GAS WELL AGAIN GETS AWAY
Iron Hood MeIted by Intense Heat

PoUsp Forth.

CANEY, Kan. March 12--The great gas

yesterday with a huge iron hood after II
had burned without restraint for seven
teen days. consuming millions Of feet Of
gas, burst forth again tonight. After hav-
ing confined the are for twelve hours the
hood was perfoIsttrd today by the tre-
mendous force OF sand and flame beneath
it and soon becanie heap OF scrap iron.
Conditions at tho burning gas well are
worse tonight than at any time since the
FIRE started. A verltablo mountain of flame
is now pouring from the well and the hood
and huge system Of pipes which were yes
terday used in vain attempt to cap
the gasser are efther a molten mass or
are warped and twisted by the intense heat
Trees at a considerable distance, which
had put out leaves as a result Of the
artificial heat. are now on fire. After the
sand cut through the hood II collapsed so
rapidly that not sven the truck system OF
pipes resting upon II could be removed
from danger. But the loss of the hood
and almost the entire system of connec-
tions does not appear to discourage the
men in charge, az they are now engaged
in the construction OF a new hood and
the material is on the way to replace the
other parts which have been rendered USE
less by the heat.

RATE REIMBURSEMENT ASKED
Missouri River Jobbers Present
Claims TO western Trunk
Lines Association.

CHICAGO. March 1s,--CSpecial Telegram.)
"A delegation OF. Missouri river jobbers
fifty strong invaded Chicago today to pre-
sent their claims for a reduction in through
rates from the Atlantic sesboard to the
river before the Western Trunk Lines
association The committee of three repre-
senting Chicago. ST. Louis and quincy, was
almost crowded out.
The meeting resulted in nothing definite
more than promise to consider the pro-
posed reduction OF rates and instructions to
w. A. Hosmer of the association to pre-
pare a schedule showing how far-reaching
the proposed reduction would be and how
It would affect the revenues OF the railroads.
The chief argument was presented by w.
P. Trlckett of the Kansas City freight bu-
reau. ell Acknowledged that the leading
reason for seeking fhe reduction was to
gain an advantage over the Chicago job
bers and it was declared to be of no bene-
ht to Missouri rivgF points to have a rel
ative reduction of Sthe local rates between
Chicago or ST. Louis and the Missouri
river, and that they we're against the prop
fosition. .U
1t is thought the Missouri river men would
have done better totake their complaint dl-
rectly to the InteTytate Commerce commits
