University Of Oregon Celebrates
Fortieth Anniversary This Week

University of Oregon, Eugene The
fortieth anniversary Of the opening of
the University of Oregon was cele-
brated Monday June S. Other events
of the day were the commencement ad-
dress by DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, pres
ident of Leland-Stanford university,
to the University of Oregon graduat-
ing, class; and the laying of the cor
nerstone Of the new Education build
ing.
The story Of the founding of the
State University has romantic cast.
The pioneers of Lane county-hard-
working men with few resources;
most of them = raised $50, 900 to in
duce the state to locate the university
at Eugene; and their $4,000 was
devoted to the building of Deadly hall.
These early settlers made all kind of
sacrifices to raise the money: One
man would sell a cow and give a por-
tion of the proceeds; another would
give the returns from two or three
sacks of wheat from a load he had
hauled to town.
The graduating class this year num-
bers about 100. Some of them will
pursue postgraduate work, some will
go into business, few will continue
work for professional occupations, and
many will enter high school teaching.

Senate Is Accused Of Violating
Parliamentary Law Of Adjournment

Washington, d. c. Members Of the
house were much exercised Tuesday
over what they insisted was a viola
tion by the senate of the constitutions
al provision that neither house shall
adjourn for more than three days at a
time without the consent of the other.
The senate adjourned Saturday until
noon Thursday, the leaders counting
that three-day recess because of the
intervening Sunday. Republican
Leader Mann, supported by Represent
ative Garret, of Tennessee, and other
house parliamentarians, brought the
matter formally to the attention of
Speaker Clark, and the Speaker agreed
that bad precedent had been set.
Later Democrat senators suggested
informally that the house dispose of
the situation by adopting resolution
consenting to four-day adjournment.
1t was said this might be done.

Great Oriental Freight Cargo
and San Francisco Pier Burn

San Francisco-Five thousand tons
of freight from the Orient, which
were unloaded Sunday from the Shin
yo Maru No. 2, Japanese freighter,
and a concrete pier recently erected by
the state at the mouth of Islais Creek,
were destroyed in a spectacular blaze
of unknown origin here early Monday.
The Shinyo and the General Forbes,
another freighter, which were tied tc
the pier, were slightly damaged before
they could be removed from the fires
reach. Steamship men said the loss
would reach close to $500, 900.
The Shinyo arrived Wednesday, but
the cargo was not touched until Sun
day, when its owners granted the de-
mands of the striking longshoremen.
The boat was emptied at II o'clock
Sunday night, three hours before the
fire started.
Two coal barges and several box
cars were also damaged. One of the
barges, the Melrose, the largest on the
bay, which was tied to the pier, drift
ed out into the stream with her cargo
ablaze when her moorings burned. She
bumped another coal barge, which was
anchored off the pier. Both burned
freely until fire tugs flooded the coal.
Later the two broke loose and drifted
down the bay with their cargoes
smouldering. Tugs caught up with
them off the Ferry building.
Several narrowly escaped being
burned. Customs Lieutenant Patrick
Barrett and pier watchman were on
the pier when the fire started. The
flames spread rapidly and drove the
two men aboard the Forbes.
When the fire broke out, Japanese
swarmed from the Shinyo's forecastle
and spread over the ship, seeking ref
uge. One jumped overheard, but his
mates hauled him back on life pre-
server.
From nearby cities and from far out
at sea the sheets of fire and the glare
could be seen. The blaze was the
most spectacular and destructive that
has visited the local waterfront in

TORNADO IN ARKANSAS TAKES
DEATH TOLL OF FIFTY mine

Little Rock, Ark. -Fifty-nine per.
sons are reported killed and more thar
100 injured in a series of tornadoes
which swept Arkansas Monday after.
noon. All means of communication
are crippled and it is feared the list Of
dead and injured will be greatly in
creased by later reports.
At least four persons were killed
and half dozen others were injured
seriously in tornado which swept
across Garland county and through the
southwest portion Of Hot Springs, Ark.
The electric light and power plant
there was put out of commission and
the city was without lights or car
service.
The storm came from the southwest,
touching the city first in the vicinity
Of Oaklawn. There Methodist church
was blown down. Then the wind
crushed few frame buildings across
from the Oaklawn track entrance.
Farther on several small houses
were lifted and crumpled until the
wind reached the Majestic park, which
is the Spring training home of the
Boston Americans. That was swept
clean.
Then the electric power plant was
struck and damaged. From that point
northeast, where many homes were
damaged and much property was lost.
The dead thus far reported are as
follows:
Judsonia, White county, 25 known
dead and SO injured.
Heber Springs, 18 dead.
De Lark, Dallas county, A dead.
Cabot, White county, dead.
Hot Springs, a dead.
Morrillton, ! dead.
Greenland Washington county, 2
dead.
North Arkansas appears to have
suffered most severely although the
storm was general throughout the
state.
At Judsonia one-third of the town
was said to have been swept away.
Twenty-Five bodies and so injured al
ready had been taken from the ruins.

BRITISH CLAIM GERMANY'S Loss
IN NAVAL FIGHT WAS HEAVIER

London-The British admiralty Mon
day issued statement saying there
was the strongest ground for the be-
lief that the British navy in the bat
tie with the Germans off Jutland last
week had accounted for total of 1S
German men-of-war, and that there
was nothing to add to or substract
from the original announcement of the
British losses.
The statement gave the German
losses as two batttleships, two dread
naught battle cruisers, four light
cruisers, nine torpedo boat destroyers
and submarine.
The pessimism which prevailed as a
result of the admiraltiy's original
statement Of losses, which is consid-
cred to have been needlessly candid
and conservative in Understanding
the extent of the German losses, as
compared with those of Great Britain,
has been greatly lessened by the latest
statement.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships be-
sides those announced in the German
communication - the battleship West
fallen and the battle cruiser Lutzowd-
were sunk in battle. A wireless dis
patch received here Saturday from
Berlin said the German admiralty ad-
mitted the loss of the Westfalen.
The admiralty statement declares
that the German losses in the fight
were not only relatively, but absolute
ly, greater than those of the British.
Maintaining its practice of caution,
the admiralty still refrains from CIV
ing the names of the lost German
ships.
The official list of the casualties
among officers shows that hardly a
single officer of the line escaped from
the British cruisers sunk in the battle.
An additional casualty list of petty
officers shows that 43 of them were
saved from the Queen Mary, Invinci-
BILE, Fortune, Ardent and Shark. None
was saved from the Indefatigible, De-
fense, Black Prince, Tipperary, Turbu-
lent, Nomad or Nestor.

Force on Greece Urged.

Petrograd-The Russian press urges
the entente powers to bring pressure

Something of a sensation has beer
caused by the articles, especially those
in the Bourse Gazette, expressing the
opinion that the king of Greece would
do well to take a rest of some duration
at some place better for his health
than Athens"
The other papers denounce "the po-
litical felony" of Greece toward the
entente. The Novoe Vremya declares
the measures taken at Saloniki as in
sufficient and calls upon the entente
powers to take necessary steps at
