Committee Action.
The scene of the massacre will
be partly on that block Of Main
street between Broadway and the
Santa Fe tracks, and partly on the
county courthouse lawn Friday
night
The idea came to the executive
committee in charge OF the Liberty
loan campaign this morning A
unanimous resolution indotSing the
bloodshed was passed and COM
mttee will be appointed this alter
noon to work out details.
The block on Main street to be
used for the lynchlng will be roped

sion hasn't been obtained yet, but
Judging from past performances OF
the city's chief executive IT will be
given gladly)
Red Lights to Be Used.
Red flare lights will be placed in
the places where they will do the
most good All the Boy Scouts OF
the city will be on hand TO see that
the job is done thoroughly. They
will be drawn up in military forma-
ton and it will be their duty to see
that every man, woman and child
in the crowd has an opportunity to
take a poke at the Hohenzollern
dummy, which is bound TO be very
llfe-like, because the Hohenzollerns
are dummies to begin with
Then speakers for the Liberty loan
campaign will begin to harangue the
crowd. They will show how Okla
homa City can put the "kibosh" on
the genuine kaiser by buying liber-
ally OF Liberty bonds Just as easily
as the crowd can pull the dummy
to pieces, set fire to it or hang it,
And then the fireworks will start
literally The flares will be it,
someone will pull an arm from the
dummy and the merry work OF the
evening will be under way,
March to Courthouse.
After the crowd has satiated its
blood thirst. it will march in a body
to the county courthouse according
to present plans. There another
dummy-maybe of the crown prince,
which would be vurry vurry appro-
priate-will be stood up against the
courthouse vigil, Just as the inno-
cents OF Belgium were stood up be
fore the Hun machine guns.
A firing squad of Boy Scouts
will be lined up before it A small
cannon will be pointed at the figure
In this cannon will be Liberty
bond. A scoutmaSter will give the
command Boy Scout will pull the
cannon lanyard and-hlooic the
crown prince will crumple and turn
up his toes to the DAISIES
All of which is merely another
allegorical fashion OF explaining to
local people what their buying Lib
erty bonds will accomplish
The crowd will then be allowed to
celebrate in its own fashion for the
remainder OF the evening. The most
approved amusement, however, will
be buying bonds.

The point was raised that before the
Improvement district was formed
food water ran across the grounds Of
the college and the question then
came up as to whether the improve

blaze was extinguished without call
