STATE CAPITAL HAPPENINGS
ERA
ITALY EXPECTS BIG INCREASE IN
TERRITORY AS RESULT OF THE WAR
tilllllllMllllllllllll
Oklahoma City.—
Dr. LeRoy Long, a McAlester sur-
geon, was elected dean of the medical
Bchool of the Oklahoma University, lo-
cated at Oklahoma City, by the new
state board of education. Dr. Long
will succeed Dr. C. It. Day of Oklahoma
City, whose two-year term of service
will expire September 1, when the new
appointment becomes effective.
This was the most important of sev-
eral changes in the faculties of state
institutions made by the board at the
closing session. The position pays a
salary of $3,000 a year. Dr. Long la
one of the most widely Known sur-
geoLB in the state.
The board elected Nell Gardner of
Stigler superintendent of the state or-
phans' home at Pryor, to succeed for-
mer State Senator Uld Graham, who
recently sent in his resignation, ef-
fective August 1. C. A. Skeen of
Checotah was designated by the board
to become superintendent of the state
training school at Pauls Valley to suc-
ceed E. 13. Nelson, whose resignation
wan received. Skeen's appointment Is
effective September 1. Gardner will
take charge of the Pryor institution
August 1 as Mr. Graham requested
that his resignation be effective at that
time.
The superintendent of the training
school at Pauls Valley draws a salary
of $2,GOO yearly, and the head of the
Pryor home receives $2,000 a year.
Wants Bible Study.
A feature of the meeting was the
taking under adviBement by the board
of the proposal of Rev. W. S. Wylie
of Muskogee that the Bible be intro-
duced into the state schools. Action
on this will be taken later when the
proposition has been gone into more
thoroughly.
Rev. Wylie suggested that the plan
now in effect in Colorado and other
states be adopted by Oklahoma. Ac-
cording to this plan students who so
desire study the Bible instead of an-
cjent history. At the end of the year
they are given examinations, not by
any religious sect, but in regard to
facts that are undisputed. If they
pass they are given one credit, just
the same as if they had elected to
take ancient history.
The board authorized the purchase
of $1,000 worth of machinery and equip-
ment necessary to equip a shoe factory
at the training schol at Pauls Valley.

Capitol So Far Cost $300,000.
On June 7 bids for the construction
of the remaining portion of the Okla-
homa state capitol will be opened and
thi contract awarded to the lowest
bidder. Within a few weeks from that
time work on the uncompleted portion
of the million and a half dollar struct-
ure will be begun, only one contract
for the entire building being let.
Probably few Oklahoma people real-
ize the amount of the work which has
already been done. The comple-
tion of the frame work and forms of
the first four floors of the capitol.
finishing the actual construction du-
ties of the capitol commission, repre-
sents a saving in time to the state of
twelve months, due only to the zeal
and interest of the men actively inter-
ested in the erection of the building.
Under the old law, no single contract
work on any portion of the building
could be begun until contracts for the
entire structure had been awarded.
Realizing the delay which this would
involve, the members of the capitol
commission, composed of the P. J.
Goulding, S .A. Douglas, W. B. An-
thony and Governor Williams as ex-
officio chairman, immediately began
work on the great sub-structure of
the building, the completion of the four
stories being accomplished in record
time. Owing to the personal under-
taking^ these men, the state is ahead
just one year in the construction of
its new capitol.
The expense of the undertaking so
far nas been about $300,000, including
every item connected with the com-
mission's work. It is estimated that
$25,000 has been saved to the state on
account of the preliminary work done
by the commission, which would have
been impossible If the same wbrk had
been done by contract.

