Late Tuesday afternoon the three com

Talk by Murphy.
Henry c. Murphy. one OF the speakers
at the Sunday mass meeting from which
the mob went Immediately to its attacks
on the Greeks Sunday. in the course OF a
lengthy statement, says:
1T is only fair to Representatives How
ard, Kraus and myself, to here and now
specifically deny the use at the mass meet
ing OF the inflammatory language which
has been charged to myself and others. and
/ now say and can establish the fact BY
100 prominent taxpayers and citizens or
South Omaha that the statements. Avenge
the blood OF LSwery.' or The blood OF
Lowery is on the Greek colony and other
kindred statements. were never made or
used at the mass meeting. or at any other
time or place in South Omaha
For some reason certain newspapers have
purposehy and wiilfully misrepreseated The
entire affair. For instance. n is reported
that $4,000 worth OF glass was destroyed.
where. as a matter Of fact. yI.0oe would re-
place all the shattered glass in the city.
In this connection it must be remembered
that the mass meeting. at which ! presided.
every other citizen I'm IL as well as myself
resent the idea OF violence, and IL must also
be remembered that the reckless band OF
boys who committed these depredafions
were not in fact at the mass meeting. nor
took any part In its deliberations. and could
not have known what had transpired Al the
mass meeting.
I will not yield the first place 20 any citi-
zens OF South Omaha when Il comes 20
stand for good citizenship. and I join ia
the general feeling that acts OF violence
under any circumstances are unwarrant-
able. and I deplore the fact that our city
must endure the publicity OF these unseen
ingiy."

The rights and privileges granted TO the
subjects OF Greece in Article I OF the treaty
OF lS57, are guaranteed to them with all the
treaty embraces corporations. joint stock
companies. and other associations. ommer-
formity with the Law OF Greece. No legal
objection exists in the secretary OF state
instructing the United States minister az
Athens to give the government o. Greece
associations may exercise In the United
States all the rights and privileges granted,
subject to the appropriate laws of the
United States and those Of the several
states.
Settlement with ItaIIans.
The treaty with Italy. made IN 1871. does
not guarantee property OF Italian subjects.
but congress. nevertheless. made settle
ment OF property losses sustained in the
riots in New Orleans q few years ago The
Italian government at that time made de-
mand upon the government Of the United
States for for Italian subjects
killed and for Italian property destroyed.
This government replied that II could do
nothing under its dual form of govern
ment, explaining its inability to compel
a state to make ecompense. The foreign
government claimed to misunderstood the
explanation and recalled its minister. Out
OF a spirit OF amity congress then made
settlement for the New Orleans losses,
though disavowing any liability.
The treaty with Italy was made in ISL.
but is quite different from that with Greece.
as it does not guarantee property Of Italian
subjects. Article > Of this treaty. CON

A circuit court decision OF iS1 reads;
Under article 5 OF the treaty OF ST..
Italian subjects have the same rights as
citizens OF the United States. and no
greater.

MISS ELKINS BACK
WEST VIRGINIA GIRL ANNOYED BY
 REPORTERS.
Her Brother Says She Is Not Engaged To Be Married To The Italian
 Duke.

New York. Oct. Miss Kathrine Elkins arrived today on the White Star liner .Adriatic, after a stay of several weeks in Europe during which it has been asserted and denied that she had met the Duke of the Abruzzi to whom at one time she was reported to be engaged.
 It was reported at the same time that royal objections to the match had been withdrawn and that Miss Elkins was the sole dictator.
 With Miss Elkins were her mother, Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins and her two brothers Stephen and Davis.
 The latter was asked:
 'Is your sister engaged to be mar ried to the dukeT'
 ''So far as I know she is not" he re- piled.
 Would you know If an enga cement existed?"
 Mot necessarily
 MT. Elkins added that if his sister and the duke had met he did not know it, and he did not believe they had.
 Senator Elkins was on the pier to meet his family. Miss Elkins denied herself tp all interviewers.
 Some photographers endeavored to get a picture of Miss Elkins, but her brothers and some friends crowded around her to prevent it.
 Senator Elkins remarked that his daughter had been driven almost to distraction by the reports that have been printed about her. She has the appearance of having been through much mental strain.

VIII Visit America in Interest of
 Home Rule.
 London. Oct. TT. F. OConnor, M. P, will sail shortly for the United States at the request of John F. Red mond, the Irish leader, to explain the political situation here to the support CTS of the Irish cause in America and struggle for home rule.
 The nationalists regard the ap- preaching general election as one of the most critical periods in their his tory, and the full power of their or- ganization will be utilized in helping the liberals deprive the House of Lords of the power of veto. which they claim Is the sole remaining obstacle to home rule.
 The nationalist point of view is set forth in an appeal Mir. Redmond is for warding to M. J. Bryan, Philadelphia.
 The statement says:
 "A great crisis in the Irish struggle has arisen. The House of Lords Is engaged at this moment fin destroying the Irish land bill. with It's promise Of closing the land war of centuries and completing the restoration of all the land of Ireland to her people and the banishing forever of misery and famine from the west of Ireland. Gen eral elections are certain within the next two weeks. In these elections the veto of the House of Lords will be at stake, and with the veto of the House of Lords will disappear the last obstacle to home rule.
 Ireland will have arrayed against her all the forces of landlordism, wealth and privilege. Once more we appeal to our race to help us fight against these powerful enemies of our race"
