FRANCE IS VICTOR IN GERMANY

Official Declaration Ends Passive Resistance in Ruhr, By CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Sept. 26.—The end ■pf Germany’s passive resistance M,o Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr was proclaimed officially < today. The proclamation declared the government will not sign any agreement teariug away any portion of the nation from the Reich. The end of resistance came after nine months. It was Germany’s admission she has lost the “war after the war” and has again been brought to her knees by France. ' The Stresemann government, it was indicated, will attempt to save its face by a complete but dignified admission of capitulation. There will be no whining. The government feels the German people have fought an honorable battle and lost. They now must accept whatever consequences are in store for them. Cost $5,000,000 Weekly With resistance costing upward of $6,000,000 a week and the mark feo valueless quotations *on it had been stopped by many banks, the government had no other choice, but surrender. The population seemed to take the first news of defeat apathetically. to obey, the people accepted Khe loss of their post-war fight against Prance as merely another chapter in the sequence of events which has carried Germany from her proud position of 1914 to her present place as the "sickest country of Europe.’’ People Demoralized As resistance ceased, reports from the Ruhr were not encouraging. Nine months of flghUng without arms has demoralized the once hard-working people of the great industrial region. Proof of this state, the government admitted, is to be found on every corner ip the Ruhr territory. The administration’s liberal hand which poured money lavishly into the Ruhr has turned many of the workers into parasites. The Ruhr has lost its sense of morals. *

FOUR ANGLES TO NI’CRAY AFFAIRS HOLD ATTENTION Collins Ready to Appoint Special Prosecutor Upon Sufficient Demand, Affairs surrounding Governor McCray’s financial difficulties bore the aspect of a calm before a storm today. The situation: The Republican State committee will meet Monday to determine its attitude toward the Governor, possibly to demand his resignation. The Marion County grand Jury will meet Monday to investigate some of the obligations sold by McCray to banks. Acceptances of the trust agreement whereby McCray is seeking to turn his property over to his creditors are being received very slowly. In some quarters It Is said to be doubtful whether the agreement will be accepted within the prescribed thirty-day period dating from Sept. 7. The Circuit Court at Kentland, McCray’s home town, will meet Oct. 8 to determine future action on numerous suits pending against McCray in that court. Postponement Request Denied A request of the Governor that the meeting of the State committee be postponed ten days was denied by Clyde A. W&lb, Republican chairman. The request was made through John Moorman, representing McCray. Moorman said it would be necessory for McCray to be out of the city on private business next week. Guy 8. Condo, attorney representing the Marion Xatlonal Bank, which is pressing the grand Jury investlga-. tion of McCray’s affairs, said witnesses would be ready to testify Monday. He said he expected to send a list of witnessed to Prosecutor William P. Evans. Evans ! not expected to conduct the investigation. Judge James A. Collins is contemplating the appoint ment of a special prosecutor in the case, probably Charles W. Moores, United States commissioner here. Evans is a son-in law of Governor McCray. Will Not Heed Politicians ‘‘lf circumstances warrant Prosecutor Evans will file his motion to appoint a special prosecutor,’’ said Colitis. “I will appoint Moores, who has consented to act. Xothing will be done unless the citizens, not the politicians, of the State, wont the Governor’s actions investigated.” Collins said he would consider it time to act when Condo sends the list of witnesses. Evans said he replied to Condo's request for an investigation, Sept. 19. “I informed him that the grand jury would be at his service Oct. 1. I have not heard from him since. As -to filing a motion for a special prosecutor to handle the case I will act at the proper time.” Evans conferred with McCray in the 1 latter's office for half an hour during the morning. It is understood the Governor sent for him. Following the conference the Governor said personal matters were discussed.

Lawmakers Disperse Quietly Upon Orders of Militia Colonel, After Gathering in Corridors of State Capitol Building. TWO-GUNMEN STAND GRIMLY ALONG INNER WALLS Court Action Now Contemplated by House of Representa- . tive Leader in Attempt to Impeaeh Walton 4 for Military War on Kian. By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Sept. 26.—The Oklahoma legislators attempting to convene for the impeachment of Governor Jack Walton were dispersed before the doors of the Hall of Representatives today by the Oklahoma national guard. The legislators left the Capitol Building silently. There was no demonstration. Court action will be instituted at once, according to Representative W. E. Meßee, to establish their right to meet, despite orders forbidding the session issued by Governor Walton.

