Wednesday was spent in listening to the various reports of the International Grand Officers. The reports Durham, N. C.—"I have paid no attention since I have been Governor to dozens of falsehoods put into circulation about me, but whoever informed Bruce Craven, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, and published in the press of the State, that I made application for membership in the Ku Klux Klan, is a liar," declared Governor Morrison. The statement came from the Governor after an announcement was made by Major Bruce Craven, declaring the "Klan" disbanded and abandoned, and in which statement Major Craven asserted that he had been led to join the "Klan" after he had been informed that men like Senator Simmons, Governor Morrison, General Pershing and others were members. THE BROAD AX showed great increase in the membership and finance the past year. Thursday was taken up with committee reports and election of officers. Hon. S. A. Jordan was elected I. C. G. M. by the unanimous vote of the Grand Body. Also A. R. Chinn, C. G. M. of Missouri, elected I. C. G. Secretary. The International President, S. A. Jordan, paid a high tribute to the heads of the various state departments for the encouragement for the organization in general and for the good work performed in the various states. He also advised them to be faithful in the discharge of their duties, to be honest to their duties, to the organization, to build up a strong hold throughout the country and to make business for the boys and girls of the race.

CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921. Harry J. The Head and the Front of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor COMMODORE PECK, HONORARY PRESIDENT, CHICAGO WOMAN'S BAND Commodore Ferdinand Peck, Chicago's oldest native-born citizen, born in '48, has not curbed his indomitable, restless, creative genius. Not satisfied with "conquering" kings of Europe, as he did preceding the World's Fair, gaining uniform support of that enterprise from abroad; not satisfied with the conception and erection of the first Confederate monument in the North; not satisfied with being the "Father of Grand Opera" in promoting the Opera Festival of 1885 in the Old Exposition Building on the Lake front; not satisfied with the creation of the famous Auditorium of Chicago, nor with the great American commercial caravan he led to the Paris Exposition of 1885; not stopping with the successes following in his wake in the founding of many other Chicago public institutions of gigantic proportions, the insatiable energy of Commodore Peck has impelled him to a part in Mayor Thompson's recent Pageant of Progress, the shining light of which was the Chicago Woman's Band which has been breathed into active, public being by the commodore. This leader of men and things swung this band into the parade preceding the pageant where, resplendent in their crimson capes, skirts and turbans, 160 girls, composing the band, proved the great attraction of the Pageant of Progress and continued their daily attractiveness midst the paultis of the gathered multitudes at that great event. No musical institution of Chicago has gained a place in the hearts of Chicagooans more quickly than has this band. From its general director, John S. Greenwalt, its charming conductor, Miss Miriam Greenwalt, its stately, graceful drum major, Miss Ruth Sinclair, down to the last of the twenty drummers, the organization is thoroughly loyal to Chicago and loves the musical harmony it can produce and will continue to produce to please the ears of its thousands of hearers wherever they play. Commodore Peck predicts that the band will soon be world-famous. Engagements are awaiting them at "White City," Milwaukee and Indianapolis, and applications for engagements are coming in daily. The organization is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and at a meeting held recently in the office of Commodore Peck the following officers were selected: Honorary President — Ferdinand SIR KNIGHT S. A. JORDAN President—Mrs. Samuel S. Hutchinson. Vice-President—W. N. Horner. Manager and Secretary—Mrs. K. C. Raclin. Corresponding Secretary — Mrs. Ferdinand W. Pirnat. General Director—John S. Greenwalt. Conductor — Miss Miriam Greenwalt. Trustees Mrs. Samuel S. Hutchinson, W. N. Horner, Mrs. Jacob Baur, Mrs. Jean Prescott Adams, Mrs. Walter Lytton, John S. Greenwalt, Mrs. K. C. Raclin. The band is also sponsored by the Illinois Women's Athletic Club and Mayor William 'Hale Thompson is honorary member. THE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE AT ATLANTA, GA. Last week the National Negro Business League held forth at Atlanta, Ga., and all of its sessions were largely attended at the Wednesday evening session was attended by fully five thousand people. The meeting was held at the Auditorium Armory, Mayor James J. Key, who was accompanied by Hon. John J. Eagan, a banker of Atlanta, spoke in terms of earnest approval of the efforts of the Colored people of Atlanta and of Georgia to win a place in the business world. He referred in detail not only to what Colored business men are accomplishing but to what the city of Atlanta is doing in the way of encouraging them. President's Annual Address. The address of Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, was the feature of the Wednesday evening session. Dr. Moton's address was well received by the large and enthusiastic audience present. Officers Elected by Acclamation. At the conclusion of the president's annual address, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the executive secretary of the National Organization advanced to the front of the platform and in a short address called attention to the need of harmony among the Colored people of the United States and emphasized the need and necessity of there being complete harmony among all connected with the league if it is to achieve its greatest success. He