I At idem Wilson reposes the fullest

HUtory Rrpeala Itself.
As In the Roosevelt and the Taft

for ordering, at the request of Secre

McReynolds followed the amiable law

Transparent gowns for Oakland school

beautiful on the boulevards of Paris,

Rev. Father Joseph P. McQualde has
withdrawn from the position of spe-
sial commissioner of Catholic activities

PARIS Aug. 31. Aviation Is to be

capital mistake was made In regarding
aeroplanes and dirigibles merely as
useful for scouting when in reality
they should be one of the most effec
tive of the offensive and defensive
forces of the republic '
The ministry of war has worked out
a plan to reorganize the aeronautical

BT LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW TORK, Aug. 31. (Special.)
The statement is made that Edward E.
McCall, Tammany nominee for Mayor,
was "groomed for months" for the
nomination.
The fact of the matter is that McCall
was an eleventh hour choice, named
because Leader Charles F. Murphy re
ceived assurances that his selection
would Insure a good-sized campaign
fund from certain interests.
Strange as It may seem. Murphy was
at first Inclined to give Mayor Gaynor
a renomlnatlon. In fact, certain of
the Mayor's friends declare that half
way assurances to that effect came
from Tammany Hall. The district lead
ers remonstrated strongly, and Murphy
finally agreed with them. The most
vehement objections came from Brook
lyn, Gaynor's home borough. Leader
McCooey declaring that his organiza
tion had been entirely overlooked by
the Mavor and that he could not be
any worse off with a Republican In
the City HalU
Sadden Switch Made.
Whpn Murnhv decided to eliminate
Gaynor, he told the members of his
kitchen cabinet that Supreme Court
Justice Dowllng was the man. This
was satisfactory to all concerned, for
Dowllng was a member of the inner
organization, and despite that stood
well with the public at large, lentil
the day before the convention met.
Dowllng was the nominee, and then
there was an eleventh-hour change.
The fact was that the leaders were
so busy arranging the slate that they
forgot to consult the man they nad
selected as standard-bearer. Dowllng
was out of town on his vacation, and
when he heard Indirectly what was
afoot he hurried back to the city and
nnnltivelv declined 'to run. He an
nounced that he was thoroughly happy
on the bench, and would not give up
his judgeship If all parties nominated
him for Mayor.

OIL FIRE RAGES FIERCELY
Boiling Water In Tank Throws Blaze
Hundreds of Feet.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31. (Special.)
Xhe Associated OH companies
55,000-barrel tank, fired by lightning
yesterday at Coalinga, is still burning
fiercely. The water in the bottom of
the tank boiled today, throwing the
blazing oil hundreds of feet. Half of
the width of the tank has collapsed. Oil
thrown against the derricks of two ad
Joining wells is burning them to the
ground. The blazing oil surrounded
another 65,000-barrel tank, but steam
turned into the top of the tank saved
it from destruction. Fire among the
surrounding tanks was put out with
hand extinguishers and earth.
The veering of the wind probably
will save adjacent property.
E. T. Morris, general manager of the
Pipe Line Company, arrived today to
direct the work of fighting the flames.
The damage is now estimated as fol
lows: Oil,' $25,000; tank, 813,000; der
ricks, $7000.

SALEM, Or., Aug. 31. (Special.)
Declaring that they would not be par
ties to a "persecution" of the Des
chutes Land Company, and would do
everything in their power, to get the
Federal Government to extend the con
tract with the state for two years.
Treasurer Kay, Attorney-General Craw
inrj an a stat Enelneer Lewis today
issued a signed statement explaining
their position as members of the Desert
Land Board in the controversy with
Governor West.
They insist that J. E. Morson, presi
dent of the company, has been treated
unjustly and should be allowed to com
plete the irrigation work. It is point
ed out there is no reason for the stand
taken by the Governor to prevent an
extension, unless Mr. West wishes to
carry out a threat said to have been
made to Morson, that the Governor
will have his way or bankrupt the
concern. Messrs. Kay, Crawford and
Lewis believe, if the Governor con
tinues his present policy, he will so
hamper the company It will be forced
to the wall, which, they say, will be a
great hardship to the settlers who have
invested money.
Kay Taken West to Task.
Treasurer Kay takes the Governor to
task for declaring "that he and Engi
neer Lewis wrote the statement in
tended for the Interior Department,
which the Governor "borrowed" and de
clared libelous. It was written by
Assistant Secretary Van Winkle.
Secretary of State Olcott, who, with
the three other members of the Board,
at a meeting which was not attended
by the Governor, voted to extend the
contract, was out of the city today, and
has not seen the statement issued by
Messrs. Kay, Crawford and Lewis.
It is not believed the Governor will
recede from his position.
Weat-Moraon Row Reviewed.
The statement in part follows:
"In the Summer of 1911 the Board
made a visit to this district and found
three large steam shovels In operation

with many men and teams besides, and

PACIFIC IS LET IN
TO PANAMA CANAL
LAST BARRIER REMOVED BY
GIGANTIC BLAST.
Waters Pour In and for First Time
Lap Masonry of Miraflores Locks.
Navigation Time Is Near.
PANAMA, Aug. 31. The last remain
ing barrier at the Pacific end of the
Panama Canal was blown up by dyna
mite this morning. At 9:30 o'clock an
electric switch was turned on and hun
dreds of tons of mud and stones were
thrown high in the air as the thun
derous roar of the explosion re-echoed
in the nearby hills.
About 20 long tons, equivalent to
44,800 pounds of 45 per cent dynamite,
constituted the blast, which was one
of the largest ever set o:Z in the canal.
The charge, which was planted in
541 holes at an average depth of 30
feet, tore a big gap in the barrier, but
not to a sufficient depth to permit
water to flow through, as the tide was
low.
Equally interesting as the explosion
was the actual breaking of the bar
rier this afternoon, the tide creeping
steadily up until at 1:35 o'clock it was
level with the top of the gap.
A workman seized a shovel and made
a small trench through which a rill
of water trickled. Gradually it wid
ened until an hour later a raging tor
rent, with a 35-foot fall, poured
through an opening 400 feet wide into
that part of the canal between Gamboa
dike and the Miraflores locks, which
previously had been excavated by
steam shovels.
This cut, which is 5000 fept long, 500
feet wide and 41 feet deep below mean
sea level, was entirely filled i- 3
o'clock when the waters of the Pacific
laved for the first time the solid
masonry of the Miraflores dam.
The last vestiges of the barrier will
be removed soon, establishing a prac
tically completed channel at the Pa
cific end. The dredge will begin on
September 2 to remove the last barrier
of the Atlantic channel. When this
work is accomplished ships may nav
igate to the looks from both ends. ,

United States consular agent, George
C. Carothers, when the latter protested
against the recent execution of six
Americans in that city, , according to
declarations of three Americans who

yesterday. ' " '
"Your Government does not recog

Is reported to have declared, "and I
shall not recognize you."
According to the refugees, the six
Americans reported executed were
charged with having been "with the
constitutionalist troops." At constitu
tionalists headquarters however, it Is
said that all foreigners who enlist in
the revolutionary army are required to
become Mexican citizens and so far as
is known William Campbell of Ark
