Williams, Staff, Correspondent.) Williams, Staff Correspondent.) Tulsa Okla, June 9—I was a trifling incident that caused the terrible outbreak in this city last week. The toll in known deaths is reported at 40. I say this advisedly, for there is always means of suppressing facts when certain people in authority do not want them known. The known wounded run way up into the hundreds. It is conservatively placed at 600, but this in my judgment is below the actual figures. Property losses are placed at about $2,000,000. It is absolutely impossible to conceive of the horrors of the scene or of the hell that broke loose here, but the horror and terror was not all on one side; Negroes were not the cowed, terror-strenken, broken-spirited crowd that press dispatches would have the public believe. Odds were against them. it is true, but determination to protect themselves was not wanting. The losses of our people are heavy and destitution great. The unfortunate feature to my mind is the bitterness of spirit engendered and the waning faith in the minds of our people in the disposition of the white people to deal justly with our group. This to my mind is ominously tragic for both racial groups. The incident which was apparently the inciting cause was only the superficial one. There had been preparation for this outbreak. It had long been foreseen and long planned, just as the riots in East St. Louis, Washington and Omaha were skillfully planned. The causes leading up to this tragic affair, for which the alleged "assault by a Negro upon a white orphan girl" furnished the excuse were deeper than appear on the surface. Here are my conclusions covering the causes that in all probability led to the final outbreak which has proved so disastrous. First, it was a well-defined plan that has been mapped out by the leading political and civic organizations of Tulsa for the purpose of getting possession of the territory which had been organized by Negroes and known as "Little Africa," and according to the policy of Tulsa was pointed out as a successfully segregated district where the Negro was ever under the eyes of the city fathers and could be easily controlled or subdued as the occasion might demand. And true to custom of the South, this section was divided from the white sections by the ever present railroad tracks and then skirted, as the railroad facilities increased, by other roads. As Tulsa grew in wealth, business and industry, so did the Negro population grow in numbers and spread over and beyond the new and last railroad tracks. The Negroes grew in wealth, developed big and well-paying businesses; also fine and well appointed, as well as richly furnished homes. As the city's business and industries grew, so did the business of the railroads, and Tulsa became a big distributing point, demanding increased warehouse and wholesale housing facilities; and the real estate board of the Chamber of Commerce, which had charge of the planning of the city, realized that the area now set aside and known as "Little Africa" was the one spot, and only practical location for this new wholesale district. They had sounded the Negroes about selling their holdings and found them unwilling, positively refusing to consider the plan. So they bided their time, and having decided, by hook or crook, to bring about a change of thought among the Negroes, they made a complete plan (which their actions on Wednesday morning proved) and waited for the psychological moment to put it into operation, which came on Tuesday night, May 31. SLOGAN: THE MONITOR A young Colored boy entered an elevator operated by a white girl, upon whose foot he tread accidentally and awkwardly stumbled against her. The girl remonstrated loudly and angrily which exclamations attracted the attention of a loafer, said to be a Greek loitering in the lobby, who rushed to the elevator threatening the now thoroughly frightened Colored boy who dodged and ran away. The facts are gathered by a curb reporter on an afternoon sheet known as The Tribune, who plays it up in the most inflammatory manner, which has an instant effect upon the large "rough-neck" population of Tulsa, composed of the workers of the oil fields who bear a reputation as men of the rough and ready type even in peaceful times —something on the order of the miners of the old western gold fields. Dick Rowland, the Colored boy, was arrested and placed in prison by a Colored officer, Henry Pack. The streets were by this time packed with the loafers, hoodlums, the rough men from the oil fields and crowds of curious on-lookers, for the word had gone around that there would be a lynching. Sheriff McCullough, who has always been friendly to the Negroes and seemingly fair, prepared to meet the situation by appointing twenty Colored men as deputies in addition to the two he already possessed. As the mob fury increased after each exhortation to disperse by the sheriff, mayor, and prominent citizens, both Colored and white, the Negro quarter having received its warnings of the happenings around the jail, decided to strengthen the