associated with that play that in the
minds of drama lovers that to men,

part and thereafter played it con-
2tinuously for years.
An unusual incident In Mr.. O'Neil's
career was his attempt to imperson-
ate Christ In passion play produced
in 1880 at San Francisco, where
Q'Neil was then a popular player
The effort was frowned upon by the
authorities despite the fervor and
reverance with which Mr.. ONeil es-
sayed the part and after running for
a few weeks, it had to be withdrawn.
Later an attempt was made by
Henry Z. Abbey to produce the Pas
sion Play In New York with Mr.
QNeil in the leading role, but it was
prevented by the authorities.
Mr.. O'NeiI was brought to this
country when small child from
the home of his parents in Kilkenny

stage was in the National Theater al

company for two years, and appeared
with Adelaide Nelson and Edwin
Booth In classic plays.
He went to New York and played
Pierre in "The Two Orphans" the
Prince in "The Danichoffs." and as
Jean Renaud in "A Celebrated Case
Beginning in 1898 he achieved ar
enviable reputation as D'Artagnan ir
"rhe Muskateers." He attempted
many years ago to retire from the
stage but often was recalled to ap-
pear in romantic dramas in which
he was at his best.
Mr.. O'Neil had been in a coma for
a month. He was left in weakened
condition nearly two years ago after
he was struck by an automobile in
New York. When his health began to
fail last spring, he was sent to hos
pital in New York. After leaving that
institution he suffered relapse and
was brought here.

HARDING TO CLARITY LEAGUE
Wilson Seen by Republicans as Ruler
80. 81. Of Coy n&&inM

Marion. Or, Aug. 10.-Senator War
rem G. Harding will make new
declaration Of his attitude on the
league of nations soon, possibly in
his address to the members OF the
Ohio Republican Editorial Associa-
tion, 400 OF whom will come to Mar
ion next Friday.
In this announcement he Is expect
ed to make 1t plain that the "su-
preme issue Of the century," as Gov
ernor Cox has termed it, is simply
Wilson league or no Wilson league,
and that when 1t comes to forming
a new league or reforming or modi-
flying the present covenant, Senator
Harding is anxious to have America
take it's proper place in world af-
fairs as an aid to weaker nations.
Governor Cox's clever but specious
argument that the present ACTIVITY of
Elihu, Root in. Europe In rebuilding
The Hague court, Is a comforting
fact to the Wilson democrats, proba-
bly, will come in for comment.
Greater CO. ordination of campaign
forces, detailed plans of backing up
and supplementing the front porch
program, will be discussed tomor-
row morning by Senator Harding
with Chairman Will II. Hays and
Harry M. Daugherty, members Of the
national executive committee Hays
will be here only few hours, but
Daugherty will remain all day. Mr..
Daugherty visited Senator Penrose
last Saturday at his home in Phila-
delphia.
James B. Reynolds, former secre-
tary Of the national committee and
manager for Gov. Coolidge at the Chi
cago convention, called on Mr. Hard
{ ing today. Commenting on the Cox
speech, Mr.. Reynolds said:
"He frankly St,frns over for the en-
tire term Of the next administration,
if it shall chance to be democratic.
the leadership and domination OF
party and policies to President Will
son.
"As to the league, Gov. Cox has in
mind only SUCH perfectly colorless
and ineffective reservations as will In
no wise weaken the underlying terms
of the covenant. Under his statement
everything that is implied in article
x. would remain.
"He stands for the concentration of
governmental power in a one man
executive. That of course. is pre-
cisely the Wilson attitude, and the
protest against that view is appar-
emily the most powerful auctuating
motive In the public mind today. II
Gov. Cox should be elected we would
have ahead Of us four years of Coy
ernment under the policies of VIII
son, more or less nominally admin
istered by Mr.. Cox as proxy for
Mr.. Wilson"
Senator Harding sent greetings to
the republican state convention at
Dallas, Tex.
"It would herald a new era in Am
erican politics." he wired, "to have
the great state of Texas to lead in a
new political alignment in the south
land, with all its measureess possibi-
lities.'