concluded his remarks by offering a motion that the rules of the organization be suspended and that Dr. Moton be re-elected by acclamation as president of the league for another year. Dr. Moton in turn made an address of similar character and concluded his remarks by offering a motion that the rules be suspended and that Dr. Emmett J. Scott be re-elected by acclamation as secretary of the league for another year. Similar motions were made by Honorable Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, and president of the National Negro Bar Association, that the rules be suspended and that Bishop Robert E. Jones, chairman of the executive committee of the national organization, be re-elected by acclamation as chairman of the executive committee. Following Mr. Howard's motion, Mrs. Booker T. Washington offered a motion that the Treasurer, Mr. Charles H. Anderson, of Jacksonville, Florida, also be re-elected by acclamation. Each one of these motions as offered was unanimously adopted. A feature of the Wednesday evening's program was the story told by Mr. Henry H. Pace, President of the Pace Phonograph Corporation of New York City, of the manufacturing of phonograph records of Negro voices by a Negro company. Mr. Pace stated that the aim of the company was to afford to Negro persons of musical talent the opportunity to have their art recorded and to open places of agreeable employment for larger numbers of the race. President of Liberia Present At the Thursday morning session Dr. Scott, the Executive Secretary, called attention to a telegram just received from President Charles Dunbar Burgess King, of Liberia, announcing that he would reach Atlanta for the Thursday evening session. President King, who was accompanied by Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General, received a most cordial welcome from the delegates. It was the first time for many of the delegates to see a live President of a Negro Government. Social Entertainments Among the social features of the Business League Convention were the Barbecue and open air session at Mr. David T. Howard's farm to which place the entire delegation journeyed by automobile Thursday afternoon, August 18th, to partake of this refreshing southern style of picnic. Also the lawn party given Friday afternoon, August 19th, at the home of Mr. A. F. Herndon, a member of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, and Mrs. A. F. Herndon in honor of the occasion. HON. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS, EX-UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS, JOINS THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE AND HE WILL PUT FORTH HIS BEST EFFORTS TO RAISE ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A GREATER FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED NURSES. The Hon. Thomas Carey, president of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company, has been selected General Chairman of the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Nurses Campaign Committee. First Vice-Chairman will be Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. Chicago National Underwriters Company. Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, ex-United States senator from Illinois; Hon. Miles J. Devine, ex-City Attorney of Chicago; Hon. James H. Lawley, one of the Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago; Hon. John Mr. Carey will have charge of the entire campaign from now on, and has selected members of the executive committee consisting of Jesse Binga, banker; Alfred Clover, general manager of the Public Life Insurance Company, Alexander Flower, campaign treasurer, president of the Roosevelt State Bank, Chas. B. Travis, real estate broker; Frank L. Gillespie, president of Liberty Life Insurance Company. The new members of the campaign committee are: Congressman Martin B. Madden, Honorable Joseph F. Haas, county recorder; Hon. Daniel Ryan, president Board of County Commissioners; Hon. Henry Stuckart, former City and County Treasurer; Mr. A. L. Whitmer, president of the COLORED MAN APPOINTED ASS'T. SECRETARY OF INTERIOR. Washington, D. C.—Not only is Henry O. Flipper, assistant secretary of Interior in charge of Alaskan railways, regarded as a queer duck because he keeps to himself and makes very few friends, but few people know how it happened that the first appointment Secretary Fall made was that of former Lieut. Flipper. The story runs that young Flipper, shortly before his graduation from West Point, met Senator Fall, running a ranch down in New Mexico. The colored lad, just out of school made friends rapidly with the white rancher, urged him to study and go to school and supervised his reading. Largely through Flipper's advice and help, Senator Fall was sent to Congress and later to the Senate. When a member of the Senatorial Committee, investigating the oil situation in Mexico, the then Senator Fall made Lieut. Flipper Spanish interpreter and while Mr. Fall headed the committee Lieut. Flipper did most of the work. When President Harding elevated the New Mexico senator to the post of secretary of Interior, one of the Senator's first steps was to look up Henry Flipper and give him a $5,000 job. Not only did the secretary of Interior appoint Mr. Flipper, but he said his desk was large enough to hold all resignations of white people who can't work with him. Licut. Flipper is the son of Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Atlanta, Ga., who presides over the 4th A. M. E. district. Speaks at Walter Zion Rev. E. D. W. Jones of Washington, D. C., well known member of the A. M. E. Zion Connection, spoke morning and evening Sunday at Walter's A. M. E. Zion Church. Rev Jones was once pastor of Zion and a large audience was present at both meetings to hear him speak. Rev Jones is being strongly advocated for the bishop to fill a vacancy now existing. No. 49 Chicago National Underwriters Company. Hon.

