NY. HARBOR SEALED

New York. Feb. 5.-The 81 Ger
man and Austrian ships lying in New
York harbor are sealed. They will
not be seized unless something fur.
ther takes place in relations between
this country and Germany.
It was stated ON the highest au-
thority that not merchant ship In
the United States has been seized by
this government, This authority
pointed out that 1t was the seizure
OF German ships by Portugal which
led to declaration OF war by Ger
many on that country.
The ships were sealed and guards
placed about them FOR the purpose OF
preventing members OF the crews
not naturalized from leaving vessels
and take up residence without un-
der going immigration examinations.
Several ofthese cases already have
'been noted. 4 The crews have been
warned that they must either stay
aboard or 90 to Ellis Island for ex-
animation.
The sealing OF the ships was, ac-
complished without disorder, The
guards on the piers were ouadrupled,
the men were warned that they could
not 10 ashore without forfeiting the
right to return. and all persons were
kept away from the ships with the
same explanation.

SUGAR LEAPS.

Sugar jumped seventy-five cents sack Friday with
out moments notice. The jobbers retailers and con-
sumers caught sleeping on the belief that sugar
would not reach the nine dollar mark for time to
come Inquiry to the of the increase returned
information by Fred G. Taylor assistant general man.
ager and secretary Of the Amagamated Sugar company
that the price raised in San Francisco and New York
This due to the reports Of the Cuban situation and
shortage and the demand Mr. Taylor said the dealers
both in the east and west had practically withdrawn the
product from the market Mr. Taylor said that he did
look for fourteen dollar sugar He said that he hoped
the government will take hold of the situation before that
time and keep the price down.
We believe that it will only be matter of very short
time that the government will be compelled to have its
agents do this. There in Ogden City great number
of people who have been trying for sugar.
They purchased at little seven dollars the sack and
are going to hold out for fifteen dollars the sack

and manipuations by the recent grand jury but We're
greatly disappointed. There investigation made

SIZE OF CITIES WILL

Rodney II. Brandon. speaking be-
fore the Ad club on the worth in dol
lars and cents of citizen to a COM
munity in which he lives, declared
that the inhabtant value decreases
In proportion to the increase in popu-
lation. The larger the city. after u
population of 5000 ~a5 peen reached,
the less Is each inhabitant worth 10
the property owners.
This brings up the question, which
Is receiving more serious attention
every year, of how large our cit es
rhould be.
At the recent national conference
on town planning in Kansas City "a
speaker from Dallas declared that his
ambition was to See Dallas with Il
population of 10000 and that he did
not want 1t to become any larger.
Other speakers concurred in the idea.
city of 100000 has all the urban
advantages the individual could want.
II has parks and modern Fairgrounds
the best there Is in stores. factories,
residences. transportation facilities
and the other accomplishments ana
conveniences of the modern motrop-
oils.
The ideal plan would be to require
a certain area of agricultural land to
each community according to its pop.
ulation. Then when city reached
its maximum, II would have to brancn
out.
Professor Merriam of Chicago ue-
olares that the activity of the Ameri-
can city today is centered upon lund-
amental physical plans for municipal
growth. BY way of contrast he says
the decade from 1880 to 1900 was
taken up with the overthrow of the
spoils system and the period from
1900 to 1910 saw the Introduction OF

ment That this Classification oil tnn
present era strikes at the truth Is
proved in New York and Chicago,
where millions are being spent to
widen one street. other cities all
over the country are correcting the
mistakes of poor planning at an i'm
mense cost.
There is no doubt that the city OF
the future Is going to limit the height
of its buildings. the proportion of
ground each building may occupy,
the proportion of park space to IN
habitants, and other character or All
construction work. II Is believed that
the city of the skyscrapers Is soon 10

The result will be to build out in
stead of up. When business dis
,rlct reaches a certain area, another
center will be started elsewhere.
The contrast between the old anil
the new is seen In New York and Los
Angeles, the former with its forty
story buildings and the later sur
rounded by its thirty suburban CEN
,ers.
Unfortunately, the tendency OF the
American city is to initiate New York
rather than Los Angeles.

terday afternoon while playing in
front of his home, ~ East Fairview.
His condition was pronounced as criti-

The lad did not collapse, as is the
case with many prostratons. Becom-

complained to his mother. Medical at
tention was called and as his condition
grew worse, he was removed to the

This is Tulsa's third neat victim Of

the intense wave which struck the
country so quickly after a cool spring.
The thermometer descended to 81
yesterday as compared to 80 on Tues
day, but the drop did little to relieve
the perspiring city.
