Hubbar ADMINISTRATION NOMINAT
Character of Mayor Hubbard Vindicated By Good Substantial Vote in Tuesday's Election.
The primary campaign is over, and as predicted by the Star, Mayor Hubbard and his entire administration received the democratic nomination defeating the Hopkins ticket more than two to one. This was a decided victory for the administration and a public exoneration of the many unfair and groundless charges brought against the Mayor and Commissioners by those who opposed them.
It was also a meritus slap in the face of petty politicians who, when they realize that they have no sound issues to submit to the public, seek
Mayor, Charles H. Hubbard
to cater to the prejudices of the rabid minded by flaunting the flag of race prejudice with the Colored man as the ever ready issue. The tatics employed by the opposition to the administration in the primary campaign demonstrated that the political arena is not cleared of this class of politicians, but the decisive results as distinctly spoken by the voters of Tula leaves no doubt that this style of campaign is not popular with Tulaa people, who have grown sick and tired of having our city vilified and the characters of our best citizens besmirched every time a city election is called. It shows too, that the majority of the people of Tulaa believe in every man, regardless of race, color or creed, having a square deal—the policy the present administration has followed. Another thing the results clearly sets out, is the fact that the Colored people of Tulaa are potent factors in both the leading political parties.
For instance, in precinct 23—all Colored voters and where the election officers are all Colored—the candidate for Mayor on the democratic ticket received 176 votes, while the candidate for mayor on the republican ticket received 121 votes. Of course nothing like all the registered votes for either party were polled in Tuesday's election, but the results give a fair idea as to the position of the Colored people of Tulsa in politics. In precincts 1, 3 and 10 the Colored vote was also a strong factor for both parties.
Probably the Colored people in no other city in the country are so happily diversified in politics. The reason for this is obvious. The white democrats of this city, as a whole, have manifested a desire to deal fairly with the Colored man and in so doing have made many
friends among the Colored people. This has been true of every democratic administration, while on the other hand the white republicans have failed to make well of the apparent advantage they have always presumed to have over democrats where the Colored vote was to be considered.
Never will the Colored people of Tulsa forget the last republican administration, and as long as they remember it, it is logical to assume that they will always be found a potent factor in the democratic ranks.

NOTABLE WEDDINGS
OCCUR AT MUSKOGEE
The Elliott and Adams Families Acquire A Couple of Sons-in-Law
(Star News Service).
MUSKOGEE, Mar. 19.—The usual serenity of Muskogee social circles was very pleasingly disturbed by a number of matrimonial events. The weddings, on account of the prominence of the families attracted wide attention. The first occurred last Thursday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Elliott on South Second street and the contracting parties were Miss Delilah Bailey, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Bailey, and Mr. Louis Peyton, one of Muskogee's best known young business men. Quite a large number of relatives and friends were present and showered the newly weds with gifts and best wishes for a long and happy married life. Mr. Ned Elliott is one of the firm of the large Elliott Clothing store, and Mrs. Ned Elliott is a daughter of the late and universally beloved and admired, Mrs. Eliza Bailey. Mr. and Mrs. Peyton left for Texas after the ceremony.
The other wedding took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Adams on South Twenty-fourth St., and the chief participants were the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adams, Miss Jessie Adams and Mr. Nelson Dean, one of the owners of Dean's Park and Addition, located in South West Muskogee. A large number of the young and older friends of the bride, groom and the Adams family were on hand to join in wishing the young couple bon voyage over the matrimonial seas. Delightful r. freshments were served after the nuptial ceremony.
NEGRO LITERACY STARTLES
MISSISSIPPI SOLONS
Representative Whitworth Declares
Witin Five Years Nine Out
of Ten Colored Women
Will be Able to Vote.
(A. N. P. Service).
CHICAGO, Mar. 19.—The Boston Globe says editorially.:
"The white people of Mississippi have sighted a new peril. They are becoming alarmed at the spread of book learning among the Colored people.
A. J. Whitworth of the Mississippi House of Representatives which rejected the Susan B. Anthony amendment is spreading the news. According to him, within five years, nine out of every ten, Mississippi Colored women will be able to read well enough to comply with the law which says that voters must also be readers.
Considering the difficulty of teaching any illiterate adult to read and the somewhat casual nature of popular education in many parts of the South, it is possible that Mr. Whitworth has made an over-statement. But his remarks are a reminder of the real nature of government in states where African blood flows in the veins of the majority. In such cases the government is, speaking frankly, white demination, maintained with the help of "Jim Crow" laws. Elections always result in gratifying victories for the Democratic, which is also the white party.
In time a majority of the Color- red people are sure to find their way to an elementary education. When they do their disfranchisement will no longer be simple—Boston Globe
SCHOOL TEACHER RAISES
ROUGH HOUSE IN LO-
CAL ELKS LODGE
Professor Says He Was Treated
Rough By Elks—Will Sue
For Damages
That Prof. J. M. Burr, teacher in one of the Colored schools of this city, is not worthy to become a member of the Colored Elks lodge, and that under no circumstances would he be accepted as a member in the local order, because of his conduct last Tuesday night while he was being initiated, was the statement made to a Star representative Wednesday by C. E. Corbett, Exalted Ruler of the order here.
According to Mr. Corbett's statement, J. M. Burr was one among some twenty-eight who, had applied for membership in the local order and had reported Tuesday night for initiation. He was in the act of "riding the goat" when he suddenly objected to the methods of initiation and began to apply vile epithets to the initiators and for emphasis, according to the Exalted Ruler, used language that would startle the chief denizens of the under-world crowd. Not only did he use his mouth verbally to abuse them, but when one of the brother Elks carelessly placed his hand in close proximity to the professor's mouth, the latter, it is said brought his teeth together on one of the fellow's fingers and but for obstruction offered by the bone would have bitten it off. Mr. Corbett said the applicant was under the influence of strong drink and that because of his unbecoming conduct his application was refunded to him and a committee was appointed to call on Supt. Oberholtzer to protest against his further retention in the city schools. J. E. Hardy, secretary of the lodge refused to divulge the personnel of the committee.
When questioned concerning the incident, Mr. Burr emphatically denied that he was under the influence of liquor. "I have not seen a drop of whiskey since I came to Tulsa," he said. He did not deny that he objected to the methods the Elks employed to initiate him, however, but said he did not use any vile language. According to Burr's statement, six or seven men, lead by a certain heavy weight prize fighter attacked him and proceeded to "rough it up" for him and in the scrimmage that followed, he was severely abused to the extent that it was necessary for him to have the care of a physician the next day. He exhibited a bandaged arm and chest which he said were some of the signs of the "brutal initiation." Because of the injuries he received, Burr says he intends to bring suit against the order.

