from an off Ger. Bonds of $500 were
marked up against the two latter men.

cerned in the taking of John Lose-
mans automobile on the night of Aug.

party and the Olson boys would not

apparently failed or refused to give UP
certain evidence to county officials.
| Judge Clark late yesterday after
noon gave Hensell an indeterminate
sentence to the reformatory at Ana
mosa. The limit for this crime is ten
years but this may be lessened by the
board of parole. The Olson boys were

DISASTER LEADS TO INQUIRY.
Of Methods Employed in
Shjppina hiuh Proof Gasolene Begun.

Shipping High Proof Gasoline Begun.
Oklahoma City, Oct. [21.-1nvestiga-
ton of methods employed in the hand
ling in transit of high proof Sasolene
was begun here today by the Oklahoma
corporation commission. as result OF
the recent disastrous explosion at Ard
more.
With the vast increase of the manu-
facture in this state Of casing head
gasolene, which is liquefied gas, much
interest is being manifested In the
hearing, number of the leading retin-
ers of the section being represented.
Experts. including those of the United
States government. have been called
from several sections of the country to
testify. BY means Of the investigation
the commission hopes to formulate reg
ulations for the safe handling of such
materials.
Commissioner George Henshaw said
today that large shipments of ex-
plosive gasolene are being made from
the Gushing field, where it is manu-
featured, the residue left in the old
wells always being used to make cas-
ing head gasolene. 1t is his belief
that under present conditions such
gasolene is source of danger wher-
ever it goes He asserted further that
he believes that common tank cars
used by the railroads for the trans
portation of ordinary sasolene and
coal oil are unsafe when filled with
this product.
The cause of the Ardmore explo-
sion has not been determined. 1t has
been established that the tank on the
Santa Fe car did not burst. the ex-
plosion merely sweeping around it and
it failed even to throw the car from
the track. 1t has been said that the
gas leaked from the tank and exploded
after standing in the warm sun for
short time.
Commissioner Henshaw believes gas
first filled the lower part Of the city,
being carried by slow moving air cur
rents some distance from the car itself
and then was exploded by lighted
match or spark.
