Mt. Usu Crumbling for Some Time, Finally Collapses and Brought to Level Four Days Panic In Vicin- ity of Mountain, 6, ,000 Ref ugees Aband d o ming
 Homes and Fleeing
 for Safety
Government Sends Several Warships Loaded With Supplies-Fears for Hak- kodate, City of 5000 In habitants.
Especial from United Press.l

Tokio, July 26-Tremendous earth worked havoc on Usu Bay, on the southern part of the island of Hok-
 kaido, according to advices received here today. No details have been re-
 ceived but 1t is believed that the fatal ities will be very heavy.
 The advices say the shocks began on July p and continued almost with
 out interruption until today. distinct trenors being recorded. Shortly after ings were heard and almost simultan- eously more than 100 Assures appeared on the side of Mount Usu and a violent eruption followed. While huge Quan- titles of red hot sand and muddy wa ter were being thrown high in he air, Mt Usu began to crumble and collapse on all sides and today had almost been leveIled.
 For four days a panic has reigned in the vicinity of the mountain, and 5000 refugees have abandoned their homes and are fleeing inland for their lives. It is feared that the entire surround ing country will be laid waste by the volumes of hot sand. The meagre ad- vices received here say that during the most violent earthquake there was terrific upheaval of the bottom of Usu Bay and that the harbor and prac- tically all of the shipping in the bay were destroyed. As a result of the upheaval the great bay is now only four fathoms deep. It is impossible for officials here to estimate the loss of life. The government hurried its preparation for the relief of the stricken people as soon as todayS ad- vices were received.
 Several warships were heavily load ed with supplies today and will be rushed forward at once. Simultan- eously the military authorities on Hokkaido Island (also known as Yezo Island) were ordered to assume control of the situation and to preserve order until the refugees could be cared for. The government also ordered the pre- lecture in Yezo to commander any supplies being needed. The public was increased today 1t had received no word from Hak- 8 town of 50,000 inhabitants. It is feared the city has suffered heavily as 3 result of the quake.
 Hokkaido, or YeZo. from which the earthquake is reported, is just across the Sangar- Straits from Nippon. The island is 36,299 square miles in area and has a population estimated to be 1, 1000, 900. It is chiefly of volcanic origin and has been visited by many disastrous earthquakes. The island Is fairly fertile and has valuable gold, silver and coal and koalin mines.

GARFIELD BONE OF CONTENTION IN OHIO TODAY Old Bosses Still Hunting for Man to Beat Him In
 State Convention Col. Roosevelt Expresses Preference for His For mer Cabinet Officer for
 Governor
fspeciaI from United Press

Especial from United Press
 Columbus, O., July 26-When the old line bosses of the Republican party
 crawled into their beds at day break this morning after a night of many conferences they were still hunting for a man to beat James R. Garfield for the Republican nomination for governor. All the organization leaders took a hand in the anti-Garfield game. The arrival of Garfield and his pub lication of a statement defining his attitude toward President Taft's ad- ministration sent the stock of the former secretary of the interior so high that the opposition were plainly worried
 Minor differences were laid aside in their efforts to concentrate upon a sane" progressive candidate whom the convention would accept as a sub- stitute for Garfield.
 At intervals through the night Uni ted States Senator Burton, who leads the opposition to Garfield, was in dis cussion with George B. Cox, Walter Brown, Arthur I. Voorhees, Congress man Taylor and c. D. Mills. assistant secretary of the treasury who is here President Taft. Cox endeavored to persuade Burton to line up for Judge o. B. Brown without success. The oth- CT confereeS, known as the administra- tion crowd, discussed number of pos- abilities among them Attorney Gen. eral Denman, Congressman Long worth, Joseph T. Carew of Cincinnati and others.
 Nothing definite resulted and with the convention only few hours away Garfield still looked as the big .ob- stacle in their path. Warren G. Hard ing, the Marion editor and former lieutenant governor, failed to secure the support of the administration crowd principally because Senator Burton has not forgotten Harding's opposition to Burton's candidacy some years ago.
 The convention will be called to or der at o'clock this afternoon by State Chairman Walter Brown of Toledo and the Keynote speech will be deliv- cred by Congressman Longworth.
 At o'clock all district delegations were scheduled to meet at the state house and elect members of conven- ton committees and of the State Gen. tral Committee.
 There are 1,o66 delegates in the con- vention, 534 votes being necessary to 8 choice.
 New York, July 26.-When Colonel Roosevelt was asked at the Outlook office today whether he had anything to say concerning the Ohio conven- tion at Columbus he replied q want | to see a progressive platform adopted, l that is all" To his friends the Col | onel is said privately to have express ed a preference for James R. Garfield | as the gubernatoria1 nominee.
 When he was first informed that | Judge Kinkade, Taft's choice for gov- | srnor had withdrawn from the race, the Colonel was apparently surprised. |
 "You don't mean to say that the | Judge has withdrawn?" said he.

