advocate OF things dctested by decent

The accident occurred just before
noon Sunday.
Frank S. Woodward of Muskogee,
the fireman Of the locomotive, was the
man most severely hurt. He was
thrown from the cab of the engine
with violent force, falling on the ten
der as it was twisted off the track.
His injuries are mostly internal. He
has been taken to a hospital here. The
engineer, +. c. Lynn, sustained no
serious injuries, but was badly bruised
and was shaken considerably when
the engine jumped from the rails
and plowed into the earth
The train was just slowing down
preceding the stop at Drumright, and
was making about fifteen miles an
hour when the mishap came. The en-
gine was damaged extensively and
piled up in such condition by the
track, that it will not be possible to
remove the wreckage before Monday.
None of the passenger coaches left the

GASOLINE EXPERT OF DALLAS
TALKS ON GAS EXPLOSIVES

Dallas News Of Sunday contained
the following interesting matter aris-
ing from the recent explosion in Ard
more.
Governing bodies of cities and
towns should not act too hastily upon
the supposed lessons of the Ardmore
gasoline explosion last week, in the
opinion of T. T.. Angus of Dallas, who
has been in the oil and gasoline bust
ness for more than twenty years.
Mr. Angus said yesterday that his
company is in receipt of special inior-
nation confirming press reports that
the gasoline that exploded at Ard
more was not the ordinary commercial
gasoline, but what is known as Gas
ing head" gasoline. This, he said,
is made by subjecting casing head
gas from oil wells to high pressure to
liquify it and then mixing that liquid
with ordinary gasoline to secure the
gravity desired. ms SasOllhe, he Sdlu
Is far more volatile than the ordinary
gasoline and therefore is much more
dangerous, because the gas hangs near
the ground and will explode If there
is any flash or fire near it. Veteran oil
men agree. he declared, that the gas
from ordinary gasoline never eXplodes
in the same manner, but burns instead.
He said
"There is much agitation now
that Is calculated to result in unjust
regulations, due to misinformation
about the cause OF the recent disas-
trous explosion at Ardmore, and sim
liar explosions.

automobiles and appearing in tanks
within the city limits but from hand
ling casing head gasoline maze by
liquifying gas Issuing from oil wells.
Casing head gasoline is usually OF the
gravity Of so Beaume, or lighter
whereas ordinary gasoline ranges from
G2 to ga gravity and is by no means
so explosive and dangerous. Casing
head gasoline is dangerous, ordinary
gasoline. handled in the usual tanks
and with ordinary precautions is not
at all so.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion recognizes this difference in pre-
scribing certain safety provisions ap-
plying to casing head gas, and not ap-
plying to ordinary gasoline. II would
be totally unnecessary and very
heavy hardship to impose by ordi-
nanCeS or otherwise on OIL companies
the necessity of removing their or
dinary gasoline tanks from the city
limits or burying them because Of
these explosions resulting from the
use of an entirely different article.
Whatever restrictions are made on the
subject should apply alone to the ar
ticle giving the trouble. This intelli-
gent way of handling the subject has
been pursued by the interstate com
merce commission and should be fol-
lowed by the interested cities; other
wise heavy, unnecessary expense and
burdens will be imposed.
