FIRE MARSHAL WANTS
CITIZENS TO ASSIST
People Have Become Careless
and the Fire Bug Is Given
a Chance, He Says.

w. A. Shoat fire marshal. believes
that the losses from fire are becoming;
too numerous from the cause OF care
lessness and has issued a number Of
warnings to citizens. Chief of these
is the manner in which loose paper
is handled and the failure of many to
install incinerators or to use them
for burning OF trash. Following is a
letter by the marshall to the citizens,
asking for more cooperation in fight
ing the fire bug:
ITO the citizens of Tulsa.
II am asking you to be more care
full In taking care OF your papers and
packing of all descriptions. Do not
throw or pile II in the alleys or on the
roofs of buildings, or vacant lots,
thinking some one will haul 1t off
for you. The city ordinance is that
all combustible material must be
placed in metal receptacIes with close
fitting lids. Otherwise removed every
day.
some people are getting very ne
glectful along this line. | hope you
will take more interest In this mat
ter. DO not wpit until you are ordered
to remove tho same. / find lots or
places where paper and rubbish of I'll
descriptions Is thrown out in alleys,
which keeps our streets looking bad,
caused by wind blowing paper and
trash over the streets. l find several
prominent hotels with back stairways
filled with paper. half a wagon load
at a time. Back doors often locked.

Rubber hose connections on gas
stoves are too numerous. stoves burn
ing in some business houses all
night and other hazardous conditions
exist all over the city. This must be
remedied. Take n little more time
and clean up your place Of business
and residence. Lets all get together
and have a clean and better Tulsa.
Do not wait until you are ordered to
better these conditions. IL may be
too late. Lets get busy and all work
together and stop the fires we have
been having. 1t may be your plcae
of business or residence next. Tulsa
has suffered very severe fire loss,
caused by carelessness in many cascc.
Don't forget those inclnerators for

PRESBYTERIAN CAGERS
WIN ANOTHER VICTORY
Illinois Five Defeated by Score
of 40 to IL; Squad Will
Return This Week.

Special to The World.
PINCKNEYVILLE, ILL.,. Dec. 30.-
With Springer doing the feature play
ing of the game the Henry Kendall
college quintet of Tulsa tonight de-
feated the Pinckneyvllle Independents
here by a score of 40 to IL. Springer
at center made total of 2S points
for the visitors. Gale, who played at
forward for Kendall also did stellar
work.
That the goal of Coach Mefford of
developing strong basketball squad
during the present trip in the north
is being reached is proved by the
above score and the results of recent
games. Coach Mefford stated when
he left, he hoped to have a team the
equal of any in the southwest when
he returned from the trip, owing to
the valuable experience to be gained
by the boys.
Following Is what an Illinois publ
cation had TO say of the team in an
nouncing one of the games: THE
Kendall college team is making q tour
of Missouri and Illinois during their
Christmas vacation and the meeting
with the Du Quoin grads is expected
TO be a real treat by the basketball
fans. Do you remember the third
day of the state Tournament in 1916
when the report was received from
Decatur that read Robinson IA, Du
Quoin 1872 If you do. come out
Thursday and you will see the cause
of such a report. Springer. the all
state Robinson star, that made nine
points in the last five minutes of the
game. Springer is playing center for
the Oklahoma college. Kendall Is
playing such teams as G.. A. C. and
