C. V. Toner oil field worker waa
the hero ot the Humble field today.
Risking sodden death at ' 1 p. m.
Monday he saved a 259.JW-barrel
Texaa company earthen tank from
destruction by crossing a field of bias-
ing oil and with a wet blanket smoth-
ering sparks which had charred the
outer timbers of the roof of the tank.
Forty-five minutes before Toner's
heroic act the second of two Gulf
Pipe Line company tanks to burn
boiled over. The liquid fire- spread
nearly a. mile across fields to within
a few hundred feet of one of the Texaa
company tanks on a farm immediately
adjoining the Gulf property. Sparks
won hal ignited a third tank. But for
Toner's quirk work another half mil-
lion loss would have been added to the
biggest oil tire in Texas in recent
years.
Official Watches Here.
H. Fowle. an official of the Texas
company who witnessed Toner's act
said that Toner probably will be given
handsome reward. The hero Is a
fireman at a pumping station of the
Texas company's pipe line near Hum-
ble; -
Loss in the fire which atarted with
a stroke . of lightning at 4:10 p. nt.
Sunday by 'today will have reached
more than ll.aoo.OOO oil men estimate.
The Gulf Pipe Line company although
owner of the earthen tank farm does
not own the oil. which Is property of
an associate 'concern. It is' under
stood.
In all. two tanks now at the height
of their destruction with promises of
dying down by Thursday were de
troyed. The one hit by lightning Is
aid to.be the largest m the United
States but this report could not be
confirmed. Oil men on duty at the
rcene of the fire said that the large
tank contained 580.000 barrels of oil
and that the second tank -which burned
contained 250.000 barrels making 130.-
000 barrels of oil In all which is lost
Other Tanks Safe. -
An additional 270.000 barrels In s
third tank belonging to the Gulf con
cern Is safe it is now believed. The
Sun company with four tanks contain

ing to oil men. Is across a roadway
and will not sustain a loss. The Texas
company's narrow escape from loss of
the one 250000-barrel tank probably
saved them In addition a second tank

mately 150.000 barrels of oil. It Is said

Great Britain Hesitates to
Take Part Until
Status Is Defined
Associated Press Report
LONDON Nov. 11. Although the
Lausanne conference for the making
of peace In the Near East has been
postponed a week until November 20
officials take the view another post-
ponement will be necessary If Great
Britain falls to win her point that a
preliminary conference must be held
by the representatives of Great Brit
aln Italy and France.
The British government Is Insisting
on some sort or consultation witn tne
other sHIes In order to learn exactly
where Great Britain stands before she
enters the conference.
Now that the Lausanne conference
has been postponed to November 20
the question most urgently ssked here
is wnemer ii win ne possiDie to roain
tain peace In Constantinople In the in.
terlm. Restoration of communication
has revealed such an ugly situation
that it is thought the utmost tact and
skill will be necessary to prevent vio
lent outbursts.
Extremists Dominate.
All reports coming to London concur
in saying the extremists are domlnat
ing the Angora government which
through Its agents In Constantinople is
following the policy of defiance toward
the allies and terrorism among the
local population.
Residents jof Constantinople are
described as being In a state of ex
treme alarm while the position of the
allied troops Is represented ss one
which may soon become untenable.
An incident which sharply shows the
total change In the situation from con-
dltlona which have prevailed during
the past year is siwrsed by gome eor-
rennendenta whose dispatches say that
an EngUsbibook merchant who became
involved In - sv street squabble was
seised by the Turkish police taken to
the Galata police station and thrash
ed. The correspondents ualntaln the
establishment of martial law alone
can make Constantinople safe.
Complete Unity Essential.
Complete agreement among the al
lies and a display of unity In the
nature ot granting full authority to
thklr commanders In Constantinople
to eo-eperate In any emergency would
remove anxiety. It is contended and
guarantee stability during the discus
sion with the Turks at Lausanne.
Wlthout-sucb complete co-operation
it is argued the conference had better
not be held.
Commentators In London generally
Insult strongly upon the necessity for
the allied representatives to meet to
gether before talking to the Turks af
Lausanne in oraer to aectae a common
policy. Unless this Is done some oh
servers feel It will be Impossible
for Great Britain to be represented ai
Lausanne at all.

held today.
The high court affirmed a de
cision of the California circuit court
ot appeals In a test case brought
by Takao Ozawa of Honolulu who
claimed he was "white" and vis
eligible for naturalization as an
American.
At the same time the court up
held the Washington supreme court
denying citizenship to Takujl Vsm-
ashlta and Charles Hio Kono of
Seattle.
The decision held that the two
Japanese were not entitled to nat-
uralisation under the United States
laws and therefore could not enter
a business partnership.
The supreme court's decision in
these cases has long been awaited .
particularly on the Pacific coast
where antl-Japauese feeling exists.
Oxawa contended he was entitled
to American citizenship as a descend-
ant of the white tribe ot Abru. He
started his fight tor eUlaenahip sev-
eral years ago in Hawaii but was de
feated in the courts there and also
la higher courts In California. Oxawa
has lived In Hawaii since bis eblld-
hoed aae) was educated m the Anjeri-
e9 school- ttssra.- Hie children now
attending American eollegeey-are be-
ing brought up as American cltinns
Similar Arguments. ...
Yamashlta presented an argument
similar to that of Oaawa Hs ap-
pealed to the supreme court when the
courts of ths State of Washington
denied him the privilege of incorporat-
ing a real estate company because of
his ineligibility to eltlsenehlp.
Justice Sutherland reading bis first
opinion from the bench since his re-
cent appointment by President Hard-
ing delivered the opinion.
It said in part:
"The determination that the words
'white person' are synonymous with
the words 'a person of the Caucasian
race' simplifies the problem although
it does not entirely dispose of it. Con-
troversies have arisen and will no
doubt arise again In rerpect of the
proper classification of Individuals In
border line cases. The effect of thr
conclusion that the words 'white per-
sc!i' means a Caucasian Is not to es
tnbllsh a sharp line of demarcation
between those who are entitled and
those who are not entitled to naturali-
sation but rather a rone of more oi
less debatable ground Inside of which
upon the one hund. are thoee clearly
eligible and outside of which upon
the other hand are those clearly In
eligible for citizenship.
Clearly Not Caucaaion.
"Individual cases falling within in is
tone must be determined as they arise
from time to time by what this court
has called. In another connection the
gradual process ol tudlclal inconclu
sion and exclusion.
"The appellant in the case now un
der consideration however. Is clearlt
of a race which Is not Caucasian and.
therefore belongs entirely outside tht
sone on the negative side. A largi
number of the federal and State court.-
hav so decided and we find no re
ported case definitely to the contrary
These decisions are sustained by nu
merous scientific authorities whic''
we do not deem It necessary to re
view. We think tbese decisions ar
right and so hold.
"The briefs filed on behall of n.
pellant refer In complimentary term
to the culture of enlightenment of th
Japanese people and with this esti

but these are matters which can t"
