the watch reported strange lights and
sounds coming from the Island. We
all went on deck and saw the Islands
enveloped In a mass of flames and
smoke. At the same time we could
hear explosions that seemed to go on
like the flrlna of big guns. The sky
was colored with the reflection of tho
flames, which shot right up to the
clouds. We could hear the -burning
lava dropping Into the water and were
ready to steam away If necessary. The
disturbance continued until 4 o'clock

half an hour.
'We then mailr an observation of the

the light shot up to the sky like In

this time were the heaviest or the day
and continued long after a light fog
which settled at 6:1 had shut the
Islands from our view.
"We lay there all night and next
morning found that several new
Islands had corae up through the

changed In many ways. Whan we

caught robbing the corpse of a woman
and the soldier who found Mm shot him
on the spot. Two farmers. Elijah
Proudy and W. C. Bayless, who live
near here, saw the Incident and their
versions agree.
"This negro." said Mr. Proudy. "was
looting. He found the body of a wo
man In a pile of wreckage. The woman
had a diamond ring on her finger.
"The negro tried to pull It off but
could not do ao. Then he drew his
knife and had started to cut off the
finger, when a member of Company C,
of the State Constabulary, with some
other men came up and saw what he
waa doing. The constabulary man drew
his pistol and shot hlfi dead."

United States District Court Decision
Fixes Responsibility lor
Many Forest Blazes.
By the terms ot a decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,
which was handed down yesterdayln
the United States District Court here,
railway companies are made respon
sible for all damage done by forest
fires started by sparks from engines
on forest reserves. The decision was
given in the case of the United States
against the Corvallls & Eastern Rail
way Company, In which the higher
court affirmed the decision of 1910, by
the District Court here, holding tho
railway company liable for $4500 dam
age done by forest fires near Detroit,
in the Cascade forest reserve.
The case in the first place was in
the form of a test of the law, and it is
believed tbe decision of the higher
court will make possible the collection
of large sums from railroad companies
for damage done by forest fires.
The railroad companies are made just
as responsible to the Government on
forest reserves as to farmers along
tts right of way, the Government hold
ing the right to collect damages from
the lines for. every fire Set by sparks
from engines.
It is believed the decision will have
the effect of making '.he railway com
panies more careful and will go a long
way toward eliminating forest-fire
troubles in forest reserves crossed by
railway lines. The case is the first of
the kind to be settled definitely, and
it is believed It will be of utmost Im
portance. OREGON PLAN IS FAVORED
Democrats in Massachusetts Would
Elect Senators by Evasion.-
BOSTON, Oct. 6. The Democratic
State Convention today ratified the
ticket already selected. headed by
Eugene N. Foss, of Boston, for Gov
ernor, and David I. Walsh, Clinton, for
Lieutenant-Governor.
The platform demands an immediate
revision of the tariff and favors recipro
city with other nations, direct legisla
tion, an income tax, a revision of the
present taxation system and the adop
tion of the Oregon plan for the elec
tion of United States Senators until
an amendment for direct election Is
secured. Tho enforcement of all laws
against monopolies also is urged.
--Governor Foss. In addressing the
convention, devoted himself principally
to the tariff issues and to the question
of reciprocity with Canada. He de
clared that if food products and raw
material were given to Massachusetts
free of duty, manufacturers would- not
ask unreasonable tariff rates on their
output. On reciprocity he said:
"I believe the Canadians will con
clude an agreement with the United
States as soon as the matter can be
arranged without Involving other is
sues, including Canadian self-respect."

BEAVERS' WORK SUPERIOR
Henderson and Teammates Hava
Bad Start but After Steen Goes
' in Portland Players Hand- ....
lly Overtake Vernon.
BY W. J. FETRAIN.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6. (Special.)"
Walter McCredie's champion Beavers
triumphed over Happy Hogan's would
be champions today in the second gams
of the series. It was a decisive vic
tory. The final score was 6 to S and
it required only nine innings for Port
land to gain the decision.
While Portland excelled in every de
partment the Villagers battled hard
In the earlier rounds and made a strong
bid for the game. Most of Vernon's
chances were due to the wlldness of
Benny Henderson, who started the
game, and to an error by Bill Steen,
who relieved the big pitcher after two
men had been passed In the third In
ning. The Portland outfield was not
quite up to form during the first part
of the game. After the third inning
Steen pitched great ball and worked
like a Trojan to win the game.
Not once did the Beavers falter in
their attack against their former team
mate, Al. Carson, who did the honors
for Vernon, and upon whose chances
of beating Portland the sports of this
town wagered large sums.
Vernon Fana Dejected. '
As a fesult Les-Angeles-Random, at
least that portion of it which has
pinned its faith In Hap Hogan, com
prises a very dejected lot of people to
night. The game showed the olass of the
two teams so clearly that very few ot
the most enthusiastic Hogan support
ers can be found who will not concede
the championship to McCredie, and that
gentleman Is about the happiest Indi
vidual In Los Angeles tonight. Speak
ing of the "Joyful stuff," It might also
be mentioned that 16 ball-tossers who
disport in blue uniforms the Beavers
affect on the road are no less pleased
than McCredie.
For six innings Carson worked nice
ly and held Portland to two runs and
three hits, while Henderson's wlldness
and Steen s error gave the Villagers
the lead, as the Hoganite crew tallied
one run In the second off Henderson and
one each In the fourth and sixth off
Steen.
Hogan Waxes Merry.
With the score in his favor, Hogan
"ragged" the Beavers continually and
the overflow crowd rent the air' with,
all sorts of noise-producing devices.
But all of this found the Portland
champions displaying their "class" and
maintaining a bold front. They came
right back at the Tigers at their own
game. The Hogan crowd could not
stand the gaff and wilted under the
strain.
Portland put a crimp In the village
lads' chances by scoring two runs in
the seventh, another In the eighth and
the final and sixth tally was shove3
across in the ninth.
Once the Beavers started it was so
easy that most of the crowd started
homeward. The exodus began in the
seventh, when Portland lambasted Car
son for a couple of long bits and took
the lead away from the Tigers; and
when the champions continued to
score in the following Innings, with
the Vernon chances looking slimmer
and slimmer every minute, unhappy
hundreds turned their backs on ths
slaughter of Tigers.
Outfield Has Off Day. '-,
Tbe Beaver outfielders, while they
were not Interfered with by the crowd
today, did not behave In the field with,
their customary dash and energy. Hits
dropped between Krueger and Ryan
and Chadbourne and Krueger which,
ought to have been caught, and had
they been captured Vernon would have
been shut out.
Vernon tallied the first run of tho
game in the second inning. Brashear
was first man up' and he got two bases
on a dinky Texas Leaguer which ought
to have been corralled by either Krue
ger or Chadbourne. McDonnell caught
the Portland infield up in the air and
his Intended sacrifice went for a bit
because Lindsay covered third and
Pecklnpaugh was off his balance and
could not field the ball, which permit- i
ted Brashear to reach third. This gave
I the Vernon rooters a chance to turn
loose.
Henderson put everything he had on
the ball in the effort, to get Burrell,
but he failed to get the globule over
the dish and Burrell's pass filled tba
sacks. Hap Hogan hit a dinky boun
der to Pecklnpaugh, who could not get
Brashear at the plats and one ran
scored.
Henderson fanned Carson, but Car
lisle walked, again filling the sacks.
Ross filed to Ryan, who made a tin
catch and the side was out.
In the third inning, after Henderson
