s. Calais Announces Plans
for Modern Tcn-Story
Structure.
FIFTH AND BOSTON
TO BE THE CORNER
Playhouse Will Have More
Than 1000 Seats; 300
Hotel Rooms.

WITi the finishing touches just
w being added to the Calais
building, Fourth ana Boston. Tulsa S
latest and moiern fircproof skyscrap-
er. the owner. S. Calais. announced
his intention yesterday of erecting a
much larger structure at the corner
Of Fifth and Boston. TO be used for
an up date hotel and modern the
atcr Plans are already being ore-
pared for the new building.
The site at Fifth and Boston will
pcrmit the construction OF "A building
with 80 foot Irontagc and 1i0 feet
long. The new skvsC,aper will occupy
the entire pat and viii be ten stories
in height The approximate cost of
construction will be mere than 5000,
900. which represents twice the
amount paid for the building just
completed.
Preparing Plans.
Plack & Son of ST. Louis. who exc
cuted the contract for the new Calais
office building, are now preparing
plans for the great lotel and theateI
building. II is said the big structure
will be constructed along the lines OF
the well konwn American hotel and
theater at st. Louis.
"yes. I am planning a greater and
larger building than the one now
nearly finished" said Mr.. Calais to
The World yesterday. THE big strnc-
ture will be used for hotel and the
ater 1t will be much larger than
my new building ard will represent
the last wo-i in architecture.
"The site at Fifth and Boston is
ideal for a building for both purposes.
There will be more than three hun
drcd rooms in the hotel and all mod
crn conveniences will be provided.
The theater will have a seating capac-
itv of more than one thousand and
will b. equipped with plenty OF dress
ING rooms and 4 metropolitan stage.
~ believe that there will be n great
reduction in the cost of materials
within a short time and ground for
tho new building Will roblbly not
hc broken till late IN the year and
probably not before the first of next.
The senior ricmber Of the contract
ing firm of Rlack & Son is now pre-
pairing the preliminary sketches for
the new structure. We will visit sew
cral of the largest cities in the coun-
try and con- bine the good points of
their hotels and thoaters in mine"
Moving In.
Offices on 'he second floor Of the
new Calais building at Fourth and
Boston were opened Yesterday by sew
cral attorneys and today the manager
Of the building will move into his
several large office rooms on the
same floor.
Workmen are rapidly finishing the
interior wor,. and Mr.. Calais said
Yesterday that every office in the
great building woul1 be occupied by
October 10. Just one year from the
time ground was broken for the cree
ton of the great building.

Concede in Note that Assur-
ances Given U. s. Were
Not Adhered to.
SAYS THE COMMANDER
HAS BEEN PUNISHED
Government Expresses Re-
gret and Declares Will
lingness to Indemnify.

WAsHINGTON. May 1o.--Ger-
w many. in a note received by the
state department today by cable from
Amba bassador Gerard, admits that a
German submarine torpedoed the
channel steamer Sussex in violation
OF assurances given the United states,
expresses regret for the incident. an
nounccs that the submarine COM
mander has been appropriately pun
ished" and declares readiness to pay
adequate indemnify to Americans in
jured on the vessel
1t was indicated at the state depart
ment tnat the German statement that
the offending commander had been
punished would be accepted, and the
Sussex case considered closed, except
for payment of indemnities of the
several citizens Of the United States
who were hurt. There probably will
be no attempt TO negotiate for these
indemnlties or for final settleemnt OF
the Lusitania and other cases pend
ing, however, until sufficient time has
elapsed to indicate how the last
American note was received in Berlin
and whether the new submarine pol
icy is being lived up to.
Not Lived Up To.
Officials Of the state department
noted particularly the passage of the
note which said in view of these cir
cumstances the German government
frankly admits that the assurace
given the American government that
passenger vessels were not to be at
tackled without warning, has not been
adhered to in the present case" This
was regarded as indicating purpose
on Germany's part to decline to pay
indemnities for Americans killed or
injured in attacks on ships other than
passenger liners prior to the date of
the last note in which the German
government promised that freight. as
well as passenger vessels, would not
be attacked without warning or with
out provision for the safety of per-
sons aboard. Any response to the note
received today probably will make
distinct reservation of the American
rights on this point.

Astounding Figures Given
Out at Close of the
Period.
HARD WORK DID 1T
Republican Headquarters
Well Satisfied With the
Results.

IN spite of an unusual law the regis
trat'on in Tulsa proved success
largely due to the efforts of the Re-
publicans who worked diligently dur
ing the past ten days. Mere than
seven thousand voters were instructed
how 70 find a registrar and then
asked to 20 and find him. Chairman
A. A. Small of the Republican county
central committee Announced from
headquarters in the Robinson arcade
at 80 O'Clock last night that approx
imately $500 certificates of registra-
ton had beer issued in Tulsa. This
is a remarkable record.
Figures at that hour were incom-
plete as no reports hao been received
from precincts g. 6. . and q and the
registrars were instructed to continue
their work Until midnight. Compl ate
figures will probably not be availa bic
until late today. II was impossible to
figure out the party registration in any
precinct last night,
At $3.50 O'Clock last night the fol-
lowing figures were given out at Re-
publican headquarters: Precinct 1,
266' 2. 2I5; 3. no report; 4. 440: s.
1863: ). no report; 400: s, 245; 3,

Was success.
THE registration was a success. but
it did not come about of its own ac-
cord" said Chairman Small last night.
Nearly third Of the entire number
of registration slips were issued yes
terday after Republicans had made a
thorough canvas of every house in the
city and urged the Voters tc register
regardless Of their politics.
"Republican headquarters have been
busy throughout the past ten days and
squads of personal workers have
been actively engaged in telling vot-
ers what the cons sIucnces would be
IL they failed TO register.
Reports from the small towns and
rural districts are encouraging and a
record registration was the rule
throughout the county.
II don't believe more than five
hundred women registered to vote in
the school board election"
Voters who were out of the county
during the time Of registration can
register within the next month by
making affidavit to their registrars.
