Terrible Disaster in Japan---F Foreign
Tourists Incinerated by Vol

Toxic, Aug. 15.-More than thirty
persons, half Of whom are believed to
have been foreign tourists, were prob
ably burned to death on the slopes of
Mt. Asama- -Yahama, usually passive
volcano about 80 miles from this city,
when it suddenly burst into violent
eruption today. The volcano has been
one OF the big points Of interest to the
visitors to Japan's leading summer re-
sort, Karuizawa, aud the tourists who
lost their lives today were from that
place.
There is q we'll travelled road extend
ing from the bottom and winding along
the sides of the mountain almost to the
crater. Parties of tourists were toiling
up this road when there came sudden
rumbling, followed by a terrific cx-
plosion and hundreds OF tons OF molten
lava poured from the top of the noun.
tain and through the many assures on
the sides
All the parties lower down on the
mountain escaped. Abandoning their
effects, they fled in terror and were
soon out OF harms way. Two big
parties, however, were nearly at the
summit. It is believed they we're over
whelmed by the gaseous smoke and
their bodies incinerated in the burning
lava.

FEAR RELAPSE Of PUPE.
Condition Not so Well This Morn
iag---Report of New Cardinals.

Pope Plus was not so we'll at an
early hour this morning. His sleep
has been less tranquil. and he twice
awoke complaining of pains in the
affected knee. His temperature al
so has slightly increased over that Of
of the early hours of the night. The
physicians fear relapse, which they
say the Pope's weakened condition
would be less able to Withstand.
The reports from the United
States that Archbishop James Ed
ward Quigley, of Chicago, has been
elevated 10 the cardinalate are stated
to be wholly unfounded The Pope,
it is asserted, has never even consid-
cred holding a consistory for such a
purpose. 1t is generally known that
because of this years celebration OF
the jubilee of Italian unity consis-
tory would not be held before De-
cember at the earliest. while 1t is
more likely to be held next year.
AT that time although there are
% vacancies in the cardinalate. il
is believed that no Americans Will
receive red hat, the pontiff ad-
herring TO his opinion that that coun-
try should have not more than one
cardinal during the life OF Cardinal

BEAT TIE TRIAL MONDAY
Striking Feature of Yesterdays
Hearing Was Absence of
Women.

Indicted by the Chesterfield coun-
ty grand jury, Henry Clay Ecaitie.
jr., will be placed on trial for his life
next Monday morning OIL the charge
OF numbering his wife in Midlothian
turnpike on the evening OF July IS
last The proceedings were merely
perfunctory, only four witnesses be-
ing examined. Counsel for the de-
fense fought hard for a postpone
ment, but Judge Walter A. Watson
held that the interests OF the Com
monwealth demanded q speedy trial,
and set the case for August p. /,
When the news of the indictment
was told Henry Beattie by his broth
er Douglas he appeared stunned for
second, then reaching for cigar
cite, lighted it and said;
I'm not going TO talk about this
now, but | vii say this much, l am
not surprised
Picking up a newspaper lhal Ms
brother had dropped, he folded IL,
laid it on his couch, and taking up
his guitar, he began picking medita-
lively at the strings.
The Binford girl, now only II
years old, was prettily dressed in a
blue tailored suit and a big picture
hat. She appeared unruffled by the
curious, although she shielded her
face from the photographers with
her fan.
She spent a good part of the day
in the close courtroom, and during
the afternoon was overcome and
tainted
The county physician soon revived
her. Afterward, when asked TO pose
for photographers, she declined un-
less they would make up a purse
Of S25. The purse was not forth
coming.
A striking feature of the day was
the absense OF women. There was
not one, except the Binford girl
black or white, in the courtroom, and
only a handful from the vicinity oil
the courthouse, on the lawn.

Pepco, tomorrow, and will put strong
lineup on the field in anticipation OF a
hard game. 1t is believed by many
that close score will result.
The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, 'Pepco," has presented the
strongest team to appear in Alexand-
ria, but there is no reason why the
score should be 15 to 8. Go out and
watch the boys at their best.
There has heen much talk OF the
irregular lineup. The management
promises to keep the same lineup as
near as possible on the field, but it Is
not possible at all times.
The va cancy on 5rd caused by Ander-
ton leaving for his vacation will be
filled by Miller, and it is expected be
will prove satisfactory to all ye
critics.

LIVERPOOL CONTINUES
IN THE GRIP Of STRIKE.
Renewal of Fighting Fifteen Thous-
and Women Joins Ranks of
Strikers---Repressive
Measures Adopted.

Liverpool, Aug. 15.-Continued
fighting between the troops aud orga.
nized mobs OF ''hooiigans" keeps the
lower districts OF the city in terror.
Five thousand troop are clearing the
streets, and early today had to fire to
disperse the mob.
The worst trouble occurred in the
great Homer street section.
Hoodlums entered bakeries aud pro-
vision shops and forced the proprietors
to hand over their wares.
During q charge by the troops it vas
discovered that the Offices of the ship
owners federation had been fired. The
mob wedged itself so tightly in the
streets that fremen could DO nothing,
and the building was gutted. Several
other fires, which the police declare
were Of incendiary origin, we're extin-
guished.
Union Leader Tom Mann today de-
clared that as result OF the lookout,
IS, 900 men are out on the docks and
that unless the ship owners come to all
agreement before night all the freight
handlers and teamsters here will be
called out adding $4,000 to the ranks
OF the strikers.
Six soldiers and two policemen were
injured in today's fighting. A num-
Der of the rioters were struck down
with batons and bayonets and they
we're carried off by their comrades.
Railroad employees are anticipating a
general strike order and all freight
handlers, teamsters and porters expect
that they will be ordered out, accord
ing to the strike leaders.
London, Aug. ia conference
attended by Premier Asquith, Chan
cellor Lloyd-George and Attorney Gen
eral Isaacs was held with number OF
labor lead rs today to consider means
for terminating the lawlessness at
Liverpool. The premier indicates that
the government is prepared to adopt
the most repressiye measures unless
the :ituation is at once improved. Over
), 600 troops are in Liverpool.
1t is stated here that approximately
100000 men are out Reports from
Manchester say the strike of the rail
road freight men is spreading and the
frcighters on the Great Northern Rail
road there and at Liverpool have walk
ed out.
From all large centres come reports
OF Justification AID it seemed certain
that unless truce could he made with
the leaders here general railroad strike
would follow.
A new and aggravated condition has
been added to the situation through
the spread OF the strike Of the wouien's
unions. There are now $1,000 women
on strike and few firms are granting
their demands.
Should lbs government attenpt 10
