The con fession of six men who appeared be fore Judge Fraser todjy caused sensa tions. The climax came when George B. Anderson, a former select council man, fainted as the court asked him if he had ever received money for his vote. Before the judgo could finish his question Anderson had fallen backward, striking his head on the floor of the court room. Attendants and attaches rushed to his aid and when he waa revived he answered the jndgo's question. Robert W. Cochrane, formerly a member of the council, admitted re ceiving $C0O to vote for the bank de pository ordinance .and $500 for the ordinance vacating South Seventh street. Judge Fraser wanted to know how It came he 'received so much more than other councllmen for voting for these measures. Cochrane was unable to make a eatixfactory explanation. He Insisted he had dis tributed none of the money. Judge Fraser reminded Cochrane that this was a serious matter, and he would have to take tho case under consid eration. No suspension of sentence was granted and Cochrane left the court room.

Mount Etna is again in a state of violent activity. The violence is rapidly increas ing, -and tonight the gravest fears for results exist. From Catania the Associated Press correspondent motored to ward the mountain. Beyond the village of Mascalucia. twelve miles in a direct line from the crater, a thick curtain of smoke was encountered which entirely concealed Mount Etna. At Nicolosi. ten miles from the crater, the entire pop ulation had gathered in the square to watch the volcano. A deep roaring was heard, and detonations resembling ar tillery followed one another In quick succession, while the earth shook. One of the guides cried: "An earthquake!" and could hardly be induced to continue. The hot cinders covered the ground like a thick carpet. A peasant was encountered coming down... He said: "The fire is rushing down, burning everything. The lava is like a red hot river." Proceeding a little further, four colossal columns of black smoke could be observed. Occasionally they were cut with flashes of fire, presenting an awe-inspiring spectacle. The wind opened the clouds for a moment and a wide strip of fire could be seen in the distance, advancing with mon strous contortions... It fell like a torrent from Mount Ca priolo, spreading out in the valley below. The lava flow had already reached the vineyards above San Leo, and Rinazz. seven miles from the crater, and had buried many peasant houses. It came in several streams and united in one great mass about twenty feet high and 1500 feet wide. Its velocity was estimated at three to four feet a minute. This mighty wall of red hot lava tonight was not more than five miles from Belpasso and Nicolosi. The meteor ological station in the mountain side has been destroyed, and the village of Borrello is in serious danger. The popu lace, terror stricken, are fleeing. Fifty earth shocks, with continuous vibration and trem bling for many miles, have occurred. Everywhere the vil lagers are carrying images in procession and are imploring for mercy. Twelve new craters have been opened up. Help for the people of the devasted district was organ ized here and a large number of doctors and engineers sent. The prefect, after a visit to the scene, said: "The spectacle of desolation is comparable only with the destruction in the wake of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1905." Prof. Ricco, director of Etna observatory, said: ''The eruption is very grave. Lava has covered five miles in six teen hours. If calculations are correct, the eruption will not be short." Crowds of tourists, Americans being conspicuous, are flocking to view the spectacle. ES DENVER, March 24. Sensational reports reached here today of Import ant changes In tho control of Denver and R!o Grande and the Western Pa cific railroads. The Times this even ing says: Edwin Hawley Is said to have se cured Important holdings In the Den ver and Rio Grande .and Is now de clared to be In a position to dictate the traffic policy of that road andj tne western racmc. it nas ueen con firmed officially that Mr. Hawley Is a large stockholder in the Western Pa cific, but his holdings in that road aro sufficient to give control. His domination of affairs in the Western Pacific Is declared to be due to tho acquisition of stock In the Denver and Rio Grande. tence for bribery, on which h wan convicted some months ago. Dis trict Attorney Ulakcly Insists that Brand did not tell tho whole truth and was shielding someone else. The district attorney had the names of persons Brand Is chaged with shield ing, but Braud would iot glvo up the desired Information. The confes sions of Wasson and Klein cover this point, however. Former Councilman John Taylor, who was Implicated in the graft scan dal by Dr. W. H. Weber, brought suit against Weber today for $25,000 damages. Taylor has made a pub lic denial .and sys Weber's statement Is untrue. Indicted councllmen today began to come forward and give bonds In court for their appearance, signi fying thoy swiUl iiut up a ftpht for freedom. DEMOCRATS NAME RULES MEIERS WASHINGTON, March 24 With scarcely the semblance of a struggle, ;he democratic members of the house tonight named thefollowing four mi nority members of the new committee on rules: Champ Clark, of Missouri. 125 votes; Oscar Underwood, of Alabama. 102; Lincoln Dixon, of Indiana. 99, John J.

The expected fight on Fitzgerald for hi3 attitude on the rules question at the beginning of the present congress, when he, with twenty-three other democrats, left the leadership of Clark and voted wl:h tho republicans, ma terialized early In the meeting, but failed of any definite result.
