VOLUME X WEALTHY NEW YORKERS LAUNCH BIG FINANCIAL PROJECT (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Dec. 30.—A project is on foot to open a stock exchange in Harlem for the trading in securities of corporations owned and managed by Colored people. The proposed name is the Harlem Stock Exchange. The sponsors of the proposed institution are said to be negotiating for a building at Seventh Avenue and 138th St. The plan calls for the issuance of $100,000 stock in the corporation managing the exchange—$25,000 common and $75,000 preferred. The par value will be $5 a share. There are said to be more than 100 corporations in New York owned by and selling securities to Colored people. Banks, real estate companies and other business are included. OKLAHOMA FARMERS SELL COTTON FOR LESS THAN OTHER STATES Growers' Association Has Remedy Oklahoma farmers were receiving 4 cents per pound less for their cotton the first of this month than the average price paid throughout the United States, according to figures of the federal bureau of crop estimates. The average for the entire country on that date was 14 cents per pound, while Oklahoma farmers received but 10.5 cents average. Surrounding states were receiving more than Oklahoma. The Arkansas average was 13.3 cents; Tennessee, 13 cents, and Texas, 13.2 cents. Oklahoma's production was estimated at 1,300,000 bales. "The above figures indicate that the selling end of the Oklahoma cotton farmer's business is mighty sick," says C. L. Stealey, secretary of the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' Association, with headquarters at 414 Empire Building, Oklahoma City. "And right here is where this Association takes a hand. By pooling the cotton by grade, class and staple, storing it in their own warehouses and hiring the best available marketing expert to find a market for their crop, members of the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' Association are going to very considerably raise the average price received for Oklahoma's cotton crop as it will be announced in the 1921 and succeeding reports. "Organization is progressing rapidly in all counties in which we have been able to carry our message. It is only a question of letting the folks know about the plan." JAP STARTS RACE RIOT (By The Associated Negro Press) Sydney, Australia, Dec. 30—An armed Japanese, claiming racial equality, ran an attack in Broome, Western Australia, the center of the pearling industry, where large numbers of Japanese are employed. In a general riot which followed two Japanese were killed and a number of others were wounded. Two white policemen were injured. Later the riot act was read and all whites were sworn in as special constables. They were quickly organized and armed and, under army officers, began patrolling the town and disarming all Japanese.

(Gooseeck Bill) McDonald, in memory of his son, who died about three years ago. The shaft is thirty-one feet high, of polished granite and cost $12,000. It was made by a Chicago concern, whose manager, Josef Rittemeyer, is THE TULSA STAR clined to order a trial in the civil courts of Cadus Bellgrade, whose conviction by an American military court on charges of murder and cannibalism recently was set aside by the navy on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. Bellgrade was found guilty largely on the evidence of Haitians of the killing of a young girl as a human sacrifice at a "voodoo" performance. President Dartiguenave had approved the trial by American authorities. The navy was advised today that he now is unwilling to proceed against Bellgarde in the Haitian courts because of the belief that he could not be convicted. At the time of his arrest Bellgarde informed his followers that if executed he would return to Haiti as a mosquito to make it merry for the marines. Ax Falls On Colored Officer Because he expressed objection to white officers working in the Colored section of the city over the Colored officers employed and confined to that part of the city by the present city administration, Stalie Webb, patrolman, incurred the disfavor of his superiors and was summarily dismissed from the police force early this week. It seems that white officers have been spending much of their time in the Colored section seenting petty criminals while the Hi-Jackers helped themselves to downtown foot. Many of the bold hold-ups in downtown districts and other white settlements might have been averted had these white officers been alert on the job instead of disturbing the peace of the Colored settlement.

A. of Tulsa won from the Okmulgee Y. M. C. A., 13 to 0, in a hard fought game Christmas day. The game was well played by both teams, but the fast eleven of Tulsa was just too much for the opposing eleven. About 400 fans witnessed the best game of the season, and every one turned away happy, for most of the fans were anxious to see the fast eleven. There is no doubt the Y. M. C. A. of Tulsa has the best team in the Southwest. By using Walker and Flemings at ends, are the best two ends in the state. Rankens and Nearo playing the tackles, which every one knows they are the best. Adair and Cherry, the stone-wall guards; Dewey Davison in the center. This is his first year of playing football and he is about the best center Tulsa has had. Mann, the huge fullback, who for some years has held his own in the position, Collins in the quarter back, who the Y. M. C. A. thinks is the best quarter back in the world. Then comes the two half backs, Lewis and Whitlow, the best two back field men in the tate. This team will play any team any time, at any place, for they believe they are the best going. The line up.

"In the jail at Wise is a Negro named Williams, charged with assault and robbery of an aged man. On Sunday a mob stormed the jail and attempted to take Williams from the authorities. The mob was ugly and of no mean proportions. Other sheriffs might have opened the doors to the jail or unceremoniously set Williams out on the front porch to the would-lynchers. But not Sheriff Corder. "In the first attack upon the jail one man, said to have been the leader of the mob, was killed by the defenders; and the enraged storming party was repelled. Later the sheriff mounted a machine gun on the steps of the jail and ordered his men to 'shoot to kill if further attacks were made. "Of course, the lives of the members of the mob were undoubtedly more valuable to society than the life of the misfeable criminal whom the sheriff protected. But the sheriff is placed in office to uphold the law. The law says that this Negro shall have a air trial. The law denies to the people the right to summary punishment of an accused man. "Sheriff Corder may have lost the vote of every man in the mob that stormed the jail, but in doing so he strengthened the fiber of American government by detrimently battling the bane of democracy in the southern states—lynch law. HAVE WE TOO, REACHED THIS STAGE OF DEPRAVITY? (By the Associated Negro Press). Pursis, Miss., Dec. 29.—Colored men are believed to be responsible for the latest lynching in this state.

