depth of the well is about Tut) feet and
from all appearances experts say the
pressure is -between o.'.O and 4'
pounds to the square inch. However
there can be nothing like an accurate
measurement for It is impossible to
get within 100 yards of the derrick.
The new well is No. 11 of the Mexia
Oil and Gas company hacked by local
capital. It was the last of a series for
which contracts hud beu let Fred
Allison had charge of the drilling.
The Mexia company and its work-
men are facing a serious problem. AH
experts have been pitting their wits
to conceive a way to cap the '.villi well.
Owing to the fact that human hands
can not get close to the opening there
is much speculation as to what method
can be used. lOvery effort is being
made to keep the fire from the der-
rick to prevent a situation that exist-
ed near Oil City La. in the Vivian
field five years ago. when the "Little
Anuiiian" ran wild for many weeks eh-
yoml reach of human devices.

Oklahoma City April 17.
o'clock this afternoon tin. house is in
the midst of a hot fight on the Wood-
ward resolution which proposes a ref-
erendum on abolishing a largo mini-
Iber of state schools including the col
lege at Chickasha. Advocates of tins
resolution gained a point yesterday
when they had it set down on the cal-
endar for consideration at 2 o'clock
this afternoon. At this hour it is im-
possible to forecast the result of the
fight.
Representative Raddle of Grady
county moved to amend tha resolution
by striking out tlie Women's College
and 'his' motion met opposition from
some 01 the school supporters. Appar
ently the school supporters are deter-
mined that all of the state institutions
shall be included in tbo resolution If
it is passed hoping that thereby tho
defeat of the measure before the peo-
ple will be .made easier.
That the state reformatory at Gran-
ite Okla.j is a "black 'hole of Calcutta
as compared to an ordinary reforma-
tory or penitentiary" Is the opinion of
the Investigating committee embodied
in its report upon the reformatory sub
mitted to the house of representatives
Wednesday.
The report recommends the sum-
mary dismissal of Clyde Reed 'war-
den and John Jerry Ilackett assist-
ant warden of the reformatory. The
report finds that the most depraved
practices are permitted la the reform-
atory which the warden and his as-
sistants have done but little to sup-
press. The report charges that the
two officials are fully aware of the
condition that exists in the prison and
charges that although the prison la
primarily for the correction of young
men between tlie ages of 16 and 2.i
years hardened criminals are confined
in the reformatory and are made bunk
mates with immature boys.
The report charges that the deputy
warden is absolutely devoid of refine-
ment or culture and "openly admits
that he is a man without a coiisi i.-uce
and denies that there are any honest
men.'' It is also charged that he uses
profane language and has no regard
for religion.
Gov. Cruce Attorney General Charles
West and G. T. Bryan president of
the state board of agriculture consti-
tuting the board of prison control and
Kate Barnard commissioner of chari
ties are severely arraigned by the re-
port on the Granite reformatory. The
report charges that every member of
the board of contra1 has partial knowl-
edge of the terrible conditions exist-
ing In the reformatory which U de-
clared to bo the result of ioeomne-
tencv. needeot dutv mid yinoer..t.
aide indifference on the part of the
board. The report also declares that
Kate Barnard commissioner of char!
tics has failed to call attention 0
the board to the condition existing at
Granite demonstrating in the opinion
of the committee the nselossness of
the department of charities and correc-
tions. Following the submission of the re-
port Representative John H. Wright
moved that the portions of the report
referring to Gov. Cruce Attorney Gen-
eral Charles West Charles T. Bryan
and Kate Barnard be referred to the
