Investigation Is Made
Investigator for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Returns from Oklahoma to New York.
Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, returned today after a personal investigation of the recent race riot in Tulsa, Okla., saying that between 150 and 200 colored Americans were killed in the riots and at least fifty white persons. Mr. White declared that the riot was largely due to a misuse of the word "attack" and "assault," the impression being given that a colored man had attempted rape upon a white girl, whereas he had merely stumbled in an elevator, and in attempting to recover his balance stepped upon her foot.
"Abuse and misuse of the word assault caused the entire conflagration. A white girl operating an elevator in a public building, declared that a colored boy had attempted to assault her. Without stopping to inquire, and without considering the utter impossibility of criminal assault being perpetrated in broad, open daylight in the public elevator of a public building, on a principal street of a town of 100,000, a senseless mob set out to 'avenge the honor of white womanhood.'
"As a result, between 200 and 250 white and colored citizens are known to have been killed, an unknown number of colored men and women and children were burned alive, forty-four square blocks of business and residential property valued at a million and one-half dollars were destroyed, and everlasting damage done to the name of Tulsa and of Oklahoma.
"In justice to Tulsa it must be said that a large percentage of the white inhabitants condemned in unmeasured terms the outrage which has been perpetrated. The Salvation Army, the Red Cross, local relief agencies and churches have done commendable work in providing food, clothing and shelter for the destitute victims of the riot.
tims of the riot.
"Tulsa's experience is exceedingly important, in that conditions which led to its night of terror exist in many other cities North and South, and unless unusual efforts are used the gravest consequences are to be feared. Some of the white citizens of Tulsa are attempting to blame the riot on the 'radicalism' of colored newspapers. When I questioned them regarding the nature of this radicalism, I found invariably that it consisted of demands by colored Americans that the federal Constitution be enforced and that lynching, peonage, disfranchisement and Jim-Crowism be abolished.
disfranchisement and Jim-Crowishism
“There will be a state of investigation of the riot, but in the opinion of the citizens of Tulsa it will amount to nothing. The Tulsa riot has convinced me that the only hope of averting repetitions of it lies in federal interference.”
COLORED BATTALIONS NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN MASS- SACHUSETTS GUARD.
Boston, Mass.: Demand upon the Adjutant General of Massachusetts to know whether the Second Separate Battalion of Infantry of Massachusetts had been included in a regiment, as had been reported after a favorable forecast issued by the Associated Negro. Press, revealed that the same National Guard segregation initiated by the Wilson administration with the sole difference of a change of designation from "Pioneer Infantry" to "Auxiliary Engineers." The reply reads:
More important still was the following letter, constituting the "ruling of the War Department" mentioned above, from the Secretary of War Weeks to the Governor of Massachusetts.

