the entire field, containing hundreds
of tanks is practically certain to be

A great blaze shot into the air when
the first crude oil tank was fired sun
day and the flames soon spread to the
adjoining tanks. Fire fighters soon
appeared however. and after several
hours of heroic work, aided by a
change in the direction of the wind,
the flames appeared to be under con

Early Monday morning, the wind

crude oil caught. This time there was
no chance to put it out and the fight

A few minutes later a terrific eX-

saved them from being engulfed by

The explosion shook the entire city.

The news that Rev Nicholas Righ- tor has accepted the call of St. Ann S Episcopal church of Nashville, Tenn, to become it's associate rector, has been received with keen regret by his cially among the E]ks, of which Dr. der he was state chaplain for two years.

SENATOR DAVIS PLEA FOR FREE
 PRESS.

Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, delivered a stirring speech before the United States Senate last Tuesday that should go far towards perpetl- ajing his name for time to come.
 Senator Davis is known to have many times expressed his abhorance of the Press, and his contempt for reporters has been shown aud ex- pressed on many occasions; the req soa:-a fearless Press has not been slow to condemn OH some occasions the cratic and reasonable attitude the senator has at times assumed on certain important matters and issues of state and National interest.
 The Graphic has never hesitated to criticise Senator Davis when, in it's estimation, he deserved criticism or censure; it is prerogatiye which the freedom of the Press exercises relative to men in public life But when the Graphic sees cause to con- mend, it is as ready to commend as 10 condemn and when Senator Davis stoodo before his colleagues on last Tuesday and argued for the freedom of the Press, thus showing himself big enough to "iSe entirely above per sonal prejudice in standing for the rights of a newspaper man, and through this the newspaper fratern- ity, and the libelity of the people of a free country, he most certainly plac- ed himself on the side of right and justice, and is to be strongly com mended and accorded the gratitude due him for fearless defense of the right
 We refer to his defense of F G. Lewis, editor and publisher of tl.e Woman's National Weekly, formerly the Woman's $ National D lily, to Whi"h he refers as the cleanest, most wholesome family newspaper that has ever come under his observation.
 The National Weekly has many sub scribers in this city who will bear him out to a man in this statement.
 Senator D,vis states that ''the edi- tor and publisher of this paper has been the worst abused, the worse maligned and maltreated man by the Postoffice Department also the De- partment of Justice and their subor dinates, that have ever known in my whole life
 He arraigns the Department in caustic terms for what he calls it's work of "spoliation' against Nr, Lewis, and says:
 Lewis must be a wonderful gen. jus to have accomplished in the face of the outrageous treatment. that has been inflicted upon him the wonder full results he has sttained.
 He conceived the idea of the lit tie city of University City which lies
