VOLUME X RIOT RIOT MANY LOSE HOMES IN ARKANSAS FIRE EIGHT BLOCKS IN PINE BLUFF NEGRO SECTION SWEPT BY SWIFT FLAMES VICTIMS WALK STREETS Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct 12.—Nearly 500 people are homeless tonight, some sitting woefully on guard over a trunk, a bureau or whatever comprises the little household furniture that was saved from their homes, others are wandering aimlessly around in the devastated district trying to find a place to sleep. Still others have no clothes but those they wear—all are victims of a sweeping conflagration that in two hours this afternoon swept over eight blocks of a colored residential district destroying 54 homes, only two of which were occupied by whites. Only the dying out of a brisk southeast wind and entrenchment tactics of fire fighting checked the fire and prevented it from spreading into the Cotton Belt shop district. So thickly situated were dwellings in the colored section that an accurate check of the number of houses destroyed was not completed until late tonight and estimates of the entire loss based on the destruction of 54 homes were placed at between $200,000 and $300,000. Not a single fatality had been reported up to late tonight and a canvass of hospitals indicated that only a few received slight injuries, most of these suffering burns when they rushed into their homes in efforts to save household effects. An aged woman-was forcibly taken from her home after she had rushed back into the dwelling declaring frantically that she was "goin' with her home." She pleaded with her rescuers to be allowed to perish in her burning home. Throughout the district are the charred bodies of pigs, horses, cows, and house pets. One man rushed into a burning bar nand dragged out a pig that weighed about 200 pounds by its hind feet. A crowd soon gathered, summoned by the pig's squeals, and the animal was carried from the burning district with the utmost care. A mass meeting has been called to raise funds to relieve suffering. Insurance men and officials were making a check of the district tonight. Guards had been posted in the district and firemen were prepared to cope with a high wind should it raise and glow the embers from smouldering ruins. Blaze Still Proceeding—No Estimate of Loss Is Given Out Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 12.—More than 10 houses, most of them occupied by negroes, were destroyed or still are burning at 3:15 this afternoon in a fire which started at 2:00 p. m. in the negro section of the city. The flames at this hour had spread into the white residence section. Firemen believed they, were gradually getting the fire under control. Three stores, a church, and a number of small business houses were in the path of the flames. Nearly 500 people had been made homeless and a fund for their relief was started before the flames were under control. No estimate of the loss is available. So far as could be learned at 4 p. m., there had been no casualties in the blaze. Several sick persons and one man with a broken leg were carried from houses out of the immediate path of the flames. The fire was declared to be under control shortly after 4 p. m. and a request for equipment from Little Rock was countermanded. The wind seemed to be dying down this time and firemen expressed confidence in their ability to check the flames. Only a few scattered houses in an area of more than eight blocks were left standing. TIES WIFE TO A CHAIR, STABS HER WITH KNIFE When policemen arrived at the home of Finas and Josephie Parker, 1712 South Madison, Sunday night in answer to an urgent telephone call, they found Mrs. Finas tied to a chair and bleedin gprofusely from two knife wounds in her breast, inflicted by her husband. The woman will recover. Neighbors told the police the affair was the result of a long series of quarrels. Finas has not been captured. --- THE TULSA STAR WHICH MEANS MORE TO YOU?

Filmore Sapulpa, Okla., Oct. 12. Editor Tulsa Star: The Star is a popular paper in Sapulpa and we have had no trouble getting renewals from old subscribers and adding a number of new ones to the list. The first place that I visited was that of Mrs. Wm. James, who conducts a first class cafe and rooming house in this city. She readily gave her check for the renewal of subscription and said "I look for the Star each week like I look for letters from home; simply can't do without it." Mrs. James and her daughter left today for Oklahoma City. My next stop was at the Handcock-Bolden barber shop, of which J. H. Slaughter is manager. Mr. Slaughter is also an admirer of the Star. In connection with his barber shop he also conducts a cleaning and pressing business. Stopping at the Davis Grocery and Lunch Room, 217 West avenue, we found Mr. Robert Davis, who is conducting a thriving business. When told that I was representing the Tulsa Star he said, "Well, that's the paper I look for. PYut me down as a subscriber," and he readily paid the price. My next stop was at the office of our old friends and both great admirers of the Star, Drs. W. B. Humphrey and J. A. Owens. These physicians are both enjoying a big practice and are making marked success in this field.

Thousands of visitors, many of them colored people, attended the fair and enjoyed the exhibits and the many amusements. The races were probably the most popular attractions and it may be said with a degree of certainty that the most popular jockey to appear on the track was E. "Jockey" Mathews of Tulsa, who appeared in five races, winning two first prizes and two second prizes. This same jockey won three out of five races in the Wagoner County Fair week before last, making seven he won out of ten mounts. The colored people who attended the fair and many whites cheered wildly when Mathews won. Arkansas Pastor Visits Tulsa Rev. E. M. White, pastor of the C. M. E.

