NEW HIGH LEVELS
 IN VARIOUS LINES
Continued Advance of Stocks Without
 Special Reason.

New York, July 15.-Therc were no striking new developments to account for a further advance in the prices of stocks today. Commission houses re- ported some moderate scattering in crease of orders from miscellaneous sources, but the transactions remain ed largely in professional hands In steel, there was some manifest selling to realize, part coming from foreign quarters. This was absorbed and the stock continued up to the new high price for the year. These stocks con stituted an effective leadership for the whole market. Amalgamated Copper also went to the highest prices of the year. However, Union Pacific, allow
 ing for the dividend reduction, and Northern Pacific, Atchison and Canad- ian Pacific were at the years best prices today. Bonds were irregular.

BURNING OIL FIERY DEUCE
Loss of Life and Property
 In Santa Maria Field
Rivers of Destructive Flame Swept Over the Adjacent Country.

Santa Barbara, Cal, July 1.-Two men are dead and property valued at $100,000 was lost as the result of a fire in the Santa Maria oil fields at Orcutt, the principal pumping and shipping station of the Union Oil com pany of the Standard Oil company. The fire is still raging but it is be- lieved this evening that the town can be saved from the flames. Four huge tanks, holding 35,000 barrels each have been consumed.
 In the explosion of one tank, two workmen employed in fighting the fire to keep it off the pumping station were overwhelmed with boiling, burning oil One was instantly killed and his body was consumed by the flames. The other was dragged out, but crazed with pain and blinded, he broke from his rescuers and rushed madly back into the burning oil. The dead are. L. L.. Stevens and Frank Curtis, both en- ployed by the Union company
 The Fire started at midnight last night from crossed electric wires that ignited a shack near the tank Soon the oil was boiling over and one eX- plosion followed close upon another. The tank parted at the seams. throw ing the scalding oil many yards about For five hours the fire fighters kept the flames confined to the first tank but soon the burning oil began flow ing over the other tanks uiNil four were on fire.
 The river of oil spread to the pump ing plant which has been damaged to the extent of $20,000. A tank car of the Pacific coast railroad caught fire and the flames spread along the track the ground being saturated with oil until the ties and bridges were all burned out, and the rails warped and broken by intense heat. Soon the boiling oil entered the pipe lines and underground explosions followed. Many thousand barrels of the oil in the pipes were destroyed. Embank- ments - now being thrown up to prevent a further spread.
 The fire will seriously interfere with shipments of oil from the Santa Maria field as it is estimated that it will take three months to reapir the damage to the pipe lines and pumping station.

zell of Finland tied for second with
 70.S3 points. Potts of England cap-
 tured the fourth heat, the score be-
 ing S2.5, while Nicolai of Germany was second with 65.1. The tank was occupied for another hour by the contestants in the 200-meter breast stroke swim, seven heats being de- cided. A. N. Goessling of the Mis- souri A. C., the only American en- tered, took third place in the second heat and therefore did not qualify.
 It is learned tonight that Eisele, who made such a plucky fight for America in team race, lost the nail off of one of his toes yesterday and was suffering greatly when he went to the scratch today but he never rinched and not until he reached his dressing room after the contest
 did he complain of pain.

The Hanging of the Murderer of Father
 Leo HeinriChS
The Italian Died Uttering MaediciOns Upon the RO- .man Priesthood and Upon His Victim Whom He Had Followed Across the World

Canon City, Colo- July 15.-Calling down the maledictions of the most high upon the Roman Priesthood and shouting in Italian, Long live Italy; | long live the protestants," Giuseppe Alia, the murderer of Father Leo | Heinrichs, was carried to the death trap at exactly S:3O o'clock tonight. and paid the extreme penalty of his crime.
 Per1aps a more sensational and thrilling scene was never beheld by any of the sixteen persons present, than the execution of this misguided Italian murderer, whose cries and screams were only hushed by the automatic springing of the mechan- ism which forever silenced the tongue that cried for vengeance against those whom Alia considered the de- stroyers of his home and happiness.
 At o'clock this afternoon Warden CleghOrn of the state prison. through the interpreter, Antonio Sasso, a prison guard, read the death warrant to Aia. Contrary to expectations, the prisoner exhibited no emotion, not even moving a muscle. When the reading was finished he said: All right; I am ready to die now"
 At o'clock supper was served the prisoner, it being the regular meal of the officers of the prison. Before eating he divided it into five DOT tions, saying one was for his wife, one for himself and one each for his three children. He then ate with apparent cOmposure and relish.
 At o'clock Guard SassO came to him with the information that within one hour the execution would take place. Alia again assented and said he was ready at any time. He further said he felt no sorrow what ever for having killed Father Leo. He was certain Father Leo was the man that he had been searching for for many months and claimed that he recognized the priest as his tor mentor by a scar on the side of his face. Alia said he had worked for Father Leo in Portugal and was sure he had killed the right man. Alia said he did not believe there was a God. for if so. he would not have been permitted to be in his present predicament He said he found no fault with the law, but that the priest did wrong in breaking up his family.
 Shortly before S:3O o'clock every thing being in readiness the warden's assistants approached Alias cell and led the condemned man to the eXecu- ton house where the black cap and moose were adjusted by a deputy warden. During the procedure Alia became frantic and rent the air with

