The Fairbanks Times gives the credit for having created different sentiment with reference the kind of needed for public office in Alaska It states that the old reaconary element has generally been replaced by progressive element In other words that the people them selves taking the burden of saying who shall conduct their municipal affairs. Under the old methods they largely relieved of this responsibility. The Times says
 "A noticeable feature of the municipal elections held in Alaska in April, the of reform in politics which swept the territory. In almost all
 the municipalities the former bosses of city affairs down to defeat while progressive yet conserva- tive, element seated in office. The influence of the is considered to have been factor largely responsible for the change.'

WARBURG HEARING ENDS
Nomination to Federal Reserve
Board Deferred.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The hearing Of
Paul NJ. Warburg was completed by the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit
tee to-day, but because of the necessity
of considering financial legislation ac-
ito non the nomination was deferred.
Senator Bristow continued his exami-
nation of Mr.. Warburg, but other mem
bers of the committee held aloof for
the most part.
Every effort is being made by the
Democratic leaders of the Senate TO
hasten action on the Wsrburg nomina-
ton on the ground that it is of extreme
Importance that the Federal Reserve
Board be organized as speedily as pos
sible. Until the President sends to the
Senate the nomination of the director
to the place TO which Thomas d. Jones
was originally appointed the Senate
will probably take no steps to confirm
Warburg.
Opposition to the New York banker
will undoubtedly appear when the ap-
polntment is taken up for consideration
in the Senate, but il is expected that
this will not seriously delay his con-
tirmation.

SAYS GULF CO. CUT
OIL RATES FIRST
Witness Asserts Standard
Merely Defended Itself

The Gulf Refining Company, and not
the Standard Oil Company. began the
rate cutting war in New Jersey which
has been such a boon to automobiles
in that state for the last three months,
according to testimony yesterday in
the Crew-Levick Oil Company suit
against the Mutual Oil Company.
Moreover. the Mutual is not, as has
been supposed, subsidiary of The
Standard.
Judge Sullivan, who took the cvi-
dence in Jersey City, gave no decision,
but intimated that a complaint would
lie against the Gulf company. $780,
100000 Texas concern, which has oeen
leading the gasolene war against the
Standard in New Jersey. Both sides
will submit briefs.
The contention Of the Crew-LevIek
company was that the Standard,
through its alleged subsidiary, the
Mutual, cut prices in Hudson County
and not in other parts of New Jersey,
thereby violating the provisions of the
seven sisters" acts passed at the be-
hest of President Wilson when he was
Governor.
William II. Lawdham, manager Of
the Crew-Levick company. testified
that on May 1 the price Of gssolene
was 10 cents. and on May Is it was
1914 cents. By June it had droppe !
to lOi4 cents, he said, in Hudson
County, though it remained at I2; in
Essex County.
These cuts continued up to July IL,
the witness said, when the prices in
the two counties became uniform at
9ia cents. Since then. he said, the
price had obtained throughout the
state.
The Mutual company was eliminated
from the suit when il was shown that
it was not an ofshoot Of the Standard.
Counsel for the Standard Oil Cora
pany argued that when the Gulf Rcfin-
ing Company began the rate cutting
the Standard had a right to defend
itself by reducing prices, -.-...
