Inches of Ashes

CATANIA, Sicily. March so. -
There was a violent eruption OF
Mount Aetna during the whole night
which filled Catania's streets with
ashes and cinders to a depth Of six
inches. The volcano Is twenty miles
away and is scattering volcanic dust
over a vast area of territory to the
southwark, running vineyards and
orchards. The eruption is showing
every indication OF an approaching
crisis and huge streams OF molten
lava are moving slowly toward the
city and the people are becoming
more and more terror stricken as
fresh craters made their appearance
today. Prof. Riceo estimates that
there are thirty-fye craters In the

SCHOOL BONDS CARRY BY 367

Occur d'Alene Is to have the new
SIS. 200 high school building as the
result of yesterdays election, which
gave majority OF 367 in favor
of the bonds, the vote being 514 for
and 147 against the issue.
The polls opened sharp at 1 o'clock
and closed at p. m. The voting was
rather slack for three hours after
the polls were opened, and It looked
at times as though the opposition
was in the lead, but in the neIghbor-
hood OF o'clock a large number Of
those who favored the bonding came
In and cast their ballots, which placed
that side in the majority. The vote
was not as large as was expected by
about one-fOurth, and the opposition
was stronger than was anticipated un-
til the votes began to come in.
The amount specified for the cree
ton OF a high school building Is suf-
1cient to erect a neat structure, which
will In every way meet the present
demands. and II is the intention Of
the school board to so construct the
building that additions may be built
at any time without maring It's beauty
in any way.
The school board will begin at
once to look for . suitable site. and
it is said that they are DESTROYS OF
getting as near the center OF the city
as is possible. While they have no

Identity OF the Japanese il nncer-
tain. They are known generally as
Suganami and Kawada. II is asserted
that the former is the son OF colon
ell In the Japanese army. This, how
ever, can not be verified. Both men
are linguists and have been in the
islands for about a year.
II is believed there was a third
japanese who. however. failed to en-
ter the house on Sunday when the
others were captured. 1t is thought
that he was to bring the bride mon
ey. The Japanese watched the house
all day Sunday before entering It. but
the American officers outwitted them
by taking up a position in the house
on Saturday and remaining concealed
there for 80 hours.
The prisoners are being held in the
custody of Colonel Irons. The Japan-
csc consul has taken no action.

Tour Of Europe.
With Mrs. Roosevelt, Kermit. Miss
Ethel and the otlec members of his
party, Col. Roosevelt vii; begin a tri.
umphal pilgrimage through Europe
next Saturday. Teaching Naples on
that day, the party win proceed on
Sunday to Rome. where the former
president will be presented to both
the king and pope.
The party will then journey north
ward through Austrla-Hungary visit
ing Vienna and Budapest. and then
going straight to Paris. getting in the
French metropolis about april 10.
The stay here will probably be limit
ed to four days.
Leaving Paris the party will go to
Brussels, the capital OF Belgium, roam
around awhile in Holland, and then
run up to Christiana, the govern
mental seat of Norway. Berlin is
next in line and in the German cap
ital the Roosevelts will spend two or
three days. While Col. Roosevelt has
declined an invitation to be received
in state by the German emperor, 1t is
entirely probable that he will find
time to visit Emperor william and
also to hob-nob a little with the
famous scientists of the German city.
Upon leaving Germany the party
win cross the Dover straits to Eng
land, and London will have three or
four days of the RoOsevelts. 1t was
Col. Rooseyelt's idea to he officially
received by King Edward, as this
would involve a visit to Buckingham
palace and delay his return to his
native land. But it is a question as
to whether the ex-president can get
out OF this. King Edward is one OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's most ardent admirers
and he has let 1t be known in no un-
certain manner to Ambassador Reid
that he wishes to heap honors upon
the head OF the American, and that
If it is at all possible it shall be ar
ranged.
The Roosevelt party has received
invitations enough for visits, speech
es, banquets. etc, to keep the head
of 1t busy for about two years.
But Col. Roosevelt planned his re-
turn trip across Europe before he
entered the wilds OF Africa, and It is
so filled with engagements that it is
practically impossible for him TO ac-
cept any more.

