TULSA. Okla.. June 1. Tossibly
100 persons dead, hundreds wounded
and DroDertv damase. estimated at
11,500.000 were outstanding: results
tonight of race disorders which broke
oat here last nisht following the ar
rest of a negro accused of attackin
a white girl and which continued
sporadically today.
Tonight Tulsa was quiet, with the
city under martial law and its streets
patrolled by troops of the Oklahoma
national guard, sent here at the di
rection of Governor Robertson. Of
ficials were hopeful that the worst of
the trouble had passed and that the
cumins of dawn would find normal
conditions restored.
Vigilance la Kept l a.
However, they did not relax their
vigilance and it was stated that all
was prepared for any situation. Civil
" officials were co-operating with Adjutant-General
Barrett, who came
this morning: with additional troops.
No accurate check of the dead had
been made late tonight and unofficial
estimates ran from the known list
of ten white and 70 negroes dead, to
an opinion of Police Inspector -Daley,
second in command of the police
force, that the list would reach 173.
The exact total, officers said, would
probably never be known, as a num
ber of negroes perished in the flames,
which consumed the entire negro dis
trict, which formerly housed about
13,000 negroes.
'Wide DUtrirt Raced.
The razed area begins near a sta
tion of the St. Louis & San Francisco
railroad at Boston avenue, scene of
the heaviest of the fighting today.
Continuing east along the railroad,
the district extends to Pearl avenue,
north along Pearl to a point half a
mile outside the city limits, west to
Cincinnati avenue, south on Cincin
nati to Lowell, for a short distance
west on Lowell to Boston and then
south on Boston. The area covers a
space in the shape of an L.
A few feeble flames lighted sec
tions of the burned waste tonight,
while a few walls rise against a
background of smouldering debris.
Thousands Are Refugee".
Thousands of negroes and their
families, however, fled to the city and
it la reported come have taken refuge
in Bartlesville, Okla.
'We have the situation well under
control," Adjutant-General Barrett
said tonight. "We don't anticipate
further rioting, although nothing has
been overlooked as a protection
against its recurrence. With Tulsa
under martial law we expect to see a
rapid readjustment of conditions."
5ooo in Cauipa.
About 5000 negroes were herded
tonight jn the fair grounds east of
the city under the protection of na
tional guardsmen. They were gath
ered there from all points in the city
where they sought refuge.
Hundreds of homeless negroes who
fled to the country were drifting
back tonight. They came afoot and
in wagons, carrying what few house
hold possessions they could escape
with. Crowds of several hundred,
resembling refugees in the war zone
in France, could be seen trudging
back toward Tulsa.
The negroes at the fair grounds
-ere being cared for and fed under
the direction of a committee com
posed of prominent citizens. The
body was also charged with investi
gating the riots and fixing responsi
bility. At a meeting today several
members voiced criticism of the ac
tion of white men who wilfully de
stroyed property owned by negroes
and rendered thousands homeless.
W ild Disorder Helena.
From shortly before 10 o'clock last
right, when the first firing began
near the courthouse, until late this
morning, the city presented a scene
of wild disorder. Hundreds of auto
mobiles bearing armed white men
raced about the business district.
The heaviest fighting occurred be
tween midnight and 6 A. M., when
several pitched battles with hundreds
on each side were waged in the negro
quarter.
One of the hottest engagements oc-
--curred in a negro church where about
60 negroes had barricaded themselves.
Several massed attacks were
launched against the church, but
each time the attackers had to fail
rak under the fire of the negroes.
Negotiations lo Adopt 'Alliance in
Modified Form Within Year
Reported in Progress.
TOKIO, June 1. (By the Associated
Press.) Jreat Britain, the Nichi
Nichi declares today, has suggested
that Japan permit the Anglo-Japa
nese alliance to continue another
ear. The two nations are definitely
negotiating for a revision of the alli
ance, the newspaper says.
The Nichi Nichi surmises Great
Britain's suggestion its based on the
desirability of awaiting both the out
come of the imperial conference and
tho fixation of the attitude of the
United States. Within a year it thinks
the pact might be renewed in mod
ified form and with scope localized,
principally the maintenance of the
open door and the integrity of China.
The Chu-O-Shlmbun. considered to
be a government organ, explains that
the suggested postponement of re
newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
is due to the Imperial conference in
London. It thinks Great Britain de
sires a continuance of the alliance;
that New Zealand and Australia are
favorable to such . continuation, and
that the Canadian opposition will disappear.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, June 1. No oral
argument can be made before the
L'nted States supreme court to have
set aside the confession of error in
the case of Henry Albers, convicted
under the espionage act, until the
cenrt has examined t-he brief of the
Oregon Bar association filed by Sena

