handed to me by a messenger re-
questing permission for Ku Klux

rade in this city Saturday night, Ap-
ril 1, between the hours of Z and 9

protection during said parade.
Appeals to All Citizens
"At the present time in Tulsa con-
ditions are inflamed concerning va
rious actions. whether true or not, at
tributed to this particular organiza-
tion race and religious prejudices
and differences are strongly in evi-
dence, and any appearance of the
khan at this time is inopportune-
very likely to cause disturbance OF
the peace to say the least.
"In view Of the conditions existing
at the present time in this city. !
believe it will be best to withhold
any permit to parade in the streets
as requested and appeal to the mem
bers of said khan and to all citizens
to use their influence to prevent this
demonstration, and thus avoid any
trouble that might arise.

COLORED GIRL Wins
right TO MANAGE
$1,000. 900 ESTATE
Especial to The Tribune)


Kansas City, Mo-, April IA Miss
Sarah Rector, Americas 100000 oil
queen, is rejoicing at her home follow
ing the decision of Judge ]. E. Gui-
mott, deciding that she was compe-
tent to take care OF her own money.
Two applications were filed one by
John Collins, colored, an uncle of Miss
Rector, asking that Monte Simpson,
white be appointed a guardian, and
another by G. C. Parker, white, ask
ing that he be appointed guardian of
the estate.
The applications charged that be-
cause of her age, Miss Rector was in
competent to handle the large income
from her fortune. Judge Guinott rul-
ed that Miss Rector was of legal age
and capable of administering her own
estate. The Rector estate, the value
of which is estimated at $1,500,OO,
consists Of 100000 in oil lands in
Oklahoma and $1,OOO,OOO in Kansas.
The judge not only refused the plea
of white and a colored man to man
age her estate, but complimented Miss
Sarah highly on her intelligence and
thrift. Miss Rector's wealth is de-
rived from her allotment in the great
cushing oil fields, one of the richest
fields in Oklahom. She received this
allotment under the Creek Indian Act,
which gave Negroes held as slaves by
Indians the same property rights as
their masters.
The allotment yields an annual in
come between $4,000 and $4,000.
A large part of this revenue Miss
Rector has invested in Liberty bonds
and farm land. She has about $780,
600 invested in the bonds and her $40
acres of land are valued at nearly
100000.
Miss Rector, who is a pure blood
Negro, lives with her parents in what
was once one of the most fashionable
districts of the city, but is now being
taken over by the wealthier colored
folk Apparently she supplies both
the funds and financial genius for the
family, and she manages the house
hold well and economically
She owns an automobile, not pre-
tentious but good, and in the matter
of dress is about on a par with the
average girl of her age. She is a
high school graduate, but she did not
win any honors at school
To Charles H. Galloway, a learned
and brilliant young attorney, who is
legal adviser for Miss Rector, is due
the credit for the successful termin
alton of the fight that has been going
on in the courts for years and both
Miss Rector and Judge Galloway have
been showered with congratulations
she for having the race loyalty and
courage to employ a Negro lawyer
in a contest involving such large
sums and he, for the magnificent and
mastery manner in which he has
handled the case from beginning tc
end.
