to Balance Equipment at Col
lege; Administration
Hall Crowded.

The eighth Oklahoma legislature
which convenes in Oklahoma City
early in January, will be asked for
an appropriation Of $4,000 for the
construction Of a fine arts building
at the Oklahoma College for Women,
according to G. w. Austin.
Two hundred wouldbe students
have been refused admittance into
the college this year because of
room congestion in Nellie Sparks
hall, college dormitory and admin
istration building, where the fine
arts department occupies considera-
BILE room
THE construction Of a building
for the fine arts department would
relieve this room and would enable
us to accept all applications for en-
trance into the college. We have
the support of the Chickasha busi-
ness men, and it being very appar-
ent that the building is needed /
don't think we will meet with any
or very little opposition in securing
the appropriation" Mr.. Austin says.
If the state law makers grant the
appropriation to be asked for, the
edifice win be constructed on the
space between the dormitory and
administration building, No plans
have yet been made on the proposed
building.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE turning
Of events in Germany within the past
g hours has moved with dramatic
swiftness. Following on the heels of
Bavaria's declaration Of a republic and
the revolutionary uprisings among
workmen and soldiers at Kiel, Ham
burg and other important centers, the
announcement Of the kaiser's abdica-
ton Of the throne reached here from
official sources late Saturday after
noon. Accompanying this came word
Of the imperial crown princes re-
nunciation Of his rights Of succession.
The Duke Of Brunswick, also, who is
son-in-law Of the kaiser, renounced
his dukedom. Later the official retire
ment Of King Lundwig III Of Bavaria
was announced, thus bringing close
to the Wittelsbach dynasty at Munich,
In which Ludwig succeeded his cousin
Otto. once famously known as Ba-
.varia's mad king. A considerable
number Of lesser crowns appear also
30 have been teppling, Wilhelm II the
reigning king Of Wurttemburg having
been among those to see the light; ;
and q report is current that King
Frederick August Of Saxony has re-
luctantly withdrawn. from the cares
and perquisites Of monarchial life.
Withdrawal Of the Emperor.
London dispatches assert that En-
peror William signed letter Of abdi-
cation Saturday morning in the pres
ence Of the crown prince and Field
Marshal Hindenburg. The crown
princess remuneration followed soon
afterward. The news Of the kaiser's
abdication was received with general
approval in Germany, tempered by the
fear that It had come too late to pre-
serve order for the distressed country.
The emperor is said to have received
q note from y Philip Scheidemann,
socialist leader, and then signed his
abdication with shiver, saying, ut
may be for the good Of Germany"
Fled to Holland.
A later report received here states
that the kaiser arrived Sunday morn
ing at Maestrecht, Holland, and was
proceeding to Middachten castle In the
town Of Desteeg, near Utrecht This
information was received by the
American army general staff.
Armistiee Report Delayed.
Meantime the German courier en-
trusted with the task Of returning to
Spa with armistice conditions from
behind the allied lines was having
most serious difficulty because Of the
German barrage fire at the point
where he essayed to enter within the
German lines. A Sunday dispatch

who lived in OvercroWded, insanitary
quarters, and who might not be prop

Of them were not employed at the
stcckyards and that many of these
cases might be accounted for by the
fact that the husband was either dead
or had abandoned his family. Bad
personal habits, lack of thrift and poor
management Of household affairs by
either the husband or wife or both
were mentioned as other causes which
led to poverty and suffering by pack
ing house employees.
The witness did not discuss wages,
saying that he had no information on
hat subject. j.
'~ Cost Of Living mot an Issue
He said he did not know whether
the big packers ever considered the
cost of living when fixing wage scales.
The witness said the question of the
amount Of wages employees should re-
ceive was always open to discussion.
The witness explained in detail the
work done by the welfare and relief
department of Armour & Co. A. lnedi-
cal department with five staff SUR
geons and three nurses, a consulting
surgeon and a pathologist were EN-.
ployed in connection with the opera

Mr. Ellerd said the object was to
furnish free medical attention to all
employees unable to pay for treatment.
Attorney Frank p. Walsh for the
employees vigorously attacked the
statements Of the witness on cross ex-
rn'natiOn and sought to show that the
charity work done by the packers was
relatively unimportant.
Public Charities
Attorney walsh read statement
showing there were Is public charity
agencies in the stockyards district,
which last year furnished relief to
$4,000 families. He said at the Free
tuberculosis dispensary there are at
present 2,3O9 cases of consumption
either now under treatment or under
observation, and that the principal
predisposing causes of the disease in
the district as given by the attending
physicians are bad living conditions,
improper food, bad conditions of en-
ployment and lack of proper rest and
recreation.

if the stockyards firms paid their men
