Under the provisions of the fore going instructions, men from Camps Dodge, Grant and Funston, and also local members of the American Le gion, patrolled the streets last night. The men are each equipped with 200 rounds of ammunition, and each ma chine gun has a supply of . 6,000 rounds. Rendezvous have been es tablished at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets, Auditorium, court house, city hall, and Twenty-fourth and Q streets. The men have been instructed to arrest civilians carrying weapons, concealed or otherwise. No large groups or mass meetings will be per mitted. , . Not Martial Law. While Omaha is in charge of the military, martial law does not ex ist in its full meaning. General Wood explained yesterday that the functions of the civil courts would not be disturbed; that the military authority will be extended only to protect life and property. County Attorney A. V. Shotwell conferred with the general yesterday afternoon on the matter of co-ordinating the office of the county prosecutor with the federal government. All members of the local police department are subject to the direc tions of General Wood. Police Com missioner Ringer and Chief of Po lice Eberstein reported yesterday to the ,, military commander. Acting Mayor Ure also is co-operating. Legion Members Serve. Allan Tukey, an overseas service man, is in charge of members of the American legion who have volun teered for special duty. Mr. Tukey expects to have an organization of 450 men. ..They are sworn in by the city as special police and are under orders of the military authorities. Their arms will be kept in the city hall when they are not on duty. General Wood addressed these men in the city council chamber at 5:15 p. m. yesterday. "If you are ordered to make an arrest, you will be expected to do so with' as little violence as pos sible, but with all the violence neces sary," he said. "If you go. after a man, you will bring him in alive if you can. If not, you will bring him in dead. There will be no more monkey business. This is military law." "Governor McKelvie and Adjt. Gen. H. J. Paul of the Nebraska national guard called on General Wood, whp expressed hi opinion that 1 the -''situation here since Stln day nighrhas been handled satisfac torily. 1,500 Soldiers Here The arrival of 523 men from Camp Grant and 223 from Camp Funston yesterday were features of the day. There are now approxi mately 1,500 men here under arms. During the day Acting Mayor Ure handed Col. E. Morris a let ter in which the police department was formally transferred to the jurisdiction of the military au thorities. ; "Firmness and decision now are the elements of safety," said the general at headquarters, after he had gone over the local situation with military and civil authorities. Has Full Authority. "Our men here have orders to carry out orders," announced the general,, with his characteristic man ner of expression. , Then he showed a telegram re ceived from General March, chief-of-staff, Washington, D. C: "You are authorized to take what ever measures may be needed to handle the emergency, the governor of the state having requested the United States government to fur nish assistance." Advice to Legion. "Now is the time for the Ameri can Legion, white and black, to show, that they stand for law and order," said General Wood. Dr. Amos B. Madison, command er of the local Theodore Roosevelt post of the American Legion of Col ored Men, accompanied by H. J. Pinkett, also colored, called on the general with reference to the forma tion of a platoon of negro members of the American Legion. This was authorized. Committee Meets General. The general was met at the Union station by Col. Jacob W. S. Wuest, commanding officer at Fort Omaha; Col. J. E. Morris of Fort Crook; John M. Gamble, president of the Chamber of Commerce; E. Bucking ham, president of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and others. ' Officials and civilians at the sta tion expressed themselves in opti mistic terms as to the situation, the concensus of opinion being that the crisis has passed. Ak-Sar-Ben Festival Parades Postponed . (Continued From Fat One.) bar of justice without delay. The bolshevik spirit which we fondly hoped had found its resting place across the Atlantic must not be per mitted to take root here.. Must Reorganize Police. . "Our police force must be thor oughly reorganized and doubled in size. A national guard should be organized at once so that we may have adequate and quick protection if anything of this sort breaks out in the future." General Wood stated that he has received a telegram from Wash ington instructing him to take full charge of the situation. "This action is taken," he said, "because the governor of 'this state has appealed for federal as sistance. ' "There is an explosive condition in many large cities today.. The forces of anarchy are small in num ber but well organized and seem to be well-financed. No chances must be taken. We have 1,400 or ganized troops here now. We will get more if necessary. I am in clined to think that the crisis has passed but we cannot tell. No Public Meetings. "Military orders have been issued, asking that no large- public meet ings be held. Only the police and military forces will be allowed to carry arms, either concealed or un concealed. "We want the co-operation of all good citizens. And order will be maintained, we trust, without resort to force. But at all events, disorder will be put down promptly. "Those guilty ot the outrages of Sunday night will be dealt with by the forces of law and brought to answer for their crimes. "I understand that 450 American Legion men will be deputized in the next two or three days. Nearly all of these men have seen service over seas. They will act as officers of the law and will be equipped by the government. More Police Needed. "A larger police force is also .needed, I believe. For the present, however, Omaha is under military autocracy." Here the general smiled. The audience applauded. "It is our intention to interfere with the business of the city as lit tle as possible. In organizing the American Legion men I have asked that one platoon be composed of colored men who have seen service overseas. I believe that it is no more than right to allow them to show their, right to citizenship." The general referred to the unrest in all parts of the country and said that it was time that everyone get together and prohibit open talk of treason. "Loose, idle and visionary talk has served to bring about what has oc curred in Omaha," he said. Governor McKelvie, speaking briefly, said that it is not the duty of the state to enforce law in Omaha, but that if Omaha cannot keep or der the state stands ready to do so. . "Omaha has been slow in re sponding to the need for organizing a national guard," he said. "Such an organization could havejjeen galled in at short notice. ' 4 . "The first duty now is to .bring order out of the chaotic condition of the city. The next is to bring the criminals to justice and the third is to repair the property damage. Funds for Rebuilding. " Provisions to provide funds for rebuilding the court house will be made , as rapidly as possible. As soon as I get legal opinion on the law I will call a special session WORLD'S SERIES GAMES BEGIN AT 2 lM. TODAY Cincinnati and Chicago Both Expect to Win First Tangle, According to Managers.

