General contractors have been asked for bids on the construction of the $250,000 building for the Salt Lake City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Franwool-growin- g An untold number of lives Naples. were lost and many villages in southern Italy were destroyed by the gigantic storm which swept in from the Tyrrhenian sea. The storm's force began below Naples, extended with fury against the province of Calabria the toe of the Italian boot and even crashed against the northern shores of Sicily, where the city of Messina was destroyed by the gigantic earthquake of December 28, 1908. This storm was a portion of the tremendous atmospheric disturbance which during twenty-fou- r hours had killed scores in a Portugal cloudburst and wrecked many fishing smacks off the coast of Brittany. Fragamentary reports received in this city reveal that the number of dead may not be known for days as countless fishing vessels had gone to sea before the storm broke. Some may have outridden the waves' fury. There was no flood here at Naples, but the force of the, storm tied up all shipping, no vessels daring either to enter or depart from the harbor during the night. To the southward a gigantic tidal wave, followed by a hurricane, beai against the shores of Calabria, wrecking numerous small crafts caught inshore and destroying tiny fishing villages. The hurricane even extended as far inland as the city of Monte-leon- e far back from the Gulf of San Kufemia where roofs were wrenched from half a hundred houses while the populace of 12000 persons sought safety in the neighboring hills. The little city of Bagnara, on coast as the head of the Strait of Messina, was virtually wiped out by the tidal wave and thousands of acres of vintage land were flooded. It is not known how many of the 7600 population survived, but it is believed most of them found safety in time. Bagnara is especially noted among British and English artists, who have painted thousands of views of Sicily from the hills. Messina, the Sicilian city of 150,000 tuuuijr --wrecked by" the earthquake of a series of 1908, again experienced tremors, followed by a stifling whirlwind. Great damage to property was done by the wind's force. It is believed little loss to life resulted there. The tidal wave swept with great power into the Strait of Messina, but practically all fishing vessels in it were able to reach harbor before the Berlin. The reichstag has accepted the Locarno peace pacts fully. On the third reading of the bi'l permitting the government to sign the treaties of London, the parliament passed the resolution.

Germany and her principal antagonists in the world war, on December first signed the Locarno treaty and collateral pacts guaranteeing peace in Europe and the submission to arbitration of any disputes that may arise between them regarding their frontiers. The contrast between the signing of this momentous pact and the peace treaty of Versailles six years ago was marked in two respects. There were none of the INQUIRY FINISHES WORK o WITNESS PANEL IS EXHAUSTED AND SHENANDOAH HEARING COMES TO END May Be Recalled After Courtmartial Proceedings Are Closed; All Witnesses Are Used Col. Mitchell Washington. Writh the possible exception of Colonel William Mitchell, the panel of witnesses in the navy's long investigation into the wreck of the airship Shenandoah has been exhausted and the court adjourned, subject to the call of its president. Judge Advocate Leonard will examine the testimony given by Colonel Mitchell before the army court martial trying him here and will then decide whether it is likely that Colonel Mitchell can give testimony germane to the Shenandoah inquiry. Colonel Mitchell was called before the naval tribunal last month, but after he had been denied the privilege to make a statement before the oath had been administered, he refused to take the oath necessary to qualify him as a witness. At the sitting the naval court heard a denial from James H. Collier, chief aviation rigger on the Shenandoah, that he had told Major Frank M. Kennedy of the army air service that four .tubes connecting the gas cells had been closed up before the ship was wrecked. He also denied that he had told the army officer that others in the crew would not admit the gas cells had been ruptured before the wreck. Major Kennedy was a witness before both the Mitchell court and the naval tribunal. Upon the comparison of Collier's testimony before the army and navy tribunals, the court held that there had been minor differences in the rigger's account of the accident to the airship, but after examination of further testimony by Collier before it, the court changed its mind.

Negro Porter Served Five Presidents Washington. Spencer Murray, negro Pullman porter, who died here at the age of 67, served five American presidents on their Journeys over the continent. Murray was a particular favorite of President Rosevelt's and also made numerous journeys with Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, and Taft In his thirty elplit years of service. He was assigned to President McKlnley's party at the time of his assassination. His friends recall, too, that he served the bridal party of Grover Cleveland and Representative Nicholas Longworth and had charge of the cars In which Admiral Dewey traveled across the continent on bis return from Manila.

They signed gladly, with smiling faces, in striking contrast to that other occasion when the delegates of the reich appended their signatures under compulsion with white faces registering a mixture of fear and anger. The ceremony was carried out in a spirit of optimism which was hailed as auguring well for an era of peace throughout Europe. To the click of motion picture cameras and a blaze of Kleig lights, Chancellor Luther of Germany, Priemer Briand of France and Foreign Secretary Chamberlain of Great Britian entered the famous golden reception room of the foreign office arm in arm, conversing and smiling.