position of the sheriff by offering further assistance, which he refused, declaring that the elevators had been drawn to the top floor where the jail was situated and the stairs heavily charged with electricity and that he and his deputies would die in defense of their prisoner. But some of the Colored citizens remembered Omaha and decided to take up a position near the jail house in the event that the mob attacked. There were wo automobile loads. They were soon sighted by the mob told they were on forbidden ground, they were in the white man's territory — to the south of the well defined dead line, the Frisco tracks, and on investigation, finding these men armed they became incensed and rushed the cars. There was a sound of firing and after the first discharge it was discovered that several white men were down and two of the Negroes dead. Then came the retreat of the Negroes back to the segregated district where they were met by others and the battle was on. This was 10:45 P. M. Tuesday night. The crowd immediately broke into all hardware ad gun stores, as well as the armory, arming themselves with every conceivable weapon. There was firing between small groups all during the night. While the preparations for the carrying out of that long-delayed well defined plan to gain the territory now possessed by the Negroes to teach the now impudent Negro a lasting lesson by destroying his spirit of independence through the destruction of his property, his business, and even his life; and this was the way it was done: First a cordon of armed men in automobiles was drawn around the northern and eastern sections of "Little Africa", then all of the available airplanes, to the number of eight, were called into service. They did scout duty. Then men, persuably members of the American Legion and local militia, armed with bayonets and rifles, accompanied by a large body of special policemen, advanced from the south and west, demanding the surrender at each home of the inmates, taking the men prisoners or shooting them down if showing the least resistance or hesitation, and allowing the women to escape to the south, taking the men A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1921. Monitor Starts Relief Fund for Tulsa Riot Victims MONITOR RELIEF FUND FOR TULSA RIOT VICTIMS That The Monitor's action in starting a relief fund for the victims of the Tulsa riot is approved has been shown by verbal and telephone messages from several persons with the assurance that they would contribute to the fund. The contributions up to the present however have been slow. The first to be received was $1.00 from Mrs. Alonzo Jackson. The Waiters of the Blackstone Hotel have sent in $12.50. This makes the total amount in hand $23.50. We hope to have this substantially increased by our next issue. Don't delay. Send in something, however small. We want the children to send in their pennies too. Due acknowledgement will be made and exact accounting for the Fund. Let everybody help.

This vanguard, following these tactics with the airplanes hovering above, soon reached Greenwood avenue, the heart of the Negro business section. A mob which had followed in their wake had looted and set fire to the homes which they had forced the Negroes to vacate. Now the airplanes got in their deadly work and a machine gun which had come down Archer Avenue sent a shower of deadly missiles through the buildings on both sides of Greenwood. The airplanes dropped inflammable bombs upon the roofs of the buildings setting the buildings on fire, forcing the inmates into the streets where those who were not killed were captured or forced to surrender. At 11:30 the destruction of the district was complete and 3000 homes two blocks of fine and prosperous business representing a loss of $2,000,000, 6,000 men, women and children were prisoners, and the well laid plans for putting the fear of white men into the heart of the Negro had been carried out. Immediately the Brigadier General of the State National Guard appeared upon the scene and with only 100 men had completely subjected the crowd to military discipline, martial law was invoked, and the now gleeful mob went back joyfully across the Frisco tracks leaving a desolate and ruined district that was once prosperous homes of the Negroes, each one of the mob carrying home with him some loot from the terror stricken district. EYES OF RACE ON NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE Washington, D. C., June 9.—The National Republican Committee is in session here and some of the members among them R. Beecher Howell of Nebraska, are in favor of reducing the number of delegates from the Southern states to the national republican convention. This means unconditional surrender to the Lily Whites. Prominent leaders here are making it plain to the committee that elimination of the Southern Negro from the republican party will meet resentment in the North and West. Mr. Howell has received telegrams from prominent Colored men of Nebraska making their position very plain and urging him to vote against the proposition.

