REPLYING to Governor Heyward's
letter of inquiry as to his power in the
matter of the Black-Lyon affair, the
attorney general advised in effect that
the governor had the power to remove
Black; but suggested that 1t would be
good idea to ask the investigating
committee for its evidence and set a
time for hearing of the case. At the
request of the governor, Mr.. Lyon
made the necessary affidavit and the
date of the hearing was fixed for next
Tuesday. The general belief is that
Governor Hayward has good ground to
remove Black from office and the
probability is that he will have no
hesitation in the discharge Of his duty

OF course everybody knows that that
$4OO salary is no inducement to any
man TO seek a position on the state
board of control. 1t is clear that diff
ferent candidates have paid more than
that in the conduct of their respective
campaigns But one thing that Is not
exactly clear is whether or not there
has been real competition for those as
piring for the place. The recently
published correspondence between
Leon F. Bamberg and whisky houses
seem to indicate that after director
has been turned down he continues tc
have as much say-so as before. Al
this is suggestive of the idea that the
graft is kept we'll within the control
of a close organization who so manage
that they are sure to win out either
going or coming. And this organiza-
ton has become a power in the politics
Of the state.

S, Chaplin, who has just completed

good things. but in my opinion they
do not work on the proper lines to
accomplish lasting results. There are
so many roads in the country that need
improvement that their cndeavor in the
direction Of the purposes for which
they are organized is lost in their effort
TO improve the entire roads of the coun-

Grandeur and Horror Mingled in
Spectacle Presented by VesuvIus.

NAPLES, April The inhabitants
of the villages In the vicinity OF We
suVius are in q condition bordering on
panic. Many homes have been aban'
doned for the open air. although there
has been a thick fog all day and thu
atmosphere has been uense with vol
canic ashes and the fumes Of subteT-
ranean fires. The churches are
crowded day and night with people
praying for delIverance from an i'm
pending peril, manifestations of which
are heard and felt in explosions and in
Iemblings of the earth, which are
constantly recurring.
The main stream of lava proceeding
from Vesuvius Is 200 feet wide, and it
advances at times at the rate of 81
feet in minute, the intense heat de-
stroying vegetation before the stream
reaches 1t.
The peasants of Portici, at the west
foot of Vesuvius, cleared their grounds
OF vineyards anu trees In the effort to
lessen the danger from fire, and re-
sisted the progress of the lava to their
utmost. The population of Boscotre-
case, on the southern declivlty of the
mountain, have sought safety in fight,
and Boscoreale, to the eastward. is

calm their fears, but their ar
guments go almost for nothing when
renewed earthquake shocks are ex-
perienced.
With the danger and horror OF the
situation aside, Vesuvius presents one
of the most splendid sights magma
able. The mountain of fire, whose
speech is by thunder and whose acts
are destruction, seems like an enrag-
ed giant determined to make the pig
mics of the earth feel the might Of
his wrath. Here and there on the
mountain side stand the blasted
trunks of pine trees, their bare
branches outstretched as though In
protest against the devastation the
volcano has wrought.
Prisoners in jail on the mountain
side went mad with terror and muffin
ed, and were only partially Quieted
by being brought here. But their
fears have been communicated to the
prisoners here, who may rebel at
any moment. The situation is crit
ical
Breathing is momentarily becoming
more difficult, because of the posion-
GUS fumes and smoke, while the hot
ashes which are falling tend to make
life a burden.
Contrary to expectations, the sea
has not yet shown signs of being af-
fected by the phenomena, but fears
are entertained that tidal waves may
yet come, and many craft have put to
sea. Visitors to Naples are avoiding
the hotels on the sea front, and the
people living there are beginning to
leave for higher attitudes.
Though there is much misery, up
to the present time there have been
no fatalities.

POLICY HOLD
Frs VOTE
AT ELECTIONS OF THE MUTUAL
LIFE COMPANIES.
Drastic Steps for Bringing It Out Fa
Vored by Many of the State
Commissioners.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The replies
which the Truesdale Investigating
Committee of the Mutual Life Insur
ance Company received from the In
surance Commissioners of twenty
seven States on the subject of bring
ing out a larger policyholder vote at
the annual elections, and thus secur.
! ing real mutually, were made public
yesterday by President Peabody.
Most of the Commissioners and Sup
erintendents seem to be in favor of
taking drastic measures to bring out
the policyholder vote. Few of them
like proxies.
w. D. Vandiver, of Missouri, wrote
that proxies should be handled by an
organization of policyholders in each
State. He fears that the companies
might take advantage of the publica-
ton of the list of others.
w. ]. Clay, of Texas, advocates a
vote by mail or beginning with pri-
mary representation. He would have
the trustees nominated by 'compe-
tent committee"
Eugene ]. Mckinney, of Louisiana,
would have one or more resident trus-
tees from each state.
Benjamin F. Grouse, of Maryland,
advocates the formation of local pol,
icyholders associations throughout
the country and would have the State
association the sole means of commu-
nication with the home office. e. c..
Cooper, of North Dakota, agrees with
him, as does VIM. A. Wright, of Geor-
gia.
Henry r. Prewitt, of Kentucky,
would have conventions at the State
capitals select delegates to attend the
annual meetings.
Zeno M. Host, of Wisconsin, sub
mitted a detailed plan of mutualiza-
ton" He advocated voting by mail
and not by proxy. The nominations
should be made by a committee and
filed thirty days before election. He
would have copies of the ballot mailed
to each holder.
Edward L. Liggett knows of no way
Of making the election general. He
says that the Commissioner should be
an insurance man and. an accountant. |
Reau E. Folk, of Tennessee, advises
a division of jurisdiction" with the
right of the policyholders of each jur-
lsdiction to select member of the
Board.

The scene at night is one of mingled
grandeur and horror, as from the sum
NIT of Vesuvius there leaps a column
of fire fully thousand feet in height,
the glare lighting the sky and sea fol-
many miles. Occasionally great masses
of molten stone, some weighing a ton.
are elected from the crater.
The village Tore Del Greco. which
has been eight times destroyed and as
often rebuilt, is again threatened, and
the inhabitants are in exteme terror.
Signor Msttenucci, director of the
observatory, is working iudefatiably.
He has had military engineers estab-
lisn telephone connection between the
observatory and points within the zone
of the volcanic activity. The director
SAID to the Associated Press today
that, although the eruption presented
grave menace, he did not believe it
would reach the villages. Indeed, he
said, the present volcanic activity was
not altogether unmixed with good,
for if it had not come to pass violent
and sudden eruption. having far
wider radius might have occurred.
