Raped White Girl a
Myth
Negro Business Section And Better Home Section Laid Waste..by Torch.
Tulsa, Okla., June 10th.—Tulsa lies stricken almost unto death. The city is literally in sackcloth and ashes, and it seems like a veritable miracle that it has escaped complete destruction. Whatever it enjoyed in the matter of thrift, enterprise and a fair name has been, for the moment at least, by a wanton, flendish mob, actuated by jealousy and race hatred, which sought to wipe out the Negroes and their section of the city for the simple reason their prosperity and intelligent development was becoming too evident to suit the wishes of a certain element of whites.
WHOLE TRUTH NOT TOLD.
But little of the real truth has reached the outside world concerning the whole horrible affair. The attempted rape incident has turned out to be nothing more than a discovery of the fact that a giddy white girl had become infatuated with a comely young Negro lad of scarcely more than twenty years of age. He was arrested at the instance of a group of white men and the charge of attempted rape was lodged against him. The boy is yet in jail but the girl has disappeared and the rape charge is about to fall to the ground.
NEGROES FEAR LYNCHING.
It is true that shortly after the arrest of the young Colored man a small number of Negro men gathered in the vicinity of the jail. Tulsa Negroes had decided that no lynching should take place in Tulsa without a blood sacrifice to prevent it. Rumors had reached the Colored section that a lynching would be attempted by the whites. When the Colored men arrived in the vicinity of the jail they found a number of white men who immediately assumed a hostile attitude toward the Colored men. It was not long before trouble was started and the riot well under way. The Negroes, fearing that their suspicions that a lynching was to be effected was about to be confirmed, fought with great desparation and courage.
NEGROES OUTNUMBERED.
Within a short time the Negroes were outnumbered by the whites and they began an orderly retreat which carried them to the north side of the Frisco Railroad tracks where they made a stand so valiant and death dealing that a S. O. S. was sent out by the Chief of the local police for soldier help. In the meantime the casualties were mounting up with the odds in favor of the colored combatants. It was near midnight when the militia arrived on the scene. This turned the tide of battle to the whites again. The Negroes retreated. Then it was that the white hood-

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 10, 1921.
ams began to apply the torch to the business concerns of the coloured people located along Greenwood Avenue.
PROMINENT NEGROES KILLED.
It was but a short step from the business section to the better residential sections in this locality. Here three prominent Colored men met death defending their homes from the torch bearing mob. Dr. A. C. Jackson, the leading Colored physician of this city, was killed on his door step and his well appointed home touched by the torch and totally destroyed by the fire that followed. The same fate befell Wesley Williams, the wealthiest Nezro in Tulsa and the owner of the Dreamland theatre—also destroyed by fire Williams was reputed to be worth more than $200,000. Dr. John Wayne died fighting protecting his home which was destroyed by fire. John Wheeler, one of the oldest employees at the First National, was killed by a stray bullet while on his way to the bank Wednesday morning. No Colored man in Tulsa was more highly respected than John Wheeler. He had been in the employ of the First National for a long number of years and was one of the familiar and popular figures of the city. He was buried with signal honors; the officials of the bank attending in a body.
THOUSANDS MADE. HOME LESS.
The fires spread. White brutes applied the torch, while the militia busied itself with the disarming and arresting of such Negroes who were unlucky enough to fall into their hands. In a short period of time a great host of defenseless women and children were being driven helter skelter by the unfeeling mob or made prisoners by the militia and police. The new Mt. Zion Baptist Church, recently built at a cost of $95000 was partially destroyed by fire. It was dedicated on the 10th of last April and is said to be the largest church structure owned by Colored people in Oklahoma.
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED.
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED. Governor Robertson declared a state of martial law early Thursday morning. He was greatly affected by the condition of things which met him upon his arrival. He openly declared that a competent sheriff and a less cowardly chief of police would have put an end to the trouble without much effort. He has ordered an investigation and declares he is going to the bottom of the trouble to determine its origin and the causes which led up to the riot.
An elaborate plan for relief has been devised, backed by the local Chamber of Commerce and prominent citizens. It is proposed to raise a fund of $600,000 at least for the purpose of rehabilitating the Negro section and thereby restore, as near as possible, normal if not better conditions for that end of the city where the Colored people lived.
MEN'S MEETING AT THE ST.
MARY BAPTIST CHURCH