He had been released on bonds the day before in connection with the murder of a fifteeneny-car-old girl. He had been released on bond the day before in connection with the murder of a fifteeneny-war-old girl. He had been charged with the betrayal of the girl and later, when her mutilated body was found in a nearby swamp, he was arrested on suspicion of being the slayer. He was nevertheless, released on bond by the local authorities, and the finding of his bullet-riddled body dangling from the limb of a tree followed. News Flashes to Be Seen On the Screen MONTHLY SERIAL PICTURES TO TELL PROGRESS OF DARKER RACES OF THE WORLD Washington, D. C., Dec. 30.—J. Williams Clifford, President of the Monumental Pictures Corporation, recently signed a contract with the Seaboard Film Corporation of New York City for world distribution of the Monumental Monthly, a news reel to be released each month, picturing the achievements of the American Negro in this country and the progress of the darker races of the world. "The educational and inspirational news that this news reel will give to the masses of Colored people in this country is beyond estimation. Each month you will have an opportunity to see on the screen, members of our own race that have achieved success along all lines of endeavor, and there will be an opportunity for propaganda in the interest of my people." Lieutenant Clifford said when interviewed by a newspaper - correspondent. He further states that it will be the intention of the executives of the Monumental Pictures Corporation not only to place the pictures in every house in this country catering to Colored patronage, but also to work up the best foreign distribution possible for the film. An effort will also be made to have this film show in white houses in the northwestern and northeastern parts of the country. News events, important gatherings, and special affairs will be filmed along with the most prominent men of the hour, and will be presented by highly trained men in the motion picture industry. Mr. Clinton further stated that just as the Pathe News has brought to millions of Americans glimpses of different parts of the world, and men and women who stand out pre-eminent as leaders in world affairs, the Monumental Monthly will be an American institution that will draw the masses of the Negroes in this country closer together and fill them with pride and honor at the success and accomplishments of their brothers in educational, social, political, business and financial fields. Many congratulatory letters have been poured into Mr. Clifford's office complimenting the executives of the Monumental Pictures Corporation upon this notable achievement.

THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL TORMENT AND MONEY COLLECTING IN CHURCHES Are the Most Blasphemous of God's Character Than All Other Errors Combined. The doctrine of eternal torment was introduced by Papacy to scare the pagans and make them join her system and support her: Priesthood. it flourished at a time when bull fights and gladiatorial contests were the public amusements most enjoyed. This doctrine of eternal torment flourished when the crusaders were called Holy wars, and whiten men and women were called heretics and often slaughtered for speaking contrary to the teachings of papacy. The majority of the clergy have spent and are yet spending most of their tmz searing the people into the churches, telling them to join and escape eternal torment and when the people get into the churches and put their names on the roll, they are made to understand that the Lord wants them to keep up their various church dues, including a fat salary to the parson build the church houses, etc. They are further made to undtrstand that if they fail in these duties will be turned out of the church where the devil will get them and roast them and torment them throughout eternity. The poor people have been taught and made to believe that the Lord needs their money in order to carry out his plans. Dear friends. I want to brand this money collecting in the name of the Lord as blasphemous to His Righteous name. The Lord does not need your puny dimes and dollars to carry out His Great Plan. This money collecting business in the churches and for the churches is a man-made institution. I am fully aware that there are Scriptures which are being misrepresented gy the clergy so as to make it appear that the collection of money in the churches is authorized by the Bible. Some of the Scriptures used are the Jewish custom of giving one-tenth, which has no application in this Gospel Age, also the Scripture statement "Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn" which only means that a preacher should have the same opportunity to make a living as anybody else and that while he is giving all his time to advancing God's truth (not lies) be entitled to the absolute necessities of life—place to sleep and food to eat and no more. Preachers are not to be a burden to the poor people in no way, shape, form or fashion. Instead of being a burden to the people the true servants of God should go and work with their hands to support themselves and be able to give to those less fortunate.(2 Thes. 3:6-15). Paul worked with his own hands that he might not be a burden to the people. The case where Christ had His Disciples to catch a fish and get money out of its mouth and put it in the collection is sometimes held up to the people as Christ approving church collections but nothing is further from the truth than using this scripture in such a way; because Christ only intended to teach His Disciples that it was the best policy for them to pay taxes to whatever government they may live under. I beg to again remind you my friends that the paying of fat salaries to preachers and the building of expensive churches is not recognized by the Lord as work done unto Him. He wants no such work as that. He wants the poor people relieved of their burdens. The only condition under which the giving of money is accepted by the Lord is when it is given voluntarily and for the purpose of relieving the sufferings of the widows and orphans and others of a broken heart, and also money given to aid others in getting in the truth of God's Plan (Not in lies.) Friends, you will agree with me when I remind you that there are many millions of poor people in this land and country who are suffering greatly for the absolute necessities of life and many of whom are living in the very shadow