frow Be Held In RusseiIviIle,
Ark. Tomorrow; Died Sud-
denly on Monday Night.
(By The United Press.)

Bentonville, Ark, Feb. Funeral
services for w. C. Renrrow. third
territorial governor of Oklahoma,
who died here suddenly Monday
night, will be held at Russellville
tomorrow
Burial of the former territorial
chief Of Oklahoma will be made be-
side the body of his wife in the
Russellville cemetery. He was rs
years old. Death came to him while
he was seated in a hotel lobby here
He passed away before physicians
could reach him.
1t was early in the administration
of Grover Cleveland as president
that Renfrow was appointed terri
torial governor of Oklahoma. He
came from his home at Norman,
succeeding Andrew J. Seay.
Renfrow was a native of North
Carolina, had been a confederate
soldier, and was living in Arkansas
when Oklahoma was opened to set
tlement in 1889. Soon afterward, he
came to the new territory, and was
a banker at Norman when named
governor. Prior to that time, he
had been interested in the Missouri
Oklahoma zinc fields, at Joplin and
Miami.
With Renfrow's advent into office
as governor, in 1893, one of the most
sweeping changes in all territorial
and federal offices in the history Of
Oklahoma was made. He was sue
ceeded by Cassius M. Barnes in 1897
when Mckinley became president.
The death of former Governor
Renfrow leaves four former gov
ernors of Oklahoma Territory alive.
The living former governors are
George w. Steele, who lives in In
diana; Cassius B. Barnes, who lives
in Kansas; w. M. Jenkins, who lives
at Sapulpa, and is court clerk of
Creek county, and Frank Frantz,
who lives in Denver, Colo. Andrew
J. Seay, the second territorial gov
ernor, died many years ago, and

Treaty Is Announced.

(By The United prcss)
Continental Hall, Washington, Feb
1.-The great five power naval mil
itation treaty, scaling down the ships
of war. creating naval holiday and
providing basis for a sounder world
peace. was presented TO the plenary
session OF the arms conference today
for the approval of the world.
In the same hall where on Novem
ber ~, Charles Il. Hughes. secretary
OF state OF the United States, pre-
sented his bombshell proposal for
the scrapping OF vast number OF
capital ships. he today gave to the
world the finished product.
Officials believe that this docu.
ment, which, written on the scrolls
of time, is destined to be hailed as
the worlds most successful curb on
competitive ornaments, up to the
twentieth century. s.
The contents of the document
which the grayer. wearier Hughes to.
day presented. was known in gen.
eral to the world. Today, however,
was its first official release.
Rounding 1t out, with another
treaty banning submarine as attack
ers Of commerce on the high seas.
This, II was pointed out, would elimi-
nate the possibility of repetitions of
the Lusitania disaster, the ship that
was sent to the bottom by German
submarine.
This treaty also banishes the use
of poison gases in war, eliminating
what is considered to be the most
destructive and inhuman mode of at
tack among the armies of the world
war
Under the terms of the treaty the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan will scrap 6S capital ships of
total tonnage Of 1,S61,643. Provi-
sions are made for the amount of
tonnage each of the three nations
mentioned would scrap.
The smaller number of ships to
be junked by France and Italy con-
tribute to make these figures even
higher. The treaty also starts
ten-year naval holiday, with a few
exceptions in capital ship building
dating from November IL, 1921.
There are few changes in the
treaty as presented today from the
original proposals made by the
American delegation to the arms par
ley at the opening of the conference.

cold beads of perspiration took their
places on the respective countenances

cat walked majestically onto the