MEN MULGEE MOB STORMS JAIL TO FIND PRISONER GONE Colored Men Armed for Self-Defense Waited for Attack That Did Not Come MASS MEETING HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON Friendly Feeling Between Races Exists After Much Excitement (Special to Tulsa Star) Okmulgee, Okla., Oct. 12.—All is quiet again in this city after the excitement of last Saturday night when an attempt was made to lynch Joe Atchison, charged with the attempted assault upon Miss Helen Armour, a young white woman of this city. Atchison had been arrested Saturday morning as a suspect in connection with the crime and placed in jail. Feeling was high, having been fanned into flame by repeated attempts made on women here during the past two weeks. At least half a dozen women have been assaulted, one of them being a cofored woman, who was knocked down by her assailant, who escaped when she screamed for help. About a week ago an attempt was made on a woman here and upon visiting the scene the chief of police found a quantity of burnt cork, giving rise to the opinion that the culprit was a white man. It was a spirit of public indignation growing out of these repeated attempts that burst forth Saturday night when a mob stormed the jail in search of Atchison, who had been removed by Sheriff Tucker earlier in the day to the Muskogee County ail. Late Saturday night it was rumored that the mob planned to march on the colored business section of the city and forthwith a defense movement was organized. In a short while enough men were mobilized to stop a small army and word was sent to the mob that it would be dangerous to go near the colored section. This seems to have had a soothing effect on the temper of the mob, which soon dispersed—something Sheriff Tucker and Rev. F. F. Walters (white) had not been able to do. This attempt to lynch a colored man in Oukulgee has served to intimate what will actually happen here if mob violence is allowed to prevail. While the better element of the Race here are a unit against crime of any kind committed by individuals of our group, or any other group, they also are firm in their determination to protect themselves against mobs. This was clearly demonstrated Saturday night. DEGREES CARRED ON LARGE CLASS of Kansas City Consistory Administration ter of Coal Creek Lodge No. 88, and Mr. J. L.

Realizing that the intrinsic value of these government obligations is unchanged and that any recession in price of these securities means only an opportunity to buy for added profit by wise investors, the executive board of the National Medical Association has pledged itself unanimously to urge and forward by every means the purchase of government securities and their retention to maturity. The National Medical Association, made up of physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists numbers among its members, leaders in thought and education, and progress of the Colored race throughout the South. At a meeting of the executive board in Atlanta it was decided that each doctor presest would, on his return home, advise his people at every opportunity to cease selling their Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps and hold them until they mature and also to suggest that they add to their holdings.

Constitution by Moorfield Storey, Ex-President of Americas Bar Association October 6, 1920—Moorfield Storey of Boston, ex-president of the Americas Bar Associatin and president of the National Associatiions for the Advancement of Colored People to-day authorized the following statement of Haiti, which was given out at the office of the Advancement York. "General Lejeune's report on the conduct of Unitell States Marine in Haiti only emphasizes the fact that there has been no specific dienial of the serious charges mattle against the American occupation of the Island. The charges made by Mr. James Weldo Jonhson acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and by Mr. Herbert J. Seligman, were to the effect that some 3,000 Haitian had been killed by Marines; that men and women had been ousted that unlue pressure had been exerted upon the President of Haiti and other officers in behalf of an American banking institution; and that a rigid censorship was excluding the facts about the Haitian situation from the United States. "In answer to these specific charges it is hardly sufficient to assert that some Haitians are grateful for what has been done and that the American adventure in Haiti has been beneficient. "Our whole intervention in Haiti is in violation of the principles we protest anlI of our Constitution, and whereveet the Haitians have done has been obtained by force. We have made war on Haiti with our authority, from Congress." Cotton picking is the orderer of the gay. The Messrs J. West and Arthur Cannadly, both bachelors all caadhidlates for the uncertain seas of matrimony, are thechampion cotton raisers so far. THE NEW YORK TIMES ests of the Masonic order. He also visited Sapulpa and Claremore and returned to Tulsa to be present at the consistency reunion here Thursday. Pass This Along to Greenwood Hash Houses—Please! The daily news dispatch in the Eastern newspapers bring us the gladsome tidings that in the East, particularly the great world metropolis, New York City, the prices for 27 out 44 standard food articles have fallen between July 15 and August 15, last. Sad to relate, this has in no wise reached dear old "Greenwood" for the war prices on everything from a ham sandwich to a one half spring chicken fried still hold good in the restaurants along the big "Bright Way." According to the dispaches potatoes fell 44 per cent and cabbage 41 per cent in price. These price cutings are nearly one half of the recent charges on these articles, but these is no evidence to the cafe and restaurant patrons that cabbage and potatoes are cheaper. The price of sugar has fallen nearly 20 per cent, and on account of these it is said hotels and boarding houses are reducing heir raes in proportion. The average rate cutting on food articles in some of the leading cities is as follows: Minneapolis 11 per cent, St. Paul, 10 per cent, Detroit, 9 per cent and New York 6 per cent. It seems that the train bearing this news to Tulsa has been ditched somewhere up the line. Will you kindly pass the word along? PASTOR SAYS NORTH IN BAD WITH RACE PROBLEM Macon, Ga., Oct. 8—Rev. Dr. Wm. Russell Owen, white, pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city, recently returned from the North, where he visited Atlantic City and other points. He became so "alarmed at what he saw" in the way of social justice to the people, that he pushed into print with an interview as soon as he returned and has been "sounding a warning" to the people through his pulpit, based on the things he saw. In one of his interviews he said: "The North is in for a bad spell with the Negro problem. I found on this trip more growing hatred between the races in the North than one ever discovers in the South. Negro cooks and maids is some cases are making as much a $25.00 a week There is a growing inter-marriage between the whites and backs and a flaming race hatred. The whites are losing the tolerant spirit that looked upon the blacks as the wards of the Northern states to be proquest as old as Moses, of racial sect. Now the question is the old antipathy. Negroe at Atlantic City now have possession of several of the most prominent parts of the bathing beach." Lawyer A G. W. Sango of Muskogee, was a business visitor In the City Saturday. Mr. L. R. Burns of Richville, Washington and Mrs. G. V. Grayson of McAlester, sisters of Mrs. A. C. Jackson of this city, were entertained at a reception at the home of the latter Tuesday afternoon of last week. TULSA STAR. Saturday. October. 