More important still was the following letter, constituting the "ruling of the War Department" mentioned above, from the Secretary of War Weeks to the Governor of Massachusetts.
Hon. Channing Cox, Gov. of Mass.
Boston, Mass.
My. Dear Gov. Cox: Mr. W. A.
Matthews, colored lawyer of Boston,
has interviewed me on the subject
of the recognition of a company of
Colored men in the Massachusetts
National Guard.
I find on investigation that the Bureau of Military Affairs has offered the recognition of this unit as Auxiliary Engineers, and the National War Department has determined for National Guard that it would be inadvisable to have mixed units, some white and some Colored, and that is the reason why the organization can not be recognized as infantry.
The recognition of this unit as Auxiliary Engineers, however, puts them in a class which is considered by the War Department as very high grade, the Engineers being specially selected troops.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN WEEKS,
Sec. of War.
MINISTERS' CONFERENCE.
The Rev. Laurence Fenninger, who is the chaplain at Hampton Institute, has announced, as executive secretary of the Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute, the program for the eighth annual meeting, which will be held from June 27 to July 1 in Memorial Church. "The Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute," says Mr. Fenninger, "was organized to afford an opportunity to ministers of all denominations to meet for a few days of study and discussion of the great common problems which they are facing in their work."
The following Conference lecturers have been secured: Rev. Levi Batman, pastor of the First Christian Church, Youngstown, O.; President Butterfield, of Massachusetts Agricultural College; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Funds, Charlottesville, Va.; Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist Church, New York City; Rev. Hermann N. Morse, director of publicity of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, New York; Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the "A. M. E. Church Review," Oceanport, N. J.; and Archdeacon James S. Russell, principal of the St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va.
The annual sermon will be preached for the Conference by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Ashby, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Norfolk, June 27.
The officers of the Conference include Rev. M. E. Davis, Norfolk, president; G. W. Jimmerson, Newport News; L. L. Downing, Roanoke; S. S. Morris, Norfolk; D. J. Lee, Norfolk; J. T. Johnson, Hampton; A. A. Hector, Richmond; and E. E. Ricks, Newark, N. J., vice presideht, and J. W. Lemon, Ark, Va., recording secretary.
GRANTED. NEW, TRIAL AFTER A LONG WAIT.
Clara Johnson, 19 years old: convicted of manslaughter in connection with the killing of Detective Sergt. Wilson during the race riot which took place in this city almost two years ago, in July, was granted a new trial by Justice Siddons in Criminal Division 1. Because the late Justice Gould had expressed to him, the court said, a doubt he entertained of the correctness of his ruling in refusing a prayer of Attorney B. L. Gaskins, for the defense, concerning the law of self-defense in the case Justice Siddons felt compelled to grant the new trial.
When this affair happened Clara Johnson was 17 years old, the court pointed out, and was scared undoubtedly at the noise made by the tramping feet of the detectives as they entered her home at night, and might easily have reached the conclusion that the approaching men were members of a mob and that she might be the victim and so fired the fatal shot. A jury ought to be allowed to pass on this phase of the situation, the court stated.
BEATEN BY POLICEMAN.
Until our officers of the law learn how to abide by it, we need have no hope for reform in the acts of violence from mob rule throughout the country.
Mr. James Hawkins, 231 V Street, is a respectable, hard-working, honest citizen, who has respect for law and order, who was witnessing a game of base ball from a telegraph pole at the American League Base Ball Park, as were two white men nearby. What harm was he doing? None to the pole, none to himself, and none to any one about him. He was singled out, called down from the pole, and badly beaten by an officer of the law.
An act of this kind makes trouble for both the better-thinking colored and whites of the District of Colum-
bia. No one can view these acts of injustice, whether he is black or white, without a feeling of the greatest indignation and concern.
It is hoped that the administration may do something to put to an end these acts of injustice and lawlessness by our officers of the law, who are supposed to stand for right and justice.

The school term ended at Collington with a pageant, given by our most worthy principal, Mrs. Mollie Mercer Thomas. Needless to say, we appreciated her efforts. Her work spoke for itself.

We trust her vacation may be pleasant, and that she will turn her steps to us again in the fall.

