After quoting Mr. Crawford as say ing, "The common school fund should be sacredly guarded and it may not be too late to Bare a. portion of the $750. 600 worth of Indemnity school lands which have during the last few years been practically lost to the state, the yearly interest of which amounts to over $40,000 per annum, to "be used la support of the schools," the Governor says: "The' above '- statement is either evidence of the Attorney-General's gross Ignorance of land matters In. this state or it is evidence of a delib erate attempt to furnish a rotten plank for a meaningless platform. "The records of the State Land Board will show that selections have been made to cover practically all losses in school sections in this state and that such selections have either been approved, or are now 'pending before Congress or the Departments at Wash ington. The ub satisfied losses amount to but 3000 acres. There are other surveyed sections amounting to 4600 acres within the boundaries of forest reserves for which we had hoped to secure indemnity but the department is holding against such selections and 1$ an exchange is secured it must come through an act of Congress." WITNESS TELLS OF MUZZLING' EFFORTS TOKIO, Jan. J4. Continued eruptions ef the volcano Sakura-Jima today pre vented rescue work on the Island of Sakura. Cruisers sent by the govern ment to take charge of relief work on Sakura could not approach, a port on the Island owing to the rain ,of vol canic dust, lava and white-hot stones: The last refugees who escaped in small boats report the island covered to a depth of several feet In hot ashes, stones and lava. Under this mass are the bodies of hundreds of persons. It is believed that not one person Is still alive in Kagoshima, which last week had a population of 60.000. Stone buildings of Kagoshima were shaken to pieces; wooden and bamboo struc tures were either burned by hot, stones falling from the volcano or were crushed under heavy rocks that fell with the dust. Others were buried under a flow of lava that rolled down the mountain side from the mouth of the craters. A refugee from Sakura describes the disaster as follows: "Earthquakes began Sunday and the people spent a fearful night. In the morning flaming boulders descended nd set Are to the houses. Women and children fled and were followed by the men. Red hot ashes blinded and burned them. "There were no boats on shore and most of the fugitives had to wait the coming of rescuers; others flung them selves into the sea. Many of the aged refused to leave, crying that they pre ferred to die in the home of their an cestors. One by one swimmers were drowned or killed. "Pumice stone and lava spurted from the craters; a scarlet vapor obscured the heavens; the roar of volcanoes was Dike the sound of a thousand thunders. The whole island shook like a swinging laper lantern. Plants and tree with ered and whitened mounds of ashes formed before us. "The earth itself reared like a wild horse and knocked us down; poisonous ases choked our nostrils and cattle charged. Instinctively seeking the sea." Simultaneously with the eruption of the Volcano of Sakura-Jima, there oc curred an eruption of Tarlgatako, which threw a cloud of ashes over Matsumoto, but did no serious damage. The eruption of Sakura-Jima is sub siding gradually, and heavy rainfall is clearing the atmosphere, thereby as sisting the work of relief. The entire island of Kiushiu, an area ef 3000 square miles, is covered with volcanic ash in varying depths. Prominent scientists said tonight that the worst is over, and added the calm ing assurance that the breaking out of the volcanoes had served as a vent for an acute subterranean activity and had probably saved the country from even tnore disastrous earthquakes. At Kumamoto. north of Kagoshima, over 1000 refugees have arrived and the authorities are faced with the dif ficulty of housing and feeding the suf ferers from the disaster, the whole tragedy of which has not yet been told. The city of Tokio and surrounding territory, although 500 miles from thel vuiusmo aisiuroance, nas been swept for the paet 24 hours by miniature cyclones, filling the city'wlth clouds of dust and sand and creating the be lief that the capital was feeling some of the effects of the distant eruptions. A feeling of relief prevailed tonight when the wind died. Dispatches showed that animals and Thirds to the south of Satsuma were suffering from abnormal uneasiness for several days prior to the disturbance at Kagoshima. The famine in the northern part of Japan continues to give the government much alarm and relief measures on a tremendous scale will be necessary.

Superintendent Declared to Have Given Instructions for TTndrload Ing Coal Tubs That Were Not Being Inspected. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14. Edwin Powers, formerly assistant superin tendent of the Western Fuel Company, was as willing a witness for the Gov ernment today as he was unwilling yesterday in the ' trial of eight offic ers, directors and employes of that company, accused of defrauding the Government of customs' dues by means of false weights of coal. Powers lost his temper on the witness stand, and gave up information tending to show that the officers of the Western Fuel Company have been trying to close his mouth since the indictments were brought. While he was a witness before the Federal grand jury Powers testified that David C. Norcross, secretary of the Western Fuel Company, and him self a witness before the grand jury, took him to the office of one of the attorneys for the company and on the way suggested tha"t the company was ready , to treat him handsomely. J. B Smith's Premise Quoted. Td like to tell you what J. B. Smith said he would do for you, but I can't now. 1 11 tell you later. Powers quoted Norcross as saving to him in the elevator. J. B. Smith is manager or the company and one of the defend ants fn the present fraud cases.' When they got to the attorneys' of fice. Powers testified, he found an ar ray of lawyers seated in a circle, with a cnair ror him in the center. Nor cross remarked: "Eddie and I were afraid Federal secret service men were following us." ' Powers was not asked what the law yers said to him. In support of the Government's con tention that it was cheated on coal bought from the Western Fuel Com pany for the Army transport service, Powers testified that when ho had charge of loading coal at the trans port docks. Superintendent Mills, one of the defendants, instructed him to underload the coal tubs that were not weighed. Devious Questioning Enjoined. The defense on cross-examination tried to impeach Powers' testimony by a line of questioning which led Judge Dooling to instruct Attorney Moore to desist from winding around the woods and approaching the witness from the rear." Powers denied ever, having sought a position irom tne western Fuel Com pany after he had been subpenaed as a witness, out he said Superintendent Mills had offered to take him to any Doay ano introauce him. He explained a meeting he held with Mills bv sav ing mat Aims nad owed his father $20 for some time, and when he went to collect it, MiHs said he hadn't anv money and his wife was sick. "When he pulled that cry-baby stuff, felt sorry for the old man and told mm ne could Keep his twenty," said rowers. STUDENTS TO PUT ON PLAY aiiisk and Dagger Dramatic Club of Corvallis to Act.
