Your Merchants Are Asking For Your Patronage Thru This Paper—Try Them, They Are O.K. With The Goods." THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL.14 NO 16 DIVIDED ON PRESIDENT'S STATE- (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5—"The President didn't say it;" "The President did say it" Washington is just now turbulently discussing the yea and the no of a statement variously attributed to the President which runs thusly: "I am very thoroughly convinced in my mind as to the policy that I am going to inaugurate with reference to appointments, and that is, I am not going to appoint any colored men to public office in the southern states. This thing called race prejudice you cannot down by batting it and the only solution, as I see it, for the colored men in the South, is to fall into the ranks behind white leadership. until he can, acting thru southern legis matures, work out his destiny. This is my policy, "he continued, "and I am going to follow it, live or die, sink or swim." These remarks are alleged to have made by our Chief Executive in the presence of Archibald Grimke, Shelby P. Davidson, Charles A. Cottrill and James A. Cobb. The story runs that these men called on the President representing the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and Shelby P. Davidson is the member of the delegation who reports that Mr. Harding made the statement attributed to him in the foregoing paragraph. The other members have made no statements regarding the matter. As a matter of fact they could not be located when sought for an interview thru which to verify the declaration of Mr. Davidson. President Harding is enjoying his vacation as the guest of several of his more intimate friends in various sections of the country and, of course could not be reached at this time. His secretary, George B. Christian, however, unreservedly asserts that the statement of Mr. Davidson is extravagantly misleading and he informed the representative of the Associated Negro Press' that "There is no foundation for the stttement." He further stated he had forwarded a letter to Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor of the A. N. P. denying that the President has ever made the announcement attributed to the Chief Executive by the aforesaid Davidson. Washington is unevenly divided on the question. Such of the colored local celebrities as have been forced to stay in town and swelter in the well. nigh intolerable heat of a Washington summer appear to be one in the opinion that the President is "too smart" to have made the statement ascribed to him by the redoubtable Davidson. And while Davidson vehemently iterates and reiterates he is certain Mr. Harding spoke to the delegation in the terms he reports, most people are shaking their heads doubtfully and are saying in significant asides of him, "nuts on the race problem." The question cannot be wholly settled until the President returns from his vacation trips. Unless some stress of public matters comes to the fore this will not be until September, in all probability. In the meantime the faithful will patiently "sit in the saddle" and await the time of his coming back. It thus remains for all of us to abide, swelter and place our faith in the Lord. No Respect For The Law Here. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Hattieburg, Miss., Aug. 6. Casey Jones, white, recently convicted of the murder of Mrs. J. S. Moseley and sentenced to be hanged July 18, but whose case was pending on appeal before the State Supreme Court, was taken from the county jail by a mob and hanged in the court house yard. WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY. A, g. 5, 1921. All Charges Against Dr McRary Were With Drawn. By The Negro Associated Press CINCINNATI, OHIO, Aug. 5 August 10th, 1920, not quite a year ago, the startling report was published thruout the country that Robert Baxter McRary, L. L. D., a wea thy, well educated and highly respected Negro gentleman of Lexington, North Carolina, had been apprehended by a self-constituted posse of men and forced to leave his home at the peril of his life. A, suit was later filed against Dr. McRary by a prominent white man, R. R. Varner, in the Superior Court of Davidson County, North Caro'ina, for $100,000.00 for damages, alleging alienation of the affection of his wife. Each side employed ten prominent attorneys, which indicates the far-reaching interest in the case. *Upon motion of Dr. McRery's attorneys, made on the grounds of diverse citizenship, Dr. McRary having established his citizenship in Ohio, the case was removed to the United States D'atrict Courts at Greensboro, North Caro'ina. After many delays the trial was fixed for the May term, 1921, but it was postponed. Subsequently, the prosecutor, thru his attorneys, proposed a settlement. The terms submitted by them were not accepted. The defendants dictated certain changes in the proposed settlement which changes were agreed to by the prosecution and carried out. The suit was non-suited and all charges in any way affecting the moral character of Dr. McBary were withdrawn. Dr. McRary has for twelve years been an active and respected member of the Board of Education for Negrees of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with headquarters at Cincinnati. He has been a member of that church since a boy, and for many years was a Sundav School superintendent. He is a graduate of Lincoln University, which