LEGISLATURE OF OKLAHOMA WILL MEET WEDNESDAY Host Grabs Cash, Quest Claims It and Shoots Host Managers of two clubs of the Mis- Knurl-Illinois Baseball (the Trolley League) have made known their intention to disregard the ruling of President Duffy in allowing a protest of the Ben Millers, which deprives the Alton Blues ot the pennant for the first half of the split season, Both Manager Robert Fisher of the and the manager of tlie'Carlylo (111.) Boosters, two clubs which have a chance to win the second-half ponnant, declare they will not play the Ben Millers in the play- oft for the season's championship. Manager Fisher last Sunday told a Telegraph reporter his club will not meet the Ben Millers. "Duffy's action was not according to the league constitution," Fisher declared, "and so far as the league pennant winner for the first half. If my club wins the second-half pen mint wo will play Alton in tho play off, not the Ben Millers." The same attitude was taken by the Carlyle manager In conversation with Jack Butler, manager oE tha local club.

Protected July 29 Game Duffy's ruling was on a protest of the Ben Millers' manager, James Keeny, over the game of July 29, won by the Blues, which decided the first-half pennant winner. The Millers alleged that a St. Louis Municipal League player named Deiss was played by Butler under the name "Ede." Because Deiss was not under contract to the Alton club, Duffy's decision said, a violation of league rules, the game was awarded to tho Ben Millers. With that game in the victory column, the Millers gain the first-half pennant. But Duffy's rule Is attacked by Butler, Fisher and the Carlyle manager because: The league pennant for the first-1 estate and tha real estate brokers' half season was given to Alton by a license law will be discussed.

Dale- vote of the league at a meet-1 gates to the next state convention, to J. B. Barber, a negro, was arrested last night and held to the grand jury today on a charge of shooting his host, Cornelius Tittsworth. at 39 Illinois avenue. The row occurred after a game of cards.

The man in jail said that they wore having a card party at Tittsworth's house and that some money was up. Barber salt that he held tho winning hand and was entitled to the cash that was on tire table, but that Tittsworth raked In the pile-and declared that it was his. That was more than Barber could stand. He had a huge re volver, one that would command re spect in any quarters, and he knew how to use it, so what was the use In letting a man get away with the jackpot when it didn't belong to him So Barber unlimbered his artillery and began shooting, and when he was through, he had shattered the lef leg of Tittsworth below the hip and Titlsworth had to be taken to hospital. Magistrate Connors fixet bond for Barber and when lie coulc not give it.

Alton Real Estate Board to Meet Hartford Loses Crossing Case, All Dismissed The railroads passing through Hartford will npt be required to maintain watchmen at their respective Extraordinary Session to crosslngs.according to a decision by Has Usurped State KLAN BEHIND MOVE, WALTON DECLARES Executive Appeals to People of the State to Repudiate Move 'Backed by Klan By Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept, 20. in Oklahoma moved today toward a "showdown" between Governor J. C. Walton and members of the state legislature over the executive's exercise of authority in his war on the Ku Klux Klan and mob floggers.

A call for an extraordinary session of the lower house, to consider a series of charges that Governor Walton has taken unto himself the powers of a despot and has supplanted constitutional government -with a dictatorship, was Issued early thin morning. Members of the Alton Real Estate Board will meet Friday evening In the Klaiv press." The call was made public by W. D. McBee, representative from Stephens county, bore the names of 45 house members, with the promise that during the day the list would grow to constituting a majority ot the house. Noon of next Wednesday is the hour fixed for lha assembling of the lawmakers.

Representative McBee declared he anticipated no attempt by the governor to carry out bis threat to Jail the legislators in the event they cou- vened. "The folly of attempting to carry out his threat to arrnst members has been made apparent to him. He realizes that the call is and cannot be forestalled" McBee asserted. Appeal By Governor At almost the same momsnt the legislative call was promulgated Governor Walton appealed to the people of the state in a proclamation to repudiate the attempt of the law makers to assemble, charging those who are sponsoring the call are "Klan members of the legislature, inspired by the invisible empire and aided by tho Illinois Commerce Commission. The ruling given dismisses the case as to all the rail lines running through the village.

It was said today by E. J. Verlle, who represented the Illinois Terminal and the A. O. St.

that the dismissal of the cases, was given because It was not shown that there any special need for the maintaining ot watchmen. The Illinois Terminal, he said, showed that It ran only two very trains a day through the village, and It waa eliminated for that reason. The cases against tho other railroads were dismissed because it was said that they would run with caution through the and that there was no danger on the crossings such as would justify the use of a crossing watchman. As to tho Alton Granite St, Louis Traction admonition was given to that company to reduce speed running through, especially on the company's limited cars, and also that the company refrain from storing any cars in the vicinity of the road crossing at Hartford, such as would obstruct a view of the tracks. Mrs.

Verlie said that the railroad tracks at Hartford are so far apart that it would be impossible to use one watchman to guard all. the cross ings, aad that at least two would have to be in use. The railroads objected to the expense and took the position that there was not sufficient need for watchmen to justify the expense, as the safety of the crossings CITY OUTGROWS SEWER SYSTEM, RELIEF SOUGHT Wood River Authorizes Engineer to Prepare Plans for Trunk and Other Sewers. EMERGENCY SEEN IN SEWER NEED Sue for Small Sums in Jersey County Courts Mayor Nagel Says that Plan is to Give Good Drainage to Wood River, Old Sewer too Small. Wood River has already outgrown her sewer system.

