Turkish Petroleum Company conces-
sions and the French railroad conces-
sions in Anatolia- Whether these
notifications entirely meet the views

seen. At all events, the Turkish
Petroleum Company and French rail-

subject Of discussion.

Government to Keep Hands
Off in Dispute With Okla
homa Governor.

Oklahoma legislators in their attempt
to impeach Gov. Walton were refused
permission to meet in federal buildings
of the state in a message dispatched to
the state executive last night by c.
Bascom SIemp. secretary to President
Coolidge.
The decision to take this action was
reached last night in response to an
appeal by Gov. Walton to President
Coolidge and Attorney General Daugh-
erty to prevent the use of federal build
ngs in Oklahoma by the state legis-
lators. The telegram dispatched to the
governor. stating that use OF the fed
eral buildings for purposes other than
business of the United States govern
ment Is contrary TO regulations was
expected today to stand, without elab-
oratton. as explanation of the govern
ment's position.
VIII Keep Hands OF.
The governments action was seen as
in strict line with the "hands-off''
have adhered from the first in declin-
ing to involve the federal government
in the Oklahoma situation in any way.
The War Department had previously
taken the position. when appealed to
by factions opposed to Gov. Walton to
prevent his mobilization of the state
militia, that II had no authority over
the armed forces of the state in such
a matter
No statement was issued explain
ing the position, and G. Bascom
Slemp. secretary to the President,
through whose hands the correspond
ence leading to the action was ham
died, did not elaborate on a tele-
gram sent to Oklahoma City. which
| based the refusal on the fact that ii
was contrary to regulations"
Gov. Walton's action I'm asking
President Coolidge and Attorney Gem
sra1 Daugherty to prevent the use of
federal buildings to Oklahoma legis-
1atofs was; so far as officials could
recall, without precedent. ..--
In the past federal buildings have
been used from time to time by other
civil authorities, but In the present
circumstances, with Gov. Walton dis
putting the legality OF the legislators
meeting, it was admitted the decision
involved difficulties
Washington officials made il clear
some time ago that the situation in
Oklahoma was purely local to that
state and required no federal action.
At that time, however. the question
of using federal buildings had not
entered the case.