The insurgent legislators had been gathering in the capitol building throughout the morning, preparatory to an attempt to convene an extraordinary session at noon today. Exactly at noon, as the Representatives prepared to step forward toward the guard, a shout from the entrance to the Senate chambers directly across the lobby, atracted their attention. Col. W. S. Key of the National Guard asked them to assemble about him. They did so silently. Meanwhile the Governor’s private gunmen and detectives surrounded the. crowd. Colonel Reads Order Colonel Key then read an order signed by Adjutant General Baird Markham informing the Representatives the Governor warned them not to attempt to convene. The conclusion of the order instructed the legislators to disperse. The crowd melted silently. They left the capitol in a body, discussing the development in low tones. Xo show or attempt to use force was made by either side when the climax of Governor Walton’s fight on the Ku-Klux Klan was reached. Opposition to his use of the military in his battle against the Klan causad agitation for his impeachment among the legislators. It was apparent the Governor’s order the crowd disperse had been anticipated by the Representatives and they had plans for further action prepared. The Governor’s detectives and plain clothes men followed the legislators from the building. Governor Walton was at his home. He had not appeared at the capitol all day. The ref-eating company of Representatives was Joined at the capitol rounds by several hundred Women carrying American flags. They were for the most part wives and relatives, of the legislators. Sentries had kept them from entering the capitol building during the morning. The vanguard of the invading representatives arrived at the capitol a few minutes after leaving the hotel. They entered the building unmolested The representatives made no attempt to gather. They strolled about singly and In pairs. “We will not attempt to convene until noon, when the session is called,” it was announced. The Legislators were under constant surveillance. Soldiers fojlowed each group. Allowed Freedom of Halls Word had been received from the capitol building the Representatives would be allowed freedom of the halls and corridors but would not be permitted to enter the Senate chambers or the hall of Representatives. Armed guards were patrollng the capitol grounds and all the corridors of the building. Sentries we e posted at the entrance of the chambers of both branches of the Legislature. About thirty Legislators strolled around the capitol corridors at 10:30. Others were straggling in the one unlocked door. From 150 to 200 guardsmen were on patrol and sentrv duty around the caiptol building. Additional truck loads roared to the entrance every few minutes. The hall of Representatives wan locked and under armed guard, a fart which did not seem to worry the gathering Representatives. “We’ll get In there when the rest of the assembly arrives,” one of them said. “It’s our building—we are the custodians. Something will happen at 12 o’clock.” Movement to Vacate As the hour for the test of strength between the military and legislators drew near. State officers began a movement to vacate the Capitol “because it had become an armed camp filled with gunmen, soldiers and detectives.” E. R. Hlushes, Republican member of the corporation commission, called a meeting of the commissioners to consider moving offices to some location “outside the Walton war zone.” ”1 don’t want citizens appearing before, the commission intimidated by armed guards and gunmen,” Hughes said. Less than forty - of the seventyseven legislators who were claimed pledged to meet at the impeachment session were on hand a few minutes before meeting time. "Kid” Guardsmen They strolled the corridors, smoked vast amounts of cigaretts and

“kidded” the armed guardsmen who followed themMany officers of the military were personal friends of the “enemy” whose invasion they resisted. Only the gunmen on the Governor’s pay roU as private deetctlves were somber and silent. These men with guns strapped outside their coats for quick action stood alone at intervals throughout the corridors. They were for the most part picuresque characters, former sheriffs or deputy sheriffs from the far cqjmties; tall men, bronzed and narrow eyed. Almost without exception they wore the broad brimmed hats of the plains country'. Many of them had the heavy mustaches which were as much a part of the old-time gun experts as were the “shootin’ irons” thepiselves. Disaprove Banter These men were looked on with disapproval at the friendly banter between the guardsmen and the Legislators. Reinforcements were being added to both the guardsmen and State detectives.

Baird Markham assumed personal command cf this guard. LETMCIMEN HITBYSPEAKER 'Rocking Chair Saints' Scored in W, T. C, U.
