Jealousy MAIN CAUSE FOR RIOT The main cause for the riot goes back of the arrest of the young colored man who provided the immediate reason for the outbreak. Retail dealers in the main section of Tulsa have long been envious of the business enterprises which the Negroes were sustaining out in their section. And then again while the colored people were doing the menial and domestic work in Tulsa they were making a more prosperous showing, on the whole, than the "poor whites." These situations added to the devilish work of agitators made it rather easy to start a conflagration of hate and prejudice whenever a match was applied to the strained conditions. The discovery of a love affair between a white girl and a colored youth furnished the match and Tulsa lies today stricken to its very heart. Find Old Church Ruins Under Rheims Cathedral Paris.—The work of repairing the ruined Cathedral of Rhelms has brought to light the buried remains of ancient churches which formerly stood on the same site. Under the pavement of the choir, which was shattered by German shells, have been found the old foundations of the Cathedral of St. Hincmar which was destroyed by fire in the Ninth century. Beneath these ruins workmen came upon traces of the first church to stand on this hallowed ground, the Church of St. Remi, built in the Fifth century. Under the broken high altar was discovered a hoard of 250 pieces of ancient silver and near this a sealed up and long forgotten well. From the bottom of this well a worn lead pipe leads the water away into the earth and it is thought that this originally connected with the long lost baptismal font where Clovis was received into the church. Antiquarians from all parts of France have come to Rhelms to examine the discoveries. AIR TRIP RESTORES VOICE Upon the advice of Dr. Charles H. McEnerney of the public health service Henry A. Renz took an airplane ride to restore his speech, the power of which mysteriously disappeared eight months ago. --- Negroes Object To Lily-Whitism PROTEST TO HAYS Resent Proposed Exclusion of Colored Delegates. Protesting against the proposed exclusion of Ngero delegates in the south by the republican party, the Roosevelt club of Des Moines, at a massmeeting indorsed the following resolution and transmitted it to Will Hays, retiring chairman of the national republican committee: "We, the representatives of the Negro voters of Des Moines, owe, take this occasion to offer you, the chairman of the national republican committee, our protest against the proposed exclusion of Negro delegates from the south. "We hold that the Negro loyalty to this country from its incipency does not merit such a reward. We have helped to develop its industries, promote its progress and maintain its prestige. The blood of black men has flowed freely with the blood of white men in each and every struggle of this republic from before its establishment to the present day. "We wish, hereby, to register with you our earnest petition that you continue steadfast in your efforts that the present day republican party remain the spiritual heir of our immortal Lincoln. May we not forget now, as then, that no nation can endure half slave and half free. "We do not think that because we are unjustly deprived of the right of suffrage in those sections that the only recourse we have should be abrogated. Two wrongs cannot make a right. No human argument can justify it and the living God of nations will not sanction it." Negro Gets Diamon For Singing Mamy (By The Associated Negro Press.) Washington, June 9.-Master Lenoir Cook, a colored boy of Washington, D.C., was presented with a handsome diamon set in platinum by an unknown young, white woman after he had finished singing "Mammy" by special request at the convention for Amity Between the white and colored races which was recently held in the city. The song was written by the boy's uncle, William Marion Cook, and was dedicated to the latter's mother, whom the family all called "Mam." The lyries were written by Lester A. Walton, of New York City. BURGLARS TELL STRANGE STORIES TO COPS (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., June 9—Early last Wednesday Patrolman Harry Deas discovered Lee Hunt, 18, of 3206 South State street, standing behind an open coal hole in the sidewalk in front of a store at 3220 South State street, "Say, officer," volunteered Lee, "my dog fell down there and I can't get 'im out." Just then the head of William Caldwell, 23, of 3220 South State street, appeared through the hole. Deas helped him out. "Somebody left that open and I fell in," he asserted, "Fell in all by myself, officer. You'd ought to pinch these carcass folks." The patrolman waited. In a minute out opped Oscar Johnson, 23, of 69 East Thirty-sixth street. He came out so rapidly he didn't have any explanation. The trio—all colored—were booked for burglary.

