NEW OFFENSIVE
AGAINST MOROCCO
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Spanish Troops Sent to "Set-
tie" Problem.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)

London - A new offensive in Mo-
rocco is planned by Primo Rivera
president of the military directorate
in Spain.
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Express quotes the head OF the
new government as follows:
''We are sending General Aizpuru to
Morocco with orders to settle the
whole problem there. We will respect
our treaties with Raisuli but will make
no treaty with Abd-E1- Krim (the Riff
chieftain) and will launch a new Of
fensive in the Meilla zone. in accord
ance with the plans of the general
staff"
1t is stated in Madrid, the CORE
spondent adds that the offensive in
Morocco will probably begin within a
week with 100000 troops.
Rivera disclaimed any intention OF
governing without parliament, saying
that ne would form another, truly rep
resentative of Spanish opinion which
would create a new constitution for
the country. Referring to the sup
preston of sundry officers under the
old regime, he asserted that there
would be a bureau of complaints in
each ministry to which all Spaniards
might present their grievances.

SEES PAL KILLED
BECOMES INSANE
J. CeIiskie, Who Saw C.
Riley Meet Death, Be-
comes Insane.
TAKEN TO COUNTY JAIL

Three weeks ago John Riley was
crushed to death when two ton pile
Of lumber collapsed on him at the
Southport Lumber company. John
Celiskie, 38 years old, who roomed with
Riley at 818 Park street, stood by and
saw the thing happen. He helped the
men who pulled the lumber off from
his friend, and he assisted when they
placed the dying man in the police
ambulance.
Last night he went insane and was
taken to the county Jail. Physicians
were called who will watch his con-
dition in an effort to determine wheth-
er the malady from which he is suf-
fering is permanent or only a tenn
porary condition.
Started Drinking Heavily.
Friends of Celiskie told the police
that shortly after the accident which
cost the life of Riley, he began drink
ing heavily. He complained that he
was unable to get the sight of the man
gled body out of his mind. He said
that the only time he could get relief
from the thing thing was when he was
partly intoxicated.
Physicians expressed the belief that
the mans condition was partly due to
the heavy drinking which he had been
doing. They said that with careful
nursing he might be brought back to
normal Time, they said, would dull
the horror from which the man SAT-
fered during his sober moments.

OKLAHOMA UNDER
DICTATOR RULE
Governor Swings Mailed
Fist Against Ali Who
Oppose His Plan.

(By Associated Press Leased wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Oklahoma City, Okla.-The mailed
fist will descend upon whomsoever OPP
poses Governor j. G. Walton in his
war on foggings. Assuming all the
powers of military dictator, the exc
cutive made it plain today that martial
law and state troops will be the an
swer to any opposition to his will.
Members Of the state legislature, If
they attempt to convene themselves In
extraordinary session to consider the
governors act, will go to Jail.
State newspapers that raise their
voices against the execution will be
muzzled by a censorship. Counties
considered by the governor to be hos
tile to his course of action will be oc~
cupied by troops.
This is the plan of campaign out
lined by Governor Walton and he
promised today that he spoke no idle
threats. ... VS..
Will Jail Legislature.
Should members of the legislature
come to Oklahoma City without his
call and attempt to meet in special ses-
sion, Walton declared he would con-
slider such action direct interference
with his efforts to\return the govern
ment" to the hands of the properly
constituted authorities and to secure
equal justice for all of. our citizens"
"If they come here and try such an
unlawful thing I'll put them all in
jail and keep them there as long as
am in Office" he warned.
Certain of the lawmakers were re-
ported yesterday to be contemplating
an attempt to hold such session.
On the other hand even bitter polit-
ical enemies seem to sustain Walton's
position. This is evidenced by the
fact that these avowed opponents of
the governor recently caused, the, ini-
tiation of bill providing for the con-,
vening of the legislature in special
session upon agreement Of a majority
of the members Of each house, in the
belief that statute was necessary to
make such action legal. /"

Ransom Paid Over
Chinese Grave Acts

Picking, Oct. 20 CA. p. by Mail)--A
practice almost as old as China itself
that of extorting money from we'll
to-do Chinese by threatening to des-
ecrate or by actually desecrating
ancestral graves-has been revived
by Honan bandits.
Nanyang, in the middle of Honan
province. offers an outstanding ex-
ample of this revival. Once a thirty
ing town and the home of Chu-ko
Liang, famous hero and strategist of
the time of the Three Kingdoms, has
become q bandit stronghold. ,Virtu-
ally all wealthy Chinese have long
since left the place to escape extor-
ton. But the bandits still have a
grip on them.
By threatening to exhume the
bones of their parents or other an
cestors, the most sacred things con-
ceivable to the mind Of the Chinese,
and to burn them or scatter them to
the four winds, the bandits are
virtually certain of receiving ransom
They are Just as certain Of the
money as If they had possession of
the victim of extortion himself or
OF his living relatives.
Moreover, even in the event a cap
tive is killed owing to delay on the
part of friends or relatives in paying
ransom money, the body still re-
mains to be ransomed to save it
from dissertation.
1t is said there are at least 80
gangs of bandits centering around
Nanyang and occupying more than
SO villages in the surrounding terri
tory. The gangs range in numbers
from 600 to 1000 members each.
Each is striving to attain the fame
of the infamous white Wolf' who
for years terrorized. portions of
Honan province before banditry be-
came such widely recognized pro-
fession.
