ANDEAN VOLC ANO ERUPTION
Cover# Vast Area 1 With l-ava and
AsIu'h?Other Kruptiona Likely
Buenos Aires, Argentina.?Government
officials made tentative prep*
a ration a Tuesday to evacuate the
"80,000 inhabitants of Mendowi, Argentina's
principal western city, as a
chorus of erupting volcanoes continued
to menace a wide area with dust
and gases.
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.
Slim: "I was shipwrecked once
and lived a week on a can of sayr
dines."
Jim: "You didn't have much room
to move about, did you?"
New Orleans has a new racket
game. When a funeral is announced
in prominent families, thieves visit
the home after the funeral party
leaves and ransack tin- place of all
valuables.
Three brigades of Japanese troops
(in Wednesday Ix'gan an offensive under
Lieut. General Hirose against 20,000
or more Chinese rebels in Man- |

ROCKETS TO CARRY
MAIL NEAR SUCCESS
Motive Power Is Now Only
Problem Unsolved.
Merlin.- The problem of developing
mall rockets which will shoot a hag
of mall from li??i*lIn to Now York Is
alowly being solved. ,
The only question remaining to he
solved la whether the rockets are to
he driven by liquid gases or by gun
powder.
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.
Now he has announced a still further
development of his therdyv. After
successfully shooting one of his power
rockets 1i;.(MX? feet high. tie has now
constructed a giant mail-carrying projectile
which#he Intends to hurl from n
spot on the Herman North sea const
near Hamburg to tlid Island ef \Yangeroog,
a illstanee of nearly five miles.
The rocket Is about four f< et long
and carries a powder load of thirteen
pounds which is calculated to burn
up in one and a half minutes. In \v)ijch
time the roeket Is to travel the live
miles of ocean.

11 ( Ifii WurUvii, well known newspu- J
per woman, has a eat by tbu naiuo of j
Arnold, Whether Iho animal w?h \
nainod for Benedict Arnold or Arnold
Daly, 1 do not know, but at any rato
it la a highly favored eat, which baa
long been treated like a king by member#
of the Worden family, which formerly
resided on West Sixty-seventh
street. 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.

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.