16. 1920 (A. N. P. Service) Race Men Avert Riot in Okmulgee The Negro quarters of Okmulgee is an armed camp this morning, according to Special Officer Grant Cowan, who made a tour of inspection throughout that section of the city. Pickers are posted at street intersections and the Colored people are prepared for any attack which may be made upon them. After the burning of the house at Tenth street and Morton avenue this morning, the Colored people feared that the mob which was seeking the Negro might make an assault—The mob, however had no intention of visiting the Negro quarters. A Marmon car with several Negroes in it dashed up and down Fifth street and Muskogee avenue early this morning and the occupants fired shots into the air. A disturbance occurred among a number of Negroes on the east side, according to a report to the police, and one Negro was shot. The volley of shots which resulted from this affray alarmed a number of Okmulgee residents who heard it. The Negroes have armed themselves in self defense, Officer Cowan stated but at 3 o'clock this morning the streets were practically deserted and the city was quiet. A small portion of the mob was still on guard at the court house, however, at that hour, although it had been searched twice. A call for a mass meeting of the men of Okmulgee in the district court this morning at 3 o'clock to devise ways and means to make Okmulgee safe for women, the averting a lynching by prompt action of Sheriff Henry S. Tucker in removing the suspect to Muskogee on the way to McAlester, and a mass meeting of Negroes which adopted resolutions denouncing law violation and especially crimes against women and pledging full cooperation with the white race in the detection and capture of criminals, were high spots yesterday in the situation created by several assaults on white women and brought to a focus by the attempted assault on Miss Helen Armour Friday night by a man of our race The lynching was prevented last night by Sheriff Tucker when he out witted an angry mob in front of the courthouse at the corner of 7th avenue as they were about to rush the county jail in quest of Joe Atchison the Colored man, who had been arrested earlier in the day as the assailant of Miss Helen Armour a well known and highly esteemed young white woman. Only prompt work on the part of the sheriff's forces saved the prisoner from the mob, which had been steadily increasing in front of the courthouse since the falling of darkness. At about 9:30 o'clock, which, strangely enough, was the exact time the Negro is charged with having made his unsuccessful attack on the girl the evening before, the mob about 500 strong, surged over the lawn toward the east courthouse entrance and demanded the prisoner. The movement was partly organized as it is said that guards had been stationed by the mob at the back of the court house to watch any attempt on the part of the authorities to secretly hurry him out of town. Sheriff Tells Mob Suspect is Gone As the mob surged up to the doors Sheriff Tuker, who had evidently been waiting for just such a movement, stepped out and started that the Negro had been removed from the county jail at between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon and taken to Muskogee from where he would be sent on the night flyer to McAlester where he would be kept in the state penitentiary for the time being. The reason he did this, the sheriff said, was because he fully understood that the people of the city had lost patience because of the number of recent assaults on white girls by Colored men, and that he was not sure that Atchison was the right man. He had immediately arranged to get him out of town after his arrest, he said, for fear that the mob would lynch an innocent man. Rev. F. F. Walters, pastor of the First Christian Church, also spoke of the mob and helped quiet them. After hearing the sheriff and the pastor speak the mob immediately bogan dispersing and although there was some talk later of getting automobiles and going to Muskogee after the prisoner. It is not believed the threats were carried out in time to get the prisoner before we was aboard the train bound for McAleister. There was some doubt thrown on the identity of Atchison as being the Negro who attempted the crime through the fact that he had been identified by the girl. Earlier in the day the sheriff had taken the Nergo to the girl's home at 411 W. Twelfth street, but owing to the shock she had sustained he was not allowed to see her. However she described him as wearing a striped shirt and knakti trousers, which description is said to have tailed with Atsemson's clothes when arrested. The attempted crime was one of the most revolting which has occurred in Okmuguee in recent years. 1988 Attour Attacked Miss Armour Attacked Miss Armour, who is the daughter of Win B. Armour, a local pharmacist, is a girl of spouses repudiation, and is well née by all who know her. She attends the Okinugi Business College where she is studying evenings to become a stenographer. On Friday night she ten the business college as usual and was on her way none. She had almost reached it when her assistant jumped from behind and glazed her by the throat. He also forced a cap over her nose and mouth, the attack being made so swiftly she was unable to utter a sound. Her assistant then dragged her through the asey which runs beside her house to the garage just behind it. Although the girls was not unconscious she was nearing insensibility from strangulation when the Negro dragged her into the garage and believing he was about to kill her she feigned unconsciousness. It was this quick-witted action that saved the girl, for the Negro, thinking she was unconscious, removed the cap from her face and released his grip on her throat. The instant he did so she screamed and the Negro immediately fled. She is badly marked from the encounter, there being black and blue marks on her throat and her eyes were blackened. Sheriff Gets Bloodhounds For some reason Sheriff Tucker says, he was not informed of the attempted assault by the police until this morning. He immediately put in long distance calls to Muskogee and Tulsa for bloodhound owners. Muskogee answered first and a pair of hounds reached here shortly before noon. The dogs were taken to the scene of the attempted crime and the Negro's cap which he had left when he fled, was used to start the dogs on a scent. Other evidence which the Negro had left also helped the dogs to pick up the trail as well as indicating that his attempted crime had been well planned. The dogs led the officers two blocks north and straight to Atchison's house at 11th and Morton. There was no one in the house when the police arrived. But the inquiries netted them the information that Atchison lived there and he was employed as a barber in Sheppard's barber shop at 117 East Fifth Street. Arrested in Restaurant