THETULSA STAR Hear Dr. Morris Tomorrow at the Grand Opera House Co. Commissioners May Close Negro Schools Separate School Fund Exhausted But Supt. Oberholtzer Recommends Big Appropriation For Colored Schools M. H. Who is championing the cause of the boys and girls of Tulsa. A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Vol. 2, No 28 Co. Commission Clos Separate School But Supt. Ober mends Big A For Colore SUPT. E. E. C Who is championing the cause Early this week it was reported that the County Commissioners had ordered the Colored Schools of this city closed because of a lack of county funds to continue the schools until the regular time of closing. The report caused considerable unrest and many there were who were willing to give their time and money to see that the Colored children of this city are given as much educational advantage as the white children. Supt. Oberholtzer was openly opposed to closing the Colored schools and at the meeting of the County Commissioners last Wednesday insisted that the Colored schools continue until the regular timeo f school closing, assuring them that if they could not find a way, he would show them a way. Prof. Hughes Dr. Bridgewater, Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Roth all attended the Commissioners meeting Tuesday in the interest of the schools and doubtless had some influence with the Commissioners. The law of this State provides a separate school fund for Colored people. Even in cities like Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Muskogee, where the city schools are under the supervision of the city superintendent of schools, the county affords the revenue to run the schools for Colored children, while the white schools are maintained by city revenue. As a result many of the Colored schools in the State have been compelled to close while the white schools in the SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY MAY 9. 1914 same city have run the full term. There is nothing fair or just in such law as this, and the Colored people of the State should make a special effort to have enacted a new school law which will guarantee to every boy and girl, white or black, an equal chance for education. The better class of white people everywhere are opposed to abridging the school rights of any child and will lend their influence to give every black boy and girl in the State a square deal in his or her struggle for an education. Supt. Oberholtzer has shown himself a big hearted broad gauged man, a peerless friend to education, a scholar and a gentleman of no mean ability. His stand and fight for the schools of this city has won for him the wholehearted support and commendation of all the best people of the city. He has done more for the city schoolsd uring his administration than any of his predecessors have done before him, and he will do much more. He appeared before the County Commissioners Tuesday and asked the County Commissioners for $40,000 to erect another school building for Colored children and equip it with an up-to-date Manual Training Dept. The Commissioners took his recommendation under advisement until next Wednesday when Mr. Oberholtzer will again appear before them to plead for the Colored Schools. At present there are only 12 teachers in the two Colored schools, but Supt. Oberholtzer says he expects to start the next term with five additional teachers, making a total of seventeen teachers for three schools, and he will insist that each teacher is qualified before appointment. The following teachers have been appointed so far: Prof. E. A. Woods, principal H. S. Prof. J. W. Hughes, principal Dunbar S. Other teachers will probably be appointed this month.

READ THE TULSA STAR FOR THE TULSA NEWS REBELS PLAN TO TAKE TAMPICO TWELVE THOUSAND TROOPS TO BE MOBILIZED FOR SEA- PORT ATTACK. VILLA WILL COMMAND ATTACK Hope of Armistice Between Mexican Factions Believed Slim.—Carranza and Villa On Very Good Terms El Paso.—While General Carranza has not replied officially to the proposition of the South American mediators for a federal-rebel armistice, officials here say his answer is plainly forecast in orders promulgated for a concentrated attack on Tampico. The federal gunboats and the land defenses of Tampico have proved too big a task for the troops of Generals Cabellero and Gonzales and orders were issued for the mobilization of 12,000 troops from the states of Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon. It is reported also that General Francisco Villa will lead the attack. Rafael E. Muzquiz, a son-in-law of General Carranza and a leader of the junta here, is one of the authorities for the declaration that the armistice in northern Mexico is impossible. It is rumored in connection with the proposal that acceptance of the proposition would have to carry with it some form of recognition of the belligerency of the rebels, but General Carranza is said to have commented that he did not care to accept it in that way as it was bound to come in due time with the success of his forces. Villa On Money Hunt. It is learned that Villa's recent trip to Juarez and his present peregrinations are on business matters connected with raising revenue. The United States is said to have become rigid in its demands for the protection of foreign interests in Mexico, thereby embarrassing the process of raising funds by war taxes and confiscation. Villa's present itinerary will be arranged so he can accompany Carranza into Torreon, when he is to review the troops. It is reported that he will visit Monterey congratulating his forces there on the capture of the city. It is said the rebel capital will move to Torreon with the first chief, and that after the expected capture of Saltillo that city will be the capital. Mr. Muzquiz has been authorized by General Carranza to proceed to cities recently taken by the rebels and install civil officers. Work of repairing railroads will be pushed with great energy. Denies Strained Relations In a letter addressed to the Associated Press and signed by General Villa, the latter asserts that the best of feeling exists between himself and Carranza. The letter follows "To The Associated Press: "It is absolutely false, as statements in the newspapers have maintained, that there exists bad feeling between the supreme chief of the constitutionalists and myself. Between us there exists the greatest cordiality and good feeling and for my part, will always tender the chief the respect and subordination which I have always shown in all my acts. (Signed) "FRANCISCO VILLA." The letter is dated April 29. FUNSTON COMMANDS VERA CRUZ Uncle Sam's Khaki-Clad Soldiers Have Wholesome Effect. Vera Cruz.