VOLUME X THREE AND Race Trouble Feared at Muskogee? Unknown Men Fire on Car of Motorman Who Killed Bandit Night Before GUARD ALL TROLLEYS Rumors of Plot to Dynamite Street Cars Received; Rumors Fly Fast BLOODHOUNDS PUT ON TRAIL Race Trouble Feared as Result Of Attitude of Colored Men After Robber Killing MUSKOGEE, Jan. 21.—Every available member of the city police force was on duty here tonight and armed detectives and deputy sheriffs rode all street cars that ran into remote sections of the town arising from the killing last night of a Colored bandit by W. M. Linn, a motorman of a Hyde Park street car. Five shots were fired at Lynn's car just after, dark tonight. The shots came from a thicket that skirts the right of way at the identical spot where the houlup was attempted last night. One of the shots enthroned the car passing between Lynn's legs. The motorman returned the fire, shooting at the fla sf of fire he saw coming from the underbrush. Rumors filled the night. The report that a Colored man had fired upon a white woman in a residential section of the city brought a patrol load of detectives to the spot. A Colored hilgwayman had attempted to hold up a white woman and another Colored man, attracted by her screams, had fired at the bandit. The police early in the night received what they considered a well authenticated report that Colored people living in the extreme northern portion of the city had held a secret meeting and decided to dynamite Lynn's car. The Colored section of the downtown district appeared quiet but policemen patrolled all beats in pairs. Motorman Linn today was given a policeman's commission and City Managed Harrison, publicly declared he intended placing him upon the force the moment a vacancy occurred. Several deputy sheriffs were sent to the spot from which shots were fired at Linn's car just before he made the last trip at midnight. Half a dozen policemen armed with riot guns were aboard the car. Not far from the scene the car was stopped by a Colored man who told them that it was planned to dynamite the car upon that trip. The trip was made, however, without incident. Bloodhounds, taken to the scene, were put upon the trail of the men be lied to have fired the shots at the street car. MAN KILLED MAY NOT HAVE BEEN BANDIT (Special to the Tulsa Star) MUS KOGEE, Okla., Jan. 22—No race troubles are threatened here as the result of the killing of W. S. Williams, an alleged bandit by conductor Linn Thursday night, but there is serious doubt that the man killed was anything but an ordinary citizen. No gun was found on the person of the dead man, so far as it has been learned, and it is thought by many that the man was murdered by the conductor and the bandit story put out to camoflauge the crime. "JIM CROW" REACHES STATE OF CALIFORNIA (By The Associated Negro Press) Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 22—Mrs. A. E. Burns, white of the Franklin School District, is speaking before the Board of Education regarding the location of a site for the school also voiced her objections to having Orientalts and Negroes attend the same school as white children. "We have several Orientalts and Colored pupils in the school and I should say that all Colored children be sent to one special school, declared she. "I believe the board should establish a school for Orientalts, Negroes and all Colored people and keep the other schools for white children only." THE TULSA STAR Champion Brick Layer in Georgia (By The Associated Negro Press) Elberton, Ga., an. 22—What is believed to be a new world's record was hung up here by Jim Meriwether, Colored, who laid 12,000 brick by actual count in two hours. That was a record of 100 brick per minute for the entire two hours. It required twelve able bodied men to wait upon him. He is laying the vitrified brick on one of the main thoroughfares of Elberton. GOLORED SOLON GETS A CONSPICIOUS SEAT (By The Associated Negro Press) Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 22 Walter H. Moore of St. Louis, the first Colored man in the history of Missouri to be elected a member of the loewer house of the legislature has been assigned a prominent seat in the hall of the House of Representatives by Commissioner of the Permanent Seat of Government Judge Louis Raciff. The seat assigned to the St. Louis Representative for the session is No. 75 and in the first row in the main aisle and directly facing the speaker. It is a position in the House that is always much sought after, particularly by old members who expect to take an active par in legislation and may frequently desire recognition of the speaker. Representative Moore's desk was buried in flowers when he was inaugurated. GREEK LETTER FRATERNITY IN FAVOR OF NEW CHAPTERS (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Jan. 22. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity with already twenty three undergraduate chapters located at the leading colleges and universities throughout the United States, a new undergraduate chapter just set apart at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, and seven graduate chapters located in the principal cities of the United States, including New York, Detroit, St. souis, Kansas City, Louisville, Norfolk and Baltimore, at its 13th annual convention held in Kansas City, Dec. 27th to 31st, 1920, gave approval to the application for the establishment of three additional chapters of the Fraternity, one of which is to be located at the University of California. The Kansas City Convention also gave its approval to the continuance of the "Go to High School, Go to College" movement which was inaugurated and so well conducted by the Fraternity during the Spring of 1920. The Apha Phi Alpha is the pioneer college fraternity among Colored buying has been organized at Cornell University in 1906, and it is interesting to note the development of fraternity life among Colored college students, there now being some seven or eight national Colored college fraternities and three or more national Colored college sororities. The 1921 meeting of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, December 27th to 31st, 1921. The headquarters of the national secretary, Norman L.

