That Barney Clea fire into the house of positive statement o The citizens of Tulsa and vicinity were startled early Monday morning by the report that Rowe had held up the night clerk at the Fountain Drug Store where he worked at the point of a gun and got away with $800.00 afterwards shooting and fatally wounding Ed Rice, who, with Deputy Cleaver, had gone out to intercept him. Posses were hastily organized and sent out in all directions looking for the alleged gunman and had he been found no doubt would have been killed outright as it had gone out that he was a dangerous man, heavily armed and would not be taken alive. Thus the career of a young negro who the newspapers had pictured as a desperado would have been ended and the newspapers would have heralded it to the world that a bad negro highwayman and murderer had met a richly deserved fate. But late developments in the case tends to show that Rowe has been the victim of a base conspiracy which may yet result in the death of an officer. It is claimed now that Rowe had frequently engaged in the games which were run in the basement of the drug store and time and time again had lost all of his earnings there. Sunday night or Monday morning, however, he won and continued to win until he had won all the money of the "house." He then went home, the story goes, and went to bed. This was between 2 and 3 o'clock a. m. About 4 o'clock Officers Rice and Cleaver, it was reported in The Sun, went to his home and demanded him to come out. This he refused to do and it is said the officers fired into the house and Rowe came out firing at the officers as he ran. Detective Rice fell shot through the abdomen and Rowe made his escape. The keepers of the gambling den had "framed up" to cry "hold up" and have Rowe arrested and frightened into returning the money. Accordingly they notified the police it is said that the negro porter took the money at the point of a six-shooter, and Detective Rice was detailed to make the arrest. Rice, it is supposed, solicited /the service of Deputy Barney Cleaver and went after Rowe with the results stated above. Barney Cleaver has always borne a splendid record as an of Vol. 2, No 30 ficer and those who know him best will hesitate to associate him with such a low, base conspiracy as was printed in the "Sun" on Wednesday evenin. That Barney Cleaver did not fire into the house of Rowe is the positive statement of Patrolman Jake Dillard, who says he heard every shot fired and rushing to the scene, met Deputy Cleaver, who told him that Rice was wounded. Cleaver started to call the ambulance but left this for Dillard to do while he and Officer Chandler continued to chase Rowe. Officer Rice was taken to the P. and S. hospital where he still remains with improved chances for his recovery. Chief Burns did everything in his power to capture the fugitive but to no avail. It was reported Monday about noon that a posse had Rowe surrounded about three miles south of the city and the editor of this paper himself mounted a horse and went to the scene. Arriving there he found five men, three officers and two citizens, and they had become weary of the task and soon returned to town in their auto. Rowe is still at large but his father has offered to find him and bring him to justice. If Rowe really won the money as it is rumored, then the parties who reported it to the police as a holdup are responsible for all of this trouble and should be severely dealt with. The latest report is that Rowe has offered to surrender to Chief Burns, but positively to no one else. Colored Girl In Custody of Police Elizabeth Anderson, a 14-year-old colored girl is being held by the police of this city, awaiting the action of Judge Clark, who seems puzzled as to what to do with her. The girl is said to be an inveterate morphine user and admits that she has been using it for two years. She was arrested Wednesday with Wm. Pringle and his wife, with whom she lived in a box car northeast of the city. The girl's arms is a solid mass of scars caused by using a hypodermic needle. As the state of Oklahoma has provided no reformatory for the wayward colored youths this girl will probably be sent to the state school for colored blind and orphan children at Taft where it is customary to send the criminally inclined boys and girls to associate with the other children there. SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY MAY 23 1914 To Subscribers A number of our subscribers have complained of not getting their paper, and we have therefore took the matter up with Post Masters at several towns in the State where such complaints have been issued, and better service has been promised. We are anxious for you to get your paper. You are entitled to it, and ought to have it. And we intend to do all we can to see that you get it. But we must have your cooperation. When you go to the Post Office after your mail be sure to ask for THE TULSA STAR. A great many people go to the General delivery window and never think to go to the paper window or ask the clerk for their papers. In this way they miss their papers and they accumulate in the Post Office. It is the duty of Post Masters to notify the publisher when his publication remains in the office for any reason, and to specify the reason, but few Post Masters in Oklahoma observe their duty in this respect. However, if you will go to the Post Office and as for THE TULSA STAR and it is not delivered to you and you will notify us of the fact we will see to it that matters are satisfactorily adjusted. EDITOR. New Bishops Elected St. Louis, May 20.—Two new bishops were elected by the general conference of the colored Methodist Episcopal church in quadrennial session here today. Rev. R. A. Carter presiding elder of the Atlanta district, and Rev. N. C. Cleaves of Columbia, S. C., were the men made bishops. Bishop Cleaves was elected from the pastorate, never having held office in the church. The two men will replace Bishop Stewart, who was retired. Rev. J. C. Martin of Memphis was elected treasurer of the church. Rev. A. R. Calhoun of Pine Bluff, Ark., was named general secretary of the Epworth League. The conference also created a board of education to assume supervision of the fourteen schools controlled by the church. Rev. J. A. Bray, former president of the Lane college at Jackson, Tenn., and Miles college at Birmingham, Ala., was chosen secretary of the college. NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING. Within a few weeks the National League of Negro Business Men will meet in Muskogee. Every man, woman and youth in the state stands ready to do his part to help make the meeting a success but the affair is sadly in need of publicity—the right kind of proper organization and proper publicity the Muskogee meeting would be a grand event. Some one, who knows how, should get busy. General Hospital Training School To Holds First Commencement Next Week WINNING OF A GIRL AT DICE BRINGS ON A GREAT RACE WAR Sixty-Four Negroes and Over 100 Indians Reported Dead in Guatamela. AMERICAN NEGRO WINS DAUGHTER OF INDIAN Refuses to Sell Her to Native—She Is Carved up by Unsuccessful Suitor—Negro Kills Three and War Opens. NEW ORLEANS, May 20. The United Fruit company today was using its wireless in an effort to confirm a strange story of a race riot reported by mall to have occurred on one of its plantations in Guatemala, in which, it is reported, sixty-four negroes and probably a hundred Indians were killed. Smouldering race hatred of the native Indians for negroes inflamed by one of the negroes, an American, winning the Indian girl Nazada, from her father at dice and his refusal to sell her back to a native is reported to be the cause of the trouble. The negro, Clarence Williams, had been working on the Teuahana farm, one of a long string of plantations the United Fruit company operates in the Montague river district. He had incurred the hatred of many of the Indians because of his prowess with the dice. In a game recently in which was Nazada's father, he won all the peon's money, and then in true Guatemalean fashion the old man wagered his daughter. He lost. As is customary among these Indians, the girl did not object to her part of the transaction and was taken to the shanty of the American negro. As the story goes, Christofo Zurello, a half-breed boss of a neighboring farm, had wanted Nazada for his son and was incensed when he learned that she had become the property of the negro. According to Guatemalean Indian custom the father of the girl was eliminated from the matter by his unsuccessful cast of the dice, so Zurello entered into negotiations with the negro. He offered him thirty pesos for the girl. The negro refused. Soon after Williams, left for his work, Saturday, May 9, three men appeared at the shanty. It is said they were Zurello, a peon named Pedro, and a halfbreed. Williams had occasion to go to the shanty a few hours later. Tied to a tree near-by was his Indian girl, horribly mutilated with knives. Just before she died she told him who had committed the crime. Arming himself Williams began a search for Zurello, found him and shot him to death. Then he killed Pedro and later the same day the halfbreed. All during the night there were fighting between the negroes and the Indians, all of whom, it seemed, had aligned themselves with other members of their race. Religious services were held in a little church as usual the next morning. When the Indians came from the church the negroes were enmassed nearby and opened fire on them. In this fight Williams and twelve of his followers were killed. Many Indians were slain. Fighting was kept up for many days, and, according to the story reaching here, the bodies of sixty-four negroes were found. Just how many Indians were killed probably will never be known, as they remove and hide their dead as quickly as possible.