—The task of guarding the city of Vera Cruz and its environs was taken over from the navy by Brigadier General Frederick Funston and the Fifth infantry brigade of the United States army. While martial law still continues in force, the actual municipal government is being conducted by Robert J. Kerr, the American civil governor who has enlisted the aid of Mexico officials to act under his superintendency and in accordance with Mexican laws. After a morning enlivened by the marching to and fro of large bodies of American soldiers, sailors and marines, the city resumed its normal and somewhat sleepy daily life. The evening, however, was made gay by outdoor dinner parties at the cafes and restaurants, accompanied by music and sometimes by dancing. IN TALENTS WITH LABELS Huerta's Minister of War TRUCE ARRANGED IN MEDITATION ALL ACTIVE MILITARY PREPARATIONS TO BE SUSPENDED As Far As Huerta and the United States Are Concerned—Carranza's Attitude in Some Doubt Washington.—Restrained but none the less steady, preparations for any military eventualities that may become necessary and the quiet, but definite progress of the mediation program being worked out behind closed doors—these are the two outstanding features of the Mexican situation here. The three mediation envoys of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, continued their private sittings. Their first move for an armistice was succeeded by the planned suspension of hostilities or a truce between the forces of the United States and the Huerta regime, although there still were ominous sounds of conflict between the Huerta and Carranza forces. Secretary Bryan formally notified the three South American envoys that the American government took it for granted there would be no hostilities during the mediation proceedings and had intended no further acts of aggression while the conferences were being held. General Huerta accepted the proposal that there be no further hostilities between the United States and Mexico pending the efforts of the envoys. While the envoys were not ready to make an announcement, several interesting phases of what has come up during the discussion were learned from authoritative sources. It appears that, while the attitude of General Huerta was definite in accepting intermediation as between the United States and the Huerta government, it has not yet been made clear that his acceptance will also apply to intermediation that includes Carranza. It is expected this question will be cleared up by inquiries now under way so that it may be definitely established that Huerta not only accepts intermediation with the United States, but laso with Carranza. Another outgrowth of the discussion was an intimation that both the Huerta and Carranza elements would send representatives to deal directly with the mediators and that Francisco de la Barra, now in Paris as ambassador for Huerta, probably would be designated to act for Huerta. Scope of the Mediation Proposals Washington.—The scope of mediation plans for the settlement of the Mexican crisis was suddenly broadened so as to include the entire range of Mexican affairs—not alone the cities and territory controlled by the United States and Huerta—but the whole of Mexico. The signal enlargement of the mediation program followed the receipt of a formal acceptance by General Carranza, chief of the constitutionalists of the principle of mediation as proposed by the ambassadors Already the United States and General Huerta have formally accepted the good offices of these South American envoys and now as a further step General Carranza has been brought into the deliberations so as to draw every element and faction within the range of any settlement which may be attained. The envoys conferred with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central and South America to lay before them what had been done and discuss the general situation. This emphasized what the mediators have been seeking—a purely American settlement of a crisis which effects the political integrity of all Spanish-America. The patriotic unity of all Mexico and all Spanish-America was expected to give a signal evidence to the world at large and particularly to Europe of what the American republics could do for the tranquility of the Western hemisphere at a time of supreme crisis. TULSA. OKLA. STAR CARRANZA BARS AN ARMISTICE REBEL CHIEF CONTINUES HIS MILITARY OPERATIONS WITH MEXICO CITY AS HIS GOAL PEACE DELEGATES TO BE NAMED American To Be Man Not Connected With the Government.—Francisco de la Barra Likely To Be Huerta's Choice. Washington.—It has become definitely established that General Carranza will not agree to the request of the mediators that he suspend operations against Huerta pending the mediation proceedings and the envoyes have been advised of this decision. Close associates of Carranza who have arrived here say no mediation between the rebels and Huerta is possible. Meanwhile the campaign against Huerta forces in the north is proceeding full force. The march on Mexico City, according to those near Carranza, is to be undertaken as soon as military operations in the north will permit. Carranza's refusal of an armistice is the first reply the mediators have received. On the other hand favorable comment is made in circles close to the envoys on the amicability Huerta has shown. The United States, the Huerta government and General Carranza are expected to name their delegate as requested by the mediators within the next day or two. The American delegate has not been selected, but it became known that it would not be an official closely identified with the government. As the three South American envoyes are accredited to the United States, this government does not wish to name a government official, but desires an outsider who would deal with them without reference to their official relations to the United States. To the names of John Bassett Moore, John Lind and Henry White, already mentioned, now are added Richard Olney, former secretary of state, and Hannis Taylor, former minister to Spain. The Huerta delegate is expected to be Francisco De La Barra, Mexican minister at Paris, but nothing definite has been heard from Mexico City. Rafael Zubran, personal representative of General Carranza, arrived here and is available as the Carranza delegate, although it is not yet definite that Carranza will name a delegate. Rock Island Bridge Washed Out. Geary, Okla.