HEAR PRESIDENT PECK OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 1921 11 O'CLOCK A. M. KANSAS Wife of a Muskogee Business Man Was Compelled to Stay All Night in a Bath Tub, While Her Clothing Was Riddled by Bullets—Homes Went in Smoke Volume VII. HEAR PRESIDENT SUNDAY, MIDNIGHT WRITES OF OF WITNESSES OF MASSA Wife of a Muskogee Bus pelled to Stay All Ni While Her Clothing Bullets—Homes Muskogee, Okla.—If you had been in Tulsa Tuesday and Wednesday you would have gotten an idea about hell and the devil, and perhaps there would be a change in the affairs in this world. I have discovered that the home of the devil is movable and his satanic majesty when he gets into the hearts of white men can occupy any territory he wills and there is none to say to him stop. I am not going to abuse the white folks or any other folks this week, for I feel more like praying, more like crying, yet now and then there creeps into my heart and head a few "cuss" words, but I say to them "Get behind me, devil," for me and mine I am going to serve God, and follow in the wake of Jesus Christ using His words, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Not a church, not a school house, not a place of business of any kind carried on by my people, not a home in a section of the city known as "Little Africa" was left in Tulsa. They were burned by barbarians, by hoodlums, by heathens, by hellions, by men who boast of superiority, and have proven that it contests in the taking of human life, destruction of property. The men who make the laws, who do all the trying of offenders of the law, and keep the jails, will form mobs, break down jails and do other inhuman acts, in an effort to make cowards out of my people. By this time they should learn that such is impossible, and it is easier to take a teaspoon and dip the Atlantic Ocean dry than it is put under feet a man made in the image of God—a thinker. But I am about to get off when I told you I was not going to say mean things, but believe me there has been a heluva time down in Tulsa, and I am so near it that I can hear the cries of thousands of homeless women and children, and it is hard for me to control my feelings. I must put that into the hands of Jesus and not tell you what happened, for you know all about it. Just mention a few things. It seems that a boy about 19 years old, Dick Rowland, knocked against the foot of a woman, she being the elevator conductor. She said some cuss words, and he was equal to the occasion, and then she raised the inhuman cry, and this fellow was arrested, and a mob formed to take him from jail, without judge or jury, without trial, and put him to death. Black men had thought the man should be punished by law, and they proposed to help to protect him. They wanted to help the law. They got together their smoke wagons and went to the jail. Seeing this the white men armed, and all night long they shot sparingly, while my people returned abundantly shots. When morning came, we had almost shot out, and then it was that the white men, under the protection, of white soldiers, made their charge on my people, shooting them down, setting fire to their homes, and as women and children fled, they would search the homes, take what they wanted, and put flames to the building. Homes were shot into by the mob, all windows shot out in an effort to kill all men and anyone else, women, children, dogs and whatnots. They would not permit the firemen to put out fires SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 DENT PECK OF JUNE 12, 1921 OF THE IMPRESSIONS OF THE TULSA ACRE Business Man Was Com- ight in a Bath Tub, g Was Riddled by Went in Smoke but let the buildings burn. Within a few minutes thou- ands of people were homeless. To talk with those who escaped with their lives, some women only in their sleeping garments, children naked, would bring tears from a piece of iron, saying nothing about human beings. Can you conceive families being rushed out of their homes to save life without time to pick up any article of clothing? This is what happened in Tulsa. Beautiful homes, well furnished, were dentroyed, furniture and all. I had many friends there. Harry Abbot had moved his printing office to Okmulgee, and he is safe, but his wife, who was teaching, had her things lost. Mrs. L. T. Brown, a refined, cultured woman, the wife of L. T. Brown, a Muskogee business man, and she is one of the finest dressmakers in the country, told me her experience, and I shall try to relate it to you in this letter. She lived in Greenwood, the place known to the whites as "Little Africa." Her home was the embodiment of neatness, and she was living in comfort. Tuesday night she was at the theatre and discovered that the mob was being formed, hence she made her get way home, and shortly after getting home she heard shooting, hence did not undress. A bullet came in to her home seeking a victim, so she immediately rushed to the bathtub, thinking that it was bullet proof and remained there all night. But early in the morning business picked up. Bullets came into her house, every window was shot out, and great holes made in the house. She then left the bathtub and got under the table in the dining room. She remained still, no doubt talking to the Lord all this time. Shouts "Come out of there" came from the outside, but she remained still, until the door was opened and she saw a big white man standing looking at her. "Get up and come out of here," was his command. and almost in the same breath he asked. "Is there any one else in here?" "Yes," she said, "an old man" and he was commanded to come out. Mrs. Brown reached the door and looking the man in the face she asked: "May I get my hat?" "Yes." was his reply. "Then may I get some other things?" "Yes." but another man said, "I don't know as you will need them." "Why are you going to take me out and kill me?" To this there was no reply. She was with others and the old man, carried to a safety zone, and there protected. For which she is still thanking God. In telling the story she was as cool as a cucumber and as calm as a judge. She was not excited, nor had she been during the trouble. But what about her husband? He was in Muskogee but put it down that I told you, bright and early Wednesday morning he was at the stable with his ticket in his hand ready for to get on that