VOLCANO MORE ACTIVE.

Recent Earth Tremors Cause Added Activity at Mount Popocatepetl, Mex.
 Mexico City, Feb. 5.-Mount Po- pocatepetl seemed yesterday to have been reused into more vigorous vol canic activity by the earthquake which on Thursday night shook the Isthmus of Tehauntepec destroying much property and probably causing the deaths of many persons. Indians living at the foot of the mountain were much disturbed by the appear ance of smoke wreaths around the summit, fearing a disastrous tremor.

WIRES CUT IN BELFAST.
to Prevent Carson's Speech
 From Being Sent Out Unsuccessful.

Belfast, Feb. 5.-Attempts to iso- late Belfast from communication with the rest of Ireland were made last night, telephone and telegraph wires being cut in every direction. IL was suggested that the object of these at tempts was to prevent the circulation throughout Ireland of the address made by Sir Edward Carson at the session of the Ulster unionist coun- cil here yesterday. The address, how ever, had already been telegraphed before the wires were severed.
 Communication between Belfast ard Dublin and Londonderry was in- terrupted.

SICKNESS THIS TIME OF YEAR Make Sure Your Blood Is Rich and Red-In Fighting ! Trim. TAKE GUIDES PEPTO-
 MANGAN NOW If You Tire Easily and Feel Run Down, You Need the Best Blood Tonic You Can Get, Which Is Gude's
 Pepto-Mangan

1 All over the United States the health of the people is guarded carefully by Boards of Health. Everything is being done with un- tiring effort, to prevent the spread of in fectious diseases. And yet with all that care and watchfulness a disease some times breaks out in a family, and spreads from home to home. One can never tell when an epidemic will break out.
 There is one safeguard that is preached by all physicians. That is to keep in good physical condition-to keep vigorous and in good health.
 Gude's Pepto- -Mangan builds up the blood by increasing the number of red corpuscles. That is what makes blood rich and red. When your blood has plenty of red corpus cles, it is able to fight disease germs and carry them off.
 If you do not feel right (and you know better than anyone else about-that) start today and take Gude's Pepto- Mangan. Keep on taking it for a while and notice how much better you feel.
 Gude's Pepto- Mangan is put up in both liquid and tablet form and is sold by drug gists everywhere. The liquid and tablets have exactly the same medicinal value. Buy whichever you prefer. and be sure it is gen. uine "Gude's Pepto- -Mangan." The name 'Gude's' is the package.-Adv.

JOSEPHUS DANIELS
 BECOMES REPORTER

Washington March 10.-(SpeciaL) )--J O. Sephus Daniels. erstwhile Secretary of the Navy, will become a full-fledged member of the press galleries of Congress, it IS aEr ounced today. It is understood that Mir. Daniels will report for duty on the date of the convening of Congress in ex- traordinary session. Prior to that time he will conduct his newspaper, the Rai- eigrl News and Observer. in Raleigh.
 When Mir Daniels became Secretary of the Navy eight years ago he turned over the affairs of his newspaper to the man aging editor. He declined to have any thing to do with the shaping of the policy of his plant To the many petitioners that he support this measure or oppose that enterprise or proposition, he always declared that they would have to see his managing editor.
 MT Daniels is said to love the news paper game. It is said. also. that he wishes to pay his respects to certain in diyiduas in Washington. 1t is recalled that no member of the Wilson cabinet was more bitterly maligned than Daniels It is possible that he is glad of an oppor- tunity to be on. the 'criticisng" end or the proposition.
 As result of the unparalleled record made by the navy in time of war, the DeEiels critics in great measure were dis armed. The secretary went out of or fee a more or less popular man in con- sequence.
 Another important addition to the press galleries will be Gen. Isaac Sherwood. veteran of the Union army of Civil war days, and one of the democrats who was swept out of office in the landslide of last November. General Sherwood was a representative from Ohio He was a valiant soldier, conscientious legislator, and a man who was fair in appraisng the yalOr of the Confederate forces
 He will represent several Ohio news paners

 TRIAL, INDICATED
Most Sensational Testimony Given By Herman Moss, Who Claims He Was
 an Eyewitness
By Associated Press

