WALTON THREATENS PRESS CENSORSHIP MUSKOGEE, Okla., Sept. 14.—Censorship of the press, Governor J. C. Walton's latest step in his campaign to "clean up" Oklahoma was in effect today in Tulsa and was threatened here. "We have a man in the Tulsa Tribune to see that everything that goes into that paper is censored and we contemplate doing the same to the Muskogee Phoenix, if it becomes necessary" Dr. A. E. Davenport, state health commissioner, announced, speaking for the governor. With the installation of censorship for the press, the resignation within 24 hours of W. R. Sampson, grand exalted cyclops of Muskogee Klan No. 3 was demanded by the governor thru Davenport. Failure to comply with the demand will mean an order for the extension of martial law to Muskogee he said. TULSA, Okla., Sept. 14.—The most drastic martial law orders ever known in any state were promised Tulsa by Governor J. C. Walton today if the Chamber of Commerce does not demand the resignation of the sheriff, police commissioner and jury commission. The chamber promised him an answer today. In conference last night with men said to be leaders of the state Ku Klux Klan, H. O. McClure, president of the chamber, called upon them to "take charge of the cleanup campaign to rid the city of a condition they are charged with bringing about." The klansmen are said to have taken his appeal under consideration and advised him they would make a reply some time today. TULSA, Sept 14.—An injunction in U. S. courts will be sought to prevent Governor Walton from interfering in the operation of the Tulsa Tribune, according to a statement by owners today.

TULSA, Sept 14.—An injunction in U. S. courts will be sought to prevent Governor Walton from interfering in the operation of the Tulsa Tribune, according to a statement by owners today. PROBE ACTIVITIES OF WOUNDED MAN LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—While surgeons at the general hospital today endeavored to save the life of Michael Argullar, 19, dangerously wounded when shot by a policeman last night, the police started an investigation of the activities of Argullar and his companion, Manuel Lopez, under arrest. Argullar is said to have confessed that he and Lopez were riding in a stolen auto. SUGAR CONTINUES UPWARD ADVANCE Upsetting predictions of the usual course of events, sugar has been getting dearer since the new beet supply came in late in August, and today was selling at $9.08 per 100 pounds wholesale to grocers. This is 40 cents above the price of last week, the last advance taking effect yesterday. It amounted to 25 cents per 100. Cane sugar will come in late in November, unless the crop is earlier than expected, and prices then will decline if they are going to. G. E. Kitchen said today that the present price increases were "only a bluff" and that declines would follow. It appears to be the policy of the refiners to boost prices so that when declines are necessary high levels still will prevail, Kitchen added. Sugar at present is selling at more than $1.00 per 100 pounds above the rate at this time last year, according to the Anaheim grocer. LEGAL CLASH AT GLASS HEARING LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—Sensational testimony regarding the activities of Gaston Glass, motion picture actor, at the home of Mrs. Helen McCloskey, June 2, when Hollywood police officers staged a raid on a "petting party" precipitated a bitter legal battle between opposing counsel today when the first witness against Glass charred with being a lewd and dissolute person, was placed on the stand in police court. The witness was Officer W. S. Hawes, one of the officers who ar- TAKE ORANGE SHOW TO N. Y.—Ringling Charles Ringling of Ringling Bros. circus is ready to aid in giving the east a peep at what the California Valencia and National orange shows are like, he declared in an interview. His show will be at Madison Square Garden, New York, Feb. 16-24. It is now showing in Los Angeles. "While I am a Florida booster on account of my interests there," said Ringling, "I am glad to say that I am also a great believer in the Golden West, and I only hope that some progressive Californians will follow my lead and take the San Bernardino Navel Orange Show and the Anaheim Valencia Orange show to New York." "By letting the east know what the two states are doing our future program of co-operative marketing will be greatly helped. You know, as a circus man, I am a great believer in advance work, and if I can do anything to help California to stage one of its shows in the east I will be pleased to give any suggestions and moral support to the movement." "I was much interested when I