REPORT ON GASOLINE
MADE TO CONGRESS
Trade Commission in Preliminary
Probe of Price Boost Hints
at Discrimination.

The Federal Trade Commission laid be-
fore Congress yesterday a preliminary
report on the investigation 1t has made
into the increase in the price of gaso-
line, and II is intimated that the investi-
cation has disclosed that there has been
discrimination in prices to localities. The
report is accompanied by twelve statisti-t
are tentative and "due caution should
be used in drawing conclusions from
them" The report shows that Is per
cent Of gasoline produced in the United
States was exported In 1915.
The text of the report describes how
the commission Is conducting the investi-
cation, and 1t is shown that 1t Is the
most comprehensive ever undertaken by
the government in connection with the
production of crude petroleum. its manu-
facturo into gasoline, kerosene, etc.,
marketing, etc.
One table gives the stocks Of crude oil
on hand January 1. 1915, as S3559.ssS bar
rels, and on January /, 1916, 4, 2S6, is3 bar
rels.
In connection with the causes of the
advance in price Of gasoline, the report
says:
"In it's investigation of causes the COM
mission Is considering both domestic and
foreign conditions and Is weighing every
factor to detect any artificial or manipu-
lative element. A letter of inquiry has
been sent to every manufacturer of auto
mobiles, farm tractors, and other gaso-
line engines in the country to ascer-
tain as far as possible the increased out
put of their products and the effect Of
the advance in gasoline prices upon the
demand for their products and upon the
consumption of gasoline"
The report seems to leave the consum-
ers of gasoline and the public generally
In the dark as to just what is causing
the high price of gasoline. but it is de-
clared by the commissions officials that
the report Is only preliminary.

SHEETS RESTAURANT
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Hix Bros. Stock Ruined. Inter
iOr of Building Badly
Damaged.

Yesterday morning about 2 :45
Nightwachman Seitz discovered
smoke issuing from the ventila-
tor pipe in the basement of the
Hix building under Sheets res
taurant. On investigation he
saw that the whole interior of
the basement was ablaze. The
fire company was summoned i'm
mediately and the fight began.
The fire had evidently started in
the south end of the basement
and had gotten good hold be-
fore it was discovered. 1t had
worked up through the walls and
even up between the ceiling and
the roof. The water pressure
was adequate but the fire would
break out in such inaccessible
places that it took about three
hours of the hardest kind of
work to subdue it.
The damage will be consider
able. Sheets restaurant equip
ment, together with his surplus
stock is a complete loss. Hix
Bros. stock is ruined, mostly by
water. The second floor was oc-
cupied by Drs. Snyder & King
cry and Mrs. Stonestreet's dress
making parlors. The equipment
of both Of these is ruined. Mrs
Stonestreet's establishment was
filled with dresses and gowns in
the making, including several
trousseaus.
All the parties carried some in.
surance but probably not
enough to cover the loss.
