Barrett, who came this morning with additional troops. No accurate check of the dead had been made late tonight and unofficial estimates ran from the known list of ten whites and seventy negroes dead, o an opinion of Police Inspector Charles Daley, second in command of the police force, that the list would reach 175. Many Die in Flames The exact total, officials said. would probably never be known, as : number of negroes perished in the .'himes, which consumed the entire negro district, which formerly hous ed about 1 .1.000 negroes.

Adjutant General Barrett :i id tonight. "We don't anticipate further rioting, although nothing has been overlooked as a precaution igainst its recurrence. With Tulsa under martial law we expect to see readjustment of conditions." About 5,000 negroes were herded tonight in the fair grounds east of the city, under protection of national guardsmen. They were gathered there from all points in the city, where they sought refuge. Negroes Drifting Back Hundreds i homeless negroes '.vhu fled to the country were drift- rig back toniuiit.

Hundreds of automobiles bearing armed white men raced about the business dis t rift. The heaviest fighting occurred be- ween midnight and ( a. m., when several pitched battles with hundreds n each side were waged about negro quarters. Ono of the hottest engagements occurred in a negro church where about fifty negroes had barricaded themselves. Several massed attacks were launched against the church, but each time the attackers had to fall back under the lire of the negroes. Finally a torch was applied to the building, forcing out the occupants who fired as they ran. Several ne groes were killed. Large white crowds invaded the negro district snooting their way through. Some time after midnight the negro district was fired and at dawn it lay a seething mass of ruins. Officials estimate that more than wenty-hve separate tires were set. l f PV-v XX 0riiSa&' r Why That Headache When von know the raunn of ;i disease a cure may often he effected.

Eras ffiotarine jj a no a L i MOTOR OILS One method of cut ting motoring costs Low gracje oil, or oil of unsuitable body, is the direct cause of fully ninety per cent of all overhauling, repair and re placement costs. It is also frequently responsible for the low mileage many an automobilist complains of and blames on his gasoline. Finding just the correct lubricating oil for your engine will save you a lot of expense and bother. Polarine is the highest quality motor oil you can buy. Its stability under high engine heat provides a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal in the cylinders which insures maximum power and mileage from gasoline. Its smooth, continuous film protects bearings and engaging parts against wear, vibration and breakage. Polarine is made in four grades light, me dium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but only one quality. Get the- proper grade for your car next time you buy clean-burning Red Crown Gasoline and you will start cutting down motoring costs.