Murder in the Country Home OF

jurcd Man Assaulted the Girl.

poughkeepsie, Il. Y.-sarah 0.
Breymer, tWenty-six years old, a gov
erness, was bound, attacked and
sstrangled to death in, bed in her room
in the summer home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Barnes Compton, at Millbrook, Dut-
chess County, who We're absent in
New York City. The murder was
committed within a few feet Of Polly,
a little three-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Compton, who was
sleeping on a cot in the same room.
The murder was done Sc quietly the
child did not awaken.
When Frank Schermerhprn, a mar
RED man, who is coachman at the
Compton place, learned next after
noon that suspicion was directed
against him, he went to his bedroom
in the coachman's house, wrote a note
Ito his wife. in which he asserted his

his throat With He was
found under the bed by Chief of Po-
lice Charles j.. McCabe. The chief
went to the coachman;s house to get
the man and question him further.
When he entered the darkened room
he heard the trickling of blood, which
was flowing from Schermerhorn's
throat. He spoke, and from beneath
the bed came this gurgling query:
us that you, chief?"
Yes, Frank; and you'd better
come out, because I want YOU" Nc
Cabe replied.
I'm not guilty." schermerhorn
said as he crawled out with great eff
fort, but I would rather die than go
to Jail"
Chief McCabe summoned a physi-
clan hastily, in an effort to save the
coacnman's life. After the cash in
his throat had been dressed, Scher-
merhorn wa rushed to Vassar Hos
pital, this city. Although he is so
weak from the loss OF blood he could
scarcely talk, he made a desperate
effort to divert suspicion from him
self to Shtiro Chashi, the Japanese
butler III the Compton household.
The Jap did it" he said. Il stood
under q window o. the house and saw
him kill her."
The police take no stock in that
statement, however, and no suspicion
is felt against the butler.
The body Of the nurse was discov-
cred by servants who had been
aroused by the intruders. An exam
ination of the house bore evidence
Of its having been ransacked by bur-
glars, although nothing Of great value
was missing.
Schepmerhorn had been about the
place all day, glibly going over the
incidents attending the finding Of the
nurses body after the frightened ser.
wants had rung a bell to his house
asking for assistance.

SWOPE MURDER L @
Alleged Scheme to Kill Eight With
Typhoid Germs.

Kansas City, Mo. - Relatives of
ThomassH. Swope, a multi-millionaire
philanthropist, and his nephew,
Christman Swope, placed the investi-
cation into their death which is al
ready we'll under way, in the hands of
a local law firm. The assertion is
made that Thomas Swope and his
nephew were poisoned, and that the
author of the crime also inoculated
the entire Swope family of eight per-
son with typhoid germs in an effort
to exterminatesthem. Shortly before
Christman Swope's death, the man to
whom suspicion points visited the Of
fee of a bacteriologist here and pro-
cured typhoid cultures, it is said.
It developed that Swope's body was
taken from a vault in Forest Hill
Cemetery and submitted to a medical
examination. Attorneys representing
the Swope estate say they are con-
vinced a deep laid plot existed to kill
first Colonel Swope and then other
members of his family. A person
who hoped to become sole beneficiary

deaths, they assert. -fEps

The game of football as played in

The game of football as-played in
recent. years, with disastrous conse-
quences to many players, is not sport
in the true and best sense of the
term. 1t is desirable, Of course, adj
mits the Baltimore Sun, that the
young. men at our military and naval
academies should have athletic train
ing. It is good for them in every
way when the training is scientific.
wholesome, and in moderation, The
same is true Of all students in col
leges and universities. Physical ex-
ercise in the open air and in gymnasi-
ums has a distinct value. It makes
for that most valuable Of combina-
tons, the sound body and the sound
mind. But, while it is a good thing
to develop the muscles of our young
athletes, to give them physical STAN
ina and confidence in themselves, it
is not desirable in any point of view
that their strength and endurance
should be employed in a game in
which, as now played, every players
life is in imminent jeopardy. Make
football a safe and humane sport, in
the best@sense of the word. or abolish
it.. This is the judgment and demand

he had killed his month old baby by
crushing its head with his heel.
I Il will not sentence Pullman to
the gallows," said Judge A. Corey of

him to be haunted day after day by
