Asks Justice for Negroes.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Does It pay to ignore the laws of
our land and country? should say
IL doesn't.
While riots and needless blood
shed have become common things
in Christian America, 1t is regret
table that Tulsa. Okla, has felt
called upon to stain her garments
with the blood of her most trusted
friends-the colored men and wom-
On of that state.
We have the courts tn deal with
the criminal. lawless mobs in this
country, and the courts - not the
them. Again I ask, Does it pay to
of many lives and upward of s4.-
100000 worth of property in Tulsa
says IL does not.
We enter not a single plea in be-
half of the colored man who Is
charged with the crime of attack
ing a girl, for all such hends should
be severely punished. But be IL re-
membered that civilized Christian
America has long since established
courts to perform that duty. And
no lawless mobs should be allowed
to step in and take the law into
their own hands.
Think OF It. while the Christian
Americans are collecting money and
discarded shoes and clothes to suc-
cor the helpless mothers and little
children In far-on Europe. among
whom might have been found some
of our most bitter enemies during

Carpenter Has
Quiet Day in Camp
AT Manhasset, L. |.

MANHAssET, N. Y, June Ia
Georges Carpenter had day of rest
to-day, doing no training except few
light calisthenics early in the after
noon.
He put in the morning with Manager
Deechamps and party of friends Yacht
ing in Ianhasset Bay as the guest Of
an admirer, Rene Revillen. While the
others fshed Georges took the wheel
and guided the yacht about.
After his calisthenics in the after
noon the championship contender en-
tertained his friends on the lawn of the
training camp and received a number
Of visitors. After an exhibition of
moving pictures in the living quarters
he said good night to his friends and
retired at 9 o'clock.
Trainer Gus Wilson said that An
toine Poulet, the light heavyweight who
has recently Joined the camp, probably
would box with Carpenter tom orrow
afternoon as we'll as Marcel Denis and
Joe Jeanette. The regular sparring
partners, Paul Lournee and Italian Joe
Cans, are scheduled to fight in Brook
lyn tomorrow night so they will not
be available in the afternoon.
During the absence of the party this
morning some small boys invaded the
camp and tore dowsl the wall of canvas
that hides the view of the boxing ring
from an adjoining field. This aroused
the wrath of Deschamps, when discov-
cred and he asserted that he would go
to any end, financial or otherwise, to
secure privacy for his protege during

In Brooklyn Park

This is the night when big Paul
Journee, Georges Carpenters sparrtAg
partner, gets his first test in an Amer
lean ring, for he is scheduled to face
Charlie Weinert, OF Newark, in the
main twelve-round bout at Ebbets
Field, in Brooklyn. Italian Joe Cans,
another of Carpenters stable mates,
is scheduled to go a like distance with
Augie Rather, the snappy middleweight,
and there will be two slX-round prelim-
mary bouts, just to get the crowd
worked up for the main Topping
matches.
Journee has been Topped before. Car
pentier himself did that little thing to
AZ. Paul in Paris some months ago, SO,
il it should so happen that Weinert
duplicates Georges's feat this evening
and fiattens Journee, the big French
man will know just how to act when
he hits the canvas.
But there is a possibility that Paul
may land the knockout wallop on hand