Upon going to the shop the police were told that he had left there and was going home to get pair of shoes. About 1:30 the sheriff trailed him to a restaurant, where he was eating dinner. When he was informed that he was under arrest charged with the attempted assault Atchison is reported no to have shown any sign of surprise to have made any resistance. At the barber shop where he worked, J. S. Shepperd the proprietor, said that Atchison had worked for him for about two years and a half and that he had always borne a good reputation as far as he knew. He said he had never known the prisoner to be in any kind of trouble before, and that he had lived in Okmulgue, about three years. When the cap was found in the garage and was brought to him to identify, Shepprd said he had never seen Atchison wearing such a cap. He said that Atchison usually wore a grey cap or a hat. The cap the police brought for him to identify, Sheppard said was green. Negroes Adopt Resolutions At a mass meeting of Colored citizens held at the office of Wallace and Stephens yesterday, which meeting was presided over by D. J. Wallace, the following resolutions relative to recent and flagrant violations of the law, were unanimously adopted and pledges made to carry out the spirit of the same: "Whereas, there appears to be a reign of crime and law violation spreading over the country and threatening the fair name of our city, and including in its wake assaults and attempted assaults upon women, thereby making it unsafe for women of any race; and, "Whereas, joints and loafing dens are the breeding places of these crimes, and vagrants and perpetrators thereof. "Resolved, therefore, that we express ourselves as unalterably opposed to crimes of any kind, and of assaults in particular, and do hereby subscribe our portion of thecitizenship of Okmulgee as hereby and herein pledged to exert every effort on our part to prevent the perpetrators hereof, and secure their conviction and punishment by a just action of the law thereby preventing any probability of the fair name of our city and state being further disgraced." The resolutions were signed by the following; J. A. Roper, chairman W. . Fort, principal Dunbar school secretary; Dr. A. M. Carpenter, E. R. Tyler, barber; M. C. Hayes, real estate dealer; D. J. Wallace lawyer; R. S. Gamble, lawyer; C. A. Brooks, merchant; J. B. Thompson, plumber R. E. Fuller, barber; J. M. White, physician; O. Douglas, merchant, E. M.

C., Oct. 7. -On the 18th and 19th of November the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will hold its annual meeting at Washington, D. C. This will be a convocation of teachers throughout the United States now giving attention to research and instruction in this eld. The management of the Association is endeavoring to make this meeting one of the most representative ever assembled. The purpose of this organization is to collect sociological and historical documents, to publish books on Negro life and history, to promote studies in this field through clubs and schools and finally to bring about more harmony between the races by interpreting the one to the other. The reports of the work accomplished by the Association during the past year will be made, further plans for the more successful prosecution of the work will be devised, and a number of instructive addresses will be delivered by the most distinguished men of the country. Among the speakers will be A. B. Hart, Professor of History at Harvard University; Franz Boas, Professor of Ethnology, Columbia University; L. Hollingsworth Wood, President of the Urban League; Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor of the Nation, and Col. Robert T. Kerlin of the Virginia Military Institute. These addresses will cover every phase of Negro life and history. During the past year the Association has succeeded in extending the circulation of the Journal of Negro History, stimulated research in this long neglected field and published a number of informing works of a serious scientific nature. How this movement may be more successfully promoted so as to direct attention to this large group of population in this country and abroad will be one of the important questions before the association. The Association was organized in Chiacgo, September 9, 1915, incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, October 3, 1915, brought out the Journal of Negro History January 1, 1916, and since that time has extended its circulation into all parts of the world. The important results have been to direct the attention of investigators to the study of the Negro and to secure for the race a hearing in circles sometimes considered exclusive. The movement needs a decided increase in revenue to extend the work b employing trained investigators and adequate funds for publishing the results of their researches. To this end the co-operation of all is earnestly solicited. Persons not in a position to make large contributions can support the movement to the extent of an active membership fee of $3.00 a year or can give a subscription to the Journal of Negro History which is only $2.00 a year.

One of the mo.t remarkable utterances yet made and which carries a quotation from one of the Japanese newspapers, has been published by the Chicago Tribune. The dispatch comes from Tokio, and says: "A section of the Japanese press is growing more vitriolic toward America despite the urgings of many publicists for calmness. The Yorodzu, a prominent opposition paper, in commenting editorially on the fact that the Los Angeles Times has joined theSan Francisco press in an anti-Japanese policy, says Americans are now attempting to force Japan to fight whether she likes it or not. In part the tditorial said: "We never dreamed that America would go to such length of selfishness and aggression so soon after the war. We are unable to remain calm when the United States is showing herself to be such a hypocrite, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a monster masqueradling as an angel. "After trampling Haiti andl San Domingo under foot she now attempts interference in Saghalien, incites a revolt in Corea and stirs up hostility on the part of China toward Japan. At such a rate America's attitude to Japan will soon be worse than it is to the blacks. It is no wonder that Japanese blood has reached the boiling point.' "The Kokumin demands that publicity be given to every step in the present negotiations, saying that nothing can be gained in keeping the nation ignorant of America's intentions." STRIKES TERROR NO LONGER Virginians Forget That Uncle Sam Overseas Taught Us to Fear No White Man (Afro-American-Baltimore) It is a reviving of this kind of an organization that is now contemplated in Virginia. Fortunately the name of Ku Klux strikes terror to the hearts of Colored people no longer. They have gone through the World War and the race riots in Chicago, Omaha and Washington. For all the unhealthy places to start up race antagonisms we pick the State of Virginia. Virginia is too far North to agree with the Southern program of disfranchisement and too far South to attempt to do without it. It is a splendid place to stage a riot, and reviving Ku Klux Klanism is the way to go about it. THE Wing A RES —a place family will ing, because forts, and and sociab produces o ily.

