Washington Bee

Order Unwarranted VOL. XLII NO. 4 Right Mu An order issued during Music Week by the Community Center Department which has been criticised as discriminating between the white and colored races was characterized as "unwarranted and regrettable" in a resolution adopted by the board. It was introduced by Dr. J. Hayden Johnson. It is a deplorable act to the people of this community to know that there is any one connected with the schools of Washington who would attempt to sow seeds of discord between the better thinking white and colored people of the District of Columbia, who have worked so harmoniously together in the past. This harmonious work is particularly noticeable in the portion of the group known as the teaching staff, a highly intelligent and cultured class of people. Together they form committees where they discuss many things for the betterment of the curriculum and welfare of the schools in general. Together have they threshed out many knotty problems connected with the general life of the schools. The Bee commends the Board of Education on the stand it took in the matter. The only way to promote peace and happiness among the people is those in authority to stand by the right. SEVENTEEN-BEE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MOUNT AIRY BAPTIST CHURCH. Fifteenth Anniversary of the Ministry of Rev. A. J. Tyler, Pastor of the Church, and a Brief Statement of Activities of the Church. June 12, 1921. 1. In a report submitted by the undersigned trustees on the occasion of the Fourteenth Anniversary of the Ministry of our beloved pastor, the Rev. A. J. Tyler, a detailed report of the historical activities preceding the submission of said report under date of June 6, 1920, was presented for the information of the pastor and congregation. For this reason, it is deemed unnecessary at this time to repeat what was said at that time, but some of the more important activities of the past year will be touched upon herein. 2. As you doubtless will recall, the Mount Airy Baptist Church was formally incorporated in this city during the ministry of the Rev. Allen B. Hamm, deceased, under date of March 22, 19Q1, and a board of Trustees, consisting of the pastor and four members of the church, were elected to serve for a period of one add, the church its foundation, in this connectur beloved pas- at length upon the success of the church, and particularly upon the able assistance rendered by Rev. Tyler in producing that success. We want to again state that our beloved pastor, Rev. Tyler, has continued unceasingly and untiringly his efforts to promote the welfare of the entire church, and to put it upon a firm and solid foundation. His advice to the Board of Trustees is always available and given willingly, and has proven of invaluable assistance to the board in the many intricate and difficult matters which it is called upon to decide. We would fail utterly in our duty were we not to mention this fact, and the Board of Trustees is The Washington Bee satisfied beyond a doubt that in Rev. Tyler the church has the best man in the right place. The deacons of the church, the church clerk, the superintendent of the Sunday School, the organist, the church treasurer; in fact, each and every individual connected with the church has at all times and upon all occasions faithfully and conscientiously endeavored to do his or her part, in the hope that in the end the church would profit. The trustees appreciate the spirit displayed by all concerned, and are hopeful of a continuation of such able assistance. 5. Since the submission of our last anniversary report, the church has acquired title to the property located at 1150 First Street Northwest, this city. No doubt you are all familiar with that fact, and have had an opportunity to observe the property in question. This property, was purchased by the church at a cost of $20,000.00, is ideally located, and can be remodeled into a church edifice, which would be a great source of pride and satisfaction to the entire congregation. However, it is not the present intention to incur unduly large expenditures at the present time in remodeling or improving this property, it being believed that the outstanding indebtedness against said property should first be liquidated. However, certain necessary improvements will be made for the present in order to accommodate the Sunday School activities and provide for the giving of lectures, entertainments, etc. The church has reduced the original cost of this property from $20,000.00 to a little less than $8,000.00, thus indicating that since the purchase of this property in August 000.00, the church has paid over $12,000.00 on the same. This is indeed a wonderful achievement, and deserving of the highest praise. It indicates conclusively the generous financial support given to the church by the entire congregation. The trustees are highly appreciative of this support, and know that it will be continued by the present loyal and devoted pastor and members of the church. In submitting its semi-annual financial report for the period ending June 30, 1921, a more detailed account of the financial status of the transaction involving the purchase of this property will be submitted for your consideration and information. COLORED COAL COMPANY FORMED. There has been organized by the colored citizens of Washington, D. C., a coal company known as the Universal Coal Company, Inc. The officers of the concern are: James H. Waugh, president; S. A. Young, vice president; John R. Williams, secretary, and Dr. T. C. Smith, treasurer. On last Saturday the company purchased a splendid piece of property at South Capitol and K. Streets, where will be located the yards of the company. An uptown office will be established at 1330 You Street Northwest. While the place recently purchased was formerly used for a coal yard the new purchasers intend to make some very distinct improvements before the Universal Coal Company begins to operate there. It is understood that the purchase price was in excess of $30,000. In order to complete the payment on the site and to begin operations as soon as possible the Universal Coal Company has launched a campaign for new members. Meetings are held WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 at the Y. M. C. A. assembly rooms at 8:30 on Friday evenings of each week. During these meetings an opportunity is given the public to become part owners of the corporation. Stock is sold at $1.00 per share in blocks of five. When seen by a reporter of this paper regarding the new corporation one of the officers issued the following statement: "We are constantly looking for new roads to financial independence and are always eager to lend an ear to anyone who thinks that he has discovered a short and safe route. Perhaps the shortest and safest road is that old road which so many overlook entirely or have abandoned, the road of thrift. "We are not in possession of any new fresh argument that will induce our people to become thrifty. But it does seem as if we should realize that by going into those industries which we are reasonably sure can and will be supported by our own people we can best help lift the race to a higher plane of financial independence. There is nothing fantastic about the coal business. It is one of the most lucrative of our common industries, and is one of the very simplest. Coal neither perishes nor goes out of style. There are 150,000 colored Americans in the District of Columbia who use coal, and we are offering them the privilege of joining their own coal company which is a cooperative concern and which will enable them to save some of the millions of dollars that they give the white coal dealers of Washington each year. "We have made definite arrangements with certain mines that will supply us with coal on terms that will allow a very good margin of profit and at the same time will afford good paying positions for our young men and women." FALLS CHURCH GLEANINGS. One of the most beautiful affairs ever held in Falls Church was the "Million Dollar Wedding," given last Tuesday night at the Methodist Church, under the direction and supervision of Mrs. Coppie Tinner. The church was beautifully decorated with daisies, ferns and "Dorothy Perkins" roses. The arch, which was hired from the Sunday School, was strung with small, different colored electric lights, loaned and arranged by Mr. Floyd Evans. The seven brides were Mesdames Mary Richards, Julia Craig and Cora Thomas of Falls Church, Mrs. Marshall of Maryland, Mesdames Moten and Tyler of Washington and Miss Callie of Alexandria. Each bride had four maids, a maid of honor and two flower girls and a groom and his best man. The bridal parties entered the church to the strains of Wagner's bridal chorus from Lohengrin. The ladies were beautifully attired, and each carried an exquisite bouquet. The little flower girls carried baskets filled with choice flowers. The grooms and best men were faultlessly attired in evening clothes, and the perfect arrangement could not have been improved upon had it been a real wedding. Mr. Watkins of Washington acted as the minister, and his advice to the bride and groom evoked much laughter from the audience. Mrs. E. B. Henderson presided at the organ. After the wedding refreshments were served in the basement of the church and congratulations were extended to the happy couples. Mrs. Bettie Brent has recently added a Ford touring car to her household effects. She bids fair to become a competent chauffeur. *** Rev. G. W. Powell preached in Warrenton, Va., last Sunday. *** Mrs. Rosa Martin of Philadelphia is visiting her sister-in-law, Mrs. Alberta Sutton. Mrs. Georgiana and Ellen Duson, who have been on the sick list, are improving. *** The Mothers' Council met with Mrs. Cora Strother Tuesday of last week. *** Mr. Jessie Deskins is recovering nicely from several severe cuts about the face, which he received when attempting to avoid a collision with an automobile while riding his bicycle. *** Mr. E, B. Henderson was the guest of Dr. M. A. Francis on a fishing trip at his summer home on the Chesapeake Bay the past week end. *** Rev. Colston preached for Company A at the Baptist Church last Sunday night. Quite a few of the friends came out to assist in the collection, which amounted to $10. *** Lawn parties are at present the order of the day. Last week several were held in the interest of the different rallies. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory and Miss Lillie Skinker were visitors to the town Sunday last. *** The local Glee Club sang at Herndon, Va., last Saturday night. Two truck loads from here went as an encouragement to the boys. IN MEMORIAM.. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter, Louisa Hawkins, who died one year ago today, June 18, 1920. Gone, but not forgotten. Mrs. Jennie Tinner is one of the most progressive of our citizens. She is ever in the field of service of the kind that makes for better citizenship and better humanity. As a member of the Fairfax County Fair Association, the Household of Ruth, the Fairfax Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and various church organizations. Mrs. Jennie is active and efficient. Whatever she starts in the interest of the people of the community is usually well done. Her husband, who is president of the Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. finds her assistance valuable in helping him to carry out his program. Very few are busier than she, but there is always time to do more for others. We hope that her influence will last long in our midst. ADDRESSES BAPTIST MINISTERS' UNION Mrs. Alma J. Scoot, the delegate elect to the W. C. T. U. convention, addressed the Baptist Ministers' Union Monday, June 20, in behalf of the District W. C. T. U. She is the regularly elected delegate to represent that body at the national convention to convene at San Francisco August 13 to 27. The District W. C. T. U. takes this opportunity to ask all fraternal organizations, churches and others interested in aiding the District W. C. T. U. to defray the traveling expenses of this very able and worthy woman to represent the District of Columbia at the great California convention, to send their contributions to Mrs. Scott's residence direct or give it to anyone who represents her in the effort to raise the money needed.

