'lliti KhiL: OMAHA, MUM DAY, JUNE 6. 1921. ( ( Tulsa Negroes Expected Riot, Evidence Shows Blacks Began Organizing Sev eral Hours in Advance of Outbreak Secret Society Action. Chicago Tribune able. Copyright, 1911. Tulsa, Ok!., June S. Organizers of the "African Blood Brotherhood,' said to be an international negro se cret society, whose activities incite racial hatreds, passed through Okla Iiorna two months ago and organized a Tulsa chapter of the society, ac cording to a statement by a public official here, who declared evidence of it was in the hands of the author ities. The natural suspicion is that some leaders of the negro mob who in vaded the white district 1 uesday nyiy have been linked with this so ciety. Investigations are now afoot to substantiate the theory that the heavy store of ammunition that ex ploded with the burning of the Af rican Methodist church Wednesday morning, was secreted in the base ment of the buitding by this so ciety. A negro editor is said to be na tional leader of the society, with headquarters in New York, from which he publishes The 'Crisis, an alleged incendiary negro periodical. One Leader Held. The police say they have the names of four negro agitators, one of whom is now being held. He claims to be a minister from Taft, Okl. Search is now being made for the three others. Negroes were organizing as early as 5 o'clock Tuesday night at the office of a Tulsa negro newspaper, edited more or less clandestinely, ac cording to a statement by O. W. Gurley, a wealthy negro, who suf fered heavy property loss in the burning of the black belt. He said the guns and ammunition were be ing distributed among the negroes at this center and that runners were being dispatched through the negro belt to arouse the blacks. Further corrorborative evidence of at least some degree of prior organ ization was adduced by a statement by a police officer that the police bad been notified at y o clock lues day night by the Tulsa telephone ex change that they bad intercepted a telephone message to Muskogee ask ing that 500 armed negroes be rushed to Tulsa to supplement the black forces here. The exchange reported that the reply was to the effect that men would be rushed to the scene. The Tulsa police, it was stated, at once notified the Muskogee police, who placed guards at all roads and railroads leading toward Tulsa. City Officials Silent There was a report that documents taken from arrested negroes and said to be in the hands of the authorities give details of the establishment of the African Blood Brotherhood, but jr.

The soldiers were stationed throughout the city. The city was rapidly getting back to normal, following three days of terror. Relief agencies employed hun dreds of men and women in feeding and clothing the thousands of black paupers, rendered helpless when hun dreds of homes were destroyed by flames. Charged With Dealing In Stolen Automobiles Des Moines, June 5. (Special Telegram.) Alfred G. Lozier, presi dent of the Lozier Finance company, was arrested here, charged with be ing the leader of a .ring of automo bile thieves, whose operatoins spread over the central Mississippi valley. The arrest of Lozier came as the culmination of three months of in vestigation. Scores of stolen automo biles have been sold to Des Moines residents by Lozier, police allege. The numbers on many of the cars have been altered and in many cases bodies have been interchanged. Ralph Upson to Represent America in Balloon Races New York, June 5. Ralph Upson, New York pilot, and C J. Andrus, chief forecaster of the United States weather bureau, who won the na tional balloon race from Birmingham, Ala., last month, were designated as one of three teams to represent the United States at the Gordon Bennet balloon race at Brussels in September. The Aero club of America, in making the announce ment, said the personnel of the other teams would soon be made public. Jananese Leader Attacks Government for U. S. Stand Tokio. June 5.