—Three men are reported missing and three others are refugees in treetops in the middle of the South Canadian river at Bridgeport, four miles south of here, as the result of floods which swept out the new $125,000 Rock Island steel bridge there at 5 o'clock Sunday night. Several hundred persons have been compelled to abandon their homes to seek safety on higher land. The lowlands along the stream are flooded for miles, enormous damage has been done to growing crops and wire communication is practically at a standstill. A wall of water fifteen feet high rushed down the valley at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. This was increased at 3 o'clock in the afternoon by a second rise of three feet, and the South Canadian was immediately converted into a roaring torrent a mile and a half wide. The Rock Island bridge resisted its force for two hours, when it gave way, plunging six men into the flood below. GEN. DANIEL SICKLES IS DEAD Was Last of the Union Commanders at Battle of Gettysburg. New York.—General Daniel Sickles died at his home here Sunday in his uinetieth year. General Daniel Edgar Sickles was the last of the great commanders who fought at the battle of Gettysburg. Before he was 32 years old, Major Sickles had served as secretary of legation at London under Minister James Buchanan; he had won a state senatorship through a bitter campaign and he was seated in the thirty-fifth congress at Washington. It was at this time that an event occurred which became the sensation of the day. Sickles had begun his second term as congressman in 1859. Then he shot and killed Francis B. Key, a lawyer, for intimacy with Mrs. Sickles. After her death of a broken heart, he became minister to Spain and married a Spanish woman, from whom he afterwards separated. His last years were embittered by bankruptcy and charges of financial irregularities. FEDERAL TROOPS RESTORE ORDER MINERS, MINE GUARDS AND THE MILITIAMEN STOP THEIR MURDEROUS WARFARE TEN DIE IN LAST DAY'S FIGHT Believed That Peace Can Be Permanently Established With State Troops Removed—Strikers Retain Their Weapons Denver, Colo.—With federal troops on the ground, conditions are quiet in the Colorado strike zone. State troops are being relieved by the regulars and the strikers are dispersing. The federal soldiers now are patrolling the Fremont county district and regular troops have superseded the militiamen at Walsenburg. The strikers have surrendered no arms, either to the militia or the federal troops. Leaders are going among the hills of southern Colorado urging the men to disperse and return to their homes, but according to John Lawson, international board member of the United Mine Workers of America, they have not been told to give up their weapons. The Last Day's Fighting Seven months industrial conflict terminated in a day of fighting which claimed a toll of at least ten human lives. This was the verified record divided as follows: At Forbes, seven mine guards and two strikers dead. At Walsenburg, one officer of the militia hospital corps killed, one officer and two enlisted men wounded. The Forbes camp was a scene of desolation, virtually all the mine buildings having been destroyed by fire. Here it was the work of only a few fleeting hours. It was about 5:30 a. m. when the strikers opened their attack in force. With the women and children of the camp barricaded in the mine slope, the guards responded spiritedly. About 10 o'clock the firing ceased and the camp's assailants disappeared as mysteriously as they came, some towards Trinidad and others over the hills in the direction of Berwind and Tabasco. According to Superintendent Nichols of the mine, three strikers were seen to tumble down the hillside. Fighting at Walsenburg between strikers, militia and mine guards lasted six hours. Major P. P. Lester of the hospital corps met death, shot through the left breast, while dressing the wounds of a comrade within 150 yards of the strikers' position. MOB THREATENS ROCKEFELLER Scene In the Colorado War Transferred to New York New York.—Threats of violence were made against John D. Rockefeller Jr., by demonstrators who declared that his policy had caused the Colorado mine war. A woman attempted to invade his office and when she was prevented, she withdrew with imprecations on her lips, repeating in a speech outside threats she had made within the building of personal harm that would come to him if he persisted in declining to consent to arbitration in the Colorado crisis. Mr. Rockefeller issued a statement characterizing as "infamous" any illusion to conditions in Colorado as "Rockefeller's war." The conflicts in Colorado were not between the militia and the strikers, he claimed. While Upton Sinclair, Miss Elizabeth Freeman, an English militant suffraget, and Mr. Donie Lietner, pioneers in the "free silence league movement" were being sentenced to the Tombs prison for picketing on the sidewalk, the march was kept up all day and the meetings were held in the Bowling Green at which speakers reiterated charges that Mr. Rockefeller was responsible for conditions in the Ludlow district. Mr. Rockefeller's statement quoted the lieutenant governor of Colorado in an effort to show that strikers themselves started the trouble by killing a non-union man. A demonstration was held in front of the West Fifty-fourth residences of John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller Jr. by men who claimed to represent the anti-military league of New York. They walked back and forth carrying placards bearing an inscription, "Thou Shalt Not Kill, either in Mexico or Colorado—if you want to fight, join the cause of labor against capitalism and help us and the Colorado mine workers who are being ruthlessly slaughtered." FEELS LIKE A NEW WOMAN As Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Dispelled Backache, Headaches and Dizziness. Piqua, Ohio.