was towed to prevent her sinking.
The financial loss is estimated at

believed to have caused the explosion.
The superintendent Of the, elevator,
D. 8. Harvey, was among the injured.
The explosion occurred shortly after
the elevator hands returned to work
following their dinner hour. The con-
cussion shook the whole town and win
dows in nearby buildings were smashed.
Flames spread through the wreckage,

UCH|DA'S WORDS FAIL

World. Copyright 1919.
PARIS, August 9.-China's refusal
to sign the peace treaty will be
changed in no wise by the statement
made by viscount Uchida, Japanese
foreign minister, which it is felt
sheds no fresh light on the Shantung
situation.
That is the impression received to-
day at the headquarters Of the Chi
nese delegation. The Chinese hold that
the allies must seek further conces-
sions from Japan If China is to ac-
cept' the terms of peace.
President Wilson's negotiations
were designed to obtain from the
Japanese government definite pledges
to Picking about the date Of the
Japanese evacuation of Shantung,
which Viscount Uchida's utterances
fail to provide. The fact that China
has to declare the termination Of her
state Of war with Germany makes it
more than ever necessary for her to
maintain an incorporating policy,
in the view of her delegates here.

80 FARMERS ARRESTED.

Check Profteering.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August g.
Thirty-two farmers were arrested
here today on warrants charging
them with misdemeanor by Murray
Livingston. city ordnance officer. in an
effort to check profteering among
farmers who sell foodstuffs in this
city at abnormal prices, and who do
not market their measures properly
as required by law.
Those arrested were arraigned In
police court and fined 81 each for
every basket and. container which
was not marked properly. One farm

months ago. although it has just been
made public, is said to involve as
much as $1,500.000. Notable among
the enamels in the Morgan collection
which Mr.. Frick has acquired are
portraits by Leonard Limousin and
earlier artists. such as Monvaerni,
Nardon and the Penicauds.-
By his purchase of the Morgan
Fragonards and other valuable paint
ings and tapestries, as well as the
costly Chinese porcelains in the coll
lection and his valuable acquisitions
from other quarters, Mr.. Prick seems
to be justifying the prediction that he
would take the place Of Mr.. Morgan
as the foremost of American col
lectors Of art in this country.

the American delegates there have
shown tendency to deprive Greece
Of those sections Of Thrace which are,

is anything but direct pursuance of
the policy Of self-dehnition Of peo-

but who as an American citizen al
ways has actively striven to promote
better understanding between the
United States and Greece. said:
1.-THE argument is advanced by the
American representatives in Paris
that the economic interests Of the
Bulgarians in having an outlet on
the Mediterranean should be taken
into account. even in the face Of the
rights Of Greece, which are based up
on chronological grounds according to
the principle of self-determination of
the interested population. But, then,
why did not Poland get Danxig? Al
to the sea for Poland, Danzig was not
given on account Of the German pop
ulation.
why is that same principle not
good any more when applied to Greece
and Bulgaria? And yet the situation
Of Bulgaria is not the same. as that
Of Poland.
Bulgaria Has Ports.
Bulgaria has two beautiful ports
and harbors in the Black sea-varna
and Bourga. Rumania, although
larger, has but one port on that same
sea- As the straits, Of the Bosporus
and the Dardanelles will be tree
in the future, the economic and COM
mercial interests OF Bulgaria are safe:
Besides, both the Dedeagatch and
Porto Lagos could not be made really
available for commerce without very
great expense. So that the alleged
economic interests OF Bulgaria are
not at all Of such Importance that
the undoubted chronological interests
Of the Greek population should be
sacrificed.
"Buiearians often have declared. and
It has been repeated, after them:
There were Greeks before in Thrace,
but now there are none any more
