shall be enforced against steamboats, for
transporting crude and refined petroleum
without special licenses. In other words,
does petroleum come under the class of
other explosive burning fluids? The Sec

decided that crude and refined petroleum
are of that character, and, until otherwise
ordered, these commodities can be carried
as freight without special license, proper
care being obser yed in its storage, with ref
