 Repairing the Gasoline Feed Line
 temporary repair of the gasoline feed line can be readily made. After shutting off the gasoline at the tank, tape Is wrapped around the break and for about two inches on each side. A layer of fine copper or other wire is then wound over the tape, making sure that the mlnding is tight, close and even. Another layer or two of tape is then placed over the wire after which a few turns of wire are wound over the tape to pre- vent 1t from unwrappins.

LAW FIRMS GIVEN
$4,000 IN. OIL FEES
CASE; ASKED $4,000

Governor Thomas w. HardWick
has issued an executive order paying
the Atlanta law firm of Dorsey,
Brewster Howell & Heyman. and
Mark Bolding, $4,000 for represent
ing the state as special counsel in
the oil inspection case in the United
States courts. This is in addition
to a retainer of 81, 500 paid the firm
early in the case, making total
fee of $11 500.
Albert Howell, Jr., on behalf OF
the firm, put in a claim for fee
of $4,000, this being ten per cent
Of the amount of oil inspection fees
involved in the litigation, and saved
for the state. His contention was
that his firm was employed on a
contingent fee basis. Governor Hard
wick disagreed. His Interpretation
of the contract was that the firm
was to be paid according TO the
amount of work it did.
In April, 1920, the Texas Oil COM
pany and other oil companies sought
to enjoin the state of Georgia from
collecting the Oil inspection fees pro-
vided by law. The states revenue
from the companys participating N
The injunction proceeding was then
about $3S0,000 per annum. Since
that time. it has grown larger.
Governor Dorsey, then chief ex-
ecutive, employed the firm of Brew
ster, Howell & IIeyman, and Mark
Bolding, las the firm was then
known during Governor Dorsey's
withdrawal from it while serving as
governor), to represent the state as
special counsel. and issued an ex-
ecutive order providing that they
should be paid "a just and equitable
fee contingent upon the work done,
the amount of which shall be de-
termined by the governor
The litigation ended successfully
for the state after Governor Dor
sey's retirement and after he had
rejoined his law firm Mr.. Howell
asked for $500 on a ten per cent
contingent fee basis. To support his
cotention that the contract called
for this, he produced a letter from
EA-1ONeTllOf DOtSey Say IuS lie Adt-
ter intended his executive order %
mean a contingent fee when he
wrote it.
Notwithstanding the letter from
the former governor, Governor
Hardwick construed the contract on
the "quantum MERIT" basis and
awarded the law firm $4,000 addi-
tional to their retainer of 500. In
this Interpretation of the contract
he was supported by Attorney Cen
eral Napier.

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 15.-A re-
placed the death toll of Wednesday

dead white men have been identified
as w. A. Baker, of Lufkin, Tex;
William Campsey, conductor, of
Houston; M. Clark. news dealer, of
Houston; Albert Pickard and Ed
gar Randle, both of Houston.
Of the injured, II late this morn
ing were still injured seriously
enough to be receiving medical at
tention at hospitals here. The ma
jority are negroes.
Investigations We're put under way
Thursday by the railway COM
pany to place the responsibility for
the fatal accident,
+ The victims met death when "A
two-inch steam pipe, torn loose from
the cylinder head when a passenger
train side-swiped a switch engine,
crashed through a window of the
smoking car. Conductor William
Campsey and M. Young, the train
news dealer, died instantly.
Bodies of the dead were removed to
lhe morgue at Humble, and the in
jured were brought here in am
balances.
Drifting" of the switch engine
from point near the depot to
spot nearly a block away, where the
siding converged with the main line,
was blamed for the accident.
According to members of the crew
of the switch engine, a Waterman
named Smith had been left IN
charge while they went to a nearby
restaurant. The first they knew of
the engines drifting" came with
the impact Of the locomotives
Although they received a severe
shaking up, none of the passengers
in the Pullman cars was injured.
All of the dead and injured were
passengers in the first and second
coaches of the train.
One railroad man, who refused to
give his name, catapulated himself
into the forward smoker, then a
seething cauldron, and stumbled the
entire length of the car, breaking
windows as he progressed. AS a re-
suit of his bravery, the steam poured
out of the car and made it possible
to bring the victims out.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Trade in wheat was
| exceedingly slow. Sentiment favored a
| reaction after the close Thursday, and
when the market opened this morning there
was a lack of buying power and enough
commission house selling to force a sub
stantial reaction. After md-session the
| market appeared to be gaining in strength
because of the improvement in the demand,
offerings at no time being excessive. The
zero weather over the southwest brought
in the usual number of crop complaints,
in the north and west part of Argentina.
!. The board of trade corrected Buffalo afloat
stock of wheat, and the net change in the
visible supply in consequence was an in
crease of 1884 900. Stock of bonded wheat
afloat was raised from $500, 900 bushels
to p ,663 900 bushels. Cables ignored the
American advance of yesterday. There were
reports of Great Britain and France having
made satisfactory arrangements regarding
debts. Milling demand for wheat was quiet
and export trade was SLOW Argentine
shipments exceeded expectations.
Wheat closed l to sc lower. Decem-
$1.13% to S1.13%.
Corn followed the trend of wheat. There
was selling at the start by longs in De-
cember, while hedger5 took the offers. 10
Gals bought corn sold by commission houses
earlier. Seaboard reported a gOod-size ex-
port business worked in corn overnight and
there is no doubt of the need of this grain
judging by the firmness of the Liverpool
spot market. Receipts continue heavy and
country acceptances were larger.
Corn closed u to 13sc lower. December,
743sc to 74Ac; May, 73Ac to 1880; July,
73Ac
oats trade was slow and prices followed
the trend Of other grains. Cash demand
was tame.
Oats closed Is to &c lower. December,
453sc to 4512c; May, 4615c; July, 4214c-
Provisions were strong commission
house buying and light offerings.
Lard closed 10 to 1212c higher. Ribs

vices, but there was not a great deal of
support after the early buying orders had
been executed. and prices gradually worked
off to about 25.37c for January and 25.57c
for March, or Is to 90 points net lower on
the general list.
The market was little steadier during
