May 19. Truman S. Taylor, a bookkeeper of Pahala, injured by a 6tone thrown from Kilauea Volcano on Sunday, is dead and two soldiers Privates Edward- Hinman and Howard Simmons who are believed to have visited the volcano on the same day, are missing. A sister of Taylor. Mrs.

R. W. Rouse, lives in Area, 111. Taylor is the first victim in history of Kilauea. He had both legs crushed and died from the shock of amputation.

Three Jfew Explosions. An engineer, who remained at Vol-cano House over night, has telephoned that there was another eruption at 3.30 this morning, not so great as the one of last evening, and another at 7 this morning. There was another explosion in the crater at noon, about as heavy as the two which had preceded it this morning. No additional casualties were reported. The soldiers who are missing left the military camp on Friday for a hike.

Superintendent Boles has ordered the park closed and vacated until the violence stops. The park road to Halemau-mau also is closed, rangers being ordered to arrest anyone attempting to pass. The air is highly charged with electricity. All leaves within two miles of the pit have been pierced by ash pebbles. There is mud an inch thick, hard as cement, ou Boles porch.

The most serious explosion since the volcano Kileauea has been in erruption occurred at 7.30 last evening. Lightning splintered 12 telephone poles, hampering communi cation. Last nights's explosion threw masses of red-hot rock two miles from the pit of the volcano, while a smoke cloud several miles high hangs over the vicin ity, lightning being visible through the density. Party Hunting Missing: Returns. A wireless message received today from Kilauea military camp by the Hawaiian department of the army said that all the members of a party that had searched for two missing men had been accounted for.

but that the two men said to have been standing by the side of the pit of Kilauea volcano after the eruption had not been seen. The airplane landing field, a short distance from the camp, was covered with large boulders, making it impossible to send a plane to the volcano. It is estimated that approximately 100 men had been visiting the military camp. The message failed to state whether a canvass had shown two missing. California Senator's Name May Not Be Presented At Cleveland.

By the Associated Press. Washington, May 10. Senator Hiram Johnson said today he had released the South Dakota delegation "and some others" from any obligation to support him for President at the Cleveland convention, but he declined to elaborate in any way on the announcement. Should those chosen to support him accept the release, it is possible that his name may not be presented to the convention. PHOTOGRAPHS SENT 500 MILES BY WIRE Transmitted From Cleveland To New York In Less Than Five Minutes.

DEVICE FOR CONVENTION USE Teiephne Officials Claim Method Can Be Adapted To Radio If Conditions Are Favorable. By the Associated Press. New' York, May 19. Transmission of photographs from Cleveland to New York city, more than 500 miles, over long-distance telephone lines, was accomplished today, in a demonstration by laboratory experts of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The method, achieved after several years' work, was described by officials of the company as "a simple, rapid, and accurate picture transmitting system." It will be installed on the company's various long distance lines, it was announced, in accordance with the demand which arises for this type of service.

Picture Five By Seven Inches. Cleveland was selected as the place for the transmitting station so that the pictures taken at the Republican National Convention might be transmitted to New York within a few minutes. Actual transmissions today showed that photographs could be transmitted to New York and made ready for producing newspaper plates within 10 minutes from the time the original photograph was placed on the transmitting machine. A photograph of a group of newspaper men taken in the Cleveland laboratory today wasi transmitted to New York in four and one-half minutes, excluding the time required in developing the original in Cleveland and few minutes required in developing the print in New York. The pictures transmitted were five inches by seven inches in size.

Messages in handwriting also were trans mitted, the copy received being a facsimile of the original message. Xevr Device Light Valve, Used. In sending a picture the original is placed around a cylinder within which there is a photo-electric cell. On an other cylinder in the receiving office an unusued film placed. Both cylinders revolve in synchronization.

During the operation a very small but intense beam of light is thrown on the original photograph, passing through the film to the photo-electric cell with an intensity proportionate to the lights and shades of the original picture. By the aid of a new device known as a light valve a beam of light, varying in intensity in exact correspondence with the original beam received by the photo-electric cell, is thrown on the film onto which the picture is being transmitted. As the re ceiving cylinder revolves the ray of light moves gradually from one end of the cylinder to the other end. When the end is reached the film is ready for development. Officials of the telephone company said the method could not be used on cables, because it is necessary to am plify at various stations the current used in transmitting the photographs.

Tests have demonstrated, it was announced, that photographs can be trans mitted by radio by the same method when atmospheric conditions are favorable. The method was worked out by the telephone company experts in cooperation with laboratory experts of the Western Electric Company. 1 Smith Typeivriter Plant Wrecked By Explosion One Man Killed And Score Injured In Syracuse Blast.

