REPORTED AT LODGE.
Castle at Oels Still Vacant, Princes
Coming Awaited.

BY the Associated Press.
OELS. Silesia, November 12.-At II
o'clock this morning Oels was pa
tiently awaiting the arrival of ex-
Crown Prince Frederick William, but
was still without advices as to when
he would join the former crown prin-
cess and their children.
This would seem to throw doubt
upon the Central News Dispatch re-
porting the arrival of Frederick Will
liam at Oels, which was filed from
berlin not later than 10 o'clock this
morning The distance from the
Dutch frontier, which the ex-crown
prince left by automobile about 4 am.
Saturday. is approximately 400 miles.
Oels seems curious rather than en-
thusiastic over Frederick Williams S
homecoming. and there Is no sign
of furry about the castle, which is
lightly stated and wholly without
guards or other. signs of monarchicaI
ceremony. The old castle itself Is

greater beauty than most of the more
modern castles, and. with it's pic
turesque hedges, will afford a strtk-

after his years of exile in foggy,
muddy Wierengen.
A later Central News message said
the ex-crown prince was staying at the
shooting lodge called Kleinellguth.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November ~.
Thirty Yale students have been ques-
toned by the dean about the presence
in their. rooms of grape juice. which
was unfermented when purchased. but
later was made potent by the addition
Of yeast.
An agent took orders on the campus
for the juice, which was delivered after
so long a time that many thought his
visit was a hoax. With the juice came
directions for adding the yeast. Many
followed the directions and found the
recipe worked all right.
The deans officers obtained a list of
the purchasers. In addition to other
questions the dean asked the purchas-
ers their views on drinking in general.
Dean Frederick s. Jones said today
that the question Of discipline would
be discussed later by a faculty and
student committee.
A recent faculty order threatened
expulsion Of students who were found
to have intoxicating liquor in their
