SCHOOL TAX CASE
TO HIGHER COURT
School District Wins First SlSirmish
viii Carry Action 10 the
Supreme Court.

The case Of the Tulsa school district
against John Cramer. Tulsa county
treasurer. demanding that the cor
poration tax collected In Tulsa school
district be paid to the Tulsa school
board and appropriated locally, rather
than paid to the state and proper
toned among all the counties OF the
state, according to scholastic popula-
tion, will in all probability be APP
pealed, according to Treasurer Cramer
yesterday afternoon.
Two cases were tried i'm district
court before Judge NJ. A. BreCken-
ridge last week to determine the opin-
ion Of the court in regard to the APP
preparation of the corporation tax. one
case was that OF Glenn Pool school
district No 20 against the county
treasurer and the other the Tulsa
school district against the county
treasurer. Both were decided I'm ia
vor of the plaintiff and, in the opin-
ion of the court, the constitutional
amendment providing for a pro rata
distribution of corporation tax Is not
self-eXeCuting and further legislation
is necessary to execute the law 1t
was decided that until this legislation
was provided the corporation tax
would be used at home until Mr.. Cra-
mer was advised to appeal the case as
q precautionary measure.

GERMA NAIRSHIP
is RUSS VICTIM
Parseval Flew Over Libau But Did
Not Return, Is Admission
of War Office.

RERLIN, via London, Jan. 29.-
(7:15 p. m.)-The Parseval airship
which flew over Lbau. the Russian
port on the Baltic, on January 25. did
not return.
The report that the German cruiser
Kllberg was sunk In the battle in the
North sea last Sunday is untrue. All
the German ships with the exception
of the Bluecher have returned.
The above dispatch apparently con-
firms a statement by the naval gem
eral staff at Petrograd that German
airship which dropped bombs on
Libau last Monday was brought down
by gunfire, falling into the. sea. The
airship was destroyed and the crew
captured, 1t was stated. The state
ment, however, referred to the bal
loon as a Zeppelin.
Regarding the Kolberg. Vice Ad-
miral Beatty, commander of the Brit
ish fleet in the North sea fight says
that the German prisoners reported
that the Kolberg was sunk. The ad-
miralty In its statement regarding the
fight also referred to the Kolberg as
reported sunk"

Sec. Redfield Says Govern

No Menace.
WON'T FIGHT THE U. S.
America Is Only Supply
Point for Belligerents
of the World.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 29.-Steam-
ship companies that deal fairly with
the American people need have no
fear of goyernment-owned vessels,
Secretary Of Commerce Redfeld told
New Orleans business men today But
If private shipping interests Of the
United States continue to act unJustly
toward the shipper ana they have
the power now, we will crush them, "
hc said. Government ships never
would be placed in competition with
those Of private interests who are
charging fair freight rates"
Mr. Redfield spoke at a luncheon
given by the Association Of Commerce.
This organization recently sent to
Washington a formal protest against
the proposed government ship pur-
chase bill.
Good men and wise have come to
me with the statement that operation
Of ships now by the government would
involve us in international difficult
ties Mr., Redfeld declared
THAT is funny. 1t really is a Joke.
MY department now has offers to pur-
chase ships that could not get us into
trouble. one OF Inem Is lOt OF 81
vessels Furthermore, there is no ma
tlon in the world that would seek II
cause for trouble with us now. We
are the only nation that can furnish
supplies to the balance of the world.
They need us and want our friend
ship"
In statement Mr.. Redheld had
said that Greek ships had been Of
fercd for sale to the United states.
The secretary maintained that it
would not take many government-op-
Grated ships to regulate freight rates
Of private lines.
1--WE would not buy many ships with
the money it Is proposed to expend,
but the few vessels would be in about
the same relation to the private lines
as the pendulum to the clock. The
pendulum is much smaller but 1t reg
uates the clock"
