To enjoin assessment. UNITED STATES COURTS. After listening to arguments of counsel for the greater part of the day, Robert R. Nevin. United States District Judge, Cincinnati, yesterday continued the hearing of the unfair competition and injunction suit of the Early Daniel and other independent gasoline distributors in Hamilton County, Ohio, vs.

the Cities Service Oil Company and eight other oil and gasoline producing and refining companies until next Tuesday morning. In the meantime Judge Nevln will study the bill of complaint to determine whether it states a valid cause of action against the defendant companies under the Clayton anti-trust act Should he find it does not, he will probably order the dismissal of the case next Tuesday. If he finds that it does, he will dispose of motions ol certain of the defendants for dismissal of the bill as to them and resume the hearing of the case on its merits. An imposing array of counsel as sembled in the courtroom of United States District Court yesterday morning when the case was called for hearing. Among counsel were Harry T.

Klein, former Clncin- natian, now of New York, who appeared as General Counsel and a Director of the Texas Corporation. Joseph S. Graydon and Gregor B. Moorman, of Maxwell Ramsey, attorneys, Cincinnati, representing the Gulf Refining Company; John R. Schindel, attorney, Cincinnati, A.

J. Dorwin, attorney, Lawrenceburg, 111., representing the Texas Company; Robert A. Taft, attorney, Cincinnati, and William A. McAtee, attorney, Ceveland, representing the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and its subsidiaries', Refiners, Inc. and the Fleet Wing Company; Frank A.

Thompson, attorney, St. Louis, representing the Shell-Union Oil Company; Dinsmore, Shohl Saw yer, attorneys, Cincinnati, and James B. Malone, attorney, Springfield, Ohio, representing the Cities Service Company; W. R. Allen, attorney, Chicago, 111., and Paxton Seasongood, attorneys, Cincinnati, representing the Sinclair Refining Company, and H.

M. Myers, attorney, Columbus, Ohio, and Sanford A. Headley, attorney, Cincinnati, representing the Pure Oil Company. j.ecr.ard h. Freiberg attorney, Cincinnati, appearing as counsel for the Early Daniel Company and other plaintiffs, told Judge Nevin his clients seek relief from the un fair methods of competition alleged employed by the defendants which, he said, are designed to drive the complainants either into becoming customers of theirs or out of business through inability to sustain prolonged losses due to the low prices of gasoline now prevailing in this market.

He declared the defendants should be enjoined by the court from maintaining prices on gasoline which are below the costs of the product and its marketing. Freiberg attacked, in particular, the so-called "marginal contracts" he said the defendants entered into with customers, under which the customers were permitted to purchase gasoline at prices up to 6 cents below the established price without regard tq the prevailing wholesale price of gasoline. At the present time, he. said, the wholesale price of gasoline in Cin cinnati is 11 cents a gallon, and that this figure represents the fair price of gasoline here. He also criticized affidavits filed in this case by the defendants to show that the present price of gasoline is based on economic and competitive conditions.

Harry T. Kline, representing the Texas Company, in bis statement to Court declared the combination of over-production, modern refin ing methods and competition was responsible for the present situa tion in the gasoline market He declared there is no truth in the allegations of the plaintiffs that the defendants had 'conspired together to fix prices to throttle competition of independents. He said gas oline, in tank-car lots, can be purchased at Cincinnati by any person for seven cents a gallon. He said this cost was made up by the com bination or the price at the fields, the freight and other charges accruing to the delivery of the com modity in Cincinnati. He declared modern refining methods had in creased the output of gasoline from a barrel of crude oil, 300 per cent.

He averred the Texas Company alone has 600,000,000 barrels of crude and refined products now in storage. Joseph S. Graydon, appearing for the Gulf Refining Company, at tacked the sufficiency of the bill of complaint and also asked dismissal of the bill as to the Gulf Company on the ground its gasoline is refined at its plant at Hooven, Hamilton County, Ohio, and is not subject to any provisions of the Clayton Act or any other Federal Anti-Trust Act involving articles in interstate commerce. Frank A. Thompson, attorney, St.

Louis, appearing for the Shell-Union Oil Company, moved for the quashing of the service made on his company. He disclosed to Court the Shell-Union Company does not do business in Ohio, nor has it a representative in Ohio. It developed that the company doing business in Ohio is the Shell Petroleum Corporation, which has not been served in these proceedings. Robert A. Taft, appearing for the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, declared his company is an Ohio Corporation doing an lntra-state business only and for that reason it should be dismissed from this case.

KEEP OUT OF CRASHES For Economy's Sake, Board Advises City Drivers.

