M0DIFIES REGULATIONS.
Secretary Lane Permits Towns to
Make Natural Gas Tests.

To permit the municipalities of Grey
bull and Basin to test the existence of a
supply of natural gas within the out
standing petroleum government reserves
in Wyoming. Secretary Lane of the Inte-
rior Department is willing to modify the
regulations. He so declared his willing
ness to Senators Warren and Clark and
Representative Mondell, the members of
the Wyoming delegation in Congress. all
interested in advocating the test.
1t has been represented to the Secre-
tary that the wells which now yield the
municipal supplies for these communities
have diminished in their production to a
point where the cities are threatened with
a fuel famine: that the companies which
supply these cities with gas are able and
willing to make further tests on public
lands within the tributary gas fields, but
are prevented from SO doing by the fact
that all lands in this locality prospectively
valuable for oil and gas are embraced In
petroleum reserves created by executive
order under the provisions of the with
drawal act.
The situation disclosed by petitions re-
ceived from the citizens of these localities
is unique in that these communities being
now fully equipped for natural gas would
suffer an actual loss III the local supply
should fail and utilization of the gas at
some future time would be impossible.

TARIFF THEORIES AT
VARIANCE WITH FACTS
Constituents Bombarding Con-
gressmen With Pertinent
Queries About Prices.

Plain citizens who are unfamiliar with
tariff policies. but are we'll acquainted
with market-basket facts are asking their
congressman about some discrepancies
between theories and actual prices
Sugar was advanced Is cents a hundred
pounds, wholesale. by the eastern refin-
ers last week. Three weeks ago sugar
was quoted Az cents retail in this town.

All this in defiance of the claim that
free sugar legislation, now pending, is
supposed to be in the interest of the con-
| sumner, to give immediate relief from high
prices.
President Wilson explained to the news
papermen the other day that the reason
he is so insistent upon the sugar re-
duction is that sugar is one item in the
tariff bill which will at once respond to
tariff lowering
Sugar Keeps Going Up.
But sugar keeps on going up, the
householders are complaining to the con-
gressmen, in spite of prospective decrease
in tariff.
Lemons are selling for 80 and 40 cents a
dozen. Oranges, 10 cents and dollar a
dozen. The new tariff promises a big
cut in lemons and oranges.
Tailors around town say that they are
advised by their jobbers that the lower
ing of the tariff on wooden cloth will
not make clothes any cheaper. but will

sugar, they say that the immense pro-
duction. in which the United States par

resulted in abnormally low prices some
time back, and sugar is bound to go
up as production decreases.
The domestic sugar lobbyists" as it
is the fashion to term the beet and cane

TO investigate everything connected with

following desperate attempt by Repre-

point of no quorum. Representative Levy

through an amendment to the resolution
taking from the committee the power to
employ counsel. Representative Mann of
Illinois yesterday succeeded in bringing
the Levy amendment before the House
again, and after a series of votes the
House rejected the Levy amendment by
104 to 1O3 By this narrow margin the
committee will have power to employ
counsel.
Speaker Clark then appointed the in

Representative Cline, Representative Rus

members were not in town yesterday but
