Great Britain is threatened with
a strike of motor car owners who are
in open rebellion against the recent
increases in The price of gasolene.
The first big rise was made during
the transport strike of last year,
which held up the usual supply OF
gasolene, but with the resumption
of normal conditions there was no
corresponding reduction of price.
This caused mutterings among the
motorists, but no action was taken
until the present dock strike, when
the price again scared to such a
height that the retail cost is almost
double what it was two years ago.
The first definite action to give
voice to the complaint of the motor
lists was a meeting Of the Royal
Automobile club, at which the head
of one of the eading motor spirit
companies had an uncomfortable
hour in trying to explain the reasons
for the rise. The club members did
not hesitate to declare that they
were not satisfied with the explana-
ton, and they have entered upon a
definite campaign 10 force the oil
interests to lower the price of gaso-
lene. =
Two reasons are given by the oil
men for the increase: The first, the
rules of the Port of London Author
ity which prohibits the storage OF
large quantities of ;he spirit in Lon
don, thereby increasing the cost OF
handling 1t, and, secondly, that the
steadily increasing demand for re-
fined motor spirits has left a large
quantity of heavier oils on hand,
which is a dead loss to the oil COM
panies unless a market car be found
for it.

Londoh. Aug. 19.-Huntcd down by
British soldiers In the depths Of the
jungles of Central Africa, where for
years, In defiance of all authority, he
had pursued the career of elephant
poacher and Illicit ivory trader. James
Wood Rogers, an American. Is dead.
He was shot down by little force
of troops which had been sent into
the wilderness with orders not to re-
turn without the outlaw, dead or alive.
News of Rogers death came
formally today to the British colonial
office from Captain c. v. Fox, in
spector of Mongolia province. who
commanded the expedition. Although
told In an official report, the story re-
vealed Is one of the most dramatic In
colonial annals.
Rich and Defiant.
For years Rogers had carried on his
lawless trade which popular opinion
credited with netting him fortune
The remote regions along the Lado
Enclave and Congo boundaries were
the scenes of his operations. Time
after time British officials of the
Sondan had tried In vain to trap him.
1t was his defiance of years which
determined the government to crush
the old man.
Captain Fox's report shows that In
his long operations. Rogers had done
more than had been dreamed of by the
colonial office. He, had established an
organized administration over the Wild.
trackless country. and among the
natives was a virtual. II uncrowned

In his report. the tribute that Rogers
work was worthy of better cause.
Not since the explorer Henry NJ.
Stanley pierced the junglcs In 1871
and found DIR. Livingstone, has such
tale OF hardships. trials and dangers
come out of Africa. Captain Fox's
report. I'm this respect, resembles most
nearly perhaps the tale of General
Funston's dogged pursuit OF Aguinaldo
In the Philippines.
For the purpose of tracking the out
law, the English commander was given
a non commissioned subordinate and
six Soudanese soldiers. Body carriers
and mules for the transportation of
supplies were part of his equipment.
His instructions were plain--not to
return until the outlaw was captured.
With n soldiers disregard for red
tape, Captain Fox. In his report, falls
to mention dates In describing the
man hunt. Apparently the denone-
ment of the jungle drama came three
months ago.
The pursuers then had spent weeks
plunging through the jungle that
almost defied passage, Rogers cum
ningly leading them thronya the

oyertaken he had crossed the Nile into