" Both teams worked out at Redland field today, the Reds taking a turn in the morning and then allowing the Sox to figure on the angles of the field. In the afternoon the White Six were allowed full practice in order to became acquainted with the effect of the sun's rays at different times during the afternoon. Collins Wants Glasses. John Collins, -the .Chicago out fielder, after finishing his practice, said: "I am going over right now and make one purchase. That's a pair of sun glasses. They tell me your sun field is the fiercest ever, and I be lieve them." As the train bearing the cham pions of the American league came puffing to a halt in Grand Central depot three mail clerks protruded their heads from their cars and shouted: "Hurrah for the White Sox.'V That was the greeting at the station, but a more vociferous one met them as they entered their hotel and they had a hard time getting to the desk and finally to their rooms, so great was the push to shake their hands and greet them. Rooters Due Today. The special train carrying the Chicago rooters, 900 strong, is not due until tomorrow morning, but Cleveland was represented by a full delegation, and it was this crowd that helped make the White Sox welcome at their hotel. Both Managers Gleason of the of the legislature to pass an act au thorizing the county commissioners to issue bonds to repair the property damage.

Ak-Sar-Ben- fes tivities and "public gatherings" does not apply to theaters and mov ing picture houses, the general stated yesterday. Dozens of inquiries were received by The Bee regarding this point, and the military authorities stated that, if it should become necessary to close theaters and moving pic ture houses, a formal .statement to that effect will be issued. - Ten-Hour Working Day Is Demand of Farmers Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 30.

President Herrmann of the Cin cinnati club, when asked for a pre diction of the series, smiled and said: ' "I have been busy trying to keep 150,000 fans from being sore because they can't be placed where there is only room for about 33,000. I will tell you better after the series are over." Press headquarters were opened this afternoon, and 400 visiting and local newspaper men obtained their seats. Each was presented with a souvenir badge by the Cincinnati club.. The crush in the hotels and con fusion became instantly greater as each incoming train unloaded its thousands. A large number have come with out hotel reservations and without making arrangements for tickets, and every man that has a ticket or an opportunity to get one is kept busy dodging those who haven't. One man from Alaska managed to get an interview with President Herrmann and told him he had come all the way to see the Reds win the world's series, but when he left the club headquarters he ad mitted he still was without a ticket. Gates Open at 10 o'Clock. The gates of Redland field will be thrown open at 10 o'clock in the morning, and the officials anticipate a tremendous rush for bleachers and pavilion, where the first come will receive the frontmost seats.

This morning, during practice for the White Sox, Buck Weaver knocked several balls into the left field bleachers, while Joe Jackson and Happy Felsch sharpened their batting eyes by driving out long hits.
