A S advertising took on this char

fuenced by advertisements. expand

All life and living tends more and

she, too, was Gin business and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-

THREE MEN ARRESTED
FOR P0LLUTING RIVER
Poisonous Sulphuric Acid and
Oil Residue Being Dumped
Into Arkansas

Investigation yesterday revealed
that the water supply of the city Of
Tulsa is being polluted daily by large
quantities of sulphuric acid and other
oil residue. coming from the Pierce
oil refinery at Sand Springs. War
rants were issued last night for the
arrest of Ed Ryan, superintendent of
the plant, after two of his workmen
had been apprehended on similar
complaint.
Protest was made some time ago by
the state game warden, who has jur-
isdiction over the waterways of the
state. Altho the Investigation came
under his direction. it is probable
that the prosecution will be taken up
by the city. since the river Is OF such
vital interest to Tulsa.
1t is understood that complaints
have been turned in by those who
have used the water direct without
its liberation at the waterworks.
They claim that the acid renders the
water useless for any purpose and
dangerous to drink.
1t Is probable that Mr.. Ryan will
be brought to the county attorneys 3