DISCUSS OUTBREAK Mob Violence Subject of Pulpit Talks; Various Causes Ascribed to Rioting. Tulsa, Okla., June 6.—The visit of Dr. Dubois, editor of a Negro magazine, not many weeks ago had a bearing on the race trouble hear last week. Bishop E. D. Mouzon intimated in a sermon yesterday. Practically all Tulsa ministers devoted at least a part of their sermons to the race riot, its causes and results. "Negroes on the night of the riot found their guns and ammunition in the office of the Star, Negro paper," said the bishop. "I believe that Dubois' visit had much to to with this fact. He is one of the most dangerous Negroes in the country. Pleads for Dirarmament Pleads for Dirarmament "The mob and the mob spirit are always wrong. It is rufous to civilization. Agitators can accomplish nothing but harm. Tulsa has been disgraced in the eyes of the world. Civilization broke down here. Everyone of us is partly responsible because we took no more interest in the government and law enforcement." Rev Rolfe Pomeroy Carm, of Trinity Episcopal church used the riot to illustrate how possession of arms leads to warfare. He used the illustration to advocate disarmament for the nation and world. Will Stop Bragging. "The events of the past week will stop Tulsa's bragging and set her to doing and thinking," said the Rev C. W. Kerr of the First Presbyterian. A prevailing spirit of lawlessness combined with bod Negroes started the trouble, he opined. HARDING DEPLORES TULSA RACE RIOTS Lincoln University, Pa., June 6— In an address before 400 Negro students at Lincoln university today, President Harding deplored the recent race riot at Tulsa, Okla., and all similar outbreaks of race rioting, "God grant," he said, in referring to the riot, "that we may never have another spectacle like it." The president was shown the granite arch erected in memory of Negro soldiers who died in the World War and in his talk said the colored soldiers earned this honor. The president also spoke of the great benefits of education in furthering the welfare of the Negroes, and contrasted the fine scene presented at the university with those enacted in race disturbances. PITIFUL TALES OF MISERY ARE TOLD BY BLACKS Only Handful of Salvage From Burned REAL ESTATE MEN BEGIN TO FIX LOSS. Tulsa, June 3.—The plight of many Negroes today still remained pitiful. The Y. M. C. A. building where the Red Cross has established its identification bureau, was the scene of mingled emotions as hope for lost ones remained unfulfilled or disbanded families were reunited. While there remains no trace of race hatred many Negroes still come to the city hall with fear and trembling for the little white badge inscribed "police protection," which, once donned, immediately restores the Negro's faith and subdues their fear. Kept Injury a Secret. Many pitiful tales of the misery and suffering of the Negro refugees are told. Some venture into the burned district to come away with small bandana handkerchief bundles filled with their entire salvage from once excellent homes. In a prominent hotel yesterday the day porter along in the afternoon being passed by the manager, summoned the courage to say "Boss I've gettin' kinda weak." It was found he had been shot through the side at the small of the back and for 24 hours had feared to reveal his injury lest he be taken for one of the rioters and summarily executed. Two committees from the real estate exchange today were busy in the devasted district fixing the amounts of losses. It was decided for the present that an imaginary fire line would be drawn about the burned district, and that no flimsy structures would be erected thereon. Plan $500,000 Fund. Intent on restoring the homes of Negroes the committee of seven has not yet definitely decided on just what form that restoration shall take. It has several proposals before it, and it is known that while the segregation plan here was regarded as one of the most effective in the country, it is intended to build a Negro district which will be regarded as peerless to be in great part an atonement for the harm done, as well as an example for other cities. The Real Estate Exchange has proposed that the burned districts roughly a mile square, be converted into an industrial and wholesale district and a new residence and business district for Negroes be built adjacent to it, on the north and east, and, at present this plan is discussed chiefly by the committee of seven. The committee expects no difficulty in obtaining the $500,000 it has decided as the amount necessary to rebuild homes which were owned by Negroes. Taking Care of Negroes. Hundreds of Negroes, wearing badges inscribed "Police protection," were on the streets and downtown Tulsa took on a normal appearance. Negroes were at work in hotels and stores and other business places. Employees fed them and provided shelter last night in garages, shops and basements of residences. More than 1,000 Negroes, those who have not been released from guard, slept last night at the fair grounds. The Red Cross fully organized for the emergency at a dozen churches. An identification bureau operated by the Red Cross was sifting the names of the refugees and bringing families back together. Contributions from a number of outside cities were received today by the Red Cross for relief work. Tulsa, Okla, June 3.—Definite plans for building homes for the thousands of Negroes rendered destitute by the burning of the Negro quarter here in the race war of Tuesday night and Wednesday were being worked out today by a civilian committee of relief. Business men of the city were pledged to erect as many houses as needed in the shortest time possible and only the details remained to be worked out. One plan was to clear away the debris from the section levelled by fire and erect permanent dwellings costing from $500 to $1,000 each. Another scheme under consideration was to form a corporation to buy up land in the northern section of the city and build a new Negro colony.—Muskeguee Times-Democrat.

