California Volcano, Mount

Countryside
IN ERUPTION
ALL NIGHT
Two New Cones Form and
a Third Grows
Larger

Red Bluff, Cal, June l6.--Mount Las
sen, 90 miles south of the Oregon line
and 80 miles west of the Nevada line,
the worlds newest active volcano, splut-
tered through the early hours yester-
day.
What may come from her two new
cones, which came into existence Sunday
night, or the third, which has been grow
ing larger steadily since May 80, is a
matter of much scientific conjecture.
Her activities, beginning with geyser-
like steam clouds two weeks ago, have
augmented steadily, until burst of
smoke rising 1000 feet Sunday morning
was followed that night by pillar of
fire visible hundred miles down the
Sacramento valley.
w, II. Storms, former state mineralo-
gist, who arrived here Sunday to make
observations, secuted the geyser theory.
Indications are that Lassen will imi-
tate the performance of Krakatoa, vol
cano on the island of Java" he said
"krakatoa in 1888, after few minor
disturbances similar TO Lassen's present
activity, burst into one tremendous ex-
plosion, which destroyed the mountain
and spread pail of darkness over thou
sands of square miles.
1T is a mistake to put the disturb
ance in the class of geysers. Geysers do
not eject rocks, scoria, cinders and ashes.
These are the characteristics of genuine
volcanoes. Lassen is in active and vio-
lent eruption"
Professor T. j. j. See, observer at
Mare Island navy yard, scientist of
international reputation, was more com
forting.
81 hardly think the activity of Lassen
Will become so great as TO produce erup-
tons of lava he said 1T is likely to
maintain a feeble and comparatively
harmless activity. Lassen is 200 miles
from the ocean, which is too far inland
to become a source of much real danger"
Jesse Wright and J. H Reagan of Red
ding, who early yesterday reached
point within three-quarters of a mile of
the main crater, said they were envel-
oped in sulphurous fumes and saved
themselves from suffocation by lying on
their faces and digging into the ground

Greene Gaynor Cases
To Figure at Savannah.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 24.-It became
known in Savannah to-day that the
House Judiciary Committee investi-
eating the charges of official miscon-
duct on the part of Federal Judge
Emory Speer would begin its session
in Savannah on Monday in the Fed
eral courtroom.
Several Savannah attorneys, who
have had open clashes with Judge
Speer in the courts, have filed pa
pers with the department, and these
will be the principal witnesses.
The Greene and Gaynor cases will.
of course, come in for large part of
the investigation here, for the draw
ing of the Grand Jury for this indict-
ment has been charged as irregular.
None of the jurors were from Chat
ham County.
The fact that Judge Speer had a
real or fancied antipathy to Chatham
County juries was recently substan-
tiated in the trial of the Beech Man
ufacturing Company case, when
Judge William Sheppard, of Florida,
found the jury box exhausted because
there were no Chatham County names
in the box. He commented on this in
open court and sent his deputies out
to summon some.

torneys for contempt of court with
out justification. He said he was
fined $40 for excepting to one of the
judges statements.
Mr.. Jones said the judge was too
quick to appoint receivers without
notice, on eX parte hearings, and had
been several times censured for it by
the Appellate Court.
Says Soul Diseased.
Harry Stilwell Edwards, noted au-
thor and former postmaster of Ma
con, in tetifying as to Judge Speer's
varying moods with regard to his
mental condition, described the
judges trouble as follows
Destructive spirituality embrac es
those emotions which we classify I'M
der jealousy, envy, malice, hatred,
self praise, love of praise and desire
ter public APPRECIATION. Those cover
destructive spirituality. They are Ia
tai to the soul of any man that Will
entertain them long enough. l think
they have Judge Speer in their grasp.
That is my opinion of Judge Speer."
Mr.. Edwards was the most interest
ing witness before the investigators
Friday afternoon.
Shift to Savannah.
After to-day's sitting the probe
into the charges against Judge Speer
will shift to Savannah, where at least
week will be spent.
Judge Speers lawyers regard the
testimony of Friday Of the most Sc
rious brought out. but they have an
explanation or reconciliation for every
feature of 1t.
A feature of the Friday afternoon
session was the introduction of an af-
fidavit from Harry Burns, former
bailiff. in confederation of the charge
made by District Attorney Alexander
Alderman as to Judge Speer's alleged
manipulation of a jury at Albany in
the trial of a banker.
Kept Jury Walking.
This jury stood ten to two for con
viction, and the fact was reported tC
Judge Speer. The District Attorney
swears that Marshal White stated
that he (White) had ben ordered by
the judge not to let the jury delib-
crate any more, but to keep then
walking from supper to bedtime.
The affidavit from Bailiff Burns is
to the same effect, and also that he
did walk the jury until 10 o'clock
The next morning he brought the jury
into court, and a mistrial was de-
clared.
1t is claimed by Judge Speer's at
torneys in regard to the jury episode
that he merely wished to give the
jurors plenty of exercise.

j. {. WORKING To
EXPAND TRADE
ABROAD

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Jan. "a
The Administrator proposes to lend
its strength to expansion of the for
eign trade of the United States, said
Secretary of Commerce Redfield IN
addressing the Chamber Of Commerce
here to-day. He declared that the
days of misunderstanding between
big business" and the Government
We're at an end
Il am not here" he said Ito arouse
the business conscience or to raise
the banner of revolt against business
procedure, and certainly not to de-
nounCe or destroy. The sense of what
is fit, the knowledge of what is due
to their own honor is rCw so keenly
alive among the business community
that when the achievements of our
recent discussions shall be wrought
into law business will be not found
wanting in willingness to take up
what work may remain.
Aim to Aid U. S. Trade.
The Department of Commerce has
for its Chief-indeed, its sole-purpose
to aid in the growth of all our conf
merce till it shall enter every land
and till its product shall be borne ol
every sea. The policy of the depart
ment rests on confidence in the ability
Of the American business men to meet
without fear and upon equal terms
and with profit the men Of any ma
ton.
Let us ignore the evil prophets,
who for political purposes preach ma
tional panic. Let US see whether the
cry of business depression is true.
America suffers from no disaster. She
is better off, when the worst is said,
than her sister nations. From the
bottom, which is not deep she has al
ready arisen far and is rising The
reaction from the Balkan war, which
tied the purse strings of Europe and
shut down it's mills was naturally re :
flected here to some small degree. But
1t was not serious.
1T was perfectly proper, that bust
ness men whose output was affected
more or less by the new tariff should
give thoughtful heed how to adjust
themselves to it. They would have
been foolish had they done other
wise.
Day of Uncertainty Past.
1T was quite natural that men
should wait and wonder while the
currency bill was under discussion
as to what the outcome would be.
They might fairly ask whether the
old inflexible system was to continue,
so that in time of strain men might
not know what would happen.
These things are past. This is no
longer the day of doubt, but the hour
of hope. There is now pending IN
| Congress a reorganization of the Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce in our department. 1t is THIS
great bureau which de9is chiefly Win
commercial affairs, officers of TINS
bureau have been established in many
cities. The agents of the bureau
travel over the earth, each studying
his special subject. All of these e
ports are for the use of the American
| business man.
81 do not wish YOU to think the De-
| partment of Commerce looks only
upon the foreign commercial field But
we believe that much can be done fo'
the American business man there
