"A Square Deal for All" M. J. McNulty, Jr., for Commissioner No. 2 A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Evangelist Preacher Arrested for Assault VOL. 6 Evange Man Who Says He Has Converted Over 800,000 People in 7 Years Must Stand Trial NEXT Tuesday Many Leave Church in Disgust When Preacher Forcibly Puts Mrs. Mills Out. According to a story told by William Cherry, 311 North Greenwood, and others, about the rankest outrage ever perpetrated against the womanhood of Tulsa was committed at the A. M. E. church Thursday night, when Rev. L. S. McDuffie, New York evangelist, who is conducting a revival here for Rev. Tucker, snatched a chair from under Mrs. Laura Mills and forcibly ejected her from the church because she did not hold her hand up long enough to suit his whims when he commanded all Christians to hold up their hands. Dr. Bridgewater, it is said, approached the evangelist and vouchered for the woman as being a Christian lady, but was told by his pious sanctimonious highness to sit down while he continued to unceremoniously eject the woman. Many people become disgusted left the church and told the story to passersby and friends. In a short while the news had spread all over the east end and there was some talk of taking the preacher out, giving him a flogging and giving him the outloud train schedule, but cooler heads prevailed and no violence was done. The preacher was arrested late Thursday night on complaint of Mrs. Mills who swore to information against the evangelist in both the police and Justice court for assault. The case was set for yesterday but was not called. Defending his acts at the church last night the preacher said he has traveled all over the world and no one ever objected to his rule until he came to Tulsa. The case will be heard Tuesday before Judge Lee Daniel. WOMAN ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE Hattie McRuffin Kills Dora Hill in Fight Over "Shortstop." Another tragedy was added to Tulsa's long crime list Tuesday night, when Hattie McRuffin, wife of John McRuffin, shot and killed Dora Hill on North Greenwood near the Economy Drug store. The women met and quarrelled, it is said, over the affections of one "Shortstop" with whom the dead woman is alleged to have been living. The McRuffin woman pulled a revolver and fired four or five times, but only one of the bullets took effect, passing through her heart, causing instant death. After the shooting the victim ran into the drug store, where she was hastily examined by Dr. Bryant, who pronounced her dead in a few minutes. Both women were well known in the underworld circles. The McRuffin was freed at the preliminary trial before Justice Lee Daniel Friday. Methodist Episcopal Conference Coming.

WEEKLY MAIL EDITION Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918 MUSKEE YOUTH ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE DIFFICULTY FOUND IN OBTAINING JURY COMPOSED OF MEN FREE FROM RACE PREJUDICE SUFFICIENTLY TO GIVE BOY A FAIR TRIAL. Muskogee, Okla., March 6.—At last a jury has been obtained in the Jones murder case and the trial hac actually begun. All day Monday and Tuesday the lawyers in the case examined the jurors in an effort to ascertain their qualifications to serve in the case, but an entire panel was exhausted before a jury was finally obtained. Nearly all of the jurors were excused when they answered the question: "Can you give this defendant the same fair trial that you would give a white man?" because they invariably answered "no." This is an index to a state of deplorable conditions existing in a country which is championing the cause of democracy in Europe. The Phoenix, the republican daily newspaper here, has done and is still doing everything possible to stir up feeling against the Jones boy, but so far no visible evidence of unusual feelings has been noticed. The defense is being represented by Col. Maten Rutherford, W. J. Crump, Francis Stewart and Thos. W. Lehea. Assisting County Attorney W. W. Cotton are his assistant, R. S. Jackson, Pat Goven and W. P. McGinnis, district U. S. attorney. The jury, the majority of whom are farmers, follows: Newt Riley, Webbers Falls, farer; Don Rosenbaun, Perum, farmer; W. H. Bray, Warner, merchant; John Petty, Warner, farmer; J. C. Van Brunt, Oktaha, farmer; Mack Hicks, Council Hill, engineer for oil company; Frank Gonzales, Braggs, farmer; S. J. Marlow, Muskogee, city fireman; C. L. Hanan, Muskogee, manager Halverson Barber Supply Co.; Arch V. Rushing, Fort Gibson, merchant; Carl Gibson, Porum, farmer; Wm. Morgan, Webbers Falls, farmer. Twine Saves Life of Towery Boy WM. TOWERY, SENTENCED TO DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR, WILL FNOW SERVE TEN YEAR SENTENCE. The case of Wm. Towery, who, with his brother, was convicted for the murder of a white farmer near Eufaula two years ago and sentenced to death in the electric chair, has been finally disposed of and the condemned man will now be a free man if he lives upon him last week when his lawyer, W. H. Levine of Muskogee, succeeded in getting a new trial granted where to serve a ten years sentence imposed upon he had his client's former plea set aside and entered a plea of guilty of manslaughter. This case has been fought from start to finish by lawyer Twine without compensation, he even paying his own railroad fare to McAlester and to Oklahoma City, where the case was argued in the supreme court, and a new trial obtained. The other convicted