The fastest growing town in the country, according to the last Federal census, has grown the capacity of the sower system installed there not mauy ye. 3 aso arid so more capacity is to be provided for. The city council of Wood River last evening Instructed C. E. Jolly, the city engineer, to get busy on surveys for a new trunk sewer system that will give relief where It Is needed to the present sewer system.

Mayor Nagle said today that It has not been decided just where the new trunk sewer will be laid. It -will be laid sor.vewhere In the city that -will be conveniently near to the main sewers now serving Wood River. These present main sewers are too small. They laid about ten years ago when a 24 Inch sewer looked to be large enough to meet any demands A suit has been filed In Justi Court by Marcus Ryan, proprietor of Ryan's news stand, ot to collect a bill of 45 cents from George Kadel. for a St.

This is true, they say, whether the Millers' protest is upheld or not. Their stand is that, regardless of tho justice ot the protest, and regardless of the conditions under which Uoiss played, Duffy's action was without legal precedence and cannot be affective, because tho protest came alter tho league, as a The present officers are, 0.

But, the real trouble with the Wood River sewers is too many houses have been connected with them, and the volume of sewage IB BO great that the sewers can not i take care of it in an emergency. The flowing of surface water Into the complicates the situation. Of course the present system be large If no surface water went into the sewers, but owing to the flrt- ness of the city it Is necessary to dispose of the surface water in that way. The big sewer that is to be planned will take into consideration the possible growth of Wood River in next twenty years. For that reason it will ba a large one.

The outlook is. for a great growth there on account ot the prospects of great additions to the oil leflneries in the neighborhood and so the sewer system that will le built will be made correspondingly large. The trunk sewer will be laid where it will quickly take the water trom the other sewers and carry it away to the great sewer of the Standard Oil Co. thus improving the drainage by hastening the passing of the water to a sewer of larger capacity. There are many new additions already attached to Wood River and many more in prc and it is recognized thtt something must be done to take care o.

the problems of sewage and dra'ii- ago that are arising. The heavy rain yesterday caused much complaint because of the inability of the sewer system to carr.y off the water and cellars were flooded. Mayor Nagel said today that the Two Men Beat One Woman in Mule Orgie Ben Spaulding paid a fine of $25 and costs this morning for striking one blow at his wife and Perry Spaulding, his father, was scheduled fo- trial this afternoon In tl.e police court on a charge of taking t'-1 lead in the punishment ot his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Spaulding told the court this morn'ng that her husband and his father were drunk on white mule and that she tried to take a can of the drink away from them.

She had her little children In the house with her. The, husband was too drunk to do much dr.mage to her, she said, but the father-in-law, Perry Spaulding, wag not so drunk and he succeeded In giving her a terrible beating. She showed marks on her body on her neck and arms which she said were the signs of the blows he had given her and she declared that he had even knocked her down and kicked her when she was down. She had witnesses to 'prove that the man had pursued her. When the son was fined he got the money from his father, to whom he had entrusted the money.

"He wouldn't let me keep his money for Jiim last night; he wouldn't even give me money to go somewhere to slay for the night," the wife complained, "but he would give it to father-to Magistrate Connors told Spaulding that he would have to make some ar- Indications today were that no action will be taken this fall or winter regarding the erection ot the proposed new high school building for Alton. While official information was not forthcoming, there was a growing tendency, It was said, to regard nltuatl as such that In the immediate future, as at first planned, will not be necessary. One of the reasons for tha change In attitude Is believed to be the decline In enrollment at the high school. While it was thought that the phenomenal growth of recent years would repeated this year, such has not been the case. The number of graduates from the two junior high schools compared with the number of students who completed the high school course last year, presaged an Increase that would bring the enrollment above the 800 mark.

Many of the students who completed the junior high course, however, did not continue their school work, and Instead ot an Increase, there has been a slight decrease In, enrollment. While the high school building Is overcrowded, even with rooms pt Garfield the old Boals residence utilized, conditions are not as overcrowded as they were expected to be, so that the need for a new building may salt! not to be as pressing as was anticireted, although It is Another factor believed to be In- strumuntal in a postponement of definite action was said to be the, site situation. The school board has wanted the Smith tract, and even went so far as to secure some land in that neighborhood. The efforts the board to secure the Smith tract, however, were without susceas, Mrs. steadfastly refusing to listen to a proposition.

AVhen tho Blues played in Carlyle on uly 4, the Alton manager said" today, Deiss plaved under the Tiame of "Ede." Heine Ede, an Alton boy, had been a member of the Hub and left it. When Butler need- fd a tirst-sacker for the Carlyle game on July 4 he secured Deiss. Tho St. Louis player's name on that occasion wan turned into tho league office as "Edp," because, Butler says, a man (it that name had boon on the club, and Deiss did not desire to play under his own name because his afilintion with tho St. Louis Municipal League.

None of the Alton players contract, Butler said, and sending the name to 'the league office la equivalent to having a man under contract. Dclss was a regular member of tho club, listed in the league office as "Ede," and the protest of the Millers was unfounded, he said. Regardless of the arguments, tno fltund of two of the managers indicates Duffy's action wilt bo nullified. The Boosters now aro leading the league, and it victories in their next two will clinch the pennant. The wlles-Chipmans can win the pennant by capturing their next two games, while the Boosters aro losing one, Should tho Chlpmans lose one game the Boosters can win the pennant by winning one of the tsvo remaining games.

Its flag Is a fiery cross, now high aloft in many public places, evincing its encroachment upon the civil government ot this state. The cross Is an emblem of peace, of amitv and order, and sacred to history. But the fiery cross is the pagan emblem of fear, hatred and rebellion.
