RECOGNIZING COLORED WOMEN A Fearless Exponent of Right and Justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. NO 21 RECOO NO 21 RECOGNIZING COLORED WOMEN'S WORTH Two Colored women have made such good records as overseas servi- taries of Y. M. C. A., that the complete unit is soon to be sent over for canteen service. The Paris office has specially requested this unit and they are being selected by Dr. Jesse E. Moorland Colored secretary in Washington. Only women represent the very highest types of the Negro Race, and ones particularly fitted for this branch of service will be chosen. The first Colored woman to sail wearing the "Y" uniform was Mrs. Helen Curtis, 208 W. 13th St., New York in May last year. For a number of years she had been a member of the Committee of Management for the Colored Women's Branch of the Y. M. C. A, and she had assisted at the Camp Upton Hostess House. Her late husband, James L. Curtis, was Minister Resident and Consul. General for the United States to Liberia. Mrs. Curtis lived in Monrovia, Liberia, until her husband's death there. She had also lived in France, where she studied domestic art for two years. She speaks French fluently. Mrs. Curtis's appointment proved such a success that onother Colored secretary was sent over the following month, Mrs. Addie Hunton, 575 Greene Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Her husband was for many years before his death, Senior Secretary of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. Colored Men's Department, and Mrs. Hunton's work had always been with the Y. M. C. A. She did preliminary organization of student and city organizations among her own people for the National Board; just before her overseas appointment, she was promoting work among Colored girls in Greater New York, being employed by the War Council of the Y. M. C. A. Her education had been excellent. For three semisters she studied in the University of Strassburg, and took graduate courses in English and in political science at New York City College. Dr. Moorland has a report from a returned secretary telling what real, splendid work these Colored women have done. "They made the first ice-cream and cake the troops had had, and the men were very enthusiastic about them." WEDDING BELLS Early, on a calm morning in January, a rumor came afloat, in the City of Boley that wedding bells were ringing silently. Not long had this been said before the invitations found way to the many friends, and thus substantiated Dame Rumor. Therefore the matter that started small became noisy. Invitations were issued by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Robinson giving in marriage their daughter Miss Estella O. to Prof. Orrin Bacon of San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 30, 1919, the whole affair, culminating at 5 o'clock p. m. at Grants Chapel, A. M. E. church. The alter had been decorated tastially with pink and white, potted plants used as a background. The edifice was filled from front to back and as the dial was passing the hour of 5 the attention of the audience was attracted by the entrance of four little flower-girls gowned in white over pink, carrying baskets of flowers strewing the pathway for the bride. Following close behind came Mrs. Annie Guest, a war-bride, piloting the way, as Miss E. O. Robinson on the arm of her father came with slow steps to soft strains of a Sweedish wedding march, executed by Mrs. F. B. Jones, meeting at the alter Prof. O. Bacon accompanied by Prof. T. M. White, one of Boleys efficient High School teachers, and a life long friend to the groom. It was the Rev. J. S. Daw THE TULSA STAR TULSA OKLAHOMA. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 15 1919. THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY The above cut is that of Mrs. Daisy J. Scott, one of our popular ladies who recently fell heir to an estate left by her aunt, Mrs. Josephene Hurst who recently died at Little Rock, Arkansas. The property is quite valuable, being worth fully $10,000. Mrs. Scott has just returned home from Little Rock, where she attended the funeral of her aunt. Mrs. Scott is an expert Milliner and Seamstress, and returned to look after the large trade she had built up here among our people. son, pastor in charge of Grant Chapel that read the impressive ceremony, mingled with softened music that made them man and wife. Presiding Elder H. O. Johnson and the Rev. McGee being present at the alter. All vocations made up the congregation. Even Mayor Turner was in full view. Lieut. Ralph E. Johnson and Lieut. John Marriott both commissioned officers, had entered the city in time to be present with other comrades. