JACK LOVE SAYS PEACE
RE|GNS IN PARTY

j. 7. Love, chairman of the Okla.
homa corporation commission, who
was here today. is confident that the
Democratic party win not suffer as
an organization by any rows between
its prominent members such as that
now on between Governor Williams
and w. M. Franklin, clerk of the su-
preme court.
"The people Of Oklahoma care no.
thing about these fights" said Col
onel Love. "'They notice them as
incidents, that's all. The people do
not generally pay any attention to
officials in so far as attaching any
particular importance to their offic-
es, and the differences between the
Governor and the clerk of the sup
rene court amounts to about as much
with them as row between cotton
pickers."

TWO AMERICANS ON
BOARD ARABIC MISSING

TENSE WITH EXPECTANCY
AWAITING REPORTS
(By Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 2O.--The best informa-
ton obtainable indicates that score
or more lost their lives on the Arabic.
1t has not been determined definite
iy yet, whether any Americans we're
lost, two are missing, however, and il
is announced that all but eight of the
passengers have landed at Queenstown.
This shows that a majority of the
missing are members of the crew.
Captain Finch testified to the hero.
ism of the engineers and firemen, who
stayed at their posts to the last, in
order to insure the safety of the
passengers, and probably sacrificed
their lives in doing so.
Survivors say the torpedo which
rent the ships hull, killed outright
several men In the boiler room.
Torpedoing of the Arabic has stirred
all England. Saving SO large a num-
Der is regarded much better fortune
than might be expected under the cir
cumstances and was apparently due to
the coolness Of the officers and crew.
