* STATE FORCE SENT 10 POLICE COUNTY Martial Law Declared in Ok- lahoma County—Sheriff’s Policy Is Blamed. By the Associated Press. OKMULGEE, Okla.,, June 27.—Ok- mulgee county unexpectedly was Dlaced under martial law last night. Gov. J. C. Walton proclaimed & state of lawlessness and disorder amount- ing to insurrection against civil law rendered necessary placing State troops in control. A great part of the county's population maintains it is bewildered by the executive's ac- tion, and that it is looking about for the “condition of lawlessness and terror,” described by the governor. “Local officers either can not or will not suppre. the breaches of the Peace,” Gov. Walton declared in his proclamation, which was accompanied by a statement signed by three Okmul- Ree county citizens detailing alleged abuses of power by the force of Sher- iff John Russell and declaring the sheriff has been “utterly indifferent” to a series of depredations which threatened “serious riots.” The peti- tion to the governor for “immediate action” was signed by Rev. J. C. Cur- Ty, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at Henryetta; John §torment. Henryetta police chiet and . Sullens, motor car dealer at that hl lnn Sheriff Denles Cha: . Answering, Sheriff Russell declared the governor's action grew out of the arrest of several men carrying special police commissions signed by the gov- ernor and the challenging of a number of other special officers of the governor, who came into Okmulgee county bearing ar pecific allegations by the three t\fll»n% were denied by the sheriff. Under the executive proclamation the inilitary forces are directed to “protect liuman life and keep the public peace \'nlll such time as the local civil authori- can again insure the enforcement of (h« law and the protection of the citi- zens of every race, class and condition, in the enjoyment of clivil rights and lib- erifes guaranteed them by the constitu- tion of the state and of the natlon.” Supreme command in the county is vested In Brig. Gen. Alva J. Niles of Tulsa. Whether the courts or any other branches of the civil government shall continue functioning rests in the mili- tlary commander’s hands. tionil Guard Units from Tulsa, Ok- lahoma City, Muskogee and Wetunka, humbering in all about 200, and includ- ing machine gunners, have been ordered on_duty.

Patterson, director of special schools, will recommend to the board the appointment of about seventy teachers for the grade schools and thirty-five for the high schools. Advance statistics compiled by Mr. Patterson show that approximately 3,000 puplls will enroll in the sum- mer classes. About half of this number will enter the summer high school to be conducted at Central's building unde. the direction of Miss Alice Deal. Classes Overcrowded. The four 8B classes to be operated at Central in connection with the high school course alrcady are over- crowded, Miss Deal said today.

The prosecution at the Morse con- spiracy trial before Justice Stafford and a jury in Criminal Division 1 continued today the introduction of testimony tend- ing to show that the $2,000,000 issue of bonds by the Virginia Shipbuilding Co., which was made possible by the Ship- ping Board cancellng mortgages of $170,000 on the Alexandria plant, were not used by the Morses for the purposes agreed on With the government. The prosecution claims the consent of the Shipping Board was obtained on the as- surance ‘that the debts of the Virginia company would be taken care of, when it now offers to show that bills of the Groton Iron Works and of other Morse corporations were settled with the bonds. Settlement of Clatms. Gardiner L. Boothe, president of the First National Bank of Alexandria, Va., testified that as an attorney he repre- sented a large number of creditors’ claime against the Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation. He said that in July, 1921, attorneys representing claims ag: st the Virginia company were given bonds at the rate of $2,000 in bonds for every $1,000 in claims. Mr. Booth said he re- {ceived $273,000 in bonds, which he still | holas. He sald he represented about one-half of the claims against the corp- oration. Thomas S. Keary, former auditor for the United States Steamship Com- pany, was recalled. He said he re- celved $300,000 worth of the bondwat the offices of the United States Steam- ship Company, May 17, 1920. From an examination of the books he de- clared $200,000 of the bonds were used as collateral with the First National Bank of Boston for a loan of $200,000. Check Was Changed. Mr. Keary told of a check which he was ordered to draw by B. W. Morse to the. order of Philip Reinhardt, March 13, 1919, for $750. Reinhardt was the auditor of the Shipping Board at the Virginia plant and is un- der indictment as_a co-conspirator with the Morses. Later the witness stated Mr. Morse directed the cancel- lation of the check and the substit tion of one to the order of “cas The change was made, according to the witness, and, the check, going through the bank, was paid. The steamship company charged the check to the Virginia company, and later, Mr. Keayy stated, he received a letter from the Virginia company ob- Jecting to the charge. Earlier in_the testimony Keary told how C. W. Morse had ordered an in- debtedness of $1,128,000, due from th transport company to the C. W. Mors company, transferred to the Virgin compa In other words, the Vi ginla Shipbuilding Corporation took over the indebtedness of the trans- port company. This was pald, he sald, with $1,100,000 in first mortgage bonds on the Virginia plant.
