CHEAPER RATES
ON THE CABLE
Night Message Service To Be Start
ed On February 1—25 Per Cent.
Discount From Day Rates.
Lieut. Dougherty, in charge of the
first division of the United States mil
itary cable and telegraph system, an
nounced this morning that commenc
ing February 1 a night message ser
vice would be started at a discount
of 25 per cent, from the day rates.
It is arranged that the night mes
sage service shall be cheaper but the
operators will only send the mes
sages when the line is not busy dur
ing the night and the delivery will
be made early on the following morn
ing.
The message is similar to the night
letter service in the states, which al
lows for the sending of a letter cf
fifty words at a day rate for ten
words. The service has become very
popular and has provided business
for the night operators who, as a rule,
are not worked to capacity.

WOLVES POOWL
IN RUINED TOWNS
Bodies Hidden From Searchers Found
By Wolves—10,000 Injured Reach
Rome Hospitals
AVEZZANO, Jan. 21.—The suffering
of the survivors of the catastrophe of
last week when the city was destroy
ed by an earthquake are suffering
greatly as a result of the bitter cold
weather of the past few days. The
railroads are still out of commission
and supplies cannot be brought here
with any degee of promptness.
In the small villages that have been
destroyed the wolves have been forag
ing and have eaten many of the bod
ies, which had not been found by the
human searchers, but which the keen
scent of the wolves enabled them to
locate.
ROME, Jan. 21.—It is estimated
that fully 10,000 injured refugees
from the earthquake stricken district
have reached this city and are be
ing cared for at the local hospitals
and in private homes. Thousands of
others who have not been injured but
have been forced to seek shelter and
safety here are being cared for by the
government in the troop barracks and
in school buildings urffil they can
return to their homes.
Many more earthquakes have been
felt throughout the country. All
through the night shocks were felt,
but none of them did damage except
ings to throw down a few of the old
ruins that have been left standing Tor
the historical association connected
with the ruins.
King Victor returned here but is
directing the work of clearing away
the debris and reopening the lines of
railway and the highways so that re
building can be started quickly.
