FEAR VIOLENCE IN KU KLUX STRUGGLE (Continued from Page One) be cleared." A force of deputy sheriffs and city policemen immediately dispersed the crowd, the Walton special officers going along with the crowd. Sheriff Sanford up to the minute when he went to the basement had been issuing commissions to new deputies. "By night I will have 1,000" he said. It was stated at the offices of the state election board at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon that no order calling off tomorrow's election had been issued by the board. A report in circulation to this effect was probably traceable to the action of Governor Walton in announcing he had removed John P. Logan, chairman of the election board, and replaced him with Ira Mitchell, and that Mitchell and Claude Baker, Republican member, had called off the election. "I have not yet been able to find any authority for any election board or any other agency to call off the election," Attorney General Short declared to International News Service, commenting on the attempt of the local board to prevent the people from going to the poles. BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN (E. N. S. Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 1. — The specter of state-wide civil violence hovered ominously over turbulent Oklahoma today. Gov. J. C. Walton's startling announcement that he will use 22,000 armed "minute-men"—his private police force—to put down any attempt to hold a special election tomorrow, has precipitated the gravest crisis Oklahoma has faced since it was admitted to statehood in 1907. From all parts of the state today came reports of feverish activities on the part of an aroused electorate. Last minute preparations for the election were being rushed by county men and women going to the polls, he said, but he does intend to use them to prevent the polling places from opening.

Walton's startling announcement that he will use 22,000 armed "minute-men"—his private police force—to put down any attempt to hold a special election to morrow, has precipitated the gravest crisis Oklahoma has faced since it was admitted to statehood in 1907. From all parts of the state today came reports of feverish activities on the part of an aroused electorate. Last minute preparations for the election were being rushed by county election boards. Pastors of churches had heralded the issue of the hour from the pulpits. Party organizations and commercial clubs jumped into the fight. Mass meetings were being held and other public meetings arranged. The state was afame with passion. "There may be bloodshed," was the prediction of the governor himself. The governor commanded every county sheriff in the state to refuse to allow the polls to open. He declared the issue is clear-cut: "Shall the Ku Klux Klan rule Oklahoma, or will Oklahoma rule the K.K.K." Leaders in the special election declared that the K.K.K. is not the issue at all; that Governor Walton is merely using it as a "comouflage" to befog the issue to save his political life. "One-man rule is over," Representative W. D. McHee, leader of the election movement, asserted today. "Governor Walton will find out he cannot deny a free people the right of suffrage." "Tomorrow we will restore a democratic form of government in Oklahoma." Attorney General George F. Short, the highest legal authority in the state, announced that the election tomorrow is legal, notwithstanding the governor's proclamation calling it off. "There is no precedent for the governor's action," he declared. "No power, civil or military, shall ever interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage. This constitutional guarantee may not be overridden or denied by any man, official or otherwise." Governor Walton said Short's opinion "would not affect his purpose in way." "I have stood enough from the K.K.K.," he said. He was deadly serious, his steel-gray eyes narrowed as he spoke. Frequently he swept a heavy hand across his graying hair with a quick, nervous gesture. His face had a tired look about it, as if he had lost much sleep, and there were lines in his rugged countonance that were not there ten days ago. The governor said there would be no election tomorrow, of that he was certain. Just as sure as he had prevented the legislature from assembling at the state capitol, so would the specter of state-wide civil violence hovered ominously over turbulent Oklahoma today. Gov. J. C.

The national guard of Oklahoma—5000 men and officers—will be mobilized, he declared. He does not plan to use his "minute-men" and the guardamen against official notification of such action had not been received at the board's office in the capitol early this afternoon, although officials placed credence in the report, and said they were expecting notice.

RUSSIA MAY SOON BALANCE BUDGET LONDON, Oct. 1.—"Russia's financial position is not only improving more rapidly than that of any other country in Europe, but it is approaching the not very far-distant point at which the budget will be balanced without any deficit." This is the statement made here by the Russian trade delegation in answer to an assertion in the house of commons recently that extension of trading facilities to Russia was not possible because her financial condition did not warrant guarantees for merchants. The delegation states that the annual budget figures, which showed a deficit of 554 million gold rubles in 1922 on nine months' working, show only 362-million rubles deficit for the whole of 1922-2. CHICAGO INFANT SWALLOWS MONEY CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Roy Coffey, 2-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Coffey, thinks he's a savings bank. He's recovering after having swallowed a quarter, five pennies, several buttons and other knick-nacks that came his way. The quarrer and three pennies were dislodged, but the two other coppers remained with him, seemingly with no ill effect. Roy discovered the coins while exploring his home during his mother's illness. Mrs. Coffey, by inserting two fingers deep in the baby's mouth, forced it to cough up part of the money. Mrs. Coffey is kept busy watching toy to see that he does not mastitate a can-opener, a piano or pinchion while she is busy. SEEK MORE WAGES CLEVELAND, O. Oct. 1.—Negotiations looking to wage increases. GREATEST DRAMA” AT UNITED THEATRE "America's greatest drama," that is the way the United theater advertised the Fred Siegel Stock Co. in "Daddy Long Legs," and I think that everyone in the packed house who saw the performance last night agreed heartily with the wording of the advertisement, for it certainly is one of the greatest dramas ever produced on the stage here in Anaheim. Good, clean, wholesome drama with a strain of comedy running all through the play. Mr. Siegel, as Jervis Pendleton (otherwise known as Daddy Long Legs) surpassed any of his previous characterizations and he was able assisted in his efforts by Miss Edna Cecil Daly as little Judy Abbott. Miss Ruth Siegel as Julia Pendleton, and Mr. Edmund Smith, as Mr. Pritchard, add greatly to their previous laurels and were well liked by everyone in the audience. The new member of the company, Mr. Theodore Bliss, was very good in his part of Jimmy McBride, and we shall look forward with pleasure to seeing him in the future productions to be put on at the United. And the kiddies, especially little Miss Hudson, as Gladiola, and Victoria Arcadi as Freddie Perkins, will long be remembered for the excellent way in which they handled their parts. The rest of the children, Loretta, Sadie, Kate, Sally Fisher, and others too numerous to mention, all local Anaheim children by the way, put over their parts like regular little troupers. All in all, it was a wonderful play, well put on and capable directed. "Daddy Long Legs" will be shown again tonight and Wednesday, in conjunction with "Forsaking All Others," the photoplay featuring Colleen Moore and Cullen Landis. The picture program was very much enlivened by the comedy, one of "our gang" comedies entitled "A Pleasant Journey." And, believe me, it's some journey.

The continent of Australia, with approximately the same population as New York City, has less than one-fourth the number of telephones.