“Graduates of 1921: Your years of
work, bring you to this hour with high
hopes. Against discouragements, de-
feats, hunger and cold.even have you
folight, as well-as foes both within
and without your own hearts. In the
face’ of every obstacle “have you
pressed on until you stand here to-
day certified by the ‘different schools
of: the University from which -you
graduate, ‘as worthy in’ scholarship
and character to go out. répresenta-
tives, of your Alma Mater. . I con-
gratulate you on your» personal
achievements, I congratulate you for
winning the confidence and esteem of
your University. I’ congratulate you
that you are henceforth to be re-
corded among:American scholars.
* “A. significant expression is that
which speaks of your. graduation as a
commencement, You are’really stand-
ing by the open gates which’ invite
you into new meadow lands, or hill
country, or, "perchance, great and wild
mountainous regions. You are com-
mencing your careers as educated men
and women in the special fields of en-
deavor.as.chosen by you.
“For a little we hold you here,
congratulating you, cherishing your
friendships, rejoicing’ in your poten-
tialities, “and then we must see you
scatter’ out over these untried ways.
We want you to have ideals, His-
tory teaches us that these noblest
ideals center in: the life and charac-
ter of the Man of Nazareth. I have
quoted you His words as the key to
your pewer and_your success.
“As the great lines carry energy
from the power plant,to far distant
places, that mechanical, loads may be
lifted, streets and homes lighted, and
humdi life everywhere blessed, so you
are to be life and light bringers to
your village, town, “city, nation and
world, ‘witnessing to: tle supreme
values in cultured bodies, cultured
brains, cultured souls, Let the light
which shines from God through you
so shine before those with whom you
coine in contact, that they may reailze
your power and their own. weakness,
if unconnected’ with God and the
truest cultures of fife, and be led to
glorify their, lives in God and’ glorify
God's life in them, This is your mis.
sion, your task, your reach, graduates

loved’ ones long to see you accom:
plish, and for this Géd waits to érowi

| ‘New York.—Pierre Eugene de Les
|pinasse, a member of the Genera
Committee ‘of the Patriotic Union
has issued a statement in whict
he urges prompt. action for the ‘r¢-
generation “of his country jf its. ruin
[was not to be made complete by the
American occupation: si
| “For the first. time in 116 years,”
said M, Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse
|wtraiti, during the last five years o!
American occupation, has defaulted
on its interior debt. This debt. is held
by Haitian people, for the’ most part
who have suffered severe hardships
because of the stoppage of their in-
come, and those who’ gave credit to
the Haitian government by purchas-
ing its. obligations, are being ruined.
“If Americans wish to do something
for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten.
Human powers have their limits.
Haitians have endured for six years.
I do not know how. Jong they can
continue to endure.. Their country
has béen devastated by recent events.
They are living in a state of destroy-
ing insecurity. There is no work to
be done, Common people are miser-
able and underfed, and upward of
100,000 of’ them have migrated to
Cuba. g
“The first ‘remedy tequired is tinan-
cial. It was a crime against the eco-
nomic strength of the country to fix
the value of the -national currency,
the gourde, at twenty cents for 4
gourde, when in the last twenty-five
years the gourde had been worth a
dollar and were ‘seyeral.times at a
srethium over the dollar.
“The military devastation that has
aken place “in Haiti in the dast five
years can be repaired. It will be
nore difficult to make reparation for
the economic crimes which are kill-.
ng the country in putting it at a
lisadvantage with - other countries.
These are the crimes committed not
n the ojen, but in the silence of dip-
omatic and financial chambers.” él

affected if the city Commission Coun-
cil passes an-ordinatice’ proposed , by
Dr., John Callan, city health super-
intendent, fixing..a ‘legal milk bac-
teria standard, with penalties for ex-
ceeding the limit.
Dr. Callan assuined charge of the
city health department, and one. of
his first steps is to unearth and place
under inspection dairies formerly not
known’ tO exist.. There were about
‘10 registered dairiés when he was
given the position, and at| present
theré are abotit 240 listed, and his
fother' aim is to make New Orleais
a pure and. wholesome city in regard
to the handling of milk: t
Adulteration by watering having
been reduced, it is reposted the next
step is to bring about cleanliness in
production. The leading. complaints
were made by - colored ‘ American
women against’ the’ inferiority. of
milk sold by dealers in their sections
started this wonderful niovement,

