With the atmosphere charged to 1
fever pitch, Charles S. Brice, speaker
pro tenn of the House, attempted to
call the members TO order.
Brice had barely raised his hand
and said: Gentlemen of the House"
when Coloney Key, stepping up, broke
in and in loud voice, called on every
one in the crowd to remain notion
less.
He then read the order prohibiting
the session.
The order was as follows:
Pursuant TO special executive milf
tary order, issued by Governor j. c.
Walton of Oklahoma and commander
state, addressed 10 the adjutant gen.
eral. forbiddins the gathering or as
sembly in pretended session of amy
or all members of the Oklahoma leg
islature at the State House in Okla
homa City at L. O'Clock noon of Sep
TENDER 20, 1923, or at any time or
place within the state during the pres
ent period of unrest, it becomes my
duty, by direction of the adjutant
general, to enforce the provisions G..
the governors order, Now therefore.
/, William $. Key, as military COM
mander of the district OF Oklahoma
county. forbid this attempted meet
ing and direct that you disperse i'm
mediately."
When Coloney Key had completed
his reading, d. A. Stovall of Hugo.
representative from Choctaw county.
asked the military commander if he
had the full force of tie state ma
tional guard behind the order" Colo
mel Key made no reply.
Dispersed as Legislators.
W. +. Disney, representative from
Muskogee, then asked if TIE gathering
was being dispersed las a legislature
or as individuals"
You are being dispersed as leg
islator,' Colonel Key responded.
The doors of the House chamber
never were opened and, throughout the
! entire proceeding, none save the mill
tary approached nearer the chamber
than the military guard stationed
about twenty feet in front Of the main
entrance.
The House members left the capi-
tol almost in body for their caucus
headquarters at u downtown hotel.
So far Governor Walton has failed
to carry out his threat TO have the
legislators jailed should they attempt
Ito assemble.
The legislators Withdrawal was in
line with predictions that, once hayin.
made out a test case, they would dis
perse TO take the matter into the
courts, having ample evidence that
Governor Walton had blocked the at
| tempted session.
The scene that attended the disper-
sal was unprecedented.
House members and newSpapermen
were grouped as closely as possible 10
the entrance OF the chamber. when
| Brice. from the bacs Of the crowd
and across the open court that pierces
the rotunda. suddenly made an effort
TO call the session TO order.
There was q shuttle as members
sought 10 gain places of vantage. TIE
sharp command of the guard COM
mander 10 stand where you are ar
rested the movement.
Crowd Is Scattered.
Womea and girls who had fringed
the crowd about the House entrance
were caught in the midst Of the floor
as the members faced about and AL
stood silently while the order was
read.
Then. in groups OF tNos and thrces.
The crowd scattered.

WOMEN TO BOOST
COMMUNITY TREE
Kennewick Woman's Club Holds First
Meeting of Year-Reports
Are Submitted

The Woman's club held the first
meeting of the year Friday in the
Congregational church parlors. There
was a good attendance and the names
of several new members were pre-
sented. The president, Mrs. R. E.
Pratt occupied the chair and addressed
the meeting urging cooperation in the
coming year. The report of the spring
meeting of the District Federation
at Sunnyside was given by Madame
C. w. Welch. The report of the State
Federation at Mt. Vernon, was given
by Mrs. HI. III. Flesher. Both reports
were very interesting and brought
the work of the women of the state
clearly before the minds of the local
club. The matter of a community
Christmas tree was discussed and Il
was decided that the club cooperate
with other organizations in this com.
mendable undertaking.
AT the close of the meeting a social
hour was enjoyed, during which the
executive board served tea.

COLUMBIA OIL
MEN ENTHUSED
Believe Drill has Encounter.
ed Dakota Sands in Well
at Alfalfa

At no time during the three years
that drilling operations have been in
progress have the officials and drill
lers of the Columbia Basin Oil COM
pany been so optismistic as they are
today. The we'll which is being drilled
near Alfalfa is now at a depth of q
ITO feet and both oil and gas showings
are daily increasing
/ About ten days ago new forma-
tion of reddish brown color was
encountered. This formation has beer
classified by the company's geologisi
as the Dakota sands which are found
in all of the producing oil fields
Production, it is claimed, is rarely il
ever found in these sands, but they
immediately overlay the Lakoto sands
in which production is invariably
found.
/ The Dakota sands range from 6(
to 100 feet in thickness in the differ.
ent oil fields 'and officials of the
Columbia company are confidently
expecting production as soon as these
sands are penetrated.

BRINGS STORY
OF NEAR EAST
Miss Hollenbeck Tells Inter
esting Story of Ameri-
can Charity

