LONDON. July 4 - Immediately
after Premier Lloyd Georges speech
in the house of commons. in which he
announced that the cx- kaiser would
soon be tried by an international
tribunal here in London, the belief was
expressed in official quarters tha, a
note would be sent 10 the Dutch gov

tradition OF William Hohcnlolern.
This strong possibility gave rise 10
much speculation, especially in view
of recent authoritative dispatches from

winner IN FIGHT
Assessments Of Street Rail-
ways Not TO Be Raised,

The first step IN a campaign started
by the Oklahoma Utilities association
to obtain lower assessments OF public
utilities in the state was won, ac-
cording to II, A. Lane. manager Of the
association, when the board OF eQuali-
zation consented not TO raise the as
SeSSment on street railway companies
The association will now make a
similar campaign each year. Ian"
SAYS. to discourage raises in assess
mcn,S OF other public utilities until ali
the branches OF industry under the
association have been covered
The association has shown the
board OF equalization that assessment
on public utilities are Is to ~ percent
higher than on other industries. This
is attributed 10 the TACT that the rec
ords Of public utilities are more easily
accessible than those Of private com.
pany or corporation.
July promises to be a busy mont
for the association. Lane says On
Monday the county chairman OF Dis

~ Permanently,

pm Seven years ago this morning Ok
iahoma City was a hedlam OF noise
anvils, revolvers, giant crackers and
explosive canes all uniting in a territ-
ic din that made conversation on the
street impossible,
SIX years ago the safe and sane
ediot was issued by the city fathers
following a petition from representa-
tive citizens. The ordinance became
effective on July 4, 1913 and since
tha, date Independence day has been
observed quietly but none the less EN-
Enthusiastically.
Many Injured. .
In We olden days never Fourth OF
July passed but that several persons
lost their lives in ovcrlcalous patriot
ism. Many times that number were
iniured-some OF whom were lett lie
long cripples. The ire department
was always assured OF busy day,
fighting flames caused by fireworks.
While 1t was regarded as a holiday By
the ordinary layman, the tiremcn
looked upon II as Just the opposite and
the entire shift was on duty from the
early hours until well past midnight
But il the sentiment OF the present
city commission may be regarded as a
barometer, the wide-open Fourth IS
aone forever. When a petition was
presented to the city fathers two
weeks ago, in which an unrestricted
Fourth was asked, it was rejected
without, protest. All expressed the
sen,imen, that it would have been un-
wise TO let down the bars after pro
hib,on' had proven so satisfactory.
Police at Parks.
The police will not be bothered to-
day with calling ambulances, but they
will be busy nevertheless. Mayor
Walton has issued orders for assign
ung pa,rolmen at outing resorts. Three
will be on duty at Wheeler park and a
like number at the baseball park

ty, last nigh, issued a warning against

the day away from their dwellings
Kesler asks that unusual precautions
be taken 10 see that no fires OF any
nature he lett unattended in the
homes. He also asks that matches be
placed where there is no likelihood
OF rats or mice getting to them.
