SHASTA'S TOP COLLAPSES Crater of Mountain Dunsmuir, Cal., Sept. 19.—Ap proximately fifteen square miles of the southeastern section of the top of Mount Shasta caved in Thursday, causing the collapse of Mud creek canyon, which has recently been overflowing with mud and rock, The walls of the canyon for a dis- tance of eight miles crumbled with a terrific roar which was immedi ately followed by a great cloud of dust and' volcanic ash that hung over the mountain for several hours. As the dust clottd appeared to rise from the crater left by the cave-in, persons living at McCloud. Weed and Mount Shasta and other places at vthe mountain base reached the conclusion that the ancient peak had burst into eruption. Grave fears were entertained at McCloud that the mud flow, wttlch bas recently been quiescent, will be renewed with dangerous effects. The fallen walls of the Mud Creek can- von are damming up a huge reser- voir of water which, when released, may cause an inundation of all the' land at the southeastern base of the mountain, it was reported.

Ohio, Sept. 19.—(A. P.)—Senator Wheeler was I termed a '^common liar" by former • Attorney General Daugherty, in a statement today after an address here 1 last night by Wheeler. Wheeler In his address inveighed against the "Ohio crowd’.’, specific ally mentioning persons and inci dents. Those signs placed by the state highway department to warn auto drivers that they had reached the “end of pavement" as they approach ed Grants Pass from the north will soon be consigned to the Junk pile, Work of preparing the half-mile stretch on Orchard avenue, the northern extension of Sixth street, will commence tomorrow morning, and will l»e crowded through to the earliest possible completion. The city council at its session last night selected Wm. Schroeder 'as superin tendent of the job, and he com- menced this morning to assemble materials and machinery for the work. This pavement, which will con- nect up the paving of the Pacific highway in Josephine county, will be of standard concrete, with 18-foot roadway. It will meet the standard as laid by the state department, and Engineer Bromley, resident engineer in charge of the state highway work, will supply the needed engineering, thus assuring that it will In every particular meet the requirements land standards of the state eommts- I sfon. Mr. Schroeder will start the scari fier at work Saturday morning pre- . paring the l>ase for the concrete. He | states that the work can proceed with but little inconvenience to the public. The council received bids last » night for the supplying of the ce ■ ment to be used in the pavement, two local firms. C. F. Nutting and the Three C"s Co.. submitting iden tical propositions. As there was no i choice, the council ordered that half i of the cement be purchased front each. hand, the water from the melting snows will accumulate for several days before overflowing and break ing down the barrier. According to Karl L. Rfger. of Mc Cloud. who witnessed the break-in of the mountain today from differ ent angles, the cloud of dust, smoke and ash that hung over the mountain could be seen 25 miles. It attracted the attention of thous ands, the majority of whom had no idea of what was actually occurring. Seattle, Selt. 19.—(A.

P. )—The entire gasoline trade in America, and even in some foreign countries, is involved in evidence be i ing produced in the gasoline price hearings conducted hero by Attorney General Jesse AV. Barrett of Mis souri, in the opinion of well inform ed authorities. , Contracts brought forward at the hearing between the Standard Oil company of Indiana and nearly all the other important companies of the Vuited States, and applying to their foreign trade, are pronounced a violation of the anti-trust laws both by United States Attorney Gen eral Stone and Attorney General Barrett. Some weeks ago the United States department of justice filed a suit against 48 oil companies doing inter state business, charging that by a system of licenses on “cracking pro cess” patents, the gasoline trade of the United States was being restrict ed and monopolized, and asking that the defendants be enjoined from a continuance of the contracts and their effects. The contracts, the ex istence of which was alleged by the government, were produced at the Missouri hearing by the Standard Oil company and admitted to be in effect at the present time. A form of engagement which was particularly denounced by Attorney General Barrett is Illustrated by the contract between the Standard Oil company of Indiana and the Stand ard Oil company of California. This recites that the Texas company is owner of certain cracking patents; that the Texas company authorizes the Standard Oil company of Indi ana to grant licenses under the Tex as patents; that the Standard of In diana thereby licenses the Standard of California under the Texas com pany’s patents on the condition that tile Standard of California sells none of the gasoline so produced In Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. Kansas, Min nesota. Michigan. Wisconsin, Mis souri. North Dakota. South Dakota, Nebraska. Montana. Wyoming, Colo rado or Oklahoma or In the Domin ion ot Canada or the colony of New foundland. This, Attorney General Barrett as serts. ts a plain restraint ot trade and not Justified by any rights granted under letters patent.