Towery boy was electrocuted more than a year ago. Still another brother lives in Tulsa and is a prominent worker in one of the churches here. 4-Year Old Chind Burned to Death. Mayetta Brooks, 4-year-old child of Richard and Fannie Brooks, was burned to death at 420 Eston Wednesday morning. The mother was out of the city and the father at work. It was buried Thursday afternoon from the Home Undertaking Co. 1930 JOHN L. WISENER Wisner Picked for Winner Wisner Picked for Winner Sentiment Among Leading Colored People of Muskogee Favors Ex-Sheriff for Mayor. MUSKOGEE, Okla., March 7. The approaching mayoralty race in this city is the leading topic among the politicians and is of no small concern to the citizenry as a whole. A number of heads are looming up on the political horizon, but so far as the colored people here are concerned, there is only one with a chance, a real sure enough chance to win, and that one is John L. Wiener, the democratic candidate for the office. If Mr. Wisener is nominated, as he doubtless will be, there will be no way to forestall his election because there are very few colored people in Muskogee who know the ex-sheriff that would not vote for him. He is a high-class man who has built up an enviable reputation for a square deal policy, and the people of Muskogee, white and black who love official honesty, integrity and square dealing, will vote for him. Mr. Wisener was for three times sheriff of Muskogee and has a wide acquaintance throughout the county. "I am running for the office because I think I can bring about some much-needed reforms or improvements for Muskogee," said the ex-sheriff. "I do not need the salary the office pays. I can easily get along without it, but I want to see Muskogee get all she is entitled to." Mr. Wisener is a well-known figure among the leading oil men of the state.

Republicans Make 2nd Attempt to Jim Crow Race Republicans Make 2nd Attempt to Jim Crow Race Louisville, Ky., Feb. 25.—The second separate street car bill to be introduced i n the Republican City Council in the last month was sprung Tuesday night, Feb. 18, in the Board of Aldermen by R. S. Hill, who is in the organ-making business. When a similar bill was introduced by W. H. Zeiser about a month ago, Colored Louisville thought it had received its greatest shock, for never in the history of the country has an incident been found where such measures were introduced by Republicans. But it received a great shock this week when it learned Hill had proposed a more drastic measure. But Colored Louisville is resigned now and nothing the Republicans do will surprise it. This separate car business is becoming hononotonous and seems to be a month's affair. That such proposals and suggestions are bound to cause trouble, cannot be denied even though harmful, the powers that be assert such a bill will never become a law. GOVERNMENT CONTROL HAS NOT KILLED JIM CROW SERVICE Washington, D. C. — Although the government is now in control of the railroads, and the federal statute forbidding discrimination against soldiers in uniform is still the law of the land, colored soldiers continue to be segregated in jim crow cars throughout the south. The appeal of the National Negro Academy made to the president the day the railroads passed under government control, has not as yet secured relief from jim crow cars. Why not Subscribe Now? JUDGMENT. A figure that is added wrong Will spoil the sum so deeply sought; A false note in the sweetest song May mar the eestacy it wrought; A chance step in a spotless life Will blot the future, down the wind The sum, the song with sweetness rife Is but our record left behind. March 5. Eva A. Jessie. RACE MEN INVADE RICH MINERAL FIELD RIED COMPANY ONLY COLORED CONCERN IN MIAMI FIELD. The W. C. Ried Investment company of Muskogee, headed by W. Curtis Ried, a wealthy race man of that place, has recently purchased a lease on 200 acres of the richest land in the famous lead and zinc fields of Oklahoma, just two miles from the biggest and best producing mine in the Miami field. Mr. Ried, who is yet a young man, being barely 30 years old, is planning big things for himself and his race and this is one of them. Six years ago he was married to Miss Sallie Hodge of Muskogee, who is a native with wealthy oil lands from which they are now realizing about $3000 per month. They have about 1300 acres of land, more than 1000 of which is under cultivation. The Rieds have two children Ve'ma, 4 years old, and baby Jack four months old. Associated with Mr Ried is G. H. Ambrose, who is well known through the state. Muskogee Dentist is Inventor NEW INVENTION WILL REVO LUTIONIZE RUBBER TIRE IN DUSTRY. Muskogee, Okla., March 8.