THIS KNOWLEDGE IS ESSENTIAL TO FREEDOM. American men in the several departments of the United States Army service continue to exist. A recent instance of gross discrimination has come to the attention of the Associated Press, Mr. Robert L. Ephriam, a student at the University of Chicago, is the last victim of race prejudice in this direction. A representative of the N. A. P. interviewed the young man and he made the following statement of the part he played in an effort to take advantage of the training at the Reserve Officers' Training Camp: "I entered Howard University the autumn quarter of 1948 and connected myself with Unit 311, Reserve Officers' Training Camp. Seven men were sent up, from Howard to the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Camp Devens, Mass. Upon my return to Howard I was commissioned and appointed battalion adjutant of 311th Unit. Upon finishing the junior college there, I entered the senior college of art and sciences at the University of Chicago with the intention of connecting myself with the military science department there. I took the matter up with Col. Marr, the commanding officer, who informed me that it was against the policy of the War Department to admit colored in the artillery, that if it were the infantry or cavalry there would be no discrimination. I found nothing in the catalogue making color a prerequisite for any department, so took the matter up with the dean of men, who claimed that they were powerless to act, in the case. It was then that I appealed to President Harry P. Judson, who after hearing the facts, asked that I call at an industrial school which was held at Berean Chapel, South College Avenue, on June 9th."

