BOOZE CASES PLENTIFUL
COMPLAINS COMMISSIONER

'T don't know whether I am 60
ing or coming" said United States
Commissioner ]. II. wilkins, yester-
day. The booze business is GER
tainly picking up. I don't have time
to hear anything except introduce
ton cases"
Yesterday the commissioner heard
the cases Of four Italians from Sap
ulpa who went TO Kansas City on a
wild party and returned with l6 gal
Ions ot pretty good tangle-foot."
Josephine Tomasone was held on
$500 bond which she made, and two
men, Carlo Bruno and Carlo Tomas
one were held on $1,000 bond.
Quite the most interesting part OF
the case was the hearing OF the
childish Esther Auburn, a mere girl
l6 years old, who had doubtless been
led into the escapade by the older
members of the party. Because Of
her tender years the judge didn't
have the heart to send her to jail
and she was released on her own re-
cognizance.
1t Is believed by federal authorities
that a white slavery case can hu
made against Bruno, who accompa-
MED the girl, Esther, across the state
line into Missouri.
Mike Folette, another Italian, was
arrested yesterday by T. A. Hubbard
OF Sapulpa, and turned over to the
federal authorities OF Tulsa. He will
be arraigned today

U. S. ACHIEVES
VAST TASK IN
WAR RAILWAYS
Greatest System Of Com
munication Ever Used
Q by Army.

Paris. France. Aug. 1.-THE
American army in France Is rapid
ly pushing to completion the great
est and longest scheme OF commu-
nication aver used in warfare. The
way 1t has overcome colossal OBJ
stacaes and multiplied handicaps in
perfscting the system seems almost
Incredible as IL Is now in full op-
erstion.
For instance. out of the waste
lands adjacent to an old Frenen
mort American egineers have built
a splendid line of modern docks.
where every day now ships arc
mourning forth their cafgoes of men
aad war machinery. A huge new
warehouse system at this point Is
also nearing completion and taking
care of the great flood OF supplies.
In the same coast town the
Americans have installed motor op-
Grafton and cold storage plants, a
motor reception park. and quarters
for storing supplies for ordnance
and aviation forces.
200 Miles trsckage.
The railway yards in this vicinity
have a trackage OF 200 miles. Work
is well advanced on a new car as
sembly shop. where 20 or more
freight cars are turned out every
day. Another assembly plant has
been erected to handle all-steel cars
transported from America in parts.
Not far from this little port work
is about completed on a 20oo-ocd
hospital. the largest yet constructed
in France. In the same section Is an
immense new artillery camp ready
for several brigades of artillery to
OCCUPY II. II includes large re-
mount camp with capacity for sew
eral thousand horses.
Capable Direction.
The work on all these projects owes
its success largely to the capable and
intelligent direction Of the American
executives in charge OF II.
These port communication centers
are great affairs today. but they are
so worked out as to be capable Of al
most unlimited expansion il neces-
sary. This Is highly important in
view of the tendency toward pooling
Of French. British and American
supplies and efforts. which may easay
resolve the American base ports into
main reserve centers from which
their channels of distribution will
radiate directly to railroads on all
parts of the front.

a marked increase in the activities of

obvious. but for this the officials think
there is a satisfactory explanation.
Navy experts believe that the Ger

dent to them, they say. that probably
not more than three Of the effective

navy officials is twofold:
The Objeetiyes.
First-In order to attack the
the L. S. army by the destruction Of
one or more transports.
Second-ln order to attack the
transports the U-boats have started
series of operations all along the
coast from Massachusetts, to North
Carolina believing that the Navy
Department will concentrate a big
destroyer force to capture or sink
them and thus decrease the protec-
tion OF the troopships. supply ships.
and the greater class of trans
