FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
OF PICKETS RACES
Hold Night Session 70 Test Uabcas
Corpus Writ, But Still in
DcadlOck.

Efforts of counsel for w. G. Bunge
and ID. X. Gambill, union pickets,
arrested last week for parading in
front of the Empress tneater and in
forming passersby that the theater
was unfair" to union labor to per-
suade Judge j. II. Ramsey of the
county court that ms clients were
entitled 10 immediate release on a
writ Of habeas corpus started "a legal
battle which lasted three hours In
the afternoon and resulted in Il night
session. Court was adjourned at 9
o'clock last night without anything
being accomplished and the battle
will be resumed this morning at 8
O'Clock
Attorney F.. ]. Giddings of Okla
homa City, representing the union
men, contended that the city ordin-
ance covering disturbing the peace Is
not valid for the reason that it con-
flicts with the state law and further
that the pickets should be released
because they had not violated either
the ordinance or the state law.
Assistant City Attorney John II.
Woodward. representing the city, said
that the process by which the writ
was served on the men by the dis
trict Judge did not make it necessary
for Judge Ramsey to hear the case
and further that the county court has
no jurisdiction at this time.
Il is the contention of the city that
the proper procedure is for the de-
fendants to file an appeal bond and
accept a trial by jury at the next term
Of the county court.
Whether Judge Ramsey will hear
violence in the case and pass on it
viii be decided one way or the other
when court convenes this morning.

Commissioners and Mayor
Decide Cheap Shows
Hurt the City.
HOLD A MEETING
Report of Municipal Han
ding of Garbage Will
Be Made Soon.

There was little important business
brought to the attention of the mayor
and city commissioners at their usual
Tuesday meeting yesterday morning
the most pressing being the con
sideration of a report submitted by
a committee of property owners OF
Holmes and Wells additions, asging
that paving be used on the streets
through this growing residential sec
ton of the city.
During the meeting, Mayor Sim
mons announced that since the close
of the carnival brought to Tulsa for
the purpose of furnishing amusement
for the delegates to the State Fed
Grafton of Labor convention. he had
come to the conclusion that the bene-
fits derived from such attractions
were not worthy of the efforts in
policing and protecting them, and at
no future time during his administra-
ton would he permit such shows TO
operate in the city.
At the meeting of the mayor and
commissioners yesterday morning Su-
perintendent of Health DR.. DeZeli
IIawley, declared that he would pre-
sent at the next meeting Of the com
missioners q report upon the matter
of municipal handling of garbage.
Doctor Hawley has made close
study of this problem for the past
several months. and 1t is intimated
that his report next Friday morn
ing will suggest that all refuse from
kitchens shall be dried, and the re-
mainder prepared for collection by
being wrapped in paper and retained
in metal cans until collection is
made
The meeting OF the commission did
not last more than thirty minutes.

frame buildings comprising half of a
block on the main street here were
wiped out by fire which had its
origin in the rear of a second hand
store owned by Robert Sherrod early

each end of the line of buildings de-
stroyed bv the fire prevented further
spread of the fire and the burning of
the entire town. The buildings and
their contents were valued at $4,000.
Starting at o'clock in the morn
ing. the fire ragged for more than an
hour before the Perkins fire depart
ment, aided by the entire male popu-
lation of the town, could make any
tea dway against the flames. The
stone walls were the only things
which prevented a high wind from
spreading the flames farther. Sew
eral small barns were also destroyed.
Although the cause OF the fire is un-
known, incendiarism il not suspected.
Tho following buildings were
burned to the ground The W. ).

History, Says Department of
Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-The ef-
feet of the war on the worlds bust
ness is detailed in statement COM
piled by the department of commerce
for Chairman simmons of the senate
finance committee, in which the fol-
Loving general conclusions are given:
Business activities were fairly nor
NAL in all countries during the two
years preceding the war. In every
country there was a decided decline
after July. 1914.
The period of depression lasted
from four to six months in neutral
countries. In belligerent countries
the upward trend did not begin until
the last few months In 1915.
The United States at the close of
April last entered upon a period of
business activity which has no par
allel in its history"
Complete figures could not be OBJ
tained for all countries, but the re-
port contains elaborate statistics and
diagrams bearing on the subject.

other Roads Come I'm.


NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The an
nouncement here tonight by the New
Haven railroad that because OF the
impending railroad strike it would re-
fuse all shipments of freight which
can not be delivered before a. M,
September 4, brought out the fact that
similar action is being considered by
the other roads entering the city.
Albert T. Hardin, vice-president OF
the New York Central, said tonight
that A. II. Smith. the president, was
expected from Washington tomorrow
and that the question of an embargo
probably would be gone into.
Delaware, Lackawanna q Western
officials discussed the subject, but, ac-
cordng to p. j. Flynn, vice president,
reached no definite decision.
The Pennsylvania and other roads
here, 1t was said. also are undecided
as yet.
Inquiry today among railroad di-
rectors and important financial in
terests affiliated with railroads indi-
Gated no change of attitude In re-
spect to the railroad strike situation.
Although the negotiations at Washing
ton have been in charge of the rail-
road presidents, II is well understood
here that the ultimate decisions in
the dealings with the employees and
the president nave with rev eXcep-
tions rested in the hands of the execu-
tive committees of the various boards
of directors, many of whom are the
most important financiers of the
country.
These men for the most part, one
% them said today. are for insistence
TO the end upon the principle Of arbi-
tration and viii not back down. come
what may. IT also was asserted that
when the railroad executives de-
livered their answer to the presid ent
today the last word on the railroad
side had been said
