H|LO VOLCANO IS
 TERRIFYING SIGHT
RoarS and Flashes Accompany
 Great Lava Flow

Hilo, T. H., April IT Pt-Terrify- ing roaring explosions marking the sinister advance of two lava flows from Mauna Loa continued through out the night while the molten rock made Its progress toward the sea, leaving in Its wake only a memory of the Catholic church. & residence and great forest of tropical trees and vegetation besides obliteratinC n large section of the highway which IS the only means for /encircling tho island.
 The church crumpled from sight at 9:So o'clock last night. shortly after the dwelling had been buried under 20 feet of lava. pr. ]. A. Jaggar, volcano expert, predicts that one of the two flows from the vol. cano will reach the waters edge within 80 hours.
 What appeared 10 be another outbreak near the summit of the volcano occurred at 10 o'clock last night, following severe earthouake which rocked the southern section or the island for several minutes. The intense flow from the other streams prevents verif1cation Of the new outbreak.
 For the first time since the latest eruption of Mauna Loa. crimson lava fountains shooting high into the mir were visible on the opposite side of the island during the night, mark Ing me flow of the lava as 1t spread lan'llke in its advance toward the edge of the Pacific.

BUTLER DEPENDED BY CAPTAIN RICE
Williams Drunk, Latter Says
 Denies BroWbeating

Marine Base. San Diego, Caiif.,
 April IT R1 - The cocktail court
 martial of Colonel Alexander s.
 Williams lowered today at the
 crossroads of evidence. Its direc-
 ton and duration were both un-
 certain as the court prepared 10
 call two and perhaps more wit
 nesses to clear up disputed points
 In previous testimony and to get at facts which the prosecution ap-
 parently has been unable to bring out and which the defense prob ably does not want to see brought out"
 Rear Admiral Thomas Washing ton, president of the court, who uttered the foregoing comment on the difficulty of digging out "the
 truth" about what happened at tho Hotel Del Coronado on the night of March 6, yesterday found his way blocked by a tangle of techni- calitIes as he sought to steer the trial 10 its conclusion.
 Repeatedly withdrawing its aues. lions on objections interposed by defense counsel and sustained on the advice of the judge advocate, the court, which took affairs into it's own hands after the judge ad- vocate two days ago announced he had no more witnesses, neverthe- less, turned up additional evidence on several important phases of the case.
 It obtained from Captain Charles $. Rice, assistant 10 Brigadier General Smedley D. Buffers chief Of staff. the flat statements that Colonel Williams was drunk st the Hotel Del Coronado on the night in question and that General But Ter did not attempt to browbeat his subordinates into submitting statements accusing the colonel of intoxication. At least Captain Rice was sure he himself did not feel under duress when he made his statement,
 It obtained similar assurances AS to General Buffers attitude from Colonel Williams Fourth regiment since the coloners arrest; Major l 'ss Rowell. commander of the marine corps air unit here. and Colonel Fred kilgore, the generals chief of staff.
 And finally 1t obtained from these same officers testimony sup porting General Buffers version of certain conversations with Captain Clifton B. Gates relative to whether the captain had told the general Colonel Williams was drunk or merely appeared sick or drunk" General Butler testified Gates told him the colonel was drunk. Gates in his testimony flatly contradicted the general and insisted he had said sick or drunk"
 In addition to the courts an. nounced intention to call addi- tional witnesses there were, as the hour Of convening today's session drew nigh, the customary rumors that General Butler would be brought back to the stand or that one of the score or more of women present at the hotel would be call. ed into court.
 A feature of the court martial so ar has been the utter absence Of eminine witnesses though there we're as many women as men fin position to testify as to the be-. lavior and condition of Colonel Williams at the Coronado hostelry.
