ena that specialists have travelled
from Europe to study. The trouble
has been that they have found little
vantage ground from which to pursue
their work. The ebulitions have been
so continuous that it has been impos-
sible to witness the phenomena and
their results except at long range.
There was no volcano where these
eruptions, beginning in August, 1905,
were centered. All the many volca-
noes in the island had been quiescent
for over a century. Suddenly vol
canic vents were opened on the floor
of a deep valley about eight miles
from the northeast coast of Savaii
Whole Valley overIaid.
The whole valley was soon filled
with lava. The ejecta built up a
ridge Of lava about 1000 feet thick,
where the valley had been; and above
the ridge arose a mountain of out
pourings, 1000 feet high, to which the
name of Matavanu was given' Over
thirty square miles of the island were
finally covered to various depths with
the fluid lava, destroying many native
houses with their areas of cultivation.
1t has been estimated that at times
the outpouring of lava from the cen
ter of eruption amounted to from
1000 to 5000 tons a minute. The coral
reef, about five miles from the shore
is the outer boundary of the lagoon
between the coast and the reef This
lagoon has been entirely filled with
lava for a distance of about five miles
along the coast and a long lava ridge
was built up in the sea beyond the
coral reef. The neighboring salt
waters became superheated caul
dron, killing millions of corals and
fish; and many fish, thus cooked
were collected and eaten by the
natives. Sun.

ALLEGED PLOT TO FLOOD
HAWAII WITH CHEAP LABOR
WHEN PANAMA CANAL OPENS

of California wine growers crossed to
the islands some time ago to look for
Spanish and Portuguese workers in
the vineyards. Inasmuch as it is
every Hawaiian's ambition to get to
the states" the agents quickly
rounded up 100 who were anxious to
accompany him. He tried to conduct
operations secretly, but the planters
were too alert for him, and when the
steamship showed up off the shore
and he began modifying his forces
for embarkation the territorial author
tiles swooped down and found means
of preventing nearly every man of the
entire 100 from going.
How? Oh, some of them were in
debt, some were accused of deserving
their families, some one thing and
some another. Plenty of excuses were
found Anyway the venture was prac-
tically a failure.
The Hawaiians think this story a
good story on the wine growers.
A few Hawaiians think the big
planters will ultimately regret the
flooding of the islands with European
cheap labor They concede that the
first generation will be manageable
enough, but predict that the second
one, becoming Americanized will
swamp the planters and their bench
men at the polls
The planters don't worry. The ter
ritorial Legislature does just what the
islands feudal overlords, the planters,
tell it to.
Then there are the Japanese. Their
second generation is growing up now
1t is pretty well Americanized, too
In a few years it's vote will be larger
than all the other votes on the is
land together.
ut is to be hoped, however," the
planters say, that these Japanese will
be better advised than to cause trou-
BILE by attempting to exercise the
right of franchise"
But if they do attempt it,"
IF they do, it will be necessary to
abandon the territorial form of affairs
administered by a military commits
sioner. Such a thing, though most
regrettable, would be better than be-
ing dominated by the Japanese"

TIE BURGLAR AND THE
LADY PLEASED AUDIENCE
Jack BcSsey Company Made a Decided
Hit In James j. COrbetts
Great Play.

THE Burglar and the Lady" was
the vehicle in which the Jack Bessey
company rode to higher favor with a
Tulsa audience than ever before at the
Coliseum Airdome last night. This Is
putting 1t strong for the company has
hosts of both friends and admirers
here. Mr.. Bessey Is a handsome man
both on and off the stage. and his in
depreciation of "Raffles" allies Ned
Danvers. the burglar and detective
respectively, was WELL 1t isn't exag
gerating bit to say a superb piece
OF histronic work. In the strong
points of the role he rose to a splen-
cid height, at no time losing his poise,
and at all times holding the admira-
ton Of his audience. Even the small
er details Of the role which fell to
his lot were admirably worked out,
showing his versatility and how good
was his conception of the character.
Miss Nell Paul as Norma Gray, Il
niece OF wealthy bank cashier,
could not have been eclipsed.. Here
was a role that required constant care
lest 1t be overdrawn In some parts
and underdone In others. She was
equal to the test in every instance
and In excitement distress or joy she
maintained that balance which only
the charming artist that she is could
hold. Her voice and expression met
every requirement and her rare grace
never showed to better advantage. Ira
Herring made a strong Sherlock
Holmes. and Eddie Raye gave good
account Of himself as re John Ban
field Adelaide Menotte as Mrs.
Moreland maintained her previously
we'll earned reputation as an actress
of no mean ability. James G. Morton
was clever as John Harmon. and J.
II. Williams correctly portrayed
Bobby Burlock alias Cripps. Helen
Brandon as Lucy Harmon and the lit
tie Dutch girl and Tom Willard as
jenkins were very credltable. The
vaudeville acts were received with
the accustomed high favor. Mr.. Bes-
sey's announcements are always ap-
preciated by the audience who never
fail to give him a cordial greeting.

A dress with a skirt entirely of

the material being a medium weight
voile in navy blue, and the fluting
causes 1t to follow the lines of the
figure gracefully. The waist is of

and trimmed with glass buttons.
A collar and cuffs Of embroidered
ecru net finishes the neck and
sleeves, and a girdle of green satin
with crochetted pendants is worn.

feat of II. 4. Daniel of Tulsa, repuhll-

Matson yesterday, my petition is the

from affidavits in my possession, |
believe Mr. Daniel far exceeded the
amount OF campaign expenditures al

democrats will make no effort to beat
Mr.. Daniel but will unseat him the
minute he gets to congress on the
grounds that he spent too much
money. They did the same thing just
