LASSEN MUD DRIVES
PEOPLE FROM HOME

Redding, Cal, May 24.-Their farms
buried by Lassen peak under a thick
layer OF volcanic mud which has sol
idifed into an impervious hard pan,
refugees from Hat Greek valley said
today they had no intention, for the
present at least. Of returning to their
homes. The menace of the volcano,
they said, made life too precarious in
the valley. Sixteen families fed from
the valley when Saturdays tremen-
dous explosion sent a river OF ejecta
down the mountain side. They found
refuge in Burney, a hamlet far re-
moved from the danger zone. Lassen
vas reported by automobilists 20 have
been IN eruption again last evening.
but owing 10 cloudy skies the outbreak
was not generally observed.
From small towns in the shadow or
the mountain word came today that
feverish excitement was prevailing.

and confirmed them. Pleas for har-
mony by certain members were disrc-

wordy battles again entered into the
meeting As the situation stands at
present there is no hope for harmony
during the life of the administration.
The shannon Bell-Boach faction,
which IS IN control. made mistake in
the vote for Harry Mccullough as DAY
marshal Both shannon and Roach in
some manner got the idea that Nc
Cuiioueh was named by President
Watkins for only 30 days. Later. when
they found that II was for = permanent
position the room was IN an uproar
but the president refu7ed 10 consider
the vote. and the selection of McCul-
Tough stands.
President Watkins then offered for
confirmation the appointment Of Hig-

but the other faction stood pat for
Hopson and affirmed his reappoint-
ment-
Councilman Abrams Is still absent
from Silvis and II Is said that there is
some doubt as 10 his return Some of
the citizens are already discussing the
possibilities OF holding a special cleo
ton TO iii his place He Is known to
be aligned with the Shannon-Bell-

A wrangle followed the appointments
as TO the right OF the council 10 name

from Attorney z II. RaiIsback to the
eject that appointments must be made
BY the president OF the board and trus-

could not make appointments alone.
The attorney was careful to state,
however. that what he had said was

SENATE MAY
DROP SHIP
TEMPORARILY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 18.-Ef-
forts to avoid an extra session of con-
gress crystallized at noon today in ne
gotiations between hostile forces in the
senate, looking to an armistice that
would permit the passage of urgent
supply bills, leaving the ship-purchase
measure to be settled in the last days
of the session. The success Cf the ne
gotiations cannot be forecasted at this
hour, though leaders of both parties
are said to be working together in the
proposal.
The democrats, it is stated, have pro-
posed to opponents of the shipping bill
that the measure be sent to confer
ence, with instructions to report back
at the end of ten days, the interven-
ing time to be devoted solely to the
consideration of supply bills and ur-
gent deficiency measures. The repub-
licans today showed no intention TO
relax their filibuster against the ship
ping bill, and leaders on that side stat
ed opponents of the measure were pre-
pared to supply continuous debate
until March 4th, if necessary TO defeat
the bill.

GEORGIA BUYS
75,000,000 Lbs.
MEAT EVERY YEAR.
COMMISSIONER PRICE WOULD
PROMOTE CATTLE RAISING IN
STATE.
Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 1S.-"Georgia
can make every pound of the five to six
million pounds of meat we are now i'm
porting into the State every month,
said Commissioner of Agriculture J. d.
Price, "and some to sell besides"
There is no doubt about the fact that
the animal industry is coming in Geor-
gia, Commissioner Price declares, but
it ought to come faster The new pack
ing plant just opened at Moultrie
shows that the people are taking hold
of it down there and there is no doubt
others will follow just as rapidly as
there is demand for them
Georgia imported 5,373,242 pounds
of meat in January and 5,741 1926
pounds in December, Commissioner
Price said 81 have the actual figures
right before me- Here is what we
bought in one month, January, and a
month of hard times at that: Dry salt
meats 2,493, ,553 pounds; packing house
products, including sausage, livers,
ETC., 912,283 lbs; lard and lard COM
pounds 574,319 pounds; hams 99,763
pounds; fresh beef 353, ,429 lbs; fresh
pork SS7,366 lbs; and fresh mutton
52,529 lbs.
Somebody is making good money
selling us approximately 100000
pounds of meat year-money that VIC
might very easily keep at home. There
are no better grazing ranges anywhere
than right here in Georgia. Already
there are good packing plants in At
lanta, Moultrie and Augusta, and 9TH
ers will come as soon as there is a
product for them to handle.
This department is ready to assist
and cooperate with anyone who wants
to go into cattle and hog raising. Our
state veterinarian, DR.. Bahnsen, will
give his personal attention TO any in
quiries upon this line. The opportun-
ity is ripe and we hope more Georgia
farmers will take up this important
work"

ALL PASSENGER
TRAFFIC WILL De
SUSPENDED
(By Associated Press.J

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Total suspension
of all passenger traffic between Eng
land and Holland was an immediate
effect of the German blockade of the
British Isles. This became known late
today, when Flushing boats declined
to accept passengers. Scandinavian
lines are as yet unaffected, though few
persons cared to accept the risk pre-
scented, and only those having urgent
business on the peninsular took pas
sage on steamers leaving English ports
today.
Meanwhile, the British public con-
tinues to study the German reply to
the American note concerning the war
zone. There has been no perceptible
yielding on the part of Germany, and
that government, apparently, awaits
the announcement OF Great Britain's S
expected retaliatory campaign, with lit
tie uneasiness.
The British press today comedies the
Russians suffered severe loses dur
ing their retreat from East Prussia,
and that the German victory in that
area was decisive.
