has decided to withdraw the request
at Oglethorpe University * that the

Influenced By Papers.
It was learned that Dr. Jacobs was
advised by Rev. Leslie Wrifht, the
rector of Cranham church, to aban¬
don his plan in view of the growing
opposition. He was also probably
influenced by the strong opposition of
the English newspapers. He plans to
return to the United States at once.

ALL HOSPITALS IN CITY
FILLED WITH REFUGEES
Waters lapping very threshold
of retail business center of
the city—no loss of life.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 1«.—(By
the Associated Press)—A catastrophic
flood crippled Oklahoma City today,
with virtually the entire south side
in unabated flood waters of the North
Canadian river rising rapidly and
creeping relentlesely upward from the
IoW lands.
Rarly today they were lapping the
very threshold of the retail business
center of the city with every prospect
that crest-high water would not be
reached for some time.
The raging torrent was swollen to
unprecedented proportion by the rains
of the phst day*, and broke
through the municipal up
miles west of hero, early h
flung a nine foot wall of water to
spread further disaster to the al¬
ready. stricken lowlands and cities on
the south side. National guardsmen
ere patrolling the stricken section.
Hospitals Filled.
No loss of life is reported^ so far,
but many persons are imperilled.
Every hospital In the city is filled
with refugees, while bread and coffee i
lines formed apd gave sustenance to
those forced to abandon their homes.
Later in the day it was officially ra¬
ported that water at the reservoir had
dropped sixty feet and although it has
not yet dropped in the city, it was
taken as an indication that the flood’s i
,
crest had been reached.
Pandemonium feigned for some
time as thousands of refugees clogged
the up town streets.
All public buildings were turned
into emergency hospitals.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.—(By

storm which moved rapidly northeast
during the night, taking on hurricane
proportions, apparently passed the

day and lost its fores as it sped

ently small.
