WARNING TO BOYS
WHO RIDE WHEELS

"The accident which befell Fred
Ruyle, the Western Union messenger
boy, and his narrow escape from death
should be warning to other boys in
Chickasha who ride bicycles and who
have become very reckless" said Traf-
fic Officer Tommy Dwyer this morn
ing. "These boys seem to believe that
the traffic rules do not apply to them
and they have given us plenty of trou-
BILE, cutting corners, running on the
wrong side of the street and trailing
along beside wagons and other vehi-
cles. 1t is dangerous play and the
boys must be careful or they will be
arrested just as are other violators Of
the city's laws"

Governors Confer.
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Dec. 14.-Forty COVER
nors, aided by several governors-elect
and by as many more former chief
state executives, rolled up their sleeves
today at the opening Of the annual con
ference of governors, to take up some
of the heaviest problems the confer
ence has ever wrestled with. They
will be in session three days.
It is believed a storm of discussion
will center around the question of in
creasing the powers of the interstate
commerce commission to fix intra-
state railway rates. From opinion
gathered before assembly most of the
governors will oppose any curtailment
of state control over state rates.
Western governors are expected to
lead in an attack against federal SUI
pervision or control Of lands and nat.
ural resources within state borders.
Chief of the social events is a recep-
tion by the President and Mrs. Wilson
at the White House tomorrow.

ACTION OF
GERMANS
BY United Press.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE first organ
lied protest of American citizens
against the deportation of Belgian
worlmen into Germany will be regis
tered tomorrow night when Elihu
Root, James M. Beck and the Rev. w.
r. Manning will address a meeting in
Carnegie Hall called for the purpose.
The exact line of action has not been
determined but it is expected that a
resolution saying the citizens are re-
sentful of the deportation practice will
be adopted
The call for the meeting was sent
out by committee of citizens who ST.
multaneously requested the state de-
partment to let them have all availa-
Bile information on the deportation
which the department thought proper
to give out. This will be supplement-
ed with information from Minister
Hayenith from Belgium and with infor-
nation gained through unofficial chan.
nels.
The United States, officially, has
made two representations to Germany
regarding the deportations-th first
as the ambassadorial representative Of
Belgium and the second on its own
behalf. It was represented to Germa-
ny that the deportations were viewed
with deep concern here.

CROTTO MEMBERS
ARE HOME AGAIN
Delegation of 107 Masons Make Trip
to Detroit to Attend Supreme
Council Sessions.
LOCAL BADGE IS HANDSOME
Monarch O. F. Hildebrandt of AmO0
Placed on Committee on Mile
Washington in 1917.

The members of the Rock Island
delegation from Amoo grotto, who at
tended the supreme council sessions
of the Mystic Order Yelled Prophets
Exalted Realm, at Detroit, June is to
q, returned home yesterday afternoon.
They report a very large number of
visitors in attendance, but regret that
in their estimation, Detroit did not live
up to its reputation as a convention
city. Hotel rates were doubled arbi-
trarily, and in some cases tripled. A
charge was made for the official pro-
gram and other matters of this kind,
which caused embarrassment to the
visitors. 1t seems as though the COM
mercial organizations of Detroit have
no way of controlling the hotel rates.
Have Unique Badge.
The badge used by the tri-city peo-
pie was the most sought after of all
those used by the different grottos,
and was voted the handsOmest and
most unique badge of the convention.
The badge was triangular affair, en-
bracing Mohassan, AmOo and Zal grot-
toes, supplemented by bar with the
II.
! AmOo grotto and MohasSan grotto
also came in for their share of the at
tention, in that Amoo grotto serenaded
the hotels and headquarters of the
different grottoes and introduced its
original novelty, 'Zuleika," which is
well known to local members. The
Mohassan band was also greeted by
| applause along the line of the parade
! for being one of the best uniformed
and farthest western band in attend
ance
Amoo grotto was signally honored
when Monarch 0. F. Hildebrandt was
appointed member of the committee
on mileage and per diem. ]. W. Hou-
der and Wayne A. Lloyd also repre-
scented Amoo grotto as representatives.
Washington, D. c., was voted the
next convention, and plans are already
being discussed for making the trip
with even larger delegation than the
one to Detroit. One hundred and sew
en- members made the trip from the
tri-cities and this would have been dou-
bled had it not been for the centen-
NAL celebration. Quite a number of
the local people made extended trips
through the east and will not return
for several days
1t might be said that Detroit claims
to be the automobile center of the
world, but very few cars were to be
had for sightseeing except at ex-
orbitant rates.
