BOOK EXHIBIT ATTRACTED
the University Library During
Last Week

| The new books exhibit held at the
university library Friday and Saturday
proved successful in every detail and
it was well attended by both students
and townspeople.
A program was arranged for Friday
evening and talks on subjects pertinent
to the exhibit were given by Professors
Hume and Lewis and by Rev. Watson.
The books exhibited were loaned by the
Scribner, Century, Putnam, and En-
porium publishing companies and they
were all found interesting, the chill
dren's books in particular making a
hit. The illustrations in most of the
books were noteworthy, having been
done by such well-known and popular
artists as Max Parrish, Du Lac, Peter
Newell, Kate Greenway and others.
The largest attendance at any one
time was about so but there were al
ways 10 or 20 interested onlookers
present during the entire two days.
The exhibit, the first of its kind ever
put on at the university, was in charge
of Miss Belle Sweet, head librarian,
and Misses Reed and Fawcett, her as
sistants.

DENY NEW PHONE SCHEDULE
Utilities Commission Turns Down Plan
of Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company

Boise Statesman: Three orders were
issued Monday by the public utilities
commission. Two of these related to
the complaint of the Marsh Mini
company against the Washington Wa
ter Power company. The other denies
the application Of the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph company to place in eff
feet a new schedule of rates between
all points in the counties of Latah,
Lewis, Nez Perce and Idaho. This ap-
pIication was filed November II. The
commission finds that the effect of the

First News was that He Suffering from Bron-
chial Trouble but Later Reports Indicate
German Emperor Taken Down

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-The kaiser has
pneumonia, it was learned today and
his illness is declared to be serious.
Tuesday it was announced that he wa'
suffering with bronchial catarrh and
that his illness was delaying his depar-
ture from Berlin for the fighting front.
It was not intimated in this initial
statement that there was any cause Tor
alarm but the tone of the announce
ment conveyed the impression that it
would be impossible for the kaiser to
return to the fighting front for
time. Early today it was stated that
the kaiser's condition was satisfactory.
When it became known later that he
was suffering from pneumonia, there
was much anxiety. His illness is at
tributed to exposure.
