 taken at links yesterday just prior to extension of martial law to include all the southern part of Tulsa county. Civil courts have not yet been su- perseded by the military authorities, and in one case since the occupation of the city by troops a military pris- oner has obtained his release through special deputy sheriff, was freed by order of the county court yesterday upon a showing that he had been de- tained for more than 24 hours by the military without charges being filed against him. He was subsequently, arrested, however, on civil charges of riot filed by state authorities in connection with the whipping of Wal ter Thurman of Red Fork last April.

 Secrecy Surrounds Action.
 Secrecy surrounded every action of the military court of inquiry today and none of the state officials par ticipating in the investigation would indicate what progress was being made Numerous men, some of whom apparently appeared at military head quarters without being summoned, were questioned.
 Whippings which occurred more than a year ago were known to be under investigation, and 1t was also understood that special efforts were being directed to penetrate the Nathan Hantaman whipping mystery here eight nights ago, which resulted in martial law being declared for the city of Tulsa.
 Aldrich Blake, executive counselor to Gov. J. c. Walton, was expected to arrive here tonight for an important conference with Adjutant General Markham.

Desire For Consolidation Seen At Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, N, Ja August IS. In spirit of determination to reach agreement and prevent an anthra cite coal strike, the vanguard of miner and operator conferees arrived here tonight to prepare for the joint peace meeting which opens Monday.
 While tie workers and operators are just as far apart as they ever were on disputed questions, there was renewed hope among the ob- servers who scented desire for con ciliation in the air.
 Both sides, it is said. have felt the pressure of government and public opinion which is strong against strike.
 John L. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers. and Samuel D. WarrineR chief of the coal opera tor delegates, were forced into the Monday conference by pressure of the United States coal commission, which expressed the dissatisfaction of the public" with the proposed strike.
 Both Must Sacrifice.
 In view of this strong pressure, both the miners and operators may feel the necessity of sacrificing some of their demands to avoid the strike, it is thought. Neither, however, gave any outward appearance of weaken ing.
 Lewis declared today the miners would stick to their II demands
 If we can settle only one demand a day we can conclude an agreement before the old wage contract expires the first of the month" he said.
 Warriner stands by his latest statement of the operators position. He is willing to abolish the 12-hour day and agree to more speed in the trials given miners by the grievance board But the operators have not weakened on the check off, and that Is the chief point of dispute Also they have not stated their position on the miners demand for 20 per cent increase in wages.
 The last conference between the two broke up during discussion of the miners first demand.

 Miners Chief Demand.
 This demand is for complete rec ognition of the United Mine Workers and the check off system of collect- ing union dues from miners salaries. It also specifics that the contract to be drawn up should run two years.
