OVER 6,000,000 PEOPLE
HOMELESS IN JAPAN.
*Tokio, Japan, Sept. 8.—Oshi-
ma, the volcano of the island of
that name, off the coast of Ja-
pan, which for centuries has
smoked and fumed, exploded
and all but blew from the earth
two of the proudest cities of the
Orient—Yokohama and Tokio.
Then, its fury spent in its last
great convulsion, it sank back
into the sea whence, centuries
ago it had come.
And as it passed beneath the
waves, its dying agony was re-
flected in the great earthquake
and tidal wave that swept the
gay sea coast.
Fire, death and havoc were
the attendants at the funeral of
Oshima.
That, summed up, is the sto-
ry of what appears to have been
the greatest disaster in the moil
ern era of the world’s history.
Through the ages Japan,
scientists knew, has been sit-
ting over a seething furnace.
Probably the thinnest place in
the earth’s crust jutted from
the seas. Beneath the interior
of the earth was a fiery cauld-
ron. The fires had vent thru
Japan’s volcanoes.
It was as a nation sitting on
a powder box—and the powder
exploded thru Oshima.
The volcano’s death came at
noon last Saturday, but its dy-
ing struggles lasted for two
days and two nights—a series
of countless earthquakes.
Tokio, the capitol city and
pride of the Orient, is three-
fourths destroyed. One bank
was left standing; not a depart-
ment store remains. Two news
paper offices of the many in the
city are left. How many |H*ople
are dead can not now be said.
The property loss is incalcula-
ble, but it includes practically
all the property, foreign and
Japanese, in the cities of Tokio |
and Yokohama and in the great
industrial district near them, j
The royal family is safe. So!
is the American Ambassador i
and his staff. But the death of j
American Consul Kirjassoff at
Yokohama is confirmed.
The great ImjxTial Hotel, the i
Far East’s most famed hostelry, I
in the heart of Tokio, was one
of the few buildings escaping I
with but slight damage.
Yet. within sight of it stands j
the great skeletons of Tokio’s j
modern “skyscraper” district,!
their frames burned and black-,
ened by fire and twisted by the1
i art hquake.
But the picture of the |>eople
—the great masses left home-
less and destitute—is a sight
which beggar* description.
They number somewhere be-
tween 6,000,000 and 10,000,000
_no one knows how many.
In Tokio they are concent rut-
a#1 »•* * It** »o» » b 4 oiwl atutfet alUli't**
v\i in |• tv* **••'* ^-** » r*— — »
homeless and helpless.
Vet not all tin* tragedy is
even partly over. The family
life of Ja|wot is the fabric round
which the nation is built; ami
the disaster has separated fam-
ilies. killing ami scattering their j
members. That is the reason|
hack of the pitiful scenes in the
parks and concentration places
where men am) women null con-
stantly around, crying the name
of their loved ones and hoping
against ho|ie for an answer.

Calf Creek farmer, who with hi*
son. Tom. wa* struck by light-
ning at the Reuben Bradshaw
home near Calf Creek on Mon-
day shortly after 12 o'clock.
The son, who was also struck,
but not so badly injured, is re-
ported as doing nicely and will
fully recover.
It is stated that Mr. Bingham,
his sons, Tom and Calvin, with
Reuben Bradshaw and others,
were standing in the yard at the
Bradshaw home, after return-
ing from a baptising service in
which the elder Bingham was
baptised into the church, watch-
ing a cloud, when a bolt of light-
ning shot down striking inthe
top of a tree, tearing down the
tree it leaped to a wire fence
and followed it along to near
w here Mr. Bingham and his son
were standing, and it is saidi
looked to have struck the elder
Bingham in the top of the head
felling him to the ground.
The rest of the party were al-
so knocked down. The fiery
stroke followed Mr. Bingham’s
body, bursting his shoes from
his feet and so intense was the
heat that his collar button,
which was exhibited here Tues-
day, was practically melted.
The young man was reported
yesterday as all right, but the
elder gentleman is still in a
very critical condition with a
slight chance of recovery.