In the exhibition arranged by Pro- fessor Starr there is the best collec- tion of books and printed matter re- lating to Liberta that has ever been brought together at one time. Besides the books written about the country by strangers and sclentific men travel- ing in the country, there are books and pamphlets printed in Liberia and _written by Liberians on the politics, government, history and religion of | their own country. There are files of | the principal Liberian newspapers and magazines, the Liberian Register, the | African League, Liberia Times, Liberia Recorder, the Guide and a missionary | paper, Liberia and West Africa.

At Epiphany hall there is a farm and cof. fee plantation connected with the school, and four hours of practical agriculture and horticulture are re quired.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Closely following the action of the senate in favor of a substantial ap propriation for continuing the work on the new Central high school build- ing, and for the purchase of a site for the new Eastern High school, comes the news that the work of con- structing a new high school building for colored pupils will probably be begun next fall, says the Washington Star. Congress last July having ap- propriated $15,000 toward the con- struction of this building, the author- {zed cost of which is to be $55,000, the announcement {s now made that the plans for the proposed structure are practically complete, The pressing need for a new build- ing for the colored high school is shown in the statement that the strue- ture now in use was built to accom modate 450 pupils; that its present enrollment is more than 800, and that Mbraries, study halls and other rooms have been pressed into service as classrooms, though designed for other purposes. The efficiency of this school has suffered somewhat for a long time because of its crowded con- dition. The plans for the new build- ing show a provision of space for 1,400 pupils, nearly double the present enrollment of the school, This appears to be looking well into the future, but the building will not be completed un- til the spring of 1916, and the school “population of Washington is increas- ing rapidly.

