acts for it to have an arrangement for
a continuous transportation or ship
ment with the preceding carrier. The
courts had always held that such had
been necessary to bring a carrier with
in the interstate commerce act of 1887.
The United States district court for
northern Alabama went even a step
further. 1t held that the United States
was entitled to penalty from the
Southern Railway company for an al.
legged violation of the safety appliance
law in a case where a shipment orig.
mating and ending within the state OF
Alabama, was carried in a car not
properly equipped. The court held that
this was violation of the law because
the car was used sometimes for inter.
state commerce, and therefore was an
instrumentality of interstate com
merce.

From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
Starting with all the calm tranquil
ity that proyerbially proceeds the tor
nado, the regular meeting of the city
council last night after three appoint
ments of the mayor had been refused
confirmation, came to a somewhat
squally end.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Starr and all aldermen with
the exception of F. NJ. Lewis were
present. After the transaction of the
usual routine business, the council
proceeded to pass some exceedingly
stringent anti-gambling and anti booze
ordinances. The ordinances absolute
ly prohibit the sale, bartering or
giving away of intoxicating liquors in
the city of Vinita Other ordinances
prohibit gaming or maintaining a
place where gambling is permitted,
prohibits the operation of all gambling
devices and fixes the penalty at from
$50 to 500 fine and Imprisonment not
to exceed ninety days, or both such
fine and Imprisonment These ordin-
ances were passed unanimously. IN
ordinance submitted by the officials OF
+ the Katy railway, accepting portion
of Vann street. provided the city will
pave that thoroughfare. This ordin
ance was tabled Another ordinance
raising the salary of the stenographef
for the city clerk was referred to the
j ordinance committee. for further con
sideration.
Then the storm broke. Mayor Starr
announced his intention to appoint q
city engineer. Alderman Mars asked
to introduce an ordinance to fix the
salary of the superintendent of water
works and city engineer, and without
being permitted to read the title was
ruled out of order by Mayor Starr. The
mayor then appointed J. p Gooch, city
engineer, and on roll call the counci
unanimously voted against conhrma
ton. Councilman Martin not voting
and Councilman Lewis being absent.
i Following this the mayor appointed
Levi Jones, night policeman, and by {
vote of four to three the council agail
refused to confirm the mayors appoint
ment. Then the name of Jacob Smitl
was submitted and voted down. Where
pom Mayor Starr announced that h,
would make no further appointment
and ordered the two special police
men, now serving, dismissed. A me
tion to adjourn prevailed.

Oklahoma City, May 1.-THE state
board of equalization has completed
the assessment of public service cor
poration property in Oklahoma after
raising the valuations from 10 per cent
to 1000 per cent over the valuations
as returned to the board. State Audi
tor Leo Meyer, at the conclusion of the
meeting, expressed the opinion that
the total taxable valuation of public
service corporation property has been
raised S100,0O0,0O0 over last year.
Most of this raise is upon public serv-
i've corporation property other than
railroads, which were left in most in
stances at practically the assessments
of last year.
Working on the theory that the pipe
line properties which carry gas out of
Oklahoma to points in Kansas are
worth considerably more by reason of
the decision of the supreme court of
the United States which held that they
could pipe gas out of Oklahoma, big
raises were made all along the line
on such companies over the returns.
Some gas pipe line companies which
have refused to make returns to the
board were raised arbitrarily as the
board has no information upon which
to base the assessment.
The express companies operating in
Oklahoma, the Wells-Fargo, United
States, American and Pacific, were as
sessed in lump sum of $3,0O0,000, an
increase of about 1000 per cent over
the returns, the assessed value to be
distributed among the companies or
"a mileage basis. The biggest raise
was made in the case of the Indian
Territory Illuminating & Oil Co., which
was assessed at $1.07l. 900, or raise
of 1000 per cent over the returns. The
properties of the Prairie Oil & Gas
company. Gulf, Texas, Oklahoma and
Gulf of Oklahoma pipe line companies
were raised 800 per cent over the re

RAILROADS MUST
PROVIDE SAFETY
Supreme Court Rules That Roads Must
Repair Automatic coupIers And
other Appliances.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., May 16-Rail-
roads coming within the terms of the
safety appliance acts of congress in
1893 and 1903 are under absolute duty
to keep in repair the automatic coup
lers and other appliances, prescribed
/ by law according to a decision of the
supreme court yesterday.
By an odd coincidence, number of
vital questions concerning the scope
of the safety appliance acts of con
gress came before the supreme court
of the United States about the same
time and were heard together.
One of these arose in the suit of
| F. NJ Delk, a brakeman on the st.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad COM
pany, for injuries suffered while at
| tempting to manipulate a defective
coupler of a car on a switch in Mem
lphis, Tenn The United States cir
cult court of appeals for the sixth cir
cult finally decided against Delk on
the ground that while the railroad
was under an absolute duty to equip
cars with automatic couplers and other
appliances required by the safety ap-
lpliance acts, yet it was only under the
common law duty to exercise reason
liable diligence when it came to repair
ing the APPLIANCES. Delk had contend
ed that the acts changed the common
Ilaw duty so as to make the railroads
absolutely liable for not repairing ap-
Ipliances required by the statutes as
we'll as for not equipping cars with the
appliances.
The direct reverse of this holding
was announced by the United States
circuit court of appeals for the eighth
circuit, when the United States sought
Ito recover from the Chicago Burling
ton & Quincy Railway company $10C
for each of four alleged violations OF
the acts. There it was held that the
railway company was under an abso
lutte obligation TO keep the safety ap
pliances with which their cars mus
be equipped in repair. The railroad
claimed that the court held them liable
notwithstanding the company did no
know its cars We're out of repair ant
had no intention to violate the law