McCormic Fights Lynching Former Governor Tells Huge Republican Audience Sacrifices Should Have Obliterated Vlass Distinction. Memorial exercises under the auspices of -the Harlem Republican club attracted throngs to the Metropolitan Baptist church Sunday. Former Governor Charles S. Whituan, in an eloquent address eulogized the heroism and sacrifice of the Negro soldier, receiving thunderous applause when he declared that "three years of common sacrifice and suffering should have obliterated the last mark of class or race distinction and have brought out of the melting pot 110,000,000 Americans holding the same aspirations, possessed of the same opportunities, and accorded equal standing before the law." Anti-Lynching Bill Representative L. C. Dyer, Republican of Missouri, has introduced a bill on Congress providing that persons accused of lynching shall be tried in Federal instead of State courts, and that those found guilty of participating in lynchings shall suffer the death penalty. Every one ought to get behind this bill and push its passage. It is infinitely better than the McCormick bill which authorizes a commission to "study" lynching. No study is necessary; the facts are patent. Minnesota has done her part by enacting an anti-lynching law. Now give us a national law. $100,000 SCHOOL BUILDING BURNED (By The Associated Negro Press.) Macon, Ga., June 9.—An insane woman, stripped of all clothing, appeared last Wednesday night on the campus of the Central City college, a Negro institution, and fired one of the fgrame buildings, which was burned with a loss of $100,000. The woman was arrested. McCORMACK CONTINUES HIS ANTI-LYNCHING FIGH1 (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, June 9—Senator Medill McCormick spoke at a massmeeting of 2,500 Negroes recently, at the Trinity church, Prairie avenue and Thirtieth street, on the anti-lynching bill which the senator introduced in Congress. "This bill seeks to create a commission to explore and study the ways and means by which mob violence can be ended," Senator McCormick said. "A printer's proof first stirred me, when I was merely a boy, to the realization that there was a great wrong in this country which needed righting. The thought has been with me all these years, but the opportunity for me to start definite action on the matter has never come until the present time. "I expect a long fight, but I am going to see it through if it takes me ten years or more. I find the election of President Harding proved an unlooked for help, as he is strongly opposed to lynchings. The black man is on trial now in Illinois. The attempt to force on him handpicked judges in the present election, furnishes him with an opportunity to assert his political rights by voting coalition non-partisan ticket. And the election of the coalition ticket judges will be a message to the men in the south that a fight is being waged for the black man's freedom in the north." A Question. Said the near cynic: "Judging from the time some of the young blood of this town arrive home in the morning, it's hard to tell whether to call them eight owls or larks." Associated Press Bulletin CAUGHT NAPPING (By The Associated Negro Press.) Texarkana, Ark., June 9—Chaude A.

Williams plantation in Jasper county, was found to be guilty of murder by a jury last Monday in connection with the death of Lindsey Peterson, one of the eleven Negroes alleged to have been held in peonage and then killed on a farm a few months ago. The jury was out thirty-five minutes. Manning was sentenced to life imprisonment. (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, June 9—The country faces the shortest crop in the last quarter of a century, J. S. Wannamaker, of St. Matthews, S.C., president of the American Cotton association, told the national consultation conference of American growers. This shortage is largely due, he said, to the successful cotton acreage reduction campaign of the association in its efforts to create a market and prevent further deflation in prices. He quoted statistics to show the acreage had been reduced 30.73 per cent. POPULATION OF MISSISSIPPI Jackson, Miss., June 9.—The population of the state is 1,790,618 of this number the Negroes number 936,184 and the whites 853,962. Since 1910 the increase of the white population has been 8.6 while that of the Negro has shown a decrease of from 53.2 to 52.2 in the past ten years. The general increase in population including all nationalities has been four-tenths. NO COLOR LINE ACCORDING (By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlantic City, (Special), June 9. Jack Dempsey's manager, Jack Kearns, last Wednesday, eradicated the acoly- line. Kearns said that the acoly- line was the first opponent on July 4 all barriers will be let down. The next opponent of Dempsey after Carpenter has been conquered will be the man whose services can guarantee a purse worthy of consideration by the heavy-weight champion of the world." Kearns made this announcement when asked whether Kid Norfolk had refused advances to come here as partner. Kearns said that all reports that he had made "special rates" to Norfalk are unfounded. Norfolk would be welcome, no doubt, but as far as going to the point of guaranteeing a meeting with the colored heavyweight, Kearns would make no promises.

