j According to Mr. Siegel, who went
I over the record in the case with Pro

, not shown that the answers which

j true and only one witness, Captain

Masses of Hot Ashes
Thrown by Volcano
By Associated Press
Tokio, Dec. 26.—Mount Aso, an
active volcano in Kyushu, has been
unusually active of late. Rumblings,
tmall eruptions and showers of
ashes were freqtiently experienced.
A comparatively big eruption oc
curred a few days ago when masses
of ashes fell over the surrounding
country.
The atmosphere above the vol
cano district was a mass of reddish
yellow clouds and the mountains
and fields were mantled with a thick
layer of greyish ash from the crater.
Numerous cattle and horses which j
ate the grass on these fields have j
died through poisoning, says one re- ,
port. - * j
Dr. Imamura, a noted seismologist,
declares that the volcano has just
entered a stage of greatest activity,
but he does not think any great dis
' astrous eruption will occur.

the humble stable. Elmer E. Ley
acted the part of Joseph and Miss |
Eva Irving, as Mary.
Combined Choruses
Three selections, "Oh Little Town !
Of Bethlehem." "Hark the Herald j

with pleasing effect.

"We Three Kings of the Orient Are,"

seen to enter and inspect the con
ents of the manger. The presenta
tion of "Silent Night" marked the

lehem" shone forth.