Leavenworth LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Oct. 5- Three men were injured severely early today in a fight between about 300 white and Colored soldiers stationed at the local military establishment, according to an announcement late today. At the army hospital, it was said that the injured, two white soldiers and one Colored trooper would recover. The fight is said to have started last night when a Colored soldier pushed a white one off the sidewalk of a down town street Later the disturbance became general and continued until about three o'clock this morning. White soldiers raided a pool hall and obtained billiard cues with which to carry on the fight. The disturbance was not quelled until the provost guard was summoned from Fort Leavenworth. The white soldiers involved, military authorities said, are a part of the regular garrison at the fort. The Colored soldiers are members of a service battalion attached to general service schools.

B. Stradford of this city, who have been visiting friends in the east all summer, has returned to Tulsa. Mr. Stradford is proprietor of the hotel here bearing his name and considerable other property. Both have enjoyed the trip and both are glad to get back to dear old Tulsa. Prof. A. D.

Prof. Delaney's first work consisted in training teachers for the year's work. His many friends wish him success in his new field. A number of Tulsans attended the Muskogee fair this week. MUSKCGEE. OKLAHOMA South's Ku-Klux Klans Organizing Richmond, Va., Oct. 8—"Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, organized here a few days ago, met 'somewhere in Richmond' for the purpose of taking into the order a number of men who have signified their desire to join. The order, an organizer stated, will total in membership here more than 10,000 within few weeks. At the present time there are more than 200 accredited members. Five men are in charge of the organization work here which is said to be going on all over the state. A number of new members were initiated in some secret meeting place in the downtown section. The order follows the customs of the old Klan formed just after the war between the States, in that it initiates new members under the fiery cross, it is declared." This is only one of similar notices that have been appearing in various daily ewspapers throughout the South in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia and other states. If it is calculated to fill the people of our group with alarm it has met with dismal failure. Here in this community there is being organized: "The Black Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of America,' with avowals just as strong as the mysterious klanites of the other side. The newspapers of Alabama, and particularly Birmingham seemed to have been very anxious to give the history of the Ku Klux Klan organization for the benefit of its readers Here is the story as given out: "The knights of the Ku Klax Klan which it is claimed is a patriotic, spiritualistic fraternal order, has been in the making for the last 18 years, the idea perpetrating the principles upon which the old Ku Klax Klan was founded having originated in the mind of Col. Wm J. Simmons, Professor of Southern History at Lanier University in Atlanta. Col. Simmoss dedicated his life to this cause and for fourteen years he thought, studied and worked to prepare himself for launching this institution. In October, 1915, he mentioned his ambition to some friends, among whom were three men who were bonafide members of the original klan of the reconstruction plan. On the night of October 26, Col. Simmons met with these friends and after he had unfolded his plans all those present—34 in number—signed a petition for a charter. On Thanksgiving night in 1915 the orgaizers of the klan assembled on the top of Stone Mountain, near Atlanta and there at midnight, under a blaz- PAGE THREE nis OMPANY ing fiery cross, they took the oath of allegiance to the invisible empire knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Since there were still three members of the old organization among the group the state of Georgia issued them a charter which gives them all the rights and privileges of the old and defunct order, that is they presumably are licensed again to pilage and burn and terrorize under cover of darkness anyone who incurs their enmity, with Negroes their object in particular. The original Ku Klux Klan claims to have been the chief intercessor in retorting to the white people of the South and to dominance of that type of anger it from the so-called armed bigger and the Nazi claims as its purpose the follow ideals, "to incultate the sacred principles and noble ideal's of chivalry the development of character protection of the home and the chastity of womanhood. Their application blank reads "Only native born white Americans who believe in the tenets of the Christian religion and owe no allegiance to any foreign government, sect, people or persons are eligible to membership. Prof. A. D. Delaney, well known known educator and former banker of Muskogee, passed through here Wednesday enroute to Bristow, Oklahoma in important business. Mr. Edgar H. Manning of Bartlesville passed through the city Thursday enroute to Muskogee to attend the fair and visit his sister, Mrs. James R. Blaine.