AST Sunday evening proved to be an enthusiastic meeting for the men and boys at the St. Mary Church, Dr. N. D. Briley, chairman of the Board, and Dr. G. G. Brown, Secretary, opened the meeting with Prof. E. M. Barnes conducting the song service, Dr. J. E. Douglass the pastor, so reverently and trustworthily petitioned the Throne of Grace. Then, Dr. Briley, with well chosen words, introduced Capt, W. L. Hutcherson, who reasoned with us for the best interest of the future. A vision of the Y. M. C. A., was realized and the men acted like men and every man in the house (with exception of one) joined, and he will soon, we hope. A more live set of men could not have gotten together, men, who have enough of Christ in them to want to make the world better or the next generation. When you want a man to stand square for the uplift of his people from every angle, you will find Dr. E. T. Fisback, saying: "Follow me." His spirit is not to send, but to lead by actual deeds. When he was asked, had he paid his sustaining money to the "Y," he was offended and they had to beg his pardon as he was the first minister to pay. Every one left the meeting feeling uplifted and thinking, 'no better friends in Wichita, than Dr. J. E. Douglass and his members.
The Chicago Tribune has contributed $1 000 to the fund.
JEALOUSY MAIN CAUSE FOR
The main cause for the riot goes back of the arrest of the young Colored man who provided the immediate reason for the outburst. 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.
There have been no outbursts during the week. The authorities are now awake, thanks to the courage and vigilance of Governor Robertson, and it is not now expected that rioting will be resumed. The investigation and the relief work are to start at once.
A Few Necessities For the Y M. C. A.
The Colored Men's Branch of the Y. M. C. A is seeking every opportunity to make its influence felt in the life of the Community, at present, they are much handicapped because of the lack of some much needed articles. Any person who will donate any one or more of the following articles, the same will be very greatly appreciated, and put to the best use.

SUNDAY SCHOOL & B. Y. P. U.
CONGRESS.
WE are advised from the Congress Headquarters that the list of messengers grows larger each day for the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress. It is highly probable that every State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention will be represented by messengers. It seems that, in most cases, the Presidents of the Conventions will be sent to represent them. This is a wise move. The leaders of our young people need the stimulation which the Congress affords. Up to date leaders, with modern methods of organization and operation are in great demand among our people. Reports indicate also that a greater number of pastors will attend the Congress than have attended any previous session. This is also encouraging news. The hearty cooperation of the pastors is essential to the success of the work of any department of church activities. The Baptists of Missouri and Kansas are co-operating heartily in efforts to give the Congress messengers the greatest reception that has been tendered them. Every Local Union and Sunday School should be represented by messenger or letter. It is far better to send messengers if it is possible; if it is impossible, every Baptist Organization should be represented by letter. This Organization is intended to benefit all grades of Christian Workers and for that reason should be liberally supported by all. Eich Sunday School and Union is urgently requested to select delegates and send their names to Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D., Kansas City, Mo.

A REAL WEDDING
Truly yoked together in bonds of Holy Wedlock was Dr. J. E. Farmer, one of the most successful physicians of the city, and Miss Gertrude Owens, accomplished teacher of Douglass City School. Beautifully and artistically arranged were the decorations at the Calvary Baptist Church. Who ever arranged the decorations was expert in his or her line and the expense was not limited, the only thought was, "make it modern and up-to-date." With the Pipe Organ, under the artful control of Prof. Casper Haynes, meledy, softly, smoothly and charmingly arrested every wave of air, rode gently into the ears of the vast audience, bringing heavily balm to every soul and allowing each soul to pick out the riches that suit its case best. The modern arrangement of the wedding party began its march and couple by couple until this noted couple stood before the Holy Altar, waiting for Dr. S. B. Butler to declare them man and wife, which was dorse with dignity and sacredness. Mr. J. E. Austin of Eskridge, gave away this beautiful bride. Dressed in harmony with the occasion were the following waitresses—Mrs. Jno. Wright sang a solo, Mrs Dennns Gary, Miss Verna Hall, Miss Louise Vincent, Miss Alma Jarman, Mrs. Elizabeth Porter, Mr. Bennie Cowan of Cheyenne, Wyo., Little Miss Dorothy Barnett the flower girl. The waiters were—Messrs Horace Fowler, Lymuel Miller, ——Flowers, Maurice Jones. Others of the out-of-town were—
Mrs. J. M. Wright, Mrs. Dennis Ray, Mrs. John Hicks, Mrs. Martherene Hicks all of Topeka; Mr. J. E. Austin, Mrs. J. E. Austin, Eskridge, Kansas. The spirit of this swell affair was caught by the large audience and they all looked as if they put on their wedding garments before leaving home. Like faithful brethren of old, stood on duty, the Emith Temple brethren with their Fez and full dress suits, to see that their brother was given an equally fair chance to make the new adventure. The special invited guests followed the Bride and Groom into the reception room in the basement of the church where expressions of hope, faith and love were expressed. A splendid repast wound up this part of this swell church wedding, and now they have sailed out on the sea of time in the same boat to combat the waves of difficulties with two strokes, but one direct. May God be the calmer of the waves and everything will be well. (Full report of gifts is to appear in next issue.)

a lovable disposition meek but sincere and those who knew her could but love her and respect her. Those in want always had her sympathy and the unfortunate was never turned away. She was at times full of humor but never buffoonish. She was devoted to her church of which she was the oldest member. (Her husband Uncle Billy) having preceded her some dozen years or more they were a model wife and husband having reared a family of boys and girls who have taken high rank in their respective Communities) She had lingered for some time in the home of her son. Rev. J. H. Quinn. She was laid to rest in the Mt. Mariah Cemetery and we are sure the Angels sang sweetly when she entered the realms of bliss.
She staid when others had fallen,
To brighten the encircling gloom.
She scorned discension, appalling,
Thus her life was a benignant boon.
Of friends there were so many;
Of enemies there were some 'tis
true;
But she harbored no malice for any,
As the Saviour bids us to do.
When heaven would summon earth's
jewels,
Tender angels to her cot did wend.
The church then lost its mother
And the world has lost a friend.

