SfflllHG OF OIL
PRICE IIP TO U.S,,
WEB DEMES
The price of crude oil and gaso
line at the refineries sometimes fluc
tuate in a very close range of prices,
but the recent “skyrocketing” of the
price of a gallon of gasoline in
Georgia by three jumps of two cents
each was "wholly unjustifiable,” At
torney General George M. Napier
declared Saturday.
“An advance of even one cent per
gallon on all the gasoline sold in
Georgia in one week amounts to a
fortune,” the attorney general
added.
Attorney General Napier has becrt
investigating the condition of the
crude oil market, and asserted that
crude oil was costing approximately
40 cents per barrel more than it is
costing now when gasoline sold at 20
cents per gallon. He charges the
increases to the Standard Oil com
pany, and explains why the inde
pendent companies are to a larg
extent unable to hold down the
price, if they desired to do so.
The only hope of regulating tiff
prices of gasoline appears to lie it;
joint action by the federal govern
ment and the various state govern
ments, in the opinion of A ioine'
General Napier, who gave out a
statement Saturday, dealing a,t
’ length with the situation of the gaso
* line market.

gave up the post of director gen
eral of th? railways on January 11,
1919. After a three months’ rest in
California, he entered the law firm
of Cotton & Franklin in accor
dance with an agreement previously
made.
‘When did you begin service with
Mr. Dcheny?” asked Senator Walsh.
“November 3, 1919,” was the re
ply.
Asked if thc-to had been any ar
rangement while he was in the cab
inet to enter the .service of Mr.
(Doheny, Mr. McAdoo replied in the
negative, adding that he had not
met Mr. Doheny until after he had
retired from office.
Mr. McAdoo’s statement follows:
“I think it may fairly he presumed
that, if my name was not prominent
ly mentioned in connect on with high
office, my private practice as a law
yer would he of no interest to th!.--
, committee, or to the public.”
Asserting that the “faith of the
people in their own government is
i shaken” because of the develop
inents in the oil inquiry, he declar
ed “this question transcends political
parties and partisan considerations”
and that “the first duty, the impera
five duty of the hour, is mercilessly
i to uncover and to bring to public
view and scorn and punishment ev
ery one who has betrayed the public
trust or who has been guilty of
wrongdoing in this humilating and
dangerous affair.”
“Crime Against Public”
“It would be a. crime against the
public ” he said, “if the dragging of
innocent people into this affair
should divert attention from the
guilty to prevent the discovery of
those who have betrayed the public
Interest."

