THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- ÖL. 14 NO. 9 More News'of Tulsa and the Way Some See It. (Jly The Associated Negro Press) Tulsa. Okla., June 13—The Tulsa riot was willfully planned. An excuse for for starting the horror was given by a foolish Negro lad and a silly, irresponsible white girl. Results; more than 200 whites killed and wounded while the casualties among the Negroes amounted to about 60 people, all told. Property losses were confined wholly to "Little Africa" and amount to more than $2 000,000 Completion of an $85,000 church was the straw which broke the camel's back of prejudice and made ready for the consummation of a plot that can be regarded the most diabolically fiendish in the history of the United States. To this chapter of horrors can be added the outspoken declaration to lynch J. B. Stradford and James Smithman, two of the more prominent Negro business men of Tulsa, should they be so bold as to show their faces in our midst again. Stradford and Smithman were among the few leaders who managed to escape the clutches of t.e mob. Even the white clergy were among those who gave sanction to the horrible program of wholesale destruction of property and attempted general slaughter of men whose only crime was a determined effort to prosper and live decently. This statement is given force and color by the facts that the business section and the better residential district in "Little Africa" were the first places to feel the forked tongue of the torch. "Had there been no effort to lift "Little Africa" out of the slimy conditions of a slum district there would have been no riot." declared an intelligent Negro to the Associated Negro Press representative; Bishop Mouzon of the Methodist church, South, the Rev. C. W. Kerr of the First Presbyterian church and the Rev. Harry G. Cooke of the Centenary M. E. church, last Sunday, declared from their pulpits, that the Colored people were wholly responsible for the horrors of the riot. Bishop Mouson went so far as to announce that William B. DuBois' recent visit and talks to Tulsa Negroes was one of the contributing causes of the riot. He averred that the Negro must not presume to compete with the white man nor seek to rise out of the economic and social situations in which the whites are determined to keep him. A violation of this edict was sure to visit on the Negro the reprisals of race riots whenever it occurred. Cooke and Kerr were no less outspoken in their denunciations of the Tulsa Negro's aspirations to approach the social and economic levels of the Tulsa whites. Smitherman's whereabouts have not been disovered up to this date. Stradford, however was located in Independence Kansas, and an effort to extradite him was frustrated by his son, J. E. Stradford, a Chicago lawyer, who succeeded in getting his father out of the hands of the Kansas authorities thru the processes of a Habeas Corpus proceedings. The elder Stradford has not been since lo- WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 17, 1921. Elevator in Bad Condition Causes Damage. (Munphis, Tenn., June 14.—Frazel McGlother, 938 Forest Court, Orange Mound, and Dorsey Dorth. 810 Lane avenue, both Colored, were painfully injured at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning, when the heavily loaded freight elevator in the building of the Cumberland Telegraph and Telephone Company broke its cable and dropped about 10 feet to the bottom of the shaft, W. H. Shepperson, city inspector of elevators, said that the elevator was overloaded, having approximately 4,800 pounds of freight. He made an examination and said the cable was old rusty, and declared the elevator had not been inspected for sometime. McGlother suffered a broken leg and severe cuts on the face and hands. The leg was fractured above the knee. Dorth suffered an ugly concussion in the back and minor bruises. Dr. Thomas H. Ingram, who was passing the telephone building at the time of the accident, was called to attend the injured men. They were sent to the General hospital and Dr Ingram says that both will recover. Fire Not Determined. (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga, June 14.—Fire which started from some undetermined cause, did considerable damage to four buildings occupied by Negroes on West North avenue shortly after midnight Sunday night. The blaze started in a building at 347 West North avenue, owned by David Franklin, Colored, and occupied by John McCoy, Colored, as a store. The building was practically detroyed. Sparks from the burning building ignited the dwellings of Bennie Carroll, Colored, 349 West North avenue; Emma Terrell, at 351 West, North avenue, and Jessie Jackson, at 339 West North avenue The building at 351 West North avenue was only slightly damaged, while the roofs were burned off both the other houses. Flames from the burning buildings lit up the sky and caused a large crowd to gather from all parts of the city. cated. Should either of these men be brought to Tulsa a lynching bee wolud surely be added to the awful list of horrors that have already visited this benighted place. In the meantime there is a group of white citizens who are desirous that restitution be provided for the Negroes by rebuilding and replacing their personal losses at whatever cost. While offers appear to be bonafide it seems to be qualified by presenting a plan which will move the Colored people from the occupancy of the district that was so wantonly destroyed. The answer of the Colored people to this plan has not yet been given. It is not that they will be given much choice in the matter. Great Work Planned. