WAL TON TELLS OF MOB WH|PP INGS IN 4sTORY IF TULSA"
Martial Law Reported De- cIared Due To Failure To
 Get Correct Information

OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. s.-Mob whippings in Tulsa county, alleged to have been the work of members of the Ku Klux Klan at the direction of high officials of the invisible em- pire, form the theme of the second installment of Governor J. c. Wal tons Story of Tulsa" made public tonight. The story of Tulsa was written by Aldrich Blake, legislative counsellor and contains what Is de- clared to be testimony given at a military court of inquiry being con- ducted there.
 Testimony is introduced into the second installment in which an un- named witness asserts that attempts were made by klan members on two different occasions to seize members of their own organization by force because it was reported both men had favored Governor Walton in the election last fall. The klan was op- posed to Walton, its members say.
 Indications that klan officials ad- vised witnesses appearing before the military court that the investigators were without power to punish for refusal to answer interro gations, also was disclosed in the second chapter
 The last witnesses refuse to be sworn. A high official of the klan, he says, has advised him the military : tribunal Is without power. It cannot punish for contempt. The invisible government triumphs. The witness is excused"
 So goes portion of the narrative.

 A greater part of the civil authori- ties in Tulsa county belonged to the klan, according to testimony related in Blake's story. The account said the man testifying was a high off cial of the klan.
 One witness, when he refused to take oath before the military tri- bunal, was asked whether he re- garded his oath to the Ku Klux Klan above his allegiance to the United

 Among the victims were several women camp followers, with their children, who had dared to scream curses at Villa for sacrificing their men.
 The story of this survivor of Gen eral Felix Terraza's forces Is equaled by other anecdotes of the fate meted out to Villistas captured by the fed erals, one of which narrates how more than a score of bandits were bound and thrown into a dry well, there to perish miserably of suffoca- ton after debris had been tumbled down the well to silence their cries.

TOO VIOLENT LIVE MADE IN LONDON PARKS, |S CLAIMED
Bishop Says Acts Of Couples In Parks Can't Be De-
 SCribed

LONDON, Sept. s.-scandalousi5 immoral conditions prevail in Lon don's parks and open spaces, accord ing to the Bishop of London5 who has written letter protesting against the evil.
 In broad daylight" the bishop de- clares, persons are to be seen openly mtsconducting themselves and com hitting acts of the grossest inde- cency. At dusk and after nightfal these evils are intensified to an ex- tent that cannot be described in a newspaper"
 The Bishop agrees with the com missioner of metropolitan police and others that the newspaper outcry which followed the conviction of Sir Almeric Fitzroy for molesting woman in Hyde park Is responsible for much of the license now prevail ing.
 Sir Almeric was secretary of the privy council, close friend of the royal family and of the bluest of blood.
 His arrest and trial caused sen sation which was not diminished d when Sir Alemic was ultimately ex- onerated and the conviction quashed when it was proved, among other things, that the woman he was al- legged to have molested was of dis reputable character. There was a hint of blackmai1 in the affair.
 Police have been charry about ex- erting their authority in the parks since the flaying they received from newspapers after the Fitzroy case.
 Hyde park Is partly wooded. Under each stately tree will be found one or more amorous couples any warm evening after dusk.
 Tt is stated in our report for 1922" writes the bishop, who Is president of the London County Council for the Protection of Public Morality. that 70 nights observation in Hyde park disclosed 746 cases or impropriety, indecency or immortality. Ten nights observation in five other open spaces disclosed 2,615 causes of complaint.
 Tt is with a feeling of burning shame that I hear from time to time the comments made by distinguished visitors to England on the conditions obtaining in Hyde park"
 Hyde park is in the center. of the most exclusive London district. II is less than two minutes walk rom the gardens of Buckingham palace. Princess Mary, now Viscountess Las celles. can look over the iron railing of Hyde park from her home in May fair.
 What the bishop says Is true" de. clared Chief Inspector Campbell, or the women's auxiliary police serVice'
 NO one objects to ordinary love making" Inspector Campbell added, "or, perhaps. even to excessive love making. The trouble Is that chll- dren do come of these park alliances and such children are not wanted and are handicapped during the vital years of their lives"
 The bishops warning probably will be fruitless.
 The police still remember the pan ming they got for arresting the wrong man in the Fitzroy case ana are reluctant to risk a similar ordeal.

