One county is still uncertain and five report through officials that they will not permit an election being held. in Murray county, of which Sulphur is the county seat, the military is reported to have for bidden the election. In Madill, Marshall county, six of the gov eroner’s “minute men” were ar rested when they attempted to seize election supplies. Reports from other counties indicated the state was quiet, but tense on the eve of Tuesday’s “show down.” Gklahoma City, Oct. 1.—Military orders ordering special peace offi cers -to disarm by command of Gov. J. C. WaltoR^commander in chief of the military, were defied here Mon day night by Sheriff Tom Cavnar, who has deputized 3,500 men in Ok lahoma county “to see that the peo ple vote Tuesday and to preserve the peace." The governor’s order issued on the eve of Tuesday’s" special elec tion, applies to the entire state. It provides that only legally constituted or regularly paid officers—sheriffs, deputies, federal agents or state of ficers—be permitted to carry arms. It forbids absolutely the sale of firearms or ammunition. Immediate arrest is -rdered for violation. When le order was served on Sheriff Cavnar he was attending a meeting of 2,000 election workers gathered in the county court house. He read the order slowly and aloud. Crowd Cheers Defiance “I won’t order any special depu ties to disarm in spite of the gov ernor and threat of arrest,” he said. There were cheers. • “The courthouse will be guarded," said the hsheriff. “No one will 'be allowed to leave the building until those with ballot boxes and supplies have left.” Election workers then filed out with election machinery, undermann ed guard, and will remain on hand all night and during Tuesday’s at tempted voting. Calls Special Election Governor Walton Monday night issued a call for a special election December 6, on initiative petition No. 79, which, if passed, would em power the state legislature to as semble itself for the purpose of in stituting impeachment proceedings against the chief executive. “I was challenged to leave this measure to the tribunal of the peo ple,” the governor said, in explaining his sudden announcement of the call. “I accept that challenge and fix the date as December 6.” Despite this maneuver of the gov ernor’s, leaders of the anti-Walton group announced they would ignore the call and proceed with Tuesday's election as determined upon. “He accepts the challenge,” said W. D. McBee, “too late. He can meet it Tuesday, not 60 days from now. Walton is whipped and he knows it.” It is (therefore certain that the the state wide special election, on No. 79 and the other five referendum amendments, will be held Tuesday, in defiance of the governor’s order of postponement and threat of arms and his latest call for the initiative elec tion December 6. i/iasn narrowly Mvertea As a consequence, thunder clouds I of war rolled across Oklahoma Mon day night. The state is torn with conflict and mounting passion. Opposing forces stand as two arm ed camps-—Walton’s “minute men,” and civilian volunteers against thou sands of “vigilantes” swiftly recruit ed and deputized all over the state by sheriffs who, obeying the attorney general’s orders, say the election shall not^be stopped. Already armed men of both sides have met on the verge of violence, in Oklahoma City, where Sheriff Tom Cavnar and 27 deputies-met and dis persed five “minute men” sent by the governor to seiz^ election supplies, and in Tulsa, where SherifT Bob San ford engaged in a similar brush. Before this gathering menace, the Ministerial Alliance of Oklahoma City moved Monday night for com promise and peace. Bed by Rev. Forney Hutchinson, pastor of the First Methodist church south, the governor’s place of wor ship, a committee from the alliance Daughters of Italian King and Queen Better -£r By Universal oervice. Milan, Italy, Oct. 1. —Princess Gio vanni, daughter of the King and Queen of Italy, who, with her sis ter has been at death's door for sev eral days, is slightly better. The physicians state that she is not yet out of danger, owing to hemorrhages Sunday. Princess Mafald.t is also much bet ter, but is not yet safe from the dan ger of complications. I - - -- called at the executive mansion to offer mediation between both obdur ate factions. The governor was out. Col. H. B. Daley, his aide and confidante, told the committee there was "no com promise In the governor's system.” To illustrate that, it was announced officially that the governor had re moved John T. Ix5gan, a member of the state election board, in an at tempt to gain its control. Action Held Up The secretary of state, however, refused to file the final discharge or to receive Walton’s appointee, Ira Mitchell, and the chief executive's action was held in abeyance pend ing a decision from Attorney Gener al Short. Throughout Oklahoma, save in the southwest counties and in a few isolated districts, the sheriffs of Oklahoma revolted against the gov ernor’s order for seizure of election machinery and declared they would use their authority to protect It, ac cording to reports filtering in from all parts of the state. As another move to balk the gov ernor ip^his power to use the Okla homa national guard "in case of riot,” District Judge Hunt of 'fulsa granted an injunction thefe Tuesday prohibiting militiamen, officers or men, from interfering with the elec tion. Warned Not to Interfere Meanwhile, orders were broadcast throughout the state that anyone in terfering or attempting to interfere with the election