met the California citrus growers' party at the South Florida Fair last February," he said yesterday, "and I had a long talk with Col. George C. Roeding, who was the chairman of that party. "I believe that it is not long distant when the two states will be compelled to opt some measures leading to a better method of marketing, and am gratified to note that steps along this line are under consideration by the leaders in the citrus industry in both the west and the south. "California has shown the world what can be done in the matter of standardizing varieties, and Florida can learn an excellent lesson right here. They should cut out very many of the varieties they raise in the south and center on a few seasonable types of oranges and grapefruit that would give them a long marketing season and a fruit that is uniform in texture and size and quality." "It will not be so far in the future when the annual production of citrus fruits in Florida will equal that of California. The last year's crop there was about 16,000,000 boxes and this will increase considerably in a few years, as many young groves are soon to come into bearing, and plantings have been going on most extensively during the last five or- GLASS HEARING LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—Senational testimony regarding the activities of Gaston Glass, motion picture actor, at the home of Mrs. Helen McCloskey, June 2, when Hollywood police officers staged a raid on a "petting party" precipitated a bitter legal battle between opposing counsel today when the first witness against Glass charged with being a lewd and dissolute person, was placed on the stand in police court. The witness was Officer W. S. Hawes, one of the officers who arrested Glass, in company with Alma Rhodes, film actress, Miss McClosky and Louis Gasnier, film director. Hawes told of standing outside the house and viewing thru a window the alleged "wild party." Hawes also related he saw many lewd acts and overheard unprintable conversation. STARTED BLAZE FOR SOME EXCITEMENT LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—Confessing to police that he set fire to a stationery room on the sixth floor of the Pacific Electric Building "in order to cause some excitement," Jesse Belzner, 22, elevator operator in the building, was today ordered taken to the psychopathic ward for observation. The fire did damage estimated at $25,000. Belzner is said to have written several threatening letters to former Chief of Police Charles Jones. 3 MACHINES BADLY DAMAGED IN CRASH Three machines were badly damaged late yesterday when a Holsum Bread Co., truck smashed into Studebaker car driven by William Fassel of Yorba Linda at Harding, a few miles west of Anaheim on the Lincoln-bvd. and jammed it into a Chevrolet which was following. The Chevrolet, occupied by Albert Fassel and Felix Selig, oil workers was almost demolished. The Studebaker received two ruined wheels, and an axle on the Holsum Bread Co. truck was broken. No one was injured. The cars are being repaired by the Harry D. Riley garage. MILITARY SIEGE LONDON, Sept. 14.—A military siege has been declared at Madrid, according to a dispatch from the Spanish capital, received here this evening.

RECOVER 6 BODIES IN NAVAL DISASTER SANTA BARABARA, Sept. 14.—Six bodies of victims of the crash of seven U.S. destroyers on the sharp rocks at Point Honda, two miles from Point Arguello last Saturday night, have been recovered thus far. It was revealed here today. Two bodies were washed upon the beach late yesterday. Piercing of the hull of the destroyer Young in which it was believed the majority of the seamen were trapped, failed to realize any bodies. It was the contention of officers that the men lost their lives when they jumped overboard and were dashed to death against the jagged rocks, having been blinded by oil on the surface of the water when tanks were ripped open. The last two recovered bodies were badly mutilated from being battered against the rocks. ROBS STREET CAR LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—"I put my last nickel in that box, and now I want what you've got," growled a lone highwayman early today as he stuck a revolver toward the conductor of a street car and took from him $20 of the company's money and $4 of the conductor's own money, according to the police. Meanwhile the street car rolled toward the end of the line, the motorman unaware of what was taking place. The robber boarded the car when there were no other passengers on it. After completing his holdup the bandit slipped from the car, pulled the trolley off and fled into the darkness. Back of the many prominent is reprinted.

