INFORMATION ABOUT MRS.
CLEVELAND CORRECTED
EIitor Journal and Courier:

E1itcr Journal and Courier:
In your notice in recent issue
of your paper Of the late Mrs. Fran
ces Cleveland l find the following
statement:
THE bishop who confirmed her
had been compelled to go to Eng
land for his conservation on account
of the hostility in this country to
his church, as two-thirds Of the
Signers of the Declaration of hide
pendence and the officiating clergy
man at the time, the Commanding
General Of the Colonial Army had
q number Of the prominent officers
under him, and Immediately after
the war, the President of the y. s.,
the Ambassadors to France and
England and very many others who
held the highest offices in the coun-
try were Episcopalians, it would
appear impossible that there could
have existed in this country any
hostility to their church.
The historical fact is simply this:
There were no bishops of the Epis-
copal church in America, 50 that
the first three would have to be
consecrated in England or Scotland
to enable the Church in America to
become automatic, possessing the
power of propagating itself by con-
secrating other Bishops, as the
laying on of hands" of three Bis
hops is required to safeguard and
insure the incession. So the Bish-
op who confirmed Mrs. Cleveland
as did two other elders, Or Presby-
tiers or Priests (words which the
Episcopal church accepts as desig-
mating the same Officer went to
England and Scotland to receive
conservation which could not then
be had in America and not ION ac-
count of the hostility in this coun-
try to his church"

NO MORE BODIES

Cause of Fire Still Remains
a Matter of Much
Conjecture.

MENlA Texas, Feb. 17.-With tho
ruins OF the old MeNia opera house
and four adjoining buildings practic.
ally clearned of debris. the death list
from last nights collapse and en-
plosiOn tonight remained at nine, no
additional bodies having been found.
Police believed every person had been
accounted for. The property loss was
approximately 100000.
The question OF what caused the
accident in the opera house in which
a school art exhibit was to have been
held, still is undecided. Many persons
believe the building collapsed and a
gas explosion followed while other
contend the building fell in following
the explosion of gas. The latter
theory generally is accepted An Of
ficial Investigation will follow the
coroners inquest, probably tomorrow.
The bodies of Prof. and Mrs. A. Z.

wv ASIIINGTON, Feb. 17.--Presi-
w dent wilson sent to the senate
today his response to the Fall reso-
luton adopted last month requesting
him to report on facts leading up to
recognition by the United States OF
the de facto government of Mexico
headed by General Nenustiano Car
rama. 1t was in the form of long
letter from Secretary Lansing, sum-
mariZing the events which preceded
recognition and transmitting great
, volume of data, including list of all
Americans killed in Mexico and along
the border during the past six years
The president, through Mr.. Lansing,
declined to comply with that part of
the Fall resolution asking for diplo-
matte and consular reports on pollti-
cal conditions and events in Mexico.
The senate was informed that it was
not compatible with public interest to
furnish this correspondence mas
much at it was of a highly conliden-
tial nature.
adequate Protection"
As to the ability of Carranza To ful-
fill his promise to protect foreign
lives and property, Mr. Lansing said
that under all the circumstances the
de facto government which at the
time of recognition controlled more
..than 15 per cent of Mexico's territory
was affording reasonably adequate
protection to the lives and property OF
American citizens"
The data disclosed that 76 Ameri-
cans were killed in Mexico in the
years 1913. 1914 and 1915 as COM
pared with AZ in the three years pre-
ccdihg and that twenty civilian Amer
leans and 16 soldiers were killed on
American soil in the last three years
as a result of Mexican troubles
When the report was received SEN

Caucus Shows Majority Is
Three Votes Shy to
Carry Measure.
FIGHT MAY DEVELOP
AGAINST THE BILL.
Registration Legislation
Nav BE Held up for
Several Days.

NkLAHoMA CITY. Feb. 1.-THE
~ house today indicated it's inn
preston of the usurN bill as passed
by the senate when in Democratic
caucus 1t developed the majority were
three votes shy OF the necessary num-
ber to pass the bill The measure
which the senate produced is not near
so drastic as others on the subject in
troduced in the house and it is UNDER
stood that members there are not sat
lsfied with the senate bill which, to
say the least is mild enough Ii IL
considered harmless by many and is
understood to be entirely satisfactory
to bankers.
In view of this il is considered very
doubtful If the legislature can COM
plete the work and adjourn Saturday.
The house today passed without
amendment the grandfather clause"
one of the election measures The
Republicans offered number of
amendments but they were ignored
by the majority and the measure went
through to engrossment. As today
was only the second day of consid-
GRAFTON. the roll could not be called,
but 1t probably will tomorrow.
Delay Registration Bill
iH' itSistIdtioH biil was not con-
sidered In the house today although
II was eligible for action. 1t has
been the talk for several days that the
house would not pass the registration
bill until they got the right kind of u
usury law. The action indicated by
the caucus on the would lead to the
prediction that the registration bill
is endangered, and the delay in taking
1t up carries some Notifications.
II Is understood that "A number OF
the house members are opposed to the
registration bill per Sc.

Magnificent 10-Story Struc.
turc for Fourth and
Main Streets.
A BIG IMPROVEMENT
Palace Building Will BE En-
largcd to Provide Spa
cious Quarters.

'ORDERs have been given to clear
" the one hundred by ninety-foot
tract at the intersection of Fourth
and Main streets. preparatory to the
erection oIa ten-story office and bus
mess building by T.. u. Harwell. This
work Will require only few days,
after which the ground will be made
ready for assault at the hands of
hundreds of laborers and mechanics
who will install a foundation which
will be one of the deepest in the city
and capable of holding "A structure Of
even more than ten stories.
Although plans for this superb
structure have not yet been completed
they are understood now to be in the
hands of an architect who has orders
to make all haste. that actual oper-
atiOns may begin at the earliest pos
siblc date, which probably will be
April |. The building will have u
Main street frontage of "A hundred
feet and extend along Fourth street
for distance of ninety feet. Steel,
concrete, brick and cut stone will be
used. making it absolutely fireproof.
Mr.. HarWcll has infinite confidence
in TulSa'S future, therefore will de-
sign his new building in such a way
that substantial additions may be
made any time. Therefore. when the
city's progress necessitates more room
in the lIarWeli building, it viii be pro-
vided by taking the structure up as
many stories as necessary.
Stores and offices
on the ground floor of this splen-
did building, which will be situated
at the intersection of two of the most
important business thOrOughfares will
be a group of the largest and best
store rooms in the city. They will
be faced with huge plate glass win
doWs which have become so necessary
in displaying merchandise, while spe-
cial attention will be given by the
architects to ventilation and lighting
The elevator corridor will be fin
inshed in solid marble while the ele-
vator cages on the ground floor will
be heavy bronze in artistic scroll
There probably will be four passenger
elevators, but at the rear of the build
ing will be two lifts designed for
handling heavy freight. furniture and
luggage. The elevator mechanism
will be of the latest improved type
combining high speed with a mini
mum of danger.
Fountains of running water will be
installed on all floors, while it is not
improbable the roof will be used as a
summer garden. The ventilating. sani-
tation and heating systems will insure
perfect comfort and health for all oc-
cupants of the big structure
If work on this building is started
April |, it should be completed within
eight months. which insures the form
