STEEL HOOD DROPPED OVER BIG
GAS WELL.
But GAS IS STILL BURNING.
Valve n Hood Makes Il Possible to
Turn of the Cast Has Cost Fif-
teen Thousand Dollars to Cap can
ey's Big Gas Wen.

Caney, Kan, March 14.-The burn
Ing gas well on the Vanderpool farm,
section 10, township 26, range 10,
Cherokee nation, is capped and un.
der control.
Although the fire is still burning,
we have the we'll under control, said
Superintendent Landon.
Monday was spent repairing the
small damage Of Saturday nights
trial and strengthening weak points,
Late this afternoon the steel hood, TO
which had been attached 1900 pounds
additional weight, was swung by the
big crane over the hole. Gracefully
and without CULVER, 1t settled down
over the burning well, as successfully
as predicted in The Journal dis
patches Sunday night. fe
/ The perpendicular vent was left
open and the great tongue Of Are rush
ed through 1t and blazed higher than
ever, In the heavens. Then the valve
was slowly shut off, until It was found
the cap was successfully set, when
the gate was again opened and the
gas permitted to burn. There 'is moth
ing yet TO prevent the gas from burn
Ing around the bottom of the hood. II
the gate on the valve were to be com
pletely shut, thus throwing the gas
down to the ground, which has not
had time yet to cool off. For two
weeks the earth around the well has
been like molten lava, and It is deem
ed advisable to permit the gas to
burn in the air while the ground is
cooling. fttftfs q1Saes
A fresh force of men was sent out
to the well to bank earth around the
hood and play streams of water upon
1t. The gas will be diverted from the
pipes which lead from the we'll to the
open field, where it will be permitted
to burn until the derrick over the we'll
can be rebuilt. Then it will be shut
off and the work of casing and pack
ing the well. which was in progress at
the time 1t was struck by lightning,
February 20. will be completed
Oil and gas men are congratulating
the company upon their success In
getting the fire under control in so
short a time. 1t had been freely pre-
dicted by experienced gas men that II
would take weeks to do the work.
Other wells have been known to burn
for more than year. 1t had been
said the company was permitting the
well to burn for advertising purposes,
but the fact Is the company has work
ed night and day and shipped apparat-
us to the well by special train In order
to get the fire out quickly as possible.
1t is estimated 1t has cost $4,000 to
shut this we'll in. In the meantime,
all the companys big business has
been at standstill. Letters still con-
tinue to be received from all points
Of the United States from people who
wanted to put out the fire, from the
man who offered to do it gratiously to
the one who demanded that $4,000
be sent before he would divulge his
plans.
One of the most unusual features of
the fire was the fact that the well
grew continuously stronger, and was
the worst the night before 1t was put
under control. when the roar could be |
heard for the first time in Independ-
ence, twenty six miles away.

new BRUNSWICK ELKS
CANNOT Get A CHURCH
Pastors at County Seat Refuse Use
of Edifice- will Hold Service
in Their Hall.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 27:-
The local lodge of Elks has been un-
able to secure a local church for its
memorial services next Sunday, and
will consequently hold them in its
lodge rooms Since the institution
of the lodge the services have been
held in the First M. E. church. This
year the Elks cannot hold the SER
vices there. The church accommo-
dates about 1,400, while the lodge
rooms will hold but 400 people.
The Rev. J. F. Shaw, when asked
this afternoon why the Elks could not
have his church, said that notice was
given to the lodge at the time of the
last memorial service that the church
could not be rented in the future
The order does not apply solely to
the Elks, he explained, but to every
body. 1t was found that applications
for the church were coming in rapid
ly, on account of the central location
of the building and that extra meet
ings held there by outside parties in
terfered with the regular Sunday
school and church services.
The officers of the church there
upon voted that the church in the
future should not be used for any
purpose other than church worship,
excepting for the Sunday school ex-
ercises which are held at Christmas
and Easter.

new AMUSEMENT TO
OPEN HERE THIS WEEK
Will be Known as the Palace Arc
ade and to be Located in the
Runyon Building.

A new amusement parlor to be
known as the Palace Arcade, consist
ing of moving picture entertain
ment and an arcade will be opened
in the Runyon building at 100 Smith
street on either Friday or Saturday of
this week. One of the company,
which is composed of New York and
local men, said today that for the
present only the first floor of the
building would be used, but in the
near future an up-to-date arcade with
all the latest penny machines would
be in evidence. When the building
is opened for the first time the first
floor will be fitted with seats for $50
people, piano, a picture screen and
an operators stand. "Only the best
pictures are to be used" said the rep
resentative of the concern, 'and they
will be changed three times week.
Another feature of the new place will
be that illustrated songs will be rem
denerd by male singer instead of by
a phonograph. The admission to the
arcade will be free, but an entrance
of 5 cents will be charged to enter
the moving picture show.
The place will be managed by an
experienced man from New York city.

