Oklahoma City, Okl., Sept. 16.—Im position of martial law over Okla homa moved slowly through the pre liminary steps today. With the exception of Oklahoma City, the entire state awaited the first evidences of the coming military rule proclaimed by Gov. J. C. Walton last night, as the climax to his fight on the Ku Klux Klan. Troops were mobilized here, police authority taken over by the National guard and a set of regulations gov erning the city was being prepared by Lieut. Col. William H. Keys of Wewoka, commanding local troops. Ray Frazier, chief of police, and Ed Snelseon, assistant chief, were de posed by an order of Lieutenant & Colonel Keys, and Capt. ^Nelson J. Moore of the One Hundred Sixtieth supply company of Tulsa was placed In charge of the department. Captain Moore Is a police captain at Tulsa. 300 Troops Under Arms. Approximately 300 troops are un der arms here tonight. At an early hour none had left the armory ex cept two men detailed to patrol duty at the central police station. In Sapulpa, county seat of Creek county, which, with Oklahoma coun ty, was placed under “absolute mar tial law” In the proclamation Issued last night by Governor Walton, no evidence of martial rule had been seen after a day of waiting. Both the sheriff's office and the police depart ment were functioning normally and no troops had been mobilized. In Muskogee, recently a center of Governor Walton anti-Ku Klux Klan campaign, the condition was the same. The Nalonal guard armory was de serted and the city was following Its usual Sunday routine. King Fisher and Caddo counties, in both of which the governor recently pushed Investigations into the alleged mob outrages, likewise reported no evidence of the coming of the mill tary. District Judge George W. Clark of Oklahoma City, in whose court a grand Jury is scheduled to meet to morrow, declared today that the im position of military rule would not cause him to cancel the call. Judge Clark asserted that he did not oe lieve the grand jury would be pro hibited by the military and that ho would convene it without asking spe cial permission from military authori ties. Illegal Action Claimed. Special interest has attached to the | grand jury In view of the fact that it was called in response to petitions i harging Governor Walton with using state employes to check signatures of an initiated petition for an election on a constitutional amendment to grant the state legislature specific authority to convene without call by the governor. Sush use of state 9 employes, it was charged in the graud jury 'petition, is in violation of the law. The question of a special session of tlie legislature has been vexing admin istration leaders several months. Sev en}! members of the legislature have declared their belief that the body has authority to convene itself pro vided business other than law making is considered. When the agitation became more pro nounced last week Governor Walton issued a warning to members of the legislature not to attempt to hold an extra session and-, threatened llgisla tors with jail "for the remainder of his term” if they ignored his orders. Efforts today to communicate with leaders of the Ku Klux Klan failed. Not one of them could be located. Eye-Witnesses to Tellini Murder Are Arrested By Universal Nervlee.

Romance pales and hearts grow cold In the great outdoors of the west: Where rugged life on barren wastes, Futs love to Its hardest test— And, the census bureau offers facts and figures to prove it. Last year in the 11 states that make up the mountain, desert and coast section that lies west of the great grain belt of the plains, there was one divorce for every five mar riages, 4.99 to be absolutely correct. Six years before, in 1916, there was one divorce for every 5.02 marriages.

Dun Sur Meuse, France, Sept. 16.— Speaking here today Premier Poin care sounded the death knell of all hope that Germany's new- offer will be accepted as a basis for discussion or new negotiations by the French government.

Bahamas Get Rich by Smuggling Rum to United States Nassau Public Debt Wiped Out and Many Millionaires Made by Flouting Pro hibition Laws. By lolTfrol Smlw London. Sept. 16—The amazing prosperity which has come to the Ba hamas as a result of the liquor traf fic between Nassa uand the United States is the topic of the fifth article in the "bootlegging series" by H. Dewinton Wigley. in the London Daily News. Fortunes of hundred* of rum run ners have been built up with incred ible speed, while the revenue of the government has Increased by leaps and bounds. He Instances one case of a poor mulatto who specialized In rye whisky, for which there is an "enormous demand in "America." This mulatto Is now a millionaire, living in a palatial home, driving an expensive car. and living hgh. Another man scrawl up enough money to buy a small ocean going boat to smuggle liquor to rum row. He soon founded a regal fortune. Hundreds of others have amassed so much money as rum runners that they are now able to live In affluence, owning luxurious homes, yachts and autos. 1 The public debt of Nassau has been wiped out as a result of the flood of prosperity due to prohibition in the I’nited States, the total revenue of the government increasing from H#. 000 in 1918 to 83.125.000 this year In 1917 Nassau cleared 37.821 gallons of liquor. In 1922 she exported to the United States alone 1,340.443 gal lons. As a result of thia unparalled pros perity Nassau has a magnificent new hotel built by an American concern, which was loaned 31,350.000 by the llahaman government. Many man sions are being built, electric lighting systems installed, u new water sup ply completed, new roads are being constructed and the harbor deepened. The surplus funds of the colony at the end of 1922 amounted to 31.300. OOO. The Nassau development board in its official report issued this year admits that this unprecedented pros perity is dug* to prohibition in the United States. Wigley close* his articles by charg ing that, except for a small amount of liquor consumed locnily, every drop goes to America, and asks a question which he say* I* sure to come up in parlla ment: "How much of the huge profits be ing made by, violating the laws of America go to the mysterious finan cial backers In London mid Glasgow 'f the rum runners In the Bahamas?"

Surrender in Ruhr Is Full of Peril Harsh Terms by France, if Accepted, Threaten to Lead to Repetition of Italian and Spanish Upsets. Cabinet’s Hold Is Weak New York, Sept. 16.—Germany i* expecting and awaiting a dictator. This is the word of Kart H. Von Welgand, a newspaper correspondent now on a visit to his home In the United States after long service in central and eastern Eurdpe. The Germans, always praised as ehr most order-loving people io the woeio, have had five years of turmoil an& dis orders since the end of the war. Five revolutlons, not to mention the suf fering of an eight months’ bloodless war against French militarism, has been their portion. They are sick of excitement, of discord, of turbulence and disorder, weary of political ex: periments, policies and forces whieh have served but to divide the people, disrupt the nation and plunge the country deeper and deeper into misery. The rebound is on and rapidly gaining momentum. The Germans are look ing for the man who can £nd will stop all this. Failure in Ruhr Menacing. Dictatorship would have been Ger many’s lot ere this had the dictator shown up. Since the dismal failure of the 111 prepared revolutionary at tempt of Kapp, General Von Duet twitx, Colonel Max Bauer, called "Father of ths big Berthas.” which bombarded Paris, and Captain Ehr hardt of the marines, to establish a dictatorship in March. 19J9, no one has been able to muster the courage nor had the dash and daring to s- t himself up as a dictator. None of ti e aspirants whether communistic *v nationalistic, have felt that they ha consolidated sufficient forces be hi. them to make another trial. Mussolini's success In Italy p v« the dictatorship movement in many its first real encouragemen-.