Nathaniel Dett, recently gave a recital in the Robert Cutris Ogden auditorium. Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, well known colored soprano of Detroit, was the assisting artist. The affair was one of great success and long remembrance. * * * The Junior High School Orchestra made its last appearance in drama music before the public for this year's school term at the presentation of the drama "Three Pills in a Bottle." The orchestra has shown a marked degree of progress and holds great success for its talented members in the future. The music for class night exercises which were held at the Junior High School was rendered by the school orchestra, Junior High School orchestra last week. These students deserve great credit for the talent they have shown during the year and should be encouraged to continue the good work. Mr. Joseph Douglass, the famous violinist, rendered to the audiences at the unveiling of the picture of "The Shaw Memorial" several selections which were highly appreciated. This affair took place in the Junior High School. Now that school has closed for the year the music work of the Glee Club of Howard University under the direction of Prof. Roy Tibbs, should be given the highest praise from every teacher, student and member of this race for the wonderful work they did during the school term. This year's school term they made a fine record for the university, which is hoped that those who will join next year will add greater credit to the fine record made. The boys of Dunbar and Armstrong High Schools who have put their talent to use deserve great credit in forming a school band that can render music for all occasions for the schools. The music rendered for the drill proved that they have made great progress and next year they will make a record to be remembered. Mr. Charles Gilpin, star of "Emperor Jones," the drama which created a sensation in town and as a result over the entire country, reported to a newspaper reporter that he had refused an offer of $2,000 per week to appear in a new, drama of colored American art because it was detriment to the race as a whole. This fact was found to be true when the same reporter, went to the managers to get a statement concerning the seating arrangements. She stated that Mr. Gilpin had placed his whole heart and soul in the uplift of his race. Miss Lulu Childers of this city, will spend her summer in Chicago studying vocal music under Prof. Oscar Saenger. The Men's Club of Zion Baptist Church, Mr. E. E. C. Cunningham, president, are ever mindful of the aged and infirm and poor of our city. Sunday at 1 o'clock, they left the church with trucks and automobiles and made a short spin to Blue Plains. They carried their song-books, and the organist, Prof. Daniels, went along to make the occasion merrier. They held a song and praise service of half an hour in each of the sections where our people are housed. About 110 old ladies and nearly 100 old men are quartered therein. The singing, led by Mr. Ellis, was thoroughly enjoyed. The dear old folks seemed to go back to childhood and better days. The club, which is largely made up of the officials of Zion Church, carried tobacco, sugar, fruit, candy and cake in abundance for every inmate. Brothers Cheatham, Quivers, C. E. President; Trustee Brooks and othem were very active serving and helping to make this a banner day for the old folks and themselves. There was a novel feature of the day. Rev. Jacobs of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, who holds divine service for the inmates, baptized two old ladies from the home in the Potomac River while the club was making their visit. One of them had to be carried from bed to automobile, and then carried into the water. It was a touching and beautiful scene. Mrs. Julia Mason Layton of Phelps Community Service is an honorary member of the Men's Club, and she accompanied them down to the Old Folks' Home. Mrs. Ellis of Randall Center and Mrs. Layton are planning to form a club in each of these two centers just to do this kind of work at least once a quarter and make these poor old afflicted and needy people happy. They left Blue Plains at 5 o'clock, feeling that in the Master's name they had given some of His "a cup of cold water." Sunday night this beautiful edifice was comfortably filled with members and friends to help "The Minute Club" in an urgent rally, under the able leadership of Dr. Tanner. This commodius edifice, dedicated to God, has been paid for, renovated and most beautifully decorated. Memorial windows in honor of Bishop Handy, Prof. J. T. Layton and Mrs. F. Coffin Robinson, have been installed. The parsonage is free of debt, and also has been renovated, and Sunday night this excellent pastor, his members and friends truly enjoyed being in a church when they did not owe a penny to any one. The choir was out in full and did themselves credit. The following churches were represented by some of their best women on the program: John Wesley, A. M. E. Zion, Plymouth, Congregational, Vermont Avenue, Baptist, Galbraith, A. M. E. Z. and Berean and Nineteenth Street Baptist. Short but spicy talks were made on different phases of the women's work by Mrs. Catharine C. Cole, Mrs. Mary Sewall, Mrs. Lickley, Mrs. M. Madre Marshall, Mrs. F. S. Tanner, Mrs. K. West Waugh and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton. Music, Miss Elsie Robinson, Misses Williams and Smothers. Miss Corinne Martin was the very pleasing mistress of ceremonies, Miss F. Brooks, organist, and Mrs. Marie Jumper, choir directress. The collection from pews was $137.21. This ware a rare and commendable effort. TUSKEEGE TEACHER WINS A SCHOLARSHIP IN DEN- MARK UNIVERSITY. NEW YORK, June 17.—C. A. Frazier has been awarded a scholarship at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, winning the competitive prize offered each year by the American. Scandinavian Foundation. Frazier, who is twenty-seven years old, was born in Baltimore. After completing the course in the Baltimore High School he graduated from Howard, later teaching at Tuskegee. Receiving a scholarship in sociology at Clark University at Worcester, Mass., he studied there, graduating with an M. A. degree in 1920. His thesis in "New Currents of Thought Among Colored People of America" won for him a fellowship of $850 to the New York School of Social Work, 1920-21. OCCOOUAN, VA The different organizations of the Ebenezer Baptist Church have united in order to make the Fourth of July entertainment the best yet, given in this place. The entertainment will be given in the Bailey-Snyder grove which is a charming place for all lovers of out-door life. Plenty of shade and water and refreshments of all kinds. The committee is prepared to handle a large crowd. The Misses White are spending their vacation here with their father. Mr. Augustus White and sisters. Miss Selupa Harris is at home from Chayney, Pa., for a short stay. Mrs. Ella H. Bailey has finished a very successful school term near Leesburg, and is at home for her vacation. Twelve men have been accepted as jurors and it is expected to complete the selection of a special grand jury to investigate the race riot that took place in Tulsa. S. P. Freeling, State attorney general, is in charge of the inquiry to begin calling witnesses for this affair. The attorney general has stated that 150 to 200 witnesses would be summoned. The inquiry will last a week or more until he obtains the exact facts. The attorney general's court of inquiry deafing particularly with the conduct of local officials was in session but the evidence brought out has been kept a secret. They have called five colored American poilcemen first. An indication of the turn the grand jury investigation possibly will take developed in the examination of prospective jurymen. The veniremen were asked if they would return accusations against officials if evidence was produced to show that they had been negligent in taking steps to prevent the riot, and they were also asked and questioned to whether race prejudice would affect their decision. FRENCH OFFICIAL PRAISES COLORED AMERICAN SOLDIERS. An official of the French Government now in the United States has sent to Dr. Emmett, Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of the War, the following statement which he has just received from Paris: "Before the colored Senegalese troops left the Rhine district for Asia Minor on May 29, 1920, one year ago, General Degoutte, one of the most famous French leaders of the great war, commander in chief of the French troops in the Rhine provinces, issued the following message: "The Senegalese Brigade leaves the French army of the Rhine, called forth to an important mission on a point of exterior operation. I regret to see the departure of these elite soldiers; I was often able to appreciate their bravery, at first in our colonies, later during the war. Always and everywhere the Senegalese have shown themselves worthy of their glorious fame in the conquest and pacification of the African middle zone." ROLAND NOT A NATIVE OF TULSA. (Special to The Bee.) Roland about whom the crime of the riot at Tulsa centered, is not a native of Tulsa, but came to this city from Arkansas. He has stayed with his grandfather, who runs a rooming house, and although he has not borne a bad reputation himself, it is known that he has associated with a "rough gang." For some time it is reported he has neither worked nor gone to school. No one knows what his purpose was in the Drexel building at the time of the alleged assault. He entered the elevator, according to his story told at the trial, the car made a swift motion upward when the power was turned on and he lost his balance, one of his feet striking the girl, or rather the woman, Mrs. Saralf Paige. She slapped the seventeen-year-old boy and he resented it. The altercation attracted a crowd and the boy fled. Later he was caught in the white residential district and arrested by Patrolman Pack, a Race police officer. The arrest was made on a charge of petit larceny. It is claimed, that the white woman identified the boy after his arrest as the one who had been insolent to her the day before in the elevator. Naturally, the larceny charge was hushed up and a big feature made of "Negro nabbed for assaulting white woman," as the story was published in a Tulsa afternoon paper. From then on yellow journalism did its dirty work. Why was it able to function so effectively? Conditions in Oklahoma have been comparable to those in Georgia, Men have accumulated property. All through the State there are wealthy families. But such wealth indicates nothing in the matter of bad social and economical conditions. Such success as men have had in the State has been almost inevitable. To say the least, it has been natural. Oklahoma is one of the great oil-producing States. Men of the Race of enterprise and industry have gone there to build up their fortunes. They have been a pioneering, virile class. Hardships have meant little to them and they have prospered with the finding of an oil field occasionally and the ever present opportunity to buy cheap land. The independent farmers were the first to become successful. Too many of the men who have gone there have intermarried with the rndians. These Indians have large holdings and this wealth has passed into