Jervoy on the east side of King street, immediately south of Columbus Street, which was opened Christmas for the patronage of Colored people, has the distinction of being one of the largest theatres in the South. The theater has a seating capacity of 2,000 and in its construction it represents the latest ideas in the theater buildings. Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA. January 22, 1921. Redding May Pay Extreme Penalty (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 22—"They won't hang me, God won't let 'em," said Grover 'Cleveland Redding, foremost figure in the "Abyssinian Riot last June. Redding had been found guilty and sentenced to hang together with Oscar McGavitt, his chief Lieutenant, for participation in the street brawl in the heart of the Coloed section, at which Robt. L. Rose, a sailor and Joseph Hart, a clerk clerk, both white, had been killed, and Patrolman Joseph Owens Colored, severely wounded. The other five defendants were found not guilty. They are Harry Lee, Edward Rush, James Briggs, Dennis Brown and Allen Willis. The riot occurred during a parade led by Redding and Jonah and organized for the purpose of recruiting Coloed men to the "Back of Abyssinla" movement, of which Redding was the head and self-acclaimed prophet of God. Exercises followed the parade and Redding bruned an American flag at the corner of Indiana avenue and thirty-fifth street. Rose who was in uniform, interfered and was shot. Mob hysteria followed, in which Hart was also slain. Throughout his trial Redding feigned insanity and it was necessary to tie him down on several occasions when he tried to fight with court attaches. Redding's insanity plea was shattered Wednesday when Dr. Wm. O. Krohn, state alienist, testified Redding had admitted the deception to him as his only chance to escape the rope. Many people have expressed the opinion that Redding is really insane. His actions and speech are very erratic. Redding handed a Colored reporter the care of one of the assistant state's attorneys and told him that the State's attorney was his lawyer. One of the defendants asked the same reporter, "to go and see my boss and have hmi come get me out." They seemed to have no comprehension of the extent of the charge against them. They are simple people of low intelligence and it is said that a white agitator known the country over as "Jonah" who was their leader and who was arrested at the time of the riot in which he was one of the chief paraders, but who was later released, fired them with the foolish zeal which led to the trouble Jonah is said to be still organizing Abyssinian movements throughout the country. NEW "OUTLAW" BASEBALL LEAGUE ORGANIZED IN EAST (By The Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 22—George Herman Lawson, president of the recently incorporated Continental Baseball association, was here recently inspecting park sites for the league clubs which he hopes to install in or near this city. The promoter and executive of the new "outlaw" league said that three of the eight franchises for the eight club league had been granted as follows: Indiana, with the state club playing in Indianapolis; Massachusetts, at Boston, and Ontario at Toronto. The New Jersey state franchise was practically clinched for Camden, Lawson stated. In connection with the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts franchises, Lawson stated he was strongly considering the installation of Colored or Cuban clubs. He pointed out that the Colored population of Boston or Philadelphia formed a large percentage of the city population and that there were at least 100 Colored baseball players in this country who equalled in playing skill the best average of the major leagues and who, although they are citizens of the country, were barred from playing in either the major or minor leagues under present conditions.

Greenwood 11 MILLION DO Founders Day At Hampton Institute HAMPTON, Va., Jan. 22—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, has announced that the principal address at the celebration of Founders' Day, to be held on January 30th in memory of Gen. Samuel Chapman, Armstrong, will be given by Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville Va., who is the president of the Jeannes and Slater Boards, member of the General Education Board, and rector of William and Mary College. "Dr. Dillard," says the "Southern Workman," which is the official magazine published by Hampton Institute, "has done more than perhaps any other Southern man to set forces in motion tending to bring about better race relations. It was he who was the prime mover in forming the Southern University Race Commission and he was also active in the organization of the Commission on Inter-Racial Commission and the Southern Publicity Committee." ELECTS COLORED COUNCIL MAN TO SUCCEED WHITE (By The Associated Negro Press) Detroit, Mich., Jan. 22—Dr. Jas. L. Henderson was elected Council man by the Hamtramck village council, to fill the vacancy caused by the failure of Clayton E. Wentworth, white, who was elected Councilman at the last election, to attend any meetings of the Council for several weeks. Dr. Henderson has been a resident of Hamtramck for three years. He is a graduate of the Detroit college of Medicine. RAILWAY TRAINMEN IN CONTROVERSY AT CHICAGO (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 22—A controversy, affecting hundreds of Colored yard brakemen on the Norfolk and Western Railway, is being argued before the U. S. Railway Labor Board here, between the Association of Colored Railway trainmen, having headquarters in Memphis, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. The Brotherhood desires a rule adopted which would make it possible for only promotable men being given employment, which would automatically eliminate Colored trainmen, because of color prejudice. J. H. Eiland, President, and C. E. Hein, divisional chairman, are representing the Association of Colored Railroad trainmen. A. D. Long of Birmingham, is representing Colored Locomotive firemen. They are waging a strenuous fight for their respective organizations. The hearing will perhaps last a week longer. THEATRE OWNERS FORM COLORED BOOKING AGENCY (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Jan. 22 The Theater Owners' Booking Agency, an organization formed at Chattanooga "for the improvement of the quality of Colored entertainment," will have as its New Orleans theater, the present Lyric, situated at Iberville and Burgundy streets. A combination of Colored theatres, embracing nearly every important city in the extreme South and one or two in the North representing in value about $3,000,000, will have the services of this booking company, every theater owner being a member of the company. The following cities are on the circuit: New Orleans, Shreveport and Alexandria in Louisiana; Montgomery and Birmingham in Alabama; Atlanta and Macon in Georgia; Greenville, South Carolina; Charleston, North Carolina; Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio; Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Tennessee; Little Rock, Ark.; Beaumont, Texas; St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri; Detroit, Mich.; and Louisville, Kentucky. Pythian Temple Planned for Tulsa Six Story Building With Theatre And Office Floors May Raise The Sky Line in Colored Section According to information received here this week executive officers of the Knights of Pythias are seriously considering a plan to erect a six story Pythian Temple in Tulsa some time during 1921. A six story building is in contemplation, the ground floor to be planned for a modern theatre with a seating capacity of 1,500, four floors for hotel and offices and the top floor for temple purposes, lodge meetings etc J. B. Key, millionaire oil man of Okmulgee, who is treasurer for the K. of P. Grand Lodge, is said to be heartily in favor of the plan and is ready to back the project to any amount. Grand Chancellor Dr. Chas. B. Wickham of this city was asked about the proposed temple by a Star reporter yesterday but declined to discuss it. It is well known, however, that a Pythian Temple has been under consideration for some time and some of the leading members of the order in Tulsa have been using their influence to encourage the idea and locate the building in this City. The thousands of dollars now lying idle in the Pythian treasury probably could not be more safely invested than in Tulsa real estate and put into such building as planned would certainly be a paying proposition. FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM OPPOSE THE KU-KLUX KLAN (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y.—The following, among resolutions presented by Judge Daniel F. Cobal at the meeting of the National Council, Friends of Irish Freedom, in the Hotel Biltmore, were unanimously adopted.

