sHROUDED IN VOLCANIC SMOKE
Business in St Vincent Suspended. Part of the
Island Desert
(Ry the Associated Press.)

Kingston, Island of st. Vincent,
Monday, May 19.-Another great eruption
of the Soufriere volcano occurred last
night Throughout Sunday the adioln-
ing districts tr4mbled and some of the
shocks were felt here. Smoke issued
from the craters and assures Of the
mountain and the atmosphere through
out the island of st. Vincent was eX-
ceedingly hot.
While the worshippers were returning
from church at $50 p. M, an alarming
luminous cloud suddenly assembled many
miles high, in the north of the island and
drifted sluggisEly to the northeast. In
cessant lightning fel! on the mountain
and one severe flash seemed to strike
atcut three miles from Kingstown. The
thunderous rumblings in the craterS
lasted for two hours and then diminish
ed until they became mere murmurings.
The remainder OF the night was clear.
Ashes fell from 10 o'clock until mid
night.
The inhabitants were frenZied with
fear at the time of the outbreak. dread
ing a repetition of the catastrophe which
caused such terrible loss of life on ~his
island. They ran from the streets into
the open country, crying and praying
for preservation from another calamity.
No one on the island of ST. Vincent slept
that night.
Reports received here from the districts
, in the vicinity of the volcano say that
the rHmhlings in the craters We're ap-
paliing. and that streams of lava flowed
down the mountain side.
The continuous agitation of the volcano
and the absence of rain has caused the
/ vicinity of the afflicted villages to look
like portions of the desert of Sahara.
A thick. smoky cloud overspreads the is
land. All business is suspended here.
The streets arc empty and every one is
terror stricken. The feeling of suspense
is painful. People pass their time gaz-
ing at the northern sky, whore the thup-
; der clouds gather and the mournful
roaring Of the volcano is heard
Ashes and pumice are falling slowly
in the out-districts.
/ There is an alarming report, from a
creditable source, that Enham Mountain
near the MarriaQua Valley, an old .p-
parently extinct crater, is showing signs
of activity. This volcano is only six
miles from Kingston.

Voted,
(By the Associated Press.)

Dallas. Texas, May 21.-Today the Gen
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church South, rejected the minori-
ty report of the Publishing Committee
on the War Claims, and adopted what
is known as the McMurray substitute.
TIE McMurray substitute mildly CEN
sures any agent of the church who may
have used improper methods when the
war claim was pending; ratihes the
former action of the College of Bishops
in their offer to the Senate to return
the entire sum of the war claim, If that
body so voted makes this action of the
bishops the legal action of the General
Conference and of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. This latter provision is en-
bodied in what is known as the Jordan
amendment, which created debate last
night and during this mornings session.
A special committee was authorized TO
be appointed to revise and make more
perfect and clear the provisions of the
entire document. Until the recommen-
dations or changes to be made by the
special committee are before the General
Conference, it is impossible to state for
a certainty just what position the war
claim is in, in its final stages.
The following committee was appoint

THE NEW LIGHTS
The Committee Recommends
Raleigh Electric Co.
Will Need 1856 Itclosed Alternating Arc Lamps
atS55.f5 Each. This Means Saving
Over $500 Per Year.

Last night the Light Committee made
it's belated report to the Board of AL
dermen on the matter of street lights
1t recommended the acceptance of the
Raleigh Electric Conpany's bid to fur
nish more than $50 inclosed arc aIternat-
ing current electric lamps of 1.20 candle
ed that 155 of these lamps would light the
city perfectly. This will make a total
cost of $S.641.25 per year, which is a
saving of $828.75 per year, and will only
cost 1891 per year more than the city is
now paying for light, with the old style
of arc lamps and open gas jets.
Referring to the opportunity offered to
the city by the bid the report says
"By reason of the competition aroused
to secure the contract for lighting the
city, the city now has the opportunity
of getting the improved inclosed arc, al
ternating current, electric lamp at SO
per lamp cheaper than it now pays for
the old style open arc lamp. Other cities
are now paying from $75 to $97 per lamp
for the same improved as the city now
has the opportunity to put in. Your
committee feels that it is but fair to
Mr.. Hillyer, of the Raleigh Ice and Elec-
trio Company, to state that it is largely
due to his efforts that the city enjoys
this advantage"
The board decided to adopt the COM
mittee's report.
1t was voted to invite the State Fire