All city employees were requested to make every effort to lower th cost of upkeep on city-owned automobiles at a session of the Permanent Board of Inquiry yesterday. President J. Ben Grause said that all employees who drive city-Owned automobiles can be instrumental in lowering costs of maintenance by observing all traffic regulations and exercising the greatest possible precaution to avoid accidents. The Permanent Board of Inquiry investigates all accidents in which city automobiles are involved and is known to drivers of city automobiles as the "Benzine Board." Fifteen accidents were investigated at the session yesterday. Only one employee was held to responsible for damages to the automobile he was driving.

This employee was ordered to contribute $3 toward the expense of repairing it. Religious nother phase of the litigation result; nt from the divorce suit in Domestic Relations Court some years ago by Grace Diehl against George Diehl was passed upon in a decision handed down yesterday by Judges Kunkel, Allread and Horn- beck, of the Dayton Appellate Court District, who sat here in place of the First District Judges. This decision reverses a decision by Common Pleas Judge Dennis J. Ryan, who set aside a former alimony decree in the case, on the ground of fraud. Mrs.

Diehl and ber husband fought long In the courts in her divorce suit. Diehl named Robert Newhall, radio commentator, who afterward married Mrs. Diehl. After Judge Charles W. Hoffman had heard the case in Domestic Rela tions Court he dismissed the suit Then it was taken to Court of Appeals, which reversed Judge Hoffman and ordered the case sent back for a new trial.

Judge Hoffman refused to hear it a second time and it went before Judge Thomas H. Darby, who granted the wife a divorce, with real estate and $5,000 cash as alimony, she having testified that she had contributed money she had inherited toward the purchase of the real estate. After the decree the case was taken to Court of Appeals, which affirmed Judge Darby, after cutting off the $5,000 cash alimony. The Ohio Supreme Court refused to permit the case to come before it, and after his former wife had been married to Newhall, Diehl caused her arrest in Municipal Court on a charge of having given perjured testimony as to her con tribution to the purchase of the real estate. She was dismissed when the case was tried in Municipal Court.

Diehl's next move was to file suit to set aside the alimony judg ment on the ground that it was secured through fraud. Judge Ryan heard this and held that there was fraud and he set aside the judgment. Then the matter went to Court of Appeals upon this question and Attorneys Bert H. Long, Province M. Pogue and Robert H.

French appeared before the visit ing court for Diehl, with Attorneys Nichols, Morrow, Wood, Marx Ginter for the wife. In its opinion. Court of Appeals now holds that Diehl was bound by his petition which set forth the charge of false testimony, and also is bound by the fact that Mrs. Diehl was arrested on a perjury charge, and acquitted of it in Municipal Court. Further, the evidence by Mrs.

Diehl showed she did contribute $3,000 she had received, the Court declares. Therefore, the Upper Court says: 'Without considering the many other questions which counsel have presented, we are clearly of the opinion not only that the judgment of the Lower Courts should be re versed, but that this Court should proceed to render the judgment which the Lower Court should have rendered, To make a finding in favor of the defendant below, and to dismiss the petition of the plaintiff below." Alleging that she left him April 29, 1931, taking with her their fur niture and household effects, Hur ley L. Faul, 2938 Llewellyn Avenue, filed suit for a divorce, from Dorothy J. Faul, 3760 Reading Road. He also asks that she be barred from dower in property he owns in Loveland Park, Warren County.

They were married August 3, 1927, at Covington, he says. Martha Belle Adams, 3428 St. John's Place, charges neglect in her suit for a divorce from James E. Adams, 615 Fifth Avenue, Day ton, to whom she was married October 14 1927. She says she was forced to leave him December 10, 1931, because of his treatment of her.

She also asks that her maiden name, Cunningham, be restored to her. Judge Charles W. Hoffman, in Domestic Relations Court, granted the following divorce decrees yes terday: Catherine Samad, 39 West Corry street, from James Samad, neglect; Eva F. Phillips, 979 Oak land Avenue, from William M. Phillips, neglect, and Mae H.

Bloat, 1508 Pleasant Street, from Barnett H. Bloat, neglect. Youths Face Burglary Charges. Two indictments charging Har old Hatley, 2108 West Eighth Street, and William Wayhoff, 617 Church Street, with burglary, were returned by the Hamilton County Grand Jury yesterday, in a report to Judge Charles S. Bell, In Criminal Division.

A third indictment charged Hatley, individually, with another burglarly charge. Police arrested Hatley when an automobile in which he was riding with Robert Hoeltge, 17 years old, ran into a pole January 3. Hoeltge jumped out and ran, but was shot in his leg. His story resulted. In the arrest of Wayhoff, and the in dlctments against the three.

