ONE WAS TO BLAME;
NEITHER Is FINED
Jitncurs Air Spite Case i'm Court
After Accident in Which
Cars Are Damaged

Another jitney struggle was aired
in municipal court yesterday after
noon when J. h. Welvern. a jitney
driver, appeared as prosecuting wit
ness against Prince Greer, a fellow
tfadesman. who was charged with
reckless driving. Greer was released
after evidence was introduced which
showed that Welvern was in the
blame for the matter.
The charge came as a result of a
collision between the two jitneys
which occurred Sunday morning at
the corner of Seventeenth and Car
son streets. Welvern's car struck
Greer's automobile as Greer was
turning around at the street inter-
section.
1t was brought out that welvern
had only driven a car two months.

HURRY TO CHURCH;
CAN'T FIND FIRE
Wisps of Smoke Curl Out of Cath
olic Structure and Cause
General Alarm.

Wisps of smoke curling from the
southwest spire of the Holy Family
Catholic church at 1880 o'clock yes
terday evening caused general
alarm at the entire central fire sta
ton. Several hundred people we're
attracted by the spectacular rln
made by the engines down Boulder
and watched the firemen dash in'o
the church with chemicals.
Ten minutes later the men filed
down the steps of the church and
replaced the chemical containers
which had not been used. After
Il thorough search of the building,
the department was unable to fnd
any trace of fire.
Officiaries in the church we're
positive that smoke was issuing from
the spire at the time the alarm vas
turned in and set a corps of wa.cn-
men to searching every recess of the
spire last night.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
conference TO-DAY
Polk and Arredondo Vir-
tually Conclude Prelim-
inal'ies for Farley.
Special to The World.

Special to The World.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Formal
announcement that joint interna-
tional commission will seek a solution
for border disputes between the
United States and the Mexican de
tacto government probably will be
made tomorrow. Acting Secretary
POLK and Eliseo Arredondo, General
Carranza's ambassador, virtually con-
cluded their preliminary conferences
today 1t Is regarded as improba bic
that additional diplomatic correspond
ence VIII be necessary. Mr.. Arredon-
do assured Mr.. Polk today that his
government was willing that the COM
mission should have broad SCOPE:
but that it wished to see the immedi-
ate questions arising from the border
situation disposed of first. State de-
partment officials agreed with that
view.
President Wilson is expected to an
nounce the American membership Of
the commission at once. Selection of
the place for the meetings will be left
to the commissioners themselves.
Delay i'm TRANSACTIONS.
Delay in consummating the commits
sion plan was due to conflicting trans
lations of that portion of General Car
iiot llOlt utdllllS WITH the SuR
gestion to give a broader scope to the
commission. Withdrawal OF Ameri-
can troops from Mexico, negotiation
of a protocol covering future border
operations and investigation of the in
terests behind border raids first were
outlined by General CarranZa for dis
cusslon by the commissioners, but
when the United States suggested
wider latitude, General Carranza in
dicated that he desired the three spe-
cific questions named taken up pref
erably." Whether he meant to close
the door on wider inquiries into re-
lations between the two countries and
means of restoring economic and fl
nancial order in Mexico was not GER
tain.
Mr.. Arredondo assured Mr.. Polk to-
day that the language meant merely
three specific points before proceed
ing to other matters. He said the
Mexican government intended to COM
ply with the suggestions of the Wash
ington government completely except
that it sought to indicate what sub
jects it thought should have priority
1t is understood President Wilson aud
his advisers are hopeful that a plan
may be evolved whereby aid can be
given a constructive effort to solve the
economic and financial problems
which General CarranZa is facing.

g;ILL PLACE PAPER
BALERS IN TULSA
Comes in Response to Uni
versal Cry for COnserva-
ton of Supply.
SAVE ALL WASTE
II. d. Mooney of This City
Will Have Charge and
viii Direct Business.

Tulsa is one of the first cities in the
for a conservation of the paper supply,
and as a result, it was announced
yesterday that Doctor DeZell Hawley,
city superintendent of health, would
soon grant permission to Nj. ID. Moon
ey of this city for the erection of a
waste paper sorting and pressing plant
near the municipal dump.
At this plant, according to Mr..
Mooney all old papers. magazines,
strawboard and other paper material
will be sorted from the garbage which
is brought to the dump, and this will
be pressed and placed on the market.
1t also is part Of this program in
the conservation of paper, to install
smaller presses or bailers in all of the
larger office buildings and store build
ings where the waste paper will be
selected from the refuse of the build
ings and will be turned over to Mr..
Mooney who will act as agent for one
of the largest paper houses of the
east.
Much Paper Wasted.
1t is estimated that several thousand
pounds of paper are thrown away by
the downtown office tenants every
week, and with the soaring prices of
this material. it will prove profitable
business for the ianitors of the build
ings in which the small balers are
placed.
Mr.. Mooney also suggests that all
of the societies in the city, organized
for charitable purposes, assist in the
collection of waste magazines and
other papers, for which a price will
be paid, the money to go to the charit-
able enterprises.
With continued soaring prices for
paper, and the large field which Tulsa
affords for such an enterprise, it is
but a matter of a short time until q
modern paper and waste material
plant will be developed from the plans
now being formulated by Mr.. Mooney
