o I CORONER HALTS FUNERAL PARTY Seeks Information Concern= ing Lankford’s Death. LEFT NOTE TO FIANCE New York Official Hopes It May Clear Up Reason for Alleged Suicide of Vice President of the Southern Rail- way. New York, Jan. 19.—Efforts by the coroner to gain further information concerning’ the death of Richard D. Lankford, vice president of the South- ern Railway, asphyxiated by gas last Thursday in his Brooklyn home, de- layed the departure of the funeral party which accompanied the body to Princess Ann, Md., where it will be in- terred. As the pallbearers were leaving the Lankford home at the close of the funeral service the coroner interfered, ordered the coffin to be set down and demanded the production of a strong box, belonging to the railroad man, which he had been told contained pa- pers which would throw a light on, the glestion as to whether Lankford had committed suicide. Not until promise had been given that the box would be turned over to him would the coroner consent to the removal of the body from his juris- diction. He was told by friends of Lankford that it contained a letter to Miss Hel- en Patterson of Brooklyn, to whom Lankford was to have been married Saturday, and their wedding ring. He was further assured that the letter would not furnish the coroner the in- formation he desired. The same clergyman who was to have married the railroad man to Miss Patterson conducted the funeral serv- ices. Miss Patterson was a member of the funeral party, which on ac- count of: the coroner’s interference ‘was obliged to take a later train. Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway, and other officials of the road were the pallbearers. ARE MAKING SLOW PROGRESS Mexlcan Federal Prisoners En Route to Marfa, Tex. El Pago, Tex., Jan. 19.—The rem- nants of General Mercado’s Mexican federal army, which fled precipitately across the border a week ago, when the rebels captured Ojinaga, has left Shafter, Tex., on its march to Marfa. Guarded by United States soldiers and accompanied by 1,500 women, children and civilians, the rebels are making slow progress. General Ynez Salazar of the federal army, who was captured near Sander- son Friday, is at Marfa under guard of United States troops. WEALTHY WOMAN IS JAILED Refuses to Give Bonds When Arrested for Holding Meeting. Kansas City, Jan. 19.—Declaring “if this- place is fit for human beings I can stay,” Mrs. C. B. Hoffman, wife of a wealthy retired miller of Enter- prise, Kan., spent the night in jail, following her arrest with her husband, three other women and two men at a meeting held by women as a protest against police regulations curbing the ight of free speech.” Mrs. Hoffman and several other women arranged the meeting after the pelice broke up an 1. W. W. gathering and arrested nearly 100 men. Bonds of the seven arrested totaled $501, but all remained in jail. SETBACK GIVEN SUFFRAGE House Democrats Vote Against Fa- voring Resolutlon. Washington, Jan. 19.—A setback was given woman suffrage by the Democrats of the house rules com- mittee. In executive session they voted practically unanimously against a favorable report. The senate privileges and elections committee voted to recommend the seating of Blair Lee, senator elect from Maryland. Democrats of the house rules com- mittee decided against ordering an investigation of the Colorado coal strike and the Calumet (Mich.) cop- per strike.

