Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 15.-The
houses on the island of Sakura--those
that still stand-are enveloped in lava
and resemble gigantic wasps. The fu-
gitives who have returned are sun
terrified and refuse to enter their
homes, except to make hurried
search for valuables. Fears are en-
tertained of the disintegration of Sa-
kura a-Jima.
The western part of the island is
thickly coated with melted sulphur.
The southern part is covered with a
great deposit of ashes. The condition
of the central part is obscured by the
heavy smoke.
Throughout the eruptions the STAFF
of the Kagoshima observatory remain
ed at their posts, facing determination
and calmly recording each phase. They
were almost suffocated by poisonous
gases.
A pathetic scene was witnessed to-
day on the island of Sakura, when
group of famished, terror-stricken peo-
pie were rescued from amid steaming
lava and heated boulders by a boat
from Japanese warship.
A cruiser squadron arrived here to-
day and launches were at once lower
ed, whose crews made systematic
scrutiny of the island, the contour of
which has been entirely altered since
the bursting into eruption on January
IL of the volcano of Sakura -Jima.
All was DISSOLUTION and no sign OF
human beings was seen until evening
when an officer in one of the launches
noticed something being waved in the
air at a short distance from the shore
A detachment of men was landed
and after hard struggle succeeded in
making their way through soft, warm
ashes, breast high, until they. reached
O. great rock Covering behind it they
found SO people still living, but coat

ed with dust and weakened by starva-
ton and thirst Among the rescued
was q schoolmaster who had borne
with him from his schoolhouse the por-
trait of the Emperor; the village po-
liceman, who had saved the records
of the station house, and the postal
clerk with a small bag of mail.
The rescued were taken on board
warsnip and provided with food and
drink. They explained that they hao
hidden in great cave near the siiofe
until tie rain of ashes was over ana
had thus tried hour after hour to at
tract attention.
The general volcanic activity on the
island of Kiushiu is gradually apat-
irg and the work of restoring rallroad
and telegraph communication Is pc
ing proceeded with.
Damage in this city is immense, but
no approximate estimate can yet be
made of the loss of human life.

Senator Ashurst, was read in the Senate
today and later withdrawn as a violation
of the courtesy due member of the
other house.
Senator Townsend of Michigan pre-.
sented the message with a copy of a sim
liar telegram sent to President Wilson by
Gov. Ferris. 1t asserted that law and or.
der were being preserved in the copper
district, the courts open, the grand jury
available to every citizen of the state.
Senator Bacon of Georgia objected tc
the reading of the message.

PECULIAR METHOD OF
WIRE TAPPING G--CONVIC-
TON AT LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles. Jan. 15.-H. v. Warnock,
telegraph operator of an alleged bucket
shop, was convicted by a jury in the su-
peror court today of having tapped a
brokers' leased wire by utilizing the cleo
trical property of induction, The case
is the first on record in which a wire
Taper obtained results without actually
tapping wires.
Warnock was alleged to merely have
obtained telephone wire contained in the
same cable which carried the broker s
high tension wire. He listened in tel
ephone receiver to the dots and dashes
which were transmitted over the tele-
graph wire.
BY this means Warnock, it was charg-
ed. obtained access to stock quotations
and other information carried over the
brokers' leased telegraph wife from New

that the hiring of armed bodies of men
by private mine owners and other cor
porations and the use of steel armored
trains, machine guns and blood hounds
on defenceless men, women and chill
dren is but a little way removed from
barbarism. l, at the risk of criticism
by many friends and countrymen, un-
hesitatingly say that government own
ership of the mines is the only hope
or solution for those who may come
after us.
These thoughts are not a dream of
today, but the result of many years of
thought and consideration. My recent
investigation into condition in the
Paint and Cabin Creek strike with all
the attendant horrors has confirmed
my thoughts into fixed judgement"
At night session John Wolverton.
chief tonnage clerk of the Reading
Railway at Port Richmond, this city,
where hard and soft coal is transfer
red to vessels for shipment to New
England and other points, testified
that a daily report of all coal reeeiv-
ed there is sent to the general sales
agent of the Reading Coal & Iron
Co., whether the coal belongs to the
coal and iron company or to other
shippers. The practice of sending to
the agent reports of coal shipped by
others than the coal and iron COM
pany was discontinued several months
ago, the witness said, when attention
was called to the fact that it was inn
proper.
r. p. Rickard, secretary and treas
urer of the New York, Ontario &
Western Railway, said that the
Scranton Coal Co. and the Elk Hill
Coal & Iron Co, both owned by the
railway. have been operated in the
last few years at a loss.

Arthur Williams, president of the
Electric Vehicle Association of Amer
ica, suggests that traffic congestion in
New York. Chicago and other busy
cities could be relieved by doing the
trucking by night instead Of by day.
There is believed to be no reason why
wholesale trucking could not be done
at night. Goods may be moved from
the terminals to warehouses and the
moving in large quantities Of mer-
chandise to the large department
stores does not have to be done in the
daytime. Mr.. Williams even suggests
that coal might be delivered to large
buildings at night. When the streets
are not occupied by other traffic great
er speed may be maintained and de-
liyeries may be made in less time.

operative action in marketing their
products as well as in obtaining leg
islation favorable to the industry, were
advocated by speakers at the first days
sessions here of the 50th annual con-
vention of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association. The proceedings were
marked by criticisms of President
Wilson and his attitude toward the
wool tariff schedule, in the annual re-
port of the secretary S. w. Mcclure.

THE sheepman made the mistake,

Mr.. Mcclure declared that na'

INDICTMENTS ARE A CLUB.

Keep Him from Strike Zone.

Butte. Mont, Jan. 15.--John C. Low
ney, member of the executive board
OF the Western Federation of Miners,
when informed today that he had been
indicted at Heughton, declared his
belief that the. indictments would be
held as a club to prevent the strike
leaders returning to the copper coun-
try.
They will not accept property
bonds" said Lowney, "and unless we
take the money which we are paying
out in strike benefits and put up cash
bonds We shall be held in Jail when We
return"
