Hundreds fled to the open country. y Prof fl' Rico, the director of the ob servatory an Mount Etna, remained at his post, noting all the phenomena of the .eruption In spite of the grave danger of his position. The observa tory lies 9,000 feet up the mountain, above the timber line, and but 1,700 feet from the main crater. Boston, Mass., March 84 The erup tion of Mt.

STRIKE A QUESTION OF ENDURANCE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Philadelphia, March 24 With the abandonment of the state-wide strike policy by the state federation of la bor and the returning of men to work breaking the sympathy strike, the battle between the car men and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany has settled down into a ques tion of endurance. While mediation between the com pany and the striking car men has been halted by the firm stand of the union leaders for further concessions; advocates of an early settlement have by no means given up hope than an agreement will be' reached. . While there was a faint hope that an adjustment of the difficulties might be reached, 1 twas generally admitted this morning that this par ticular ray of hope was exceedingly slender, and that owing to the stand. pat policy that each side had adopted, it was practically impossible for any reconciliation with either the com pany or the men. The chief event scheduled for to day is the mass meeting oflhc union men in labor Lyceum Hall this after noon to perfect a political movement in the interest of and for all" the people". Evry union and labor or ganization in the city was asked to send 10 delegates to take part in the meeting. . .-.

Special to The Times) Charlotte, Match 24 At a meeting of the republican executive commit tee of this the ninth congressional district, held here yesterday, the chairman, Mr, Jake F. Newell, was instructed to call the convention to meet in Shelby May 18. This was the most important action taken at the meeting, besides a general dis cussion of the political prospects in this district, and the expression of the determination to make a vigorous fight in an effort to unseat Congress man Webb at the next election. A resolution was also passed in viting the state republican conven tion to meet in this city. There are two prospective candi dates for congress from this district, one being Mr. S. S. McNInch, a pros perous manufacturer and at one time mayor of the city, and the other be ing Dr. H. M. Wilder, a prominent physician. Both these gentlemen are considered national republicans. It had been intimated that Mr. McNInch might become a candidate as an in dependent democrat and it was thought that should he do this he would obtain the solid support of re publicans. This view of the matter, however, was squashed by a state ment from Chairman Jake Newell. He said the republicans of this dis trict favor a strong man and one with business - ability, but that he must run as a straight republican to ob tain republican support. It had been thought that Mr. Mc NInch was a receptive candidate and that he would get' the support of the republicans should he run as an inde pendent democrat. It Is not known, however, what view he takes of the matter now. But It is very evident that a good many republicans hope Mr. McNInch will accept the nomina tion as a straight republican and it is generally believed that If he will agree to do this he will be elected. The republicans are organizing in an effort to make a strong fight in this district, which at present be longs to Congressman Webb. Congressman Morehead was in' the city today but did not attend the meeting, fearing he might be criti cised for attempting to Interfere In the matters of this district.

(By Leased Wire to The Ti mes. ) New YorkMacehV24-r Jack John son has found friend who has faith in him to tne -extent of $5,000. He brought him to court today when he appeared before Judge Mulqueen to renew his bait bond of $5,000 to in sure his appearance when wanted to face the charge of assaulting Norman Pinder, a puny negro. The bond accepted yesterday did not satisfy Judge Mulqueen or Dis trict Attorney-Whitman and Johnson would have had' to spend the night in the cell, where fie spent the greater part of the day.' if the Judge had not changed , his (rafnd and accepted it. Johnson promised to furnish a new bond today j and appea.ed before noon in the court of general sessions. Johnson's new bondsman did not meet with the approval of the head of the bonding department and it was only after a consultation with tiie district attorney -and Judge Mulqueen that it was decided to accept him. Probably remembering that ''the first shal be last and the last shall be first," the ebony-hued pugilist, who is niatc.ied ta fight Jeffries on July 4, took a seat in the rear of the court room. The Judge evidently did not see him when he took the bench, and when he noticed him some time later, he said: -. "I see Mr. Johnson is in the aud ience and he appears to be very mucn amused," then, 'addressing himself to the fighter, he iasued: "How about your, bondsman?" Johnson's " experience yesterday convinced him that Jt was mistaken in believing that Ufa predicament was mfth'Ing more,Jserlbus than annoying. Solemnly lie walked up to the bar, and asked the judge if he might speak. "Please, your honor, he said, after receiving permission to speak, "I think this treatment of me is hard and unjust. Many civil suits have been started against me because I broke my theatrical contract to come here and I think I have acted in good faith throughout. -I have come from Kansas City, and other faraway places to,, be on hand when I was' wanted." "I can't help t'hat," the judge answered. "I have nothing to do with the civil cases. The court can't be trifled with, and I am sure that the district attorney had nothing to do with the spiriting away of the com plaining witness." Johnson said he had no idea where Pinder was, but that last night he learned that one of the women wit nesses, whom he knew only as "Red Head," was living in west 35th street. She was ill, he said, and that was the reason she had not appeared. Johnson was then talten to the bonding department wnere his bonds man was waiting to sign the papers. While they were waiting the district. attorney asked him: "How are your biceps, Mr. John son?" Johnson's grin almost reached from ear to ear, and he answered: "Oh, they're feeling fine." . A big diamond in his shirt front attracted Mr. Whitman's attention. "We ought to be able to find you easily enough if you always wear that headllgnt," he said. "Well, to make. It doubly sure, 1 will wear two if you will let me go," Johnson replied. HOW'S THIS? by 10':00 o clock on the day . ROYALL & BORDER 4 URN ITU KE CUM1 AiN Y, T. P. Jerman, See, & Trcas.

The testimony of trainmen and pas sengers showed that when Bethea boarded the train at Baltimore where he had planned to undergo an opera tion, be was crazed with drink.

His actions were, peculiar when he boarded the Pullman car ut Baltimore. In the car were-thirteen- other pas sengers, half a dozen of them women and children. Uethea's actions terror ized the passengers, whom he annoyed at every opportunity. The porter, Williams, bore the brunt of his ill-nature, Bethea constantly summoning him to bring whiskey. At every drink he attacked the porter verbally. It was when the porter did not serve whiskey fast enoughf that Bethea started for him. The train lurched as he neared the porter, who fell against him. , In a moment Bethea had shot the negro dead, firing through his chest and continuing to pump but lets Into his prostrate body.