the hands of members of the Race as time has gone on. Oklahomaans have had exceptional opportunities to acquire wealth which the white could not deprive them of, and these pioneers have had the industry to make the most of the chances they have found. Nevertheless, peonage has flourished. The mob has enjoyed as much play in this State as in darkest Texas or in the jungles of Georgia. Men have been impressed for debt by wealthy white farmers and the sparsify of population in the State has made discovery almost impossible. Now and then a fugitive has escaped and given his story to the world. But it takes a Williams case to arouse people. The scattered tales from Oklahoma have not struck the public heart. They have been shadowed by Sarah Rector's wealth. They have been hidden behind a film of kerosene emulsion. Three days before the riot three men were chased from Okmulgee and came to Chicago. Peons have fled to New York, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has told about them. In August of last year a white man was lynched in Tulsa. The prosperity of business men of the Race in Tulsa had been a cause of envy and the low-class whites during the winter had done everything in their power to keep laborers of the Race unemployed and drive them from the town. Letters had been sent to prominent men of the Race demanding that they stop extending the bounds of the district within which they were segregated. A rumor has been extant for some time to the effect that it was the desire of white industry or of private citizens to appropriate the lands which the Race had gained possession of. Since the area had become a segregated district to them, the value had increased and white speculators saw a chance for immense profits if they could only drive the inhabitants out. One large foundry had been put up in the district. At the time of the riot there was only one large white property holder in the district. The voluntary segregation of the people in the city made the riot easy. Oklahoma had a segregation law, but it was unnecessary. The people originally got together, bought the land they owned when it was cheap, and stayed there. When the fight came, the whites knew where they were. Nothing was handier. The innocent could suffer alone. The plunderers saliled forth into the segregated region, spread destruction, and made their way back to their homes in peace. They had nothing to fear. What were the people to do? A white man had been lynched in the city in August. Did they have reason to believe that the life of a black man would be spared? A crowd of white ruffians gathered at the courthouse. Their, counterparts in our Race gathered and there were whispered conversations. The air was ominous. The small groups grew. Answering the threat of the white men at the courthouse, forty of our men went down to see what was wrong. On the way they were met and joined by more or less irresponsible elements. At the courthouse the leaders got no satisfaction. Barney Cleaver, a police officer of the Race, urged the men to go back. There is an argument. One of our men is killed. The fight is Begun. There were three distinct battles in the race war besides the skirmishing. While the men argued at the courthouse, men and boys in the outlying regions engaged in isolated cutting and shooting scrapes. The office of one of the Race newspapers in the town was made a gathering place for our men. Measures for defense were taken up. News had got to them of the advance of the whites from the center of the town. The mob rushed into the district shooting wildly in the main streets of the section. A temporary stand was made by our men, but on the advice of the saner, they retreated, went to their homes and were quiet. The whites did not stop. Their first move was to summon the Home Guards. These guards planted machine guns on the hills overlooking the segregated district. At 4:30 in the morning a steam whistle sounded three times. This was the signal for the whites to begin the invasion of the Race district. They attacked the business places first. With the coming of daylight, airplanes from the local aviation field, in which the Cadillac company is interested, directed the movement of the oncoming army. At 6:15 a.m. men in the planes began dropping fire bombs of turpentine and other inflammable material on the property. Women and children running from their burning homes into the streets were struck dead by the incessant machine gun fire from the hills, or burned to death by the liquid fire poured down from the airplanes. A great concourse of people fled to the church to seek protection in prayer. The men carried their weapons with them. The whites stormed the church, the defenders putting up a game fight until the airplanes bombed the structure and all within were driven out to the mercy of the mob. On the railroad tracks were the mob of 5,000 yelling men and screaming women who fought a battle of hate and blood. White women caught fleeing women of the Race and beat them with their shoes. Their clothes were torn from them. With frantic gestures on the part of their assailants they were driven through the streets. The battle on the tracks was the last stand made. Men fought with utter abandon against the human devils above and around them. As the scorching white fire from airships above was poured upon them, the defenders of their homes made a valiant effort to stave off the blood-thirsty passion of the hound who killed them. Men slipped and fell in the blood of their brothers. White men died cursing "niggers." Railroad property on the tracks was utterly demolished. One man, leaning far out from an airplane, was brought down by the bullet of a sharpshooter and his body burst upon the ground. Men were hideous. Women were evil. Judgment was in the air and the multitude perished. While this battle was being fought the Boy Scouts were tearing through the town helping to set fire to homes which had been overlooked. Gas would be turned on and lit and furniture piled upon it. No effort was made by the authorities to arrest the incendiaries. Their hellish work went on. It was systematic, and it was complete. The men who had hidden in their homes were driven out and killed. The women and children were left to starve or perish. Troops were not necessary to stop the riot. It stopped itself. When the homes of the people had been burned, when liquid fire from airplanes had struck terror into a defenseless people, the force of the eruption was spent. They could fight no more. Then the looting began. The white thieves went unmolested into the smoldering ruins and seized everything of value. The people of the Race were picked up in automobiles, disarmed and carried to the large halls, baseball park and white churches. The massacre and destruction at Tulsa is probably the greatest in the history of America. Varying reports have been published in the newspapers concerning the number of deaths. The first stories told of scores being killed. Later dispatches had the number down to thirty. The first reports were doubtless correct. O. T. Johnson, head of the Salvation Army in this city, declares that the reports are too low. His lowest estimate is 150. That would include only members of our Race. Soldiers guarding prisoners in the ball park told them that three times as many whites were being killed as of our men. Mr. Johnson states that on Wednesday forty-seven men were pressed into service as grave diggers; that these men worked all day Wednesday and. Thursday, digging over 100 graves in each of which a man was buried. Friday and Saturday twenty of the men were retained to continue the work. The bodies were not put into coffins, but thrown, charred as they were, into the graves. A rumor was spread that two truckloads of men were thrown into the Arkansas river. The closest guess to the number of dead is doubtless 300. The property loss is reported to be near $2,000,000. The burned area runs east about seven blocks, north about seven blocks, and then west to Cincinnati. This comprised the business and residential districts. Greenwood avenue, the business district, was entirely wiped out. Four blocks on Archer, Street were destroyed. The First Baptist Church, on North Elgin Street, was burned to the ground. It was valued at $80,000. The entirely new Second Baptist Church was likewise destroyed. The Hotel Stradford, with 68 rooms, entirely modern and recently built, was left in ashes. The hotel belonged to Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Stradford and was valued at $75,000. Other property to the extent of $25,000, belonging to Mr. Stradford, was also demolished. The Tulsa Star, owned by A. J. Smitherman, and the Oklahoma Sun, owned by J. A. Bauchman, have gone down in the ruins. Williams' confectionery store and Elliot & Hooper's $100,000 department store went with the rest. The Red Wing hotel with 52 rooms and run by J. T. Presley suffered the same fate as the others. Prominent among those killed was Dr. A. C. Jackson. The mob of Boy Scouts and guardsmen surged about his house, and fired through the windows. Then they began throwing firebrands at it and sought to enter it from the rear. Dr. Jackson came on the porch and held his hands up, hoping thereby to have the mob go away without molesting his wife. He was shot in the stomach and breast and the soldiers ran. At the hospital where he was carried a white physician recognized him, but it was too late to do any good. The number of persons wounded in the fights is beyond a reasonable guess. There were probably not less than a thousand. Many who received slight wounds fled to owner towns. Still others concealed their wounds for fear the authorities would arrest them as agitators. One of the most important after effects of the riot was the issuance of an order by Tulsa real estate men to the effect that the people whose homes had been burned must sell their lands to the whites to be used for industrial purposes. It was further stipulated that any other houses put up for them be in a further segregated district about, four miles from the town. This action of the Tulsa Real Estate Exchange after the riot has caused many to think that there must have been some connection between some of its members and the systematic burning of the property of Race citizens. Widespread criticism of the police force and the soldiers was brought out after the riot. These men were the most flagrant in the violation of the law. Not only did they permit the mob to have free sway, but they joined it and used the authority of their office to scatter death and fear among the defenders. Guns were taken from these men and given to the whites to slay them with. Women of the Kace were kicked and thrown into the streets by them when they sought to save some of their belongings. Mid City and Dudley. Mid City, the only colored movie house on Seventh Street for the colored and owned by a race man, is showing a set of the best pictures and a nine and laughable vaudeville. The Dudley on You Street speaks for itself by the crowd that awaits its opening as early as 6 o'clock, has one of the best vaudeville brought to this town. The Foraker has opened its out-of- door picture garden and you will more than enjoy the pleasure of going over there to see the pictures and vaudeville. Plenty of room for every one.

