GASOLINE HOGS RECOUPING
LOSSES By GOUGING PUBLIC

Wichita Falls, Tex, May 23.-
Here's the inside story of what's
back Of the jump in gasoline prices,
according to veteran oil producers:
Various refining companies got
struck with a lot of C ude oil which
they bought at high prices before the
market broke.
For instance, Pennsylvania crude
oil now sells for 1925 a barrel at the
wells. The war-high peak was S6.10
barrel. Prices of oil produced in
other fields have, in a rough way,
dropped correspondingly, for Penn
sylvania crude is the oil industry
price barometer.
A lot OF this oil, bought at $6.1O
barrel is still in storage. 1t has
deprecated in value $2.S5 a barrel.
To cover such losses, most of the
big companies have written Off
large sums in their inventories.
Soak Public.
Now, by jacking up the price of
gasoline, they are trying to recoup
their losses to some extent.
When gasoline began advancing in
price oil producers began expecting
a rise In the price paid them for crude
OIL. Veterans in the industry now
are less hopeful of getting an in
crease for their oil runs.
Stocks of gasoline on April / Qat-
est reported by Bureau of Mines)
totaled S54,231, ,655 gallons. This was
enough to supply the country for 81
days, at recent rate of consump-
ton.
Stocks of gasoline on April l were
90 per cent larger than on April 1,
1919.
But the American people are using
% per cent more gasoline than three
years ago.
On that basis, gasoline stocks are
lower now, in proportion to what's
needed, than they were four years
ago.

i Jackson, Miss, May 24.-Miss
Frances Birkhead's 100000 damage
suit against Gov. Lee NJ. Russell,
alleging breach of promise and Sc
duction, was filed in the Kinds
county circuit court shortly after
the noon hour today, and is docket
led for trial here at the next term.
! The suit was dismissed in federal

in May on the ground of no juris-
ldiction, the governors attorney con-
tending that the defendant is not a
legal resident of Jackson.
Counsel for Miss Birkhead, who
have since been making a thorough
investigation of the authorities, are
convinced that jurisdiction exists
anywhere in the state courts of
Mississippi where service Oh the
governor can be obtained, they said,
and decided to file the suit here.
The bill of complaint is an exact

court and was placed on the record