—"I would be very ungrateful if I failed to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound the praise it deserves, for I have taken it at different times and it always relieved me when other medicines failed, and when I hear a woman complain I always recommend it. Last winter I was attacked W. H. H. with a severe case of organic weakness. I had backache, pains in my hips and over my kidneys, headache, dizziness, lassitude, had no energy, limbs ached and I was always tired. I was hardly able to do my housework. I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on one other occasion, and it had helped me so I took it again and it has built me up, until now I feel like a new woman. You have my hearty consent to use my name and testimonial in any way and I hope it will benefit suffering women."—Mrs. ORPHA TURNER, 431 S. Wayne St., Piqua, Ohio.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.] LESSON FOR MAY 10 THE UNJUST STEWARD. LESSON TEXT--Luke 16:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT--"He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrightful also in much." Luke 16:10. Again in one chapter (and here only) we have before us two of the Master's more famous parables, the anjust steward and the rich man and Lazarus. Both are parables of warning against the common sins of hypocrisy and gluttony. Luke links this teaching with the events in connection with our Lord's teaching about the lost things. There is clearly a close connection. The parable of the lost things was spoken directly to the Pharisees and scribes, that now before us to the disciples. The failure of the Pharisees as stewards of the things of God, the divine law, calls from Jesus, for those gathered as his disciples, teaching that will prepare them to fulfil perfectly the stewardship responsibilities. The story is both positive and negative, is direct against covetousness, and its main purpose to us is how to use money, while we have it, so that it may bring us a recompense in the eternal world when it is gone (v. 9). 1. The Unrighteous Steward, vv. 1-3. Our Lord does not, of course, intend that this steward is to be our pattern in every respect. He is taking a "son of the world" (v. 8 R. V.) and showing us that, in the use of money entrusted to his care, he is making provision for the future. He is preparing himself against the time when his stewardship is taken from him. How much more shall a "son of the light" be shrewd, so to use the money entrusted to his stewardship, that when it is taken from him, he has provided for the future. The record does not imply that Jesus approved of the man's immoral actions. He is using the example of an uprighteous steward as a contrast to show how much more is to be expected from God or godly men, Luke 18:6, 7; 11:5-8; Matt. 12:11, 12. Recognizing these facts, the story is perfectly simple and straightforward. The dishonest "son of his age" has a wrong method, though his motive from this point of view is a wise and prudent one, clever in our modern use of that word. This does not condone his fraud, nor does our Lord commend him. The contrast is established in the parable between men wholly of their age, and men, professedly, at least, sons of light. In their dealings with eternal things they had not shown the same astuteness as the former. Luke 15 deals with the heartless contempt of the Pharisees for those who are lost, while the parables of this chapter deal with stewardship—faithfulness (I Cor. 5:2). II. The Use of Money, vs. 9-13. The value of this parable is in the actual teaching of Jesus which follows the parable. That is introductory, emphasizing the need for wisdom on the part of all stewards. After that we are on a higher level and in a clearer atmosphere. Unrighteous mammon means money, and to make friends "by means of the mammon of unrighteousness" (R. V.) is so to use our money for the godly poor as to win their love and that they may receive us into the eternal tabernacles to which they shall go, see Matt. 19:21; 25:33-40; 6:19; I Tim. 6:17-19; Prov. 19:17. As has been said, Jesus does not commend this steward for his wrong use of his master's money, but the steward of God has the right to bestow his Master's goods upon the needy, as that is the very reason they have been bestowed upon him—entrusted to his care. Matt. 24:45; I Pet. 4:10. Our entrance into the kingdom will be more abundant because of our liberality with God's money, Matt. 19:21. This does not preclude faith, but rather, real faith worketh by love, Gal. 5:6; James 2:18 (R. V.). If we are faithful with that entrusted to our stewardship, God will entrust us with "the true riches." Our earthy riches belong to another (v. 12 R. V.), and we cannot serve "two masters." This story moves within the realm of material wealth, e. g., of mammon. It illustrates the higher wisdom of how mammon is to be used by the stewards of the kingdom of God. Verses 15 and 16 of this chapter reveal to us our Lord's reason for such an illustration. It was directed against the covetous and false stewards, the Pharisees, who "scoffed at him because they were lovers of money." We are to use money so as to make friends, not friends for this present life, but for that life which lies beyond the grave. