GRAYBURG GOES
TO THIRTEEN CENTS
ON GAS TUESDAY
Major Companies Are Still
Selling Gasoline at
Ten Cents at Noon.

N'he Grayburg Oil company posted
a price of Ii cents gu gasoline here
Tuesday morning. Other major COM
'panies in the city had failed to raise
their prices from . and 10 cent? up
to noon Tuesday. 1t is reported that
gasoline is selling at 16 and IS
cents in Houston. and while a large
amount OF San Antonios gasoline is
refined near that city, major COM
panies here have been selling it at
prices and : cents lower, despite
the costs of shipping and handling.
The posting of Il price of Is cents
here is expected to. cause turn in
the gasoline war being staged in the
city. Two weeks ago the price of
gasoline was slashed to the lowest
level it has ever seen in the history
of the city by several independents.
The major companies failed to meet
the low prices posted by the independ-
ents. which ranged from q TO Z cents,
however, one or two of them did come
down to . cents. The Gulf Rein
ing company was the first TO post
price of . cents less three.
The Magnolia Petroleum company.
the Texas Petroleum company and
others were still selling gasoline at
10 cents UP to noon Tuesday. although
company officials stated that they
would not be surprised if they were
ordered to make an advance.
Gasoline, in Houston, is reported
selling for 16 and Is cents and the
gasoline is being refined at the door
of that city. A large amount of San
Antonio's gasoline is refined and ship
ped from Houston. but in SPITE of
shipping costs. companies selling this
gasoline, obviously have decided 10
compete with prices posted by other
concerns here.
Thirteen cents per gallon for gaso-
line is said TO be far pr.ce. That
is, the refiner and retailer are said
TO make Il small profit, but the low
prices of 3, 10, II and T. are said
TO be impractical as there is Il con-
siderable loss when selling at this
price. Officials of some OF the com
panies here have on several occasions.
voiced the opinion that if gasoline
is posted at Ii cents that in all prob
ability, it will remain stable.

sporting public"
| Charles S. Whitman, former gov
ernor of New York, is chairman OF
! the committee, which includes Mar
Gus Kavanagh Charles w. Farnham
Wade H. Ellis, and Annette Abbott
Adams. Besides conclusions drawn
from personal observations as emin-
ent members of the American bar,
they gathered an immense amount of
statistics on crime not available from
the census. Three members of the
committee made an exhaustive study
of the criminal courts in England
and France-forms of indictment,
trial, and sentence-sitting through
whole murder trials and hearings of
appeal, and inspecting penal institu-
lions.
An astonishing laxity was dis
covered in the American method of
recording crime statistics. Some
states did not keep records of the
number of persons in prison, as late
at 1921. Among others where stats
tics were available the penal popula-
ton was shown to have ranged since
1910 from a decrease of IL per cent
in Nevada and 37.5 in South Caro-
lima, to an increase of 1.5 per cent
in Kentucky, and 171.3 in Rhode Is
land Gains in civil population were
taken into consideration.
On information furnished by police
and court clerks in 48 principal cities
of as many states, it was estimated
that while the general population
of the country from the year 1910
until 1922 has increased 149 per cent,
the criminal population has in
creased 1876 per cent" 1t was as
certained further that "the growth
Of crime was steady and almost re-
gular up to our entrance into the |
World war; during the war crime de-
creased greatly, but upon the resump- |
ion of peace criminals resumed their |
Expectations with increased activity |
LII over the country"
In 1921, for instance, there were
$500 homicides as compared with g.
100 in 1920. In no year during the
asst ten did the number fall below
500. In other words, since 1910 no
ess than $4,000 of our citizens have
,erished by poison, the pistol, the
-nife, or other unlawful and deadly
injury"
AS compared with England and
rance:
In the last year for which facts
we're available, there were 60 MUIR
ers in England and Wales; 585 in
rance. In the 48 American cities
7here live one-fifth of the popu1a-
ions there were 1862 murders.
In London there were IL murders.
'nly nine of these were classed as
rst degree. Scotland Yard ended the
ear with none of them unsolved"

CRIME STATISTICS
ARE STARTLING
BAR ASSOCIATION WOULD RE-
WRITE CRIMINAL PRACTICE
CODES IN ALL 4S STATES

Minneapolis, Mimi. - CA. P) -
Startling disclosures of the extent
and rapid increase of crime in the
United States were submitted before
the American Bar association by a
special committee on law enforce
ment, which urged that the whole
Of criminal practice in the 48 states
OF the union be rewritten so that the
long arm of the law might also be-
come swift, sure, constant, and. on
occasion, merciful.
Data on numbers of crimes, meth
DDS of trial and treatment of prison
ers In England and France were
cited. in comparison with which this
country showed to a decided disad-
vantage.
The blame was laid partly upon the
structure Of the law and the manner
in which our courts function, but
principally the increase of crimes and
criminals was attributed to " the
apathy and difference of the Ameri-
can people" toward law enforcement.
Terrible failures of justice have
occurred In all parts of the country"
says the committee. Truth still
clings to Chief Justice Taft's state
ment that the administration of
criminal law in the United States is
a disgrace to civilization. The trial
OF criminal seems like a game of
chance with all the chances in favor
Of the criminal and, if he escapes,
he seems to have the sympathy of a
