The Washington P Bloody Worse In History of Country BLOODY RACE RIOT IN TULSA WORST IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. Colored American Tulsa Business in Flames—Negroes Beaten and Mobbed—Millions in Property Lost. The worst race riot in the history of the country occurred at Tulsa, Okla., June 6. The toll of human life in the race riot here can only be guessed at, officials say. Many of the first to fall are still lying in the bullet and fire scarred district. The colored quarter, an area of a mile square, which was levelled by fire, has not yet been searched by the militia for bodies. It was there that most of the intense fighting took place, and many colored people are known to have been burned to death. Reports were received at military headquarters that white men carried Negro bodies from the ruins and had buried them outside Tulsa. Some were thrown into the river, it was reported. More than twenty colored Americans were treated at hospitals and first aid stations. According to physicians probably thirty of the injured colored Americans will die. Towns around here reported tonight that hundreds of colored people had passed, fleeing from Tulsa. Sperry, Okla., reported that more than 1,000 of them passed there on their way to the Osage Hills.

Trouble which started when Richard Rawlings was arrested on the charge of "impudence and impertinence" to a white girl in an elevator. Police said he "assaulted" her, and there were threats of lynching. A dozen colored men, hearing of the rumor, armed themselves, marched to the court house and asked to be sworn in as depnties to protect the prison. They were later reinforced by others, and a crowd of whites collected on the opposite side of the street. A white man started the riot by trying to take a gun away from a Negro. He was instantly killed. The battle began. Colored men were outnumbered three to one and fell back into the colored section, which attacking whites immediately set on fire. The state militia was called out and the city put under martial law. Police disarmed colored men by the hundreds, leaving whites their arms. Militia also aided the whites. Firemen took a stand on the edge of the black belt in order to keep the flames there and prevent any white homes from catching fire. Colored Rioters Poorly Armed, But Casualty List, Favorable Despite Handicap. It is said that despite the preponderance of ammunition on the part of the whites, who were abundantly supplied, the colored rioters put up a good fight. The casualty list on the colored American side shows a splendid spirit of defending themselves in the absence of protection from the government. LEAGUE ASKS OF OKLAHOMA FAIR FIGHT CHANCE. Telegraphs Governor Protesting Taking Colored Away From Their Own and Leaving Whites Free. (Boston Herald, June 2. 1921.) The National Equal Rights League last night sent the following telegram to Governor Robertson of Oklahoma on the race war at Tulsa: "Boston, Mass., June 1, 1921. "Gov. J. D. A. Robertson, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. "Associated Press says National Guard instead of protecting colored district has rounded up and arrested colored and not whites, reducing fighting strength of colored for self-protection and increasing strength of whites to murder and fire homes of colored. National Equal Rights League protest military giving whites this unfair fighting advantage or the disarming of colored only. Please direct adjutant general to give colored fair chance to protect lives, families and remaining property. "The Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Presi- dent: W. H. Trotter, E. T. Morris, A. G. Wolf, secretary. Your dollar will help in sending this telegram. EXACT DESTRUCTION NOT KNOWN. The exact amount of destruction, officers said, would probably never be known, as a number of colored Americans perished in the flames, which consumed the entire colored district, which formerly housed 13,000 colored people. A few feeble flames lighted sections of the burned waste, while a few walls rise against a background of impoverishing debris. smouldering cemetery Thousands of families, however, fled to the city, and it is reported some have taken refuge in Bartlesville, Okla. "We have the situation well under control," Adjutant General Barrett said tonight. "We don't anticipate further rioting, although nothing has been overlooked as a precaution against its recurrence. With Tulsa under martial law we expect to see a rapid readjustment of conditions." Hundreds of homeless colored Americans who fled to the country were drifting back tonight. They came afoot and in wagons carrying what few household possessions they could escape with. Crowds of several hundred, resembling refugees in the war zone in France, could be seen trudging back toward Tulsa. The colored people at the fair grounds were being cared for and fed under the direction of a committee composed of prominent citizens. The body was also charged with investigating the riots and fixing responsibility. At a meeting today several members voiced criticism of the action of white men who willfully destroyed property owned by colored people and rendered thousands homeless From shortly before 10 o'clock last night, when the first firing began near the courthouse, until late this morning, the city presented a scene of wild disorder. Hundreds of automobiles bearing armed white men raced about the colored quarter. SET FIRE TO CHURCH One of the hottest engagements of the whole outbreak took place around a colored church; where about fifty colored Americans barricaded themselves. Several massed attacks were launched against the church, but each time the attackers had to fall back under the fire of the colored defenders. Finally a torch was applied to WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY JUNE 11, 1921 the building and the occupants began to pour out, firing as they ran. Several of the colored people were killed. Shortly after midnight the colored district was fired in other places, and at dawn it lay a smouldering mass of ruins. The white invaders, apparently were supplied with inflammables. Governor J. B. A. Robertson of Oklahoma is in Tulsa to make a personal investigation of the race riots. The governor refused to make a statement other than to say he was investigating, but said a statement would be issued later. Stunned by the enormity of their losses—their homes and possessions wiped out by fire and relatives or friends of many of them dead or dying or wounded—the colored population if the city huddled in the fair grounds, east of here, guarded by state troops. The hopelessness of their condition appeared to overcome many of them. Cries of children and moans of women who called out for a husband or son who had been shot down gave the scene a pitiful touch. For the most part the refugees were cared for under the emergency, as the Red Cross, organized again on war footing, brought food and comfort to the sufferers. Permanent buildings on the fairgrounds gave shelter to most of them. The refugees who had been gathered in the Western League Ball Park and Convention Hall during the day were sent to the fairgrounds late in the afternoon by motor cars and trucks, escorted by troops. TAFT. CHARGES RIOT AT TULSA WAS DUE LARGELY TO WHITES. Conclusion, He Asserts, Does Not Excuse Colored Papers' Propaganda Inciting Readers to Use Force-Says Leaders of Both Races Can Avert Clashes. By William Howard Tait. The accounts of the race riots in Tulsa, Okla., are shocking. They create the same feeling of hopelessness as the news from Ireland. That, with a startling suddenness and without warning a bloody battle could break out in the center of a city of 75,000 and a hundred deaths follow, is hard to credit or understand. There must have been many circumstances from which intelligent observers living in Tulsa ought to have anticipated danger. Steps should have been taken by prominent citizens, white and colored, to allay fear and suspicion on both sides. Committees of leading white and colored citizens in other cities where danger threatened have been active to spread among their respective constituencies assurances that there is no real danger of attack by the other, side and that the only danger is from misunderstanding. In this way a riot at Birmingham was avoided. In every such community there are among both races knots and groups of lawless and cruel men who seize the opportunity of race trouble to vent their natural instinct toward violence, murder and rapine and become leaders of the contending mobs, into which are drawn by fear or excitement many otherwise law-abiding citizens. Compares List of Dead. No matter whether it was a colored or a white man who began the initial fight, one cannot escape the conclusion that the awful character of this cruel massacre was largely due to the outrageous malevolence and cruelty of the whites who took part in the conflict. This is clearly indicated by the number of the colored dead as compared with the dead whites, by the wholesale destruction and looting of the colored settlement and business quarter, by the fact that white men prevented the effort of the city fire department to put out the flames, and by the present suffering and home lessness of the thousands of colored people of Tulsa. This conclusion does not excuse, of course, the propaganda which some colored papers are pressing among their readers, inciting them to physical force in the assertion of their equality of right and fanning their passion and their fears by repeating wrongs to colored people in every part of the country. Race Confidence Is Stirred. Race pride and confidence in the prowess of colored veterans of the late war have been stirred to aid in the excitement. In all communities in which such riots are possible there are majorities of whites and colored law abiding and anxious to preserve peace. If the leading men in these majorities in all cities where danger of outbreak is possible will form themselves into committees to stop the outbreak and to take measures to clear away misunderstanding and unfounded fears and to secure proper police precautions, it will be possible to prevent in the future such a bloody murder of many innocents at this at Tulsa. It is a disgrace to our civilization, and everything possible should be done to prevent another such shameful and brutal exhibition. In a country in which we boast of a constitution securing the life, liberty and property of every individual we must blush at such a gross and demoralizing departure from our ideals, and should be profoundly moved to take effective measures to prevent its recurrence. THE BAR HONOR ROLL This being the anniversary week of the Washington Bee, which has rounded out its forty-second birthday on June 6th, in honor of its late editor, W.

