The National Producers' Associa

I'ROMPT WORK NII'S A
FIRE ON WATERFRONT
Otherwise Short Circuit Nor
Coaxt Oil Tank Might Have
Had Serious llenult
Prompt work of the flre depart
ment early Tuesday morning '
saved the city from what might
have been a disastrous flre.
A cross circuit In the wires on
the pole about ten feet from the |
office of the Coast Oil Company I
at the foot of Matthews street set I
fire to the telephone pole and to ;
a post on the dock from which a ,
heavy wire ran'to the pole.
When the firemen arrived on
lb" scene the wires were spitting -
big gobs of flre and the Btreet and i
sidewalk immediately around the |
pole was charged.
Chief Flora immediately put in
n call to the Electric Light plant
for the current to be cut off aud
the flre was extinguished. A line-!
man was then secured and the!
current was back on within 4 6 i
minutes after it was turned of T. 1
A hole about a half Inch deep
was burned in the telephone pole t
and the post on fhe dock was'
burnt half In two for a distance J
of ten inches. Had it not been
fur the extremely wet weather the I
entire dock might have been [
ablaze when the flre department j
arrived.
The alarm was turned in by J
Night Police Officer Hasnlght at
4:40 a. m. The officers noticed
the dimming of the lights on th"!
.streets soon after midnight and
thought that there was a short]
circuit somewhere but could not;
locate it.
A large blaze on the Matthews
.?* 1 1*? t dock might have brought a.
disaster to the city as the Coast I
Oil Company tank is something
ilk" 4 0 feet from the office of the
company.

Ki-Mok. t hi?- ambassador to Great
[ i'ritain. in causing even more gos
sip ami 'inquiry. How did it corae
[about? Probably this way:
Mr. IluuhcH had been urging
tin- President to accept his realf
mitien. Mr. Cool id ge was reluc
tant a most unwilling, for ha
i-'u.ihIh Mr. IIiiKhea very hlghlj
and all tad; about minor or ma
jor dlsuKtveinents muy be set
down an utterly unfounded.

'?W<11. Hu n 's Prank Kellogg at ,
.I.?>n?li.n." wan Mr, Hughes natur- ,
al r. ply. "I !?? is already familiar |
with the hi.; questions We now are
deuiiir; with. II- ban had exper- i
ietice in dealing first hand with
Kunn>"an statesmen and ' he can
lake things over without diffi
culty.'
To all of this Mr. Coolldfft ;
r-adilv con id have agreed and tfya
appointment wan announced. It-j
iu' ? r? sting alsd to point out In
ia thia contention that Mr.
lliiihep originally rerornmonded
Mr. K?-llof 'a for the post In Lon
don. Hi- Iran the hUhest regard
for Mr. Kelltt^K'a ability. And
Mr ''oil id go has the Hiime regard
for Mr. iliiKhiH* advice.
M" t of tie' newspaper men,
however, are frankly doubtful
about Mr. Keflogg'a capacity to
hinidlo the Joh of Secretary of I
S 1 1 r. When Mr. Kellogg was a :
I ulted S -it ?m Senator he revealed j
:t nervon.H disposition. Public
iM- n ari horn with the facility for ;
handling newspaper men. They ;
ran I' acquire It. Mr. Hughee

or S'aie In Ibis rcspect that Wash- i
in. ton has had in a >;? Deration, I
II' was courageous enough to dla
? " i all maitn< r of pubMc quea
i. nis with th- press and the latter
: Imont never iniHiinderstood or
mi: i < presented. Mr. Kellogg la
ju t us years old and rosponslbll* |
it y weighs heavily upon him. Had
lie heen named Attorney General
and Charlet It. Warren as Secre
tary of State the general opinion
h' re would have been more fav- 1
orable. Por Mr. Warren Is a
much youngi r man. nn cxpor- i
I- need diplomatist, and a remark- j
abl" lawyer.
Mr. Kellogg on the other hand la j
of a Judirlnl temperament and a?;
Attorney Cf-neral would have been |
la much j. lore famiUar surround- )
InpM than he will be In the Depart- I
no lit of State. Por all these re^- j
?'in. then t.s a disposition to ba
II -. that Mi Kellogg's appoint
or ? 1 t> tir.ej' ,i" and that ho
? r s?ai? for not i
more than a year. He niaytatfr- j
pi is. th skeptics, of course! but
on ( apltol Hill, whoro they knoV
former Senator Kelog, the belief

weighty problems wit li which he |
