GASOLINE SUPPLY
NOT APPORTIOHED
FAIRLY IS CHARGE
Discrimination by pll companies
handling the distribution of gasoline)
against jne section of the cpuntry Is
not only unfair but cannot be satis
factorily explained- declared F. - E.
Moskovics, vice president of the Nor
dyke & Marmon company and mem
ber of the Society of Automotive
Kngtneers, Friday morning, discuss
ing the present fuel situation and
acute shortage on the Pacific coast.
Moskovics arrived in Portland late
Thursday. He spoke at the City club
luncheon at the Benson hotel at noon
Friday. 1
"What affects one part of the country
ultimately affect the -whole country."
M ofckovicn said, "and people of the Pa
clfio coast should demand an equal ra
tioning of gasoline. Instead of the short
age being felt acutely In one part of the
country, let it be felt slightly in alj
parts. If the oil. companies are not
able to bring about an equalisation of
the supply, let the government take a
hand." " . "
PACIFIC COA8T HIT
Shortage of gasoline Is not felt any
where In the country except on the Pa
cific coast, according to Moskovics. He
has been investigating the gasoline situ
ation in the East and finds no com
plaint in any centers or outlying dis
tricts there. The fact that automobiles
have vastly increased In numbers Is no
reason for a shortage here, for Iowa has
Increased its automobile registration
more than any state In the union and
Milwaukee, one of the cities most noted
for an Increase In automobiles, has all
the fuel needed. Other teuritorlal with
corresponding Increase in registration of
all kinds of gasoline engines have gas
oline. . -.-'. .
"The oil companies might have fore
seen this situation months ago and mads
provision against it If the dealers can
purchase the fuel, then the distributing
companies can do so and If the distrib
uting eompanfss are now buying gaso
line in the Texas fields, they could have
done so weeks ago. Texas has an abund
ance of gasoline." ,
DEMAND ADMITTED
Moskovics admits that the demand for
gasoline has surpassed production, and
says that for cracking processes to in
crease he yield of gasoline from a given
quantity of crude oil will cut down, the
supply of by-oroducts necessary to the
activities of rher countries. With 75
per cent of the world being Illuminated
by kerosene, it would be folly to cut
down the yield offrhat fuel. With the
present production of crude oil it will be
Impracticable and unjust td increase
gasoline production from crude oil now
In use," '. he said, discussing remedial
features for the vanishing supplies, of
fuel.
"Forty years more at the present rate
of consumption will exhaust supplies of
crude oil such as are now being used,
and shale rock will be the base of the
fuel supply...
SHALE PLENTIFUL -
"It Is estimated that the state of Utah
has enough shale to supply the world
with crude oil for 800 years, Colorado
has enormous deposits. - and so have
Wyoming snd Northern Texas.
"It may be necessary .to raise the price
of gasoline to at least 40 cents a gal
lon In order to Interest capital in this
development, which the British are al
ready familiar with, but once production
has started and refining methods have
been established, the price will come
. down. j ' .
Moskovics will leave Friday night, but
during his stay here he intends to. talk
with various business men on the fuel
: situation, in an effort to discover just to
what extent the coast has been affected
by the shortage.

EXPLAIN ACTIONS
IN SGHVARTZ CASE
New York, July 30. New York
authorities responded promptly to
the request of Governor Ben W. Ol-
eott of Oregon, to Investigate the
case of Milton Schwartz. charged
with being an insane degenerate,
who was committed to the custody
of relatives who moved him to Ore
gon, it was learned today.
Governor Olcott suggested to Gov
ernor Smith that , whatever steps were
necessary snvuiw w umvM ijr
Schwartz to New York, his legal "resi
dence. '
Representatives of the "police called
upon Justice Tierney. who issued in the
upreme court ' the order committing
Schwartz, and were furnished with rec
ords in the ease.
.Justice Tierney said his action was
Justified by the .evidence brought before
him. and d eclat ed there had been no ef
fort' to shift rsponsiblilly for the care
of Schwartz from this state to another.
Schwartz, when he arrived in Oregon,
is said to have misconducted himself at
boarding house in such a manner as
to berought Into the courts here, re
sulting In his entrance into a private
sanatorium in the custody of bis rela
tives. "Schwarthz' mother told me she want
ed to take him to a ranch far - from
any town or village. She said she would
put him in the care of a trained nurse.
It seemed to me that this would give
the young man a far better chance of re
covery than to shut him up in some
public asylum. Not the slightest bit of
testimony was ever offered that
Schwartz had dons harm, to anyone but
himself. 1
"The young man had Jeen ; tenderly
reared, had a university education and
had been a licensed member of the bar.
His people were able to give him the
comforts necessary, should he be re
stored to a normal life. In the ab
sence of testimony that he was danger
ous, I exercised my discretion under
the law and permitted his mother ant?
uncle to take him." : . i

