was one-we left to solve itself.
Suddenly the war gave us violent

considerable more than the contin-

maintaining a haven for the op-

glance to their adopted country
was doubtful: that We had for

under certain circumstances use its

Commissioner Issues Warning

Insurance Commissioner j. j. McMa-
han.
at frequently comes to my atten-
tion," says the commissioner in his
public statement, "that someone has
taken insurance in an unlicensed COM
pany, the business being solicited
through the mails. 1t usually hap
pens that when the time comes to col
lect on the policy there is no way to
force compliance with the contract
except to sue in the home state of the
insurance company. This practically
defeats the claim, especially when
the amount of insurance is small and
the insured of limited means.
Everyone should be careful not to
take out any insurance unless in
formed authoritatively that the insur-
ing company is licensed to do busi-
ness in this state.
"In the case of a licensed company
it is only necessary to send the sum-
mons and complaint to the insurance
department, for acceptance of serv-
ice upon the defendant company, and
the action may be brought in any

GOVERNMENT TO
Aid COTTON men
WANAMAKER AND SMITH SHOW
GREAT REDUCTION IN
ACREAGE.

New York, May 30.-Ways and
means of rehabilitating the cotton in
dustry and putting it on pre-war
basis, were discussed today at the op-
ening of national consultation of
American cotton growers, manufac-
curers and affiliated interests.
Leading cotton growers and govern
mental officials warned that the coun-
try faced the shortest cotton crop in
the last twenty-five years, and that
unless immediate steps were taken to
create a market and restore the staple
to profitable price, a greater short
age would result in the next few
years.
Figures presented by the various
speakers showed that the reduction in
cotton acreage this year ranged from
80 to 35 per cent, due to the acreage
reduction campaign by the American
Cotton Association, the ravages of the
boil weevil and unfavorable weather
conditions. - ~.
The government recognizes that the
industry faces a critical situation,
President Harding declared in a tele-
phone message to the conference, and
h. assured the cotton growers that the
administration desired in every pos
sible way to cooperate with those seek
ing to improve conditions.
Two three-year-old daughters of
cotton men replied to the Presidents
message thanking him on behalf of
the North and the South.
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, of
Louisiana, cotton planter, estimated
that cotton producers had lost approx
ilnately $2,O00,OO0 in 1920, due to adj
verse market conditions.
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Car
olina, said that with a group of Sen
ators from the agricultural states Of
the south and West, he believed they
had solution of the situation in view.
He explained that it was proposed to
rnodify the federal reserve act so that
the farmer would have some fixed and
dependable financial arrangements. He
added that it was proposed to make
it mandatory upon the home banks
and the regional banks to accept the
farmers paper at fixed discount rates.
and that this paper should be good
as long as the banks assets permitted,
Cotton, at no time, he said, should sell
below thirty cents.
The American cotton crop is the
most wastefully handled staple farm
product in the world, Harvie Jordan,
secretary of the association, declared.
"Uneconomic. loses due to waste and
primitive practices in baling and hand
ling the cotton crop" he said, "wipe
out the annual value of crop ev-
cry ten years, according to figures
prepared by the United States Bureau
of Markets. These losses aggregate
nearly s2OO,00O.O0O per annum.'

NEGRO PRISONER

Tulsa, Oklahoma, June Race
riots today resulted, in the death of
eighty or more persons, including nine
whites, and the injury of scores, ac-
cording to estimates by the police, and
in the destruction of ten blocks OF
homes in the negro quarter. Despite
the placing of the city under martial
law today. desultory firing continued
during the afternoon, but the city this

Four companies of the National Guard
under Adjutant Gen. Barrett are on
duty.
The reported death list grew all day.
At noon the chef of police notified
Governor Robertson at Oklahoma Ci-
ty that the total was seventy-fve. !
The trouble is declared to have
started last night after the arrest Of
negro charged with attacking a
white girl, and subsequent attempts
of negroes to rescue the arrested man.
Comparative quiet prevailed in the.
late hours of the night but at day
break a group of negro houses were
set afre and the city firemen were
prevented from fighting the flames.

faced each other across railroad
tracks, on which could be seen num-

issued for the disarmnig of all per-
sons not belonging to the guard or

Detachments of the National Guard

In the historic Episcopal church OF
Pohick in Virginia, of which George
Washington was once a vestryman,
President Harding last Sunday paid
his respects to members of the parish
who gave their lives to the nation in
the World war.
After the services, at which hun
dreds from the Virginia countryside
crowded into old-fashioned box pews,
the President addressed the gathering
and exhorted the parishioners to GO
forth from the house of worship re-
solved "to preserve inviolate those
principles of right and justice" tor
which Americans had always Fought
The occasion for the Presidents
worship in the pew once occupied by
George Washington was the unvelllng
of a tablet in memory Of three for
mer parishioners Of the church who
served in the world war.
While disclaiming any intention OF
venturing into a discussion of the
cause of the World war, the president
declared that America fought to pre-
serve the rights of the republic and
to maintain the civilization in which
we had such a part in making, and
in that service we have rendered trib-
ute not only to that cause but also
to the highest ideals of humanity"
In reference to the concord between
the North and South which the war
helped to achieve, the president as
serted there was no longer any sug-
pestion of conflict since eve un-
sheathed the sword in behalf Of suf-
fering humanity and were brought
into a supreme and sublime effort to
save the civilization Of the world"
In that effort 1--WE have found the
soul of America" the Chief Executive
continued, and the sections of the ma
ton "are united in the sweetest con-
cord that ever united men,"
Allusion was made by Mr.. Harding
to the fact that he came from Ohio,
which was Virginia's gift to the
Union when she gave up the old north
west territory. The tribute 10 the

the church to witness the unveillng
ceremony the president directed at

the president asked, "is the daughter
