OKLAHOMA CITY. Nov. 20.—Gov !
ernor Walton, fifth executive of Okla
homa, was removed from office tonight
by the unanimous vote of the Stale
Senate court of impeachment. After j
his trial on charges of corruption in
office, neglect of duty, moral turpi-j
tude and general incompetence, he
was found guilty of 11 of the 16 j
charges presented to the court which J
by standing vote denied a motion for
a new trial.
This ends one of the most singular
fights in the history of any state. Gov.
Walton was petitioned by residents of
several counties to furnish protection
from the Ku Klux Klans which were
terrorizing the country. Several sher
iffs and peace officers were removed,
for being members of the Klans, and
later military law was proclaimed.
Klan members control the legisla
ture and a special session was called
to impeeach the governor. He refus
ed to allow the capitol building to be
used and appealed to President Cool
idge who issued instructions to Fed
eral officials to allow no meetings to
be held in Federal buildings of the
State.
A special election was then called
for the purpose of calling a special
session of the legislature. The elec
tion carried and the session was held
with the result that Governor Walton
was ousted from office.
The principal charge against him
was that he exceeded the authority of
his office in calling out the militia and
refusing to allow the legislature to
meet. The Governor in defense charg
ed the trial was unfair, in that prac
tically every member of the legisla
ture was a member of the klans; that
it was a foregone conclusion he would
be ousted by his enemies if they were
allowed to conduct his trial; that over
1500 whippings and other depredations
had been committed by the klans dur_
ing the past year, and that unless
their activities were curbed life and
property would be unsafe.
In reply the members of the legis
lature making charges against Gov
ernor Walton alleged that he had ex
ceeded his authority; that he was in
competent, had run the state in debt
by unauthorized official acts, and had
accumulated a vast fortune during his
tenure of office.

ANCHORAGE, Nov. 20.—This city*
today formally launched its fight to
bring the seat of the Third division
district court from Valdez to Anchor
age. Thomas C. Price, president of
the Chamber of Commerce last night
appointed Jerry C. Murphy and Arthur
Thompson as members of a special
committee to prepare data to be sub
mitted. Anchorage will appeal that
court headquarters will be brought to
the railroad metropolis, first, in the
interest of economy and second be
cause the proposed transfer would
best serve the entire population of the
division.
According to the chamber the fighl;
will be vigorously prosecuted in the;
National capital, and all civic forces;
in the city are backing the movement.
If it is demanded Anchorage is said!
to be ready to contribute a part of;
the expense of providing a building to
house the government officials.
There are many good reasons why
the court headquarters should be re
moved, say Anchorage citizens. They
are: First, there are hardly enough
people left in Valdez to fill grand and
petit jury panels.
Second, the expense of holding a
court term In Anchorage Is about half
what It costs the government to hold
a term in Valdez.
Third, and the most Important, It
would mean the addition of about
$100,000 in business each month to

SALE FAKE STOCK
FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 22.—
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, oil operator
and Arctic explorer, who was found
guilty in the Federal court here this
afternoon of misuse of the mails in
connection with operations in the the
Petroleum Producers’ Association, of
which he was sole trustee and mana
ger, was sentenced to fourteen years
and nine months in the Federal pris
on, and fined $12,000 by Federal Judge
Killits.
Dr. Cook was remanded to jail in
default of $75,000 bail. Twelve co
defendants with Dr. Cook were given
one to eigth years in the penitentiary,
and heavily fined.
Dr. Cook, who was made an inter
national character through sheer ef
frontery and bluff was conducting a
cold-blooded, deliberate confidence1
same in fleecing the public, Judge
Killets asserted.
The testimony against Dr. Cook was1
especially damaging, showing that he;
had thrown a number of worthless I
and fictitious companies into a corpo
ration, selling millions of dollars inj
worthless stock to people who could
ill afford their losses. One woman1
testified that after reading Dr. Cook’sj
prospectuses she took the carpets off
the floor and sold them to buy oil
stock. Another small cotton raiser
said he mortgaged his farm and stock
and bought stock, which later proved
to be not worth the paper it was print
ed on.
Dr. Cook maintained elaborate of
fices and a large clerical force, his
printed contracts reaching huge fig
ures.