The more a man knows, the more he can enjoy life. *** Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience and beauty.—Ruskin. *** Don't care is as good a medicine for some physical ailments as anything else.

For some time I've been thinking of the great pageant which was held here in the early fall of 1915. This pageant, as you all must know, was gotten up by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, aided by a host of talented ladies and gentlemen in all of the churches here. Many things were shown which told of the marvelous success the race has made in the last half century. But since then we've had our ups and downs; we've had uncalled for trials and tribulations, all of which will be added to the next pageant, should it be repeated by Dr. Du Bois and the many gifted ladies and 'gentlemen here in Washington. That pageant was a great success. And, thinking over the matter, I wrote to Dr. Du Bois asking him if he would be willing to repeat it. In reply the good Dr. Du Bois sent me the following letter: New York, June 16, 1921 "My Dear Sir: I thank you for your suggestion of another pageant in Washington. I have thought of the matter, but it is so costly an undertaking that I hesitate to make the move myself. If, however, any large number of people in Washington were disposed to make the initial move and invite my cooperation I should be glad to consider the matter. Very sincerely yours, W. E. B. Du Bois." Now, I really think the pageant should be repeated. Although the affairs of this great republic has been placed in the hands of a new administration since that great pagen in 1915; an administration the colored men and women helped to place in power, I regret to say we will have to sing again that heart rendering little song: "Nobody knows what a trouble I see, "Nobody knows but Jesus," etc. Then, too, if the pageant be repeated twill afford a splendid chance to even more than double the membership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. What say the Hon. Achabal Grimke, Mrs. J. Shelby Davidson, Mrs. Julia Layton, Miss Sarah Janifer, Drs. E. D. W. Jones, W. D. Battle, Lawyers Augustus W. Gray, G. C. Scurlock, W. L. Houston, and others? Friends, it behooves us to get together and keep on battling for our rights. Call a meeting and invited Dr. Du Bois and let's have the pageant! BOXING BETWEEN COLORED AMERICAN AND WHITE SOLDIERS: Under the leadership and direction of Capt. Lawrence Meehan, who has had great success in promoting boxing, the work has been taken up again between the colored and white soldiers as it was before the World war.

