La Porte, Ind. Sept. .—On the ground that the Standard Oil com- pany of Indiana is violating a section of the Sherman Anti-Trust law by discriminating in prices, the Inde- pendent company has retained attor- neys of this city with a view to bring- ing action. The Standard Oil company recently |reduced the price of oil in Michigsan | City, La Porte, Walkertown and Ply- mouth one cent per gallon. The In- | dependent company contends it is an |effort to force it into bankruptcy. This company does not retail, but |does solely a wholesale business, and since the Standard Oil company con- |trols tank gasoline prices, it is said to be impossible for the local concern 10 buy oil, sell it to the retailers and make any profit. cemployment Arranged by President Harding and Secretary Hoover. Washington, Sept. 9.—Women are to participate in the conference on un- employment arranged by President Harding and Secretary Hoover. The president discussed today with Mrs, Harriet Taylor Upton, of New York, the question of choosing wemen as delegates. Mrs. Upton was asked to suggest names of several women and she azrced to submit soon a list of ten women. Secretary Hoover who also called at the White House, said several women would sit in the conference. Mrs. Up- ton said it was not expected that the entire list of ten would be chosen but it was hoped three or four would be in the conference. The women represen- tatives will be selected, she said, with due regard to trades and industry as| well as geography. Political considera- tion will not figure in making up the list, she added.

NUALITY GODDS AT !J CONOMY PRICES ** TEL. WHIPS WIFE BEATER IN BALTIMORE JAIL Sheriff Strikes Five Blows With Cat- ©o-Nine-Tails on Back of Convicted Negro. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 9.—Wincing under the five stinging blows of a cat- o-nine-tails whip, wielded by Sheriff Thomas ¥. McNulty, Cornelius Smith, a negro wife beater, was punished here vesterday in accordance with a sen- tence imposed several weeks ago by Judge Duffy in the criminal court. The whipping, which tcok place in the main corridor of the city jail at 6:50 o clock, was witnessed by about a dozen men, including deputy sher- iffs, jail guards and newspaper men. This was the first time in nine years that the whipping post had been used at this jail. The sheriff, putting every ounce of nis weight in the blow, brought the leather throngs upon the bare back of the negro. The sound of the contact could be heard in all parts of the cor- ridor. In rapid succession the second, third and fourth blows followed. Hesi- tating for an instant before the final blow, the sheriff first steadied himself and then grasping the butt of the whip with both hands brought it down with great force. Large welts ap- peared on the back of the prisoner. As soon as Smith was released from his manacles he stepped from the plat- form and, with head erect and a surly look ¢n his face, walked to where he had left his shirt. 1t was stated that none of the blows had broken the skin and that beyond a few welts Smith would be none the worse in a few days. “I put all my power in the blows," said Sheriff McNulty, “and 1 sure wanted to make a good job of it. T have no sympathy for wife beaters and I think the whipping post is just the thing for brutes of that type. I would recommend a public whipping of wife beaters where citizens of the city could witness the beating. The city hall plaza would make an ideal site for carrying out such a project.
