PeopIe Terrified.

Kagoshima, Japan, Jan, 15.-Houses
on the Island OF Sakura that were left
standing are enveloped in lava and
resemble gigantic wasps. Fugitives
who have returned are still terrified
and refuse to enter their homes ex-
cept to make hurried search for
valuables.
The western part of the island is
coated thickly with melted sulphur.
The southern part is coated with de-
posits of ashes. The condition of the
central part is obscured by the heavy
smoke.
The staff of the Kagoshima obser-
vatory throughout the eruption re-
mained at their posts facing extermi-
nation. They recorded each phase, al
though almost sufocated by poisonous
gases.

WOULD SOUND KNELL
on RULE OF REASON
Stanley, Of Kentucky, to Present New
Antitrust Law Amendment
Gives Endividuals Right to Act.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Represen-
tative Stanley, of Kentucky, after a
conference with the president, intro
duced late today an amendment to
the Sherman law mlhich would make
illegal monopolization or restraint Of
trade Gin any degree" striking at the
''ruIe of reason" laid down by the
supreme court in the Standard Oil
case.
The amendment also would invest
United States circuit courts with ju-
risdiction to restrain and prevent Tio-
lations of the act, irrespective Of the
attorney general. 1t was drawn to
meet the wish of the president, ex-
pressed in his last message to con-
gress, to reduce the debatable area
surrounding the Sherman act. Rep
resentative Stanley today discussed
the measure with the president.
Not Administration Measure.
The Kentucky congressman, who
was chairman of the special commit
tee which investigated the United
States steel corporation, does not Of
fer the measure as an administration
amendment but believes it will be of
service to the committees of congress
which will draft the antitrust legis-
lation after the presidents special
message is delivered.
The Stanley bill would amend the
second and fourth sections of the
Sherman law.
In section 2, in which the supreme
court injected the "rule Of reason
the words "in any degree are in
serted so that the section would read:
every person who shall monopo-
lize or attempt to monopolize, or CON-
bine or conspire with any other per-
son or persons, to roonopolize in any
degree any part of the trade or COM
merce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and on con-
7iction thereof shall be FURNISHED by
fine not exceeding $4,000 or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
by both said punishmen in the dis
erection of the court"

PRESIDENT ASKS AID
As Head of Red Cross Mr. Wilson
Appeals to Americans to
Aid japanese.

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Wilson late to-day issued an appeal to
the American people as president of
the American Red Cross for funds to
assist the people Of japan, who are
suffering not only from the earth
quake, but from the failure of crops.
The presidents appeal follows:
Our sister nation of Japan is suf-
fering from two very serious disasters,
The failure of crops in the northeast
ern part of that country has brought
hundreds Of thousands of persons face
to face with the terrible misery of
slow starvation, and in the southwest
ern island of Kyushu a sudden great
volcanic eruption has carried death
and desolation to large numbers in a
thickly populated district.
"I appeal to the humanity OF our
American people that they may give
expression to their sympathy for the
suffering and distress Of so many Of
their fellow men by generous contri-
buttons for their aid Such contribu-
tions can be made to the local Red
Cross treasurers or sent directly to the
American Red Cross, Washington, D.
c.
Red Cross headquarters announced
tonight that an appeal had been sent
out to all State chapters asking local
chapters to gather the funds.

Half of Island Was Destroyed.

Washington, Jan. 16.-An official
account of the recent volcanic catasr
trophe in Japan was made public by
the Japanese embassy here in the
form of the following cablegram from
Tokyo:
"The volcanic eruption took place
on Sakura-Jima, an island off the city
of Kagoshima, on the 18th and Of g.
500 houses on the island half were
destroyed. The inhabitants took
refuge on the opposite shore; casual
ties unascertainable yet but supposed
not to be great; one report puts it at
200. Volcanic action still continues
but rumbling has ceased.
"The city of Kagoshima also was
visited by earthquake, while the Gin
ders poured down from across the
channel; the inhabitants closed
houses and fled; casualties 20 or more.
Majority of houses received some
damage, and railway, telegraphic and
telephone communications interrupt
ed for while but already have been
restored.
Actual extent, conditions and dam
ages now being ascertained but be-
lieved not to be so serious as re-
ported by the press.
"Karishima-Yama, group of vol
canic mountains covering the north
side of the city of Kagoshima, show
ed volcanic action for a short period,
while the rumblings of Yso-Zan, a
volcanic mountain with the largest
crater in the world, about Is miles
to the north of the city of Kagoshima,
also lasted for while, but no dam
age resulted

FOUNDERS DAY.
Celebrated by University OF South
CaroIin-Three Notable Speeches.