of church houses that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. God is not pleased with such arrangements and in the near future He will dash to pieces this order of things and arrange matters so that the humble hearted and oppressed will come into their own. Reverting to another phase of our suggest I wish to say that the Old Testament Scriptures were written in the Hebrew language and the New Testament in the Greek. The word "Hell" is an English word sometimes selected by translators by the English Bible to express the sense of the Hebrew word SHEOL and the Greek words HADES, TARTAREE and GEHENA. These same words are sometimes rendered "Grave" and "Pit." The word Hell in Old English usage, before the Preachers gave it a new and special significance to suit their own selfish purposes, simply meant to conceal, to cover. The word "Hell" was therefore properly used synonymously with the words "grave" and "Pit" to translate the words SHEOL and HADES as signifying the secret or hidden condition of death. The word Hell occurs 31 times in the Old Testament and in every instance it is Sheol in the Hebrew. It does not mean a lake of fire and brimstone nor anything resembling that thonght; instead of it being de- scribed as a place of blazing fire it is described as a state of darkness, (Job. 10.21); instead of it, being a place where shrieks and groans are neared, it is described in the context as a place of silence or remorse, the context describes it as one of forgetfulness (Psa. 88:11-12). There is no work nor devise nor knowledge in the grave (SHEOL) whether thou goeth (Eccles. 9:10). In Matt. 11:23 is one case where the Greek word Hades is rendered Hell. "And thou Capernaum, which art exalted unto Heaven shall be brought down to to 'Hell;' I hope there is no one so silly as to think that the city of Capernaum with all its inhabitants, buildings etc., are down in Hell roasting in agony. The fact is that Capernaum is in the Bible Hell, is in a condition as if it had never existed. In fact the very sight of where this city once stood is now hard to locate; in other words it is in a condition of non-existence, and that is the real meaning of the Bible Hell. The whole race of mankind, from creation to the present time, at death, go to this Bible Hell to wait the Resurrection Day, which is near even at the door. In the New Testament two other words are rendered Hell; namely, TARTAROO and GEHENNA which we will consider in the order named TARTAROO has reference to the invisible condition of the atmosphere where the Angels that kept not their first estate, before the flood, were cast to wait the Judgment Day. GEHENNA occurs in RICHARD A. R. W. K. RICHARD J. HILL. all, 12 times where it is rendered Hell (Matt. 5.22, 29, 30; 10.38; 18; 9; 23; 11.53, 33; Mark 9.43;47; Luke 12; 5; James 3.6) GEHENNA is the Grecian mode of spelling the Hebrew words which are translated "The Valley of Hinnon." This valley lay just outside of Jerusalem and served the purpose of sewer and garbage burner of the city. Every intelligent minister knows or should know that the greatest punishment God has prescribed for wilful sinners is death everlasting, the second death, a death from which there will never be a resurrection. They also know that Hell and the grave means one and the same thing—oblivion, a state of non existence. They further know that the lake of fire and brimstone mentioned in the Scriptures is symbolic of the second death and is not literal. They are, or should be, fully aware that the Israelites, their laws, customs and principal cities, while they really existed, were typical of greater things to come and that the Old Testament and New Testament writers, including our Lord Jesus, many times used the literal city of Jerusalem and its literal cess-pool, or garbage burner (designated in the Bible as the valley of Hinnon, the lake burning with fire and brimstone) to convey the proper thought concerning the coming kingdom of Righteousness. The thought intended to be conveyed is that when the Lord's Kingdom shall have been established in all the earth; nothing will be allowed to remain in that Kingdom which will hurt or offend the people. According to the rules for the government of the literal city of Jerusalem (made of stone and cement, brick and mortar), all filth was to be consumed. Just so will it be in the anti-typical city, the New Jerusalem, which is not made with hand or hammer. The antitypical cess-pool or lake of fire and brimstone which is to consume the filth of this anti-typical city is not a literal place of literal fire and brimstone but is the second death, (Rev. 19:28; 26:14, 15:21.3). --- THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, January I, 1921 There are many poor persons of humble minds who desire to do the Lord's will but they are kept in darkness by a number of ignorant and selfish persons who are posing as Ministers of God. I am glad to say that quite a number of Ministers over the country are honest enough to acknowledge to their congregation that they have been teaching error. But to those who know not the truth and care less and who continue to do the poor people whose chief aim is to gather in money and make a big show to the world, I warn you that your days wordl I warn you that your days are numbered. The Good Shepherd is near. He will not much longer permit you unfaithful servants to make a business of penning us and fleecing (collecting money from) His sheep. Oh the shame and confusion that will soon cover your faces for propagating the blasphemous doctrine of Eternal Torment when your whole conegation comes to know the justice of God and that the Bible does not teach this GOD DIS-HONORING, TRUTH BE-CLOUDING LOVE EXTINGUISHING, SAINT HINDERING, SINNER-HARDENING, DAMABLE HERESY OF ETERNAL TORMENT (2 Peter 2:1). BICHARD J. HILL. HOWARD PROFESSOR ONE OF SPEAKERS AT MEETING OF AMERICAN ZOOLOGISTS Washington, D. C., Dec. 24—Dr. E. E. Just, Professor of Zoology and Physiology, of the Howard University, Washington, D. C., is to be one of the speakers at the 18th Annual meeting of the Society of New York American Zoologists to be held in the Zoological Building, the University of Chicago, December 28, 29 and 30, 1920. During the three days session, there will be discussions in Comparative and General Physiology, Embryology, Cytology, General Zoology, Comparative Anatomy etc. For the symposium on "Fertilization," six biologists have been invited to speak, including Dr. C.