The Bee suggests to its readers that it is wiser for a colored American to use his energies in the support of his own institution than in an effort to exercise them to boycott those of the other race because of alleged discrimination. In supporting his own institutions, he works constructively, harmoniously, renders mutual help, strengthens the bulwarks of the race financially, affords present and future employment for our boys and girls, who have a meager opportunity for obtaining work in the commercial world. Few avenues are open to them while many are closed. But when he attempts to boycott, he starts on a pilgrimage to reach the end of the rainbow. With this end in view he knocks away at one real or fancied wrong and thinks that all other wrongs will be righted by this attack on the one.

Turn from your idle pursuit of attempting to stop, as it were, the flow of the mighty waters of Niagara! Use your energies aright! Uphold the hands of the ones who served you when the doors of pleasure and opportunity were hermetically closed against you. Pull together! Support a principle! Stand together! Union is strength.

When he establishes himself in "Dark town" it is done for the purpose of dodging the acid test of right for the race through the fear of might. The Bee warns you again not to start on the interminable journey of boycotting even such an one, but reminds you of the wisdom of being ever mindful of supporting your own institutions too. The Bee has no desire of falling into the narrow path of discrimination or boycotting. There are large firms operated by men of the other race in white localities who contribute largely to the charitable institutions of the colored race. These firms give employment to many of our colored men and boys. Of this The Bee is mindful and appreciative. DOING MUCH HIMSELF.