would be "placed under immediate arrest and kept in jail until the election is held.” To support this, Attorney General Short issued a proclamation notify ing county attorney’s "to see that peace is preserved if humanly pos sible” and to do everything to "pre vent riot, rout or Interference with this legal election.” While Oklahoma City and Tulsa were policed with specially deputized "vigilantes,” with sheriff Cavnar saying here that he would “draft and deputize every able bodied man in the county above the age of 21, if necessary,” less well-protected towns and counties are clamoring to Gqv ernor Walton for protection with the national guard. Walton Responds Some of these the governor has responded to. At Norman, Okla., seat of the state university, dis patches to Universal Service ' ad vise that national guard troops have been moved into the armory and are being field "in readiness for any eventuality Tuesday’s crisis may bring forth.” The troops were based on orders from the state capital, the dispatch said. Reports were also received from Marshall county, McCurtain county and other districts where Walton is said to have control, to the effect that ballot boxes and election sup lies hare already been seized and that the polls will not open. Combating that, Campbell Rus sell, former chairman of the state corporation commission, issued a telegraphic statement throughout Oklahoma that legal elections may be held, even though county and precinct officials refuse to function. “The citizens may go to the polls, select their own election officials and write their own ballots under the laws of Oklahoma,” Russell said. “Use a dishpan or a washtub for a ballot box, if necessary,” he advised. Will Votes be Legal? While tlus prime issue focused up on Tuesday is whether or not the election can be held w’ithout vio lence—there is no doubt that an election will be attempted—the ul timate question goes farther than that: “Will the votes cast be legal?” Governor Walton asserts not. He has invalidated them by his proc lamation, he declares. "It will be nothing more than the futile gesture of the Ku Klux Klan,” he said. "It is a concerted fight by the Ku Klux Klan for the con trol iof this state, and Oklahoma shall not surrender its society to this invisible power. “The klan, as an issue, is a cam flouge to befog the real facts of the case, that Jack Walton is fight ing for his political life,” said W. D.‘ McBee, leader of the legislators, the governor calls "rebels and klan conspirators.” "Tuesday we will dethrone a demigod a*d restore democratic government in Oklahoma,” McBee added. * Petition 79 vital Question In the election itself, “petition No. 79“ stands out as the vital ques tion. If "No. 79” carries, the antt Waltonltes will claim a triumph and1 the downfall of the governor himself, for that initiative petition is aimed to give the legislature the power to assemble itself. Once assembled, impeachment pro ceedings will be instituted against Walton at once, and there is scarce ly a political observer in the state, including the governor's friends, who does not acknowledge that meet ing of the legislature is tantlmount to impeachment. However, the tangle would not end there, in the opinion of a great many persons conversant with state affairs. Governor Walton, already declar ing the election invalid, would not recognize the right of the legisla ture to meet, would attempt to dis perse that and would refuse to surrender his office under such an impeachment, it is reliably report ed. Rail Traffic Resumed Over South Sioux Span Flood waters of the Missouri river had receded to a point Mon day morning where crews were able to repair the water damaged section of the Chicago and Northwestern roadbed leading to the South Sioux bridge. All traffic over the bridge was resumed Monday, after having been suspended since Saturday night. % _✓ _ MRS.

Y., Oct. 1.—"You can depend upon it. this case is going to be more sensational than the Ward case." Coroner Edward F. Fitzgerald made this announcement Monday after a long conference with District Attorney Arthur Howland on the death of wealthy Mrs. Gertie Gorman Webb who, it is believed, was poison ed. A short time afterwards Charles I H. Webb, husband of the dead wom an, arrived here to tell the district attorney the story of his married life. Webb was accompanied by counsel.

It was In the handwriting of Howard Thayer Kingsbury, attorney for Webb and also his cousin, and was executed August 21, when Mrs. Webb was a patient in Roosevelt hospital. FRENCH RUSH TO AID SEPARATISTS _ Tighten Control at Dussel dorf Following Sunday Fighting in Streets By Universal Service Dusseldorf, Oct. 1.—The French military Monday proclaimed a state of siege for Dusseldorf, but the city Monday night wore a normal as- j pect. The French report Sunday’s casu alties at 10 killed and 200 wounded, when the crowds attending the meeting of the Rhineland separa tists were fired on in the streets. The German version of the out break Sunday maintains that the security police, whom the French hold responsible for starting the shooting, made no move until a civilian policeman had been killed by the separatist ‘‘self-protection police.” This force, says a statement issued by the city authorities attacke(K.the blue pollcejnan, took away his sword and had begun to beat him when the security police appeared. Thereupon a shot was fired, the Germans, al lege, by the separatists. This brought out of the rest of the green force and the pitched battle followed.

