WASHINGTON. April 24.-Domina- ton of the gasoline industry by Stand ard Oil interests. the federal trade commission reported to the senate to- day has been largely responsible for high gasoline prices the last two years. The report, written after eX- haustive investigation into the entire petroleum industry, declares inter locking stock ownership prevents any real competition among the various Standard Oil Companies and the com mission recommends legislation to permit re-opening of the oil trust case to obtain modification of the supreme courts dissolution decree.
 No conclusive evidence was found it is stated, that collision exists among the Standard companies in violation of the decree but the com missions findings have been trans mitted to the attorney general. Prices are declared to have been raised ar bitrarily through natural causes con tributed. Pronounced price inequali- ties were found in different parts of

 Joseph II. Choate and former Judge Peter s. Grosscup were tine principal speakers. Frank B. Moves, president of the association was toastmaster.

is that only two British machines are missing.
 German trains rushing reinforce ments to the front were attacked and transport columns on the roads were bombed and completely disorganized. In several instances the British ma chine came low over the fighting lines and poured machine gun fire into the German ranks. Tn doing this. machines have deliberately crossed the fire of their own as well as the enemy's guns
 The greatest fight yet, oddly enough, was a drawn battle. One Of the Brit ish pilots met a brilliant German flier. and for a full hour the men man. euvered in a most marvellous manner without either being able to bring his gun to bear on the other. They rolled, looped, twisted. deliberately stalled their engines and. standing the ma chimes on their tail. slid backwards through the air. but all to no avail. It probably was the most wonderful air duel the war has yet seen.

U. 5. Steel Breaks
 Record In Profits

NEW YORK. April 24.-All prev ious high records of the United States Steel Corporation. both as to earnings and dividends. were surpass- ed in the first quarterly report for the current year issued today.
 Earnings reached $I1S.12l.01S more than the corporation has earned in ' full year in some instances, and an extra dividend of 3 per cent was de clared on the common stock in addi- tion to the regular quarterly dividend of 1h per cent.
 The three per cent extra makes up. with about 1 per cent to spare, for the deferred dividends during 1914 and 1915.
 Regarding trade prospects. Chair man T. H. Gary said after today's meeting of the board of directors:

 The mistakes that England made in military way early in the war were explained today by Lieut.. General Bridges. veteran of nine wars and the first British officer to meet the Ger mans. The volunteer system. he said. had cost England thousands of her best lives. demOralized her whole in dustrial mobilization and set the coun- try back immeasurably in the prosecu tion of the war Now. he added. con scription had come to be regarded with almost fanatical devotion oy the people as the only democratic way or distributing the duties of war and all lowing a scientific marshalling Of the nations resources.

 The principal findings Of the com mission are:
 That in most marketing territories the Standard Companies are domin- ant.
 That the Standard Companies have maintained a distribution of territory in marketing gasoline and that no substantial competition in the chief petroleum products exists among the Standard Companies.
 That the absence of competition is due to a community of stockowner- ship.
 That the facts disclose advances in prices of gasoline and differences cor responding to Standard marketing ter ritories which could not be explain ed except under the conditions charg- ed

 WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE. via London. April 24. Q0:30 p. m).-The intensely bitter ground fighting Of the last two days has been reflected in the air. and the British royal flying corps yesterday establish ed a new record by bringing down forty German machines. Fifteen of these were actually seen to crash while 25 collapsed or fell in spinning nose dives, completely out of control.
 The fights took place 15,00 feet in the air, from which distince it is barely possible to see the ground and wholly impossible to see an adversary crash unless the pilot deliberately fol- lows down. Such a course is not fef sible where the fighting has taken on the character of a general melee, as is often the case. A remark able part of yesterdays performance

 WASHINGTON, April 24.-Food conditions in several entente na- tions have been reported to the American government as critical and President Wilson and his cab inet today concentrated their at tention upon what is being done to conserve the food supply of the United States and to provide ad- . ditional ships to carry produce to Europe.
 Realizing that it will take time to make more plentiful American harvests the immediate object of the government will be to prevent waste and systematize the distri- button and exportation of food stuffs so that the best possible , use can be made of present sup plies.

 Preliminary conferences with the British commission now here, and word received from American diplomats and commercial attach es abroad have convinced admin istration officials that the food Problem is grave and that the sit uation is constantly growing worse.

RUSS RADICALS STORM U. 5.
 EMBASSY
Reused By False Reports of Killing of Mooney, Bomber Convicted of San Francisco Explosions.
(By Review Leased Wire)

PETROGRAD, April 23, via London. April 24-An effort by a small group of ultra-radicals to make an unfriendly demonstration before the American embassy today was frustrated by mili- tiamen as the radicals marched down the Nevsky Prospect on their way to the embassy.
 The demonstration was headed by Nikolai Lenine. the radical socialist leader who recently arrived here through Germany from Switzerland with a safe conduct from the German authorities. The demonstration is said to have been due to the alleged killing in America of an anarchist named Mooney who was under sen tence in San Francisco.
 A guard was sent by the authorities to protect the embassy.
