ELECTION PROTESTS
NOT ENCOURAGED

. Washington, June 4.-The census
committee Of the house at its meet
ing just held here took an dmpor-
tant step and one of vital interest
to the entire country regarding fu-
ture apportionment of the members
of the house. Commenting on the ac-
tion of the committee, Congressman
John j. McSwain of South Carolina,
a member of the committee, said:
"The census committee has in
charge any legislation affecting the
reapportionment of membership in
the house. The action of the COM
mittee fixed a policy and course of
procedure to be followed. 1t was
decided that instead of entertaining
blanket charges supported by hear
ing testimony, there must, first, be
introduced bill or resolution dir
ecting' an investigation az to some
particular election i'm some specific
state or states, where, it is claimed
that male citizens nave been denied
the right to vote. Then testimony
will be heard only from those who
know the facts. It can be easily
seen that such procedure will con-
fine those who compain to the facts
and to the truth of each case and
will shut off reckless and unfouded
charges that originate in prejudice
and suspicion and are calculated TO
intensity feeling but can do no
good"

BUSINESS MEN TO
BUILD HOMES FOR
TULSA DESTITUTE

Tulsa, Okla, June 4.-Definite
plans for building homes for the
thousands of negores rendered desti-
tute by the burning Of the negro
quarters here in the race war of
Tuesday night and Wednesday were
being worked out today by civilian
committee Of relief.
Business men Of the city have
agreed to erect as many houses as
needed in the shortest time possible
and only the details remain to be
worked out. One plan was to clear
away the debris from the area level
ed by fire and erect permanent
dwellings costing from $500 to ST.
600 each. Another scheme under
consideration was to form a corpora
ton to buy up land in the northern
part Df the city and build new ne
gro colony.
The number Of known dead re-
manned at thirty today, no additional
bodies having been found. The list
was expected to be increased by
deaths Of some Of the several hun
dred wounded.
A real estate committee set to
work today to determine the extent
of the property damage which has
been fixed unoficially at s1,500,OO0
Martial law, greatly modified, re-
fnained in effect today, but the 800
troopy had little to do except aid in
relief work among the negroes. It
was believed they might entrain to
morrow, although Adjutant General
Barrett said the military would : re-
main in control until he was assured
that the civil Officials were fully pre-
pared to handle the situation and
prevent any possible recurrence of
the disorders.
Hundreds of negroes wearing
badges inscribed "police protection"
We're on the streets and downtown
Tulsa took on a normal appearance.
More than 1000 negroes, those
who have not been released from
guard, slept last night at the fair
grounds.
The Red Cross distributed food
and clothing.