AFTER JOY RIDE
 WALTER HANLEY
 TAKES FATAL DOSE
(SpeciaI from limited Press

Special from United PreSS0
 New Haven, July 26.-The verdict of Coroner Mix in the case of Walter Hawley, whose badly decomposed body was found yesterday in West Haven, will probably be suicide. Mix started today that an empty bottle which had undoubtedly contained carbolic acid was found five feet from the dead body.
 The police investigation following the finding of Hawley's body has dis closed a story of one last, long draught of adventure and high life before Hawley took the fatal drink. A pawn ticket found in his clothes told the mute story of a watch which had gone to provide drink. Hawley had borrowed money the police say, to get more liquor. The night before he took the acid was spent, according to the police, in ''joy ride" trip in a borrowed automobile. The theory of the police is that Hawley took the poison in a fit of remorse.

BEARS RAISE
 HAVOC WITH
 STOCK MARKET


 New York, July 26.-The stock market was again very much de- moralized today. The bears raided the list and sent most of the stand ard stocks down to new low levels There was an utter absence of sup port from any quarter and fractional declines were the rule on every sale recorded.
 There seemed no real reason for the depression excepting the general "al1 gone" feeling that seems to rule most of the manipulators of values these days. What news there was for the most part, was of a reassur- ing character but it had no effect on the market.
 A good part of today's selling came from brokers that heretofore have been rated in the bull column and it was at all times evident that there were few outsiders in the market. Trading was confined to the profess SiOnal element.

 STILL AT LARGE
Special from United Press.)

Roanoke, Va, July 26.-Despite a rigid search of the country about Ridgeway no trace has been found of the assassin who killed Former Mayor amite under him Sunday night. De- tectives have failed to pick up the trail. It is believed the murderer hid in a clump of bushes in the rear of the house until he saw Bouseman sit down in the hammock. Then he lit the fuse and crept to the corner of the porch, his movements being screened by a blooming cleander bush.
 When found BOuseman was cOnsci ous but could throw no light on the identity of his assai1ant.

BELL BOY AIDED
 BY PR0VIDENTIAL
 WIND STOPS FIRE
Hat of Joseph Liepertz Blows off and He Leaves Car For
 House in Flames
Jumping Through Window He Finds Exhausted Wife of Sea
 Captain About to Succumb

Providence seems to have blown off the hat of Joseph Eepertz, night bell boy at the Stratfeld Hotel, as he was riding in trolley car near Ask Creek this morning. He got off the car and after securing his hat, waited for an- other car. when he heard a woman scream and saw smoke coming from the windows of a new house at Gras- mere, the home of Capt. Alfred Wiebe, who commands coasting vessel.
 Liepertz tried the doors of the house but found them locked. He found a window open and pushing in the screen ne climbed into a smoke filed room. Mrs. Elsie W1ebe, aged 35, wife of the captain, was in the room throwing water by the pansful upon the blaze. She had been working upon the fire TOT many minutes and was almost eX- hausted. The blaze. which had start ed in a clothes closet, had set fire to the woodwork in the bedroom where it was located. Each time that the plucky woman would go to the kitchen gain headway. She was about to leave 1t and rush out for help when the bellboy came through the win dow.
 Liepertz promptly sGzed the burning clothing and threw itout of the win uoW lie then ran next door ana got the people there to put on their gar den hose. The family of Justus B. Hawley, who reside across the street, did the same thing
 The Wfebe house is the second be- yond Ash Creek bridge in Fairfield. The crew of the chemical engine was telephoned for. The company re- sponded, with Chief Mooney, but there was little for them to do as Liepertz had done his work so well. The dam age to the room and the contents of the closet will aggregate about $200.
 If a gust of wind had not blown off the hat of young Liepertz it Is quite likely that Mrs. Wiebe, who was chok- ed with smoke. would have dropped from exhaustion and that the building would have been consumed.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con-
slant tired feeling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
Chat they have taken medicine. Chamberlain's
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness.
Indigestion, constipation and dizziness. Sold CIV.

VERY COOLING TO THINK OF
Artificial Ice Is Purer and Can Be Sold
Cheaper Than Natural
Product.

No longer are dealers and users of
ice compelled to stand sentinel over
nature, with all her vagaries, and
walt for ice to be frozen for them
Only few years ago ice was gath
cred from anywhere and everywhere,
and none could guess what sort of
refuse contaminated the waters riy-
ers, canals, ponds and pools where 1t
was gathered. No longer does the
citizen in the midst of a mild winter
take alarm at the prospect of no ice
or ice at an almost prohibitive price
on account of its scarcity. The man
ufactured ice is purer than that Of
naturs, without flaw or blowhole, free
from admixture of snow and there
fore more lasting. Artificial ice is
one of the great discoveries of the
last few years and has been reduced
to such system that 1t can be sold
at good profit cheaper than that
which was formerly sawed out, loaded
In vehicles, hauled to railrt ad or
steamer landing and shipped by rail
or by sea to the vast and ugly storage
houses. where it was taken from
masses of sawdust as 1t was sold.