1060 Barrel Oil Gusher Puts Clear
(Star News Service)
CLEARVIEW, Okla., Mar. 19. If you happen to have a couple of crisp one thousand dollar bills in your vest pocket, you can today, possibly buy a couple of lots at Clearview, Oklahoma, the well known Negro community located on the Ft. Smith and Wester railroad, a few miles east of Boley, the Negro metropolis. Last week lots sold for very much less than $1000 per, especially prior to last Thursday, March 11. On Thursday things happened in the little, quiet and orderly town of Clearview. In a certain back yard an oil gusher burst forth, throwing a dark amber colored fluid high in the air, over the top of the derrick and there were heard awful rumblings beneath the surface, as if the earth's interior was in a fit of convulsion. The back-yard and front belonged to the well known Negro citizen of Clearview, Mr. J W Thompson, and over night he had become a millionaire, and his neighbors greatly enriched through their holdings of adjoining acreage which had equally excellent prospect of producing oil. The gusher on Mr. Thompson's land has burst
DEMOCRATIC JOURNAL
SPEAKS OUT FOR NEGRO
Rock Ribbed Democratic Cleveland
Plain Dealer Says "There's No
New Negro, But Negro
With New Ideals."
(A. N. P. Service).
CHICAGO, Mar. 19.—The Cleveland, Ohio, Plain Dealer, for years one of the most influential and widely read Democratic journals in the United States, recently discussing the demands of the American Negro in its editorial columns, said: The Negro of today is framing his demands in unanswerable terms. He is not demanding anything that belongs to another; but he is demanding rights that are his, to acquire the identical things that other Americans enjoy. And he is specific in his demands. He asks for equal opportunity to develop himself by his own labors. He asks equal opportunity to compete with every other American for the identical fruits and blessings achieved by any other American under the American form of government. The Negro asks no gifts, but equal opportunity to acquire any and everything men acquire through honest toil and sacrifice.
Again, we are reminded there is no new Negro. But there is a Negro with new ideals. And when he is allowed to work, to develop himself into a full man; dependent upon none except himself, he will appear as commplace as any other American.
First Colored Woman to Take Prominent Part in a State Convention.
(A. N. P. Service).
LA GRANGE, Ken., Mar. 19.—Although Kentucky women will not get full suffrage this year, but will vote in the next Presidential election, Negro women already have entered politics. This is the first time in the history of the South when Negro women have taken any apparent interest in politics, and certainly the first when a woman member of the Race has participated as a full accredited delegate at a convention.
When the 7th Congressional Dis-

forth in such volume that wise and experienced oil and gas operators estimated its flow as fully 1000 barrels or more. There is every reason to believe that this oil well will surpass any other previously reported in Oklahoma's famous and world renowned oil fields. Anyhow, Clearview is now and henceforth on the map. The Negro land owners who have been holding on for years hoping and praying for something to happen, are today the happiest mortals in all the world, and the land values to prospector jumped in duration of a second's time from $500 to $1000, and no one is running around anxious to sell at that or any other price.
Mr. J. W. Thompson is one of the pioneer settlers of this little Negro community and has managed, thru an excess of natural ability and shrewdness to thrive and accumulate until he was even prior to the coming of this oil gusher, one of the strong financial backers of the city.
Mr. Thompson for years has been a reader of the Tulsa Star, and the Star heartily extends sincere congratulations to its old and faithful subscriber. In fact, the Star points a moral and adorns this tale by urging every one to subscribe, as from Mr. Thompson's experience, it can be seen what good things come to those who read the Star.
trict Republican delegates met here preparatory to the state convention among them was Annie Simms Banks of Winchester, Kentucky, one of the delegation from Clark county, who only took part in the proceedings, but was appointed member of the rules committee, and as such helped prepare the report submitted to the state convention. She was referred to whenever it became necessary as "the lady from Clark," and was accorded as much courtesy as any other delegate.
When the resolutions committee reported Mrs. Banks gave a short talk, which was heard with much interest. She said: "We are just beginning to open our eyes in politics, but before long we are going to make ourselves felt, and you can depend on Annie Simms Banks of Winchester, to do her part for the grand old party."
Added interest was given to the meeting by the presence in the hall of other Negro women, who, however, had no voice in the convention They watched the proceedings colse-ly.

ARE YOU SICK! Your Resolution Should Be: "I will Get Well the Mechano-Therapy Way"
Mechanotherapy is a scientific method of finding the cause of disease in the spinal column (back bone), and correcting that cause by adjusting the vertebrae (segments) of the spine to eliminate any pressure on the nerves that pass out from the spinal cord to supply all parts of the body with nerve force (life). When this is done nature will make you well. Mechanotherapy adjustments open the channels for nature to do her work.
Let us explain how Mechano-Therapy will make you well. No charge for consultation.

