Last Night.
GAELIC LEAGUE IS PRAISED

Joseph ID. Sullivan. a prominent attor-
president of the Ancient Order Of HI

the tenth biennial convention OF the or
der. held at Eagles Hall.
Outlining comprehensive programme
for the ensuing year, President Sullivan,
In his inaugural address. made a plea
for a stronger interest in the mother
country.
''As an organization strictly Irish In
character" said President Sullivan. I've
should keep before US ideals and OBJ
Jects connected with Ireland. Thtse
should be among us the greatest in
terest in things Irish; in the land itself;
In the aspirations of our people for home
rule: in the upbuilding of irish indus
tries: in the revival of Irish language
and literature. and In the study of Irish
history.
Never should our interest in these
important Nmatters be allowed to d.
minish. We are able to influence and
accomplish many things for ireland.
IL we are actuated by the proper zeal
Gus spirit
AT this time we should devote our
attention to what Is taking place in
Ireland. For more than 100 years the

themselves of the government imposed
upon them. Even in this enlightened
age of democracy they are denied self
government. 1t would seem that a
measure of home rule is likely to be
granted them. Our influence should be
exerted to secure the largest, the full
est. and the most democratic measure
Of home rule that the Parliament will
concede."
Gaelic League Praised.
The Gaelic League was given share Of
the praise for the increase of the Irish
goods imported into the United States
during the past four years from 81, 900. 900
to SIS 10000 This has been accomplished
largely by the industrial exhibits made
throughout this country by the Gaelic
League, according to President Sullivan.

Thomas P. O'Dea, district vice president:
William J. McEvoy. district secretary;
Ignatius Fealy. district Chaplain, and

VOLCANO UNDER
MEXICAN CITY
Guadalajara Warned that Slumber-
ing Crater May Belch Death
and Destruction.
CITIZENS URGED 10 FLEE

Guadalajara. Mexico. Aug 3o-Warning
has been issued to this, the second city
in the republic, with a population Of 15o.-
900. that IL IS to be destroyed by a vol
cano. The warning is given In all sseri-
BUSINESS by the Mexican government
through the seismograph branch OF the
National Observatory at Mexico City.
Seven scientists. who spent the latter
part OF July and the first week of Au-
gust here. have issued a report. follow
ing the $40 earthquakes which have
shaken Guadalajara in the past three
months. that the town is built on the
crater of slumbering volcano.
Increasing temperature, sulphurous
fumes escaping from fissures torn in the
city streets by the quakes, and the
bursting out of several hot springs led
to the investigation. which showed that
600 feet beneath the surface of the earth
there is a seething crater, whose last
eruption was about 1850 years ago. The
men from the observatory cannot state
when the eruption will take place, but
they believe 1t will be within a year.
Urge Vacation of City.
Their report urges that the city be va
Gated. and they suggest 4 movement to
Juanacatlan. a town about forty miles
from here, on the banks of the San
Diego River. A ridge of hills intervenes.
and II is stated that the effects OF the
volcanic upheaval. IL 1t is of the magni-
tude they expect. will not reach to Juan
acatlan. The center Of the crater be-
meath this city is located approximately
under the state palace, which is in the
heart of Guadalaiara.
Government papers have been removed
from the palace to Mexico City for safe
ty, and a mass meeting will be held here
the first Sunday in September to decide
whether the city shall heed the warning
and move or wait and see what happens.
Government officials are a unit in sup
porting the report Of the men from the
National Observatory and the recon-
mendatio for a removal contained there
in. This is the first time in history
when a city has been warned of danger
from a volcano.

ELECTIONS CASE UP
T0sUPREME COURT
Right Of Roosevelt Men in Kansas
to Remain on Republican
Ticket to Be Decided.
BULL MoosERs STAND PAT

The right Of the Roosevelt electors in
Kansas to remain on the Republican
ticket is now squarely up to the United
States Supreme Court The transcript
Of the record in this case was received
by the clerk Of the court yesterday.
The case will be called up on the first
day Of the fall term In October and
motion TO advance will be made In order
that decision may be reached before
election.
The situation in Kansas is badly tan
gie6 A judicial determination of the
Kansas case will doubtless have a bear
ing on conditions in other States where
the Bull Moose party retains hold on
Republican organization and seems bent
en- running Roosevelt electors on the
Republican ticket.
The Kansas case was brought to the
attention Of the Supreme Court at a
hearing given by Associate Justices Van
Devanter and Pitney in New York sew
eral weeks ago. After listening to ar
guments made by counsel for the Re-
publicans of Kansas the justices issued
an order which In effect permitted an ap-
zeal from the decision of the Kansas Su-
preme Court. The Republican leaders
Of Kansas saw fit to have the names
Of the Roosevelt electors removed from
the Republican ticket. The State court
held In substance that 1t had no au-
thority to issue an order In the primaries
Since then the Roosevelt electors have
been formally given a place on the Re-
publican ticket through the medium OF
q State primary.
Situation Is Uncertain.
The situation in Kansas seems certain
to be further complicated. thus adding
to the uncertainty of the outcome In that
State. in the November elections. Ad-
vices from Kansas are to the effect that
the Taft Republicans in that State will
vote the Democratic ticket IL some way
cannot be devised whereby they can vote
for Taft and Sherman. They have
threatened to put a complete Republican
ticket in the field. including a Senatorial
candidate against Gen. Stubbs, unless
the Roosevelt electors get of the Repub-
lican ticket. The Kansas Bull Moosers
are standing pat. They will not get of
unless requested to do SO by the United
States Supreme Court.