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO HUNDRED, MORE OR LESS The Disconsolate Heart. I cannot surmise what caused your distemper, I cannot, I fear, feel so keenly as you. You are so bright, too loyal to whimper, When worse things obtruded on our horizon's blue. I have never thought that a soul could be stronger, Than that you've portrayed, or that you'd regret; There are hopes we may cherish the better the longer One learns to know better the firm friends he has met. To forgive and forget is a virtue transcending All arts of our nature, all traits of our kind, And to love with the heart that is wholly depending On truth to the utmost leaves all rancor behind. I know that your heart and your soul are delightful; I know that your spirit is free from all care; That you couldn't ere stoop to anything spiteful, Or make life for a friend still harder to bear. You've searched the deep reaches of all of my being, You've scanned my whole frame, overlooking no part; And I know that you gloried in what you were seeing, And it thrilled me all through like some fairy dart. And now to abandon, and flee, brings a sorrow To sicken my soul with a poison to die, Without any hope of a better tomorrow, And without any love—not even goodbye. I know you will come again back to your duty; My heart and my soul whispers always your name; I know that your goodness comprises your beauty, That we will again love each other the same. Alpheus. The Klu Klux Devils. Some men with a skin not as white as a goat, Got wise for a minute and indicted a note. They said in language that Southernners speak— Of course you know very well it's a squeak: "We'erns is white and we'erns must rule." This is the logic of the Southern dam fool. So they got out their muskets, long loaded for bear; And saddled their horses, their horses must share A part of their grudge, so with torch in their hand, And with noise in the air made hell in the land. The kind of white birds who ne'er go to school Take pride in the logic of the Southern dam fool. And they galloped to farms for fellows they knew, Then without any trouble formed the kluxiest klu; THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921. RAVAT HON.

The young society fellows are telling the young ladies how they like their stockings. No one seems to be charmed over a fellow's socks. The fact is you cannot see very much of the socks. Publishers' Year. "How I made Woodrow Wilson President" is to become part of an autobiography of Mr. Wm. F. McCombs: In the not distant future we may expect some very rare efforts in bookdom. Some of them might have the following titles: "How I Kept Lowden Out of the White House," by Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson; "How I Put a Quietus on John Maynard Harlan," by his younger brother; "How I Lost My Political Tail and Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars," by a mourning friend. "Homlet." Watch Their Feet, Fellows. Foot flirting is one of the new wrinkles in society. The deaf and dumb speak with their hands by making letters. Now, since the dear girls have begun to speak with their feet we may look for sensations marvelous, to be sure. Fathers of courting daughters have been speaking with their feet for a long time. The wrinkle of flirting may have come down from the mule, as the hind feet of the mule has, well nigh become celebrated in both song and story. "The Kicker." "Somnambulist." "The Kicker." 107 HON.

Is is always a sign of popularity, or sympathy, to be forever and eternally receiving invitations to Sunday dinner? Dinner is a great thing. Appetite is a wonderful thing. Hunger is one of the most unpopular feelings that can visit a fellow. Food is expensive. High Cost is highwayman. Somebody's pocketbook is entirely irrelevant to the subject. "Flank Steak." Infant Feeding Chicago is abundantly blessed this summer with a host of teachers who delight in viewing the sights of our great city. We were delighted to meet a young woman teacher who is making a special study of infant feeding. What a wonderful girl! Of course, there will be a host who will study how not to feed infants.

MANY SHOT AS KNOKVILLE MOB ATTACKS IAIL Knoxville, Tenn., Saturday evening.—More than twenty persons were wounded when deputies guarding the Knox county jail fired on a crowd which sought Frank Martin, a Negro, held as a suspect in a criminal assault on a county school teacher. All of the wounded are white. Two are women. Deputy Sheriff Charles Lewis was wounded by a shot from the crowd. Although the machine gun company of the 117th infantry, Tennessee National guard, was on duty at the jail, the soldiers did not open fire. Following reports that the school teacher had identified Martin as her assailant, crowds gathered in the vicinity of the jail. Two hundred men and boys approached the jail, while several hundred other persons, many of them women, in the courthouse yard, watched. As the crowd came within 100 feet Sheriff Cate demanded that they disperse. He gave warning that an imaginary line should not be crossed. Shooting Becomes General As a dozen men passed these poles, the sheriff fired a riot gun over the heads of the crowd. Two men in the courthouse yard and two or three in the street fired revolvers in reply. The shooting then became general. Many of the loads of buckshot fired by the officers went among spectators in the courthouse yard. One or more of the officers at the jail opened fire with rifles and revolvers. The crowd in the street ran back, and the deputies charged, firing until the crowd dispersed and fled. Sheriff Cate should be presented with a golden crown for possessing the moral courage to stand up and discharge his sworn duty, for he was fully determined not to permit the mob, composed of so-called Christian ladies and gentlemen, to take the law into their own hands and reden them with human blood—Editor.