Hope ceme- tery, at Boston, last week, Mrs, Sarah Spence, who claimed to be one hun- dred and thirteen years old. At her grave were three daughters, all of whom were born in slavery, All of her 16 children were slaves. After the war they came North, one by one, and the mother herself came to Boston 14 years ago. Mrs, Spence was born in Camden. Her parents were slaves of a family named Barnett. Later she was sold to Col, Dennis Purby of North Carolina, for whom she wove cloth and made garments, Mrs. Furby and the slave did not get along well and the young girl ran away once a year for four years. She was sold to Timothy Smith and at his death she was car- ried into Tennessee, After the war she went back to North Carolina and worked on the Furby estate for pay, as did her children. Her first husband, Alida Purby, died before the war and she was married to Thomas Spence. The University of Southern Califor- nia has appealed to the Central Labor council of Los Angeles to ald in the work of making {ts course in trade unionism a success. There 1s an old and tenaciously held theory that the negro has a greater re- sistance to malaria than the white man. Recent investigaticas by public health service tend to throw doubt on this belief. Iu Alabama, during a three-year ‘period, the number of deaths from malaria was one and one-half times as great among colored persons as among | white. In Mississippi in 1918 2.8 times as many negroes as whites died of this group of diseases. Several thousand blood examinations were made to test the prevalence of malarial infection in the general population. In Arkansas, less than six per cent of the whites examined had the malarial organism in their blood, while 7.6 per cent of the negroes were so afllictod. In North Carolina the germ was found in 7.5 per cent of the whites and 11.5 per cent of the colored persons examined. In spite of these statistics the old opinion mry be correct. The investt: gation 1s still too incomplete to war rant any sweeping conclusions. Ma: laria is < sural diseaso, and the negro is a country @-veller. His environment is against hia In other ways. The bulk of the population sp the healthy uplands of Mississippi 1s white, but the negro clusters so thickly in the fertile but malarial cotton lands of the Yazoo delta and other parts of the “black belt” that the census of the state shows 1,009,487 colored persons to only 786,111 white. The question can be settled only by an exhaustive comparison of whites and blacks living in the same environ ment, under the same conditions. There {s a strong probability that such A test would support the old bellef that the negro resists malaria better than the. white man. A study of the situation in the Ne gro Baptist churches of Chicago strengthens the conviction that an effictent and unifying organization 1s really their greatest necessity. Their disposition to organize and the special needs of the city should eventually bring this about. At present we have improved upon the Methodist churches, They have five different conferences, but it must be said that in spite of this they co-operate in a friendly spirit. The Negro Baptists at the present time have two associations. Any time spent in efforts to explain the basis of their doctrinal or personal differ ences might better be used in trying to secure a real basis of co-operation for their mutual improvement and ad tance. It seems that some organiza: Ulon of these churches on the basis of the city work, to prevent overlapping, to over assistance, to plan future work as necessity may require and not as Individual caprice may suggest Is a matter of real importance. This organized co-operation to in- crease the efficiency of all the | churches is a natural step to be taken in the processes of their growth and may be looked for at any time. As one examines the location and the ac: Uvities of different Baptist churches, and sees new churches started under ‘the very eaves of gome older one, be | cause of a doctrinal or personal differ. ence, he is convinced that the weight /of influence of these who are trying to make the churches more useful should be set against this and in fa vor of that practical comity for which ‘the executive council stands, Sixty-seven theaters and music halls in London are licensed to sell liquor.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 24 UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS. LESSON TEXT-Luke 17:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT-"He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." I Cor. 1:31. This lesson is closely connected with that of last week; while spoken especially to his disciples it was most probably at the same time and in the same atmosphere as that of the other lesson. The teaching is a continuation of that just given and which grew out of the hospitality Jesus received in the Pharisee's house. The heart of Jesus was filled with compassion for the needy multitude. He, the Good Shepherd, was seeking the lost sheep. His anger was kindled against the men whose love of money and of show had calloused them in the presence of this multitude. It was in this spirit that he turned and taught his disciples. A Special Warning. I. "Take Heed to Yourselves," vv. 1.4. It is inevitable that occasion of stumbling shall come. Satan is not going to lose his spoil without putting forth his best endeavor to hold, to ensnare, to trap men. God, however, has taken this into his plan and makes them to work out for the good of his people, Ps. 76:10; II Cor. 12:7. Why does God permit evil in the world? He uses these stumbling blocks to test us and we who are approved are made manifest, I Cor. 11:10. This does not mean that we are guiltless if through one we fall, nor minimize the guilt of the one through whom they come, see Matt. 18:7. We as followers must go to the occasion to another, I Cor.8:9, 13; 10:32; Rom. 14:13. In this lesson (v. 2) Jesus sounds a special warning against those who cause one of his little ones to stumble, e. g., those weak in faith, this hungering multitude who follow him, these "babes in Christ," as well as children of tender years. Particularly, however, is this doom pronounced upon those who divert from paths of righteousness the course of childhood. Not only men who prey upon those of tender years, who exploit their labor or cause their moral corruption, but careless and indifferent parents should ponder these words. To hinder a child from accepting Christ or cause it to stumble through a sinful example will reap an awful retribution. The word "these" as here used is another indication of the nearness of childhood to our Lord in his earthly life. To avoid such a danger each individual life must "take heed" (v. 3), (I Tim, 5:16). Appealing to his disciples Jesus showed them their true attitude towards a sinning man was to rebuke him, Lev. 19:17, and if he repented he should be forgiven. It was here that the Pharisees and rulers had failed. They were "blind leaders of the blind" and failed to see the eagerness of the sinners and publicans to hear Jesus, a movement which indicated a desire to reach a higher moral plane. Understanding this, they would have forgiven them even though it to be unto "seven times in the day." Forgiveness here means to dismiss or to send away. Nothing Impossible II. "Increase Our Faith," vv. 5:10. Such a program as that just outlined must have staggered the apostles as they thought of their own inability so to conduct their lives. This exclamation reveals their sense of the importance, superiority and difficulty of his ideals. As we come into personal fellowship with our Lord that the eyes of our understanding are opened and we see our importance and the necessity of having him fulfil in us that which is lacking of his ideals. Their petition was a recognition of ability as well as of their need. In response to our cry he will supply, Mark 9:24-27. Nothing is impossible to him (v. 6), Phil. 4:13. The illustration is one easy to remember. The insignificant little seed of the mustard has in it tremendous power of growth and development, many thousand times its own weight and bulk, see Matt. 13:31, 32, because it is linked with God's tremendous laws of life, with omnipotence. Our Lord contrasts such power with the removal of a sycamore tree; small wonder we receive such a vivid and lasting lesson of the power of faith, even the weakest faith. Faith is a principle necessary to overcome the obstacles in the way of measuring up to his ideals if it is of the right quality, it is equal to the doing of the most mighty things. Passing from this contrast Jesus uses the parable which follows (vs. 7-10). Are Your Kidneys Weak? You may have kidney trouble and not know it. The only signs may be occasional twinges in the small of the back, constant lameness, dizzy spells or some annoying irregularity of the kidney action.

Sherman Texas UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE Probably Druggist Was of the Same Opinion as His Small Colored Errand Boy. A druggist, who had a little colored errand boy, fell into the habit of playing practical jokes on him. One day the druggist was mixing some combustible oils. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion, which hurled the chemist in one direction and the little darky in another, while the whole place burst forth into flames. After a time a black figure emerged from under a counter, whimpering and rubbing a rapidly growing bump on his head. He limped over to where the druggist sat, half-dazed, with a deep cut across his forehead. "You hadn't ougher play wid me dat-a-way, doctor," he said, reproachfully. "Dat shore ain't no way to play!"

