NEW VOLCANO BREAKS OUT IN CHlCHU RANGE FIFTY MILES FROM TOKIO-MlLLiON AND A HALF HOMELESS IN TOKYO

OSAKA, Sept. 5.-According to ad- vices received by the AsapI, local newspaper, 31O,OO0 persons lost their lives in Tokio, Yokohama and Yoko- shuita, with 10000 dead at the latter place, to say nothing of the number killed in the country districts In the meantime a new volcano has broken out in the Chichu range, 50 miles to the northwest of Tokyo.
 Over a million and half are home les in the Tokyo district, and great distress is experienced by the popuIa- tion.
 Corpses congest the rivers and it is certain that much sickness will ensue unless something is done to clean up the devastated area
 Hundreds of families are leaving the cities for the open places of the country districts, fearing a repetition of the earthquake shocks.
 A vast area of Japan has been de vastated by the greatest earthquake in the history of modern times. 1t will be several weeks before the actual loss of life is known. The most reii- able estimates place the death toll up to trc present time a. 300 COO to 500 OOO, and it is feared wh :1 completed figures come m that it will exceed the latter s1Li ,ter

The terrific storm and violent electrical display added to the terror, those inhabitants surviving the first shocks fleeing tC nearby open spaces, and huddling tc the ground to prevent flying missiles from overwhelming them.
 The quake was accompanied by one of the most violent electrical storms ever seen in Europe, the crashing ol the thunder and the roar of the wind causing the stOuteSt hearts tu fear the end of the world was at hand Several thousand refugees who fled to the churches were overwhelmed by fall ing walls, and many were drowned as they lay under the ruins, by bursting water pipes and torrential rains

BEAVER TAKING
 |S PROHIBITED
 FUR THIS WINTER
OPEN SEASON ORDER IS SUS- PENDED OWING TO SERIOUS
 DIMINUTloN OF COLONIES IN
 SOME DISTRICTS ARE EXTINCT.

That there will be no open season on beaver this winter is indicated in a telegram received Saturday by the Gateway from E. P. Walker. agent of the U. S. Biological Survey. MT. Wal ker wired from Cordova where he has been the past week on official busi- ness stating that killing was prohib- ited for the winter. No date was mentioned as to the time the closed season was to start, but it is supposed the order is effective immediately.
 The season for trapping beaver was placed between December 1 and Mar. 31, at a time when their dams and houses were frozen in, and they were most easily reached by the trapper, who would dynamite their dams and eXterminate the colony at his leisure. Fur buyers report that since the open season started year or so ago, the colonies have diminished rapidly and many interested persons have been after Mir. Walker to rescind the open season and again protect them until they could propagate. In many dis tricts where large colonies lived they have been practically exterminated. The open season relating to marten, land otter and mink remain the same.
 The new order will work hardship on those trappers who have already left for the hills, and may result ill considerable confusion for a time.
