HERO OF BANDIT STORY HELD ON MURDER CHARGE A Fearless Exponent of. Right and justice. An Uncompromising Defender of the Colored Race. We fear only to do wrong. VOLUME X HERO OF STREET CAR CONDUCTOR WHO KILLED COLORED MAN IS BEING HELD IN JAIL WITHOUT BOND. Newspaper That Made Hero of Murderer Now Silent on Facts. MAN IS BEING HELD IN JAIL WITHOUT BOND. (Special to The Tulsa Star) MUSKOGEE, Okla., Jan. 28—Although the daily press has been tactfully silent about late developments in the investigation of the killing Thursday night of last week of W. S. Williams by Wm Linn (white), street car conductor, who was lionized following the murder by newspaper stones in which Linn was featured as the horr of an attempted holdup and his victim the villian of the play, the hero conductor is now domiciling in the county jail without bond awaiting his preliminary hearing on the charge of murder. Immediately following the killing the daily press service flashed across the country in glaring head lines the thrilling story of a black bandit in an attempt to holdup the Hyde Park street car and the heroic action of the conductor in saving the street car company money by shooting and killing the alleged bandit. The chief of police had slated Linn for a position on the police force because of his braveact. Subsequent developments, however, has changed the entire color scheme of the story and instead of parading the streets of Muskogee and being pointed to as the hero of a thrilling attempted robbery, he has assumed the role of a common murder and is being detained as such in the county jail. Williams, the murdered man, was a resident of Parsons, Kansas. At the time of his death he was visiting friends here. Investigation following his death showed that he was a man of good reputation. It also developed the fact that he was murdered by Linn. Full details of the killing will probably be brought out at the preliminary hearing next Tuesday. Friends of Williams are making efforts to employ special attorneys to aid in the prosecution of the conductor. COWETA NOTES.

THE TULSA STAR RACE DISTURBANCES FORCING COLORED PEOPLE TO FLEE (Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, Ga, Jan 29—Colored people are fleeing from Hall County Race disturbances have been frequent in this section of the State for sometime past. This condition has led to much controversy as to the best means to ease the situation. The whites decided that only drastic methods could be successfully used because the Colored people were determined to fight the issue to a finish. This conclusion developed into a wholesale disarming of the Colored population. This was accomplished by the issuing of a general search order of the homes and a confiscation of all firearms thus discovered. Then a "Colored drive" was opened and the Colored people forced to flee to other parts. Ganesville has gained in Colored population as a result and chaos is prevailing in that section as one of the results. The governor has been asked to take steps to relieve the situation Up to his ime he has evinced no interest in the matter.

A Peculiar Business There is one business in the period of readjustment, through which the country is passing, that is in a peculiar position, and unlike any other, it can't— Close down its "factories" because of high labor or material costs, lay off employees, refuse to take orders because the prices its customers offer do not equal costs of production and give a profit. This peculiar business is that having to do with the production of electricity, gas, transportation and communication services. Regardless of how difficult the working conditions may be, it must grind away 24 hours a day, for a lapse of functioning would be disastrous, not only upsetting all business and Weekly Mail Edition TULSA, OKLAHOMA, January 29, 1921. STORY HELD methods of living, but also involving life and death itself. While all other industry can refuse to take orders from customers, the utilities are not permitted to do so. They must continue to take them and get the necessary equipment in place to render service just as fast as their credit will permit them to borrow the necessary money from investors. Exorbitant market prices for coal, steel, labor and other products may result in other industries closing down for a period, but the utilities are precluded from this, the state public utilities commission exercising a watchful eye to see that there is no let up in the services rendered communities.