TULSA, OKLA., STAR WESTERN CANADA'S PROSPECTS FOR 1914 Excellent Spring for Work and Wheat Seeding About Finished. The writer has just returned from an extensive trip through the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in Western Canada. The crop conditions are the very best, and no one locality seems to have an advantage over another in this respect. The uniformity in growth is remarkable, and in all parts of the three provinces spring wheat at the time of writing, May 10th, is well above the ground from two to three inches. Considerable fall plowing was done last year, and this, with the summer fallow, is already seeded, so that practically wheat seeding is over by this date. Everywhere the farmers are busy and the whole country presents one great scene of activity—three-horse, fourhorse and five-horse teams are busy preparing land for barley, oats and flax. On some of the larger farms batteries of steam and gasoline outfits are at work, but in a great many districts where these have been operated in the past they are being displaced by horses, owing no doubt partially to the difficulty of securing experienced men to operate them. Anyway, there is being put into agriculture in Western Canada, greater effort with more promise than for some years past. The soil is in the best possible condition; moisture has been sufficient, there have been no winds to dry out the soil, and if the farmers have had to lay up for a day or so now and again, it was merely that the ground might have the advantage of the rain and an occasional snow, which promise so much for the growing crop. With some warm weather the grain will come along in a manner that will equal the best years Western Canada has ever had. It must not be thought from this that the farmers are full bent on securing a grain crop alone. In nearly every district there is more and more the indication and inclination to go into mixed farming. Herds of cattle now dot the plains that up to the present had been fully given up to grain growing, hogs and sheep are in evidence. New buildings are to be seen on a great many places, these being pig houses and cow stables, although protection of cattle is not regularly required, excepting for calves and such cows as it may be necessary to house from time to time. The growing of alfalfa and other fodder grasses is an industry that is being rapidly developed. During this spring a splendid class of new settlers have gone in, many of them from the eastern states. These have seen what success the western and central states man has achieved in Western Canada, and are now going in in hundreds. The movement from Montana, Oregon and Washington to Canada continues without any abatement as to numbers and value of effects, while the central and eastern states are still sending an excellent class of farmers with means sufficient to begin farming on a scale that will pay from the start. Those who contemplate visiting the Panama Exposition next year will find that one of the most interesting trips they can make will be via the Canadian West. There will be three lines of railway they can use—the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific, all of which will have through to coast lines completed. Thus will be given a view of prairie, woodland and mountain scenery unexcelled in America.—Advertisement. Best Way to Open Boils. It is exceedingly painful to touch a boil, even when it is large enough to open. A correspondent writes that the best way to do this is to paint a ring or collodion, which can be purchased in any drug store, around it, being careful not to put any directly over the boil. As the alcohol evaporates the collodion in drying will exert a gentle but firm pressure all around the boil, not only opening it, but forcing out its contents, which should be absorbed by a perfectly clean handkerchief or piece of sterilized cotton.

In Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA 400,000 Settlers a Year Immigration figures show that the population of Canada increased during 1913, by the addition of 400,000 new settlers from the United States and Europe. Most of these have gone on farms in provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman, says: "The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely greater than those which exist in England, that it seems absurd to think that people should be impeded from coming to the country where they can most easily and certainly improve their position.

City. Washington.—Tampico's fall, en targing the constitutionalists sphere of control and giving them a seaport through which munitions of war may be directly imported has Injected into the Mexican situation new phases to oceupy the attention of official) Wash- ington, The last conference of the South American mediators and envoys nas been held, Interest centered on Tampico and the vigorous prosecution of the con- stitutionalist campaign southward, The American government already has begun representations to the con- stitutionalists to secure protection for American and other foreign opera- tors returning to the ofl wells and warships have gone up the Panuco river to their old stations before the town, At the mouth of the river are the federal gunboats with a part of the federal garrison, The captains of the ships have asked for an interview with Rear Admiral Mayo, which was granted, but its purpose has not been divulged. Diseussion centered chiefly on the question of shipping arms and ammu- nition through Tampico, The consti- tutionalists short of ammunition, are certain to avail themselves of cheir first seaport to import war vessels for the campaign against Mexico City. ‘The American government has never made a clear definition of its policy toward shipment of arms into Mexico from countries other than the United States. Arms were prevented from reaching Huerta through Vera Cruz because the customs house there was seized by the American forces as an act of reprisal, At Manzanillo and other west coast ports no effort has heen made to prevent arms from reaching Huerta and the belief was general here Thursday that the con- stitutionalists would have no diffi. culty in importing munitions through Tampico in any quantity. The presence of the Huerta gun- boats in Tampico harbor after evacua- tion by the federals has led to the conjecture that they will be used to blockade the port. It is believed that it is with the purpose of learning whether Admiral Mayo would re- spect such a blockade that the com- manders of the federal gunboats asked for a conference. Naval ex perts here agree that so long as the federal commanders are able to make this blockade really effective it must be respected by foreign shipping, The recognition of an effective block- ade by a belligerent, does not, it is said, interfere with political recog- nition of either party to the strife, Lighthouse Incident Closed The state department regards the Lobos Island Mghthouse incident as closed.