WEAR THAT WIG, OR
 ELSE-LAWYERS TOLD
English Judge Might Even Bar
 Them From Court

LONDON. Sept. 9.-(By Associated Press. )-The etiquette which here governs the wearing of the legal wig is weird and mysterious, and awful things may happen to the lawyer who disregards this etiquette, for a judge may then refuse to hear him and order him out of court.
 II. P. Macmillan Is one of the for tunate double wigged lawyers, and gave an amusing exhibition the other day of his thorough mastery of the etiquette of the wig.
 He had to argue an appeal at the bar of the house of lords. He also mittee upstairs. At the bar of the house of lords 1t is essential that a K. c. should wear his full bottom wig, otherwise he would be refused a hearing. But before a committee must wear his bob wig to com mand a hearing.
 At one moment Mir. Macmillan was at the bar of the lords wearing his full bottom wig, and holding his small bobbed wig in his hand. Presently he appeared upstairs before the committee with his bobbed wig on his head holding his full bottom wig out of sight behind his back. Four times the change had to be made as the K. c. ran up or down stairs. He proved himself to be a lightning change artist as well as something of & sprinter. When he had finished, however, he was con vinced that he had well earned his fee.

CALL SPECIAL SESSION
Legislature Expects to Meet
Again This Coming Fall on
Special Business.

A special session of the Wiscon-
sin legislature to be called by Gov
ernor Blaine in the fall after the
crops are out of the way, is high
iy probable, according to capital
gossip.
Governor Blaine has not indicat-
ed whether or not he will call the
Legislators together again. Both
houses are dispersed now, and
holding formal meetings of one
or two members for the purpose
of receiving bills from the COVER
nor. 1t would be almost an inn
possibility to get the members
back at the present time to in
augurate new legislation. Since
die adjournment will come about
July Is, it is expected.
The state university and the
nine normal schools present the
most pressing need for special
session, as the appropriation bills
of both were killed. The institu-
tions are left with continuing APP
preparations which, the, old law
specifies, must be spent for OPP
GRAFTON" only. This means that
the university and normals have
money to pay salaries, but not a
cent for maintenance" or for
capital" which is used for build
ings. Whether the institutions
could operate at best efficiency on
such basis is highly problemati-
cal.
A revival of the La Toilette
Blaine proposal to shift $6,500,000
from property taxes to incomes,
and the Mary Ann bill to provide
second-choice voting in the pri-
maries, both especially favored by
the progressive leaders as con-
structive legislation urgently need
ed by the state. 1t is generally
recognized that the regular session
dds little on which a constructive
political campaign could be waged
next year.

WORKMEN GET BENEFIT
Increased Compensation for
Injuries Are Given Wiscon-
sin Workmen.

Governor Blaine today
signed a bill giving injured work
men 1879 per cent more compensa-
tion under the workmen's compen-
sation act at an added expense of
about $355,000 to employers.
The chief changes are as fol-
lows:
l. The largest amount that can
be paid out for any one injured is
S16,380. This is for permanent to-
tai disability occurring to person
30 years or less or age.
2. The maximum weekly COM
pensation is increased from $3.50
to $500.
3. In death cases additional com
pensation is paid for children, de-
pending upon the age Of the child.
Under the old law the widow re-
ceived four times the average an
nual earnings, but under the new
law she will receive additional in
demnity. The maximum amount
that the widow may receive is in
creased from $500 to $500; the
maximum amount that any one
child may receive is $1,000.
A. The allowance for funeral ex-
pense is increased from $500 to
5000.
5. There is considerable increase
IN the benefits payable for major
permanent partial injuries such as
loss of an arm, leg or an eye. In
addition to paying for the per-
manent disability arising from
major injuries, the healing period
IS also compensated.
6. The compensation payable for
minor permanent injuries is also
considerably increased.
