NO SUBMARINES TO
EUROPEAN NATIONS

Washington, Dec. S.-President
Wilson Monday expressed the opinion
through a statement issued by Sec
retary Bryan that the building OF
submarines for any of the belliger-
ents of the war would be contrary
to the spirit of the neutrality of the
United States.
The statement contained an an
nouncement that the Bethlehem Steel
corporation. of which Charles NJ,
Schwab is president, and which owns
the Fore River Ship Building com
pany. had deferred to the views OF
the president, and did not intend TO
deliver any submarines to the bellig-
erents during the present war.
Secretary Bryan said Monday he
felt sure that the presidents declara-
ton would deter shipbuilders from
sending parts of submarines to Can
ada for shipment as has been re-
ported.

CITY COUNCIL
IN REGULAR
N e 7 | N c
CEMsTERY QUESTION is AGAIN
DISCUSSED, WITH PROBABLE
SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT-TRAc-
TIoN COMPANY SUED.

Last night the Board Of City Com
missioners met in regular session at
the city hall. Very little, aside from
routine business, was transacted and
the regular bills against the city
| audited and allowed.
For a long time there has been
a controversy between the city and
Ollie Bailey, relative to the payment
of land now used by the city as
cemetery. This question has been
before the council half a dozen times,
but nothing has ever been done about
1t. Last night the city attorney re-
ported that if he were given a free
hand, he would settle with Mr.. Bailey
for this land. and in all probability
the business will be settled in few
days.
Mr.. Bailey will be compelled to
bring a friendly suit and get a judg-
ment for his claim, after which the
money will be paid as soon as there
is sufficient cash in the fund to
do so.
The city attorney reported that he
had brought suit against the Ard
more Traction company for paving
cost, amounting to s2,945.53, and that
the attorneys for the traction COM
pany acknowledged that theirs was
a prior claim, and would be the first
paid whenever the funds are avail
able.
The reports of various heads OF de-
partments were read and ordered
filed.

PARK BOARDS
CONVENTION
At TULSA
m. LEGISLATION is ONE OF
'cRI o,"TE AIMS FOR I'M
PRoVEM-'. TX LAWS
AND PARK CoNDII,-.ls.

A sumptuous banquet at Hotel Tul-
sa at 1880 today was the crowning
feature of the state convention o.
park boards in Tulsa today. On this
condition prominent citizens of Tul-
sa mingled with the visitors and the
occasion was one that is certain tC
result in the improvement of park
conditions and park laws over the
entire state. Owing to the fact that
the delegates were slow in arriving
there was no meeting this morning
as had been scheduled, the banquet
being the opening event of the con-
vention.
c. T. Abbott, a member of the
Tulsa park board, was the toastmas-
ter. He told in a brief and concise
manner what the local board is at
tempting to accomplish and introduc-
ed as the first speaker r. L. Da-
wilson, senator elect from the Tulsa
Washington district.
Mr. Davidson explained the diff
culties that beset the Tulsa park
board in its efforts to improve the
park system and establish a boule-
ward drive around the city Money
voted for park improvement purposes
cannot be expended outside the city
limits which makes but little of the
bond issue recently voted for boue-
ward purposes available. He urged
that the powers of the park boards
Of the state should be extended so
as to give them the right of emf
nent domain and that the boulevard
proposition should be placed under
county control.
Walter Eaton, a member of the
Muskogee park board and represen-
tative- elect from Muskogee, brought
a message from the sister city. He
spoke of Muskogee's park system
as the best in the southwest, but de-
plored the fact that the state laws are
not conducive to park development.
Three reforms are advocated by |
Mr. Eaton. The cities. he holds, |
should be districted, each district to |
be responsible for its own public |
The city expense |
budgets should not be passed upon |
by the county excise board but
should be put up to a city excise
board of from three to five members
who work without pay but who are
and therefore interested in
he development of their home town.
There should also be uniform tree
planting in the street parkings which
should be under the control and /su-
'ervision of the local park board.
Addresses were also delivered by
'red Gableman, engineer of the Kan
as City park board, Sidney Suggs,
oklahoma state highway commission
r and G. Hutchins, one of the Of
GERS Of the Automobile club of Kan
as City.
At the conclusion of the banquet
he meeting was adjourned to the !
ommercial club rooms where offic-
rs were elected and permanent or t
effected.-Tulsa Democrat