Mellen, of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad told before the interstate commerce commission one of the most amazing stories told in the history of high finance, Mr. Mellen, placed on the stand over the emphatic protest of Attorney General McReynolds, was a witness in the progeeding through which the interstate commerce commission by direction of the United States senate is endeavoring to develop the facts concerning the flnancial operations of the New Haven and its subsidiartes. He told how, in the acquisition of the New York, West Chester and Bos- ton railroad by the New Haven 8,000 fhaves of the stock of the latter was s‘ven for 24,000 shares of the West Chester stock, although, he said, he co idered the latter stock worth only “39 cents a pound.” MEDIATORS’ PLAN IS REJEGTED CONSTITUTIONALISTS SAY THEY WILL NOT COMPROMISE Peace Envoys Propose Plan For Elim ination of Present Regime and Substitution of Commission. Washington.—The plan for the paci- fication of Mexico now being worked out by the South American mediators and which it is announced would elim- inate Huerta and establish a provis- jonal government in which both the adherents of Huerta and the constt- tutionalists would be represented, will not be acceptable to the constitution: alists, or to the dictator, from latest reports from both factions, This, the first intimation as to the details of mediation plans, became known though neither the mediators nor state department officials would make any statement as to how nearly complete is the plan to be submitted to the American and the Mexican del- egates when they meet the South American envoys at Niagara Falls, Canada, It was learned that the proposal might be that the setting up of a tem: porary government be undertaken by a commission of five persons, two of them to be named by Huerta, two by the constitutionalists and the fifth by the mediators, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge d’af- faires of the American embassy at Mexico City, told President Wilson the story of what happened in the Mexican capital during the days {m- mediately preceding and follwing the occupation of Vera Cruz and gave him an Intimate picture of General Hu- erta, It was the first time Mr. O'Shaughnessy had seen the president since his arrival in Washington last week, He was at the White House for more than an hour and went away highly pleased with his reception. The charge advised the president that Huerta was stubborn and not apt to surrender his position as dictator easily, He expressed the opinion, however, that any government set up { Mexico which has the support of the United States will stand. After he left the White House Mr. O'Shaughnessy intimated that he be: Heved President Wilson had a broad and firm view of the Mexican ques: tion, He quickly disposed of reports that he believed he had been badly treated by the administration, It is understood that Mr, O'Shaugh. hessy’s account of General Huerta was such as to strengthen, {f possible, the president's determination to force the elimination of the Mexican dictator. He denied, however, that General Hu erta was the drunkard he has been painted in some quarters and he also told the president he had not believed the Tampico incident had been planned by Huerta to bring about trouble with the United Statesc. CABINET SEES RIFT IN WAR CLOUD Wilson's Official Family Breaks Coun. cil With Optimistic Views. Washington,—Expressions of conf- dence that mediation would avert war between the United States and Mex- ico were made by several members of the cabinet after President Wilson had discussed the whole situation with his offietal family. The President is decidedly hopeful. He is anxious that no untoward incl- dents or indiscret acts on the part of any of the forces in Mexico should de- velop to cloud the horizon when the mediation conference begins at Ni- agara Falls, Secretary Bryan in a conference ex- plained at length to the three South American mediators that the lght- house on Lobos Island had not been seized in any military sense; that the keepers were free to come and go, but that the American navy had un- dertaken to keep the lights burning 48 @ protection to the world’s naviga- tion, One tense phase of the situation has been relieved by news that J. R, Still- man, American vice consul at Saltillo, has begn ordered released by the Hu- erta government, Justice Lamar of the United States supreme court and Frederick Leh- mann, former solicitor-general, who have been named as the American representatives at the mediation con- ference, are studying data on Mexico and official reports and familiarizing themselves generally with the Mex- jean problem, Adjournment in July.

BLOTCHES COVERED LIMBS 19 Roach St., Atlanta, Ga—"A few months ago I had some kind of skin eruption that spread until my limbs and feet were covered with blotches and watery blisters. It looked like eczema. When the trouble reached my neck and face I was almost driven frantic. It itched and stung 80 in- tensely that I could not sleep or wear any clothing on the affected parts, Aft- er two months I commenced to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after two days I noticed improvement and in six days the trouble left. My skin was fair and smooth again and the eruption never returned. “My cousin was a sufferer from pim- ples, known as acne, on his face and seemed to grow worse all the time. I recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment to him and now his face is smooth for the first time in three years and he owes it all to Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed) Wal- ter Battle, Oct, 7, 1912, Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

Here comes a judge in our own state, trying the case of a man who entered his neighbor's garden and pinched a head of cabbage. The judge decides that it was not larceny of per sonal property at all, and hence not a basis of criminal action; but the cabbage heads are real estate, and that the neighbor's remedy is to bring a civil action contesting title. We have eaten garden truck—spinach and lettuce for instance—which tasted like real estate. But we never knew be fore that to steal it was not theft. And after a cabbage head is eaten what good is the title? Now, if it had been a franchise or an election that was stolen, it would have been less surpris- ing in the law to let the culprit go free; but who would ever have thought that the science of judicial hairsplit- ting would finally be successfully in voked to protest a plain, everyday cab bage thief?—Pittsburgh Press.