Kafirs, according to the table, are grown almost entirely in the central and northern parts of the state, as are broom corn, alfalfa and sorghums, canes and sudan. Crop Diversity in Evidence. According to the acreage in crops the central north to south third of the state is agriculturally the most important. A great diversity of crops is raised in this section, but the principal ones, arranged according to acreage, are hay, cotton, corn, oats, broom corn and wheat. The west grows mostly kafirs, broom corn and wheat, while the east is interested principally in hay, oats, corn and cotton. Taking the state in its north to south third, it is found that the north third excels in hay, wheat, kafirs and oats; the central, in hay, cotton, corn, kafirs and oats and the south in hay, cotton, corn and broom corn. 一 Touching upon the appraised valuation of cultivated lands in Oklahoma, the table gave an estimate of $47.00 per acre. As of March, 1920, this figure was $43.01 below the average for the United States; $23,000 below the Kansas average and $40.00 below the average of Missouri. Comperad to the income per acre, Oklahoma's combined crops in 1919 was given at $36.44, or $8.48 more than Kansas and 29 cents more than Missouri. Plow lands increased 24 per cent in the state from 1919 to 1920 as against 75 per cent from 1916 to 1920. Sweet Potatoes Lead In Value. With rainfall averages of from 15 inches in the northwest to 45 inches in the southeastern part of the state and an average growing season ranging from 160 days in the northern part to 180 days in the southern part, of Oklahoma's crops, sweet potatoes return the greatest acre income. Producing approximately 44 per cent of the total United States production, Oklahoma leads the union in broom corn. The combined number of horses and mules has not varied much in Oklahoma since 1910, the data shows, the number of head per farm remaining fairly constant. Cattle, other than milch cows, show a considerable decrease, but the dairy industry has made a marked advance both in number of cows and quality. The newest industry to Oklahoma farmers, that of sheep raising, is becoming "increasingly popular," the report says, although the present state of the wool market has done much to discourage an even better interest in sheep. INCOME TAX REFUNDS SOON 1,000 Checks To Be Paid Here In Next Six Weeks. Approved claims accruing from March and April lists of income tax returns paid to the government from this district, will total approximately 14,000. Refund checks, 2,000 in number, to cover this amount, will be paid through the internal revenue office here within the next six weeks, revenue officials announced. The claims are for excess payments of income taxes and are the result of an audit of income tax returns made by the Oklahoma City office last spring. The government has just approved the figures submitted from the office here. Claims of excess tax payments received at the Oklahoma City revenue office for the year range from one cent to $20,000, officials stated. MAY EXPORT COTTON CROP German Representative Invited To Confer With Growers. Altus.—Members of the Jackson County Cotton Growers' association are considering plans for exporting the 1920 crop to European markets. Plans were discussed at a meeting here for assembling the cotton a Alus, shipping it to a compress where it will be reclassified and shipped to the nearest port. The association would receive 3 per cent to cover the expense of handling. Use Truck For School. Altus.—When it was demonstrated in Jackson county that motor trucks solved the problem of transportation of children to and from the consolidated schools, the day of the "little red school house" was over at Martha, a small town near here. Four districts were consolidated and a modern building erected. Five motor trucks, each with a capacity of forty to sixty children, furnish transportation. The population of Martha is about 400, but the district, as consolidated, has 1,000 people. SLUMP IN CATTLE RECEIPTS Whitehurat Says Producers Sold Early to Escape Further Declines. Oklahoma City.—Curtailment in the livestock production has been deeply felt recently at the Oklahoma City stockyards and, while all leading markets show a considerable loss, the shrinkage here is even more than the average. The average loss in dollars and cents in livestock received in the first eleven months of the year at this market amounted in round figures to $1,000,000 each month. This is based on present market values and the loss in cattle, hogs, and sheep for the year to date. Figured at the high time of the year, the falling off would be considerably greater because the price a pound now is dollars a hundred pounds less than the 1920 peak period a few months back. For the eleven months to December 1, the receipts of cattle totalled 331,145 head, against 468,285 a year ago, a loss of 137,140 head. Calves for the year showed a loss of 31,641 head, the 1920 total being 45,780. In the hog department receipts slumped 115,811 head, the 1920 total being 223,963 head. Sheep receipts of 13,932 head were 5,449 below last year. A heavy loss in horses and mules is shown, this year's total of 5,822 head being 2,650 for the year total 14,993, a loss of 5,811 compared to last year and the smallest total of any year since 1915, while the market's greatest year was 1917 when 27,303 carloads of livestock were received. NO WILL LEFT BY HAMON Ketch Is Named Administrator For Heirs; Bond Fixed at $1,000,000. Ardmore.—Frank L. Ketch has been appointed by M. F. Winrey, county judge, as administrator of the estate of the late Jake L. Hamon. Petition for the appointment of administrator was filed in the county court by Georgia Hamon, widow, 41 years old, Jake L. Hamon, Jr., 18 years old, and Olive Belle, 11 years old. It was stated in the petition that no will was left. The heirs requested the appointment of Mr. Ketch whose bond has been placed at $1,000,000. Mrs. Hamon in the petition said that the value of the estate would exceed $1,000,000. Coalgate.-Clyde Wilburn, 18 year old son of Mrs. Edward Wilbourn, of the Mowdy settlemen, north of Coalgate, is dead, and two companions are reported seriously ill as a result, it is alleged, of drinking poisoned liquor at a neighborhood gathering. STATE HOUSE NEWS Economics Head For State Appointed. Maud Reichmon of Stillwater, a student at Columbia university, was elected state supervisor of vocational home economics by the state board of vocational education. She will be offered the place to begin work at the opening of the second semester of the school year. The place was made vacant a month ago by the resignation of Mabel Potter, who went to Tulsa to make her home with her family there. Plans for rehabilitation of men injured in industry in Oklahoma were approved by the board. The plan is similar to that followed for training of wounded soldiers. It was drawn up by executive officials of the board and provides for co-operation with federal vocational education agencies. Charles D. Maltby of Washington, D. C., auditor of the federal board of vocational education, came here to audit records of the state board. More than $62,000 of federal money and $25,000 appropriated by the state has been spent by direction of the board this year for vocational education in Oklahoma. Maltby stated that books of the board were in perfect condition and that the auditing required only two hours. Durant Aids Auto Tax Drive. Alfred E. Boydstun of Durant has been engaged by Durant to help the state highway department round up automobile owners in Bryan county who have evaded payment of license tax this year, according to word received by the state highway department. Shortage of state money has caused the retirement of all but three state license tax enforcement officers. "There must be about 10,000 car owners in the state who have not paid the license tax," Henry Wood, state highway commissioner, said. "I think we shall catch most of them when the time comes to pay next year's tax. We have no money to pay enforcement officers now. I should like to see other cities and counties follow the example of Durant in coming to help the highway department in a final drive to collect the tax." Transplanted Fish In State Streams. A shipment of 3,000 baby rainbow trout from the Neosho, Mo., hatchery were being placed in three streams in the McCurtain county game preserve by Ben Watt, state game and fish warden. Stocks were being placed in favorable holes in the Mountain Fork river, Eagle Fork creek and Boktuklo creek. Stocking of Oklahoma streams with rainbow trout is an experiment of the present administration THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, January I, 1921 TAKE UP PROBLEMS OF THE FARMERS ASKS REHABILITATION OF FINANCE CORPORATION AS RELIEF MEASURE GERMANY TO GET BIG CREDIT Measures Are Planned To Be Introduced Before Joint Session To Make Available Profits of Banks for Farmers. Washington.