C., an. 29—"I have no message to the people of the South that I would not utter to all the United States." This is the heart motif of the message which President-elect Harding has written at the behest of Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, to the South. Mr. Howell, is appears, is one of the prominent Southern men who is very anxious that a genuinely new era shall be opened for the southland. The Howell type of Southern er affects to be heartily tired of the present tangled situation which hey say, is operating to the great economic and business disadvantage of their section of the country. The "Race Problem" is, of course, at the bottom of the entire situation This is acknowledged on all sides by all complexions of men. "What is the Republican Party going to do about the South's fears in relation to the loudly expressed ambitions of its present day Colored citizens" is the question uppermost in the minds of all Southerners. Hence, the request of the editor of the Constitution. He, with other white Southerners want to know and know so sincerely that they can literally taste it. Mr. Harding's message had not evaded the direct question it is declared by prominent men here, black and white, but, in his effort he has clearly called to the attention of the South the fact that the problems of the country are not sectional in character but apply, with equal force, to all the country. "Let's all pull together," he says. "Let us have oneness of Americanism," he declares in another instance of the "Message." In the matter of Southern appointment, Mr. Taft's the only leading Republican who has worried himself with the fear that Mr. Harding may so far forget the Southern that he will appoint Colored men to first class Federal positions in the South. Why, no one has been able to answer intelligently. Up-to-date the President elect has said nothing which would indicate his attitude in the matter of appointments outside of his cabinet, and a good deal of this has been tentative nature. Henry Lincoln Johnson is on the ground, but he has oothing to say about the question of appointments. Henry Lincoln may be playing "possum" no one knows. But he is keeping mum, just the same and sawing wood, maybe. Dr. Emmett Scott declares he is not in politics and therefore has nothing to say about appointments. In fact every body is up in the air on this all-important point and the result is a political fog so dense and thick one can almost cut with a knife. In the meantime Mr. Harding has laid aside the affairs of state for the moment and is playing Golf in the balmy climes and under the blue skies where Federal appointments are not heartily in evidence and the only Colored appointments that he has to worry about are the caddies who carry his clubs around the links.

Hill's Weekly Articles REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY Matt. 12:1-13 "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath Day." (Continued From Last Week) "Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy, Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: In it thou shalt not do any work, Thou, nor thy son, not thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy catte nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made Heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and Hallowed it." This Command injoins idleens on the Sabbath Day of each week. It does not say to cease from ordinary work and engage in Religious work, as many of is advocates seem to suppose. But, on the contrary, it prohibits all kinds of work. Many who think themselves bound by this command, neither rest on the seventh day nor on the first day of the week, which, without orders, they make an effort to keep instead of the seventh day which the Law appointed for those under it. On the contrary, to very many the first day is as busy as any. The ruling under the Law was that any one who even picked up sticks or kindled a fire was a violator of this command, and must be put to death. (Numbers 15:32-35). How many of those who claim to keep this Commandment do far more work in the way of cooking etc. They, their sons, their daughters, their manservants and maidservants? (Exod. 35:3). If that Law is now in force and has been extended beyond the Israelites (on whom alone it was put), so as to include Christians (Followers of Christ) then every Christian violates it repeatedly, and is deserving of death for each offense; for they that violated Moses' Law, died without mercy.-Heb. 10:20. But though our views on this subject differ widely from those of most Christian people, we are glad that one day of each week is set apart for rest from business, without regard to which of the seven days is thus observed, or by what law or law giver it was originally appointed. We greatly enjoy the day, and think it not only a blessing for those who use it for worship and study, but also for those who use it merely as a day of rest, recreation from toil, to enjoy the beauties of nature, or to visit with their friends and families as they cannot do on other days. And we are especially pleased that the day set apart by the Government under which we live is the first day of the week, because of the same blessed memories and associations which gave that day a special sacredness to the Church in the days of the Apostles. The Apostles declared that the Jewish Law (which included the Command relative to the Seventh Day) was superseded by the new and more comprehensive law of the New Creation thereafter in operation toward all who accepted Christ. The Apostles used the Seventh Day as a time for preaching Christ, just as they used every day in the week, and especially because on that day the Jews, their most hopeful hearers, met for worship and study. But the Apostles nowhere recognized the Seventh Day Sabbath as a day of rest, as the Jewish Law Covenant had enforced it. On the contrary, they taught (Romans 14: 5-8) "That any and all days are acceptable for good works done in the service of God and for the benefit of fellow men." —Matth. 