of one hundred feet. 1t rests upon four
massive brick piers solidly built upon
reinforced concrete footings. These
piers are now forty-one feet high.
They will be carried up to height of
fifty-twO before the main arches, hav-
ing a radius of thirty and half feet,
span the distance between them. Each
arch will be twelve and a half feet
thick and upon them will rest the
weight of the dome. The arches spring
from the corner pillars gradually far

through which the change from square
below to round above is effected. The

above the roof will be of granite and
it's parapet will be one hundred and
fifty-six feet above the floor. On it
will rest the bell-shaped coppered roof
the topmost point of which, including
the cross, will be three hundred feet
above the floor.
Around the edges of the dome and
resting on the parapet will be eight
tourelles each thirty-five feet high with
a balustrade between them, ornament
ed with thirty-two little granite vases.
Each tourelle will be of granite with
arched openings in it's four sides and
ornamented with garlands and carving.
The bell-shaped top will also be of
granite. In the drum of the dome there
will be twenty-four windows in groups
of threes between the eight piers from
which the tourelles spring. At the
base of the dome provision is made
for circular passage running COM
pletely around it between the outer
and the inner walls, and in the piers
there will be space for winding stair

the dome will be one hundred and
eighty-three feet above the floor.
The direct approach to the main en-
frances of the Cathedral will be by
twenty-nine granite steps beginning at
a point forty feet from the front of the
building and rising to the first floor

WOULD FORCE
BANK ASSESSMENT
Oklahoma Bank May Sue to Get Cash
on Guaranty Certificates.

Oklahoma City, April 24.-The Will
kin-Hale State bank of Oklahoma City
probably will seek a mandamus writ
to require the state banking board to
levy special assessment for the state
guaranty fund to retire banking board
certificates to the amount of $250,0O0.
In absence of cash TO the credit of the
guaranty fund, the law authorizes the
banking board to issue certificates, or
interest bearing warrants. payment of
which is pl dyed by the guaranty fund
to be retired as rapidly as money
comes to tie fund The Wilkin-Hale
bank holds about 100000 Of the out
standing issued.
Assuming that the law, in saying
that the guaranty fund shall not be
impaired, means that special assess
ments, if necessary, shall be made to
take up the outstanding certificates,
the bank called on the banking board
to do so. The board today decided not
to make the call, insisting that the
matter of making special assessments
had been within the boards deere
ton in the past and will be so in the
future. A regular assessment Of one
fifth Of per cent was made by the
board recently. bringing about $4,000
to the fund. A special assessment OF
one-half Of / per cent would it is figur-
ed, more than be sufficient to retire
the certificates.

Program.
OFFICERS LOSE EASY joBs
Twenty-Five Of Thsr1 Are Detached
from Their Soft PIsoss In the
War Department..

"Pried loose" was the cry about the
war department the other day when 1t
became known that twentystwo Off
GERS had been ordered detached from
as mauy comfortable berths at the de-
partment and into field service after
four or more years of Washington
life.
The officers detached range in rank
from brigadier-general to captain.
Some Of them have been serving in
Washington for more than six years
and most OF them had begun to feel
secure against disturbance in their po-
sitions for as many more. Consequent
" the order OF Maj.-Gen. Leonard
Wood of the general star, came as q
great surprise to most OF the officers
concerned. 1t was no surprise to those
attached to the general staff as the
law requires that they shall not serve
on that corps more than four years
consecutiyely.
The explanation is that General
Wood has come to the conclusion that
officers are liable TO become stale on
their jobs after few years of chair
work." and that 1t will be for the best
interests OF the service that they be
sent out to do some soldering.

WH|RLW|ND MINIS
FROM HYATT

Whirlwind Bridgeman won the de-
=eision over Young Hyatt in the sew
enth round of their ten round bout
last night, and proved himself to be
one OF the gamest fighters ever seen
in Vinita. In the first three rounds
, he was knocked to the floor five times,
once taking the count of seven, but
each time he proved game and came
back fighting for all he was worth.
In the second round an interruption
occurred which gave Whirlwind a
chance to recover, one of the ring
side spectators became overcome at
the sight of Bridgeman, who was COW
cred with blood, pitched forward into
the ring and the fight was stopped long
enough to remove him, thus allowing
Bridgeman to partly recover from his
dazed condition.
In the next round he came back
a stronger and put up a good fight but
q Hyatt was the better man of this one
q as of the previous rounds and no one
thought Bridgeman could stay more
than another round, but Whirlwind
came back in the fourth and kept his
opponent in the ropes most Of the
time.
In the fifth both men came from
their corners weak from loss of blood
and both in a dazed condition. Hyatt
took the aggressive but Bridgemar
soon had him in the ropes, hitting hin
at will but unable to land a knockout
blow. Bridgeman also won the sixth
round and the fight stood even. Three
rounds for Hyatt and three for the
Whirlwind.
In the seventh Hyatt was weak ant
at once began to cover up and takt
the defensive but again he was driver
5 to the ropes and was soon at Bridge
mans mercy and it was thought b,
the referee that Hyatt was out Of th'
fight SO he gave Whirlwind the de
cision and stopped the fight.

OIL REFINERY
IS BURNED

Lightning struck one Of the large
tanIs at the oil refinery two miles
west of town early this morning and
quickly spread to another tank. A
large force of men have been at work
all day trying to save the other tanks
of crude oil and the gasoline. AT the
time of going to press the fire was still
burning and the company is still fight
ing. It may be necessary to dynamite
the burning tanks In order to prevent
the spread of the fire. The oil retin-
cry including tanks and Office is well
insured.

To open a sealed Jar.

A safe and sure way to open seal
ed glass jar which defes all efforts
to release the contents without break
ing the receptacle. Is to place the jar
in a deep saucepan Of cold water;
bring it gradually to boil; but be-
fore this stage is reached 1t will usu-
ally be found that the jar can be
opened with the usual means and eff
fort--that is, by a reverse twist on
the metal top, using damp cloth or
piece of sand paper, If at hand, to
prevent the hand from slipping. Then
insert a thin knife blade ulAder the
rubber, next the jar, and press against
1t firmly. This will usually let in
enough air to release the pressure on
the top and unseal the jar.

A dogs life was sacrificed at the

After more >than thirty years OF
work. during the entire period with
standing the bitter attacks Of the anti
vivisectionists, Dr. F. Merrill Ricketts,,
of Cincinnati, and the other pioneers
in the field, have perfected a system OF
administering anesthetics that makes
heart surgery possible.
DR.. Ricketts,, who gave the DEM

association, made his first experiment

..Yes, but it was regarded as pro- posal Of pettiness which would nave branded the organization as primitive and reactionary. Such action would tend to preclude individual judgment It IS un- democratic and adverse to the broadness of mind which is the dominant tone Of the suffrage cause, and so the association wisely decided against it. This action was really aimed at Miss Jane Addams because of her nominating speech Tor Colonel Roosevelt during the progressive convention. Miss Addams, by the way, said a very clever thing; relterating the fact that she never allows her suffrage work to suffer. I speak frequently for suffrage, said Miss Addams, when not speaking for the progressive party, Dut l never speak for the progressive party without speaking for suffrage,

The audiences were enormous. and at the evening meetings, to which the men crowded and were most number of men in sympathy with the movement were heard, among them James Lee Laidlaw and Mayor Blankenburg Overflow meetings were held outside every night, for the han was al- ways packed and it was a regular occur renee for the president to ask some wom- an to go outside and address the crowd, and for the speaker, clad in evening gown, to stand in some waiting automobile to expound the suffrage doctrine.''