Stump Topeka, Kan. — Having conquered the east, the Knights of Pythias turned their attention to the west, and closed the twenty-first biennial convention of the order in Topeka with the west helplessly in their hands. To complete the story as one of union as well as action every officer was re-elected by acclamation, from S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, down the line. Gov. Henry J. Allen, the great governor of Kansas, stayed with the Pythians all the way. He welcomed them to the state, spent the day in John E. Lewis camp on Governor's Day and occupied the center of the stage in the reviewing stand on Friday when the parade tore all records to pieces. "I have got better ground to stand on," said Governor Allen, to whom the pursued Negro has never appealed for mercy in vain. In the legislative sessions of the great Negro fraternity the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was revoked by an almost unanimous vote. New York was chosen as the convention city for 1923 and the Supreme Chancellor was instructed to inquire into the returns of the grand domains so that hereafter the figures will stand up to each other face to face. The supreme lodge-elected the following officers: S. W. Green of New Orleans was re-elected supreme chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind., was re-elected vice-supreme chancellor and head of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Both are recognized leaders among the Negro in America. Green has been supreme chancellor for the past fourteen years, and his election was unanimous this morning. The other officers elected by the supreme lodge are: N. C. Nic, South Carolina, supreme prelate. Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky, supreme lecturer. E. E. Underwood, Kentucky. supreme keeper of records and seals. John H. Young, Arkansas, supreme master of exchequer. S. A. T. Watkins, Illinois, supreme attorney. Geo. Watty, Maryland, supreme master at arms. U. G. Mason, M. D., Alabama, supreme medical registrar. R. R. Jackson, Chicago. Ill., major general. John A. Blume, North Carolina, supreme inner guard. Henry James, Florida, supreme outer guard. C. M. Wade, M. D., Arkansas; John W. Harris, Mississippi; G. R. Hutton, Georgia; B. G. Collier. Pennsylvania; J. H. Fordham, South Carolina; W. W. Andrews, Florida; Chas. V. Wickham, M. D., Oklahoma; E. D. Green, secretary, Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission. Every representative was present at 9:30 o'clock Thursday and the first thing in order was the report of E. D. Green of Chicago, secretary of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and Temple Commission, which is supported by the supreme lodge. Green has held some prominent positions in Illinois, and was at one time member of the general assembly from Chicago. He has handled more money belonging to the Negroes of this country than any other official. The report made showed that the collection during the past two years had been $95,594.57. and the expenditures had been $29,768.71. The department operates a bath and sanitarium in Hot Springs for the benefit of the members of the order and all other members of the Negro race. It is the only bath house opened to the Negroes in Hot Springs, and they are planning for the erection of a Pythian Temple in Chicago at a cost of $250,000. Supreme Court officials re-elected were; Mrs. M. S. Grant, Dearim, Ga., supreme inspector; Mrs. M. J. Hazelwood, Charleston, W. Va., supreme recorder of deeds; Mrs. Bessie Johnson-Corona, N. Y., supreme senior director; Mrs. Pinkie Pottsdamer, Tallahassee, Fla., supreme junior director; Mrs. Cosdy Blevin, Burlingame, Ala., supreme escort; Cora E. Burke, Knoxville, Tenn., supreme conductress; Mrs. L. Towns, East Spencer, N. C., supreme assistant conductress. Urge Law and Order An appeal to the president, members of Congress, governors and other public officials for a firm stand against mob rule was presented by the committee on racial conditions and adopted by the supreme lodge. The report was signed by J. H. P. Westbrook, Colorado, chairman; John W. Robinson, Illinois, secretary; Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky; George A. Watty, Maryland; T. G. Nutter, West Virginia; W. A. Thompson, Tennessee; A. L. Garvin, Kentucky.

"A VOTE AGAINST THE DYER BILL IS A VOTE FOR LYNCHING." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York has announced the above as its slogan in the fight to have the Dyer anti-lynching bill enacted into law by the United States Congress. QUINN CHAPEL NOTES Dr. H. E. Stewart will preach Sunday morning, subject, "Why I Believe in the Second Coming of Christ." 1. Bible proof. 2. Signs of the times. 3. The near approach. 4. The manner of His coming. The first Sunday in September will be the big reunion services. Special A statement issued from the Association and signed by James Weldon Johnson, calls upon colored people throughout the country to watch their representatives and senators. Mr. Johnson's statement reads as follows: "The Department of Justice has gone on record in an opinion delivered by Judge Goff saying that the Dyer anti-lynching bill was constitutional. There is no longer any excuse why any representative of the American people should oppose a measure designed, to end such a monstrous evil as mob murder. "Every vote against the Dyer bill in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, is a vote for lynching. "Every representative and every senator who dares to oppose this bill ought to be listed by colored voters throughout the United State' and placed on record. "The states have shown they cannot or will not stop lynching. The federal government should now act. The Dyer bill gives the government the necessary authorization to act. It is up to every colored man and woman in the United States to see to it that the Dyer bill is passed and that the name of every man in Congress who opposes that bill is put on record. "A constant fire of telegrams and letters should be directed at your Congressmen so that they know without any shadow of doubt that their constituents want the bill passed."

NOBLE JOHN BENJAMIN HART Prominent Member of Arabic Temple No. 44, Grand Worthy Joshua of the Heroines of Jericho, Past Master of Mt. Hebron Lodge No. 29 F. A. M. Noble J. Benjamin Hart, Grand Worthy Joshua of the Heroines of Jericho, was chosen to make the opening defense for Arabic Temple No. 44 in the Imperial Council at St. Louis, Mo., which was a masterly plea. He was followed by the Illustrous Potentate Stewart C. Jefferson, when these two nobles yielded the floor, the firey darts that were hurled failed to dislodge Arabic Temple from its position in the sun, placed there by the loge and oratory of Nobles Hart and Jefferson supported by the solid phalanx of the Chicago delegation with a noble dismived.

