WOULD REPEAL
F|REMEN' $ PENSION
TAXPAYERS DO NOT BEAR THIS
BURDEN AS THE MONEY COMES
FROM INSURANCE.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 21.-The pro
posed repeal of the firemens pen
sion act by the legislature, urged on
the grounds that it would reduce
taxes, would do nothing to Tighten
the load of the taxpayers, accord
ing to Mark Kesler, chief of the city
fire department. He says the money
for this purpose is derived from a
l per cent tax on all premiums paid
to the foreign fire insurance compan-
les.
The act provides for the pension
ing of disabled firemen, their de-
pendent wives and children, relief for
disabled firemen for certain length
of time and service pensions for fire
men who wish to retire after twenty
years service.
Chief Kesler said:
Il see that some members of the
Legislature have presented bill to
repeal this law and / honestly think
that in doing SO they do not thorough
ly understand the situation. And
take this means to enlighten the leg
islators and taxpayers Of the state
and to show them that to pass such
an act would be injustice to the brave
firemen who protect their property,
homes and lives II necessary, at
times at the cost of their own health
and lives.
There appears to be a misunder-
standing in regard to the manner in
which the money is raised for this
purpose. The pension acts passed
in 1907 and 1909 do not impose a
single penny tax against the tax
payers of the state. The money is
derive from l per cent tax on all
insurance premiums paid to the for.
eign fire insurance companies by the
people in the cities, towns and will
ages so that it can be plainly seen
that the taxpayers could not possibly
gain anything by the repeal of the
firemen's pension act now in force"

VOLCANO DRIVES
OUT THOUSANDS
MExICANS FORCED TO ABANDON
,HoMES-HoT SAND AND DEAD.
LY GASES FROM COLIMA.

Guadalajara, Mexico, Jan. 21.-The
volcano of Colima broke into violent
eruption last night. Thousands Of
people are fleeing from the villages
and ranches in the vicinity. 1t is
believed there has been loss of life
in the remoter settlements.
Hundreds of refugees arrived here
this morning on train composed of
box cars which had been picked up
on a siding at a nearby village. The
fleeing people had found it neces-
sary to shovel away a quantity of
volcanic sand before they were able
to move the cars, and for mnay
miles along the way here the train
had to be stopped frequently to clear
the track of debris.
Vast Quantities of Sand.
Little. lava was elected from the
crater, which, however, emitted vast
quantities of smoke and sand, while
suffocating gases formed an unusual
feature of the eruption.
"A gale was blowing from the north
west and this probably saved many
of the inhabitants of the surround
ing districts, as it caused the flying
sand and deadly gases to pass over
their heads.
The activity of the volcano decreas-
ed during the night, but volcanic
dust is now settling on the house
roofs and in the streets Of this city.
Railroad Agent FIees.
The railroad station agent at Ia
potitlis abandoned his post during
the night. He reported that volcanic
sand covered the tracks in places to
depth of several feet.
The last violent eruption Of Co
lima occurred in 1902.

COMMITTEE OF NINE
WILL INVESTIGATE
TO WORK DURING TERM-SEN-

FRAME BY MAJORITY.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 2l.-Speaker
MaXey will r2me a committee OF
nine house members to make an in
vestigation of departments and insti-

islature, and if the senate will agree
to a recess, or there should be an
extra session of the Legislature, the
committee is empowered to work
during the interim.
If there be no recess, and the
committee makes no findings by the
time the present session ends, the
committee dies with the session. 1t

not agree to recess. The commit
tee. of which the house speaker
shall be chairman, under its terms,

minister the oath, compel the pro-
ducton of papers and records, and

presented by members calling for
various characters of investigations.

the session, and ending with the
hour of adjournment.
Constit ! ionaI Majority.
The senate action in rejecting the
confirmation of Lon M. Frame as a
member of the state board of affairs

of the senate is believed to have
been clinched by the senate's action
today. BY vote of % to is, it
adopted a majority report from it's
legal advisory committee, declaring
that in combinations it required
constitutional majority voting in the
affirmative. This means twenty-three
votes for confirmation. Frame re-
ceived but twenty-one There was
a minority report holding to the
view that a majority of qorum
present could confirm. The majority
report relied chiefly upon the terri
torial state, which, 1t held, mad not
been abrogated by the constitution,
while the minority report took the
view that a majority of the whole
senate was only required in passing
bills and that a majority Of a quorum
could transact business.
The reports affecting John B. Doo-
lin and Ben w. Riley were not
reached today.
Railroad officials who care to ap-
pear before the house committees for
