ness and in most cases were received
back. Hotel and office building service
was almost wholly demoralized by the
race war during which every negro
man was driven from the white dis
trict. Martial law restrictions which
last night swept the streets OF pedes-
triAns and all conveyanoes at o'clock,
were modified tonight. Business
houses and theaters were permitted to
remain open and strcetcar lines were
again In operation.
Every military precaution, however,
was taken to forestall any further dis
order. A heavy Gordon was maintained
about the negro section and it was kept
under constant patrol.
Legion Members Aid Police
Central military stations were estab-
lished at various points through the
city, and armed detachments of militia
and deputy police sworn in from the
local American Legion post we're held
In readiness to proceed to any section.
The Tulsa police were restored to
duty, although subordinate TO the mill
tary. Boy Scout leaders had during
the rioting assumed control Of street
traffic, freeing the police for riot serv-
Ice in the affected area.
Released negroes on the streets to-
night, while not openly hostile, for the
most part maintained sullen silence
Deep resentment was manifested by in

an ostensible attitude on their part to
lay a large share of the blame on their

themselyes had been the victims Of
peonage in and near the town OF Ok
mulgee, which Is about thirty miles
from Tulsa, scene of the riots, and
that colored people in that section had
received warnings weeks ago to leave
the state or suffer the consequences.
Lizzie Johnson, one of the eight,
said that white cards had been posted
outside the doors Of cotored homes in
Okmulgee warning the negro eccu-
pants to leave. and that similar warn
ing had been published weeks ago in
an Okmulgee newspaper.
Stella Harris asserted, according to
the statement, that before her flight
her houae had been set on fire three
times in ore night and that but for
the friendliness Of white brakeman
from the North who awoke them they
would have been burned to death.
James Weldon Johnson, secretary az

WASHINGTON. June 2.--Formal In
dorsement of the Central American
Confederation of States was voiced to-
day by Secretary Hughes In an address
at a luncheon in HIS honor given by
Msximo II. zepeda, Nicaraguan For
eign Minister. Mr.. Hughes said that ii

be a happy result"
sit is difficult to set bounds to what
may be accomplished in Central Amer
ica with cessation of strife" Mr..
Hughes said, "and with earnest endeav-
or on the part of the Central American
republics to secure the full benefits of
joint action in order to ansure the COM
mon prosperity to the largest degree
possible. 1t is not for me TO speak of
the details of such proposals. for this

Ratrolman Hech, of the Miller Ave-
nue. station, Brooklyn, went strolling
through Linton Park Wednesday night.
The place is popular among Browns
ville's younger set for its nooks and
corners which, after sundown, are pro-
tectcd by lovely darkness.
Seated on bench in one of these
shadowy patches Hech came upon Miss
Rose Goldberg, young and fashionably
dressed, and her tiance, Max Kaminsky.
The situation Jared somewhat upon
the officers sense Of the fitness Of
things because, he said later, it was
after IL o'clock. The couple, according
to what the patrolman said afterward
in court, were 30 close together that
they seemed lika one person. Miss
Goldberg qualified this description by
saying that they were seated SO near
each other because they he'd taken a
long walk and poor Max was weary.
Not Too Tired to Fight
Hech said he asked the couple why
they didn't 60 home to do their spoon
ing, query which seemed to make the
tired Max exceedingly indignant. De-
spite the fact that Max measures only
five feet four inches from the ground
up and Patrolman Hech towers we'll
above six feet, the former hpng OFF
his coat and announced that If the
officer made "any more funny cracks
like that" he would knock him for
either a marcel or permanent wave
whichever he preferred.
This moved Hech to invite both Miss
Goldberg and Max to accompany him
to the Miller Avenue station. The
couple didn't object to this SO much
as they did to the fact chat Asch IN
sisted that the girl walk OH his right
side and Max on the left. They marched
this way until they turned into Miller
Avenue and were passing the house at
371, where Max lives. Here Miss Gold
berg declared that, out of Difference to
public opinion, she should walk with
Max while the patrolman occupied the
outside position.
Hech objected, and thereupon, ac-
cordinc to his sworn testimony, Miss
Goldberg started swing from some
where near, the ground that terminated
under his right ear, 1t had sufficient
force behind it to send Patrolman
Hech's cap skidding to the other. side
of the street. Hech said that for
moment he felt like row OF lamp
posts.
The episode was concluded In Judge
Dodd's court.
The Judge made an earnest effort to
ascertain exactly what. happened In the
lark

Negroes Blame Peonage
For Outbreaks i'm Tulsa

The National Association FOR the
Advancement of Colored People issued
q statement yesterday concerning the
arrival in New York Of eight negroes
who left the Tulsa region three weeks
ago because Of racial hostility. The
statement said:
1.-The refugees asserted that under the
system of peonage which prevails In
Oklahoma crops have been taken from
the colored farmers and share~crop-

in return only a bare subsistence to
the negro tenant.