He Warns Bolsheviks To Watch United States Gas Service 1 In Maryland. By the Associated Press. Moscow, May 19. In inaugurating a nation-wide campaign for the development of the gas and chemical industry for the purposes of defense, Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik Minister of War and Marine, tonight urged workers throughout the world to keep a close eye on tjbe Edgewood Arsenal, in Maryland, which, he asserted, was able to produce in a single day more asphyxiating gas than the whole of Germany at the zenith of its chemical power.

"Russian scientists," Trotzky declared, "have not been backward in discovering asphyxiating gases, but it is necessary to reestablish Russia's chemical which is a gigantic task. The manufacture of chemicals for warfare is making great headway in the United States and France." FUGITIVES, TRAPPED, SHOOT EACH OTHER One Alleged Bandit Dead, Another Wounded Seriously After Ohio Chase. SUSPECTS IN HOLD-UP CASE Believed To Have Entered Hnrried Death Pact "When Cornered. Tiltonville, Ohio, May 19 -(Special). Cornered by Pennsylvania State police, two alleged bandits turned their revolvers on each other here this afternoon, with the result that one was killed and the other wounded seriously.

It is supposed the tragedy resulted from a hurried death pact. Each of the men had been struck at least twice by shots fired by the State police before they opened lire on each other.

They had been sought since last July in connection with a 70,000 pay roll hold-up at Moosic, near Scran-ton, Pa.

Stummy was killed. Tonti was taken to the Martins Ferry1 Hospital, where it was found he had been wounded three times once in the left arm and twice in the head. The shooting and chase which preceded the dath pact began in front of the postoffice here, when three State troopers recognized the alleged bandits a moment before they jumped into their car and dashed away. Driver Of Car Wounded. Closely following the fleeing men in another car the State troopers kept up a running fire with the fugitives until it was seen that the driver of the fleeing car had been wounded.

A moment later the bandits' car stopped by the roadside and its occupants dashed into a field. Driven back into town, Stummy and Tonti attempted to make a stand, but their shots went wild. Stummy then sent a bullet into Tonti, the latter returned the fire, killing his companion. 34 INJURED AT N. Y.

OWEXS. Washington, May 19. The final enactment of the Soldiers' Bonus bill thi afternoon, when the Senate, by, a vote of 59 to 26. joined tbe House in overriding President Coolidge's veto, may lead to another connect between Congress and the Administration over the degree and the character of tax reduc tion. Quite conceivably, the conflict will so develop as to' set the President definitely against the tax bill, not because there is any reason there should not be a substantial of tax reduction, even with the bonus, but because Congress may insist upon reducing taxes a drastically as though it had not laid the bonus cost on the Treasury.

White Houmc Silent On Resnlt. 1 It is evident tonight that Secretary Mellon is not seeking another clash. When word of the Senate's action reached the Treasury it was stated authoritatively that, after all, this bonus is the cheapest that has been proposed, and that, assuming economy in otfier respects, the cost can be borne without foregoing all tax reduction. The White House was silent, but is expected to take its cue from the Treasury. However, the Treasury assumption that a substantial degree of tax reduction is yet possible was based on the theory that Congress, before finally passing the tax bill, will take into consideration the effect on the Treasury of the bonus costs.

And that is where the rub comes. It as quite likely that while tht niore.4conservative men dealing with taxation will favor readjustments, thcr will be others, including some influential Republicans, who will favor ignoring the bonus. WThat Treasury Face. The facts are these: The Treasury estimates the surplus in the next fiscal year ending June 30, 1925 at $395,000,000 if the present taxes were continued. The reduction that would be effected, under either the House or Senate Tax bill, would be over $400,000,000 very appreciably 1 over that figure, according to some estimates.

Hence, on the basis of the Treasury's expectations for the 1925 fiscal year, and on the basis of tax reductions contemplated in either tax bill, and effective, mostly, next year, tax reduction would take all of the surplus funds of tbe Treasury, if it did not take more. Even if it be-held that the Treasury is ultra conservative in its of surplus, there is little reason to suppose that tbe uncounted on surplus would run into great figures. Bonus Cost In 1025. Therefore, the passage over the President's veto thrusts the cost of the bonus on the Treasury at a time when tax reduction has been framed to take all the Treasury's available funds not taking' into consideration any of the special appropriation bills. What this thrusting of the bonus cost upon the Treasury means, under those circumstances, will be appreciated when it is stated that the estimate now generally accepted of the 1925 cost of the bonus is $145,000,000.

