| OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. THE
traditional pomp and formality which
have marked the inaugural ceremonies
of state governors even since the
days of colonial installations prior
to the American Revolution are to be
swept into the discard by one fell
swoop of Governor elect j. w. Wal
ton.
Plans for the ceremonies Tuesday

100000 fresh buns, 10000 gallons of
coffee. and tons upon tons of bar

inaugural are invited. one and all. to
the capitol dance Wednesday night.
No silk hats will be in evidence if
the wishes of the governor are ad-

wish to appear in blankets of vari-
gated hues will be as welcome as

yester-year.

conclusions as to what future naval
battles will be like. If they guess
correctly and stress what is to prove
the dominant factor when the clash
comes, whether it be speed. armor,
guns, torpedo protection, aircraft,
size. or the combination Of all these
elements. the ships they plain may
some day have a deciding voice in
directing the course of world history.

to anything now aflGat that they will
be queen of the seas at least until
1884, when new American replace
ment battleships can be commits
stoned.
Under the treaty the new British
ships may have maximum size of
$4,000 tons standard displacement as
defined by the treaty, which means
ships weighing $4,000 tons without
fuel or extra feed water aboard. By
pre-treaty measurements such ships
would have been rated at from $4,000
to 10000 tons, depending upon the
cruising radius for which they were
designed and the consequent amount
of fuel storage provided. Press ac-
counts Indicate that * the British
ships will be of this maximum treaty
size.
Smaller Than British
The American battleships Colorado
and West Virginia, to be retained
under the treaty. displace $500 tons,
with two thirds Of their fuel and con-
sumable stores aboard. Roughly
speaking, they are 5000 tons or more
smaller than the probable size of the
forthcoming British craft. The mon
ster American battleships not to be
completed under the treaty are rated
at 43, 200 tons, or, roughly, 5000 tons
larger than the British indicated de-
sign.
The Colorado and West Virginia
each carry main batteries of eight
l6-inch guns, mounted two to a tur-
ret, with a maximum range of well
over 10000 yards, The unofficial re-
ports credit the new British design
with nine 16-inch guns each, mounted
three to turret, which would be
the first British adoption of this
American practice.
With the main battery consolidated
thus in three turrets, IT is indicated
that the British designers are pre-
pairing to use the huge deck sweep for
airplane take-off, landing and stor-
age. There has been some hint that
all three turrets would be on the
forward deck, giving up the entire
aft deck to aircraft and making each
battleship a potential airplane car
rier as well. There is no official con-
firmation of this point.
Are $50 Feet Long
The indicated length of the British
ships is close to $50 feet. The Ameri-
can Colorado class measure 624 feet
over all, and the abandoned Idaho
class bS4 feet, so that If the unoffi-
cial forecasts are correct, the British
craft will be as high as the American
ships which are to be scrapped under
the treaty. The Idaho class would
have carried twelve 16-inch guns
each, however.
Whatever may be the facts as TO
the new British design, 1t is certain
that they embcdy every lesson the
British learned in the war and rem
resent the judgment of British ey-
perts as to the most likely develop
ments of the next naval engagements
to be fought. When the United States

CHARGES PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT SERVICE
FULL OF CORRUPTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Charges
that the Anti Saloon league has
bought" the Volstead act with con-
gressional patronage and that the
federal prohibition enforcement serv-
ice "is corrupted from top to bot
tom by set of depraved political
officials appointed under the spoils
system" are contained in letter
written by William D. Foulke, Vice
president of the National Civil Serv-
fee Reform league to S. E. Nicholson,
secretary of the AntiSaloon league,
made public today by Mr.. Foulke.
Mr.. Nicholson, according to Mr..
Foulke, recently declared that appli-
cation of the civil service system to
the prohibition enforcement service,
established under the Volstead act,
would have been to jeopardize the
passage of the enforcement bill,
when IL was before Congress. In an
swer, Mr.. Foulke contended:
THAT means that you have bought
the bill with congressional patron
age and paid for it not with your
.. own money, but far worse with Of
fees paid for out of taxes levied
upon the people"
Referring to the enforcement serv-
| ice. Mr.. Foulke's letter said:

STEAGALL TO DELIVER
JACKSON DAY SPEECH
WASHINGTON BUREAU !
THE AGE-HERALD
Washington, ID. g., Jan. J

gress TO accept an invitation to en-
tighten an audience regarding the
purposes of the democratic party on
Jackson Day tomorrow was Repre-
sentative Henry B. Steagall, of the
Third district. Mr.. Steagall will
speak at Williamsport, Pa.
Senator Heflin, because of pending
legislation in which he is interested,
declined invitations to speak at Day
ton, o.. and Allentown. Pa. Senator
Harrison of Mississippi will be the
orator at a celebration of democrats
In Philadelphia tomorrow night.
On that occasion he was searched
and box Of cartridges and pistol
were taken from him."
w. C. Andrews, another victim of
the hooded band, testified that he
thought his assailants were members
of the Ku Klux Khan.
II don't accuse the Khan as whole,
but I believe the mob was composed
of Klansmen," he stated.
Amp1ifying the report of the pathol-
ogists. who performed auto psies over
the bodies of Daniel and Richards, DIR.
Charles w. Duval of New Orleans an
nounced that he had performed 5000
autopsies during his professional eX-
perfence, but never before had a case
in which the subjects had been Sc
hrutally tortured. He said the man
ner in which the men were put to
death was unparalleled in medical
history.
Sharp Razor Used
Daniels body was mutilated and
parts removed before the other tor
ture was inflicted, in the opinion of
the physician. This mutilation was
performed by a man who has mad
surgical experience and sharp
knife or razor was used. After that
Daniels clothing was rearranged.
THE evident torture to these two
men was beyond believing and there
is nothing in technical torture to
compare with it," he added.
Both he and DIR. John Lanford
agreed that death was inflicted after
the bodies were subjected to some
specially constructed device designed
for inflicting punishment. Their au-
topsies revealed the hearts were
drained of blood and that the manner
of torture produced a slow death. The
Psychologists submitted as exhibits
crushed and broken bones taken from
the two bodies in support of their
conclusions.
1t was learned here today that In
vestigators for some time have been
seeking to locate the instrument of
torture. Many opinions have been ad-
vanced as to it's construction. One
opinion was that two wide boards
were hinged together at one end and
on the inside were set eighteen
teeth The men were placed inside
this and the boards were slowly
pressed down upon them.