This was the ruling of the court
today when Senator McNary appeared
to make an oral argument for reopen
ng the case as requested by the Ore
gon Bar association. Senator McNary
had spoken but a few words when
halted by Acting Chief Justice Mc-Keniia.-
Justice McKenna said that if the
application of the Oregon Bar asso

enough then to listen to oral arguments.
PENDLETON. Or., June 1. (Spe
cial.) Prices ranging from 1 to 19 V4
cents a pound were paid for wool in
annual sale of the farmers pool
Pilot Rock, held today. About
5 1 200.000 pounds were offered for sale
and of this amount approximately
50,000 pounds were sold. The total
amount offered for sale this year is
a marked decrease over that offered
in past years and is accounted for by
Mac Hoke, secretary . of the Oregon
Wool Growers' association, by the
fact ,that many growers have already
sold or consigned their clips or are
not ready to sell.
The highest price paid was 19 M
cents, this figure being paid by the
American Woolen company of Lowell,
Mass., for 11,000 pounds of the Ed
wards clip. Among the other 12 or
more buyers bidding today were the
Portland Wool Warehouse and J.
Koshland of Portland, who recently
paid 18 cents for a 100,000-pound clip
belonging to the Butte Livestock
company of Condon, Or. Eight or ten
growers sold their clips In the sale
today.
The prices offered are much better
than expected, according to Mr. Hoke,
who believed results of today's sale
indicated a. better market in the future.

MRS. SOUTHARD NERVOUS
Alleged Murderer Leaves Honolulu

HONOLULU, T. H., June l.-llrs.
Lydia Trueblood Southard, charged
with the murder of Edward F. Meyer,
her fourth husband, left here today
aboard the steamer Matsonia en route
to Twn Falls, Idaho, where she will
stand trial.
Mrs. Southard was In charge of V.
H. Ormsby, an Idaho deputy sheriff,
and his wife. She appeared pale and
nervous as she boarded the vessel.
She carried flowers given her by Ar

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 1. Va
rious Internal revenue laws enacted
prior, to adoption of the 18th amend
ment and designed to cover illicit dis
tilling have been superseded and an
nulled by. the amendment -nd the
Volstead act, the supreme court heid
today.
The court sustained the Unittd
States district court in Or?t,'on in
quashing an indictment under the old
statutes against Boze Yuginovich and
Cousin Boze Yuginovich, on the
ground that no offense had. .been
charged under the Volstead act.
Mrs. Annette Adams, assistant at
torney-general, who appeared for the
government, said the effect of the de
cision would be to abate prosecution
in a number of cases in which indict
ments were similarly based, and pos
sibly cause remittance of fines im
posed in cases already decided con
trary to today's ruling.
I. oner Tribunal Upheld.
On the other hand, Wayne B
Wheeler, counsel or the .anti-$a,loQU
league, tonight held that the decision
would serve as further support for th
dry forces. The court agreed with the
lower tribunal in holding that "con
gress manifested an intention to tax
liquor illegally as well as legally pro
duced." Boze and Cousin Boze Yuginovich
were indicted for violations of sec
tions of the revised statutes.' The
first count charged "unlawfully en
gaging in and carrying on tbe busi
ness of distillers," the second with
having failed to keep "conspicuously"
over their place of business a sign
reading "registered distillery," the
third with having failed to give the
required bond and the fourth with
having "unlawfully fermented a cer
tain mash."
The only question before the court,
the government conceded, was1 wheth
er the lower court had erred in de
ciding that the laws on which the In
dictments were based had been re
pealed by the advent of national pro
hibition. "The Volstead act." the opinion said,
"repeals all prior acts to the extent