Another manner in which constructive racial progress is disturbed is by organized riots, such as the one of Tulsa and other places. The Bee warns the race not to be discouraged when these things are done. It controls its own fate. To support the principal of right and not might, education, culture, the acquisition of property, including our own business places, will cause the walls of prejudice to fall as completely as those of Jericho. Remember the race has the sympathy and plaudits of the truly civilized world. TO OUR VISITORS. Visitor cominig into our city, the colored people.

After the sermon six children were led to the altar and baptized by this very able divine. The choir of Union Wesley Church rendered a very beautiful anthem, as well as other selections, under the direction of Miss Virginia L. Williams, the organist. Children's Day at Union Wesley was celebrated Sunday night, June 19th. The Baptist superintendent and teachers deserve great credit for the splendid and spiritually arranged program. The children recited and sang beautifully. The Endeavor Choir, under Miss V. L. Williams and Mr. Jackson, interspersed sweet music between the recitations. Union Wesley seems to have such a strong hold on the young people of the church. How great! Many boys and girls participated in the music and literary exercises of the Sabbath School of Union Wesley Church, Children's Day. The pastor, Dr. Jones, seems to have a very tenacious hold on the young people of his church. You are to be congratulated, doctor. Mr. Brooks; who directed the Sabbath School singing, and Mrs. Garden, the mistress of ceremonies, are among the strong aids to the splendid superintendent, Mr. W. Honesty, of Union Wesley Sunday School. Mesdames Holmes and Jones are also good workers. GARFIELD, D. C., NEWS. The Children's Day exercises were a great success, and enjoyed by all. The church was well filled, and the programme well arranged for the occasion. Mrs. Ada Coleman, a member of the Allen A. M. E. Church, visited her daughter in Dover, Del., and went to Chester, Pa., to visit her son. It is hoped she will spend a pleasant trip. Last Sunday morning the members of the Allen A. M. E. Church were favored with a very able sermon by Rev. L. W. Hillery. The following are the 1921 class which graduated from the James A. Garfield School: Miss Palmer B. Jones, Master Thomas H.

But each time his "nix" was weaker. The clink of the poker chips and the whir of the riffled cards grew more and more like music. The quick laughs and tense silences warmed his blood; he could almost hear the electric snap of brains in conflict. He felt a hundred charms of the game that had never appealed to him before. He read the colored magazine with one eye and kept the other on the poker table. "Good," said Tom Grimes, as the door opened and Jake Thompson came in. "We need you, Jake. Sit in!" "Sure thing," said Jake. "Say, John, what's the idea?" "Promised the missus to quit," mumbled John. "Oh, I've promised mine a thousand times. Besides how'll your wife know?" "Why," said Tom Grimes, "she knows just how much he's got and if he goes home short—good night!" "No, no," protested John. "She don't know everything. Right now she thinks I'm watching the ball game at the Polo Grounds."

Can't keep a good sport down." In two minutes John was deep in poker. At first he lost; then he began to win steadily. With a thrill he saw his pile of chips grow as Jake Thompson's dwindled. "Brokel" said Jake finally. "Throw in your cuff links, or——" "Wowl" said Jake. "Can't do that, They are the missus's birthday present!" "Ain't you got nothing at all?" asked John. "How about a pair of women's white shoes?" queried Jake. "Awl the deucel!" growled John. "That's all I've heard from my missus today—white shoes, white shoes, white shoes. She was all fretted up trying to clean hers for the dance tonight, and even when she put 'em out to dry, she wasn't satisfied with 'em. I told her to let 'em go, and wear blacks or tans. Well, when she got through with me, I beat it for the club. Women and white shoes—" "Wait, John," said Tom Grimes. "Then we be worth something." "And Jake'll ketch something if he goes home without 'em." "But wait'll I tell you," said Jake: "The missus don't know I've got 'em. I was at Joe White's just before I came here and a suspicious looking guy came to the door and showed us these white shoes. Joe's wife didn't want 'em. But they were newish looking and about my wife's size, so I gave him a dollar for 'em. My wife's already got a pair, anyhow." Jake unrolled the bundle and the other men appraised the shoes; all except John Forman. "Put 'em upl" said Tom Grimes, "worth a dollar, anyhow." So Jake re-entered the game. In ten minutes John Forman wiped him out with four sevens. "Here I go," said Jake getting up. "Got to beat it home now, and you certainly can't accuse me of quitting ahead." "Let's all quit and go home," put in Tom Grimes. "John's the big winner." "Those shoes'll be a nice surprise for the missus, John," Jake said half-heartedly. "Yes, if she don't find out how I got 'em," laughed John. When John got home he carefully unlocked the door and stole into the bedroom. He unwrapped the shoes and stood them under the chiffonier. Then he walked loudly into the dining room. By Aubrey Bowser, Author of "Adult Lies," and Other Stories. "Say, Minnie!" he called. "Minnie nothing!" came a sob from the kitchen. "You stay out gambling all the——" "Gambling?" said John, surprisedly. "Yes, I just bet you were. The ball game was over long ago, and I——" "But good Lord, you're not crying just because I'm late for dinner!" said John, going into the kitchen. "That's a fine way for a woman that's going "Nixl" said John Forman, none too firmly. For two hours John had read magazines in the window seat of the club, keeping his promise to his wife to The decision of the Court of Appeals of St. Louis, growing out of the East St. Louis riots, was an important one. A damage suit was brought by Mrs. Carrie Redmond and others against the East St. Louis and Suburban Railway Company. They were passengers on the company's cars and were carried into the city during the riot. The case was a test case and will affect all the other cases against the company. A judgment for $2,000 was won by Attorney Homer G. Phillips. It was shown that the defendants did not exercise care and precaution by causing the plaintiff to be exposed to the violence of the mob in that said plaintiff was carried into the heart of the city where the mob was congregating. Springtime-Summertime Representative Tinkham is determined that there shall be a reduction in the representation of the Southern states in the House of Representatives and Electoral College. This was made known in an announcement; accompanied by a resolution for an investigation of the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment in the South. "The Velvet Kind" REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. Defeated during the last session and thus far this session in his attempts to force an issue on southern representation, Mr. Tinkham said, his new resolution is drawn in conformity with the opinion of the House census committee that specific instances of disfranchisement must be cited before a congressional investigation can be undertaken.