W. F. Caldwell in News and Courier.
Columbia, Jan. 15.-Founders' Day
exercises of the University of South
Carolina came to a close tonight With
an address in the hall of the house OF
representatives by President George
H. Denny, of the University OF Ala
bama, on Certain Higher Duties OF
the Educated Man" During the af-
fernoon, in the University chapel,
Prof. Charles Lee Raper, of the Uni
versity of North Carolisa, spoke on
Shall the South Carolina Taxation
System Bring Forth Efficiency and
Justice?" NJ: A. Wright, of the stud
ent body, spoke on The National
Mis-, ion"
Meetings in the State house tonight
were presided over by Governor
Blease. In introducing the speaker
of the evening Cover nor Blease took
occasion to pay handsome tribute
TO the acting president of the Univer-
sity. DR.. A. C. Moore. 81 hope the
time will not be far distant he said,
when the board Of trustees Of the
University will make DR.. Moore per
manent head of the institution. Con-
tinuing, he said: When this is done
]. as governor, shall lend my full aid
and power to adequately providing for
the needs of the University,
DR.. Denny Speaks.
President Denny, in beginning, spoke
s. of the changed attitude which the peo-
pie generally feel toward the colleges
and universities of the country. 1
think this has been brought about
principally through the fact that uni.
versities and colleges of the land have
begun to ally themselves more active
ly than ever before with the vital
forces of their respective State and
to back up with all their power every
agency making for advancement and
progress.
DIR. Denny developed the three
thoughts, that college men of the pres
ent must take as their creed motto
of service; that they must fight the
ultra-commercial tendencies of the
times. and must lend their efforts to-
ward the raising of ethical standards
of conduct.
The hall of the house was crowded
with an audience which showed its
appreciation of the address of DR..
Denny with frequent applause.
Prof. Raper's Address.
This afternoon in the chapel Of the
University Prof Charles Lee Raper, OF
the University of North Carolina,
spoke of the tax system of this State,
showing that its present status par
mits of much inefficiency and injus-
tice. The address was very practical
and was heard by number of the
members of the legislature. Tonight
a movement is on foot to have a
similar speech delivered before the
general assembly tomorrow by Prof.
Raper, and this will possibly be done.
The State commission on taxation
and more rigid laws governing the re-
turning of property for taxation were
among the principal ideas advanced by
the speaker.
The subject of the Grafton by NJ. A.
Wright, of the student body, was "A
National Mission" The address dealt
with the peculiar opportunity which
America has in leading the movement
for universal peace.

SENATOR ROBINSON
 DEMANDS INQUIRY
INSISTS UPON PROBE OF REPORT THAT CARRANZA PURCHASED
 SENATORIAL INFLUENCE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. WaShington.-An effort Monday by Senator Robinson of Arkansas to start an investigation of a published report that the Carranza government in Mexico had appropriated $75,000 to obtain the influence of two United States senators in bringing about the early withdrawal of American troops then at Vera Cruz caused discussion in the Senate, but resulted in no ac- tion.
 Senators Stone, Gallinger, Penrose and Shoot urged that the dignity of the Senate would be lowered by it's adoption, and on objection of Senator Shoot the resolution went over for the day
 The resolution proposed an invest1- gation by a special committee of five senators empowered to travel in for eign countries if necessary. Senator Robinson said he had talked it over with several senators and decided to charge the Foreign Relations Commit tee with the task. During the debate he agreed to the substitution of the lobby probe committee, and the -reso- lution was in this shape when rre.p tor Shoot objected to further cohs1d eration, saying he hoped it would not be sent to any committee.
 Senator Robinson objected warmly to any but serious consideration for his proposal. He had arrived at an ooraamant with Sanat0rc Ctopo and Gallinger that the lobby committee be charged with the task, when Senator Shoots objection closed the discus sion.
 When the report was brought to the attention of Secretary Bryan, he said it contradicted itself by giving the impression that senators had been paid and then indicating the entry on the Carranza books did not specify the use which was made of the money.
 High officials said that President Wilson had never even discussed the evacuation of Vera Cruz with any members of the Senate.
 Rafael Zubaren Capmany, Washing ton representative of Carranza, who was mentioned in the story as having received the money to influence sen- ators, issued the following statement:
 ''The story is too ridiculous to mer- it consideration. It merely goes to show to what length the Vallistas will go to manufacture fabrications they believe may be of assistance to them in this country"