THE MOST PROGRESSIVE’ ORGANIZATION. _-
The best and most progressive grganizations are those which
are based upon: real democracy ‘atid not’ shams. They are those
where ‘the will of the people predominate and_ not individuals.
Where cut and dried plans are not thrust down the throats of the
fmasses who are"made to swallow them against their wills:
For the success and growth of an organization, the masses must
be permitted to elect their own officers, even if they are not the
ones’ whom they desire: No one cares to have food thrust down his
throat, even. though it be desirable food. He likes to guard, control
and masticate that. which is essential to. his inner being. In like
manner lie’ likes to take a hand in, whatever concerns him. super-
ficially. ‘ as :
The best and most progressive organizations are thosé.wHere 4
broad-minded’ person is ‘the servant of the people. and who coiirts
the most liberal expression ‘of: views from those whom he serves.
Where these rightful expressions are neither. side-tracked: by the
presiding. officer nor railroaded through by him, Where. they are
not criticised because they are diametrically opposite to his views.
When he does’ this-he must. remember that his expressions are
being dissected, in ‘the same manner. He is taking the lead in dis-
organizing the organization which he is aiming to form and render-
ing a perfect union ari impossibility. i: %
In the light of this new efa, with its infinitely broad horizon, The
Bee thinks that it is time that we as talkers of right should aim
to do’ things inthe right wai; to lay down, the narrow selfishness
of the past and work and do’ things ‘upon a broader and more
liberal Basis for the common good and satisfaction of all. ss
PRESIDENT HARDING DEPLORES TULSA-RIOT .AFTER
RECEIVING N. A, A. C. P.. TELEGRAM..,
‘The National Association for the Advancement of Colored
Peoples 70: Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public a letter
received from George B, Christian, secretary to President Harding,
in which Mr. Christian: acknowledged receipt of a telegram the
Association had addressed to the President.
“Following the receipt of your telegram of Juve 2." “says, the
letter from President Harding’s secretary. “the President, as you
will have noticed, made'a public expression of. his. regret and horror
at the recent-Tulsa tragedy, which. reflected his sentiments.”
_ ‘The telegram to which the letter came as a reply read as follows:
“President.Warren G. Harding.
‘Washington. D: C. ’ : =
-' “The National Association: for the Advancement uf Colored
People feels that an utterance from-you at this time on the violence
and reign of terror at Tulsa, Okla, would “have ‘an inestimable
effect not only upon that situation, but upon the whole country.
(Signed). _.. “JAMES WELDON JOHNSON.”
TO CIVILIZED AMERICANS! — ms
_ The past week has -witnessed an, outbreak of stich violence by
one group of our citizenry against the other as. to severely shock and
profoundly to affect the conscience of all thinking and civilized
Americans. The Bee refers to the race riots of Tulsa once the proud
city of Oklahoma.
The evidence in hand poirits. to the speedy action of the wrong
citizens. in attempting to disarm the colored Americans who were
AFRICANUS TRIUMPHORUS.
‘The Colored Soldier.
He comes with his glory from wars
of death.
For the flag that, made him free,
He comes from,'the cannon’s thin.
derous breath.
That he faced all fearlessly;
He comes with the songs his poets
sing, a +s
With the pictures his painters drew,
With the music the tongues of his
pleaders ring,
And things that his hands. can do.
returning: to their quarters;.the delayed-action of the proper civil
authorities to ac promptly to:prevent loss of life; when they did
act they: joined the band of rioters and used every civil and military
aid to: crush out of existence a group of its most progressive and
law-abiding citizens, who were helpless to defend.themselves. It
is all the more censurable in the light of the fact that many of the
innécent victims were young men who during the recent World’s
‘War took no little share in carrying our flag and-our. cause to, vic-
tory. If these outbreaks ‘continue they will be fraught, with the
gravest peril to. our. American people and their institutions both
white and colored. f .
Lest We Forget.
“. We must not forget ‘that these colored Americans did not seek
the American shores; but for centuries they were exploited and. un-
paid for their labor. .They were set free from the bondage in which
they were held without one dollar to recompense them for their lives
of unending toil. “They bore no grudgé; a great and growing pros-
'perous section of our country; once ruined has arisen again by their
toil. We must'not pit power against weakness ;-we must not per-
mit.any, prejudice of cast or color, or class to injure any group of
citizens or make difficult their lot in life, or deny to them“one iota
‘of any privilege which under the'laws of our country and God, should
be theirs.” ‘This is the country which has lifted to the admiration
of the world its ideals of absolutely free opportunity where no man
is supposed to be under any limitation of his character or his mind;
where there is supposed to be no distinction of class; “No Distine-
tion of Blood,” but where men win or lose on-their merit.
Business Tulsa by honest labor had toiled in the heat and bur-
den of the day to.build up a progressive city of. progressive ‘busi-
ness places and*happy,,homes which were destroyed iti one day.
Along with the-destruction was: great‘loss of life’in the most: cruel
‘and brutal manner. which outrivaled: that of the Congo. For these
atrocities in a civilized country the Bee hopes that the offenders of
the law may be rounded. up by Secretary, Daugherty and severely
punished for their flagrant crimes.
The Bee is not a friend of. one class against another class but
.its duty is to try to make the classes understand one another. *%
“Their part-is to lift so high the incomparable standards of the
common. intérests andthe common justice. that all men of vision,
all men of hope, all men with convictions of America in their heart,
will crowd to the-standard, and the new day of achievement: may
come for the liberty which we love.” 2 % .

