Markham, adjutant general, in a series of articles written by Ald- rich Blake, executlve counselor, startled the state. They alleged police at Tulsa had ignored whippings of both men and women and officers had scoffed at the military court. The next important development in the series of kalidescopic events came when Walton in a speech at Ardmore announced masked meetings or parades would be the signal for martial law. J. C. Jewett, grand dragon of the Klan in Oklghoma, re- sponded with a statement defying the governor to break the power of the Klan in Oklahoma. A meeting was scheduled at Bristow for the night the new order was announced. The governor issued orders to Markham to hold his guard ready to interfere.

By the Associnted Press. NEW YORK, September 15.—A re- cent published series of charges by the United Mine Workers of America that the communist International at Moscow < was fomenting industrial revolution in the United States and Canada as a step toward overthrow- ing the governments were character- ized today by John C. Brydon, presi- dent of the National Coal Associa- tion, as a “bald, ineffective and be- lated attempt by the mine workers' officials to evade responsibility for events of which they justly should be ashamed. “Violence in the coal fields” Mr. Brydon declared, “is not due to the machinations of communists who raw their inspiration from Moscow. It is the direct result of an even more dangerous theory of labor cori- quest by destruction, intimidatfon a murder, practiced over wide arcas where the United Mine Workers of America have sought to shut off production during strikes: The association president, who also rman of the bituminous op- 1 committe asserted that “the $17.000,000 a year which the miners’ union raises through the cheek-off h great deal more to do with the maintenance and growtn of violence in the coal fields than has the myth 1 $1,100,000 from the treasures of the soviet.” “Amazed by Stories” | | | | have read with amazement,” Mr. Brydon's. statement begins, ‘the melo- dramatic stories which picture offi- cials of the United Mine Workers as the innocent maldens of ‘industry, with the villians of Moscow still pur- suing them.” He then tells of an exhaustive investigation undertaken by the mine operators as an aid to he United States Coal Commission, and the examination of trial rec ords of “scores of violence cases in- volving officials of the unmion. “Con- tinuing: “Not in one single instance of all those crimes against communities which have spattered coal history with blood, from Kentucky to Utah and from Alabama to Pennsylvani have we found & teasonable evi- dence of any communist influence. What we have found is a creed and a practice based upon the tenet that no American shall mine or ship coal anywhere in the United States in with freedom to his roperty and his life unl e sha Piine that coal in accordance with the dictates of the officials of the United Mine Workers of Americ: Cites Other Violences. “The Herrin massacre has achieved wide publicity and is therefore ome of the counts on which the United Mine Workers of American seeks to defend f{tself. But Herrin was no worse in principle than the killings which followed five days later in Ohio or than the scores of other in stances of violence which accom- panied the strike of 1922. But Herrin. like all the others, is a perfect ex- ample of the flat untruth of the con- tention that any reason other than the iniquitous policy of the leaders of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica is the moying force that stirs, not forelgners but Americans, to un- speakable crimes against their fel- lowmen and & which we think American 1ife. “The names of the indicted men in the Herrin affairs were such names as Otis Clark, Leva Mann, Peter Hiller and Burt Grace. The United States Coal Commission has said that Wil- lHamson county, Ill. ‘is intensely pa- triotic and had a fine record during the world war'—that fts peopte ‘would of as proper to resent any suggestion that they were | not good, patriotic American citizens.” “Something closer to home than propaganda from far-off Moscow is the force which invades such Amer- ican communities and’! transforms into mien who, in- & mem- execut- family. This bers of the gallant squad th. ed the czar and his something is the delibefate policy of eaching men,that might is. right in labor disputes and that there are no rights except those of the érganiza- |tion which claims a superloyalty and displaces loyalties.