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 17.-The Bishop's Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church opens Thursday morning June 23, in Mother Bethel. Sixteen bishops will be in attendance. Two Bishops named Brooks and Vernon, are absent in Africa and Bishop C. T. Tanner is ill in Phil- DEAN WM. PICKENS Speaks on Tulsa Riot. (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, June 17.—William Pickens, the noted Colored orator and publicist, speaks of the "dangerous tendencies" brought to light by the Tulsa riot. Among other things he said in a recent interview: "Several dangerous tendencies are noticeable in that Tulsa affair. There were white looters whose chief inspiration was to steal the goods and effects of the driven out Negroes; and the benevolent (?) committee offered to rebuild the homes of the Colored people but in a different section of the city, selected by the committee. "If these looters are not severely punished, and if this committee is allowed to 'move' the Colored population to the section where I is willing for them to live, it will furnish one of the most subtle and powerful inducements to mob violence against Colored people. If to burn out the 'Negro section' will make it possible for the whites to rob and plunder and then dispossess them, it will add some powerful influences to the tendency to such violence. We can list in our mind many places where the Negro quarters would be gladly set fire to on to-morrow, if certain interests could be sure that it would result in the removal of the Negroes. These looters are a great testimony to the primal beastly passions of greed and gain that play their part in these programs, and it is the very irony of kindness to rebuild the homes of the Colored population ELSEWHERE." adelphia. Wednesday night preceding the opening of the Council, citizens of Chicago will tender a complimentary banquet at Quinn Chapel. Addresses of Welcome will be made by Gov. Small. Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson, Bishop A. J. Carey and Mayor R. R. Jackson. Bishop L. J. Chonin, presiding Bishop of the Fourth Episcopal district will be host to the Bishops Council. Besides the Bishops there will be in attendance 15 general officers, 22 college presidents and about 400 presiding Elders and Pastors. Sunday June 20. each pulpit in Chicago will be filled by a Bishop. The Bishop's Council meets biennually for the purpose of conferring over work of past six months and planning the work of the ensuing six months to insure harmony and uniformity of act. Investigation. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, June 17.—Ald. Robt. R. Jackson, one of Thompson's Negro leaders in the Second ward, appeared before Judge Landis with a petition requesting the reopening of a building at 35th street and Calumet avenue which had been closed by the judge for violations of the dry law. Mr. Jackson said he represented the Negro Knights of Pythias, who at present occupy quarters above the Entertainers' cafe at 200 East 35th street, and wanted the other building for drill purposes. When Judge Landis discovered the lodge was above the Entertainers' cafe, he ordered an investigation. 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. Each Sunday School and Union is urgently requested to select delegates and send their names to Rev. S. W. Bacote, D. D., Kansas City, Mo. Suspicions Founded on What? (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., June 14. Clarence Young, 23 years old, Colored, of 766 South Roman street, was captured last Monday night hiding under a house at 2314 Banks street, occupied by Emile O'Brien, after being chased and fired upon by a crowd that sought to capture him because of his acting suspiciously. Threats of lynching were made as fifteen policeman, rushing to the scene after a riot call to head quarters, battled with the crowd and finally succeeded in spiriting the Negro away. He was taken to the First President station, where he is held as a dangerous and suspicious character. Last Sunday night police were notified that a Negro, acting in a suspicious manner, had been prowling thru the neighborhood of Banks and Palmyra. A diligent search failed to find him. About 8 p. m. Monday it was announced the same man was in the neighborhood again. In a few minutes a great crowd had formed and when Young was seen, several shots were fired at him when he refused to stop. Someone turned in a riot call and the police quickly responded. Young said he had run when he became frightened at the mob's attitude. American Woodemn Still Growing. (By The Associated Negro Press) Denver, Colo., June 17.—The Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen will hold its Fifth Quadrennial Convention at Denver, Colo., from August 8. to 15, 1921. This organization is perhaps the largest purely fraternal insurance company Negroes, its assets totaling near the $1,000,000 mark, and its membership being nearly 100,000 the one-way fare for the round trip will prevail from all parts of the country, and it is expected that the convention will be largely attended.