OPPOSE RACIAL REPRESENTATION IN CABINET (by The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Jan. 22—Charles Nagal of St. Louis, former Secretary of Commerce, whom the German-American conference named as one fit to represent the German Americans in the cabinet, said in addressing the National Conference of State Manufacturers' Association: "We'd need forty or more men in the cabinet to represent all the races in our country and there would be a hot time when they got together. Racial groups should not be represented in the cabinet." UNIVERSITY SUES FOR PROMISED DONATION (By The Associated Negro Press) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 22—Louisville State University a Colored institution, received $10,000 from the estate of Dr. J. S. Anderson, "Indian doctor" who died at Somerset last year. The amount was awarded the university by a decision of the Pulaski County Circuit Court. The university had sued the estate for $30,000, which he had promised to donate to the institution and had died without fulfilling the promise.

R Lewis State Health Commissioner Though it has been proven that the lowly bedbug is not, as a rule, a transmitter of disease, yet it has also been proven to the satisfaction of most housekeepers, at least, that the bedbug is one of the worst pests with which the household is afflicted. When the metal beds took the place of the wooden ones, the habitation of the bedbug received a great blow, but this did not completely throw him out of a home. In some instances he merely moved. Usually he crawled in the folds and seams of the mattress but when these places were exposed, he sought safety n the wall paper or behind the wainscoting. "The bedbug thrives particularly in filthy apartments - and in old houses. The old fashioned, heavy, wooden slatted bedsteads afford especially favorable situations for the concealment and multiplication of this insect, and the general use in later years of iorns and brass bedsteads has greatly facilitated its e.adication," says a report of the U. S. Public Health Service. The following remedies are inexpensive, easily prepared and may be applied by any house keeper. To rid mattresses of bedbugs: take a three percent solution of carbolic acid, spray on affected parts. Another remedy is the application of thick salty brine with an old toothbrush. To make the brine, put a half gallon vessel on the stove, fill nearly full with water, heat to the boiling point and begin adding salt. Pour in sufficient salt (common table or coarse salt) to make the liquid thick and then spread the "salt paste" along the edges of the mattress or tick with an old toothbrush. Gasoline and sulphur are also used effectively. Go over the iron bedstead with a soft cloth that has been dipped in gasoline. As a general disinfectant and to rid the walls of the pests, close the room and burn sulphur in it. Best results are obtained when the room is left close for twenty four hours. Rev. L. E. Nelson, pastor of the A. M. E. Church of Pawhuska, was in the city Friday, leaving this morning to return home.

Those who have little of the truth are sometimes great Stickers for formalities. This was true of the Jews at the fist a'vent of our Lord, Feast days, Fast days, Sabbaths and giving of the tenth, were very carefully attended to by them but the weightiest matters of the law, respecting justice and love to God and then were sadly neglected. This is our Lord's testimony. So today there are people who give strict attention to Church attendance and to various religious formalities who wholly over-look the real spirit and intention of the Scriptural Commands. Their attention to the formality seem to satisfy them from making too thorough reformation of life and seeking to bring all its affairs into harmony with Divine law, love of God and our fellows. The Jews of our Lord's day laid great stress upon Sabbath keeping, which fact, according to some people of our day, should have seemed ample evidence of their Holiness, full harmony with the entire law, but such was not the estimation of our Lord. They even undertook to chide our Lord and His Disciples respecting their neglect of the Sabbath, although they generally admitted that Christ and His Apostles' characters were blameless. On one of these occasions in which reproof wss administered by the Pharisees, our Lord took up the subject and explained it, showing that they had wholly misapprehended the Divine intention respecting the Sabbath. It was not intended to be a burden but a blessing; the Sabbath was not given for God's sake, but for man's sake. He the Lord Jesus, called them to witness that His Disciples were doing no harm, that they were merely satisfying their hunger lawfully. He then proved the correctness of His position from authorities, they would be willing to accept. They recognized that David as a Holy man approved of God, and He pointed out to them that David under stress of hunger, had eaten bread that otherwise would have been unlawful to eat. Then He laid down the general principle that altho labor was prohibited under the labor was for the purpose of bringing to man rest, comfort, refreshment and blessing, and not to bring hunger; inconveniences and distress upon either man or beast. He cited them to the fact that certain work was done on the Sabbath Day by the Priest, and for the assistance of others, as well as for their own necessities, could be no violation of the fourth commandment. After declaring himself fully qualified to decide the Sabbath question, He tells them that, watching out for letter of the law they neglected its spirit, and should learn that the Lord desires mercy, sympathy, pity and love, more than He desires sacrifice and that any deed of mercy, sympathy, pity and love done on the Sabbath day are more pleasing in God's sight, than were those sacrifices which were performed on the Sabbath as well as other days, in the typical Temple. With this proper view before their minds they would of have condemned His Disciples whom He, the Master of the Sabbath did not condemn. The blindness of the Pharisees respecting the proper interpretation of the law of the Sabbath, is shown by the fact that even after our Lord had given them this explanation, they evidently still supposed that while it would be right for a Priest in the Temple to labor in the offering of a sacrifice it would be contrary to the same law for some one to heal 'he sick and relieve the distressed. Our Lord, however, soon discovered to them the error if not the hypocrisy of their own hearts. He well knew that in their love of gain they would help a sheep or an ass out of a pit on the Sabbath Day because it represented value, and it's remaining in the pit over Sabbath might mean its death, and hence a financial loss. Thus He showed that they well knew how to interpret the law correctly, liberally but that they were lacking in mercy, sympathy and love where financial loss or gain was not involved. Our Lord, as a Jew, was bound under the Jewish covenant so long as He lived as a human being; because He