THERE IS NONE "JUST AS GOOD" Chapin-Sacks Corporation Franklin 4800 I was surprised when I visited the tonsorial parlor of my good friend Hall to learn that F. P. had talked himself out of a job. I thought at first that perhaps he was like a camel, living off of the fat of his back, but on second thought I think it is more than likely that he has collected enough money from different sources to last him the balance of his days. He is well known for his habit of having work done and paying for the same with line of gab or some other stall. Remember, Frank; this stall business will not last forever. *** It is hoped that the many friends of Prof. J.

It looks from the standing of the contestants in last Sunday's Post that his friends have forgotten him. Let's unite in this contest and give him a respectable standing. This can be done. As director of the Amphion Glee Club he has rendered valuable service to this community, and now is the time for us to show our appreciation of his untiring efforts. ```markdown ``` I made a visit to the Y. W. C. A. building on last Sunday afternoon, and was greatly impressed with the magnificent structure. The interior of the building is spotless, and shows that great care is being taken to keep it so. It would be well for the management of the Y. M. C. A. to take pattern after this building. There is no comparison between them. Everything is quiet and orderly.

A PAIR OF WHITE SHOES. Sometimes They Move in Mysterious Ways—The Pair in This Story Almost Separated John from his Wife. "Have a heart, John! Sit in!" called Tom Grimes for the twentieth time.

I put them on the window sill to dry. After you left I went to the window to look at them and they were gone." "By gosh! I told you it was risky to put out shoes in a ground-floor flat." "And I worked so h-hard on them!" "Never mind, dearie, you'll go to the dance all right." "I w-won't go without my white sh-shoes." "All right, girlie. Just look in under the chiffonier." With a puzzled look at him, Minnie went into the bedroom. John chuckled as he heard he exclaim. Then he shut his eye and awaited her kisa. A scream of rage came from the bedroom. Minnie whirled out on her dumb-struck husband like a thunder storm. "John Forman! You brute! You could make me suffer like this!" "Minniel What on earth's——" "You know what's the matter! You took my white shoes and hid them under the chiffonier just to worry me and then ran away," she said soblingly. "I didn't do anything of the kind! Your shoes! Did you say your shoes!" John repeated. "Don't I know my own shoes after cleaning them this morning? You are a beast!" Minnie screamed in rage. John Forman then realized that he had won his own wife's shoes from Jake, and explained things as best he could to his wife. "Hand over all you won," smiled Minnie through her tears. John did so. and renewed his vow to quit the game. (Released 1921, by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service. All rights reserved) $20,000 BUILDING FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Ground has been broken for the new Home Economics Building to be erected by the Howard University. Each member of the board of trustees turned a spadeful of dirt. A simple program of exercises was followed and the University R. O. T. C. Band played the Howard Alma Mater and several other selections. Dr. Stanley Durkee, president of the university presided, and Dr. Emmett Scott, secretary-treasurer, reported the Congressional action providing $20,000 for the erection of the building. Dr. Scott stated that the preliminary plans for the new dining hall and Home Economics Building have been submitted to the Department of the Interior and have been approved. The final plans are to be submitted shortly and it is expected that bids will have been accepted and the construction of the building begun not later than the 15th of July. It is hoped that it will be ready for dedication and occupancy during the early part of the school term. The building will be modern in all of its improvements. The authorities of the University have asked permission of the Interior Department that the plans for the new building might be prepared by its own architects. Consent being given, the plans were prepared by William A. Hazel and Albert I. Cassell, both architects and instructors of the school. All orders promptly attended to. Prices reasonable.

New York, June 19.—President Harding has reached an agreement with State and local Republican leaders on the appointment of Charles W. Anderson, the Negro, to the post of collector of internal revenue. A new internal revenue district is to be created, covering substantially the area of the old Third district, of which Ferdinand Eidmann was collector for many years prior to 1913. Local Republican leaders say President Harding in choosing Anderson is acceding to the request of Negro Republicans all over the country that he name some one of their race to an office of the first rank. The appointment of Anderson, as proposed, is supposed to be the President's answer to this suggestion. Anderson for years has been a member of the Republican State committee and during the Taft administration was internal revenue collector of the lower Manhattan district, the wealthiest in the entire country.
