BY EDWARD W. PIcKARp

GtCROMWELL" WALTON and his
~ troopers won a blOodless victory
over the legislators of Oklahoma who
wanted to assemble in special session
for the purpose Of investigating what
they term the mistakes and illegal ac-
tons Of the governor. Sixty-twO mem
Gegs Of the lower house attempted to
convene in the state capitol Wednes-
day. and were driven OUT by the mill
tary. They offered no resistance, but
at once prepared a petition to the Su-
preme court for a restraining order
prohibiting Adjutant General Mark
ham from interfering with the sessions
Of the legislature. They cOntended
that they already were legally in ses-
sion. Asked whether he would pre-
ven such action by the Supreme court,
Governor Walton said that would de-
pend on the advice Of his lawyers, who
number fourteen. He added that there
was no way by which the governor of
Oklahoma could be removed except by
appeal Of citizens to federal courts or
10 congress.
On Thursday the governor extended
absolute martial law over Murray
county some of whose citizens had
asked for protection from the Ku Klux
Khan. He said martial law in the
state would continue until the khan
gangs and newspapers get off my back
and give me a chance to clean up the
counts and tho nor,,fr q,.Nna IIon fnHr-
ence."
There wasn't a ghost of a show fol
the rebel Legislators. They signed
the call for the session and filed II
with the secretary Of state, and then
proceeded toward the legislative cham

officer, was arrested for circulating

1t must not be supposed that Walto
and his immediate supporters al

EULL responsibility for the catas-
L trOphe in which seven destrOyers
were lost on the California coast and
% members Of the crews persisted was
assumed by Capt. E. II. Watson, COM
mander Of the squadron, in his testi-
mony before the naval court Of in
quiry. He admitted that the east turn
was made by his order, and that he
took no ~sOundings. The commanding
officer Of the Delphy, which was lead
ing the squadron, admitted the dis
aster was due to an error Of judgment,
but thought a co%ntributOry cause was

Point Arguello where a ~southerly III

q ECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
- WALLACE believes he has de-
vised a way for the government to
help the farmers. In a report to Pres
ident Coolidge he recommends the es-
%tablishment by the government Of an
agricultural export commission or
corporation with broad powers. He
does not suggest details. Mr.. Wallace
reiterates his opposition to government
price fixing of any n crop, and ex-
presses the opinion that while the
buying and holding Of a large part Of
the surplus wheat might be Of tenn
porary benefit such action also would
make conditions worse unless produc-
ton Of the crop could be controlled.
AS part of the effort to stimulate ex-
ports Of wheat Secretary Wallace de-
clares there should be a reduction Of
at least % per cent in freight rates,
and that the entire structure of freight
rates should be analysed.

HENRY FORD has disappointed the
Il South and many of those who
have been booming him for a presl-
Dental nomination. He seems to have
lost interest in his proposal to take
over the governments water power
plants at Muscle Shoals, Ala, with a
view Of developing a great Industrial
center there. His present apathy is
brought about by the fact that the
government, compelled to act promptly
in the matter of the GorgLs steam
plant down there, sold 1t to the Ala
bama Light and Power company. Mr.
Ford had not come forward with any
modification of his original offer that
would include the Gorgas plant. Pres
ident Coolidge believes the project
should be as attractive to Mr.. Ford as
It ever was.

AMERICA "WELL
OUT" OF LEAGUE
AND EUROPE

Whether the settlement of the row
between Italy and Greece is a splen-
did triumph for the league of nal
lions, as the diminishing Old Guard
OF Its supporters insist, or is an all
but fatal reputation Of its authority
n usefulness, as the great majority
OF impartial and intelligent observers
think, is a question over which we
need not spend much time, save in
an academic way. What is certain
is that the dispute was settled not
by the league but by the council of
ambassadors an entirely different
body. Moreover, it was settled not
according to the elaborate prescrip-
lions Of the covenant of the league.
but by the old-fashioned methods of
that diplomacy which the league was
fashioned to supercede and to abol-
lsh. If any rapt covenanter wants TO
sing a song of victory because the
league was able to dodge the issue
and to turn it over to somebody else
to settle, let him go to it. Three
cheers for the side-stepper + + =
AT any rate, whatever may be
the merits or dement's of the settle,
ment, and whoever may or may not
be entitled to the credit or discredit
OF it, the United States of America
is well out of it, out of the league OF
nations, and out of the council Oi
ambassadors-out, that is to say, oil
something that was and is none Of
our business. = + ~

