Officials Visit Fort Cobb and In
spect Roads Covered With
Crushed Granite; Impress
sion Favorable.
FIGURE ADVISABILITY
USE ON ROAD TO O.C.W.
Meeting Scheduled for Today to
Figure Costs Before Making
Final Report and Recon-
mendations.

City officials and citizens are busy
in an effort to find some brand of
road or street-building material that
may be used in building the Seven
teenth stree paving and doing it at
a cost thai will come within the
bounds of the estimate figured. To
this end a committee composed Of
S. G. Durbin, mayor; e. G. Reynolds,
cit. clek; J. d. Carmichael, repre-
sentmg the property owners; T. j.
Brown of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Councilmen Henry OPPOSE and
T. S. Hendrick, visited Ft Cobb yes
terday and inspected two stretches
of road.
According to statements made this
morning. the members of the commit
tee were favorably impressed with
what they found They state that
the roads inspected are made Of
crushed granite and despite the fact
that they have been in use more
than two years with very little main
tenance work done on them, they are
in good condition
Figure on Proposition.
A meeting is scheduled to be held
today at which time the proposition
will be investigated and an effort
will be made to get an accurate esti-
mate Of the cost of making a hard
surface road on Seventeenth street
of this class of material. 1t is point
ed out that the cost OF getting the
crushed granite to Chickasha will be
one of the big items of expense and
figures will be submitted this alter
noon to throw some light on this
proposition, it is expected.
Nothing has been done and we
really have nothing to report" said
Mayer Durbin this morning. I'VE
saw two stretches of road covered
with crushed granite One was over
sand and the other over a sort Of
gumbo. Beth seemed so be holding
up well. AS to whether this is the
class of material that should and will
be used on the proposed street to the
college, fe cannot say. We fill in
vestigate carefully the cost Of put
ting down such road before making
a definite report"
Favorably Impressed.
1--WE fere favorably impressed with
what we saw said ]. D. Carmich-
ael this morning. 1--WE cannot say
alta this time of course whether this
is the proper material to use on the
proposed street 1t is possible that
the crushed granite is the solution
to the problem. The roads we in
spected showed that such surface
will stand considerable traffic. These
stretches had been down more than
two years and were in good condi-
tion.
"A netting is scheduled for some
time today at which session it is pro-
posed that we figure costs. One Of
the big items is the transportation
from the quarries near Granite to
Chickasha. An estimate viii be made
Of this and ii is possible that some
solution may be worked out whereby
we can report favorably the use of
this crushed granite on the Seven
teenth street boulevard"
T. J. Brwn of the Chamber of Com
merce, was Of the opinion that a
street properly covered with this ma
tcrial would stand the wear and tear.

MAKES GERMANY
ENORMOUS JAIL
Chancellor DenounCeS Peace
Document as Dreadful and
MurderouS."
REMARKS ARE CHEERED
Philip Scheidemann Charges Decep-
ton on the Part of President VIII
son and His Abrogation of His
Promised Fourteen Points.

Berlin, May 15.-The German chan
cellor, Philip Scheidemann, has fol-
lowed the lead taken by President
Ebert.
In a statement to the national as
sembly, couched in language more
forcible than that of Ebert, Scheide-
pann asserted that the peace terms
are not acceptable to Germany.
Cheering from all the factions in the
chamber, excepting from the benches
of the Independent Socialists, greeted
the chancellor as he characterized the
treaty as a dreadful and murderous"
document which would make an enor-
nous Jail of Germany in which Co.,
100000 peoples would have to labor
for the victors in the war. The speaker
charged deception on the part of Presi-
dent Wilson and the abrogation of his
promised IA points.
1t is reported that Scheidemann has
been informed by the leaders of the
two democratic parties and of the
parties of the Center that these fac
tions will withdraw their representa-
tiyes from the government If the peace
treaty is signed.
Meantime the German plenipoten.
tiaries at Versailles are continuing
their work of assimilating the terms
of the treaty and formulating such
protests as they desire to make, while
others of the delegation are in Berlin,
discussing prospects with the govern.
ment. Still another German note
the fifth-is to be delivered at the
French foreign Office.
Hungarians Are Encouraged.
Vienna, May 14.-Reports from
Budapest say that the condition of the
Hungarian Communist government ap-
pears to have grown stronger in the

more than they were able to accom-.
plish if their intention was to reach
Budapest. Official announcement has
been made that the Allied troops NOV
ing on Budapest were ordered last
week to halt their advance by the
Peace Conference.

of that nation by the end of the week
was expressed today. 1t develops that
the Allied Powers to be represented

relations with Austria Hungary.

The council considered problems rel
ative to ports and waterways and some
details of the Austrian treaty.
The supreme economic council to
day considered economic measures
that may be taken against Germany
in case her delegates refuse to sigr
the peace .-aaty. The project which
has been prepared, having in view the
rees;ablishment of strict blockade
will be handed over to the council o
four Tor eventual application.
The economic council has decided Il
maintain a strict blockade of Hungary
