LOAN FIRST WITH VETERANS
: 4 . ; : 1
At the mass meetincr of all pt-
servlce men held last night at the
armory, with the American lesion
acting jointly with the Veterans
of Foreign Wars as hosts, the ex
service men voted unanimously,
save for one man, in favor of the
loan feature of the soldier aid
bill that will be voted on by the
people at the special election on
June 7.
The vote waa first called for all
those to rise who favored and in.
tended to select the cash bonus
feature of the bill. Not a man in
the hall arose. So to make it cer
tain and sure the vote was then
called for all those who intended
to avail themselves of the' loan
feature. Every veteran present
save one came to his feet. The
lone man aaid he did not intend
to take either benefit as he did
not need it.
Thia fact, thus demonstrated,
that the veterans intend to de
velop Oregon as well as benefit
.themselves, is of vital importance
to the Intelligent voter for he In
stantly realizes that the passage
of the soldier aid act will insure a
period of great industrial and
building development Tor the
state at large. It will mean re
claimed farms, it will mean the
wolfing of the housing problem in
this commonwealth, it will raise
to a higher stanrad the citizenship
or Oregon by making the returned
soldier. sedf-supportlng, self-re-

.The plana go on apace for the
Krand finale of soldier loan week

received last night from the Hilt
Fireworks company - of Seattle,
who furnished the fireworks for
the "Battle of the Argonne" pre
sented by the American legion
here last fair tlme, saying they
were sending fcy express sufficient
fireworks for two days with their
compliments, These fireworks
will fit in with 'the committles

THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON
considered by old politicians as
the hardest county in the state
to carry in a matter involving a
financial consideration, has always
been foremost In patriotic fervor
and willingness to carry its fair
share of any meritorious burden,
and this added to the now known
fact that the ex-service man plans
to borrow money by taking the
loan instead of taking the cash
bonus.' and thus do his share to
develop Oregon as well as bene
fit himself makes the predictions
heard on the streets that Marin
county will carry 3 to 1, or better,
a matter of moral certainty.

