TAX COMMISSION IN SESSION
Meets to FIX on Plan for Creation
of Similar Body.
SUGGESTION OF BOARD MADE
Way Lies Open by Naming Execu-
tive Officers as Heads and Re-
posing Duties in Number
of Secretaries.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. @.-(Special -
Members of the state Tax commission
held a session with the attorney general
today to consider providing ways and
means for the creation of a tax commits
sion under the present restrictive laws.
The special commission says IL does not
want to perpetuate itself in office as all
of the members are engaged in work
which they will not give up. but they
are anxious to see a commission created
which will administer state revenue laws
from a more centralized point than is
now possible.
The way apparently lies open, they con-
cluded after their visit to the attorney
general. through reposing the duties in
some of the executive officers as named
by the constitution and then through the
creation of an under board of secre-
taries
1t would make for efficiency, the COM
mission says, to have members of this
board chosen in a nonpartisan way and
to have one of the three members APP
pointed every two years, to hold six-year
terms Were that plan followed the first
appointment of three members would be
for two, four and six years, respectively,
Twelve Vacant Chairs.
Twelve chairs remain unsolicited In the
house and six in the senate. The late
corners will have a chance either to sit
on the front row or roost out on the end
seats, for nothing else is left
Less Work on BrOOms.
The work of making the complete
brooms at the state penitentiary will not
be continued any more. The Lee COM
pany. which has had the broom con-
tract for several years, will only use the
oonvicts for making certain parts Of the
broom, the finished product being COM
pleted at their Lincoln factory. Only
about fifty men can be used from now
on. What prisoners are used will be in
the chair factory and in the necessary
work outside and inside the prison. The
work of pulling down the old building
will be begun as soon as the broom ma
chinery is out, and the other building
used as a broom factory will be rcmod-
eled,
Rate Case Put over.
The hearing in the oil cases. which were
to have come up before the railway COM
mission tomorrow, has been postponed
until January s. The complaint was
made by the National Petroleum associa-
ton against the Santa Fe Railway COM
pany and involved changes in rates.

 BIDS REJECTED
Manager Parish Finds Bids Submitted for Extension of Fire Alarm System Do Not Conform to the Specl- ficatiOnS

When Manager w. A. Parish adver- tises fors competitive bids for fire equipment, fire alarm system extension or other municipal improvements, those bids must be competitive and they must conform to specifications or they will be rejected. That the manager means business in this respect was demonstrated yesterday when he de- clined to approve either of the two bids submitted for tine installation of twenty-five additionalfire alarm boxes, because one of the bids did not con- form to specifications thereby leaving the other concern really the only bidder in the field. one bidder has no com petitor therefore such bid is not com- petitive.
 Upon just what poists the bid of one of the fire alarm concerns failed to come up to the specifications is not material. One of the bids amounted to approximately S3,200 and the other to about S3,000 It made no difference whether the bid in conformity to the specifications was the higher or the lower.
 That's why elsewhere in The Repub- lican this morning appears a notice calling for bids for fire alarm eXten sion. such bids to he in conformity to specifications on file in the office of the city clerk. They are to be opened on June 4. That is next Thusrday. Representative of two concerns man ufacturing fire alarm boxes are now on the ground and it is altogether likely that by Thursday new bids will have been sumbitted by these represesta- tives. Manager Parish does not wish to delay the installation of the new fire alarm boxes but he wants them to be installed in accordance with the orig inal specifications.

No Great Battle Yet.

