impossible that the eruption of Mount

of the sunsets at Hawaii, is having his

mainland is being made at the rate of
twenty-six miles per day. Over month
ago 1000 miles of it had been completed.

shows that matter of money will not
be permitted to stand in the way of its
plans and that the cable may be ex-
pected about the time scheduled.

St. Louis. Mo. September 1.-The principal items of interest today in con- nection with the investigation that is being carried on by Circuit Attorney Folk into the alleged poodle combines were the return of former Delegate William Tamblyn from Cleveland in custody of an officer and the sessions of the grand jury. Before being placed in a cell Tamblyn asked to see MT. Folk. His intention was to tell all he knew about the doings of the combine in the house of delegates, but he finally decided not to say anything at this time, for the circuit attorney told Tam blyn that if he desired to make any statements about the matters that were being investigated he must do so volun- tarily without hope of clemency. MT. Folk said that he had all the evidence necessary to convict the members of the house combine.
 In talk with an Associated Press representative Circuit Attorney Folk said that almost every one of the in- dicted members of the house of dele gates combine has offered to turn states evidence, but that he declined

to accept more than two or three with a promise of clemency.
 The grand jury held two sessions to- day. At each session a number of members of the council that passed the city lighting bill in 1899, in addition to Robert McMath. former president of the board of public improvements. and the Hemens brothers, electrical con- tractors, were called on to tell what they knew of the transactions connect ed with the defeat and passage of such measures.
 All day rumors were rife that indict- ments would shortly be found against members of the council combine. but the grand jury adjourned until tomOr- row without taking any such action. There was quite a furry when the grand jury adjourned for luncheon and four members of the city council were detained. It was believed they were 10 be held as prisoners, but later the dis trict attorney stated that their deten- ton was merely for the purpose of hay ing them on hand at the opening of the afternoon session.
 MT. Folk says the grand jury will continue its investigation into the light ing scandal for several days.

BEAUMONT FIELD
 BURNING UP
A Fire Which Cannot Be Controlled Is
 Raging.

Beaumont, Tex, September 1.-The great volume of smoke which is flowing in from Spindletop, there is a grave fear that a great loss will be sus- tained if the field is not entirely de- stroyed. The fire started early in the evening in some waste oil along the Texas and Sabine tracks, and burned about sixty feet of trestle. This was gotten under control, and it was be- lieved that all danger had passed, but in the meantime the fire had been ccm- municated to the field, and number of huge settling tanks, containing thousands of barrels of petroleum, have already exploded, and others are re- ported as being in the direct line of the fire, which has spread over a wide area. The ground is saturated with oil, and there is no chance of stopping the progress Of the flames tonight.
 The fire is sprea ding rapidly. and 1t is believed the whole field will be ignit- ed before daylight
 A telephone message from Gladys, a station at the oil field, says the whole of the Keith-Ward tract, embracing several acres and containing a large number of wells, has been burned over and it is believed that some wells have caught, though this is not yet posi- lively determined, as no one can ap- proach to find out
 At 1 o'clock the big tanks belonging to the Higings company are burning. Runners have been sent out in that direction for the men who own them or represent the companies. The streets are filled with people, and thou sands of them are now nn the way to the field in every sort Of vehicle ard afoot.
 There are 40 producing wells in the | field, some of which are buried under the earth as a safeguard against fire.
 At 1:30 o'clock this (Friday) morning | the telegraph operator at Gladys says
 he fears he will be compelled to leave | his post, and all means of communi- cation will be cut off. Workmen on
 the hill are standing around unable to l dc anything, even toward protecting i that portion of the field which is no. yet on fire. The entire apparatus of the fire department is being loaded on cars to be sent to the field.
 A tank known as the Higgins has
 blown off it's toF. and oil is running along the ground and flames are being communicated to the other tanks.

 sURRENDERs
Chased and Crippled He Gives Up the
 Life of Bandit.
= irTlx1E.

Denver, Col, September IA spe- cial to the News from Tucson, Ariz., says Burt Alvord, the famous train robber and outlaw, voluntarily surren- dered to Sheriff Lewis of Cochise county and Billy" Stiles, an old pal, who turned states evidence and joined the Arizona Rangers. Rounded by rangers in the United States and rurales in Mexico, broken in spirits, his right arm shattered by bullets so that he can no longer use a gun, Alvord decided to give up the desperate life he has been living and trust to the leniency of the law.
 He notified Stiles of his willingness to surrender, and met Lewis and Stiles across the line and surrendered, and was brought to Tucson for safe keep ing. He is charged with attempting to rob the mail at Cochise in 1899 and at Fairbanks in 1900. A charge oi train rCbbing, a capital offense, also hangs over him. He left his companion, Bravo Juan, after a futile attempt to hold up the International express at Hermosillo last week. Juan is the last of the famous gang a tlarge.

JOHN W. GATES
 STILWELL'S PURSUER
A Fight to Keep Control of Guardian
 Trust Go. Out of Latter's Hands

Kansas City, Mo-, September H. When the application for the discharge of the receiver of the Guardian Trust company came up today for hearing be- fore Judge Amos M. Thayer of the United States circuit court it was de- veloped that John W. Gates and his associates had begun a fight to pre- vent the restoration of the company to the control Of those stockholders iden- tified with Arthur E. Stilwell.
 It was the Gates contingent that busted Stilwell from the presidency of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad (now the Kansas City South ern), which Stilwen had built, and threw it into the hands of a receiver. It was also through the efforts of the Gates people that Stilwell over a year ago was busted from the presidency of the Guardian Trust company. which he had organized.
 Today when Gates attorneys argued to the application of Stilwell to have the Guardian Trust receivers dis charged, they did so on the theory that StilweIls move was to place the com pany in the hands of his friends and eventually to merge it with the United States and Mexican Trust company, which was organized to promote the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient road another property projected by Stilwell This the Stilwell people deny, saying that the affairs of the trust company have progressed so favorably that il now could be conducted more econom- ically without a receiver. The inten- tion it is said, is to eventually wind UT the affairs of the company.

 This gives Stout twenty-one of the forty-five delegates in town. Returns from the country precincts last night Indicated that the whole country had practically gone for him, and his friends are claiming that he will have more than 100 votes of the 132 votes in the county convention.
 Among the precincts heard from which have gone for Stout are: Mesa, 10 votes; Tempe. for Stout for Nor ton; Wickenburg, 5 for Stout; Glendale, 9; Alhambra. 4; Johnstone, l; Orme, 2: Cartwright. for Stout, 1 for Sanders Nortcn; Riverside, for Stout: Peoria. 1; School districts and 21, l each for Stout; district A. 2; Osborn, 3; Gold Coin, 1; Angel Camp, 1; Arlington, 2. Varying reports came from Buckeye. According tp one Norton had carried it, and according to another it had gone for Stout. No word was received from Agua Caliente and Gila Bend, but the Stout managers said that things had been fixed there so that they could not lose in either. There are more than a dozen small precincts yet to be heard from.
 Some of the victors are discussing the granting of amnesty to the candi- dates of the Young Mems Democratic club. Some of them do not believe it will be safe to take any of them in out of the wet. They figure that it would give the insurgents an opportunity to trade with republicans against Stout and candidates who are not liked by the club. They believe that the best thing to do with this organization nov is to crush it.
