Girl Is Given
 21 Years for
 Murder of Man

Knoxville, Tenn; Dec. 6.-Maude Moore was this evening convicted of murder in the first degree and sea- fenced to 21 years in the penitea- tiary by jury before which she was tried on the charge of killing Leroy Harth, prominent business man, with whom she went riding one night last September. A motion for new trial was entered and probably will come up next Saturday. In the meantime the young woman will re- main in jail, her bondsmen having surrendered her.
 It was the theory of the prosecu- tion that Miss Moore and Martin Hunter, an acquaintance of hers, planned to lure Harth away from the city and rob him. The prosecution contended Miss Moore telephoned Harth and arranged to meet him at 9:3 Oo'clock and carried her revolver in her hand bag to keep the appoint ment; that when they were about eight miles from the city she at- tempted to rob Harth and a fight ensued in the automobile. The state alleged an effort on the part of Miss Moore and Hunter to escape, citing the fact that the women had checked her baggage at the Louisville and Nashville railway station.
 Miss Moore asserted she met Harth by appointment and that despite her protests he carried her off down Kingston pike to spot about eigkt miles from the city where his actions were such she shot him.

OIL PRODUCERS
 ARE ATTACKED
 AS BROTHERS
Prosecution of Western Inter- ests Is Ordered by Attorney
 General Palmer.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Prosecution of western oil producers for alleged profiteering was ordered today by Attorney General Palmer On conn., plaint filed by Senator Capper of Kansas, federal agents were instruct ed to proceed against producers who have taken advantage of the coal shortage to advance the price of their product.
 Simultaneously the railroad ad- ministration established an embar- go, effective Monday, against ship ments of fuel oil from the west points east of Chicago and St. Louis. This action, it was explained, was necessary to conserve the small SUD- plies of coal available for the terri tory west of the Mississippi river and to compel, where possible, the use of fuel oil instead.
 Oil producers, Senator Capper said, have increased their prices from $1 a barrel before the strike to nearly $4.50 barrel. Declaring that scores of industrial plants in the west had converted their fuel equip ment for oil consumption since the SCIlhc began, OcIdCOI CdppcT Sdlu the increase in oil prices had placed a burden on them.
 Senator Capper also asked the de- partment of justice to investigate complaints that the oil producers had "got together" on prices. He said the quotations made by the big con- cerns were practically on even terms.
 The embargo was expected to aid in forcing down the prices. While it will not entirely prohibit the ship ment of fuel oil eastward, it pro- vides a permit system which will give the regional fuel officials direct knowledge of purposes for which the oil is to be used and will make it necessary to haul coal from eastern mines to the districts from which the oil came.
 Oil for export will continue to be moved, subject only to the permit regulations. The shipment of refin- ed oils in their regular trade chan nels also will be disturbed and in- dustrial plants which employed oil as fuel prior to November 1, will be allowed to go thru.
 Regulations governing the fuel oil movement will be directed by w. L. Barnes, assistant car service man. aper for the railroad administration, Chicago. He has been instructed to hold a tight rein over the oil ship mentS.

One Auto Here
 For Every Four
 County Families

Pine Bluff has an automobile for every four families, according to calculation based on the records of Chief Deputy Sheriff and Tax Col lector Frank Miner which show that 2,145 automobiles have been licen- sed in this county, and estimates of the number of machines owned in the city and of the population.
 More than two-thirds of the cars licensed in Jefferson are owned in Pine Bluff it is estimated. Easing calculations on five persons to the family, and estimating there are B. 500 families in Pine Bluff, it is shown that there is one auto for ev- cry four families or for every 20 per sons in the city.
 It is believed there are more cars in Jefferson county than shown by the records, as it is known that a number of automobile owners obtain ed their licenses from the state high way department in Little Rock. and of these Jefferson county officials have no record.
 The total number of auto licenses issued in the state is 49.473. accord ing to figures obtained at the office of the state hiohway department. This shows that Jefferson people own more than e-twentv-fifth of all the automobiles in the 75 counties of Ar kansas.