Bishop Reese of Georgia In His Convention Address Vigorously Condemns Mob Violence And Opposes The Ku Klux Klan As An Unlawful and Dangerous Organization. Declares Decent People Are Horrified at Unspeakable Crime Against Colored People in the South. CONVENTION ENDORSES PRELATES POSITION Unanimously Passes Resolution Approving Bishop Reese's Statement And Recommending That The Specific Portion of His Address Dealing With Law Enforcement And Suppression of Mob Violence Be Read In Every Episcopal Church in the Diocese. Savannah, Ga., June 9.—The Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Georgia took unusual action in its recent annual convention held in this city when not only the Rt. Rev. Frederick F. Reese, D. D., counted one of the most conservative of southern bishop devoted a large portion of his address and charge to the convention in drastic denunciation of the lawlessness and crime of this great state against Negroes, but the convention also heartily endorsed the prelate's position and by resolution ordered that the address should be read by every clergyman of the Episcopal church in Georgia to his congregation. The Bishop spoke strongly against the Ku Klux Klan, maintaining that there is no unification for the existence of such an organization at this time and that it is an unwarranted and dangerous folly which will be used for unlawful and dangerous purposes. Speaking on the question of law and order and against mob violence, Bishop Reese said in part: cated and too serious to be disposed of by any offhand judgment of ignorance and prejudice. It is not only the future of the Negro which is at stake, but the future of our own peace and security. For the violence and the domination of force of one race over another cannot produce anything but loss and disaster to both races.

I protest against the misguided, if not criminal folly, of those who have disturbed the situation and created distrust and apprehension among the better Negroes by organizing a secret society under a name which can only recall the lawless violence of those "I am concerned more about the danger and injury done by mob and other forms of violence. These work grave injustice frequently to innocent people and always do grave injury to the dignity and security of our state. I speak of this more immediately in connection with such acts against our Colored people. All decent people are berrified at the charges of unspeakable crime against some of these people which are now the subject of legal investigation. As a Southerner and a white man I know the difficulties of our situation and the irritations that the situation is calculated to excite in us. But no irritations or criminal outrages can justify mob violence or other similar injustices. Many of these people are industrious, respectable and law-abiding. They are entitled to justice. All of them are our brethren in Christ.

I protest against the misguided, if not criminal folly, of those who have disturbed the situation and created distrust and apprehension among the better Negroes by organizing a secret society under a name which can only recall the lawless violence of those who perverted the purpose of the original society so named a generation ago. No patriotic or sensible man could for one moment consider it anything but folly to organize a Ku Klux Klan at this day. The name condemns it. It is not necessary. It can only be at the least a serious error. It cannot fail to be perverted, even if in its origin, not unlawful, to unlawful and dangerous purposes. "I think Christian people and good citizens should utter their minds and express their convictions about matters. It should condemn evil and evil customs. It should stand for law and order against secret or open violence. It should take its stand to protect the weak. And I believe that at this time of serious issues it should proclaim its moral judgment against wrong and injustice. I therefore ask this convention to adopt and to publish its condemnation of all mob violence, of all acts of injustice against the Negro and to declare its opinion that the organization of this secret society is more than a mistake. It is an unwarranted and dangerous folly." diately communicated with several of our active citizens here who telegraphed their views to R. Beecher Howell, whose attitude on this question is wrong. Mr. Howell, who has announced his candidacy for United States senator from Nebraska, is going at affairs decidedly in the wrong way if he expects the support of the Colored voters of Nebraska.

