STATE AUTO INSPECTOR
STILL TAKING THEM IN

One hundred and fifty automobile
owners took advantage of Inspector
Frank Carter's leniency yesterday to
file their applications for state licenses
before the whip of the law cracks
down on the delinquents.
1t was a case of another day spent
writing out applications as fast as he
could handle them, so far as Mr.. Car
ter was concerned. After a grueling
day he said last night that he was
again unable to find the time to get
out warrants against delinquents.
More than one hundred and fifty
names have been reported during odd
hours by Frank Wolfe, who is acting
as deputy to the inspector 1t 1t thot
that hundreds of machines can be
found tagless as soon as systematic
search is inaugurated.
Active enforcement may start any
day. according to Mr.. Carter, who will
beghi his caxonaign as soon as the APP
plications fall off.

According to Gage the corn about

WOLVERINE LOSES IN
S600,000 OIL TRIAL
After Five Days Hearing De-
PENDANTS Get Decision in
Lease Litigation.

After five days of narrowing trial,
the jury in the case of the Wolverine
Oh company VS.. William and Mar
garet Parks took only 23 minutes to
bring in decision in favor of the de-
PENDANTS. While William and Mar
garet Parks, ct al, are the virtual
winners Judge Conn Linn, w. II.
Gray and the firm OF Reason & Har-
ris stand to gain the most from the
decision by reason of the fact they
hold oil leases on the property.
by virtue OF the decision of the
court. the defendants are awarded
the possession of the CLANCY Parks
allotment near jerks. which is esti-
mated as being worth 5000, 600. This
was the third trial of the case. one
previous decision being in favor or
the defendants and one trial having
resulted In a hung jury.
The contention of the Wolverine
company was that they held a pre-
Vious deed executed by the original
owners OF the property The office
OF the defense was TO prove this deed
a forgery and to maintain that their
possession Of the property was en-
tirely iustifiable.
Argument Of the half dozen or more
leading attorneys on either side tooN
up the entire day in the case yester-
day, providing a fitting whirlwind
finish TO the endless repetition or
testimony introduced during the pre-
vious DAYS of the trial.
In separate finding. the jury de-
cided that the deeds executed TO the
wolverine company were forgeries
and therefore did not allow the cor
poration any consideration in con-
nection with the title 10 the land.
The plaintiffs have three DAYS to
file motion for new trial.

WEIRD EXCUSES GIVEN BY
ANTI-SlGNING HOUSEWIVES
"Womcn DO Not Read Papers" Con-
cludcd Workers for Food
Conservation Pledges

Four hundred Tulsa women had
been counted in as signing food con-
s,rvatiOn pledges at 9 o'clock last
night in response to the appeal OF the
national government and the state
council OF defense. Miss Mary j.
Bennett, who has been in charge Of
the movement in Tulsa, when inter-
viewed last night, expressed the hope
that with cards not yet accounted for
tho committee would be able to re-
pct five hundred signers. which was
the minimum amount called for.
The great tpuble with the average
woman OF Tulsa, az well as the aver
age woman OF the United States" said
one of the volunteer workers, lis that
she does not read the papers. To-
day for instance. much time and ef-
fort had TO be used in explaining the
food conservation movement and the
why" of these pledges. altho il has
been Siven the widest publicity by
the daily press. American women
must wake up and take a broader In
tcrest it they are to have the slightest
preparation for the big responslpin-
ties which future movements w1ll
place upon them"
While on the whole the canvassers
were met agreeably there was quite
a great deal OF Indifference. and some
actual antagonism. II never sign

several housewives OF Tulsa II do
not want to help feed England" said
one anti English woman and stuck TO

the dumbfounding reason offered by
one woman. who said she did not care
to economize by governmental re-
quest. Many women said they were
"a ntfnt . In Oil Of
possible sNtent on account OF excess
sive food prices and did not care 20

times these could not he led to sign
the pledge which was only a testi-
monial of such economy.
About twenty women who voiun-
teered for the service at the mass
meeting on Thursday acted as can
vassers. In some instances. house-to
house canvasses We're made. but in
the majority OF cases the canvasser
called on her personal friends.

WATER SYSTEM TAKES
ALL DISCUSSION TIME
AT c. OF c. LUNCHEON

Because the discussion Of plans
for rebuilding the central reservoir
and pumping station took up so
much time, the discussion of South
Bends clubhouse question at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Monday noon was not reached, and
was postponed 10 a later date. 1t
will in all probability be taken up
before the ordinance comes before
the council committee of the whole
on Tuesday, Dec. 4.
T. NJ. Morris, president of the
board of public works, addressed
the meeting, explaining the proposed
changes, and using drawings in his
talk. b. c. Stephenson followed,
declaring that if it were learned that
the source of South Bends water
supply were contaminated. the loss
would be greater than six of the
city's busiest business blocks with
the entire contents.
Sam Robinson also spoke upon
the water situation, advocating
abandonment of certain parts of the
city's present water system
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. c. A. Lippincott. Two new
members were reported by commit
tees, making the total since the work
began several weeks ago. 81. The
campaign will continue until 100
new members have been procured.
