May Stewart is Coming.

What is certain to prove one of the
principal events of the theatrical sea-
son will be the engagement of the dis
tinguished young actress, May Stewart,
and her excellent company at the Grand
Theatre soon, in an elaborate scenic
production OF '1ngomar, the Barbar-
IAN The play was written by the
noted German, Baron Friedreich Hahn
and translated into English by Maria
Lowell, and first produced in America
in the year 1S47 at the Park Lane
Theatre, where it was an instantan-
eous success. and has since served as
the most successful vehicle for such
stars as Mary Anderson, Nina Gale,
Margaret Mather, Julia Marlowe and
others. 1t was one of Miss Stewards
first successes and has been held prom
inent in her repertoire ever since.

CONVENTION RESULT
STILL IN DOUBT
First Test Vote Favored Wilson, But
Clark Men Rallied-Contest over
National Committeeman.

Oklahoma City, Feb 23-The con-
troll wayering between the Clark-Har-
mon and Wilson forces, the result of
the democratic convention last night
at IL o'clock was still as much in doubt
as it was when the delegates first went
Onto the moor at o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The Wilson forces, ON a recount OF
the first tost vote, under the spectacu-
lar leaders ip of alfalfa Bfl' Murray,
won the first skirmish, which decided
the issue OF representation on the var
ious committees in their favor. The
victory was slim one, however, an
even vote Of 1922 to 29215, that was
announced on the recount, which failed
to table the motion they had substitut-
ed for that of the Clark Harmon fac
tion. The Daily Oklahoman's count
of the vote was 3081a to 29312.
Around 10 o'clock the fight began to
center on the national committeeman
ship the report of the resolutions COM
mittee providing that the committee
manship fight be decided before the
presidential question be taken up, be-
ing unanimously adopted That was
what the supporters of Robert Gal
breath, who is noncommittal on the
presidential question, wanted. The fact
that Ex-Governor Haskell candidate
for the United States senate, who is
not a Wilson man, is working tooth
and nail for John Doolin, who opposed
Galbreath for national committeeman,
and the fact that the report of the COM
mittee on rules named under the Will
San plan of representation seemed to
favor Galbreath at II o'clock was the
only indication of what the lineup OF
the committeeman might be on the
presidential question.

Ignorance of Editorial Writer Appallin!

Washington, d. c., Feb. 29.-That
the nations capital is the source of all
ignorance may be taken from an edi-
torial in the Washington Star, which
appeared this week under the caption,
The Forty-Eighth State" in which a
high-priced editorial writer imparts
the information that the chances for
statehood for Indian Territory are not
considered at all bright. Enlightening
his eastern readers, the editorial-writer
goes on to say:
with all the continental American
territories save Alaska and the Indian
Territory, organized into states, there
are fortyeight stars on the flag, and
unless some of the states are divided
or Alaska and Hawaii are admitted,
the number will not reach the point of
fifty, which has been considered by
some as suitable stopping point in
this process.
"All that remains on the continent
in the way of possible statehood ma
terial is the Indian Territory and per
haps the District of Columbia. The
former has never been organized as a
territory having no governor, legisla-
ture or delegate in congress. 1t is in
part a government reservation, and
also in part held by the Indian tribes
as their own land, yet, of course, un-
, der the jurisdiction of the United
States. Statehood for the Indian Ter
ritory is less likely than for Alaska or
Hawaii unless conditions there change
radically"

"when is the Best Time to Set Hens2"

To the Editor of The Chieftain:
believe the Forum set apart in your
paper, if used in friendly discussion
of live topics will likely prove of great
value to your readers. But | fail to
see the utility of debates on the sub
ject of religious beliefs about which
mankind has in 5000 years never
agreed to anything except that it is a
personal matter in which every man
is entitled to absolute freedom
l don't believe any of those partici-
pating in your columns can shake the
others faith, or lack of faith, and
doubt if any reader has agreed abso-
lutely with any article written on
either side. | have an idea that each
of us is satisfied with his own creed
or theories and that an attack on that
of another can be fruitful only of bad
feeling and bad manners. therefore
move that the subject be indefinitely
postponed and that some matter not
only of more moment but more hope
ful Of solution be substituted. | sug-
gest this. When is the best time to

that purpose. A sudden jar threw
Wang through the pocket into the

ing on him. crushing him to death.

6206 Greene street. He leaves a wife
and one daughter, Gertrude, ~ years

Washington. d. c., July 19.-Like
so many other leaders in the Catho-
lie faith, Archbishop Giovanni Bon
zano, the new papal delegate to the
United States, views with alarm the
rising tide of socialism He fears for
our institutions, but most of all for
the church, il the socialist move
ment becomes the controlling political
force in the United States.
Il oppose socialism because 1t is
irreligious,' he declared recently.
Socialists say they are attempting
to establish a paradise on earth. They
are not interested in the life that is
to come. Socialism Is materialistic
1t destroys human character"
The archbishop fears that the ma
terialistic side of life is coming to
be regarded as of greater Importance
than the spiritual. not alone by the
socialists, but by people generally
throughout the country. For this rea-
son he hesitates to declare that the
world is growing better 'In ma.
terial sense, we are living better than
at any time in history" he says. "The
poor are better fed, clothed and
housed. There is greater and more
evenly distributed prosperity today
than ever before. But In a spiritual
sense, this age leaves much to be de-
sired"
Archbishop Bonzano is a handsome
and refined man of about 40 He is
seasoned missionary and priest and
will doubtless be cardinal some time.
Even the papacy is within the possi-
biIities of his career.