Former Fourth Auditor of the Navy Passes Away at His Home Columbus Ralph W. Tyler, torner auditor of the Navy, died suddenly at his home in Columbus, Ohio, June 2d, 1921. During the world war he was appointed as a reporter in the Bureau of Information for the War Department. Meanwhile he took a prominent part in the welfare of the country, and was deeply interested in the colored soldiers. He was a statesman, a politician and a writer of much worth. His writings, written in his characteristic style, were read and enjoyed in every household. Biographical Sketch of Mr. Tyler. Fourth Auditor of the United States Treasury, 1907, and was born in 1859 in. Columbus, Ohio, and educated in the common and high schools of his native city, supplemented by a year at the Ohio State University, and a course in law. For four months he taught school in Missouri, but not refishing the life of a teacher, he became a letter carrier for three years in the city of Cleveland. Next he entered the journalistic field on the "Columbus Dispatch." Having acquired a knowledge of shorthand, hi fame as a reporter grew, so that in 1904 he accepted a position as assistant to the manager of the "Ohio State Journal." He served at the same time as secretary of the Franklin Land Association, a big syndicate of Ohio capitalists. In 1891 Mr. Tyler was married to Miss Carrie Mason, a teacher in the Gallipolis schools; a union blessed with three children, all boys. Before going to Washington, Mr. Tyler had spent seventeen years as an employee of the "Columbus Dispatch," and was for a time employed on the "Ohio State Journal." In May, 1907, President Roosevelt appointed Mr. Tyler auditor for the Navy Department, the second colored incumbent, the first being Hon. John R. Lynch, later major and paymaster in the United States Army. June 1, 1907, Mr. Tyler entered on his duty. In 1913, following the incumbency as President of the United States, Mr. Tyler was superseded by a democrat, and at once assumed his calling as a newspaper writer. A conference of the principal editors of the colored newspapers, was assembled in Washington, with the active concurrence of Secretary of War Baker, in June, 1918, which made several requests of the Wilson administration, one of them being that a reliable colored newswriter be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the Western front in France, for the information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country and to the end that the correct story of the valor and patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred. In compliance with this request, the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyler of Columbus, Ohio, former auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, as a regularly commissioned War Correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France and to make daily reports of the activities and engagements in which the colored soldiers are prominent. He was on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. This was acceded to September 14, 1918. Mr. Tyler went to France, but was so restricted and hampered by military rules and the censors, that his mission was unfulfilled in the spirit that suggested his appointment. On returning he remained in Washington for a short time, and with the co-operation of friends launched several more or less promising financial schemes. None of them were successful, and he returned permanently to. Columbus. Mr. Tyler died very suddenly in Columbus, Ohio, Thursday morning, June 2nd, 1921. DESERVED PRAISE. Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, formerly Miss Jennie Chase, is at home in Washington. She came south after her marriage to Rev. E. W. Williams, D. D., and, assisted by her husband, established a great educational work. Her pupils are filling important positions in all walks of life. We observe through the columns of the Washington Bee that she has entered upon the same altruistic activities that engaged her attention while with us in the south. We, who were in close touch with Mrs. Williams, and know the great work she did for our boys and girls, whele here among us, can only say God bless her every effort. Your gain is our loss. COLORED STUDENTS WIN PRIZE Mr. Clyde William Phelps of Boston, a member of the '22 class in Harvard College, won the Boylston prize for elocation in a recent contest. His subject was "Toussaint L'Overture," by Wandall Phillips. Washington has just ended a week of music festivals which must be long remembered as an example of what amateur talent is able to accomplish and how much pleasure and benefit can be derived from musical activities. Beginning with special musical services at all the churches, followed by muscal Memorial Day and community singing at the community centers every evening during the week., the music week ended Friday with almost 50,000 school children gathered on the Ellipse; who sang patriotic songs in a great serenade to the President. The talent displayed during the music week activities was entirely that of persons of this city, and officials in charge declare that until this affair took place they did not know, or have any idea, of the number of glee clubs, choirs, orchestras and schools of music that are in the National Capital. It is earnestly hoped that permanent value has been derived from this successful music week, not only as a guide for future observances here and as an inspiration to other cities, but also in the increased interest in music which has arisen in every person in this city. The hour of music in the home, which was made a feature of appeals during the musical week, will be continued in many households, and should be done in all. This increased interest in music is sure to obtain practical results. The commencement exercises of the Columbia Conservatory of Music were held last Wednesday evening at the Y. W. C. A, 901 Rhode Island Avenue Northwest. Those who appeared on the program were: Janie Greene, of Boston, soprano; Ethel Neverson, Annie Todd, James L. Eubanks and Vantile Harris, piano department; Julia Grant, eight years old, of the violin department, and Mamie Stewart, Lucie Holland and Alice Johnson, who sang Negro Spirituals by Harry Burleigh and J. Rosamond Johnson. The singing of "Mammy," which won for Master Lenoir Cook of this city a handsome diamond, has added some to the young man's life. It has made him start a wonderful record of his own in the musical world. This song was sung by, special request at the Convention of Amity between colored and white races, held recently in this city. The song was written by Master Cook's uncle and the lyrics by Lester A. Walton of New York. It was dedicated to the latter's mother, whom the family called "mam." As Washington has just ended her wonderful music week it seems that other states may follow. The state of Kentucky for one is planning a musical convention, which will be, on the same basis as the music week in this city. The Kentucky Baptist Musical Convention will meet in Louisville, Ky., during the last part of July, for the purpose of inspiring every one with the love and happiness that music brings. MEMPHIS GOES WILD. OVER HANDY. JAZZ. Memphis, Tenn.—All shades of society of the darker hue, from the kind of a gal, who is said to have made the person lay his good book down to she of darker hue, hewers of work and drawers of water, all at their best, in bib and tucker and in conduct impeccable, were there at the Lyric Theater last Tuesday night with but one object in view, to see the Handy: to hear his players bring weeping tunes from the brass, string and wood, to croon and shout Negro melody, from the kind that suggests the aboreal tendencies of more or less proximate ancestors to the modern jungle. Handy was radiant, both from the heat and from inspiration, and the performance, if anything, went with more dash and vim than did the concert Monday night exclusively for the white devotees of the blues and jazz. The Negro American Legion tendered Handy and his entertainers a reception after the concert. Special police protection was necessary for the many members of darker society who came in their own and other people's runabouts, landau, touring cars, sport cars and limousines. A May festival took place on Leagan Playground on Friday, May 27, at 4:30. The special events were the winding of the May pole and a folk dance by the third, fourth and fifth grade pupils of Logan School; the weaving dance by the seventh and eighth grade pupils. The queen was Miss Mary Fenwick of the seventh grade, with little Alineden Anderson and Lucille Harris of the kindergarten holding her train. Her attendants were Franna James and Lavern Peyton of the eighth grade and Juanita Cheeks of the fourth grade, who wore red, white and blue paper dresses and hats. The festival was largely attended by children, parents and friends. Those present from the playground office were Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Chambers, Misses Kail and White. The children reflected well the excellent training of Mrs. M. J. Dorsey, the playground directress, and her assistants. A FRAME UP. Published statements from the Philippines to the effect that Filipino business men want