Down One Cent tORTLAND, Apr. 14 Ft Cut In the price of standard grade cube but ter on the Portland produce exchange for the late session indicated more or leas congestion. It also reflected the work of distributors of the higher score to force once again a differen tial between the two grades. The cut in standard butter was followed by the like loss of lc lb. In the buying price of butterfat both here and at country stations. There continues a liberal Increase ln the make of butter at practically, all Pacific northwest points although the reverse appears true of the south west and the California territory. I Increasing stocks hero have weak ened the general trend of the trade, creating a surplus that is becoming more or less bothersome to receivers and distributors. General egg market trading con tinues to reflect nothing better than steadiness with wceukness in spots with more or less secret price shad ing by outsiders. Fractional price losses are reiiectoa in buying prices on some lines of poultry with heavy hens down to 16c generally and colored broilers no high er than 18(w20c lb. Owing to the much mlldar weather conditions now prevailing, It is not advisable to ship dressed poultry Into Portland from the country. Some re cent arrivals of chickens and turkeys were condemned by officials. Arrivals of strawberries from Cali fornia are Increasing but demand Is good and prices are held up.

While the cause of the blast was undetermined, It was known that it could not have been a gas explosion, since no gas lines had been laid In tne structure. The basement and first floors took fire and fire companies were sum moned to the scene. The firemen were trying to extinguish the blaze and at the same time determine how many, if any, workmen had been trapped by falling stone. Those near the scene when the ex plosion occurred said large slabs of mar bio wero blown high into the air. Some thought the blast occurred near the boiler room in the southwest cor ner of the basement. - Flro was sweeping through the basement and lower floor of the structure and firemen said there was little hope for any men trapped by the debris.

It was that refer ence which gave his audience one of the definite clues to the direction his words were taking. . lenders- Weighing Effect Today the Democratic leaders were weighing the effect of this startling development on the party fortunes and upon the candidacy of Roosevelt who now is way beyond any rivals on the road to nomination, with 316 pledged and claimed delegates. Im mediate repercussions were awaited. Smith flung Into the meeting also a proposal for settling the war debts and stimulating American foreign trade by this government's offering the debtor nations to "forget" their obligations for 20 years, meanwhile reducing their total each year by 36 per cent of their purchases of Airier! - i can goods. Considerably elaborated, this plan received an uncertain re- 1 sponse, with much less applause than ' was volunteered many of his utter ances. Earlier the group had been startled bv the nroffer of a comDromise wet I plan from the dry state of Virginia. Former aovernor Harry Flood Byrd proposed immediate amendment of the constitution to make possible a direct referendum by the people, to be held thereafter at a date unmarked by political contests on the direct lssuo of continuing, abridging or re pealing the ,18th amendment. This, with smith's renewal of his urging for a states' rights plank, al lowing states to remain wet or dry as they chose, was one of the few references to prohibition In the party proceedings.

Adv. coming at the end of a day replete with rallies, speeches and campaign planning, heard also Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, former Gov ernor James M. Cox of Ohio, the tonstmaster, and John J. Raskob, the party's national chairman. Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, on the program for a speech, was not able to attend. The general tenor of the talks was an assault on the Republican administration, coupled with predictions of triumph for Democracy this election. Smith said: "Some Democrats say, 'give us a short convention;' others say 'nom inate ft candidate against whom noth ing can be said while there cannot be much said for him. The disposi tion to gloss over controversial ques tions In an attempt to please both sides of the argument will bring forth a meaningless document, a colorless candldato and a weakened party. Ex perience will win nothing for democ racy." A short convention is the particu lar objective of the Roosevelt forces, although many not definitely in his column Join In wishing at all costs to prevent the type of long deadlock which occurred In the 1924 Madison Square garden convention. Several speakers last night mentioned a long Democratic convention as a Repub lican hope and promised the opposi tion would not have its wish. For Clear-Cut Program Smith advocated a clear-cut plat form, which besides his war debt plan and liquor control project reiterated a demand for scientific tariff rates written by a non-partisan commis sion, and a thorough reorganization of the government machinery. He called for a short platform, criticizing the party for devoting space in the past to attacking the Republicans Instead of concisely and definitely offering constructive pro posals. Unemployment, he said, would have to be remedied gradually, for "there is no such thing as waving (lie magic wnna to an attack on demagoguery. "This is no time for demagogues. At a time like this when millions of men and women and children are starving throughout the land, there Is always the temptation of some men to Btlr up class prejudice, to stir up the bitterness of the rich against the poor, and the poor against tho rich. Against that effort I set myself uncompromisingly. "I protest against the endeavor to delude the poor people to their ruin by trying to make them believe that they can get employment before the people who would ordinarily employ them are also again restored to con ditions of normal prosperity." Upon this followed his declaration that he would fight. Smith pointing out he was making the one excep tion to his earlier declaration that while he would accept the nomina tion n tendered oy tne convention, ho would not, up to that time, be foe j or against any candidate. Senator Wheeler, Democrat. Mon-; tana, a supporter of Roosevelt, said i Smith's speech' was "unworthy of! him," and sounded like "the house i of Morgan speaking." 1 Senator Walsh. Democrat, Mossa- j chusetts, a Smith advocate, praised i the speech as a "frank and cour- : ageous statement of his views on the i political questions of the hour." Wheeler said that "as an ardent I supporter of Governor Smith in 1928, 1 I am sorry to hear him for his own ; sake utter such foolish statements 1 as he did last evening. "It only goes to prove again the tri.Uh of the old proverb: 'Who the ' gods would destroy, they first moke mad'." Wheeler said. Referring to Smith's proposal for a 20-year moratorium on foreign ' debts, he said: I "These foreign governments of course cant pay off their indebted ness with commodity prices as low as they are today, but I am much more interested in the little busi nessman, the farmer and debtors In this country than foreign debtors. uniess ine aouar can be cheap- ttons of debts not only in Europe but in this country. "Governor Smith didn't feel that those who advocated a greater pur chasing power an behalf of the far- mer In 1928 were demagogues " Walsh said he believed the public would welcome "the same frankness that characterized Governor Smith's speech," from all other political lead ers. Referring to Smith's debt state ment, Walsh said it would "provoke most favorable reaction." "He has presented In his debt sug gestion." Walsh said, "a view that lias not heretofore been emphasised."