here at 1920 p. m. was derailed Tues

impaired for a time on that line.

the rear end of the train remaining on
the track. The ties were torn up in
great shape by the dumping from one
to another OF the heavy wheels, but
aside from considerable shaking the
occupants of the cars were uninjured.
The wonder is that the whole train
was not tipped into the ditch when
the whole side was hanging In space
after leaving the outer rail, but the
couplings held and the train was
stopped before anything happened OF
that sort.
The Streeter train was run through
here to the scene of the wreck and
brought over the mail and such pas

MASSACRE
OF REBELS
Reported Mexican Rebels Were
Caught in Death Trap

Juarez, July 19.--Passengers arriv-
ing over the Mexican Northwestern
from MADEIRA today brought stories of
a bloody massacre of rebels in the
Dolores mountain pass, southwest of
MADEIRA, in entrance to the state of
Sonora.
They declared the vanguard of a
column commanded by Gen. Antonio
Rojoes was caught In the canyon at
Dolores by nearly 1000 Yaqui Indians
and that of 400 rebels, less than 200
returned to MADEIRA in safety.
That a force of government volun-
teers was operating behind Dolores to
prevent the entrance Of rebels from
Sonora was generally known here, but
it was not believed that any Yaqui
Indians would enlist in the cause of
the government except 500 who are

New York, July 19.-The murder
plot that brought Herman Rosenthal
to his death that the gambler might
tell no tales, is today being brought
closer to the police system.
William Shapiero, part owner of
the murder car, is giving public prose-
cutor information that strengthens the
belief that the Staying Of Rosenthal
did not spring from the enmity Of the
gamblers clique. Shapiero admits
that when the motor car was engaged
he was told the policemen had know
ledge of what was going to happen
and that nobody was In danger.
Bald Jack" Rose, gambler and
friend of Police Lieutenant Broker.
and who surrendered himself to the
police, has given the name of a gamb-
Ter and gun fighter who was in the
car the night Rosenthal was shot
down in front of the Hotel Metropole.
His name is Scripps. Detectives at
once began securing the town for him.
What Rose told Deputy Police Com
missioner Doughtery makes the police
anxious to know more about "Brtggie"
Webber, pool room keeper and friend
of Rosenthal. Rose said when he left
car uptown he dropped In on Webber;;
but later It appears, Webber turned
up at the Hotel Metropole just before
Rosenthal was shot and there shook
hands with the gambler. Webber also
was seen at the hotel after the shoot
ing. ..
Shapiero is willing to tell more
of the circumstances that led up to
the shooting of Rosenthal. but he
won't tell them to the police.
Shapiero, through his counsel, ad-
mits he is in bad condition, but hopes
to be dealt with leniently If he tells
ali he knows of the murderers and the
killing. He is willing to take chances
with the district attorney. but won't
talk to the police.

have questioned Lieutenant Becker as
to his relations with Rosenthal and
as to his whereabouts at the time Of
the murder. 1t is noted as an inter
esting coincidence that Becker wound
up his business downtown and was
motoring UP to his home in the Branx
on the night Of the tragedy just as
the forces that were to mean the end
and Herman Rosenthal were converg-
ing upon the Hotel MetropoIe, where
the murder. was executed.
The gambler informer was already
at the hotel and the car that carried
his assassins must have been headed
that way when Becker's car passed
UP Broadway a few feet from the
scene Of the murder not more than
twenty minutes before 1t took place
District Attorney Whitman has left
no doubt in the minds of New York
ers that he will make the most thor
ough and searching investigation into
the alleged corrupt relation between
police and New York gamblers. "I
intend to put my whole Office to the
work of getting at the bottom Of
this thing" he says. "It is my duty
to prove to the people that justice is
not to be blocked or frightened by
terrorists, whether from within the
police department or without"

New York, July 1s.--That there is
a close and sinister relation between
the gamblers and the police force of
this city, is the assertion of District
Attorney Whitman.
81 accuse the police department Of
New York, through certain members
Iof 1t, with havtrg murdered Herman
Rosenthal;" he says. Either directly
or indirectly, ii was because Of them
that he was slain in cold blood with
never chance for his Iife.'
New York is stirred as 1t has not
often been before over the sensa tional
murder of Rosenthal on the eve of
the day when he had promised to offer
evidence to the district attorney to
prove that the police and the gamblers
of this city are in an unholy alliance.
The police force, 1t is declared, is more
on trial than the individuals who are
held for the murder.
On the day before the murder, Ro-
senthal, In an interview with the dis
trict attorney, had given considerable
information concerning gambling con-
ditions, and among other things de-
clared that Police Lieutenant Beker
had figured in the levying of tribute
in the gambling district.