independence delayed and that Igorrotes are opposed to independence is branded as untrue and a frame up, in a statement issued by the Philippine Press Bureau. "We have received authoritative information that these dispatches are a frame up to influence public opinion in the United States against independence," declares the statement issued by the Philippine Press Bureau. "A few Igorrotes may have been induced to oppose independence, but the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants, practically all of the Filipinos, want independence, and want it now." "The American people should not permit themselves to be influenced by any dispatches from the islands to the effect that Filipinos do not want independence. Such statements are pure fabrication. "If Congress will pass a bill granting independence with the qualification that a majority of the voters must first add their approval, it will be satisfactory to us. This is our answer to the old, shop-worn canard that the Filipino people do not really desire independence. The best way to find out if we want it is to give it to us." AN EDUCATIONAL SURVEY OF AFRICA. (Special to The Bee) The Educational Commission to Africa, headed by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Phelps-Stokes Foundation, and backed by American and European mission boards, with the active cooperation of our own and European governments, has, after months of arduous work along the West Coast, reached Cape Town. Extracts from Dr. Jones' diary, just received in this country, are of vivid interest. They show the keen appreciation in government circles of the value of missionary work from this-world standpoint, as well as the perception by religious bodies that preparation for another world must have regard to better, happier and juster living in this one. In this once far-off "dark continent," now so vitally related to world prosperity, men and women of the finest mold, high government officials and unknown teachers and missionaries are living and dying in the service of backward folk whose development means good for all mankind. It is good to know, after the war horrors, that German Christians have had an honorable share in the hardships and achievements of this difficult African field. The commission, which is made up of Americans, Europeans and native Africans, includes experts in education, hygiene, industry and agriculture. Their purpose is to work out a general plan of education adapted to the needs, of Africa at its present stage of development. An education seems called for much like that being developed among the colored people of the rural South, combining grammar school, agriculture, home industries and character-building; with some higher schools for training leaders and teachers. The full report of the commission will be awaited with interest in government, educational and church circles. BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING NOTES. The Board of Directors met at the residence of Mr. George W. Randall, 316 D Street Southwest, last Friday evening. The Relief Association has improved in number and in financial amounts. The board also approved the applications and will make some recommendations. After the meeting the directors were highly entertained by Mr. Randall. Among those present were Mrs. Freeman, Miss Dorsey, Messrs. Fonsville, R. Taylor, Carter and C. H. Turner. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) After Eugene P. Booze, the chocolate-brown merchant prince, the Mound Bryron, Miss, had gotten off the railroad coach at Union Station, he was told what the Sage of the Potomac had said about his politics. He at once protested and said that "no dying man had grabbed at his straw; that he needed all of his influence for himself, therefore he had none to lend to any one. After hanging around Washington for three long, miserable months, without landing that job of Register of the Treasury, Charley Cottrill told another Ohioan last week that if he didn't land the Register job he would land some other just as good. In other words, that perennial office-seeker from out there in Ohio has started whistling, while going through the graveyard to keep his courage up. And while on this subject, let me say, "sort of extraneously," as Charley Hall would say, it seems that these Ohians have come all the way to Washington to launder their soiled linen. I heard the other day, "and a white man done told me," that when Prof. Scarborough, whom the trustees of Wilberforce University canned a year ago, heard that a nasty fight was being made on Cottrill, and some old, putrid stories, as well as new, were dug up against him, he stroked his chops in glee, figuring that Cottrill was now out of it, which would make it easy for the canned professor to land as Ohio's favorite son with Warren G. But no sooner had the Cottrill crowd, which had formed a hollow square to make a death battle, heard the rumor that the doughty professor, now in the seer and yellow leaf, was tickled to death because of grave, monstrously grave charges were being filed against Cottrill, they, the Cottrill cohorts, began solifluizing out loud so every one could hear, that Prof. Scarborough having a white wife naturally made him person non grata, especially with Confederate brigadiers, and that all triple-black-complexioned ladies, as well as highbrows, saffron yellows, and pear-whites regard a fellow of Professor Scarborough's deep, tan complexion taking a wife as a reflection on the goodness of colored American women. A third gentleman, not an Ohioan, however, thinking that amid all this turmoil he could slip through without any one recognizing him, awoke to find, or learn, that his aspirations for office was being blighted by a frost in the shape of charges that a suspended jail sentence was hanging over him like the sword of Democoles, and other old, forgotten charges were being gathered, merely on the suspicion that he might be the dark-complexioned individual in the woodpile. As the Englishman would say, "it's a nausty affah," and we are downright sorry that it's up. But you know it is sort of traditional—when a fellow starts after an office, his whole life is laid bare—they even tell how often his mother had to change him after giving him cascarets for summer complaint. Just to start the sporting blood in your veins, I'll make a bet, 2 to 1, that there will be no dark-complexioned Register of the Treasury—"white man done told me"—and my advice to Cottrill is to take a Pullman for Ohio, while going is good, and do your watchful waiting out there, cause, as I said before, as long as there is delay there is fault. Well, I have finally learned why Doc Sum Wormley, the prince of fellows around these diggings, and Jim Cobb have never been married. They learned that Casper L. Redfield, the scientist, who knows all about this marrying business, has handed out the dope that in order to get children who will be geniuses—sort of nifty highbrows, you must not marry until you are forty years of age. Now both Cobb and Doc Sum sure do want children who will be brainstorms—regular cyclones in the brain world, and for that reason are delaying their marriage. They seem to think that the longer they delay that "gambler's chance," the surer they will be of having children like Daniel Webster, Rosco Conkling Simmons, Mme. Curlr, or the "ball-bearing lady." Take care, boys, you don't delay it so long that when you do get married you won't even be able to raise a suspicion. Referring to suspicion, reminds me that Charley Hall, has been rounding out a life of about fifty years or so on suspicion that he is a business booster. Well, he is a real booster, and when Truth gets a hearing, she is going to dip her pen in bald-headed facts and write in your and my memory that Charley Hall, even if he didn't have much kale, has contributed as much to the business sport shown by the opaque-complexioned folks around here as anybody. Charley has been doing more: business talk than Pierpont Morgan ever dreamed of. You have to hand it to this kerosene --- blond from out in Illinois. He's the goods, and I wish there were more Charley Halls. Prohibition coming on, like a thief in the night, never for one moment stopped Charley telling us black and tans that we had better get into business, start building and loan associations, and all kinds of business—except making home brew. You are all right, Charley, even if you do lisp just a wee bit. There is room in this country, and in this old berg of gossip, for a million Charley Halls, and I will bet my last quart of Green River on his being over 100 proof. The boys who fought in the trenches—political trenches—seem to think that Prexy Harding is taking a devil of a long time to pry that white man from that $10,000 per annum job down in Haiti. And the boys who fought in the trenches over in France seem to think that these worthy old politicians who remained back here on their political fences just naturally don't want to let the real trench soldiers have a look in. When the boys were "over there" fighting and dying, and getting hell from "Old Cracker" officers, these same worthy politicians said: "If you do ever return, you gets everything, and