Ashes lay more than fourteen inches deep over some of the territory Tuesday, westerly winds showered the fine dust down in a fanlike belt 800 miles across central South America and Martin Gil, local meteorologist, expressed the opinion that the current eruptions might he the forerunner of a world-wide volcanic wave.' He recalled the eruptions of Vesiivious, the San Francisco earthquake and the- earthquake at Valparaiso, Ohi!<>, which followed each other ^ closely in 1000. Officials here were considering requests for railway facilities to* begin the evacuation of Mendoza and other afflicted areas should the situation grow worse. Half a dozen villages near Mendoza, which was shaken three times yesterday, awaited theJ arrival of government trucks bearing first aid supplies to the people, many of whom have been without sleep for two nights, terrified by the rain of ashes and the sulphurous gases. Volcanoes were becoming active which have long Ix-en considered dead. At Malargue earth cracks appeared last night and the ash blanket was Id.5 inches deep before midnight. In spite of the widespread terror throughout the western territory more conservative scientists here were inclined to believe that the volcanic activity was more frightening and discommoding than actually dangerous.

The development of the rocket Ih be I nt' pursued throughout (lermany. Hardly a week passes that new experiments are not reported from some corner of the releh, Differ on Power. The chief exponents of the roeket are Rudolph Nebel and llelnrlch Tiling, hoih engineers. Nebel maintains that the problem of shooting mall from Merlin to New York can t>o solved only hy rockets driven by liquid guises. At tils rocket flying field. Nebel has sent gas driven rockets several thousand feet upwards. Nobel's unique roeket motor consists of a tinv metal chamber In which liquified hydrogen and other gases are mixed and ignited hy nn electric spark. Control over the rockels' speed Is eied" ihksIIiIc hy valves and automatic eoplrol appliances nt, tached to feed pipes. Tiling is an advoeale of the powerroeket. which he claims Is more reliable. Only recently he shot rockets equipped wllli parachutes high Into the skies. After reaching the IliL'bf apex, ttie parachutes opened automatically and the rockets descended slowly to the ground. Tiling built a roeket to resemble a passenger carrying roeket. He even, placed miniature passengers In It and then sent It tip several thousand ff'el Great Speed Seen.

Another resident of that street was and Is William Heebe. the famous naturulist and flsli man. Arnold, like other kings, grew tired of the cream and trapping of royalty and used to try to get away from It all. Ills method of egress was by the window. A tier some time spent In .seeing life Incogijlto, he would return In the same manner he had left. Now Sixty-seventh Is a peculiar street. On the long block which runs west from Central park are some of the most attractive apartments In the city, Also In that block Is one of the city's few remaining blacksmith shops and also a lumber yard and paint shop. In his wanderings, Arnold must have visited the latter because, on one occasion, he returned covered with light gray paint. Now, Arnold, In his natural state. Is a black cat. When, therefore, a member of the Worden finally saw a gray animal crouched on the window sill., the natural thing to do was to throw a pitcher of water at It. Indignant at such treatment and at not being recognized in his own domain, Arnold departed anil was not seen for three days. By this time some of the paint had worn off. * . Being treated royally, Arnold was scarcely to blame for getting the Idea that anything he desired wus his right .<?/ birth. It happened that Mr. Beebe, either on his trips to the Galapagos islands, his descents to the bottom of the sea or on some of his othe.r wanderings, had collected a number of rare fish with weird eyes, fins and tails. These he had In small aquariums In hls'apartment. In a highly mysterious manner, these fish began to disappear. The story goes that one day Mr. Ileehe happened to see Arnold put a paw in his month and dislodge a fish bone from his throat. There was a bit of controversy over the matter, which may be one reason that Arnold and the Wardens moved to Park avenue. * A woman I once knew had a cat. It was not a royal beast, such as Arnold. Its pedigree might hnTe read, Stray out of Alley." ""This cat actually fell Into a pot of red paint and became thickly coated. The woman who had taken it in had one of the kindest hearts in the world and decided that something must he done. She had heard of human beings who had gilded themselves for some reason, dying, because all their pores were clogged. The only remedy she could think _of was to try to remove the paint by turpentine. This took off not only the paint, hut the hair. 1 never shall forget my first sight of that cat after the operation. A cat without its hair is the most startling sight I have ever seen. Willi a round head, thin body, and long legs it looks like some creature cut of a nightmare. 1 never knew whether that cat became normal again or tad. Til oil wis Mitchell lias a dog na mod .lean.

X Four Americans Guilty of Slaying (By William H. Kwing) Honolulu, April 80.?With a recomiiiehilation for leniency, a racially mixed jury lias convicted four Ameiicans of manslaughter for the slaying of an Hawaiiaiy The Jury reported a verdict late yesterday after more than 48 hours of deliberation. The defendants are Lieut. Thomas II. Massie, U, S. N.; Mrs. Granville Fortesoue, society matron, his mother-in-law; Albert O. Jones and E, J. Lord, navy enlisted men. The verdict was read in a court room tense with silence. First to break it wus a sob frorA Mrs. lhalia Massie, wife of the naval officer, who allegedly was criminally attacked by Joseph Kahahawai, the slain native. Conviction set Honolulu astir with excitement and rumors. Governor Lawrence M. Judd denied the National Guard had been sum-, moned but said precautions had been taken against possible emergencies. The governor declined to say what his precautionary action had been. Chief of Police A. F. Webber, who manned the judiciary building with every available policeman while the verdicts were being read, said he had taken no additional precautions other than to have all officers "on their toes." Although the National Guard was not called out, it was learned from several of its officers they were keeping in touch with eaoh other by telephone so as to be able to go into action should any emergency arise. It was no secret the navy element of the population was not only indignant but angry. The racial factor continued to remain in the background of the many ramifications of the case. Some Hawaiians and orientals were outspoken in favor of the verdict, which was returned by a jury of eight Caucasians, three Chinese and a native. With varying reactions the quartet received the findings of the jury. Lieutenant Massie, who admitted killing the native after Kahahawai allegedly had admitted taking part in an attack on Mrs. Massie, stood with set, white lips as his fate was read by the court clerk. In the jury's findings, the instanity deferse. set up in behalf of I.ieutennt Massie was disregarded. This and the unwritten law had been pleaded by Clarence Harrow, aged leader of the defense. Harrow, who came out of retirement to defend the four, said of the verdict: "I am- very much disappointed." Prosecution John C. Kclley's only comment was: "The verdict meets the ends of justice." ' Mrs. Fortescue, mother of Mrs. Massie, heard the reading of her destiny without tlinching. She turned and spoke to Jones, who was standing tx'side her. Neither Jones nor Lord showed any signs of feeling. ( The four defendants were charged with second degree murder, which vails for a sentence of 20 years to life imprisonment. Judge ( harles S. Davis had instructed the jury it could find the quartet guilty as charged, guilty of manslaughter, or not guilty, i He added a possible finding of not guilty by reason of insanity for Massie. Notice of appeal was given by George S. Leisure, defense attorney. In the oourse of procedure the case would go to the United States circuit court of appeals in C alifornia. The jury's findings left a variety of possibilities in the way of sentences. The maximum penalty for manslaughter is 10 years. The lightest sentence possible would be a suspended sentence for that length of j time, which is within the power of | i dlii ifie coui l aiM' Mas I authority to fix the punishment any-1 where between these extremes. In addition. Governor .Judd has the pi wt-r to pardon ar.y or all of them.