OKLAHOMAN STARTLES SENATE BY REMARKABLE SPEECH 0}: MEXICAN CRISIS. SENATE INDORSES PRES. POLICY Dictator Is Flayed As Cruel Assassin. America Should Not Stop Until Usurper Ie Deposed, Says Speaker. Washington.—Asserting that Presi- @ent Wilson was more than justified in refusing to recognize Huerta ss president of Mexico, and that the United States must not turn back until it has established constitutional government in that republic, Senator, Owen startled the senate with a re- markable denunciation of the Mexi- ean dictator. His speech was an in- ‘mate history of Huerta from the time he tore the reins of power from the hands of Madero to the present day, Through it ran the color of blood and its story reeked with mur- der, intrigue and violence where in- mocent men who talked too much went to silence behind priscn walls and Huerta by the force of arms and the impelling power of fear imposed his will upon 12,000,000 people. Recites History of Murders, Senator Owen told again the story of the fall of Porfirio Diaz, (the rise of Madero, and the plot of Huerta and Felix Diaz, Porfiro’s nephew, which led to the overthrow and death of Madero and put Huerta in the presi- dent’s chair. He recited the uprising of Carranza, on authority of the leg: islature of the state of Coahuila, and told how Senator Dominguez dared denounce Huerta to the Mexican sen: ate, declaring that Heurta had pact. fied the country by extermination. ‘The senator said that shortly after- ‘wards Dominguez disappeared and ‘was reported murdered. Then he told of attempts to secure an investigation of his death by the Mexican con- gress, and how Huerta put the con: gress in jail. “Whereupon,” he continued, “Hu erta by decree, declared himself in vested, in flagrant violation of the constitution, with legislative and ju dicial power, in effect, military dic tator of Mexico. Moreover he declar ed the constitutional guarantees of freedom from arrest for members o} congress abrogated; and having thus invested himself with the legislative and judicial powers of Mexico, he charged almost the entire Mexicar congress with sedition and treason.” Senator Owen dwelt at some length on the “election” held for president of Mexico on the 26th of October 1913. He said that while Huerta had announced he would not be a candi date, he had enlarged the powers o his military state governors, to cove! the election machinery, Four days before the election, the senator said despite formal assurances to the dip lomats in Mexico City that he wa: not a candidate, election posters were ent broadcast urging the people t vote for Huerta, Huerta sent instruc tions to his governors, said the sen ator, to return the votes favorable t him and not to return more than ¢ certain part of the precincts, thus in suring a void election. This program ‘he said, was carried out in every de tail, and the Mexican congress, discov ering that less than half the voting precincts had sent in returns, de clared the election void and expresse a desire that Huerta continue as pro visional president “Huerta,” he added dramatically “still is dictator.” CARRANZA TAKES TAMPICO PORT HUERTANS EVACUATE FOLLOW. ING BOMBARDMENT. Retreating Toward Capital By Trains, Loss of Lite Heavy In Final Assault. Washington.—Evacuation of Tam- Pico by the Mexican federal garrison has been accomplished, according to @ relayed wireless dispatch to the navy department from Rear Admiral Mayo. The federal troops left by the railroad, That the rebels encountered des- berate resistance in their final attack and that they were compelled to carry their fight to the heart of the town’ was indicated by Rear Admiral Mayo's re- port. He reported that when the reb- els occupied the city there was heavy rifle firing in the plaza and that big ‘gun firing continued. The federals retreated by way of the railroad leading to San Luis Po- tosi and it was assumed that they hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus of @ railway line that leads indirectly to Mexico City, The railroad out of Tampico to Monterey is held by the constututionalists, That the loss of life in the capture of this important seaport has been heavy is indicated by reports coming from the front daily since the last campaign against the city. Twenty field guns have poured shot and shel? into the city incessantly for days and have ‘been answered by an equal num- ber from the defenders. Two federal gunboats aided the city in shelling the attacking forces. It is believed hundreds, maybe thousands were slain in the final assault, the rifle fire in the plaza having been reported heavy as the federals made their last stand before entraining. The constitutionalists first attacked Tampico last December and fighting has been virtually continuous since. Twice they drove the federal garri- son into the town and seemed near victory only to be shelled by the gun- boats and forced to retire to the hills. No estimate of the losses on elther side ever has been officially obtained. The last reports of the federal fore es at Tampico indicated less than 2,000 but they were well supplied with ammunition and artillery. The pres: ence of the Mexican jgunboats re peatedly saved the city. MAAS SUPPLANTED BY GEN. PENA Huerta Puts Superior Commander In Charge Near Vera Cruz. Washington.—News reached Wash- ington through offictal sources that General Garcia Pena, one of the high- est ranking officers in the Mexican federal army, had taken command of the forces outside Vera Cruz, super- seding General Maas. | This news caused _ speculation around the state, war and navy de partments. Some officials were in- clined to attack special significance to the move seeing in it evidence of Hverta’s intention to strengthen his position around the port and possibly to assume an offensive attitude. On the other hand, it was suggested that General Maas conducted the cam- paign in such a mater as to dis- please Huerta, but it was declared this had nothing to do with the inter- national situation. In this connection ft was suggested that the force driven out of Tampico might undertake to march through the mountains and eWect a junction with the army between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, Some of those most fa- miliar with the situation, however, thought this highly improbable, as the railroad toward San Luis Potost over which the federals fled from Tampico, is in operation for only about 30 miles and the journey down the coast on foot would be impractio able.

Far Washington—Wwith the canal tolls exemption controversy nearing a vote sentiment in the senate is growing in favor of an effort to substitute for the pending bill a resolution which would Provide for the submission of the dis- pute between the United States and Great Britain to an international tri- bunal, Although senators who have discussed this proposal are not sure it will win, they claim many of their colleagues are willing to adopt this course, Senator O'Gorman, leader of the forces fighting repeal, will not con- sent to arbitration and the proposal undoubtedly will meet with vigorous opposition among the senators on both sides of the issue, It was point- | ed out, however, that before the house ‘passed the repeal bill President Wil- ‘son was willing that the question ‘should be settled by arbitration. Two republicans and one democrat added their voices to those who see in arbitration the best way out of the difficulty, Senator Sutherland made a vigorous speech on the exemption repeal bill, asserting that arbitration was the one way to settle the dispute, Senator Williams announced that he would gladly vote for it and’ Senator “Works agreed that this plan was de- sirable, A resolution providing for “submission to arbitration has been introduced by Senator Norris and may | come up for consideration before a vote on the repeal itself is demanded. __ On the republican side it developed that Senators Root and Lodge, as _well as others prominent in the fight for repeal, would favor arbitration. A two-thirds vote of the senate would be required to pass an arbitra: tion resolution.

