JUDGE REFUSES TO
DISQUALIFY SELF
By Associated Press
Bastrop, La., Nov. 8.—Judge Odom
today overruled the motion of the de-
fense In the Morehouse misdemeanor
trials that he rescue or disqualify
himself. The defense gave notice that
it would immediately apply to the su-
preme court for writs of prohibition
and certiorari. The defense counsel
had charged that the court was biased
and prejudiced.
Judge Odom fined Captain J. K.
Skipwith, exalted cyclops of the More-
house Ku Klux Klan, W. G. McIntosh,
Benton Pratt and Marvin Picked $10
and costs. They were convicted Mon-
day of carrying firearms on the prem-
ises of another. The fine was the
limit and the court saiji that in default
of payment the term in jail would be
live days. He said the only reason
he did not send them to work on the
roads was because it had been shown
that the raid in which the offense oc-
curred whs with the permission of
Sheriff Carpenter.
SPECTACULAR ROB
BERY AT OGDEN, KAN.
HOLD PEOPLE AT BAY
By Associated Press
Ogden, Kansas, Nov. 8.—Bolding
townsmen at bay for two hiurs early
today, bandits blew open the safe of
the Ogdgen State Bank and escaped
with an undetermnied amount of cash,
Liberty bonds and other valuables.
The gang was composed of eight to
ten men. All telegraph and telephone
wires leading into the town were cut.
The bandits then posted guards at
the principal corners of the ,town
while several entered the bank and
worked on the vault. Whenever a
resident made his appearance or a
light appeared in any of the residen-
ces, shots were fired in that direction.
Citizens circled the town in a car,
drove eight miles to a rural telephone
station and notified ofllcers at Junc-
tion City and Manhattan. A posse of
officers from Junction City, augment-
ed by a detachment of soldiers from
Fort Riley, reached Ogden within half
hour after the departure of the ban-

By International News Service
Oklahoma City, Nov. 8.—Counsel
for Governor Walton announced late
today that they will carry his plea
for an injunction against impeach-
ment to the United Stages Supreme
Court. This will be dona in the event
the federal court which! refused the
writ yesterday, on its Jiext hearing
will again refuse the request. ,
The decision to halt the impeach-
ment of Walton was denied by Fed-
eral Judge John H. Cotteral late Wed-
nesday, fifteen minutes after attorneys
had completed their arguments.
A bitter conflict between the prose-
cution and defense in the Walton trial
broke out today. Defense attorneys
branded the procedure as contrary to
law, illegal, unprecedented and highly
injurious to the accused. The pros-
ecution hopes to end its case by next
Tuesday, forecasting an early close
of the trial. No specific objection to
Walton’s answer of “not guilty” to
the charges preferred was made.
The Ku Klux Klan today broke its
long silence since the martial law
lifting. N. C. Jewell, state wizard,
said: “Walton cannot break the Klan
in Oklahoma or any other state. The
Klan is not an issue; Walton is only
using the Klan to camouflage the real
situation.’’

HERALD WANT ADS BBT RESULTS
By Associate# Press
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 8—A test of
more than a year having proven the
popularity of publishing the New Tes-
tament in serial form as a weekly
feature, The Topeka State Journal
among the few if not the first news-
paper in the United States to attempt
such an innovation, has announced its
to continue the series by print-
ing the entire Bible in a “continued
story” form.
The complication has been prepar-
ed by Rr. Charles M. Sheldon, widely
know Topeka minister and author,
and editor of the Christian Herald of
New York. It was Dr. Sheldon’s
suggestion that the New Testament
serial was started by the Journal.
The new serial will be.known as
“The Everyday Bible.” It is a con-
densed form,-all passages of a contro-
.versial nature or such as might be
considered objectional for public read-
ing being eliminated The main his-
torial data and teachings remain.
“This form of the Bible is designed
for the newspaper reader who has not
the time nor perhaps the inclination
to read the Bible in its entirety,” said
jythur J. Carruth Jr., manager of The
Journal “It le really a busy man’s
Bible, told , in interesting story form.
“The printing of the New Testa-
ment in serial from has aroused in-
terest all over the English speaking
world. We have letters frem every
state in the Union; from many parts
of Canada, from Australia and from
England. Several British newspapers
not only inquired about the success of
the undertaking but indicated their
intention of adopting a like plan. A
number of newspapers in the United
States took up the serial.
“Our publication of the New Testa-
ment will be completed next month.
We have used a ‘newspaper English’
version and are convinced that our
readers have taken a tremendous in-
terest in the plan.”