12:10-12. The Ransom was given for all mankind, but its benefits are applicable only to those who believe. Thus far the believers are only a few compared with the mass of mankind. These have escaped from all condemnation of all broken laws, while, of the remainder, the world in general still continues under the original condemnation, and Jews who have not accepted Christ are still condemned by Moses Law Covenant. "He that believeth is passed (Recondedly) from death unto life (John 5:24). While he that believeth not is condemned already (John 3:1h). The whole Race of Mankind was condemned six thousand years ago, and, if a Jew, he was additionally bounden by the Law Covenant and has not escaped the condemnation that is on the world (Roman 5:16). The only ones who have escaped his condemnation that has so long been upon all mankind, are referred to by the Apostle Paul (Roman 8:1) "There is, therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." These are the Free Ones: Free from all laws and all penalties, free indeed. "If the Son shall make you free ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:55) This could not possibly apply to any who put themselves under any restraint in keeping the law. But one says, "can it be that God has released these entirely from both the Law given at Eden and the law given at Sinai?" Just so; such ones being justified by the death of Christ and released from their condemnation, and having received His Spirit, which means the are free from all laws so long as the will of Christ is their will and they do His will to the extent of their ability. Under such conditions we repeat, one is only under the law of love. What is the difference between the law of love and the law of thou shalt and thou shalt not? We might illustrate the operation of the law of love by the action of a mother or father who really loves their child. It is absolutely unnecessary to lay down rules for father or mother as to what they should do for the absolute necessities of the child they love. All they need is to know what is best to do and they gladly do it even at the cost of their lives; but one not being moved by the Spirit of love, it is necessary to lay down rules of thou shalt and thou shalt not. Servants would of necessity be in the class governed by thou shalt and thou shalt not. (The Jewish people was a house of servants under Moses). A Son is supposed to act in his father's business from the standpoint of the highest interest and love for the father and his household, therefore you can readily understand that a son would do all that a servant would do and much more. When Christ came He established the House of Sons and all who come into Christ, through consecration of their Law. "Thou shalt and thou shalt not" but are under the law of love for God and all THE NEW YORK TIMES M. H. RICHARD J. HILL. His creatures. Through Him, Christ our best endeavors to do His will are acceptable, and we are reckoned ah having passed from under condemnation to death into justification to life so long as we abide under the blood which secured the New Covenant. In no other way could any be accepted by God; For the law given in Eden was one that required absolutely perfect obedience, and the law covenant given at Sinai demanded the same. Ad now, since we know that God could not give an imperfect law (James 3:11). And since we know that no imperfect person could fully obey a perfect law, we see the necessity for us being free from under the law and accepted in the merit of our beloved Christ. Hence, we conclude that those in Christ, whether they be Jews or Gentiles, are in no sense under the law given at Sinai, graven upon stones, termed, "The Ten Commandments," neither to the ceremonial attachments relating to typical feasts, sacrifices and services.-Heb. 9:1. No wonder then that the Apostle, so earnestly sought to guard the new Gentile converts from becoming Jews and seeking life under the Law Covenant, by which neither he nor his nation had been able to profit. No wonder he exhorted them to stand fast in the liberty of Christ and His gracious arrangements under the Covenant of Grace. It was in view of this danger of their losing faith in Christ's finished work, and trusting for a salvation to their own efforts to keep the law Covenant by works that Paul even prohibited the circumcision of Gentile converts, although he approved of it for Hebrews to whom it was given as a symbol and rite long before the Law Covenant was made. Hence the remark that, "The Gospel to the uncircumcised" the Gentiles was especially Paul's mission (Gal. 2:7-8-14). It will be quite a help in the study of the Scriptures to observe that the Apostles often referred to themselves as having been under the new Law Covenant and subsequently freed from its bondage, and to Gentile Converts