NEGRO IERROR|zED
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Girl And Boy Both Escape Before
Harm is Done-To Make an
investigation.

Muskogee, Okla, May 14.--Children
at the Franklin school are terrorized
by an attack of two negroes made yes
terday upon two pupils, boy and a
girl.
The children are afraid to go to
school and parents are sending them
with nurses and servants.
The attack has not yet been re-
ported to the police or the school au-
thorities and the children who are
between the ages of six and eight
cannot exactly describe it, Two girls,
both seven years of age, say that they
saw the attack Many others say that
their little friends at school told them
about it.
One story that is being told is that
two negroes, evidently crazy, pursued
and caught two Of the children, a
boy and a girl, and attempted to
strangle them The negroes apparent
ly became frightened at the children's
screams and fed before hurting them
Another report and the one that is
probably true is that two negroes ran
after a little girl for nearly a block
and then turning down an alley dis
appeared, Screaming and with her
curls flying the girl ran ahead Of the
negroes.
One girl was found last night who
said she saw the incident but she was
so excited and is SO young that she
cannot accurately describe the attack
When asked who the little girl was
she replied, T don't know"

CRISES EXPECTED
IN |N0LA FIGHT
Little sleep Laat Night In Town
Where Roy crutchfieId Resided
Rush orders for Ammunition.

Inola, Okla, May 1.-THE little city
of Inola slept little last night. Every
one is talking and preparing for pitch
battle that for several weeks has been
hanging like a threatening cloud over
the town.
All the ammunition In the town
was exhausted yesterday morning and
rush orders were sent to the neigh
boring cities. A large amount of
arms and ammunition is expected to-
day from Muskogee.
The conservative people are talk
ing peace but the town had been rest
less all day and the tension increased
as night drew on. The report has
gone around that today El Mallen and
his pal, who have been held for the
cold blooded murder Of Roy Crutch-
field here on the night OF the goth
of last month, will be released by the
state. The rumor says that there is
a lack Of evidence The preliminary
hearing that was to have occurred to-
day at Claremore did not take place
and news to that effect helped fire the
smoldering flames Of unrest.
Every person In the town last night
large enough to carry arms, did so.
For several days many Of the people
have been prepared. Many threats
have been made and several citizens
have received threatening notes to
leave town under the penalty OF
death. s4
Mallen and his pal were arrested,
charged with the murder. The state
said that it would prove that young
Crutchfield was lured by forged love
note to a lonely spot in the road. a
half mile from town where he was
foully murdered and robbed of $100
he was known to have received a few
hours before for rent of his farm.
Mallen is said to be the leader of
desperate gang. The gang has been
making the threats and it is believed
are the authors of the threatening
letters
Many men are gathering on the
street corners and excitedl,y discuss
ing the situation. The whole town
anxiously awaits the break of day,

A WORD ABOUT OURSELVES
DR.. Robert ]. Burdette. in Los
Angeles Times.
We Hawaiians-and when you
speak of this island Territory will
you kindly say it "Ha-vy-ee" and
not offend Our rather fastidious
ears, and at the same time will you
try to remember to pronounce Ho-
nolulu with two long "o's," so that
we may not think you an ignorant
race of mainlanders with slovenly
pronunciation? We Hawaians are
not at all worried over any lack of
Chinese or Japanese or Hindu or
Filipino or Egyptian or Korean
laborers and servitors and arts and
craftsmen.
Well, some of them are artisans,
and some of them are laborers, and
some are near-laborers, and others
again are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ers. But whatever they are, they
are here under the Stars and
Stripes and our territorial flag,
making living for themselves and
doing their best to make living
pleasant and easy for us Hawaiian
Americans. Our territorial flag has
a very English appearance at first
sight, but, all the same, it's as
Yankee as Dixie" 1t has eight
stripes, one for each of our islands,
beginning with white stripe at the
top and alternating white, red and
blue down to the lowest, which is
red; and they read if they begin
with the largest island Hawaii,
Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, La
mai, Niihau, Kahoolawe, which, be-
ing the smallest island, has of
course the biggest name. The list
sounds like a college yell. but it's
territorial shout. There IRE a few
other islands, with an aggregate
area of six square miles, but they
are not big enough to be on the
flag. They are not stripes; only
streaks. The field of our flag is the
union jack, memory Of the time
when these islands were called the
Sandwich Islands in honor of His
Lordship, the Earl of Sandwich.
But that sounded too much like a
short order for cham and" to
please people with such musical
taste and such musical language
so it was changed as soon as we
assumed the authority to name our
selves. Moreover, the name TN