we take what's left." Now they are saying: "We takes everything, you gets what's left." Just to see how much sporty blood there is in you, I will bet thirteen cents to a petrified doughnut that from this time on you will never hear one faint sound from Perry Howard about "lily-whites," or about Prexy Harding's plan for handing out plums in Georgia. A $5,000 job covers up a multitude of sins, and makes a fellow calous to this "keepin' the colored American down in the gutter." Look out for yourself, Perry, for heaven knows none of 'em, not even Prof. Dubois, will look after you when you get old and rheumaticked. GEORGETOWN JOTTINGS. Rev. Butler Field, secretary of the Epworth League, preached an inspiring sermon. to a large gathering at the Mount Zion M. E. Church last Sunday. The choir of said church rendered the songs for the occasion. The evening sermon at 8 o'clock was preached by the pastor of the church, Rev. A. J. Mitchell. The Georgetown Patriarchy, No. 42, was at Rockville, Md., May 30th, where they were successful in capturing the prize of $50.00, competing against Patriarchy, No. 18, of this city and Patriarchy, No. 175, of Alexandria. The commands were all that the 2,000 people wished, and the grand street parade was cheered all the way. The Laurel Leaf Lodge, No. 6502, of G. U. O, of O. F. were in charge of the affair given. It was one of great success, and will be long remembered by those who saw it. BRUTAL HAITIAN RULE. Japanese Newspapers Assail the United States. (Special to The Bee.) New York, June 6.—That Japan is using propaganda in its newspapers to expose the cruelty of Americans in their 'treatment of darker races was brought out in a sermon last Sunday at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church by Rev. Henry Sloane Coffin (white). He declared that what has happened in Haiti in the last six years is a shocking chapter in our national history over which every American must hang his 'head in shame. Dr. Coffin charged that no attempt has been made by the United States to help Haiti toward self government and that the natives of the island had been treated 'as inferior, and those who displeased the American officers were shot down, burned alive in their homes or thrown in prison. The minister said that while Americans have paid little attention to news items from the republic they have been given wide circulation in the press of Japan. "The Japanese papers have been filling columns with accounts of American atrocities in Haiti," said Dr. Coffin. "They have pointed out that everything of which we have complained in Japan's treatment of the Koreans, our authorities have been guilty of in our treatment of the people of this tiny and backward sister republic. "While we have been rendering lip homage to democracy, we have been unblushing and cruel military imperialists in our dealings with this weak neighbor. It is a great flagrant instance of bullying oppression of black, and often ignorant men, accompanied by a sordid attempt to exploit their resources." A number of native Haitians are now in Washington, D.C., seeking a conference with the President for the purpose of relieving conditions in the new republic. It is said that the big money interests in Wall Street is responsible to a large degree for the cruelty practiced on the natives by the Americans. The Haitian president's salary was withheld for many months because he refused to sign papers giving certain American capitalists power in the little republic. American newspaper writers have described conditions in Haiti as deplorable, one declaring that its greatest need is the expulsion of the United States Marines. AT LAST! THEY CATCH A BOMB THROWER IN-CHICAGO. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., June 6—The perpetrators of bomb outrages on the homes of colored Americans are in the clutches of the law. At least this is the opinion of numbers of colored and white people who have been watching the development of the campaign recently launched to capture the persons and their backers who have exercised a reign of bomb terror for the past several years throughout the city. Andrew Kerr, a member of a local union labor organization, was arrested in the early part of the week as a bomb suspect. Mr. Kerr, feeling that the police had the goods on him promptly began to talk, with the result that within a few hours following his confession the police had in their net the men who bombed the home of ex-Alderman Oscar De Priest, as well as others who are alleged to have been the principals in a large number of instances of labor disputes in which the bomb was used as an instrument of quite ungentle persuasion. It was not long after the arrests that rumors began to fly around that the Hyde Park Improvement Association, the organization which has been accused of being behind the numerous bombing of colored people's homes, would be hopelessly involved in the matter. Kerr admits that he, with others, under arrest, were hired to do bombing. Colored people's homes were among the places bombed by this nefarious gang. It follows, many people declare, that the gang was hired to bomb the homes of colored people by parties who had the money to pay for the work. It is definitely known that the Hyde Park anti-Negro Association possessed a fund acknowledged by its members of more than $200,000 with which to prosecute a campaign to crowd out and prevent the occupation of certain territory by colored families. In the De Priest bombing Kerr flatly declares that he and his companions were hired to do the job because of their expert knowledge of the game of bombing. Up to the present he has declined to tell who were the parties behind him in this particular instance. The police express the opinion that he is not through talking, and that when he becomes hard pressed he will then open his mouth very wide and tell all he knows about the recent bombings. Then the fur is expected to fly with a vengeance. If the opinions of the people who have been alert to follow all the clubs that have been unearthed within the past year are worth anything, the group of associations who have been busy pushing a vigorous anti-Negro propaganda in our city have good reason to quake with fear. Two gangs of expert bombers are under arrest. It is now confidently expected that within a few days that the backers of these toughs and criminals will also be in the toils. In the meantime a group of colored men are adding to the defense fund for the purpose of bringing the bombers to justice and thereby the reign of bombing terror which has caused so much unrest among the respectable colored people in the great city of Chicago. GRAND JURY RETURNS INDICTMENT. Eight White Men Charged With Murder of Colored Man—Other Suspects Indicted. Portland, Me., June 6—Eight seamen were indicted for the assault and murder of James Walker, 45, colored sailor of the schooner Mary F. Barrett, when the grand jury rose from special session this afternoon. All are in the Cumberland County Jail, where they have been held without bail since their arrest, a week ago today, a few hours after Walker was missed and before his body was found alongside the Maine Central Coal Wharf. The case will be placed on the trial docket, but may not be reached for two weeks. There are also fifteen secret indictments, several against suspects who have not yet been arrested, and others for lesser offenses in connection with the wholesale assault of the schooner's crew. Judge Bertram L. Smith of the Penobscot County Superior Court will sit here for ten days while Judge Sanborn takes a respite from exertions of almost continuous service in civil and criminal trials here the past few months. Those indicted for murder today are: Neils S. Rundquest, 26, of Portland, Marine fireman; Neils P. Clauson, 46, agent of Sailors' Union, of Portland; Daniel Fallon, 23, marine fireman, of New York city; William J. Garrity, 35, oiler, of Cambridge, Mass.; Thomas Hardy, 32, marine fireman, of Boston, Mass.; Michael O'Grady, 21, sailor; Peter J. Dirks, 26, marine fireman; Antonio Andrade, 29, agent for the Marine Firemen's Union, of Portland. CONVICT PEON FARM $ ^{5} $ BOSS Life Imprisonment Given Man Who Admitted Murders. Covington, Ga., June 6.—Clyde Manning, Negro farm boss for John S. Williams, was convicted of murder in Superior Court here late today and sentenced to life imprisonment—the same sentence passed upon Williams when he was convicted here a short time ago. Manning had testified he aided Williams in killing Negro farm hands to halt a peonage investigation, but declared he acted in fear of his life. The jury was out thirty-five minutes and then returned the same verdict as that of the Williams jury—murder, with recommendation for mercy—which automatically carried a life term. Manning was tried on the specific charge of the murder of Lindsey Peterson, of whose murder Williams was convicted, and today he calmly recited the story he told at the Williams trial, asserting that he and another Negro killed eleven farm hands on Williams' orders. Under Georgia law Manning could not have been held accountable had he been able to convince the jury he killed the men through fear of his own life. JOHN A.

