HEALY BROTHERS ' ARE EXONERATED IE IN FIRE A coroner's Jury Wednesday even P ing: decided that -Healy Bros, are not criminally liable for blocking fire escapes In the : building they and others occupied at Thirteenth and Hoyt streets, f The structure , was OF BEAM partially destroyed by fire Tuesday and caused, the death through suf focation of John Kampf, elderly cabinetmaker. "There is no doubt that the windows leading to the two fire escapes on the fourth floor were blocked by merchan dise," the jury report says, "and we be lieve the management should be cen sured for permitting this condition to ' exist." " j . - v. Of ' John Kampf. suffocated - in the smoke from the fire, the Jury report ays: - t : "His devotion to the Interests of his employers Was responsible for his death. - He no doubt was overcome when trying to reach the elevator to leave the place."

When the supports burned away, . this balcony fell, dropping its contents in front of the exist. Records of the fire marshal's office showed that all sugges . tions made -during prevlQs fire inspec tions bad been compiled with. The company is accepting orders and making normal deliveries and there will be no break in the continuity of their : business.

In addition the firm " has -three "cars of goods In the local ysrds and five on the way from the Kant. "I never saw Such an exhibition of friendship and didn't suppose such a thing ' existed," said Healy. - .

The body was found late In the afternoon bf a Mr. Rosenbaugh, an Insurance man, who had called at the house on business. i i ; Neighbors heard the shot but were not alarmed. Marx's two sons, Ralph and William, were at work at . the local paper mills at the time. The gun' Which Marx was using could not be placed in afety" or "half-cock," the hammer rest ing upon the firing pin. , : - The gun had been laid on a nearby wood pile, but it started to slip, the hammer was ! caught, causing the dis charge. The ! shot entered the side of Marx's . neck and severed the Jugular vein. .- i i . s Marx was 75 years of age and a na tive of Germany. He had lived in the United States 30 years. He - formerly resided at Parkplace, , but moved to Clackamas Heights a year ago. Cor onor Johnson, found an inquest - unnec essary. The body is at the Brady & De Moss chapel, and the funeral will be held Friday. - .- . .... E (Continued From Pass One) removed from the market and Standard distillate has not been sold in Oregon for .three months, according to Balsley. The. fact that -distillate manufacture re quires certain of the ingredients of gaso line is responsible for discontinuing its sale, inasmuch as to 'manufacture dis tillate would,) it is said, only aggravate the gasoline shortage. WASHIHGTdX GETS IT Delay in overthrowing, at least tem porarily, the ; Oregon gravity test law. has depleted : the possible 1,000,000 gal lon supply of boiling test gasoline that was held men tor Washington delivery by the Standard company. This supply had been held at Willbridge and, it was stated, this could be sold in Oregon if the penalties of the state law were re moved. Much of this has been deliv ered to Washington sub-stations, bow- ever. . .- ! "Oregon is the only state In the Union Insisting upon. Obedience to a gravity test law," Balsley stated today. "The only difference Oregon would discover in gravity test and boiling test gasoline would be that from boiling test supply motorists would get more miles to the gallon. ' - ;- - : MEANS SLIGHT REDUCTION 'Aside from that, the chief difference would be a reduction, for the present, of cents a gallon in the cost.. That figure represents a fraction of the added cost of production to conform to the Oregon requirement. To manufacture such gasoline as is sold here requires special processing, special workmen, spe cial pipelines and tanks and : special tankers. Gravity test gasoline must go higher in price to permit its sale at a normal profit." Instructions . from Standard Oil of fices have been especially impressed upon certain filling stations where: the original orders have been misinterpreted and salesmen have been filling pleasure car tanks to 20 per cent Of the "remain ing" capacity instead of to 20 per cent or the "total? capacity. All Standard stations now are selling only 0 per cent of the total capacity. . With the arrival Of the Standard tanker. El Segundo, the 20 per cent or der probably will not be lifted on grav ity test gas. but should the home office agree, as Balsley puts it. i "to ( take a chance on violating the law under the terms of Governor Olcott's agreement to suspend penalty," an approximately normal supply of boiling test gasoline would be delivered at Willbridge, a goon as it could be shipped. ' -.; TRUCKS SENT TO IDAHO FOR OASOXINE OF LOWER TEST Baker, May 13; Just as the last few gallons of gasoline in Baker were dis appearing. William A. DalzieL deputy state Inspector of weights and seals, ar rived Wednesday witn word -.that- the gasoline test requirement may be Ig nored and local dealers will be permitted to import the-zuel from Idaho. ;. ? , ; - Accordingly, trucks left in the after noon for Weiser, and with their return it . is expected that suffering from the shortage by essential industries wlB be temporarily relieved. There is now no gasoline - in Baker with the exception of small amounts remaining in a few private tanks. Appeals were sent to Governor Olcott by Cotmty Judge William Duby and State Senator W. H. Strayer for a sus pension of the law. -; Idaho is reported to be well supplied with gasoline, and the belief is preva lent here that the shortage in Oregon is a aenoerate attempt on tne part or oil companies to compel a repeal of the specific gravity regulations.

