Terrific Waste Of Natural Gas.
Natural gas sufficient to light the
streets and homes, heat the buildings
and turn the factory wheels OF every
enterprise In Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans is going to waste in the
Caddo gas and oil fields near Shreve-
port, La, at the rate Of 100, 1000, 900 Gu
bic feet day. Gas is rushing from the
bowels of the earth through two wild
wells and over fifty gas and oil wells
left uncapped. The crater Of one wild

take what steps are deemed necessary
20 stop the terrific waste and preserve
what Is conceded to be the greatest
gas field in the western hemisphere.
In the meantime, says the Technical
World Magazine, the city Of Shreve-
port Is thronged with oil investors
from every section Of the country, rival
claims have been filed on govern
ment lands near the oil wells, the price
of real estate has reached heretofore
unheard of figures, men who a few
months ago held nothing but few

count their wealth by the thousands,
and armed guards stand watch over
ground which is claimed under various

is underlaid with two strata Of gas
sand averaging from 40 to 140 feet in
width, the first 800 to 900 feet beneath
the surface and the second lying be-
tween 1900 and 2,20O feet. The gas
sands show their greatest width at
Morningsport, which lies in the more

Senator Crawford Proposes
To Re-enact Commodities
Clause.
COAL RAILROADS
SURE TO OBJECT
Republican Progressives and Dem
ocrats' Only Hope of Bill Re-
stricting the Companies.
By J. c. WELLIvER.

Senator Crawford of South Dakota has
introduced a bill which is expected to
be the subject OF much controversy and
maneuvering- It proposes to reens ct the
commodities clause OF the Hepburn act,
in form in which It is believed certain
to Withstand the severest tests OF the
courts.
The commodities clause. forbiddlng
railroads TO transport articles which
they had produced or in which they
were interested, was regarded as one Of
the most important features Of the
Hepburn act. It required that railroads
engaged as manufacturers or as miners,
must dispose Of these outside interests
and conhne themselves strictly and
solely TO transportation.
Unexpected Happened.
When the first case involving this act
reached the Supreme Court. the unex-
pected happened. II had been realized
that the law presented some close ques-
tions. one was whether the retroactive
feature Of the act would stand. that Is.
whether railroads could be compelled to
DISPOSE of interests they had acquired
before the law passed. This was con
sidered very uncertain, though It was
commonly expected that the court would
sustain the right Of Congress to pro-
hibit interstate railroads, in future, TO
acquire such properties.
But the court decision didn't worrv
nj all about this retroactive feature Of
the law. Indeed. the court seemed to
he Of the opinion that there was no OBJ
lection TO this. Instead, the measure
was overturned on the ground that its
language was not sufficiently. specific

To Meet Objections.
The Crawford bill IS designed 10 be

points, and Is drawn with the view to
meeting exactly the objections raised
by the Supreme Court IN the case de-

The coal railroads are strongly op-
posed to such legislation, and there has
always been sentimental opposition to
their coal mines, perhaps under unfavor-
able circumstances. This opposition is
