 Judge Olson said he started an ln- yestigation Immediately after the death, but refused to state what caused him to become suspicious The coroner's office made public an an onymous letter received two weeks ago in which t belief was expressed that McClntOck had been poisoned The letter said that had McClintock married before his death, disposal other than that provided for in the win would have been made Of his fortune.

 Prayers of Thank sgi ing.
 Simultaneously the Pope, standing erect on the throne, chanted prayers Of thanksgiving for having granted him grace for inaugurating the Holy Year and the Sistine choir sang the sublime music Of Palestine Then the Pope. holding lighted candle in his left hand and a cross in his right, went to the Holy Door and knelt on its threshold, spging the re Deum. The Pontllf was the first to cross the threshold, followed by Cardinals Bis

 Plus then went into the chapel Of the Pieta, where he entrusted the custody of the Holy Door for the en- suing year 10 the religious brother
 hoods of Rome. In 50 doing he de- livered an address in which he re- called the meanings of tho Holy Year and the Holy Door. He ex-

 After a short rest the Pope again entered the Sedia Gastatoria and, in the same procession as that preced- ing the opening of the Holy Door, was carried to the altar of the con- lcsson in the center of the baslica , directly underneath the great dome. Standing on the altar, the Holy Father, after having read the ritual ! formula of the benediction, impart- ed the apostolic blessing to the kneeling multitude. Afterward, Car dinals Bisleti and Lega read in the i Latin and Italian languages the formula of the plennry indulgences , granted for the jubilee year. , This over, His Holiness, still car . ried in the same procession, retired

ID EXHUME BODY
 OF VIM. M'CLINTOCk
Determine Cause of Death Of
 "MiliOnaire Orphan'

Chicago, Dec 2i.--The body of William McCllntock, "millionare or- phan," will be eXhumed possibly to- day, to determine whether typhoid fever, as indicated in the death ccr- tifcate, killed him three weeks ago while Miss Isabelle Pope, his tlancc, waited at his bedside with a mar riage license.
 Robert F.. Grove, states attorney and Oscar Wolff, coroner, who have started an exhaustive inquiry into his death at the instance Of Harry Olson, chief justice of the municipal court, said pathoogIsts would make special examinations for poison or other foreign matter In the vital organs.
 The death occurred a few months after McClintock became of age and took possession of Sl.OO0,0O for tune left by his mother when he was four years old. In his will signed a few days after he reached 2l, the entire estate was left to William D.. Shepherd, an attorney, whose wife was the youths co-guardian with A.. r. Richman, also an attorney, eX- cept provision was made for an $S,- 700 life annuity for Mss Pope.
 McClintock had lived with the Shepherds since his mothers death and died at their home. According
 
 to Dr. Rufus E. s*olp, who signed the death certificate, severe case of hemorrhaGic typhoid, probably con- tracted from eating oysters, caused death.
 Mir. Shepherd, visiting friends in Albuquerque, N. M., with his wife, declared over long distance telephone to q Chicago newspaper last night that "the boy died natural death and there is no reason for an inves- tigation." He said he had planned 10 return here in a week or two but might return at once.
 The Shepherds went 10 New MeXi- co, their pastor told states attorneys last night, on his advice to rest and recover from the shock of the death of McClintock, who loved them as a

 The arrival of the Pope in the portico was heraldcd by the six sill yer trumpets sounding the celebrat ed pontifcaI march composed by Longhi.

 Rome, Dec. 24.--Pope Plus, NJ,
 srpeunded by the splendor of medic
 val pageantry customary for such
 occasions, today proclaimed from the
 Vatican the twenty-thIfd Holy Year fin the history Of the Papacy and performed the picturesque ceremony in knocking down the Holy Door of the basilica Of St. Peter's with the symbolic solid gold hammer.
 The Pontiff thus initiated q series Of ceremonies which are expected to

The regal magnificence of today's ceremony, the richness of the pontl- fical robes the .multicolored uni forms of the various branches of the Vatican forces, and the draperies and canopies that lent grandeur lm- printed on the minds of the favored hundreds who saw the ceremony at close range and the hundreds Of others who filled the spacious basil lea and oycrflowed into the expan- sive square in front.