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Bettis academy at Trenton, S. C., has 500 students, who come from far and near. One-third of them walk, some coming five miles, and returning to their homes every night, gladly making these trips in order to get an education. The balance of the students are fed and lodged on the premises, and all hands must work, for here education has no frills. Without going into details, it may be said that intelligent industry is the applied purpose of the school, and thrift and economy is the characteristic of everybody about the place, from Mr. Nicholson and his wife down to the smallest kindergartner, who is beginning the act of intellectually and morally rising. Much more interesting than the school itself is the land buying and development which has been going on for a quarter of a century under the leadership of Mr. Nicholson. It should be said at the beginning that the land purchases were, and still are, made large on credit, in the case of each effort at expansion of ownership. Like all real credit in this case, it is based on confidence. Necessarily, this means confidence which responsible southern white men have in Mr. Nicholson, and the men who have become or wish to become land owners Traveling from farm to farm we examined some of the results of this land experiment within a radius of ten miles of Bettis academy. In this section colored men own and operate about fourteen thousand acres of land. In the main, this land was bought in considerable tracts, often by Mr. Nicholson assuming the original responsibility. Then it was divided to suit the buying capacity of the colored people who now own it. Along a stretch of country ten miles in extent the farms, with only an occasional holding by white men, are owned by negroes. Half of the 1,000 acres is paid for, and by the practise of economy and industry that would be a credit to any race. The reputation of this colored community is of the best. No reputable white man has anything but the highest praise for Mr. Nicholson and his land experiment. Crime is practically unknown among the men and women on these farms. White men of character rather seek to buy farms on the border of this settlement. By so doing they insure themselves against the undesirable citizens of both races, not hard to find in South Carolina. The output of motor cars in the United States in 1912 is estimated at between two hundred and fifty thousand and two hundred and eighty-five thousand. "For several months," L. A. Halbert, in charge of the board of welfare at the hospital at Kansas City, said, "the Provident Hospital for Negroes has been conducted by responsible negroes and a little disappointment has been felt by them because their hospital was not included in the list of charities indorsed by the welfare board. This came about because the Provident Hospital for Negroes and the Phyllis Wheatley hospital have been combined, so as to have only one negro hospital in the city. The name of the new hospital has not been selected. The new project represents a desirable development for negroes and should have liberal support from all people interested in the welfare of the negroes." It's a good plan for a man to say nothing and saw wood, but, of course, it isn't a woman's place to saw wood. The colored academic teachers at the Calhoun institute in Alabama are graduates of college or normal school, and are accomplished in the latest methods of the foremost classrooms. Most of these instructors are in the primary grades, because they can best sympathize with the children's habits of thought and standards of life, in many instances brought from the cabin, and are most patient in correcting the imperfect language of such pupils and in using pure English comprehensible to them. Under Calhoun's conditions the colored force is not only efficient, but also indispensable. The nurses, graduates of high-grade Northern hospitals, perform services in the community which a white woman would indeed be willing to give, but which the negroes could not bring themselves to accept, save from one of their own race. So with the care of the persons and habits of the children of the school, and the sanitation, cleansing and other intimate directions given in the negro homes. TULSA. OKLA. STAR The sixteen negro workers of Calhoun have proved themselves efficient and indispensable. Of the eight men employed six are colored. These six are in charge of the demonstration farm, the shops, buildings and repairs, and the life and work of the male pupils. There are five colored women teachers. There are two colored nurses for school and community. Three of the five directors of girls' industries are colored, as is the house mother. The list would be incomplete without the mention of the pastor of one of the best rural churches of the state, whose leading members are land owners, thanks to Calhoun. Though he is not in official relation with the school, his house is adjacent, he is often engaged for special service, and the religious part of the extension work is done with his help and counsel. The efficiency of these teachers and workers is attested by the reputation of the school, which so largely depends upon them, by the pure character and fine discipline of the student body, recruited mainly from the Black Belt, and whose organization for moral, religious and mental improvement is under this direction. A special indication of efficiency is the recent removal of any supervision over the colored directors of industries except the principal's general oversight, which encourages independence and initiative. At present the county superintendent of education, recognized as among the most progressive in the state, is introducing into the county schools, white and colored, the methods taught in the Calhoun shops. One of the fields of the demonstration farm has been pronounced the best in the state, and reports of government farm experts are full of approbations for results of special value to negro farmers to whom the school farm is the standard. The national convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People was held at the Lincoln Memorial temple, Washington, with the co-operation of the People's and Plymouth churches. The opening session was held April 15. Rev. D. J. Flynn of Charlotte, N.C., conducted devotional services. Sessions were held three times each day during the convention, which closed Sunday night, April 19. The officer are: A. W. Lawless, Louisiana, president; H. H. Proctor, Georgia, vice-president; H. S.

