LONDON, Oct. 15.-Outpos, fighting
continues today at Tripoli. A rush by q
thousand Turks on the Boumeliana out
posts was not repulsed for nearly an
hour. Although the Turks tried to rush
the outposts in the face of a heavy ma

there have been several clashes with

Senator Bryan of Florida came to
Washington Sunday with his colleague.
Senator Fletcher. Senator Bryan made
an explanation to The Times that SEN
ator Fletcher never opposed the pub
lication Of the Wright report. but
rather was anxious for 1t, because OF
his full confidence in Mr.. Wright The
proofs Of the document were sent to
Senator Fletcher. and on his trip to
Washington he brought them back with
him.
George H. Carter. clerk Of the Senate
Printing Committee, bore out this state

TO submit them to Senator Fletcher. and
they were accordingly sent to him. He
conferred with Engineer Wright ana
former Governor Jennings, and they
went over the matter in detail before
Senator Fletcher brought the proofs
back to Washington on Sunday last.
That Senator Fletcher ever changed
front on the matter; that he at one time
opposed and afterward desired publica-
tion OF the Wright document, both Ben
denied.

which the State gave up the effort to do
the drainage. and turned 1t over to a

But the big, substantial victory was

/ He says the site consists of fifty
two acres, with $4,000 in improve

It seems that the institution has
not Jared as those connected with
it most devoutly wished. The trou-
bic seems in part to have been
brought about by virtue of the fact
that two churches, instead of one,
felt the responsibility for Epworth's
career and the situation is likened
by friends of the institution TO the
axiom which says what is every
body's business is nobodys business"
Chancellor George II. Bradford OF
Epworth was in Guthrie Monday ev-
ening He attended a meeting of the
commercial club and is understood
to have agreed tentatively to the re-
moving Epworth university to Guth-
rie on the conditions that Guthrie
donate convention hall and endow
the university with 100000 It is
stated on good authority that Guth.
rie is seriously considering the prop
osition. Convention hall at Guthrie
was built by taxation, and it is
very probable the question of giving
it to Epworth, with the ten-acre
tract of land surrounding, will be
submitted to the voters. In the
meantime the commercial club of
Guthrie is bestirring itself in the
matter of raising the 100000 en-
dowment fund.
Some of the friends of the insti-
tuition in Oklahoma City, who be-
lieved from the beginning that Ep-
worth university was good asset
for the city, are of the opinion that
a majority of the citizens here do not
look upon the location of colleges
as a financial investment. Mr.. Wi
koh thinks colleges are a good as
set. He says they pay both directly
and indirectly, and in addition to
the financial side, give a whole
some tone to any city in which they
are located.
Bishop William A. Quayle of the
Methodist Episcopal church, North
was asked for an interview Tues
day relative to the proposed removal
but he declined to make state
ment, volunteering the suggestion
however. that Chancellor Bradford
would be the proper person to give
out an interview. Chancellor Brad
ford is in Kansas on a lecture tour
and will not return before Thurs
day.
1t is not altogether improbable thai
when Oklahoma City fully realizes
Epworth University is going to 10

makes the best bid, an effort viii
be made to retain the university
but if the college is kept here Okla
homa City will have to make an
offer as attractive as any other city
makes.

is upward of 200, and these spend on
an average of $500 each a year
