HEAR ARGUMENTS IN OESTERREICH CASE LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.—Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich, awaiting trial in the superior court charged with the murder of her husband, Fred Oesterreich, wealthy Milwaukee clothing manufacturer, was scheduled today to renew her fight before Superior Judge Reeve for her release on bail from the county jail until her trial.

Because of the length of the transcript of the preliminary hearing, the judge took the matter under consideration and set today as a date for arguments on the motion. BERGER HALF ACRES LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.—Gasoline sold for ten cents a gallon in Los Angeles today. Not all the service stations reduced their prices to this amount; but ten-cent sign was displayed at several filling stations and as a result motorists lined up in two columns to fill their fuel tanks. For some time motorists have been able to secure gasoline as low as 13 cents a gallon in the oil field intricts and 14 cents per gallon is a common price paid in Los Angeles proper. The "big four" composed of the Standard, Union, Shell and Venture companies continued today to hold out for 17c per gallon or 15c per gallon to coupon book holders and refused to comment on whether they would make a new slash in price. Several motorists declared they get as good mileage from the 13c gasoline as they did from the higher priced fuel. The independent dealers say they are selling at a low price because of an overstocked market. CITIZENS' DUTY TO REPORT OIL CROOKS SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—"Periodically a flood of anonymous communications charging violations of the law against oil promotion schemes swamp the state corporation offices," declared Edwin M. Daugherty, corporation commissioner today, "but such communications can be given no recognition." "It is the duty of every citizen knowing of any gross irregularity in the operation of business of a company coming under the supervision of the state corporation department to advise this department, the commissioner declared, "but we must have the name of the person naming the complaint." Utmost care is used in guarding the identity of reputable citizens lodging a complaint," Daugherty added. WOLVERINES PICNIC Dr. M. R. Parmelee, president of the Michigan Ass'n of So.
