.HEAVY EXPENSE IS SAVED
Branch Houses Must Comply With
Laws or State In Which They
Do Business.
An order Issued by Chief of Police
Jenkins yesterday, following a con
ference between officials of the cities
of Portland and Vancouver, Wash.,
brought to an end a war involving
the right of delivery wagons with
licenses issued in one state to de
liver goods In another state, which
lias been on for the past two years.
" Peace between the two hostile
municipalities has now been signed.
Chief Jenkins announced, and no
longer must a delivery driver with
an Oregon license dodge behind the
nearest corner when he sees a Van
couver cop on his trail. Similarly
the chief declared that a deltvery'car
from Vancouver was no longer to be
captured and its driver brought be
fore the municipal court Judge on
charge of violating the state auto
mobile law by operating without a
proper license.
Heavy Expense Saved.
' Officials of Portland and Van
couver, Wash., it was announced
yesterday, had decided that the state
laws, providing for delivery vehicles
delivering goods In a state having a
license issued by that state, within
the corporate limits of the two cities
should not be enforced to the letter.
The decision. It Is declared, will mean
thousands of dollars in savings to
concerns in the two cities.
Previously, in order to comply with
the strict interpretation of the law
made by the officials of the two
cities, a delivery car. which crossed
the Columbia river, to make one de
livery a year In the territory of the
other state, must secure an addi
toinal license from the state in which
the delivery was made, meaning an
outlay of from J30 to $60.
Under the new ruling only delivery
machines, which spend practically all
their time delivering goods in the
territory of the other state, will be
compelled to secure a license in that
state, In addition to the license of
their home state, it was . announced.
It was specified, however, that busi
ness houses In Portland could not
operate delivery machines from a
branch In Vancouver with Oregon
licenses. The same, It was declared,
would hold good for Vancouver
houses with branches in Portland.
Agreement Is Reached.
The agreement was reached as the
result of a conference between the
district and city attorneys and the
chief of police of Vancouver. Wash.,
the sheriff of Clarke county, Wash
ington, and District Attorney Evans.
Municipal Judge Rossman and Chief
of Police Jenkins of Portland.
Th war between the two muni
cipalities started about two years
Wash., began strict enforcement of
to when officials of Vancouver,
the Washington state law providing
for machines delivering goods in that
state having the Washington license
The city of Portland retaliated by
the passage of an ordinance navins
similar provisions to the Washington
law. Later this was enforced by a
state law passed by the Oregon legis
lature. The enforcement of these laws by
the two rival municipalities has dur
ing the past two years meant that
business men of the two cities have
epent thousands of dollars in the
purchase of automobile licenses which
would otherwise not have been neces
sary. It is declared, in addition to
the fines paid as a result of arrests
and convictions for the violations of
those laws.

ing lady and shows not a little ability
and skill.
Nothing could be further from the
melodramatic than "The Man Who
Lost Himself." Faversham does not
play to the grandstand but every item
has been so built as to make a perfect
background for his work. The play
itself Is fascinating and not a little
suggestive of Guy Bates Post's recent
vehicle, "Tho Masquerader." Its story
la' that of an American dined and
wined so completely by the English
man whom he meets by virtue of
their unusual resemblance that he
wakes the following morning in an
aristocratic house of wealth and utter
strangeness to read of his own suicide
in the morning paper and to realize
that his despondent host of yesterday
has taken advantage of the strange
likeness to thrust responsibilities on
the Americans' shoulders and to lea.ve
for a better and happier world.
A few days' experience as the Duke
of Rochester, whom his friend had
been and whom in the eyes of the
London . world he now was, taught
him Just why the son of aristocracy
had been so willing to cast aside
his home and responsibilities. He
strstightens but all of the difficulties
all except the late duke's wife, with
whom he falls hopelessly in love. But
this again he manages In a typical
and satisfying American way.
N'
OTHING finer has been offered
on the screen from the dra
matic standpoint than William
Faversham's "The Man Who Lost
Himself," the present Columbia at
traction. In it William Faversham is at his
best and few critics will admit that
Faversham at his best can be sur
passed by many living dramatists.
The vehicle is excellently suited to

In no very veiled .language, the
special committee from the Dealers'
Motor Car association of. Oregon, ap
pointed recently to investigate the
causes for the gasoline shortage here
and to take all possible steps to
relieve it, in - a report just made
to the asBSclation, virtually attributes
the whole shortage to the oil com
panles themselves...
"The committee's opinion," says the
report in its final summing up, "Ls
that there is no gasoline shortage
There has been no gasoline shortage.
And if the publtc will keep in mind
the statements issued by the oil com
panies since April 1, the committee
will be able to prove that there has
been no gasoline shortage in the
United States.
' "The committee will also hazard the
opinion that the public is being pre
pared to pay a higher price for
gasoline."
- The committee Is composed of C. L.
Boss, chairman; W. H. Wallingford,
J. H. Graham, A. B. Manley and H. H.
Eling and M. O. Wilklns, ex-officlo
members. Its report goes into some
detail In stating reasons for its con
elusions. Salient points of the report
follow:
Gasoline Situation Peculiar.
"The gasoline situation today is
peculiar unto itself. No precedent
established is likely to hold good
over the following day. The com
mittee has found conditions changed
to such an extent that it prefers to
state them in facts and figures.