WICHITA. witnessed an enjoyed an unusual musical recital at Calvary Baptist Church last Friday evening by Miss Georgia Harvey, the famous contralto singer of St. Louis, who has traveled extensively and astonished the world with her wonderful talent, as she did in Wichita. To hear her is simply making a desire to hear her again.

WE are looking for you to do your best for the much needed church on the corner of 9th Street and Ohio Avenue, next Sunday at 3:00 p.m. These brave people are fighting manfully for "Greater New Hope Baptist Church", and Dr. E. T. Fishback, the leader, has lived a broad and helpful life in your midst and you should at least show your appreciation to him, by a gift worth while. Believing you to be loyal, and looking to see you free to face, is the wishes of The Star.
WE worry, for, our people to hold office and they should, but whenever the test comes to protect justice and right, the officer is the first to throw his people in a helpless condition, like the Negro officers at Tulsa, begging and demanding his people surrender their arms, while the white man kept his. There is no peace when one man has that much advantage of the other, it is only an opportunity to mistreat the helpless; if that officer had demanded fair play and insisted upon the authority to protect to the letter, the laws, neither race would suffer.
GOV. DORSEY publishes to the world the list of 135 cases where the Negro is mistreated in Georgia, and U. S. Prosecuting Attorney Alexander, bellieves all that he said and more besides and has the witnesses to prove that the laws of the State of Georgia are violated and defiled and the Negroes are really receiving unthought of mistreatment by the United States' Government. He does not think that Gov. Dorsey means to stand by the law with the fervency that exerts every effort to bring his people to trial and punishment, but he meant for the people of Georgia to put the damper on the wrongs before the U. S. Government would take it up. He finds that the power has been delegated to the county officers to such an extent until the Government has no power to directly correct the evils in his own state. The Governor seems to be worried about the outside agencies coming in to help correct the wrong; if he means to be the angel of mercy and justice, we would be too glad to push with all power on earth and in heaven to make his state at least safe for human lives.

Last Sunday Rally Day found the pastor at his best. He preached two heart searching sermons which were gladly received by two large Congregations. Morning sermon was found in Hebrews 11 chapter to 4 to 26th verse. Theme the faith of Moses. Night sermon Theme Jonah's Temporary arrangements found in the book of Jonah 4 chapter 7th verse. The Rally was a great success.
St. Mary Baptist.
Last Sunday's services were uplifting. The Spirit of the Lord was with us during the days' service.
Our Sunday School will open from now on at 9:30 a. m; Bro. Abram Washington Supt. will be on hand to handle your children with the greatest of pleasure; with the co-operation of the teachers, and pastor, Our Sunday School is growing each Sabbath. The devotionals by the choir, and officers being over shadowed by the Spirit of God; the pastor caught the air of the Holy Ghost and at 11:30 a. m, Rev. Douglass chose for a text Prov. 14:34, "Righteousness exalteth a nation. But sin is a reproach to any people." The minister showed the blessedness of a nation; that would take God's instruct for their guide.
We are thankful to say that we added three more souls to the
cause. God will add to the Church daily such as should be saved; we believe that a Church that fails to add to its membership is not a healthy Church. In such a case it might be needful to call up Doctor Jesus.
The Y. M. C. A. met a tour Church at 3 o'clock p. m. with the local Sec; Dr. Brown and the president in the person of Dr. Briley, last but not least Prof. Hutcherson. (Captain Hutcherson) who has general over-sight of the work here, and we feel safe to say that from the very timely talk that he made in the defense of the Y. M. C. A. inraptured in logicalness it must go forward. We are impressed very much with the young man. let us help him.
At 6 o'clock p.m. Bro. Newton was on hand with his union in full blast; a very splendid session was enjoyed, the union is on the increase.
A nice little program was enjoyed, the display by the Jackson nursery was very fitting for the little folks. Mrs. Prof. J. A. Jackson is quite a missionary, and understands children.
Rev. Douglass preached us a sermon that will not be forgotten from the 6:11 of Ephesians, "Put on the whole armour of God."
St. Mary is pulling up in the name of God; she purchased two lots on the South-side of her present sight the past week, it must go to the promise land. Come and worship with us we will do you good.
