OKLAHOMA KU KLUX
> SUBMITS TO EDICT
' OF THE GOVERAIQR
“Invisible Empire’’ Lays
Aside its Invisibility, Obey
ing an Order Against Mask
ed Gatherings.
Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 11. —
The “invisible empire” laid aside its
invisibility in Oklahoma today, sub
mitting to the edict of Gov. J. C.
Walton aganst masked parades and
meetings.
1 All members of the Ku Klux Klan
in the state had orders from the
grand dragon of the Oklahoma
realms that robes and hoods must
no longer be worn in public.
The unmasking of the klan left
Governor Walton in command of
the field in his war on the secret
organization, to which he attributes
floggings and other mob outrages,
but it was not without violent pro
test that state klan officials decided
to bow to his ultimatum.
Grand Dragon X. C. Jewett made
it plain that only the governor’s
threat of martial law for communi
ties in which masked demonstrations
were held, led to the decision to dis
card robes and hoods in public.
A klan meeting near Bristow las!
night was the first to unmask under
the governor’s orders. “Our robes
have been left behind because we do
not want to give the governor an
excuse for martial law in Greek
County,” said Rev. W. O. Beech,
pastor of the Baptist Church at Bris
tow, addressing the gathering.
Will Not Resist “Czar.”
Basil Newton, of Atlanta, a na
tional lecturer for the klan, who
delivered ' the principal address, de
clared that kiansmen in Oklahoma
would not resist the “czar” but
would satisfy themselves with ac
tion at the next election.
Three demands are required from
the klan, Governor , Walton an
nounced : '
“Second, flogging parties, threats
and intimidations and unlawful ac
tivities must be banned.
' “Three, the klan must cease to ex
ercise, or attempt to exercise, any
influence over municipal and coun
ty officials, juries and courts.”
These demands will be applica
ble to all other organizations, the
governor said.
All reports leading to the belief
that local governments have be
|come subservient to any secret or
ganization, he said, will be open to
prompt investigation and upon estab
lishment of suffici:nt proof, such
cities and counties will be placed
under military law until such time
as constitutional government shall
have been restored.

THE NEWS AND FARMER
LOUISVILLE ASKED
10 HELP JAPAN
Four Hundred Dollars Quota

of all Red Cross organizations are
being called upon for funds. The

need, will mail checks to R. S. Far
mer, treasurer of the local chapter.
Dr. S. C. Kitchin, perisedent, has re

To All Chapter Chairmen:
Japan s fearful tragedy and great
need of help stirs our whole nation,
and Red Cross workers everywhere
are joining hands to alleviate the
unspeakable suffering which faces
millions of refugees. Help must go
to them immediately.
Responsibility for this great task
is placed squarely upon our Red
Cross Chapters by the President of
the United States: and we should

Success depends upon every Chap

hurried systematic canvass.
Vrey sincerely yours,

Miss Lee Pannel, daughter of Rev-
Pannel, was the wife of the late
Mr. T. F. Caulk, who was superin
tendent of the Baptist Sunday school

Jefferson County activities. Asa
young woman Mrs. Caulk was noted
for her beauty and musical accom
plishments. She is survived by one
niece, Mrs. Joseph Littlefield, of

dren, Mrs. Lamar Peterson, of AVad
ley, and D. C. Hamilton, of Chatta

WINTER INJURY
TO PEGAi TREES
During the present summer many
reports have come to the Georgia
Experiment Station that numbers of
young pecan trees were dying. In
most cases the trees started into
growth and appeared perfectly nor
mal for a time, then the leaves turn
ed yellow, growth ceased, and the
tree died to the surface of the soil.
If examined when the leaves first
began to show the unhealthy color,
the sap-wood near the base of the
tree was found to be dead and dark
colored. The sap-wood in this re
gion soon develops a peculiar odor
which has suggested the name
“Sour Sap,” by which the disease is
generally known among growers.
The bark over this region soon
dies, and, if the injury extends en
tirely around the tree, the underly
ing tissues dry out and fail to trans
port water and plant food to the
upper part of the tree
injured trees arc often attacked
by bark beetles that bore small
holes into the bark and sap-wood.
Growers often attribute the death of
the trees to the work of this insect.
The bark beetle only attacks trees
that are already in a dying condi
tion.
The injury is in someway pro
duced by cold. It is generally
thought the sun shining on the
trunk while the tree is frozen
causes injury to the tender cambium
tissues between the bark and the
wood. Such injury occurs frequently
to peach and pecan trees in this
state. In pecans it is usually found
only in young trees, before the sixth
year. After this time the bark be
comes thicker and more corky, and
seems to protect the trunk from in
jury.
Many growers now practice wrap
ping the trunks of young trees with
sacks, grass, or other protecting
materials and have succeeded in sav
ing the trees.
After a tree is once injured there
is little hope of saving it. The best
thing to do is cut the tree off near
the surface of the soil. The stump
will soon send up new sprouts. Re
move all but one so that this one
will get all the nourishment pos
sible, and it will be large enough to
bud the following summer. The old
root system will push the bud into
bearing two or three years earlier
than a bud on a young seedling.

thanks of the Japanese government
for the initial gift of §IOO,OOO and

London, Sept. It.—Typhoid and
dysentery have broken out in To
kio and there is great need for
medical supplies, says a dispatch to
the Daily Express, dated Sunday.
Distressing scenes arc being wit
nessed daily as foreigners and Jap
anese continue their search of the
ruins for relatives. Many bodies are
still lying in the streets.
The group of foreigners marooned