—The plight of farmers due to falling prices was taken to congress. Agricultural committees of the senate and house, in joint session began hearings on conditions brought about by falling prices preliminary to devising relief measures. They decided to ask Secretary Houston and Governor Harding of the federal reserve board to come before them after Eugene Meyer Jr., former head of the war finance corporation, had declared that rehabilitation of that body would go a long step toward furnishing the desired relief by financing exports of surplus crops. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska told the conference he planned to introduce measures making available the profits of the federal reserve banks, amounting to about $60,000,000 for loans to agricultural interests. Governor Harding with whom the Nebraska senator conferred issued a statement saying that neither he nor the board had taken any stand on the proposition. He declared he had criticised Senator Hitchcock's plan, but that the matter was one not within the province of the board as it concerned the use of funds which the law required should be paid into the treasury. Legislation extending $1,100,000,000 credit to Germany was advocated before the joint committee by J. J. Brauer of New York, who claimed to represent the German government, while Senator Smoot of Utah announced he would propose an embargo on imports of wool for relief of American wool growers in a bill he will offer. Representative Campbell, of Kansas, suggested that profits of the grain corporation, about $100,000,000 be made available for loans to farmers. The committee was told that the act creating the war finance corporation was passed four months after the armistice and intended by congress to bridge over the situation by financing exports until normal economic conditions were restored. Conditions now were those when congress had in mind in enacting the measure and that restoration of the corporation would have a tremendous stabilizing effect. Opposition of the "re-vamping" of war-time government agencies for peace time operation was expressed in a statement by Senator Edge, republican of New Jersey. He was anxious, he said, to help the farmers and other classes equally, but added that consumers were tired of high prices. LARGE SUM IS RECOVERED Man Arrested in Oklahoma Leads Officers to Cache in Council Bluffs. Omaha, Neb.—Postal Inspector W. P. Coble, of Omaha, announced that Keith Collins, returned from Oklahoma to Council Bluffs in connection with the mail car robbery in the latter city November 14, led federal officers to a cache in Council Bluffs where $23,000 of the loot taken from the train was recovered. The money was all in ten dollar bills according to Inspector Coble, who declined, however, to give the exact location where the booty was recovered, Recovery of this sum, Mr. Coble said, accounts for $50,000 taken, which was the only known shipment of cash on the train. It was being shipped east by a San Francisco bank. According to Mr. Coble, Collins had $500 when he was arrested, had spent $700 in traveling about the country following his disappearance after the robbery, and gave some to his relatives. These sums, with the $23,800 found, made a total of $25,000. In addition to this another $25,000, federal officers report, had been recovered previously in various places in council Bluffs. Collins was held in jail in default of $50,000 bond. He was given a preliminary hearing and bound over for the grand jury. Collins appeared indifferent to his fate. He smoked cigarettes incessantly, but was otherwise unconcerned over his imprisonment. He was brought here from Kansas City by the postal authorities, who captured him in Oklahoma. Army Planes Are Condemned. Washington.—Every army airplane purchased during the war will be rated as unsafe for flying by July 1 next, according to the annual report of Major General Menoher, chief of the air service. Rubber Plant Shut Down Millville, Mass.—The plant of the U. S. Rubber company, footwear division here will shut down December 10. Seven hundred and fifty have been employed recently. U. S. UNCOVERS MEXICAN PLOT LUCIO BLANCO LEADER OF NEW MOVEMENT Border Raids Net Mass of Doometary Evidence of Conspiracy to Resist Government. San Antonio—Wholesale raids by department of justice officials conducted simultaneously at various border points including El Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo, Brownsville, and this city, netted a mass of documentary evidence of the formation on this side of the border of a new revolutionary movement against the Obregon government in Mexico, according to a statement made here by W. A. Wiseman, special agent for the department of justice. According to Mr. Wiseman the raids were ordered by Division Superintendent C. E. Breniman with headquarters here and the violence secured is being collected in the office of the local federal bureau of investigation. Department of justice agents here are known to be busy translating documents seized during the raids and a number of erressts are expected to follow. Among the documents obtained are several manifestoes announcing the aims and purposes of the new "reformista" movement, the leaders of which are expected to be caught in the federal dragnet now being thrown out. Lucio Blanco, former Carranzista general, is the head of the new revolutionary movement, according to the accepted belief in local Mexican circles. U. S. INVESTORS ARE SHY Lack of Capital Prevents the Island Development, Washington—Inability to interest American capital on a large scale in the nation's insular possessions, particularly the Philippine islands, greatly refarded development of the great natural resources of the islands, according to the annual report of Major General Frank McIntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs of the war department, to Secretary Baker. General McIntyre urges American bankers and business men to interest themselves in the trade and development of the outlying possessions, declaring that "large tracts of the best agricultural land in the world await development," and that in a number of fertile provinces the population falls below twenty persons per square mile, while there is an unsupplied labor demand in other agricultural provinces having a population of 250 per square mile." Action has been taken by the Philippine legislature to provide for the exploitation of the lands, it is said. "The progress of Porto Rico under the organic act of 1917 has been very satisfactory and continues so," the report says, the island having just completed one of the most prosperous years in its history. FIVE YEAR TERM FOR PONZI Prisoner Pleads Guilty to the Charge of Using Mails to Defraud. Boston.—Charles Ponzi, promoter of the quick rich scheme in which thousands of persons invested millions of dollars before it collapsed last Augst, pleaded guilty to using the mails in a scheme to defraud, in the federal district court. Sentence of five years in the Plymouth county jail was imposed by the judge. The court took into consideration only the first count of one indictment of forty-four counts, in which it was charged that Ponzi had represented falsely that he was able to pay interest at the rate of 50 per cent in forty-five days from profits made in international postal coupons. LOOSE BUSINESS IS COSTLY National Officers of Credit Men Tells of Huge Loss. New York—Loose business practices throughout the country in recent months have led to the loss of $250,000,000, through the order of cancellations, it was declared here in a statement by H. F. Barker, an official of the National Association of Credit Men. Mr. Barker declared that a "surprising lack of moral fiber" had been revealed in a survey of the cancellation practice and that of "indefinitely holding up orders for further instructions." Organization Will Finance Livestock. Chicago.—The livestock finance corporation completed its organization and is ready to begin its work of assisting the livestock industry, it was announced after a meeting of officials of the organization and others interested in the livestock industry. The corporation was launched with a pool of $22,000,000 contributed Former Swedish Envoy Dies.

