Street Car Officials Agree
to Proposition of May
or Wooden

Arbitration was the KEYNOTE Of
Fridays meeting of the city commits"
sion when representatives of the Jito
ney and street railway people met
with the city dads to frame a .itney
regulation ordinance suitable ~ both
parties q. II. Bosler, president Of
the Tulsa street railway. agreed TO
be content with an ordinance which
would exclude the nickel auto serv-
ice from streets upon which electric
cars run excepting Main north OF
Sixth and Third one block each side
Of Main
He also stated THAT the street rail-
way. company would have 10 grieN-
ancc if the iitnoy were charged a
license fee Of $40 per annum for each
seat in the automobiles employed and
made TO furnish . $1,000 assurance
bond for each machine. G. s. Walker,
attorney for the iitney people. stated
that he was satisfied with all these
specifications, excepting the tax,
which he considered too high.
The commi sion voted To instruct
the city attorney 70 frame an ordi-
nance conta ming the details agreed
upon.
Says II Prohibits.
In conference between Bosler. and
Walker yesterday afternoon no
agreement between the differences
was reached. The commissioners eX-
pressed their belief as favoring the
proposed ordinance as read this
morning.
I'VE are willing TO have healthy
competition on lines parallel to us.
but on other streets we cannot com
pete with the jitney II 1t IS allowed
to snipe our passengers on the same
street" said Mr. Bosler yesterday

smaller license fee than formerly de-
manded. II is fair in every detail
and | think the Tulsa citizenship will
agree with me"
Mrs Walker stated that his clients
considered the proposed ordinance
unfair, the license fee and other regu-
lations making II prohibitivc to the

the ordinance route" said Walker
yesterday "The present proposed or
dinance is prohibiuve."
He did not say he would appeal to

contend that the fact that he served
so faithfully on the police jury for
such terms Of years and with such
little pay, hardly being enough to
defray his expenses to the point
seat, alone entities him to the honor
which he seeks.
MIR. Keaton is a man who is we'll
qualified for the office of sheriff. He
is man of fine physique absolutely
fearless and if elected to the office
promises to enforce the law.
he comes from one of the best

LFGIONS MANEUVRE
 YET AROUND WARSAW

PETROGRAD, August 1O.-The mouth of the German trap is now only thirty miles wide but our forces still have a good chance to escape from it. The Teutonic Hanks have gradually closed in to the southeast and north east of Warsaw but their movements were slower than they had reckonej on and their great chance has prob ably been lost. Good news came today from the Baltic where the German fleet has been repulsed at the entrance to the gulf of Riga. The Teutonic ships had come with the intention of reinforcing the land forces engaged in the attack on all the Russian positions around the city of Riga. A still bet ter bit of information is that the Rus sian army has recaptured the city of NEtau to the southwest of Riga and shows remarkable strength in that quarter
