JAP VOLCANO
IN ERUPTION
Ashes on Mulberry Trees May De.
stoy Food Of Silk
Worms.

Karuizawa, Japan, May 26-(De-
layed.)-When the villagers living
in the neighborhood of Mount As
anna, an active volcano, woke up
yesterday morning they were sur
prised to find a thin coating Of vol
canic ash and dust on every leaf Of
the trees in the vicinity. A steady
fall of ashes was experienced
throughout all the villages nearby,
accompanied by an intermittent
rumbling with occasional weak
eruptions.
A fall of ashes on the mulberry
trees may mean ruin Of these plants
and every effort is being made to
wash away the ashes in order to
assure a plentiful supply Of good
food for the silk worms.

CAPTURE MAN
WHO WRECKED
ALTON TRAIN
Andy Brennan, Asy-
lu,,, Inmate. Said to
Haze Done Job.

Springfield, Ill, June 23.-Mys-
terry surrounding the wreck of the
Chicago & Alton Hummer" near
Shirley, on the night of May 10.
Is believed by railroad officials to
have been solved with the capture
of Andy Brennan, an escaped in
mate Of the Jacksonville state hos
pital, at Centralia. Brennan has
been returned to Jacksonville. Be-
cause of his mental condition it is
said he will not be prosecuted for
wrecking the train.
Although he denied sending the
fast passenger train through an
open switch, railroad detectives
said the mans statements plainly
show that he was responsible for
the wreck.
Brennan, it is said, has an inven-
ton which he tried to sell to the
Chicago & Alton. He also sought
employment with the railroad. He
possesses good knowledge of rail-
reading and even knows the de-
tails Of locomotive construction.
Brennan escaped from Jackson
vile in April. He was seen in
Bloomington for several days preyi-
.ous to the wreck south of the city
and disappeared the night the
Hummer" was ditched.
|, Tells Story to Detectives.
Telling his story to railroad de.
tectives, Brennan said he came G
Springfield the night of the wreck
and then went to St Louis, latel
to Champaign and then to Cen.
tralia.
When arrested he had $500 and
it was learned that he had earned
good wages at foundry in Cham
paign.
Brennan has made several es.
capes from the Jacksonville institu
ton since his first commitment il
1914.
Several persons were injured 1,
the wreck which was caused b,
an open switch. The person re
sponsible for the wreck fixed tn,
signal lights to indicate that tn
| switch was closed.

SENATOR CALLS
SOLDIER BONUS
7 ACT OF JUSTICE
McC lumber Flags War
Time fsProfiteering
Pirates".

Washington, June 23.-War time
"profteering pirates" were flayed
in the senate today by Senator NC
Cumber, Republican, Of North Da-
kota, in an address advocating his
bill for giving adjusted compensa-
ton to former service men. The
measure reported favorable by the
finance committee, would not only
be an act Of gratitude but of JUS
tice, he said.
Great as it seems to be when
crystalized into dollars and cents"
the senator said, I'VE are compelled
to admit that it is much less than is
actually due the soldier selected for
military duty as compared with
that which was received by his
countrymen who performed civil
duties only"
Explains Plan of Bill
Senator McCumber explained the
f1ve-fold plan of the bill as en-
dorsed by the American Legion, for
a cash payment of 81 a day for
domestic and $1.25 for foreign
service, for 20 years deferred pay
ment and insurance certificates, for
farm or home aid, for vocational
training privileges, and for land
settlement aid. He estimated that
80 per cent of former service men
would exercise their option of the
five plans by taking the 20 year
certificates which, he said, would
! really give service men 40 per cent
more than the cash option. If the
other 20 per cent should take cash.
the senator said, the bill would not
entail an annual burden upon the
government Of more than $500, ,000,-
900 unit 1913.
Even though our action calls for
an outlay we would gladly escape,
he said, "and will enforce greater
economy along other lines, let us
not delay the fulfillment of this, to
my mind, sacred financial obliga-
tion, and then let future congress
see to it that in any future war
there shall be no distinction be-
tween the patriotic duty Of the sol
dier and that Of the civilian and
that industrial stacking and prof
| iteering will be visited with as heavy
a penalty as q draft evasion or de-
sertion."
Scores War Administration.
Senator McCumber said the war
time administration started Out
with the determination to satisfy
the demands of both organized CAPT
tai and organized labor, and leave
the public to foot the bill, which II
has done and will continue to do in
exorbitant taxes and extortionate
prices for many, many years tt
come.
This administrative policy" hi
added, might be more aptly de.
scribed as playing both ends
against the middle, the two ends
being capital and labor and tn,
middle being the paying public"
| The government could have pro
tected itself from the "profiteerins
pirates" said Senator McCumber
"by establishing and maintaining
peace-time prices for c0mmoditie:
and labor"

II stand for health insurance, oil,

Mr. Lewis said that he had take,
