CITY OF MEXICO, May 19.-The
committee on finance of Congress has
reported favorably the bill prepared

sf2IKE FLOW OF
s NATURAL GAS

RENO, New, May 19.-While bor-
ing for water on the island ranch
owned by State Senator Douglass in
Churchill county, laborers encounter
ed strong flow of natural gas. The
find has created considerable excite
ment in the section, which is close to
Fallon. The flow is strong and steady.
The gas was lighted soon after it was
discovered and burned several hours,
or until it was extinguished by the
laborers, who hurried to Fallon to
report their find.
Arrangements even now are under
way to pipe the gas to Fallon and
surrounding mining camps. 1t is be-
lieved that the gas overlies an oil
strata, the discovery of which means
the solving of the fuel problem in Me-
vada.

{. v. GRAY MADE
SECRETARY G. D. P.
STATE COMMITTEE
Appointment Made Today by
Former Governor Franklin
Murphy, Chairman.
MR.. GRAY TO BEGIN
WORK WITHOUT DELAY
Headquarters for State Commit
tee Will Be Established Here
Within a Few Days.

Chairman Franklin Murphy. of the
Republican State Committee, today ap-
pointed Edward w. Gray, of this city
as secretary of the committee, to sue
ceed Judge Malcolm MacLear, who
wishes to retire on account of the judi
cial position he holds.
Mr.. Gray's name had been mentioned
with those of others for the place, but
it was not until this morning that the
proffer was made by Mr.. Murphy and
accepted by Mr.. Gray. The latter was
private secretary to Governor Edward
C. Stokes for three years, and previous
to that was business manaSer of the
Newark Advertiser.
Mr.. Gray will commence work at
once. He had preliminary talk today
with Mr. Murphy, but further plans
will be made at later talks.
Headquarters for the State commit
tee will be established in the rooms of
the county Republican committee Ar
rangements were completed today with
Chairman Dalrymple and Secretary
John r. Flavell for the suitable parti-
tioning of the place for the use of the
State committee.
Mr.. Murphy said that he had not yet
made up the personnel of the executive
committee. The appointments of it and
of the State secretary were delegated to
him last week by the State committee.
When asked what he believed to be
the prospects of the party in the State,
Mr.. Murphy refused to make any pre-
dictions in figures at this time, but said
he had no doubt the State would be Re-
publican, as it has been for the last
fifteen years.
"Any estimate in figures now would
be only guesswork." said the chair
man, but IN about month I expect
to have affairs so systematized that
we will probably be able to get close
estimate of what the majority will be-"
Mr.. Murphy said that the outdoor ac-
tive speaking campaign would not be
commenced until about six weeks be-
fore the election. This means work will
start right after the State primaries
on September %. The publicity cam
paign will be commenced as soon as
possible, and il is expected to have the
publicity bureau working next week.
Secretary Gray has had experience In
this special line. and it is intended to
make it strong preliminary feature of
the campaign.
When the speaking campaign begins
it is Chairman Murphy's purpose to
have some of the strongest men in the
United States here. The national
speakers campaign will be in charge
of General T. Coleman Dupont, of
Delaware, between whom and Mr.
Murphy especially friendly relations
exist.

"I am ready to tell the whole story
of the awful orgies these negroes pre-
pared for me-" declared Laura Hughes,
the 16-year-old girl, when she appeared
in the First Precinct Court today TO
prosecute the "Devil Chasers," who
had held her prisoner, She said that
under the guise of a fanatical religion
they had held other girls prisoners.
The prosecutor, however, was no
ready to proceed, and the case was car
ried over until tomorrow.
The girl was there to testify against
John Heckerson, the leader Of the sect,
and his assistant, William Smith. The
girls father and the negroes were ar
rested after the girl escaped.
Hughes claims that he is not in n
cell, saying. There are no cells where
there is trust in .he Lord" and he and
his negro companions have made night
hideous III the station by singing and
asking the other prisoners to join them.
1t is the belief of Hughes's friends that
he is insane.
The girl says that one of the negroes
kissed her and only desisted when she
screamed.
Her father and the negroes declare
that there are devils in the girl and her
little brothers and sisters that have to
be driven out.
The prosecutors office is Investigating
the matter thoroughly, and with the aid
of Laura Hughes expect to make more
arrests. The court room was filled with
negroes today waiting for the case TO
come up,

Declaring That Newly Promoted
Captains and Lieutenants Get
Old Salaries, He Returns Roll.
ONE CAPTAIN OUT OF
THREE GETS ADVANCE
The Other Two Can Have Only
the Honor Until They Are
Given Companies.