NEGRO MUSIC ORIGIN
Reland Hayes Will Go to Africa for

(Star News Service.)
N I W YORK, March 12.—Roland Hayes who recently returned here after a most successful recital tour of the West, has decided to go to Africa for research work after his recital here of last night, March 11. Mr. Hayes' purpose in going to the Dark Continent is to pursue several years research into the origin of Negro music. He expresses it: "I am going to the places where civilization began to get at the heart of Gangs." The popular tenor solos is the first of his Race to under-take such a mission. It is planned that Mr. Hayes shall appear in London, Paris and other European music centers in recital, while en route to Africa. He looks upon his trip as his "Great Adventure" and does not, as he says, know where he is going nor when he is coming back, but his numerous admirers and friends all over the country are expecting to hear highly satisfactory reports about his mission.

So-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, locomotor ataxia and other inco-ordinations are caused by pressure on nerves at this point.
Pressure on nerves in this part of the spine is the cause of so-called throat trouble, neuralgia, pain in arms, goitre, nervous prostration, la gripe, dizziness, bleeding from nose, disorder of gums, catarrh and other so-called "diseases."
Pressure on nerves here will cause so-called bronchitis, felons, pain between the shoulder blades, hay fever, writers' cramp, and other troubles.
Nerve pressure at this point causes so-called nervousness, heart disease, natha na, pneumonia, tuberculosis, difficult breathing and other lung troubles.
So-called stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of the spleen, pleurisy and a nausea of other troubles are caused by pressure on nerves in this part of the spine.
At this point we find the cause of so-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, feces, spleen, hernia, wormia, and many other inco-ordinations.
Pressure on nerves at this point will cause so-called Bright's disease, diabetes, floating kidney, skin diseases, boils, eruptions and rheumatism.
Such troubles as so-called appendicitis, peritonitis, lumbago, etc., yield to Mastitis adjuvant antibiotics in this part of the spine.
Why have so-called constipation, rotal troubles, sciatica, etc., when adjustments at this part of the spine will eliminate the cause?
A slight displacement of one or both hip bones will produce so-called sciatica, together with many "diseases" of pelvis and lower extremities.
MISSOURI GOVERNOR COMMENDS NEGRO DEMOCRACY Governor Gardner Writes Interesting Letter Favoring Division of Negro Voters.
Says There Should Be Hearty Spirit of Co-Operation Between Whites and Blacks.
It is a pleasure to find that the efforts of many of our Group in behalf of the great cause of Democracy are recognized by representative and distinguished members of that party. No finer illustration of this recognition could be shown than by the following letter written by the Hon Frederick D. Gardner, Governor of the State of Missouri, and addressed to Mr. Mattjoy, a member of the celebrated Afro American Democratic Club of Kansas City, Mo. The letter clearly points out the wisdom of the division of the Race in the matter of voting and that there is wisdom is further proven by the fact that all the other race groups in America are found in both the great political parties of the country. This letter of Governor Gardner should serve as a great encouragement to the Colored Democrats of Missouri and elsewhere and the Star is hopeful that the Democracy of Oklahoma will some day awaken to the value of the services rendered not only by the Tulsa Star but by the hundreds of other merits of the Race in Oklahoma, who have bravely turned their backs on the party which has pretended to be their stanch friend, but only on

The basketball team of the Washington High School of this city adied another star to their long list of victories last Saturday when they defeated the Langston University team in one of the fastest games of their career.

They went with a determination to win and win they did to the tune of 23 to 17.
The Langston team heretofore has been considered the championship team of the state and the victory of Saturday gives Tulsa's team the right to claim the state championship.

Dear Friend:
I thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending me a copy
of the Kansas City Sun of Saturday.
February 21st, which I have read
with a great deal of interest.
I desire to congratulate the Negro race upon the fact that many of them are now voting the Democratic ticket and believe they will continue to do so in increasing numbers. I think the day has come when the Negro will intelligently divide his vote between the different political organizations. In that way he is more apt to receive consideration at the hands of each of the great parties. Having been born and reared in the south, I have always felt I understood the Negro race and am convinced there are wonderful possibilities for the Negro in Missouri, and that there should be a hearty spirit of co-operation and good feeling between the whites and the blacks. During the war I felt the need of co-operation in order that the Negroes might take a more active part in war work. Therefore, I created the Negro Industrial Commission and appointed numerous Negroes on same. They did a remarkable work such as increasing farm production, stimulating subscriptions to war work and the sale of bonds and in many ways reaching the Negro people through this Commission who would not have been reached in any other way.
I hope to be able to recreate this Commission under legislative act before long and also to start a Negro experimental farm under the direction of the State Board of Agriculture.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 76 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published a statement asserting that the opposition in the South to universal military training was due to prejudice against the Colored soldier.
"The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People does not concern itself with universal military training as such," says the statement, "but in behalf of the Colored people of the United States objection must be made to the propaganda against Colored soldiers by which it was hoped to discredit the measure."
"Brigadier General Sherburne and Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, have testified to the valor of Negro troops in France. Under the circumstances, the propaganda against Colored soldiers must be characterized as for the most part deliberate and intentional falsification."—(N. A. A. C. P. Service.)