PUPILS MISLED, FEDERATION OF LABORCHARGES Organizations Attempting to Influence Educational Methods Censured KU KLUX UNDER FIRE —■■■ + • Figures Presented Conven tion Show Big Decrease in Membership - V BY WILLIAM L. BLI8S Universal Service Correspondent Portland, Ore., Oct.—Among the Important problems which have been taken up by the American Federa tion of Labor, and the consideration of which will be among the tasks_of the convention which opened here Monday, is the education of chil dren in social studies. Following the keynote speech of President Samuel Gompers In which he demanded legislation for the protection of children, the report of the American Federation of Labor committee on education was made public. The report was prepared by a special committee appointed to investigate the selecting or prepar ing and publishing of text books for classes of workers. The report states that charges have been reiterated that social and economic studies as taught in pub lic schools are “lacking in that broad inclusive vision that reflects the common life." School Propaganda Charged The report purports to present facts on social studies In public schools Indicating what is wrong with textbooks and instruction. “In recent years there has been well authenticated report)! that sel fish Interests are seeking to use tha public schools for propaganda pur poses, and are undermining the dig nity and Independence of the teach ing profession,” the report says. “Such activities strike at the very heart of successful democracy, and tend to tear down the useful ness of the structure of public edu cation which the members of organ ized labor, in common with other public spirited citizens, have striven to build up. “A manifestation of the attempt to restrict public school teaching, which is both menacing and unde niable, is the array of scattered cases throughout the country where teachers or other 'educational au thorities have actually been dls~ missed or suspended for holding views distasteful to industrial and financial groups, or even for Join ing teachers' unions. “Most of the pressure has come from local bodies such as Chambers of Commerce, Rotary clubs and the like.” Lists "Enemy" Organizations The report names the following national organizations as attempt ing to influence the public schools from their special poihts of view: Profession associations, American Federation of^ Teachers, National Council for the Social Studies. Na tion Education association, Philan thropic education bodies, Qarnaale Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Educational Alliance, Gen eral Education board (founded by John D. Rockefeller), National Com mittee for teaching bltfeenship, Progressive Education association,, American Bankers’ association, American Civic association, “Amer ica First" Publicity association, American Legion. Better America Federation, CVhamber of Commerce of the United States, International Association of Rotary clubs, Inter Ruclal council, National American council, National Association for Constitutional Government, Nation al Association of Manufacturers, National Industrial conference board, National Security League. The report says that “the American labor movement could not want edu cation to be Influenced by parisan bodies of any kind, and does not wish to exert the samp kind of influence which reactionary organizations are attempting to exercise." Misleading Statements Alleged. Under the heading of "Misstate ments of fact, or misleading state ments of fact,” the report says that “in several texts the strike activities of unions are so inextricably bound up with the demonstrations of an archists that the student who is given no other basis for judgment is very apt to confuse the legitimate efforts of workers to allaviate conditions with anarchistic activities.” President Gompers in his speech, referring to the repeal of the child labor law by the United States su preme court said, “we have been sacrificing women and children bf the United States on the altar of mammon. To say that the constitu tion is impotent to protect the child ren of our time is begging the ques tion. The courts have declared that laws which were passed by congress for the protection of minors from un due exploitation are void That thj Indiana Senator Says He’s Not Presidency Candidate Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 1.—(u.

The executive council, after three lengthy sessions laid down the law unequivocally to the rebellious ele ment of the northwest by ordering the Seattle central labor council either to obey the laws and policies of the American Federation of Labor or forfeit its charter. The action of the council in this matter is general ly considered as equal to revoking the charter, because no one expects the Seattte body to abide by the decision. The Seattle organization has 30 days in which to make good. If it does not make good in that time, the charter will be lifted and a new organization will be put in the field under American Federation of Labor auspfcies. 4444444444-r44444444 4- ♦ 4 FRENCHMAN PROCLAIMS 4 4 SIXTH SENSE DISCOVERY. 4 4 By Universal Service. 4 4 Paris, Oct. 1.—Professor Richet, 4 4 of the Academy of Medicine, an- 4 4 nounces the discovery of the 4 4 “sixth sense”, which he has bap- 4 4 tized “cryptacahesia” and which 4 4 is an "intuitive perception of un- 4 4 truths.” 4 4 “The sixth sense is especially 4 4 developed in women,” says the 4 4 professor, "who nine times out 45 4 of 10 are able to discern when 4 4 their husbands are lying to 4 4 *Kam ” X 444444444444444444444