In the seven.times that Dempsey knocked Firpo down, in the first round, he used his famous left hook for the job five times. On the fourth knockdown he used a left uppercut to the body and on the fifth he de- livered a powerful right swing to the head. All the left hooks connected with Firpo's head. Slow pictures of the second round were not shown, but the regular speed films showed how the champlon tore into his opponent from the start. sending him to the floor.once and then again for the count. As the referee brought down his arm on the final count. the huge South American was trying to turn over. hands and knees, his head drooping and he was about to give up and top- ple to the floor again. Dempsey caught him as “ten” was called and helped him to his ‘corner. CENTRAL PURCHASE OF U. S. SUPPLIES BUDGET BODY PLAN (Continued from First Page.) possible to obtain good results. Since all of the executive departments and establishments In Washington buy from the contractors listed in the general schedule of supplies of the general supply committee special at- tention was directed to a study of the results obtained through this method of purchase. Many cases were found in which the departments have been able to buy articles in the open mar- ket more cheaply than from the schedule, and many other cases in which purchasing offices in Wash- ington which buy without recourse to the schedule for their field services have been able to get far lower prices by bulk purchases than those obtained under the running con- tracts of the general supply com- mittee. Example Is Given. To point to a striking example of possible economy through consoli- dated purchase, an experiment was carried through successfully by the office of the chief co-ordinator in out- right purchase of definite quantities of a common article—tires and tubes. This was done not only to accomplish an immediate saving and to set In operation the mechanism for continu- us future savings, but chiefly to rove that the federal government is osing possibly as high as two mi lion dollars yearly through consistent use of the running contract method of puréhase. On a total purchase of $82,000 worth of tires and tubes for a three months’ | O period and with only a relatively small part of the field service par ticlpating, the results show a total gross saving of $23,223.77, or 26 per cent, on pneumatic casings; $3,460.02 or 33 per cent on solid an tires. individual sizes of ainst all those ideals | He was on his|up ween. WOMAN IN FUTILE FIRE RESCUE ROLE Painter Burns to Death De- spite Heroic Efforts of Mrs. Wiegand. John Espeler, a painter, seventy- one years old, was burned to death |yesterday afternoon, in his room at 824 6th street southwest, the home of | Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Wiegand. At first it was thought he had ignited his bed with a pipe, after falling asleep, but it was later dis- covered, Mr. Wiegand said, that a small gas stove which Mr, Espeler said he had Intended to light earlier in the day, was in the center of the ruins of the fire. It is. therefore, be- lieved to be the real cause of the fire. A _small boy in the street, seeing smoke issue from an upstairs win- |dow, told Mrs. Wiegand, who broke into the room. The fire and smoke obscured her vision. Selzing the roomer, made an at- tempt te drag him out of the room, but heat and smoke forced her to ahandon the task. The body was found near the door by Chief P. W. Nicholson of Engine Co. No. 14. Dr. Hoffman of Emergency Hos- pital, pronounced Mr. Espeler dead. The body was later removed to the morgue. — per cent; on tubes, 44 per cent, and on solid and cushlion tires, 35 per cent. An important saving to the District government In its purchase of tires and tubes can indirectly be ascribpd to the outcome of this new pian of purchase for the federal government. The District government delayed making awards on bids submitted under its running contract method pending the resuits of the experi- ment by the chief co-ordinator and the bureau of efficiency. Immediately upon receipt of information that the new plan had brought good results the District government advertised for bids in a similar manner. The re- sulting prices have saved the Distriot government approximately $1,648.64 or 21 per cent.

On that date there will be a gen- eral meeting of all students with the faculty, when work of the various courses will be outlined. The school started in 1919 from a demand for legal Instruction by war veterans employed in Washington. The school appealed to employed men generally, and then to em- ployed women. Thus the school has become a means whereby, employed men and women can obtain legal in- struetion at a minimum cost.