Justo is a Phoenix colt, the prop erty of Mrs. J. c. Adams. A year ago last fall she accompanied MT. I Adams. who went to Kentucky to ! look at another horse, and Mrs. Adams seeing this one at Paris, de- brought to Phoenix, put into training on the Adams farm and was chris tened Justo, Spanish for just right" He is of royal blood. the son of Jay Bird, the greatest of sires and the father of Allerton, the great trotter. Justo's dam was Eastmore by Baron Wilkes. A sister, Alcesta, broke the record at Peoria, H., last week in 2:O91a.
 Like most Kentucky foals, Justo is futurity colt His dam was en- tered in races to be trotted this year for stakes or purses aggregating more than $1OO,OOO. He is in fact in all of the prominent futurities for three -year-olds this year.
 Among them are the Kentucky Futurity for $14.0O0, which will start on Oct. l. Others are: The Horse Review Futurity, $12.000; the Horse Breeders Futurity. $10.OOO; the Ken tucky Stock Farm Futurity, $10,000. The Horse Review Futurity will be trotted at Columbus, O., in Septem- Der. The total purse is $20,OOO. of which the winner will earn $14,OOO.
 Justo has a record of 2:14lA and it is expected that before the close of. the season he will reduce 1t to ':1O or better. The last half of his 2:141A mile was trotted in 1:05A and last week he made a quarter in :31A, or at the rate of 2:05. This colt has never broken but twice and in all respects he has the manner isms of the old campaigner.
 The race at Terre Haute yesterday was the first three year-old trot on any of the fast circuits for the sea son. One was scheduled at Peoria last week but had to be cancelled on account of the weather Justo will start in Indianapolis in the lat ter part of August and no more until in September at Columbus, where he will start in the Horse Review Flu turity and in one other race.

A Silver Medal Standing for Second Place In the Three Mile Team Race all This Country Has to Show for the Days Work.

when they realized that they had no chance of beating Lemming and other cracks at this form of sport.
 While the throwing was going on, the bicycle track was taken by the
 competitors in the 100 kilometers cycle race which brought out a big field. Cameron, the American who was entered, decided not to start, reserving himself for the shorter races. This contest resolved itself into a procession which lasted all the morning. Hansen of Sweden was the first in this heat, and EutZ of France second. Six others qualified for the finals which will be run off on Sat urday.
 The closest finish of the day was in the first heat of the semi finals in the 400 meter swimming event, O. Scheff of Austria winning by the smallest fraction from H. Taylor of England. The second heat in the semf-finals was also a splen- did contest. Beaurepaire of Australia having all he could do to keep ahead of Foster of England. These four, Scheff, Taylor, Beaurepaire and Eos ter qualified for the final, which will be one of the big events tomorrow.

Great Britain was a double winner and France and Sweden each secured one America had to be satisfied with but one silver medal, symbolic of the second place in the three mile team race, but the American representa- ton in the various events was small. There were four events scheduled for today. Of these England won the eco yard cycling race and the three mile team race, thus bringing the number of gold medals accred- ited to Great Britain up to date. to four, compared with two standing to the credit of the United States.

ANGLO-RUSSIAN PLANS
 MACEDONIAN REFORMS
An intimation That They Will Not Ul- timately Be Approved by Germany.

Berlin. July 15.-The Suddeutsch Reichs Correspondent, the usual ve-
 hicle for CancellOr vOn BuelOW's semi official declarations, says today that Germany must await the receipt of the
 Russian note regarding Macedonia be- fore taking under consideration the proposals for reforms in Macedonia made by Great Britain. This is because the question of the constabulary is closely tied up with the matter of fi- nancial administration. British-Rus- sian suggestions will rest on a firmer broader basis after they have been submitted and adjusted to the views of Austria Hungary. Germany will discuss the subject with statesmen of Austria Hungary and Italy. As in the past, Germany's attitude will be mostly that of an observer. Germany herself has problems in Macedonia and for this reason never has been the first to propose a course of action.
 General Nikyforoff, the Bulgarian diplomatic agent at Berlin affirmed to- day that it is not necessary for the porte to ask the great powers to ex- ercise pressure upon the Sofia govern ment to put a stop to the raiding bands as the relations today between ConstantinOple and Sofia are excel lent. Furthermore. he said. the Bull garian government is observing a most loyal attitude. The reason for the dis orders in Macedonia. he said. was the miserable administration of Fur key. It is generally feared that the Russian scheme for reforms when ex- amined will prove to be nothing more than a palliative without a fundamen- tai value.

wells and curses against the priest hood, shouting, Long live Italy; long live the protestants"
 Alia was placed upon the trap and Chaplain Blake of the prison uttered a short prayer. The dropping water of the automatic mechanism released a great weight and exactly at S:3O the body was jerked into the air. Unfortunately the neck was not broken, owing to the slipping of rope, and he died of strangulation. After nineteen minutes, Alias body was cut down and he was pronounc- ed dead.
