An offer has been made the terri
tory of Oklahoma by the Salvation
army to build and conduct a reforma-
tory for the youth of the common
wealth. The officials here have the
matter under advisement in relation to
its legality and desirability. The
leading officers Of the army are known
to be in touch with the plan and at
the proper time a further presentation
of the matter will probably be made
by local officers of the body. SO far
IS known, this plan is unparalleled in
the history Of penology. Heretofore
the wayward youth of Ohehoma have
been sent to prison, where they
mingled with the worst criminal
classes because there has been no
reformatory to send them to.

POPE Plus X SPEAKS TO
DIGNITARIES OF CHURCH
Receives Cardinals and High Pre-
lates While Robed in White and
Sitting on Throne.
ADDRESS

ROME. Dec. 23.-The Pope received all
the cardinals and high prelates to-day, and
they exchanged the seasons greetings. The
function was unusually interesting as 1t
was the first of the kind under the present
Pontiff
The reception took place in the gorgeous
throne room of the private apartments of
the late Pope Leo XIII. now renovated and
used as Pope Pius's public reception room.
The POntiff. in spotless white robes, was
seated on the throne, while the cardinals
ranged themselves in front of him, accord
ing to precedence. Behind them were the
other church dignitaries in their order.
The dean of the Sacred College Cardinal
Oreglia. read a short, happily -worded
speech, to which the Pope replied with his
usual affability and modesty. The address
of Cardinal Oreglia was of a religious
character. The Pope in reply spoke of
the need Of humility. the detachment of
all followers of Christ from the world, and
the redemption offered to all without ref
erence to social or political position. The
Lord, he said. came TO save all the people,
poor and rich, although he preferred to
hide his glory in the stable at Bethlehem.
AT the conclusion of the address the as
semblage advanced and kissed the Pom
TIL hand and broke up into small groups
POPE Plus speaking personally to each OF
them.
The United States was represented at the
reception by Mgr. Seton, (titular archbishop
OF Heliopolis) of Newark n. J., and Mgr
kennedy, rector of the American College.

bers Of the association said tonight that
should the police fail to maintain order
the sheriff would be called upon for pro-
lection and should that measure fail the
Governor would be appealed to to supply
militiamen in large enough force to secure
to the people of Chicago the right to bury
their dead in peace.
Reports Of the decision of owners caused
no dismay in camp of the strikers Sup
$4,000 a week, the idle carriage and hearse
drivers look into the future fearlessly.
They say that no injunction, police protec-
ton and even the militia cannot seriously
affect their chances of winning for the rea-
son that men cannot be secured to drive
the vehicles deserted when the strike was
ordered. IT is estimated that more police
will be required to protect the numerous
funerals than was required to protect prop
erty during the warlike days OF the street
strike.

making preparations to-day to resume serv-
ice to patrons. ''pckets or no pickets. in

ing told that they would be smashed II
