Washington, June 6.-IndicationS that
the bill to repeal the law authorizing
federal control of telegraph telephone
and cable companies would be pressed
despite Postmaster General Burleson'S
order restoring to private operation of
the wires We're given today by the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee,
which reopened hearings on the repeal
measures.
Action last night of Postmaster Gen
eral Bureson in ordering the immediate
return to private operation of the tele-
graph and telephone lines with the gov
ernment retaining financial control to
an extent, has resulted in a puZzling
situation arising in congress where
plans already were under way for hav-
ing the properties returned to their
former owners. Senator Kellogg of
Minnesota, author of a bill for return of
the wire lines with existing rates eff
fective for 60 days, declared he could
not express an opinion as TO whether re-
peal legislation would not be necessary
until he had studied the matter care
fully. Chairman CumminS of the sen
ate interstate commerce committee call
ed a meeting of his committees for to-
day TO consider the question.

one mile north of Hewitt IS flowing

erected at the well a force Of men

and half southeast OF the well. y
laid from the well 10 the tank farm
and pumping will begin Just as soon
as installation of the pumps can be
completed.
According TO q report made by an
official of the Texas company, the
we'll yesterday afternoon got beyond
control and threw oil over the derrick.
1t was brougt under control but again
broke loose last night and gushed more
oil than ever. After strenuous work
It was again controlled and has since
been flowing steadily into the tanks
at the well.
The we'll has not yet been tubed An
accurate guage of the daily flow has
not been made. or at least has not been
made public, but it is the universal
opinion of oil men of the longest ex-
perience in this district that it is the
best well ever drilled in Carter county.
Gravity 30
The oil is reported to test thirty.five
and half gravity and to contain
twenty three percent gasoline. This
grade OF oil should bring around two
dollars and twenty-five cents a barrel.
These test figures, taken in connec-
ton with the great flow of the well,
seem to justify the claim that no well
in Carter county has ever eXcelled it
in value.
Leases Active
Local men are hurrylng to get leases
in the new field. Probably every acre
for miles in every direction has been
leased bat these are very largely be
ing bought for speculation and the
actual oil prospector will find plenty
of promising territory available at
reasonable figures.
Business has already begun to feel
the impetus Of the discovery of a new
field. Business men of the city are
preparing to realize in a large way on
the opportunity, not only as it may
affect their individual business but with
due regard to civic development along
all lines.
Oil men from Texas and northern
Oklahoma are showing keen interest
and are beginning to send in their rep
resentatves to Spy out the land

In the meantime, as the drill goes
deeper into the sand of the new Texas
company well. all oil men everywhere
are ION their tip-toes" with expectancy.