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the bridal party and guests repaired to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. Robinson, for the reception. On arrival of the bridal party Mr. Lotus M. Jones took up the strain of the Wedding march and thereafter dispersed music during the evening. The bride was becomingly gowned in a creation of white crepe de chene and Georgette crepe, tunic style and train, the only trimming being tiny pearls around neck and sleeves and a rope of mother-of-pearl beads hanging below the waist line. The handsome veil was attached to a crown of orange blossome and fell the entire length of the train fastened with bunches of orange blossoms here and there. She carried a small prayer book in her hands, on which lay twelve white and pink carnations, tied with long streamers of love knots made of white and pink satin ribbon. The entire costume was conspicuous for its simplicity and handsomeness. The groom was attired in the conventional style wearing a white carnation. The color scheme was pink and white, and right well was it carried out. The parlor was artistically decorated in pink and white, but the dining room beggars description. Only the bride's cake was on the table which was square mounted with a dove perched on a liberty bell holding two tiny finger rings in its mouth. The dining table was covered with a battenburg cover underlaid with pink. The four corners draped with Weekly Mail Edition pink and white streamers held by pink and white flowers. On the way to the dining room, punch was served by Mrs. A. Hampton. The bride and groom was hostess and host of honor in the dining room from 5:30 to 7:30 p. m. The guests all standing was served from time to time with pink and white brick ice cream and various cakes with frostings and toppings carrying out the color scheme. As the guests departed_ from the dining room each was given a small white box tied with pink ribbon, containing a piece of cake for the bride and groom. The affair was one of the nicest that has ever been seen in Boley, and will long be remembered by those who witnessed it. Thus Miss E. O. Robinson has changed single happiness for double blessedness. MUSCKQGEE REGISTRARS REFUSE TO REGISTER COLORED WOMEN ;; SHRDLUFU__SHRD Race Men Will Enjoin Bond Issue. MUSKOGEE, Okla., Feb. 13.—The Colored people of this city are indignant over the action of precinct registrars here last week, who failed to do their duty according to law in registering qualified voters for the special bond election called for this city. One registrar, John Doyle, resigned it is said, rather than register Colored women. His successor avoided the Colored women by circulating the report that he had left the city on business when, as a matter of fact he was at his home registering white women and white men entitled to registration. Some few Colored women, perhaps half a dozen, were registered over the phone, but the registrar would not give his name. This outrage has not been practiced on Colored women anywhere else in the state and as a just retaliation some of the leaders are making preparations to enjoin the city from holding the election or if the election is held, from issuing the bonds. REV. JONES CONDUCTS TEN DAYS' BUSINESS REVIVAL. Progressive Race Preacher Springs New Role in Church Work. MUSKOGEE, Okla., Feb. 13.—Rev. S. S. Jones, pastor of the Antioch Baptist church of this city and of the First Baptist church at Okmulkee, has launched a new idea in church work in this city and no doubt in the state. Beginning last Sunday at the former named chuchle in this city a ten days' business revival was started with a view to encourage and inspiring race enterprises. In other words Rev. Jones has started a campaign of real race progress. Himself a devout race man he has conceived this idea of arousing race pride for the bletment of all race enterprises. Each night during the revival some Colored business man has been selected to talk about some particular line of business. Those selected for the ten nights and who have or will talk are as follows: W. C. Reid, S. E. Edwards, Brown and Stewart, T. J. Elliott, N. Fuller, M. C. Simmons, E. N. Guilony, Dr. W. H. Sims, Dr. L. S. Wilson, pharmaeist and J. W. Adams. TULSA TO HAVE LARGEST COLORED HOTEL IN COUNTRY The largest and best equipped Colored hotel in the southwest is to be the Stradford hotel in this city which will be finished and ready for occupancy about April 1st. The building is a three-story brick structure with 67 rooms and is located on the corner of Greenwood and Cameron, two doors from the A. M. E. church. This finished Mr. Stradford plans to put in an electric park for the amusement of the Colored people of Tulsa. COLORED BARRISTERS OBJECT TO USE OF WORD "NIGGER" Okmulgee Lawyers Petition Courts of That County to Prohibit Use of Objectionable Term. The Colored lawyers f Okmulgee last month took a progressive and commendable step