Sacramento, Cal., May 3. The alien land bill passed the house to night and now goes to Governor Johnson for his signature. Only three 'votes were cast against the measure in the lower house, one democratic and two republican mem bers' opposing the bill on its final passage. The bill passed the senate last night. London, May 2. Scotland Yard detectives arrested Edward Clayton in connection with a suffragette plot to burn all lumber yards in London. The arrest was based on letters writ ten to Clayton by Miss Annie Ken ney, the militant suffragette, listing lumber yards and describing the moBt effective way of setting fire to them with chemicals. Clayton refused to comment on the charges, but the police admitted the evidence to be used against the prisoner was found in the raid here on suffragette headquarters. Sydney C. Drew is under arrest today on a charge of printing yes terday's issue of the "Suffragette," the militant origan, ordered suspend ed by the home office. Drew con ducts a small printing shop. Clayton, Miss Kenney and , others arrested in the raid of suffragette headquarters were arraigned today in Bow street court and their appli cations for separate trials denied. In his opening statement, Crown Prosecutor Bodkin read several let ters he alleged Clayton wrote to Miss Kenney. Some of these, he said, were found at suffragette headquar ters and others in Miss Kenney's flat. One of the letters set forth plans to burn several government buildings in addition to the lumber yards. , It included diagram and loca tions, the hours watchmen were on duty and other information. An other suggested starting the fires with torches soaked in benzine, ben- sollne and alcohol. During Prosecutor Bodkin's state ment, "General" Mrs. Flora Drum mond and Miss Kerr fell asleep in the prisoners' dock. After Prosecutor Bodkin had out lined the crown's case the trial of the suffragettes was continued to .Monday. Drew and Miss Lennox were released on bail. The others were remanded to Holloway prison. Drew was admitted to bail on his promise never again to print the Suffragette, the militants' official mouthpiece. Miss Lennox was re leased on the representations of her . physicians, who asserted that her health would be Jeopardized by in carceratlon. A bottle of nitroglycerine was found today in the Piccadilly Circus tube station, throwing passengers into a panic. Suffragettes are sua pected. Sacramento, May 3. Secretary Bryan concluded his mission to the governor and legislature of Califor nia this afternoon, gave his message of farewell and began his return to Washington, where he said he thought at this juncture he would be more useful. To an open joint session of two hours, attended by the governor, he gave renewed assurances of the friendly interebt and co-operative at titude of the national administration toward the peculiar problems of Cali fornia. Transmitting the president's latest criticism of the alien land act passed last night by the senate, rehearsing again the objections already made public, in a reply, Senator Gates, speaking for the state, said: "This legislature appreciates the honor that has been done to this state by the interest shown in the visit of the secretary of state. We realize that his coming to co-operate with us marks a new era in Ameri can politics. It brings the federal government into closer touch .with individual states." .Gates thanked the president and assured him 'even if we may differ with him, we do 1t with profoundest respect for his opinions and those of the secretary, and if we feel impelled to depart from that advice, we do it with respect for that advice."' Bryan's address voiced the presi- LAKE IS A CHERISHED MEMORY (Continued from Page One.)

These scientists left little to be done by their successors save a few points of detail. During the same year, under date of May 22, a federal law re served the territory of which Crater lake is thefcenter as a national park, having an area of 645 square kilo meters. Finally, in 1908, a party of topographers began a new survey of the lake and the surrounding terri tory, including the entire park. Their work resulted in a publication of a topographic sheet on : scale of 1 to 62,500, issued by the geological survey in 1911. This map of rigor ous exactitude was of great service to us in our visit to Crater lake. Here are some of the more impor tant facts concerning the crater it belf and the lake which it embraces: The greatest diameter in an east and west direction, measured from shore to shore from the foot of T'.ie Watch man to Redloud cliff, is about 8, 00 meters; the smallest diameter, fol lowing a direction almost at right angles to the above, from Pumice point to Eagle point, is 6,800 meters. The circumference is approximately 30 kilometers, although to make the tour of the rim on foot would make the actual distance 56 kilometers. The water, shallow in the western part, where an island of cinders and scoria, Wizard island (2,114 meters above sea level), rises 232 meters above the surface of the lake, is else where very deep, the bottom sloping rapidly downward. The greatest depth noted in the eastern part, op posite Skull Head, is not less than 608 meters. This depth, which is almost identical with the measure ment of the highest point of the rim Glacier peak, which rises 003 meters above the surface of the lake, gives a total depth of 1,211 meters for this enormous crater. The bottom of the crater is, therefore; 1,274 me ters above sea level. dent's opinion of the words "eligible niti...tll.11 ,..,l,l U....l I il.

