ported that they have had every care and
personal attention He said the person

be without proper authorizations that any
authorized representative of the Italian
government was at liberty TO see and speak
with every individual Italian in the hos
pital and this privilege has already been
awaited of. Ii also has been charged that
the Italians who were killed outright in
the railroad wreck. or who died in the hos
pital were hastily buried In order TO make
way with evidence that might be used as
q basis for claims on this point DR.
Morohouse reports that every effort was
made TO identify the dead. and where those
efforts failed the bodies were carefully
numbered and photographs taken OF the

WASTE OF GAS.
Conditions Said to Be Criminal in thu
Indiana belt.

Muncie Morning News.
All over the north and northwestern
parts OF the county the waste of gas, from
leaking pipe lines. is notorious. This waste
has been going on for years; all along the
highways the sound of escaping gas may
be heard. and often it is lighted by mis-
chievous persons and burns for days. In
many places where gas is used. il is al
lowed TO escape al the regulators on the
premises and many of the wells used BY
trainers are not properly secured by gate
valves Thus. taking all the ways through
which gas escapes. and that constantly il
makes drain on the gas field of sufficient
fuel 10 supply a thousand families for all
GOmestice uses. In fact. il is stated bv
conservative persons that there is more
gas wasted from the mains in the field
than is used by consumers Some of the
lines of the corporations also are faulty
as 10 leaks.
The summer season is the time when
these things should be remedied In most
places IL will be necessary TO shut of the
gas at the wells while repairs are being
made. This can be done now. without dis
commoding anyone, while in the winter
when the weather is cold. the work cannot
be done without great inconvenience
The state gas inspector should place a
deputy in the field al once, whose duty II
should be 10 nunt UP these infractions Of
the law and see that all leaks are stopped
before cold weather sets in.

Foreign consumption is light, judging by
