WALTON WINS
FIRST BAlTLE -

National Guardsmen
Disperse Legislators
who Appeal to Court
——Another County is
Under Martial Law
in Klan Fight
(By the Associated Press)
OKLAHOMA CITY Sept. 27.-—The
conflict betctven Governor J. C‘. “'al-
ton and the. lower house of the Ok-
lahoma legislature developed today
into a. finish light. as the law mak-
crs prepared to make their cause
to the courts.
Mvamvhile the state is in doubt as
to the nll‘n-lnl status of its lower
lt'KlHlt‘tllYe branch.
The dramatic action of national
gnnrdsnien in dispersing on orders
of the government 66 House ‘mem-
bers who gathered yesterday in the
state capitol at their own call to
consider impeachment charges left
the executive victorious after the
first brush. But the menu-0‘!
the legislators that the Homo- form.
ally “us convoked. notwithstanding
tllo military interference. presented
an unprecedented problem which a
court must. solve.
From the maze of charges and
counter charges revolving about
Governor “'alton's fight against mob
violence and makcd depredatlona in
Oklahoma. has appeared a. tense situ-
ation which observers say is the
prelude to a spectacular climax.
The use of military forces to col!!-
bat “hooded outrages" will continue
until domination of one-third of
the counties in the state by the Ku
Klux Klan is broken the governor
said.
“'lthln the next few hours, be ad-
ded. he will place another county
under rigid martial law at the re-
quest of some of its citizens. Re—
port has it. that Murray county is
the one to which he referred. al-
though this finds no confirmation in
oflicial quarters.
Asserting that the proceedings in
the state house yesterday consti—
tuted an official assembly despite the
intervention by the military. the
rebel legislators went ahead today
to test their right to meet without
a. call from the governor. A legal
committee is in charge of the work
and while no details have been made
public. it is expected that either
the state supreme court or the fed-
eral district court will be asked to
enjoin the governor from prevent-
ing the session.
Action is anticipated before the
end of the week.
“The fight has Just begun." do.
clared leaders of the movement.
“The meeting of the legislature has
Just started."
“The 1W shall not meet."
was Gov Walton's retort. He
added that ho would welcome a test
in the courts.’
Allowing the governor no oppor-
tullity to carry out his threat: of
using all force ot Inn. and men
necessary to prevent the session. the
legislators have agreed to await the
outcome of their action in the court:
before attempting to concvene aguin.
The executive has charged that 68
members of the House are Ku Klux
klansmcn and that their proposed
meetin would be barred under the
martial law decree prohibiting "un-
lawful klan assemblies."

BERLIN. Sept. 27 (By The Auooiated Preach—A presidential
decree for the restoration of public security we: issued last eve-
ning in the name of President Ebert. The decree restricts several
constitutional rights. including freedom of the press and the right
of assembly, and authorises domiciliary seizures and searches.
The minister of defense is vested
with legislative power which also
extends to any military commanders
who may be appointed by him and
to the civil commissioners. The ap-
pointment of Dr. von Kehr. former
Bavarian premier on general com-
missioner for that state with full
executive power to promulgate meas-
ures to protect Munich from any
disturbance. is regarded as a. local
precautionary measure. The ‘lien-
eral cemmissioner has full authori-
ty to proclaim an "exception l‘
state" should «madman- .. warren“
such action. '
An ordinance has already been ‘3‘,
sued curtailing fredom of speech of
the prone and of public assembly.
The naming of Dr. yon Kahr.
with dictoriel powers. is regarded
with some anxiety. it being consid—
ered that such an extreme measure
proves the situation in Bavaria is
serious and that. the Bivurian gov-
ernment is determinedifi use every
means to nip in the bud any at-
tempted coup by the Bavarian na-
tional socialists under the leadership
of Adolph Hitler. A dispatch to the
Tageblat from Munich states that
by appointing Dr. von Kuhr as dlc-
later. the Bavarlnngovernment wish-
ed to forestall the proclamation of
Hitler as dictator. It was pointed
out that the Berlin government. is
thus playing of! the organization
known as "Bavaria and the Reich"
of which Dr. von Kahr is leader
and which does not want the never-
ance of Bavaria. from the Reich.
”Kampfbund."
The authorities of occupation in
the Ruhr, however. are said to be
prepared to meet any emergency
which may arise there as a conse-
quence of today's proclamation in
Berlin. The extreme measures re-
sorted to are regarded a- partly in
response to the action of Bavari-
an: in aetling up a dictatorship and
in any case as solely related to the
requirements of interior politics. en-
tirely independent of the foreign
situation.
Neither, President Ebert’s proelv
mation announcing abandonment of
resistance in the Ruhr. nor today’s
action in giving the control over to
the military authorities is consider-
ed as changing the situation so far
as concerns the ullieu.
Although e. Bavarian decree pro-
hibits all public meetings. the fol-
lowers of Hitler have manna to
hold 14 mass meeting- tonight at
which Hitler is slated to speak. All
other meeting. in Devotional-rung-
ed«by the national socialists have
been cancelled and order: given for
the nationalists to concentrate at
Munich.
Members of the “fighting units"
are stated in Munich advice: to
have been refused permission to
leave the city and orders have been
issued that they are to be ready.for
all eventualittel tonight. Seine of
the units. fully equipped. are direct-
ed to u-emble at 4:00 o'clock Fri-
day morning.
