FIRST REPORTS or s.....-....
70 VOLCANIC TROUBLE
-. NOT EXAGGERATED

Consul-general Hachiro Arita yes
.terlay afternoon received the second
Official report from Toxic, Japan, set
ting forth the details of, the disaster
caused by the recent eruption of the
volcano intake and OF the famine
which, is now sweeping the northern
part OF. Hondo, the largest island OF
the empire. Like the first report, the
message received yesterday gives the
lbss of life and property as being com
parativsly small, The following trans.
lation of the report is published in
the Nippu Jill: -...-~.. J. +.
/ The official report Of the governor
of the prefecture of Kagoshinia, and
Of the special representative of the
department Of the interior, sent to
make an Investigation of the disaster,
are to the effect that the eruption of
the volcano intake is subsiding, and
that the crisis has passed.
"Out of the eighteen villages on the
island Of Sakurajima, nine have been
destroyed, lava and ashes, causing fire
wherever they fell, causing the de-
'struction of more than $40 houses.
The Hist Of the dead and injured, how.
ever, is very small, Judging from the
partial report which has been for
warded here (Tokio). The mhabi-
tants of Kimatsuki aud Aera, two
counties, are the principle sufferers
from the disaster, and those who need
the greatest assistance are numbered
at more than 10000 = I
''The damage in the city of ,Kago-
shima is estimated at. Is dead, 4 burr
led by ashes and falling lava, 81, In
jured, II slightly injured, So homes
destroyed and 113 partially destroyed.
Besides this damage. many smaller
houses, bridges, fences and boats fell
prey to the eruption. The govern
ment buildings are safe. The inhab-
itants of the city who took refuge in
outside points at the first sign OF
trouble from the volcano, are returns
ing, and it is expected that the schools
will, be opened within a few days :
The famine in the province of Hak-
kaido and the northern part Of the
island of Hondo is far worse than the
similar disaster Of 9 years ago. It's
predicted that the 1914 rice crop will
be large
The fund which Is being raised by
the local japanese newspaper is con,
t:nually growing aI'l will probably be
completed within d few days.

UNSUITABLE
Will BE SHIP
OF THE FUTURE

The big steamship OF the future
will be unsuitable, according e
George W. Dickie, designer OF The
new Pacific Coast steamer Congress
and yice-president OF the American
Society Of Naval Architects and Ma
rine Engineers, in an address deIiv
cred before the society in New York
recently. During the maiden voyage
OF the Congress from New York to
San Francisco, Dickie, who was a pas
senger, wrote an opinion and suggest
ed the type OF vessel best suited to
withstand collision at sea or any ac
cident which might arise and make
II necessary for the passengers and
crew OF a modern ship to take to the
'lifeboats.
for a great number of passengers I'd
trust to lifeboats in time Of stress,
He said he could hardly conceive OF
the possibility Of launching a great
number Of small boats under severe
conditions without entailing consider:
able loss of life. ~ @s'3
1t Is possible, according to the de
signer, TO make a vessel unsuitable.
This could be done by installing a
new system OF compartments, all OF
which would extend from the upper
deck down to the fnain shell of the
vessel without any openings of any
kind. ,Dickie -goes into an intricate
mass of technical figures which prove
that the feat is possible and that the
time will come when a lifeboat will
not be needed except TO lower for
persons overheard, but never for a
great disaster. In short, he tends to
show that a properly constructed ship
always viii be perfectly safe. ~
With four feet of space between the
outer and inner skin of this class OF
ship, the vessel would be safe from
any injury to the bottom below the
lower deck and the only danger of
sinking would arise from rupture OF
the skin above the lower deck and
under the waterline, which is at the
upper deck line, Such danger would
arise from collision with another
ship at such an angle as would cause
penetration, or through striking some
stationary mass Between the lower
and upper decks, opening up several
compartments to the sea, as In the
case Of the Titanic. ri
In. discussing penetration By COLI
sion Dickie said the damage would be
vertical and II the striking vessel was
large, would penetrate considerable
distance into the side of the ship. He
said he believed that IN such a disas-
ter not more than three adjacent COM
partlments, II 1t was near anniiship,
would be affected by collision.

MINES WILL USE u. S. MAILS
To Ship Concentrates Destined for
Butte, BY the Parcel
Post

Butte.-A carrier who holds the con-
tract to transport the mail from
Sites, Idaho, to Elk City, Idaho, seems
to be victim of the parcel post He
received notice last week from the
management of three mines in the Elk
river country informing him that the
mines will ship three carloads of con-
centrates in fifty-pound packages this
month by parcel post to the smelter
at Butte.
An inspector assured the postman
that a requisition will be obtained
from the postof1ice department author
lzing him to obtain teams to help in
hauling the concentrates. In the mean
time the carrier will haul what ore he
can on his one trip a day with light
wagon.
The inspectors were also informed
from other sources that the mines in
the Elk river district expect to ship
all their concentrates by parcel post in
the near future, instead of by freight,
as in the past. The rate by parcel post
is 81 cents for the maximum fifty
pounds, or $1.OS a hundred, delivered
at the Butte smelter. The previous ar
rangement cost the mines much more.

MANY MARRIAGES ARE INVALID
Decision in a Montana Court Makes
Hundreds of Couples Law
Defying.

Helena of marriages in
Montana have just been rendered
invalid by decision handed down
by Judge ]. Miller Smith, in denying
the application of Henry G. Cotter, of
Spokane, for appointment as special
administrator of the estate of Mamie
Cruise Cotter, his supposed wife.
Judge Smith held that the marriage
of Miss Cruise to Cotter, ten months
after she had divorced Alva O'Brien,
of New York, was invalid, under the
Montana law, prohibiting the marriage
of an innocent divorced person within
two years and a person divorced for
cause within three years.
An attempt was made to repeal this
law in 1895 but it failed because of a
defect in the title of the repeating act
Since that time it had come to be so
generally discouraged that few per
sons were aware that it was upon the
statutes.
