Opinion Given
By High Court
Justices Rule Against North Caro-
Lima In Litigation Over Alleged
Price Fixing

North Carolina lost its fight a
sainst five leading oil companies
which Attorney General Dennis G
Brummitt charged had entered into
illegal contracts to restrain trade
and fix gasoline prices.
The supreme court, in an opin-
ion written by Chief Justice w. P
Stacy, affirmed Superior Court
Judge E. H. Cranmer in sustain
ing demurrers Of the defendants tc
an amended complaint filed by the
state more than a year ago.
Defendants in the suit were the
Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey, Gulf Refining company, Texa.
company, Sinclair Refining COM
pany, the American Oil company
and Shell Eastern Petroleum Pro
ducts company.
The first complaint filed in Wake
superior court by Attorney Gen
eral Brummftt was ruled INSULT
Gent in that it stated no specific
fact Or facts sufficient to consti-
tute a cause of acton under ths
antitrust laws.
Subsequently, Judge Cranmel
sustained demurrers to the amend
ed complaint.
Twenty other decisions were
rendered by the court, which fin
ally adjourned its spring term sine
die. Approximately a dozen case:
were carried over for consideration
during the fall term, which open,
August Fl, when the semi-annual
bar examination will be given.

mortgage accepts the bonds from
the mortgagor.


the mortgagor.
In any case where a home owner
has no mortgage on his home bur
owes past due taxes and is threat
ened with a forced sale of his
property, the corporation will loan
the amount to pay the taxes and
require repayment over a period of
fifteen years, the interest rate to
be six per cent. =
No clear line is drawn between
city homes and farm homes but
typical farm loans should be
sought from the federal land
banks rather than from the home
loan banks. The home loan bank
system was created primarily for
the refunding of mortgages and
not to liquidate mortgages in cash.
In addition to refunding mort
cages, home owners may obtain as
sistance from the home loan banks
in redeeming or recovering homes
lost within two years, on the same
terms, provided the present holder
will accept bonds in the same
manner hat bonds are required to
be accepted in refunding an ex-
lstlng mortgage.
The corporation, in handling the
difficult matter of appraisals in the
present period of disturbed real
estate prices, will endeavor to es-
tablish the fair worth of the prop
erty, because the prime purpose of
the act creating this bank system
is to relieve distressed home owners.
Under other provisions of this
act, the corporation may assist
communities in organizing build
ing and loan associations and the
corporation will take in amount as
much stock as the community will
take up to 500, 900 in any one as
ISOLATION, paying cash therefor.
The associations will be members
of the home loan bank system and
will be able to obtain additional
funds by discounts with the home
loan banks.
Inasmuch as more than s2O,-
000, 1000, 900 of home mortgages
are outstanding in the United
States, citizens should keep in
mind that no large percentage of
this form of indebtedness can be
Iliquidated or refunded by the home
loan bank system. For that reason,
the government is hopeful that
money lenders will continue to
make and to renew home loans, so
that the more serious cases may
have a better opportunity to obtain
relief from the bank system.

cases noted.

Border merchants in the bor-
der cities are rising in arms
over the discrimination shown
them in the matter of duties.
An American visiting any OF
the Canadian cities is allowed
to bring home Canadian goods
to the amount of 500, duty
free, while the Canadian buy
ing anything in this country is
compelled to pay full Canadian
tariff rates. Congressman Hoi-
dale has been appealed to in
an attempt to get some adjust
ment to the inequitable tariff
measure, now all in favor of
the Canadian business man and
government. The border mer-
chants insist that the free ad-
mission should be reciprocal.

Fire Badly Wrecks Ellis
Home at Crusher Plant.

Early yesterday morning the fire de-
partment was called to the crusher
plant of the Emeralite Surfacing Pro-
ducts Co., about three miles west OF
the city where fire had been discovered
in the home occupied by Superintendent
and Mrs. Robert Ellis.
With the thermometer at Is below
zero, several members of the depart
ment suffered with the cold on the
three mile open truck ride. The de-
partment worked three hours getting
the fire under control but not before
the upper floors of the building was
ruined The household effects on the
lower floor were removed and the
damage on this floor was confined to
water damage.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated flue and had Sc
cured a considerable hold in the side
walls and the upper floor before the
department arrived. Water was secured
from the creek about 1900 feet from
the burning building No estimate of
damages had been made up to the hour
Of going to press.

DAVE MVAY SUCCUMBS
 ON LONE EXPEDITION

David McVay, one of the best known oldtimers of the Hyder dis trict, apparently died of heart fail ure while on goat hunt alone far up the lofty and rugged slopes of the mile high mountain over looking the westerly side of the Salmon River Valely, across from the Riverside Mine. His body was found by searchers, carried over the rough trail to Hyder where funeral services were held under the auspices of the Pioneers.
 MT McVay was 63 years of age and had resided in the Hyder dis trict since 1921. Little could be learned of his antecedants. He had lived in Fairbanks and other parts of Alaska since 1893, when he ar rived at Skagway
 As far as could be learned he
