PUPILS FROM OTHER
COUNTIES MUST PAY TUITION

A recent ruling of the Terrell
county board of education is that
pupils from other counties must pay
tuition. This ruling has met with
some objection by some patrons of
the county schools, but the board
holds that when they admit pupils
from other counties to the schools
of Terrell free they are doing an in
justice to the children of this coun-
ty by lessening the amount of money
to be expended on each pupil with
out hope of compensation from the
foreign pupil.

and the dirt from the ditch had been
spread on the new section of road,
therefore the driver did not see the
danger until too late to stop the car:
Mr.. Fuller's arm was badly sprained
and Miss Clark of Cuthbert, who was
visiting the home of Mr.. Jordan, was
pinioned under the car and had one
of her hips dislocated.

CAUSING DISQUIETUDE

Tokio, Japan, April 13.--The revolution in China is causing some disquietude in Japan, where the opinion is held that it will be difficult for Yuan Shi Kai to re- tain the presidency. In well informed cir eles military intervention by Japan is re- garded as extremely improbable, unless the lives and interests of Japanese sub- jects should be imperilled Should inter- vention become necessary, Japan presum- ably would act on the behalf of her allies, on account of the fact that they are oc- cupied by the war
 Reports that the entente has given Ja- pan free hand in China are dscredited. Officials reaffirm the determination of the government not to interfere in Chinese af- fairs.
 The opinion expressed in some quarters, but not officially, is in favor of the with drawal of Yuan Sinai kai and the sub- st1tution of stable government which would be more favorably disposed toward cooperation with Japan in the future de- velopment of the far east

GOVERNMENT ID SEE F GASOI.INE PRICE IS WRONGF JULY HIGH Department of Justice to See If Prosecutions
 Can Be Brought
 Under Law

Washington. April 13.-Evidence reiat- ing to the rise in gasoline is being con sidered by the department of justice with a view. it is understood, to determining fl prosecution can be brought under the law as it stands or whether additional legis- lation will be required.
 Attorney General Gregory declined to- cay to give the Senate the information sought in the Kenyon resolution regard ing the results of an investigation oi the working of the supreme courts Stand ard oil decree on the ground that to do SC would be incompatible with the public interest. This development and the reap rearance of Charles B. Morrison of Chl- cago in connection with the case strength ened the belief that the department had rot finished it's investigation and gave rise to the report that department Of ficials had requested MT. Morrison to look into the gasoline situation with vlew to further prosecution. Mir. Morrison aid ed the department in the prosecution of the dissolution suit.
 The investigation conducted by the de- partment in cooperation with the federal trade commission has disclosed a wide variation in prices in the east and middle west. Whether a discriminatory scale of prices was maintained under which ii would be impossible for gasoline to flow freely from the midcontinent field of pro- dUction into the middle west, has beer E1oer investigation. In some places, ii is said, the line of demarkation in price was sharply drawn, notably on the Ohio river. On the north bank of the river the frye stiaation is said to disclose prices were two cents per gallon higher at one time than on the south side. a mile or ST away.
 The dissolution recree. it is understood, Is viewed by officials as a failure in cer- tain respects, one of the chief of which is that the great transportation system of pipe ines constructed by the com bine is left in the hands of it's original owners and Is operated, legally, under re- strictions which make it unavailable as a conmon carrier to small independent producers.
 Whether the dissolution decree has pre- vented the so-cas jed Standard Oil sub salaries from distrieting the United sdates amcng themselves, thereby avoid- ing competition with one another. like wise has been investigated. The investi- gaticr is said to disclose that there is no real competition today among the various e nps ries that went to make up the oil trust The question that has arisen in this connection lately is whether the de- cree permits this state of affairs.