as not having passed through such experience—See Gal. 2:17; 3:3-14; 5:5, 6; 8:10; Eah. 2:11-19. Kindly understand me. There are some points concerning God's Plan of Salvation upon which my Adventiss friends ad I will fully agree, but their doctrine of keeping of the Seventh Day as essential to salvation, that the days of creation were periods of twenty-four hours, that Christ will appear materially and literally, and that the whole world of mankind has been and now is on trial for life or death everlasting during this Gospel Age, and that death settles the question as to whether one is lost or saved, are among some of the dead flies of error which make Adventist "Gospel Pudding" nauseating to the logical minded and truth hungry person. I admire the zeal with which the Adventists do what they believe is right in many respects, but I do not admire their closing their eyes to the plain logical truth stated by the Apostle and the Lord Jesus Christ concerning many points of vital interest for the salvation of man I note them to be like many other well meaning persons who are able to quote much scripture but gifted on misinterpretation not intentionally, of course, but ignorantly; but I am very thankful that the God I serve will reward them for all the good they do with good intention; but may it be understood that the highest rewards and blessings in the Kingdom of God will go to those who understand the plans of God and do and teach accordingly (Math. 5:19). Adventism is not the only "ISM" contaminated with error. Nearly all of the "ISMS" have within their "Gospel Pie" the dead flies of immorality of the soul, Hell-fire, Eternal Torment and the doctrines of the Trinity. The Christian has come into relationship with God not under the J. HILL. terms of the Law Covenant made with the Jews, but under the terms of the New Covenant sealed and ratified with the Precious Blood of Christ; The Christians therefore have nothing watever to do with the terms and condition of the Jewish Covenant which bore only upon Israel after the flesh. The fact that by the deeds of the Law Covenant no flesh was justified in "God's sight (Romans 3:20), leads us to rejoice that we have a better covenant with God through Christ. Our Covenant is very much higher than the Law Covenant, just as its mediator, Christ, is much higher than was the mediator of the Law Covenant, Moses; so also is Spiritual Israel (All who come into Christ by consecration), is much higher in every way than was fleshy Israel. The foundation of our covenant is not the Ten Commandments written in stone, delivered at Sinai, but a much higher statement of the Divine Law. The Spirit of that Law, the meaning, the intent, the grand comprehension of that people. Our the comprehension of that people was but an incomplete statement brought down to the measurable comprehension of that people, uOr new Master Jesus, not composed by our Master Jesus, thus shoul not! Thou shalt not! but is composed of one Commandment, "thou shalt love—the Lord thy God and thy fellow Creatures." Love is the fulfilling not only of the Jewish Law but a fulfilling also of the entire Law of God as it relates to Himself and all His creatures. In this New Commandment, there is no reference whatever to a Sabbath Law. Nevertheless, as the Ten Commandments to Israel and their Covenant and their Mediator foreshadowed their higher Law of Love and our New Covenant and Our Great Mediator, so also we find that the Sabbath feature of the Jewish Law has an antitype on a higher plain in the Christian experience—a better Sabbath. In the type it was a physical rest to the natural, typical Israelite; In the antitype it is a mental rest, a heart rest to the antypical Israelite As the Jewish Sabbath Day typified the rest of heart, the joy and peace which Christians may possess through faith in Christ—in realizing their sins frgiven, their iniqities pardoned and themselves reconciled to God through the death of His Son—so also the Law of the New Cove- ```markdown ``` THE TULSA STAR, January 29, 1921 nant, Love, Commands all who are in Christ Jesus to rest in full faith in the great work finished for us, by our Mediator, at Calvary. As the Apostle declares "Being justified by faith we have peace (rest) with God through Our Lord Jesus Christ" Thus we enjoy the rest or Sabbath of our New Covenant. Thus the New Mediator has provided by the Typical Mediator for the Typical Israel. As seven is a type of perfection, of completeness, so the Seventh Day rest was a type of the complete or perfect rest which we have in Christ, which Israel after the flesh never did and never could enjoy. The Sabbath or rest under the New Covenant is not merely for a day—Alas! How weary we would be if we could only rest in Christ one day in seven! But we may rest continually in Christ, every day and every hour—trusting not to our own sufficiency, but to His. Thus we rest from works of self-righteousness, from all efforts to justify ourselves, before God. Accepting the justification freely offered to us through the precious blood, and resting in it continually we have peace with God, rest of heart. We have committed all our affairs into His hands, and are resting in Him—keeping a continual Sabbath all the days of the week and all the weeks of the year. As respects physical rest, however we are under no command respecting this so far as the Lord and His word are concerned, except that our law of Love requires that