BUSINESS DEAD
south Russia Presents Poor Field
 For Americans

LONDON, Sept. S.-(By Associated Id Press.)-South Russia at present of- fers no golden opportunities for American business men, according to John H. Lang of Seattle, who re- gently passed through this city on his way home after IS months in Odessa and other Black Sea ports, where he was in charge of port operations for the American relief administration.
 There is practically no trade on the Black Sea-" said MT. Lang. Even Greek and Armenian traders have given up In despair, and everyone who knows the Black Sea realizes that when these traders find unsur- mountable obstacles to commerce. there must be something serious the matter.
 The new economic policy of the soviet was heralded as long ex- pected loosening of government com trol, and when it was inaugurated more than a year ago the people had great hopes that new era was dawning in communistic Russia. But such hopes were soon dashed.
 After shopkeepers had opened their stores with what little stocks they could get, they found that the government officials were waiting only for trade to be resumed to inn pose ruinous taxes. These taxes made business impossible for shop keepers, for importers and exporters alike"
 Harvest prospects in south Russia are excellent, according to MT. Lang. who said that nobody in Russia should go hungry this winter.

Governor Considering
 Martial Law Extension

OKLAHOMA. City. Sept. S.-okla- homa's fight to stamp out mob rule may result nan extension of martial law, similar to that in Tulsa, to Mo Intosh county 1t is was intimated at Governor Walton's office today
 Walton sent state decetives to Mc- Intosh county to probe reports that two men were killed in a battle with a masked mob near Checotah and that mobs were torturing women to make them confess improper rela- tions.
 The governor previously issued an ultimatum declaring he would place the entire state under martial law, If necessary.
 His stand was followed by a re- quest from a committee of Tusla business men that he write his ticket there;" that he state condi- tions on which troops would be with drawn from the southwestern oil capital. The governor let 1t be known that his demands include guarantees that there be no more mob violence and that floggers, here tofore almost uninterfered with, be punished adequately.

Bans Meetings Of
 Masked Men In State

NADILL, Okla, Sept. s.-A ban on public assemblages of masked men in Oklahoma was declared here to- day by Gov. J. c. Walton.
 From here on there will be no more appearance in public of masked men or masked organizations" the governor asserted in addressing a crowd at the Marshall county free fair"
 Reviewing his record in dealing with organized whippingss Governor Walton charged that opposition to his methods was being instigated by the Ku Klux Klan.
 The klan has been found to be d. rectly responsible for 4S of 50 flog eings in Tulsa county where mili- tary investigation of mob activities is under way, he declared.
 This kind of a gang, J. c. Walton is going to put down." the governor said. T am going the limit to put it down."
 If one of these masked men comes to your house after you, turn loose both barrels of your shotgun and will pardon you"
 The executives declaration that se- cret organizations must unmask was interpreted as a reply to the state ment in Oklahoma City yesterday of N. c. Jewett, grand dragon of the Ok lahoma realm of the klan that Jack Walton and all his cohorts will never be able to break the power of the Ku klux Klan in Oklahoma"

COMPLEX ME ERGE R OF WILDCAT OIL COMP PANIES, CLAIM
Federal Authorities Say Small Investors Over Country
 Beaten Out Of Millions

HOUSTON. Texas, Sept. S.-After weeks of Investigation on the part of federal agents, the first story of high finance in wildcat oil company promotion-as the federal officers see it-was matter of court record here today.
 According to an indictment re- turned yesterday, Butler Perryman of Houston is the central figure in a complex merger of many defunct and partially defunct oil companies that was made the basis for an alleged gigantic swindle of small investors scattered over the nation.
 The Blue Bird Old company and the Gusher Oil company, one capital ized at s5,oO0, 900 and the other, at $10,000,000, were the concerns into which it is alleged that the various smaller concerns were combined.
 The companies of which 1t is charged Perryman secured control for purposes of promotion include:
 Blue Bird Oil corporation, char tered in Delaware, capital S5,60U,000, par value of 10 cents each.
 Big Gusher Oil company, incorpor- ated in Delaware, capital S10.000,000 par value of stock 10 cents.
 Union National Oil company, in- corporated in Delaware, capital S1000,0 900, par value of stock 10 cents.
 Ranger Comanche Oil company Delaware corporation, capital s1,000,- 900, par value 10 cents.
 Postal oil association, joint stock company. said to have been organ ized by Perryman; amount of capital and par value of stock unknown to 'the grand jury.
 Houston Oil and Refining company, stock association, capital $1,000,O00, par value of stock s1.
 International Oil association, char ter unknown, capital s1,0oo,o0o, par value s1O.
 First National Oil company, Texas corporation, capital $350,000, par value of stock l cent.
 Turnbow Oil corporation, Della charter, capital s250,0oO, par value s1.
 National oil and Refining company, trust estate, capital unknown.
 Some of the companies named in the indictment had certain assets left, the grand jury declared, but others had practically ceased oper-- ating and all of them were involved and none were operating at profit:
 It is also charged that leach and all purported to be incorporated and organized for the purpose of mining and selling oil," but had been oper- ating more largely to sell stock.

