LANGTRY DIVORCE CASE
INTERVIEW WITH TIL HUSBAND OF
THE ENGLISH ACTRESS.
He Says He Never Received n Penny
from His Wife-CnlifOrnia Courts
Citation Burned.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a pecial TO the
World from London says: che statement
cabled here that Mrs. La ry is making a
third effort TO secure n diN orce in Califor-
MIA has prompted quite contrary sugges-
tons II, the London press; first. that her
husband demands too large a price for his
consent. and again, that the general belief
that he has been receiving an allowance
for his complacence must be untrue, since
he would otherwise be very willing TO re-
ceive the capita sum at once rather than
depend on uncertain payments.
Mr.. Edward Langtry, the husband. is now
living at Southampton. where he was inter-
viewed by a reporter, TO whom he SAID; L
have seen in a San Francisco paper that my
wife has given me a regular allowance OF
$3.50 a year. / want TO state that i have

Before bringing the interview TO a con-
cluSion Mr.. Langtry handed to the cor
respondent the following signed document;
Il have this day told the New York Worlds

tiers regarding the citation served on me,
which was issued by a judge in a San

otherwise would have been. Truth will in
this case prevail as certainly as 1T does in
all cases where justice obtains"
At last accounts Mrs. Langtry was at
Monte Carlo.

Old Gas Wells Revived.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Jan. 5.-The claim that
the reason for decreased gas pressure was
owing TO the fact that the wells become
clogged resulted in an experiment on two
abandoned wells in this county to see the
effect. The casing was removed and the
drill sent down. About one hundred feet
from the bottom it struck IA solid sub
stance, which when drilled through was
found TO be pieces of shale and rock so
tightly wedged and welded together by the
pressure of the gas as to effectually clog
the flow. When it had been pierced and
the wells drilled deeper the flow was great
ly increased. The two wells are now
hitched on the mains again and are assist
ing in supplying the consumers. 1t Is
claimed that the wells could be improved
if they were regularly cleaned out.

Gas wells Become oilers.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Jan. 5.-The
first gas we'll drilled in this city and owned
by the Citizens Gas Company has sudden
ly turned into an oiler and has been shut
off from the gas mains and abandoned as
unfit for gas purposes. This is a great sur
prise to many people in Hartford City
and great hopes are entertained of finding
oil in paying quantities within the city
limits. The Utility Paper Company's gas
well. which has been used to furnish fuel
for its plant, is also producing about a
barrel OF oil a day. These wells are all
bordering on the Lick creek bottoms. Lick
creek itself Is covered with oil and 1t Is
certain that oil can be found here in
abundance. When the two wells above
mentioned were first drilled they were regu-
las gas gushers without the least sign of
oil. Eastern oil men here have always
contended that the whole Indiana gas belt
would be I'm time one vast oil field and the
showing of oil in the two wells here bear
out their statements.
