Citizens Federation TO Take Up
Clayton Protest at Meeting
Tonight.

Suffrage will be the chief topic Of
discussion at the meeting Of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association. at the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce to-
night. The question will be brought
forward in the resolution introduced at
the last meeting by William NJ. Clayton.
which embodies a formal protest against
suffrage for the District, IL 1t involves
the sacrifice of the half-and-half prin-
ciple of paying municipal expenses.
The resolution sets forth that the
first duty of the citizens OF the District
is to insist always that Congress shall
dreserve inviolate the fundamental
principle Of the organic act OF 1878, and
that any movement for suffrage must be
subordinated to the preservation of that
compact
The resolution met with no opposition

final action was deferred for the purpose
of giving the members time to give the
subject attention and prepare themselves
to discuss 1t more at length than the
time offered at the last meeting permit
ted.
1t is likely that some reference will be
made tonight to the proposed merger
of the street railway and lighting prop
critics OF the District and nearby sub
urban territory. 1t Is understood that
a resolution on the subject may be pre-
scented and discussed. IL time permits.

scheme FOR USING
uQU|FIED FREE Gas
BUREAU OF MINES PLANS no
UTILIZE A BY-PRODUCT OF
THE OIL FIELDS.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The
waste of millions of dollars worth Of
natural gas which is going on each
year in the petroleum fields of the
country may be stopped in the near
future by plan made public today
by the federal Bureau of Mines.
Briefly, the plan as outlined by the
oil experts of the bureau is to take
the so-called wet gas" found in all
the oil fields and obtain from it a
liquified gas that can be used for H.
Illuminating purposes This liquified
gas, which is by-product of the nat
ural gas, is held under high pressure
in steel containers and can be shipped
to localities that do not have a gas
system. In this way, small towns, ho-
tells and country estates may have
the advantage Of gas ILLUMINATION at
a fair cost. This gas, Z is thought
will also prove an excellent illumi-
nant for lighthouses and lightships
and other public works of a similar
nature that must be located at a dis
tance from a commercial supply Of
gas
Irving c. Allen, the oil expert, in
discussing this byproduct of natural
gas SAYS: The possibility of hand
ling this liquified gas in the way that
Pintsch and Blau gases are handled
opens a new field of comparatively
great importance in the natural gas
industry an dshould add materially
to the Investments made in the So
called natural gasoline industry"

ed by the tinkling Of broken window

It sped by their heads. passing be-
tween them and missing both by only
q few inches.
The spent bullet lodged in large
vase on the other side of the room,
and fell TO the floor. flattened out.
Mr.. Leahy yesterday reported this
matter to the sheriff but so far moth
ing has been accomplished towards
finding the near murderer.
Mr.. Leahy stated that II he had any
enemies, he did not know of II. He
said he saw the flash of the shot. and
it appeared about eight feet from the
window. When he looked out no one
was I'm sight. the dark night might
make 1T easy for any one to conceal
himself.

Hate accounts appear to show that
the blanket lease proposition is not
held in much favor by the depart
ment at Washington. This shows
what an active body of men can do
when opportunity is rightly seized
and put 10 use. When the independ-
ents commenced action in that mat
ter 1t appeared to be settled that a
lease was to be made to four dunn
mics" The Usage council seems to
be under some suspicion of being
ready to put one over the nation,
and the game seemed to be up. The
independents got busy and they
spiked that gun very readily. Then
another plan developed by which a
cooperative body of Independents es-
sayed to put the same centralizing
and privileg promoting principles as
were the fault of the first lease, into
force for their benefit. This was mo
better than the first to those who
contend for an open field for all com
petitors for territory. And a few Of
those acted. The result Is that they
have made the secretary see what he
might not have seen II they had not

There have been many mysteries
made of drilling wells in the times
past, and many amusing stories go to
make up the lore of the oil fields;
among them, perhaps one Of the most
amusing is told about Theodore
Barnsdall and Jim Shea. Mr.. Barns
DAN was drilling a well and Black
Jim, as Shea was familiarly known,
owned an adjoining piece Of ground,
which Barnsdall had been trying to
buy, but Shea had refused to let loose
at any price. Shea was there to see
the Barnsdall well drilled in and II
appeared TO be dry, so he called on
Theodore and said, Give me a dol
lar for my property and here's hop
ing that If you ever come out my way
again you'll fall off the hill out there
and break your neck" Barnsdall got
the assignment for a dollar and then
drilled the well in, and it was q
crackerjack. Shea is dead now, but
was a great joker In his day, and this
was about the only time any one ever
put anything over on him.
