 The rain of ash started at 6 o'clock in the evening, Thursday, June 6, and lasted until Monday at about fl a. III. Sunday morn ing, when it became light enough, the St. James put to sea in tow of the tug Printer.
 During the worst, it was so black that it was impossible for thosc on the island to sec their hands before their faces. The fine ash soon put out the lights that had been set along the wharf and on the decks of the vessels and except for dull, flickering light in the cabins of the ships the sailors and natives groped their way about in the dark. The ships officers feared that if the storm continued their vessels would sink under the weight of the ash.
 The crew of the St. James aban- doned their vessel and went aboard the tug Printer, while. the crew of the. schooner, Metha Nell son, and the natives boarded the revenue cutter Manning. ready to put to sea when the cloud lifted. The rain of ash was accompan- jed by a grooming. The sound lasted for three or four minutes at time, rising and falling ill well timed and we'll puncluated meter. Added to this there was a roar and crash that seemed to shake the heavens. Nearly all the time there was a rattle and bang under the ship that it was fear ed would do damage.

 Capt. McRac says the attitude of the Indians was childlike. They desired constantly to be with the whites and watched their every movement to see if they were afraid.

CODE TELEGRAMs ARE PRESENT.
ED IN BEEF TRIAL.
Each Side Declares Same Message
Proves Its Contentions-"kn nip
ing Is Armour's Name.

Chicago.-A code book was brought
into the federal court in the trial or
the Chicago packers for violation of
the antitrust law to translate a great
bundle of kilograms exchanged in the
course of the business of the National
Packing company, and, when the
strange messages had been interpret
ed, both the government and the pack
ers claimed great victory.
The packers were jubilant because
some of the messages complained OF
strenuous competition and declared
that the last answer to the charges
of combination had been answered.
Isadore j. Snyder, assistant inspector
of the Boston branch of the National
concern, identified many kilograms
and said that all were sent in the
usual course of business.
The government claimed a victory
in that some kilograms threatened
that the supply would be curtailed un-
less branch house managers main
tanned better prices. District Attnr-
new Wilkerson contends that prices
could not be maintained by the curtail-
ment of shipments unless the packers
had working monopoly of the bust
ness.

SHOULD CLEAN UP HERDS
Farmers Are Advised to Secure State
Aid for Tubercular Cattle Be-
fore Offer Closes.

Madison-In view of the fact that
state compensation for tubercular-
lied animals will cease on July /,
1918, the state livestock sanitary
board is now starting a systematic
campaign to dispose of reactors in
Wisconsin herds. Agents of the
board will test all herds, giving own
ers opportunity to take full advan-
tage of the states offer The board
has a plentiful supply of tuberculin
on hand
The law, according to State Vet
erinarian 0. H. Eliason, requires
there shall be no discrimination in
the distribution of tuberculin be-
tween veterinarians and men who
have taken examinations to qualify
to make the tests. A recent ruling
by the board requires that the Ii
censes held by others than veteri-
narians shall be renewed from year
to year.
Those owners of cattle who expect
to be paid for deed animals, victims
of diseases, are advised by Dr. Ella
son to clean up" their herds
promptly.

DEMOCRATS DROP
CONVENTION PLANS
Old Method of Choosing Ma
tional Delegates Rejected.
FOR DISTRICT CONF ERENCES
State Central Committee Takes Ac-
ton at Milwaukee Meeting Cold
Weather Keeps Down Attendance
at Gathering.

Milwaukee.-There will be no
democratic state convention for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention at Baltimore. BY
vote of Is to the democratic state
central committee, at a meeting held
here, decided that it was not best to
hold a convention.
Before the committee went into
executive session there was an open
meeting. Prominent democrats ex-
pressed opinions regarding the quSs-
ton of convention.
After discussion lasting almost
an hour the committee went into ex-
ecutlve session. Here there was more
discussion, after which a vote was
taken and the convention plan de-
feated Overwhelmingly on the first
ballot.
1t is probable now that district
conferences will be held by the
friends of the different candidates in
each congressional district similar to
those being held on the republican
side, where delegates will be nomi-
mated.
Outside the members of the COM
m1ttee there were few democrats in
attendance from outside the city, the
cold weather apparently serving to
prevent their coming to, the meeting.

PREPARE FOR WAR
INVASION OF MEXICO BY UNITED
STATES TROOPS AT EARLY
DATE is PROBABLE.
ARMY ORDERED TO BE READY
Regiment of infantry and Battalion of
Field Artillery viii at Once Rein
force Cavalry PatroIing Border at
FL Paso.

Washington.-The war department
has given orders that 5000 troops be
held in readiness to proceed at mo-
ment's notice to the Mexican border,
and the actual invasion of the repub-
lie OF Mexico by the United States is
believed to be near.
Another 5000 men will be held in
reserve. This second force may not
be ordered to take the field for some
time. even though an invasion be-
comes necessary, but they will be
equipped, it was stated, and held for
a second expedition should such an
army movement be found imperative.
The war department has ordered a
regiment of infantry and battalion
of field artillery to Ell Paso for the
reinforcement of the cavalry now pa
trolling the Mexican border In that
section.
A general order has gone out to the
mobile army to be prepared for any
call the war department may make
on it should another mobilization be
ordered in Texas.
Fully $4,000 troops, east and west.
are affected by the general order to
prepare for the field. All of them can
be entrained within twenty-four hours.
Conditions in Mexico are even more
alarming, according to official state
ments, than had hitherto been ex-
pected.
Reports from Ambassador Wilson
and from consular officers throughout
the Mexican republic to the state de-
partment have led the administration
to take extraordinary precautions.
1t was said these advices show that
the Madero regime in Mexico is much
weaker than was the Diaz rule at any
stage Of the last administration. So
powerless is Madero that he is not
now in position to guarantee any
rights to foreigners.

erick Noble. the young plumber, for
the love of whom Mrs. Suydam ran

and married in September last. Mr..

Clasped in each others arms they
were found lifeless from gas asphyxl-
alton in their pretty apartment at 80
West Twelfth street. There was no
possibility of accident.
Their street clothes had been laid
carefully away; every room had been
put to rights; one door had been
bolted and the other barricaded, so
that no one might enter until the
deadly fumes had done their work.
They left no farewell message, no
written explanation. But in the
minds of the few persons who knew
m-especially the girl-lately their
motive was entirely clear.
They were not happy together. They
never really loved each other The
young wife never loved any man ex-
cept Walter Lispenard Suydam, the
millionaire husband from whom she
ran away on September 6 last Fred
Noble, the son of Brooklyn plumber,
knew this; knew that she married him
only to set herself right as might be
before the world. He married her
only to give her what standing a we'd