on casters that previously had been attached, the news was proclaimed by the pealing Of the bells of tho great Mother church. in which tho bells of all the other 400 churches of the Eternal City joined.
 The inhabitants of Rome usually are more or less indifferent toward ceremonies in St. Peters which pill grims from afar would almost give a right arm to see, but the ritual of opening the Holy Door, coming as 1t does every 25 years, was enough today to lit the occasion far above the ordinary, It therefore served as "a magnet not only for the thousan Is Of Pilgrims and tourists who already have arrived but also for tens of thousands of Romans who can see the great dome of Michaelangelo any time as they go about their daily tasks.
 All around the portico, even under ! the statue of Constantine, were 'tri- | bunes and boxes decorated in red and gold for the diplomatic corps, the Roman arist ocracy, the Order of
 Malta, the family of the Pope. and one section reserved for members of i visiting royal families. In a special
 place facing the throne was erect ed stand for the Sistine choir, con- ducted by Abbe Lorenzo Perosi. and for the six heralds with their six famous silver trumpets for announce

 The main aisle of the basiica had been railed off, leaving 1t free for
 the papal procession, while the re- mainder of the interior was reserved for the public.

between capitalist and worker for re-
adjustment, the one fighting for pro-
fits and power, the other for his very
life. Fundamentally the issue at stake
is not the question of who snan work,
or how long, or for how much--the
real issue concerns that which gives
to one man the power to decide the
very conditions of life for thousands
of others.
His fright" to decide this question
is based upon his technical Owner
ship" of the machinery of production,
machinery that is created and oper-
ated by labor. His power to decide
the question depends on two factors
first, upon his control of the govern
ment which protects by force of arms
his possessions. Second, upon the de-
gree of organized power on the part
of the workers and upon their con-
seriousness of that power and their
readiness to use it against both the
capitalist and his state in the win
ming of their goal.

The rich Russian market is diplo-

stay that way our factories are idle,
when European capitalism revives, on

claim that workers displaced by this

Another Peace Conference

Since the Versailles treaty was signed, there
have been held less than seventeen international
peace gatherings The League of Nations is now
planning to convoke the eighteenth in June, 1925.
Germany and Soviet Russia will be asked to
participate in order to make effective the decisions
the various naval and military disarma-
ment plans that may be proposed at the conference
One need not be a political prophet to state, al
most year in advance that this conference is
doomed to failure. The League of Nations has been
organized and has served as an instrument of war.
Since it's birth, the decisions of the League of Ma
tons have been mere paper decisions. Insofar as
the powers that dominate the League have been
directing the politics of Europe, they have been
turning them into channels leading towards an
other world carnage.
Calling in Soviet Russia and Germany only in
dicates the total bankruptcy of the League of Ma
lions an effective force in international politics.
1t is a monument to the collapse of the insdious
campaign waged by this same League of imperial
ist plunderers against the Soviet Republic The
call to Soviet Russia is positive proof that the
French, British and italian capitalists frankly
recognize the failure of their policy of setting up
puppet, fraudulent republics and militarist ciques
in the so-called new nationalities.
OF course Germany is asked to enter the League
and lend legal sanction to its decisions. Now that
the allied financial Overords are to have a first
mortgage on the industries and resources of what
was once Germany, it becomes douby imperative
to secure the fiction of Germany's voluntary as
sent to its being deyoured economically by the en-
ploying class interests of the victorious countries
We have seen too many peace conferences of the
war makers to hesitate venturing an estimate Of
their real worthessness in international relations.

Communists Against Law.

The Communists opposed the pres
emit immigration law. We knew that
its promises of economic benefits to
the workers were false; this coun-
try is rich enough in industrial and
economic resources to shelter the
working population of the whole
world. Our prediction of hard times
with or without immigration has come
true.
We opposed particularly those sec
tions which the masters were most
anxious to enact, providing govern
mental spy machinery for the weed
ing out of "undesirables" abroad and
the bounding and possible deporta-
ton of such as manage to slip thru.
We know that the very elements
branded as undesirable" by our CAPT
talist enemy would be of greatest val
ne to the labor movement. We know
that there will be upheavals in Eu-
ropes present unstable condition, we
are realists enough to acknowledge,
that the workers may be defeated in
some of them. And we know our own
government we'll enough to realize
that when revolutionary fugitives
cross the ocean with white terror
price upon their heads, there will be
no quota law exceptions on their be-
half.
The workers of no country can pros
per permanently upon the exploita-
ton and degradation of their fellow
workers of other lands. 1t is the es-
sence of capitalist economy that the
worker must produce more than he
