PROPOSED COMPROMISE
 OF IRISH QUESTION
Ulster Men Authorize Sir Edward Carson to Proceed With Negotiations.

Belfast. June 12.-The Ulster Un- ionist council, while showing no en- thusiasm for the proposed honorable compromise, at a meeting today pre- sided over by Sir Edward Carson, au- thorized Sir Edward to proceed with the negotiations. The attitude of the members was that they were willing to make sacrifices in order, as the government desires, to procure a set clement which will strengthen the empire and aid in winning the war.
 The meeting was private, but a statement of the proceedings showed that the counties Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal protested against sep aration from the rest of Ulster but agreed to abide by the decision of the other six Ulster counties. The meet ing further adopted a resolution stat ing that in the event of the failure of negotiations complete freedom of ac- tion was reserved to oppose the whole policy of home rule.

INDEPENDENT, OIL JoBBERs
 ARRAIGN STANDARD OIL co
Tell Federal Trade Commission How
 Industry Was DemoraIized.

Washington, June 12-Independent oil jobbers testified today before the federal trade. commission that the Standard Oil company had demor- alized the oil industry and. through failure of the units of the company to compete in each others fields, had jeopardized the existence of inde- pendent jobbers and refners. They declared that arbitrary high prices set by the Standard Oil company in Ohio and eastern states had diverted the flow of oil from the independent refneries of the middle west until the independent jobbers of the west, where a lower retail price is set by the Standard Oil company of Indiana, were no longer able to buy crude oil at prices which would permit them to compete with the Standard company
 The entire first day of the commits sion's hearing here was taken up with the testimony of the independent job- bers. When the independents have finished Standard Oil representatives are expected to give their explanation of the increases and to reply to. the charges of price fixing.

CAMPAIGN TO BE MARKED
 WITH INSPIRING oRAToRY.
A Clash of InteIIects Between Presi-
 dent Wilson and MT. Hughes.

St. Louis, July 12.-Democratic lead CTS virtually all agree that the coming presidential campaign will be marked with inspiring oratory, a clash of in teIIects between President Wilson and MT. Hughes, and markedly free from personalities.
 None of the democrats think of be- littling the ability of MT. Hughes as a campaigner. They have not forgotten his campaigns in New York, nor his speech in Youngstown, O., in 1908, when he opened the fight for MT. Taft. They also realize his physical fitness to go into a four months campaign.
 To meet MT. Hughes and the repub- lican campaigners behind him, they expect to calf upon the best of the democratic party. Whether he person. ally will go into the campaign will be decided by the president only, but ar effort probably will be made to get him to speak, for no matter how mudn the leaders may rely on other leading dem- ocrats, they realize the weight of the direct word of the president.