TJ. P.) "The nation now faces nothing less than the question whether It Is to help oppressed , peoples In other parts of the world to realize their ideals of Justice and of ordered peace," President Wilson said today in a message to the Southern Bap tist conference here. ' " - This was accepted as a reference to the peace treaty, although It. was not specifically mentioned. 'Wilson's message follows: . ''It is a matter of genuine and very deep regret on my part that I cannot personally greet the members Of the Southern Baptist convention now gath ered to hold the diamond anniversary of the convention in this city. It' is of special significance and timeliness that a- great Christian convention should be held in Washington, because the nation now faces nothing less than the question whether it Is to help Christian people in other parts of the world to realize their ideals of justice, and of ordered-peace. and I am sure that the nation will listen with the greatest deference to the utter ances of the convention." : NOT BOLT G. 0.

There are quite a few managing men back East Where the direct primary holds no, terrors for politicians and political - directors,' who do not like Senator Johnson. They would count him out, if the counting should be at all feasible, and past history has shown that the question of feasibility springs most directly from" the heart's desire. And, with Senator: Johnson hold ing his fiery bolt aloft, .the , counting aforesaid was one thing ffWlth it buried in the bitter ashes of Armageddon, it is quite another circumstance, j . . So the positive announcement 'of Sen ator Johnson; sent out for- Oregon con sumption though it may have been, holds portents of quite some political posalbilW ties. No matter-what may happen in Oregon on May 21, the nation will soon thereafter see whether, at Chicago, Hi ram will be in the lion's den or the lion's den will be in Hiram. ; NEBRASKA'S OFFICIAL COUNT GIVES JOHNSON 20,778 LEAD Lincoln. . .eb..

JOHNSON AS HE WILL HRETO RETURN F Developments in the shipyard in vestigation are looked for with the arrival in Portland sometime' today of. Ben L. Moore, special assistant to the attorney general in charge of shipyard prosecutions in the Northwest. ' United States Attorney Lester W. Humphreys said that Moore is cominw to "discuss" the shipyard situation, but it is believed the matter of again sum moning the grand jury which began the shipyard inquisition will be settled. It is known that the grand jury will be recalled early In June to begin con sidering the routine cases now pending, but a call for an earlier date is looked for. in connection with the shipyard work. :.. ' . ::..-.,-.';! .",':"'.; i. 1 . "v The federal prosecutor said this morn ing that the special agents Of the de partment of justice who have been working on the shipyard investigation for the last five weeks, are continuing their work as vigorously as possible, considering the fact that the Northwest Steel company and the Columbia River Shipbuilding corporation, the concerns under fire in the Oregon district, have refused the examiners access to their books and records and have appealed the contempt of court penalty resulting therefrom to the supreme court of the United States. i - Moore has nearly completed the work in Seattle prior to actually trying the cases now pending ; under indictment against shipyard operators and Emerg ency Fleet corporation officials- of the Puget Sound district, and is expected to establish quarters in Portland in the near future. , - . RINGLEADERS ARE FOR GOV. LOWDEN (Continued From Fm One) lng to . reduce the cost of living, for alienating labor by his policy in the coal injunction suits, and for his wholesale raids on so-called ; "reds." - The - last charge influences probably only the radi cal wing of the Democratic party, which in any event would not stick with the Wilson kind of Democracy no matter whether Palmer, McAdoo or any other beir of the Wilson policies was nom inated. , . COX ALSO CONTENDER This group still holds Wilson responsi ble for Postmaster General Burleson's repression of "liberal" periodicals and considers the treaty and league objec tionable aS not being liberal enough, not containing more of the doctrines of in ternationalism. , But on the. whole McAdoo, by keeping out of pub He office since the armistice, has seemed to Improve his chances with the rank and file of the Democrats, while Palmer has been under fire right along, rf'-'.-"-" - - Governor Cox of Ohio is a serious con tender, but just now McAdoo is in the lead.,.., ...,v U .! -A That is not an Individual opinion ; it is the concensus of opinion of the' Demo crats who are on the inside of things and who know what the leaders of the delegations are apt to do on the final count at San Francisco. , AFRAID OF SOLDIER r v' As for the Republican nomination, the strength of Governor Lowden grows. His pronouncements of the Leaguer of ' Na tions are satisfactory to the Lodge re's ervationists group and he brings, more over, an administrative record in - gov ernment affairs in Illinois as well as experience in congress as an asset to harmony with the legislative branch of the government.. Major General Wood has. a splendid organization and has surprised even his admirers here by the way he has moved forward. But if the truth be told the disinterested leaders are afraid, to name a soldier candidate. . The - way the fight on the bonus bill . has fluctuated . la, an indication of uncertainty here as -to what might happen to a soldier candidate, and the opposition to Universal military train ing, which killed that measure in the house of representatives, is another sign of the weakness of the soldier element ln-politics at the close of a big war.. THREE MEJf AHEAD. The situation is full of uncertainties. but today it looks like McAdoo for the Democratic nomination. Governor-Low den ' for the Republican, and Senator Johnson for the third party. ..With the chance of Herbert Hoover being the Re publican candidate still not an impos sible contingency, bis chances for the Democratic nomination are gone. He has read himself out of that party by - his attitude toward the California primaries. And he has failed to arouse Republican strength by his hesitancy to declare himself a Republican. HIS advisers have hurt Herbert 'Hoover's chances, but he is .probably at fault for listening to them. Lewden, McAdoo and Johnson are in the front rank today.