London, Aug. 1l.-No great battle
has yet been fought on land or sea in
the war of seven nations, unless the
| German assaults upon the fortresses
Of Liege eventually assume the pro.
portions of battle in history Both
combatants claim victory there, WITH
the Belgians still holding the forts and
the Germans occupying the city
The situation is unique one. There
Is no confirmation of the Daily Nails
report that the French have engaged
the Germans and cut off their retreat,
infIicting loss of 5000 men. The
Belgians assert that they have taken
5000 prisoners on Belgian soil, but mil
itary men regard all the estimates OF
the billigerents as exaggerations.
Apart from Liege the fighting of the
first week, when resolved to the per-
spective eventually, doubtless will be
considered insignificant.
One of the most important develop
ments in the eyes of experts is the
general testimony that the German in
fantry formation Is obsolete and in
effective against the weapons of to-
today and means an enormous slaugh-
ter If retained.
France and Austria finally are Of
ficially at war, the ambassadors hav-
ing left the respective capitals. The
French government broke off diplo-
matte relations with Austria on the
ground that Austrian troops were re-
inforcing the Germans.
Austria appears to have Abandoned
the advance on Servia for a time and
apparently is cooperating with Ger
many in the supposed strategy of at
tempting to crush France before Rus
sia can mobilize.
Financial conditions in England are
returning to normal Although there
is a great dislocation in many trades.
the prices of foodstuffs have risen
only slightly.

Football Fans Getting
Into the Game Early

Football, for the Chickasha high
school for the season 1914 was given
a big boost yesterday afternoon when
a meeting of business and professional
men was held in the First National
Bank building for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means to help the
local team through the season. The
enthusiasm and determination of those
present to do something, puts the
proposition of a winning or losing
team squarely up to the boys them
selves, for it is cinch that they will
have all the backing necessary to
carry them through.
b. B. Barefoot, as chairman of the
meeting, explained to Supt Ramey and
certain members of the board of edu-
cation who we're present, that what
ever was done by the outside support
ers of the team, would be in strict
harmony with the school board and
faculty and that not single act not
in full accordance with the school au-
thorities would be permitted.
1t has been demonstrated, not only
with the local team, but with others
from far and near, that a football
team primarily needs a coach and
good one Without a coach the best
material on the turf would be woe
fully shown up by an inferior organi-
zation that had received the proper
training. TO devise the means of Sc
curing a coach for the team was the
main object of the meeting yesterday
evening.
Several committees were appointed
by the chairman, each with Individual
work to do, the combined efforts of
which will, it is hoped, place suffic-
lent funds in the hands of the treas
urer to pay competent coach during
the months OF September October and
November. All the "big games of the
coming season are scheduled to be
played on the local field That being
the case, the residents Of Chickasha
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1914-08-11

and the student body will have the
privilege of seeing the best high
school football in the state played
here at their very doors. This fact
also gives Chickasha the opportunity
OF playing all their hard games at
home, thus increasing their chances
of winning.
Funds are to be raised in several
different ways. First, an alumni com
mittee was appointed to raise as large
an amount as possible from the
alumni of the C. II. S. A committee
on baseball will promote a game or
series of games of baseball between
local men, thus adding to the fund.
Still another committee will stage a
social dance or two to add to the
amount and the last committee, name
ly, the "old sports" committee, will
work among the lovers of the game,
procuring small amount from each.
The total should be ample.
Il have encouraged football in the
aigh school for several reasons" said
Supt. Ramey. Il think it develops
sturdy manhood in the boys and
brings certain among them to the
school room who would never be
drawn there by any other medium. /
am sure that the Chickasha high
school football team has done more to
advertise Chickasha over the state
and Texas than any other one thing
that has been done in the CITY,"
Looney Wallace, captain of the
squad for 1914, states that at least
seven of the old men will be back
against this year, in addition to which
some promising material from differ
ent points is coming in. Also, several
cf last years "scrub" eleven will
make some of the old troopers hustle
to retain their places. The outlook is
bright and with the support assured,
the coming season should be one of
the best in the history of the Chicka
sha high school gridiron warriors.

