AUSTIN, Mar. 28 ■— (UP) —
District Judge J. D. Moore held
the Texas anti-trust act valid here
today in 98th district court, in
over.'ing a general demurrer by
ou companies to Attorney General
James V. Allred’s suit for ouster
of 17 oil concerns and $17,850,-
000 penalties.
Judge Moore gave no reasons in
announcing his ruling, but said he
would do so later if it is necessary.
“After listening to able arguments
upon one side,” he said. "It ap-
peared that one conclusion was
right, and then the arguments of
the other side would force the
conclusion that such an opinion
was incorrect.”
Prepare Exception*
Presentation of special ------
tions the* was begun by
Baker of Dallas. He
would apply equally to the Shell
Union, the Socony Vacuum and
the Standard Oil of California.
If the court sustains these ex-
ceptions it will not prevent trial
of the suit, as the state will have
the right to amend its pleading.
Attorney General Allred said the

Ten negroes were arrested and

criminally assaulting a white girl
and wounding her escort.
Escort I« Shot
Last night’s victim, Miss Opal
Whitworth, 23, was attacked by a
large negro, she told police, after stopped
the negro had shot her escort, ”
Doyle Sinclair, 22, and wounded
her when she resisted his ad-
vances.
AUSTIN, Mar. .28 — (UP) <—
Erig. Gen. Jacob F. Wolters, re-
cently in command of the National
Guard forces in the East Texas oil
fields, here today proposed that
the state comptroller be given a
force of at least 75 men to break
up gasoline bootlegging..
The bootlegging of gasoline
without payment of the four cents
a gallon tax, has reached alarm-
ing proportions, General Wolters
said. He estimated that Texas is
losing at least $2,000,000 a year
it should collect in -tax.
Many Evasion*
Parst of the exasion is done by
false entries, party by mixing with
kerosene, and part by hauling at
night.
State Highway Departm sat
forces have ordered enforcement
of an old law requiring all gaso-
line containers hauled over the
roads to be plainly marked with
the name of theowner. This law,
first enacted as a safety measure,
is found to help prevent tax eva-
sions.
