STANDARD TEST
|. ON GASOLINE TO
Be MAINTAINED

There will be MO further letting
down of the bars for the admittance
into Oregon of gasoline of lower than
o6 degrees specific gravity, unless the
existence of an actual gasoline famine
should result in q demand from the cor
sumer for such action. This was the
decision announced by w. A. Dalzell,
deputy sealer of weights and measures
following q conference in the execu-
tive offices Monday afternoon, attend
ed by Governor Olcott, State Treasurer
Hoff, w. r. Donaldson of the Stand
ard Oil company; v. H Kelley of the
Union Oil company; A. D. Parker of
the Associated Oil company and ]. G.
Storey of the Shell Oil company.
AT a conference two weeks ago per-
mission was granted to the Standard
and Associated Oil companies to ship
in a supply of gasoline of lower test
than the 56 degrees required by the
state law in order to meet an emergen-
cy which was said to exist at that
time. Under this permit the Standard
Oil company shipped into the state six
thousand barrels of gasoline testing
54.6 degrees which has been distribut-
ed throughout the state and used, ac
cording to the statement of r. DonM
aldson, without any complaint on the
part of the. consumer who was unable
to detect any difference in the quail
ity of the oil.
At Mondays meeting it was freely
predicted by the oil men-and especial
ly by the Standard and Associated rep
resentatives-that the enforcement of
the Sc degree test would result in a
gasoline famine in Oregon sooner or
later. The demand it was stated, was
growing so much more rapidly than
the supply that it was impossible to
provide the gasoline of the higher grav-
ity test in the required quantity.
Governor Oicott stated during the
conference that he shad been informed
by reliable parties that steps would be
taken to enforce the law providing for
the Sc degree test if the state officials
granted further concessions to the oil
companies. Garage and automobile
men, he declared, were of the opinion
that the oil companies were trying to
put something over on the state in
their claims of gasoline shortage and
it was up to the state officials to en-
force the provisions of law enacted
by the representatives of the people,
regardless Of any individual views as
to whether the law was good one.
Gasoline now sold in eastern Oregon
and testing as high as 81 and So de-
grees specific gravity is not of as good
quality as the lower test gasoline used
in western Oregon, it was stated by
Mr.. Donaldson who explained that the
specific gravity test has no relation
whatever to the quality of gasoline
which is determined only by the boil
ing point and end tests.
A suggestion by State Treasurer
Hoff to the effect that gasoline of
a lower test be sold under another
name at lower price was declared to
be impractical by the oil men. Case

TELEGRAPH COMPANY
DENIES ERROR BLAME

For transmitting message to VOL
leott, Indiana, wherein the word coats -
was wired as fears" and thereby caus-
ling loss of several hundred dollars to
Phillip Stortz, the Western Union, in
answering the complaint of Mr.. Stortz,
says it should not be held liable.
The telegraph company in its answer
to the complaint, falls back on the VARY
GUS conditions that are printed ON the
back of the telegram and also to the
fact that the sender did not require
that the telegram be repeated and sent
back here, for approval, which is often
done where special care is required.
The Western Union also alleges in its
answer, that it was the fault of the mar
who received the telegram in Indiana,
because he did not take action to correct
the ambiguity in the message.
& On April 26, 1918, Mr.. Stortz wired to
his manager at Wolcott, Indian, "You
sell my oats noY for what you can get.
| see they are coming down.. BY the
time the message reached Indiana ana
was taken off the wire, the message
read, "You sell my ears. There was
much delay and letters written, as the
manager in Indiana didn't understand
what was meant by instructions to sell
ears.
Finally by mail, it was made known
that Mr.. Stortz wanted his oats sold but
in the meantime the market had been
%lling, causing a material loss. Due tc
the faulty message, Mr. Stortz thinks
the Western Union should foot the bill
for his losses.

TWO APPO|NTEES
BARRED FROM BAY
Say Van PeIt and Walters
Were Refused CoastWise Iden-
LITIGATION Cards During War

The appointments to city offices by
Mayor Frank Dorsey and the Board
of Aldermen on Monday night have
been the centre of comment in this
city since Monday. Remarks about
the various a~ppointees have been fav-
orable and otherwise.
On the shorefront, where CONVEX
sation centres about the appointment
of q new board of harbor commits
.sioners and the reappointment of
William Walters as harbor master
and port warden, the comment has
been anything but favorable, particu-
larry among the class of boatmen and
longshoremen who do not favor the
Illicit trade which has gone on for
years among coal pirates and which
was so well cleaned up by the retiring
harbor board and the Customs Intel
ligence Service.
1t a pointed out yesterday
through the latter service that two
of the appointees had, during the
duration of the war, been denied the
right to in any way travel on waters
contiguous to this city.
These men were William F. VAN
Pelt, keeper of a boathouse in Front
street, who resides at 1875 Rector
street, and who was named as one of
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-01-10

the harbor commissioners by Mayor
Dorsey, and William Walters, like
wise q boathousekeeper, who resides
at 27o Water street and who was re-
appointed harbor master and port
warden by the Board Of Aldermen.
These men with several others from
this vicinity were refused coastwise
identification cards which were neces-
sary for any person travelling On a
boat In these waters during the period
of the war. The ban has since been
lifted. The refusal was by direction
of the New York office of the Gus
toms Intelligence Service.
Other local men who were denied
these Identification cards were Walter
Merwin, a boatman and wrecker, and
Peter Coogan, a wholesale junk deal
er whose operations were conducted
on the water; Walters son and David
A~ndrovette Of Kreischerville, S. 1.
1t was in a general discussion of
the appointments that these facts
were disclosed.
The men in the Customs Intelll-
gence Service are known as detectives
of the sea. They are vested with al
most national police power to clean
up all vic conditions as well as vio-
lations of the customs and espionage
laws. Word has gone around the
world that, in the vernacular of the
sea, "the port of New York is rat
tight" Raritan bay is considered a
part of the port of New York. The
men who operated here with the serv-
ice, were under the collector of the
port of New York and they have
gained the reputation of having kept
Raritan bay rat tight.
In addition to their work with the
marine traffic and the cleaning up OF
evil conditions on the waterfront they
were responsible for several raids and
arrests among enemy aliens here dur
ing the period of the a Some OF
these aliens are now serving terms In
. federal prisons while others are In
detention camps.

In order to relieve the congestion and
also to relieve the cars In which the
fuel is loaded.
Perth Amboy is $4,000 tons OF GOAL
short of requirements. This city needs
DO, 1000 ton of anthracite fuel TO sup
ply the demand and only $4,000 tons
have been received.
This condition is brought about by
the shortage Of 1907 900 toni of fuel
in the United States. One-third Of this
go tage is in New Jersey. Newark
alone is confronted with a shortage
of $4,000 tons. It is maintained by
the fuel administration, however,
that New Jersey is a state of railroads
and should the coal be needed hur-
riedly, 1t can be sent here in a few
hours. States which are located the
greatest distance from the mines are
receiving their supply first. There is
enough coal in the state, however,
to meet all the present demands.
