HIGHER PETROLEUM
RAIL RATES OPPOSED

DALLAS, Dec. 11.-R)-"Joy
riding gasoline" and freight rates met
face to face in the Interstate Com.
merce Commission railroad rate hear.
ing in progress here before EXAMINER
j. j. Keller.
Petroleum interests, who introduced
testimony yesterday and continued to.
day, presented statistics on the oil
and gasoline industry of America in
which it was shown that gasoline
consumed by pleasure vehicles is a
minor part of that consumed in es-
scntial transportation.
'"Thc public thinks Of the autonio-
bile generally as a pleasure vehicle"
said Attorney Lafayette Dow Of
Washington, representing the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute. "But the
fact is that gasoline is the most os-
sential transportation fuel in modern
life. And when we refer to the effect
OF freight rates on gasoline used by
passenger automobiles, we mean that
vast necessary transportation work
done by the passenger vehicle and not
the minor part used for Joy riding. ="

In BerIin's Russian colony it Is
stated that Jurjewskaya frequently
visited a hypnotist named Otto Otto,
from whom she received psycho-thera-
peutic treatment.

BERLIN, Dec. 11.-CP)-Had a
certain letter from New York arrived
here ten days ago instead of only last
night, the young and gifted Russian
prima donna, Zinaida Jurjewskaya,
who leaped to her death last week
from the Devils Bridge" at Ander-
gait, Switzerland, probably would be
alive and happy today.
This is the assertion Of her lawyer,
DR.. Jaffe, who is in possession Of the
fateful missive. 1t offers Jurjewskaya
n contract to appear at the Metropol-
itan opera in New York City-an OPP
portunity for which she, like many
other young singers, yearned.
Jurjewskaya was of an extremely
nervous compartment, DR.. Jaffe said
today, and this condition was aggra-
waited by excessive study, born Of an
Unsuitable ambition TO scale the
heights of her chosen art.
FEARED FAILURE.
"Jurjewskaya's depressed spirits
were due chiefly to fear that her ar
tistic offerings might not be equal to
the highest Standards" the lawyer
said. arthur Bondanzky conductor
for the Metropolitan visited her dur
ing his recent trip and told her she
would hear from the Metropolitan as
soon as possible after his return to
America. When the weeks passed with
out the coveted offer. she feared that
she had failed to make the grade"
FLOODS DELAY SEARCH.
DIR. Jaffe believes Jurjewskaya's
choice of the Devils Bridge" for her
death leap was influenced by the fact
that the only Russian monument in
Switzerland is situated there.