we shall Glorify God in our Bodies and our Spirits which are His, and hence that we shall observe such rules and regulations in our physical system in relation to our food and clothing and rest as would be glad that all might recognize this matter from this standpoint of the New Covenant, yet we know that none can view it ad observe it from this standpoint except those who have entered into the New Covenant relationship with God, and those we know are comparatively few of the world's population, although our hepe is that in God's due time, the Milennial Age, all mankind shall be brought to the knowledge and appreciation of this New Covenant and may then, if they will, enjoy all of its provisions, including this rest of faith, the antypical Sabbath—which can be enjoyed only by God's faithful people. Meantime, however, the world of mankind, amongst whom we live, have through various misconceptions, both of the Law Covenant and the New Covenant, set apart one day of the week as a Sabbath or rest day, and as Christians who enjoy the real Sabbath of Rest and peace in Christ, we are glad to avail ourselves of the regulations of whilete world to abstain from worldly labor and devote ourselves to Spiritual works. Spiritual feasting and Spiritual upbuilding of character in righteousness on that day. But while recognizing and observing it carefully, because it is the law of the land, and while pleased to have this special opportunity for Christian fellowship and spiritual fellowship and spiritual co-operation, we deny into that it is of Divine obligation. And while we should observe whatever day might be appointed by "the powers that be" we are especially glad that they have by common consent adopted the day which we prefer to all others, because it commemorates the resurrection of Our Lord and Master, and hence it commemorates the beginning of our rest of faith in Him.

One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.50 Three Months ..... 1 00 All Subscriptions Must be Paid in Advance. COLORED DOLLS. WHY NOT? WE HAVE READ quite a little of the man who decided that his child should learn to play with Colored dolls. It was an idea pressed in upon the same father would never think of deciding to purchase nothing but the saue father would never think of deciding to purchase nothing but colored clothing, colored animals, or even colored furnishings. The color perjudice gave rise in his mind to the propriety of worshipping some color other than white, exclusively. Hence, the colored doll for his child. The subtle propaganda of the white race has found rich soil and today it is fashionable to worship the color selected by the Caucasian. The Colored Races have been victimized to a great extent. Almost universally, we find the picture of Christ painted as white, although He was a Jew, and certainly not all Jews are white in color. The predominating hue for the Jew is too dark to be called white. The Japanese do not pretend to be anything but yellow, yet he is taught by the Caucasian that all things pertaining to Christianity, religion and modern civilization is white. We have become slaves to the white color as applied to human beings. All kinds of powders, paints and false skins are made to create white impressions. We have discarded all other colors for the human family. Everybody must be white to be popular. And why? We are not thus enslaved about inanimate things. Black horses are considered the most beautiful. Black gowns for ladies are quite the thing for high occasions. Red feathers for hats, and brown goods for wear all find a popular demand. But when we speak or think of a human being, we at once swear that he or she must be white. It is a matter of cultivation. When we learn to prove some other color, we shall love it devotedly. It is the sign of common sense to teach the child to grow fond of dolls which possess a color like that of the child. The innocent child at play with her dolls almost instinctly fondies them as her children, styling herself the mother. Under our present system of race marriages, it is perfectly normal and rational to expect the child to resemble the parent. Like mother, Who knows but what we need to cultivate the colored doll in order to install in the mind of the little girls that colored mothers are as virtuous as white mothers, and that colored children are as much God's handwork as white children. Suppose we take a few lessons in colors—Pittsburg Courier. RICHARD J. HILL, exponent of the International Bible Students' Doctrine, and one of the foremost thinkers and writers of the present day, desires the church people of Tulsa to know that if their pastor should walk out on a strike for higher salaries, and they therefore find themselves without an expounder of the scriptures, he will gladly give them one sermon a week free of charge—absolutely free of collections of any kind. Mr. Hill is a typical servant of God and a real benefactor to the community, but it will be a difficult matter to convert the clergy to this way of thinking. THE HELL-HOUNDS of Arkansas broke aloose again this week and applied the torch to a human being bound at the stake. Such orgies as this is not conducive to good citizenship and will eventually lead to anarchy among a group of citizens who have always been pacifists at any price. IF THE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE at Oklahoma City is a sample of what we may expect from a republican