ECCLESIA LOCUTUS EST. Ecclesia locutus est. This means the Church hath spoken. In days of old when the authority of the Church because she spoke with one voice and not with many discordant voices, was recognized this meant that a judgment from which there was no further appeal had been given, and that they who value their soul's salvation must listen and obey. Today of course ecclesiastical unity does not exist, but at the same time there is a common Christian consciousness, which will hearken to the voice of the Christian Church, which includes all organizations of Christians, when it speaks clearly and fearlessly on moral issues and for justice and righteousness. The trouble has been that the Christian pulpit has been criminally silent against terrible wrongs and injustices, social and economic, which have existed all too long in the United States. The American Church, and by this term we would include all the religious forces of America, has been affected with an acute moral astigmatism which made it purblind to domestic ills and injustices and keen sighted as to the wrongs prevailing in foreign lands. Armenian massacres evoked, and justly, righteous indignation. American atrocities against black citizens were too trivial to be noticed. This attitude, considered by many hypocritical, has brought censure upon the Church. Fortunately, however, the American Church is beginning to speak out against evils at home. Various religious bodies have of late expressed themselves in no uncertain times against lawlessness and mob violence. The most conservative are being moved to find a voice. A recent notable case in point is the action by the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Georgia, where the Bishop of that conservative diocese made a strong appeal for the people of his communion to take a stand against mob violence and an unlawful and unwarranted organization which can but provoke violence and strife. What is more notable perhaps is the fact the convention heartily endorses the utterance of its bishop and took decisive actions towards creating a sentiment which must dethrone lawlessness. This shows that when Christian leaders show courage for the right their followers will support them. A great burden and responsibility rest upon the Christian Church of America today to stem lawlessness. The demand is urgent for fearless religious leaders who will have the Lordmoral courage to say, "Thus saith the Lord." "Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murder hath eternal life abiding in him." Let the American Church speak out unequivocally and plainly, showing the people their transgressions and their sins and the clouds, heavy and ominous which hover over our nation will lift. Let the Church speak. MASONS ELECT OFFICERS The Omaha Lodge No. 9 A. F. & A. M. met Thursday night June 2 and elected the following officers for a term of one year: Geo. T. Robinson W. M.; E. D.

DOLGOFF Gentlemen: You have promised and we believe sincerely, to make needed improvements in our growing city. You are aware that certain close in sections have been shamefully neglected, while outlying districts have been improved. Certain sections are poorly paved and poorly lighted while others are well-paved and well-lighted. The Monitor desires to call your attention to a prominent and growing business street which needs immediate improvement in the matter of lights. We refer to North Twenty-fourth street between Cuming and Lake streets. This district is most poorly lighted. It is occupied by a large number of small merchants and various business enterprises and an increasing number of larger and more pretentious business firms, representing in the aggregate heavy capitalization. These business people, even though they be modest are justly entitled to a better lighted street. It will not only improve the looks of he city, but will improve the business of these people who are contributing substantially to the commercial upbuilding of Omaha. The names of many of these firms appear on this page. All want a better lighted street and are heartily backing The Monitor in this request. During your last administration North Twenty-fourth street was paved and this has increased traffic on this street. Now give us up to date lights and plenty of them. The Monitor respectfully urges the City Commissioners to give us better lights in this section. 1914-16-18 North 24th St. Webster 1607 To Mayor Dahlman and Gentlemen:—You are merely, to make needed You are aware that shamefully neglected, proved.