did not in any sense of the word make an end of the law covenant until His death—there He became the death of the Law for righteousness (justification) to every one that believeth. When the Scripture informs us that Christ by His death made an end of the law it means that there was nothing further to be gained by the keeping of the law, and that what there was to be gained by keepink of that law was captured by our Lord Jesus Christ when at death He said upon the Cross, "it is finished." The offer to any Jew who would keep the law perfectly was eternal life, but all the Jews failed except Christ, hence there was no further need of holding out the offer since the prize has been won. All who desire to share any of the benefits of this prize which was captured by our Lord Jesus must of necessity go to the one who has it and receive from him; and all who come to Christ are not under the Law but under Grace or favor which is higher than the law. We are therefore to understand that from our Lord's discourses hereinabove mentioend to the Jews was to our effect that while neglecting the weightier matters and the real interest of the law covenant they had fallen into certain habits of thoughts and certain customs which were provisions of the law and wholly inconsistent with the laws real sentiment. Phariseeism had become formism in many respects. It is claimed that according to their definition of Sabbath breaking the Disciples threshed the wheat when they rubbed it in their hands. So also it is claimed, and so argued with apparent seriousness that if any one walked upon the grass with nailed shoes, upon the Sabbath Day that would be a violation of the law, because it would produce a kind of threshing, since one might trample out some of the seeds. With equal seriousness according to Jewish history, it was claimed, that to catch a flea upon one's person would be a kind of hunting and thus a violation of the Sabbath. It is even said to have been debated whether or not a fresh egg should be beaten on the Sabbath or first day of the week since it implied work on the part of a hen on the THE NEW YORK TIMES A R W RICHARD J. HILL. seventh day; and we can safely say that quite probably if clocks had been invented at that time they would all have been stopped over the Sabbath. Our Lord shows by His criticism that this was merely hypocrisy and self-delusion on the part of the Pharisees, who found it easier to make a show of righteousness in such trifling things than to consider and seek to obey the weighty matters of the law, justice and mercy. Our Lord showed them that God as He had foretold had more pleasure in mercy than in sacrifice and that if they had His spirit in respect to the matter, they would not be hypocritic condemning their fellow creatures who were really doing no wrong. This was a prelude to what followed and prepared the way. For coming to the Synagogue the same day, our Lord found a poor, cripple who needed help and while the Pharisees were looking on waiting for a chance to condemn Him for violating the Sabbath according to their false assertions respecting it, He took the opportunity to administer a rebuke before performing a cure, realizing no doubt that the effect upon His hearers would thereby be more favorable. He knew what to teach them; He knew their tender spots of selfishness; and that however much they might delude themselves and others in the theorizing respecting observance of the Sabbath when it would come down to a matter of loss or gain they would be well able to rid themselves of their superstition and act accordingly, hence He put the question whether or not they would deliver a sheep or an ass on the Sabbath ray if it should fall into a pit. He and they well knew what they would do, what was the custom and hence, without waiting for an answer, but taking it for granted, He proceeded to show that the poor cripple before Him was much better than the sheep or ass, and that He had been trapped into sin, and sickness by the Adversary, and that if it were right to deliver the sheep or the ass, much more would it be right on the Sabbath day to help a fellow creature in distress. Evey human obligation is based upon some Divine law. Looking to the Jewish Sabbath, we find that it was the seventh day of the week and was made obligatory through a Divine command, being one of the Ten Commandments given to Israel at Mouut Cinai, consequent- ly it was not optiona1 with them how they should keep it, but was obligatory upon the terms explicitly stated. To violate it, the Fourth Commandment of the Decalogue, was to violate one point of the law and to violate one point of the law was to violate the entire law; because the offer of eternal life to the Jew was based upon his absolute obedience to this law, not his obedience to a majority of its precepts, but his obedience to all its precepts without a solitary exception. In other words, they had to keep the law perfectly before they should gain the prize of eternal life. We have heretofore seen however, and as our Lord and the Apostle expressly declared, no Israelite did keep or could keep inviolately the items of their law, and consequently, according to their covenant, not one of them was ever justified to eternal life. The Scriptures do not teach and no thinking peson can be made to believe that God has made the question of Life-Everlasting or Death Eternal dependent upon the keeping of certain days. The Scriptures specifically warns all who would be followers of Jesus Christ to let the world judge them by the fruits of the Spirit and not to permit themselves to be judged by the keeping of certain days. (Gal. 5:22-23). "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, Godliness, faith, meekness and temperance. Against such there is no law." Col. 2:16-17 reads thus: "Let no man therefore J. HILL. judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a Holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day, which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Crist." The Scripture last quoted means to inform us that the laws and ceremonies of the Jewish age including the Sabbath were but shadows pointing to the real thing and the real thing since Christ's Baptism at Jordan is the Christ. It is tue that the law covenant relating to the keeping of the seventh day and all other features of that law was binding upon the Jews with whom it was made and it is still binding upon all Jews who do not believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God; but he law covenant was never binding upon the Gentiles (all persons not descendant from Abraham) for the reason that they were never a party of it. The Lord had no dealings with the Gentiles and made no covenants or contracts with them prior to the Gospel Age that is before Christ's Baptism at Jordan. (Amos 3:2) The Lord speaking to the Jews said, "You only have I known of all the families of the earth, therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." All Jews who accept Christ as the Son of God and consecrate themselves to follow Him are