Miss Harris is not only an artist of merit—gifted in drawing and painting—but a sculptor of great promise, having been modeling in clay since her early childhood. She is talented in music, both piano and violin—a lady of high culture, as are all her sisters.
Dr. Luck is also a graduate of Howard University of the class of 1913, subsequently taking medicine at Howard.
Returning to his home in Danville, the home of his birth, he entered upon the practice of his profession. His success has been marvelous, building up a practice of $10,000 per annum.
He has just completed a beautiful home for his bride at a cost of $13,000, leaving her to furnish it at her own taste, which she is now engaged in doing, so as to complete it for a house warming on the 17th of this month for his home friends who are justly proud of him.
Mrs. Luck's many friends in this city will always find a hearty welcome at her home in Danville, to which they are cordially invited. She will now devote her time to her profession at her home, giving much attention to sculptor work, to which she is much devoted.

ALLEN AND WEST STAR IN TRI-STATE MEET.
Race athletes performing in the W. and J. Revival of the championship track and field meet held here, distinguished themselves in several events. Charlie West of W. and J., aside from taking first honors in the quarter-mile run, hung up a new record for W. and J., when he stepped the distance in 51 seconds flat on the field that was slow and heavy. West was hard pressed by Hiler of Carnegie Tech, and to win Charlie was forced to run in the record time. West also captured the javelin throw for W. and J., when he hurled the spear of 152 feet and 10 inches.
Gerald Allen, local track favorite, was placed third in the mile run and ran anchor for the Pitt team that captured the one-mile relay. This race in the final heat developed into a bitter and desperate struggle between Allen and West, who also ran anchor for W. and J. Allen had been handed a considerable advantage over West in the final quarter, due to the splendid running of his teammates. Allen received the baton and got away to a flying start before West was tipped off by his teammate. Allen was under way, traveling fast, and it looked hopeless for West. But once under way West began to overhaul Allen and close the the separating gap considerably. But the advantage was too much for West and due to the stiff and stubborn pace which Allen maintained, Pitt was returned the winner.

