Women Of Lincoln
Elect Mayor Miller;
Beat Sunday Theaters

Lincoln, May l3.-(Special.)- The
official vote of the recent election in
Lincoln shows that had the men
been the only voters former Mayor
Frank Zehrung would have been
elected mayor of the city instead Of
Mayor Miller. The Sunday theater
proposition also would have carried
by vote Of 2,7O6 to 2.62S, but the
women did the work and the prop
osition lost, 1886 to 6,152.
1t is shown by the vote that 2,755
men voted for Zehrung and 1887
women did the same thing, while for
Miller only 1868 men registered
their votes for him as against 1888
women. As Zehrung received but PIG
votes more than Mayor Miller, it is
shown that but for the women Lin
coins popular theater manager
might have been elected.
When it comes to the Sunday
theaters. 2.706 men voted for and
LOO women did the same. Against
the proposition there were 2,628 men
and 1884 women.
On the proposition of voting
bonds for city hospital the men
were more in favor than the women,
as 400 men cast their votes for,
while 1904 women favored it.

exhausted and unnervcd, but an
army that had done its duty for four
years and a half, permeated by the
true German spirit, could never be
persuaded to break their oaths and
to desert their king.
AT this moment his excellency
Won Hintze appeared. He reported
he had again heard from the chan
cellor, who had said the situation in
Berlin was extremely critical. He
was compelled to resign, and il the
kaiser would not resign immediate
ly the monarchy would be doomed
beyond redemption.
THE kaiser told Won Hintze he
should telephone to Berlin that he,
the kaiser, was ready to abdicate, if
by his abdication he should avoid
the shedding Of German blood, but
he still would be king of Prussia and
wished to lead his army back home.
He would never leave his army, he
emphasized.
Orders Abdication Drawn.
II demanded momentous deci-
sion of this kind should be taken
down in writing ere it should be tele-
phoned to the chancellor at Berlin.
The kaiser should see and sign the
message before it was to be tele-
phoned. Thereupon the kaiser or
dered Won Hintze, Generals Plessen,
Marschall and myself to draw up his
formal abdication.
while we were at this, Excel
lency Won Wahnschaffe, bureau
chief at the chancellor's office, called
up on the telephone. I personally
answered the call. He said he must
have the abdication within a few
minutes. / replied so momentous
decision would have to be written
out in proper form. The kaiser had
formed a decision, l said, but it
would take some time to formulate
it properly. The government would
have to wait little while. In about
half an hour, after the decision was
put down in black and white, it
would be telephoned to Berlin. The
abdication, as written by US fol-
lows:
81. His majesty is ready
to abdicate as German emperor,
if by doing so he may avoid
bloodshed.
"'2. His majesty wants to
avoid civil war.
"'3. His majesty continues to
be king of Prussian and will
lead his army in organized units
back home
"This abdication was signed by
his majesty. and at 1880 o'clock it
was telephoned to the chancellor's
office at Berlin by Won Hintze. At
8:19 in the evening the kaiser was
informed of the announcement made
public by Prince Max through
VOLTS Telegraph Bureau (the Of
fetal German news agency in which
it was said the kaiser had abdicated
as kaiser as we'll as king. His majes-
ty solemnly took notice of this re-
port. His demeanor at this critical
moment was full of royal dignity.
He asked me what I thought of it.
Still Prussian King.
at is a coup d'etat, an act of
violence to which your majesty must
not submit l replied. Your majes-
ty is still king of Prussia. Now
there is more necessity than ever for
you to stay with, the army as its
chief war lord. I guarantee the
army will loyalty stick to your
majesty"
