Pa., score of c'ty firemen were at the Atlantic Refining Company's storage yards when a big oil tank, Lurning since yesterday, collapsed this afternoon. Two explosions, fol- lowing the collapse of the tank, showersd flaming oil over an area of two squares. All ambulances in the city were summoned to the scée. Persons watching the progress of the fire were burned when they were caught under the showers of oil. The firemen who were trapped were at work in the storage yards near the tank. Without warning the big con- tainer sagged and a moment later the entire plant was a sea of flames. iremen attempting to rescue those trapped found it difticult to get near the yards because of the intense heat and Insecure footing. Burning fiercely throughout the night and resisting the efforts of all available | firemen and fire-fighting apparatus, the fire was not yet under con- trol fifteen hours after it was | started when a bolt of lightning struck an oil tank. The blaze had | consumed thousands of barrels of |o I and gasoline stored in huge tanks at the plant, covering four city| blocks along the Allegheny river, | and burned a number of other build- | | ings. including the pattern shop of the United Engineering and Foundry Company and the garage of the Pittsburgh Bushed Steel Company. The fire was burning early today at an estimated rate of 250 barrels an thour and firemen had thrown up dirt barriers in n effort to keep the flames from reaching a gasoline reser- voir m'nnmg thousands of barrels of fuel.

Burnquist said he “did not find much sentiment” for Oscar Hallam, former justice of the Supreme Court, another republican candidate. Gov.

MADRID, June 16.—The corre- |spondent of El Imparclal, at Melilla, | passes on an unconfirmed but widely fcirculated report that Abd-el-Krim, the Moroccan rebel chieftain, has been assassinated by Beni-Urriaguel tribes- men because he was about to punish one of their number who was sus- pected of having relations with the Spanish authorities. Secretary Mellon virtually has com- pleted arrangements to leave the lat- ter part of next week for a vacation trip to Europe. He expects to be away six weeks or two months, While the trip will be for recrea- tion, Mr. Mellon has told his friends he expects to make a personal study of European economic conditions, so that the Treasury will be in a bet- ter position to frame its policies dur- ing the remainder of his term in office. It is said that he will hold numer- ous conferences with European states- men and financiers, in order to ob- tain a better understanding of what the foreign powers, yet to negotiate debt-funding settlements with this government, can do in the way of payments when they ask for funding arrangements on their war-time debts. Mr. Mellon announced some weeks t bel Navy Flyer Sets New Endurance Mark for World Flying for 11 hours 16 minutes 59 seconds over a distance of 1,275 kilometers, Lieut. M. A. Schur, United States Navy, established a new world-endurance record for single-motored seaplanes Wednes- day, at San Diego, Calif., accord- ing to information received today at the bureau of aeronautics, Navy Department. Lieut, Schur's flight was made with the object of break- ing his own record for endurance, established last week, when he was in the air for 10 hours and 31 min- utes. The Navy pilot flew a Douglas torpedo-2 plane, which had been developed to carry and launch tor- pedoes from the air. In the tests conducted last week for the pur- pose of bringing out the qualities of service naval planes now going into the fleet in production quanti- ties, it was found that the types developed for torpedo and bomb- ing work were capable of break- ing practically every existing world record for seaplane performance, the announcement added. FATHER AND SON PLAY FOR GOLF CUP A. R. MacKenzie and Roland Meet This Afternoon for Middle Atlantic Title. a The unusual spectacle is presented this afternoon at the Chevy Chase Club of two members of the same family battling for a major golf champlionship. Albert R. MacKenzle of the Columbia Club and Roland R. MacKenzie are playing this afternoon in the final round of the middle At- lantic golf championship. Albert R. MacKenzie this morning defeated C. J. Dunphy, the District champion, 3 and 1, and Roland Mac- Kenzie, son of Albert, defeated Ho ace G. Chickering of Wilmington, & and 3, to enter the final round. Chickering won the play-off for the qualifying_ medal from B. Warren Corkran of Baltimore. the \\'llm\n[_z— fon entrant scoring a 72 against 16 for Corkran. LOW SCORES CONTINUE AS FEATURE OF GOLF PLAY AT CHEVY CHASE A new Middle Atlantic Golf Asso- ciation champion will be crowned to- day at the Chevy Chase Club. Along about 4:30 o'clock this afterncon a new champion will have arisen from among Chris J. Dunphy. the District champlon; Albert R. MacKenzie, his son_Roland or Horace G. Chickering of Wilmington, the -only out-of-town entrant in the championship tourney who survived the first two match- play rounds today. Goif of the best brand alone—and by that is meant par or perhaps a stroke or two worse—was the only kind of golf that kept the winners in the title chase vesterday. Dunphy played thirt four holes in 1 over 4 to win { from Frank Sweeney of Baltimore, 4 and 8, and from B. Warren Corkran of Baltimore in the afternoon by and 4. Chickering and Guy M Stand- tle in the morning, which Chickering finally won when Standifer took three putts on the eighteenth green. The Wilmington golfer had an easier time in the afternoon against Cliff McKimmie of Bannockburn, whom he defeated, 3 and 2. Albert R. MacKenzie of Columbia almost let Charles Mackall of Chevy Chase get away from him in the afternoon, finally winning in the last hole. Mackall missed short putts lon the fifteenth and sixteenth or there might have been a big upset in the present tourney, in the course of which the golf shot has been far and away the best ever seen in ama- teur events hereabouts. Mackenzfe's Spurt Wins. Roland MacKenzie had a tough battle to win from H. Crim Peck in the morning, annexing the last three holes for a victory, and then went ahead to a final hole victory in the afternoon over C. W. Baker, jr.. the long-hitting Wilmington entrant. Dunphy played Albert MacKenzie this morning in one semi-final, while the junior MacKenzle was opposed to Chickering, “the deceptive.,” who looks as if he is not playing good golf, but who always seems to be putting for 3s and getting many of them, Tom Moore of Indian Spring don't kick very often, but when he does he has “something to kick about. Moore plaved the first fifteen holes at Chevy Chase in even 4s yesterday afternoon and lost on_the fifteenth in the consolation to Guy Standifer. who shattered the record for the course with a brilliant 71, composed of a 36 and a 35. Moore had a 74 and lost 4 and 3. It's been a tough tournament for the lads with weak hearts, for never has such scoring been seen about Washington as has been shown at Chevy Chase in the last two days. It seems that any score above 77 is not worth talking about. And the course isn't a cinch, either. “There are plenty of traps and other trouble for the wayward ball. But every golfer seems to be right, and the putting greens leave nothing to be desired.