It is too big a sum to be trifled with. Thus far, the bonus men who have inquired where the money is to come from, if the taxation program as out- -lined by Congress is carried through, have answered themselves by saying that the initial cost of the bonus can be met from hang-over surplus, and that the subsequent cost can be met out of economies to be effected in the future. Specifically, their theory in this The Treasury has been counting on a surplus in the current fiscal year, ending June 30 next, of $329,000,000. It may be somewhat higher. Only part of that, perhaps $225,000,000, will be necessary to take care of the flat reduction of 25 per cent, in this year's taxes on last year's income that is contemplated in the tax bill apart from the general tax resolution, which would not take effect, as to income taxes, until next year.

$100,000,000 Would Be Saved. Something like $100,000,000 would be saved. Also, the Treasury would accumulate some surplus in the last six months of this calendar year (which are the first six months of the next fiscal year) and before the general tax reduction would take effect. In total, therefore, the Treasury would have a surplus, not affected either by tbe general reduction or the flat reduction of 25 per cent, this year, which would run considerably beyond the $100,000,000 mark. That, the bonus men say, could be used to pay the estimated $145,000,000 TAX POT IL ELECTIONS Nine-Tenths Of Favorable Ballots Ignored Merit Of Bill, It Is Said.

COST TO MARYLAND PUT AT $20,000,000 Figures Showing Burden Other States Based On Population. To Bjr PRANK R. KENT. WA8HIWQT0H, May 19. "THERE is Uttle nourishment In sub- muting evidence to tne court airer the verdict has been rendered.

Believing the vote on the bonus might be postponed a day, some convincing nnd impressive figures -were gathered by persons "who falsely assumed the merits the matter might have something to do with the IT was, for instance, shown that, taking $2,000,000,000 as the minimum cost to the country, Maryland, having 1 per cent, of the total population, must shoulder $20,000,000 of this sum. This happens to be the amount of the net State debt, so that really what the bonus does to Maryland is double its debt. A similar calculation, based on population, can be made other States. The bonus will cost: New York'-. $200,000,000 Delaware 3,500,000 Virginia 40,000,000 West Virginia 20,000.000 Pennsvlvania 165,000,000 OUT what is the use of presenting these facts now.

The deed is ione, and feeling is divided between resentment over the insincerity and cowardice of the bonus supporters in 'ongress and amazement over the weakness of the President, who cannot get support enough from his own party regulars to sustain a veto of such overwhelming importance. It naturally gives rise to the question of what is the use of Mr. Cool-idge having sound views on these important matters if there is not sufficient force in him or back of him to get anywhere with them. So far as the good they do, he might just as well not have them. TJT there is not much use discussing that now although this Presi dential futility is getting more and more to be the outstanding feature of the Coolidge Administration.

It is more interesting today to present the refreshingly candid statement privately made of a pro-bonus Congressman, above the average in intellect and standing. This is what he said "There are in my district ex- service men, including sailors. Those iirp the checked-uo fhrures. Of that number, at least 3,500 would be influenced against me if I failed them" on the bonus. In addition, these men have approximately 2,500 fathers and brothers who vote.

From 1,500 to 2,000 of these would be swung against me. In other words, the minimum vote I would alienate by opposing the bonus would be 5,000. Now, I am never elected by innrA than 3.500. That is the best I can hope for. "There are, in my district, 50 bankers, all of whom are against the bonus.

There are, besides, 150 to 200 business fcppn enouzh to know what the bonus means to them. All these bankers and business men have written me against the bonus. They control less rhan 1.000 votes. Balance that against the 5,000 I am sure to lose the other way, and they don't amount to a damn. "Now, I know the bonus is bad for tbe country and I hate to see it pass.

1 could be a courageous Congressman and vote against it. Probably my con science would be easier if I did, but it is lear I would be committing political hara-kiri. I would be voting myself of mv seat and I am damned if I am going to do it." "TT1EKE you have it. That jis the way nine-tenths of the pro-bonus Conzressmen felt and figured. What was the use of discussing the "merits' the bill with them? The result would have been the same if the cost had been doubled.

It was a question vote for the bonus or lose your seat It is a mean situation, particularly when you are coming up this faJJ for reelection. Of course, it takes nerve That's what they lacked. That's the great trouble. But some of them had it. Borah had it and he is a candidate for reelection in Idaho, and Underwood had it and lie is candidate for the Presidency There are a few but, so few.

Long before the Senate overrode the President's veto of the bonus legislation this afternoon the administrative machinery was ready to carry out what perhaps will be the largest single clerical job ever attempted in connection with a war. Hardly had the Senate roll call been announced before the machinery was put in motion and copy was sent to the Public Printer from which will be turned out millions or application blanks and booklets of instruction. Chief Burden On War Department. Perhaps the largest share of the huge administrative task will fall upon the War Department.