LOOKER WASHINGTON'S
Fres. Moton Describes Purpose of National Health and Clean Up Week.
U.S.KKEEE, INST., Aia, Mar, 12.—wazing the vital importance of the value of the conservation of Negro Health, especially at a time when conditions created by the World's War have put man power at a premium, the National Health Week to be held from April 19th to 20th is being chasmastically stressed now throughout the southern states. F. K. Barnweh, lecturer to Negroes, Texas Public Health Association, a constructive agency to reduce the mortality rate among an people living in Texas, says that this association will nearly co-operate to make Negro Health Week an epocial step forward to combat the physicalills affecting the Negro, such organizations as the Medical associations of the country and other spitting agencies realize that the National Negro Health Week is pregnant with wonderful possibilities for the successful combating of those diseases which are exacting such heavy toll among Negroes.
Since this National event is to be observed annually, during the weeks of the anniversary of the birth of the late Dr. Booker 1. Washington, its founder, it is apparent that every Negro and Negro organization should appreciate the necessity for an immediate, active and vrite campaign such as is being promoted.
Everyone interested in having a healthy environment should help to contribute to the effectiveness and progress of the Race by making the observance of Health Week a vigorous attack against all unsanitary conditions which breed sickness as well as against those preventable diseases which are wrecking the lives of so many of our people. The dangers of polluted wells and springs, over crowded bed rooms and other things known to be decreasing the economic efficiency of Negroes should be brought out in a striking manner in lecturers by ministers, teachers, physicians and other leaders.
It is suggested that as in previous years there be appointed in each community a Clean Up Committee to arrange a program for Health Week. It is suggested that Sunday, April 4th, be Health Sunday and that on that day sermons be preached on health, directing the attention of the people to the Clean Up Campaign; that Monday, April 5th be Health Day in the Schools; that school buildings be put into sanitary conditions and that appropriate programs be rendered, to which the patrons of the school be invited. It is suggested that during the remainder of the week the homes and yards receive attention.
JACK SURPASSES DEMPESY
IN PUGILISM AND PATRIOTISM
So Declares N. Y. News Editorally Comparing Them In Deadly Parallel
(Star News Service.)
NEW YORK, Mar. 12.—The N, Y
news ediitied says;
"He had offended the American code—the real American dementia. Knowing though everyone did that the world's fighting champion was being persecuted by Southern Federal officials, was being sacrificed on the altar of race hatred, there was no one, either white or black, to proclaim his worthiness to be the admired champion of the prize ring. His morals differed neither in degree nor kind from those of nineteeths of his fellow fighters. Yet his defense was impossible and his doom was sealed. Time and again in Europe during the World War, he offered his services and his life to the cause of America or her Allies. He would gladly sacrifice all if he could but redeem himself in the eyes of his countrymen, if he could but return to his native land a free man to see his failing and faithful old mother before she passed away. But the American monster of race prejudice was not to be satisfied. His mother dead, his home, his fortunes faded, his love for his country now brings him back to face a prison term for a technical violation of the vicious Mann white-slave law. Jack Johnson, after all is said and done, is an American patriot.
Jack Dempsey is no American patriot, according to the San Francisco Grand Jury which on Friday last indicted him with his manager Jack Kearns for conspiring to evade the draft. Claiming that he was the sole support of his wife, he successfully evaded army service for his native land during the darkest days of the World War. But Jack Dempsey, like his predecessor, once the danger was passed, deserted his faithful self-sacrificing wife, too, for a more alluring love. According to much documentary evidence produced by the now divorced Mrs. Jack Dempsey, she was supporting Dempsey instead of the slacker supporting her. Certainly this crime of the world's fighting champion in being supported by a weak woman is
not one bit blacker in morals—even though it does not violate the letter of the law—than the love lapses of Jack Johnson. But Jack Dempsey compounds this crime by adding to it the blacker one of refusing to serve his country in time of war. Try as it will the press has not been able to suppress these facts. Indeed, Dempsey is being exploited as an American hero for the match against the idolized soldier and heavyweight champion of Europe, Georges Carpentier of France. The American people neither the loy nor the fair sporting public, has batted an eyelash of shock at the crime of Dempsey."
AN ESSAY
Of a Few Prominent Negro Editors and Managers of Colored Newspapers and Magazines that Started this Country Afloat With Breezy Times.
(By L. B. McCoy, Tulsa, Okla.)
O. W. Adams, "The Birmingham Reporter," sent C. A. Franklin, at Kansas City, Mo., "The Call" that Mrs. C. A. Spear Bass, of Los Angeles, Cal., had caged "The Eagle" for J. D. Rivers, at Denver, Colo., who already was "The Colorado Statesman," and it would be sent by W. E. King, who was operating "The Dallas Express," to J. B. H. Coleman, of Washington, D. C., for "The Washington Sun," to shine on him. "The Atlanta Independent," B. J. Davis, of Atlanta, Ga., got news of this and started a message by J. B. Lafarque, "The Advance Messenger" of Alexandria, La., and O. W. Adams "The Negro Farmer Messenger," of Tuskegee Institute, around by the way of Topeka, Kan., to Nick Chiles who was the "Topeka Plaindealer." W. E. B. DeBois, in New York City, heard all about this, and he being not afraid to trust one Geo. L. Knox who was "The Freeman" of Indianapolis, Ind., said he would start "The Crisis" in New York City, and the same would spread all over this country. E. D. Lynwood, of Muskogee, Okla., "The Tattler" found out what was going on and called Rosecoe Dungee, over long distance phone at Oklahoma City, and told him to send a "Black Dispatch" to A. J. Smitherman, of Tulsa, Okla., and tell him that "The Tulsa Star" was advancing and would shine over all this United Land. J. D. Howard got wise and put this in his "Ledger" at Indianapolis, Ind. Being afraid that Jos. D. Bibb, of Chicago would use his "Whip" and have Robt. S. Abbott in "Chicago Defender."—Indianapolis Freeman.

