FORMER POLICEMAN
LETS CAT OUT OF Bag
in HIS CONFESSION
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Tulsa, Okla, Oct 21.-Elisha Scott
of Topeka, Kans., one of the attorneys
retained by the Tulsa riot victims, has
a signed affidavit in his possession
that when produced will throw an
entirely new light on the insurrection
carefully planned by the whites here
on May 81 last.
1t is the confession of former
Tulsa policeman, Van B. Hurley
(white), and consists of 81 pages.
Hurley, who was honorably discharg-
ed from the force and given splendid
recommendation by his captains and
lieutenants, names several prominent
city officials who he declared met in
a downtown office and carefully plan
ned the attack on the segregated dis
trict by the use of airplanes. He
gives in detail a description of the
conference between local aviators and
the officials
After this meeting Hurley asserted
the airplanes started out from hangers
and hovered over the district drop
ping nitroglycerine on buildings, set
ting them afire. When questioned re
garting instructions from police Of
ficials shortly before the riot, his an
swer was as follows:
They gave instructions for every
man to be ready and on the alert and
if niggers wanted to start anything
TO be ready for them. They put forth
no efforts at all to prevent it what
ever, and said if they started any
thing to kill every b. son of b.
they could find" Gustafson, who was
chief of police at the time, was later
dismissed.
"On the morning of June l they
gave me orders to go over to the
Negro district" Hurley said There
was a bunch of rogues, the lower class
OF white people. stealing and robbing
and bursting open trunks and carry
ing off stuff. Well, / found condi-
tions unspeakable in the way of rob-
berry. arrested eight and turned
them over to the patrol, but that is
the last l ever saw of them or heard
of them l don't suppose they ever
reached the jail"
Hurley says drays came later and
moved the stolen articles away, de-
spite the fact that the Boy Scouts,
guarding the district, had strict or
ders to permit only Red Cross cars.
1t was the former policeman's opin-
ion that members of our Race fought
in self-defense. However, he pune
tured his remark with an exception,
naming those who came to the court
house to avoid the proposed lynching
of Dick Rowland
The confession also involved a well
known police official. He is Captain
George G. Blaine. Hurley states that
Blaine rode in one of the airplanes
that hovered over the district during
the riot.

BRIDGEPORT GETS 5-CENT FARE.

1t is but temporary order that
gives Bridgeport a five-cent fare, I'M
der the direction of the Public Utili-
ties Commission.
In Bridgeport there are to be no
transfers on all the lines radiating
from the center OF the city to various
points at the city limits.
The five-cent fare is to go into eff
feet November 20, and is to remain
in effect for "a test period of 80 days
thereafter and until further order of
the commission in the premises"
Record Of expenses and receipts is
to be kept for the use of the COM
mission. It is not unnatural for the
commission to insert, as a precaution
lest the public be surprised at a
change to the old fare, that the Sue
cess or failure of the fve-cent fare
depends upon the patronage afforded
the Connecticut company.
The commission concludes that, I'M

A SPUR TO TRADE.

Senator Edge, speaking to the AS
ISOLATION of National Advertisers, says
that the Hughes plan for naval
holiday, if adopted, will prove a spur
to trade-"a panacea for the nations
commercial ills as well as a proven
tive of future wars"
We have displayed great national
unselfshness, is the senator's idea,
Since the greatest burden of Ameri-
can, business today was taxation" he
added. the gradual elimination Of
naval ornaments, with the conse-
oucnt reduction in taxes, would re-
store business prosperity in terms
equivalent to the lifting of taxes"
There may be no doubt but that
the Senator is right-to a certain ex-
tenth At first, perhaps, the change
would not be noticed. But as the
years pass the raising of the burden
would become more prominent,
But the feeling that would sweep
the world Immediately were the plan
to be adopted, would have its instant
moral effect The chasm into which
the last war plunged us seems open
still.
May the spur be not bunted by
alterations, and amendments which
would dull the poignancy Of its
points.

Washington, Nov It. - Physically
one of the frAilest of the notables at
the conference on limitation of arma-
ment, Artistide BRAND is nevertheless
one Of the dominating personalities.
There is . fire and magnetism about
the man that inescapably marks him
as one OF the controlling nerve cen
ters. Although he speaks only in
French, he holds the interest of his
whole audience.
His dark bushy hair and mustache;
his short, slightly stopped figure; his
big, black cigar, are much the same
as those you will see on any crowded
city street. But there radiates from
the man a sense of force and fire that
is dramatic in its intensity.