In a class of 108 pupils in a Brooklyn public school, according to the Crisis, two colored girls, the only colored pupils in the class, took the only prizes offered, a bronze medal for proficiency in spelling and a silver medal for excellent work in German. There is nothing spectacular about Tuskegee. It endeavors to train its students so that they will go out and engage in some industrial pursuit. While the school has received a large share of the money gifts of our philanthropic millionaires, this money cannot be said to have been wasted or used extravagantly. The work of Tuskegee in training negro youths and in increasing their earning capacity has been of great value to the South in dollars and cents. The Tuskegee teachers are up-to-date in their work and methods, and are a well-dressed, intelligent looking body of men and women. W. M.

A Great man is visiting Tulsa and every denomination should help to make his stay here as pleasant as possible. We need more business enterprises in Tulsa to employ Colored boys and girls. The Star would like to see every boy and girl with some profitable employment. A “Get Together” spirit among Col- ored men would bring the results. There is a big demand for rent houses in Tulsa. This city is without question the leading metropolis of the State, of the South- west, and the man who invests his money here may be likened to the gardener who sows the small mustard seeds. The afternoon half of the Tulsa World (The Evening Sun) never overlooks an opportunity to throw a fit about the “Nigger.” Judging from the frequent spasms thrown by this self important sheet the Negro porters of hotels and rooming houses in Tulsa should all be run out of town. And more than five hundred Negroes of Tulsa subscribe for this paper. Is it because they love to lick the hand that smites them? The members of the First Baptist Church as a special token of their appreciation of the Tulsa Star made a side donation of $4.00 to the editor at last Sunday's services. We desire in turn to thank the good pastor and members of that church for this kind expression. It is not the gift itself so much as the spirit of the giving that binds us in gratitude to the good people of that church Rey. T. J.

Chilliethe, Ohio.—"I am a native of the Southland," says Mrs. Ed. Davis, of this town, "and nothing pleases me more than to speak a word of praise for Cardui, the woman's tonic, for I firmly believe that it snatched me from the grave. Although I do not need it now, I always keep a supply on hand. I have been married 14 years, and had two children. After the youngest was born, I was not able to walk, and for four years, I was not strong enough to stand on my feet five minutes at the time, without something to support me. After everything else had failed, I wrote to the Ladies' Advisory Department, of the Chattanooga Medicine Co., for advice, and they kindly told me what I needed. I commenced taking the Cardul Home Treatment. I used only about four bottles of the Cardul, but, today, I am well, can do my own work, and walk as far as I want to. I can never praise Cardul enough, and my neighbors cannot get done wondering at the change in me." Cardul will surely do as much for you, as it did for the writer of the above letter, if you will only give it a trial. Don't delay. Begin taking Cardul today. Your druggist sells it—Adv. Capacity Too Limited. This story is credited to President Wilson: A certain little boy, invited to a party, returned home, looking decidedly downcast. "Didn't you have a good time?" he was asked.

"They told me to eat all the ice cream I wanted—and I couldn't." Cheerful Outlook. Lady (engaging a page boy)—Well, how soon can you come? Page (readily)—At once, mum. Lady—But surely your present mistress won't like that. Page (brightly)—Oh, yes, she will, mum! She'll be only too glad to get rid of me. Why Is This Thus?

HAPPY NOW Family of Twelve Drink Postum. "It certainly has been a blessing in our home" writes a young lady in regard to Postum. "I am one of a family of twelve, who, before using Postum, would make a healthy person uncomfortable by their complaining of headache, dizziness, sour stomach, etc., from drinking coffee. "For years mother suffered from palpitation of the heart, sick headache and bad stomach and at times would be taken violently ill. About a year ago she quit coffee and began Postum. "My brother was troubled with headache and dizziness all the time he drank coffee. All those troubles of my mother and brother have disappeared since Postum has taken the place of coffee. "A sister was ill nearly all her life with headache and heart trouble, and about all she cared for was coffee and tea. The doctors told her she must leave them alone, as medicine did her no permanent good. "She thought nothing would take the place of coffee until we induced her to try Postum. Now her troubles are all gone and she is a happy little woman enjoying life as people should." Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postum — must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum — is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum. —sold by Grocers TULSA. OKLA., STAR SCORES ARE LOST IN WEST VIRGINIA MINE DISASTER LITTLE HOPE ENTERTAINED FOR SAFETY OF 203 ENTOMBED WORKERS IN NEW RIVER COLLERIES. RESCUERS COMBAT FLAMES IN SHAFT Four Dead Recovered; Fifty-Nine Badly Burned Brought to Top. Three of the Four Shafts Demolished.—No Exit For the Imprisoned Men. Eccles, W. Va.