December 22, it is charged, Hatley broke into the Scheve Hardware Company's store, 2129 West Eighth. Street, and stole a number of shotguns, rifles, ammunition and cut lery, all valued at $161. Hatley and Wayhoff are charged with breaking into the Burke Grocery Company's store, December 16, stealing $62 worth of goods, and burglary of the stable of John Darby, January 3, 1933, from which 24 chickens, valued at $20, were taken. An indictment charging John Birch and Leo Mathls with receiv- ing stolen goods, resulted from the hardware company burglary, they being alleged to have purchased four rifles and four guns, stolen from the store by Hatley. Gus Brater faces two indictments charging him, with having forged checks on the Producers Coopera- tive Commission Association: Other indictments returned in the report yesterday were: Lucille Turner, as-sault to kill; James French, cut ting to kill; Harold Hayes and Eugene Jackson, burglary, and James robbery.

Simpson, it IS alleged, held up John Boom- baard, of the American Cone and Pretzel Company. A charge of manufacturing liquor, against Joe Falonl, and one of auto stealing, against James Turner, were ignored by the. grand jurors. Receiver For Norwood Company. Judge Stanley Matthews, In Com mon Pleas Court, appointed Howard proposed Solntion, Submitted Connty, Calls For Relief labor Assessments Cut.

What may be a solution of the difficulty of building the Bloody Bun sewer, to carry off thi water and sewage now flowing into that creek from Pleasant Ridge, Norwood and Bond Hill, was presented to the Hamilton County Commissioners yesterday. The plan was offered by John Raffety, County Sanitary Engineer; John Behla. President of the Bond Hill Welfare Association; Harry H. Baker, Mayor of Norwood, and Henry Cordes, State Legislator. It has for its ultimate object the construction of much of the work with funds provided for welfare work relief, thereby aiding the unemployment and cutting the costs if assessments against property owners virtually in half.

There 1s an additional proposition for the State Health Department to order the work dona by holding the creek to be a menace against health, in which event the county could issue bonds for the purpose, which would come outside of the 15-mill limita-tion in the tax levy, -i. Raffety said that the total estimated cost for the sewer, which Is Intended to connect with the Mill- creek interceptor sewer, is approximately $245,000. By using relief work funds the amount that must be assessed against property own ers would be cut to $98,825, approximately half of the total assessment otherwise, he said. It was this heavy assessment that caused pro tests from property owners that the amount would be confiscatory and far in excess of benefits to their property. Those protests caused the Com' mlssioners to lay aside the project tome months ago.

Raffety also said that the proposition would cut the county's share of the cost from $13,600 to about $7,000 and the city's portion from $13,700 to $9,900, Representative Cordea stated that the Legislature expects to make provision whereby relief funds can be used for labor on such projects, He declared that, if the employ ment of labor is staggered, the Wel fare Department can provide work for-between 300 and 400 laborers on the Bloody Run sewer project Mayor Baker pointed out that Norwood voters snowed under a proposition to issue $41,000 bonds for the work, but said the new pro- posal would reduce the amount needed by that city to $20,500. He said State Board of Health has declared Bloody Run to be a nuisance and a menace to health, and he' suggested 'that if 'the 'county cannot issue the bonds without the fifteen-mill limitation, the State Board might order the sewer built as a health measure, and the bonds then could be issued, outside the fifteen-mill limit. and without a vote of the people. The matter was referred to En gineer Rafferty and Fred K. Hoeh- ler.

Welfare Director, for an inves tigation, as to its possibilities. WAY IS CLEARED To Begin Work On Sewer Project Cost. To Be $550,000. Work may proceed at once on the Delhi-Sayler Park-Fernbank trunk sewer project, it was announced yesterday by William S. Edgemon Assistant City Solicitor, in charge of real estate.

In a letter to J. Root, Director of Public Works, Edgemon advised that the director may advertise for bids on the contract at once. Edgemon said that not all the rights of way re quired for the sewer have been ob tained, but that negotiations were in such- shape that the city could proceed. Residents of the three down-the-rlver suburbs have been clamoring for sewer facilities for many years. Many of the best residences have only cesspools for sewer facilities, and others dump their sewage by means of drains into open ravines, Health officials have condemned the conditions resulting from open sewers in the vicinity, and in hot weather many residents have com plained to Council concerning odors that result.

A large part of the trunk sewer Will be six feet in diameter and the sewer will have three outlets to the Ohio River. Plans for the sewer were completed many months ago bu litigation, which was necessary to obtain the right of way, delayed the oroleet The principal difficulty in these negotiations was caused by the fact that heirs of an estate own ine part of the right of way live in distant cities and it was necessary 1p obtain written consents to any agreements. Director Root also plans to start work on the last section of the Millcreek interceptor sewer early this spring. This section of the in terceptor, between Harrison Avenue and the Ohio River, win cost ouu 000. With both sewer projects under wav the city will have more than $1,000,000 worth of sewer work under construction and it is ex pected that unemployed labor will obtain considerable relief when the weather Dermits work to be started The Delhi-Sayler Park-Fernbank sewer will be built in three sections and three separate contracts may be let.

"It is up to the American econ omist," said Wilson, "to bring forth a new theory and way out.