In Memory Carrollton, Miss, June 13. VALLEY VIEW DOTS. Please let this appear in your columns to say a word of the death of Sister Emma Mitchell, who was a devoted wife and a loving mother, a true friend—who departed this life a few days ago. I know how impossible it is to silence your grief with words. The heart pleads for utterance in tears and let it speak thus; we bow in sorrow at the taking of your dear wife, feeling that while the ripened fruit may be gathered, it seems cruel that the bud should be taken—but in nature fruit falls, so do the blossoms and buds. It will be a sacred thought in years to come to husband, that she radiated in the home as long as she did. It will ever be remembered for no one can fill her place, none can fill the vacant chair. She was ever faithful in Sunday School as a secretary, never shirked from duty. Now, sleep on Sister Emma, we miss you though heaven's gain and our loss. Sorry to report the illness of Sister Lou Drain, who has been on the sick list for some time and who mends very slowly. Goods are There but he Can't Tell How. Meyfield, Ky., June 14, — Marshall R. L. Pigue of water Valley, who went to Marion, Kv., last Sunday in answer to a summons from the jailer of that city with the aid of his two bloodhounds captured two young men named Monroe and Damrun, who, it is alleged, broke into a store in Marion last week. The bloodhounds at once took up the scent that led straight to the home of one of these men, and after a search of the premises was made several articles stolen from the store were located. The prisoners denied entering the store and say they do not know how the goods got there. They were lodged in jilal Marion.

W. F. Moore Lock Box 74. A Nation's Musings. When Vesper's services are over, And the chanter's gone to rest; As I sit musing in the moon's beam, sweet solitude, A thought swells in my breast, I see on the Morn of creation, When the earth had received its form When the waters were given their stations And each warbler was given his song The beast of the forest were created, Each fish, his tribe or clan. But to rule this vast dominion, In His imptge, God created man. Of all the brute creation, There were none of his equal to greet In his anguish and great meditation He was given a loving help-mete. In a garden, the beautiful Eden, He missed the man so wonderfully wrought. To satime and keep it in order, He was given the power of thought. But into the garden stole another, His mien, diabolical craft, His words so sweet, so convincing, Father Adam seemed almost but daft In an hour of great temptation, Where strength and wisdom must tell This innocent pair by satan outwitted And like the angel of darkness fell. Out went peace and contentment, In came strife and turmoil, The murderer began brandishing his dagger, When he began a tiller of soil. Hatred the great usurpator, Holds sway on right's throne of fame With malice in thy heart for thy brother, Prejudice is thy other name. No where is found in the Bible, No history before nor since the flood Has given another creation, So we came from the very same blood. Hatred! Thou has reigned with terror Projudicel Thou has had thy day, Take the Bible for thy mirror, And the Saviour's command obey. Ley aside all thoughts of color, Base on it no superior claim, Let worth and fairness be thy motto, And thy fellowman no longer disdain. It's a truth the Bible proclaims it, That they who build on hate, Can never enter the portals, Just beyond the pearly gates. What for the world's vain riches, Would thou sell thyself for gold, And thru envy strife and hatred, Confiscate thy very soul? Away with that claim superior, All that of color discard. Let's unite at the Saviour's Manger, And prepare to meet our God. J. E. HUBBARD, Grenada, Miss.
