CAS- PRICE INQUIRY
OPENED BY NAPIER
IN WAKE Of RAISE
Attorney General Also to In
vestigate Charges Of Dis
elimination by Local Fuel
Distributors

Attorney General George NJ.
Napier, Thursday started an investi
cation into the two recent increases
of two cents each in the retail price
per gallon of gasoline IN Atlanta and
other cities of Georgia. He was also
investigating complaints of dis
elimination in the prices made to
filling stations by certain local dis
tributors of gas.
Il am making an investigation of
the price of crude oil, to ascertain
whether the fluctuations in that
commodity authorize the advances
in the charge for gasoline, as the
distributors CLAIM" the attorney
general stated. "At the present time
l have nc definite information along
that line, but expect to know with
in the. next few days if there IS
foundation for the rapid raises"
Attorney General Napier started
an investigation of gasoline prices
reveral nGnths ago, and his activity
was followed by two reductions in
the price of gasoline IN Georgia. He
later attended national conference
of attorneys general on the gasoline
inject, and has taken part in
nationwide crusade to prevent eX
cnssive charges for the product so
generally used at the present time.
"a delegation Of Cobb county citI-
zens visited me Wednesday and COM
planned that Atlanta distributors
raise the price of gasoline four cents
per gallon when they cross the Ros-
well bridge" Attorney General Ma
pier declared.
I'm other words, the people Of
Cobb county pay four cents more Cor
gasoline in Roswell, at the other end
of the bridge, thin the people of
Fulton county pay at the nearest
filing station to this end Of the
bridge. [ can not understand the
Justice Of such an increase in price
for so short an additional haul, by
the same truck that supplies Ful-
ton county stations, and 1 am look
ing into the complaint very care
fully"
The attorney general added that
he has not yet verified the compliant,
but it came from reputable citizens
and the indications are that it is
well founded.

Rochester Home Brew

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, Jan. "a
The home brew industry in Roches-

dosing with iodine of the city water
supply in an attempt to prevent goi-

householders who say they find it
impossible to obtain a satisfactory
head on the product of their Ia

A proper "head'' on beer is said
to be indicative of lively" quality.
Effect Of the iodine upon yeast in
process Of fermentation is cited as
the couse OF the situation.
Inasmuch as the health authori-
ties are convinced that dosing the
water with iodine is an effective
method of stamping out goiter, home
brewers are seeking ways to over

the sale to Mexico by private citi-

NYACK, N. Y. August 1s.-James

wife, who was the widow Of William
Disston. Philadelphia saw manufac-
turer, remain married today by decree
OF Supreme Court Justice Tompkins,
who wrote the concluding chapter of
their involved divorce proceedings
Justice Tompkins, in a decision in
which he accused the McVickars of
having acted in collusion to obtain Mrs.
McVickars divorce. which she later
caused to be invalidated, today denied
the oil mans petition to again validate
the decree.
Mrs. McVickar, whose widowhood
brought her a fortune of $7,5OO,000,
was secretly married to the oil man in
Jersey City in December, 1922. 1t was
not long after that their friends in
New York and Philadelphia society
learned that Mrs. McVickar had taken
up quarters at the St Regis Hotel,
and that her husband was making his

issues as outlined in the Republican n
State platform. That platform is alb
solutely silent on the klan issue. 1t
does not contain even the most in
direct reference to the agitation
which produced Senator Brewster's S
nomination.
Because of this fact and because
it is known to all men that up to
date Senator Brewster stands in the
public eye as the klan candidate for
governor, we have asked him d sim
pie and pertinent question, which, in
justice to himself and the public, he
should answer. We repeat it.
"'Do you believe that the ku klux
klan fills useful place in the life
Of Maine?'
"The Senator's views on that mat
ter are Of interest. He undoubtedly
has an opinion on the subject. He
has been in the confidence of the
leaders of the organization ever since
it's support was first rendered to him.
He knows it's policies. it's principles
it's political philosophy. He has had
an opportunity to study its aspira-
tions and it's ideals at first hand.
Evening star., 1924-08-19

What does he think of it? There is
no reason why he should mask his
opinion or why he should fear to ex-
press it.
He was successful in riding
through the primary on the klan
hobby horse and in impreSSinG the
people with the idea that his candi-
dacy really represented some definite
things. Whether these things were
good or evil depended upon the point
of view. But at least they were
specific.
Has he abandoned his policies, or
is he simply pussyfooting, hoping to
secure his election under false pre-
lenses and develop after election the
theories which he does not dare to
advocate during campaign?
THE people admire and demand
frankness in candidate. We believe
that Senator Brewster would be de-
feated if he frankly told the people
where he really stands. We are alb
solutely sure that he will be defeated
if he keeps on lodging. He had bet
