SUDDEN CHANGE IN OKLA. GOV.'S POLICY OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 17.—Sudden changes were made in Governor Walton's martial law regulations here this afternoon with the arrival by airplane from Tulsa of Adjutant General Markham. Chief of Police Ray Frazier, removed from office by the martial law proclamation, was restored to duty after Mayor A. O. Cargill threatener to withdraw the entire police force if the chief's suspension were permitted to stand. While national guard troops were beginning to function to enforce the governor's order "to rid the state of the K. K. K. from head to foot," the state supreme court went into session. It was expected several habeas corpus cases, in which persons were held under military courts, would be brot before the court. By ROBERT JAMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 17—Virtual warfare existed here today between the visible government of Oklahoma and the "Invisible Empire" of the Ku Klux Klan. It was Governor Walton's last act in a drastic endeavor to enforce his third demand that the Klan cease its alleged influence in politics as a condition on which he would end the bayonet rule started at Tulsa August 14, and carried in effect to cover the entire state Saturday midnight. One company of infantry and a few other troops were on duty today. Machine guns overlooked the city hall. One was trained on the door of the county jail, set so that it could be turned on its base to shower bullets toward the county courthouse. A grand jury session called for today was suspended by order of the military. General military headquarters was functioning at the Huckings hotel under command of Col. W. D. Key of Wewoka. A proclamation provided that all traffic be cleared during the night from midnight to 5:00 a.m.; that the carrying, purchase, selling of firearms be prohibited; public meetings banned; spread of literature or war? DESTINIES OF LIE IN HANDS OF THESE FULLERTON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE GROWS The registration at Fullerton grammar schools fell almost 200 below the expected figure at the opening this morning, altho it went about 150 over opening day last year, C. A. Marcey, grammular school principal announced at noon. Mr. Marcey said the count was incomplete and confidently predicted that registration by the end of the week would be 1400 or more. Registration today was 1227. The registration on the opening day last year was 1087. Mr. Marcey said there are no form qualification requirements for these schools. A grand jury session called for today was suspended by order of the military. General military headquarters was functioning at the Huckings hotel under command of Col. W. D. Key of Wewoka. A proclamation provided that all traffic be cleared during the night from midnight to 5:00 a.m.; that the carrying, purchase, selling of firearms be prohibited; public meetings banned; spread of literature, making verbal expressions tending to create opposition to military, prohibited. Federal employees were exempt from these general orders where they conflicted with their duties. Capt. Nelson J. Moore of the 160th service company was in charge of police headquarters, relieving Chief of Police Ray Frazier. The regular police department has not yet been changed otherwise. The secret service men from the U.S. department of justice are quietly observing developments. Other federal officers are said to be on their way here. First action today against the Klan to arrest its high officials and put them before a military court of inquiry to collect testimony was expected to take place as soon as arrangements for the court were completed. Organization of the court was started this morning. Campbell Russell, former corporation commissioner and initiator of a petition recently circulated all over the state to give people the right to vote on an amendment providing for the legislature to convene itself, was preparing to test the validity of Governor Walton's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. If he should be arrested by the military for circulating petitions attacking Governor Walton, S. Prince Freeling, former attorney-general, his attorney will ask for a writ in federal court here, it was declared. Russell charged in his pamphlets that Governor Walton was declaring martial law in Oklahoma City to prevent a grand jury from convening for an investigation of the executive's office. It was through Russell's efforts that the grand jury was called. Russell was knocked down in front of a hotel by Leo Clark Sunday afternoon following an argument. Clark and Russell were both taken to headquarters, but were released later. Many members of the legislature declared today "arrest or no arrest" they would be willing to meet in Oklahoma City or elsewhere to begin impeachment proceedings against the executive. Walton declared Friday he would put any member of the legislature in jail if they attempted to convene without his call. The governor charges the attempt to thwart his The registration at Fullerton grammar schools fell almost 200 below the expected figure at the opening this morning, altho it went about 150 over opening day last year, C. A. Marcey, grammarian school principal announced at noon. Mr. Marcey said the count was incomplete and confidently predicted that registration by the end of the week would be 1400 or more. Registration today was 1227. The registration on the opening day last year was 1087. Mr. Marcey said there are schools at which the registration is lower than last year, which was considered surprising considering Fullerton's greatly increased population. The Fullerton high school and Junior College also opened today, but no estimate of the number of pupils registered could be announced this afternoon, since the school officials had not checked up on the registration. Class room work is expected to begin in all the schools tomorrow.

FOUR-FOOT VEIN OPENED Jim Parks, who has been at work with the Sickles Silver properties, reported the opening of a vein four feet wide that carries good values in silver and zinc. The streak is four feet wide and is heavily mineralized. The mine was incorporated sometime ago but only a small effort was made finance it, the company looking on after the necessary annual work on the veins to insure their safety. It now expected that within a short time the company will operate the veins on a scale that will bring development to a point where the possibilities of the ore body will be realized. Recently other properties in Wallapals made strikes of importance and a few of these that may have a tensive development carried on waken interest in the whole field which is well mineralized territory. PREPARING TO SHIP ORE James Jackman is shipping a load of ore from his property in the high Wallapals. This ore has been taken from operations that have been carried on close to the surface. The ore is believed to carry at least $2 per ton in silver value. Mr. Jackman has been operating mine for sometime and has opened nice showing of ore. The mines owned by Mr. Jackman have been producers to some extent, one of the particularly carrying good lead vues, while the others are dry silica ores. Plain Dealer Want-ads bring resu The experimental manufacture of citrus fruit oil extract, begun by the California Citrus Fruit Juice Co., a few months ago, has developed into an important side line, and 2000 pounds net of the oil, which is put up in small bottles because of its strength, were made. Manager B. S. Drake declared today. Unless the oil proves to lack uniform quality, manufacture of it on a large scale appears likely next season. Success with it will be the prelude to utilization of the unused pulp and peel into stock food, the practicability of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by the California By-Products Co. at San Dimas, and this third branch of activity will be launched upon. Candied peel, another phase of the industry, will not be touched until the other activities prove successful. The company manufactured approximately 10,000 cases of citrus fruit juices this season, and has shipped all of it, except a certain percentage kept on hand to supply the trade, until manufacture is actively resumed.
