MISSING AFTER VOLCANO GOES ON TEAR American Nurse Among Those Lost in Hawaii Volcano Disaster HONOLULU, May 19.— Three persons are unac- counted for following a vio- lent explosion in the crater of Kilauea, volcano, on the island of Hawaii, said ad- vices reaching here last night from Hilo, on that island. They are Miss Molly U. Thomas, a district nurse of the board of health, and two sol- diers whose names were not given,. The explosion was the most viol- ent of the current period of activity in the volcano, The three were seen at the edge of the great pit of the crater immediately before the explos- ion and had not been found after- wards up to the time the Hilo dis- Patch was filed. A searching party headed by Cap- tain Charles H. Perkins, of the mili- tary. force on duty fear the volcano, began combing the - near where ‘the three were seen last and slong the'trail’ leading away from it. Truman & Taylor, a bookkeeper of Pahala, was struck by a rock thrown out from the volcano immediately after the explosion and had both legs crushed. He also was burned sey- erely by the hot ashes ejected.from the crater, Taylor was unable to seek safety but his cries were heard by another sightseer, who assisted him to the military. p. There he was given first ald and an army ambulance provided to convey him to a hospital in Hilo. Violent explosions, with eruptions of rocks, sand and ashes, continue unabated. There were eleven Satur- day night, three notable ones Sun- day morning, besides numerous les- ser disturbances at irregular inter- vals. Each donation is followed by a shower of rocks of immense size, some of the missiles being hurled three-quarters of a mile. The rock which injured Taylor fell 1,800 feet from the crater. A rain of ash and mud follows these rockshowers. The rainfall is tremendous and is accom: panied by brilliant displays of light- ning and violent thunder.

It stands in St. Mary Gray, a Kentish villages and be- came known to the American poet when he visited the poetess, Eliza Cook. The appearance of the smithy at present hardly meets the de scription in the poem. The spreading chestnut tree vanished long ago, being felled because it darkened the neighboring houses and the building now is to go for an equally utilitarian reason; it’s site is wanted in furtherance of a street widening plan.

There are conferences now among Democratic leaders which may in- fluence the whole trend of events at the Democratic national conven- tion six weeks hence. Mr. McAdoo and his associates are confident of the outcome. They nei- ther look doubtful nor talk that way. Arrangements are being made for the convention itself—that is what has brought several national com- mitteemen here—but the undercur- rent of conversation is not who shall be temporary or permanent chair- man or what the strategy of the con- vention. The McAdoo men are sure of more than 400 votes on the first ballot. They say they have more votes in store on subsequent ballots. ‘If they get a majority, they believe the whole convention will swing toward them and furnish the necessary two thirds, On what is all this confidence based? You can’t talk five minutes with any of the McAdoo men before learning that they are absolutely convinced that the dragging in of McAdoo’s . name in the oll controversy erroneous because he thinks a radi- kind of thing which Republicans wilt think harmful but which the Demo- cratic party will not. For in the first place Mr. McAdoo feels he has done nothing wrong, that nobody has accused him of any legal wrong- doing, and that his activity as a law- yer after he left the treasury de partment is no different from the activity of Charles Evans Hughes after he left the supreme court of the United States. Mr. Hughes, it { polpted out, argued befers &: mer associates and was highly paid for his services, But the McAdoo men say the old discussion is “old stuff and that the people in several state primaries have passed on it and given McAdoo their support. Far more significant at the moment is the course that the Mc- Adoo generals are taking in map- Ping out their campaign for the nomination which is the first hurdle to be crossed. The McAdoo men Point significantly to the statement by Senator LaFollette that he would run independently if both parties name a conservative. The inference which the McAdoo strategists draw from this is that he may not run if @ radical or Mberal Democrat {s nom!- nated. Anyway, the whole basis of the McAdoo campaign is that there must be a difference between the two candidates and the parties in the forthcoming contest that the west and south can be counted upon to support a liberal and progressive, while the East will naturally vote, to a large extent, for a conservative, Former Secretary McAdoo's| speeches fn the west are exactly’ iff With that’ doctrine, ‘While he, himself, would probably say that to his doctrines as radical Js © Wontinued on Page Eight) TONG WARISLOO FOR IN LOS ANGELES STANDING CAR Two Murders Among Chinese Residents Brood Ill for Peace of Community Of Orientals BY FORREST WHITE, _ (Copyright, 1924, by The Qasper Tribune).

WASHINGTON, May 19.— The senate today overrode President Coolidge's veto of the soldier bonus bill. The measure now automatically becomes law, the house having taken similar action. The vote was 59 to 26 to over throw the veto. Several Republican organiza- tion leaders joined with a strong Democratic lineup in upsetting the veto on a vote which was in doubt until the last minute, This was two moro than the nec essary two-thirds majority. President Coolidge himself made an eleventh hour effort to stem the tide of support for the bill. Ho summoned seven Republicans favoring it to the White House but was unable to swing over enough votes io accomplish tts defeat. Thirty Republicans, 27 Demo- erats and the two Marmer-Labor senators voted to override the veto. Nineteen Republicans and seven Democrats voted to sustain the president. WASHINGTON, May 19.
