EXPECT GRAND JURY
TO PROBE CHARGES
AGAINST HARRIGAN
and Beck May Be
Questioned on Elec-
tion Matters.
A grand jury investigation into the
alleged charges that I). D. Harrigan
city engineer had unduly influenced
city employes at three elections held
during last year was indicated Mon-
day when Frank L. Young and Joe
Beck were waiting to appear before
that body. Young and Beck were
among those who signed charges pre-
ferred against the city engineer before
the eity commission.
These charges were dismissed by
the council Friday because of lack of
prosecution and on the ground that
the commission was without jurisdic-
tion in the case. The charges before
the council were based on a letter
alleged to have been written by the
city .engineer directing the employes
of the street department to appear
at the polls. The city engineer denied
that he had written the letter as-
serting that his signature was placed
thereon with a rubber stamp. If such
orders had been issued. Mr. Harrigan
declared at the time the charges were
filed they must have come from some-
one "higher up."

GASOLINE PRU2S
ADVANCED 7 CENTS
AT STATIONS HERE
Magnolia Grayburg and
Oriental Announce
Drastic Increase.
A 7-cent increase in gasoline prices
at all of its local filling stations wns
announced here Monday by the
Magnolia Petroleum company. -The
new price is 23 cents n gallon.
Other companies to announce a
similar increase were the Grayburg
and Oriental. Three companies the
Pierce Texas and Gulf announced
an increase of only one cent. I'p to
noon the Humble hnd received no
orders from the Houston headquar-
ters to advance its gasoline prices
but it is probable that these orders
will be received before the day is
over E. 8. Barrow local manager
said.
The drastic increase in gasoline
prices announced Monday is taken as
an indication that the “gasoline war"
which is said to hnve been waged
among companies here for some time
is at an end..
“The increase in prices simply
means that the war is at
nn end.” snid n representative of one
company which maintains filling sta-
tions throughout the city.; “Dealers
here have been selling gasoline nt a
loss for some time and they have hnd
enough of it."
W. W. Rew. manager of the south-
western division of the Magnolia
Petroleum yompany. said that the
price wns advanced dtere to’ make it
correspond to that in other cpmmon
Texas points. Gasoline has been sell-
ing here for some time considerably be-
low the posted price in other Texas
cities he said.
For the last several weeks motorists
have obtained gasoline atfilling sta-
tions for 16 cents. A few! of the
so-called “independent" denlcrp have
l>een selling to the public at 15 cents.
However it was generally conceded
that it would be just a matter of a
short time before prices would’be ad-
vanced.

CONGER FILES
BRIEF ANSWER
Colonel Enters General De-
nial to Allegations
of Captain.
NO INSPECTOR NAMED
General Lewis Says There
Are No Developments
in Case.
Answer to plaintiffs' original peti-
tion wherein C'apt. Edwin H. Randle
nnd his wife. Mrs. Agnes Karns
Randle are suing Col. Arthur L.
Conger for $lOO.llOO alleged defama-
tion of character was filed in the
district clerk's office Monday morn-
ing. The answer is in the form of
a general denial and does not deal
specifically with the allegations con-
tained in the petition filed by the
captain nnd his wife. The original
petition was filed in the Seventy-third
District Court but trinl probably can-
not be had until Into in May or early
in June on account of a crowded
docket.
At the same time Colonel Conger's
answer was filed in court Brig. Gen.
E. M. Lewis commanding the Eighth
Corps Aren statqd that there are no
developments in the Conger matter
from military quarters. Although tile
secretary of war last week announced
that the case would be Investigated.
General Lewis said so far as lie knew
no one in the inspector general's de-
partment hns been assigned to that
duty. It is possible however that
the assignment has been mnde at
Washington nnd that it hns not yet
reached here.
.. Asks for Dluai'saL
The answer filed by attorneys for
Colonel Conger is very brief and reads
as follows:
“Now comes A. L. Conger defend-
ant in the above styled and numbered
cause nnd excepts to plaintiffs’ peti-
tion and says that same is insuffi-
cient to require him to answer thereto
and herein nnd of this he prays the
judgment of the court.
“And for plea nnd answer in this
behalf this defendant denies nil nnd
singular the nllegntions in plaintiffs'
petition contained demands strict
proof of the same puts himself upon
the country and .prays the judgment
of the court nnd thnt he go hence with
his costs."
General Denial Was Expected.
It was expected that til® answer of
Colonel Conger would lie confined to
a general denial of the allegations
contained in the original petition as
the defendants in a deposition taken
by the pinintiffs in the case already
had denied them specifically.
Further developments in the case
from a legal standpoint are not ex-
pected until the case comes to trial.