First St THE TULSA STAR, Saturday, January I, 1921 TAKING THE COLORED QUESTION TOO FAR responding to a riot car at the school. Citizens Resent Order of Police Chief Against Colored People of Jersey City Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 24—This enterprising "ante-room" to the nation's metropolis, has been greatly stirred by a recent order of the chief of uolice to the effect that all Colored people of Jersey City must remain in their homes after 9 p. m., and if they were not they would be arrested. The entire city was stirred by the outragous orde., the people of both races rising up in indignation. The matter became so hot that the police chief openly denied having issued such an order. He said that he had given orders for the policemen to question all "suspicious took Negroes," after 9 p. m., because there had been a number of robberies in the community which were laid upon the head of the Colored people. Dr. George Cannon, one of the leading physicians of the community, held a meeting of various organizations in his residence, at which time resolutions were passed asking for the resignation of the chief of police. Of the matter, the Jersey City Journal says editorially: "Director of Public Safety O'Brien did a wise thing when he tore up the unconstitutional order of the chief of Pillice, who had directed that all strange. Colored people found on the streets after 9 o'clock p. m., should be apprehended and made to explain their presence in the public thoroughfare. There are much better and more legal ways of ridding the city of desperadoes and suspicious characters in these days of unrest and numerous crimes. The masterful New York World comes out in a strong editorial of condemnation of such an unconstitutional procedure, and proceeds to give out some good old fashioned advice on Constitutional rights. Says the New York World: "The excuse for this act is that certain crimes attributed to Colored people occurred in Jersey City. Let some man with red hair indulge in highway robbery, we may expect the arrest of all red-haired men found in the ferry-houses. Two or three lame burglars may cause the exclusion of all hobbling rheumatic persons from the public ways. "If policemen are allowed to make laws they will naturally not stop short of making unconstitutional laws. If it is more convenient to prescribe whole classes of the community than to arrest individual criminals they will take that easier way. If without protest they drive "idle Negroes" from a city—as lately happened in Buffalo—the example may be contagious. "Colored residents of Jersey City should at once seek test suits, and they will find their rights upheld in courts that have not yet forfeited their high reputation. For if such wrongs are meekly endured, we shall need another Lincoln to lead the people in the high resolve that 'this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.'" ARE YOU SICK? SPINE If so your greatest ambition should be to get well the chiropractic way (without drugs or surgeonary) the primary cause of all disease is pressure on the nerves that leads out from the spinal cord in the back bone and these causes can not be trached with drugs or by operating the only way of getting permanent relief is to have these causes removed. This can only be done by an experienced chiropractor. A trial course will convince you. It will cost you nothing to find out your condition and a very little to get well. Come all you that ails and are burden with disease and I will give you advice take my adjustments upon your spine and they will give you health. Though we are despised and fought by all other Doctors, we like competition for we have had four years experience and know what we are doing and can find the cause of diseases and know how to remove it if you are despondent and feel all out and down talk it over with.

Clements was taken to St. Agnes's Hospital, where a gash in his scalp several inches long was dressed and the two marines were then taken to the south-western Police Station and locked up. When the marine disturbers appeared in court before magistrate DeMaco, and apologized, the case was dismissed. Colored citizens are indignant over the outcome.

Interest Among Colored Americans Increases in Southern Republican (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 24—There has grown to be a widespread interest in the possibilities of success in South America. This interest is very definite, and it is a fact that there are thousands of people who are willing to take bag and baggage and go to some of the countries, providing they were certain of freedom and welcome. Herewith is the second of the interviews held with Gorge Rambo, a Colored American, a native of Kansas who has just finished a personal tour of Brazil, and discloses to the Associated Negro Press conditions and facts as he finds them. Dr. Rambo was asked about the size of Brazil. "Brazil is 200,000 square miles larger than the United States, leaving out Alaska. Only about seven per cent of the area of Brazil is unfitted for agriculture. The valley of the Amazon in the Amonzonia and Para is very fertile and capable of raising large quantities of rubber, sugar and rice. One from this part of the world must be acclimated, however. Those from the little known interior will tell you that in the forests and plains, and beneath the rugged surface of the mountains there is an enormous accumulation of wealth awaiting the industry of the coming generation." TUSKEGEE ANNUAL CONFE RENCE TO BE THE GREAT EST IN ITS HISTORY TUSKEGEE INST. Ala., Dec. 25—Elaborate plans are being made for the Thirtieth Annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which will be held at Tuskegee Institute, Wednesday and Thursday, January 19th and 20th. "Needs of the South's Present Day Rural Life" is the general topic for discussion and as usual the first day will be given over to the farmers and the second day to persons engaged in educational, christian and social uplift work. