FISHING IN CITY
LAKE MAY Be
PERMITTED AGAIN
CITIZENS PETITION COMMITS
SION, AND MAYOR GIVES
ENCOURAGING WORD.

A petition to revoke an existing
ordinance prohibiting persons going
upon the watershed of the city lake,
from which Ardmore receives its
water supply and to enact another
ordinance permitting entry thereon
to any person who shall pay small
fee and to hunt on the lands and
fish in the lake, was presented to
the city commission at its meeting
last night. The mayor assured the
petitioners that they could fish there
after next Tuesday, provided the
city commissioners pass the ordi-
nance as requested.
A dozen or more citizens appeared
before the commission, and O. II.
Wolverton presented petition,
which he said was signed by more
than 500 people, asking that they
be allowed to hunt and fish at the
lake. Guy Sigler, J. f. Buchanan,
Noah Cisco, principal of First ward
school, J. B. Spragins and others
made talks in favor of removing all
restrictions as to hunting and fish
ing there.
The entire talk was along the line
OF protecting the dam. The CON
tamination of the water, which the
people of the city depend upon for
domestic purposes, was not men
toned throughout the hearing, ex-
cept that Mr.. Buchanan said in his
talk, provided there is no danger
of communicating the water"
The mayor recited the dangers
surrounding the dam. He, too, made
reference to the possible contami-
nation of the water. Then he told
the petitioners he was gong to give
them what they asked for, if the
commissioners saw fit TO pass the
ordinance, and then it was up to
them, the petitioners, and he would
not be to blame if the dam was de-
stroyed. He said for someone to
make a motion to instruct the city
attorney to prepare the ordinance.
Commissioner Wilson made the mo-
tion and Commissioner Gardner
seconded it. The motion prevailed.
The only word of protest made
against the prayer of the petition
being granted came from Commits
sioner Fraley, who said he was in
favor of keeping everybody away
from the lake and watershed.
The mayors plan, as he explained
it last night, is to establish a dead
line across the lake and not allow
fishermen or hunters to go near
the dam, but to fish in the lake at
distance from it. The mayor
added that the matter was in the
hands of the government and that
it might stop them from fishing.
The reports of the building in
spector and the city physician for
the month of January were re-
ceived and filed.
The proposal of Tom EcholS to
purchase from the city FIVE acres OF
the watershed at SIS per acre was
rejected.
The mayor stated that contro-
versy had arisen between the city
engineer and the paving contractor
as to the disposal of dirt in the
streets that are being paved. The

LARGEST WOODEN
SHIP LAUNCHED
At ORANGE, TEX
GIANT VESSEL MEASURES $50
FEET LENGTH, 48 FEET
BEAM.
CAPACITY FOR 47OO TONS
Equipped With Triple-Expansion
Engines of 1,45O Horsepower
Total of SIS Other Ships Building
in Same Yard.

Orange, Texas, Feb. with
none of the pomp usually attending
such a ceremony, the largest wood
en- steamship ever built was
launched on the Sabine River here
today just five months after its keel
was laid.
The steamship was built for the
Cunard Steamship Company of Liy-
erpool and designed by A. a.
Daugherty, formerly of New York.
Its dimensions are: Length, $50
ieet beam, AZ feet; moulded depth,
u feet. 1t will have carrying ca
pacity of 400 tons and will be
equipped with triple-expansion en-
gines of l,450 horsepower.
The vessel contains more than
two and a half million feet of the
best material of the Texas and
Louisiana pine forests besides its
quota of heart oak and fir. It's pro-
peller blades are more than fifteen
feet in length and two and a half
feet wide.
The ship was built by the Nation
al Ship Buildin gCorporation, and
there are now six vessels of similar
type under construction at its yards.
Altogether, there are IS oceangoing
ships in various stages of compile
ton in the yards at Orange, a good
share of them being built for the
government.
Installation of machinery will be
hurried, and the equipment of the
vessel rushed simultaneously with
the work on the other ships, and 1t
is expected by the time the ship
launched is ready to steam out to
sea, several of the others will have
been launched.
The development of Orange as
shipbuilding port followed the COM
pletion of 28-foot channel in the
Sabine to the sea. Two years since
its completion the port has grown
to a city of 10000 population, OF
whom 1000 are engaged III the ship
yards.

"All sorts of preparations are in

the capital. A great many Aus
trianS are here, too, The demeanor
of the Germans thus far has been
exemplary. They go about avoiding

US. GUARDS MUST
WEAR BLUE CLOTHES

Washington, Feb, 27.-Members
of the new United States guard will
not be permitted to wear regula-
tion khaki and olive drab despite
their complaints that the old army
blue uniforms provided have sub
jected them to the appellation of
"stay-at-home heroes"
War department officials explain
ed today that blue uniforms such as
formerly worn by regulars, were
adopted for the guards to obviate
the necessity Of using cloth needed
for the fighting forces.

