jured, on board the armored cruiser
Tennessee at sea at IL o'clock today,
when a boiler tube broke, hurting frag-
ments Of iron about the engine room,
and filling it with scalding steam.
The accident happened an hour af-
ter the cruiser left Santa Barbara,

The cruiser was Steaming at full
speed when the explosion occurred.
According to the wireless dispatches
no officers were injured. The damage
TO the ship is not known at this time.
but it is likely the boiler rooms suf-
fered seriously. Several cruisers ar
rived at Long Beach ahead of the
Tennessee, and it is evident the ship
had been considerably disabled.
The Tennessee is Admiral Sebroe' 5
flagship, commanding the second di-
vision OF the Pacific feet.
The Tennessee arrived, and an
chorea inside the breallwater about
two miles off the water front, shortly
after Z o'clock. The seamen will not
be landed until tomorrow, when they
will he taken to the marine hospital

Of the Presbyterian church. The rou-

somewhat by a preliminary state
ment of the adherents of Denver and
Seattle for next years assembly.
The excitement was all in the pre-
liminaries, however, as the assembly
voted almost unanimously for Denver

the vote was made unanimous.
An overture from the German-speak-

embodied in the report of the commit

Importance in the proceedings today
The general assembly considered the
question of jurisdiction and decided it
would be bad precedent to act in
dependently of the synods affected.
While approving the establishment of
new presbyteries, the assembly decid-

the next assembly, so the local sy-

CedrinO, Record Breaking Au-
tOIst, Has Brains Dashed
Out n Race
He Vas EndpdVOrlng to
Make a Mile In so
Seconds
|HOrrified Spectators Sec
| His Gar Turn Turtle
in Mad Race

Baltimore, Md. May 29.-Emanuel
Cedrino, an auto driver, was Instantly
killed on the Pimlico race track this
evening. He had been preparing for
races in which he was to have taken
part tomorrow and was making some
very fast miles. One had just been
finished in 81 seconds and he had pass
ed the grand stand and rounded the
first corner of the track, when the
spectators saw his car shoot into the
air and turn a somersault, landing on
the track upside down.
Those who rushed to the spot found
Cedrino stretched upon his back, dead,
with a horrible cash in the back of
his head and portions of his brains
scattered about. He was some dis
tance from the car, from which he
had apparently been thrown as it
went over. and it is supposed that his
head struck the fence. The accident
appears to have been caused by the
col1arse OF front wheel on the right
hand side Of the car
When he brought out his car for his
final work for the day, Cedrino said
that he would like to make mile in
SO seconds. He had made three of four
circuits of the track, each faster than
the preceding one, and at the time OF
the accident was possibly going at a
50-second rate.
The car was the one in which he
made all his records and was designed
| by Cedrino himself in 1906. He stat
ed recently that it had been run 10000
miles without material repairs, and it
showed that the wheel that failed had
suffered more by this use than was
apparent. It is known that the en-
ginegwas in perfect condition.

Sues Out Writ Of CertiOfafi
in District Court Against
BlaisdelI
OIL Company Alleges UnCOn-
stitutiOnality Of kOffel
Antitrust Law
Case Will Probably Reach u.
S. Supreme Court Be-
fore Ending

The fact that the Standard Oil Co. |
is considerably agitated because of the
hearing that has been called before |
Secretary Of State Blaisdell for June
/ is substantiated from the course
which the Standard has taken.
The hearing before the secretary
requiring the Standard Oil Co. to ap.
pear before him at his office. at the
capitol was called on complaint
based on a statement OF facts that the |
Standard Oil Co. had Disseminated
among its patrons throughout the
state, In direct violation of the anti
trust law now on our statutes.
In this last move the Standard Oil
Co. Friday served writ of csrtiorari
upon Secretary Blaisdell ordering hin.
to show cause in the district court be
fore Judge Winchester Of this judi
cia1 district. The secretary of state is
ordered to appear in court June / an
hour before the hearing called by the
secretary It Is evident that the oil
company has adopted this course for
the purpose of removing the case from
the secretary direct to the court.
The writ of certiorari is based on
the affidavit Of Vice President Cowan
Of the oil company, and the showing
is made by the law firm Of Ball; Wat.
son, Young & Hardy Of Fargo.
In this court action the Standard
Oil Co. will attack the constitution.
ality Of Senator Koffeps antitrust law,
and will also question the jurisdiction
of the secretary of state in this mat
ter. They will also claim in court that
upon information and belief the sec.
retary of state intended to revoke and
forfeit their license in this state They
will also show that the oil company
has in North Dakota 81 tank stations
and possesses real estate valued at
more than 100000, besides over $780,
600 worth OF petroleum now in their
tanks. The company claims that dur
ing the past year it has shipped six
and a quarter million gallons of oil
and gasoline into the state. It will
also claim that the action brought be
fore the secretary Of state had for
& It's purpose the practical confscation
Of the company's property in the state.
and revoke Its license without due
process of law, and that the actsunder
which this matter was instigated con
fiicts with both the federal and the
state constitution.
The secretary of state purposes to
maintain his position in this matter
and will resist the action Of the oil
company In court. He has requested
Attorney General McCue to appear for
the state.
Should the district court decide for
the oil company, Secretary Blaisdell
will at once appeal to the supreme
court.
