The Oregon delegation and'tlie na

prominent part back at Chicago and led
the grand march on the third ballot
when the favorite sons faded away into
the Hughes column. This fact, according
to political prophecy and precedent. Is
supposed to furnish them the master

concerned, should Hughes be elected
and. have that patronage to dispense

Fire Fed by Distillate Tanks
Seattle, Wash.. June 13. One life
was lost and $50,000 worth of prop
erty destroyed late Monday atfernoon
when the dock -of the Standard Oil
company at Richmond Beach was re
duced to smoldering ruins by a spec
tacular fire. None of the big oil
tanks was Ignited, but the flames
were accompanied by a number of
explosion!..
Claude Farmer of Edmonds, who
leaped f rpm the dock into the bay
with his clothing aflame, was
drowned. John' Martlnus and Hiram
Crawford, who also Jumped from the
burning dock Into the water to escape
the flames, were rescued after cling
ing to piles for half an hour.
Pirs Starts Prom Unknowa Cause. .
The fire started from an unknown
cause in a drum of distillate which
the men were filling. It quickly
spread to the entire dock, on which
were 250 drums filled with the liquid.
The containers, which had a capacity
of 100 gallons each, blew up as the
fire reached them. Some of them were
blown -'00 feet Into the air. The bay
near the dock was covered with tanks,
which held together enough to float,
and with debris from the dock.
Thirty-three tanls oh shore, filled
with 500,000 barrels of distillate and
other oils, were unscathed, although
burning brands from the dock fell
among them. The 200 employes of the
company organized to fight the flames
and set at work all of the fire protec
tion apparatus at the plant.
Seattle Tire Tug Arrives.
The fire tug Duwamlsh arrived from
Seattle at 6 o'clock, tied up at the dock
and put out the remaining flames.
The fire started at 4:35 o'clock.

filling a arum when the explosion oc
curred and his clothing caught fire.
His two companion attempted to beat
out the flames on Farmer with their
hats, they say, but he would not stand
st'll. He ran to the edge of the dock
and jumped Into the water. He leaves

Asked Few Questions
ZaltlatlTs Measure EaemptJaf Mann
t acturer from Tax Assessments at
Expense of Parmer, Opposed.
Portland. June 13. To the Editor
of The Journal In last evening's
Journal appears a news item to the
effect that the East Side Business
Men's club meets tonight. That among
other things to be considered is an
initiative measure exempting from
taxation the following: "All machin

poses; all manufactured goods in-pos
session of the manufacturer; all goods
and materials in course of manufac
ture; all raw 'materials to be used in
manufacturing in Oregon."
" Assuming this report to be correct.
the undersigned desires, through The
Journal, to ask the members of the
club a few questions:
Wherein is the machinery of a man
ufacturer, housed in a building, yo
more value to the state than the ma
chlnery of the farmer, used in the
fieldT The manufacturer receives the
best social service the state has to
give, and the fanner the poorest.
Why should it De aesiraDie to ex
empt the manufacturer from taxation
on his raw materials, out of which he
expects to make a profit, and tax his
workmen each year for possessing
homes?
Tell us where it would be fair to
exempt the manufacturers finished
product while in his hands, and put
the tax on it as soon as it goes on the
shelves of the merchant?
Finally, show us where the people s
land and loan measure ror wnicn
petitions are now being circulated)
will not do all the things your meas
ure proposes to do?
And will not the land and ; loan
measure result in increased produc
tion of raw materials' and a market

ULSIER COUNCIL NOW,
WILLING TO YIELD TO
HOME RULE FOR TIME
Feeling Expressed Sacrifice
Should Be Made for Good
of the Empire.
Belfast, June 1J. (I. TS-. S.) The
Ulster unionist council has discussed
David Lloyd-George's proposals for the
settlement of the Irish question.
Delegates from Cauntles Cavan, Mon
aghan and Donogal have protested
against the reVlval of the home rule
controversy in the absence of many
signers of the Ulster covenant In the
war.
They protested against any settle
ment excluding their counties from Ul
ster, but, if the six counties considered
the safety of the empire depended on
the continuance of negotiations on the
proposed basis, the responsibility must
be theirs and the three counties must
abide by their decision.
The council ultimately adopted a
resolution reslTflrnilng its abhorrence
of home rule and declining Responsi
bility for establishing It in any part
of Ireland, declaring, however, that as
he cabinet opened proposals to tend to
strengthen the empire and help win th
war the council felt that it was its
duty to make sacrifices and conse
quently authorized Sir-Edward Ctyson
to continue negotiations on the pro
J 1
on
i
posed basis and to completathera If
.the details satisfied him.
The council pledged Itself in the
event that settlement 1s mad on the
basis of the exclusion of six counties.
that they would do the utmost In the
future to protect unionists in the ex
cluded three counties against the In
justice and oppression of the Irish par
liament, while if the negotiations prove
abortive, they wllil reserve complete
freedom of action.
Sir Edward Carson,- in a subsequent
speech, said that this, on the whole,
was the saddest visit he had ever paid
to Ulctert because, although they had
attained something, they had not real
ised all they were fighting for. But
the exigencies of the empire were par
amount. hv said, and he would continue
negotiations to' the' -end and procure
the best terms he could for Ulster,
which he declared "this day played a
noble part."

a new Victor Record
A new Victor Record by Melba is a new chapter in the
musical history of the world. h
"Sweet as the voice of Nellie Melba" is a musical proverb.
The capture of her matchlessly pure notes in a fresh flow of
beauty is an event of genuine importance to those who cherish
genius.
"Songs My Mother Taught Me," an exquisite gypsy lyric
by the Bohemian Dvorak, is worthy a place among the "Melba
classics" to be found only on Victor Records.
In this cameo of a song Melba's art shines in all its crystal
purity and tenderness and freshness. It is a song which every
true appreciator of beauty will surely wish to add to his library
of Victor Records.

Melba sings onlv for the Victor. She is one of a mighty
company. Practically every great artist and entertainer of this
generation has like Melba, chosen the Victor as the only
instrument capable of reproducing his or her art with unswerv