PEOPLE AGAIN FLEE IN TERROR Japanese Volcano Resumes Violent Activity. SUN LIKE BALL OF BLOOD Gives Out No Light, However, and Darkness Is Such That Night Sig- nals Are Employed on the Railroads. Waters of the Gulf of Kagoshima Appear to Be Boiling. Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 19.—Two further violent- eruptions of the vol- cano Sakura-Jima, accompanied by a severe earthquake, have occurred, causing the collapse of many more ‘buildings. Numbers of the inhabitants of Ka- goshima, who had returned, fled again in terror from the city. Ashes are falling thickly. The sun looked iike a ball of blood over Kagoshima, but it gave no light, and signals had to,be employed on the railroads. Flying dust was thick on the streets. The waters of the Gulf of Kago- shima seemed to be boiling and the quantity of floating pumice stone was 80 great that it prevented navigation. Bluejackets from the Japanese fleet discovered a native craft containing sixteen refugees from Sakura, who were in a starving condition. They reported that owing to the floating masses of pumice stone and the high seas they had been unable to steer their boat and had spent three days adrift without - food. Lava is flowing steadily down the sides of the volcano to the sea, in- creasing the area of the island, as it solidified on reaching the water. It is still impossible to give any- thing like an approximate estimate of the number of victims from the re- cent eruptions, earthquake and tidal wave. Many refugees are reported to have been driven insane as a result of ter- ror and exposure. More than a mil- lion letters and 8,000 telegrams are lying in Kagoshima awaiting deliv- ery. FIRST REPORT EXAGGERATED Loss of Life in Japanese Earthquake Will Be' Small. Tokio, Jan. 19.—There was utmost astonishment when the first available ofticial report stated that the loss of life on Sakuashima island was very slight despite the fact that some 2,000 houses were destroyed in the two days’ terrible eruptions of the vol- cano on the island. The official report said that eleven persons were killed on the island, rvine by falling walls and two by drowning. It was admitted that the total casualties would be somewhat more than this because some are un- accounted for. Twenty thousand people lived on Sakushima island, but the volcanic eruptions, the report says, affected only a part of the island. FOUR PEOPLE DIT IN FIRE Apartment House at Brockton, Mass., Destroyed. Brockton, Mass, Jan. 19.—Three men and one woman were burned to denth and eight other persons, most- ly women, were badly injured in a fire in a three-story brick apartment house. All of the dead were suffocated and were found on the second floor. So severe was the fire that the fire- men and police were driven back every time they made an effort to enter the building. Only one suc- ceeded in getting in, Officer Green, who rescued a woman whom he found unconscious on the second floor. The monetary loss is about $8,000. GIRL DESERTS MILLIONAIRE Bitter Towards Poultry Dealer With Whom She Eloped. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 19.—Delilah Brad- ley, the seventeen-year-old girl who eloped with Joel M. Foster, millionaire New Jersey poultry man, left here with her fatler for her home in Pem- berton, N, J. Although she had pre- viously insisted she would sitck to Foster she was almost bitter in speak- ing of him. Foster faces not only “white slave” charges in the federal court, but also a serious allegation made under the state law. Graduating Class Honors Riley.

Moyer, president of the Western Fed- eration of Miners, and other indicted union leaders, to stand trial for con- spiracy. Special Prosecutor Nichols declared- that he was deliberating whether conspiracy is an etxraditable offense. Under the laws conspiracy is a mis- demeanor because it is punfshable by a sentence In the county jail. The maximum - sentence two years in Jall and a maximum fine of $2,000. On the other -hand the statutes provide ninety days as the maximum jail sen. tence for a misdemeanor. The special prosecutor is not certain that an of- fense punishable by a longer sentence than ninety days is not extraditable, as is a felony. Twenty-nine of the thirty-eight men Indicted by the special grand jury bave been ted. Those upon whom warrants had not been served because they were outside the statc included Moyer, C. E. Mahoney, vice president of the Western Federation; J. C. Lowney, Yanko Terzich and Guy Miller, members of the . executive council; Ben Goggia and Jacob Olivia, organizers. Those arrested and released on bail were required to appear before Judge O’Brien, who bound them over to the term of court that will begin on Jan. 26.

THAT TIRED FEELING Suggests Gmdmnther s It’s true, the season’s here with its sudden changes, and the old idea. that we need a blood medicine is not nvithout reason.. Too much heavy food has caused a torpid liver, slug- gish blood, and a weak, tired out feeling. Sulphur, cream of tartar and mo- lasses was grandmother’s remedy but that has long ago been displaced by Vinol, a combination of the two most world famed tonics, namely, the med- icinal curative elements of the cod’s liver, without oil, and iron for the blood. Vinol builds you up, makes you eat more and digest better, makes your blood rich and pure—puts healthy color in your cheeks. N. G. Clift of Opelika, Ala., says: “Last spring I was all run down, no strength, no appetite. I took Vinol and was greatly benefited by its use. as T soon felt strong and well as ever.” ‘We guarantee Vinol to satisfy you and refund your money if it does not.