COUP SHOCK TO PUBLIC. Madrid Stirred by Rumors, But Remains Outwardly Calm. B the Assoclated Press. ST. JEAN DE LUZ, France (near the Spanish frontier), September 15.— The sudden military revolt whick broke out in Spain Thursday, cmanat- }ing primarily from Barcelona and spreading rapidly to other parts of Spain, came as a shock both to gov- jerning circles and the ordinary pub- i lic. { Farly Thursday morning the first {news came to Madrid simply as a | rumor that the military government {was turning out all the civillan offi- lcials in Barcelona, putting a mili- imry occupation of the city into ef- jfect and cutting all communications {with Madrid. Owing to the fmpo: { sibllity of reaching Catalonta by tel- egraph, telephone or radie, confirma- Official News Scanty. {llon could not be obtalned. Later in the morning lights were seen in the premiers offictal res dence and it was learned that the ministers then present'in Madrid had gathéred in an extraordinary council to,discuss the situation, .but mothing | further could be found out as to what | was occuring, as the note Issued by i the ministers’ gave but a scant fdea |of what reaily had happened. This ! ministerial note was permitted to ipass over the telegraph wires, which had been rigidly closed to messages throughout the night. As the morning advanced the gen- eral public, seeing the flaring head- lines in “the newspapers, began vehemently discussing the deveiop- ments, the Importance of which was magnified by the popular imagination as the news went from mouth to mouth. Still nothing coherent was avallable until noon, when one of the leading newspapers issued a special edition, which of itself was an ex- traordinary event in Spain. \ {_ This gave an extract of the officer: ! pronunciamento. The streets, how- !ever, still presented their accustomed calm, while the soldiers, who usually are numerous about the city, seemed to disappear as if by magic, having received orders confining them to their barracks where they remained {awaiting further orders from their {officers without even the slightest inkling of what had occurred. Hear Alba Resigned. Although it was known about the city that the military had obtained the upper hand all indications of their exercise of power were lack- ing, the public edifices remaining under the guard of the ordinary police and civil guards who, however, seemed to have ,been = reinforced somewhat. Reports regarding the attitude of e cabinet members spread about e city, and it was learned from a \semi-official source that Santiago Alba, the. minister of foreign af- fairs, had resigned his post, his resig- nation being followed closely by that ! of Minister of Labor Arminan. ! The whole military uprising ap- |peared at this time to be directed jagainst Alba, who had roused the ire of the entire corps of officers by his pacifist tendencies. Most of the offi- cer group had evidently determined not to rest until the pacifist element had been eliminated from govern- mental circles, and some idea pre. vailed that Minister Alba was likely to become the victim of the anger of the officers, who blame him and Rhis supporters for the punishment of the officers responsible for the dis- aster at Melilla, while the civilians in_the case remained unscatched. This clvilian element is regarded by the officers and many other Spaniards as equally responsible, ow- ing to the lack of efficiency in or- ganization whioh had resulted in the army being in a state of unreadiness when called upon to perform some real work.

Early last night crowds had gathered in front of the theater to Wwitness the celebrities as they en- tered.

So Pleased He Gives $50 More. Just before Elman was to play his last selection a stood up in the m, nine balcony and in a volce easily heard all over the theater an- mance which he had witnessed was worth much more than the amount deposited at the box office in exchange for tickets—especially since the Red Cross was to get the proceeds. He said that he was going to leave $50 more at the box office on the way out.

Green of the National Red Cross organization, in a brief ad- dress, extended praise to all who aided in making the presentation a success. Regarding. the relations between America and Japan, he said: “When nearly two decades ago dis- aster struck upon our western coast and San Francisco, Sitting smiling by | the Golden Gate, crumbled beneath the | touch of earthquake and horror of con- | fagration, Japan was the first nation of | all the world to come in the gulse of | ‘the Good Samaritan,’ bringing assist- ance and offering aid. What she gave | for that day and for her ability was an Infinitely greater sum than we have ' glven now. We are merely proving | again the perennial character of mercy —that: Lundh, Mme! it is twice blest: it blesseth him who gives and him who takes." . . . You have written for yourself a memory in the heart and the soul of the people of Japan that will never be forgotten or aishonored.

This natural hesitancy, they assert, has influenced what has amounted (0 a virtual decision to ab- stain from public addresses until after the legislative branch of the govern- ment has assembled and recelved his first annual message. The world court question is one to which Mr. Coolidge has given no small amount of attention singce he took up the task lald down by President Harding. It was broached by a number of his callers even be- fore he established himself in the White House executive offices, and it had been brought up from time to time since. Those who have discussed- the mat- ter with the Executive include sev eral senators of the “irreconcllable group and some cabinet officers and party leaders. Thus, he has re. ceived the views of both opponent; and proponents of the court ide; but his_own position has been n. more definitely outlined publicly than t was in his statement to the coun- try after he took the oath of office that he would endeavor to carry through the policies inaugurated by his predecessor. Mr. Coolidge's position on the court plan outlined by Mr. Harding at 8t Louis remains, therefore, a matter of speculation. Neither has there been opportunity to assess the reac- tion of that plan in the Senate, the death of Mr. Harding foulewed soon afterward and betore he had had a chance to give more in detail the plan upon which he believed the two schools of thought In the country might meet. gll\en the late President left Wash- ngton for the West the court lssue had caused a wide difference of opin- ion within his party and there were rumblings of an open split. Whether the St. Louis plan would have served | i |to bring the two groups closer to- | gether remains an open question, but it 1s known that some of the “ir- reconcilables,” if not all of them, are steadfast in their opposition ve made known their position to President, ¥
