Terms on part if desired. Ghrist Al: Ghrist Furniture Store, IMattsmouth. Okla., June :;. Agitation by irresponsible negroes was today f)r the part of the in the race war here in statements by several prominent ne groes and Police Commissioner J. M. Aukinson. Tulsa tonight was under control of city and county authorities. At " p. in. Adjutant General Charles F. Harrett. in command since Wednes day morning under a proclamation of martial law, ordered state troops to entrain for their home stations. The :25 national guardsmen resi dent, in Tulsa were maintained on active duty however, to prevent a re currence of the rioting, which cost tnirty lives. approximately 400 wounded and property damage esti mated at $1,500,000. Withdrawal of the troops today was over the protest of the chamber '. f commerce of Tulsa, but was in accordance with advices of the spe cial board of public welfare of seven civic leaders, which has assumed control of relief and rehabilitation. According to Commissioner Adkin ;:om the police were aware that ne gro radicals had been at work for some time. He said that negro citi zens had been warned several uiLiiths ago that responsibility for any trouble would rest upon the negroes. "We have known about agitation in t lie negro section, and Chief Gus tafson and myself headed off what I. mm u-ed to develop Into a serious situation a short time ago. the com- missii ner said, adding that the ne srors had been holding weeklv meet ings. As the race war excitement flick ered out. the 'ear which kept negro leaders silent vas dispelled and they told the negroes' side of the story. Harney (leaver, a veteran negro peace officer and former deputy sher iff. named an alleged negro pedler as one of the principal leaders in the disturbance about the court house Tuesday which precipitated thevshoot ins and burning. Lost All He Had. O. W. Gurlev. probably the wealth iest negro in the city, told the story ot what happened in the negro sec tion and declared that the belliger ent negroes established headquarters at the plant of a negro newspaper early Tuesday evening, where they assembled large quantities or guns and ammunition. Negro runners were sent out to rally reinforce ments. Gurlev said. leaver said he warned negroes early Tuesdav evening that they would cause the negro section to be burned if they did not disperse and disarm. "They only laughted at me." Cleaver said. Cleaver, wealthy before the riots, now has only the clothes he wears. He paw a ray of hope today, 'however, as Charles Page, a wealthy oil man, offered to erect a new home for him. Gurlev said on the night of th? riots he went te the newspaper of fice about 9 o'clock and found activi ties far advanced. .Men were com ing in singly, and in little groups. he said, uuns and ammunitiejn were being collected from every available source. Many of the men were mak ing open threats and talking in a most turbulent manner." He said he was- unsuccessful in persuading them to avoid trouble. Gurlev said the publisher of the naper was present, anil when he saw him he was counseling the neeroes to keep cool and avoid trouble. He Good Will! We are not sacrificing permanent good will for temporary advantage. "TN an effort to attract buyers by price inducements, Jjstores without number have made purchases of be low standard goods.

Were Mostly Criminals. "There were not more than forty or Mty men m the crowd ot armed negroes who marched upon the court house." Gurley said. "They were nearly all 'dope' users or 'jake' drinkers with police records. How ever, mere were a lew more intelli gent ones in the lead." Gurley named the leader of th.t gang, who he said was a tali negr: who "came back from France with exaggerated ideas concerning equal ity." He and his brother ran two or three stores in the negro quarter. Intent on restoring negro homes, the special committee of Tul.-a civ:- leaders has not yet definitely decid ed on just wh:-t form that restore tioa shall take. It has several pr:;-po-ale before it. and it known that while the segregation plan -here was regarded as one of the most effective in the country i is intended to build a large negro district which will ba regarded as perfect. This is to be in great part an atonement for the harm done as well as an example for other cities. The real estate exchange has pro posed that the burned disrtict. rough ly a mile square, he converted into an industrial and wholesale district and a new residence and business district for negroes be built adjacent to it, to the north and east. The commi'toe expects no ditli culty in obtaining the $500,000 it has decided on as the amount neces sary to rebuild homes which were owned by negroes. Ll NG ON AN APPOINTMENT Clitics of Governor McKelvie's S; lecticn Say Appointment is Not in Accord With the Law Frank M. Coffey, secretary e-f the state federation of labor, in discus sing the appointment of the members of the state beiard of mediation and intervention in strikes and lockouts by Governor McKelvie. said: "This law was prepared and pass ed on the theory that it might fur nish an avenue through whi ' strikes and lockouts might be mini mized and the public, the innocent party to all labor differences, given a chance to bring about an adjust ment. "This law was called to the atten tion of Governor McKelvie at the time he hearing was had before him in the anti-pitketing bill. During his first term the geivernor had made no appointments. "Under the provisions ef the law the governor is empowered to ap point whom he pleases, subject, of course, to the limitations in the law. One member must be ;in employer, one member must represent the gen eral citizenship and be neither an enipleiyer or an employe, the other member must be a member of a labor union affiliated with the state fedr cition of labor. "Whether Mr. Pitzer and Mr. Towlt can start in to hear a com plaint in which labor presents a grievance with an open and impartial mind and at the close of the hearing give labor an even break with the employer, is not. from a purely le gal standpoint, a matte;- to;- discus sion. Rut the appeintinent of Wil liam Green is not in accord with the state law. And if the law is not ti be followed in the-creation of the l.eiard it seems only fair to presume that the operatiem and application of the law will not be fair and iur partial by a board created in open violation of the law." II. El wood, bnsinesss agent of the carpenters' union, said: "The carpenters' union of Lincoln had intended to file a complaint be fore the state Imard of mediation and intervention in strikes and lockouts. but the action of Governor McKelvie in the selection of the personnel of the board forces a dismissal of any such intention." said II. El wood, business agent of the carpenter's union. "The union has been locked out by the Lincoln contractors, not be cause of any difference as to the scale of wages, but for the sale reason that the contractors refuse to em ploy members e)f the union. "The union had intended to file a complaint before the state board al leging an unwarranted lockout, and that there was 'a combination be tween the architects and the mater ial men and the contractors to keep charging the public the war prices for construction by refusing the di vision of building cost which gies to the workmen." Discussing Mr. Green's appoint ment Mr. Elwood further says: "If the labor member of the board be a member of either the Ilavelock or the Lincoln machinists' union he is not a member of a local union affil iated with the state federation of labor, and therefore not qualified to sit as a member of the board.
