H. Ritchie Packing house managers here today hailed with enthusiasm the cut in freight rates on citrus fruit of 14 cents per box, announced yesterday in Los Angeles. A saving of upwards of $2,300,000 is estimated on an orange crop of 50,000 cars, such as the one this year. The cut comes at a very convenient time, according to Manager W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., in view of the record next year, particularly from the Anaheim district. The California Citrus League, representing all the citrus fruit growers of the state, deserves the credit for the cut, according to Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Co-Operative Orange Ass'n., who added that the reduction brings the price down to $1.21 per box. The league has been working for the reduction for the last two years and the new rate is the lowest in three years. The legal amendment of tariffs which must precede the taking effect of the new rates usually restricts about 30 days.

Farrar's hardware store in Placentia is designated by the board of supervisors as the voting place in the sanitary district. URGES ALLEGIANCE TO CONSTITUTION STOCKTON, Oct. 11.—The opening of the fourteenth annual convention of the California Bar Association here this afternoon was featured by a stirring appeal by J. W. S. Butler of Sacramento in his presidential address "for all true Americans to pledge renewed allegiance to the constitution and to its preservation." President Butler protested vigorously against the trend toward nationalization of the government and charged: "During the past two generations politics has so assaulted both the doctrine of federation and the ancient theory of local self-government that today the commonwealths are little more than the slaves to a centralized ruling power—a recruiting ground for the bosses of politics and their predatory partners in the unholy alliance of spoils and plunder." MEET AT $3,000,000 PLACENTIA VOTING PLACE ANNOUNCED Charles R. Farrar's hardware store in Placentia is designated by the board of supervisors as the voting place in the sanitary district election to be held Oct. 30.

C. Walton while the meeting of the joint assembly of the Oklahoma legislature was being held. STATE CAPITO, OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 11.—Governor J. C. Walton's message to the Oklahoma legislature calling for special legislation to exact an anti-Ku Klux Klan law was read to the assembly in joint session here shortly before noon. The governor did not appear in person. The joint assembly committee which waited on him, delivered the message at his request. The clerk of the joint session read the message. "Invisible government must fall, else the state of Oklahoma will be subjected to 'indefinite turmoil and strife,' the final results of which are bound to be disastrous." He renewed his challenge to the Ku Klux Klan with a demand that Oklahoma forever erase from her hold the hooded gathering which he blamed for many outrages, resulting in military law and virtual rebellion of civic authorities a week ago. The governor's message follows: "The reasons for calling you together are well known, both to the members of this body and to the people at large. They grew out of the conflict in this state between the visible and invisible governments, so called. This conflict must now be brot to a close with a complete victory for the visible government, or Oklahoma will face indefinite turmoil and strife, the final results of which are bound to be disastrous." "This is not a threat, but a mere statement of facts. It ought to be apparent now to all citizens that the people of this state will not cravenly submit to the intolerance, persecution."

"This is not a threat, but a more statement of facts. It ought to be apparent now to all citizens that the people of this state will not cravenly submit to the intolerance, persecution and outrageous violence of a hooded organization which operate in the dark and under cover and whose membership is secret. Racial and religious bigotry and mob violence are unthinkable when preached and practiced in the open—they become traitorously and wickedly so when hidden behind the un-American mask. Let us all agree that it is time to kill the serpent in our midst and restore that good nature, harmony and tolerance without which Oklahoma can neither progress, prosper nor guarantee happiness to her citizens. "This invisible, insidious and terrorizing empire represents in an exaggerated form of fear, falsehood and religious hatred, which is fully exemplified from its operations and the emblem engraved upon the official letter-heads of the Imperial Wizard, sent out from the headquarters of his majesty's chambers. "My investigation discloses from the rworn testimony in one case where six reputable citizens testified that they heard the grand titan of Tulsa make a statement to the effect that there had been six different Mer Rouges' similar to the Louisiana affair committed in his jurisdiction, consisting of 15 counties. "Some cases present outrages and heart-rending cruelty in the extreme, in the form of mutilations such as cutting off the ear of one negro and an attempt made forcing him to eat it; burning a woman with acid and cutting her; burning houses; striking women with six-shooters, and one woman with a small baby in her arms was knocked down and another almost ready to give birth to a child was made to faint and her baby was born and died within a few hours. The investigation disclosed other brutal acts of mutilation and (Continued on Page Four)" SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.—Three trainmen were killed early this afternoon when an explosion occurred in the mail car of the San Francisco express bound from Portland to San Francisco.

WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Working on the theory that he home runs best who home runs last, the Yankees came back like a bad check this afternoon and won the second game of the world's series from the Giants 4 to 2, following a pot pourri circuit smashes. George H. Ruth, the esteemed author, staking himself to two of them. The others were furnished by Ward of Yankees and E. Meusel of the Giants, the latter constituting one of a very few overt gestures cast in the general direction of Herb Pennock's left handed way. He curved-balled the Giants ally. Some 45,000 citizens saw the past time and became quite enamoured of our Mr. Ruth before the end of the afternoon. He first commended himself to general attention by shifting one of McQuillan's fast ones high on the roof of the right field stands to open the fourth inning and, then made it official by socking Jack Bentley for a homer into the lower stands in the following innings. McQuillan having decamped, mean-time, at the earnest solicitation of McGraw. Ward's homer came in the second inning and supplied the first run of the game, the ball dropping in the upper tier of the left field stands. The general hilarity had scarcely abated when E. Meusel stepped to the plate in the Giants' half of the same inning and drove a blinding liner into the same sector, tying the score. Ruth's firse home run started the Yanks on a two run rally in the fourth and McQuillan on his way to the clubhouse hits by Pipp, Schang and Scott following in rapid succession. The Giants' final run was the result of successive singles by Groh, Frisch and Young to open the sixth. This rally, however, became a relapse as soon as Pennock got Kelly, Pipp holding first. Schang singled thru first, Pipp taking third. Young was given an error for slow handling of the ball. Pipp scored on Scott's single over short, Schang took second. McQuillan was taken out of the box and Bentley replaced him. Pennock hit by pitched ball in the small of the back and dropped groaning to the ground while his teammates clustered around him. It was the first ball Bentley had pitched. All the Giants and Yankee players came out of their dugouts and surrounded the fallen pitcher. After being rubbed several seconds he got up and walked around rubbing his back. Pennock on first base. Witt out on a fly to Cunningham. Two runs, 4 hits, 1 error. Three left. GIANTS—Meusal out, Ward to Pipp. Pipp made a pretty pickup and throw. Cunningham out on a long fly to Ruth. Kelly fanned. No runs, no hits, no errors. None left. FIFTH INNING YANKS—Dugan out, Bancroft to Kelly. Ruth hits homer into right field stands—his second. Meusel hit a line drive and made second. Pipp out to Kelly unassisted. Meusel took third.

Snyder tried to catch Scott napping off first and very nearly did it. Pennock out on a double play. Bancroft to Firsch to Kelly. No runs, one hit, no errors. None left. GIANTS—Groh singled over second. Frisch singled to left. Groh going to third. The Giant fans began yelling for a run. Young singled over short, scoring Groh. Frisch stopping at second. Meusel hit a hot grounder to Scott, who attempted to put Young out at second. There was a squabble and the field was filled with players. Umpire called Young out at second. Frisch went to third and Meusel was safe on first. Ward was upset as he tried to throw to third and Meusel out and Cunningham out on double play. Scott to Ward to Pipp. One run, 3 hits, no errors.

Meusel stepped to the plate in the Giants' half of the same inning and drove a blinding liner into the same sector, tying the score. Ruth's first home run started the Yanks on a two run rally in the fourth and McQuillan on his way to the clubhouse hits by Pipp, Schang and Scott following in rapid succession. The Giants' final run was the result of successive singles by Groh, Frisch and Young to open the sixth. This rally, however, became a relapse as soon as Pennock got around to the matter of settling the business after the most approved left handed manner. The victory was the first the Yanks were able to muster in their last world's series games with the Giants, starting back in 1921. It also evened the count for the present series, each club scoring one victory in the two games to date. POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK Oct. 11.-Somewhat more subdued if not chastened by the outcome of the first game, the Yankees invaded the musical comedy setting of the Polo Grounds this afternoon for their second meeting with the Giants, exactly a game further removed from a world's championship than they were at this time yesterday. Their appearance on the field was greeted with apathetic interest by what might be termed a morbidly curious crowd of 45,000, most of whom probably make a business of attending public wakes and other lugubrious occasions. Like professional ball bearers, they sat around in whispering groups and gave the efforts of the boys in practice the silent treatment. There was not a murmur left in the entire assembly. In fact, the entire occasion was singularly devoid of the usual world's series glamor. There was no all-night vigil preserved outside the gates, no frantic rush by hysterical citizens for the choice seats in the unreserved sections when the portals were opened at 10 o'clock. At that hour the crowd numbered less than 5,000 and 50 minutes before game time this had been increased to 15, with most of the holders of the reserved seats to put in an appearance. The Yankees appeared on the field first, coming thru the concrete wall at 12:30, clad in traveling gray. The (Continued on Page Six)