The show places of Greece are
no longer the Acropolis and other
ancient ruins but American orphan
ages and other child welfare insti-
tutions for Greek and American
waits from Turkey, according to Miss
Elizabeth Hollenbeck, formerly pub
lie health service nurse in this county,
home after two years of work over
seas for the Near East Relief.
One of the greatest monuments to
American charity and philanthropic
enterprises is the new orphanage CEN
ter on the Island of Syria, in the Ae-
gean. Miss Hellenbeck said: "There
are almost two thousand youngsters
in this center already and the number
will be increased as soon as the build
ings are completed. They are being
constructed by older orphans and ref
ugees.
All sorts of trades are to be taught
in order to make the youngsters even
tually self-supporting. They are being
educated in line with western ideas SO
that they may be better equipped to
help solve the many perplexing prob
lens of the Near East when they
grow up. 1t is remarkable to see what
honest, steady effort can accomplish
with these children, many of whom
before Near East Relief workers took
them in were little better than young
animals. They are very bright, natur-
ally Industrious, and are anxious to
learn. During the past year they were
an unfailing source of interest to the
many American tourist who stopped
over in Greece"
Miss Hollenbeck paid a tribute to
the present Greek government which
she said was patriotic, efficient and
anxious for peace in order that the
country's pressing refugee problem
might be solved. Since the Smyrna
disaster, she said approximately mil
lion and quarter Greek and Ameri-
can refugees had been admitted into
Greece, most Of whom are still with
out means of earning living. Miss
Hollenbeck served for more than a
year in the Near East orphanage GEN.
ter at Alexandropel, Armenia, where
17,00 children are being cared for in
American orphanages. American med
ical work has succeeded in curing g.
600 child victims of trachoma, the
dread eye disease of the Orient, ut
Alexandropol, she said. She left Ar
menia for Greece last May.

BIG "Y" PLANT
BUSY PLACE
Two Thousand Boxes of Ap-
pies are Being Packed
Daily-90 Employees

There is no buster place in the
world than the big Kennewick plant
of the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
association. With ninety employees
and weekly payroll Of $1,000 some
new high records are being made in
receiving, asserting packing and stor-
ing the winter apple crop. The plant
is being operated at full capacity and
1000 packed boxes are being turned
out daily.
The plant was visited yesterday by
Photographer Tarter, of Yakima who
was sent down by headquarters to
secure photographs of the plant in ac-
ton. The pictures will be used by the
Big "Y" in their national advertis-
ing campaign this winter.
'sNot many Kennewick people ap-
preciate what the Kennewick Big ''Y''
plant really is and what its operation
really means to the community" said
Manager H. w. Desgranges. "We are
mighty busy but we are never toe
busy to show visitors around. We wish
more of the local business men would
come down and get acquainted"

HEAVY WIND
HITS ORCHARDS
Winesap Apple Growers
Sustain Big Loss as Re-
suit of Storm

The heavy windstorm which swept
over the Pacific Northwest Monday
and Tuesday played havoc with the
unpicked Winesap apple crop in this
and some other districts of the Yak
ina and Walla Walla valleys. While
reports as to the extent of the dam
age in the upper valley are con-
flicting there is no question but that
the loss to the orchardists will be
great.
1t is estimated that in the Kenne-
wick -Richland district not more than
40 per cent of the Winesap crop had
been harvested. Of the unharvested
crop fully fifty per cent was blown
from the trees. As to what percent
age Of the apples on the ground can
be salvaged there is a wide differ
ence of opinion. With few exceptions
orchardists are putting forth every
effort to have the apples picked up
as rapidly as possible. To assist in
this work Supt. j. w. Failor, acting
under instructions from the school
board, has excused all high school pu-
pills who will work in the orchards.
Principal Hodge reported yesterday
that ninety per cent Of the high
school boys and IS per cent Of the
girls responded to the fruit growers
call for help.
C. L. Robinson, chief Of the state
horticultural bureau who was here
Moday and Tuesday, said that under
the state law none of the windfall
apples can be packed in the stand
ard extra fancy or fancy grades, re-
gardless of their condition. The
grade rules provide for hand-picked
apples only. He suggested that each
grower determine as nearly as pos
sible the quality of his windfalls,
work out his own grades and make
application to the state department
for permission to put out special
pack. This is apparently the plan
that is being followed and each grow
er, or each association will probably
work out its own solution.
The storm was one of the worst
ever experienced in this section. In
many parts of town shade trees were
unrooted, windows were blown out
and in the country packing sheds,
barns and other outbuildings were
blown down. While considerable
damage was due to electric light
and power lines, Kennewick was not
entirely without lighting or phone
service as were many towns in the
Northwest.

KENN-HI WALLOPED
IN WALLA WALLA
Kennewick's Heavy Players Lack
Pep and Team is Badly
Defeated

The slow Kennewick eleven went
down to crashing defeat 80 to 0 be-
fore the speedy Wa-HI team Friday,
The home team fought hard in the
first half which ended 1910. But in
the last half, fast Wa-Hi men simp-
ly walked away from the dead Ken
newick team.
The loss of the game was due great
ly to the lack of unity and team work
among the Kennewick, players.
The big men on the home team
slowed up in the last half and were
outfought, while the lighter men
fought harder and showed more pluck
and fighting spirit than the big men
who were fooled time and time again.
which showed that they were not in
training and out of condition.
The Kennewick eleven goes to Pen
dleton Saturday to meet the Pendle-
ton eleven which is reported to be
faster than the Walla Walla team.
Kennewick can only hope to keen
the score small unless the big fel-
lows show more fight.
There has been several changes on
the line this last week, and it is very
probable that lighter speedier and q
more scrappier bunch will represent
the Kennewick High school for their
future games.
There are to be number of sur
prises sprung due to the fact that
the big fellows have been trying to
play on their reputation.
Kennewick has her first home game
with Yakima October 26. Yakima has
a good team this year and she bea.
Sunnyside 26-0. But with a scrappy
bunch, Kennewick expects to give
Yakima a good fight.