STORK ACTIVE ON MALTA
Increase of Birth Kale Startles
Tiny Island.
WASHINGTON. D. C. June 1.
While France and some other coun
tries are disturbed over the failing
birthrate, the Island of Malta is em
barrassed by an Increase of Its pop
ulation'of 2000 to 3000 a year due to
high birthrate. Malta is already
overcrowded, but the population con
tinues to increase rapidly.
The American consulate at Valetta,
in a report received, states that the
island government Is seriously, con
sidering a plan for emigration which
involves a payment of at least part
of the passage of any Maltese who
desire to leave the island.
Agreement Looking to Disarma

by Leaders, It Is Said.
LONDON, June 1. (By the Associ
ated Press.) The imperial premiers,
together with representatives of In
dia, will assemble here the second
fcrtnight in June for what is consid
ered the most important meeting of
the kind held in the British empire.
Matters to come up will include naval
defense, renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty, the imperial foreign pol
icy and arrangements for a subse
quent imperial conference to settle
'lines of policy as between the other
country and the dominions and the
representation of the dominions In
the imperial parliament.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance is the
dominant question, involving rela
tions between Great Britain and the
United States and incidentally the
naval policy.
That part of the naval policy which
needs settlement is the extent to
which dominions will contribute to
the burden of the naval defense,
which heretofore had fallen largely
on the mother country.
The dominions are represented as
willing to bear larger shares of the
naval expenses, but expect, in return,
a greater voice in the imperial pol
icy.
Action of the United States eon
gress concerning a naval conference
between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan has excited in
tense interest here, because any such
move promising to ease the burden
of naval armaments would, remove
load of anxiety from imperial states
men.
With regard to the Anglo-Japa
nese alliance the public declarations
of General Jan Christian Smuts, Will
iam Morris Hughes and William F
Massey, premiers, respectively, of the
Union of South Africa, Australia and
New Zealand, leave little doubt as to
the line of policy the conference may
pursue. They all favor renewal of
the alliance, but conditionally on the
treaty being modified so as to remove
all possibility of suspicion by the
United States.
The question of the renewal of the
"alliance involves delicate and diffi
cult questions concerning Immigration
and racial restrictions, as well as
Japan's relations with China.
Australia and New Zealand feel
strongly on the question of immigra
tion. The whole field of far eastern
policy is likely to come under review

In discussing proposals that a neu

the baron said:

to recognition of the 'Korfanty line'
and would mean the Poles would

property If the British and Italians
would make a quick and energetic
attack."

DISARMAMENT IS KEFCSED
German General Declines to Nego

BY AHiNO-DOSCH FLEUROT.
(CopyriEht bv the New York World. Pub

BERLIN, June 1. (Special cable.)
Reports at band of a conference at
Oberflorau, upper Silesia, between
the German General Hoefer and
French and British officers, say that
Hoefer refuse to negotiate with
Korfanty for disarmament and the
restoration of peace, saying that he
did not choose to be placed on the
same footing with Korfanty.
He took the stand that he is In
upper Silesia merely to keep order.
whilb Korfanty Is an insurgent leader.
This means that Hoefer will not dis
arm. As long as his troops are en
trenched along the Korfanty line, the
British cannot carry out their pur
pose to re-establish British an Inter
allied authority in upper Silesia.
It will be necessary for the British
to bring up many more battalions be
fore they can tranquillize the district.
They do not dare to use the German
plebiscite police or to permit Hoefer'i
army to become aggressive If they
expect to be taken in good faith by
the Polish insurgents.
A police force . strong enough to:
control all of upper Silesia must be
