Oklahoma City, July 24--(U. P.) Martial law, invoked in okla homa for the first time in eight years, was enforced to-day at the approach to the toll bridge across the Red River connecting Durant, okla, and Denison, Tex.
 Governor w. II. (Alfalfa BilD Murray, acting to forestalI any ef- fort of the Red River Toll Bridge Company to force him to discon- tinue his blockade of the approach, called out the state forces late last night. He declared an area 100 feet on each side of the highway and one and seven-tenths miles long in stage of seige.. Troops were directed to guard the span and use force if necessary, to con- tinue the blockade.
 'I'm sick of this dilly-dallying around" said Murray. The people have paid for the free bridge and they aren't able to use 1t. The only way to settle this thing Is to go right to bat"

CAPTAIN FRANK HAWKS RECAINS
 RECORD AGAIN
Trip to Havana and Back Was Speedier Than His Air Rival Made

New York, July 24-UP)- Captain Frank W. Hawks, noted speed pilot credited with 30 new air records in the last two years, has regained the New York to Havana record from rival and established a couple of new marks by re- turning the same day.
 Hawks brought his speedy mono plane down at Floyd Bennett field at 8:04 p. m. yesterday after clip ping off 1400 miles from the Cuban capital at the rate of 3.1 every GO seconds.
 The northward trip. completed in seven hours and 31 minutes, was the fastest ever made between the two cities and bettered his own previous mark of hours and A minutes.
 His southward trip, made against headwinds part of the way, was in 8 hours and minutes to shatter the mark established last Saturday by James Goodwin Hall, flying anti prohibitIonist. And it was the first time anyone had made the round trip in one day.
 Two stops were made in each direction for refuelling; at Whining ton, N. C., and Miami, Fla. From Wilmington to New York on the re- turn flight he averaged a trifie less than four miles minute. despite the fact that he encountered rain and a. thunderstorm.

THOMAS EDISON MUST RETIRE FOR
 REST OF LIFE
Must Give Up All Actiy- ities in Regard to His Invention of Making Rubber
BY JOHN R. ZEAL

West Orange, N. J., July 24-- Thomas A. Edison, inventor-hero of one of America's favorite suc- cess stories, has been forced to cease work at the age of 84. Overwork during experiments in producing rubber from the golden rod plant, on which the aged in- ventor worked steadily all last win- ter at Fort Myers, Fla, have made 1t necessary for Edison to take vacation from the laboratory, ac- cording to his brother-in-law, John V. Miller-a vacation that may presage retirement, in view of his advanced age.
 "Since his return from the south on June 16," Miller said, Edison has visited his laboratory only once, and does not plan to visit 1t again for some time" He remains at his estate, Glenmont, in Llewellyn park, and takes automobile rides in the vicinity.
 The figure of the white-haired, deaf inventor is as familiar to mill lions of Americans as his record of achievement in science, a record built up through more than an av- craze lifetime of work with test tube and chemicals, filaments and cartoons. His custom of working IS and 20 hours a day on inventions, neglecting to stop for food or sleep, is prominently recorded on the pages of American biography.
 Across the boulevard from his winter estate in Fort Myers Edison has built a laboratory. Nearby he had planted a large tract of golden rol. He put corps of 12 chemists to work, sending the material through combination of mix ing boiling and compression pro- cesses. Out of the resultant pulp he hoped to produce rubber.
 Naturally Edison did not work almost continuously on the project as he had done in his youth. He contented himself with overseeing the work, visiting the laboratory every afternoon.
 Edison was secretive about the result of his work, but on his 84th birthday on February II he told interviewers he was getting per cent of rubber from the golden-rod pulp and expected to be able to breed better plants so that he could get per cent.

Especial to the DemocraD

Naugatuck, July 24.-Naugatuck which has become renowned all over the nation as the home of champions in athletics, honoroed another of her illustrious sons who has recently brought fame to the borough. Billy Burke, U. $. open golf champion yesterday. Billy himself who came back to the bosom of his childhood proclaimed the day the second greatest event in his life, the other great one be- ing the day few weeks ago when he captured the national title after q terrific battle with George Won Elm in Toledo, a battle that re- quired the playing of an extra 72 holes.
 While honoring champions is nothing new to the borough the demonstration given Billy was one of the greatest. Through 1t all the champion was the same complac- ent, smiling Billy, his one thought throughout the day seemed to be that he was tickled to be back to the home town, to join in the vel come.
 Citizens of all walks of life join
 
 with the arrival of the champion at 1920 until the close of the big banquet rendered in his honor in the evening at St Michaers parish house.

After the party had luncheon at Halls Tavern, Billy was whisked to the Naugatuck Golf club grounds for the exhibition foursome. At the club house the champion greeted many of the old time golfers whom he carried for in his childhood days. Cameras clicked and the champion obliged by posing and making few re- marks for one of the large talking moving news concerns. Warden Green also posed for the talkies and made a few brief remarks. With these formalities over the match got underway, Billy being pai1ed with his cousin, Joie Stein ana Johnny Golden and J. R. Will Hans of New Haven. It was esti- mated that 2,000 witnessed the match. the great attention of the audience being centered on Billy who gave marvellous exhibition, going over the course in less than pas. It is several years since Billy played on the course and in fact kA OrnafIu fhanD- ed since the champ romped over it as & caddy and player. He was unable to recollect what his best gone by. Johnny Golden. Joie Stein, and Jack Williams also gaze wonderful exhibition Both Billy's and Goiden's driv- large gallery to loudly cheer time and again.

 At the finish of the exhibition match Billy was presented with d solid silver plaque inscribed as follows: Presented to Billy Burke, Open Golf Champion of the United States, 1881, by his friends of the Eaugatuck Golf Club, July 23, 1881.
 Parade Big Feature.
 The monster parade rendered in honor of the champion in the even- ing was the big event of the day and was really the event that dis played to Billy, the real feelings of his town folks. Every inch of the way over the line of march which started on Church street and made the circle to Union City and back again was lined on both sides of the several streets.