If the law must pass, he urged it be limited in its operation to two years in order in the meanwhile that diplomacy might so improve the in ternational situation that a re-enact ment by the next legislature will be unnecessary. Washington, May 2. Following the plea of former United States Sen ator Watson of West Virginia that congress cease its inquiry into the conditions of the coal districts in that state, Senator Kern of Indiana announced today his determination in the senate to demand that the investigation be pushed to the limit. Watson who is a coal mine owner, telegraphed that the strike in the Paint and Cabin creek districts is over, and that further inquiry would be futile. Senator Kern, in his speech, declared: "The strike is not the question. Peonage is the question. Hunting men across the hills like escaped convicts and beasts is the question. We are going to have an inquiry. I propose to have it shown that when the federal experts investigated con ditions laBt year, whole pages of their report were suppressed by the Department of Commerce and Labor. "Do you realize that within 250 miles of the capital of this nation a drumhead courtmartial for the past 30 days has been trying "Mother" Jones, who for 4 0 years has been engaged in humanitarian work, and who is one of the greatest women in the country?

Many members of the California legislature freely admitted today that the three year leasing clause in the Webb anti alien land bill is a "joker" and that it kills much of the effect of the measure. Senator Boynton, who introduced the amendment, said that there is a question as to whether renewals would be lawful, but admitted he has no assurance that such renewals couldnot be made. Senator Anderson of Santa Ana admitted that he voted for the bill as amended because he is opposed to antl-alien land legislation. "I voted for the bill because it Elves the Japanese opportunity to use the lands," Anderson declared. Senator Larkins, progressive, said he accepted the amendment "because Governor Johnson and other progres sives assure me that it was the best bill that could be secured at this time." He said he objected to the amendment, however. Senator Curtin, democrat, assert ed that the amendment practically killed the effect of the bill. Hope for Better Lurk. Medford Sun: The Junior club, consisting principally of Medford high school students, were defeated Saturday by the Ashland high school in baseball 5 to 0. The club was at a disadvantage on account of the sickness of Robert Pelouze and the absence of Carl Martin, both of whom are good men, and because they played upon an unfamiliar dia mond. Ashland has a strong team, but the Medford boys are confident of beating them at the next game. Ash. craft was easily the star of the op. posing team and made a spectacular home run. Pittsburg is clamoring for more skilled workmen. Would Io What He Could. The legislature of a western state contains this year Beveral women members. At a recent banquet they everywhere as unbroken cliffs, mak ing it almost impossible for one to get a foothold. However, one may reach the water's edge quite easily by following a zigzag path which leads from Crater Lake Lodge to Eagle cove, where tourists may find during the summer season a small gasoline launch and several row boats. The greater portion of the steep slopes of the crater is bare rock showing varying colors of rose and gray; there is very little debris ex cepting to the northeast, where the peaks are highest. Andesite, asso elated with tufas and breccias, is the dominant rock, and forms a great number of successive, regular and parallel strata whose inclination away from the crater is slight though well marked. Above, in places, we find a massive light colored rock, dacite, which is broken into vertical prisms whose lines of separation from the underlying rock are very definite. This dacite forms, notably on the north, the abrupt wall of Llae rock, the mass of Rugged crest and the summit of Redcloud cliff. Some great vertical dikes, the Devil's Back bone, not far from Glacier peak, de scend to the water's edge. Finally, a certain number of basaltic cones are found scattered over the exterior slopes of the volcano. The lava flows found on the somber pyramid of Wizard island are also of ande-site. A last feature which completes the physiognomy of the crater is the abrupt way in which the many small divergent notches have been cut in the rim of the crater, such as the two canyons to the southeast which Isolate massive Dutton cliff. It is very evident that at the time these passages were hollowed out there ex isted above a large mass of material and a living force water or ice which today has disappeared. This enormous caldera may be favorably compared with the most important craters of volcanic origin known on the surface of the globe. Crater lake, a veritable suhaerial counterpart of the great Grecian vol canic island of Santorin, has the ad cantage over the Grecian volcano in that the continuity of the rim is ab solutely perfect, its form and outline much more regular and its propor tions in the vertical sense are almost double, as least so far as the sub merged portion is concerned. Wiz ard island, we may suppose, plays were invited to speak, but all with one accord began to make excuses, ' the same role in the interior of Cra.