Double Killing.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, June A.
Mystery today surrounded the double
killing of Miss Alta Norman, aged 81,
former public library employe and a
Mexican boy. The police theory is
that the boy shot Miss Norman after
a struggle, and then, fearing detec-
ton, killed himself. Trails of blood
across her room and an overturned
telephone gave mute evidence of the
womans efforts to summon aid and
escape her assailant.

POPE IN PEACE MOVE
CARDINAL GIBBONS PRESENTS
PoNTlFF's NOTE TO PRESIDENT.
Message Not Made Public, but the
Prelate Says Peace Prospects
Are Bright.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Cardinal Glib
bons, dean Of the College of Cardinals.
on Thursday presented to President
Wilson a confidential communication
from Pope Benedict inviting and urg-
ing this government to cooperate with
the Vatican and neutral nations to
bring about peace in Europe.
A conference on the same subject
was held later at the state department
between Cardinal Gibbons and Secre-
tary of State Lansing.
After his visits and confidential talK
to and with the president, Cardinal
Gibbons said:
81 think the prospects Of peace are
Frightening"
Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary OF
state and the president declined to re-
veal the details of the pope's sugges-
ton. 1t was stated at the White
House, in fact, that the president
would not discuss the subject at all.
Cardinal Gibbons said:
II only can tell you that l conveyed
to the president message from the
holy father and that the message re-
lated to the subject of peace. The
message cannot be made public yet; if
receive authority / shall be glad to
make it public. The authority must
come from Rome and we will have to
confer about that.
II regard the settlement of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Germany as affording an excep-
tional opportunity for peace proposals
and as having placed the United
States in most advantageous posi-
ton to act in this direction
My interview with the president
was most gratifying. 1t would, of
course, be improper for me to speak
in detail regarding the conference
with the president, but l may say the
conference was Of very genial and
happy character. In a general way
Mexico was also discussed"
The cardinal said the peace pro-
posals he conveyed to the president
have been submitted only to the Unit
ed States. Whether the message from
the Vatican will be submitted to other
neutral governments the cardinal
would not say.

sengers and crew to escape. He SAID

cause this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred.
"I have no objection to your making
any use you may please of the above
information.
Il remain. my dear Mr.. Lansing.
Very sincerely yours,

going statement it seems needless to
make any comment in regard to it
other than to say that it appears to me

ciples for which we have commended
