FOR OKLAHOMA. NOT
THE PARTY

Rumors of deadlock between
Republicans and Democrats in
the legislature are reported to be
circulating freely in Oklahoma
City. When the two branches
get down TO work, the rumct is.
the Republicans of the house ma-
jority will attempt to put through
special measures for party al
vantage. In return, the story
goes, the Democratic senate will
refuse to pass not only RepuDii-
can partisan proposals but also
the necessary state maintenance
and appropriation bills. Adjourn
ment is seen as a likely result
OF such situation.
II there be any substantiation
for the rumor, public opinion II
the state, regardless Of party al
filiation, cannot begin TOO soo1
TO muster its strength TO fore
stall such futile procedure. The
legislature is convened to serve
Oklahoma: and not the Republi-
can or Democratic party. The
good citizens Of this state will de-

the News. that public opinion, regard

Gin too soon to muster its strength

Sorrowing Naples and Italy paid
tribute Thursday TO the memory
OF Enrico Caruso. the great tenor
who died there early Monday morn
ing. Thousands gathered at a sol
emn requiem mass or stood uncoy-
cred along the streets while the
funeral cortege passed. In the choir
which assisted in the impressive
ceremonies were many men and
women who have played stellar
roles on the operatic stage. Scenes
of extreme pathos were enacted all
day Tuesday at the Hotel Vesuvius
following the death of the man pop
ularly acknowledged to be the pre-
mier tenor of his generation. Nea-
politans of every class stood in line
for many hours to file past the bier
of Carnso. which was placed in the
room where he had died. From
time TO time the silent procession
would pause while some man or
woman would kneel for a moment
beside the body and offer prayer.
From Naples II was cabled We'd
nesday that at the last moment II
was decided that the burial should
not take place uptil Thursday. BY
special permission of King Victor
Emmanuel, services were held in
the basilica OF the Church of San
francesca di Paola, famous edi-
fee resembling the Pantheon at
Rome and constructed by Ferdinand
+. in 1871. After this ceremony
the body was taken TO the cemetery
and placed in the family vault.

KNIGHTS AT FRISCO.

Archbishop Edward Hanna, ol
San Francisco, celebrated the sol
emn mass with which the knights
of Columbus convention opened
Tuesday at the old Dolores mission
after which Mayor James Rolph, Jr.
heading delegation of 800 prom
inent San Franciscans, presented
| Supreme Knight Flaherty with the
keys of the city at a public recep'
| tion in the Civic Center attended by
delegations of the American Legion
Veterans of Foreign Wars. Spanish
War Veterans. G. A. r. and many
women's organizations. More than
10000 X. of C. delegates and Wis
itors were in San Francisco for the
convention.
Opening the convention Supreme
Knight Flaherty stated that the X
of G. had enjoyed the most pros
porous and effective year in its his
tory and that its chief activities to
be planned and launched at the San
Francisco meeting were the cam
paign to spend the $5,000,000 bal
ance of the K. of G. war fund on
disqualification work for disabled
veterans, the initiation of the X. OF
C. American history work and the
Inauguration of the knights anti
tuberculosis campaign. A committee
of nationally known educators was
present, he said, to lay before the
convention plans for the immediate
launching of the largest correspond
ence school in America to be con-
Quoted by the X. of G. for the
benefit of former service men desir-
ing technical training.
Supreme knight Flaherty made
public an appeal received from Pope
Benedict for the X of G. to intro
duce American welfare work into
Italy, to stimulate friendship be-
tween the two countries and to pro-
tect the faith of Italian youth. He
announced that the Knights would
raise at least 81 100000 among
themselves to inaugurate this work
in Rome. "Our duty 1t plain" he
said. 'Tt is the first direct assign
ment that any body of laymen has
ever received from the head of the
church. We have already directed
X. of C. Commissioner Edward l..
Hearn of New York to proceed to
Rome to advise with His Holiness
on the introduction of the work.
He also sent a cablegram of con-
dolence to Enrico Caruso's widow,
saying that before the singer left
New York the last time he had
praised highly the work OF the
knights of Columbus.
James A. Flaherty, of Philadel-
phia, was named for the seventh

of the knights of Columbus. The

DEVELOPMENTS ARE IMMINENT

No real developments in the Irish
situation have been reported this
week, despite the many plausible
and conflicting rumors that have
been cabled. While official state
ments are still lacking on both sides
of the Irish controversy, the at
mosphere of Downing street on
Monday was charged with belief
that an important development in
the peace negotiations is impend-
ing. In all quarters optimism is at
high pitch and few informed per-
sons are found who do not express
confidence that a settlement is in the
making and ireland will accept the
terms OF within the Empire Domin-
ion status which is said to be the
germ of Great Britain's offer to the
Sinn Fein. For time 1t seemed
that the decision of Eamonn de
Valera and his colleagues on Pre-
mier David Lloyd Georges pro-
posals was about to break. This
was when word came from Dublin
that De Valera expected to return
to London Thursday.
On the heels of this announce
ment. however. came a dispatch
from the Irish capital which quoted
President de Valera as saying that
he had no intention of coming to
England this week and that no ar
ran gements for second visit at
Downing street had been made,
Another Of Mondays nurries
came with a rumor that Daii
Eireann had been summoned 10
meet in Dublin Thursday Again the
Irish capital upset the report by
declaring that neither the Repub-
lican Cabinet nor Dali Eireann con-
templated session this week.
Although the British Government
continues silent except to announce
that the answer of the Sim Fein
TO the Premier's peace plan has
NOT been received there is no doubt
In the minds OF persons close to
Cabinet members that Commons has
passed on the vital subject between
Downing street and the Mansion
House in Dublin. England and Ire
land are said to have felt each
others pulse and the fact that both
sides express high optimism IS
taken here as harbinger that the
Irish truce, which is observed
strictly on both sides, will be
crowned by lasting peace

t;ations between Prime Minister