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, announces that the indications are that the Conference in 1921 will be one of the largest attended in the history of this movement. A number of speakers of national importance have been invited to appear on the program and many of them have already accepted. Special reduced rates on the railroads have been applied for and persons attending will be entertained as guests of the institute. COLORED MEN PROTEST PROPOSED REDUCTION OF CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 25—Protests against the proposed measure of Congressman George Holden Tinkham to reduce the congressional representation of the Southern States unless Colored voters were afforded the use of the franchise were sent to. Mr. Tinkham and speaker Gillett by the "Commonhood of Negroes" from their headquarters in Cambridge. J. Clifton Smith, president of the organization, said that the step suggested by Mr. Tinkham, far from alding the Race would make it more difficult for him to secure equal "JSg hhrdlunyw fmces m many representation m all. Mr. Smith declared that the measure "offered no relief to disenfranchisement of Colored people, but is a step toward legalizing the practice and tends to entrench it by distributing the advantages of unequal representation to all white persons voting." He asserted that none of these would suffer a reduction in representatives, but the whole burden would fall on the Race. WILL PLAY FOR PHONOGRAPH RECORDS New York City, N. Y. (National Negro Press Association Service) Dec. 11. Another step forward has been made by artists of the race by the accomplishments of Mr. Eubie Blake, who has just entered a contract to play for the Aeolian is regarded as the leading pianist in the United States, and his selection for this high position and the contract that he has entered is regarded here in musical circles as the biggest triumph the race has made in years. While he refuses to make much public comment, it is to make much public comment, it is known that this recognition from the Aeolian people, one of the biggest record makers in the world, will make him an universal character. CHILDREN WILL GET PARENT'S PROPERTY Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 10—(National Negro Press Association Service.) Unless the records are false and unless the courts of the land reverse themselves, much property left by parents years ago will be given to Mr. Younger Jackson of this city and his younger sister. The property is said to be located in Nashville, Tenn., the capital city of that state, and was left there years ago by a Mr. Jerry Jackson. It seems that after the death of the elder Jackson a nation-wide search was made for the children, whom it is said were located at that time at Fort Smith, Arkansas. Both were minors and uneducated, and were minors and uneducated, and it seems that they had no legal advisor. The matter has now been put up to the authorities of the state of Tennessee, and it is claimed upon the best legal advice that the property will pass without much the younger Jackson and his sister will hold clear title. Denominational Conference Austin, Tex., Dec. 16—(National Negro Press Association Association) fired of the leading Baptists of this state was held here this week. It is said that the Rev. Henry O. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., the secretary of the Sunday School Congress, was the principal speaker, and that it was for the purpose of furthering the active Sunday School work, he having just returned from Tokyo, Japan, and that he made a personal report to the representatives of the Sunday schools of the Lone Star State, and that similar conferences have been held since his return from the land of the rising sun at Bowling Green, Ky., Louisville, Ky., St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., and this city, and that similar ones will be held between now and Jan. 15. at Little Rock, Ark., New Orleans, La., Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., New York City, and that his final report will be madt at the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress SAYS STAR IS BEST Mr. Fred Bennett, of Oklahoma City, was a pleasant caller at the Star office Tuesday.

BOY STOPS MARINE RAID WITH ROCKS (Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., Dec. 24—it was a few minutes before 9 o'clock and the 150 students in the Colored Public school on the Washington road, at Landsdowne, were in their places ready for classes to begin, when Dallas Gourley and Jack Clements, two marines from Quantico, staggered into the building and "told the world" they were going to "clean out the place." Trey had made a good beginning, according to witnesses, and had terrorized teachers and students, when one youngster, resorting to extreme measures, opened fire on the olive garbed raiders with a volley of rocks. Clements, who at the time was engaged in chasing students thru the schoolyard, intercepted one of the missiles with his head. He was knocked unconscious and rolled down a steep embankment into the roadway, where Gourley was administering first aid treatment to the best of his drunken ability, when eight motorcycle policemen, PUBLICATION NOTICE No. 7391 STOP TURN MINUTE First Published in the Tulsa December 17, 1920.

A COUNTRY is not at peace and its people are not happy till racial frictions are allayed and racial bigotry is dispossessed; till every immigrant nationality has learned to live on terms of law and order with every other. Europe is distracted today by nations that have never learned to be neighborly; by all sorts of selfist and superfluous boundary disputes; by greed of grain and internecine foray. Here in America, too we have had the unedifying and humiliating spectacle of white people and the Colored people in certain areas failing to find the common denominator of their interdependence and the result has been tragic. Certain brawling agitators have risen up to inflame sentiment and incite to cotroversy. Foolish books have been written and lamentable plays produced, with a result that has been a blight upon both races. A Race has come "up from slavery," setting to its credit a truly marvelous accomplishment in half a century, only to find certain doors and parts inexorably closed for no good reaoson. One cannot argue with blind prejudice, and the white man's ignorance of the black man's soul is worse than any black man's ignorance of books. OUR BUSINESS LEAGUE IS A SPLENDID CHANCE for the Colored Business to do some real good work for this community if it takes the right time. The economic situation is better the country, and this very fact opens the kinds of business organizations. The field for business organizations is particularly rich in Tulsa is looked upon as a leading city and as well as other groups comprising our League, therefore, should glaze the way to a beneficial to our people and the community general who hold the leadership must necessarily realign position and be ever mindful of the welfare of the town.