—Dr. L. M. Banks, dentist, of this city, has obtained from the U. S. patent office a patent on an invention which is eds- tined to revolutionize the rubber tire industry of the world. It is a punctureless tire for autos, made of alloid sheet metal and rubber. A number of the big manufacturing concerns have written Dr. Banks making him offers. The Eagle Mfg. Co. of Cincinnati wrote him this week offering a bonus of $3000 and a 5 per cent royalty. Dr. Banks refused. Assault deals to Governor Tennessee Rev. W. S. Ellington Pleads for "A Man's Chance for Members of His Race. At the state capitol Wednesday the following appeal was made to Governor Rye by the Rev. W. S. Ellington, colored, representing a delegation of 250 members of the Negro race who called at the state capitol to offer protest against lynching: "Governor Rye, we, the representatives of the colored citizens of the commonwealth of Tennessee, have come to ask you, as the chief executive of the state, to use your good graces and the strong arm of the law to protect us from mob violence. The frequency with which the lynching and burning of Negroes occurs in our state is alarming. We do not condone crime; we have no excuse to offer nor defense to make for the criminals among us. What we want is that white men, when they violate the law of the state, shall be ferreted out and punished for their crimes as black men are when they are guilty of breaking the law. We want the dignity and majesty of the law upheld by example as well as by precept. There should be no discrimination in meting out justice to criminals. "Mob violence destroys the ends for which it is intended. We want every man, white and black alike, who is accused of crime, given a fair and impartial trial before a jury of his peers. We love the South; we were born and reared here. Our families and all that we have are here. Here we must solve our problems and work out our destiny. And we need the help and encouragement of our white friends. "Governor Rye, you know that we have no voice in making, nor in enforcing the laws which we are called upon to obey. Yet we love law and order and are teaching our people everywhere to live at peace with their white neighbors, and to make themselves worthy of American citizenship. Thousands of our young men are even nof in the training camps, preparing to go to the trenches in France, there to fight and die that the world may be made safe for democracy. We are asking protection from mob violence while our young men follow the flag by the side of your sons to the front, and there, by their heroism and valor, make it impossible for Prussianism ever again to disturb the tranquillity of our prosperity here at home, or molest our commerce upon the high seas. We ask no special favors for our fidelity and patriotism. We only ask for that protection which is vouchsafed to every American citizen by the constitution of the United States. "We are not foreigners and strangers. We are American citizens and we want to be treated as such. We came to these shores before the Pilgrim fathers. They came over in the Mayflower in 1620 and landed on Plymouth Rock; but a shipload of our ancestors was brought to these shores in 1619 against their will and sold to the planters of Virginia. Since then we have helped your race fell the forest, to tunnel the mountains and to bridge the rivers. We love the civic and religious institutions of America and especially of the South. All we ask is that the privilege of life, prosperity and the pursuits of happiness be not denied us, because of our race, nor because of our previous condition of servitude. Leave the door of hope open; give us a man's chance. This is all we ask." THE TULSA STAR THE TULSA STAR Ainted weekly by the Tulsa Star Printing and Publishing Co. at 115 N Greenwood. Entered as second class mail matter at the Tulsa, Okla., post office. SWAT THE REPUBLICAN BUNCH" will be the slogan of the boys on the 10th in the April election; and swat 'em they will. THE CITY HALL BUNCH must have an unlimited supply of nerve (though extremely poor judgment) to go before the people of Tulsa for re-election. Of course, they are expecting to ride in again on the "black vote" horse, but they will find it most difficult for their best riders to even get mounted in this race. A WOMAN SHOT to death by another woman on one of the busiest streets of Tulsa! That is what happened on Greenwood Tuesday night. Hattie McRuffin, a woman of the underworld, fired the fatal shot and Dora Hill, a notorious character of the same class, was the victim. These crimes are becoming far too common in Tulsa and the better class of people are demanding better conditions under which to live. The killing, of course, was deplorable and adds to the dark side of the reputation Tulsa now bears all over the country for law violation. Less than a month ago a brother killed brother and this was added to a long list of homicides accredited to us here and flashed across the country as news. And so it continues, and the people of Tulsa, the best as well as the rest, are suffering because of the reputation thus being made. We can do nothing to undo any of the murders and other crimes already committed, but there is much we can do to lower the percentage of crime by bettering our social conditions. It is a notorious fact that we are too careless in our social life. We admit into our homes and our churches people whose daily habits brand them the social leopards of the community and extend to them the hand of welcome and entertain them and allow them to entertain us on common grounds of social equality. We open our doors to the libertine and to women of easy virtue with the same grace and respect that we are wont to welcome a person of real dignity and respectability. It is all right to reach down in the gutter to pull a fellow out who wants out and is putting forth efforts of his own to get out, but it is a waste of time and a useless loss of self-respect to wallow there with the fellow. These are the things that hurt us most as a race. By all means there should be a line—a big heavy line—between the classes. We know there are good respectable people here as well as we know there are those of the lower element, but socially there is no set