sympathy and grief at the terrible dis
aster. The government relief measures
that were intrusted to' a parliamentary
•committee, were adopted by a vote of
406 to 5. The dissenting vote* were
Kxceted by howls and hisses, while pro
longed applause followed the announce
ment of the result.
JSome of the members who partici

• ision of the government" to Intrust
.it to the military authorities. •

which may be made for the reception
of the American warships.
Admiral Sperry will place his ships
n.t the disposal of the king and gov

SPERRY f S FLAGSHIP
ANCHORS AT NAPLES
NAPLES, Jan. 10.— The United States
battl^ehip Connecticut arrived hero to
day. Her sister ships of the special
squadron sent td the relief of the earth
quake sufferers, the, Vermont, .Kansas
and Minnesota, accompanied the Con
necticut to Measina, but did not come
to Naples. They proceeded to Vllle
franche. where they are due tomorrow.
Owing to the fact that the r whole
country is In mourning no salutes were
fired,. The sailors manned the sides of
the Connecticut and flags were, dipped.
Ambassador Griscom was aboard. The
Italian admiral and port officers visited
the' Connecticut to pay their respects
to Rear Admiral Sperry and express
appreciation for - American sympathy
and aid. Admiral Sperry will return
the call to the duke of Aosta and other
officers tomorrow. Admiral Sperry may
go to pay his respects to the king.
Already many Italians in the. United
States are applying for transportation
for their .relatives In Sicily and Cala
bria, and whil« . it . is . thought .that the
relief could not be better employed than
in aiding the. homeless refugees to make
a new start In' life" In America,' there
are legal complications, which might
have to/^ttV settled 'at Washington.^

WIRELESS OPERATORS
IN CLOSE COMPETITION,
Point Loma and Local Station
Trying to Establish Record
.' Wireless operators^ on . the .."Pacific j
coast /are vying.;: with each. other in
an effort. to break the transcontinental
wireless record. The strongest rivalry
for this honor has developed between !
the operator at' Point Loma in southern'
California and the corps of 'operators ;
employed 'in the Russian hill .station
'of the United wireless; company in this
city. Thus far -the local station has
achieved two notable victories, having
established regular wireless communi
cation between this coast and Honolulu
and In having caught brief messages
from a lonely Isle in the Japaneseem
pire. Since it is more difficult to-trans
mlt aerial' messages J over land,'! the.
greatest achievement:,will be, in- the
establishment of communication f. with
Pensacola," : \ -
The race for Pensacola through the
air began on January 7, when the op
erator at Point Loma requested that all
other coast stations "keep off. the line
until? Ponsacola was "found."; This
message only served to stimulate In
terest in the race. an.d as the word was
passed along from station" to station,
the operators decided to "get" Pensa
cola, and as a result there have j been
many . attempts *made to) bridge the
transcontinental gap. Enthusiastic 'and
ambitious young operators assert; that
the feat can be performed. .

PRIEST MAIvES APPEAL
Rev. Father Terence Caraher, at
whose church, l St. Francis, more .than
$100 was raised'yesterday, made a plea
for the' eradication of church lines un
der the broad 'banner 'of charity in
alleviating the sufferers of the Italian
earthquake survivors in his sermon
last night. He spoke of the beautiful
and productive country which had been
destroyed and- described his journey
through Sicily and southern Italy sev
eral years ago, dwelling -on, the. price
less g architectural treasures centuries
old which lay In ruins. He chose his
text from the last chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles, the' eleventh to four
teenth verses, >*in" which- the journey of
St. Paul to Rome was. described.. The
city of \ Regglo . was mentioned by the
apostle and was a flourishing place at
that time.i* - ; \ \u0084,.; ; ......
s^ "The Sufferers "are for, the most part,
of our 'own church and "religion," said

SOCIALISTS SCORE
WRIGHT'S DECISION
Ask Workingmen to Renew
Boycott That Caused Lead
, ers to Be Sentenced
One Speaker Calls; the Justice
"a By-Prpduct of the i Buy
and Sell Product"
Denouncing the decision of' Juslice
Wright in the Gompers, Mitchell, and
Morrison contempt' of, court : cases as a
blow aimed not at individuals, but at
the '.entire -laboring^class, the socialists
of; San Francisco, assembled in Dream
land, rink, yesterday adopted resolutions
calling upon " the workingmen of the
co untry , to^- repeat the ' acts . for which
ihe labor leaders were sentenced. These
resolutions, '""* which , have -d also been
adopted | by -the . socialists : ; of eastern
cities, bid 'defiance' to Justice Wright.
-In" the resolutions tho ;;'tfrorkinjrmen
are called upon" tt> "answer; this attack
by;a vigorous "enforcement of the boy
cott 'aprainst the Buck stove and range
company and other non-union concerns;
to organize politically and fight against
the aggressions of organized capital."
The labor press of the country is called
upon to print prominently the name
of the' Buck company. as an unfair con
cern.. Justice Wrljsrht's decision Is de
nounced as-an attack upon free speech
and free press: as "a covert attempt to
set aside the bill of rights by judicial
legislation," and therefore an invasion
of the constitutional rights of the
people.
-Addresses of protest against Wright's
action were made by "Austin Lewis of
Oakland, William McDevit, organizer for
the .socialist party; Harry Ryan, a so
cialist of San Jose, and J. C. Goodwin,
who presided.
Upton Sinclair, the novelist and so
cialist writer and dramatist, was un
able to attend the meeting at Dream
land rink, but sent a letter to the
gathering. He predicted that the ex
perience of Gompers and Mitchell
would cause them to become socialists,
Just as Eugene ' F. Debs, "he said, be
came a socialist after his experience
with the federal courts.
McDevit facetiously inquired: "Who
Is Judge Wright?" and replied with the
assertion that Justice Wright "is the
product— the buy and sell product — of
Senator Foraker, who in turn Is /a
product of Standard oil."

Issues Public Statement and
Gives Reasons for His
Resignation -
Patrick Rroderlck.f former superin
tendent of street.", issued a statement
last evening in which he denied that he
left the city employ because Mayor
Taylor did not appoint him to the va
cancy in the board vt public works.
After reviewing tha facts of. hla em
ployment-by the Street repairs associa
tion and his subsequent appointment as
superintendent of streets at the earn

of a long' cherished desirp to take up my own
business where I left it two yeara *go.
,lt was not a ca.«e of "disappointed hope»."
as inisht be inferred from the uncalled for
criticism of the honorable Mr. Taylor.
My eaiarles — $100 p*:r month from the Street

board of public works — almost equal the pay of
a commissioner. I may b<» accused of -»tolatinif