Heard of Garden Grove" are credited with finding on Wednesday the shallow grave of a man in Cajon Pass, San Bernardino mountains, who had been murdered. Sheriff W. A. Shay of Los Angeles county is investigating. The sheriff is uncertain whether the man was killed on the spot or taken there afterward. The spot is a mile above Al Ray. Marks of identification had been removed. A bloody pillow in the grave leads to the belief that the man had been killed as he slept. There were no shoes. Blue overalls, a dark colored shirt, gray underclothing and gray socks were the clothing. The man was between 40 and 50, five feet eight or nine inches tall and weighed 160t, o 170 pounds. The legs had ben tied with rope. A bunch of automobile keys were found. The grave was three feet wide, five long and three or four deep. Market Reports STOCKS CLOSE IRREGULAR NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The stock market closed irregular. Stocks in most cases receded to their previous closing prices, leaving the average price level about unchanged from yesterday. Steel stocks were lower all thru the day, Gulf States Steel yielding 3-8 to 77-5-8, Republic nearly one point to 44 1-2, United States Steel 3-4 to 88 1-2 and Crucible 3-8 to 61. Oil stocks were heavy and showed fractional losses. Railroad stocks were somewhat steadier. The remainder of the list was irregular with price changes about ov- WATERS ON Taking exception to a story yesterday in which he was quoted as saying that radio concerts would soon be a thing of the past, Dr. J. E. Waters today issued the following statement: Anaheim, Cliff., Sept. 14, 1923. The Plain Dealer Radio Broadcasting of News, Music, and other entertainment, which a few years ago was first undertaken in Los Angeles by a considerable number of second rate broadcasting stations, has practically simmered down to two first class stations, the programs of which are gradually becoming more inferior as material suitable for broadcasting becomes harder to obtain. The benefits accruing to those financing the broadcasting station are not great, whereas the initial investment in such a station runs into many thousands of dollars and the expense of maintenance is so great that only large institutions such as the large publishing companies etc., can afford them. Entertainers are becoming more difficult to obtain, as their time has heretofore been given gratuitously, and it is probable that before long their services will have to be paid for. In addition, a large broadcasting station in the east is now being sued to court payment of royalties on copyright music broadcasted from their station. Some foreign countries have already found it necessary to lure receiving sets to maintain the broadcasting stations. It is not, therefore, unreasonable to predict that in the comparatively near future broadcasting will resolve itself into or large station only in a locality, efficiently powerful to reach reliably all territory between it and the silions which supply adjacent territory. This will permit a concentration of all that is best in the one stern, eliminate interference with other programs, and minimize instrument and expenses of... DIDN'T INTEND TO SHOOT HER HUSBAND LONDON, Sept. 14.—Mme. Marie Margurite Fahmy, on trial for the murder of her rich young Egyptian husband, Prince Ali Kamil Fahmy, testified today she did not intend to kill her husband when she pointed a pistol at him in their luxurious apartment in the Savoy Hotel. "He had been threatening my life and I only wanted to scare him. I that the sight of the pistol might frighten him away. He was reaching out to choke me when it exploded." Mme. Fahmy was excused from the witness and after identifying a letter which she said had been written to be opened after her death. The letter said in part: "I formally accuse, in case of my death by violence or otherwise, my husband All Kamel Bey. I accuse him of causing my disappearance." The witness said she was so scared of her husband that she wrote the letter with a feeling of certainty she would be killed. The woman, who still shows traces of youthful beauty despite her 34 years, was on the verge of collapse. PETITION RECALL OF OREGON GOVERNOR PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 14.—Petitions asking the recall of Gov. Walter M. Pierce were being circulated in various parts of Oregon today. The first petition appeared in the farming communities of Eastern Oregon in the county adjoining Pierce's home. Ten charges against the executive are carefully specified. They cover so many phases of his short administration that they are said to form practically a blanket indictment of the governor. Runaways of recall have been rife for some time. Originally the campaign was credited to the Ku Klux Klan but published statements later over the signature of Fred L. Gifford, grand dragon, urged the klan to take no official action in the movement. Back of the recall are said to be many prominent men and the movement is reported to be liberally financed.