institution gave him the degree of Doctor of Laws. He was for six years Justice of the Peace in Lexington and was for several years a Notary Public. He offered his resignation from the above named Board if the brethren thought wise, but it was not accepted. A committee of three, consisting of Bishop Hartzell of Cincinnati. Bishop Leete of Indianapolis, and Bishop Jones of New Orleans, was appointed by the above Board as a "Committee of Counsel" in relation to the case. This committee made its report thru its Chairman, Bishop Hartzell, at a meeting held July 12th, 1921. The official correspondence between Judge Bynum of Course' for Dr. McRary, and Bishop Hartzell of Cincinnati, representing the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is self-explanatory. Opportunities For You In Western Rev. A. A. Fortson, who resides at 1021 Indiana Avenue, has just returned from an extensive trip of inspecting farm lands owned by the Santa Fe Railway Company and being sold by the Howell Rhinehart Company of Dodge City, Kas. Mr. Fortson has had a wide scope of experience along this line having brought some of the first immigrants out of Kentucky 30 years ago and was successful in immigrating 3500 natives of Kentucky in our fair state all of whom have been gad of their change and by this having had this experience is why he was chosen among the many of us here by this respective Company. Howell and Rhinehart to first inspect their lands and meet farmers, who have been buyers of these valuable lands here mentioned, which are found in Stanton, Morton and Grant; and expects to handle Stevens, Hastell, Seward, Meade and Gray counties, where there still is available land to be bought by those desiring it. One of the most prosperous towns he chanced to stop, was Montezuma, where he found lots of weathy colored formers one of whom he mentioned was a Mrs. Elliott, who owns May Save Ray From Georgia Mob. (YY Tze Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 5—(Special) The N. A. A. C. P., New York, has announced that Governor Groesbeck of Michigan has refused to permit extradition of Thomas Ray to Georgia until officials of Wilkinson county has d sproved a report that preparations to lynch Ray were made a year ago. At that time, Albert Sleeper, then Governor of Michigan had signed the extradition papers. The legal fight in the case has been conducted by the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P., churches and citizens of Detroit, and the attorneys in the case Messrs Will is, Hinton and McKinney. Ray is wanted for murder, having in June of 1920 shot and killed Dewitt Faulkner, who had threatened him with death and was about to shoot Ray who fired first. Ray escaped to Canada, finally returning to Detroit where he obtained employment. 40 September of 1920, his house was raided by Detroit police accompanied by Faulkner's brother, and Ray was detained for two days with out being permitted to communicate with his friends or attorneys. Attorneys Willis and Hinton of Detroit were retained to defend Ray and the Detroit Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., associated its attorney, W. Hayse McKinney, with the other two. Despite all efforts Governor Sleeper granted extradition for Ray. A habeas corpus writ was then obtained from the Circuit Court of Wayne County, but Ray was rearrested and Governor Sleeper, again granted extradition. A second writ of habeas corpus could not be obtained, but the ground was laid, in the taking of testimony, for an appeal to the supreme Court of Michigan. The Supreme Court, on July 20, upheld the Wayne County Circuit in denying the writ of habeas corpus. Governor Groesbeck's action thus prevents the return of Ray to Georgia, where there is great probability he would be lynched. Attorneys for Ray have in their possession newspaper clippings from Wilkinson County, Georgia, which dec'are that Ray would be lynched if returned. The Attorneys feel that there will be no Difficulty in proving that preparations were made for lynching Ray and that Gov. Groesbeck's action will stand. 16000 acres of land with about 500 heard of cattle and about 50 or 75 head of horses and mules with hogs and chickens by the dozens. Another town mentioned was Johnson City, the county site of Stanton county Kansas in this town he found Public schools, High schools and all that goes to make up a prosperous city; he also says that the surrounding country was in the best of shape with huge crops and plenty of anything that goes to make life worthwhile on a farm; let it be understood that all these counties and towns are on the new railroad running from Dodge City. Elkhart, Kas., is a new town site on the new prospective railway that is to run from Johnson City to Colorado line. Rev. Fortson, a man, who formed successfully in Kentucky over 35 years ago when farm products only brought a fourth of what they bring today was so inspired with the new land of Canaan for the Negro farmer that he could not complete his tour of inspection until he had bought 160 acres for himself and he sait man 65 years old. Now, what would a young man have done, if he had been there or goes there? He brought back samples of cane, kaffir and other negations, which were extraordinary in their size. Now, Mr. A. A. Fortson is the sole agent of this Company in this city and if you are interested you will call him by 'Phone Market 2657J, or call in person at his home 1021 