iron horse going to Tulsa, Midland Valley. He rode it there, but was not permitted to get off in Tulsa. He rode on up the road, but believe me honey he returned, for he had Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, June 10, 1921 CITY ADVANCE OF COLORED RACE DRAWS PRAISE New York Priest Urges More Uplift Work at Home The Rev. Thomas McBride, attached to the Catholic board of mission work among the colared people, is in Kansas City, canvassing the various parishes in the interest of this home missionary branch of the Catholic church. "We are saying the heathen in foreign lands and contributing millions towards their conversion," said Father McBride, "while very little is being done for the uplift of the millions of our colored people at home." Father McBride addressed the congregation at St. Mary's church Fifth street and Ann avenue, Sunday. He cited that at the conclusion of the Civil War there were 4,000,000 colored persons in the United States and that the greater number of these were ignorant, as might be expected of a people who were enslaved. Today, according to Father McBride, there are 12,000,000 colored people in the United States and fully 70% of them are literate. The fact that the vast number of colored people have the rudiments of an elementary education make them deserving of the greatest attention on the part of the church Father McBride said. The priest whose headquarters are in New York City has been in Kansas City for the last four weeks and says he is greatly impressed with the intellectual development of the local colored people whom he had met. Little Yvette Jenkins, the daughter of Mrs. Gertrude Jenkins at Quindaro, stood first in Wyandotte county in examination her rate being 99. Mrs. J. F. Griffin has been confined to her room this week with illness. made up his mind to go after his wife or report to God. He went into town, and at night returned to Muskogee with his wife safe and sound. She was clothless, except that which she had on. She went to the closet to get her clothes but all of her dresses had been shot to threads, and none worth taking out. Can you get an idea about the shooting, when clothing hanging up in a closet was shot into threads? All the civilized world is now looking at Tulsa, at Oklahoma, at the United States, the country that went over to Europe, left some of its best blood there for democracy, and now what about home? The land that all hats must go off, and all people stop whatever they are doing when they hear the "Star Snangled Banner, Long May It Wave, Over the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." Now is an opportunity for our President to show where his heart is. Now is the time for Congress to act. Are men in Congress brave enough to do their duty? Let us hope and pray. It was my intention to tell you about my trip through Kansas City, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Guthrie, McAlester, up to here, but will have to put it off until next week, when I will tell you about the Commencement here, about my physical condition and other things. Get ready for the great Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress, June 22, in Kansas City, Mo. It will be the biggest thing in history, and people are going to eb there from everywhere. I expect to be there myself, and already Ie hav my stopping place. I will talk about it later. I will tell you about my visit to the First African Methodist Episcopal church, Kansas City, Kansas. Wait for my next letter. J. O. MIDNIGHT. DISRICT CONFERENCE A. C.E. AND S.S.

Events in Tulsa lately have shown that modern civilization is a mere veneer and that the Golden Rule is apparently a back number. There have been many instances of mere mobs, especially in the south, where civilization and culture is patterned after the sort in vogue in 1860, but there has never been an instance where the entire holdings of a race have been wiped out completely by another race. Even in Belgium, during the war, there were enough belongings saved from the kultur of the Germans to house the invaded people; in Russia, the Bolshevists, in their wrath against landowners, did not entirely destroy. It remained for a class living under the Stars and Stripes, where freedom and democracy is supposed to reign, to utterly destroy every vestige of the holdings of a race, and add to that murder and rapine. No one, not even the members of the mob, claims that more than one man was guilty of any offense, and the offense of that one man was not proven. Little children and women were mistreated in Belgium; little children and women were mistreated in Tulsa to a like extent. Tulsa has a white college, of which it is very proud—Kennall. It is maintained by members of a religious order. They teach everything in that college—everything but the Golden Rule. That teaching appears to have been neglected. While that college has received thousands of dollars from the millionaires of Tulsa, the donors appear to have forgotten the greatest Biblical injunction: Do unto others as ye would be done by. The murders were not the result of the hatred of any one class for the Negro. Press dispatches, censored as they were, revealed the fact that costly limousines, crowded with armed white men were driven frantically over the city, the occupants shooting at every colored person visible. The yardmaster of the Frisco railroad, a white man, was killed when he refused to run a train of cars, loaded with sharpshooters, into the colored district. There was no religious enmity, as churches and the Y. M. C. A. building were put to the torch, indiscriminately. It was not a war against a race by any class; it was a mob, insane in its lust for destruction—a mob that knew no such thing as a Golden Rule or the softer teachings of a crucified Saviour. Since the states have demonstrated their inability to take care of the lives and property of their citizens, the United States should act. Rev. J. D. Barksdale editor of The Western Christian Recorder, has been confined to the house for more than a week with illness. We are more than glad to report to his many friends his rapid recovery. Mr. Matthew Carrol, Jr., visited his relatives from Sunday to Tuesday. He receives his diploma Wednesday at K. U. and Thursday will be at home again. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH J.

