More Gas Is Uncorked In
Baxter Basin Field Well

ROCK SPRINGS. wyo.. June 90
The latest gas ind In the Baxter
Basin oil neld. which occurred this
week. proves a a structure larger
in area thai most biologists gave 1t
credit for a year ago. Through
actual tests the structure measures
10 miles in length and more than
three miles in width. being the larg-
est area in the west.
The Observation-Disclosures No. 1 In
section 23-17.104 found 1000. 900 cubic
feet of gas in a black shaie at BIAS
feet last week. They are about rs
feet above the regular gas a found
by the Midwest and Ohio companies.
They arc mudding or the gas and

New Well In Hamilton

THERMOPOLIS Wyo., June 20
The Phebus OIL company completed
Its test well into the Embar sand at
Hamilton Dome. bringing III back
oil production Of $50 barrels or a
little better at a depth Of 1900 feet.
This oil is the same as that in two
other shallower wells In tho Embar
sand at higher locations on the struc-
ture in that field, but the production
is greater in this well than in the
others.
We understand that II is the In
tention of the company to plug this
well and to do no more drilling on its
ground there at present. The mar
ket price today for that grade OF oil
IS not good and matters will be al
lowed to rest until black oil prices
come up.
The upper sands at Hamilton Dome
are good producers OF a fine oil and
the wells in these sands will con
tinue to be kept going up to the con
tract capacity. Drilling into the
deeper sands will probably be allowed
10 rest where 1t is until demand for
the heavier oil becomes more active.

CHICAGO. June 2o-with improved

DE and eighteen and one-half cents
or the large size.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Commissioner Lewis of the
Department of Institutions and Agen-
;ies. Mir. Lewis stated that the con
.ract was obtained as the result of ne
yotiations between the purchasing de-
partment, officials Of Virginia and the
Department of Institutions. 1t was
learned from the purchasing depart
nent that those in charge Of the indus
tries at the prison will increase the
force and also increase the working
hours from an e%ight-hour shift to two
shifts Of eight hours each, and in this
way hasten the production Of the
plates.
Mr.. Lewis stated that the Virginia
plates are about half the weight Of
those produced for New Jersey and
also that not as many coats of enamel
would be required for the Southern
plates.
"At the time the automobile license
tag plant was installed in the prison."
Mr.. Lewis stated, "it was understood
that eventually the state would under
take to manufacture tags for other
states. 1t is agreed generally that the
tags manufactured in New Jersey
State prison are the best on the mar
ket. No pair of them has ever been
returned to be re-enameled.
THE work will furnish full time for
from forty to sixty additional prison
ers continuously and will allow US to
pay wages to an additional number Of
prisoners, which can be used for the
benefit of themselves and their de-
pendents while they are serving their
terms.
Dirt is flying on the Bordentown-
Crosswicks Creek cutoff and every
one is highly pleased with the way
the thirty-seven prisoners are work
ing and with the cooperation we are
getting from the principal keeper of
the prison." Mr.. Lewis's statement
adds.

Mathis Bill Inquiry

Testimony of sever members of the
Assembly taken before Supreme Court
Commissioner Theodore Backes rela-
tive to their recorded affirmative votes
for the Mathis bill adding a state high
way route from Camden to Toms Riv-
er, resulted in positive assertions by
four members that they had voted for
the bill as recorded. One member said
that he had not voted for it, one that
he had no reason to question the rec
ord and another that he was not GER
tain whether he had voted or not.
The four members testifying n
equivocally that they had voted for
the bill were Adams of Essex, Gibbs
Of Camden, Campbell of Monmouth,
and Mccullough of Somerset. The
one who stated with equal certainty
that he had not voted for the bill was
Mr.. Compton of Union. Mr.. Dater OF
Bergen said he had no reason to ques-
ton the record of his vote for the bill
and Mr.. DeLOrenzo, also of Bergen.
could not recollect whether or not he
was actually in the chamber when the
vote was taken.
Mr.. Compton, the first witness Y
amined at the inquiry, testified he had
left the state house in time to catch
the 8.46 train. He was positive the
vote on the Mathis bill had not been
taken before he left and that he was
incorrectly recorded as having voted
for it.
The Penn's Grove record., 1923-06-22
Positive He Did Not Vote

Are you sure?" Mr.. Compton was
asked with respect to his statement
that he left before the vote was taken.
Absolutely" was the reply.
Mr.. Compton also said he had made
a record of Republican caucus meas
ures and the Mathis bill, Senate 1875,
did not appear on his list as one of
them.
Mr.. Campbell stated categorically he
had voted for the bill. Mr.. Dater ad-
mitted he had no recollection of the
Mathis bill coming up while he was in
the Assembly chamber. He said he
had been excused about 8 o'clock in
the evening, the House being then un-
der call, but had not left the chamber
until some time later. He could not
say definitely when he did leave, but
was certain he had taken the same
train as Assemblymen Cliff and Pas
coe, both of Union, neither of whom
was recorded as voting on the Mathis
measure. Mr.. Dater said he had voted
for the Mathis bill when it first passed
and had no asO to question the rec
ord, indicating he had again supported
it when it came up over the Cover
nor's veto. He said it was the inten-
ton of Bergen county to support all
road bills, as the county had its own
measures in which it was interested.
"a case of you scratch my back and
I'll scratch yours" suggested Assist
ant Attorney General William New
corn, who was conducting the exami-
nation of witnesses.
81 wouldn't say that" replied Mr..
Dater. we got ours and we're keep
ing faith"
De Lorenzo Sheds No Light
Mr.. De Lorenzo could shed no light
upon the accuracy of the record list
ing him afiirmatively. He did not re-
call the bill being brought up while
he was in the assembly chamber and
said he might have been present at
the time or not. He did not recall re-
naming at the State House until final
adjournment that night and denied
having been on the same train with
Mr.. Dater. Neither had he any recol-
lection of having been asked by a
News representative as to the train
he had taken.
Mr.. Mccullough said he had con-
fused the Mathis bill with a Burling-
ton county measure when previously
questioned as to his vote. He testified
he was in the clerks Office at the
time when the late Captain James
Parker, the assistant clerk. came into
the office and asked Upton S. Jeffreys,
the clerk, for a bill which he received
and took to the speakers desk. With
out knowing definitely what this bill
was Mr.. McCullough said he assumed
it was the Mathis measure which was
taken up shortly afterwards and
voted upOn.

Plans Of
The Railroads
For Greater
Public Service
THE HALL MARK

anticipating the greatest volume Of freight
traffic in their history this year, the railroads have
-a9pted a concerted policy and incentive working pro
GRAM to enable them to meet the growing transporta-
.ioa needs Of the country.
In full realization of necessity for the greatest
improvement and expansion possible Of the c~0untry's
transportation facilities to meet the growing demands
Of commerce, the railroads have authorized, since
January 1, 1922, for cars locomotives, trackage and
other facilities, the expenditure Of 81, 100000 000, Of
which Si4O,O00,00 actually was expended during 1922.
The railroads are raising this enormous amount
Of additional capital largely through borrowed money
on the abiding faith in the fairness of the American
people, and reliance on continuance Of the policy an
rcunced in the Transportation Act of 1920, as a
measure Of reasonable protection to investment in
railroad property.
From January l, 1922, to March Is, 1923, the
railroads purchased 223,616 new freight cars. Of
these, 1920 have been delivered and put in service.
The railroads during that time also purchased 4.219
rev locomotives. Of that number 2,106 have already
been placed in service.
The railroads confidently look forward to the
successful movement of the largest volume of traffic
in the history of the country and pledge their best
efforts to that end"
