Walton and mem bers of the state legislature over the Executive's exercise of authority and his war on the Ku Kiux Klan and mob flog gers. A call for an extraordinary session of the lower house to consider a series of charges that Governor Walton has tak en unto himself the powers of a despot and has supplanted constitutional gov ernment with a dictatorship, was issued early this morning.

Noon next Wednesday is the hour fixed for the assembling of the lawmakers. Representative Mcßee declared he an ticipated no attempt by the Governor to carry out his threat to jail the legidla- the event that they convened. ‘‘The folly of attempting to carry out his threat to arrest members has been made apparent to him.. He realizes that the call is legal and cannot be fore stalled," Mcßee asserted. At almost the same moment that the legislative call was issued Governor Wal ton appenled to the people of the state in a proclamation, to repudiate the at tempt of the lawmakers to assemble, charging that those sponsoring the move ments are "Klan members” of the legis lature “inspired by the Invisible Em pire, and aided by the Klan press.” It was asserted by Representative Me liee that Governor Walton in conjunc tion with Murray F. Gipbons, speaker of the House, was contemplating the is suance of a call for a special session “in a last desperate effort with the hope bqya. might Jw won, over to his cause by a snow of desire to rem edy a situation that he has created." Mcßee released the call drawn by house members, he explained, “to beat the Gov ernor to it.” Oklahoma Pity, Sept. 20 (By the As sociated Press).—To forestall charges at the extraordniary session of the Oklaho ma legislature called to meet next Wed nesday is a “Klan legislature,” a com mittee of'seven state representatives is sued a statement today in which they de clared they advocated "a law prohibiting the wearing of masks, of masked assem blages, and of severe penalties for flog gings or violence of any kind.” JACKSON PARISH SENDS PROTEST TO GOVERNOR People There Charge Ku Klux Klan Set' I'p “Supar Government.” (By tfea SMWgitel Press.* Baton Rouge.

Se)it. 20 (Capital News Service). —Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, speaking before the Canadian Bar Association, found tliat only in a getting back to the old idea of complete respect for law, could a lasting peace be obtained. Mr. Hughes stated that “to abandon the struggle toward pence was to admit the failure of civilization. The seentiment of the people of every nation must be behind any concerted ef fort for world pease. All the measures ever though of for the establishment of peace depended for their success on the will to peace of the people behind them. “The only way, therefore, and the way that leaders of men must follow to lead humanity to peace, is the cultivation afresh of that sense, almost lost during the great war, of respect for law for its own sake, regardless of the force behind it. When the sentiment of the people of tile world favors obedience to law, then international laws may rule the world in peace. Without that senti ment no artificial means would be effec tive.” / . < Professor Charles E. Merriam, chair of Political Science of the I'niversity of Chicago, in a speech made before the Conference on Political Science, held at tile University of Wisconsin, said: “There have been three great scourges in tin- history of mankind—pestilence, | famine, and war. The first two have | practically disappeared among civilized peoples by analyzing, studying, and cir cumventing them. Why is war any less I susceptible to scientific study*than pes tilence and famine? Law can banish . war just, as increased knowledge and skill have abolished the first two. “Political research and investigation must be organized to the point where governmental information of all kinds is readily available to all workers in convenient form. We need compre hensive, detailed, and scientifically ac curate reports on the thousands of ex periments in government that arc con stantly going on.” THE COTTON MARKET Excited Advance of Yesterday Followed by Reliction at Opening of Market. 4l*v th# A*MMM*V»te6 Ptfm.> New York, Sept. 20.—The excited ad vance of late yesterday afternoon was followed by reactions at the opening of the cotton market today.

Mayor Cauffiel declared he “gives them the limit of tlie law accord ing to their offenses and then orders them to leave the city when their terms, which vary from a few days to 00 days, expire.” On an average day, he said, about a half dozen negroes appear before the court. Some days none are ar raigned, he added, and one day, imme diately after the shooting of the officers at Rosedale, 125 were in court. Tlie mayor declared that under his in structions the Johnstown police were making periodic and systematic searches of negroes, who have lived here less than seven years, for weapons. He nlso stated that lie had forbidden the sale of firearms and their display in store win dows. The police, however, are not be ing used to compel negroes to leave Johnstown, he asserted.
