EIGHT ARE ENDANGERED
Sudden Explosion of Hawaiian Vol cano Brings Death Near 10 Party of Investigators.

By The Associated Press
 HIilo, T. H., May IA terrific minute and half eruption of Halo maumau crater of kilauea volcano 1 late yesterday, endangered the lives
 of eight persons, of whom three, in- cluding Thomas Boles, superintendent
 of Hawaii National park, were in-
 jured in a rain of flying, hissng rocks. Rocks ranging from one pound to 800 pounds. were hurled over a radius of 2,000 feet from the crater. Debris shot 100 feet into the air above the rim.
 Loss of life probably was prevented by the foresight of Boes who had re fused to permit any persons except reWspapermen and camera men to approach the rim. MT. Boles was knocked down twice and W. J. Bel knap, sports editor of the Hilo Herald, and l.. F. Phillips, plantation man. ager, were struck by missiles, the three being slightly hurt. Two women in an automobile were in the midst of the rock shower, but escaped injury. F. !. Cody, editor of the Herald, who was taking motion pie tured, escaped and saved his camera. The eruption was the fifth and most serious of the day.

CLAIM NEW LOCOMOTIVE
 CAN BE RUN CHEAPLY
Latest Invention Is Said to Rival Electricity For Chcapncss
 Of Operation

Schenectady, N. r., May 14--Su- premacy in hauling of railroad
 freight, claimed recently for electric ity upon production of an electric To-
 ComotiVc, powered by oil burning mo- 1 tors and capable of moving heavy i trains at low cost, will be challenged shortly with the introduction of a steam locomotive, operating at $50 1 pounds pressure and incorporating 1 features of design upon which engin- i ecrs have been working four years. The locomotive, produced through the joint efforts of American locomo- railroad and accessory engineers, is nearing completion in the locomotive company's shops in this city. After final tests it will go into service in the Albany -Susquchanna division of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, operating between Oneonta and Me chanicsvile. Its cost is said to ap- proXimate S1NO,0O0.
 While the average freight locomo- tive operates at from 175 to 220 pounds steam pressure, the new en- glne Will operate at o5o pounds. It has a pair of small wheels forward, followed by four drivers. but lacks the usual trailer wheels the idea being to concentrate the weight usually carried on the traicrs upon the drivers in or der to provide greater fractional force.
 The engine, with it's greater trae- tive force and reduced proportional fpp of ,- expected to operate with greater ef- ficiency in freight haulaEe worh, in that it will haul heavier loads with greater facility and at less expense than the average engine

DR. BUTLER REPLIES
 ON LIQUOR PROBLEM
Explains His Stand for Dr. EliOt'S
 Benefit

New York, May 14.-EApcrioncc prohibition enforcement bureau and police court records contradict the belief in the possibility of enforcing the Nolstead law as expressed by Dr. Charles w. Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard university, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Colum- bia university, declared yesterday. Dr. Butler added dhat he could not understand how so outstanding a lib- eral as dOr. Eliot could defend pro- hibi46n.
 <As an instance of evidence against the changes of prohibition enforce ment Dr. Butler cited an account published this morning of the con- yiction of "a man who has been a member of me house of representa- tives for years on the charge of con- spiracy to transport and sell liquor illegally"
 Dr. Butler asserted that Dr. lGliots statement was concerned chiefly with the evils which follow the use of alcohol and that this is an argument to be addressed to the individual will. Tt has no relation whatever to the question as to the impropriety, on grounds of constitutional govern ment and public morals or the pol icy of national prohibition by con stitutional amendment" Dr. Butler maintained. G
 Continuing. President Butler stat ed "Dr. Eliot prophesics that neither the republican nor the democratic party will venture to put wet plank in it's platform. Of course not Anyone would be mad to make such a proposal. The question which I am now debating has nothing what ever to do vth vets and drys, so- called. It is on a plane far higher and far more important than that I am pointing out, without success full contradiction, that the policy called dry has resulted in making the nation wetter than it had been in years. as well as demoralizing our public and our private lifo."

WILL PUSH WORK . ON STREET REPAIRS
Gang in Each Ward New Public
 Works Board Policy

At regular meeting of the board of public works last night d discus sion was held on the advisability of having foreman in charge of each ward to take care of the streets. The city engineer said that he thought q man with a wagon and two helpers could keep the streets in good shape at small cost to the city. Chairman Conlon stated that he thought that by having teams patroling the sections of the city it would be possible to fix the bad spots in the roads and allevi- ate the large number of complaints received at the city engineers office every day. It was voted to have the engineer try out the plan of having teams patrol the various sections of the city and that after fair trial had been given have him report back 10 the board, as to how the plan had worked out.
 The board voted to make an in spcctiOn trip to Waterbury, Thursday for the purpose of looking over the sewer eductor in that city.
 Hear Trucks Block Streets
 A complaint was received that trucks are left in the street near the corner of Whiting and Maple streets making it hard for traffic on Whiting street. It was thought the trucks mentioned in the complaint are those of the Joseph Arbour X Son Truck ing company. The matter was refer red to the police department.
 Hearings were held on the sprink- ling of Linden street and on the con- struction of sewer on Grove street. In both of these cases the majority of the property owners were found to be in favor of the projects and it was voted to have Linden street sprinklcd and oiled and to construct the sewer on Grove street.
 Oppose PockN Streets
 Richard B. Niets came before the board with a map of a development which he is interested in at the cor ner of Clinton and Jerome streets, and the board after looking over the maps advised Mir. Viets to confer with the owners of property adjoining as to the of opening another street so as to avoid the handicap of hav- ing pocket street which would be necessary under the plans as they are now drawn. City Engineer Williams explained to Mr. Victs that it is the policy of the board, insofar as is pos siblc, to avoid pocket streets, az that in the laying out of new streets 1t would be 10 Alr. Niets' advantage to avoid having a pocket street on his development.
 Wants To Hire City Hammer
 A. lengthy discussion was entered into, when a contractor appeared be- | fore the board asking permission 10 hire tho air hammer owned by the city. Chairman Conlon said that he had a number of private parties ask him about renting tho city equipment and said that he thought it was time the city adopted a set policy. En- einecr Williams said that he was op- posed to letting out the city equip mcnt unless the city men went with it and the city had some assurance that the equipment would be at its when needcdr Commissioner

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE
SAY ABOUT TANLAC
IF it had not been for Tanlac would still be sick,
discouraged woman, for nothing else seemed to
do me any good" says Mrs. Edward Gibbs.

All the advertising in the world
and all the sales efforts combined
could not have made the great sue
cess for TANLAC that has been
attained, unless this rcconstructive
tonic possessed merit of the great
est degree. Over 40 Million Bottles
of Tanlac have been sold and tbe
demand today is greater than ever
before. .
That TANLAC possesses merit
and has brought relief to hundreds
of thousands of persons is attcstea
by the great number of ,testimon
ials that have been received by the
company from people in every
state of the Union and every prov
incc of Canada. There are ovcr
100000 such statements on file with
the company, all ringing with sin
cere praise for TANLAC and what
it has accomplished.
Here arc excerpts from a few of
the 100000 statements on file:
