNDER RUINS
[Special Cable lo The Cell]
MESSINA, Jan. 6. — I have just re
turned after a pilgrimage along the
• "alabrian coast. After leaving Iteggio
1 pushed as far as Melito. In addition
.to the destruction caused by the earth
quake large sections of the coast line
iverc swallowed up by the sea. The
3and has subsided and the sea reaches
rs far as the main road, which skirts
the co&st.
\u2666 Pillaro. formerly the fashionable
watering place of Regglo, is nothing but
a heap of ruins. The villas have disap
peared and the population is dead or
<lipperprd.
In certain towns and villages fires
«r ere Ftiil smolderinj? and the country-
Fid** at -night is dotted here and there
v.-ith the camp fires of survivors.
Every time the poor people meet a
stranger they surround him and em
brace him tenderly and ask, "How
many were you?" "How many now?"
"I had Just time to flee with my two
fhildren." or, "I lost my whole family
t>f 61X."
Sad exclamations are heard on every
Md<>. One grewsorae task has been un
dertaken energetically in coast towns.
\u25a0 At numerous points on the sands bodies
*>rs piled In heaps and covered with
disinfectants. Such boats as remain
afloat. are employed Jn transporting
bodies to various burial places. The
remcteries are almost full and thou
psnds of bodies are buried one on top
*>f the other 5n huge trenches.
Disinfectants are being sent as rap
idly as possible to Messina and to the
Calabrian coast. Two torpedo boat
loads of disinfectants are sent every
day, one for the coast north of Regglo
and the other for the south.
The destroyer B«»rsag!ier« .carried me
to Melito. There. the vessel landed the
first disinfectants for that town. Moijto
suffered less than other towns. The
survivors need planks lo construct tem
porary shelters more than they need
disinfectants. . The battleship Regina
Marphcrlta. with the duke of Genoa,
arrived at MeFsina, as woll as the Cretec
nnil tin? San Siro, all loaded with lime
and disinfectants. .V hundred tons of
lime comes from Palermo every day.
The authorities arc doing everything
possible to prevent disease.
Kxcavations in the ruins of Messina
continue. . Yesterday, the eighth day,
«n ag-ed woman was rescued alive. The
attention of relief parties was dra^wn
by the slpn of an arm protruding from
* mass of debris where a young- girl
and. her two little brothers had lived
*ijrht days between two fallen walls.
The courageous girl found means to
light a fire and make coffee to keep
alive her brothers.. .
Cases of rescue, however, are. rare.
One man rescued had only time to ex
claim "Thank you. lieutenant, 1 ' before
he fell dead.

Since the contributions have begun

probable that Treasurer Knight will

to draw from, the sum will greatly
exceed $10,000 a day during the re
mainder of this month at least. Out
of the 64 mayors of cities in the state

President' Wheeler's inquiry was
prompted by the suggestion^of Consul

SLAIN PASTOR PUT
IN CHURCH STOVES
Dismembered Body of Rev. John
, J. Carmichael Found Near
Columbus, Mich.
Terriffic Struggle Shown by
Blood, Murderer Disappears,
;. v Taking Horse
[Special, Dispatch to The .Call]
DETROIT. Mich... Jan. 6.— The dis
membered ; body of Rev.. John J. Car
michael.; a -Methodist- minister," was
found "today.partly consumed by \ flre
In the ; two heating stoves, of one of
his three ..churches near Columbus In
the southwestern part of St. Clair
county. > . ,r ". • . -
He had been slain in the church,
supposedly ,with Sa \ hatchet and dirk,
which were; found in .the church. The
pastor and his murderer had had a ter
rific struggle. Blood covered the floor
of the church,: the pews, and even the
altar. One 'window 'was broken and
chairs smashed. Red stained garments,
later identified as belonging ~to Rev.
Mr. Carmichael,- were torn to shreds
and scattered about the structure.
SAILOR SUSPECTED OP CRIME
There is. absolutely no clew as to the
slayer. Some think he was a maniac,
others suspect a sailor who was seen
In the town yesterday. "Whoever he
was, he escaped, after driving the min
ister's horse to Pine River, where it
was found today. The sailor has dis
appeared and, is being hunted.
Rev. Mr. Carmichael was pastor of
three churces— one at Adair, one at
China and; a third at Columbus. He
resided with his wife and three chil
dren at Adair.
"I am going to drive to Columbus to
arrange a revival," he told his wife
yesterday morning. "I will be back
tonight."
PARISHIONER FINDS lIODY
From that moment all trace of his
movements have been lost. Early this
morning his body was found in his
church at Columbus by Myron Brown,
one of his parishioners.
While Brown was waiting at the
cross roads to keep an appointment
the cold drove' him to seek shelter in
the church. He was surprised to find
the church doors unlocked, and. upon
opening them, was terrified to see the
evidence -of the murder*
Without investigating further. Brown
fled to t his home, where he had a key
to the church. 'lie returned and
locked the doors and hurried to the
village of Hickey, from which place
he notified the sheriff's office at Port
Huron.
HATCHET AND DITIK USED
On their arrival at the church the
authorities found parts of the dismem
bered body in the two stoves, located
respectively at the front and rear, and
discovered in one stove the head of
what apparently was a new hatchet,
the handle of which had been burned
off.
A d!rk was also found in the church,
and it is believed that dirk served
for the murder while the hatchet was
used to cut the body to pieces.
The minister's horse" was found, to
day tied to a tree in the village of
Pine River, the: dead preacher's over
coat being discovered In the buggy.

'COUNT' IS CHARGED
WITH EMBEZZLEMENT
Louis Hamon, Known in Amer»
ica as Palmist; Is Fugitive
From Creditors
Mrs. Newell of New York De-
Clares Man Misappropriated
$500,000 tt Hers
PARIS, Jan. 6. — "Count" Louis
Hamon, formerly known In America and
Europe as Chelro, the palmist, and be
fore that as plain John Warner, 13 a
fugitive from France tonight, charged
with embezzlement, and his sumptuous
offices where he edited a newspaper
called the American Register, and con
ducted a bank and other enterprises, to
which' Americans loaned capital, are
empty, creditors having descended and
seized everything.
The complainants against Hamon are
Mrs. Julia P^ Newell and Miss Josephine
Pomeroy, formerly ot New. York, who
declared. that they turned over to Ha
mon stocks to. the amount 0f, 5500,000,
on which Hamon agreed to raise a loan
through London banks of $150,000. They
allege, however, that Hamon neither
negotiated the loan nor returned the
stocks. .
Hamon has been a dashing figure In
Paris since his arrival here six years
ago. lie lived in costly apartments In
the Rue dv Bois Bologne. It Is reported
mystery attacnes to his title. He claims
to have inherited It from his father,
who received it from tho pope. His
real name Is said to be L. E. Warmer.
A statement issued at the bank says
that as a result of the proceedings the
credit of the institution has been ad
versely affected and the local branch
would close temporarily. Other
branches of .the Institution are located
in New York and London.
Since arriving in Paris in 1902. when
he transformed himself from "Chelro.
the palmist," to "Count Hamon," he has
had easy access to society. One of his
special friends was a man known as
"Abbey de la Fresnay," whose scholarly
and agreeable manner secured for him
entry into the most exclusive circles.
There are reports that Hamon and
friends, as the result of their high
connection, were able to arrange many
marriages among people standing high
In the Anglo-American colony.
Hamon is penniless, according to his
secretary, who further stated that he
had lost $60,000 in recent operations
and that he had been trying to pay all
his creditors, including Mfs. Newell.
The case, however, It Is said, does not
come under the jurisdiction of the
French laws, as the investment has
been entirely placed In England.
