IN NEW YORK COURT
Riot Follows Second Performance,
Also-Eggs Hurled at Singers
on Stage.

NEW YORK. October 23.-Argu-
ment on the legal merits Of std ging
opera In German in this city-a pro-
cedure which has resulted in two riots
in as many performances-came up
today in supreme court.
The Star Opera Company, Incorpo-
rated, which succeeded in presenting
two German masterpieces at the Lex
ington Theater under police protec-
ton, was prepared to ask that u tenn
porary Injunction restraining city
authorities from interfering with the
opera be made permanent. The city,
following an opinion expressed by
Corporation Counsel Burr that Ger
man opera might legally be sup
pressed until after ratification of the
peace treaty. was ready to argue
against a permanent injunction.
Second Performance; Riot Again.
The temporary injunction granted
yesterday by Supreme Court Justice
Bijur-backed by heavy police protec-
tion-afforded the opera an opportu-
nifty to continue last night. More than
200 mounted police and patrolmen
were required to keep crowd of for

The police used clubs freely. A man

So many conflicting reports come to
scribing conditions in Europe, and
particularly in Germany, that 1 have
thought my readers might find inter-
esting the comment made by friend
of mine. editor of one of the largest
Of the newspapers of a neutral ma
ton, who knows Germany exceeding
ly well. His statements. SO far as
Germany is concerned, are the more
interesting as they confirm the dec
larations made by Mr.. Morgenthau
recently in a public utterance. which
was patiently intended as warning.
Writing in August. my correspond
ent says:
UNLESS I woefully misinterpret
things, Europe-and notably Europe's
working classes-is getting it's will
power back. The last few months
have seen us all more and more tired
of the war and it's aftermath and
more and more anxious to get back to
work
Many of us had gone so far as to
assume that nobody would ever want
to work again; that the 'have-nots'
would live for a while on what they
could squeeze out of the 'haves and
that after that a new spell of the
dark ages would be upon us again. 1t
has become quite clear. in my opinion,
that this pessimism was not warrant
ed. The European patient is well on
the road to recovery; you can see his
elasticity and springiness returning,
and he will presently take up his job
anew. I should not be surprised to
see him do 1t with greater zest. The
new ideas, which we have seen break
through. give us all new and more
stimulating environment, and in
everybody's bosom there is springing
up keen curiosity to see what the
world is going to be like. And curios-
ity is a big lever.

MANY SIGN
PETITION
IN COUNTY

That the petition in which the
county commissioners are asked to
call an election on a bond issue for
the purpose of building new court
house, is meeting with success
among the voters of the county, was
indicated by the statement of Alger
Melton, local attorney, who assisted
in circulating the petition on Chicka-
sha avenue Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Melton stated this morning
that he and Judge Will Linn, working
on Chickasha avenue Saturday Sc
cured 459 signers to the petition.
"Of this number 75 to 100 were far
mers whom we happened to catch
on the street. We encountered only
two men who refused to sign the pc
tition"
Several other men worked in the
various towns in the county Satur-
day and reports are that they met
with proportionate success. 1t was
estimated that from 400 to 500 sign
ers were secured outside of Chicka-
sha Saturday.

were that Geneva would be recon-

which is considering the subject, met
today and, although no ana uncepient
was made, it Appeared tha. the ten.
dency of the maynbers was clearly
in favor of Geneva.
Brussels, The Hague, Rome and
Constantinople also were considered
by the committee.
The Hague, although it has the adj
vantage of possessing a building for
peace conferences that would imme-
diately be available, is objected to by
several countries, especially some OF
the Latin world, which oppose settling
the future League of Nations in Hol-
land. Another group opposes Brus-
sels. Rome, although the cradle Of
international law, must be discarded,
the conference having almost unani-
mously decided that no great power
shall have the seat of the league.
Constantinople is opposed because it
is not convenient of access.

from reports from over the state"
The vital legislation passed during
the eleventh hour of the session, ac-
cording to the Grady county solon,
was the passage of bill providing
for the establishment of the state
tuberculosis sanatoria, a bill which
provides that three institutions of
this nature shall be established in
the state.
The bill was passed after a hot
discussion and after three confer
ences had been held between the
houses.
Senator Dearmon has been placed
on the COmmittee to compile the
permanent senate journal Practically

piling of the permanent journal, Mr..
Dearmon says The senator leaves
Thursday for Oklahoma City, to as
sumo these duties.
Among the bills passed by the les
isiature in the final lap, was the
Bert Jackson bill, which provides for
the creation of a board of regents
for the Oklahoma College for Wom-

The bill las construed by Senator
C. A. Dearmon, provides that the re-
gency board shall consist of five
members, two of which shall be
women. Members of the board
shall be appointed by the governor
and shall serve without compensation.
According to the Grady county SEN
ator, the measure carried an emerg-
ency clause and will probably be
signed by the governor some time
this week.
By virtue of the school being con-
trolled by a board of regents, it will
be given a rating higher than the
state normal schools, Mr. Dearmon
says.
