URGE DAILY SAVING:
OPPOSE SUNDAY BAN
Motor OlDners Send Protest
to Con9ressn,en.
Special DespotcA 10 TIE sus.


WASHINGTON, Aug. IS Protests
against the Fuel Administrators ban
on the Sunday use OF automobiles were
received to-day from virtually every sec
ton east OF the Mississippi River. Many
objections were sent to Congressman and
officials outside the Fuel Adninistra-
ton from persons who said that the cur
,ailment will be a severe hardship
Many suggested that instead of the
Sunday rule an effort should have been
made to prevent the waste of gasolene
at other times. It was pointed out that
appeals of Food Commissioner Hoover to
the American people to save wheat and
sugar had met with an instantaneous re-
sponse, which tided the allied nations
through the food crisis last spring.
In the face of these protests the Fuel
Administration let 1t be known that its
appeal Is merely the forerunner OF an
order forbidding the use OF gasolene cars
Sundays and possibly one additional day
each week. In virtually all of its as
poets the order in contemplation IL iden-
teal with the industrial suspension and
heatless Monday edicts OF last winter.
Fuel Administration officials estimated
to-day that nearly 100000 gallons of
gasolene will be saved each Sunday
through the operation of the Sunday
rule. East OF the Mississippi there are
approximately 100000 motor vehicles
zoo. 900 being trucks which are exempted
The estimated saving is based on the
use OF an average of two gallons OF gas
oleEe for each car.
Estimates We're made here today that
the gasolene war needs OF the country
are slightly less than 1000, 900 gallons a
day. and that consumption by motor
cars east of the Mississippi Is from
s, coo. 900 to 10000, 900 gallons a day
Reasonable conservation measures, II Is
argued would in the course OF each day
save gasolene equal to the total war de-
mand.

Endorsement Of Representative Walter

nomination petition. Francis Hendricks
Onondaga Republican leader. issued a
statement to-day calling on enrolled
Republicans to support Giles H. Still
well. the dry candidate.
Hendricks has split the organizat ton.
Men who have followed Hendricks for a
quarter of century have turned
against him and are backing Magee.
The dry organization built up during
the recent local option fight Is solidly
behind Stilwell and a split Republican
vote places the State ticket in jeopardy
in this county.
The majority Of the Republican clubs
in the city had Endorsed Magee and
many Of their leaders will follow him
against Hendricks. A night that may
result in Hendricks's overthrow has be-
gun.
Stilwell says Hendricks's Endorsement
makes his nomination certain. Magee

sonally direct whrlwind campaign.

The Fuel Administration replied:

Difficulty of ALLEGATION.

The impelling reason behind the oppo-
sition of the Treasury Department to
the proposed differential between earned
and unearned incomes Is founded OH the
difficulty of alloolting this tax. The
committee has been at loggerheads on
that subject for some time.
The McAdoo letter announced plainly
his opposition to the proviso in the sec
ton OF the bill covering war and excess
prohs, which would force corporations
to pay at least 10 per cent. of their net
profits IL capitalized at 100000 or
more Mr.. McAdoo said that a point
can be reached where raising taxation
rates will not increase revenue.
Mr.. McAdoo's opposition to the differ
entail. on distributed and undistributed
corporate earnings, was n surprise. His
opposition to the differential on earned
and unearned individual incomes was
also rather unexpected, as the commit
tee has understood chat one of the main
reasons for the Administration seeking
higher rate on earned incomes is to
make Liberty bonds a more desirable In
vestment. II is the common belief here
that the coming issue of Liberty bonds
will be exempt from the normal ind!vid-
ual income tax.
Secretary McAdoo will be invited to
confer with the Ways and Means Com
mittee tomorrow.

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., July 13.-One
soldier was killed and FIVE others were
seriously injured at Chambers Corners
shortly after 10 o'clock tonight when
an automobile in which they were rid
ing from Jersey City toward Camden
skidded on an asphalt roadway while
going sixty miles an hour.
The dead man is Sergeant William

Reweds Wife of 18 Years
Captain Makes Doubly Sure
That Ceremony Is Binding

WOODHAVEN, Long Island, July 13
Captain Frank H. Foster, Q. NJ. c.,
has gone through a second marriage
ceremony with the woman who became
his wife eighteen years ago, it was
learned today by the discovery that
they had obtained a.license to rewed.
The second ceremony is unique in
that it did not follow a divorce or
separation of the couple This is Mrs
Fosters third ceremony, although the
army officer is her second husband
Her first husband was DR. P. H. Thomas
who afterward became insane She
procured divorce on the ground of
insanity and married Captain Foster
in 1900
Although no question of the legality
OF the marriage had been raised, when
DR.. Thomas died in a sanatorium a few
weeks ago the couple decided on an
other ceremony at once. Captain Eos
ter came here from his station at Little
Rock, Ark, and after the ceremony re-
turned to his post without delay.

Metals

The heavy demand for steel is shown
IN substantial increase in the amount
Of untitled tonnage on the books of the
United States Steel Corporation at the
end Of June, which aggregated S,91S,S66
tons, as compared with 1887 1928 tons
the month previous, an increase of $751;
243 tons. 1t is estimated that the place
ments during June amounted to $500
600 tons. Steel ingot capacity is reck-
oned at the rate of 43,000000 tons. Rail
mapufacturers have been requested to
submit data Of producing capacity and
untitled orders, which indicates pos
slbility of some heavy government or
ders. Prices of rails, wire rods, chains
and sundry minor rolled products will
soon be determined
Production of pig iron continues
heavy, but distribution under govern
ment direction absorbs it as fast as
turned out. Every effort possible is
made to conserve the output for the
more essential purposes.
Lead is in short supply, and the high
er priced offerings have been we'll
cleaned up, which will cause prices to
New York and 7.75c East st. Louis.
Demand is accentuated by the light Of
ferings.
Spelter continues inactive and rather
easy at quotations of sS9 &c New York
and $3.50 East ST. Louis.
Copper production is no more than
sufficient to meet requirements, which
are almost all on government account.
The established price is 26c. but there
are outstanding contracts vet to be
filled at 2312c.
Consumers show comparatively little
interest IN tin. Arrivals have been
heavy, and no further fear of shortaqe
IS expressed. The market abroad is
firmer and is reflected in the HIGHER
cost of spot tin on this side. which is
held at 95c to 81. Singapore shipments
are quoted at S71sc for August Septem-
Der, but offerings are light.