Williamson, W. Va, March 10.-There were indications today that the de- fense in the Matewan battle trial will defendants informed the prosecution that the state rebuttal witnesses should be called to Williamson as soon as pos sible. J. J. Coniff, defense attorney. who made the announcement. could not say definitely whether his side would rest before Monday -next but he indi- cated that the end of the witness list was in sight.
 Shortly after the defense served the notice upon the state, Judge R. D. adjournment on Saturdays would be dispensed with hereafter.
 The most sensational testimony of the day was given by Herman Moss, who said he was an eyewitness of the start of the fight in which 10 men met death Moss told the jury that Isaac Brewer a former defendant. who turned states evidence, had killed AL bert Felts, a Baldwin detective. He edded that he had not told this detail to the grand jury which returned the indictments, because they led me away from that point" Brewer, who pre- viously testified, told the jury that he turned states evidence because he had learned that certain parties would tes- tify that he killed the Baldwin man
 Several witnesses were called today to testify upon the question of waf- rant which Felts had on the day of the battle for the arrest Of Sid Hatfield, l4-k r<.- a- fendant Previously the state sought to show that the warrant presented in court was not the original issued by Squire R. R. Stafford. County Clerk Riley varney, who said he was familiar with MT. Stafford's signature. examined the warrant and said that in his opin- ion Squire A. B. Hatfield had issued the paper and signed staffords name Squire Hatfield testified that an agree ment existed between himself and Staff ford under which he was empowered to sign Stafford's name to official papers He said the agreement did not relate to warrants, but to writs of attach ments. The warrant in question was not presented to Hatfield for his exam ination.
 Several men who said that they were witnesses of the battel testified to- day. Jim Webb said that Albert Felts fired at Mayor c. c. Test srrhan while the two men were discussing the war rant for Sid Hatfield. He added that Felts then fired into the doorway of a hardware store and that a moment later the Baldwin man fell wounded fatally When asked by counsel for the state why he did not tell the grand jury that he saw Isaac Brewer fire a shot. Webb replied that he did not want to see Brewer indicted.

FORCE DIVERSITY

Senator Dial does not think that the farmers will be able to form an organ ization which will fulfill it's pledge to re- duce to the necessary extent the produc- tion of cotton He does not think that 1t would be feasible for legislatures to en- act laws under which farmers would be compelled to produce first what they act ually need. But he does hold that it would be a blessing were supply agents to withhold funds for the purchase of those necessities which farmers could raise but will not raise.
 In this connection, Senator Dial. after stresslng the desirability that the south before producing cotton, feed itself. de- clared that in his state last year more hay was imported than every before, ttns despite the fact that hay was selling for s60 He added that farmers buy every thing, meat, meal, syrup, even chicken feed.
 The South Carolina senator argued that a small crop would sell for more than a large crop, and the south, in addition to

 LESSEN ACREAGE
 This position of Senator Dial puts into the discard all political nostrums. He does not think it advisable to tell the farmer to hold his cotton, or to sell hIs cotton; to tell him that schemers are re- sponsible for his dilemma, or that crooks have contrived to make his lot miserable. There is only one remedy, according to the senator, and that-quit raising the staple.
 The situation is desperate, according to Senator Dial, because, of course, too much cotton was raised.
 But if even less had been produced % he said, ''it could not be marketed. For there is no market The south, in other days, went to New York for it's money. New York can secure handsomer profits by lending it's money elsewhere. We have no European market For Europe, though in need cannot pay"

In snowy streets, on storm-tossed
ships at sea, wherever Salvation
Army workers had followed the call
of service into far corners OF the
world, they dropped for a moment
their ministering tasks and joined IN
the petition of their commander.
The ceremony, with its worldwide
appeal, was one of the most PIC
turesque in connection with the con-
ference on limitation of armaments
now in session.
Tears filled many eyes in the audi
ence Yesterday when the frail woman,
whose name throughout the civilized
world is synonymous with self-sacri-
flee, knelt with clasped hands and
bowed head.
She spoke in voice whose fer
vency of appeal was heightened by the
emotion which seemed to shake her
slender figure re-characteristic OF a
medieval saint.
Salvation Army workers in cities
throughout the Eastern and Central
United States, in the grip of winters

turesuue scenes. In most OF these
cities street-corner meetings were IN
