Czemowitz, capital o f the Austrian

The rumor

miles to the northeast.
The Russian

From both

authorities, they are the only points in

Washington, D. C., June 10— Charles
Evans Hughes stepped down today
from the Supreme bench and, again a
; private citizen, accept«! the Republi-
I can nomination for President.
In a
telergam ringing with denunciation of
the administration’s foreign policy and
declaring for a dominating, thorough
going Americanism, he gave his decis
ion to Chairman Harding, o f the Re
publican Natoinal
convention, and
broke the long silence which had kept
the leaders o f his party in the dark as
to his attitude toward the great issues
of the day.
“ I have not desired the nomina
tion,” said the telegram.
“ I have
wished to remain on the bench. But
in this critical period o f our National
history, I recognize that it ia your
right to summon and it is my para
mount duty to respond.”
Within an hour after Chairman
Harding had notified him o f his nomi
nation Mr. Hughes had accepted the
call. His resignation, a scant two-
line letter without a superfluous word,
was on its way to the White House,
from the Hughes home before the
nominee had dispatched the message of
acceptance, and called the waiting
group o f newBpajier men into his study
to tell them o f his decision. President
Wilson accepted the resignation in a
reply almost as brief.
Apparently
Mr. Hughes’ letter was framed ho that
the President might be saved the em
barrassment o f expressing regret or
making more than a formal reply.
“ I hereby resign the office of asso
ciate justice o f the Supreme Court of
the United States,” he wrote.
To
which the President replied:
“ I am
in receipt o f your letter o f reaignation
and feel constrained to yield to your
desire. I therefore accept your resig
nation as jusitce o f the Supreme Court
of the United States, to take effect at
once.”
San Francisco
The steamer Hear,
o f the San Francisco &
Portland
Steamship company, southbound from
Portland, Or., for San Francisco with
lUO passengers and a crew of H2 men,
went ashore Wednesday night on
Sugar 1 .oaf. Cape Mendocino, and pas
sengers and crew were compelled to
take refuge in the ship's lifelioats.
The order to abandon ship was given
at midnight and all on board got away
safely. The steamer went ashore dur
ing a thick fug. but the sea was re
ported smooth and assistance was
making ail haste to the shipwrecked
passengers.
The battleship Oregon, bound from
Portland for San Kranrlaeo, picked up
the Bear’s wireless call for assistance
at 10:25 p. rn. and headed at once full
speed to the vessel's aid.
The life
saving station at Eureka, 15 miles
north of the scene o f the wreck, start
ed out a |mwer lifeboat at 10:30 and
at midnight the tug Relief left for the
scene of the wreck.
A radio meosage received aliout 1 a.
m. reported that Captain Nopander,
master o f the Hear, had ordered the
ship abandoned abuut midnight and
that all lafeboala had got safely away
| from the ship and were waiting in
i smooth water the arrival of the rescue
| taials, which, in addition to the battle
ship Oregon, the Eureka lifeboat and
j the tug Relief, included the steamer
¡Grace Dollar.
News o f the disaster was received
by the radio operator at the United
States naval training station here.
The life-savers left Eureka at 11:15 p.
m.
The sea was reported calm, but
there was a heavy fog. A number of
small boats were reported leaving the
Hear and it was believed the passen
gers were being transferred to the
Oregon.
From early and incomplete advices
indications were that Captain Nopan-
der did not contemplate making any
attempt to land his passenger» ashore
Eiecause of the uncertainty o f the
weather and the blanket o f fog which
| shut out the sight of land.
Incendiary Charged With Burning
German Daily Newspaper Plant
Portland Fire gutted the two upper
stories o f the building occupied by the
German Publiahing company and the
Chicago Furniture company, at First
and Salmon streets at 6 o ’clock Wed
nesday night, entailing a loss o f ap
proximately $40,000.
A. E. Kern,
publisher of the Deutsche Zeitung,
with offices in the building, said he
suspected incendiarism.
The German Publishing company
was the heaviest loser, almost the en
tire stock and machinery for publish
ing the daily German pa|ier being de
stroyed. The loss to this firm is esti
mated at $20.000, 90 |ier cent insured.
Mr. Kern liases his theories o f in
cendiarism on the fact that not more
than a week ago a small Are was dis
covered on the top floor at practically
the same time in the evening as the
one started Wednesady.
“ It is very easy for anyone to gain
access to the top floor,” said Mr.
Kern, “ as no one is on that floor after
3 :30 in the afternoon.
“ We had a small fire that one of the
employes o f the paper put out not
more than a week ago,” he continued.
“ It was in a pile o f papers that
were loose on the floor. I do not
think it possible that spontaneous com
bustion could have been the cause o f
either. The fire a week ago was dis
covered by accident.
A fter *that
small blaze I had the place cleaned up
to prevent a repetition.
I think the
fire was the work of an incendiary.”

Washington, I). C.— Secretary Lan
sing has asked congress for $75,000
for sfiecial allowances to diplomatic
officers in foreign capitals, re|iorting
that the cost o f living had increased
200
per cent over normal times.
“ Most of the diplomatic officers at
these capitals” said Secretary Lansing,
“ are able to live at present only by
drawing substantially on their private
means and in many instances where
secretaries o f embassies or legations
have no private means their continu
ance at these |iosts will be impossible.”
Seattle— One man lost his life in a
fire which destroyed the wharf at the
Standard Oil company»’ storage plant
at Richmond Reach, 15 miles north o f
Seattle, Tuesday, causing a loss esti
mated at $50,000. The fire was caused
by the explosion of an oil drum on the
wharf, and quickly enveloped the struc
ture, on which was stored 1000 drums
o f oil. Three men who were working
on the wharf were forced to jump into
the water when the flames swept over
the pier. James Farmer, one of the
workmen, was drowned.
Washington, D. C. — John R. Mc

ness. Mr. Mrl,can, who was in his