For almost every day and in almost every newspaper you see where some child has committed atrocious deeds upon and against parents. And it has become alarming to that extent that the world is saying, what must we do to stop the many crimes? And this is one of the many ways that has been thought out. And we hope that the services in the several or many churches in these United States may bemoce a great insentive too cause this young and very sinful races to stop and reflect upon their ways. And the women are the greatest influence in the world, and if we can get you to take up the cross of Christ and exemplify the life of Mary, Martha, Sarah, Rebecca, Elizabeth and a host of other great and good women of the Bible, the signs of the times will change and each woman become the counsellor of their family so that the children will follow after the footsteps of a dear and good mother and wife, for saith the text, a mother in Isreal; subject, "Mother's Responsibility." Text 2nd Samuel 20th chapter and 19th verse. A Mother in Isreal: Why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord? The last clause in our text asks a very important question. Why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord? A Mother in Isreal is very significant. And Biblically speaking, it means a mother in right, a mother in protection, care and pains-taking. And I declare that in my opinion there is but one other name in the English language that is dearer and more noble to the family, and that's the name of Jesus; it's high over all in earth and sky, and angels and men before it fall and devils fear and fly. Read First Kings, 22nd and 52nd verse: And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his mother, which caused Isreal to sin. The mother can fill the chil's future life with good or bad, just as she desires. And as we think of the many good and great women of the past, we are the more puzzled to understand why the mothers of today do not exercise more care with their children. Think of Hannah, how she took her son to the house of the Lord, and how she prayed to the Lord that He would fill her son with the right spirit. And when the mothers shall have performed their whole duty, the children will reverence them. You may have seen as I have, a mother that seemingly felt that life was a burden rather than a pleasure, yet she had children, but they did not reverence nor fondle her, and if you were to look for the cause you would find that this mother failed to chastise these children. Yet you have seen mothers that were just as happy as could be, and if you look for the cause of her happiness you will find that this mother loved her children and she made them obey. Jesus Christ while hanging on the cross, looked and saw his mother's tears and said to John, behold my mother. And then he cried and said, Father forgive them, they know not what they do. O read between the lines, and the thought comes, these wicked people not alone take my life but, they cause my mother to have to have agony mingled with sorrow. Come, let's go back to our childhood days and stand on the old doorstep. Yes let's look into the old fireplace and see mother busy about the duties that made us so happy. Yes listen and you will almost hear mother singing that old song: "In the Morning When I Rise, Give Me Jesus and You May Have All This World." And you can remember when you last saw mother, her hair was white with the frost of many winters, and that sweet voice that used to be strong and sweet but now it's weak and trembling, and the steady steps that she used to make have become slow and faltery but it's mother's dear voice I hear and it's mother's toering [ Rev. Jas. S. Johnson. ] May 10. 1914. at 11 a. m.; frame; yet look and see how the plow of time has made great furrows in her once round and rudy and sweet face. And as we wear these white carnations we say that the memory of mother is as pure as the morning dew, and her voice was as sweet as the breath of flowers, and may I remind you that the world is depending on you mothers for the men and women to shape the destiny of this, our great Race. I want to ask you for a sign, every one that has a mother sleeping in some graveyard, let me see your hand; and every one whose mother is still living, let me see your hand But thank God, there will come a day that we shall meet our "hers where they can gather their children and sorrow and sighing will end and we then can praise God through vast eternity. There's no mortal that loves like a mother. For though her child may become a castaway, though he may be in rags and vocered in dirt and yet, filthy, mother will press him to her bosom and say: "This is my child." No wonder the poet wrote those beautiful lines: "Home, sweet home, there is no place like home." And said: "Mid pleasure and palaces, Though me may Rome, Be it ever so humble, There's no place like Home. A charm from the skys. Seems to hallow us there. Seems to shallow us there, Is ne'er met with elsewhere. Home, Home, sweet, sweet Home, There's no place like Home." And again I remind you that there isn't much pleasure in a home where mother's influence is not felt. And for a home to be what it should be the mother must have the spirit of God THE BOSTON EDITOR REV JAMES A. JOHNSON for her guard and her guild. And may God pour His spirit upon you so that each of you may weild a Christ-like spirit. While reading we found the follow- ing poem: "Mother." God made a home, where hearts might turn to rest When all other homes of earth had failed; God made a star whose light burned steadily When all the other lights grew dim and pale. God made a voice that the breadth of seas. The change of season or the flight of years, Could never silence, nor rob or power To reach to bless, to guide, to silence fears. God made a love that mapped our infancy And blessed us even when we knew it not— A love that knew no barrier, no self; A love that never faltered or forgot. This was God's gift, immortal, changeless, vast; Whose name he wrote, because he knew no other. Name sweeter, on our waking consciousness, In golden characters, that name was "Mother."

Rollison, W.P. Conscientious An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was laid in the state of Washington. He wished to have the story illustrated, and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, how ever, he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer, which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton, Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to make a wash drawing of a certain effective scene and forward it as soon as possible. By return mail the editor received an anxious reply from the youthful artist, saying: "I note that you wish me to use Shelton wash. I do not know of any such wash, nor do any of the dealers out here. If you can send me a tube I shall be glad to make the drawing."

Hamstead Heath may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamb. "One summer's evening," writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff taking, and with the firm resolution of never again taking a single pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the hill on which we stood, far among the furze and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb below, searching among the bushes; he looked up laughing, and saying, "What, you are come to look for your snuff box too!" "Oh, no," said I, taking a pinch out of a paper in my waistcoat pocket, I went for a halfpenny worth to the first shop that was open."—London Chronicle.

No one will know the full truth about the Rowe case until Rowe tells it. Let's wait till Rowe returns. A man's chance is all the Negro of America is asking; and he is less than a man who would deny him this. The managers of the picture shows in the East end should put the ban on this vulgar, boisterous class who have no respect for ladies. Some day this class of ruffians will cause serious trouble which might as well be averted. The Negroes of Tulsa pay the sum of $3,900.00 to The Tulsa World-Sun papers annually, probably more; and this paper never overlooks an opportunity to show their appreciation by open insults to the race. In the language of the immortal Shakespeare, "What fools ye mortals be." A new planet in the blazing solar system of Negro Journalism has reached our desk bearing the title head of "The Washington Sun," published at the national capital by J. Finley Wilson, et al. The paper is less than a month old but bids fair to become of a national character in a short while. We congratulate the publishers of this very creditable journal for the splendid showing made in so short a time and commend the business men of that city for the liberal support they are giving the paper. One of the best signs of any community's worth as to its citizenship, in fact the very best sign, is a well printed and home patronized newspaper. Taking the "Sun" as a criterion for the Negro citizenship of the nation's capital, from any point of view, the race in that city is keeping pace with the times. We wish the "Sun" long life and prosperity. The unfortunate shooting of Detective Ed Rice by Douglas Rowe Monday morning is regretted by all good citizens, black and white. That there was no occasion for the shooting no one can question. But this incident has convinced the outside world that the better class of the people of Tulsa, regardless of color are opposed to crime. The Negroes of this city who volunteered to go out with the posse to uphold the law and see that impartial justice was done set a precedent that should be followed by Negroes everywhere under such circumstances. Even the father of Rowe offered to assist the officers in bringing his boy to justice, but of course insisted that he be protected from mob violence. We do not believe the officers of this city would tolerate mob violence. They are all considered true, brave men, who are fearless in the performance of their duty. Certainly the better class of Tulsa's citizens, white and black, would oppose murder by a mob with the same patriotic spirit that they oppose murder or any other crime, by an individual. Rowe will be captured and brought to justice and there will be no mob violence. GOOD THINGS TO EAT We Cater to Particular People PETER J. When you come to Okmulgee, be snre to visit us.