October. 16. 1920. September 28th the Hon. Richa the Rev. September 28th--Between the Hon. Richard J. Hill and the Rev. H. T. S. Johnson Following is the full text of the recent debate at the convention hall between Hon. Richard J. Hill and Rev. H. T. S. Johnson, as reported by a special court stenographer: Between Mr. Richard J. Hill and Rev. H. T. S. Johnson at Convention Hall in the city of Tulsa, State of Oklahoma, on the 28th day of September, A. D. 1920, on the subject: "BESOLVED THAT THE TEACHINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BIBLE STUDENTS SHOULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE DOCRINE OF THE DENOMINATIONS" MR. A. J. SMITHERMAN: The audience is requested to sing "Christ the Solid Rock." Number one. (Thereupon, at the conclusion of the song the following proceedings were had:) MR. SMITHERMAN: We will have prayer now by Reverend Johnson, after which we will request the ministers present to step upon the stage. (Thereupon the audience is led in prayer by the Rev. Johnson at the conclusion of which ministers of the gospel came forward for seats on the stage.) THE BROADWAY MENKIN MILL MR. SMITHERMAN: "You are fully aware, of course, that this is the day of the debate between Rev Johnson and Mr. Hill and the subject of this debate is, "Resolved that the teachings of the International Bible Students should be substituted for the Doctrine of the Church Denomination." Mr. Hill in this debate, takes the affirmative and Rev. Johnson the negative. Mr. Hill has the affirmative and will consume forty minutes for the opening. Rev. Johnson has the Negative and will open his side of the question with forty-five minutes; then Mr. Hill, the affirmative, will take twenty minutes for rebuttal and Irev. Johnson will make the remainder of his hour and fifteen minutes in closing. Then he will be followed by Mr. Hill who will close. I will now introduce to you Mr Hill, Richard J. Hill will now take up the affirmative." MR. HILL: "I beg to remind you dear friends, that the human race has reached the point upon the stream of time when the battle is raging as never before between justice and injustice, truth and error, and soon injustice and false teachings will go down in defeat, never to rise again. The subject for discussion tonight is, "Resolved that the teachings of the international Bible Students should be substituted, in the main, for what the Church Denominations teach." In my attempt to show you why the teachings of the International Bible Students should be substituted for what the Church Denominations teach, I will discuss the subject under four different heads subject under four general headings, to wit: First, God's character; second, DEBATE Invention Between Hard J. Hill and H. T. S. Johnson His plan for human salvation; third, His promises; fourth, the fulfillment of His promises. Now first, as concerning God's character, He would have His human creatures to understand that they can look to Him as the very highest conceivable standard of justice, power, love and wisdom. God tells us in Isaiah 55:8-9 that, "My thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways, for as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." By this statement, Jehovah would have us get the thought fully into our minds that our highest conception of justice, power, love and wisdom is as far below His standard as the earth is below the high Heavens. To give you a clear idea of the thought intended to be conveyed in the Scripture just cited, I remind you that the boundary of the physical Heavens has never been reached by the most powerful telescope of to-day. When man invents his most powerful instrument and points it into the physical heavens, piercing millions and millions of miles of space, what does he find? ЛЕВИКОВ ТРА Instead of finding the boundary of the physical Heavens, he learns that the more $ \mathrm{m e} $ powerful the telescope used, the more realms of endless space in the physical Heavens open before his gaze. What should this teach us concerning the character of God? We $ \mathrm{W e} $ should apply the measure He gives us and find out. He gives us an earthly illustration as to the distance between the boundaries of His noble character and the very best there is of His human creatures. Just as the physical Heavens is an immeasurable distance above the physical earth, so is the character of God a measureless distance above that of the very best of mankind. Depraved humanity, with all of its weakness and short comings, would not for a moment consent to the torture of the worst criminal on earth. Nearly everybody would consent to the death of a wilful red-handed criminal in accordance with the iaw. But no one would sanction his eternal tortment. No where in the civilized world will men allow a law to be placed upon the statute books permitting the lasting torture of criminals Remember, that death does not mean tortment. Torment carries the idea of keeping one alive in a sense for the purpose of inflicting misery and great injury. Who would dare put God's' characters for justice and love below that of a fallen humility? No one but the representatives of the Church Dionominations would do such a thing. They claim that God, foreknowing all things planned that the wicked, after death, should be tormented throughout all eternity. Such teachings by the Church Denominations represent Gol as having Cintinuedl on page 5 MEN OUR STORE OFFERS YOU Standard MERCHA at very Reason For Your Own Use and Benefit You to the St Standard Made MERCHANDISE Very Reasonable prices For Your Own Personal Good Benefit You Are Invited to the Store of at very Reasonable prices.

PROPERTY ages. NY city property, Als Shops, Pool Hall Wichita, Kansas FULL TEXT OF DEBATE IN CONVENTION HALL Continued from page 4 a character for love and justice far below that of the worst of humanity. A son is supposed to show, in a large degree, the character, spirit and disposition of his father. A true Christian is a spiritual son of God and he is supposed to develop more and more of the character like ness of God, his Father. If the teachings of the Church Denominations are true, then the mob who delight with helish grim to hear the groans of their helpless victim white struggling in the flames, would represent the elect of God. And, why do I say this? Because, if it is true that Jehovah, God, delights to torment sinners throughout eternity, then the mob which only had the power to torture its victim for a short time would be showing their father's spirit to the extent of their ability. It is hari to lo anything much worse to a person than to misrepresent his character. All the Denominations misrepresent the character of God in that they claim that God planned that a saintly few should go to Heaven while the billions of humanity spend eternity in a hell of fire and brimstone tormented by fire-proof devils. There is no Scripture foundation for the doctrine of eternal torment. This doctrine is based upon the false idea that when one dies he is not dead. There is but one plain statement in the Bible which seeming supports the idea that the dead is not dead. It is found in Genesis 3:4 and reads thus, "Ye shall not surely die." This statement was made