R. Hoyer of Wisconsin, who was
an eye-witness. He says:
"The volcano of Sakura-Jima, at
the beginning of the eruption re-
sembled a Niagara of fire, from
which masses of molten stone were
buried long distances.
"During the night of Jan. 14 a
loud explosion waa heard, followed
by a flash of flame and a cloud of
ashes, rising many thousand feet in-
to the air.
"Beneath the cloud of smoke and
•shea, the broad streams of lava
could be plainly seen flowing down
the slopes to the sen. The forests
on the mountain side quickly caught
fire and the flames spread to the
houses of the numerous villages
nearby. . - '■* ■, , • •
"The coast line of Sakura seemed
to be ablaze and a strong wind car-
ried smoke, gap and hot ashes to
the mainland.
"From Kagoshim^ three miles
across the bay, people fled in panic
stricken crowds, many of them as-
cending the steep sides of Shiro-
yama Mountain and loked back from
the interior.
"A heavy rain fell the next night
and served to settle somewhat th«
flying dust and ashes. Many people
returned to their crumbling houses.
"Sakura-Jima twaa ^till actively
belching out flames and dndera, but
the earthquake shocks were becom-
ing less violent and soon subsided
altogether for a time. The town of
Kagoshima was filled with malodor
ous gases, however.
"I mad* a visit the . following
morning with'n a short distance of
Sakura, but it was impossible to
reach the shore in the small native
boat, owing to the great floating
fields of pumice stone.
"The occupants of the boat could
however, observe the villages along
the shore, with their rice fields and
gardens, had been leveled by the
•olten lava while thb surrounding
'■"^sts had been destroyed.
, "The principal crater of Sakura
v*na evident, a gap a mile wide in
the side of the mountain. Below
this (were a number of smaller cra-
ters emitting smoke and flame. Be.
neath each opening there were great
plateaus of cooling lava. The two/
craters of the volcano had been
forced into one by the destruction of
the dividing ridge."

1913 RICE CROP LARGEST
Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 20.—The
••ederal Department of Agriculture
has announced its estimate of the
1913 rice crop of Texas. The total
acreage is 303,000, the production
9,696,000 bushels, and the total farm
value $8,839,000. Compared with last
year the acreage shows an increase
of 87,400, and the production is 276,-
00 bushels more than 1912, while the
total farm value is more th*n a half
million dollars less. The produc-
tion last year was the largest* in
the history of the industry and a
arger acreage was devoted to the
crop than ever before. The rice
belt of Texas extends throughout
9 counties of Texas and the bulk of
the crop is produced in Jefferson
county, and near thia city.

Washington, Jan. 20.—The ad-
ministration intends chiefly through
its trust program to "facilitate the
process of accommodation," as con-
trasted with the*"process of suit."
President Wilson told callers to-
day that the recent agreements be-
ween the Department of Justice
and^ business concerns were not set-
ements whlcb abated the law in the
least degree, but merely understand-
ing^ as to the method and time with-
in which corporations were to con-
form to the law while being allowed
reasonable periods for adjustment.
In that sense the word "accom-
modation" is used, meaning accom
modatlng the proceases to the inter-
ests of business .though not abating
the law. The President believes la
that, connection that better machi-
nery for conducting processes of ac-
commodation to the law ought to be
•At up.
An Interstate trade commission ill
the body the President has in mind
to fill that need,,though it was ap-
parent today that he had not gone
further than outlining Its general
functions and Intends that details
of limiting the commission's powers
shall be left to the congresaional
committees.
The President's message went tq
the. printer today and will be deliv-
ered to Congress tomorrow.

conferred the rank of general in the
regulary army. Diaz, after failing to
subdue Lucas and his followers,
bribed them to submit, giving each
man a rifle and supply of ammuni-
tion as well as a small sum of mon-
ey.
The late President Madero con-
tinued the governmental subsidy to
Lucas, but the present administra-
tion under General Huerta has fail-
ed to do so. The revolt is said to
threaten communication between
here and Vera Crux.

Serrano Indiana Revolt.
Mexico City, Jan.* 20.—The Ser-
rano Indians, in the State of Pueblo,
who boast that they never have been
conquered by any ruler of Mexico,
are again on the warpath. Their
revolt is said to be nnder the direc-
tion of adherents of General Carran-
as, many of the Indians having re-
cently proceeded to Southern Mexi-
co. , The Serranos movement is dis-
tinct from that of the Zapatistas in
the neighboring State of Morelos.
The Serranos in Puabla, a few days
aSo, raptured a mule train ci am-
munition from Zapita's forces.