C., Is the Commencement Speaker. Continued From Last Week In his address, Captain Ford called attention to the fact that much depends upon the elementary schools of the state. He said that his heart and soul were in the work of advancing educational standards, but that only through elementary school efficiency can such institutions as the Morgantown University and Collegiate Institute be maintained on an effective basis. Governor Morgan laid particular emphasis on the necessity of both spiritual and intellectual education. No such condition as is brought on through work of the highest type of citizenship can result from intellectual training alone, he said. Both must go together. It was the governor's first official visit to the institution, and he expressed himself as being highly pleased with conditions there. He was particularly interested in the many exhibits of the students and viewed with interest the displays of masonry and dressmaking. Responsibility Is Great. Miss Burroughs, the commencement speaker, was introduced by President John W. Davis. She gave an able address. She said that responsibility on teachers, parents and students is increasing and all must respond. "The proper kind of a citizen in future years largely depends upon the parents of today," she said. "Education is threefold," she added, "mental, spiritual and physical. No one can be left undone. "The colored Americans of West Virginia must prove their worth. You can be as valuable as any other one group of citizens in the state." She emphasized the necessity of the young colored American awakening to the opportunities around him and to work to accomplish a noble end for both himself and the state. She charged the graduates to return to their communities and prove their value. "You cannot afford to return home and live an easy life," she said. "You must work." Following the addresses, prizes were awarded as follows: A. B. Fleming and Brooks Fleming, prize of $100 for highest general average and creditable record in deportment, awarded to Alexander Washington, freshman, of Clarksburg. Prize of $100 offered by the same gentlemen for excellency in scholarship in senior high school department, awarded to Clara Fairfax. W. E.

