did not say that no gas is being wasted.
What l did say was published in the Ko-
kono Tribune yesterday, and is given be-
low:
Il do not anticipate shortage of gas in
the gas field or pipeline towns this year.
The larger gas companies are all making
extensive preparations for the coming Win
ter by extending their lines and drilling
additional wells. The large waste that was

wells that We're open then are now closed.
Some of them have been connected with
pipe lines and are supplying gas to facto-
ries 1t IS necessary to keep a constant
watch to keep these wells closed but where
well is found leaking a notice to the
owner has been sufficient so far The oil
companies are endeaVoring to obey the law
and show no disposition to evade it IL any
manner The leakage that has been found
at some places was the result of the i'm
perfect fittings used and the crude way in
which some of the wells have been closed"

statement in the Journal. | aimed to say
that the large waste that existed last year,

for legislative honors. There were two other

AMERICAN HONORED.
DIR. w. A. p. Martin Made President of
the University of China.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-The State De-
partment has received from Minister Con-
ger, at Picking, information that DR.. VIM.
A. p Martin has been appointed to the inn
portant post of president of the Imperial
University of China, recently established by
imperial decree. DR.. Martin is a citizen of
the United States. but went to China as
missionary about forty years ago. and has
passed most of his time since then in that
country In his knowledge of the people,
their language. folklore and customs, Min
lister Conger says, DIR. Martin is considered
to have no equal. He was president of the
Picking University for nearly thirty years,
and is the author of several works on China
and her people. The doctors appointment,
the minister adds. carries with it Chinese
official rank, and promotes him from the
blue to the red button-that is, from the
third to the second class. There was at first
considerable opposition to his appointment,
but particularly owing to the efforts of Lii
Hung Chang the matter was compromised
by the appointment of two presidents, DIR.
Martins colleague being Hsu Ming Cheng,
now minister TO Russia. The selection of
the corps of professors, some twenty not
including fifty native tutors, is left entirely
in the hands of DIR. Martin.
