LEAD TAKEN BY HOLLAND Yilon and Bryan Like Idea, but Difficulty of Obtaining- Concert of United States and Japan Is Keal Obstacle. BERLIN, Jan. 18. (Special.) The governments of England, Japan, France. United States, Holland and Germany are sounding' each other with a view to securing a mutual guarantee of the status quo in the Far Eaot and the Pacific Ocean. The Initiative was taken by Holland after President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan had rejected Its prop osition for an alliance for the mutual protection and defense of the Philip pines and the Dutch Bast Indies. The suggestion made by Holland to the United States was that the Nether lands government would build two modern dreadnoughts for the Dutch Mast Indies, while the minimum naval force to be maintained in the Pacific by the United States and Holland was to be a matter for further arrangement. When President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan gave a definitely negative reply to the proposition. Jonkheer Lon don, who is now Dutch Minister of For eign Affairs, conceived the idea of an entente in regard to the Pacific Ocean on the part of all powers Interested. Dutch diplomats were thereupon In structed to sound the powers discreet ly on the possibility of establishing such an entente, which would not only Insure preservation of the status quo but also solve future problems in the Far East France and England are said to re gard the plan with favor; Germany Is skeptical as to Its success, and Presi dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan are said to consider the scheme an excel lent solution of the situation In the Far East. What is said to be the Teal obstacle to the setabllshment of the entente "ill be tlie difficulty of persuading- the United States and Japan to Join the same convention and this may wreck the scheme before It emerges from the present state of indefinite suggestion. Knsrland could not without her ally, Japan, well enter anysuch a conven tion, while without Japan the entente would be so incomplete that the other powers would not enter. THREE RAILROAD MEN QUIT 1 .

A letter received here from T. It. Hoyer,- of the Young Men's Christian Association at Kato- shima, tells graphically the story of the eruption of Sakura-Jima and of the events that followed it. The letter, which is dated January says: ihe people who remain in the city are camping in the streets, the temple grounds and graveyards. There has been no looting, although the shops are exposed. The crater's roar keeps all the people awake. The first eruption occurred at 9 o'clock and ashes wero hurled high in the air. Schools were suspended and business came to a stand still. "Many persons had left Sakura-Jima. warned by the severe earth shocks and the swelling of the earth. Hundreds of sampans brought the destitute across the bay to Kagoshima. From this city could be seen the appalling shower of rocks, some of them apparently as large as a house, hurled hundreds of feet into the air and dropping again on the island. Sakura-Jima. which is 26 miles in circumference, probably was the most beautiful island in Japan, but now It will be a disfiguring, Ugly mass of pumlca If It does not disappear alto gether. "Ab the foregoing sentence was written a door collapsed directly in front of my desk. The air concussions are terrific. It is Impossible to tell how long the house will bear tho shaking. The floor, is moving from under my feet. It is dangerous to walk In the streets for fear of, being struck by fall ing wans or tiles, bleeping is entirely out of the question.

Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs, widow of Her mann Oelrichs,- and her sister. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr., must defend charges rf fraud made against them by neph ews and nieces of Mrs. Charles L. Fair In suits to recover their Interest in Mrs. Fair's estate, under a decision by the appellate division of the Supreme Court- The suits have .been brought by Theodore and George Lefler and Mable Towle, children of the deceased sister of Mrs. Caroline A, Fair, who was killed with her husband In an automo bile accident In France Jn 1902. The plaintiffs ask permission to amend their complaint to t,et up charges of fraud by Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Van derbllt, sisters of Charles L. Fair, by which they obtained possession of the entire J10. 000,000 estate of their brother. The alleged fraud consisted of representations by the defendants and their agents that Mr. and Mrs. Fair were residents of California at the time they died, as the result of which they caused the estate to be admin istered there. .The plaintiffs say that Mr. and Mrs. Fair were residents of New York and that had the estates been administered here they would have been declared the legal heirs and shared In the estate.

There is no such presumption In New York, they said. It was also alleged that Mrs. Hannah E. Nelson, mother of Mrs. Fair, was "tricked" Into going to California and accepting $175,000 as her interest In the estate by representations that Mrs. Fair had an illegitimate child there which would be entitled to the entire estate unless a. settlement was made. Mrs. Vanderbllt and Mrs. Oelrichs ob jected to being compelled to defend the charge that they participated in the al leged conspiracy, but the court held against them.
