ANOTHER FOR TULSA.

The following story is from
THE Diapason". the greatest
publication in the world devoted
10 organ music:
Clarence Eddy has returned to
his home at San Francisco from
one of the most successful of his
many tours-a matter in which
no doubt he holds world record.
He was heard in Florida,
Georgia. New England New
York. Oklahoma and other Sec
tions. and everywhere received
an ovation from large audiences,
proof positive of Mr.. Eddi's ever
fresh magnetism in personality
and performance. At Tulsa, Ok
lahoma, where Mr. Eddy played
the municipal organ which is the
JOY and pride of the growing
city, the enthusiasm reached its
climax and the leading dailies
gave columns on the front pages
to the performance.
Mr. Eddy is living refutation
of the theory that people do not
care for organ recitals. AT the
Thompkins Avenue Congrega-
tional church in Brooklyn, for
instance, there was an audience
of~ore than q thousand people
while a terrific snowstorm ragged.
Those of us who can't Get people
to come out and hear us have
something to ponder in the fore
going.

CONFEREES SPLIT
ON ARMY MEASURE
Are " Hopelessly Apart ,
After Three Days De-
liberation on Bill.

WASHINGTON. May 1.--Conferees
of the house and senate after three
days deliberations on the army re-
organization bill. the first of the
big preparedness measures. have
come to complete deadlock over
several important features. 1t was
strongly intimated Monday that they
would report a disagreement and ask
their respective branches of congress
for further instructions.
"Hopelessly apart" on the size of
the regular army and the proposals
for volunteer reserve army and q
government nitrate plant. was the re-
port Of one member of the conference
tonight, and he declared congress
would be asked in the near future to
pass again on these features of the
measure.
The senate Conferees are insisting
determinedly upon the provision in
the senate bill for regular army of
100000 men and Representative
Kahn. the Republican house conferee,
Is standing with them. Representa-
tives Hay and Dent. however. are in
slstent upon the house provision for
100000 men.
Defeat Proposition.
Representative Kahn pointed out to
the conferees today that his amend
ment for an army OF two hundred
thousand had been defeated by only
a small majority when the house had
the bill under consideration. Since
that time big army men contend. in
ternational developments have caused
a change of feeling on the part of
many representatives.. Some admins
trat ION leaders think the house might
now be brought to accept the 250,000
senate proposal, should the conferees
fail TO agree.
