TOWNS RulLT ON CRATES.


Active Volcanoes.
Some Of the wonders OF the volcanic
world were graphically described IN
lecture at the London institution
yesterday by Mr.. w. Herbert Garri-
son, F. r. G. S., who has climbed vol
canoes in all parts OF the world.
1.-THE greatest noise on record he
said, was made by the eruption Of
Krakatoa, in the Straits Of Sunda, be-
tween Java and Sumatra in 1883"
Here are few striking facts about
the eruption that Mr.. Garrison men-
toned:
It caused cloud seventeen miles
high.
1t was heard 1900 miles away.
If it had taken place in Cornwall II.
could have been heard in New York.
Constantinople, st. Petersburg, Cairo
and Greenland
The velocity Of the explosion was
three times that Of an army gun.
1t raised tidal waves 100 feet high
chat invaded the land for five miles.
It, created dust flner than any rock
can be ground by man,
This dust was carried round the
earth for three years in the air.
1t caused air waves that encircled
the earth seven times
It broke windows seven miles dis
tant. IN
The volcanoes of the world form a
"belt of fire. round the earth, and
are rarely more than 300 miles from
the sea. In the few exceptions to this
rule, the volcanoes are near largo
sheets Of inland water This tends
to prove that the proximity Of water
Is one Of the main factors in the
cause of eruptions, and that 1t is the
percolation Of water through tho
earth's surface that leads to volcanic
ACTIVITY -sp--l,s.. 80
Mr.. Garrison explained what he
meant by the belt Of fire. by showing
large map Of the Pacific Ocean ON
which the volcanic centers were mark
ed, forming rough circle, beginning
South America and following the coast
line to Alaska, then round by Kan
chatka, Japan and the Sunda Straits
to New Zealand. In the center of the
circle lies the greatest crater in the
world, In the Hawaiian Islands, which
is nine miles wide
In this belt Of fire. are 300 active
volcanoes, which, said Mrs. Garrison.
IS q very small number compared
with the number once active, the
quiescent or extinct volcanoes mum
bering tens Of thousands.
Among the towns built on old GRAFT
ers Mr.. Garrison mentioned Edinburgh
(Arthur's Seat being the remains Of
volcanic ring), Keswick, Alden, Can
dy and Auckland.
Brentor, in Devonshire, was atone
time, probably within historic times,
as high as Etna, and Etna is calculat-
ed to have thrown out 1000 cubic
miles Of material in historic times.
Among many remarkable photo
graphs shown was one Of boiling
lake in an ice-bound crater nearly
5000 feet above sea level, in New
Zealand Since the photograph was
taken the volcano has tossed the lake
into the air.-London Express.

will be question to be determined

of the criminal division of the Fulton
superior court Saturday morning.
Judge w. r. Hammond, counsel for

Judge Hammond based his motion
for new trial upon certain exceptions
which he took to Judge Roan's charge

Judge Roam held that the verdict OF
the jury was in accordance with the

Investigations now being made by

tentiaries, headed by Senator J. w.

ner, bid fair to bring revelations OF
sensational nature.
Information has been filed with the
investigators to the effect that State
Warden Jake G. Moore and number
Of the convict camp wardens arc gull
ty Of having received various sums Of
money from the lessees of conyicts.
Soon after Investigations were be.
gun Warden Moore rendered his res
ignation, which the prison board will
accept at its meeting in January. Be
fore handing in his resignation the
warden admitted, 1t is said, that he
assisted certain lessees to sub-let por
tons of their allotment Of convicts
at desirable rentals. The warden ex-
planned that he had not Intentionally
violated the rules Of the commission,
but that he had been asked by some
OF the lessees to aid them in placing
portions Of their allotments, and had
done SO purely asa matter of accom-.
mediation.
The alleged practices are said to
have prevailed for years, and 1t is
declared that many Of the officials
have waxed rich upon their incomes.
The money paid the camp wardens is
said to have been for favors and con.
siderations shown the LESSER in the

WANTS 1T PASSED.
President Roosevelt In Favor of the
AIdrich Financial Bill.

