OKLAHOMA YIS CLUETOEARLY AN Gravel Pit Is Veritable Treas- ury of Geological Specimens for Scientific Study. By the Assoclated Press. FREDERICK, Okla, January 15— Granting that Asia was the cradle of man, Southwest Oklahoma asserts it provided his first toddling ground. Out of a gravel pit near here have come what are declared by scientists to be unmistakable human artifacts. These have been found in strata declared by geologists to belong to the Ple'stocene age, or between 500,000 and 750,000 Yyears old. If the antiquity of the evdence of human habitation were proved, it would alter the definitions of the Pltistocene era, which is given by Webster %s that *immediately preceding man.” The pit, although a veritable iteas- ary of paleontological and geolo¥ical specimens, is in daily commercial vse. It is owned by A. H. Holloman, Predenk contractor and real estate dealer. ‘The most conclusive proofs of humar. habitation found are arrowheads, pro-* mounced by Harold J. Cook, curator of the Colorado Muesum of Natural His- tory, as undoubtedly manufactured by man. In addition, numerous stones sug- gesting the heads of war clubs, spears and hammers, pottery trays and vessels, and clay tablets suggesting crude at- tempts at writing, have been unearthed. Many scientists have visited the pit of the specimens are now in sion of the Colorado museum, sonian Institution in Wash- ington and the Univeristy of Oklahoma Museum in Norman. Other finds, many of which have not been viewed by ex- perts, are stored away by Holloman. Among the most interesting of these | ymbia, who married the governess to Thousands Write “Happy Birthday” To Former Kaiser Letters Pour Into Office of Berlin Newspaper to be Sent Him. By the Assoeigted Press. BERLIN, January 15.—Thousands ¢f letters written fastidiously in longhand and addressed to the former Emperor ‘William of Germany are pouring in on the dingy little editorial offices of the Monarchist organ Der Aufrechte in southern Berlin. carefully penned in gilded letters. The boxes then are tied with a royal purple ribbon and frrwarded to the exiled monarch at Doorn. Every year Ernst Pfeiffer, editor of the journal, suggests to his readers that they write congratulatory birthday let- ters to the ex-Kaiser in care of Der Aufrechte. Last year 2100 such letters were re- ceived, and 1% former Crown Prince included them in his baggage when he went to Doorn to celebrate his imperial father's anniversary. This year, it being William's seventieth’ ‘birthday, a special =ffort wes made, and 3t was said today that the number of ihe greetings will exceed 5.000. In the long Winter evenings Wilhelm and Princess Hermine read these letters on their quiet estate. Fditor Pfeiffer insists that each well- wisher express sentiments in his or her owr. words. “Write to his majesty, the Kaiter and King, exactly as your heart dictetes,” are Pfeiffer's instructions. “No highfalutin language is necessary. The Raiser is gladdened by every honest and faithful greeting.” Thi¢ year the letters will be taken Bre two clay tablets. On one is carved | Princess | Hermine's children. an unmistakable fish, on the other the form of a man. Two small objects closely resembling the hand and foot of an infant were found close together. The fingers and toes are well defined. WRITER IS KILLED IN MYSTERIOUS FIRE Fred A. Hayner, Former Sporting Editor, Burns to Death While Adjusting Heater in Basement.
