Mayor Nicodemus, having been un- successful in his efforts to force the distributing company at Drumright to supply an adequate amount of gas, yesterday issued a proclamation de- claring an emergency. Helpers were enlisted, and, led by the mayor, they went to the outskirts of the city, tapped the high pressure pipe line of the Oklahoma Natural Gas Com- pany, which sends millions of feet of gas through Iits lines to distant points.

Widespread Jewish pggroms in Po- land also are feared-as a result, be- cause of the aglitation of the con- servatives in that country, who are loudly proclaiming that the Jews are responsible for Narutowicz's election. The assassination marks the cul- mination of a wildly demagogic cam- paign unleashed by the conservatives following the defeat of their candi- date, Count Zamoiski, Polish ambas- sador to Krance, in the late presi- dential contest. Narutowicz was elected by the votes of the parties of the left, with the assigjance of the votes of the so-called national min- oritles, who also now control the balance of power in the Polish parlia- ment.

The situation caused by the eleva- tion of Narutowlcz to the presidency was similar to that which has pre- valled in Germany, where the extreme conservatives, being unable to domi- nate the country through the polls, have resorted to murder as a political ‘weapon In connection with the fears that lcivil wir may break out now T8 CAUGHT IN RAID ATL STREET CAFE Police Descend Upon Bohe- mian Restaurant, Seize Evidence for Dry Charge. 1CROWD l IN NEAR-PANIC Proprietor Released Under $1,000 Bond—Guests Listed as Witnesses.

The sec- tion itself was not reached by the House, but it is said that a vote on the merits of the proposal is assured. It will not be subject to a point of or- reau, fs not adequate to meet the urgent need for school buildings. street paving, sewer and water main extensions. Commissioner Rudolph Tecelved word yesterday afternoon that the hearings on the local appropriation bill would start at 10::30 tomorrow morning. It is probable that only the three Commissioners, Budget Officer Donovan and Secretary Daniel E. Garges will go to the Capitol the first day. According to reliable reports, the city heads believe that the estimates of more than $30,000,000 compiled at the District building included only urgent needs that should be provided for. Present Needs Stated. Briefly, these ne.ds are: Construc- tion of school buildings, purchase of land for schools that will have to be built in the near future, street paving work all over ihe District, laying of necessary water mains, extension of sewers to supply new houses and for better street lighting.