CHARLESTON. —Letter addressed (
from France before the World war ;
ended to D. G. Ritchie, who was I
paymaster at navy yard here, was i
received here last week, and is he- I
ing forwarded to Mr. Ritchie, now I
stationed on Hawaiian islands. De-1
out its life. When the Harding ad
ministration came in, Secretary
Hughes adopted the same policy.
This policy was insisted upon by
the American commissioners to Mex
ico; Messrs War: ■* and Payne, and,
as I understand it, was practically
made a condition of recognition of
Mexico by the United States.
“During the year 1918, I was di
rector general of the railroads of
the United States. The fuel prob
lem was one of the most serious
with which we-had to deal. I was
t.ren made to realize keenly the tre
mendous importance of fuel oil from
Mexico. A great number of Amer
ican industries along the Atlantic
dependent upon Mex
ican fuel oil. ■ The preservation of
’his fuel oil supply was*then and
is now essential to our internal
economy. Not alone is this true,
but the question of an adequate oil
supply and of an adequate oil re
serve is one of the most important
for any nation under conditions of
modern warfare. In fact, the cru
cial test in the next war, if one
should come, is going to be not alone
war machinery and appliances, but
control of an adequate supply of
petroleum to meet the needs of na
tional defense and offense. It is
no exaggeration to say that tne
strongest nation in petroleum re
sources will be the most likely vic
tor in such a contest. For all of
tlmse reasons, therefore, the Amer
ican government and the American
peorle were interested in preserving
the Mexican oil supply which was
lawfully owned or controlled by
American citizens.
Pan America Closely Allied
“In 1915 I called the first Pan-
American financial conference in
Washington It was attended by all
the South and Central American re
publics except Mexico, which then
was in a state of revolution. The
following year I attended the first
session of the international high
commission of all the South and Cen
tral American republics at Buencs
Aires in the Argentine. At this ses
sion were discussed economic, i'i
nan. ; al and other problems of great
consequence to the whole of Latin-
America and I gained a familiarity
'with conditions prevailing through
the South and Central America
which could not Have been secured
in any other way. I was deeply in
terested not alone in these economic
and financial problems but in pro
moting closer and hotter relations
between the United States and all
of these republics.
“Mr. Doheny’s companies as well
as Mr. Doheny enjoyed an enviable
reputation when he called on me in
1919. His companies were the out
standing independent oil companies
furnishing the required supply of
Mexican fuel oil to our industries
along the Atlantic seaboard. They
wore also the only strong companies
offering competition with the so
va'led ‘oil trust’ in the United States.
For the purpose of preserving com
petition and securing the essential
supplies of fuel oil four our indus
tries' along the Atlantic seaboard,
it was highly desirable to protect,
by every legitimate and proper
means, the oil bearing properties
of American citizens in Mexico.
Was Protecting Nation
“When Mr. Doheny, therefore,
asked my firm to act for him pro
fessionally in trying to prevent the
confiscation of his valuable petro
leum properties in Mexico, repre
senting several hundred million dol
lars, it appealed to me because of
my general knowledge of the oil
industry and of. the Mexican and
Latin-American relations gained in
the manner I have described, and
*ecau;-e it was in line with the de
clared policy of the administration
to protect American properties
against confiscation in Mexico.
“I believed that an opportunity
was presented tojrender a genuine
service, outside of my professional
wofk, in promoting Latin-American
commerce, and more particularly'in
'contributing to the protection of ail
American rights in Mexico, if. retro
active and confiscatory effect to ar
ticle 27 of the Mexican constitution
would be prevented.
"This, with my letter of Febru
ary 7, 1924, gives the history of my
professional connection with the Do
heny companies. The service I have
rendered to them was in good faith
and in full satisfaction for the tees
that have been paid. 1 owe them
nothing and they owe me nothing.”
Mr. McA'loo declared he had sev
ere i i .s professional relations with
DU v on February 2, the day
all the oil magnate last appeared
before the committee.
llis resignation as counsel was sub
mitted on February 2, he said—the
day after Doheny, testifying before
th© committee, first revealed their
connection. He said he had advised
Doheny only on Mexican affairs
“1 think 1 may say that if he hafi
c.dviseo me about this matter,” he
i io■!, "he never would have gotten

Mr. McAdoo said Doheny was mis- !
taken in saying that his services j
here for the Doheny companies ■
ended with the passing of the Wil- \
son administration. In 1921 he said !
he appeared before Under Secretary ;
of State Fletcher to “earnestly” ex- :
press the hope that the Mexican |
policy of the Harding administration j
would be as vigorous as was that of |
the Wilson administration.
Thinks Doheny Guilty
Asked by Chairman Lenroot if he t
regarded Mr. Doheny “equally as
guilty” as Mr. Fall in the oil lease
matter, Air. McAdoo said:
“Not equally. But I think he’s
guilty of a very serioug matter.”
“Os course, I don’t undertake to
express a judgment until your evi
dence is completed. Therefore, I say
it appears.”
rite former secretary said natu- i
rally he had felt some indignation
that his name had bden brought into !
the investigation.
“I think any honest man would ;
feel precisely the same way.”
Senator Dill, Democrat, Washing- j
ton, wanted to know if Doheny de
livered the $1(10,000 retainer fee paid
Mr. McAdoo’s New York firm “in a
satchel.”
“He did not, sir,” Mr. McAdoo re
plied. “It came to me in the form I
of a check.”
Chairman Lenroot said he wished
to explain “outside of the record”
that the questions which had been
put to Mr. Doheny and which re
sulted in the disclosure of Mr. Mc-
Aooo’s employment as counsel had
been at the request of Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri.
“It was in these questions that
your name was brought out as one
of his counsel,” Chairman Lenroot
said. “Do you think this commit
tee would have been justified in re
fusing the request of Senator Reed?”
Wants Full Disclosures
“No, sir,” Mr. McAdoo replied. “Il
am glad .you brought it out. I hope
the committee will continue its in- :
vestigations and bring out all the i
facts. 1 think the matter of my em- j
ployment is absolutely and wholly
irrelevant to' thus inquiry as it is
not concerned -with it, but, neverthe
less, I am perfectly willing to have
the committee inquire into it. If it
will aid the committee in unearthing I
the people who have been guilty of
wrong-doing I am, glad to have it
brought out.”
Asked “what service” he had per
formed as counsel for Doheny, he
said:
"Special counsel, acting in an ad
visory capacity in such matters as,
were presented to me from time to :
time.”
“He has not advised with' you
about any matters except Mexican
matters?”
“Oitr professional relations began
in that connection and continued in
’that connection. I have never been
consulted in his oil leases, lie has
had other attorneys for that work.
He was free to ask me about all
matters, and if he had consulted me
about the oil matters I would have
advised him.”
Prince of Wales
Breaks Collarbone
In Fall From Horse
LONDON, Feb. 8—(By the As
sociated Press.) —The prince of
Wales broke his collarbone while
exercising one of his hunters at
Billington Manor, near Ascot this
morning.
The prince was putting his mount
over a fence when the horse fell
throwing his rider heavily on his
shoulder. The prince got up and
was remounting with difficulty
when his equerry said “I believe
you’ve broken your collarbone.”
“Yes, I have,” Wales replied.
The prince was taken to the sur
gery at Leighton Buzzard, where he
received treatment and was driven
'back to Mentmore mansion. He wore 1
no cellar when he emerged from j
the surgery and his shoulder was
in bandages, but he was still smil- i
ing.
Wales had eighteen hunters ,at i
Leighton Buzzard and was expecting I
to do much hunting with the Wad :
don Chase hounds. He had gone over- I
night to Mentmore Mansion with I
Lord Dalmeny, prior, to the meet of !
the Waddon Chase this morning at j
Ascot, lie was astir early, taking!
several hunters over to Billington j
Manor, the property of Sir Richard !
Cooper, to give them a preliminary !
gallop. It was while putting his '
mount over a stiff fence that the ;
accident happened.