WILL LIFT
EMBARGO

Washington, Aug. 1.-The secre-
tary of state is expecting word
momeniarily that the embargo against
the departure Of foreigners from Ger
many will be lifted today.
A new order calling to the colors
all Germans between the ages of II
and 35. however, may cause delay.
Bryan intimated that he would soon
make demands on Germany to permit
the departure Of Americans.

the conditions OF American tourists
continue to pour into the state depart
nent but many tourists are said to be

Rivers in Vicinity Of Liege Run Red
with Human Blood Germans
will Use Heavy Guns to
Reduce Forts
GERMAN ATTACKERS
FIGHT FEARLESSLY
Advance in Face Of Shells from
Forts While Ranks are Deci-
mated Before Recall Sig
nal is Sounded
By United Press.

By United Press.
Brussels, Aug. 11.-The waters of
the rivers In the vicinity of Liege are
stained red with human blood. The
forts are still held by the Belgians and
the garrisons have made many bril-
liant sorties, inflicting severe losses
on the Germans. The Germans will
use heavy siege guns in an attempt to
reduce the forts.
Heavy detachments of French artil-
lery passed through Brussels today
entroute to Liege. Fighting is still in
progress north of the river Meuse.
The allied armies moved north from
Namur to reinforce the Belgians.
Troops numbering 100000 are operat-
ing against the Germans on the Meuse.
The war office here announced that
5000 Germans were held as prisoners.
Wounded soldiers arriving here told
stories OF GermaH caring in the sun
day night attack on Fort Seraing. 1t
was stated that several regiments
rushed across the fields in massed
formations Shells from the forts tore
great gaps in their lines but the sur
pivors kept on till the entertainments
Of the Belgians were reached.
These entrenchments proved almost
impossible to penetrate. The German
rear guard rushed upon the advance
guard while rapid fire guns from the
forts slaughtered them. The attack
ing column could not break through
and no signal for retreat was given,
the ranks of the attacking forces be-
ing decimated by the rain Of fire from
the forts. Not until 500 had been kill
cd and 5000 wounded was the signal
for the recall of the Germans blown.
Spies Are Executed.
Executions of German spies by the
Belgians on SO large a scale as to APP
proach wholesale slaughter was be
gun Monday when 100 Germans. con-
victed by courtmartial of being spies
were stood before Belgian firing
squads and shot. Five hundred others
had been arrested up to Monday and
face similar fate.
Belgium has been covered by net
work OF German spies. Some of those
captured wore uniforms of gendarmes,
civil guards, soldiers and officers OF
the Belgian army Many were armed
with bombs and revolvers and rode in
automobiles.
Just before and after the fighting
began private signs were discovered
on bridges, mill works, and acqueducts
indicating that these structures should
be blown up.
Severe precautions have now been
taken by the military authorities. No
one is admitted at the railway sta
tions without a military permit. Au-
tomobiles are halted at every mile.
The war minister has issued a proc
lamation that every German and Aus
trian who does not declare himself
within twenty-four hours will be con
sidered spy. Since the Flanders
provinces were placed under martial
law two days ago, more than 200t
have been arrested as spies.

Pie Eating Contest
for the Boys Clubs

At least the boys of the clubs about
the city feel that they are to receive
all that is coming to them, and with
weather eye on the coming event,
they are cutting their rations down to
the minimum, conserving space, so
TO speak, for on Wednesday night
they will all assemble at the Metho-
dist church for pie eating contest.
They have been swimming, fishing,
ball playing and what not, and while
enjoying all these pleasures, they
hardly thought that they would ever
fall heirs to treat like a pie eating
contest, outside July 4th celebration.
It's coming and every boy in the
gang opines that he will be Sitting
there" when the bell taps. The prize
Tor the champion pie Gather will be a
case note, in other words, dollar.
The rules viii be catch as catch can
with the strangle hold barred.
Also, there is something else to be
on tap within few days, prepara-
tions for which are almost completed.
The gang, about 100 strong, will leave
soon for the banks of the Washita
river at Lucille, headed by Mr.. Albert,
and there for several days will give
limitations of Davie Crockett, Daniel
Boone and few others of the old
boys of that ilk. Next week has been
set as the time.