not under the law covenant but under Grace and the only law binding upon them is the law of love. In order to more fully understand this subject we should know for what purpose was the law covenant given. The Scriptures inform us that the law was given to the Jews to serve them as a teacher or instructor in the rudimentary principles of Godliness and to help all the humble minded to be ready to pass from the house of servants into the house of Sons when Christ came. (Gal. 3:24-25); but all who failed to do their best under the law covenant was not permitted to pass out of the house of Servants into the house of Sons and therefore they remain under the law covenant. In other wods, to simplify the matter let us suppose that we are preparing persons for school teachers; their schooling would begin with the rudiments of first grade principles and they would remain in that grade until they gave satisfaction before they would be permitted to enter higher grades. They would remain under the laws or rules of passing until they complied there- --- THE TULSA STAR. January 22. 1921 with. So it is with the Jews; all must remain under the law of covenant until they accept Christ which act is the passing mark. The philosophy of the matter is this, since no imperfect man was able to keep the law in letter and spirit the love of God (John 3:16) arranged that Christ who was perfect should come in flesh, perfect, and without sin and keep the law; showing that a perfect person can keep the law and at the same time arrange to help imperfect man to keep the law; but before any of imperfect humanity can receive this help and be counted perfect under the law they must come to Christ and agree to do His will and not their own. Under such conditions Christ's merits will be applied to their weakness and they will be considered perfect and as fulfilling the whole law as long as they remain in that condition of unnarrished love and desire to do the will of God to the extent of their ability at any cost. All persons so coming to Christ are said to be under a covenant of Grace or favor and not under the law covenant. Christ's death would amount to nothing if any one could be justified by keeping the law. In the first place Christ would not have died if there was any one who was able to keep the law perfectly. (Gal. 2:21). While the law covenant only represented the A. B. C. principles of the Divine law, yet sinful man has never been able to keep it perfectly. Jesus Christ was the only one that ever kept that law perfectly and therefore as we have above stated, He captured the prize—Eternal life that was offered to any Jew who could keep it. Now after gaining the prize of Life Everlasting He has arranged that the Jews may pass from under the curse of the law by having faith in Him and following in His foot steps. All Jews who come out from under the law covenant by accepting Christ do more by faith than is required to them under the law covenant of keeping one day en as Sabbath unto the day keep every day for the tered into their rest. Web The Gentiles (All ye descendants of Abraham er been under the law and therefore he ever to do with this Sabbath except to know its typical significance as fore-shadowing the anti-typical rest of the law which is not a rest of body, but a rest of faith in the merits of the Ransom Sacrifice.

This music is said to have originated in New Orleans, where a Colored boy on a sugar plantation was a most proficient dancer. He entertained his fellow workers at the noon hour with his dancing pranks and played his own accompaniment on a mouth harp. This young lad's nickname was Jazz and the popular style of melody he extracted from his mouth harp, soon had everyone around the plantation swaying to its fascinating rhythm. The syncopation was named "jazz" after its originator and it has taken the country by storm. "THE SMARTER SET" headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, presenting their latest and original jazzian operetta "BAMBOULA" comes to the Convention Hall next Tuesday, Jan 25th and any one enjoying good singing, dancing and clean comedy cannot afford to miss it. CONGRESS REDUCES ARMY TO 175,000 Senate and House Adopt Resolutions Over Protest of Military Chiefs Washington, Jan. 18. Congress voted yesterday to limit the size of the regular army to 175,000 enlisted men. The senate by a vote of 41 to 33 set aside its decision of last week to reduce the army to 150,000 men and then, without a record vote, adopt the original point resolution of Senator New, Republican, Indiana, directing the secretary of war to stop recruiting until the army is out to 175,000 men. The house, 10 minutes later, adopted a joint resolution sponsored by Chairman Kahn of its military affairs committee also directing the secretary of war to cease enlistments until there are not more than 175,000 enlisted men in the regular army. The action of the two houses was taken against the recommendations of war department heads and General Pershing. Secretary Baker in appearing before the senate military affairs committee advised against an army of less than 250,000 men after the "present necessity of economy had been realized." General Pershing told the same committee that an army of 200,000 men constituted a safety margin. WEALTHY MUSKOGEEAN VISITS TULSA W. C.

JAP OPPOSES NAVAL CUT AS 'U. S.

He asserted America should first consult Great Britian relative to the suggested suspension of naval program. "Only when an American-British agreement has been reached," he added, "can Japen be in a position to consider this proposition.

Increased Population (by The Associated Negro Press) JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 22 Most of the Colored population of Missouri lives in the congested areas of the cities, while only a small proportion can properly be classed as rural population, the Colored Industrial Commission said in a report that will be made to the next General Assembly. The commission said it hoped to solve the problem of drawing the Cloreod people from the city to the rural district to engage in land production. The agents have made a survey of the Colored man's condition, educationally, economically and industrially, and has investigated his housing, health and moral condition. "Our investigators have found some conditions which cause grave concern," the report said. "For instance, it was discovered that out of 212,000 Colored people in Missouri, only 49,000 live in hamlets and on farms. These figures reveal startling situations, that 70 per cent of the Colored population of the state is in he congested areas of the cities while only 30 per cent can properly be classed as rural population. "The Colored people under such environment bring little from the soil, while they are the largest consumers proportionately in the population. How to enable them to throw some of their strength into land productions as well as to better turn products of the soil into shape for human consumption is one of Missouri's most vital problems and one which the commission hopes to solve.