Washington, D. c., March SAC
cording to report current tonight on
authority which leaves no reason to
doubt it, the president has unsheathed
the big stick in behalf of the Aldrich
financial bill. He is said to have sum-
moned Senators Beveridge of Indiana,
Nixon of Nevada and Burkett of Ne
braska today and told them that they
must vote for the Aldrich bill, railroad
ing to the report, was that some leg
islation is imperative to put industry
upon its feet, and that the Aldrich bill
is the only measure possible of
change.
This action, while it betrays the
inherent weakness of the Aldrich
measure, assures it's passage in Il
form satisfactory to its author. 1t was
very doubtful, as has heretofore been
said, whether the railroad bond pro-
vision would be sanctioned, even by
the senate, while it was certain that
without some such commentator as
the president has given it, it would be
rejected by the house. The president
has spoken the word which baptis-
mally cleanses it of what the average
politician regards as it's original sin.
Hitherto the president has looked
rather askance at the Aldrich bill.
That he has now come to its rescue
may suggest that he has demanded as
a consideration. an opportunity for
some of those reform bills which are
languishing in committee rooms. 1t
was by such trade that the president
made the rate bill possible.

MARTIN ". L|TTLETON
Is Chief Counsel For the Electric Boat
Company, Charged With I'M
proper Influence.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
Washington, D. c., March 9.-Mar-
tin w. Littleton, chief counsel for
Harry Thaw in his last trial, appeared
today before the house investigating
committee as attorney for the Electric
Boat company, charged with using i'm
proper influence on congressman in
securing a government contract The
hearing of the charges began this
morning.
The rumor is current that should
Representative Lilley fail to make
good his charges a resolution will be
introduced in the house demanding his
expulsion. Such a resolution would
probably end Lilley's career just at a
time when he is about to receive the
governorship of his state. Owing to
an impression that the congressman
has the goods and will make his charg-
es good, members of the house are in
clined to await the outcome of the in
vestigation The result will mean
either the disgrace of one or more
congressman or Lilley's expulsion
from the house.

WILL BE A FAILURE
Is the Opinion of Former Chief Enei-
neer Stevens of Panama Canal.

Special to the Herald.
New Haven, Conn, March 9.-JohI
e. Stevens, former chief engineer of
the Panama. Canal, believes the canal
will be a failure. Though a great bur-
den of expense to the government,
Stevens declares the canal will be of
no commercial value when completed.
He further declares that the idea of
the canal being of advantage in case
of war is absurd.
Stevens fixes 1915 as the date for
the completion of the canal. He says
the canal will be of greater value to
European countries than to the Unit
ed States, and that based on the Suez
income it will not earn enough in
many years to pay for the expense.

Junior Texas Senator Criticises the

Substitute of CuIberson.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, D. c., March 9.-Sen-
ator Bailey of Texas in speech to-
day praised President Roosevelt and
then flayed him. He said the presi-
dent was not responsible for the finan-
cial panic, but accused him of over
riding the constitution. He said if
Roosevelt was much better he would
be democrat, and if he was little
worse he would be obscure. Bailey
then criticised the Aldrich financial
bill and Senator Culberson's substi-
tute, and advocated his own amend
ment providing for the issuance of
treasury notes instead of national
bank circulation as an emergency
measure.

Millions, headed by Edward Abeles.
Mabel Taliaferro, in Polly of the Cir
Gus, was provided with a suitable
understudy and it seemed positive
that little Miss Edith would never
don a circus riders costume and fall
in love with a handsome young
preacher until the rehearsals of her
own company began. AS soon as Mr..
Thompson realized the necessity of
allowing his wife to rest for a few
days he recalled the fact that away
back in the beginning of last winter
Miss Taliaferro's sister had COM
mitted to rAemory the title part in
Polly. While an ordinary understudy
is all right in case of an emergency,
it is generally inadvisable to allow
one to continue in a stars part for
more than one consecutive night. So
Mr.. Thompson telephoned to Omaha.
got his young sister-in-law to the tel
ephone and asked her if she remem-
bered the lines of Polly. She said
she did-every one-whereupon he
told her to leave an understudy in
her place and hurry to Chicago.
That's how the windy city was the
only American town which saw the
two Misses Taliaferro at the head of
the same company in Polly of the
Circus.

YIELDING
BRINGS RELIEF

Buda Pest, Oct. 28.-Baron Won
Aehrenthal, the Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, in an important speech
yesterday indicated yielding attitude
ON the part of Austria, which may aid
materially in the preservation OIL
peace. Addressing the Austrian dele
cation, the foreign minister admitted
it was Austria's desire to do its ut
most to relieve the present tension
and that therefore the government
would not insist that the question of
the annexation of Bosnia and Here
govina should he entirely eliminated
from the program of the international
congress, although naturally he could
not admit that the powers had right
to question the annexation of the prov
inces, or an idea of any territorial
compensations in other directions