P. M. of Mt Hebron Lodge No. 29, F. A. M. The famous "Research showing the Masonic Lineage of Prince Hall" is the work of Sir James E. Bish, 33rd and Noble Hart, 32nd, approved by Grand Master Thomas H. Samuels. Noble Hart is the author of "Demonstration and Explanation of the Star and Badge of the O. E. S." which he has copyrighted. In January, 1921, he presented a paper before the P. M. P. C. "Woman's Status in Masonry and a Mason's duty to a Heroine," which was well received. By request he again presented it in April this same year. By invitation he talked before the Craftsmen's Club of North Star Lodge No. 1, F. A. M. June the 6th. Subject: "Some Thoughts on Masonry." His elucidation of symbolic masonry was a revelation to that efficient club. His latest work is a Symbolic Chart of the Heroines of Jericho with demonstration and explanation, an original work which has given new life and pride to the Heroines. Noble Hart is a staunch supporter of Grand Master Samuels. He says that his work makes him the logical candidate to succeed himself. Why change the pilot if a rat is found on the ship.

At the annual session of the Heroines of Jericho which will be held in Springfield in September, Noble Hart has been requested to deliver an eulogy to the memory of the late Grand Sec. J. C. Adams. Twelve years ago. Noble Hart made the motion in Mt. Hebron Lodge, No. 29, to the effect; that it should take the lead in securing a suitable hall for the various Masonic lodges on the South Side, in which to hold their meetings and by his efforts or labors in that direction, the members of Mt. Hebron Lodge laid the first one thousand dollars down on the table for the purpose of securing a hall, at the same time requesting the other lodges to follow suit and not long after that time, they bargained to buy the present Union Masonic Hall, at 3956 S. State street, for fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars. It is now worth between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. It is free from debt and the only prominent hall, owned by the Colored race in this city that is clear of all incumberance, and if the advice of Noble Hart would have been adhered to the building would have been paid for two years ago. Aside from his activities along Masonic lines and its work, Noble and Mrs. Hart have always been interested in the welfare of the race, along other lines. They were the original founders of the Phyllis Wheatley League, which later on became the Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club, which in time secured the Phyllis Wheatley Home at 3256 Rhodes avenue. Noble Hart was the founder and back bone of the Douglas League which he kept alive for more than ten years. Noble and Mrs. Hart, who live in a nice little home of their own at 4841 Federal street, have been constant subscribers to The Broad Ax since October 1, 1899, and they rank among the best citizens residing in Chicago. QUARTERLY MEETING TO BE HELD AT ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH This coming Sunday, August 28, most of the A. M. E. preachers in the city will wend their way to St. John's Church in Englewood, and assist its pastor, Rev. G. W. Williams, and presiding elder Rev. James Higgins to hold their last quarterly conference, prior to the September conference. Rev. T. L. Scott, pastor of the Grant Memorial Church, will do most of the preaching. Rev. Williams is hustling to beat the band, in an effort to collect in all the dollar money he possibly can, in order to make a good showing at the District Conference in September.