WILLS ANXIOUS TO MEET CHAMPION

Manager of Colored Fighter Will Keep on the Track of Dempsey if American Wins.
The clique keeping Harry Wills from meeting Jack Dempsey received an awful setback at Ebbets Field on Decoration Day, when thousands vigorously applauded the colored fighter when he crawled through the ropes to be introduced at a series of fights shortly before the introduction of Georges Carpentier. Aside from the known fact that Dempsey is unwilling to mix it with the colored gladiator, it is no secret that many of the parasites in the game for their personal reasons are encouraging the white champion in keeping away from Harry Wills, and it is this bunch that tried to crawl into a hole when the majority of the fans present at the big field showed by their warm ovation to the modest and unassuming colored fighter that the rank and file are desirous of seeing him in action against the man holding the doubtful title of champion.

```
Carpentier was also given a rousing welcome on the above occasion, and his pleasing and gentlemanly bearing again won him a host of admirers. In speaking to the newspapermen present Harry Wills" manager. said that it is his intention to keep after the "Blonde Bruiser" until he lights Wills or appears in his true light before the world. "Dempsey is joking when he says he'll box colored men after he disposes of Carpentier," he said. "Jack wouldn't allow himself to be dragged into the ring for a bout with my man, but we intend to keep after him until he shows the public just where he stands."

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.
Gourdin of Harvard, who won a place in the trials of the 100 yards, but lost in the finals, won the National broad jump with 23 feet 10% inches at the National Intercollegiate meet held Saturday in the Harvard Stadium over at Cambridge. Shelburne won the shot-put by one-eighth of an inch with a put of 45 feet 3% inches. Carter of Brown won this heat in the trials of the 100 in 10 secondus hat, but lost in the finals.

There are no means of escape from the cells of a guilty conscience.
To the Editor of The Bee: Thinking of the shameful race riot in Tulsa, Okla., there comes to my mind the story of that wicked Ahab, King of Samaria. (To get the correct story I invite your readers' attention to the first Kings, 21st chapter.) This wicked king desired the possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. In the second verse of the 21st chapter of the first Kings we read as follows:
"And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money."
But Naboth refused, saying: "The Lord forbid it me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto three," etc., etc. I am sighting your many readers' attention to this part of Bible history in order that they may see more clearly the scheme that those damnable murderers worked out in order to rob the poor colored people of their land, and fine homes in Tulsa, Okla. Ahab got the vineyard of Naboth, by the dirty scheme put up by his lying wife, Jezebel, but he paid the just price, which was death! So the infernal murderers, of Oklahoma robbed the colored citizens there. They burned their homes, and now the good (?) white citizens want to help rebuild the homes of the colored people; but, mind you, they want the colored people to have these new homes built in another part of the town! See: Ah, they, like Ahab, have robbed these poor people of their land (or they are planning to do it), but some day they will pay the price, which let us hope, 'twill be a horribly just one! And who cares how soon they'll be called upon for a settle ment.
The uncalled for butchering of the colored citizens in this republic is truly enough to rouse the ire of Almighty God. Doubtless many of those mothers and children who were called out of their homes and shot down in Tulsa, Okla., were the widows and orphans of the husbands and fathers who today are sleeping in their graves in far-away France, having sacrificed their lives to make this a safe country to live in. But, as we look at it, they died, but they died in vain! It ought to be death to any hellish mobs that dare to molest the homes of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who died in defence of the Stars and Stripes. These homes, above all, should be protected by the federal government. A little condemnation by the newspapers, and a meaningless tonguelashing by the governors of the states, and the President of these United States, will never break up the lynching and burning sport in this country.
No, what is needed is a strong, determined effort put forth by the proper officials of this country—a thing that has never been done—to blot out this lasting shame on this country. Lynching would have been wiped out long since in America, but it all depends on whose ox is gored.
A mighty cry of shame was heard in this country when the Germans paid Paris, France, an occasional visit, throwing, out death and destruction from their airplanes on the poor helpless mothers and children whose husbands and fathers were on the front with the colors to save their country. I say a mighty cry of "shame" went up from this country. But we wonder what the Germans thought and said when the Associated Press informed them of the Americans flying over Tulsa, Okla., killing innocent women and children from their planes, piloted by ruffians in Christian (?) American. Perhaps they said, "People who live in glass houses should never throw stones!" Or, perhaps they went a little further and said, "As mean as we are we have never stooped so low as to throw bombs from airplanes on our own loyal citizens! No, that brand of deviltry doesn't belong to any country save Christian American"
