VOLUME 34—NUMBER 35. 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.

Louisville and Jefferson County have been called upon to assif* in relief work for stricken Japan. Red Cross workers have hastened to the scene of the disaster and members of all Red Cross organizations are being called upon for funds. The puota for Jefferson county is four hundred dollars. Those wishing to make contributions for this urgent need, will mail checks to R. S. Far mer, treasurer of the local chapter. Dr. S. C. Kitchin, perisedent, has re ceived this plea: September 5, 1923. 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 accept courageously this opportunity to prove once again that the Great est Mother in the World is always at the service of those who suffer. Success depends upon every Chap ter doing its part. In addition to newspaper appeals enlist the serv ice of all war workers and the co operation of all organizations in a hurried systematic canvass. Vrey sincerely yours, JOS. C. LOGAN, Division Manager. Death of Mrs. T. F. Clark Mrs. T. F. Caulk passed away at her home on Broad Street last Fri day.

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. B. B. HIGGINS, Botanist.

Five Millions Asked of America to Aid Japanese Has Been Over-Subscribed Amount Exceeded By More Than a Hundred Thousand Dollars as Contributions Continue to Come. TYPHOID FEVER HAS BROKEN OUT IN TOKIO Refugees From Japan Con firm Reports That Foreign Victims of Disaster Were Robbed and Murdered. Washington, Sept. 11.—The five million dollars originally asked of the American people for Japanese earthquake sufferers was exceeded by more than a hundred thousand dollars today as contributions con tinued to pour in from every section of the country, but Red Cross of cials sent forth the word that con tinued support of the public was necessary. A total of $5,108,500 had been pledged when the hooks were closed for the day. The southern division contributed §96,000. Nine Red Cross relief ships, car rying thousands of tons of cloth ing, building materials, food and other necessities either have sailed or will sail within a few day.s from Pacific coast ports.

Am bassador Hanihara transmitted ex pressions of gratitude from Premicp Yamamoto of Japan. “I am instructed by Count Yama moto, his majesty's minister of state for foreign affairs,” ‘the com munication said, “to convey to the American Red Cross most sincere thanks of the Japanese government for the initial gift of §IOO,OOO and for its continued endeavors in rais ing the relief funds throughout the country entire country of the United S’ates, as well as for every other possible aid that it is endeavoring to render to the relief and rehabili tation work of afflicted Japan. These prompt, gnerous and effective mes sengers of assistance taken by the American Red Cross are very deep ly appreciated by the whole nation of Japan.’* 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 at Miyanioshita, a summer resort in the Hakone district, has been res cued. Many natives have begun to build homes of some kind to protect them selves from the elements. London, Sept. 11.—Refugees from Japan, brought to Shanghai by the steamer Empress of Canada, con firm reports that foreign victims of the disaster were robbed and mur dered, says a Shanghai dispatch to the Morning Post. All the many of whom were taken to hospi tals, told poignont stories of their experiences- Many were penniless and without clothing, while several dementia patients are being cared for. Some of the foreign business con cerns, says the correspondent, have decided against reopening their Yo kohama establishments, fearing that conditions in that city will always been uncertain. Five thousand tons of foodstuffs and medical supplies have been shipped from Shanghai to Kobe, to gether with 80 tons of frozen meats, representing Hong Kong’s donation to the Japanese people. Two relief parties of doctors and nurses have gone to Tokio and Yo kohama. It is reported that Kobe is overcrowded and that there is danger of an epidemic there. 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 the Peninsula of Boso. and also on the Izu Peninsula.

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.