On account of business in the city, Mr. Bailey has cancelled several trips out of town. A Colored newspaper is expected to fight the race's battles and it should, but there are times when silence is golden, and when it doesn't pay to put too much "pep" into a sheet. The fellow who is everlastingly grumbling about the colored editor now "bawling out" the white man, never puts a thing into the Negro newspaperman's hands to help, even keep the paper alive. "Cursing out" the other fellow will not get you anywhere—Ex. --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921 the Victims of the Maddened Mob at Tulsa, Okla., File Damage Suits for More Than Four Million Dollars. Citizens Refuse to Surrender Property. Funds Are Being Collected to Help Rebuild Homes and Business Houses in Devastated Distict. Owners Unwilling to Remove to New Black District Designated by Zoning Committee Outside the Corporate Limits. Site Unsanitary and Undesirable. Tulsa, Okla.-Suits involving damage claim approximating $4,000,000 are soon to be filed against the city by 1,500 residents who lost property during the race riot June 1, according to a statement made by Rev. C. Dearman, 1810 Cherokee street, Baptist preacher and medical research scientist. Colored and white lawyers, both in Tulsa and in cities as far distant as Chicago have been employed by the victims, according to Rev. Dearman, who stated that societies all over the United States are raising money to fight the cases and have promised to bear the entire burden of the legal proceedings. "We have been advised by the presidents of two Tulsa banks that our claims are just and that we can recover from the city," Rev. Dearman said. "Thel 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States are back of us and we have hired the best attorneys that we could find. The claims of about 1,500 persons who lost homes and personal property during the race riot have been filed with lawyers and they have the suits ready to file now. We figure that the total loss to us is about $4,000,000. "We are not going to sell our property for an industrial section or for any other purpose until settlement is made with us for our losses. The colored citizens are all dissatisfied with the way things are going. C. F. Gabe, colored sanitary inspector, and others, specially favored by the city have been allowed to put up buildings in the burned district. It looks like partiality to us and what we want is for everybody to be treated alike. We don't think the time is ripe now. ENTERTAINS DELEGATES Mrs. C. B. Giddens, vice president of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of Quinn Chapel, entertained the delegates to the Allen Christian Endeavor Convention held at Quinn Chapel during the past week. Balt and Dampness Salt is what is called "hygroscopic," that is, it eagerly absorbs moisture. In fact, both air and salt are absorbents of moisture and it is a contest between them as to which gets it. Results depend on atmospheric conditions. Ordinary atmosphere always contains a proportion of moisture, and warm air is apt to be more humid than cold, as it absorbs and holds water vapor more readily than cold air. Salt has such affinity for moisture that under such conditions it draws it from the air. When the air becomes dry, the moisture is given up by the salt, which in turn becomes dry as it returns the moisture to the air. Softest Known Wood. Trees belonging to the genus Jacaranda, growing in tropical America, are remarkable for their soft wood. After part of the bark is cut away a machete can be shoved to the center of the trunk with ease. The wood, when fresh, can be cut into blocks with a knife, as one would cut up parsnips or turnips. As the wood dries, it shrinks to a small fraction of its original bulk. Another Theory of the Flood Another Theory of the Plateau A new theory of the flood has been discovered in South Africa. Hydrographers investigating the waterways of Uganda have found indications that Lake Victoria and other central African lakes were at one time vast inland seas, which a little excess of rainfall would cause to overflow into the lands to the north. The discovery of primitive stone implements along the old water levels prove these to have been within the "human" period. Fundamental Business Principles From a purely coldblooded business point of view, honesty is the best policy. To treat the other man as you would have him treat you is an equally fundamental business principle. This does not mean that you should surrender your rights or neglect to avail yourself of your opportunities. It simply means that in the game of business, the same rules of sportsmanship should prevail as in a boxing bout, in a match of golf, or in a football game—John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Shell-Cracking Bird. Certain species of birds which inhabit eastern Africa possess the largest and strongest beaks known to ornithologists. One of these is the open-bill or shell ibis. It is a long-legged, stork-like bird, which has a beak like a nutcracker. The parts of the bill cannot be closed in the middle. It eats frogs and fishes, but its favorite food is fresh water melluscs, the shells of which it can crush with the powerful beak. for the union station. We want a settlement before we are willing to talk about selling our property. This statement was made by Rev. Dearman before the reconstruction committee took drastic action Friday afternoon ordering the fire marshal and building inspector to prevent the further building of temporary houses in the restricted fire area except under the supervision of the Red Cross. Maurice Willows, Red Cross secretary, stated that only tents with floors in them would be constructed under his supervision. Scores of frame buildings have been erected in the devastated area in the last few weeks despite the fire zone regulations. According to Rev. Dearman, there were between 17,000 and 20,000 Negroes in Tulsa before the riot. He said that 6,000 had left Tulsa and that there still are about 8,000 living in servant quarters in the south side and about 3,500 living in the old colored district. City Turns Down Claims. A proposal has been made by the colored residents for presentation to the reconstruction committee that the business men of Tula form a corporation with $4,000,000 subscribed as capital stock and pay off the claims. Their plan is for this corporation to then file a friendly suit against the city to recover the money paid out for the damage claims. Mrs. Frank Seaman, city auditor, said that property claims totalling more than $4,000,000 already have been filed. These claims have been formally disallowed by the city commission, acting on instructions from City Attorney Duncan. Few Insects Harmful to Man Relatively speaking, very few species of insects are harmful in any way to man and his works. The injurious species amount to less than 1 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, a great many species are beneficial to mankind. Pollination of crops like clover would be impossible without insect visitations, and the same is true of many garden flowers and important fruits. Her Probable Intention. Wright had been sent to the bank with his weekly amount, and when he returned he did not have his book. His mother asked him where it was. After quite a little hesitation he confided to her in a whisper, "Well, mother, the girl took it and kept it. I think she wanted to weigh it." Invaluable Coating for In the process of J. Marcusson, a resinous coating is given tubes or hollow bodies of cement, concrete or mortar by action of formaldehyde on phenols or other like compounds. The coating gradually becomes insoluble on exposure to air, and is thus given resistance to the action of mineral or fatty oils. Saw Value of Fortifications John Ziska, a famous leader of the Hussite party in Bohemia, gained the title of "father of the modern art of fortification." In 1420 he took up a strong position near Frague on an eminence since known as Ziskaberg, and held it with a few thousand acres against an army of 30,000. The Water Spider A spider that lives under water builds a nest of silk among weeds in ponds and ditches, and fills the nest with air. In that strange house it lives and lays its eggs. In autumn it makes another nest, seals itself inside and sleeps until spring. English Poetry and Prose If there is anything in literature as wonderful as English poetry it is English prose. Like the twin pillars of a mighty temple stand those two great books, the Bible of 1611, the Shakespeare of 1623, and no other country can show their equal—George Sampson. Clouds Supply Needed Moisture Clouds Supply Droughts are particularly rainless summers in South Africa the mountains in the neighborhood of Cape Town are clothed in luxurious vegetation, supported by a copious deposit of moisture from drifting clouds. Profitable Eggshells In no instance are the shells of the eggs used by the Italian vendors of ice cream sold in the London streets broken. They are pierced at each end and blown by the mouth, the perfect shells being sold to the proprietors of shooting galleries. Reflections. There is hardly a roadside pond or pool which has not as much landscape in it as above it. -Guskin.

