PLOT TO KILL COUPLE
ADMITTED, SAYS OFFICER
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, February &c.
Capt. of Detectives Duncan Matheson
announced today that Ralph King, a
former patrolman of Honolulu, and
now private detective here was in
Jail and had confessed that he had
been employed for $500 to kill Fred
Hotaling, heir to fortune, and Mrs.
HotalinR, Fred's wife.
According to Matheson, King said
he in turn had hired two men to kill
Hotaling and Mrs. Hotaling and that
the men apparently had at the last
minute abandoned any act of violence
and resorted to the use of poisoned
milk.
King was quoted as saying he was
a close friend of San Francisco
millionaire. The plot against Hotal-
ing and Mrs. Hotaling was revealed
two weeks ago when Hotaling turned
over to the board of health the con-
tents of bottle of milk which had
been left on a porch of the Hotaling
home. Analysis showed that the milk
contained poison.

SENATE REQUESTS
GAS PROBE REPORT
Calls on Coolidge for Trade
Commission Findings, if
Not Incompatible.

President Coolidge was requested
today by the Senate to transmit to 1t
the Federal Trade Commissions re-
port on the gasoline industry, IF not
incompatible with public interests"
Action was taken on a modification
of a resolution by Senator Trammell,
Democrat, Florida, which would have
directed the commission to transmit
the report.
Senator Moses Republican, New
Hampshire, explained that the De-
partment of Justice was making an
investigation of the industry on the
basis of the report with a view to
antitrust proceedings. and therefore
it should be left to the discretion of
the President whether the report
should be made public.
The commission conducted its in
vestigation last year and submitted
its report to the President. 1t was
sent by him to the Department of
Justice.
Another resolution, by Senator
Trammell, demanding an investiga-
ton by the commission of the recent
Increases in gasoline prices is pend
ing.
Senator Harreld, Republican, Okla
homa presented to the Senate a let
in which il was said the newly organ
lied Federal Oil Conservation Board
would make d thorough study of the
oil industry.
Suit Now Pending.
Reviewing the departments activ-
tiles, Assistant Attorney General Sey-
mour said investigation in the Spring
of 1923 had disclosed an interchange
of patents covering the cracking proc
ess for manufacture of gasoline, which
were interpreted as in restraint of
trade. On the basis % these findings,
he said, the department had instt-
tuted an equity suit which now is
pending.
AS a second step, the department
proceeded last Summer to investigate
certain trade associations" connected
with oil production, refining and dis
tribution, but this failed to disclose
evidence "warranting Institution OF
proceedings although one associ-
alton voluntarily abandoned an activ-
ity under examination by the Gov
eminent.
In the meantime, the letter said, the
department was cooperating in every
possible way with the attorneys gen.
eral of the States.

and its stairway, together with the