specia, to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 27:-
Fred Lang, who is in Jail awaiting
the decision of an appeal made by
his lawyers after he had been found
guilty of numbering his niece, Kate
Gordon, at Bonhamtown, set fire to his
straw mattress in his cell last night
and was nearly suffocated by the
smoke. Other prisoners were also in
great danger and there was not little
excitement.
Lang has been acting strangely for
some time. A few weeks ago he
wanted a rope so he could hang him
self. Some think he is insane while
others believe he is only trying to
make it appear SO to save his life.
The other prisoners were the first
to give the alarm last night. They
detected the odor of smoke and the
keepers were hastily summoned 1t
was readily traced to Lang's cell BY
this time the mattress was smolder-
ing at great rate and it was with
difficulty that the rescuers got into
the place to get the prisoner
The bed was dragged out and al
lowed to burn up. A closer watch
is to be kept on Lang.

MATAWAN, Nov. 27:-The heirs
of John Whiteman, who with his son,
George Whiteman, were murdered in
their lonely wayside hotel, Rooster
1nn,' on the road from Old Bridge
to Matawan, on May last, have Of
fered reward of $500 for the de-
lection of the murderers, in the name
of the J. Whiteman estate. The re-
ward is to be in addition to the
81 900 reward offered by the Board
of Freeholders.
The heirs are two sons and a
daughter of John Nhiteman. They
have made personal Investigations
which their friends believed were at
the risk of their own lives, for it has
seldom been doubted that the cul-
prits were desperate characters liv-
ing in the neighborhood of Old
Bridge, who would stop at nothing
to conceal traces of their crimes.
The Whiteman murders followed
close upon the mysterious killing of
Mrs. Rachel Wright, an aged woman,
of Old Bridge, who was brutally beat
en- to death in the cottage where she
lived as recluse. Her skull was
beaten in, but the clumsy assassins
tried to conceal their crime by cut
ting her throat and placing a dull
case knife in her hand to give semb-
lance of suicide.
George Whiteman, it was said,
openly declared that he had positive
evidence as to who killed Mrs.
Wright Within a week after he ut
tered this. he was shot in his own
saloon. The lay of the room showed
that his aged father must have come
in just as George was finishing up.
The father was dubbed to death with
a shovel. The crime was not dis
covered for several hours, and in the
meantime the murderers escaped ow-
ing to the inability to get blood
hounds to follow their trail, a rain
having obliterated all traces.

TRENTON, Nov. Predetermined
that there shall be no cessation Of
/ hostilities against the existence OF
corrupt practices at elections, and
equally determined to press the fight
against vote-buying to every quarter
of the state, the Anti Bribery Leagues
of Mercer and Monmouth counties
Will, in the near future, confer with
view of establishing state organ-
ization of the Anti-Bribery League. +
An effort will be made not only to-
organize state body, but also to
have established an Anti-Bribery
League in each of the twenty-one
counties, besides having organiza-
tions in all of the large cities.
The movement is still in an enibryJ
onic state, and little will be known
as to just what lines this extensiye
work will be established along until
December 13, when for the first time
since before election, the Mercer
County Anti-Bribery League will
meet, and will be in conference with
a delegation from Monmouth county.
Call State Conference.
1t is believed by those at the head
of the state organization scheme that
sufficient progress will be made at
the session next month to warranti
the issuance of call for a state con-
ference to take place In this city
early next January. An early con-
ference is deemed advisable because
it is believed that with anti-bribery /
made state instead of county is
sue, it would give the movement
prestige that would be recognized by
the legislators, and thus insure b
hearing on the matter Of anti-bribery
legislation for which 1t is the purpose \
of the league to fight.
With state league well under way
before the next legislature convenes, !
it would be possible for the league to &
formulate plans for the Introduction
of real corrupt practices act to
supplant the emasculate measure
that the republican legislature made
into a law last winter.
More Anti-Bribery Laws.
Anti-bribery laws teeth, laws that
will be drawn along the lines of those
in vogue in Massachusetts, where it
is possible to punish both bribe taker
and bribe giver by Imprisonment, Is
one of the strongest planks in the
platform on which the democrats
were swept into office on wave Of
public indignation against republican
corruption November 6 last, and
these prediction pledges the demo-
Gratis will endeavor to keep. At
lesat such measures will be intro
duced Senator Minturn, of Hudson.
who will be the democratic leader in
til" upper branch of the Legislature,
sa SO, and the influence of the
/ son man with his colleagues is
unquestioned. If these anti-bribery
bills are not enacted, 1t will at least
not be the fault of the democrats.
They will be introduced by the demo-
Gratis, fathered by them and put up
to the republican senate to either
sanction or destroy. -

WIFE RELENTS AND
ASKS HIS RELEASE

The wife of Mike Gondura appear
ed at the police station this morning

her husband. AS told i'll the NEWS