London, Feb. 27.-If special dis
patches from Petrograd gauge ac-
curately the situation there, the
Germans are likely to find little dif-
6culty in occupying the city with
trained troops. Russian soldiers on
the line frankly refuse to fight and
say: Eve have had enough of
fighting. If the Germans come, let
them take US.
There is a sitter attitude among
the workmen, from whom, if at all
resistance to the Germans must
come. Even though for lack OF
training, their resistance should
prove of little value, they are said
to be enrolling with enthusiasm in
response to the call of the bolshevik
leaders. The correspondent OF The
Daily News, writing Sunday, says
Russian troops almost without
exception have refused fatty tc
fight. A division which was sup
posed to be defending Narya has
arrived at Gatchina. Ensign kry-
lenko protested. They replied they
did not intend to fight.
Peasant Soldiers in Stampede.
Immediately the first few Ger

the way.

FEWER STOPS BY CITY
CARS SAVE MUCH COAL

Washington, Feb. 27.-Coincident
with the fuel administrations CON
sideration of plans to reduce the
number of stops by city and inter
urban trolley cars as a coal saving
measure, traffic experts revising the
national capitals street car service,
in an effort to bring it up to war
time efficiency, have estimated that
skip stops on every street railroad
in the country, together with coast
in gof cars, would save between four
and five million tons of coal a year.

TUBBY MURDER
TRIAL CLOSING

After the noon hour the work OF
;mpqneIlins a jury 20 try Jim Strib-
bling, accused jointly with Tubby,
was begun.
The case of the State VS.. William
Tubby, an Indian, charged with the
murder of Matt Hooper OF Mari
eta on Santa Fe train at the
Union Station in Ardmore, Feb. Is,
went to the jury at Ills today. A
session of the court was held last
night and the evidence was closed
at 9 o'clock. One hour and a half
was allowed to each side for argu-
ment and at 9 o'clock this morning
Jesse Graham of Marietta began
speaking for the prosecution. Mr..
Graham is a friend of the Hooper
family and volunteered his services
IN the case. At the conclusion of
his argument II. II. Brown spoke
for the defense, he and Russell
Brown, appearing for Tubby, and
will also represent Jim Stribbling,
jointly charged with Tubby.
Altogether, there had been IS wit
nesses summoned by the state. All
of these were not placed on the
stand. Their evidence was simply
cumulative, all testifying to about
the same facts. The defense intro
duced no evidence other than that
of the defendant and Jim Stribbling.
Both testified that they knew moth
ing about the case. They both said
they were SO drunk when they left
Berwyn they could remember moth
ing that occurred from that time
until their arrest.
All the evidence in the case was
equally direct and is, perhaps, as
we'll shown by the testimony OF
Algie Pogue and Forest l.. Hooper,
the latter a brother of the man who
was killed, as if all the evidence ad-
duced in the case were printed In
full. The testimony of Pogue COW
cred wide scope. He said he was
on the train on which the killing
occurred, being on his way from
Purcell to Ardmore, and was riding
in the smoker. Tubby and Strib-
bling passed back and forth through
the smoker, both having the appear
ance of having been drinking, and
that they were displaying guns. He
said he saw the Indians after leav-
ing Berwyn and that as he passed
out of the smoker they were in the
VcStibule. Stribbling asked Matt

PRICE-HNNG FAILURE
SENATOR LODGE AYERS
HOPS ON GARFIELD AND
CLASSES HE AND HELP
ERS AS AMATEURS.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Govern-
ment price fixing as a method Of
preventing prohteering has proved
a failure, Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusettS declared today in giving
the senate the conclusions he had
drawn from the recent investiga-
tions of the coal and sugar short
ages.
In the case of coal, Senator Lodge
said, price fixing had only served to
curtail production, while the food
administrations prices plan for su-
gar had kept western beet sugar
from the eastern states, and in the
meantime retailers of coal and sugar
had prohtcered.
To prevent prohteering by a few,
the Massachusetts senator explain
ed, the fundamental error of the
administration was that policy of
fixing all prices-declared a failure
in both Germany and France-was
adopted, instead of one of stimu-
lating and increasing production"
Blame for the coal shortage, Sen
ator Lodge laid to the fuel admins
tration's price fixing plan, together
with railroad difficulties. and the
closing order he described as a
complete confusion of impotence
and failure. He denounced the fuel
administration as an unnecessary
agency" which was composed
largely of amateurs"
The senator dealt in a milder man
ner with the food administration,
although asserting fixing the price
of sugar was "a mistaken policy
and the sugar famine largely arti-
fetal.
