OUTBREAK IN WHERE THE MONEY GOES Question Raised Prior to Drive by Leaders Themselves Is Being Answered A large share of the funds to be raised during the Red Cross Roll Call drive beginning next Monday, Oct, 1 will be useq to continue the relief given the hundred or more | civilians and soldiers of Bismarck and Burleigh county, and to provide a fund for the-many new cases which will arise during the cold winter winter months, The work which has been accom- plished by the social worker during the past five months will indicate something of the work of the future. Forty-four cases requiring relief in Bismarck have been handleq while 86 soldier cases have been handled. Most of the relief cases in Bismarck is that of families which not in- frequently a-widow and eight or ten children or a couple with a large ntly with a husband disinclined to ork, ill, or unable to furnish suf- ficient means of taking care of a large Samily. About $445 a month has been spent by the city, the county, and the Red Cross in caring for these 44 cases in Bismarck although only a small por- tion of them require financial relief. But by employing the services of an efficient and trained social worker who has investigateg the reason the various familieswere unable to sup- port themselves, she was able to ad- vise and aid them so that they could again become a self supporting unit. Relatives of some of the families were found who were willing to con- tribute to their support. In some instances homes with “relatives for an old lady or old man who were un- able to support themselves were found. As a result of this work, in many instances months and even a year or two was spent to accom-, plish it, a ‘considerable amoutt of the expense to the city was cut and the family in many instances placed in more happy circumstances. Friendly Word Helps The relief given in many cases, ,was simply that of advice by the so- cial worker, or assistance in obtain- ing employment or new surround- ings for a family that in some way had been disrupted. A number of delinquencies among the -young peo- ple of the city are constantly being cared for by the Bed Cross, Of the 86 soldier cases which have received the attention of the ocial worker 52 have already been closed, either by the man receiving claims, or a bonus as a result of the intelligent leadership and direction of the social worker. In some in- stances the soldier and his family re- quired financial relief while waiting for their compensation for the soldier who are attempting to obtain claims‘ because of disabilities, which inca- pacitated them for work. The closed cases may be reopened at any time ang the 32 active cases are being prosecuted. 5 While these figures are but for the past five months,—the season during which“east demand is made upon social agencies,—the coming winter will bring many new cases in which financial relief are necessary To give financial relief and con- tinue their wonderful work of re- habilitation of families the Red Cross is asking for a generous re- sponse during their Roll Call. Prac- tically all the money will be used in continuing civilian relief. But a very small amount will be used to defray the overhead expenses of the office.

DESCENDS ON NEW COUNTY Governor Walt, alton Again Threatens More Stringent Martial Rule in Oklahoma RESIDENTS APPEAL Assert That it. Bloodshed and Deplorable Conditions, Ex- ist Through County Oklahoma City, Sept. 28—The legal barricrs separating mem- bers of the lower house of the legislature from an opportunity in the near future to consider impeachment charges against Gov. J. C. Walton were doubled today when George F. Short, state attorney general, upon or- der of the Governor applicd to the atate supreme court for a rehearing of a case decided late yesterday which had declared leg- al a state-wide election set for Oct. 2. Oklahoma City, Sept. 28—The iron hand of the military’descended today on another county in Oklahoma as warning was given by Governor J Walton that omre stringent martial rule is in store for other sections if “invisible government” in the state can be put: down in no othgr way. Upon the appeal’ of more than a score of residents of Sulphur the Governor late last ‘night ordered mil- itary occupation of Murray gounty where the civil authorities, some of whom aro gaid to be contrclled by the Ku Klax Klan, are charited with hav- ing neglected to prosccute p:rsons responsible for! numerous outrages. “Bloodshed and deplorable -condi- tions” exist in the county, the ‘peti- tioners declared in asking for the rigid establishment of martin! law. The persons and property of those not members of the Ku Klux Klan are not safe under the “reign of Klan officers,” they said. Early today at the executive man- tion Gov, Walton declared that¢here will be no end to military rule in the state until mob violence and masked depredation céases. “Martial law is being tightened in- stead of loosened,” he said in deny- ing that troops would be removed. Despite his statement, however, the bélief persisted in well informea quagters that a decrease in the scope cf martial law can be expected with- in the next few days. A legal fight to determine whethe: they are empowered to hold a special session without a call from the Gov- ernor was started late yesterday by the 67 members of the lower house whose attempt to launch an impeach: ment investigation was blocked by ‘troops. They applied in district court here for an injunction to restrain national guardsmen from interfering with u session, deciding to essay no action until the final decision but planning to renew action if the decision is in their favor. The legislators will re- turn to their homes. Both sides agreed the case probably will be threshed out in the United States Supreme court before it is completed. * BATTERY DEMOBILIZED Enid, Oklahoma, Sept. 28.—Battery A, local detachment of the Oklahoma National’ Guard, arrived in Enid at 6 o'clock this morning from Oxlahoma City where the unit has been on duty since the ‘state was declared under martial law.