PAWHUSKA, Mar, 19.—The Colored Public School of Pawhuska, Mrs. B. L. Sims, principal, Miss S. E. Bird assistant, have an enrollment of 79. Great progress is being made by all the grades, and there is a spirit of love and friendship between teachers, pupils and parents. A manuel training course is planned and the parents are in line for a better and more convenient building for our people. Miss Bird has a thriving and aggressive basketball squad trained for battle.
The Patrons and Teachers Association was addressed Monday night by Kev. Chas. L. Williams of Tulsa and he delivered a most profound lecture on the home, pupil and the school ever heard by the citizens of Lawhuska. The large room at the school was full to overflowing. We want Rev. Williams to come again as his lecture was greatly appreciated by all.
Twentieth Century Club of the First Baptist Church is one of the four clubs for the purpose of raising money for the new building that is to be erected some time in June. In our rally February 15, we put on the table in cash $672.48. The Twentieth Century Club was the banner saquo que 'pa' H sep auj aoj quo followed.

We were favored with the service of Rev. Chas. L. Williams, President of Teachers Training Course of Oklahoma, on the 14th, we were highly pleased with his broad and simple method of teaching Bible truths. We feel that Rev. Williams deserves the support of all good Baptists. The B. Y. P. U., must confess that he is prepared to do the work. He delivered a most masterly seminar at 8:30 from Job 23:28. The house was filled to its utmost capacity. Collection $15.00. The officers of B. Y. P. U., are, William Washington, Pres., Viola Dangerfield, Sec.

SIX HELD AS RESULT
KILLING OF WHITE
MAN IN NEGRO DIVE
Merle Brown Escaped Shrapnel and Gas Flame of Huns to Die in Tulsa Joint.
BLAME WOMAN'S TALK
Detectives Believe All of Parties Concerned in Fight Will Be Arrested.
Merle Brown, 28, residing at 541 North Denver avenue, a machinist employed by the Auto Cylinder works, 307 West Third street, and only recently released from the United States army is dead.
Bryan Turley, John R. Sears, Harry Edwards and Wheeler Burgess residing at or near Turley, are being held in the municipal jail for investigation in connection with the death of Merle Brown while police detectives are searching the city for a fifth Indian who is said to have been a participant in a drunken fight staged shortly before dawn Sunday morning.
Marguerite Dean and Madge Watson, sisters whose homes are at Sapulpa, are held in the women's section of the jail as state's witnesses, and it is from these women and E W Hocker, jitney driver, residing at 418 South Madison avenue, that the state expects to draw testimony that will point to the men responsible for Brown's death.
Stabbed to Death.
Brown served 18 months in France with a combat division. He died at a hospital early Sunday morning from the effects of three knife wounds in the fight staged at a "choc joint" operated by Slack Robinson and his wife, Sarah, in the Negro settlement less than one-half mile northeast of the city limits, near the Oklahoma Iron works. One wound in the abdomen and another in the head, just behind the right ear, caused his death. There was a third wound in the right shoulder. Brown's body was sent to Erie, Pa., just night his old home.
In the concluding analysis of the tragedy, police detectives say, it will be found that a woman sent Merle Brown to his death. She was innocent of any criminal intent, the detectives state, but a profane tongue lashing about in a fury superinduced by the wierd contortions of a brain inflamed by an over indulgence of alcoholic beverage was directly responsible for the actions of a ormer sweetheart.
"That, briefly, is the theory of Police Detectives Frank Wolfe and Jim Patten and Joseph E. Duran, Bertillon expert, who were detailed to work on the case Sunday morning. This theory is advanced after a minute scrutiny of the facts that are in substance as follows:
Some months ago Turley and a white youth, who followed the occupation of a soda dispenser, and two girls engaged adjoining apartments at a rooming house. They maintained these rooms for a few weeks and then departed.
The girls went to Sapulpa. Since their departure Madge Watson has filed suit in a Creek county court seeking a divorce from her husband. The other sister after leaving Tulsa married a Frisco railroad fireman named Dean. The girls are able to supply complete information regarding the soda dispenser, who has left Tulsa, but in the matter of the Indian's identity they know nothing about him and only know him by sight.
Notwithstanding continued and insistent efforts put forth by the detectives, Madge Watson, the girl who was a friend of the Indian, insisted she did not know the Indian's name and only knew him when she saw him. Monday morning she stoutly maintained the same attitude, although subsequent developments lead the detectives to believe otherwise.
Profane Words Started Fight.
W. W. Darner, 22, of 14 North Wheeling avenue, and employed by the Tulsa Armature works, 314 East Fourth street, who was with Brown, in his statement to the police contended that when the quartet entered the Negro establishment some one asked Brown if he was with the Watson girl and the fight started when he said he was.
On the other hand, E. W. Hocker jitney driver, who voluntarily appeared at police headquarters at noon Sunday tells a story that differs from Darner's in only one or two phases. He contends that when Brown and his party entered the room Madge Watson saw Turley and some strong language was uttered, Turley replying.
While Turley and Madge Watson were cursing one another, a coffee pot was hurled, striking Brown on the head and while attempting to quiet the two sisters, Hocker was struck in the back with a piano stool.
Brown and Darner went out a rear door, followed by the Indians. The Negroes darted into another room and did not leave. While the fight was in progress outside, Hocker claims, he remained inside with the two women. Turley and Sears admitted they had been in a "violent fight" when questioned. At that time, however,

