attention of the Nation to Tulsa, Okla
homa. The cause of the riot was an
alleged crime which never occurred
The Negroes were not the aggressors'
save in the sense that they fought TO
uphold law, prevent lynching, and pro-
tect their homes. We do not know
what secret organizations may exist IN
Tulsa among whites or blacks, but we
do know that our branches in Okla
homa stand with us for law and order
and open legal effort to uplift the
Negro and put down the mob. We are
glad TO commend the splendid action
of the Governor and the quick meas
ures of local relief; we now urge legal

TAMPA. Fla, July "a bitter pa
tronage row is on between the Florida
"lily whites" or irregulars and the
..black and tans" or regular Republican
organization. The lilly whites are
fighting the appointment of Matthew
b. Macfarlane of this city to be col
lector of customs for the Florida ports,
and have so far succeeded in blocking
his confirmation by the Senate. Mac

the objection will be unavailing, and
that Macfarlane's nomination Will
shortly be confirmed.

As an association subscribing fully
to the principles of law enforcement
we heartily and sincerely commend
the activity of the Department OF Jus

upon Attorney General DauSherty the
necessity for continued energetic ac-

conversely, we urge colored women to
induce colored men to respect and use
their rights of franchise.

GOT WATCH THEN
 BEAT POLICEMAN

After absorbing two drinks of whiskey in a local saloon last night John Godash. of 675 Ogden street, feverfsnly searched his pockets for coin with which to pay. John found no money, and the bartender started a, lot of trouble by confiscating the customers gold watch.
 Godash raced to police headquar- teIS, told his story and was sent back to the saloon with Patrolman James J. Renehan to reciver his property. The watch was secured, and Godash showed his appreciation by pitching into the pCkceman. The two men rolled over on the sidewalk in furi- oIIs encounter, and Patrolman Thos. r. Meehan, who was nearby. rushed to the assistance of his fellow officer.
 The prisoner spent the night at police headquarters, and was fined s and costs by the City court today.

Whether the jazz music was too much is hard to tell, but States At torney Cummings had quite a time getting her to remember that Mrs. Nott had told the Bopko family that evening she had washed her walls, be- cause they were dirty, and that they looked worse than they did before.
 On cross5 examination she also seemed woefully short of memory and she was assailed by shannon for the defense that she twice was on the verge of tears. Finally with a little coaching she did recall that Mrs. Mott looked badly that evening, and that the children also were hungry and that for that reason her mother sent her over to the Mott home to have the mother and children come over and have something to eat. Mrs Bopko apparently also tried her hand at a reconciliation, advising Mrs. Mott against breaking up housekeeping, little knowing that her husband was already dead.
 Margaret Bopko was the last wit ness examined before court adjourn ed at 1 o'clock for the lunch recess.
