SELF-STARTERS FOR STUDENTS.

This is the day of the electric self
starter No motor ear is considered
quite luxurious enough for the pOten-
tate or would-be potentate who rides
in one unless il is equipped with an
electric or some other self-startine
device 10 fOrestall any need of per
tentate. Even the motorcycle fiends
are getting out of vicious, persistent
and sometimes prolonged pedaling by
installing self-Starters on their ma
chimes
The whole idea seems to be to help
the man who hasn't enough personal
energy to start things himself. Why
not then apply il to the student who
just cant get started at work that
stares him in the face at the end of the
semester This warm weather takes
all the sclf-startins energy student
ever had, but ii someone would just
apply the electric self-starter princi-
pie, and invent a handy little pocket
device that would make il easy to get
mobbed.

WOMEN DUMPED OUT.
When Horse Became Frightened on Main
Street.

Mrs. Charles Ellenwood OF South Barre
and a woman companion were thrown
from the sleigh in which they were rid
ing near the Howland block shortly after
2 o'clock this afternoon. Their horse be-
came frightened when the sleigh runners
began to CRATE in the car tracks. He
gave sudden lurch that threw the oecu-
pants into the street and then started
on a canter toward the city park. In
front of the Averill hardware store the
sleigh collided with hydrant, but the
house continued travelling. Once he made
a threatening advance on the large win
dow in the Perry & Camp store and a
second collision with something less sub
stantial than a hydrant was narrowly
averted. Reaching the Prospect street
intersection, the horse turned and was
presently leading his pursuers a merry
chase around Burnham's meadow, where
he was afterwards caught.
The women escaped with few minor
bruises. Both were assisted into the
Woolworth store, where they were re-
vived from the effects of a bad scare
The horse, too, escaped injury, although
the sleigh was partially demolished. The
runaway occurred at a time when the
mercantile district was crowded with
shoppers. There was some tall hustling
on the part of pedestrians before the
horse secured the right of way.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Young physician in West Rutland Had
Apparently Been Well.

Rutland, Jan. 17.-Dr. Louis G. Belisle,
aged about 35 years, was found dead
yesterday morning by a member of his
household on Marble street, West Rut-

ing TO indicate that death was not due
TO natural causes.
None of DR.. Belisle's relatives live in
West Rutland, but some of them have
been communicated with to ascertain
whether or not they wish an autopsy
performed. DIR. Belisle has wife and
son who have been living apart from
him in some other place. 1t is known

his automobile having been attached for
debts. The physician had practiced in

thence from Berlin, n. II. He studied

M1DDLEBURY STORE ROBBED.
Marauders Got SIS Worth from John H
Stewards Place.

Middlebury, Jan. l7.-Some time dur
ing Thursday night or Friday morning
the hardware store of John f. Stewart
on Merchant Row was entered and
about $25 worth of material was re-
moved, consisting of revolvers, fash
lights, cartridges, jack knives, watches
and pennies from the cash register The
articles were easily found missing as Mr.
Stewart is taking stock. Entrance was
gained by breaking a light of glass in
the door which leads into the shop on
the east side of the building 1t is evil
dent that the theft was committed by
somebody well acquainted with the store
for they seemed to pick out the best
stuff and found the things that went
together. An attempt to rob this store
was made few years ago, but the
thieves were discovered and got out of
the way.

Earthquakes Accompanied
Two More Violent
Eruptions
TERROR-STRIC
POPULACE FLEES
New Disturbance on Island
of Sakura, Japan,
Last Night

kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 1.-Two
more violent eruptions of the volcano
Sakura -Jima, accompanied by severe
earthquakes, occurred last night, causing
the collapse of many buildings. The
ashes are falling thickly over this city
to-day, causing the inhabitants to flee
terror-stricken.
Professor Omori, the Japanese seis-
mologist, who circled the island of Sa-
kura in boat, found pronounced physi-
cal change. About seven-tenths of the
island is now a desert of lava, and the
remaining land is in such hopeless
condition that it must be abandoned.
Fifteen hundred of the 1000 houses have
been buried, and the estimated property
damage is l0,000,000 yens.
Professor Omori thinks the entire vol
canic range OF kiushiu has entered upon
period of activity that recurs every
sixty years and people must guard
against eruptions at any time
Toxic, Japan Jan l7.-An indication
that the loss of life on the Island OF
Sakura, which was devastated by the
eruption of the volcano Sakura- -Jima,
may be larger than supposed is given
in report received to-day from an Off
cial of the department of the interior
who was sent to Kagoshima and vicin-
ity to investigate. He reports that but
5000 out Of Sakuras estimated popu
lation of 10000 have yet been accounted
for.
Measures for the relief of the sufferers
from the famine in the north and from
the eruptions in the south are rapidly
assuming shape, now that the extent of
the disaster is more definitely known.
Bishop Walter Andrews of the English
church in Hokkaido, the famine-stricken
district, writes that suffering everywhere
is intense. The farmers are the hardest
hit, and their families are eating soup
made of chopped straw, leaves and rotten
potatoes and meat taken from cats and
dogs. The more fortunate have thin
Cruel made of rice or wheat. Many peo-
pie have died of cold or starvation and
many girls have been sold into slavery
and children faint in school, being sick
from lack of food.

Maria s. Lewis) Martin Had Been Ill
for Long Time.

Willamstown. Jan l7.-Maria S.
tLewisl Martin died yesterday after
noon at 1880 o'clock following a gradual
decline for the past six months. She
suffered a stroke of apoplexy in June
1912. from which she never fully re-
covered. The development of heart
weakness in the past few weeks, grow
ing more serious the last two weeks of
her life, was the immediate cause of
the end.
Mrs. Martin was the daughter of
Jonathan and Amanda Virgins Lewis
and was born in Williamstown July "a.
lS45. On November 5, 1865, she
was married to Herbert p. Mar
tin. who died in 1905. She is sur
vived by one brother, Z. c. Lewis of
Rutland, and one son. DR.. L. ID. Mar
tin of Barre, and four grandchildren,
Raymond L., Hildreth f., H. Proctor and

GRAPHIC STORY OF HORROR.
Eruption of Sakura-J Jima Described by
T. R. Hoyer.

Toxic, Jan. IA letter received here
yesterday from 7. r. Hoyer of the
Young Mems Christian association at
Kagoshima tells graphically the story
of the eruption of Sakura-Jima and of
the events that followed it. The letter,
which is dated Jan. II, says:
"Sakura -Jima has now been in vio-
lent eruption for 13 hours. There was
a severe earthquake at 6:35 O'Clock this
evening, and in panic the people fled to
the hills.
"Great damage was done by the shock
Stone walls are lying in the streets,
chimneys have fallen through the roofs
of the flimsy wooden structures, the dixie
lies in ruins, and in every home furni-
ture has been smashed and valuable
vases and ornaments destroyed.
"The people who remain in the city
are camping in the streets, the temple
grounds and grace yards. There has
been no looting, although the shops are
exposed. The crater's roar keeps all
the people awake. The first eruption
occurred at this morning and ashes
were hurled high in the air. Schools
were suspended and business came to
standstill.
"Many persons had left Sakura-Jima,
warned by the severe earthquake shocks
and the swelling of the earth. Hundreds
of smapans brought the destitute across
the bay of Kagoshima. From this city
could be seen the appalling shower Of
rocks, some of them apparently as large
as a house. hurled hundreds of feet into
the air and dropping again on the island.
BY this evening it is probable that all
the villages on the mountain have been
burned.
AT the wharf here many pitiful scenes
were witnessed. Women were weeping
or crying for protection. They could
hardly wait to reach the shore to tell
the story of those left behind. One old
man carried pet bird. Five thousand
destitute persons are quartered in the
schools and temples of Kagoshima. All
the people have fled from the water front
and carts, packed with bedding and
trunks, and women laden with burdens
on their backs, are Fastening from the
city.
"Sakura-Jima, which is 26 miles in
circumference, probably was the most
beautiful island in Japan, but now il
win be a disfguring, ugly mass of pun
ice, if it does not disappear altogether.
As the foregoing sentence was writ
ten door collapsed directly in front of
my desk The air conclusions are ter
rife.
1T is impossible to tell how long the
house will bear the shaking. The very
floor is moving away from under nv
feet. 1t is dangerous to walk in the
streets for fear of being struck by fall
ing walls or tiles. Sleeping is entirely
out of the question.
Early this evening the skies above
Sakura-Iima were fire-red and the large
fun moon actually was bloody. No
painter would have pictured dooms-day
more wildly"