Indiana Avenue or address mail to' Rev. A. A. Fortson 1021 Indiana Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. Need No Advice From Imperial Wizard. (Rw The Associated Negro Press) DALLAS, TEXAS, Aug. 5—The southwestern marked bant jague, in a week-end spur of "activities," had brought its score for the year near the century mark. Reports of denominations filtering in during the past 24 hours brought the total to well above 80. Following closely this announced intentions of Imperial Wizard W. J. Simmons of the Ku Klux Klan, Atlanta, that an investigating body would be sent to Texas and Oklahoma to prove his organization was not back of the demonstrations, word came from Austin of a move to thwart Simmons' plan. Representative Patmann filed a resolution with the house clerk condemning the Ku Klux Kan in its present form and providing that Simmons abondon his plan. Patmann said that sending such a delegation would be distasteful and probably result in disorders. Gov. 'Neff has refused to comment on what action, if any, he will take on a petit'on presented to him by 50 members of the Legislature asking that legislation be introduced with a view to breaking up the klan in Texas. Patmann's resolution is expected to open the way for discussion in the Legislature of the klan question, however. A FEW MORE FACTS ABOUT A GREAT SUMMER SCHOOL. Beginning with July 4, and continuing through July 9, there was held at Topeka, Kansas, one of the finest Summer schools in the country. The splendid buildings of the Industrial and Educational Institute were granted without charge for the use of the Summit School by the gena principal, George R. Bridgeforth. Rev. J. H. Van Leu, secretary of the Kansas Baptist. Convention was the director in charge, the not fully recovered from the serious effect, of stomaine poisoning several wicks before; he was at his post regularly, and presided with becoming dignity, and expedited the work of the school with such prassworthy ability that he was unanimously chosen as Director for next year. More than fifty pastors of our Newro churches were present, a few of them gave formal addresses in the Summer School, while many of them participated in the discussion of topics presented in the class sessions. They were all enthusiastic students, attending all the sessions regularly. The regular teachers of the Summer School from aboard were: Rev. E. W. Moore, of New York, General Secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, for Negro work of the Northern Baptist Convention. Rev. Carter, now of California, but founder and former principal of the Industrial and Educational Institute. Rev. Stillman of Los Angeles, pastor of one of the largest Baptist churches on the Pacific Coast. Rev. L. M. Denton, and Rev. W. A. Sharp, both of the Kansas City Baptist Theological Seminary, the former taught Bible Structure and Homiletics, the latter taught Missions and Evangelism. Rev. J. M. Gurley, States Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Secretary for Kansas, gave an address each day on Young People's work. Dr. J. J. Crawford, executive secretary of the Kansas Baptist Convention, gave one or two addresses. The attendance was much larger than last year and all felt the school had passed the experimental stage; it was voted to kingthen the time of the time of the Summer School to two weeks, and to plan regular, progressive Course of Study covering five Summers' work, leading to a diploma of graduation; all present this year were given certificates of matriculation which will entitle them to advanced standing. All students who have attended either or both of the previous years will be given credit for the work which they have done, if they enter for the regular work of the Diploma Course. The finest thing about the work of this Summer School is that every person ever present goes out as an enthusiastic On Technical Terms He Was Admitted. (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D.C., Aug. 5. Secretary Davis admitted the Mayor of Monrovia, Litteria, into the United States this month in spite of the fact that during July only one-half of one person may enter from that country under the percentage immigration restriction law. Only 3 per cent of the nationals of any country already here can be admitted for the year, and but 20 per cent of that number in any one month. In the case of Liberia, statisticians of the immigration service said this 20 per cent amounted to half a person, and Commissioner General Husband recommended to Secretary Davis, that, no provision being made for such anatomical fractions, the entire Mayor may be admitted. It Now Becomes State Property. (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Aug. 5.—Federal Hill, the old southern mansion near Bardstown, where Stephen C. Foster wrote the song "My Old Kentucky Home," is now to all intents and purposes the property of the state of Kentucky. The State Commission which recently appealed to 'Kentuckians at home and abroad' for funds with which to purchase the property reported contributions at $60,800, which covers the purchase price of $50,000, but, according to the commission, does not provide sufficient funds for its restoration. Dr. C. T. Walker Passed To His Reward. (By The Associated Negro Press) Augustin, Ga., Aug. 5.