OKLAHOMA CITV, Okla.. Aug. 4.
T"ith one of their leaders dead, another
captured and at least 25 members of
their bands in the hands of peace offi
cers posse leaders tonight were of the
opinion the backbone of the rising: of
objectors to the selective draft in Okla
homa was under control. The out.aws
have been scattered into such small
bands that further success of the re
sistance is bei:eed impossible
In the Federal District Court here
today the demurrer to the indictments
of the 11 alleged members of the "Jones
family," an anti-draft organization,
was overruled by Judge John H. Cot
teral. Bail in each case was fixed at
?500. Trial of the men will be in
Knid early in September.
Wallace Cargill said to be a ringlead
er of the draft resisters. was shot in
the stomach during a f'sht between a
band of 20 of the objectors and posse
men near Kock Springs crossing' late
today. He died a. short time later.
Three others besides Cargill were said
to have been captured.
Names of Leaders Ascertained.
A near-lynching occurred this after
noon in the Lone Dove neighborhood,
when posses caught four objectors, two
McNecly boys. John Gray, an old man.
and "Doc" White, a negro. In their
efforts to get information regarding
the movement of the recalcitrants one
of the SIcNecly boys was strung up
with a rope around his neck. He re
fused to talk and the possemen cut him
down and with the other prisoners, took
him to asakwa.
Between Konawa and Sasakwa three
other prisoners were taken, C. C.
Brewer and his son, and Robert Car
gill. They were taken to Konawa
after they had thrown down their
weapons and had attempted to flee.
From prisoners the name of virtually
every leader has been ascertained.
These call themselves captains and are
distinguished by a brilliant red sash.
Contrary to previous reports the rebels
appeared to be amply supplied with
ammunition, although their firearms
were of every conceivable pattern.
Registers Buy FlrrarmK,
A survey of the hardware stores In
the afflicted district has revealed that
the ammunition stocks have been
bought up for the past several weeks,
evidently in anticipation, of armed re
sistance, i
It was believed that the activities of
the objectors in this state, most of
whom are said to belong to the "Work
ing Class Union." but some being en
rolled in the "Jones Family," a bund
with a similar purpose, and the
I. W. W.." were but a. part of a na
tionally spread propaganda to resist
service in the Army.
Federal authorities here declare the
movement has been widespread but
has been ' so loosely organized that
quick failure was bound to be the in
evitable outcome.
So far no troops have been sent into
the affected districts.
Governor R. L. Williams in a state
ment declared:
"I won't send troops until I see fire
from the smoke."
A survey of the situation, made from
incomplete reports, charged the rioters
with the alleged burning of three rail
road bridges, an unsuccessful attempt
to destroy an oil refinery at AIcAlester
and the terrorizing of many men,
women and children who did not
sympathize with the aims of the tenant
farmers, Indians and negroes who
comprised the bands.
30 Objector In Jail.
About HO alleged objectors were in
Jail tonight at Ada. Holdenvllle and
Wewoka. They were captured last
night and today at various points
throughout the district. Eleven other
persons declared by Federal authori
ties to have been members of the anti
draft organizations, were arraigned in
the United States District Court here
this afternoon. They were accused of
having joined a plot In which it was
planned to raise the red flag of revolu
tion in a wide orgy of rioting.
Guards were stationed tonight at
strategic points throughout Hughes,
Pontotoc, Pottawattomie and Seminole
counties seeking the rioters. Few per
sons in the district were without arms
and it was feared that further trouble
might break out, despite the declara
tions, of. the authorities that the back
bone. of the disorders had been broken.
Opposition Is Sporadic,
Federal, state and county authorities
declared tonight that no efforts would
be spared to break up the draft re
sistance. Little trouble was being ex
perienced, it was ptJinted out, in ob
taining volunteers to aid in prosecuting
the search. They showed, officials
said, that opposition to the draft was
-not . widespread throughout the state
and that only a few malcontents, most
of whom held theorist views of life
and government, had come out against
the Government.
Spreading terror among the peaceful,
law-abiding rural inhabitants and im
pressing innocent men into their ranks,
the objectors have found hiding places
1n the timbered hills and fields of
growing corn and cotton. Possemen
declared it will take several days and
possibly a week before the hunt is
terminated.
Affidavits sworn to by men impressed
into the objectors' ranks, who after
wards escaped, gave evidence that the
plot to withstand service in the Na
tional Army was widespread, but poor
ly organized. It was said the machina
tions included plans to burn and dyna
mite bridges, demoralize traffic in gen
eral and to rob and plunder whenever
the opportunity offered.
Poisonings Is Feared.
Officers and posse members have
been warned not to accept food or
drink at unfriendly farm houses.
Womoo and children left behind by the
recalcitrants were said by officers to
have been instructed to poison the food
and drink of any visitor who cannot
give a prearranged signal, i
Captains of the outlaw .bands wear
red ribbons across their ' easts.
Estimates of the num r of men en
rolled in the objectors' ranks varied.
The popular belief, however, was that
they number between. 500 and 600.

Administration.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) Ed
Wright, of La Grande, was today ap
pointed by the Oregon Public Service

gust 1. Mr. Wright was for several
years County Clerk of Union County
and at the last election was a. candi
date for the Republican nomination to
represent Eastern Oregon on the Pub
lic Service Commission.
Wright will probably begin his duties
September 1. The appointment "causes
no further readjustment in the office
of the Commission at present. The of
fice of the Portland examiner for the
Commission will not be closed at pres
ent, though it is said that this might
be done later as an economical measure.
Appointment of Ranch Considered.
A few days ago the Commission was
considering the appointment of F. A.
Rasch. Portland examiner, to the sec
retaryship and the closing of the Port
land office immediately.
Mr. Wright was considered for the
secretaryship when the commission was
reorganized January 1.
Wright's election was over the oppo
sition of Commissioner Buchtel, who
first nominated Rasch, then Roy
Leedy, present assistant secretary, and
introduced a resolution to consolidate
the grain inspection department and
the examiner's department in Portland
and to transfer Rasch to the secretary
ship in the Salem office.
Buchtel's resolution was voted down.
Commissioner Cory said after the meet
ing that the consolidation proposed by
Buchtel might be effected later.
Wright was nominated by Commis
sioner Cory and the nomination was
seconded by Commissioner Miller.
Resolution Forma Consolidation.
Buchtel's resolution follows:
Whereas. The manifold additional dutln
imposed on this Commission by the recent
Legislature make economy and retrench
ment necessary, if all phases of the Com
mission's work and activities are to be con
ducted effectively and efficiently -without
the creation of a deficiency in its appropria
tion; and.
Whereas, The Commission maintains a
principal office at ISalem. and two branch
offices a sraln inspection department, and
an examiners department in Portland,
with consequent duplication of overhead and
other expense; and,
Whereas, By the consolidation of the ex
aminer's department with the grain in
spection department and the removal of
the Portland examiner to the Salem office,
the Commission, can effect a considerable
savins: and.
Whereas. By rewarding; one of its present
employes by promotion to the secretaryship
to succeed Edward Ostrander, resigned, the
efficiency of the department will be In
creased: therefore, he it
Kesolved, That the examiner's depart
ment in Portland is hereby consolidated with
the grain Inspection department, and Ex
aminer Fred Rasch is hereby transferred to
the Salem office of the Commission; be It
further
Kesolved. That the contemplated addi
tional assistance at the Portland office
be dispensed with.
