FIRE Loss IS
DECREASED
PREVENTION CAMPAIGN IN STATE
SHOWS RESULTS IN MAY
FIGURES.
TOTAL LOSS IN MAY sl35,354. 10
Safe and Sane Celebration of July 4
Urged by Marshall Hammond
Other News Of the
Capital.

A material reduction of the fire loss
OF Oklahoma for the month Of May as
compared with the same month in
1912, is shown by the monthly report
OF the state fire marshal, which has
Just been submitted to State Insur-
ance Commissioner WEIGH.
According to the report the fire
loss from carelessness has been re-
duced from $3.50 during the month of
May, 1912, to 1886 for the same month
of the present year, and the loss re-
sulting from careless use Of matches
by children has been reduced from
1926 to $40 during the same period.
The loss from oil and gasoline explo-
sions has ben reduced $1,773, as COM
pared with May a year ago.
Out Of total of ninety fires report
ed to the department, the entire loss
have been $135,364.10, of which $64,-
180.60 was lost on contents and ST.
1880 on buildings.
The report calls special attention
to the fact that most people are slow
in needing the repeated warnings sent
out by the department against the
careless use OF gasoline and other
high explosives and points to the re-
cent explosion at Kiefer, where four
persons lost their lives, as evidence
Of this fact. Gasoline, according to
Fire Marshal Hammond, has an ex-
plosive force five times greater than
gun powder and is easier to ignite
than dynamite or nitroglycerin. This
is pointed out to show why great pre-
caution should be taken in the hand
ling of gasoline.
Prevention Campaign.
For some time past the department
with the assistance Of the chiefs of
the different fire departments of the
state, has been conducting an educa-
tional campaign on how to prevent
fire loss and possible loss of life,
and already good results have been
obtained.
According to the records of the de-
partment, six persons have met death
during the past month as result of
gasoline explosions.
The report also urges a sane cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, and,
where fireworks are displayed, it is
urged that great precaution be taken
against fire loss.

He held that by the common law,

owner upon navigable stream &C.
quires no title in the bed of stream

serving to itself the entire title sub

pose Of beds Of navigable streams to
private parties for any purposes which
do not conflict with the public navi

This is construed to mean the state
has the right to lease the bed of a
stream for oil and gas and also to
charge royalty for sand and gravel
taken from the bed of the stream.
The decision holds that the title to
the beds of the Arkansas rived passed
from the federal government to the

Farmer or cropper

Are you a farmer or a cropper? A
farmer makes sure feed crops, and
good live stock to consume them, the
principal part of his business. Incl.
dentally, he may grow some wheat, or
cotton or broomcorn to sell. A crop
per keeps no livestock except work
animals. Each year, he takes shot
at big acreage of some crop which
was high in price the year before.
He may be cotton grower, a wheat
grower, corn grower, or a broomcorn
grower, but he hasn't much use for
kafir, milo, alfalfa, cowpeas, peanuts,
or similar crops.

MORGAN CONFESSION OF
FAITH PASTORS TEXT

NEW YORK, April 21.-The con-
fession of faith contained in the
opening clause of the will left by ]. P.
Morgan, the financier, was the sub
jects of sermons by the pastors of
several New York churches last
night and furnished the preface for
extended remarks by many others.
BY the Rev Dr. Harry p. Nichols Of
the Holy Trinity Club. Mr.. Morgan's
confession of faith in Christ was re-
ferred to as the old-fashioned way to
begin will and DR.. Nichols con-
tinued:
II would the way became new
fashioned again. And Mr.. Morgan
went farther than the old-fashioned
way--he commended his faith to the
support and defense of his children
and posterity,"
The 100000 left by Mr.. Morgan for
Episcopal church extension in the
diocese of New York was explained
yesterday by the fact that within the
last year Mr. Morgan had helped
Bishop Greer to remake the canons
on this subject of church extension
and to put the matter on business
basis.