when they filed with all the courts of that county a protest against the custom of white lawyers there using the word "nigger" in judicial proceedings in making reference in court to Colored people as witnesses, litigants or defendants at bar, and petitioning the courts of that county to make a rule against the same. The petition says in part: "We are convinced that the use of the word is highly objectionable, of defensive and prejudicial for the following reasons: (1) In Webster's Unabridged Dictionary the term "nigger" is defined as follows: 'a negro in vulgar derision or depreciation.' It follows, therefore, that the use thereof casts unmerrited aspersion upon a class of citizens who have never faltered in their allegiance, devotion to their flag and nation, and in every crisis have responded to the call of duty and sacrifice with unflinching courage, unflagging zeal, unyielding fortitude and unsurpassing valor. The unchallenged and unrebuked use of this term in the courts—the very pillars of the government—pollutes the fountain of justice that should be free from any taint of bias." Three reasons are given for objecting to the use of the obnoxious word and prootes the Criminal Court of Appeals in the case of Mooreland vs. State, 151 Pac, 1183: "Race prejudice has no more sanction at the bar than on the bench," and in the opinion this Court quotes with ap- proval the following expression of the Supreme Court of Alabama, 48 Southern Pac. 662: "It is the duty of the court to see that the defendant is tried according to the law and the evidence tree from any appeal to prejudice or other improper motive, and this duty is emphasized when a Colored man is placed upon trial before a jury of white men." A copy of the petition was also sent to the secretary of the white Bar Association. None of the courts concerned have as yet taken any action on the petition, but according a statement made by one of the Colored lawyers there recently, the filing of the petition has brought good results. The Judges presiding over the Ok. mulgee courts are: Hons. Mark L. Bozarth and Lucian B. Wright, judges of the District Court; R. S. Simpson, Judge of the Superior court and Riley Cleveland, Judge of the County Court. WILL HELP COLORED SOLDIERS GET WORK It has come to the attention of Mrs. Hallie Golay, secretary of the home service department of the Red Cross, that there are a great many unemployed Colored soldiers in the city. Two offices have been established for the benefit of the men, one in the Red Wing hotel and the other at 107 North Greenwood street in charge E. G. Howard and O. W. Gurley. Calls for Colored help at either of the addresses given will be appreciated by the home service department which is expected to render all possible aid to the men who have been in the service, regardless of color.

VOLUME 7 MEN "THE IRON TEST" Manager Brown of the Dreamland Theatre has chosen for his Spring Serial Picture, "The Iron Test," that is described as Victagraph's latest and greatest photoplay serial. Antonio Moreno and Carol Holloway are the featured start of this newest thriller, which is from the pen of Albert Smith and Cyrus Townsend Brady. Mr. Brown announces that the Iron Test will start at the Dreamland Theatre on Sundays for Fifteen weeks. He says that he has seen the A major portion of the Iron Test, and he believes it to be the most thrilling story of Romance and Adventure which he has seen on the screen. To begin with, the story has for its background a circus and the big Mountains of the West, which assures plenty of action, thrill and fine photography. Some of the thrills noted by Mr. Brown, he relates as follows: "In the First Episode, Antonio Moreno leaps through a blazing hoop to a flying trapeze, and in doing so his clothes are caught afire. He falls to the ground in flames. In the Third Episode, Moreno and Miss Holloway, performing on a high trapeze are plunged downward from the top of the Big Tent, when a knife inserted by a villian cuts the trapeze rope. Later on Carol Holloway is attacked by a raging Lion. Still further on Mr. Moreno has a battle in mid-air while he is driving an airplane. He loses control of his machine and leaps from a great height to the Sea." In another Episode, Miss Holloway performs one of the most wonderful riding feats ever seen, when racing along a perilous precipice mountain trail she cuts the ropes binding Moreno to a wild horse and saves him from being plunged to destruction over the cliff." "These are only a few of the many thrills I remember," Said Mr. Brown but they are a fair sample of what the patrons may expect." NEWBY NEWS Mr. Sandford Taylor died Sunday February 2, and was buried Monday at Sand Creek Cemetary. The 11 year old daughter of Mr. J. Armstrong, died Wednesday, February 5, and was Buried Thursday.
