number of prelates that are assembled at
this time in New York for the observ-
ance Of the centenary of that diocese the
attendance will be unusually large. The
occasion promises TO be not table by the
presence in Washington of Cardinal
Logue of Ireland.
Cardinal Logue has accepted an invita-
ton to be present at a luncheon in his
honor at the Catholic University next
Wednesday as the guest of Bishop O'Con-
nell A movement has been started by
several prominent Catholic laymen to in
duce Cardinal Logue to accept few
social greetings from the local Catholic
men and women Wednesday evening. and
a letter has been sent to him asking his
wishes in the matter. Much interest is
said to be manifested in the Celtic cardi-
nal. particularly among the Irish-Ame--
lean residents of the National capital. If
Cardinal Logue is at liberty Wednesday
evening the reception will be held AT one
of the large halls downtown.

KNIGHT STILL
DRAWS PLANS

Charles F. Smith, bridge engi-
neer who since the elimination OF
S. H, knight has been at the head
Of operations, will probably be con-
tinued in the employ Of the egi-
neer's Office and given charge OF
other bridge operations. Although
credit for finishing the construction
is generally given City Engineer
Ralston, the men who worked there
say Smith was the man on the job
and carried out the work without
Ralstons assistance. He is receiv.
ing 81 day.
1t has also been supposed that 8.
H. Knight had no further connec-
ton with local bridge operations.
However, it is a fact that he has
drawn several plans of other pro-
posed bridges for City Engineer
Ralston, but just how he is to be
paid is not determined. Among
the plans he has made are four for
the proposed e. Sprague av. trestle.
One is for steel, another for con-
crete. and for dry wall and fill and
concrete wall and fill.
Whether or not any more con-
crete bridges will be constructed is
a question at present which city of.
ficials refuse to discuss. City En-.
gineer Ralston is strictly a steel
man himself and will probably IA
vor steel structures for all other
bridge operations. The concrete
experiment on Washington st. was
expensive the way 1t was handled.
Concrete adherents say that had
the Washington St bridge work
been properly conducted 1t would
not have been nearly so costly.
1t is expected thax/Mr. Ralston
will have some suggestion to make
to the next meeting of the council
relative to other bridge building
now that the Washington st. struc-
ture is completed.

he practically repeats the contents
of a former letter from Counsel
Cannon of the road. which was to
the effect that the Northern Pacl-

City Engineer Ralston's plan for a

city and tunnel through Cannon

1t is expected that the mayor
will call the municipal railway
commission together next week
and place before 1t all the replies
received from railroad men, so a
report may be made to the coun-

OKLAHOMA MAKES THE MA 7IONAL
BANKS KNUCKLE DOWN

The state had $7,5O0,00O on de-
post with the national banks, and
Immediately began Withdrawing
this money. Depositors transferred
their accounts to state banks. Pref
ty soon the national banks were
on their knees, ready to do any
thing to stave off certain ruin.
Their stockholders got together
and agreed to make good the dis
puted l per cent. Under con-
tract with the state banking COM
mission they did this. The state
returned its deposits to those so
doing, and the private Iepositors
came back with their funds.
The banks obeyed Uncle Sam, as
banks; the stockholders observed
the state law as stockholders.
Today the guaranty fund exceeds
100000. 1t is on deposit, and at
compound interest will grow ire
mendously in future. Within a few
years Oklahoma will be in a posi-
ton to laugh at panics.
