Toxic, Sept 6.-Mount Full "a dead
volcanic mountain nearly $4,000 feet
high famous around the world for its
graceful contour, has been surmount-
ed this summer by a Japanese girl
seven years old. who made made the
trip unaided by her elders. Consider
ing the youthfulness of the climber,
this is a record. Another will be made
before the summer is over, for if all
goes well with him, Sajuro Ota, eighty
nine years of age, will accomplish his
one hundredth ascension. With the
close of last summer his record was
eighty-three. August saw him COM
plete his ninety-fourth trip to the sum-
init.
From time immemorial Full, the
highest mountain in Japan, has been
considered sacred peak, and until
about forty years ago women were not
allowed to make the ascent. Even
now much religious sentiment is at
tached to the mountain, and group
after group of pilgrims from all over
the country visit the little shrines on
the snow clad summit, murmuring in
their ascent up the long slopes "Rok
koR Shojo," meaning, May our six
senses be clean and undefiled."
Aside from these pilgrims all classes
of people including some of the new

tarium. Smaller buildings by the
hundreds were reduced to ashes.
But few of these whose homes were
burned saved any Of their belongings,
and guests of the hotels gave little
heed to their valuables and luggage in
their efforts to escape with their lives.
The fire originated within several
blocks of the United States Army and
Navy Hospital and took a south and
east course.
The frail structures in the negro
section about Church street and Nal
vern avenue, where the fire started,
made more than ordinarily infiam-
mable by an extended drought, burned
like finder and driven by a wind of
almost cyclonic proportions, spread
rapidly. Within fifteen minutes it
was apparent that the fire-fighting
force of Hot Springs was inadequate
and an appeal was made to Little Rock
for aid Apparatus and men were
sent, but the confagration then was
beyond control. Dynamite was resort
ed to when it was apparent that water
would be of no avail. but this also
failed.
The burned district for some dis
lance skirts the business section, and
several times the shifting winds
headed the fire fer the main business
thoorughfare, Central avenue, but each
tine the free use of explosives and
an opportune change in the wind saved
It. Before nightfall the task OF
checking the flames was abandoned
and the combined fire-fghting forces
turned their efforts toward keepins

A ROCKEFELLER

New York World.0


No Rockefeller is ever killed in any

road
No Morgan is ever killed
No director is ever killed.
None Of the bankers who have bled

The New Havens victims are scrup-

The story of the New Haven wreck
is substantially the story of the other
wrecks that have drenched the right
of-way in blood during the last two

unimportant.
The central fact is that here is a
railroad system that ought to be the
best managed and the most profitable
in the country. 1t runs practically
through a continuous city from New
York to Boston. When the Rockefel-
ler-Morgan interests gained control
its stock had been quoted as high as
225 IA, and there were no reasonable
limits to the possibilities of it's legiti-
mate development Under these Wall
Street banking methods the stock has

ord of successive disasters is without
a parallel in the history of American
railroad management.
