Munich, Sept. 26.-The Bavariap
government tonight proclaimed the
treaty Of Versailles null and void"

billions for reparauons which France
proposes to insist upon abruptly
halted the chant Of optimism here to-
day.
How to turn the Ruhr into cash
looms as the hardest problem any
| invader ever had to face. The semi
official press is full OF statements
that France and Belgium are pre-
pared to turn the Ruhr TO good ac-
count at once. but reliable informal
ton from the highest sources indi-
Gates that such tales represent hopes
instead Of fact.

| Not one. but scores Of plans exist
| by which the authors allege the Ruhr
can be made TO pay. Every expert.
i
has as yet been able to decide which
plan to try.
One thing is certain and that is
that the Ruhr has been a very costly
business for both governments to the
present date. France issued 12.0oo.-
100000 Of treasury bonds in March
and now finds itself compelled to re-
peat the process in October. but this
time no limit will be placed on the
loan.
France has also had to lend large
sums to Begium. without which Bel
gium could not have maintained its
troops In the Ruhr.
Influenced by these consideration
the dollar jumped from 1878 francs
this morning TO 1919 at 4.

Legislators Say
Fight Just Begun
Oklahoma War
Determined to Meet to Impeacl
Covernor-Walton's "Cun.
men, Ordered Out of
Capital. Hotel.

Oklahoma City, Okl., Sept. 26,-In-
stead of the crisis only the beginning
of long and bitter conflict was reach
ed In Oklahoma today when members
of the house of representatives of
the state legislature gathered in the
fortified rotunda of the state capital
and were turned back before bayon-
cts and machine guns.
THE fight has just begun"
On that slogan the legislators
stand. and while they lost one sortie
with the governor today, tonight
they won another. Gov. Jack Walt
on's gunmen were driven from the
Skirvin hotel where they had gother-
ed Just after the maneuver at the
state house.
"Strong Arm Gang" Removed
Tension was too taut. indignation
too near the fighting point for the
dispersed legislators to tolerate the
big, strapping members OF the gov
ernor's Strong arm squad" as Rep
|resentatives r. A. Singletary termed
them. So he protested to Adjutant
General Markham who ordered them
out of the hotel with orders not to
come back.
Insofar as the plans Of the legis-
lators are concerned with carrying on
their program OF impeachment of
Governor Walton. II It is possible,
there are two separate courses Of
action which viii be pursued, 1t was
said.
First, the legislators consider them
selves now legally in session. In
spite of their being dispersed at the
point of bayonets." as they charged
they claim now to have outmaneu.

bling. When Charles s. Brice Of Nc.

stepped into the center Of the rotunda
sharp at noon and called the house
of representatives into session, he
formally assembled 1t, the recalictrant
| legislators declare.
VIII Hod Meetings.
Acting on that view, the legislators
| intend to hold meetings whenever a
quorum can be mustered and the
military avoided, said w. D. McBee,
| leader.
The second plan OF campaign en-
braces filing. either in state supreme

OF petition for a writ Of injunction

The committee on legal procedure

that petition tonight, although 1t was
not expected to be completed before
tomorrow. at which time definite in.
formation concerning the action was
| expected to be announced.
Opinion here tonight In some quar-.

could not be sustained because OF a
previous court decision that the gov.
ernor could not be made the subject
Of a writ of mandamus and therefore
could not be enjoined.
Meanwhile, the military is activ 10
