After a telephone call had come In
to the local newspaper office tsklng
the night editor to come to a church
and taken to the scene of the klans-
men's meeting place. White robed
figures were darting hither and
thirther but the newspaperman was
not allowed to go close enough to
hear what was said. Within a short
time the order was given the robed
and masked men to lower the tops of
their cars and cover their license tags
and proceed on the drive. This was
done in silence, not a ward being
spoken to break the dull monotony
of the night.
After leaving the meeting place the
klansman went to Tecumseh, the
county seat of Pottawatomie county
and then to Shawnee. After parading!
down the principal streets of Shaw
nee the leader darted to the north
east, the reporter's car was cut from
the parade and he was^dropped near
u wooded park in the city and told
to "give us a good one."

raisin# that amount ?" asked White-
hurst Wednesday. It also was pointed
out that the control of the boll weevil
and the pink boll worm must be es-
tablished through small areas. If cot-
ton were grown intensively, it was
said, the control of the insects would
be more easily accomplished.
Suggestions from men who have
been engaged in practical cotton rais-
ing for nearly a score of years have
pointed toward the advlsibillty of a
re-organiation of the growing system
in Oklahoma, Whitehurst said, and
further suggestions by these men will
be received at the convention.
W. A. Conners, head of the exten-
sion division of A. and M. college at
Stillwater, is to call all his district
agents for this convention, in order
that they may discuss the section of
the state fields which have not been
affected by the boll weevil this year,
and discuss the advlsibillty of placing
restrictions on the sale of seed from
the districts already infested.
'•We must have clean seed next
year." Whitehurst said. "The very
life of the cotton Industry depends on
it. An attempt will be made to for-
mulate some plan between growers
and the bankers for the purchase of
seed for the coming year, and we will
see if Oklahoma cannot stand on her
own feet, instead ot appealing for fed-
eral aid."
Experts from the federal depart-
ment of agricultureha ve promised to
be present at the convention, how-
ever, Whitehurst said and their ad-
vice on the situation generally to be
learned first hand.

REGULATE JITNEYS
Oklahoma City, Sept. 21.—An inves-
tigation of the constitution provisions
uci the law relating to transporta-
tion companies, conducted by K. F.
McKay ot the corporation eommssion,
brought the conclusion that jitneys
cannot be regulated by the corpora-
tion commission. While street car
companies are subject to strict re-
gulations by the state, jitneys, which
often come in direct competition with
street car companies, are only sub-
ject to control by cities in which they
operate. There is no law for regula-
tion of rates and practices of jitneys
operating between cities and towns of
Oklahoma. This discovery was made
in connection with investigation by
the commission relative to an applica-
tion of the mayors of Bartlesville
and Dewey, who asked the commis-
sion to fix rates and schedules for
jitney buses ' operating between
Dewey and Bartlesville. The mayors
stated that they had not been able to
control these buses through city or-
dinance, that service was very poor
and speeding was common, resulting
in many fatal accidents.