CHURCH NEWS One of the largest audiences that has been seen in First Church for a long time was present at Sunday morning service. Dr. Chas. Stewart of Chicago, one of the noted Baptist divines and lecturers of this country, was the speaker. The sermon of this intellectual philosopher was one of wonderful power and spiritual essence. His large and appreciative audience were filled to their full capacity as he opened up the way as to the possibility of the human family living Christian lives here on this earth. Many fine pictures were drawn and illustrations brought into action in his scholarly discourse. At the close one came forward and kneeled for prayer, while many others stood up for the prayers of the redeemed. At the evening service, the lower auditorium was filled to its capacity, something unusual for Sunday evening service. After a few minutes of inspiring remarks by the pastor, he introduced Evangelist Emanuel Hall, of Los Angeles, Cal., and one of the sweetest singers in all this Western country. For thirty-five minutes this great spiritual singer fed the hundreds present in song, accompanied by Prof. Wise on the pipe organ. As at the morning service, the souls of men and women were made to rejoice. The day closed with hundreds going home, believing the day had been made better by their living in it. Quarterly meeting next Sunday, and sacrament at 3 P.M., when some one of our neighboring divines will preach. Love feast this Friday night. Great service all day Sunday.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES Children's Day was appropriately observed at Metropolitan Baptist Sunday school. At 11 A. M., Dr. Hays, of Leavenworth, preached beautifully from Prov. 14:34. Text, "Righteousness exalteeth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." His sermon was intelligent and grammatical, also was truthful and full of God's Word; and he received many spiritual "amens" and great praise for his advocating a clean Christianity in the pulpit and in the homes. We will not say he electrified the congregation, but as sunlight is greater than electricity, his sermon was like a ray of sunlight to the large congregation. Mrs. Marks, who told of the Tulsa riot and said she escaped from there, was given over $25.00 to go to California. Mrs. Page, of St. Louis, made a good talk, and said she was going to organize some business, of our people, to make employment for our young folks coming out of school. At 8 P. M., Dr. Hayes preached another fine sermon and a large collection was lifted. Near 10 P. M., Mrs. Langford was married to Mr. B. C. Coombs of Iola; the church was crowded. Wednesday evening, Rev. Branham preached. Next Sunday, June 12th, Dr. Perry will preach. All are invited to this church.

Ministers of the Gospel were summoned and asked the question: "What do you know about these houses Tulsa, Okla.—(Special correspondence to The Bulletin)—The open shoppers have spoken in this city and two million dollars worth of property of good citizens has gone up in smoke and the death list will never be fully known. And the chamber of commerce which backed the imported thugs who were afterwards made police officials, are saying they are sorry—and asking that working men contribute to the erection of homes for those the thug-mob burned. For two years Tulsa has been in the throes of an open shop fight. Strikebreakers have been imported from the slums of the bigger cities. These men brought with them the offscourings of the big cities' houses of ill-fame and these women were given jobs so that they could be with their men. In adition to this there is, on the outskirts of the negro distric, and around the Frisco railway station, a dozen or more houses, known locally as houses where dwell the female pets of the big business men of the town. Here the tired banker or oil man could go and duplicate the harems of Turkey, and it is no secret that wines and liquors of every description flowed in those houses, especially after all good citizens were at home in bed. A few weeks ago, the outcry against the palaces of immorality be- State of Kansas, Wyandotte County, ss. No.11120. In the Probate Court of said County..