MOTON URGES SOUTH TO PROVIDE HIGHER EDUCATION FOR HIS RACE Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 22—In a conference of Federal and State educational officials held here in the Senate Chamber last week Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, was invited to speak on the subject of Negro Education, and in the course of his remarks strongly urged the South to make more provision for higher education as well as better vocational training for the Colored race. He said: "The country at large is suffering because of the shortage of well trained teachers, and I am glad that the Federal Government, through the Smith-Hughes Act, is co-operating with State authorities in providing better teacher training for both Colored and white people. "This leads me to refer to the generally inadequate provisions made by our own State of Alabama as well as other Southern states for the higher education of the Colored Race, most of whom become teachers. "Many of the Colored teachers in the secondary schools and colleges of Alabama have, I dare say, received their training in other states but this is not true, I judge, of the white schools. It is my earnest hope, therefore, that the day is not far distant when Alabama will make the same provisions for its Colored youth as are made for its white youth in institutions like the University of Alabama and the State Polytechnic Institute of Auburn. "It is clear that the Colored man is determined that his children shall be educated, and if this education cannot be secured in his own state and the children will be sent to other states. I cannot but feel that it is the business of the state to provide ample opportunities for training all of its citizens. "It is unfair to the Colored youth of the state that if they wish to secure higher education they must attend private school here in the South or go to a Northern school to get the same sort of training that the state provides for its white youth. "Every time a young man or woman of the Colored Race goes North to secure higher education the temptation to remain after the training is completed is very strong, and in a great many instances the Southern schools are deprived of the benefits of these well-trained and more intelligent citizens. "It requires some courage for a man even though born in the South, after spending four or five years in a Northern institution to come back to a section where he must pay first-class fare to ride in a second or third-class coach and frequently stand at the ticket window and wait until every white person is served before he can purchase a ticket. If democracy means anything, it means equal opportunities and equal protection for every citizen, and I am glad that there is a large and rapidly increasing group of the best white people of the South who are determined that law-abiding, intelligent Colored people may live in peace and security and may thereby be enabled to contribute their fullest share towards the highest development of the South." TULSA'S COLORED BUSINESS DIRECTORY State News Letter Street Railway Still Sick But Convalesce An official report of the national condition of the electric railway industry for the year ending January 1, 1921, indicates a gradual and steady approach to a stable basis. Regulatory bodies seem to believe that rehabilitation of lines will be a slow process and that the present advanced rates must be maintained for some time even if falling costs, (anticipated but not realized as yet) should come. A large majority of the companies in the last four years have strained their financial resources to the limit, or created actual deficits, by merely meets current expenses and making absolutely unavoidable emergency improvements. Many badly needed improvements have been deferred by virtually every company on account of lack of funds. The report just completed shows that 548 cities in the United States representing more than 90 per cent of the riding population in cities, are paying fares ranging from 56 with a 1c transfer chage to a flat rate of 10c. The largest groups are; Cities paying a 10c fare, 112; 9c fare, 6; 8c fare, 6; 7c fare, 174; and 6c fare 124. The immediate result of the wide spread inclination to adjust rates upward to the requirements of good service is found in the low number of electric railway receiverships for 1920. There were only 16 representing a total capital stock of $25,313, 655 as compared with 48 receiverships, representing a capital stock of $221,259,354 in 1919. During the year 450 miles of track were dismantled and 308 miles of track abandoned. No track construction was reported. In practically every community there appears to be a desire on the part of the car riders to co-operate in an effort to make the lines self sustaining and to encourage a flow of new money into the industry. Company Claims High Operating Costs The Yale Telephone Company on January 1, was granted an increase in rates by the Corporation Commission. The operating costs of this telephone company were shown to be such that it could not make a reasonable interest on its investment. The high cost of operation was mainly due to the high classed operatives. The Yale Telephone Company has a record of being one of the best operated telephone companies in Oklahoma. California Commissioner talks Direct In a recent address before the League of California Municipalities E. O. Edgerton, President of the California Railroad Commission, answer the criticism made by some people in regard to rate increases to meet existing conditions made by Public Service Commissions. He declared that the State's industrial progress depends upon an immense increase in the facilities of the public utility companies which expressed in money means the investment of many hundred million dollars in the next few years, and that the e: is no power to force investment in these securities, except through the adoption of a sound policy which insures the investor that his property will be dealt with fairly and intelligently. He said "You who are the official representatives of municipalities, have a very serious responsibility. It is important that you do not by mis-statement, either purposely or ignorantly, shake the confidence of the public in so important a matter as the regulation of public utilities. If you do so, you are doing your constituents a serious injury. You must recognize that these investments are made in the common good, that they developop communities, and that they are protected by the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the state, designed to protect such investment against confiscation." Uniform Accounting System The National Association of Railway and Utility Commissions have adopted the theory and general plan of the uniform system of accounts for gas corporations. The members of this association are composed of the members of the state corporation commissions, public utility commissions and railroad commissions. Michigan is the first state which has ordered its gas utilities to follow this plan. OKMULGEE NEWS The State Principals' Association, of which W. H. Fort, principal of the Okmulgee school, is chairman, has moved their battle line to the legislative halls of the great state of Oklahoma and now the men, who have been chosen to make just and equitable laws for the government of all the people are going to have an opportunity to line up on the side of JUSTICE TO THE SEPARATE SCHOOLS which schools have suffered for all