STATE TROOPS GOVERN
CAPITAL OF OKLAHOMA
Waging War on ku kIux Khan, Gov
ernor Proclaims Martial Law
Throughout State.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. IL
Martial law for the entire state of
Oklahoma was proclaimed by Gov. J.
c. Walton. Calling the full force of
the approximately 5000 troops in the
Oklahoma National Glard to his COM
mand, the governor climaxed his spec
tacular fight against the Ku Klux
Khan by declaring that any persons
who aid the organization in carrying
out its purposes" are enemies of the
sovereign state of Oklahoma and shall
be dealt with by the military forces.
General orders embodying the essen
tial regulations under which the state
capital will live during the suspension
of civil authority were issued by
Lieut.. Col. w. S. Key, in command of
local troops.
Thus far only the capital has felt
the new order, but the remainder of
the state awaits the coming of mill
tary rule.
Early Sunday night machine guns
were mounted around the city hall,
the police station and the county
courthouse here. Approximately 300
troops are under arms in the city.
The orders governing the conduct
of the public are drastic.
All streets and highways of Okla
homa county must be cleared between
midnight and a. M, according to the
order. Persons whose employment
makes it necessary for them to be
abroad during the interval between
these hours must obtain passes.
Carrying of firearms is forbidden
unless by permission Of the command
ing officer.
Sale of firearms and ammunition is
prohibited
Public assemblages called for "the
purpose of creating opposition to the
enforcement of martial law" are for
hidden, as is also publication of arti-
cles having a tendency "to incite to
riot or violence or obstruction of the
military"

Serbia Hands War UItimatum
to the BULGARIAN Government

Athens, Sept. 17.-Raids of Bulga-
rian bandit units across the Serb
Bulgarian frontier have resulted in
dangerous tension between Jugo-Slavia
and Bulgaria. The Serbian minister
at Sofia has presented note to the
Bulgarian foreign office, declaring that
any invasion of Serbian territory by
Bulgarian ''comitadjis" (bandits) will
be considered a cause of war, and will
immediately be followed by Serbian
occupation of strategic points in Bull
garia. The Bulgarian government,
aghast at the unequivocal wording of
the message, is preparing to appeal to
the allies to appoint an international
committee to investigate the bandit ac-
tivity, and has promised Jugo-Slayia
all cooperation in suppressing the
bands

JACK DEMPSEY KNOCKS
OUT FIRP0 In SECOND
American Retains Heavyweight Cham
pionship After Savage Battle
With Giant From Argentine.

New York, Sept. 15.-The heavy
weight championship of the world is
safe for the United States. Jack
Dempsey, introduced as champion of
champions" saw to that when he
knocked out Luis Angel Ffrpo, the
shaggy-headed, hairy chested giant
from the Argentine, fifty-seven seconds
after the second round had begun.
Dempsey won, but in doing so he
had to prove that he had all the quail
tiles that a heavyweight champion
ever had.
Firpo lost, but he proved he not
only could take it, which the scoffers
said he could not, but he showed that
until he was beaten into insensibility,
he was dangerous
Six times in the first round, Demp-
sey sent the challenger to the floor
under a battering, savage attack of
lefts and rights to the jaw.
-Four times Firpo, bleeding at the
mouth from the terrific punching,
arose and after the fourth one, with
terrific right-hand smash to the jaw,

floor and through the ropes
Dempsey, groggy, but still possess
ing the fighting instinct that must be
his by natural right, managed to
scramble back into the ring as the
count of four was reached. Firpo tore
at him with amazing speed and
ferocity for one who had a moment
before been given such terrible
punching. Dempsey, his head still far
from clear, covered up until he was
himself again. A few seconds later
the champion dropped Firpo with
right to the jaw.
At the opening of the second round
Dempsey tore after Firpo again, de-
termined to settle the issue then and
there. Once more his assault f1oored
Firpo, and again the challenger arose.
Dempsey's right suddenly landed
flush on Firpo's jaw. He whirled side
ways and this time fell fiat on his
back. He was knocked out cold, and
didn't hear the referees count. The
fight ended in 81 seconds of the
round,

time mas come when it is necessary to
investigate such conditions and charges
in order that the people may know
the truth, which alone can make them
free.
The administration of the present
governor of the state of Oklahoma, if
charges that the openly made against
MIN are true, is one of repeated in
Juries, usurpations, and plumbers, evil
dencing the direct object of establish
ing an absolute tyranny and despot-
ism over this commonwealth.
ITO prove or disprove this, let a
full investigation be made and sub
mitted to the people of the state of
Oklahoma"