She is willing to do all she can to assist in the drive for a greater Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses. Mme. M. Callaway Byron, 3300 Rhodes Ave., has been confined to the house for the past week from the effects of a severe spell of sickness, but her many friends will be glad to learn that she is on the mend at the present time. Miss Nellie Callaway, 3300 Rhodes Ave. and her sister, Mrs. Hazel Callaway Jones and her little son of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mr. and Mrs. T. Callaway, returned to the city last Saturday by the way of the automobile route from Idlewild, Mich. Bishop and Mrs. A. J. Carey, 3428 Vernon Ave., and their daughter, Miss Annabelle Carey, sailed for Paris, France where Miss Carey will study French in the University of Paris for the remainder of the summer. Bishop Carey will attend the International Bishops' Council or Conference in London, England. Spread of Bathing In Europe Bathing came to Europe as one of the good results of the Crusades. The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Sarccens, and seeing what good things they were, on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath become that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean. Had No Rights at All Paul and Anthony own a wagon in partnership. Sometimes Paul exerts a little more authority than is pleasing to Anthony. On one of these occasions Anthony sought his mother and, after yelling his troubles, added: "Mother, Paul treats me like the ugly sisters treated Cinderella." Force of Gravity Force of gravity varies according to height above sea level and distance from the equator. As the force of gravity is 32.1612 feet a second in New York, 32.1528 feet a second in San Francisco and 32.1184 in Key West, an object would weigh most in New York and least in Florida.

M., and One of the Best Known Secret Society Men in the State of Illinois DARN MATTING WITH RAFFIA Material Affords Much Better Appearance Than Patch Applied With Thread. Sometimes when moving a piece of furniture, especially if it is heavy, the matting will receive an ugly tear. To mend this, simply darn the matting with raffia in colors to correspond. This can be very neatly done and it is much better than to patch it or to mend it with thread. Sometimes it will be found necessary to run heavy cord across the patch through which to pass the raffia. With a large darning needle the cord can be sewed in place and fastened securely. On the edge of the matting worn and frayed places are often found and these also can be neatly mended with raffia. Low Flat Heels The comfort of the low heel in walking has created a decided vogue for oxford's with beels, not of the French type, but broad and flat. The dresser pumps, although showing three-strap effects and cut-out designs, will be of a similar design. Patent leather is considered very smart at present. Vella. French dots, Russian mesh and Shetland effects in vells are most popular, and there is a noticeable trend for velling by the yard rather than the bordered vella.

The young girls are wearing the low- heeled model for dancing in satin to match thelr gowns; a touch of the Victorian, in harmony with wider and berufiied skirts. The favorite for street wear seems to be this low-heeled model in patent weather, The fringed tongue, which originally was used oly on brogues, S been adopted for afternoon and evening wear, White kid oxfords with French heels are shown with the fringed tongue, and the latest adapta tion fs seen in a black satin slipper with @ solid black satin plece, the ends of which are fringed with cut steel beads. ‘These are items that ure well to remember when one is shop- ping for one’s midsummer and full footwear, ‘There has been a new feature in the decoration of hand bags, in the use of the seed bead in the making af the solid bended bag. But used with this Is the larze naithead bead. From abroad come interesting ideas of the exploitation of the black and white vosue in the neckwear field for the coming season, Organdie is still the chief fabric medium, and touches of black are given by means of black organdie appliques usually in straight narrow bands as often as edging, and by chainstiteh embroidery in black. Gauntlets continue to be in the glove field, these being shown in plain styles as well as in a wide range of fan- cies. 5 ‘Stiff cuff gauntlets being’ shown by some of the importers do not enjoy the same popularity as the soft cuff variety. / STYLES IN NEW YORK Capes for practical use are often made reversitve, one side dark serge, the other light canton crepe. ‘A sleeveless sport coat of brown velours is hound on all eges with a bright shade of blue leather. A midsummer cape snit shows a skirt and cape of white flannel striped in green. ‘The cape is lined in green crepe de chine, this enme material he- ing used for the long slip-over blouse worn over the skirt. ‘A smart sport skirt of wool striped in vivid shades is fringed at the bot- tom and fastens all the way down the left side with buttons and loops. There is a single huge pocket placed very low at the right side. The wide sash ts weighted with wool fringe on the ends. Jabots of laces oF orzanilies are worn with every strictly tailored sult. Very chic the red leather hat worn with the white flannel sport suit. Red crepe de chine lines the short flaring Jacket, the oval shaped panel on front of the skirt is also worked in a red stitehery. What lovely bathing accessories are seen in the New York shops! Have you already seen the charming sepa- Tate girdies made entirely of rubber flowers? They are really exquisite and would transform the plainest sult Into a thing of beauty. They are love- ly in color and as well made as the evening cordelieres, To carry at the seashore, the lead- ing houses show huge Chinese para- sds painted in exotic calors and boasting exceedingly long handles. ‘They are pretty and must be very practical, affording a real protection for the woman who doesn't swim a» much as abe parades up and down the beach, Have you seen the new checked oll gingham bathing suits? They are adorable. The skirt is made of nar- row panels that tle on as an apron ‘over the trousers. The blouse has a smart sallor collar, turn-up cuffs and buttons of black ollcioth. The cap | to match is of checked gingham bound ‘in black oflcloth, Indians Have Curious Numeration. ‘The Indians of Guiana have a cur!- ous system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fingers. Thus, when they reach five, instead of say- ng 20, they call it a “hand.” Six is therefore a “hand and first finger"; seven, a “band and second finger.” Ten is “two hands.” But 20, instead of be- ing “four hands.” is a “man.” Forty le “two men,” and thus they go on by twenties, Forty-six is expressed as “two men, a hand and first finger.” Acrow Deadly as Bullet. A mounted Indian or white man with bow and arrows sometimes could Kill more buffaloes than a man could Kill with @ rif_e, says the American Forestry Magazine. At close range the arrow was as deadly as the bullet, it made lees noise, and arrows could be discharged three or four times as rapidly as bullets from muzzle-loading guns. Tit for Tat. When Lord Randolph Churchill vie ited the diamond fields of South Africa he is said to have exclaimed after looking at some diamonds: “And all for the vanity of women.” A lady who heard the remark added: “And the Gepravity of men.” ee ee eee Personal in Exchange—“T would like to locate my wife, who left my bed and board on March 25 last.