QUEEN MARIE SPEEDS HOME
 TO ASSIST HER CHILDREN

tions between Greece and Italy fall to settle the dispute, the government 8 at Athens and Rome may be willing to listen to a woman's voice. Marie has been following all the develop ments of the quarrel, and felt con- fident that it could be settled by di- plomacy. It was not until the Italian squadron bombarded Corfu that she decided to abandon her vacation in England and France and set out im- mediately for the seat of trouble.
 En route to the Balkans, she will stop at several European capitals and strive to induce the governments to prevent Italy from taking further warlike measures. She will see her daughters, the Queen of Jugoslavia and the Queen of Greece and also will seek to advise and encourage young King George of Greece, whose posi- tion never has been secure. It also is said that she will use her influence with King Victor Emmanuel of Italy to settle the dispute without further resort to violence.

 WEARING LENGTHY SLEEVES TO HIDE. EFFECTS OF FAD.
Sunburned Patterns On Shoulders Of Seashore
 Women UnWeIcome

PARIS, Sept. s.-(By Associated ss.)-High-c and long -sleeved gowns have suddenly become fashion able among the little group of dar- ing women who heretofore have worn extreme decollete. These leaders of fashion at the seaside resorts not long ago took up the fad of having patterns sunburned op their arms, shoulders, back and chests, applying burn around them. This was a strik- ing stunt at the shore, but when the tan began to disappear the skin de- signs lost their attractiveness and so shoulders and backs are again coy- cred.
 The cooling of allied friendships over the separations issue has been exemplified in a movement in parlia- ment to change the name of the inter- allied colonial exposition to the in- ternational colonial exposition. The date of the exhibition, which was to have been held next year, has been postponed until 1927.
 An American newspaper writer Loretta Higgins of Norwich, Conn, left for home today having made Europe pay for her musical educa- tion.

Miss Higgins won honors at Fontainbleau last year. Then she undertook engagements and concerts in various European coun- tries. ending her tour with an ap- pearance at the opera comique Par Is, where on last Wednesday night she sang "Irma," the second part in the opera Louise" When Miss Hig- gins was not singing she was writing and financed her musical career with newspaper articles until music was able to finance here.

Declares France Would Have Been
 Annihi1ated But For Britain
 BRECON, Wales. Sept. s.-Continu- ing his attacks upon the present Bri- tish government, former premier, Lloyd George, spoke before a large crowd here this afternoon, expressing regret at the epidemic of deprecia- tion of British strength now sweep ing the continent"
 They have forgotten what Britain did in the war" Lloyd George, who was at the helm of the empire dur ing the last years of the World war, exclaimed heatedly.
 Why, Britains intervention pre- vented them from becoming vassal states. And now Britain is the only country that is not swaggering, be- cause she won the war,
 Lloyd George waxed sarcastic.
 Would the French army, he asked, have swum the channel? Moreover. how could the Kaiser's army invade England?
 "On the other hand the ex-Pre- mier declared there is no doubt but that Britain equipped a gigantic army and saved France from com plete annihiljation."

G|FFORD PINCHOT NEXT TO COOLIDGE AS PARTY CHOICE
Republicans Realize Hard Fight Must Be Waged And
 Seek Aggressive Man
By RALMOND CHAPTER Leased Wire to The Age-Hernld) )

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.--Repub- lican leaders are cautious about de- claring their allegiances in respect Co the 1924 presidential nomination. Some of the Senators and Congress- men who have patronage claims pending at the White House are talk ing loudly about Coolidge and har- mony for 1924. But the big party figures who remain the background believe that the question should be allowed to decide itself, at least so far as Coolidge is concerned.
 If the new President makes a good impression on the country-and they believe he has thus far-nothing can keep him from walking off with the nomination. But. should he fail to candidates will be taken from the stable and put through their paces preparatory to the convention race.
 O 0 O
 Coolidge Is Probable Choice.
 The one thing that will aid Cool idge in such a situation is the fact that there are so many republican aspirants, potentially at least, that the convention will be unable to agree on any one and will turn to Coolidge in order to preserve har- mony for the election campaign.
 Some of the important republicans behind the scenes are wondering whether Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of Commerce Hoover intend to enter. Neither of them can do so and remain in the cabinet Thus far there is no reason to ex- pect either to resign.
 Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania is the newest figure to stand out on the political horizon. Already pos sessed of a large following because of his utilization with Theodore Roosevelt and his spectacular vic- tory over the old guard machine in Pennsylvania in the gubernatorial fight a year ago, he has, by his suc- cess in dealing with the anthracite strike, been advanced to 8 lominat- ing position. To base his candidacy on solid rock, however, he will have the support of the two Pennsylvania senators, Pepper and Reed.
 o o O
 LOwden Regarded as Candidate.
 Former Governor Frank o. Lowden is regarded as certain candidate for the nomination. He had not in tended to run, but changed his mind when President Harding died.
 Notwithstanding the unexpected publication of his amazingly frank letter expressing doubts about his ability to carry his own state, Sen dlOT I1lTdIH JOuHSOH IS dlLiOot SCA letiti to be on hand with large delega- ton when the convention meets. Usually the effect of. such incidents is short-lived and by the time the northwestern primaries come along early next spring, 1t will have been thoroughly discounted.
 At the moment, Pinchot stands in the strongest position, next to Cool idge While his following among the old line politicians has not been large, il is universally realized throughout the party that hard campaign must. be made against the democrats, and feeling is widespread that progress sive, aggressive candidate would make the best fight. However, should Coolidge show his ability and statesmanship by business-like rec ord during the early weeks of the next Congress, he would be diff cult man to beat for the nomination.

 T want to express to you, and through you to the Boy Scouts of America, my sincere appreciation of the very generous offer of aid and assistance in raising funds for the alleviation of distress in Japan.