by the devil for the sole purpose of misrepresenting the character of God. The devil intended to impress and did impress our fore-parents that God could not be depended upon and did not tell the truth when he said to them if they disobeyed His law, they would surely die. n other words, the devil told our fore-parents that God was lying. All the Denominations with few exceptions, about a person that remains alive and can be punished after death. By this teaching, the Denominations are saying the selfsame thing that the devil said, "That man surely does not die," and therefore they are guilty of openly calling God a liar, whether intentionally or not. What is death? What is the meaning of the term? What did God mean when He told our fore-parents they would die if they disobeyed His law? These are very logical questions at this point. God answers all these questions himself through the Scriptures. He tells us that when a man dies, he is unconscious, has no memory, cannot speak cannot breathe, cannot think, cannot give thanks, can do no work, neither loves, hates or envies; has no feelings and knows not anything. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10: Psalms 6:5; 115:17; 104:29; 146:4 According to God's own word, as shown in the Scriptures just cited there is nothing left of a man to be burned or tormented after he is dead. The would-be wise preachers of the Church Denominations tell the people that it is the soul of a man that is blessed or punished after death. This, then, of necessity brings up the question as to what is the soul? A soul is a moving, breathing sentient being, that has sense and exercises those senses. Man is a soul. Man has not got a soul, but man himself is a soul. There is quite a difference between a man having a cow and being a cow. Every creature that breathes is a soul. God applied the words "Living souls" to the lower order of animals long before the creation of man. Genesis 1:20-30, marginal reading. The word "soul" is applied to both man and beast in Numbers 31:28. God declares that both man and beast die alike and go to the same place. The Scripture reads thus, "For that which befelleth the beast; even one thing befalleth them, as the one dieth so dieth the other; yea they have all one breath; so that man hath no pre-eminence above a beast for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." Ecceistastes 3:19-20. My opponent, to be consistent, in view of the Scripture just cited, is forced to do one of the two things and that is, he must either denounce his claim that the wicked dead are tormented throughout eternity, or take the position that the bad ox, mule or horse will roast throughout eternity and the good ones will go to a Heaven of eternal bliss with man because the Scripture plainly says that both man and beast have one breath,—have the same breath and go to the same place. To what place lo both mn and beast go? That place do both man and beast go. That condition of non-existence, the same place Capernum went. The principal difference between man and beast is, first, man is created with finer organism and therefore capable of doing higher and more mobile thinking. Second, God has made arrangements for the resurrection of man while no such an arrangement has been made for the brute beast. From where will man come when resurrected? From the "Dust of the earth," Daniel 12:2. THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, October. 16, 1920. Again, some of the wise Denominational teachers claim that it is the spirit of life that lives on after man is dead and that it is the thing that is blessed with a life of endless bliss or cursed with endless torment, but I wish to say that such claim is wholly without foundation for truth, for the reason that the phrase, "spirit of life" or "breath of life" simply means invisible power. (I would like to have a little water, if possible.) In other words, it means the power God has given it. When we read in Excelsiastes 12:7 that the spirit returns to the God that gave it, we are to understand this to mean that the power to live or to be resurrected to life again after death, returns to the one who first gave it and no one can live again until God in His due time, uses this spirit or power of life in their benefit. The Gospel Age was opened up for the sole purpose of selecting and qualifying the officers who are to serve in the spirit phase of the incoming Kingdom. It was not God's plan to convert the world during the Gospel Age. God has appointed a day in which to judge the worldin righteousness, Acts 17:31, and the length of the day in which man is to be judged is one thousand years. (2nd Peter 3:7-8.) Just at this point it might be well for me to explain the meaning of the word "Church." The word "Church" means a called out class; it comes from the word "Ecclesia." It is composed of Jesus, the head and the members of his body (Colossians 1:8) (Just here I will have to stop a moment until I get a drink of water.) REV. H. T. S. JOHNSON: Friends while we are waiting for our friend to get a drink of water let us sing "Guide Me O My Great Jehovah" somebody who can sing start it out. (Thereupon the song entitled, Guide Me O My Great Jehovah" is now sung by the audience.)

We believe in the principles of true Democracy as promulgated by the patriot, Thomas Jefferson, and without fear or favor, we will be found at all times fighting for an honest, impartial application of these principles to all men regardless of race or color. ED CROSSLAND IS AFRAID that Tom Owens and Luther Harrison, in insisting that the Negro question is the paramount national issue, are going to offend the Tulsa Star which, he says, is the only democratic paper in Tulsa. —Tulsa World, Oct. 12. And so it does.—Editor. THE COLORED PEOPLE of Tulsa County will not be misled by republican politicians. They have learned enough about the local G. O. P. bunch and they do not care for further experience with them. IF YOU ARE UNDECIDED about which ticket to vote in the County election, just talk to some of the old timers here who know the history of the two partie in Tulsa. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS gives to Liberia the Colored Republic, the same protection that it offers England, France, the United States or any other nation member, otherwise it would not be worth the paper it is written on. And for this very reason we are for the League and James M. Cox. EX-PRESIDENT TAFT is meeting himself coming back on the League of Nations question. Two years ago, he was for the League teeth and toenails, article 10 and all the other articles, and traversed the country defending the Covenant and pleadisg with the American people to adopt it. Now, he says he is not for the League in its present form but is for Harding's "Association of Nations." Now, will some one kindly tell us the difference in a League of Nations and an "Association of Nations?" As a matter of fact, Mr. Taft is not opposed to the League of Nations, because he knows it is the best thing in sight for the world and the world is going to have it—sooner or later; but he seems to be with other Republican leaders whose ambition is not to prevent the League of Nations—that is impossible—but to try to keep