City Auditor George Forman today
refused to certify the fire department
payroll for the first half of the cur
rent month, because he believes two of
the men appointed captains and two of
the men promoted to be lieutenants in
the department are not entitled, in Mr..
Forman's opinion. to the increased
salaries of the grade to which they
were pamed. Mr.. Forman has returned
the payroll for correction.
The appointment of Captain John j.
Towey to be battalion chief is not ques-
toned. Mr.. Forman says only one Of
three lieutenants promoted to be cap
tains and only one Of three men pro-
NOTED to lieutenants are entitled under
the law to the salaries of the positions.
Mr.. Forman does not question the
rank of the men in the department,
but he does doubt his authority to
audit the payment of the increased
salaries to the promoted men.
1t will now be for the Fire Commits
sioners to decide which of the pro-
NOTED men are to get the salaries of
the places to which they We're raised
1t is possible that some arrangement
may be effected Ly which the men will
get the salary, but no one at present
knows what can be done. 1t was said
that the promoted men might retain
their rank without the salary of the
higher Office until an arrangement that
suits the auditor is made.

Mrs. Eaton was lying on a couch in

suddenly entered the room. She asked
him who he was and he told her to re-
main quiet that he was a bad man and
might hurt her. The thoroughly
aroused woman grabbed hold of him
and was thrown roughly off. Her as

Taking his choice of endangering his

ber of women and children. today,
Driver Joseph Brown, of Self-Propeller
No. 8, the hoodoo automobile engine,
ran the big f1ve-ton machine on the
sidewall, at Market and Ward streets.
In doing this, Brown narrowly missed
a collision with the Central avenue car
that cut off his passage over Market
street.
The machine was coming down Ward
street in answer to the alarm of fire
on Ferry street. Running almost at
top speed, the machine ran out OF
Ward street and was about to turn
into Market when Brown saw that
the street was blocked with women
and children Thinking to run the
ponderous engine across the street, the
man saw that he was cut off by car
Brown shot between the crowd in the
street and the curb. With one frantic
twist of the wheel the driver sent the
engine up the curb.
Grazes Telegraph Pole.
The driver ran so close to telegraph
pole that many of the women screamed,
thinking they would see the driver and
the other firemen dashed from the
swaying engine and crushed.
When the engine tore around the cor
ner of Ward street and a collision
seemed unavoidable between the ma
chine and the car, women in the car
screamed and ran for the doors, ana
many of the men tried to force their
way out ahead of the children and
women. The motorman put on full
power and the car shot ahead at its
best speed. The conductor was the
coolest man aboard. He stood in the
rear door and quieted the frantic
women.
When the scramble of those in the
roadway had stopped and they returned
to the engine on the sidewalk it. was
found that the machine was hard and
fast The front right-hand wheel had
torn up the pavement for about fifteen
feet and was stuck q foot and half
deep in the dirt under the flagstones.
After many endeavors to run the en-
CINE out on its own power it was
found necessary to Jack the forward
wheel up and put riding beams under
IT. This was done after much labor.
Brown, the driver, in speaking of the
matter said: 'I won't say that I was
nervous, but I tell you something cold
seemed to run down my back when I
saw all those women and children in
the street and my way cut off by that
car. First ] thought of taking a
chance on ramming the car and then
7 thought If I did that passengers in
the car would be killed We would
have knocked that thing off the track
If we had hit it, Then I thought of
running up the curb" Brown doesn't
think he did anything heroic.
The fire was in the dye shop of
Joseph Grammar, 10 Ferry street, and
was out when the apparatus got there.

} When asked If he had anything to
say in the case by a reporter after the
hearing, Colonel Freeman said: mo;
nothing but that. so far as 1 can see,
1t is mere speculation on the part OF
this man Spelshouse. Myself and an
other New Yorker, Fred L. Small, were
in the brokerage business until two
years ago. We had bought bonds
amounting to something like s2,700
from him to dispose of, We failed,
and since then L have agreed to re-
imburse him. l have already given
him 500 of that money. and intend to
return the full amount as my means
allow me.
"Since I last saw Spelshouse. so
have heard, he has changed his lawyer
and entered into a deal with a New
York concern which agrees to get your
money back in case of failure or ask
no pay. Should this concern get the
money an equal division is made with
the man at loss"
