C. Walton and the lower house of the Okla- homa legislature developed today in- to a finish fight as the lawmakers prepared to take their cause to the courts, Meanwhile the state is in doubt as to the official status, of its lower legislative branch, The dramatic action of the nation- al guardsmen in dispersing on or- ders of the governor, 66 house mem- bers who gathered yesterday in the stae capitol at their own call to con- sider impeachment charges left the executive victorious after the first brush, But the contention of the le; islators that the house formaily w: convoked notwithstanding the mili- tary interference presented the un- precedented problem which a court ;must@ solve. From the maze of i charges and counter-charges revolv- {ing about Governor Walton’s fight against mob violence and masked depredations in Oklahoma has ap- peared a tense situation which ob- \servers say is a prelude to # spec- tacular climax, zB The use of military forces to com- { bat “hooded outrages” will continue until domination of one-third of the counties in the state by the Ku Klux Kili ig broken,. the governor said. Within the next few hours, he added, he will place another county under rigid martial law at the request of some of its citizens.

Sept. 27.—The skeleton of Ray Smith, transient la- borer, ‘who disappeared from Barnes- ville in the fall of 1920, and who is believed to have been murdered, was found shortly after 6 o'clock Tuesday evening in its shallow grave on the Peter Engels farm 10 miles. southwest of Barnesville, after three days © of search by Clay county authorities. Immediately foltowing-the inquest: at 2 p.m. yesterday, charges of first degree murder were filed ag Roman Furst, for whom: Smith working when last seen, County torney W. George Ha tt stated. Just as the sun w: Shetiff: P. E. Malvey, in charge ‘of the search, directed a workman. to dig into a slight depression. which he had noticed a short distance ahead of the plowed area. The skeleton was | * found at once. Coroner 0. C. Beck and County Attorney Hammett were notified and a coroner's jury selected at the grave. The body was brought to Moorhead Tuesday night and an inquest was held at 2 p.m. yesterday at the Wright & Sons chapel. Worked by Light With the glare of automobile head- hghts illuminating the field, the skel- eton was exhumed from the grave. A hasty examination in the dim light showed that the skull had been crusKed, Mr. Hammett said. There was no sign of a bullet wound, as far as could be determined. The grave, lying north and south, was about two feet deep—not over two and one-half feet—Mr. Hammett said. The position of .the bones, which had fallen apart, indicated that the body had been hastily tum- bled into the grave, It was lying on its face, slightly on the left side and the knees and hips had been doubled up so that the toes were turned down, the’ heels being higher than the toes, The grave was too short for the body. ‘ Grave on Edge of Field The grave was found near the north edge of a 40-acre field, with no trees or other marks by which it might have been located, nearer than u neighbor's fence, 80 rods to the south. This field is a part of a larger field containing some 300 or 400 acres, Mr. Hammett said, and about a mile from the farm build- ings. The crime is believed to have been committed in Wilkin county about 100 rods from the Wilkin-Clay coun- ty line. Furst and his companions are alleged to have carried the body in a buggy, from the scene of the crime, through the fence. south of the field in which the grave was found. Prisoners Point Qut Field In a search of the field, indicated by the companions of Furst, Carl Marwitz, Fred Marwitz, and Leonard Mallinger who are being held in con- nection with the case, as the one in which Smith was buried, Sheriff Malvey two weeks ago dug just at the edge of the depression which marked the grave, but did not find. the skeleton, Tuesday evening, he said, he be- came dissatisfied with the results of his previous digging and ordered one of the men to dig there again. The body was almost immediately reach- ed. About three. acres of the field had been plowed during the past three days in an effort-to lockte the grave and the flowed area extended to within a few rods'of the grave when work stopped Tuesday evening. A fur- vow nine inches deep was dug by the plow and the earth carefully ex- amined as plow passed through it. | It was believed that the grave would be revealed by the difference'in tex- ture of the ground and possibly by discolofation die to the mixing of the subsoil and the ton . PRICE FIVE CENTS GERMANY PLACED UNDER MILITARY EMERGENCY I$ DECLARED BY CABINET Action Follows That of Ba- varia in Placing Military Government in Control MINERS QUIT WORK General Strike Is Declared in Opposition to Giving Up Passive Resistance Paris, Sept, 27.—The German government has practically been handed over to a military dicta- torship, according to Berlin dis- patches. The situation is re garded as full of dangerous pos- sibilities but as furnishing no basia at present for any action on the part of the allies. Berlin, Sept, 27—At a hurriedly called midnight session of the Ber- lin cabinet ‘attended by General Von Seeckt, chief of staff, the immediate Proclamation of a state of emergency throughout Germany was decided up- on and Minister of Defense Gessler was given executive authority to put into force any military or police measures he might deem warranted in the circumstances. This action is construed in Paris, London and other quarters as virtu- ally placing Germany in the hands of a military dictator. The action of the German govern- ment was taken when news of the ap- pointment of Dr. Von Kahr as mili- tary dictator of Bavaria was re- ceived and the proclamation issued ‘was intended as an offset to the Bavarian manifesto, Bavaria’s, action was wholly unex- pected and the government ‘leaders were.at first at a loss to account for it. Although it is not viewed as a studied affront to the central: govern- ment the manner in which it wi launched nevertheless was conside: ed-as a piece of censorial criticism of the way’ Si which ‘the Berlin gov- ment had called of passive re- ince in the Ruhr. This view prevailed despite asser- tions from Bavaria that her meas- ures were wholly prompted by the suspicious activity of the guards of Adolph Hitler, the national socialist leader and their allied organizations. Great nervousness prevailed in Munich and it is generally believed there, according to reports received by Berlin newspapers that {itle., leader of the Bavarian Fascisti and favoring the separation of Bavaria from the German Reich thinks his time hag,,come and intends to. turn loose the forces which he commands. If he does so there are fears in some quarters that the “Putsch’, would not be confined to Bavaria and it is un- officially suggested that it was prob- ably with this in mind that President Ebert issued the decree imposing a state of emergency throughout Ger- many. MINERS’ STRIKE CALLED, Duesseldorf, Sept, 27.—The miners in Gelsenkirchen and Recklinghausen and Wanne districts, the heart of Gelsenkirchen mine fields, declared a general strike today as the first step in protest against the Berlin government's decision to give up passive resistance and also a; the exploitation of the di the Ruhr by the French. It mated that 6,000 minérs had quit work up to nooh with thousands of others expected to follow. ~ FIGHTS REPORTED London, Sept. 27.—Fighting be- tween communists and sections of the less extreme radicals is reported from Dresden where the parties were holding meetings and processions, a Berlin dispatch to the’ Central News states.

Minister Stanley ~Baldwin, speaking here today, declared that is conference with Premier Poineare in Paris last week had had the effect ‘ef restoring the former, good relations between France and Great, Britain.