—The Rev. Charles T. Walker, commonly said to be the greatest Negro preacher of his time, died last Friday at his home here. Dr. Walker was vice president of the National Baptist Convention of the United States and pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church here for the last forty years, except five years when he was pastor of the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. New York City He founded the Colored men's branch Y. M. C. A in New York, traveled extensively in Europe and the holy land and was the author of a number of books of travel as well as sermons. As an evangelist he was widely known. Ponca City News. Mrs. Ecton of Guthrie was here last Sunday and phoned at the St. John Baptist Church. Mrs. Ecton is a frequent visitor of our city. Miss Mary Harper of this city, left for Colorado Springs, on last Saturday night, where she will spend her vacation. Mrs. Walter Wells and grandchildren Carl and Odessa Gun and Generva Tzylor and also Miss Cullums, Mr. Perry, Miss Clarke, Mr. Tucker, and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Scott were the Newkirk, visitors on last Sunday. A rally was given to raise money to remodel the church. They all reported a nice time. The mission sisters of the A. M. K. Church were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Cleon Flewellen on the lawns of Mrs. Howard and Maxwell on last Thursday night. Miss Elaine Mitchell of Arkansas City, Kansas, was a Ponce visitor on last Sunday. Mr. Kelver Clarke departed on last Sunday night for his home in Guthrie but expects to return soon. helpful work is being done. Co-operation is now assured not only of the Negro Baptist State Convention, but the assurance of American Baptist Home Mission Society, and the American Baptist Publication Society, and of the White Baptist Convention of Kansas. PRICE, FIVE CENTS PROPAGANDA INTENDED TO EMBARRASS THE LEADERS. Trying Hinder The Negro From Rebuilding. (By The Associated Negro Press) TULSA, OKLA., (Special to The Negro Star)—Propaganda intended to embarrass certain members of the relief committee, who have taken an active stall against the attitude of the city of Tula and the white real estate board, in the matter of the retention of the Negroes' property in the district where their property has been destroyed, is being scattered all over the country. Surprise has been exhibited by the white citizens of the community and city to find that certain members of the race are finding money available in other places than the city of Tula and the white real homes and rehabilitate themselves. Quite recently a white 'ady rode down into Greenwood in her car and asked one of the prominent black men thers who it was who was furnishing him funds with which to rebuild. "THERE ARE TWELVE MILLIONS OF NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES." answered this wary gentleman. "AND WE ARE COLLECTING FIFTY CENTS.APIECE FROM THEM FOR REBUILDING PURPOSES." In other words, the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to with-hold financial assistance from those who desire to rebuild on their holdings, it is said, and they are attempting to 'ocate all agencies from which Negroes are likely to receive assistance, so everything indicates. The Negro who gave the answer above was more diplomatic than truthful. He never-theless carried his point of keeping certain interested folks in the dark. Here is the story that was carried in the Associated Press. In an attempt to discredit the Colored Belief Committee: Tulsa, Okla., July 29.—Some of the citizens of this city are agitating in more expedite distributing and accounting of a considerable sum of money said to have been collected here through subscriptions from out-of-town persons for riot refugees' relief. It is claimed that the money is on deposit in a bank and is not being used to help families who are destitute and really in need. O. W. Gurley is said to be chairman of the relief committee. This report, widely circulated all over the nation, has proven very embarrassing to the committee of prominent Negroes of the Tulsa Relief Committee and their representatives in many points in the United States. It is to be expected that the Negroes of the United States would want to feel that they were not being buncoed. It is true that several irresponsible citizens have attempted to collect funds in several places; in fact, there is information to the effect that in several instances, designing persons have gotten away with large sums of money, but the Associated Press report does not seek to deal with them. It indicts directly the regular committee at Tulsa, of which Mr. O. W. Gurley is an active member. The attempt to cast suspensions upon the committee is really an attack upon the Negroes' rebuilding program on the part of certain influences who seek in every way to embarrass and harass those of our group who have the courage to attempt to reconstruct their property in the former business area. Gurley has about finished the reconstruction of his building on the east side of Greenwood and has attacked his other building on the other side of the street. Here is a general survey of the group who constitute the Relief Committee: S. D. Hooker, who is chairman, is one of the most responsible Negro business men in America. He was, prior to the fire, the partner in the famous Elliott Hooker clothing of Tusah. He has been connected (Continued on page two) EXCEPTIONAL VALUES SATURDAY For home or street wear with solid color linens West and Shirt and Trimming of Bates Zepher, Gingham in Paints Peg Style.