NEW YORK CITRUS NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Twenty-counties to lice receiving sets to maintain the broadcasting stations. It is not, before, unreasonable to predict that in the comparatively near future podcasting will resolve itself into large station only in a locality, efficiently powerful to reach reliably all territory between it and the slions which supply adjacent territory. This will permit a concentration of all that is best in the one stem, eliminate interference with its other programs, and minimize instruction and expenses of maintenance. Broadcast will never cease, even if it become necessary to license receiving appretuses to maintain it. It is a necessity to modern civilization, provide the greatest means that has ever devised for quickly disseminating information of every character. Amateur radio operation suffers a severe blast in the new rulings of the Second radio Conference which prohibit operation of all amateur transmittations between the hours of 8:10 and 10:30 p.m. This done the belief that the amateur was using interference with reception broadcast programs, regardless one amateur's precedence in the radfield and the fact that the majority of late radio development has to done by amateurs or those who ran as amateurs. This nearing effectively blocks communications from this coast to eastern arrays until after 10:30 p.m.; as time during which transmission inhibited comes enough earlier than to throw the Pacific Coast arrays into daylight, which is a natural barrier to long distance SEEKING ARREST OF BLUEBEARD IN IDAHO LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—A warrant for the arrest on a polygamy charge of H. R. Roshon, alias A. E. Woods, allied "bluebeard" held in the city jail for investigation, is in the hands of Coeur D'Alene, Idaho authorities, according to a message from Sheriff T. L. Quarrels of Couer D'Alene, to Sheriff W. I. Traeger asking that Roshon be held for extra-dition to Idaho. According to the message, the "Bluebeard" suspect, arrested here several days ago and in his possession found a notebook containing more than 60 names of So. Calif. women, was ordered arrested as the result of his marriage with Alma E. Schneider, Nov. 3, 1920. HYLAN IMPROVED SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Sept. 14.—Mayor John F. Hylan of New York, ill here with double pneumonia, is "greatly improved," according to a bulletin issued shortly after 9 o'clock by Doctors Charles Nammack and George F. Comstock. The mayor is very cheerful and his general strength has decidedly increased. No new patches of pneumonia have appeared on the mayor's lungs and the inflammation shows indications of reducing. TOWN CRIERS TO BAN OVER-CHARGING PARIS, Sept. 14.—M. Emile Desvaux, a Paris alderman, demands that the "town crier" of old be established in the public markets, that prices may be kept down. Monsieur Desvaux claims that if official prices are cried throughout the market all buyers and sellers will have to be guided by the price quoted. Profiteers will thereby be nipped in the bud and the fair sellers will get in on the ground floor. When the new baby arrives, Willie discovers that his seniority rights are worth something less than two whoops, LOS ANGELES CITRUS LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—Oranges: Locals special brands, valencias, small sizes $3.50 to $4.00; 216s and larger $4.25 to $4.50.

WITERS ON RADIO COOLIDGE PROBES ANTHRACITE PRICES WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—President Coolidge has ordered the federal trade commission and the United States Coal Commission to investigate anthracite prices all over the country with a view to eliminating profiteering in hard coal, it was announced officially at the White House late today. The purpose of teh investigations is to work out a method of facilitating movement of coal direct from the mines to the consumers. While the government is moving to prevent profiteering, th administration also expects fullest co-operation of local and state authorities in this enterprise. In the final analysis, the president feels, profitering can be eliminated by local authorities, who are more conversant with the needs and conditions of their communities. It was pointed out that it would be difficult for the federal government to reach out in New York or Ohio, for instance, and say how business should be conducted, and what prices should be considered fair and just, but that this can be done by local officers. The spokesman further said that the recommendations of the commission will depend largely upon public opinion for making the anti-profiteering suggestions effective. The federal trade commissions also will seek to ascertain if trade practices in the hard coal industry violate anti-trust laws. If violations are found, it was estimated that legal action would be used to break up combinations in restraint of trade. $1800 FINES FOR "OBSCENE SHOW" LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.—A decision of guilty with a penalty of fines totalling $1800 with the alternative of 360 days in jail was against STANLEY BENTON GOES TO PORTLAND PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 14.—Announcement was made today of the purchase by the Portland baseball club of Stanley Benton, shortstop with the Williamsport club of the New York-Pennsylvania League and Gordon Cochrane catcher, with Dover, in the East Shore League.