It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy lather, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

The Tulsa riot was another great blot upon American civilization. There is nothing in the annals of justice or right to justify such lawlessness and wholesale murder of innocent people, because of the color of their faces, whether they be black or white.

It is well to doubt all reasons for the cause, there are so many afloat, until the real one is established by investigation by the proper authorities. Too often the same reason has been assigned in the past, only to be contradicted in subsequent dispatches. Whatever the cause, there is no reason for the wholesale destruction of blocks of homes, which were completely wiped out by the torch, and for the many other atrocities that were committed. These homes of the poor colored people, with their meager opportunity of earning much of the world's money, have been built by them at a great sacrifice.

TRUE LOVERS OF RACE ENTERPRISE. The Bee thinks that all true lovers of race enterprises should continue to give loyal support to the noble and courageous men who have combined under the name of "Exhibitors' Association" for the purpose of devolping race enterprises in general. The splendid theaters now being operated by this association are the pioneer theaters, which came into existence at a time when the segregation against the race in the local theaters of other races was most acute. The men who own and control the colored theaters have opened their doors to every movement for the advancement of our people. Let the people continue to stand by them until they have struck the last note in the highest development of all that is best for the education of our people. THE PROCESSION A LONG ONE.

There are many other things to be considered, not the least among them being the personality of the individual, the impression he has made upon the community, and the great breadth of experience in and knowledge of all of the other grades below the one sought. How can a builder build successfully a building if his knowledge of the foundation and superstructure are not coequal? The Bee thinks that the latter qualification should be the leading major one. Then there would be an unbroken bond of sympathy and mutual confidence between pupil and teacher, from kindergarten to top. Perhaps these ideals may be realized as the faculty of this school has decided to elect a candidate to fill the vacancy. The name of the successful candidate will in turn be presented to the higher-ups for their approval. Precedents of this method of appointment in the democratic method which was employed in the choice of Dr. Newton of the Western High School: A MAN AMONGST MEN. "He who makes the world brighter, more joyous, and better, has not lived in vain. He who touches the heart cord of the people—awakening their sympathy, pity and humanity—does more than portray human emotions; he subtly and perhaps unconsciously aids in the great work of bringing humanity into closer relationship, knitting into a unit the hope, fears, smiles and tears of rich and poor, and in the long run contributing the force of his genius toward emphasizing the brotherhood of man." y democratic!

GRADUATING EXERCISES OF FELINGHUYSEN UNIVERSITY. "Sic itur ad astra" was the motto inscribed upon the banner of the Frelinghuysen University, which preceded the scholastic procession of the Board of Directors, the faculty, the candidates for degrees at the Dunbar High School, Thursday evening, June 2d, the occasion being the annual commencement of the Frelinghuysen University. The choir of St. Luke"s P. E. Church, led by Dr. W. Scott Mayo, sang S. Coleridge Taylor's composition, "By the Waters, of Babylon," and the scriptures were read by Rev. William Wallace McCary, Dean of the School of Theology, followed by the invocation by Bishop I. N. Ross of the A. M. E. Church. Prof. Jesse Lawson, President of the University, spoke substantially as follows: "Were I a preacher tonight I would speak from the text: 'Out of Egypt have I called my son.'" "Just forty years ago tonight, standing upon the rostrum in that upper chapel at Howard University, it was my pleasure and privilege to deliver what was styled 'The Latin Oration' to the class of 1881, then about to graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences of the above-named University. Within those forty years the history of our present-day civilization has been made. "For forty years a voice has been ringing through me, proclaiming: 'Out of Egypt Have I called My Son.' It should be observed, that epochs of history seem to occur every forty years. Moses, the great leader and lawgiver, was for forty years schooled in the lore and literature of ancient Egyptians; for forty years that same Moses attended the flocks of his father-in-law, Jethro, the Midianite; and forty years did he dwell in the wilderness, as the leaer and lawgiver of the Children of Israel, when God took him. "We have been under American tutelage for 302 years, and yet they say that we are a 'child race,' still in our adolescence. That may be true, but we proclaim it from the house top tonight that, like the sturdy oak and the everlasting elm, we have been taking root downward, and gaining strength, inspiration, nourishment and power from the American soil, until at this, the dawn of the second decade of the twentieth century, we have grow to be 100 per cent pure Americans! Match us anywhere, if you can, for Pure Americanism! We are not Negroes, but Americans! That starry flag is ours! Ours to love, ours to cherish, ours to support, ours to defend and ours to follow where it leads! We have never faltered in our devotion to the cause which the Stars and Stripes represent, and we have reason to expect protection under the aegis of the law of which the American flag is an insignia! The Frelinghuysen University was called into being to fill THAT VACANT CHAIR IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM by affording an opportunity for those who have never had a chance to obtain a liberal education, at such times and under such circumstances as were suitable to them to get such an education, and for the purpose of taking religious and social influences to the homes of the masses, and for the moral and social development of the people. How well the Frelinghuysen University is filling its mission may be attested y the character of the men and women it sends forth to battle in the world's great contests. We invite you to visit the institution and see it in full operation. "We feel that we have a peculiar work to do, and there is to us a cosmic consciousness in the voice, 'Out of Egypt have I called my son.' Professor Lawson concluded by introducing Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas as a man small of statue, but a giant in intellect. Senator Capper said: "Having been introduced by your President as a man small of statue, reminds me of an incident which occurred when I was Governor of Kansas: 'A farmer, who had never seen a Governor, although he had lived in Kansas all his life, came fourteen miles to hear me speak and to see the Governor, at the State fair. The man got as close to me as he could and listened attentively to every word I said, but I saw by his countenance that he was disappointed. At the conclusion of the ceremonies I sought the farmer out and inquired of him what the matter was. He said that when he came to Topeka he expected to find a man as Governor weighing at least 200 pounds.' "I have made inquiries respecting the work of the Freelinghuysen University, and I hear that you are doing excellent work at your institution, and I congratulate you. Out west the racial question does not bother us much. We believe in the equality of men. We believe that every man is entitled to equal protection under the law of the land, and we intend that he shall have that protection. The bravery and the patriotism of colored Americans have been demonstrated on the battlefields of the republic and across the waters, and I say, unhesitatingly, that our colored fellow-citizens are entitled to every right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution." On Sunday evening, May 24th, Rev. J. Milton Waldron preached the baccalureate sermon at Shiloh Baptist Church, from the text, "As a Man Thinkest in His Heart So Is He." "Our so-called great colleges and universities," said he, "are making a mistake by sending men forth in the world as being educated who have never learned how to think. Do they not know that all right action must proceed from right thinking? There is another tendency creeping into our schools of theology; men are being taught to disregard the truths contained in the Holy Scriptures. They are told that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God, but an ordinary man, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Such institutions have outlived their usefulness and should be thrown to the discard. "The Frelinghuysen University stands for the higher and better education of the colored people, and, as your President says, is the only institution at the Nation's Capital, for higher education, owned and controlled by colored men." Degrees were conferred upon the following-named persons: Bachelor of Divinity—Junius A. Wheeler. Bachelor of Laws—Preston H. Harris, Thornton M. Hunt and Elmer S. Spriggs. Master of Laws—Robert D. Brooks, Edmund Hill, jr.; Zeph P. Moore, Philip C. Reed, Walter E. Scott and Joseph H. Stewart. Doctor of Philosophy—Sylvester L. McLaurin. Doctor of Chiropactic—John E. Banks, Sylvester F.