—All hope for the rescue of 203 miners entombed by an explosion in mines Nos 5 and 6 of the New River Collieries Co. here, was abandoned. Rescuers are unable to force their way into the burning shafts. Four miners are known to be dead, fifty-nine were rescued, many of them severely burned and 203 others are entombed in two burning mines and are believed to have small chance for their lives as the result of an explosion of gas in mines Nos. 5 and 6 of the New River Collieries Co.. The dead and rescued men were taken from mine No. 6 and all but thirteen have been accounted for. One hundred and ninety of the entombed men are in shaft No. 5, not a man having escaped from this opening since the explosion. The mine burned fiercely with government, state and volunteer rescuers working desperately to subdue the flames. The depth of the two main shafts is six hundred feet and the mines are connected under ground. There are two other shafts into the mines, but the explosion totally wrecked three out of the four. The lone entrance leads into mine No. 6 and by means of it the rescues were made. No. 5 mine apparently is completely shut from the surface and rescuers hold little hope of reaching the large number of men in time to save them. The explosion occurred in mine No. 5. The two shafts of this mine were demolished. It is believed the explosion traveled through this mine into No. 6. Victims Badly Burned. For a time the crowd of frightened women and children at the tipples waited in suspense but soon the signal came to hoist away and the cage appeared. It bore two men badly hurt, a few of the rescue party and two bodies. Other trips were made as rapidly as possible and each time blackened and burned miners were brought to the surface until sixty-three men had been brought up, four of them dead. Of the bodies recovered, two are Americans, one a foreigner and the fourth a negro. A large portion of the miners employed are Americans. The New River Collieries ordered two carloads of coffins from Cincinnati. The present mine disaster is the first of considerable extent in West Virginia in several years. It probably is second only in fatalities to the Monongahela explosion in December, 1907, when 366 miners lost their lives. While the loss of life here will be heavy, there is a relief for families of victims that was not in force at the time of former disasters. The new workmen's compensation act provides $20 a month for widows and each of the surviving children not to exceed three is entitled to $5 a month. GROSS PRODUCTION TAXSUSTAINED Supreme Court Decision Assures Collection Back Coal Taxes. Oklahoma City. Payment to the state of approximately $500,000 in back taxes from coal mine operators is practically insured through an opinion handed down by the supreme court affirming the validity of various acts of the legislature, which impose a gross production tax on coal. The opinion is written by Justice F. E. Riddle on the appeal of the McAlerter-Edwards Coal Co. and about a dozen other big coal mining concerns, operating in the segregated Indian coal mining lands in the southeastern part of the state. The original proceedings were started in the superior court of Pittsburg county in 1909, when application was made by the coal operators for an order enjoining the collection of the tax. The application was denied and the case has been pending on appeal in the supreme court ever since. Sooner or later you will be wrong in every organ of your body.

Does your back ache night and day, making work a burden and rest impossible? Do you suffer stabbing, darting pains when stooping or lifting? Most bad backs are due to hidden trouble in the kidneys and if the kidney secretions are scant or too frequent of passage, proof of kidney trouble is complete.

Made by Van Vieet-Mansfield Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 POULTRY BROODER FOR LITTLE CHICKS Mother Hen Should Be Given Nice Light Place, Dry and Warm— Comfort Is Great Thing. The hen with early chicks is given the poorest chance in the world for caring for her brood. She is generally confined with the little ones for a few days in a coop with bars where they can run out and in. The coop is only a small thing, rather dismal and dark. She is hardly ever given a nice, well lighted place, dry and warm, and with chaff and straw on the floor where the chicks can scratch and work without freezing the life out of them. Some folks will say that the hen is always there to warm them up when they want warmth; but what would you think of an artificial system of brooding that would keep a close little hoover in reach of the chicks all the time, but without any warm place where the chicks might work and eat? Every year you see the old hens clucking around the place with the little brood with her, crying and cold, and begging the old brooder to stop. In early spring the weather is ```markdown ``` The Silkle, Called the "Nurse Maid" Hen of Japan, on Account of the Way She Mothers the Baby Pheasante—Large Exhibits Were Shown at the Recent Poultry Show in the Grand Palace, New York. very unpleasant for chicks. They are miserable in the chilly air and on the damp ground, and don't feel like working and following the old hen. A hen with chicks should have a little brooder house just the same as if she were an artificial brooder. The room where the chicks might work and scratch ought to be sunny and dry and warm. The old hen's company is not warmth to the chicks when they are out from under her; and they must be out from under her a great deal of the time if they are to make large thrifty birds. A little brooder house or large sunny coop with artificial heat in it will save many of your chicks this spring. SPADING UP FEEDING PLACES Practise Tends to Purify Ground and Encourages Exercise on Part of Fowls in Flock. On most farms feed for the flock is scattered about on the ground, and the chickens are continually fed within a small space. The surface of the ground soon becomes foul with the droppings of the flock. True, sunshine acts as a germicide, and if the space is at all sloping, the washing of the rain helps some, but generally the spot is level and often muddy. The ground quickly becomes contaminated with the continual tramping of the flock, and if there be one sick fowl the whole flock may soon become infected. This is especially true with small chickens and young turkeys. The spading up of the feeding place