 Storage Tanks Burn

SAPULPA, Okla, Apr 3.-Fire, which today caused an estimated damage to the Sapulpa Refining Company of more than $300,000, halted train ser vice over the St. Louis & San Fran cisco Railroad to Texas points and des troyed all wire communications with Tulsa, was still burning fiercly to- night among three 55,000 barrel capa- city crude oil storage tanks at the company's plant mile from here.
 Early tonight, the third tank was threatening to boil over, despite ef- forts of corps of reguAr and volun. teer firemen to subdue the flames, anu fears were expressed by company officials that the entire refinery, val. ued at more than $1,000,000 would be destroyed. Nine large gasoline tanks but short distance from the inferno of blazing liquid also are endangered
 This afternoon, the second tank boiled over, sending floods of burning oil over the Frisco railroad tracks and the Sapulpa.Tulsa highway. The heat from the burning crude oil was so intense that railroad rails were bent and twisted, and it was not until tonight the flames, which had spread over several acres in the vicinity of the plant. had been controlled suffi- ciently to permit temporary repair of the tracks. The fire began yesterday, when one of the tanks was struck by lightning.

LONDON, Apr. g. (By the Associ- ated Press)-The house of commons tonight. after an unexciting debate, adopted by the substantial majority of PTS, Premier Lloyd Georges resolu- tion calling for confidence in the gov ernment's policy onsthe coming ec- onomic conference at Genoa.

 Prior to this, the house, by vote of 394 to S4, rejected an amendment proposed by John Robert Clynes, Lab orite, which, while approving an in ternational economic and financial conference, declared that the govern ment was not competent to represent the country at such Q conference, and did not have the confidence of the country. This result is regarded as exceedingly satisfactory for the prime minister, as the combined Laborites and independent Liberals number about 100. and the ''die hards" about 50; all of whom might have been ex- r'rs"'ad to oppose the primers reso- lution.

THINKS FORMER BUTLER STAGED
 JEWEL ROBBERY
Servant Is Thought to Be Master Mind in $60,OO0
 Gem Burglary

NEW YORK, Apr. 3.-Police Com missioner Enright today asserted that a former butler was the brains of the $60,0000 jewel robbery in Washington Square yesterday.
 This man, according to the commits sioner, robbed Albert R. Shatttuck, re- tired banker, in 1917. and returned again to rob. This time it was a bolder deed, for bigger game. Before the jewels were whisked from the house, MT. and Mrs. Shattuck and their eight servants were imprisoned in a wine vault, where they were saved from the danger of suffocation by the ingenuity of Shattuck in un- screwing the bolts with a pen knife and coin.
 We have arrested one of the rob- bers and hope to have them all in GUS tody in short time" declared the commissioner.
 Shattuck appeared at police head quarters bright and early and was as- sured the best detectives were being put on the case. He was taken to the rogue's gallery to see if he could dis cover there a picture of the butler.
 Tt was the most outrageous and high-handed carime l ever heard of, commented Shattuck, especially when one considers that there were 2,000 persons seated in the park di- rectly opposite the house at the time"

 IN TEST |MONY {. DURl4G TRIAL
Entire Deposition of Doctor Thrown Out; Woman Says
 Evidence Was Altered

SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 3.-The en- tire desposition of Samuel Seabury Graves of Chicago, was excluded from the record of the third manslaughter trial of Roscoe (Eatty) Arbuckle to- day after a long argument between cousel A portion of the desposition had been read into the record.
 Dr. Graves statement was held by Judge Harold Lo1derback to be of no value because the physician could nc be absolutely certain that a woman he treated about 10 years ago was really Virginia Rappe, movie actress, for whose death Arbuckle is on trial. Dr. Graves thought the last name of his patient was Rappe, but he would not be sure. The defense had relied considerably on this evidence and fought hard to keep it in the record.
 The court also abbreviated the ad- mitted of the sworn statement of Dr. Paul Ralph Hirschman of 231 East Marquette Road, Chicago. Only about 10 percent of his affidavit was al- lowed in evidence. In this, he de- elared that he had met Miss Rappe when she lived in Chicago, and had seen her double up with pain after taking several drinks.
 Mrs. Helen Adeline Whitehurst of Chicago, caused something of a sen sation when she repudiated that DOT tion of her desposition previously ta- ken, in which she reported to have

RESTRAINT ON BOARD SOUGHT
 THROUGH SUIT
Action Brought by Railroad Would Prevent Rendering
 of Decisions by Body

CHICAGO. Apr. 3.--1f the Pennsyl- vania Railroad is upheld In it's suit to enjoin the United States railroad labor board from rendering decisions, the board must close up shop and transfer all its proceedings to the fed eral courts, Blackburn Esterlin. spec ial assistant to the attorney general of the United States, declared today when the Pennsylvania injunction case came before Federal Judge George P. Page.
 Attorney Esterlin contended that the jurisdiction of the court did not extend over the board, that body be- ing an administrative arm of the Uni ted States government.
 The history of the case was re- viewed by Attorney Esterlin, after citing four cases in which the trans portation act. which the Pennsylvania attacks as unconstitutional, had sue cessfully withstood attacks in the su- preme court" He contended that the Pennsylvania had recognized the law and the board by reason of asking the board, in 1921, to terminate the old federal national agreements, under which the roads employees still work ed after the road was returned to pri- vate control.
 When these agreements were fin- ally abrogated July l, 1921, by the board, it ordered conferences between all roads and their employees to draw up new working rules to replace the old agreements. The Pennsylvania refused to recognize System Fedora tion No. 90, the shop crafts union, and held an election to name employe conferees. The federation did like wise, put the road refused to recog- nipe the union election, conferred with the representative elected on the company ballot, and employees have since been working under rules negotiated by those representatives.
 The board held both elections H. legal and ordered a new ballot which the road declined % issue, bringing suit to prevent the board from issuing further decisions and restraining it from enforcing its election decision.
 Attorney Esterlin cited numerous cases in which interstate commerce commission decisions were held to be final and not reYiewable.
 Attorneys for the carrier will be heard tomorrow.

:.

SMALL. OPENS FIRE LIN JURY
 MINUS WOMEN
Attacks Legality of Panel; Claims Supervisors Failed
 to Fulfill Requirements

WAUKEGATN, Ills, Apr. B. (By the Associated Press) s)-Governor Len Small wants women to sit on the jury which will try him here on charges of conspiring with Fred E. Sterling, lieutenant governor, and Vernon Cur tis, Grant Park banker, to embezzle state funds.
 Today, the governor attacked the legality of the jury panel because the Lake county board of supervisors had failed to include the names of women voters in it.
 Taken by surprise, attorneys for the state obtained AS hours delay to prepare their answer.
 Attorneys for the governor read an affidavit signed by him, asserting that the board of supervisors had failed to comply with the legal re- quirements that names of 10 per cent of the qualified voters be placed in the jury box, and had, in fact, listed only 10 per cent of the male voters, ignoring the women.
 Werner Schroeder of the defense counsel, declared that even though it should be held that women may not sit on the jury, the. supervisors should have compiled venire based on the number of votes cast by both men and women. He cited a long list of court decisions in other states in support of the contention that women may serve on juries.
 Should the governors contention be upheld by Judge Claire c. Ed wards and women seated, the Lake county courthouse may have to be remodeled before the trial can be held. The courthouse has one large dormitory with 12 single beds for jur- ors, and. as Illinois law forbids separ- ation of jurymen, some arrangements will have to be made to furnish pri- vacy for the women jurors.
 Judge Edwards has already an nounced that the jury will be con fined throughout the trial, which Is expected to lost anywhere from three to five months.
