Captain William Weigel of the
Eighteenth Infantry, who has been on
duty in the Philippines with his regi-
ment. is now passenger aboard the
United States transport Crook, en- route
to Chicago, where, before the Federal
Court, he is to be the principal witness
in sensational trial. in which Cap
tain Daniel f. Keller. or rather former
Captain Keller, has been indicted for
forging the name of Colonel W. W.
Robinson. assistant quartermaster-gen-
eral, L. s. a.
Keller went to the Philippines as a
lieutenant of volunteers. and secured
small island in the southern group
which he said he intended to exploit
to develop pearl fisheries. He returned
TO the United States and was made 4
captain in the Regulars, and was sta
toned at Fort Sheridan. where Captain
Weigel. now aboard the Crook. messed
with him. Weigel had book of U. 5.
Treasury blank checks, which he kept
under lock. but one day he had it
out and left il around. and when next
he examined it he found three pages,
six blank checks. missing. Keller was
not suspected at the time.
Keller was later sent to Cuba, where
he resigned, saying he had large pri-
waite interests to take charge of. He
went to Nevada and passed two of the
checks, both signed ". W. Robinson,
one for $4,000 and the other for $4,000.
The Treasury pronounced them forger-
les.
Keller was next heard of in Van
eouver and Victoria, where he "fiew
high and got rash enough to deposit
one of the blank checks filed cut for
so, The bank suspected and tele-
graphed Washington. Washington
wired back to hold him. He was ex-
tradited and taken into custody, but
he managed TO escape. Two days later
he was reeaptured, but again he gave
his eaptors the slip. and it was three
months later before he was again taken,
this time in Mexico. He was taken to
Chicago and indicted, and Weigel is on
his way to Chicago now TO give evil
denee against him.

kILhUEA'S FIRE
CROWS BRILLIANT
Bon sunday's Advertiser.l


Reports from the volcano brought
down by passengers on the Mauna
Kes yesterday tend TO show that there
has been no exaggeration Of the con-
ditiOn in any OF the stories previously
given out.
E. 4. Aldrieh. OF Moscow. Idaho, has
travelled considerably around the world
and has visited volcanoes in different
parts Of 1t. Last year he was at
Mount Pelee, and two years ago he
was here, but there was so little aetiv-
ity at Kilauea that it was not worth
mentioning. He was one of the re-
turning passengers yesterday, and is
about SIS enthusiastic over what he
saw SIS one could possibly be.
II have seen the mueh-written ae-
counts about Pslee in the West Indies,
but there is no comparison between
that volcano and yours, he remark

tiser. ''Ou- party sat on the brink

night the cone exploded Just about
dusk. few minutes after our arrival
at the crater. and the molten lava
spread all over the surface of the pit.
There did not seem TO be a spot that
was not fully covered. and two foun-
tains were playing continuously. Man
ager Lyeurgus marks the height of the
lava floor every day or two and notes
the increase. From present indication:
and what the visitors told me it doe:
not seem 10 me that it viii be very
long before the lake viii be on a level
with the pit opening. There is con
siderable heat all around the opening
and the fire Is continuous.
I'm all OF my travels l have never
witnessed q scene that compares with
Kilauea. continued Mr.. Aldrich
"and the trip from Honolulu is as
pleasant one as could be asked. The
steamer is comfortable, the meals are
good. and the hotel accommodation ex-
eellent. I found a number of island
people at the Volcano House when ]
was there. and several OF them re-
marked that if the Honolulu people
could realize what is really taking
place there would be more OF them go
up. I would not have missed the sight
for anything I can think of Just now;
it is continuous moving mass of
molten lava, which is, 10 say the least,
awe-inspiring.