once or twice a week will bring good results. It will tend to purify the ground. It will induce exercise on the part of the flock, which is always desirable. Especially is this true when the flock is confined in yards, and green feed, so necessary, is difficult to obtain. If grain is scattered as one spades up the ground, much will be buried so deep that hens will not scratch it out and it will be thrown up at the next spading with green, succulent blades that are greatly relished by the flock. HAPPINESS FOR THE AGED Many Ways by Which Those About Them May Bring Pleasure Into Their Lives. A medical authority is of the opinion that the aged should receive from the physician and from the humanitarian a sympathy and support that will help and cheer them. The old man should be induced to improve his appearance. His sense of pride should be stimulated. Those around him should, without too great a departure from actual truth, tell him how young he looks. An effort should be made to keep his mind pleasantly employed. The tonic effect of a local happening, which engages the attention of the community, on the aged who are roused to a stronger interest in current affairs is often quite salutary. They thus have something to think about, to talk about. They are taken away from the past and again are in the living present. The aged woman rarely becomes as gloomy and depressed as the old man. She has a place in the activities of the household which can never be a part of a man's life. When through age a man's occupation is gone, it is difficult for him to adjust himself to the idleness that follows and to make that leisure a source of happiness rather than of unavailing regret. Young Reasoner. "Gilbert K. Chesterton has written a successful play," said a member of the Players' Club of New York. "You know how fat Chesterton is—fatter than Mr. Taft. Well, I'll tell you a story about that. "A London htterateur has a little son who sucks his thumb. The litterateur said to him one day: "Now, you must stop sucking your thumb. If you don't you'll swell up like a balloon and burst. Mind what I say! "The urchin was much impressed. He promised to do his best to break himself of his bad habit. "Well, it happened that Chesterton dined at the litterateur's that evening. With the dessert the little chap came in. He loked at Chesterton and started. He turned pale. Then he sidled up to the mountainous writer and said in a compassionate and yet reproachful voice: "You suck your thumb, don't you?" Not Quite Insolvent: Abraham Lincoln Carter appeared before the bar of justice in Staunton, Va., charged with stealing $7.50. Evidence was strong against him, but the young lawyer appointed by the judge to defend the prisoner put up a strong plea and Abraham was acquitted. A little later counsel and client met outside the court house. "I worked hard for you this morning, Abraham," said the lawyer, "and the court pays me very little. There is a big wood pile out behind my house and you had better work on it two or three days and pay your part." "Yes, suh," replied Abraham, "but couldn't I pay you in money 'stead o' work?" "Money? Where will you get any money, you rascal?" "Well, boss, I reckon I still got dat $7.50." Consistent Youngster. Little James is endowed with positive and determined parents, so comes naturally by his own tendency to obstinacy and persistence. Nevertheless, it was a distinct shock to his mother to receive the answer given her by the angelic-looking three-year-old last week. The said mother was endeavoring to persuade her young hopeful to perform an act of courtesy toward which he felt little inclined. She coaxed, scolded, reproved, threatened, all to no avail. At last she said, gently: "And won't James do this little thing to please mamma?" "No, he won't!" was the dogged answer. "When I say 'No,' I mean it!"

Washington was born at Hales Ford Post Office, Franklin County, Virginia, about 1856 or 7, at the age of nine he went to Kanawha, West Virginia, where he attended common school until 1872, and proceeded to Hampton Institute. His money was scanty, although he did not have enough to reach that place. When he got to Richmond he didn't have enough to pay for a night's lodging, so he took the next best shelter, under the side walk. The next morning he got a job in helping to unload a vessel, thus earning a sufficient sum with which to continue his journey to Hampton. Graduating in 1875 he taught a school at Malden, the lace of his birth. Afterward tha legislature at Alabama passed an ast establishing a normal school at Tuskegee, Alabama. The State Commissioners applied to General S. C. Armstrong's principal of Hampton institute to recommend some one for principal. He recommended Mr. Washington, who went at once to Alabama, and organized the school July 4th, 1881. The buildings then occupied were a church and a small dwelling house with thirty pupils and one teacher. Since that time of has made such wonderful progress that today the sight of the institution is a city within itself. Mr. Washington is a splendid example of grit and determination, and the history of his life is worthy the study of every colored youth in our land. Professor Washington in speaking of his experiences at Hampton says: "While at Hampton I resolved if God permitted me to finish the course of study I would enter the far south, the black belt of the Gulf States, and give my life in providing as best I could the same kind of chance for self-help for the youth of my race that I found waiting for me when I went to Hampton, and so in 1881 I left Hampton and went to Tuskegee and started the Normal and Industrial institution Professor Washington is in great demand as a speaker in all educational gatherings where from ten to fifteen of the cream of the educational workers of the nation listen to his addresses with rapt attention. Without question he is the greatest leader of his race and one of the great men of his age.