Gault Goes After Creamery Station#.
Cream assembling and distributing
stations over the state either will ob-
serve sanitation regulations more gen-
erally and faithfully or be closed by
court injunctions, according to a warn-
ing issued by President Frank M.
Gault of the state board of agriculture.
Gault said he, this week, will send
out at least a dozen men from the state
board of agriculture to assist the lone
dairy inspector in coping with the sit-
uation. Failure on the part of the
men operating these stations to com-
ply with this latest order will be fol-
lowed by action by the department in
the courts, he declared.
There are 1,500 stations of this kind
'.n the state, aproximately, records of
the board of agriculture show. Of this
number, Gault asserted, only about half
are observing the rules and regulations

court of appeals by Presiding Judge
While the Italian government finds
lioral reasons for entering the Euro-
pean conflict, the world at large be-
lieves she is actuated solely by a de-

Isonzo and. the town of Gradisca to
be ceded also (2).

imperial free city, receiving an admin-
istration which would insure the Ital-
ian character of the city and to have
an Italian university (3).
Fourth—Italian soverlgnty over Av-
lona (a seaport of Albania) and a
sphere of interest belonging thereto,
to be recognized (4).
Fifth—Austria-Hungary declared her
political disinterestedness regarding
Albania (5).
The concessions offered to Italy by
the allies are said to include the fol-
lowing:
1—Annexation by Italy of the Tren-
tino, Trieste, Istria, Pola, Fiume, Zara,
and the Dalmation coast lands as far
as the River Larenta.
2—Annexation by Italy of the Cyc-
lades islands and the Albanian port
of Avlona.
3—Rectification of the eastern fron-
tier of TuniB in favor of Italy.
4—Constitution of an independent
Croatian state under the government
of a prince acceptable to Italy.
5—Part of the Ottoman empire.
6—Portions of the German colonies.

WAR AT A GLANCE.
The German army headquarters an-
nounced that more than 300,000 Rus-
sians had been captured during tha
month of May.
After a siege of three weeks the
fortress of Przemysl, in Galicia, has
fallen to the Austrians. The Rus-
sians were in possession a little over
seventy days..
Ninety bombs were dropped in the
raid on London May 31 by Zeppelin air-
ships. Four persons were killed and
a few were injured. No public build-
ings were damaged.
A prisoner captured a fortnight ago
in the Dardanelles says that the Turk-
ish losses in the defense of their po
sitions on the Gallipoli peninsula were
at that time, more than 40,000 men.
The British steamer Dixiana, Bruns-
wick and Savannah to Havre and Port
Talbot, with a cargo of cotton and steel
billets, has been sunk off the French
coast near Ushand by a German sub
marine. The captain and crew were
reported saved.
Roumanla is now occupying the seat
of uneasy neutrality, lately held by
Italy. Th6 diplomats of the east evi
dently are working had to bring about
an understanding between Bulgaria
Roumanla. Rumors are rife that Rou
mania is mobolizing an army of 1,000
000 men, which is said to be in splen
lid condition for active service.
San Marino, the tiny republic on
the Adriatic, entirely surrounded by
Italian territory, has approved the
Italian attitude toward Austria and
has declared war on Austria. Sin
Marino is on high land, a few miles
from Rimini. The fact that the re-
public has joined with Italy in the
war makes it impossible for Austria-
Hungary to make use of its territory
as a neutral landing place for aero-
planes. The "nation" has a popula-
tion of 2,000.
The British steamship St. Helena is
taking on a cargo of 250,000 bushels
of wheat for the Belgian relief com-
mission at Galveston.
Papers in a divorce suit brought by
the Princess Evelyn Engalitcheff, for-
merly Miss Evelyn Pardridge of Chi-
cago, against Prince Nicholas Engalit-
cheff of Russia were filed at New
York.
Between 600 and 700 reservists, the
i first large body to leave since Italy'!
declaration of war sailed for Naples
| from New York on the Principe di
I Udine. More than 1,000 reservists in
all, it was said, at the Italian consu-
late, had applied during the morning
for registration papers and consular
passage to the other side.
Eighty and one-half per cent of the
3,195 fires in Allegheny county, (Pitts-
burg), during the past year were of
incendiary origin, while only 1 per
cent were unavoidable, according to
the report of the county fire marshal.
Twenty-four lives were lost, the re-
port showed, and the total financial
loss amounted to $3,113,653.
George F. Heller, proprietor of a
forge works at East St. Louis, de-
clined an unlimited order from the
French government for shrapnel cas-
ings. The order would have amounted
to $90,000 a week. Theodore Phillipi
of East St. Louis recently declined an
order for $900,000 worth of machinery
for the manufacture of cartridges.

The British foreign office through the