U.) came so loud that an "investigation" was had before the city commissioners. Ministers of the Gospel were summoned and asked the question: "What do you know about these houses? Have you any direct evidence to offer that things are as you say?" This question also was asked of good citizens whose bedtime is somewhere about 10 o'clock at night, just when the revels in these hours begin. Of course the "investigation" resulted in the whitewashing of the city commissioners and the chief of police, a former thug employed by the Kansas City Railways company and a detective agency in that city. Some time ago there was a strike of elevator operators. It was the easiest thing imaginable to get girls of uncertain virtue from these houses to take the places of the strikers in the buildings owned by the rich paramours. It was a young negro dope fiend that snatched a purse from one of these girls and precipitated the race riot that disgraced the nation. And in the bank owned by the girl's rich illicit lover and in the restaurant of one of the palaces of ill-fame still hangs the sign: "We are in accord with the open shop policies of the chamber of commerce of Tulsa, Oklahoma." And, not far away, ten thousand blacks, huddled together, weeping because of the death of their relatives and the destruction of their homes, are evidence of the belief in the chamber of commerce's '100% Amrican' policy. Dead eyes peer out from sodden bodies in the streets at the same open shop signs in the windows of other patrons of the palaces down along the "white side" of the Frisco tracks and along lower Boston and Boulder avenues. Yes Tulsa is making a success of its "open shop" policy, all right' Tulsa, notirious open shop town, did itself proud one day last week when it allowed thugs to pillage and burn $1\frac{1}{2}$ million dollars' worth of property, the said property having been owned by colored people. The chief of police of Tulsa is an imported renegade from Kansas City, Mo., having once "guarded" the street cars during a strike. $ \mathrm{H}_{2} $ was sent to Tulsa at the request of the chamber of commerce to aid in its open shop movement. From reports he aided all right. GOVERNMENT IS COSTLY Washington, June 4.—Congressional tax committees have unearthed sensational figures on the cost of government in this country. This includes federal. state. city, town, village and borough. Figuring the government charge in average, the committees sind that last year it cost every wage earner in the United States—and that item includes the salaried men and women—about $210. Some officials believe that it costs more than that. In other words out of every dollar the wage earner gets, the government takes away $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents. In an article written on this subject by Harden Colfax, and published in the Washington Post,, it is declared that "peace time never knew such monumental cost of government before." "While the cost of living has fallen far from the peak it occupied 12 months ago," says this writer, "cost of government still stands perched upon its loftiest eminence, barring the days when the country was at war and maintaining a huge army, building a navy and supporting the allied world with its loans. "This cost is too much; and how to make it less is going to cause many headaches and not a few hot verba encounters on the floor of congress during the days near at hand." If you are waiting for freight rates to be lowered because of the cut in wages you might as well cease the wait. At a meeting of the board of directors in Philadelphia the other day, the salary of "General" Atterbury, general manager of the Pennsylvania railroad, was doubled. You see, the "general" plays golf and chorus girls as a diversion and both are expensive. Miss Olive Henderson is teaching summer school in Oklahoma. The Ford automobile factory in Ireland has been closed, the combatants prefering to kill each other with shillalies. The man who takes up a bet of dollars to doughnuts these days is likely to have the better bargain. No country is in danger of losing any of its liberties when its law-makers are drawn from behind the plow. The decent way to die is to kick and flop till you tear the bed up and yell as if the devil had a head-lock on you. If you have the lockjaw and have lost the key to the lock, take a quick trip to Jack Dempsey and have him "bust" it loose. Some people die easy. They just close their eyes and stop breathing without moving a finger or toe. Some local unions do about the same thing. CALL W. R. JOHN Concern HOME OR PROPERTY 516 MINNEOTA AVE.

In March, 1921, the dollar would buy approximately one- half of the amount of flour and hens it would in 1913. The same is true of bread and milk, while pork chops, ham and other com- modities nearly come within the list. It shows that a dollar now has the purchasing power of 72 cents in 1913. S Mrs. Patterson, on North Eleventh street, went to St. Margaret’s Hospital Sunday, for an operation. Some robbers believe in do- ing business in a business way For instance there is the man who stole a check protectograph from a local concern the other day. That robber isn’t taking any chances of his bank baience being wiped out by a raised check, a As soon as the latest plan of street car routing is put into ef- fee you can go from Thirteenth street and Quindaro boulevard to Tenth street and Minnescta ‘avenue without having to trans- fer but twice.

The worst thing that could happen to a man might not be half so bad as for his wife to catch him in common conver- sation ‘with one of the many half-dressed women who parade the streets these days, some of them gray-haired too — just think of it! “Oh, Lord, out Lord, why hast thou forgotten us a | -F CITING BASEBALL If you ara fan then you will hunt up th® games that the Camp Fire and Church Girls are playing and attend them. It was the writer’s good fortune to see part of one game and that was awhang. They had no south paws in the box but their field- ers were fleet and accurate. The base running was right up to and above standard except that oceasionally there were two base runners on the same bag. However, that did not confuse them very much. The one that got out would “bawl” the other one for not watching the game. We take it that they are un- jon teams, as most of them wore overalls. Miss Perry is a first-base lady worthy of a place on the major league. It did not matter how far they knocked the ball, some one was always kind enough to go get it and put it back into the game. Nell seemed to be the one that all the boys on the side lines knew and were offering their valued suggestions as to how to pull off triple plays and make the opposing side look like com- mon brush scrub players. The fun one gets out of watching one of their games is worth twice the price of admission. How much money will the city raise for the flocd victims at Pueblo, Colorado. Now that we have the Chinese fed, so they can continue to ship their eggs over to this country, it might be well to look closer home for scmething to make a “dive” for, and let the Chinks eat their own egg product for a while.
