Athens, March 1g.-The city today
was the scene of deepest gloom and
mourning. Flags were half masted,
buildings draped in black and eoyern-

Constantine has always been popular
and respected. The Greeks have great
confidence in his ability and sagacity
and his succession to the throne gives
no uneasiness or dissatisfaction.

PIE HUNTERS
In HARD LUCK

Washington, March is.-The office
seekers cannot get next to the sit
uation in Washington. Hundreds
came here to get on the government
payroll but the red tape in the way
is making lean pocketbooks and empty
stomaehs.
The first few days after President
Wilson was inaugurated the office
seekers called on their senator's or
representatives to have them arrange
for visits to the White House. When
MIR. Wilson announced that no office.
seekers would be received except on
invitation the visitors turned to their
congressman for advice. The con
gressmen are at sea.
Late in the afternoon the offieeseek-
ers gather in the hotel lobbies. Most
OF them have booklets containing a
list OF government jobs and the sal
aries they pay. One Texas man had
marked off 800 positions. any one OF
which he would take. His congress
man looked over the list and told him
that every one Of them was under the
civil service.

or stay here an Arkansas congress

uents, it seems have come here to ser
me. I am afraid to go home, but 4
can not be much worse. 1t might b,
better. for there l would not have t

Men who came here to get places
that pay $4,000 a year are glad to bi
put on the elevators at the capitol a

Saloon men who furnish free luncl

PROPOSED
TO REFER IT
TO PEOPLE
Question Of AbOlishing Certain State
Schools Still Hangs in the Bal
ance---WOOdward Bill to
be introduced Again

Oklahoma City. March 19-One
product OF the special session is to be
a referendum vote on whether Ger
tain state educational institutions are
TO be abolished It was tacitly agreed
between house leaders and Gov Cruce
when the matter Of resubmitting ap-
preparations for the institutions was
under consideration, that if the au-
thority for making appropriations for
the normals and other schools was put
before the special session the attempts
to rush such bills through the regular
session would be abandoned and, in
addition, the leaders agreed to put
through the Woodard bill. referring
the question Of the schools existence
to vote OF the people.
The governor is not understood as
agreeing to approve appropriations
for all OF the normals. but would make
a general recommendation for educa-
ton appropriations 1t would still be
within his province to veto any Of the
bills he saw fit.
The Woodard bill, not reached on
the regular house calendar, viii be
Offered during the special session, its
provisions calling for abolishment of
all the district agricultural schools,
with the exception OF that at Good
Wen, Texas county, and abolishing
both Of the university @prep" schools
at Tonkawa and Claremore, and three
state normals to be named. It has
been frequently asserted that unless
the legislature made a reduction in
the number of institutions, there would
be initiated a bill equal in terms to
that of the late Akin measure, which
the people would adopt il they got a
vote on it.
The leaders have been trying to
agree on amendments to the Woodard
bill, which would offer the people two
general subjects. The first would be
for instance, Shall all the normal
schools be maintained?" The second
would embrace a provision separately
listing all OF the normals, SO the
elector could vote for the ones he de
sired to continue. If the vote on the
question Of continuing all the schools
should receive an affirmative major
ity. then it would make no difference
what the vote was on the individual
.schcls, for in the affirmative vote the
people would consent to abolishing NO
normal If the negative side OF the
first proposition should receive the
majority, then three state normals OF
the individual list receiving the small
est number of votes would be closed
an abandoned.
The same rule is contemplated on
the university preparatory schols al
Tonkawa and claremore, the five dis
trict agricultural schools and the
schol Of mines.

SHOW CITY RECORDS
IN EJECTMENT SUIT
Council Minutes for Score of
Years In Evidence in Action
Against P. r. r.

Minutes of the proceedings of the
Common Council for more than a
score of years after 1881 were intro
duced as evidence bearing on the
opening of East Mechanic street and
other property in disute in the
ejectment suit of the mayor and
Common Council of Newark against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Comany
in the Supreme Court Circuit today
Piles of record books and maps were
spread out over the desks, ready to be
used as evidence by the plaintiff in
the fight against the railroad.
The first tilt between counsel since
the opening of the trial two days ago
came today, when James Vredenburgh
and Alfred C. Wall, the company at
torneys, sought to have City Attorney
Hilbert Boggs introduce q map show
ing the vacation of part of East Me-
chanic street by an ordinance passed
in 1866. Mr.. Boggs had read into the
record of the ordinance, but he re-
fused to produce any map. Mr.. Wall,
after a little parley, got up and again
asked that the map be produced, re-
Questing at the same time that the
city be fair"
Mr.. Boggs declared he would not
ut In the map because 1t was not made
at the time the ordinance was passed.
He offered, however, to give the map
to the defense and allow them to offer
it as evidence should they decid to
do so.
The ordinance vacating part of
East Mechanic street was passed in
1866, when a petition from the New
Jersey r. r. and Transportation
Company, asking permission to use
part of the street to extend their
Market street depot and freight sta
ton, was received by the council.
Longer trains made 1t necessary that
the station be heightened to prevent
the rear cars stopping on the cross
ing at Market street, blocking traffic,
the company averred in the petition,
which was also offered in evidence.
The city claims that only part of
East Mechanic street, near Alling
street was vacated by the ordinance,
and not that part of the street now
occupied by the embankment.
Martin G. Bross, jr., assistant city
clerk read from the common coun-
ellis journals the resolutions dedica-
ting East Mechanic street from
Ferry to Alling streets and awarding
damages to the owners of property
taken for the street.
The jury accompanied by Judge
DUNCAN, City Attorney Boggs and
Messrs Vredenburgh and Wall visi-
ted the land in dispute yesterday af-
ternoon. The tracts claimed, cover
ing more than half an acre, were
traversed by the party and the situa-
lions explained. =
The city rested its case at noon.
