Shock in Early Morning
NVESTICSTE
Rome, Jan. 13—Ten thousand persons are estimated dead in the
earthquake which destroyed Avezzano in the province of Aquila
today, while throughout Italy much damage was done by general
disturbances.
In other cities violent shocks were felt and at Naples, where a
panic among the people ensued. It is reported that many houses
fell in Caserta, northeast of Naples. All the glass in the' observa
tory on Mount Vesuvius was broken-
Throughout the day details of the catastrophe arrived, and it
was apparent that the disturbance in the province of Rome and
Abruzzi was greater than at iirst believed.
Avezzano, the town where the greatest number of casualties are
reported is sixty-three miles east of Rome, and a short distance
from the base of Mount Velino. It is an ancient town and has a
population of ten thousand.
Most of the towns damaged are situated virtually in the heart
of Italy, in a line running northeast and southwest from Rome, and
astward toward the Adriatic sea. The country in the province of
Rome and the department of Abruzzi, containing Avezzano, is
mostly mountainous, but densely populated.
Estimates of the results of the disaster which wrought death
and ruin to numerous small towns and cities in the province of
Rome and the department of Abruzzi, virtually demolishing tjj.Q
entire city of Avezzano, where the toll is terrific, are now totalling
thousands. The latest estimates put the loss at twelve thousand
killed and twenty thousand injured, according to the best in tor
nation.

made that the state needs no more

Senator Hyland will be able to square
himself with his constituents. By

that he will do the state more harm
than he can do good the balance of the