Logan, Osceola F. N. Madden, w. Scott Mayo, George Plummer, Lucille G. Kiley, J. Henerson Stewart and May M. Tyler. The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon Rev. M. W. D. Norman and Rev. J. Miltonwaldron. Certificates were awarded as follows: High School—John T. Ellis and James M. Poaches. Household Economics—Willie Horad, Mamie I. Miles, Mamie E. Smith and Mary Williams. Practical Nursing—Amanda Adams. Arkansas Bill to Keep Colored Americans Out of Army Is Stillborn. Secretary of War Weeks has let it be known that any state may include colored Americans in the Federalized National Guard, in such proportions as they may determine, on an absolute basis of fairness. This information the Secretary gave to Attorney W. Clarence Matthews of Boston, in an interview at the War Department. It repudiates the order issued by former Secretary of War Baker, which has caused the nation-wide criticism, and which has prevented the colored Americans from enlisting in National Guards except as "pioneer or labor organizations." The Associated Press recently carried an extensive story on this subject, which was placed personally before the Secretary of War, Vice President Coolidge and others. Vice President Coolidge took a personal interest in it, because when he was governor of Massachusetts he was prevented from forming a battalion of Massachusetts National Guard in the regular state quota in a manner in keeping with the traditions of the state. At that time Mr. Coolidge proceeded to organize anyway, and declared that the commonwealth of the state would stand back of him and the organization until a change in the administration was made. At that time Mr. Coolidge was not a candidate for office of any kind. When Mr. Matthews, who was formerly assistant district attorney in Boston, in company with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, took the subject up with the Vice President, and Mr. Matthews reminding him of his remarks made some time ago, Mr. Coolidge, true to his promise, took the matter up immediately with the Secretary of War. The decision of Secretary Weeks, who will doubtless issue a formal statement on the subject, permits Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, where there have been National Guards for years, to organize on just basis. It will also permit other states as may desire to organize colored units, to organize them on a fair and just basis in keeping with the principle and justice. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

Chicago, Ill., June 6.—A verdict awarding Ada Dozier, 3515 Federal Street, a colored woman, damages of $2,300 against the city of Chicago, was returned by a jury of white men in Superior Court before Judge Samuel Stough, last Friday. This was the first of thirty-eight damage cases against the city originating in the race riots of July, 1919, to be tried. Of the venirmen selected all were white except Ellis Thompson of 6220 South Morgan Street, who was rejected by assistant state's attorney representing the city. It was brought out at the trial that during the rioting a committee had waited on Mayor Thompson and been assured of ample police protection.

Construction of a hospital costing $2,000,000 near Tuskegee, Ala., to care exclusively for disabled colored American former service men, is under construction by the government, it was said at the Treasury. It is expected, officials said, that the institution will have 1,000 beds. Establishment of the hospital near Tuskegee is being discussed, officials explained, as the co-operation of the famous educational institution there is desired in working out plans for the relief of disabled former service men of the race. The new hospital is being considered in the line with the general hospitalization plans of the Treasury for the providing of adequate medical and surgical facilities for veterans of the world war.

A tribute of music and flowers was paid the President and Mrs. Harding on last Friday by the school children of Washington in ceremony in the White House Ellipse, bringing to a climax the city's Music Week. In vastness of proportions it far exceeded all expectations. Floral Lyre Presented. Following this was the presentation to President Harding of a lyre 6 feet high, composed of cornflowers and yellow cosmos. Dr. Abram Simon, president of the board of education, made the presentation speech. President Harding replied briefly, expressing his appreciation of the work done by the promoters of music week. He declared that he "had never heard such music as from the sparkling city." "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," was the next song pealed forth from the throats of this ocean of children. As "three cheers for, the red, white and blue" still lingered in the air, children representing the various schools of the District began to carry to the presidential platform flowers of every hue, somewhat wilted, but still impressive, until a veritable mountain of flowers obscured the stage. "Washington," dedicated to the national capital, was chorused by the students of the Junior High School under the direction of Miss Edith B. Athey, civic organist. William T. Pierson of this city is the author of the song. Howard Theatre Andrew J. Thomas Theatre Company, Props. Vincent B. Thomas,Mgr THE HOWARD THEATER Andrew J. Thomas Theater Company, Proprietors.

