The phenomenon began with two mild shocks of earthquake which were followed by a collapse of the eruptive cone, 200 feet high, which stood inside the crater. The fall of the cone was accompanied by rumblings and explosions and the throwing out of ashes and incandescent stones. Liquid lava poured out from the crater in streams and In the Twenty-four hours since the disturbance began It covers an area of 100,000 square feet. The temperature of this molten mass is 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Professor Mnlladra, director of the observatory on Vesuvius, descended Into the crater at the beginning of the snip- tlon.

" Held as first big event of the Yellowstone Park Golden Anniversary Year at Ashton, Idaho Bin Washington The first serious friction In President Harding's cabine: has arisen between Secretary of the Interior Fail and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. The dispute centers around the governmental policy for development of A. ska and the proposed transfer under a governmental reorganization of .the forestry service from the Uepun ment of agriculture to the department of the interior. . Although both Fall and Wallaet Monday refused to comment on th situation, the breach ts so serious, according to reliable Information, that one or the other may resign. , Fall, It became known, 'has protested in a letter to a friend it congress that the department of agriculture, in Its opposition td his policy for developing Alaska and to the transfer of the forestry service, b engaging in personal propaganda against him. The letter indicates that he has carried his complaint" to President Harding. The charge is denied by Wallaces assistants. Specifically, Fall Is said to object to an article by Colonel W. P. Greely of the forestry service, which challenges a plan to create & federal board for the control of Alaska working under the sole direction of the secretary of the Interior. Fall, In his letter to a congressman, says he opposes this plan, but does favor a bill to giving the president power allocate, J&e, jarlqus jjov,-ernment activities regarding Alaska. Changes have been made by the American Forestry association in recent publications that Fall Is endeavoring to gain control of the. public resources of the country for private exploitation. This Is denied by Falls friends, who say that he holds the only way to develop the vast resources In Alaska and th" West Is through private enterprise. President Harding, It Is understood, Is now seeking to heal the breach between the two cabinet officers. This has been one of the principal obstacles to the submission of a governmental reorganization plan To congress by the cabinet. Whether the dispute can be settled, without one member leaving the cabinet appears doubtful, but the president Is making efforts along that line. The question probably will be aired in congress soon before committees considering Alaskan legislation. II, FOR FREE STATE s. s LLOYD GEORGE DESIGNATES DAY OFFICIALS OF PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT DEFEND TREATY . HE WILL RETIRE UNLESS GIVBEFORE LARGE CROWD CONFIDENCE OF EN VOTE FORMER SOLDIERS WILL BE ABLE TO BORROW FIFTY PER CENT ON CERTIFICATE Agreement ia Reached so as to Enable Leader of England Will Hand King Soldier to Receive Cash on CerHis Resignation If Support Is Not tificate Where Set Sum is Forthcoming; Politicians Are Exceeded Getting Busy Washington Unanimous agreement to eliminate the cash feature of the soldiers bonus except in the case of men whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50 was reported Thursday by the special subcommittee of Republican members of the house ways and means committee to which the whole bonus question was referred. In lieu of cash for the other service men it was agreed to add a new provision to the bonus bill under which the men accepting adjusted service certificates could borrow immediately on those certificates from banks a sum equal to 50 per cent of the total adjusted service pay, computed at the rate of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.23 a day for foreign service. This official statement of the agree, meat of the subcommittee was Issued by Chairman Fordney: The subcommittee, consisting of Chairman F'ordney, Messrs. , Green, Longworth, Hawley, Treadway anti Copley have tentatively agreed upon and prepared a provision to be- submitted which in substance Is as follows: The elimination of the cash feature of the bonus bill where the veterans are entitled to more than $50 adjusted service pay, but adding a new loan provision to the adjusted service certificate title, which will enable holders of such certificates to borrow from any national bank or bank or trust company Incorporated under the laws of any state, 50 per cent of the sum of the adjusted service pay prior to September 30, 1925. This date was fixed because after that time the bill as originally drafted by the committee provides for a larger percentage of loan by the government and has not been changed by the subcommittee. Chairman Fordney said this plnn was expected to meet with general approval, since It enabled the soldiers who may be fci need to obtain cash immediately after the Issuance of the certificates ; would relieve the treasury of any large cash payment during the enormous refunding operations which must be carried out In the next two years and would place no additional tax burden upon the public. Under another tentative provision being considered the tittle to the certificates could not be disposed of by the service men, the Idea being, Mr. Fordney explained.

If he does not receive satisfactory assurances of the loyal support of tne coalition conservatives, it is said, he will present to the king his resignation of the premiership, which he Is now ' figuratively carrying In his pocket. Private meetings of politicians led to no announcement of developments tending toward a solution of the crisis. One of them, indeed, hardened the opposition to the die hard conservatives to Lloyd Georges leadership. This meeting was held In a committee room of the 'house of commons, where more than eighty conservative members of the commons and house of lords adopted a resolution affirming that in order to restore confidence. throughout the country, and with a view to approaching general election, there is Urgent heed for of the conservative and unionist principles. The meeting is reported further to have decided that the utmost shall be done to hasten the formation of a conservative-unionis- t government. The determination of Mr. Chamber-lain- , Lord Chancellor Birkenhead and other conservative leaders to stand by Mr. Lloyd George is unshaken, and the steps they will take to bring their followers into line are awaited with interest. When Mr. Chamberlain speaks at Oxford, it Is generally expected, he will make a pronouncement bearing on the political crisis. The cabinet met Thursday but, as far as can be ascertained, did not deal with the crisis, transacting business. The newspapers say the storm raised by the premiers letter to Mr. Chamberlain became worse Thursday, while Lloyd Georges champions declare matters are somewhat improved. All agree, however, that nothing approaching a settlement has been reached and that difficulties acute. The Westminster Gazette' charges that the situation is a maneuver Lloyd George to secure the leadership of the Conservative party, and contends f t if this is not the object of his let. to Chamberlain, it Is gratuitous folly on his part only-stat- n e Union of Ulster With South Declared Certain When Home Rule Is Established In , Ireland Introduced in the senate by Chairman Jones of the commerce committee and in the house by Chairman Greene of the merchant marine committee, the bill set forth that the purpose of the direct subsidy provision Is to aid the development and maintenance of the American merchant marine, to promote the growth of the foreign commerce of the United States and to contribute to the national defense. Other provisions of the bill would authorize the creation of a construction loan fund, to be administered by the shipping board and derived from the sale of its vessels In addition to operating revenues ; require that not mofre than 50 per cent of the number of aliens admissible to this country in any one year be transported In foreign bottoms. Authorize the payment of an additional month's pay annually to officers and men otf the merchant marine who shall enlist in the merchant marine naval reserve, which the bill would establish as a component part of any reserve force of the United States navy. By amendment of section 5 of the merchant marine act of 1920 the shipping board would be authorized and directed to sell its ships as so(on as practicable and consistent with good business methods to citizens of the United States. The base subsidy rate provided for all vessels, either sailing or of 1500 gross tons or moire, regardless of speed, Is one-ha- lf of 1 per cent per gross ship ton per hundred nautical miles All power driven vessels traveled. between that tonnage and 1500 tons gross would receive the rate applying to the latter displacement. For vessels capable of a speed of thirteen knots or more additional allowances would s be provided ranging from of 1 cent to 2 cents for vessels knots or with a speed of twenty-thre- e more. i Dublin The crowds which gathered Sunday for the' opening of the campaign in favor of acceptance of the Anglo-Iris- h treaty were notable net olny because of their vast proportions, but also for the high degree of enthusiasm evinced.
