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."
Will A. Healy, head of the company,
explained today that the furniture which
was found blocking the fire escape had
been stored on a balcony oyer the win
dows. 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. This is due to the coopera
t tlon of furniture manufacturers and
Jobbers of Portland, who have offered
Healy Bros, the privilege of filling bills
" from their stocks. 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. - .
Building owners who allow their fire
escapes to become blocked will be
brought into court without further warn
ing from the fire department. Fire Mar-
I hal Kdward Grenfell today said.
1 All fire department Inspectors were
authorized by Qrenfell to investigate all
- buildings in their : districts to see that
ji exits and fire escapes are free from
obstacles.

Not soon. will Portlanders forget, his
oulzzical auery for name of the walled

By such means the pioneer in Oriental
trade showed what It means to get the
trade of awakening China, where to sell
but 26 cents more per capita would add
1100,000,000 to the trade.
As a result of an inadvertent blunder
on the part of James A. Farrell, presi

big steel man and his party may pay
Portland an f "apology visit." A cluster
of choice Portland roses was on the
speaker's table when the convention be

he was' humiliated to find he had dealt
In such cavalier fashion with the "queen

a defective shotgun. The body was

Mr. Rosenbaugh, an Insurance man,
who had called at the house on

Neighbors heard the shot but were not

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.

IDEALS ARE FACED.
DECLARES WILSON
Washington. May 13. 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." :

self into the lion's den. 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

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.
