SAN FRANCISCO, May 2l.--
There is u possible connection be
tween the present eruption of the
volcano Kilauea on the Island of
Hawaii and recent disturbances in
the Pacific region, such as the Jap
ancse earthquake of last September,
Dr. 4. 4. Jaggar, head of the gov
ernment volcano observatory at
kilauea declared here today.
DIR. Jaggar, who is considered as
the leading American volcanologist
is hurrving back to his observatory
To witness the demonstrations by
kilauea. He arrived here from Bos
tor last night and left today fol
Honolulu.
Dr. ,aggar declared:
That the eruption confirmed his
prediction made in 1917 that
Kilauea erupted in cycles of approx
imatelv l30 wears. The last ma joi
eruption was in 1890
That the present eruption prob
ably will continue until it reaches
j. peak in about four years.
That many unusual disturbances
may be witnessed through the Pa
eifie during the next few years.
"This is one of the outstanding
events of the century, DR.. Jaggal
declared.
1T is particularly interesting in
view of ether emptions and disturb
ances recently in the Pacific region
such as those in Japan, the Philip
pines, Costa Rica and now in the
Hawaiian group.

the volcano of Kilaiea, which has
been in eruption for several days,
was comparatively quiet up to a
late hour last night, further vio-
lent demonstrations were expected
today.
Madame Pelc is rcsting,' was
the explanation given by native
lIawaiians who harked back to their
ancestral beliefs that Kilaue S erup-
tions were due to oGtbursts of an
ger on the part of Pele, the fire
goddess, supposed to make her
home in the crater.
Belief that further outbreaks may
he expected was based on the omin-
ous rumblings and frequent trem-
blings of the earth, which continu-
ed much of the night

within reach of the volcano is now

direction of rhe crater are under

Two observers, however, remaln

Upheld at Dinner Given by
Caledonian Club.

Tribute to the valor, the worth and
glory of Scottish people and tradi-
tions, as held up in the poetry and
verso OF Robert Burns, was paid
by more than 100 admirers OF the
Scotch poet, gathered at the City
Club last night at a dinner Of the
Ca1edonian Club, on the 165th ami
versary of the birth Of the poet.
Addresses eulogizing the poet and
the land Of his birth were made
by speakers, and Scottish songs were
sung in Scotch dialect
America was referred to as "a
private experiment" for Scotchmen,
where they may work out in their
own way and to their own ends

from the land of their birth, by
Hugh Reid of the American Fedora

Burns was characterized as a man
pf conservative ideals, but one who
stood for progressive conservatism.

Rsid' who otSsr said the Scots Scots differing d.
heroes are usually soldiers, statesmen
or others Of international achieve

chronicler Of their traditions as their
national hero.
Rev Robert Atkinson challenged
ANY one to point to a. single line OF
Burns poetry in which he casts as
persions at fine or noble aspira-
tion. He never satirixes religion
itself, but the fake and sham methods
of manifesting It," he said. He
hurls his darts at the men who
profess to worship God, but serve the