these years because of the lack of sufficient funds with which to purchase the equipment so necessary for the advancement rightly theirs. Saturday, January 15, the legislative committee that has been working hard to find the best way, assembled in Douglass School, Okla. City, and after listening to a survey of many possible plans by their attorney gave orders to draw up a bill in keeping with the plan suggested—a copy of which will appear in a subsequent issue—and have same introduced immediately. Ere this issue reaches the different parts of the state the first real concerted effort of the Colored teachers to have the laws changed in such a way that relief may come to the Separate schools will have been launched and the tucsin sounded to all those interested to rally to the assistance of those who are really attempting to have this load lifted from he black man's shoulders and he be given a man's chance to get what the State owes every citizen, viz; an equal opportunity to drink at the fount of knowledge. Principals Fort, Okulmgee; Grisson, Muskegue; Hughes, Tulsa; Day Sapulpa; Bryant, Luther; Youngblood, Oklahoma City and Graham, Arcadia compose the legislative committee charged with the task of presenting the teachers' view of what is needed and to the assistance of these leaders every teacher, who hopes to be profited by the prospective changes, ought to come or remove himself from the ranks that only those who are not only willing to share in the good accomplished, or attempted, but who will assist in hearing the expense incident to the putting over of this great program will make. The Tulsa Star knows of the heavy obligations taken by this committee and the contracts entered into calling for large outlay of money no part of which outlay has as yet been sent in other than TWENTY FIVE Dollars from the County Association of Okmulguee which they informed the Secretary is their first contribution. While Okmulguee county was the first to show a direct in pushing this battle there is every reason to believe that all the teachers in the State will vie with each other to render the aid necessary to carry out the plans and bring success. it will be to the eternal shame of the State Teachers' Association if there should be a turning aside to discuss matters calculated to defeat the plans. It is the hope that the Inter-Racial Alliance will throw the weight of the personality of each member of its committee into this battle for fair play and that both sides, representing he best thought of the races and the purity of thought of those who favor a square deal may not lag behind in this matter, but will line up and push this bill to final paggage. We have talked with each member of the committee and find each encouraged and willing to sacrifice comfort and money to win a fight so much needed to be won. Secretary Graham is preparing letters of explanation to be sent to all teachers as far as he man have their addresses while Chairman Fort is keeping himself informed on all sides and is calling the committee at any time needed without a thought as to the expense "Get results now" said this leader, "and let the expense be put up to the loyal and appreciative teachers of the great State of Oklahoma" while the committee said "AMEN." The TULSA STAR will keep the public informed along all lines and gives its pledge to the cause of find victory and permanent relief to the Colored schools.

Learning The Truth IT IS NOW, and always has been, a weak spot in human nature, or rather a strong spot, to learn something about the Great Beyond. All the superstitions of the dark ages have had their root in this question and our fears and follies of the present day might be traced to our anxiety concerning the hereafter. We are all more or less concerned over this great question and because of the great concern we feel over it, the fear and the hope it arouses in all of us, we are all more or less susceptible to some kind of religious doctrine which we accept as our moral guide to the (to most of us) uncertain hereafter. The average person has no conception of his own concerning God's plan of human Salvation. We have heard so many conflicting doctrines preached by men of different minds, and most of them with little or no intelligent Bible facts to base their arguments upon, that the wisest of us often find ourselves in a quandary when we attempt to settle our minds on the great truth concerning God's plan of salvation for human creatures. From early childhood we have been taught by graphic word pictures of his Satanic Majesty, with his imperial imps of the plutorial regions, playing hide and seek in the sulphuric blazes of fire and brimstane, to tear God rather than love Him. The human heart is not capable of entertaining real love and devotion for a God who would consign His human creatures to eternal punishment in an inextinguishable lake of fire, and it is nothing short of absurdity to ascribe this quality to God's character. We have been doped so long on this false doctrine that, like the poor devil who becomes addicted to the use of drugs, we think we cannot entertain hope without it. The only hope for a drug fiend is to shut off his supply of dope. He may suffer considerably from re-action at first, but if he is determined and persistent he will in time become cured of his ill habits. So it is with us who have become fiends to the hell fire dope. Like the drug fiend, we know there is something wrong, we feel it; we know there is something unnatural about the effects of the dope, but also, like the dope fiend, we lack the moral courage to denounce the evil, and the manhood to fight its enroachment upon our well being. But the day of hope has dawned for the intelligent human being who loves God and humanity too much to continue in the pathway of darkness. To men and women who think for themselves the sun rays of God's eternal truth beckons them on to a higher plane of knowledge concerning God's plans. The appearance in these columns each week of the able writings of the Hon. Richard J. Hill is doing much to unshackle the minds of hundreds of people in religious matters, as is attested by letters tat frequently come to this office. People are learning the truth and the more they learn the more they want to learn. Realizing this fact Mr. Hill has erected a comfortable building near his home at 825 East Easton where he daily gives instructions in intelligent studies of the Bible and without charge to any one. It costs nothing here to learn of God's tender mercies, of His word and His evident plan of human salvation. Here is a man, fully desecrated, who is giving his life and his means to establish God's truth among his fellow creatures, and he asks no one to pay him for his services. Whatever our religious beliefs or superstitions, surely the life of this man in our midst will induce many of us who have become addicted to false religious dope to assert our independence and step out into the light of truth. The "Y" And Our Youth MANY WORTHY MOVEMENTS have been successfully launched in Tulsa, but perhaps none more worthy than the recent efforts of the good people of both races here to encourage the Y. M. C. A. Movement among people of our group. Several months ago the "Y" Movement was launched by a few but well meaning and determined Colored men of Tulsa who knew the beneficient influence the "Y" environments would exercise over the tender untrained minds of our youth and be it said to our credit, the idea