Are the down town Chamber of Commerce as a whole of this commercial body are all men who formulate the plans necessary to work them out in the city. Because the leaders of this body they are able to command a good following among business men but who recognize superior ability are therefore willing to put their shoulders to such it to a success along a well planned course on what the Colored Business League must do if in our midst. There are many "little fellows" who are not affiliated with the League because to draw them in—that is the right kind of effect "little fellows" to make the big success there. It soon be time for the Colored Business League to action time will be the rigt time for the officers a finite course looking to the permanent success of action on any man to yield to superior ability and "superior ability" is what every needs now and will need for the next twelve months that the Colored Business League of Tulsa and seize it while the time is yet ripe. THERE IS A SPLENDID CHANCE for the Colored Business League of Tulsa to do some real good work for this community if the right thing is done at the right time. The economic situation is growing serious all over the country, and this very fact opens the door of opportunity to all kinds of business organizations. The field for Colored commercial and business organizations is particularly ripe and ready for harvest. Tulsa is looked upon as a leading city and this applies to our group as well as other groups comprising our citizenship. Our Business League, therefore, should glaze the way to something materially beneficial to our people and the community generally. But to do this the men who hold the leadership must necessarily realize the importance of their position and be ever mindful of the welfare of the business interests of the town. They should be men of sound, conservative business ideas and who have made a success of their own businesses. Otherwise, they can not encourage the kind of following so necessary to the success of such an organization. We have the down town Chamber of Commerce as a worthy example The officers of this commercial body are all men who have succeeded ability to formulate the plans necessary to work them out for the good of the entire city. Because the leaders of this body are all capable men they are able to command a good following among others who are also business men but who recognize superior ability in their leadership and are therefore willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and help to push it to a success along a well planned course of action. This is what the Colored Business League must do if it is worthy of its name in our midst. There are many "little fellows" in our business circles who are not affiliated with the League because no effort has been made to draw them in—that is the right kind of effort—and it will take these "little fellows" to make the big success the League ought to be It will soon be time for the Colored Business League to elect officers and at election time will be the rigt time for the officers and members to take a definite course looking to the permanent success of the League. It is no reflection on any man to yield to superior ability for the good of the emmunity and "superior ability"is what every business organization needs now and will need for the next twelve moths or more. Here's hoping that the Colored Business League of Tulsa will see its opportunity and seize it while the time is yet ripe. THE POLICE PERIL PREPREHENSIBLE ACTION of certain white men invading the colored section of the red policemen who have been assigned to duty about reached the overflow point, and unless senior officers to check this practice serious result. Orous occasions might be mentioned where white officers have unceremoniously entered colored section and without any knd of legal excursion the person of the patrons of such places, v officers are in or near the place, and with vision from the proprietors. or later this practice will provoke a killing THE REPREHENSIBLE ACTION of certain white policemen who persist in invading the colored section of the city, overriding Colored policemen who have been assigned to duty in this district has just about reached the overflow point, and unless something is done by superior officers to check this practice serious trouble will certainly result. Numerous occasions might be mentioned where hot-headed soft-skulled white officers have unceremoniously entered business places in the Colored section and without any kind of legal excuse or explanation search the person of the patrons of such places, very often when Colored officers are in or near the place, and without invitation or permission from the proprietors. Sooner or later this practice will provoke a killing of these legal hi-jacks and when that happens it will require eternal vigilence to prevent a serious race conflict—something that no good desires to see. There have been several complaints among Colored people lately about white officers who have exceeded their authority in their conduct in the Colored section. It seems to be a well established policy with these officers to go out of their way to misuse Colored people. One night this week the editor of this paper was held up by five white officers while he was in a taxi within half a block of the police station and his life threatened because he had the manhood to protest against their high handed methods. It was an easy matter for those brave officers with drawn guns to intercept a law-abiding citizen almost within the door of the police station, but their vigilence counts for naught against the thieves and things who are making life miserable for the citizens of Tulsa. It is high time that this city be made safe for law abiding people who demand protection not only from thieves and things who use the cover of night and the masks to ply their trade without regard for law, but from another class of the same animals who are cloaked with the authority of law. It must be said to the credit of Inspector Daley and Chief Gustafson however, that such action on the part of these officers has been, not only without their knowledge but strictly against their specific orders, and now that their attention has been called to it, we may expect a marked improvement in the conduct of those against whom complaints have been made. These officers will be given to understand that in the discharge of their duties they must not lose sight of the fact that all citizens have ltal rights that even police officers must respect.

"A Top of The World in Motion" A man in a fur coat stands in front of a wooden bench. He holds a large circular object in his hands. The Di..ie Theatre has made a big smash, in being able to book the extraordinary production, "A Top of the World in Motion." This wonderful picture of Alaska and the Klondyke has never been released through the film exchanges, and the only theatre in the wide world where it will be shown on January 4 is the Dixie Theatre. This great educational feature has just finished a four days' run at the Royal, December 26 to 29. Ask those who saw the picture and heard the lecture what they think of it. Judge Moran personally explains the picture from beginnng to end. The judge lived 20 years in Alaska, was a member of the territorial legislature, and is a mining engineer. Alaska Jack will be in and around the lobby with his wondefu wolf dog, Tip, and his display of Alaskan and Arctic skins of wild animals. --- OKMULGEE NEWS Miss L. Elaine Nixon, teacher in Sapulpa city school, is visiting in the home of Principal and Mrs. W. H. Fort. The friends and teachers of the city are making Miss Nixon's stay one round of pleasure. Miss Mabel Crump is the only one of the teachers of Danbar who did not visit her home for the Xmas season. That Miss Crump might not feel lonely several entrainments were given in her honor by appreciative citizens. Okmulgue had her first Xmas Tree for needy children Xmas Eve afternoon which proved a success from every angle. The committee of citizens distributed baskets of food and presents until far into the evening thereby making many know the joys of Xmas time. Plans are being laid for a school publication which will serve in many ways to cement the bonds of friendship between the pupils and encourage the efforts from time to time to write. Dunbar school sold twenty seven hundred Xmas stamps, clothied twenty one children who stood in need and is now laying plans for the extension of its cafeteria benefits to those who are not able to have the necessities of life. Mr. and Mrs. James Bullock of 707 N. Central, spent several days visiting in Muskogee. Dr. S. S. Jones ran over to be with his flock for their Xmas Tree celebration. This popular pastor was remembered in several ways by his loyal members. Rev. W. H Johnson left recently to visit his parents in Hot Springs, Ark. Rev. Johnson is assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church and President of the B. Y. P U of the same church. A neat sum of money was given Rev. Johnson as a Xmas offering. The local camp of the American Legion is closing the year with more than two hundred dollars in their local treasure and all claims paid to date. Madam Anita Patti Brown will appear in song recital at Dunbar School, Feb. 11. Madam Brown is a favorite with our people and will draw largely on the musical public. Principal J. W Patton, President-Elect of the County Teachers' Association, is making things go, and at the next meeting to be held Jan. 8th, will make several recommendations of a progressive nature. If is hoped that all teachers will be present. Kindergarten chairs, a new machine and several dollars worth of scientific apparatus are the recent additions to Dunbar School. Mr. B. H. Russell reports: that he must add at least twenty feet to his store because of increasing business. Mr. Russell is one of Mississippi's loyal sons who adopted Oklahoma as his home and is making good along all lines of business activity. Central Avenue mised very much its merry whistler, Ralph Wallace, who would have whistled "Holy Night" Xmas Eve night as he wended his way in search of milk for the folks at home. Ralph has carried sunshine to many a weary aart thru his merry whistled tune. Did you get a whiff of that ham he faculty gave the custodian J. H. Burton. The last seen of it Mr. Burton had it carefully folded in its arms going to show it to loved ones at home. Mr. R. H.
