LEGISLATURE AND
 WALTON RE EkpYEOR OKLAHOMA CLASH
Both Sides Girding Them selves For A Battle Royal.
 To Try Impeachment

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct. B. (By Associated Press.)-Prepara- tions for the test of strength between members of the state legislature and Gov. J. C. Walton that will follow the converting of a special session of the legislature Thursday moved forward today with calmness that was in marked contrast to the stormy days through which the state has recently passed.
 The session, summoned Saturday night by Gov. J. c. Walton, two days after a call had been issued by majority of the members of the house for an impeachment session on October IT, threw down the baA. and opened completely the way for the impeachment fight.
 Neither side has made any effort to hide the fact that they are girding themselves for g battle royal.
 However, the fight will be wholly parliamentary. Guns and bayonets that figured so prominently in the dispersal on September 26 of an at tempted session of the house, will not reappear. Governor Walton who on the previous occasion guided the actions of the Oklahoma National guard in driving legislators from the state capitol, has announced that he Is ready to face the attack and he welcomes the opportunity to defend his official conduct in every detail. Melee Defiant.
 W. D. Melee. leader of the legisla- tive group opposing the executive. declared today that from 20 to 30 members of the house who were dis persed have met daily since then and that a record of their sessions has been kept. He said that on the date specified by the governor in his call,' the house would merely meet "in open session." The sessions since September 26. he explained, have been executive.
 Although the call specified that the legislature was to consider anti Ku-I<lux- Klan legislation, 1t is gem orally admitted that the impeach- ment fight will come first. It is not certain, however, that the governors case will head the list. House mem bers have indicated that certain of their own number will receive initial attention. It also expected that sev- eral departments of the state govern ment, in addition to the executive, will be investigated and observers predict a session that may last months.
 Governor Walton has seen news paper men personally but once since the return of Aldrich Black, execu- tive counsellor. last Tuesday.
 The state today continued nomi- nally under law. but with the excep- tion of few attaches of military courts in Shawnee and Sulphur, not a member of the Oklahoma national guard was on duty.

GEOGRAPHIC DETAIL

ing Shades.

An aerial map. which will give to
the airplane pilot practically all the
information he desires regarding the
nature of the country he is flying
over has just been developed under
direction of the chief of air service.
the War Department announced to-
day.
The map according to the an
nouncement. will prove of great as
sistance to airmen in making cross
country flights" Its main charac-
teriSticS are:
Rivers are shown in blue: railroads
! in black, differentiation being made
between single track and double
highways are shown in red, differen-
tiating between the important and
the unimportant: towns are blocked
in. according to shape; a vertical
layer system of shading is used TO
represent the various degrees of al
titude-that is. light green being
used for country between zero and
500 feet of elevation, light pink be-
tween 500 and 1000 feet. yellow be-
tween 1000 and 1900 feet. etc.
Overprinted upon the map in pur-
pie are small crosses designating the
location of landing facilities on which
no sketches are available. Small
dots iE purple represent landing ia
cilities on which sketches of such
facilities are found along the border
or the map.
Where the names of towns are un-
derscored. ii means that there is on
some large building adjacent to the

of the town. The work OF mark ing
these towns was done from an eX-

Warrants.
RULING SATISFIES BOTH

Official confirmation of the alrplane
speed record made last week by Sadi
Lacointe, French aviator, 233.01 miles
an hour over one-kilometer course,
has been received here by the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association of U. S. A.
from the Federation Aeronautique
Internationale in France. This record
surpasses that made by Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell. assistant chief of
the air service, at Mount Clemens
Mich, last October The general, ac-
cording to the Army way of figuring,
flew 22.458 miles per hour, while the
French state that his speed was
only 222.97 miles per hour.
General Not Worried.
However, this does not worry Gen.
Mitchell or Lieut.. r. L. Maughan. who
won the Pulitzer trophy last year. for
they are confident the little Curtiss
racers in which they few can skim
over a kilometer course at a
greater speed. 1t is an established
fact that Lieut.. Mau CHAN flew 234
and fraction miles an hour during
the meet, but representatives of the
Federation Aeronautique Interna-
tlonale were not present at the time
10 officially record those figures.
The Aeronautic Association stated
that il the Army attempts to beat
Lacointe's record, it will have to be
done before April l. because the Off
cial International Aeronautic Fedora
tion, which is represented in the
United States by the National
Aeronautic Association. has adopted
a three-kilometer straight measured
course for all speed contests after
that date. The Army has established
one and three kilometer courses at
Wilbur Wright Field. Dayton. Ohio.
and could make trials over these dis
tances at almost anv time.
Planes Are in Storage.
The two Curtiss racers which were
hoWn at Mount Clemens last year are in
storage, and 1t is understood it is the
intention of the air service to let
them remain there until the races
next year. Gen. Mitchell is in Canada
at present and will not return to
Washington until the latter part of
March. He has not formally express
ed the intention of going after the
record himself or to have any of his
pilots attempt to beat the French
man. Past performances of the planes
and their pilots have demonstrated to
air service officers here that when
the Army does make up its mind to
objective without any difficulty.