- influence of another eruption, a pus tule (Wizard island), almost insig nificant in comparison with the vol ume of the cavity from whose depths it arose, was formed. The phenom enon which resembles the great pit ted craters of the moon seems to be of recent date, so fresh is the lava and so symmetrical is the cinder cone. The giant firs which cover the base of the cone have not as yet had time to take possession of its sum mit. v This succession of geologic events is so indisputably imprinted on the rocks that the Portland Alpine Club, at a meeting held on the rim of Cra ter lake in 1896, did not hesitate in giving to the giant cone, which has disappeared, the name of Mount Ma zama. Geologic examination has only confirmed the rather instinctive impression as to the true nature of the crater. But at what epoch did the cataclysm occur, which caused the ancient cone to disappear? And what force of nature was employed in replacing a giant cone by the great abyss which we see today? It is .concerning this dual question which we wish to speak. First, what were the dimensions of Mount Mazama at the time of its gceatest splendor? vMr. Diller states that at an elevation of about 2,440 meters the actual diameter of Crater lake is about the same as Mount Shasta, California, a volcano whose lavas are analogous as to the degree of fluidity. Shasta rises to an ele vation of 1,850 meters above this level and has an altitude of 4,383 meters. Mount Mazama must ' have been at least as high, and this is shown by extending the exterior slopes about Cratfer lake to a com morf origin which would be the sum mit of the original cone. One may imagine the primitive magnificence of this mountain by noting today the absence of the enormous amount of material which once formed its mass. The caldera has a volume of twelve cubic miles, while the cone, which no longer exists, had a volume of five cubic miles. But how could such an imposing mass Mount Mazama, one of the largest pillars of the Cascade range have disappeared without leaving any trace? If the mountain was blown off by a sudden and terrible explosion, where, then, is all the de bris? Or were the burning lavas drawn downward through some sub terranean passage; were the lavas suddenly sucked into the chimney of the cone, thus taking away the sup port from the superstructure and permitting it to fall in and become engulfed? These two hypotheses, that of. an explosion and that of an engulfment, have often been given to explain the formation of large cra ters and crater lakes. Doubtless, these hypotheses have their applica tion, depending upon this or that particular case; however, neither one seems to be sufficient to fully ex plain Crater lake. But there is little doubt as to the true cause. The hy pothesis of an engulfment alone seems to explain, when due consider ation is given the observed facts. If the hypothesis of an explosion were accepted, where is all the volcanic material which would have been thrown out upon . the, surrounding country by this great American Kra katoa? In vain do we search for a trace of it. Everywhere we see only the normal strata and lava flows, with here and there some beds of pumice which are of little impor tance. The last coverings or strata of the cone, as we have already seen, were formed by dacites and basalts, which have nothing in common, so far as their mineral nature Is con cerned, with the andesites which rep resent the principal mass of the vol cano. As the divergent striae (which may be observed at a number of points around the periphery- of the caldera) indicate, Mount Mazama must have been a center of important glacial dispersion during the pleis tocene period, and this is a point of great importance In the chronology of the volcano. The last eruptions dacites which are superposed above the moraines, to. the northeast of Crater lake, must have been contem porary with the final catastrophe, for these lavas were still sufficiently plastic when the cone was replaced by the caldera, to change their angle of inclination, as one may see today in the cliffs of Cleetwood Cove. The waters which fill Crater lake have no visible outlet. Perhaps they filter or percolate in part through the porous lavas to reappear at some distance to the southeast as great springs in the neighborhood of Klam ath lake. - Coprtlrht. lOii and one of the men was asked to rep resent them. He accepted, saying that he was willing to do so, so far as in him lay, but that his case was similar to that of a naughty little girl who was told that if she didn't behave she would be shut up in the chicken coop. "You can shut me up in the chick en coop if you want to," replied she, "but I ain't going to lay any eggs." ter lake as do the two islands of Kaumene in the Santorin basin, by comparison with the circular cliffs of Thera and Therasla. The lava flows and effusive masses which had accumulated as an enormous radiant cone, the summit of which has today disappeared, has been cut away as though by an enormous planer which destroyed the entlrd j superstructure of the mountain.
