Oklahoma, City, Sept. 17.~The apotlight played on Oklahoma City today In the second act of Oklahoma's martial law drama. Since martial law became effective throughout the state Saturday mid- night, the military has superseded the OKlahoma city police heads; machine Kins have been levelled at the city police statlon and county court, w grand jury has been cancelled and a military court of Investigation sub. stituted and state martial citizens have told “when to go to bed and when to get up.” Troops Are On Duty Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Sapulpa and (heir respective counties of Okl homa, Tulsa aid Creek, are under “absolute martial law,” Troops are on duty in the two larger cities, and adjacent territory. Gen., Baird H, Markham in command at Tulsa is ex- pected to arrive here by airplane to- day. His hurried flight is unexplained. Troops have not appeared at Sapulpa, according to latest Information from that eity., Apparently the remainder of the state is not to feel the pres- sure of military occupation although neither Governor Walton nor Gen. Markham had made any statement to that effect early today. Grand Jury Discharged A special grand jury called to meet today to investigate charges that Gov- ernor Walton used state employes in checking initlative petitiogs recently flled with the secretary of state was suspended last night by orders from Col. W. 8, Key, in command of Okla- homa City. A military court was or- dered to proceed with “Investigation work’ at the direction of the chief executive. The scope of its investi- gation will include matters which the grand jury would not have consid- cred it is understood. Accepts Klan Threat Governor Wadlton declared in his martial law proclamation that Okla- homa City was the headquarters of the Ku Kiux Klan in Oklahoma and that it is here where the sovereign power of the state was defied when the grand dragon of this semi-military organization publicly proclaimed in substance that the savereign state of Oklahoma could not break the power of the klan, Further asserting that “the power of this criminal organization” must be destroyed and that “the source of the power must be destroyed, the executive is expected to guide the mili- tary court inquiry into Ku Klux Klan ‘mw headquarters activities. Klan Cross Flashes While machine guns frowned on strategic points here last night, a huge electric cross nearly 30 feet high blazed from the top of a downtown, building the symbol of the klan. The cross was erected recently by the klan when it became apparent that the governor was directing his military action against that organiza- tion. Tight In City The first disorder growing out of the imposition of martial law occurred when Campbell Russell, former chair- man of the state corporation commis- sion and a political opponent of Gov- ernor Walton, was knocked down in front of a downtown hotel, by Leo , Clark, son of W.

GASOLINE PRICES 6 INN ENGLAND STAI Standard, Texas and Gulf| Cos. Lop Off Cent—Ohio { | New York, Sept. 17. wagon price of gasoline today was reduced one cent & gallon in New England and elght Atlantic scaboard stations by the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and the Guilf Refining Co. The new price ranges from 1§ cents in Washington, D. C,, to 21 cents in Virginia, where there is a state tax of three cents a gallon. The Texas Co, announced it would meet the reduction. The territory in which the cut was announced by the Standard of New Jersey included New Jersey, North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. In ad- dition to the New England states, the Gulf Refining Co. reduced the price in New York and New Jersey.