Washington, Sept- 11.—The bodies
of 60,000 dead had been cremated
by the authorities in Tokio up to
midnight of September 8, the Japan
ese minister of home affairs said in
a message received here today at
the Japanese embassy. The number
of bodies still unrecovered is prob
ably very great, it was added. The
casualties in Yokohama was esti
mated at 110,000 or one-quarter of
the entire population, and many
more dead were said to he unac
counted for in outlying districts.
An official investigation, it was
said, shows that in Yokohama, of
3,000 foreign residents, 100 were
killed, including 50 British and 20
Americans.
The foreign minister declared to
be untrue reports that the capital
was to be removed from Tokio, al
though he said many of the in
dustrial, commercial and publishing
houses plan to remove temporarily
to the Osaka and Kobe districts.
“Following the first shock on the
first of September,” the ministed
said in his dispatch, “1,319 separate
shocks were recorded up to 6 a. m.
on the sixth of September.
“The region suffering the extreme
earthquake shock extends 100 miles
from north to south and 130 miles
cast to west, or from Suzukawa on
the Tokaido line to Kofu, Yenkyo,
Hachicji, Warabi, Tsuchirua, and to

CONWELL CAN NOT BE
ON TAX COMMISSION
Time Too Fully Occupied
With Cotton Association.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11.—Because of
demands upon his time, J. E. Con
well, president of the Georgia Cot
ton Growers' Co-operative Associa
tion, has notified Governor Walker
he will not he able to serve on the
special tax commission.
In his letter to Governor Walker,
Mr. Conwell says: “My time is so
fully occupied that I can not, in
justice .to myself or to the mem
bers of the Georgia Cotton Growers’
Co-operative Association, accept the
position, having not one minute of
time to devote to it, I will, there
fore, ask you to relieve me.'*
Mr. Conw'ell was appointed as one
of the prominent farmers of tljc
state and Governor Walker says if
he still finds he will be unable to
give the time some other upstanding
and representative farmer will he
selected to fill the vacancy.
There is some doubt that Hon.
Fuller E. Callaway, of LaGrange, one
of the largest cotton mill men in
the state, will be able to devote his
time to the work of the committee,
in full, because of illness, hut Gov
ernor Walker has asked that Mr.
Callaway remain on the commission
and give it as much time as he can,
in safety to his health and to him
self. There are tw*o other manu
facturers on the commission
In rccpect to any vacancies on
the advisory hoard, no vacancies
which might occur will be filled by
other appointments, and thus far
only one such vacancy has oc
curred.
There has been no change made
in the tentative dates fixed for the
meetings of the commission, the
first of which is to he held in At
lanta on the 17th, followed by one
in Rome the next day. It is Gov
ernor Walker's purpose to attend
practically all the meetings, hut he
will not make any fixed speeches
at any of the places. He may, he
said today, make some informal
statement of the purposes of the
creation of the special commission
during the early stages of the
work, however.
CLEARWATER MILL
OPERATOR ARRESTED
Charged With Disposing
Property Under Lien.
Aiken. S- C.. Sept. 11.—Walter S.
Couch, operator at the Seminole
mills, Clearwater. Horsecreek Valley,
was arrested today by Constable
Gary Seiglcr on a warrant charging
him with disposing of property
under lien.
Couch resides in Augusta, and
about two weeks ago was on his
way home when his car collided
with that of Ray Woodward, of
Aiken, badly wounding Mr. Wood
ward about the face and body and
wrecking the Woodward car. Sheriff
Howard attached the car of Couch
for the sum of $1,900 in a damage
suit brought by Ray Woodward.
Ernest Garvin, of Wagener, was
given a mortgage on his car by
Couch for going on his bond and
the car was released. It was learned
by Ernest Garvin that Couch had
traded cars in Augusta last week,
and Garvin swore out a warrant for
his arrest. He was placed in jail this
afternoon, and the automobile agents
in Augusta communicated with re
garding the disposition of the new
car which was seized by Constable
Seigler in place of the one traded
for. The penalty- is one to two years
imprisonment for the act Couch is
charged with, or a fine up to SSOO.
Tom Thomas and his wife, color
ed farm people residing near Gran
iteville, were very seriously injured
late last night when their automo
bile ran against a parked wood
wagon alongside of the Graniteville
road. The auto was turned over sev
eral times and Thomas and his wife
knocked unconscious from the im
pact. Both were hurried to the
Aiken hospital by a physician of
Graniteville who considers their
hurts dangerously serious.
The owner of the standing wood
wagon has not as yet been found.
fectcd area is 6,000,000 and the
property damage, which is. of course
immense, is not determined or esti
mated.
“Part of earth ramparts surround
ing the imperial detached palace at
Nikko were damaged, but the em
peror and empress are safe.
“After the first shock the prince
regent went from the main palace
in Tokio, where he was attending
to the usual business, to the Akas
aka palace, and lived in a tent in
the garden from that time until
the afternoon of the sixth, when he
again went back to his usual quar
ters in the Akasaka palace.”
“Up to midnight of the eighth,
the authorities in Tokio have burn
ed the bodies of 60,000 dead- The
number still unfound, those drown
ed, buried under debris, or burned
in the general conflagration, is prob
ably very great.
“Up to the eighth in Tokio, first
aid had been administered in the
emergency hospital stations to up
wards of 500,000 injured and sick.
“Casualties in Yokohama arc now
estimated at 110,000 or one quarter
of the entire population.”
