FARM-L.AB0R CHIEF SEXES
OKLAHOMA STATE COLLEGE
Agricultural School at Saltwater 10
Taken by the Governor for
Radicals.

saltwater, Okla, June 4-Okla-
homa Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege was taken over by the Farmer
Labor administration of the state.
Accompanied by an escort Of five
National Guard officers in civilian
clothes, George Wilson, former Nom
partisan league organizer in North
Dakota and Kansas, demanded and re-
ceived the keys of the college from
the retiring president, j. B. Eskridge.
Wilson was recently appointed presi-
dent of the college.
A red flag, which was run to the
top of the flag pole on the campus
about the time Wilson arrived, was
hauled down and the college flag was
raised in its place by guardsmen. 1t Is
presumed that students were respon-
sible for the incident.
Prof. j. A. Tolman resigned. He
was the spokesman of the delegation
which called at the governors Office
last week. In his letter of resignation
the professor said:
II regard a man who has less educa-
ton than half of the student body I'M
fit for the presidency. I regard his
methods of securing the presidency
out of harmony with the ethics of the
teaching profession"
Several other designations had been
previously announced.

GOV. SMITH OF NEW YORK
SIGNS DRY LAW REPEAL
Empire State Executive Declares Dry
Fanatics Wrote the Volstead
Enforcement Act.

Albany, N. Y, June 2.-Governor
Smith Friday approved the Cuvillier
bill repeating the Mullan-Gage liquor
enforcement law. The state is now
without prohibition enforcement ma
chinery, excepting as prescribed by the
Volstead act.
The governor goes the whole route"
as the Democratic organization wished.
Saying he does not believe in carrying
water on both shoulders, the executive
reserves the right of the state to make
Its own enforcement law without con-
gressional interference, repudiates the
Mullan-Gage law as hypocritical, and
places full and complete responsibility
for prohibition on the federal govern
ment.
Repeal Of the Mullan-Gage law does
not promise an era of bootlegging and
crime, the governor declares, and he
warns all peace officers that their duty
to enforce the Volstead law remains
unchanged and that obligation must
be fulfilled.
Going far beyond the necessities of
the situation as presented in his &C
ton on the Mullan-Gage repeater, Gov
ernor Smith repudiates the Volstead
definition of an intoxicating beverage
as one-half of 1 per cent alcoholic.
This definition, he said, is neither hon
est nor based on common sense. It is
the definition of the fanatical drys.

and the scarlet fez of Aladdin temple,
Columbus, O., reviewed his brother

another, the President welcomed the

could have fraternity among nations
as it is taught in America among
men. Under such reign of fraternity
cruel human warfare will never come
again.

"Sc long as twenty millions of Amer
leans are teaching loyalty to the flag,
the cherishment of our inherited in
situations, and due regard for con-
stitutional authority and the love of
liberty under the law, we may be as
sured the future is secure"

GERMAN OFFER IS
CALLED USELESS
Belgium and France to Increase
Pressure on Berlin.
SAY RUHR WAR MUST END
Brussels Conference Sticks to Demand
for Abandonment of Resistance
Belgium Asks Seven Bill
lions in Gold Marks.

Brussels, June 1.-THE Franco-Bel-
gian conference, which began here, de-
cided not to consider Germany's last
reparation note until German passive
resistance against the Franco-Belgian
invasion of the Ruhr is ended.
An official statement to this effect
was issued. The conference includes
Premiers Poincare and Theunis and
various French and Belgian cabinet
members, generals and other leaders.
Just as the conference opened, Ger
many's latest note, offering annual
PREPARATION payments of 1,5O0,000,000
marks, was received.
To Increase Pressure.
Instead of paying any attention to
the note, the conferees decided 10 de-
wise ways 10 increase the pressure on
Germany.
Premier Theunis submitted to Pre-
mier Poincare a reparations plan IN
der which Belgium would accept
7,OOO,0OO,0O0 gold marks in payment of
her claims on Germany.
The Belgian pran also provides for
an international consorium to operate
the railways of Germany for sixty
years and to pay 1,900,000,000 gold
marks year to the Preparations COM
mission. Exploitation of German al
cohOl, sugar, tobacco and match mo-
nopolies by international companies Is
also suggested by Belgium
Holds German Paper Money.
Of the 7,OOO,OOG,OOO gold marks
which Belgium asks, 4,500,0O0,O00
marks are listed as reparations The
remaining 2,500,00OOOO is asked in re-
demption of German paper marks
which are held by the Belgian ma
tional bank. These marks, given by
Germany in payment for goods bought
in Belgium during the war, were gath
cred by the Belgian government after
the German troops had retreated to
German territory after the armistice.
Premier Theunis is said to believe
that it would be useless for Belgium,
France and Germany alone to try to
accomplish a settlement. The aid Of
Great Britain and Italy is needed In
any thorough cleaning-up of the finan-
cial situation OF. Germany, France and
Belgium, according to the Belgian
premier.