These frocks are made on redin- ote lines. ‘A smart method of applying a flow: er to a hat is to- put a big one on the very edge of a wide brim, fas tening it securely and pulling some of the pearls over, some under the brim. Flowers of silver tissue give an Interesting note to a black lace eve ing frock. ‘They are sold as corsage lowers, and may be used to give a vit of freshness to a frock that Is 1B use. Some of the most effective of the redingote dresses are carried out in dark taffeta over an organdie founda- tion. A charming model of this kind had wide cuffs, huge collar and foun- @ation of pale gray organdie, while the redingote itself was made of dark blue taffeta. ‘The kimono sleeve Is now more than ever in favor. But the 1921 Kimono wishes a new interpretation of {ts own style and, instead of being exceedingly wide under the arm, is quite snug. Quite a hard task for the home dres«maker, but decidedly chic and stylish. Capes are made of oblongs of silk fabrics of some sort, bordered along one long and two short edges with fringe as wide as the cape itself. This is really a cross between a cape and a scarf, for it 1s wrapped about the shoulders, one long, unfringed edge at the neck and folded across the chest. A stuart cape of this sort is made of black tricot, Hned with gray chiffon, and with heavy gray silk fringe. NEW SHADE OF RED IN PARIS Name in Doubt, But May Be “Pill” or “Pillar"—Cardinal With Dash of Pink. “Is it pill box or pillar box?" The question refers to the bright red shade that Is being much exploited. Pillar box Is correct volunteers a writer in Women's Wear, although the shorter term, probably a corruption of the original, is frequently heard. The Parisians are in doubt. Over there they ask whether the Americans used 8 pili box of characteristic red shade, evidently believing that the word had Its orizin here. The term “pillar box red” Is sald to have been coined by an American silic buyer, named for the pest boxes of Paris, which are not the vermilion red that we sometimes see on iron In this country. “Cardinal with a dash of pink” seems to be a fair description of this very bright red shade, although the pill or pillar bex red that is used in millinery is sald to have Just a bint of the fuchsia tone in ft. This exquisite new red—which ts neither cerise nor flame, but something of both—is the newest color to which Paris gives her favor. Gein Sana. Rubbers wear out more quickly at the heels than in any other parts. To Prevent this, cut heavy cardboard to éxactly fit the heel and place them there when the rubber is new. You will be surprised to find how much longer the rubber will last. Taffeta. ‘The taffeta evening frock with the taffeta wrap to match is worn much by young women this season. One finds the skirts of the frocks quite ful! and not too short, caplike sleeves ané @ touch of ribbon flower somewhere Fortunes Left to Pets. Sometimes cats fare very well at beneficiaries under wills. It was a Parisian woman, a few years ago, whe left 10,000 francs to her cat. On tit Geath the money was to be spent on elementary schools. The feline has since died and the money distributed according to directicns. | In npmerous instances fortunes have been left te found homes for cats and dogs. Some times these wills have been dictated by love of animals, while in others falas, they have beer written merely for the purpose of “getting even” with grasping relatives. stated te Ba ang eee Of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called “crepuscu- lar rays” They are due to rays of Ught passing through breaks in the clouds and made visible by dust or fine drops of water in the alr.

Geraniums should be kept moist, but should not be given too much water at a time, They need a sunny win- dow. The plants should be kept in a fairly even temperature, and it should be borne in mind that they must have plenty of air, for they won't thrive in “stuffy” room. Light and sun are necessary for all plants, and there is always more danger of getting too lt tle than too much. oat ee ee ee ee The Indians called a strait “Kebec.” and the name was given to the site of the present city of Quebec from the peculiar configuration of the St Lawrence river at that point, for the river there grows narrow and from ite deep waters rises the bold height on which the ancient city stands.
