CITY WILL NOT PAY FOR
CIDER WITHOUT LAWSUIT
Mayor Simmons Turns Down Claim OF
Il. & NJ. Produce Co. Man
agcr.

William Redfern, manager of the
+. q NJ. Produce CO., at which place
the police confiscated and destroyed
sc kegs of cider. has secured all of
the satisfaction this side of lawsuit
that he can. according to Mayor John
Simmons.
Redfern has placed in the hands OF
city officials bill for SO0.6O. which
he claims is the value of the liquid
which was poured into n sewer. lie
asked that the bill be paid promptly.
But a delay is the only prospect.
The reason the raid on Tulsa's cider
stock was inaugurated was because II
came too much into notice of the
court. but then 1t was police court.
Mayor Simmons yesterday declared
that the end of the matter probably
would be in court as no bill for
destroyed cider would be paid until
the courts had returned a verdict in
favor of the company owing the liquid
which was lost.

FOR BERTHS NOW
After July l No Telephone
Reservations for Pullmans
Will Be Made.

After July 1 no reservations for
Pullman sleepers will be made except
when the order is accompanied by the

bulletin posted in local ticket offices
by the Pullman company yesterday.
Heretofore almost all the Pullman
business has been done over the tele-
phone, 1t being the custom to reserve
sleepers and call for them Just before
train time. A very small percentage
of tickets have been sold outright in
the past.
AS result OF this practice the Pull
man company has been caused serious
inconvenience and loss of money by
failure of those who have reserved
berths by telephone to appear to take
them up.