line of demarkation. Good women cannot associate with bad women without losing the respect they should have from the general public even if they do not lose their own self-respect by the association. The same rule applies with equal force to men. Getting back to the cause of our subject, it is said that the principals in Tuesday night's tragedy were both members of some of the ladies' social clubs and the dead woman was a member of our leading churches and during her lifetime occupied a front pew in the church every Sunday and lived in open adultery with a man across the street in front of the church. Her daily associates were people of the underworld and her habits were as open and as publis as the newspapers, and yet apparently none of the church members knew of her wayward life, or knowing it attempted to have her publicly or privately reprimanded by church officials or removed from the church roll for the good of the church and the woman herself. These are conditions that must be remedied before we can hope to better our environments and lower the percentage of crimes in Tulsa. This is the first of a series of editorials The Star will publish against social conditions, and we serve notice now that none will be too high or too low to recieve just and honest criticism in these columns. A REVIVAL—an old-time revival—is being conducted at the A. M. E. church by a shouting evangelist from New York, and so far he has been drawing the crowds, and therefore has been afforded a splendid opportunity to do some real good for his people. But has he done it? It is one thing to scream and shout and prance about all over the house in frantic appeals to the emotions of the people (and about the easiest thing in the world to do is to stir up the religious or superstitious emotions of colored people), and quite another thing to instruct them in a calm, sensible way how to live and improve their conditions. Without referring to the ability of the evangelist or attempting to detract from him any of the laurels with which he crowns himself, we venture the assertion that although he may add many to the church, his visit to Tulsa will be in vain, so far as the material uplift of our people is concerned unless he changes his tactics, stops appealing to their emotions and feeds them more on food that appeals to common sense. In other words, as a race we have always had a plenty, if not too much, emotionalism and not enough rationalism. There is no doubt that the good man means well, but we question his methods if his purpose is to elevate and enlighten the masses. If it is his purpose to bring men and women of the world to Christ then we fail to see and appreciate the wisdom of his custom of sending those out of the church who do not feel inclined to follow his beckoning to the "mourner's bench." If there is any place on earth where one should feel free and welcome it is in the church, and no man should take upon himself the ezarist responsibility of ordering from God's house of worship any person who may be interested enough to go there. It is not God's plan to drive men to salvation, nor does He deny them the right to their own free thought and action. Neither can we understand why Rev. McDuffie should usurp so much authority unto himself. Every man is free to exercise perfect liberty in thought and action and the church is the one sanctuary where we all feel a divine right to go and remain as long as we wish. When this right is violated, as it is being done by Rev. McDuffie, men and women are driven not only from the church, but from Christ, and thus from the salvation that might otherwise be theirs. Furthermore, when a man is thus insulted he leaves that church probably never to return and not only is his friendship for the church lost and the financial support that goes with it, but also the chance of winning him for Christ. For these reasons, if for no other, no one should be driven from the church. The kind of preaching our people need most from our gospel ministers is that kind that teaches them how to live and improve their environments, how to better social conditions and enlarge on commercial and industrial opportunities now at hand, as well as to point out the spiritual or scriptural way for our guidance. In this particular Rev. Tucker has proved himself equal to the occasion and in many ways has made himself felt as a power for good. He has a strong following because he has recognized the freedom of other men in their own thought and actions and has strived to improve the social conditions among his people. This is particularly what we need here in Tulsa and it would be well for any minister coming here to acquaint himself with these conditions. We do not wish to be harshly unfair with the evangelist, but we are emphatically of the opinion that his method of preaching will result in no permanent good to our people. And to send people from the church because they do not care to go to the "mourners' bench," to be threatened with an eternity of hell fire because they are not "in the church," to say the least, is a step too far. We are living in an age far removed from ignorance and superstition, and when one comes to us who boasts of his ability intellectually, of his ANOTHER R FOR TULSA. of to death by another woman on one oak that is what happened on Greenwood Toll of the underworld, fired the fatal shot of the same class, was the victim, common in Tulsa and the better class of us under which to live.

