Toxic, Jan. 17.-Japan saw with
profound amaZement today the Off
cial announcement that the loss of
life at the Sakura Jima eruption was
small. The governments report is
not implicitly believed, as it recent
ly secured a tight grip on Japan's
news gathering business to exploit the
country's resources. Evidently, how
ever, there is much basis for the Of
fetal claim that the early stories, in
which enormous numbers were re-
ported killed, were sent out by ter
rifed refugees who exaggerated pro-
digiously. 1t is admitted that 1000
houses were destroyed on Sakura ISL
and and that many unaccounted for
are probably dead, although only elev-
en- bodies have been found. Thou
sands of refugees are destitute.

YUMA GROWERS ARE
TO PROMOTE COTTON

At the solicitation of the Produce
Growers Association of Yuma, James
H. Meadows, William Huss and r. L..
Kent of that city, were in conference
here yesterday at Hotel Oregon with
Argyle MacLachlan and w. E. Will
sic, cotton experts of Imperial valley,
for the purpose of gaining informa-
tion on the growth, care, best seed to
plant and ginning of cotton.
According to the gentlemen from
the Colorado river city, the growers
association of that section are back
of move to purchase 5000 acres
which will be devoted to the growth of
long staple cotton. 1t is their belief
that cotton-Durango cotton-will net
larger returns and thrive as well, if
not better, than other crops which
have been their standard for years.
Selected seed, from the Wilsie planta-
ton, near Seeley, will be used in the
first paintings.
Before the conference at the Ore
gon, Mr.. Meadows, who is brother
of Sheriff Mobley Meadows, Mr.. Kent
and Mr.. Huss, accompanied by Hor-
ticultural Commissioner f. w. Waite
and Sheriff Meadows, motored about to
several cotton plantations where the
visitors could talk with the owners on
the ground and see what is being done
here. A visit was also made to the
cotton gin and the oil mill so that
every feature of the industry would
be covered.

Manslaughter Is
Verdict of Jury

Returning a verdict of manslaugh-
ter and recommending the prisoner to
the mercy of the court, the twelve
men who have been deliberating on
the fate of Louis Brandenbourg filed
into the Superior court room at 1920
o'clock this morning and through their
foreman, C. C. Toney, delivered their
findings to Judge Cole. Judgment will
be entered Monday morning.
When the jury failed to report last
night and the early morning hours
crept by it was the general conjec-
ture that this would be another hung
jury. This was somewhat strength
ened when it became known that a
about 9 o'clock the men requested in
formation as to what the penalty
would be in the case of a manslaughtel
verdict.
AS the jury filed into the court room
Brandenbourg sat we'll forward in his
chair with a drawn, tense look on his
face and his hands were tightly
clenched When the verdict was an
nounced his features relaxed and a
look of pleasure crossed his face.
In speaking on the verdict this
morning, Attorney Charles l.. Brown
who conducted the defense, said that
Brandenbourg should have been ac
quilted and naturally he was disap-
pointed, although the jury returned the
lightest verdict possible, other than
acquittal.
1t is held that the defendant hurt
his own case while on the stand yes
terday. When questioned by District
Attorney Phil D. Swing as to re-
mark he made Se blurted out:
"No, I didrl say that. I said
should have gde back and got Ri
ley. He was the man responsible for
the trouble
The first ballot taken by the juror
stood 7 for manslaughter and 5 for
acquittal. This stand was kept dur
ing the night hours, but this morning
a change was made, the ballots be-
ing 9 to until the final one, the
three holding osE for the mercy clause.

Terrible Storms at Sea
Doing Vast Damage and
Threaten Many Lives

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE four
masted schooner Polaris, with sixteen
men aboard, which went ashore at
Duxbury Reef, near Point Reyes, this
morning, is threatening to break in
two. The revenue cutter Iroquois is
standing by, but at o'clock it had

Point Reyes life saving crew started
for the scene at daybreak.
At 10 o'clock four rescue ships were

to the owners said:
"The Polaris is lying on her star
board side. The life saving crews are
expected momentarily. Captain Han
sen and crew will be saved

the sea was too high to attempt aid

POincare in Office One Year.

Omitted Press Day Service)
Paris, Jan. 17.-Undoubtedly the
most popular man in France is Pres
ident Raymond Poincare, who, today.
one year ago, was elected by the Yer
sailles congress. Notwithstanding it
is an open secret that the president
and his present cabinet are somewhat
at odds. When Poincare was elected
a year ago he was considered the peo-
ple's candidate. Old school politicians
among whom were Georges Clemen-
ceau, Emile Combes, Dubois Of the
senate, Deschanel of the chamber, Eu-
gene Caillaux and Alexander Ribot
opposed him, it is said, because it was
known that he would not consent to
play a purely decorative part in the
government. 1t is also stated that he
would have been defeated had the rank
and file in the senate and chamber
dared oppose an avalanche of public
opinion.
Poincare's first cabinet was headed
by Aristide BRAND. 1t is known that
the views of the two men are almost
identical. The second chamber, head
ed by Louis Barthou, changed matters
little. The third and last, headed by
CASTOR Doumergue, it is claimed is
dominated by the politicians who op-
nose Poincare. and. when BRAND pot
up in the chamber and criticised its
policies, people remarked that it was
almost as if the president himself was
talking. The president has little to
do with naming his cabinet Upor
suggestions of senate and house lead
ers, he charges some one to form 6
cabinet which is directly responsible
to the chamber. In the words of GER