they did not know that Brown was dead. Since learning of his death the two Indians have assumed a reticent attitude. Sarah Robinson, the Negress, told the detectives that after the fight someone asked Turley to help put Brown in an automobile, but he refused.
Girls Admit Being Drunk.
A white girl, whose name has not been learned, but who is described as a tall, very thin and with black hair, who appeared at the "choe joint" with Turley, picked Brown up and carried him to the car. After that she disappeared.
The dean and Watson girls claim they do not remember anything of the affair. They admit being so drunk that they cannot recall the events at the joint where detectives say white men and women mingle with Negro men and women; where a dilapidated piano furnished music for Negro men to dance with white women, and for white men to dance with Negro women, and where Merle Brown sustained wounds that caused his death.
But Marguerite Dean does remember that a husband at Sapulpa is wondering where she is. This husband left Sapulpa at 6 o'clock Saturday evening on his "run." He was due back in Sapulpa some time Sunday afternoon.
"The four Indians were turned over to the county Monday afternoon—Tulsa Tribune.
LYNCHING AND RAPE
NOT ALWAYS COINCIDENT
Negroes Frequently Lynched South on Roadways When Both Sides Were Wrong for
(A. N. P. Service).
CHICAGO, Mar. 19.—James Weldon Johnson writing on Lynching in the United States, says:
"Serious discussion of effective means to abolish lynching first consideration must be given to the awakening, the enlightenment and the molding of public opinion. No matter what methods are suggested, the way in which they will work out will depend largely on the sort of public opinion they have to encounter.
The first thing of all to realize is that public opinion in the United States is not against lynching; if it was, lynching as it is carried on in this country could not exist.
Of course, there are vast numbers of Americans who are shocked and horrified at the mere thought of lynching, but the great majority are not. There are millions of law abiding people in the United States, men and women who would not knowingly violate a municipal regulation, who while they may not endorse the lynching of Negroes, at the same time do not condemn it
THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, March, 20, 1920.
In the death of the Rev. J. H. Kelly at Birmingham, Ala., last week, the Baptists of America lost one of its ablest and most promising leaders. He was a native of Alabama, but went at an early age to California where he finished a university course. Recently he had accepted a call to preach at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Chicago. He was taken sick and died during his return here to prepare for moving to Chicago). Rev. Kelly was widely known
For a reason which may not be clea to themselves they feel when a Negro is lauched that perhaps, after all, it was about the best thing that could be done under the circumstances.
This inertia, this condoning attitude of American public opinion is the most difficult condition to be reckoned with in any effort to abolish lynching.
There is a reason for this condoning attitude. A reason which sprang from distortion and misreprenation, and which has been fostered by well directed propaganda. The impression has been graven on the mind of the public at large in this country that the lynching of Negroes and the crime of rape go together. In the mind of the American public at large the idea has been more or less firmly imbbeded that rape and the lynching of Negroes in the South bear the relation of cause and effect.

(A. N. P. Service).
NEW YORK, N. Y., March 19. As the result of the stoppage of immigration and the wholesale emigration which are expected to follow the lifting of the war-time bars, the American Negro has been presented with the greatest industrial and economic opportunities he has ever known in America, Walter F. White assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said at a labor meeting held under the direction of the State Labor Bureau in Mother Zion.

To enable the Negro fully to take advantage of his opportunities, White said, "the color line must be abolished in fact as it has already been abolished on paper by the American Federation of Labor."
"Thus only," he said, "will it be possible to develop an intelligent and well-trained group of Negro workmen who can demand recognition from both employer and labor union.
"The Negro's opportunity has come not because of any lessening of the prejudice of a half century, that has contrived to submerge Negro labor, but by reason of the stoppage of immigration from Europe.
The Negro's problem of meeting Race prejudice will not be solved entirely by this economic and social change. But the new opportunities for Negro labor, I believe, are destined to be the greatest single factor in the Colored man's fight for emancipation from the slavery of color discrimination.
"As Negro labor is drained away from the South, the South's pocketbook will be touched. Eventually the South must be willing to accord to those Negroes who remain every right and privilege of an American citizen. Already thousands of acres of fertile land are barren and untilled, cotton and corn growing are seriously hampered by labor shortage and turpentine and milling interest are gravely affected.
"But if the Negro migrant is allowed to come North with no effort to assimilate him, new dangers are created. Lying propaganda precipitated the troubles of Chicago, Omaha and Washington. Negro migrants were not only lied about; they were mercilessly exploited."

WHITES NEED AMERI-
CANIZING: NOT NEGRO
The Negro, Says Dean William Pickens, Is Truest Type of the American Group.
(A. N. P. Service). CHICAGO, Mar. 19.—Dean Wm. Pickens discussing the idea of Americanizing the Negro. Says:
It happens to be that the Negro is the most American group in the country both in ancestry and in point of attitude of mind. His lines reach much farther back than that of the average white man of the country. In spirit he is less arrogant, more liberal and democratic, and believes more sincerely that "ah men are born free and equal." He does not believe that he is naturally entitled to more privileges than other breeds of men. That is the very essence of the spirit that made America. The Negro does not lynch, and does not act by virtue of mobs. He wants law and order to be supreme, and as a group he does not ask any artificial advantage of any other group. That is of the essence of America.
The intelligent Negro is therefore puzzled when he hears anybody talking, about Americanizing the Negro. He knows that the battle would be over if only we could Americanize the white man.
Missouri Negroes Jaunt to Tuskegee

AMERICA'S RICHEST COLOR- ED BOY VISITS TULSA
Luther Manuel, Reputed a Million- aire, Passes Through to Wes- tern University.
Our city was visited last Monday by Luther Manuel of Haskell, Oktahoma, who is considered the richest Colored boy in America. Luther, who in appearance is quite a lad yet, is owner of valuable city and farm lands, and also oil and gas properties, the latter of which are piling up thousands on top of thousands of dollars for Luther. It is estimated that in the course of years, and by the time he reaches the age of majority he should easily compute his wealth by the millions. Young Luther has been down to his home near Haskell to spend last Friday, Saturday and Sunday with his mother, and stopped over here on his return to his studies at Western University, Quindaro. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, Mr. Clarence J. Davis, a young and well known citizen of the Haskell community. Mr. Davis formerly worked on the staff of the late Hon. L. A. Bell's paper, The Wagoner American, and during his stay he called with Luther at the Star office and expressed pleasure at the completeness in every detail of the Star for publishing a newspaper and priting job work of every description in first class style.

