TO FORGET
INSPECTION
MEANS $40
lndiscriminate Killing Of Cattle, Hogs and
Goats Without Inspection is
Against Law

The heavy hand Of the law will
henceforth be laid upon those individ-
uals who are caught slaughtering
beeves, cattle, hogs, sheep or goats
within the city limits without such
livestock having been inspected by the
proper authority before its slaughter.
Those who are guilty Of this offense
will be subject to $40 fine.
Special Officer f. %. Clayton, who
is the regular slaughter house inspec-
tor, stated this morning that during
the summer months only the regular
butchers and meat market men do the
slaughtering and these adhere strictly
to the law and pay their fees Of twenty
five cents for every head Of cattle and
fifteen cents for every hog. sheep or
goat that is killed.
Now that cooler weather has set in
new people are bringing in their stock
and killing 1t without inspection before
death, thus laying themselves liable to
arrest.

in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City, Nov. delegates
to the Ozark Trails convention at Ok
lahoma City, November 21.22, already
appointed and who have signified their
attendance number into he thous-
ands. These men are coming from
every town or city on or near the pro-
posed thanscontinental highway be-
tween st. Louis and Los Angeles.
Among them are the governors of at
least three states. 1t will be gather
ing OF the foremost men in these re-
spective communities and the conven-
ton will be notable for the high class
of its delegates.
Those most enthusiastic regarding
this highway are men with intimate
knowledge OF the value Of other trans
continental lines to the communities
through which they pass. They assert
that to a comparative new region such
as Oklahoma and New Mexico with
great undeveloped natural resources
the value Of an Ocean to Ocean high
way would be of even greater value.
The strength Of this argument is OBJ
vious.
The convention itself will be the
largest in numbers OF delegates than
any convention Of any character ever
before held in Oklahoma. Hotels are
preparing to care for all who come by
requisitioning. if necessary. the aid OF
private residences.

Washington, Nov. 1.--Secretary OF
State Lansing today denied that the
presidential campaign which is now in
progress would have any effect on the
Marina case or that there had been
any change in the submarine policy
either at the suggestion Of the presi-
dent or the state department.
The situation growing out of the
Marina sinking looms up as fraught
with the most serious possibilities
since the torpedoing Of the Sussex.
If the evidence shows the necessity
for taking drastic action to expiate the
offense of the submarine commander.
Germany will be proven to be guilty
Of prosecuting relentless and indis-
criminate" warfare against commerce.,

declared in the Sussex note of April

PERMIT OR

Chickasha Drivers, However, Will Be

Legally that They Can Drive

Complaints against the new traffic
law requiring al persons to procure
permits from the recently appointed
members of the automobile examining
board and to pay a fee of seventy.five
cents for the examination as to his
qualifications by said members Of the
board have been uttered ON many
sides and some Of the bolder protest
ants have even informed Sammy Dwy-
err that they would not pay this fee
and consequently would not take out
@ drivers license but would continue
to operate their machines as hereto
fore.
To all of these protestations Sammy
has explained the situation and has
informed the drivers that it will either
be seventy-five cents and permit or
be hauled into police court where the.
neglectful one is likely to pay a SIS
or $40 fine according to the merits Of
the case An appeal would cost con
siderably more than the seventy-five
cent fee.
Officer Dwyer reported this situa-
tion to Mayor Coffman this morning
and the latter backed the motorcycle
cop up in the premises.
ANYONE who is arrested for failure
to procure this license and drives
motor car within the limits of the city
of Chickasha in violation of the city
law will be fined" declared his honor
this morning This is a city law and
is not in conflict with any state law
and all that is necessary for people
to save IS and $40 fines is for them to
obey the law.
"The examining board is facilitating
the work of owners and drivers of cars
as much as possible at the same time
requiring absolute knowledge that the
applicant can drive properly" contin.
ued the mayor "In many cases where
persons are known to be good drivers
and who have been driving their cars
for two or three years rigid exami-
nation will not be necessary"
1t was decided today that the resi-
dents Of chickasha will be given until

sued as was in the case of the opera

who gave them chase, they will be
lodged in the city jail pending investi-

1t is the belief Of the officer that the
boys, who appeared to be about nine.
teen years old. intended to steal the
car, at least that is the basis on which
search for them is being based.

had left it. The loss was Immediately
reported to Dwyer, who spent thirty

time the boys eyaded arrest. Finally,
while in sight Of the motorcycle cop
the miscreants ran the Ford into the

were about nineteen years old. They
had their faces covered with white
