sideration at Meeting OF Pc.
lice Commissioners.
FINAL ACTION IS POSTPONED
board Votes to Purchase Two Addi-
tional Automobiles, One to BE
Added to Traffic Squad Equipment.
"facilitatOr" Not Considered.

again the attention of the Board Of
oi'cc commissioners hns been turned
'oWafd the owners and drivers Of auto
mobiles. And this time II is the siren
signals which are the cause OF official
consideration and which may lead Ma
Jor Werner to Issue orders prohibiting
me use of any signal other than the
old-stylc "honk" bulb.
The matter came up before tho board
nj Its regular meeting in Headquarters
last night. 1t was discussed at some
length with the result that the matter
was tabled until the next meeting of
the board. Until that time Major Wcr-
hcf ana his cohorts Will give careful at
tention to the kinds of signals in use
ana decide upon course. Should IL be
FOUND advisable to prohibit the use Of
the siren alarms and others of a similar
nature. the word will 70 forth and
those who persist in the use of this va
riety of signals Will be hailed into court
for ordinance violations
At the meeting last night the board
decided to purchase two additional au-
tomobiles for the use of the Police De-
partincnt. one of the cars Will he add
ed to tho traffic squad while the other
Is to become patrol wagon for the
Third District. The cars arc TO be de-
livcrcd as soon as possible.
ASK ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD
TO INSTRUCT SURGEONS
IL was decided also that a request be
made OF the Administrative Board that
that body issue instructions TO surgeons
IN charge of the local city ambulanccs
directing them to obey instructions or
orders of police station desk scrgcants
regarding the disposition OF patients
received at the precinct stations.
The board decided To place a total Of
thirty-siN men on the traffic force
These men will work in four shifts of
nine men each. and will perform trat-
iic duty about once month. When not
on traffic posts they will do regular pa
troll duty. This decision Of the board
resulted from the request made short
time ago by members Of the present
traffic force that they be required to do
but six hours duty on sundays. Mem
bcrs of tho traffic force have regular
cight-hour shifts at present and arc off
the remaining sixteen hours. while
other members of the department., eS-
cepting desk sergcants and captains.
are required to conform 10 the irregular
platoon system which sometimes forces
them to do as much as twelve hours
straight duty.
Traffic Sergeant Bradlcy's traffic ia
cilitator' did not get hearing before
the board last night AS was expected.
II was said that the sergeant is wait
ing to hear from his patent attorneys
before bringing the matter OF making a
sale to the local department to the at
tcntion of the board.

PRAY FOR PEACE
SAYS WILLIAMS
Governor Issues Proclama-
ton Officially Naming
Peace Day.

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 1.-5GoN-
ernor Williams has issued a proclama-
ton setting aside May Is oas peace day.
The proclamation il as follows
For the past 10 years it has been
the national custom to observe May
IS as Peace Day by suitable and ap-
prOpriate exercises.
with the clash Of arms in the great
European war; and the spectacle of
half the world dronched in blood, this
proclamation comes this year with an
extraordinary appeal, Never before
in the history of the world has such a
terrible warfare existed or have the
blessings of peace been so much de-
sired by the nations of the world as
at the present time. Peace on earth,
good viii toward men,, has come
down ringing through the ages as
message from the Savior Of mankind.
War destroys the work OF n lifetime
i'm a mere day. Peace is constructive
Of good. uplifts mankind, and is a nG.
tiou builder. All men everywhere
should prefer peace to war, and ear
nestly emphasize that the citizens Of
every land and the members Of every
race. should live together i'm mutual
helpfulness and peace. When the de-
lirum Of the present European strife
is over the peoples Of the world will
renew their peaceful yocations and
work i'm common once again. The
spectacle of suffering and devastation
now going on should fire every boy
and. girl with a permanent revulsion
against war We should have in
grained I'm our minds the fact that war
can be eliminated by the Will Of the
people and an abiding peace restored
among the nations
Therefore. /. K. l.. Williams. gov
ernor of the state of Oklahoma, do
set apart and designate Tuesday, May
IS, 1915, as Peace Day. and respect
fully call upon all churches, schools,
societies and fratelnal organizations,
and the people generally, to observe
this day by such exercises as will stir
the emotions of love and good will in
our hearts toward all mankind"