The Harlow Brokerage store is noted for miles around for its remarkable cut price sales and with the exceptional opportunities offered in the sale now going on there it is doubtful that Mr. Harlow will be able to accommodate the crowds. Mr. Harlow has just bought at bankrupt sale two of the largest and most complete stocks in Kausas, one at Topeka and one at Atchison, both firms having failed after a short period of eight months. Mr. Harlow was the highest bidder and secured the stock at 40 cents on the dollar. This will allow him to put this high quality stock at such low prices that people of moderate means cannot afford to miss it. The quality of the goods sold at this store is high enough to please any fastidious aristocrat and the prices are low enough to satisfy any plebian. Those who have patronized this store will not overlook this golden opportunity and those who have not would do well to attend this sale.—Adv.

Councill is a self-made man, having only a few school advantages. He attended one of the first schools opened by kind northern friends, at Stevenson, Ala., in 1865. At this school he remained about three years and this is the basis of his education. He has been a close and earnest student since; often spending much of night in study. He accumulated quite an excellent library and the best books of the best masters are his constant companions, as well as a large supply of the best current literature. By private instruction and almost incessant study he gained a fair W. H. Councill was enrolling clerk of Alabama House of Representatives in 1872-4. He was appointed by President Grant receiver of the Land Office for the northern district of Alabama in 1875. He founded the A. and M. college at Huntsville in 1873. He being the only teacher with twelve ragged students appealed to the citizens of Alabama for aid, and was aided. Today A. and M. college stands as a star to the negroes of the South. Mr. Councill occupied high positions in church and other religious, temperance and charitable organizations. Prof. Councill has traveled a great deal in Europe and was warmly received and entertained by the Hon. W. E. Gladstone and His Majesty, King Leopold, of Belgium, (son of Queen Victoria) and thus by earnest toil, self-denial, hard study, he made himself one of America's most worthy negroes. Mr. Councill was a friend of Bishop Turner and raised thousands of dollars to aid him in the redemption and civilization of the Africans. Normal (the school which Prof. Councill founded) is educating native Africans for the purpose of aiding the heathern Africans. Prof. Councill is the author of "The Lamp of Wisdom" and wrote for the leading magazines of the country. His life was linked for twenty and five years with Miss Maria Weeden (one of whom graduated from Norman.) To whom four children were born. Mr. Councill died April 17, 1907, after a brief illness. His death was mourned by the majority of the negroes of the South. P. S. Over one hundred and fifty thousand Negroes have graduated from Normal (under Prof. Council) in the last quarter of century.

An American contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What, then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed. MISS INEZ E. PARKER. (High School Contest) Miss Parker was born free, but she was born of parents who were once slaves, and are still poor and humble workers for their daily bread. The father, a native Georgian, the mother, a native Missourian. Miss Parker's parents were unable to give her enlarged opportunities for education; but she attended the public schools. After having the advantage of som instructions by private teachers, and at last graduated from the High School department of the public school of her native town. She had instructoins in music and she is today blessed with wonderful musical talents, and Dr. J. W. McClure of Sedalia, says that unaided she learod French so as to both speak and write it, and that she is a fair Latin scholar and has such skill as an trtist that some paintings of her's have received favorable notice from capable critics. She is said to be a omnivorous reader, and in this way has acquired large information, liberal views and a lively interest in all that concerns mankind, especially the people of her own race. Living with her parents in the house in which she was born, she devoted her time to study, literary work and occasional teaching. This is confirmed by the act that the former slave-holding families now residing in Rolla have her interest at heart and show her marked kindness, some of them employing her to teach elocution and music in their families. She has written quite a great deal for her age, and much of her work has appeared from time to time in prominent journals and magazines. Her poem called "Hope" won the prize offered by a Chicago magazine in which it wsa afterwards published, and that of from thirty to forty contestants all but her were white. Another very interesting piece written in dialect "Honey Chile" was published in a St. Louis paper and created a stir in literary circles. "When Daddy Plays de Banjo" was published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and it was nonticed editorally in a most complimentary manner. If Miss Parker has the good fortune to be able to make the most of her powers, she is destined to attain to rare distinction in the literary world. ELLA GRIFFIN The attention of the Department of Agriculture has been called to the very unsatisfactory condition of a large part of the cotton seed which has been reserved for planting in Oklahoma and in parts of Texas and Arkansas. Weather conditions during a large part of the picking season were unfavorable and a large percentage of this seed has been injured in vitality. Unless germination tests are made on all seed to be used for planting purposes it is believed that many unsatisfactory stands will result. The attention of the department has also been called to the fact that Now my dear frends and readers the time is at hand we should look foreward to a higher and better standing in life. Now a few weeks ago the Whites lynched one of our women, now dear readers you know in some parts of the world that even if one of our men look at one of the white women they are ready to burn him. Not only burn him, they will burn our men like burning trash. Now I am not writting this to all women, but to them that has degraded themselves to the command of the white man. now women and girls as well, stand up and be a woman. Be noble, be generous and be true to the race. If the women would only stand up and live the life of a noble woman, there would be better living for both man and woman, but as long as they stay in the ditch the men are bound to follow. Now we were rightly named when we were called the fallen race of Adam. Ever since the fall of Adam we have been falling. I wonder where we will land, or is there a landing, I rather think there is not. I think that some of us will go down to rinn and degradation like the Titanic. Now let us take the matter to God, the most high king He is able to overcome all week's uess Let us pray to him to deliver us out of the hands of satan. I do pray the time will come when every woman of our race will stand up and say that "I will be a woman and a noble woman."
