A SCIENTIST AT TIE CRATER.
Professor Hill Making PAIRING Investigations
and Reporting Results
(By the Associated Press.)

OBy the Associated Press.)
Fort De France, Monday, May 26.-Pro-
fessor Robert L. Hill, United States
government geologist and head OF the
expedition sent by the National Geo
s aphical scoiotv. has just come in from
q darirg &nd prolonged Investigation of
the volcano in Martinique.
Prof. Hill is the first and only man
who has set foot IN the area of craters,
assures and fumaroles. and because of
his high position as scientist his story
is valuable. He reports as follows:
The zone CT the catastrophe in Mar
Unique forms an elongated oval, con-
tanning, in land about eight square
miles of destruction. This oval is
partly over the sea. The land part is
bounded by lines runnirg from lie Pre-
cheur to the peak of Mont Pelee thence
curving around to Carbet. There were
three we'll marked zones:
First, a center of humiliation. in
which all life, vegetable and animal vas

part of ST. Pierre was in this zone.
second, zone of singing. blisterins

was the new crater midway between the
sea and the peak of Mont Pelee where
now exists a new area of active vulcan

molten lava.
The salient topography of the region
is unaltered. The destruction of St.
Pierre was due to the new crater. The
explosion had great superficial force,
acting in radial directions, as is evil
denced by the dismounting and carrying
for yards the guns in the battery on the
hill south of St. Pierre and the statue
of the Virgin in the same locality and
also by the condition of the ruined
houses in ST. Pierre.
According TO the testimony of somc
persons there was an accompanying
flame. Others think the incandescent
cinders and the force of their election
were sufficient TO cause the destruction
This must be investigated.
This is the first positive scientifi,
statement on record in the Observer &C
counts. Prof. Hill has now started on
horseback for the volcano. He will
study the whole affected area and will
try to get to both craters. The under
taking is very hazardous as explosions
may occur at any moment

The SCtP|RE HANNA'S
Only One Anti on the State
Committee.
And He Has Been "ReconciI d." The Platform.
Practically Completed by tie Re-
solutions Committee.
by the Associated Press

Cleveland, Ohio, May 27-The feature
of the Republican State Convention here
today was the unanimity of sentiment in
favor of Senator Hanna. He has been
the center of interest since his arrival
from Washington last Sunday. The con-
ferences of leaders with him continued
today but when it came to the meeting
of the delegates by Congressional dis
tricts the sentiment for him was dem
oDstrated in an unprecedented degree
His friends had claimed Is out of the 81
districts and more than realized their
expectation. 1t is claimed tonight that
there is only one anti-Hanna man Sc
lected on the new State committee and
that he has been reconciled." The drift
of sentiment in all the preliminary
meetings was most enthusiastic for the
Senator and in the convention the dele
gates would not rest until he got up and
showed himself although he insisted that
he would not discuss the issues in ad-
vance of the keynote speech of General
Grosvcnor who is to be the permanent
chairman.
The convention was in session but an
hour and transacted only routine bust
ness. The Committee on Resolutions
Practically completed The platform to-
night.
The only contest in the Committee on
Resolutions was on the Cuban Recipro-
tity Resolution which, as adopted, is an
endorsement of the policy of President
Roosevelt and of the Ohio Republican
Congressman with the exception of Gen
eral Dick In this contest Senator Hanna
has not co-operated with Congressman
Dick. The platform drafted by Dick was
adopted with this single exception and
as modified it will evidently be adopted
by the convention.