Johnstown Flood Stands Out as Greatest of All Like Disasters Several disastrous, floods in this country in the last 20 years have had death lists running into the hun dreds, but only two of them have been caused by torrential rains. One was the flood in 1913 that ran up a death list of 730 and prop erty loss of $180,873,000 in Ohio and Indiana. In 1903 about 300 lives were lost in a cloudburst at Heppner. Ore. The greatest disasters caused by floods in this period have been in Texas, two of them at Galveston, causing loss of lives running into the thousands. The flood that stands foremost in the memory of the country was that of Johnstown on May 31, 1889. in which 2,209 lives were lost and $10,000,000 worth of property de stroyed or swept away. This was not due to a storm, but to the break ing of the reservoir of Lake Cone iruugli, a body of water two miles and a half long, a mile and a half wide and more than 100 feet deep. This held then a larger volume of water than any other reservoir in this country. Highest Pressure Flood. The distance from the lake to Johnstown was 18 miles and it was estimated that the flood covered this distance in about seven min utes. It was the highest pressure flood in history and after sweeninz Johnstown, the water rushed on so swiftly that bodies were found next morning in the Allegheny river at 1'ittsburgh, 78 miles away. The worst of the flood disasters Embalmer Sends Out S.O.S. When Body Twitches Belief That Negro Killed in Knife Duel Had Come to Life Dispelled by Police Surgeon. When the body of 'Lee Miller, negro, fatally stabbed In a knife duel with -John A- Scruggs, also negro, 2813 Dodge street, was laid on the embalming table in Hulse & Ripen's funeral home, it twitched and squirmed. James Battersby, who was em balming the body, left space behind him in calling a police surgeon. "Quick!, He's come to life," James shouted over the telephone. "Send up the police surgeon, that man isn't dead." Police Surgeon Floyd Kinyoun who rushed the undertaking par lor assured the embahners that Mil ler had been dead for more than an hour. Twitching of Miller's muscles, causing the body to squirm, was the action of rigor mortis, Dr. Ken youn explained. Miller suffered an ugly wound above the heart. He and Scruggs became engaged in a duel with pocket knives at Thirteenth and Fierce ' streets over remarks alleged to have been made by Miller to Scruggs' wife, police say. Scruggs was cut severely about the face and right arm. Policeman George arrested Scruggs at Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets less than a half hour after the cutting.- Scruggs had boarded a westbound train at Fourteenth and Pacific streets and hopped off under the Twenty-fourth street viaduct, a police report states. His wounds were attended by Dr. Kinyoun. They required 20 stitches. Scruggs was booked on a charge of murder. His wife was arrested as a state's witness. Postoffice Orders K'ashineton. June 4.

This flood caused by a hurricane from the Gulf of Mexico, which hurled great masses of water miles inland. The greatest force of this flood struck at Galveston and for 30 miles along the shore both above and below Galveston. Thousands of persons were made homeless and the acts of pillage and robbery of the dead and living has been unsurpassed in the history of flood districts, according to army officers who were at the city after the flood and also at San Francisco after the earthquake when similar excesses were checked by Brigadier General Frederick Funston. Brazos Valley Disaster. A year before this first Galveston flood, a flood in the Brazos valley in Texas caused hundreds of thousands of dollars damage and serious loss of lives. This flood was followed by the bursting of a dam at Austin the next -year, caus ing $1,000,000 damage and serious loss of lives. In the same year a series of floods in the Colorado river valley caused heavy loss oi lives and property damage. In the floods in Ohio and Indiana in 1913, thee itj hardest hit was Dayton, where a first estimate of the dead was placed at 2,000 and a property damage approaching $100, 000,000. When all the figures were gathered after the flood, however, it was learned that the list of dead was 732 for the two states and a property loss of $180,873,000. More than 60,000 buildings were flooded. Anti-Saloon League Calls Upon People to Enforce Prohibition Washington, June 5. The Anti Saloon league is calling upon the American citizenry to volunteer espionage of bootlegging and other violations of the prohibition en forcement law during the lull in official activities, due to a shortage of government funds. "The $200,000 appropriation for law enforcement adopted by the senate," said Wayne B. Wheeler, counsellor for the league, "will give relief as soon as it is available. Many of the enforcement men, however, have had to find new posi tions, and they will probably not be available. Others have been waiting to see if congress would act. Un til the men are back on the job, the people should use all of the power available to check lawlessness of the liquor interests. The tem porary let down was followed by a marked increase in lawlessness. "It not only is the privilege, but the obligation of every good citizen to report any violation of the liquor laws which come within their knowledge."

"There is no use to deny that there is a lot of unemployment in America," President H. B. Boylcs of Boyles college, saysi "It's a calamity to many people, of course, but it will prove the best thing that ever happened for thou sands of young people just making their start in life. "For the last five years employ ment actually has been too plentiful for the good of our young people. For five summers, high wages have literally been flung at the heads of young men and women just leaving the public schools. They had their choice of dozens of jobs, with the bidders for their services apparently competing to see which could offer the highest pay. "It was too tempting. In thou sands of eases, without a thought of the future, positions were accepted that required no skill or training. "But this is now ancient history. We are returning to 'normalcy.' Thousands of young people who yielded to the temptation of high pay for work that did not require skill or training are looking for jobs. They would be glad to have their old jobs back at almost any wages. "How much better for them had they taken thought of the future, sacrificed a few months of good pay and prepared themselves properly for good positions offering steady employment and with every oppor tunity for advancement Now they can only regret their action and look with envy upon their acquaintances who did prepare themselves and who arc now untouched by the wave of unemployment. "My advice to them is to waste no time no time in idleness, no time in job hunting. Let them not only plan against future unemployment, but plan the present summer against unemployment. Let them use every day of it industriously, in acquiring a training that will fit them for a clean, steady, responsible, good-paying position in the business world." PHOTOPLAYS.
