morning. A number of women and
children huddled terror-stricken In
the women's rest room and crouched
behind marble wainscoting.
"Pullman cars standing in the yards
were fired on and the windows shat
tered. Passengers left their berths
and lay on the floor in the aisles.
"There was a lull In the firing when
a passenger train pulled in and wor
men and children alighted. Then the
firing began again."
A'cgrocs Ordered discharged.
OKMULGEE, Okla.. June 1. Con
tractors in charge of construction of
a seven-story building here today
were warned to dismiss from their
employ all negroes when a notice
signed "committee" was found tackd
to the fence around the excavation
for a basement here late today. The
notice reads that "something will be
done" if the order is not observed.
Finally a torch was- applied to the
building, forcing out the occupants,
who fired as they ran. Several ne
groes were killed.
Large white crowds invaded the
nesro district, shooting their way
through. Some time after midnight
the negro district was fired, and at
dawn it lay a seething mass of ruins.
Officials estimate that more than
. 25 separate fires were set.
Tonight officials, civilian and mili
tary, were taking every precaution to
prevent a recurrence of the trouble
.Ncgrroe Thought Dea4 In Home.
Accurate estimates of the number
of negro dead, officials said, were
impossible tonight because of the
varied and conflicting reports. The
estimates ranged from 70 to 175. The
estimate of 175 was made by Inspec
tor Daley, second in command of the
Tulsa police, when in a telephone
message to the governor he gave It
as his opinion that many negroes had
burned to death when their homes
were fired. '
Early tonight police headquarters
had reports that conservative esti
mates of tho dead would be about 25
whites and 50 negroes.
Events piled fast on each other.
Dawn brought with it reports of
' shooting throughout the negro sec
tion, followed by a mounting casulty
list, burning of th negro quarter,
arrival of national guardsmen and
finally martial law.
Prompt medical attention was given
wounded at hospitals and dressing
stations. Civic organizations and citi
zens who volunteered their services
cared for the negro refugees to whom
ice water and sandwiches were served.
Call Sent for Xnmri.
Special care was given to the infirm
and a call was sent to nearby towns
for nurses.
The early fighting gave way to
. sporadic firing later, and by noon the
city was quiet and officials declared
the situation in hand. Later, how
ever, scattered firing again was
heard.
Firing of the negro section drove
residents out by the hundreds. They
rushed from their homes though the
flames, shouting "don't shoot." Placed
under guard, they were collected In!
hastily improvised detention camps.
Adjutant-General Barrett of the
Oklahoma national guard was placed
in command of the situation about
noon by Governor Robertson, who
telegraphed the general that he had
invoked martial law and was holding
him responsible for "maintenance of
order, safety of lives and protection
of property.
300 Soldiers on Duty.
He was directed to "do all things
necessary to attain these objects." It
was estimated that the general had
300 or more guardsmen at his dis
posal stationed at strategic points.
The trouble was supposed to have
originated in connection with the
arrest of Dick Rowland, negro, who
was alleged to have attacked an
orphan girl.
After crowds of negroes had
marched by the county Jail last night,
where Rowland was confined,
authorities spirited him out of the
city early today.
Following the firing of the first
shot about 10 o'clock last night at
-Sixth and Boulder streets, the fight
ing spread. At one time 2000 armed
white men were reported to have en
gaged the negroes.
Kailroad stations were the scene
of several encounters and a number
of casualties resulted when trains
were fired upon. Women and chil
dren huddled together in the station,
seeking safety behind marble slabs
of v ainscoating. j
.Negro Quarter Guarded.
With the arrival of guardsmen early-
today, reinforcing the local national
guard, a cordon was thrown about
the negro quarter and an effort made
to force the surrender of tne negroes
Citizens and members of the police
force joined witn the guardsmen in
the work.
Negroes captured during the night
were declared by the authorities to
have been active combatants. The;
' were held under close guard at the
police station. Today decision to
round up all fugitives and non-combatants
was made. When convention
hall was filled. Mc.N'ulty baseball park
was turned into a detention camp. It
was estimated that 2000 refugees and
prisoners, were being held at conven
tion hall and 3600 at the baseball
park. Lanes of armed men and
guardsmen patrolled the negroes.
Firemen Are Hclplesa.
Twenty-four negro riot prisoners
were in jail. R. C. Adler, fire chief.
declared if was impossible for his men
to get their equipment into the negro
quarter to fight the flames, asserting
"it would mean a fireman's life to
turn a stream of water on ono of those
negro buildings, alleged to have been
et on fire by bands of armed white
men. For a time white residence sec
tions were endangered.
Under orders of General Barrett, all
citizens are being searched tor arms.
A check of the morgues tonight
showed eight known white dead. They
were:
Walter Daggs. local manager of the
Pierce Oil corporation.