was a fast catch. An association was organized, money pledged and in a short while a working organization was in the field. Tangible results were soon in evidence and a salaried secretary was obtained in the person of G. A. Gregg, a graduate of the Kansas University who has had special training and considerable experience in "Y" work. Since the appearance of Mr. Gregg on the scene the scope of the work has been enlarged and public interest has rapidly increased until now, just a few months after the beginning of the movement the "Y" is the household word in practically every home in our community and its wholesome influence is reaching out and pulling into the circle many of our young men and boys who might otherwise succumb to less uplifting influences. The "Y" influence has done more to shape the future of young people than all the churches in the country. Many young people, lost to their childhood environments and early training, have been reclaimed through the wolesome influences of the "Y" and developed into useful citizenship. It is because of the good work accredited to this organization all over the world that we rejoice with others over the blessing we recognize in our local branch Y. M. C. A., and share the pride of the community in the good work being done by this organization. Let's save the boys through the influence of the "Y." To do this, every man and woman, every father and every mother in Tulsa should do everything in their power to encourage the "Y" Movement; to see and know that the proper enviroms are instituted so that the influences exercised over our youth away from home will be as wholesome as the influence of hone and fireside. We owe everything to our children, all of us; but most of us are sadly neglecting this sacred obligation. We will soon pass out and leave them—what? Most of us can not leave wealth and position to our children, but all of us can and should leave the priceless heredity of Christian probity such as comes only from the influences of environments and home training. None of us are quite too poor to leave this as a legacy to our heirs. The "Y" Movement will help us in this laudable ambition. THE INJUSTICES AND INEQUALITIES of the separate school law in this State is but another proof of the unfairness and danger that lurk in Jim Crow principles wherever found. No one can deny that the Colored schools of the State should be operated under the same law that operates white schools, because we all realize now that there can be no absolute fairness between two opposing principles whether applied to institutions or individuals. Remove the Jim Crow principles and the chance for unfair discrimination disappears. SELFISH AMBITION has destroyed more lives than all the instruments of war. It has wrecked empires, corrupted governments and left areas of devastated ruins and misery in the wake of its destructive pathway. And yet many of us continue to worship at its shrine, giving all for a fond embrace of dame fortune for a fleeting moment. "What fools we mortals be!" DURING THE PAST YEAR the city administration has spent money for street improvement in nearly every part of the city, save the section that needs it most. Their action indicates their indifference to the needs of the Colored section, notwithstanding their flowery pre-election promise. AT LEAST ONE MAN has gotten enough of the republican city administration and "spresses" himself in a letter to the editor shown elsewhere in this issue. But it is our guess that he voices the sentiment of hundreds of others who "wouldn't do it again" if they lould vote in a city election tday. PRE-ELECTION PROMISES have been utterly forgotten or ignored by the City Administration so far as the Colored section of the City is concerned, but it's no more than some of us expected. There is a day of reckoning coming. NO ACTION MOTION PICTURES OF COLORED COMBAT UNITS IN FRANCE Mr. J. William Clifford, late first lieutenant of Infantry and Special Representative of the Colored Soldiers in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and now President and Administrative head of the Menumural Pictures Corporation stated last night in an informal gathering of representative young men of his race, that he was chagrined and deeply hurt at not finding any action motion pictures of Colored Compat Units in the collection of motion pictures taken by the U. S. Signal Corps in France. Mr. Clifford who is now getting out a picture of Colored News reel on the order of the Pathe News, desired to have some of these pictures in his first release which will be ready for distribution the first of February. He was greatly disappointed in finding for the most part only pictures of the Colored labor and stevedore units building roads and handling supplies and of Colored soldiers peeling potatoes and jugging. He stated that it was a terrible injustice to the courageous and brilliant achievements of the members of his race of the famous 15th Infantry of New York and other combat units that no pictures were made showing their intrepid and dauntless bravery in action on the Western Front and which so materially contributed to the glorious victory and to the protection of American honor and integrity. Page Has Won Case in Two Courts This historic case involves title to one of the Cushing oil field, estimated to be worth 55,000,000. Judge Ralph Campbell decided the case against the government and in favor of the Page interests about four years ago. In the fall of 1920 the United States circuit court upheld Judge Campbell. The contention of the government has been that the land was allotted to a mythical Tommy Atkins and as such reverted to the original Indian ownership. FAMOUS ATKINS CASE TO HIGHEST COURT WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The department of justice today decided to appeal to the supreme court from the decision of the United States circuit court in the Tommy Aktins case recently decided against the government. MUSKOGEE BANDIT KILLED Colored Man Trying to Hold up Street Car. Falls into Trap MUSKOGEE, Jan. 20—Attempting to hold up a street car here tonight, W. S. Williams, 35 years old. Colored, was shot and killed by W. M. Linn, conductor. The car was being driven "blind" as a lure for seven bandits who had hold up the same car an hour earlier. Two policemen were aboard. The Colored man stepped on the car three miles from the city and as he reached for a gun, Linn, seated in the car, fired. ALUMNI PRESENTS AUTO TO COLLEGE PRESIDENT (Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., Jar. 22—The Alumni Association and friends of Morehouse College after a 40 day campaign for funds, have given an automobile to Dr. John Hope, president, as a token of appreciation of his worth and work for the last 22 years. Duing the war, Dr. Hope spent one year in France as supervisor of Y. M. C. A. work among the Colored. The gift was made at the president's residence, the automobile being presented by Rev. D. W. Cannon, president of the Alumni Association. Patronize our Advertisers. --- It is reported that there are more than nine hundred children on the roll of Dunbar school. From all portions of the southland they have come and many for the purpose of being in touch with a good school. Our Principal has returned from Oklahoma City where the Legislative Committee of the State Principals' Association held a very interesting session and ordered a bill drawn thru which help for the Colored schools is sought.
