THERE are 400 dclinqucnts on

intention Of the county authorities to
collect this money, even if it becomes
necessary to lock store doors and con-

County Attorney Ed Grassland, dur

IMPORTANT CASES UP
Prairie, Gulf and Texas
Pipe Line Companies
VIII be Considered.
Special to The World

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. Fol
lowing last years figures closely the
state board of equalization Thursday
assessed nearly a score of oil and pipe
line companies, Increases were made
in some instance, but these were
small. A few decreases were made,
as the result of some property being
exempt from ad valorcm taxation .un-
der the terms of the gross production
tax law
The most important increase made
was i'm the valuation of the Magnolia
Petroleum company, which was as
sessed at $45O,0O0, compared with
S12S,O00 in 1914. This advance was
ordered because the company has CON
siderable more property in the state
othis year. having completed a mum
her Of pipe lines which Just had been
started when the last years assess
ment was computed.
The board Friday will reach the
most important stage of its entire ses-
sion, when it will take up the Prairie,
Gulf and Texas Pipe Line companies.
The omitted property case of the
Prairie Oil x Gas Co. will be heard,
according to the schedule announced.
1t was decided Thursday to tax ex-
press companies this year by the old
ad valorem method instead of follow
ing the provisions of house bill No.
"a, which directed that they be as
sessed on gross receipts. This action
was taken on motion of Attorney Gem
eraI 5. p. Freezing who declared it
questionable as to whether the terms
of the new law could be made eff
fective this year. The revenue to be
derived by the state will be practically
the same. g..
The following are the assessments
made by the board Thursday:
Glennpool oil company $4,000,

BEST ANTISEPTIC
NOW DISCOVERED

PARIS, Aug. 5.-Dr. Alexis Carrel
of the Rockefeller Institute of Medi-
cal Research and Dr. Henry d. Dakin
Of the Lister Institute have discovered
after exhaustive experiment at the
Compiegne military hospital what
they claim to be the ideal antiseptic.
The most powerful antiseptic known
to science is hypochlorite Of lime but
its use is injurious TO the tissues owing
to its acidity and 1t does not keep.
The two physicians have found these
two defects are remedied respectively
by the addition Of carbonate OF lime
and boric acid. If applied in time
the new antiseptic is said TO make In
lection in wounds impossible.

Hundreds of refugees from War
saw arrive here daily. Most of
them are without money and are
seeking aid at the American con-
sulate where an enlarged staff is
attempting to supply temporary
assistance, pending organization
Of Russian relief committee.
The Russians state that al
though the Polish capital was
convinced that the Germans ul-
timately would occupy the city,
a large majority of the citizens
elected to remain, only approx
matCly Is per cent having left.
This accounts for the compare
tive order and absence Of panic,
which accompanied the exodus.
When German occupation first
seemed imminent, the govern
ment ordered that third class
tickets to any point in the in
terror should be given to all Rus
slams who desired to leave. The
only condition was that such per-
sons would not be allowed to re-
turn without a special permit
Much Quiet Exodus.
Those choosing the alternative
of departure foresaw that War
saw would be visited by condi-
tions similar to those imposed on
LODI. that the town be cut off
from the interior of Russia,
whence all provisions were OBJ
tanned, and would suffer from
famine.
The Russians compare the system
tic abandonment Of the city with tn
,anic caused by the first German ap
,roach last October when an attemp
# the city officials, institutions ant
private citizens to all bolt at once, re
ulted in indescribable confusion.
The retirement this time was s,
arefully planned and so system
.tcally executed that it went lik
lockwork.
An unusual feature of the aban
Ionment was the fact that provision
ickets were unnecessary.
The bulk of the refugees Travelled

Russians Fighting Rear
Guard Actions in Hope
Of Saving the Army.
BAVARIANS FIRST TO
MARCH INTO CAPITAL
Where VIII Kaiser Turn
His NictOrS Loose
Next.

LONDON Aug. 5.-Q0:15
p. m.0-The Germans are i'll
possession of Warsaw, cap
ital Of Poland and the third
largest city in the Russian
empire. Bavarian troops
entered the city this morn
ing having taken success
siyely the Blonie lines and
the outer and inner fort
resses of the city itself, the
Russians fighting only rear
guard actions to allow their
main army to make good its
escape.
While to the Bavarians,
commanded by Prince Leo
pold, has fallen the honor Of
taking over Warsaw in the
name of the German en-
peror, and his consort, who
are expected to make a state
entry within a few days, the
real cOnquerors are the
troops fighting under Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg
along the Narew river to the
northeast; to the Austro-
Germans, who crossed the
Vistula south Of the city,
and to the armies Of the
Austrian archduke Joseph
Ferdinand and the German
field marshal Won Macken-
sen, which are advancing
northward between the Wis
tula and Bug rivers.
Russ Fight Desperately.
The Russians are fighting desper-.
ately and stubbornly TO check the
progress of these four armies and
have had several successes infllctlnS
heavy losses on their pursuers; but
they are being steadily pressed back
which made the longer occupation OF
the Warsaw Polish salient hazard
Gus undertaking.
Even now although the steadiness
of the Russian troops and their fierce,
rounterattacks have gained much
valuable time for them, II Is prob
lematical whether the whole Russian
army will succeed in reaching the
new positions chosen for II, or whether
IL II should get there It will not find
those positions turned by the Aus
trians, who have crossed the Bug
southeast of Chelm and the Germans
under Generals Won Scholz and Won
CallWitz who have crossed the NareW.
AT the northeastern end of the line
the Russian communications are fur
ther threatened by General Won Bue-
low. who is advancing toward Dvinsk
on the Wilma -Petrograd railway. In
deed the Austro-Germans have set
three trans to catch and destroy the
Russian army. None of them were
sprung. but one was so near to clos
Ing that Granu luke Nlcholds was
forced TO eyacuate Warsaw and now
&c fighting with all his might to pre-
vent the others from cutting off his
retreat.
Not Many Prisoners.
Thus far he seemingly has been
successful for, although the Germans
claim the capture of a large number
of prisoners, the aggregate is small
when compared with the immense
forces engaged. In addition the Rus