the democratic administration from getting credit for it. But the people will doubtless refuse to be fed this mushy Taffy. JUDGE W. B. WILLIAMS is just the kind of a man the better element of people in Tulsa County want for County Judge, and by all that's good and graceful they are going to have him, along with the other democratic candidates in spite of the G. O. P. slush fund. CONGRESSMAN HOWARD has invaded the amp of his enemy and came away as a conqueror. Those who know the Congressman and who can recall the fruitless term of friend "Bert" in Congress, will vote to return to Washington not "Bert" Chandler, but E. B Howard—"the man who does things." WELL, IT'S HERE AGAIN! It always bobs up in every national election to mislead the unsuspecting or ignorant class of white people and to embarrass and offend the intelligent, thoughtful class of Colored people—this infernal Race Question. The better element of white people, like the better element of Colored people disdain the practice of petty politeicians of injecting the race question in our political campaigns and all good citizens must deplore the inevitable resultant evils. The question is too distasteful to the fair minded public spirited man or woman to admit of any long drawn out discussion. There are those of both races who had cherished the hope that our political campaigns had passed the stage of scallawagism and that the pet trick of unscrupulous politicians had died a natural death. But they must be disappointed to learn that we still have it with u. However, the revival of the old time-worn question is ample proof that no question can be permanently settled until it is settled right. We dismiss the question with this thought: If bad republicans and bad democrats can be held in check long enough, the good democrats assisted by the good republicans will settle the question to the satisfaction of all good citizens. The recent decisions of the U. S. democratic Suprem Court confirms this opinion. SENATOR HARDING put out another bait for the Colored vote in Oklahoma City Saturday when he said: "you can't give one right to the white man and deny the same right to the black man," which sounds well and would have been accepted for face value had he not cotinued: "But that doesn't mean that the white man and the black man must be forced to associate in the acceptance of their rights." The latter sentence is a qualification of the first one and evidences the fact that the republicas sominee is not averse to Jim Crowism. The thoughtful Colored man will not swallow this dope. We are all familiar with both the cause and the effect of existing conditions in the Southland—and we will not stand to be half fed with the long handle spoon Harding is using in his efforts to beguile and capture the Colored vote. This incident will doubtless add to the gradually increasing ranks of the Colored democracy. AFTER ALL, it's up to YOU, as to the succes you make in life, if you are not succeeding, it's your own fault. Maybe you didn't start right. Better start over again. THERE IS ANY AMOUNT OF FUN in minding your own business; it's the firt rule of success. It makes other folks like you and increases your earning capacity 100 per cent. PAGE EIGHT A. J.

Talk about politics, the present to do the work efficiently and to Superintendent, Miss Helen Fichitl, the present Sheriff, Mr. Bruce add the County Clerk, Judge Speakman should all be re-elected. I am sure that they will lead the Democratic ticket in Creek County at the coming election. Any how the people give them the credit of being able to do the work efficiently and to be friendly and courteous to all. Remember the Northern band that went to Ft. Smith, playing. We care not for your cotton, we care not for slaves, but rather divide this beautiful landl, we will sleep in a Southern grave. You are in the south born and raised, then why fight and vote against your interest? Be like Ponce, when the whites were going to kill him in Florida for the Indian uprising he said I would go to the East but the sea of darkness is before me. I would fly to the North but King Phillips armies are before me, I would fly to the west but th father of waters is before me, would fly to the South but the hot waters of the Gulf are before me, so here have I lived and Should We Vote the Democratic Ticket? Should We Vote the Democratic Ticket? Prof. O, T. Willis of Bristow Write Interestingly Matters of Pertinent Interest to all Colored People of the State (Star Special Letter) (Star Special Letter) Bristow, Okla., Oct. 12—The first person I should feel called to give answer to the above question is: That we are here in the South among Democrats who have an overwhelming hold on the power of the courts, financial affairs, and the land, and it cannot be denied that with possibly very few exceptions in this great state of Oklahoma we are granted as a rule a pretty fair and square deal in all of these fields. We have evidences of the truth of this on all sides. We have capable Colored attorney's achieving success in the courts; we have banks and Colored men and women exercising wide influence in financial circles; finally, we have Colored farmers and owners of oil, gas and coal lands which place many of them in the millionaire class. Would it not be fine for some of our Republican friends to point out similar conditions under Republican influences somewhere or anywhere in the United States. It is an impossibility for them to do so. Then, take our educational opportunities. Each year, we have from seven to nine months school for Colored children, and at the same time the State maintains an institution at Langston which is replete with every facility for the higher literary, scientific and industrial training. But suppose the authorities would say: "Down with the Negro Schools," it would be done and the schools would close sine die. But the sentiment is favorable to the continuance of our schools and in many sections special effort is made under Democratic auspices to improve them. Were the Colored people split politically, some voting the Democratic and others the Republican tickets it would have a bearing on Lynching. Because when a Colored man is lynched now, virtually, nothing is gone. But if a voter was gone, Lynching would stop to an extent. The Republicans think they have a deedle on the Colored man and own him soul and body as far as voting is concerned, but 1 am glad to note that in many quarters we are throwing off this yoke and taking our places along with other full fledged citizens of other races. The Toledo Blade in 1878 printed a transposition of Dr. watt's great Hymnal written by a Carpet Bagger" who had held a fat job for four years, he wrote thusly: "A charge to keep I have, A Negro to maintain And every dying thrust for power, To bifd him with a chain. To serve the present age Our pockets we must fill We will make him vote on promise still Andl nsver pay the bill. Arm us with zealous care To make him know his place (in politics) And Oh, thy servant Lord prepare To rule the Negro Race. "Help us to rob and cheat The Negro on the sly As sure as they don't vote for us They shall forever die. O. T. WILLIS. THE SCOTTISH RITE DEGREES CONFERRED (Continued from Page 1) B.