We Are Opening Our Service With All First-Class Cars (Open and Closed Cars) Prices in City Proper, 75c to $1.00-By the Hour, $2.50 to $4.00 The Commencement Address Strong Feature of Exercises. (Special to The Bee) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 6. The commencement sermon which was the opening event of the Forlieth annual commencement exercises of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was preached by Dr. Charles W. Crisler, pastor of the Galloway Memorial Methodist Church, Jackson, Miss. Dr. Crisler selected as his text: "For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called to his servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his ability; and straightway took his journey." The text was not treated from a theological viewpoint but rather from the standpoint of everyday problems. In the discourse Dr. Crisler pointed out many interesting and instructive facts which were of much value to the students as well as the large number of visitors present. Springtime-Summertime In addressing the graduating class Dr. Crisler said: You have been trained for leadership, which in the final analysis means the power of keeping just ahead of those under you and inducing them to follow. That is real leadership. You are going to find that, all along life, men and women are doing important work, but they are failing because they feel that they are not appreciated. You may not know anything about that lonely feeling of a person who has entered into a difficult situation that affects the whole community and finds that the community has left him to work out the problem alone, to take the abuse and everything that goes along with it. I want to say to you that there are many men and women hard pressed, trying to do their best but feeling so much alone in their efforts, whom you can cheer, to whom you can give inspiration that will perhaps make life for them a success thereby falling yourself into a great leadership. Made without the use of gelatine, gums, starch or fillers Made with pure cream, pure milk, pure cane sugar and natural flavors. THERE IS NONE "JUST AS GOOD" There are hundreds and thousands going down under their load because they have not the consciousness of some one's sympathy. I tell you, as you go out, to cheer those who are lonely, put new life and resolution into them. You will then be inducing others to follow and take up the great work. Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 I want to say to you in closing as I have said to many boys and girls: Men and women, white and black, are going down for the lack of inspiration and help. There are great masses of people, who need you, who are calling for you. You are the knights of the twentieth century and as a knight when knighthood was in flower who carried a sword and stood before the enemy with heroic determination, so will you men and women be forced to face the difficulties that will confront you. When Robert Bruce was dying, having longed to visit the Holy Sepulchre he called Black Douglas to his side and said: "Black Douglas, I have always wished to go in quest of the Holy Sepulchre. I am dying and I want you to take hold of my hand and with your other hand toward heaven say, 'When Bruce dies I will take his heart incased in gold or silver to the Holy Sepulchre and place it there.'" This knight swore to the strange request, and when Bruce died he set out upon his mission. On the journey he was beset on all sides by difficulties and enemies and was losing ground in the crusade. The enemies of Christianity were pressing his men back; when finally Black Douglas stood upon an elevation and threw the heart in its golden case into the midst of the enemy and cried: "You men of Christ and Son of the Living God, Black Douglas dares to go where the heart of Bruce lies," and his men rallied to his side and the victory was won. ```markdown ``` I say to you knights of the twentieth century, "Go forth with your hearts uncovered to defeat the enemy and under the cross of Jesus Christ bring back the victory." I tell you young men of the graduating class to gird yourselves, set your faces to the future and swear by God's grace to do your duty though you fall. But you will not fall. A SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINING OF COLORED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR SERVICE Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship.

Government Consul in New York Says His Country Does Not Want Colored People From U. S. New York, June 6.—Refusal of the Brazilian Consul in New York to vise the passport of Philip Q. Nolte so that he might leave this country for Brazil, and a sharp letter of protest to Secretary Hughes of the State Department constitute the latest sensation here. Nolte, who wished to go to Brazil on business, and possibly settle there, secured a passport from the State Department and carried it to the Brazilian Consul at 17 State Street in order to have it vised. On three separate occasions the consul refused, saying that he was carrying out the instructions of his government. Mr. Nolte put the matter in the hands of Assistant District Attorney Ferdinand Morton, who sent the following letter to Secretary Hughes of the State Department: May 23, 1921. Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: On the 20th day of this month Philip Nolte, whom I represent, presented to Senor Muniz, the Brazilian vice consul in this city, for his approval, a passport to Brazil theretofore duly granted and issued to Mr. Nolte by the American authorities. Senor Muniz declined to approve the passport and informed Mr. Nolte, who is a colored man, that the Brazilian government did not desire colored persons to enter Brazil, and had instructed him not to approve passports for such persons. Mr. Nolte states that he has received information from various sources to the effect that the attitude of the Brazilian government was correctly stated by Senor Muniz and was adopted at the request of the American government during the previous administration. Will you be kind enough to inform me the attitude of the Brazilian government, and whether such a request as the one above mentioned was made to that government by the --- 1847 7th St. N. W. American government during the previous administration? Inasmuch as the refusal of Senor Muniz, as the representative of the Brazilian government to approve the passport of my client for the reason assigned was a clear violation of the treaty between this nation and Brazil, I respectfully request that appropriate representations be made by you to the Brazilian government accompanied with a request that Senor Muniz be directed immediately to approve the passport of Mr. Nolte, unless there are valid and lawful reasons for withholding approval. Respectfully yours, F. Q. MORTON. LOCAL NOTES.

President Harding, in a’ speech de: livered at Oxford, Pa., yesterday er route home from this week-end wisi at Valley Force, denounced the. recent racé riots at Tulsa, Okla.

Howard, manager versity ten years ago, President Harding, standing on the campus and near the memorial gateway, said: - “It is a very great pleasure to, stop for a few-moments to offer a word of greeting to such an institution on such: an occasion.’ The colored citi- zenship of America in the world war earned its right to be -memoralized. Much is said about the problem of the races, but let’ me tell you there is nothing government: can do which ig akin to educational work. . Race Must Prepare Itself. /“Qne of -the great difficulties ‘with popular government is‘ that the citi- zenship expects at the hands of gov- ernment that which it should do fr. itself. No government can wave 2 magical’ wand and take a race from bondage to citizenship in half a cen- tury. “All that’ the: government can do is. to afford the opportunity. The colored racé, to come into its own, must do the-great work itself in pre- Paring for that participation, “Nothing ‘will accomplish so much as educational preparation, I com- mend the valiable work which this institution is doing in that direction. It is a fine contrast to the unhappy and distressing spectacle that we ‘saw ‘the other day oiit in one of the’ West- ern States.
