St. Mark's Again in Danger

Rome, Nov. 7. Ominous cracks have appeared in the central doing of St. Mark's Cathedral, in Venice; men are working against time to overhuu the supporting pylons, and the centre of the cathedral has been underpinned.

Experts remain in the cathedral day and night, even having their incols on the spot to avoid delay. Repairs are expected to cost

£500,000.

A few months ago, after ten years hazardous work, it was announced that the cathedral was saved.

Ever since St. Mark's was built, in the eleventh century, it has been known that the building is top-heavy and that water plays havoc with the founda- tions.

The deputy chief of police, Mr. Sebold, reported that admittance was krunted only after the most elaborate precautions had been taken, includ- ing recommendation from a mem- ber who gave the newenmer a card bearing her own number.

Three photographs were required of each member, The new meni

ber was asked to describe the friend who gave her numbered card, and if the description did not talls the would-be patient was told she had come to the wrong

place.

Mr. Sebold said he learned of the club from a giri of 19 who was laken to the Newark City hospital after a relapse. When detectives raided the house green lights flushed in ull directions.