PORT RACE PROGRESS
The Star office was visited early last Tuesday morning by the Messrs. W. A. Kennedy and A. W. Ward, two prominent citizens and financiers of Boley, Okla. Mr. Kennedy is actively interested in insurance and is General Manager of the Exchange Insurance Association, formerly of Muskogee, but now of Boley. He is also district manager for the well known Standard Life Insurance Co., of Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Ward is one of the most successful real estate financiers of our Group in Oklahoma. He is rapidly carrying out the ambition of the Negroes of Boley and Okfuskee Co., to become owners of all the land in that county. Mr. Ward recently consummated a deal wherein our Race became owners of three white settlements in Okfuskee Co., and Negroes are now occupying them. Mr. Kennedy expressed pleasure in having last week spoken to a Negro audience in a school house which only a few weeks before had been used exclusively by the whites. These gentlemen report that large numbers of our Group are pouring into Okfuskee county from all the Southern states, especially Texas, Arkansas, and Alabama. They said they are coming from localities in those states like Longview, Elaine and Dumas, where Race oppression recently flared forth resulting in the brutal assassination and murder of many Negroes and destruction of their homes and other personal property. The Messrs. Kennedy and Ward inform us that many of these new comers are amply able to buy and pay cash for what they want in city and farm lands. Some of them are able to pay as high as $10,000 and $15,000 out of hand for farms here in Oklahoma and at the same time have ownership of large cotton plantations back in their old home communities. Oklahoma is to be congratulated in obtaining these thrifty and well to do Negroes as citizens and surely no stone should be left unturned in showing them a most hearty welcome.

LEARN WHAT the stars and planets say about your future. If you expect to make any changes during the year, by all means have an Astrologer point out the days and dates when the planets are favorable for your interests. These are critical times and you need counsel and advice as never before. If you have made errors in the past see that you do not make them in the future. There is no disputing the fact that the Astrologer can point out with remarkable accuracy and fortell coming events which are beyond the power of the average mind to foresee.
Surely you are interested in yourself and want to know more about your future. We send you a lengthy Astrological Reading covering the entire year; one that you can consult today and prepare for what is coming tomorrow. As long as your star of Destiny is favoring you, your affairs will run smooth and prosper, but when the planets are in evil aspect everything goes wrong, you then say you are having "bad" luck. Surely this has come to your notice. From the Astrologer's view the year 1920 will be the most eventful year it. the world's history. Many a fortune will be made and lost. Therefore, when you have an important matter to decide, and are at a loss as to what is best to be done, it is only necessary to consult your annual forecast, which fully covers Business Matters, Change of Location, Speculation, Travel, Love Courtship, Marriage, Health, Accidents, Lucky days, etc., in details for the entire year.
We trust that you will avail yourself of this opportunity, for $2 spent today may save you years of unhappiness. Send $2.00, your full birthdate, Remit by P. O. Order. Do it Now, Tomorrow may be too late.

TULSA COLORED LIBRARY MADE ATTRACTIVE
Librarian Succeeds in Obtaining Additional Consideration on Part of Authorities.
The rain storm accompanied by thunder and lightning last Wednesday night indicates that the back of winter is broken, and spring, gentle spring is here, or near any way. And just to think, that day our Colored Librarian had had set up in the reading room of the Colored Library on Archer street, a large
THE TULSA STAR. Saturday. March. 20. 1920.
and handsome stove capable of radiating its generous heat to the furthemost nooks of the room. The installation of this new stove was necessary, especially because during all the coldest days of the past winter, the Assistant Librarian, Mrs. A Smitherman has been up against the problem of trying to keep warm enough to feel she was still alive. The problem of stoves and heating is a matter that confronts the Librarian, and no one else and must come out of the pitiful allowance made to maintain this institution. And that is not all, there is the salary of the Assistant Librarian and many incidental expenses gas, lighting, cleaning and the like, which must be met by the Librarian, and on top of that he is furnishing his own building as quarters for the library for the use of the Colorco People of Tulsa. Surely that is a burden for one man to assume and carry on successfully.
Many other Sinbad, carrying such a load, would quite naturally devote considerable time urging a greater allowance, through which he personally might realize relief and benefit. But not so, through the efforts of Mr. A. J. Smitherman, Librarian, the local authorities have been made wise to the primitive conditions found at the Colored Library, as compared with those proviled for the whites at the magnificent public library down town, and as the result of his efforts a greater degree of interest is to be shown and the Colored Library made more attractive, interesting and suitable as a place for young people to go and read. Among other things in anticipation, it is planned to place on the shelves a full line of the works of Negro authors and popular magazines. There is every reason to believe when the Colored People of Tulsa themselves show wider interest in this institution, that it will soon become one of such character and usefulness, that one and all will take pride in it.
In addition, it may be said Mr. Smitherman, Librarian, has offered the use of the library room free of charge for night meeting purposes by any Tulsa organization interested in Race uplift.—(Hack).

