LAssEN Has TWO cRArERs


Redding, Calf, June 1S.-The eighth
eruption of Mount Lassen since it last
became active on May 80, was dis
tinctly visible here at noon today, not
withstanding a thick haze that OBJ
scured the outlines of the mountain,
so miles away,
There was little dought today that
seemed to be no doubt today that
Mount Lassen is now smoking from
two craters--the original vent near
the summit, from which all the Sc
rious eruptions since May 80 have
broken out, and a new blow hole on
the south slope.
The new vent was first reported two
days ago Today telephone message
from house 25 miles from Mount
Lassen that dense smoke was pouring
from the south slope. Since the vio-
lent eruption of last Sunday nobody
has ventured to explore the volcano
above the timber line.

PRESIDENT SEES owNnY

Washington. June ISL. A. Ownby,
representing independent coal opera
tors in Colorado, told President VIII
son the Rockefeller and other large
interests in the state we're not at
tempting to settle the strike because
small concerns were being driven out
of business. He told the president
the federal troops we're being used to
assist the large operators.
Ownbey, who vas brought to the
White House by Senator Owen, de
clared that, most of the small mines
were forced to close at the beginning
or the strike and federal troops had
prevented any mines from being re
opened and kept new miners from
coming into the field. While suct
measures we're intended to restore
peace he said. they we're resulting tt

MEXICO

Eagle Pass, Tex, June 1S.-That
General Villa has presented an ulti-
matum to General Carranza, demand
ing the absolute separation of the civil
and military branches of the constitu-
tionalist government, was the SUI
stance of dispatches received at con-
stitutionalist headquarters in Piedras
Negras today A committee Of three
officers was said now to be in con
ference with General Carranza at Sal
tillo, presenting General Villas plan.
According to constftutionalist off
cials at Piedras Negras, his plan is as
follows;
First, Villa to have complete con-
troll of the army ana TO direct the mil
itary policy without in reference,
while Carranza is to have control of
the civil government and foreign rela-
tions.
Second, Villa agrees to recognize
Carranza as his superior, provided
Crranza accords him recognition as
supreme military chief.
Third, the promotion of officers and
the disposition Of their commands to
be in Villas hands.
Constitutionalists expressed their
belief that if these demands were
granted, General Villa would proceed
with the campaign and take personal
command of the forces in the field.
Otherwise, they said, they thought he
would persist in his resignation and
retire to Chihuahua to await such
time as he could serve the constitu-
tionalist cause without friction.
The third clause of Villas alleged
uEtimatum was accepted here as a
direct answer to General Carranza's s
promotion of General Natera to COM
mand the division of the center, and
his resulting disastrous attack on Ia
catecas.. ~
Pascual Morales, chief Of staff to
General Jesus Carranza, commander
of the comstitutionalist forces at
Nuevo Laredo, left for Monterey to
tday. Information concerning his mis-
sion was refused but was said to be
due TO orders from Monterey. Gen.
eral Carranza is brother of the
first chief of the constitutionalists.

Paris, June 1S.-Paul Deschanel, the
president of the chamber of deputies,
today suspended the sittings of the
chamber because of the tumult raised
by the socialist members.
Charles Maurice Binder had de-
manded that day be fixed to discuss
what caused portions of the streets
of Paris to fall in during the rain
storm of June 10. In reply Rene Re
noult, the minister of public works,
said thorough inquiry was in prog
ress, but the results of the investi-
cation would not be available for sew
eral days,
Deputy Joseph Lasies declared he
did not wish to frighten the popula-
ton of Paris, but the union for a long
time had been denouncing certain un-
derground works as badly done.
Numerous other deputies wanted to
speak, but the chamber voted to post
pone the debate until June 26, where
upon the extreme socialists raised a
great clamor, beating the desks and
yelling at the top of their voices. The
lpresident then put on his hat and
closed the sitting, his action being
applauded by the majority of the dep
uties present.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPREssloN's
Washington. June 1S.-President
Wilson told callers today that in
making public letters earlier in the
week to emphasize bis view that a
psychological depression" was be-
ing created, he did SO without the
thought of influencing congress on the
legislative program. but solely to IN
form the public of the method Of being
pursued by those opposed to the ad-
nlinistration's program. The president
said he recognized the right of all to
opinions on the subject. He added
that his. mail every day brought evil
.dences of prosperity throughout the

encouraging reports on the prospects
for an early passage of the trust bills
through the senate and that there
were numerous indications that the
bills will get the support Of num-
ber of republicans.

York" Colonel Roosevelt today mo-
mentarily broke his rule in regard to
politics in order to make this dec
laration while he was proceeding on
board the tender to embark on the
Imperator for New York
Colonel Roosevelt suffered from a
sharp attack of chills on board the
tender. 1t was the first occasion on
which he had felt the chill since he
left New York, and he explained that
it was merely a recurrence of the eff
fects of the jungle fever, which was
to be expected.
The colonel declined assistance and
crossed the gangplanlx to the liner
unaided, but he retired Immediately
to the imperial suite on the Impera-
tor, which had been assigned to him
and his cousin, Philip ]. Roosevelt
Emphasis was laid bv Phillip Roose-
velt on a statement that the colonel
was not suffering from any disease Of
the larynx, but from weakness. which
would prevent him nom sbtBBfng
from the platforms Of trains and sim
liar exposed places. He said, how
ever, the colonel expected to fill an
engagement in Pittsburgh, June 80.
His great desire, however, in the
meantime was for period of home
life at Sycamore Hill. during which
he could rest his voice and forego
politics.
The first to greet the colonel was
Lawrence Abbott, who told Mr. Roose-
welt that he was going to interest him
in golf, but Colonel Roosevelt replied
that he did not feel like chasing a pill
over a ten acre lot.

the Empress of Ireland in the st.
Lawrence river, with the loss of more
than a thousand lives, today startled
the commission, which is irvestigat-
ing the disaster, with statement that
word had reached him that on the
night of the disaster the steering
gear of the Empress of Ireland was
disabled. He had been so informed,
he said, by K M. Galway of the Emr

Lord Mercy, chairman of the court
of inquiry, Immediately took hand
in the proceedings and it was said
Galway would be called as witness
this afternoon, Galway was ON the
bridge at the time of the accident and,
according to HATS statement, said
1.-THE Empress steering gear was jam
med.
Captain Kendall of the Empress,
called to the stand, repudiated Gal
ways story, as did Chief Engineer
Sampson. Captain Walsh, marine SUI
perintendent of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, owners of the Empress, de
MED any attempts had been made to
get Galway out of the country.
When the hearing was resumed af
ter luncheon recess, James Francis
Galway whose accusation Haight had
related took the stand.
He said that he had made certain
claims about the steering gear of the
Empress to Haight at the suggestion
of the representative Of sailors and
lfiremen's union, whose names he did
not know. He contended that the
Empress sheered around in opposition
to her helm when coming up the st