MELLON W. BILL
ITTIIUIWMEET
—,
i WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Decision
by Republican house leaders to take
up the Mellon tax bill in the house
next Thursday and to hold it be
fore that body until disposed of was
communicated to President Coolidge
today by Representative Longworth,
of Ohio, the Republican leader, and
Chairman Snell, of the house rules
I committee.
I The two house leaders discussed
! with the president the legislative pro
| gram of their body, and told him
i tjiat an attempt would be made to
I consider major legislation in this or
jder: Taxes, immigration,. Muscle
! Shoals and soldier bonus, with appro
i priation measures sandwiched in be
tween.
The president also was told that
house leaders proposed to make
everj'- effort to adjourn by June 1,
and that they considered Lax legis
lation as bf supreme importance.
In discussing, with the executive,
the possibilities of passage of the
Mellon bill, Representative Long
worth declared that it would be im
possible to obtain house approval
for the surtax rate of 25 per cent
embodied in the Mellon bill, and
recommended by the president. The
best possible rate to be hoped for,
Mr. Longworth said, would be more
than 25 per cent, but considerably
less than 44 per cent as proposed
by Democrats.
The leaders plan, on taking up
the tax bill, to sidetrack temporarily
J appropriation measures, but to con
I sider the supply bills, should the
I tax debate be prolonged.
I No arrangements thus far have
! been made for placing of railroad
I legislation on tire program.
Representative Begg, Republican,
Ohio, who completed today a poh
of the Republican state delegations,
said the Mellon surtax rates were
i doomed. The maximum, he added,
■ would have to be fixed at between
32 and 40 per cent. The committee
had reported the Mellon rate of 25.
per cent. The present rate is 50
■ per cent.
Vote Expected in r i..o Weeks
Chairman Green of the house ways
, and means committee, who will re
> ■ port the revenue bill to the house
Monday, said after a conference to
day with Representatives Long
i worth and Snell and Spaker Gillett
that an effort would be made to
i get the measure through the house
i within two weeks, the minimum
i time in which it is considered the
’ bill may be brought to a vote.
Aside from the expected fight
1 over the surtaxes, the Democrats
' have served notice they will seek
lower ,normal rates than contained
i fit the committee bill, while many
members have declared they will of
fer amet Iments seeking revision of
the war excise taxes, many of which
already have been repealed. Repre

sary reserves, all profits are returned to the borrowing farmers
through their local associations. To date, over $7,000,000 has
I been paid as dividends.