A PROMINENT WHITE MAN who says he is a democrat and who bitterly opposed the present city administration, to no avail, has announced that he knows 1,500 democrats who will vote the republican ticket next month. This may be true, but in our opinion he is a d——n poor democrat who will desert his party's selection as a whole, for selfish reasons. The majority of the democrats of Tulsa have said by their vote that the present administration shall be the standard bearers of the party in the approaching election. The issues within the party were clearly stated in the primary campaign and were as clearly refuted in the election Tuesday by the great majority of the democrats, and as we see it, it is clearly the duty of every democrat to fall in line and support his party nominees.
Good democrats will do this, and as shown in the election Tuesday, the GOOD democrats are decidedly in the majority in Tulsa.
The Star predicted that Hubbard would win in the primary election and with the same foresight we now predict that he will win, hands down, in the general election, next month.
THE Y. M. C. A. MOVEMENT among the Colored people of Tulsa is a worthy one and should receive encouragement from every source. There is nothing more needed in Tulsa than an institution of this kind for our group. With the present social environment for the Colored youth of our city, there is absolutely no inducement for the development of the better side of character. There is not a single public place of amusement and recreation where our youth may go to spend a profitable evening to their own enjoyments. This condition has obtained long enough in Tulsa. It is time for the fathers and mothers of our boys and girls to get busy and do something for the men and women of tomorrow. Let's get in behind this Y. M. C. A. Movement and the Y. W. C. A. Movement and push them to success.
SEEMS RATHER STRANGE that the fellows who are always "Singing 'em" about the immorality of this city—the gambling dens, the booze joints, etc., etc., continue to live here. As a matter of fact they know there are as many good people in Tulsa as there are in any other city in the world of the same size—and there may be as many bad ones, including the habitual calamity howlers.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the Colored Race will be found in the Negro newspaper, and the fellow who goes to the white paper for the "bright side of the Race" belongs to that bunch who attempted "to find a needle in a hay-stack." If our newspapers are not what you would have them, get busy and help to improve them.
"THE BOYS IN THE TRENCHES" did their bit right well Tuesday and they will do it again in the general election next month. By the will of the great majority the democrats of Tulsa have named the best ticket bossible and our fellows will stand by it to the last ditch.
WE DOFF OUR HAT to the ladies who, Tuesday made their debut in politics. Some few registered as republicans—quite natural of course—but the great majority of them followed the wisdom of their wide awake brothers and took their position in the democratic ranks.
COMPULSARY MILITARY SERVICE is a natural consequence of Compulsary Military Training. At least Senator Gore says so and upon this theory he is vigorously opposing the propaganda, for Compulsory Military training. Senator Gore can see a long way for a blind man.
THE COLORED MAN who expects sunshine and praises all the time, will never belong to the history-making class of our Race; its that fellow who is able to meet the "dark days" and overcome them that finally turns up a successful citizen.
YOU MAY BE as smart as Solomon, but if you fail to use your knowledge in bringing things about, you do not amount to anything. The doing Colored man is what the Race mostly needs now. Just being smart don't amount to a row of pins.
YOUR CONDUCT is the biggest recommendation you can offer the public, that you have had the proper home training. Judging by the way some of us act, we have been sadly neglected along this particular line.
IF YOU are worth anything to your community everybody worth while in the community will know it. It's not necessary to tag yourself.
AND NOW, that its all over, and the results are as the Star predicted, let's forget our differences and get in shape for the big fight next month.
IF THEY JUGGLE the Peace Treaty much more there will be nothing left of it to revise.

M. T. H. S. GLEE CLUBS
ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS
Muskogee High School Students Exe celled Smarter Set in Solo and Chorus Singing and Drilling.
(Star News Service)
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Mar. 19.—The Japanese Operetta, the Yokohama Maid, rendered by the boy and girl members of the Manual Training High School last Friday night under direction of Mrs. L. C. Clark was a grand success both from an educational and financial point of view. The audience which filled the Hinton Theatre was representative of all classes of school patrons, and children and one and all were more than pleasanably surprised to note the unusual ability and talent shown by the young boys and girls of the Glee Clubs in rendering this rather difficult operetta. All through the exercises the large audience frequently manifested its appreciation of the beautiful songs, duetts, choruses and drills, which one after another followed with clockwork precision under direction of Mrs. Clark. It was conceded by many who have attended performances given by the public schools, that Mrs. Clark on this occasion had exceeded all former efforts and the leading participants were said to have rendered their parts like old professionals, instead of amateurs
The stage settings and costumes wort representing Japan and its people were particularly beautiful and pleasing. The cast of characters was as follows:
Takasi (Baritone) Aurelius Jolly, The Herald of Kybosho; Muvon Yu (Baritone or Bass) Malloy Watson, A Policeman; Ah No (Tenor) Luther Powell, A Chinese Laundryman from the U. S. A.; Fateded (Baritone) Dannie Brown, The Mayor of Kyboslo; Knogudi, (Tenor) Willie Little, His Secretary; Harry Cortcase, (Light Baritone) Eddie Clark, An American Lawyer; O Sing-a-Song (Soprano) Odessa Jones, A Japanese Heitess; Kissime (Mezzo-Soprano) Cladist McHenry, Her Companion; Tung-Waga (Contralto) Irene Jones, An Elderly Nurse; Hilda and Stella (Mezzo-Sopranos) Pearl Grayson and Nellie Mae Johns, American Tourists.
Among those especially deserving of commendation for their stage presence, acting and excellent singing are Miss Odessa Jones, daughter of Rev. S. S. Jones and Master Danie Brown. The universal opinion was that these two performed their various parts with professional poise and ability. All the members of the Glee Clubs gave evidence of the admirable and careful training they had had under direction of Mrs. Clark, and their acting and singing were creditable in the highest degree.
One especially noticeable incident of the occasion was the presence in body of the members of the Muskogee Utility Club, composed of a number of our young Colored men, who accompanied by their young lady friends dressed in latest style and fashion occupied the boxes on the lower floor.
The proceeds of this entertainment were spent in purchasing a bandseme Victrola for the Manual Training High School. Together with the music records for the Victrola the cost will reach fully $150.00. The balance will be spent in purchase of music and books for the Music Department of the city schools. With this purchase of a Victrola, through the various concerts and operettas that have been given under her direction and training, Mrs. Clark has raised in these ways fully $500.00, thus supplying song books and other necessities usually supplied the white schools out of public school funds.
