REPORTS CONFLICT ON BULGAR REVOLT While conflicting reports obscured the situation in Bulgaria, indications were that the government had the upper hand and was putting down the peasant revolution. It is charged that Russia furnished the Bulgarian Reds with arms. A Sofia dispatch to the Bulgarian delegation in London said that quiet had been restored to all, save one point. Jugo-Slavia is fearful of further trouble, and continued to mass troops along the Bulgarian frontier. The Sofia government announced that many of the rebel leaders had fled into Roumania and Jugo-Slavja. The council of ambassadors at Paris reached a decision regarding the assassination of General Telmini and four other Italians on Greek soil, which was said to "satisfy all the powers concerned." It was understood that the ambassadors held Greece partially responsible and awarded Italy 50,000,000 fires. Italy will evacuate Corfu tomorrow, contributing another element of tranquility in the Balkans. Seizure of Corfu and the dispute between Italy and Jugo-Slavia over nationality of the administration of Fiume threatened for a time to embroil the Balkan nations in a new war. SOFIA ISOLATED PRAGUE, Sept. 26.—A report was received here today that Reds have occupied all of northern and southern Bulgaria. Sofia was said to be isolated and expecting an attack.

Markham today as members of the house of representatives prepared to write a red letter page in the history of Oklahoma by assembling "under the constitution" in defiance of a military edict of Governor J. C. (Iron Jack) Walton. Additional soldiers were sent this morning to the state capitol where the legislators announced they will assemble at noon. Oklahoma City, took on a more martial appearance than at any time since marital law was declared by the governor September 15, when he charged that the Ku Klux Klan was "trying to gun the state." The governor charges that the legislators who announce they will meet today "are a lawless mob, the majority of whom are members of the klan." If not prevented from meeting today by the "line of steel" at the state capitol building, the legislators intend to proceed with their avowed plan of impeaching the governor. Reinforcements have arrived here in the last 24 hours. Two hundred additional soldiers detrained in Oklahoma City last night and an additional battery arrived here this day.

Three steps must be taken before France is satisfied, it was stated. They are: 1. Official repeal of former Chancellor Cuno's passive resistance orders. 2. German workers in the Ruhr must return to work. 3. Germany must make fresh reparations proposals to France. Officials are hopeful that Germany will make proposals which are satisfactory and that a conference of France, England, Belgium and Italy can be arranged next month. BAVARIAN PREMIER'S POWER NULLIFIED MUNICH, Sept. 26. — Premier Von Knilling of Bavaria, whose consent to abandonment of passive resistance in the Ruhr was felt to have eased a threatening situation in Germany, was virtually ousted from office today. The Bavarian government conferred full powers of dictator upon former Premier Von Kahr, and he is in control of the destinies of the province with the full support of Dr. Hitter and his fascist followers. The state of emergency—a military control almost as complete as full martial law—has been declared in Munich. Interpreted in the light of recent development, today's action of the Bavarian government in naming Von Kahr dictator, virtually dispenses with parliamentary government, repudiates Von Knilling's assent to co-operation with Berlin in the new Ruhr policy and brings the German internal situation to a grave crisis. DECLARE GREEKS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE PARIS, Sept. 26. — The inter-alLIED council of ambassadors has decided that Greece was partially responsible for the assassination of General Telliini and four colleagues upon Greek soil and that Italy is entitled to 50,000,000 litre damages.

If not prevented from meeting today by the "line of steel" at the state capitol building, the legislators intend to proceed with their avowed plan of impeaching the governor. Reinforcements have arrived here in the last 24 hours. Two hundred additional soldiers detrained in Oklahoma City last night and an additional battery arrived here this morning. No confirmation could be obtained of a published statement that 25 pickled guardsmen armed with automatic rifles arrived here from Tulsa last night. Tension was high at the headquarters of the "lawless legislators" as they made final plans for the "march on the capitol." Representative W. D. McBee, who issued the call for the meeting, reiterated that the legislators would attempt to assemble despite the new military activities. Major J. C. Campbell, Infantry, Oklahoma National Guard, issued the following order to the Oklahoma City police department: "Both military and civil officers are directed to disperse all gatherings and to prohibit speeches on the street that might inflame the citizens." Supplementary instructions bearing on the above order were issued to the civil police by Chief of Police Ray Frazier. A double guard, was thrown about the executive mansion this morning. Governor Walton planned to spend the day quietly with his family. Colonel Zach Mulhall, picturesque "dead shot" and head of Governor Walton's personal bodyguard, of some 20 men, said special precautions were taken last night to guard the life of the governor. "I am seeing to it that nothing happens to the governor during this trouble," said Mulhall. "Last night I had him sleep on the west side of the house instead of the east. We can't be too careful right now. "Today we have a high powered automobile standing at the governor's house. If anybody should try to assassinate the governor or throw a bomb at the house, he'd never get away." Adjutant General Markham declined to explain what steps would be taken to prevent the legislators from assembling. He referred questioners to his military order. "No. 168" in which he asserted that "pursuant to a special executive military order" issued by Governor Walton that he (the adjutant general) forbids the meeting scheduled at the state capitol today" or at any other time or place during the present period of Professor Kouw of Jahby, is said leaders of the university ground NEAR TYPE TO JAPAN TOKIO, Sept. last night added of refugees of the stricken district.
