SIBILITY FOR DEATHS AND
OTHER LOSSES

( Ardmore Okla, Oct 5.-Claims in
cases of death, poison, injury and
property loss resulting from the gaso-
line explosion and resulting disaster
here last week will be assumed by the
Santa Fe q Railway company adjust
ments to be made by cash as soon as
the merits of the individual cases can
be determined. This announcement
was made today by Mayor Mullen fol-
lowing the receipt of a telegram from
e. P. Ripley. president of the Santa
Fe company
The kilograms says That the com
pany is not inclined to wait for the
Judgment Of the courts in fixing the
liabilities for the explosion, which took
! life toll Of forty. seven persons and
damaged property to an estimated ex-
tent of a half.million dollars.
Following out a suggestion in the
telegram, the mayor has appointed a
committee of six business and pro-
fessional men to act as compromise
committee" This committee is to re-
lort all cases of death, injury mad
property loss to the railroad officials.
George lIenshaw, member of the
state corporation commission, stated
Monday that the Santa Fe company's
offer to settle out of court all just
claims will not cause the corporation
commission to abandon its plan to in
gestigate the explosion
THE purpose of the investigation
so far as the commission is concerned
will be to determine whether regula-
tions for the handling of gasoline will
be necessary to safeguard the public
against a repetition Of the disaster"
said Mr.. Henshaw.
City officials today expressed
themselves as pleased with the action
of the Santa Fe and believe that in
most cases compromise settlement
will be agreed to.
