Gasoline Consumption
Pleasure Must Be
duced One Half to Insure
Supply for Essential Pur
poses To assure an ample supply of
gasoline and other fuels for the agri
cultural interests and other essential
industries in the Salt River valley, the
Standard Oil company will discontinue
deliveries in the city of PhoeViix be
ginning Sunday, May 30, and continue
this practice until the gasoline situa
tion is relieved, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by the
.Phoenix branch of the Standard.
The company adds that if the peo
ple will curtail the driving of pleasure
cars only 50 per cent of the usual
extent the shortage of gasoline will not
work a hardship on the public
Following is a statement issued May
516 by the California State Automobile
association following a conference be
tween, the executive committee of the
association and representatives of oil
companies and railroads:
Must Curtail Pleasure Consumption
There exists in California a tempo
rary gasoline shortage. To eliminate
this shortage and to supply industrial
and agricultural requirements we have
been convinced that It will be neces
sary for motorists ' throughout the
state to curtail the use of gasoline for
pleasure riding 50 per cent for a period
of approximately 10 weeks.
We are assured by representatives of

the oil companies that such curtail-1
ment will eliminate the present tem-i
porary shortage and bring about nor
mal conditions at the end of that
period. We learned, as -a result of this
conference, that there is less than two
days supply of gasoline in tanks on the
Pacific Coast.
Summing up the situation as now
existing, 70 per cent of the available
supply is required for industrial and
agricultural purposes. The present
temporary shortage of gasoline is
estimated at 15 per cent of the avail
able supply, leaving only 15 per cent
for pleasure riding. This plainly
means that all motorists throughout
the state must immediately reduce
their demands 50 per cent during this
period.
No Transportation Problem
The transportation problem no
longer exists and within two weeks
sections now without gasoline will
have been supplied. Exports for the
last five months, according to sta
tistics obtained from the government,
have averaged but two per cent of the
available supply. This exportation
was In conformity with existing con
tracts. Effective June 1, exports, we
are assured by the officials of the oil
companies, will be less than one per
cent, and no new export contracts Jiave
b;cn accepted for several months, al
will not be accepted. FVr each gallon
of gasoline exported from this coast,
four gallons of fuel have been brought
in from the east. At the present time
the shipments from the east average
six gallons for each gallon being ex
ported. '
We wish to advise the motoring pub
lic that there Is no occasion for alarm,
but to emphasize and to assure them
as the result of the statements made
us by the representatives of the oil
companies that the shortage is but
temporary and conditions will again
be normal at the end of tha ten weeks
conservation.

PROHIBITION AGENT
W. A. Benson, federal prohibition
agent, will leave the service of the
treasury department effective Jute 1,
to take an important position in Mex
ico. Mr. Benson's resignation came in
the nature of a surprise to many of his
associates, who learned yesterday of his
intentions through a letter to W. J.
Jordan, acting Supervising federal pro-
mbition agent at San Francisco. Mr
Benson's letter of resignation follows
"I have the honor hereby to tender to
you my resignation as federal prohibi
tion agent to take effect on the first
day of June, 1920. I wish to give you
my sincere thanks and express the keen
appreciation I have of the many cour
tesies extended during my tenure of
office and assure you I leave the serv
ice with regret and only because I have
received the offer of a position in the
Republic of Mexico, with a much in
creased compensation."
Federal Prohibition Director Webb
expressed great regret when informed
that Mr. Benson was resigning his po
sition as prohibition agent, stating that
Mr. Benson was peculiarly fitted by
education and experience to perform
the work required of a prohibition agent
and that he was sorry Indeed to lose his
services.

General Sampson la well qualified to
peak on the subject, as he has trav
eled in and studied Palestine. A New
York paper, commenting on a series
of lectures recently given by the gen

in a clear and.eaptivating manner, and
he relates what he has seen, making
a real lirerary treat, greatly delight
ing hia audience." The public has been
cordially invited to attend the lecture

HOW SHE PUNISHED
7 -BO,-OLD CHILD
Without a trace of emotion, Mrs.
Conchon Oliva yesterday described In
Justice Wheeler's court the cruel and
unnatural methods she used last Sun
day afternoon in punishing her 7-j-ear-
old daughter. Concha, by placing the
feet.oC the child in red hot coals. After
holding: her to answer to the superior
court under a bond of $2,500, Justice
Wheeler said that he did not feel that
the charge, which is aggravated as
sault, covered the case. He also asked
that the county attorney's office take
steps at once to have the sanity of the
woman adjudged.
Mrs. Oliva. sullen and brooding, took
the stand In her defense, but refused
to say why the punishment was given.
Sho said she took a clotn and spread
it out on the floor. After filling It
with red hot coals from a bonfire, she
said, she wrapped it about the feet
of the little girl, holding her in order!
that she could not escape, fcjhe saidi
she lost her temper dui was now
sorry. The expression on her face
while making the statement showed
no remorse.
Under cross examination by Her
man Lewkowitz, assistant county at
torney, Mrs. Oliva admitted that she
often lost her temper and was in the
habit of punishing her children, three
in number, with a heavy leather strap.
The other two children, she said, were
too young for punishment by burning.
Prior to the burning of her daughter s
foot Mrs. Oliva admitted, she had
beaten the little girl with the strap
L..i.-irur v,pr rlnwn several times. Two
. . - -
teeth she said, fell out during the beat
ing, but she added that they were
loose and ready to fall out. Concha
Mrs. Oliva said, was her own daughter.
- Two Mexican women living in the
same camp near Scottsdale, stated they
saw Mrs. Oliva beating her daughter
on Sunday afternoon and said thev
went to her and asked her not to
whip the girl any more. Mrs. Oliva,
they said, became very angry and
threatened to kill them with a butcher
knife if they interferred in any way
with the punishment. Mrs. Oliva then
took Concha in the house, they said
and the terrible screams of the little
girl through the burning attracted the
entire camp and the deputy sheriff
was called, they said.
Deputy Sheriff Rapp of Scottsdale,
to Phoenix last Sunday afternoon, eald
that when he arrived at the camp,
Mrs. Oliva was holding the entire camp
at bay. They were afraid of her, he
said, and eallM her insane. Augustine
Oliva, the head of the family, Deputy
Rapp said, wns absent from home
during the punishment. He was not In
court yesterday during the hearing.
Reports from St. Josephs hospital
who brought Mrs. Oliva and Concha where little Concha was taken on
Sunday night, were that she was re
covering from the effects of the burns.
Since being placed in the county jn.il.
Mrs Oliva has never asked eoncernni ?
the condition of her daughter. S.i
sits all day in the darkest corner of
the cell with a black lace mantel la
wrapped about her head, sullen and
brooding. She never looks up at the
officers when they bring her fool,
and never speaks.