Congress, God save the country. COLORED REPUBLICANS all over the country are wondering why Mr. Harding has not announced the Colored side of his cabinet. WHILE DISARMAMENT is up for discussion, we suggest that Arkansas be used as the starting point. OKLAHOMA'S COTTON CROP Investigations recently conducted by the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' Association show that 1 at year, where cotton wa. sold local yin pools, the growers realized from $5 to $25 more per bale than the local market offered. At Blanchard, in McClain County the farmers last year sold in 100 bale pools and received from $15 to $25 more than the local market price. Other communities reported like success with the plan. John A. Simpson, State president, Farmers' Union, advises the Association that the Union sold cotton co-operative in a local way at many places in the state last year. "In every instance," says Mr. Simpson, "it has meant a gain of from $5 to $15 per bale. If we can do this much by pooling on a small scale, what we not expect when the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' Association pools 300,000 bales?" The Association, it is explained, will grade, class and staple all of the cotton of all of its members, selling through its own hired marketing specialists, in even running pools, direct to the spinners in many cases. This would be impossible for an individual or small group of individuals to do. The Association, however, controlling 300,000 bales under contract to be marketed through the Association for a period of seven years, can go on the markets of the world with a sufficient quantity of cotton of a given grade, class and saple to command the best price possible to obtain. Officials of the Association assert that the quota of 30,000 members by May 1, will be reached considerably before that date. RAILWAY MEN'S CONTROVERSY CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. 29—The controversy on the adjustment of contracts and salaries before the U. S. Railway Labor Board is still in progress, and is creating unusual interest. J. H. Eiland, Grand President of the Colored Association of Railway Employees with headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., has been a constant attendant at the sessions, and has prepared a brief on the Colored trainmen's organization side which will be presented before the body. Mr. Eiland's organization has a membership of more than 4,000, having been organized less than four years ago, with a membership of about 2,000 trainmen. According to the contentions of the G. A. R. R., the Brotherhood of Trainmen, white, has not only effected contracts and agreements that are giving them undue advantage, but they are obviously discriminatory, and should not be tolerated longer. According to the present arrangement, Colored trainmen in the South where the majority are employed, are diminishing in number constantly, and because of present seiority rules, those who are employed find it almost impossible to advance. It is maintained that the only organization of railway employees represented in the contract with the government were $ _{e} $ organizations composed exclusively of whites, in which Colored men could not become members. The Colored Association is contending for an agreement, national in scope, affecting and protecting all employees in the same departments of service without regard to race or color, so far as working conditions are concerned THE TULSA STAR.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP OFFER WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29—The Leondi Social and Literary Club of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, through Hon. Robt. L. Vann, has recently made available a scholarship of $00.00 for a deserving student at the Howard University Washington, D. C. THE "CROUP" Its Symptoms, Possible Danger; How To Treat By Dr. A. R. Lewis State Health-Commissioner The first signs of the croup appear, as a ruin, in the middle of the night and are noticeable by the hoarse, throaty cry or the hollow barking cough of the child. These outward symptoms are meant to sound the alarm of danger—not to strike terror to the heart of the mother. "Alter the first six months of baby hood, especially during the winter months, lookout for croup!" says an eminent authority and practical mother." Sometimes there will be warning signals of a nasal discharge, slight hoarseness, rise in temperature, or cough; again you may tuck the baby in bed for the night apparently well, only to be disturbed later on by the difficult breathing or hollow cough. Calm your tears with the knowledge that simple croup never kills! The first thing to do is to induce vomiting. This will clear out the throat and larynx and ease the breathing. Give 20 drops or syrup ofpecac every 15 minutes for four or five doses, or tickle the throat with a feather. Older children can be made to swallow tepid water with a little sait or mustard dissolved in it, until vomiting occurs. Clear the intestinal tract with a warm soapsuds enema and give a dose of castor-oil after the stomach is emptied by vomiting. Give steam inhalations, using a teaspoonful of tincture of benzoin to a quart of boiling water. If you have a "croup-kettle" for this purpose, so much the better. Apply these methods of treatment diligently, and after a couple of hours if there is no change in the condition of the sick child, it is best to call the doctor.