(By the Associated Negro Press.) West Point, Miss., June 9—H. H. Park, 39, traveling salesman, died suddenly in a hotel here from "heart failure intoxicants," according to the verdict of the coroner's jury. An inquest was held by Coroner Cromwell within a few minutes after Park met death. A 16-ounce bottle containing about 10 ounces of "white mule" was found in Park's coat. Park arrived here from Meridian, Miss., the day before his death. He registered at the Holt Hotel, giving Jackson, Miss., as his home, and from a card in his pocket it was learned that he represented the Shelby Sales Book Company. The police declare that the fatal dose of "White mule" was sold to Park by a Negro named John Black. --- "IT WILL DO US NO GOOD TO SAY IT ISN'T SO" SAYS GEORGIA MINISTER REGARDING THE 400 LYNCHING IN GEORGIA. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, Ga., June 9—Preachin gon "Peonage Within the Law and Peonage Without the Lew" Rev. J. W. Ham, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, on last Sunday night took occasion to discuss at some length the situation brought about in Georgia by the charges of peonage and the counter charges of sensationalism made in defense. "It will do us no good to say 'It isn't so,'" said Dr. Ham. "The fact that 400 lynchings have occurred without punishment of the offenders, is sufficient reason why the whole matter should be exposed and brought to the attention of thinking people. The injection of racial prejudice into the discussion will get us nowhere. It is a time for calm consideration and careful weighing of the consequences that are sure to follow unless conditions are remedied." NEGRO WOMEN JURORS FEARED GREATLY (By The Associated Negro Press.) Frankfort,' Ky., June 9.-The right of women to serve on a jury in Kentucky will be determined when the appellate court decides the case of Conrad Wages against the commonwealth, filed here on appeal of the Laurel circuit court. Two women served on the jury that convicted Wages when he pleaded guilty to the charge of having made moonshine. Public opinion appears to be divided on the question, many fearing colored women will insist on doing a share of the jury duty in case the court decides the question against Wages.

M Price Five Cents JUSTICE SWIFT IN NEW JERSEY Trials of Bandits and Major Criminals Rushed on the Day of Arrest. IS FOUNDED ON CALVANISM Wheels of Court Move Quickly—Famed Not Only for Accuracy and Relentlessness, but for Fairness and Efficiency. Trenton, N. J.—Interesting light has been thrown on the operation and speed "of Jersey justice," as a result of recent convictions for murder and other crimes. While misdemeanors and felonies have increased in New Jersey, as elsewhere in the country in the last year or so, state records show that there have been few disagreements of juries, and prison sentences have been extended to maximum limits in order to discourage violations of the law. One feature of New Jersey law that few, if any, of the other states have, and which is said to have been a prime factor in giving the state its traditional reputation for lightninglike court procedure, is a provision that a jury in a first degree murder trial may designate life imprisonment instead of the death penalty for the convicted person. This has resulted in many quick convictions for life imprisonment where, otherwise, there might have been jury disagreements. Cases like that of the Union county bandits, Charles and John Krebs and Martin Shannon, who were sentenced to serve from 56 to 75 years each, and who were tried, convicted and were beginning to serve their sentences within 148 hours of their capture, are occurring daily in New Jersey, the present so-called "crime wave" apparently furnishing an excellent test for the efficiency of its courts. "Jersey justice," famed from Malne to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and even overseas, not only because of its speed, its accuracy and its relentlessness, but also because of its fairness and efficiency, was not established overnight. It is scarcely a tangible thing. It may be best described as "a state of mind," the people demanding that their law officers be efficient above everything else. Thus prosecutors, grand juries, judges, petit juries and all other branches of the administration of justice, which lead the criminal to prison and the murderer to the death chair, are just so many wheels and gears and belts in an almost perfectly working "machine" whose motive power is the people. Tradition has had much to do with making "Jersey justice." Beginning with the early days of the settlement of the state, when many crimes were punishable by death, the Calvinists brought into east Jersey distinctive views of religious and civil matters which probably were the roots of "Jersey justice." New Jersey differs in no great respect from other states as to the general legal procedure for the punishment of crime. Lynchings and crime against accused persons, however, are rare. Officers of the law, from the highest judges down, are well paid, and every effort is made to keep politics out of the courts. At present there are more than three-score life prisoners in the state prison here and eight out of every ten convicts are in for long terms.