"The first carload of gasoline ob
tained from independent sources by
Portland dealers to help relieve the
shortage in Oregon wis wired for and
purchased without definite knowledge
as to the exact cost. It was handled
by tie branch house of W. H. Wal
lingford at Corvallis. The cost of this
gasoline for delivery at Corvallis was
38 cents per gallon. When it arrived
there one of the gasoline companies
cut its own regular price 2 cents per
gallon and sold gasoline at 24 cents
per gallon, making a difference of 14
cents per gallon between what this
carload had to sell for and what gaso
line could be purchased for from
regular sources, which had previously
been suffering from a 'shortage.'
"Despite this fact, farmers and
customers in general took every gal
lon of the carload at 14 cents more
per gallon.
"One member of the. dealers' com
mittee went to Dallas and found that
Mr. Sims, representing a. gasoline
company, had mads statements to the
mayor, garage men, dealers and pub
lie that the gasoline shortage would
continue until September. This caused
dealers of Dallas to get together and
order a carload through the Dealers'
Motor Car association.
"Early on the very morning of the
day this carload arrived, one of he
gasoline .companies started filling
dealers' tanks, and did All all but
two, so that the carload of gasoline
could not be handled. Despite this
farmers and the public In general took
the whole carload shipment In drums
at 3 cents mora per gallon than the
regular price.
Imports Make Difference.
"At Corvallis one of the gasoline
companies informed Mr. Whiteside,
dealer, that the shortage would con
tinue until November 1. The mo
ment gasoline was imported by the
dealers, however, this company began
to supply gasoline freely.
"Another member of the committee
went to Hood River and found that
after being entirely out of gasoline
for several days dealers there had
decided to get together and forward
a deposit. to the Dealers' Motor Car
association so as to get a carload of
tho independent gasoline it was 1m.
porting. Thereupon they were noti
fied by the gasoline company that a
carload would be there in the morn
ing. Two carloads were sent and
the dealers were then notified there
would be no further shortage of gas
oline.
'This committee la in such close
touch with dealers in the outsida ter
ritory and their interests are so bound
together that these occurrences
throughout the state are quickly re
ported to the commute. Moreover,
Portland dealers returning from trips
to their factories In the east are, con
stantly bringing back reports on' con
ditions elsewhere through the coun
try. These reports show there is no
shortage elsewhere than on the Pa
cific coast.
"However, we do not have to go
outside our own committee for illus
tration as to how the gasoline short
age is operating here. Monday morn
ing a week ago one of the gasoline
companies filled full up the tank of
the Manley Auto company and not!
fied Mr. Manley that It would keep
the tank full for the entire Shrine
week. Another member of the com
mittee. C. L. Boss of the C. L- Boss
Automobile company, was rationed by
another gasoline company during ths
entire week, which fact was not men
tioned until the end of the week to
see how fairly and- impartially sraso
line was being distributed even to the
committee itself. .
"The committee has available the
very latest report of the United States
bureau of mines. It shows that on
April 1, 1920. when we were all not!
fied by advertisements of an impend
ing gasoline shortage, there was actu
ally more gasoline on hand in the
United States than -on any previous
date. The report shows the actual
amount -on hand as 626,393,000 gal
Ions.
wcf
Quantity In Storage Increases.
"The bureau also reports that con
sumption of gasoline in the United
States Increased for January, Febru
ary and March of this year 33 per
cent over the same period last year
but that production was so much
greater than last year that gasoline
in storage increased 14 per cent dur
ing the period, or by 80,000,000 gal
Ions. No later figures are available,
as bureau of mines reports are issued
90 days after the period reported on
"The committee now has one of It
members en route to California to
make arrangements for additions
gasoline supplies and to make fur
ther investigation as to the gasoline
situation.
"The committee's opinion Is tha
there is no gasoline shortage. There
has been no gasoline shortage, and
if the public will keep in mind th
statements Issued by the oil com pa
nles since April 1 the committee will
be able to prove that there has been
no gasoline shortage In the United
States.
"The committee will also hazard!
the opinion that the public is being
prepared to pay a higher price for
gasoline."
Three members of the gasoline
committee of the Dealers' Motor Car
association, M. O. Wilklns, H. H. Eling
and C. L. Boss, were also appointed
on the gasoline committee named by
Mayoc Baker. The dealers' commit
tee, however, has had full authority
to Investigate and take action for re
lieving the shortage, in which It has
been joined by associated organiza
tions in the automobile and garage
business.
BIC 1TEL EXPORTS DENIED
Standard Oil Declares All Gasoline
Is Sold on Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO. June . 29. The
Standard Oil company here today
issued a statement In which It was
said that with exports cut to a mini
mum figure it can hardly be said
that California nor any other Pa
cific coast state is deprived of gaso
line through large exportation.
"The Standard Oil company does
not export gasoline, but Bells for
export, and such sales are at the
market rates In San FranciBCO and
not at fancy prices alleged to prevail
abroad," the statement read.
. The company stated that in 1920
the gasoline exports would be less
than 3 per cent of its entire business,
as compared to 8 per cent in 1919,
and 18 U tier cent In 1918. The ex
ports in 1919 were 339,923 50-gallon
barrels. 705.741 barrels in 1918, -while
the 1920 exports will be 213,357 bar
rels, 70 per cent of which will be
shipped cy June so, me statement ae
clared.
The company has gone into eastern
