TANKS AND BARRELS EXPLODE
 IN OIL YARD FIRE
FOUR ALARMS RUNG IN
800 Drums and 20 Tanks Explode Avalanche of Burning Oil from
 <11o,ooo Gallon Tank-Rivers of Oil.

Philadelphia, Aug. Flour large manufacturing plants were threatened with destruction, several firemen were many families had to fee for their lives from their homes this afternoon, when the plant of the Union Petroleum com- pany, which occupied an entire block in the southern section of the city. was practically destroyed III a spectacular fire that ragged for hours. The loss is estimated at $125,000.
 The fire had it's origin in the storage house loaded with many thousand bar rels of highly inf1ammable oils. These exploded with a deafeniHg roar. By the time the firemen responded the big plant was blazing in twenty places. Five minutes after the first explosion the flames communicated to a 10000 gallon tank, which exploded, sending an avalanche of burning oil in all di- rections.
 Four alarms were turned in, calling out nearly one- half of the citys ap- paratus. There were eighty tanks in the yard, each with 8 capacity of 400 barrels, and 300 drums. each contain ing 50 gallons of oil. Twenty of these 400 barrel capacity tanks exploded within an hour. together with all of the 800 drums.
 Great rivers of oil ran down the streets from teh oil tanks and laborers cut trenches for it to run into the sew CTS so that it could escape before be- coming ignited. The cause of the fire is not known.

ELENA WINS AsToR CUP. Carolina II. Wins Gold cupIf for sioop CIass--Rsce a Tedious One.

Newport, R. L, Aug. 7-The race to- day for the Astor gold and silver cups for sloops and schooners sailed in the 1ightest kind of a breeze and finished in a drift, was won by the fifty-foot nockabort sloop CarohnaII. owned by Pembroke Jones of Newport, and the schooner Elena, owned by Morton F. Plant, of Groton, Conn.
 It was one of the most tedious races that has ever been sailed in the Goelet- Astor series, which had it's renewal to- day. From the time that the 13 sloops and three schooners drifted over the starting line. little more than an hour before noon, until the Carolina finished, just at the sunset, none of the yachts experienced a breeze of over three knots an hour. Despite the fact that the course was practically two Elena with all her sail spread six hours, l minutes and 5S seconds, elapsed time, to sail the 38 miles, while the CarOlina's elapsed time was 8 hours, 52 minutes and 54 seconds The corrected time of the Elena was 6:0S.0O and of the Carolin 7:11:45.
 The Carolina wins massive CID of gold while the Elena's prize is of sil- yer, both contributed by the estate of the late Col. John Jacob Astor, but selected by his son, Vincent Astor, who followed the race from the steam yacht Noma.
 One schooner and seven sloops have entered for the Kings cup, which will be raced for tomorrow, the list being
 The schooner Irolita, the fifty-foot New York sloops Spar tan, Iroquois, Barbara. Crawling and Acushla and the Boston knockabout Dorello II, and the New York sloop Avenger. The last named yacht won the Kings cup in 1908.
 The schooner Elena was entered in this race but owing to the death of Mrs Morton F. Plant, the Elena will leave for New London and Greenport in the morning to go out of commission.

public good and furthermore that .this is not time for the division of the anti- Tammany forces"
 Continuing MT. Whitman said in part:
 s.The republican party in the com stitutional convention which provided that municipal elections should be separated from state elections, rec ognized the principle that munlclple government should be divorced from party government The republican party is stronger as a party in the state and the union by joining with all good citizens. regardless of party, against corruption in the city of New York, than by selfishly insisting upon the selection of any particular re- publican for any particular office
 In making public his acceptance Of the nomination for the office he now holds, Mr. Whitman said that he be- Iieved the republican leaders will now work for the fusion ticket.
 MT. Whitman left tonight for But tonwoods, N. H., to join his family.

SLOW PROGRESS ON
 NEW TARIFF BILL.
Senator Sherman Attacks The Pro-
 posed Metal Schedule.

Washington, Aug 7-Democrats made slow progress today in advancing the new tariff bill. An opposing speech by Senator Warren, republican; a long and sharp debate between Sen ators Stone and Lippitt over the Payne Aldrich tariff law; and an at tack by Senator Sherman upon pro- visions of the metal schedule took up much of the day.
 Senator Sherman opposed the fifteen per cent. rate on car wheels in the bill, saying it meant ruin to American manufacturers for the benefit of those in England and Germany. Reviewing exports of wheels from this country last year, he said:
 "Not a dollars worth was exported to China in 1912 and it is reasonable to suppose that not dollars worth will be exported in 1913.
 Instead of dollar diplomacy in the far east with thousands of dollars worth of goods sold there we now have grape juice diplomacy and the sale of noth- ing

GOVERNMENTS CASE IN
 WHITE SLAVE TRIAL.
Attorney Outlines What is to Be
 Proved Against Diegs.

San Francisco, Aug. IA jury was sworn. the government stated it's case and the taking of testimony was be- gun today in the first of the Diggs- caminetti trials. The case was called Tuesday morning in the United States district court on an indictment charg- ing violation of the Mann nct-popu- lariy known as the white slave law.
 Theodore Roche of special counsel for the government set forth in the closing hour of the afternoon sitting what the prosecution would attempt 10 prove Ii would be shown by docu- meftary evidence and the testimony of witnesses, he told the jury:
 l. That Marsha Warrington and Lola Norris. one 20 years old and the other 1s. had been Frightened by Mau ry l. Diggs and F. Drew .CaminBtti, married men, with children, one 28 and the. other 2T years old, into leaving Sacramento lest a scandal explode and criminal prosecutions follow.
 sEThat marriage had been promised after the two husbands should have divorced their wives.
 SAThat Caminetti raised the money for the trip from Sacramento to Reno, New, that sDiggs bought the trans portation and paid the Pullman fares.
 That the four travelled as married couples, occupying the same staterOom on night train.
 5-That on arriving at Reno on the morning of March Il, 1913. they reg istered at hotel as married and occu- pied adjoining rooms. with a bath be- tween
 6AThat Diggs hired four-room bungalow, paying rent in advance for a month and representing to the agent that the party was from Los Angeles and intended to spend six months in Reno.
 That all four lived in the bun galow for three days before they were arrested, Dfggs and Marsh Warning ton occupying the front room and Caminetti and Lola Norris a rear room.
 g-That Diggs was in his night clothes when he opened the back door of the bungalow to the officers who ar- rested him on the morning of the 14th, and that the officers waited in the liv- ing room while the two girls dressed.
 s-That after the sreturn to Sacra- mento Diggs had written to Marsh Warrington from Berkeley adjuring her to keep up her courage and that ali would end well if she would re- member what he had told her, particu- there had been any improper relations between them.
 Just before court adjourned F. J. Peck. a real estate dealer from Reno, was on the stand In cross examina- tion the defense sought to show that the bungalow the two couples occupied SlIring their stay in Reno was not on &&@ outskirts of the city and had been H9nted with no view to seQuestration 9nd concealment.
 'I don't see" interposed Judge Van Fleet, how 1t can make any difference to this case if they went there openly or secretly and clandestinely. Unless the government can show that they went there for the purpose prohibited by the Mann white slave traffic act, then the case Of the government fails. Even if the women were public pros titutes if the defendant procured their transportation and accompanied them there for immoral purposes, the case of the government would stand.'
