natural gas well that has been known
to exist for forty odd years. Many

gas well. From an airplane it is al
most in sight of BAsTRoP, the great
est gas field in the world. Tests of tn
gas coming from this well show CON
clusively that it is mineral gas be-
cause of the carbon it contains.
Swamp gas contains no carbon. Then

ing only occasional indications of
public interest. These came mainly
rom southern and western centers

themselves be fooled into believing
they were as, good after long layoffs
as when they won the titles? -
This was the main topic of discus
sion as thousands of fight fans from
all over the country gathered here
for the IL round titular contest at
Dunn Field this afternoon. The opin-
ion was divided. Many sportsmen
fear Kilbane's hands will go back on
him and much doubt was expressed
concerning his wind. 1t will be Kill
bane's first championship bout in five
years.
Frush was within the 126 pounds he
agreed to make for the fight. Although
Kilbane is to-come in at catch weights,
he is expected to weigh about 127
pounds. The betting ranged some 10
to in favor of Kilbane, to even

COMMITTEE TO
CONSIDER PLAN
FOR SALES TAX
Senator Smoot Pressing
His Favorite Scheme
for Raising Revenues
His Plan Likely To Be
Rejected, Is Belief At
the Capital-Beer Pro-
posal Draws Dry Fire

Washington, Sept. 17.-Having
practically completed revision of the
house bill, the senate finance com
mittee was ready today to receive
Senator Smoot's proposal for man
ufacturer's sale tax and Senator Cal
der's plan to tax 275 per cent beer
at the rate of $5 a barrel
The sales tax is embodied in a bill
which Senator Smoot had given notice
he would offer to the committee to-
day as a substitute for the revised
house measure. Under the Utah SEN
ator's plan, all internal revenue would
be obtained from five sources-in-
comes of individuals and corporations
and estate taxes; tobacco taxes and
a three per cent levy on manufac-
turers' sales.
Senator Smoot estimates that these
taxes would yield $2,SS0,0O0,0O0 an
nually and that this sum, with the
amounts received from the tariff
through collection of back taxes and
from salvage and miscellaneous
sources would be sufficient to meet
the governments revenue needs for
this and succeeding needs.
Inc general oplnlon at the capitol
seemed to be that the committee
would reject Mr.. Smoots bill. In that
event the senator expected to bring
it forth in the senate as a substitute
when the house bill is under consid.
GRAFTON. His proposal has been en-
dorsed by number of manufactur~
ers' associations and is looked upon
with favor by some Republican lead
ers who, however, have indicated that
they did not deem this the proper time
to consider it,
Senator Calder's beer proposal has
drawn fire from the anti-saloon league
which has announced through its gen
eral counsel, Wayne B. Wheeler, that
it would be strongly opposed by the
prohibition forces.
