The task of enforcing the law In
Washington was taken over today by
three men who learned the value of
teamwork some IS years ago when they
served together in the Department Of
Justice under the Wilson administra-
ton.
When the new United States at
torney. Leslie c. Garnett, took over
his official duties, one Of his first moves
was to name David A. Pine and Harry
L. Underwood as his first and second
assistants. They had worked under
him in the public lands division of the
Department of Justice. and he knew
they had the knack of getting things
done With this in mind. he deter
mined to take them with him into the
United states attorneys Office and this
determination was realized when they
took the oath of Office today.
Pine, who has been engaged in pri-
vate law practice. will take over general
supervision Of civil and criminal work
in the Office. while Underwood. for
merly with the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be in direct charge OF
all civil work. It was expected. how
ever, that he, as well as Pine, will
actively participate in some OF the
criminal work.
There had been rumors that a
political deal had been worked out
whereby one or more of Garnett's
rivals for the job as United States
Attorney would be named to the chief
subordinate jobs, but they were
squelched as Pine and Underwood took
office Underwood's name had never
been mentioned publicly in connection
with the District attorneyship, and,
although Pine was at one time men
toned, it was generally known that he
was one of Garnett's strongest sup
porters.
In 1919, when Pine returned to this
country after the war, he Joined
Garnett in what was known as the
public lands division, although its
jurisdiction included variety of other
fields. Underwood was already there
and Garnett was in charge as chief
attorney In the Fall of that year,
Pine was sent West as special as
sistant to the Attorney General to
resist several encroachments on the
public domain. While he was engaged
in this work, Garnett was named

GASOLINE PRICES
HALF CENT LOWER
All Grades Reduced on Order
Issued by Major Conn.,
panies Here.

Gasoline prices for all grades were
half a cent lower today as the result Of
orders issued by major companies and
the retaliatory tactics which have been
pursued for the past 10 days by inde-
pendent dealers who continue to sell
the so-called third-grade gasoline at
one-half cent under the major COM
panies' price
This latest cut brought the third
grade gasoline, sold at chain stations,
to 11l2 cents. with the Independents
retailing the third grade at II cents.
Two-cent Drop in Week.
This represents a drop of cents in
the past week and total drop of 81
cents on the third grade since the local
price war started.
Premium gasoline was selling today
at Is cents and straight gas at 13 cents.
Meanwhile. Virginia retailers doing
business in the Washington metropoli-
tant district today sent a delegation to
Richmond to try to work out some plan
to save their businesses when the oil
agreements become effective, probably
about March l. They are continuing to
sell at District prices under the tax
absorption plan long in effect This
plan is expected to 60 by the board
when the oil agreements become ef-
fective and the nearby Maryland and
Virginia dealers face the prospect Of
having to go out of business unless
some early solution of their problem is
found.
1t has been reliably reported that the
Petroleum Administrative Board is con-
sidering plan of zoning gasoline prices
In the Washington metropolitan district
which would work as little hardship as
possible upon dealers. This plan is un-
derstood to contemplate setting up areas
around the District in which as q
recede from the District boosts Of
cent will be added until at the outer
edge the Scent price difYerential be-
tween District gasoline and the 2-cent
price differential in Maryland shall
have been met
The independents are still determined
to undersell the major companies on
the third-grade gasoline. The Petro-
leum Administrative Board is still wait
ing for a report from the Bureau of
Standards on the quality of the third
grade gasoline being sold by both the
major companies and the independents

price war situation.

WHISKY CONDEMNED
FOR FALSE LABELLING
Twenty-0ne Pints of "13-Year-

Twenty-one pints of "13 Years Old
Blue Ridge Whisky" which, it is al
legged were actually nothing more
than combination of pomace and
raisin brandy, were condemned in
proceedings started in District Su-

The allegedly misbranded product,
according to the charge, was bottled
by the Sherwood Distilling g. Dis

The condemnation proceedings,
which charge that the word whisky
on the labels is false and misleading
were filed under the pure food and
drugs act by United States Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett and his assistant,
Charles B. Murray.
The liquor in question, 1t is alleged,
is in the possession of Clark's, Inc,

the product purports to be whisky,
a "pomace and raisin brandy, which
has been stored in charred wood and
artificially favored and colored, has
been substituted for whisky"

Shiloh's battle-ground
A Holy Place.

Part of the great Civil War battle
Of Shiloh may have been fought over
sacred SOIL"
DR.. Frank H. H. Roberts, jr., Of the
Bureau of American Ethnology has
excaYated this Winter a group Of In
dian mounds there which may have
constituted an ancient refuge and
ceremonial center. This mound group.
located on a high bluff over the
Tennessee River, long has shared with
the battle itself the historic interest
Of the place. Within a radius OF
about miles-for the most part on
the low bottom lands where they were
subject to f1ooding-are the sites OF
a half dozen once populous villages.
This particular group, however. was
in an exceptionally well-protected po-
sition. On three sides it was sur
rounded by high bluffs. On the
fourth. DR.. Roberts found evidence OF
the existence OF paliSade fence. One
OF the building sites uncovered may
have been the old location of a
temple.
The tentative theory evolved from
the excavations is that here was the
center for worship, refuge from floods
and possibly civic government OF a
populous area. Under the smaller
mounds were traces of about 80
houses. possibly the auxiliary build
ings Of the religious center.