He is also a member of the Oklahoma Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation. Rev. R. A. Whittaker, secretary of the committee, is the pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church, the church which sustained the loss of $85,000,00 during the fire. It stands to reason that he would not have been in charge of such a great community effort had he not had the confidence of the people in the city of Tulsa. G. A. Gregg, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., at Tulsa, Hunton Branch, is a man who is known beyond the confines of Oklahoma, because of his many years of honest effort in organizational effort among Negroes. Attorney E. I. Saddler has been a resident of Oklahoma for many years. He lived in the city of Guthrie for about 20 years, where his record is unemitted, before going to Tulsa. As a public man and a lawyer, he is known all over the state. J. Tyler Smith, treasurer of the committee, is one of the most prominent educators in the state of Oklahoma. His father is now operating a large grocery store in the city of Muskogee. Before the riot, he and his father operated the "Welcome Grocery store" in the city of Tulsa. They carried a stock worth fully $150,000.00. Rev. H. T. S. Johnson is the secretary of the State Inter-Racial Commission. He has pastored the Wesley chapel M. E. Church of Tulsa for many years. He is known all over Oklahoma as one of our most trusted leaders. Rev. Jas. A. Johnson is a presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church, Tulsa district. He has large property holdings in several places in Oklahoma, and can be counted upon at all times to be a pillar of trust. J. H. Goodwin is a real estate operator who has made his way since coming to Tulsa from the south and his dealings have been honest and he too is respected and has the confidence of our group. Horace S. Hughes is an instructor in the city school system. He is also a responsible citizen. Dr. R. W. Mottly is a physician of Tulsa, and has been for several years. Prof. J. W. Hughes is principal of the Grade schools of Tulsa. He is a heavy realty holder; has been connected with the "Y" work there for several years has been prominently mentioned for the Grand Mastership of Oklahoma Masons. Dr. S. S. Jones needs no introduction to the nation. He is a nationa' character, having been connected with the National Baptist Convention for many years. He is one of the most able leaders of the race and is president of the General Baptist Convention of Oklahoma. E. A. Loupe and Rev. James R. McClain are both well known and have the respect of all who know them. The time has come when in crisis we must refuse to be moved from the leadership of the race. These men were tried and true before the riots and they are true and worthy now. Propaganda, such as is going the rounds is circulated for purposes that are obvious to the discerning. Money is being raised; it will be used to assist in every way to relieve the suffering and needy. Five attorneys have been employed by this committee to defend the score or more of Negroes who are charged with riot. These attorneys are all able members of the bar. Their names follow: R. Emmett Stewart, Muskogee; G. W. P Brown, Chicago; Elisha Scott, Tope'a; E. I Saddler, Tulsa; and J. W. Burnes, (white) Oklahoma City.

(By The Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURGH, PA., Aug. 5-It was Repubic Senator Barr, of this city, who declared on the floor of the Pennsylvania legislature, in a speech while the Civil Rights bill was up, that the trouble with the Negroes of the state was, that they were being directed under false leadership. One of the leaders referred to, was Attorney Robert L. Vann, who is, also editor in chief of the Pittsburgh Courier and the Competitor magazine. The answer to this "false leadership" charge is the placing in nomination by the women's Repub lean organization, of Attorney Vann for the position of County Judge. All of the Colored lawyers of the city were balloted on for the position, and Vann won out with a good lead. A "Committee of One Hundred" has been formed, and they will push the candidacy of Attorney Vann for the primary nomination in September. Under the new Pennsylvania election law, with the great plurality of Republicans in the district, nomination at the primary is equivalent to an election, and there is every reason to believe that Vann will be nominated for he is a most aggressive public spirited citizen, and has a large following in both races. Attorney Vann is, also, serving a term as Assistant City Solicitor. The campaign is attracting nationwido attention. To the Associated Negro Press Mr. Vann said: "I greatly appreciate the compliment paled me, and when made judge, I will serve all people to the best of my ability. It is agreed that the great increase of our population entitled us to genuine civic representation."
