DRAGGED OUT
Battle PROBABLE
IN STATE OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City. Sept. 27.-(By A. P.)
The pyrotechnics that have kept Ok
lahoma afame since Governor J. C.
Walton opened his war on the Ku Klux
Khan. and state legislators in turn in
stituted drive to impeach the execu-
tive, began to fade out tonight with
long. dull court battle in prospect.
The first move to test in the courts
the legality of the special session Of
the lower house Of the legislature call
ed by members who hold 1t is their
right to investigate the official acts of
Governor Walton. was taken in state
district court here late today. Sixty
seven house members applied for q
temporary injunction restraining Adju-
tant General B. Fl. Markham and all
members Of the Oklahoma national
guard from interfering with meetings
of the house.
No order was issued by the court
during the brief proceedings and by
agreement hearing on the petition was
set for next Tuesday before Judge j.
|. Phelps.
A pledge was signed by the legisla-
tors that should the court Iinally de-
eide they have authority to meet as
an iiilptttIIueHt DOuy, Iney VIII con-
vene upon call of Representative w
u. McBce of stephens county. one OF
the leaders of the rebel" Legislators.
No further attempt will be made to
convene. 1t was agreed, until the issue
is decided In the state supreme court,
and then there remains the possibility
that the case will go to the L. S. SUI
prone court. A temporary Injunction
if granted by the district court. will
be made the basis for another attempt
to assemble. the legislators decided.
Expressing satisfaction with tho sit
uation. Governor Walton declared to-
day "the fight is over so far as the
house Is concerned"
There were Indications tonight that
within the next few days the governor
would modify his martial law rcgula-
tions and retire the greater part of
the troops now modified.
No relaxation in the investigation
into cases of mob violence will follow,
however. it was made plain.
The injunction petition flied by the
legislators declared that the action Of

ing through force and arms to prevent