REPORT 13 GBOCKBI-ESS
A renort ' that Owens" and Hart, the
half-breed Indians,-were surrounded in
a . cabin at Echo, was brought to the
sheriff late Thursday nightly' a pair of
alleged moonshiners, who,' it is said,
were seeking to save themselves by giv
ing a tip on the murderers. Ten men
went to the place early Friday, morning
and found the report groundless. i
Reports thus far received and clues
run down indicate that Hart and Owens
are either well hidden or made good
their escape. Officers .are almost cer
tain that Rathie is the man who on three
occasions has appeared in the open at
night to ask for or steal food. They
feel confident, also, that Anderson and
Patterson are near the summit of the
mountains, hoping to catch a train and
escape.- ' .
This pair, as well as Owens and Hart,
worked together at the time of their ar
rest. Rathie worked alone. They are
thought to have- separated Into three
groups.
FOOD DEMA2TD REPORTED
Arrest and questioning of an , Indian
youth and an ex-con Vict, followed by
receipt of a message from Gibbon that
a man appeared at a house there about
dinner time, asking for. food, topped off
an otherwise uneventful day in the hunt
for the slayers of Sheriff Til. Taylor.
Men were rushed to Gibbon by train
and' auto. y
Reports from Cayuse earlier In the
week that a lone man had broken into a
house and taken food and shoes were
never run down.- Gibbon is 10 miles east
of Cayuse, and It is considered possible
that one of the men, possibly Jack
Rathie, may be lurking near. f
INDIAN QUESTIONED '
The Indian youth,' about whom offi
cials will say little, was brought in from
the reservation Thursday afternoon and
questioned. The Inquisition was con
tinued into the evening. Indians known
to be friendly to the sheriff and the
white possemen were called in to testify
as to what they knew concerning the
activities of the youth. One report ,1s
that he has been carrjSng food to the
hills from the vicinity of Cayuse.
1 The ex-convict, a four-termer, is al
leged to have been talking In a manner
that. led to the belief that he was in
formed as to the whereabouts of some
of the men. Officers were non-committal
regarding his case. -WORK
HAMPERED
Inability of the searchers to get any
one of the five men who left together
has hampered them greatly .in their
work. If any one of the five cah be
caught, they point out. Information con
cerning the others' is almost certain to
be obtained.
- Lindgren, who was captured 12 hours
after the jail break, declares he was
alone, and knows nothing of the other
men'B whereabouts. : ,
With hot clues scarce Thursday, of
ficers were willing to give audience to
persons with plausible- suggestions to
follow. One of these concerned the
whereabouts of one Aaron Moses, a
half breed, with whom Jim Owens is said
to have first come to Umatilla county
three years ago. Moses was once ar
rested by the late sheriff on a liquor
charge, it Is -said, and of late has not
been seen here. He is said to be familiar
with the Asotin and Lewiston countries.

FUME IS ItLlufi
TO ADMIT SOVIET
IF DEBTS. ARE PAID
By Kdwin IluUInger , x
(Tinted New BUff CVrirmpofl1nt)
Paris, July 80. Fnance has fin
ally reached a point "wftere slie Is
willing to recognize the soviet gov
ernment of Russia, if the Russian's
agree to fulfill certain conditions.
Chief among these, the United News is
able to state on the best authority, is
the requirement that the Bolshevikl as
sume the International debts contracted
under- the czars. 1 French Investors put
large sums in Russian bonds, which they
can ill afford to lose with war debts to
be paid and reconstruction to be fin
anced. TO INVITE AMERICA
The United Slates. It Is learned, Is to
be Invited to participate in a sreneral
conference of the entente nations, the t
Baltic states and the Russians, with the
object of winding up the great war and
finally establishing world-wide peace.
France, which had been opposed to.
ending the policy of isolation toward
Russia, distinctly altered her policy er
the Boulogne conference. It was learned
at the foreign office.
Unquestionably the change of France.
Is an advance toward recognition, and,
an abandonment of the former'eategori- .
cal opposition to any sort of diplomatic
dealings with the Soviets.
Negotiations reached a point whsre
conditions were stipulated under' which
recognition might be discussed If the
question were raised." ,
CONDITIONS CHANGE
Thus the real import:' of the Boulogne
conference Is shown to be decidedly dif-
lerent tnan tnt.DMt impression, cer
tain of the French newapaperafollowing
a superficial examination of the reply of i'
Lloyd George to Moscow, now consider a
conference "quite possible."
Attention Is called, "however, to the
fact that the Bolshevikl must meet con
ditions. The Paris public views recog
nition almost as accomplished snd con
sider It the matter of a few weeks only
at the most. The common remark Is,
"We might as well, have done it two -years
ago." However, at that time the
same persons were dogmatically opposed
to any contact with the reds.
