INSIST ON ARBITRATION.
President Wilson Calls Presidents of
the Railroads Into the Conference
—Little Hope of Agreement.
The heads of the railroads are in-
sisting that the law be obeyed, and
that the differences between them and
the trainmen be submitted to a board
of arbitration as provided in the New-
land act.
The trainmen are insistent against
arbitration, claiming that they would
not get justice under the Newland act,
and that the railroads must come to
their demands to the e^ent, at least,
of granting an eight-hour law, with
other differences to be adjusted by a
commission appointed by congress.
The railroad managers are holding
out for arbitration as a principle,
saying: "Of what use is the law of
"Oklahoma City and Vicinity—
Partly cloudy tonight and unsettled
Saturday.
"State Forecast—Increased cloudi-
ness tonight and unsettled Saturday." j
The above are the predictions of the ... ., . . .

weather bureau given on Friday morn-
ing. It does not give much satisfac-
tion, however. What we want is a
good rain, and not bo many guesses.
Looked over east this forenoon as
if they were getting a shower. Hope
they were. We rejoice with those who
rejoice, and weep with those who
weep.
Maybe we will get it in a day or
two; that the wind will blow up a rain.

abrogated at will; if it can be
ignored now, it should be repealed as
of no force or effect."
President Wilson seems to be lean-
ing towards the side of the men; fav-
oring a settlement without arbitration.
He favors the eight-hour law, and a
commission to adjust other differ-
ences, if possible.
President Wilson is in conference
with Presidents of the railroads to-
day, endeavoring to get them to come
to his way of thinking. It is believed
he will be unable to do so, and then
the strike will be on unless the men
agree to arbitration.

Make Alofman Hard to Format
Writing Civic Talk is easy when you
have something to say, and we have
so many nice things, tc say that it
is easy, to write Civic Talk.
We are afraid that when our friends
come home from Coo! Colorado they
will treat us coolly. We are begin-
ning to shiver now. Pike's Peak
Pointers are penetrating, and the
chill in the bones of all who go there
is likely to last sometime. But Nor-
man has a way of melting snowballs
that will soon evaporate all frigid feel,
ings.
Have you thought how nice it would
look to have the top globe on the four
new cluster lights on Main street,
near the center of civilization, which
is near the Transcript office, located
in The Citizens Park, which is near
Edwards Park, larger and of a dif-
ferent kind of glass ? This is the sug-
gestion made by Mr. D. L. Larsh and
his suggestion will be carried out by
Mr. Larsh himself, with the hearty
approval of The Civic Committee.
We are thankful to our friends for
helpful suggestions in our park ar-
rangement!.
How do you like the vases in the
center of the street instead of barrels ?
Turn around the vases just as you
would the barrels and all will be well.
We are more than pleased with the
respect given to The Parks by the
Citizens of Norman. These parks be-
long to everybody and everybody is
caring for them in a way that is
pleasing to
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.

! WM. NEWLAND, 12, KILLED.
j Many Norman friends of Mr. and
I Mrs. Wm. Newland regret to hear of
] the death of their son, William, 12
| years of age, which occurred yester-
j day in Oklahoma City. The Newland
family formerly resided here, Mr,
Newland being connected with the
Interurban, and the deceased waB a
clever, bright little chap, popular with
all. This morning's Oklahoman gives
the following account of the sad af-
fair:
"That William Newland, 12 years
old, who was killed by the accidental
discharge of a revolver in a barn at
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Newland, Fifty-first street
and Classen boulevard, Thursday af
ternoon, had fallen from a ladder, the
pistol exploding, is the opinion of
Charles B. Selby, assistant county at-
torney, who went to the scene.
"The body was found at the foot of
the ladder. No inquest was held, it
being apparent that death was acci-
dental.
"The boy's mother heard a shot and
going to the barn found her son's
clothing on fire. Neighbors assisted
her in putting out the flame. The child
died half an hour after being wounded.
"It is said that the revolver with
which the boy had been playing was
an old one. There were only two loads
in it.
"Funeral arrangements have not
been announced."
—W. H, Johnson has gone to the
Texas Panhandle to look after his in-
terests there.
—There is still two to three months
wear in one of those $1.00 straw hats
at McCall's.
—Every hat is easy worth two
three to four times what we ask. See
our window for tomorrow. Just one
dollar.—McCall's,

Lisbon, August 18.—Maj. Norman
Mattos, the Portuguese minister of
war, announced today that Portugal
soon will participate in the war, fight-
ing on the side of the entente allies.
The Portuguese congress voted to
join the entente allies in the war in
November, 1914. A Portuguese naval
commander captured thirty-six Ger-
man and Austrian vessels in the
Tagus river in February, 1916, and the
following March Germany declared
war on Portugal because of this ac-
tion.
The Portuguese troops were called
to the colors on March 16.