OKLAHOMA AND AMERICA. he Proud, matcheless Tulsa comes before the bar of Christian civilization, thi day, and, with head bowed, the mantle of shame upon her cheek, and, we sin eerely hope, with deep regret in her heart, asks that she be pardoned the grea offense some of her citizens committed during Tusday night ond Wednesday morning. ‘There is not a man worthy of the name whose heart is not afire with indig nation against that which has been done. Members of a superior race, boast falof the fact, permitted themselves to degenerate into murderers and vandals; permitted themselves to deal their home community the foulest blow it has ever received in its history. ‘Tulsa boasted that she was not Ardmore, And now a negligible number of men have plunged the reputation of the fair city into the depths of infamy. Language is ineapable of painting the wrong which has been committed against the community and its peaceful, law-abiding citizens or of expressing the in- dignity one inevitably feels toward men ineapable of controlling their passions ‘and their prejudices, It is true that the pride of race as well as its prejudices is a consuming fire in the veins of every nationality. On this ground one would like, if it were at all possible, to condone or excuse the hysteria of Tuesday evening and night, when the streets of the city were suddenly transformed into a raging torrent of hat-impelled men. The imprudence of the Negroes in arming themselves and visiting the county jail permits something to be said for those who responded to the riot impulse and set out to satiate the blood lust or racial pride. But nothing that the mind is capable of conceiving permits a word of de- fense or exeuse for the murderous vandalism which set in at daylight the next morning. Hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of property—the homes of women and children, black in color, to be sure, but guilty’ of mo other offense— went up in smoke. 'Semi-organized bands of white men systematically applied the toreh while others shot on sight men of color. The colored section of the city was wiped out, and a Jong line of hopeless, destitute, pitiful refugees fled northward from the burning town. The German invasion of Belgium with its awful consequences was no more unjustified or characterized with any greater cruelty, In the conflagration a splendid church but recently erected and one of the handsome educational edifices of the school district was lost. ‘To such property the vandals applied the torch to make sure of their terrible purpose. ‘The entire (‘race war’?/was as unjustified as it was unnecessary. Because of it Tulsa is blazoned as a community where tolerance does not exist, where the constitution, of the United States can be enforced or suspended at will; where prejudice and race bigotry rules, and where law and order haltingly flexes the knee to outlawry. Ten thousand citizens have been rendered home- Jess and made exiles on the face of the earth! Will Tulsa accept such a reputation willingly? | Will this city tolerate such injustice—aceept meekly the sudden ending of its dream of primacy and glory? Jf not, then the substantial, constructive citizenship must immediately get into action. There is but one way in which Tulsa can rehabilitate itself either in its own eyes or the eyes of the outside world. That is by rebuilding that which has been destroyed. Vandalism has taken the homes and the savings of thousands of people. ‘Tulsa must ‘restore that which has been taken, The sins of a comparative few are thus visited upon the whole ‘community. But it is a cross that must be shouldered willingly and heroically. This restitution, not because of affectoin- hte regard for the colored man, but beeause of an honorable and intense regard for the white race whose boast’ of superiority must now be justified by concrete acts, ‘Not else can the wound of passion. be healed or the sears of intolerant hatred be soothed. In this moment men ‘of Tulsa stand at the crossroads in the city’s destiny. One way leads to a greater and more glorious future; the other certinly leads to retrogression and decay, There must not, there cannot, be any hesitating. MME.