FORD TO CELEBRATE
BIRTHDAY JULY 30

The richest man in the world, Hen
ry Ford, will celebrate his sixtietf
birthday July 80. Last Saturday the
Ford car, the instrument of his pow
er and success, celebrated it's ow,
birthday.
That date marked the twentieth an
niversaryN Of the corporate existence
of the Ford Motor company, and Al
the same time marked the twentieth
anniversary of Henry Ford's start
toward the worlds most colossal for.
tune and worldwide reputation ir
business.
For it was not until he was forty
that Henry Ford began his climb tc
success. In 1903 he organized a com.
pany with an authorized capital OF
100000 to exploit the automobile
which as a master mechanic he haC
for years been perfecting. But he and
his friends could muster only $2S,00C
and with this sum the Ford Motor
company began turning out cars.
Three years later Ford became q
controlling factor in his company by
acquiring 81 per cent Of the stock
Later he increased his holding to 581s
per cent of the stock. In 1919 his
son, Edsel, purchased" 411a per cent
Of the outstanding capital, giving
father and son complete ownership
of the business. Since then expan-
sion has been very rapid.
The enormous growth of the COM
pany was revealed recently when I
issued the annual report for the year
ending February %, 1928.
1t showed the company holding
more actual cash than any other cor
poration in America, the amount he
ing S159,605,687. This sum, howev.
er, was increased by the end of April
to more than 5000, 100000, due to rec
crd sales ard the cutting down of in
ventories.
The profit and loss surplus given
in the report was S359,777, 7,598.
The total assets reported were
S536,351 ,939, or more than double
those of 1913. while profits on shares
cf stock outstanding fer the fiscal
year covered by the report were said
to be $500 share.

|CROSS BOY KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Nelson Cross was instantly killed
and his father, Arthur E. Cross, Sc
riously injured when the automobile
in which the family was driving last
Saturday turned turtle eight miles
from Darlington, Wis. ! Mrs. Cross
was considerably bruised, the little
girl, Ruth, being the only occupant
cf the car to escape injury.
Mr.. Cross had recently purchased e
car and the family was en- route to
Caledonia, Mich, their old home,
expecting to motor from their to New
York state to visit Mrs. Cross's par
ents, to spend the summer in that Sec
ton.
Nelson Cross, their only son, age
Is, was a student of the L'Anse high
school the past few years and his
sudden death has caused much grief
among his former schoolmates. His
remains were shipped to Grand Rap
ids, the funeral being held Tuesday
morning.
Mr.. Cross wos superintendent Of
the L'Anse township schools for five
years, resigning early in the spring
Of 1922 to accept similar position
at Darlington.

with Mr.. and Mrs. Cross in the loss
Of their only son.

FORDS PLAY COPPER
SOX HERE SUNDAY

The L'Anse Fords met defeat at
the hands of the Copper Sox at, the
Houghton park last Sunday, the score
being z to 2!> NJ
The game was loosely played on
the part of the local team, their err
rors being very costly and all the
breaks of the game going against
them. These errors On the part of
the locals as well as timely hitting on
the part of the Sox accounted for
five of the scores for Houghton. The
two remaining scores were a pure
gift from Kline. the first baseman,
when he dropped an easy out at first,
on throw from the pitcher.
For a time it looked like the Fords
were to be blanked, but in the sixth
a single by Demars and a double by
Scott brought in one, and in the ninth
Swigert hit three-bagger and came
home on a wild throw over third.
DR.. Marshall umpired very good
game in spite of the one-sided story
of the Gazette reporter. His decis-
ion in putting man out after cutting
second didn't agree with the Hough-
ton scribe, but then again he can't
figure how Kaiser got over the home
plate from second on a ball hit to the
pitcher. If they do it once, doesn't
it stand to reason that they'd cut a
base second time?
1t might have set better with the
people of this section if the band had
received a little more mention for
making the trip to Houghton and fur
nishing free music at the park, but
about two lines was all they got.