THE TULSA STAR FEED THE POOR SHEEP AND STOP FLEECING THEM Since actions speak louder than words, the Master's statement. "Feed my sheep," has been changed by these hirelings to read "Fleece my sheep"—get the sheckels. Since the Good Shepherd has been away the larger per cent of these under-shepherds have busied themselves building creed pens and each herding in all the sheep he can and, in order to make a good show to the world, goats are freely driven in with the sheep and there keeps himself busy fleecing sheep and milking goats—the sheckels must come, it being the important issue. These unfaithful servants have prevented the masses of God's sheep from feeding in God's green pasture of truth, and the few that manage to break out of these creed pens or those that could not be driven in are hated by these unfaithful servants. But, alas! What are the poor sheep being fed? Nothing but the musty provender of the dark ages—join my denomination (creed pen), pay your church dues (be fleeced), and go straight to heaven when you die, or do otherwise and go to hell—an eternity of torture. Another very popular food is emotionalism and this one of the specially concocted dishes of the devil, and which is certainly used unsparingly among the colored people. When things seem to be a little quiet and the sheep begin to do a little serious thinking, the devil behind the curtain dishes up some more emotion and passed it to the crowd through these ignorant or unfaithful servants. Most of us are possibly aware of occasions where a preached would set his whole simply by dramatically squalling loud congregation in an uproar of shouting and groaning long. I don't mean to say that all emotions are of the devil, but I do mean to say that all demonstrations of feeling not based upon rationality is of the evil one. You very often hear some one say, "Oh, I heard a great sermon," but put them close to tell you what they heard and they can tell little or nothing—I wish to suggest, dear friends, that the devil and his host of fallen angels, which kept their first estate, are specialists on tickling feeling, and, if necessom out of a church-house and jump sary, they will make one, kick the bot- WHEN YOU DIE==?

Office; 202=4 Woods Bldg. through the ceiling hollering, "Amen Glory to God," if by so doing they can prevent sober thinking in search for truth. Beware of religious emotion for which you can give little or no explanation. The greater the emotion the less the rationality. As an example of some of the many concoctions of the devil to arouse the emotion, on one occasion the preacher preaches brither so and so straight to heaven, dresses him in a long white robe, crown on his head, golden slippers on his feet, harp in his mouth and gives him free access to an inexhaustible supply of milk and honey; on another occasion a rankenser dies, and, of course, by intimation, if not by actual words, he is sent below to be tormented throughout eternity by fireproof devils; and on still another occasion this same preached gives his congregation a picture of the resurrection day, and here he pictures Gabe blowing his horn, graves bursting, dead, great and small, rising, etc. Now on all three of these occasions the emotions were greatly aroused; but let us see how much reason or truth is at the bottom of it all. Are we to understand that the fellow in heaven must undress and come down and the fellow below must be relieved and come up to re-enter the tomb to be resurrected in the last day? Friends, think for a moment. To be reasonable one must conclude that there is either no going straight to heaven or hell (eternity of torture) at death or there is no resurrection of the dead. The Bible abounds from Genesis to Revelation with positive assurances that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust. Under-shepherds, what are you feeding God's sheep? Are you feeding the rich provender of God's great plan of selecting a little flock during this gospel age and afterward through them (the little flock) bring blessing to all the families of the earth? Or are you feeding the musty provender of the dark ages and concoctions of emotionalism calculated only to keep them together and bring in the sheckels? Under-shepherds be warned. It is a serious matter to undertake the feeding of God's sheep. Every earnest-hearted individual or minister agrees with me when I say there will be some fearful judgments rendered when the Good Shepherd appears and notes the THE HOME OF THE MAYOR hundreds of creed pens with the unaffaithful servants ever busy fleecing the poor sheep and milking old goats (getting the sheckels).