rapid readjustment of condi
tions." Kvents Come Fast.
Events piled fast on each other.
Dawn brought with it reports of
shooting throughout the negro
section, followed by a mounting
casualty list, burning of the ne
gro quarter, arrival of national
guardsmen and finally martial
law.
Prompt medical attention was
clven wounded at hospitals and
dressing stations. Civic organi
zations and citizens who volun
teered their services cared for the
nero refugees to whom ice water
and sandwiches were served. Spe
cial 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 of
ficials declared the situation in
hand. Later, however, scattered
firing acain was heard.
CoimniMftion Named.
Firing of the negro section
drove residents out by the hun
dreds. They rushed from their
homes through the flames shout
ing "Don't shoot." Placed under
cuard. they were - collected In
hastily improvised detention
camps. By afternoon it was esti
mated 6000 negroes were under
guard. A military commission
was appointed to determine their
status.
Adjutant General C. F. Barrett
of the Oklahoma national guard
was placed in command of the
situation about noon by Governor
Robertson, who telegraphed the
cenerai that he had invoked mar
tial law and was holding him re
sponsible for "maintenance of
order, safety of lives and protec
tion of property."
Cus Is Vague.
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 disposal sta
tioned at strategic points.
The trouble Is supposed to have
originated in connection with the
arrest of Dick Rowland, negro,
who is alleged to have attacked
an orphan girl.
After crowds of negroes had
marched by the county pail last
night, where Rowland was con
fined, 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, the
fighting spread. At one time two
thousand armed white men were
reported to have engaged the ne
groes. Trains Fired On.
Railroad stations were the
scene of several encountrs and a
number of casualties resulted
when trains were fired upon.
Women and children huddled to
gether in the stations, seeking
safety behind marble slabs of
wainscoting.
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 the negroes. Citi
zoQi "and 'members of the police
force joined with the guardsmen
in the work.
Negroes captured during the
night were declared by the author
ities to have been active comba
tants. They were held under
close guard at the police station
Today decision to round up all fu
gitives and non-combatants was
made.
Detention Camp Formed
When Convent'on hall was fill-
cigarette
s
ed. McNulty baseball park was
turned into a detention camp It
was estimated that 2,000 refugees
and prisoners were being held at
Convention hall and 3,600 at the
baseball park. Lanes of armed
men and guardsmen patrolled tha
negroes.
Twenty-four negro riot prison
ers were in jail. Fire Chief B, C.
Adler declared it was impossible
for his men to get . their equijr
ment into the negro quarter to
fight the flames, asserting "it
would mean a fireman's life to
turn a stream of water on one of
those negro buildings," alleged to
have been "t on fire by band ot
armed jfilJite men. For a time
white residence sections were endangered-
Under, orders of General Bar
rett all citizens are being searched
for arms.
Negroes Herded in Park"
About 5,000 negroes were herd
ed tonight in the fair grounds
east of the city under protection
o national guardsmen. They
were gathered there from all parts
of the city where they sought ref
uge. I
Hundreds of homeless negroes
who fled to the country were drift
ing back tonight. They came
afoot and in wagons carrying what
few household possessions they
could escape with.
Crowds Cjf several hundred, re
sembling refugees in the war sone
in France, could be seen trudging
back toward Tulsa.
Food Provided
The negroe- at the fair grounds
were being cared for and fed un
der the direction of a committee
composed of prominent citizens.
The body was also' charged with
investigating the riots and fixing
responsibility. At a meeting to
day several members votced the
criticism of the action of white
men who wilfully destroyed pro
perty owned by negroes and ren
dered thousands homeless.
From shortly before JO o'clock
last night, when the first firing
began near the court house until
late this morning, the city pre
sented a scene of wild disorder.
Hundreds of automobiles bearing
armed white men raced about the
buisiness district.
The heaviest fighting occurred
idnirht and 6 a. m.
when several pitched battles with
I. . . i a -..asm
hundreds on eacn si '
in the negro quarter.
Fight Occur In Church
One of the hottest engagements
occurred in a negro church whers
about 50 negroes had barricaded
themselves.
Several massed attacks were
launched against the church but
each time the attackers had to
fall back under the ffre of the ne
groes. Finally a torch was ap
plied to the church forcing out
the ocenpanta who fixed "
ran. Severa. negroes were killed.
Large white crowds invaded the
negro district shooting- their way
through. Some time after mid
night the negro district was ureu
and at dawn it lay a seething
mass of ruins.
Officials estimate that more
than 25 separate fires were set.
One JCegro Free
Only one negro walks the
streets ot Tulsa tonight unham
pered or without a guard.
He is Barney Cleaver, a negro
deputy sheriff, and well regarded
by both whites and negroes. Not
a rioter has turned a hand against

Tillamook with Its $1000-an-acre
dairy farm, its 900 regis

Jersey Jubilee visitors tonight.
Four of the Tiilamookers. Dr.
J. E. Reedy. F. K. Blackadar. W
D. Pine and N. F. Baker, are in
Salem, arriving Wednesday after
noon to pilot the Marion county
Jersey breeders to the assembly
point, the famous Lynn Jersey
farm at Perrydale, Polk county.
The four men, all of whom are
deeply interested in some branch
of the dairy or breeding business
In Tillamook, are walking encyclo
pedias of The Milky way, which
la the road to and around Tilla
mook. It may interest other Jersev
breeders who have been sand
bagged by the huge milk produc
tion figures ot some other breeds
to know that 65 per cent of all the
more than $2,000,000 worth of
cheese produce annually In Tilla
mook, is made from Jersey milk.
The huge spotted cows that give
enough milk, at every milking to
swim themselves In. haven't ever
made a hit in Tillamook, which is
the dairy center of the whole
world, say the Tiilamookers on
tour. There are 17,000 dairy cat
tle in their country, most of which
are Jerseys, though a good many
eligible to registry are njt regis
tered because, of indifference so
long as they produce the milk.
A number of Marlon county
Jersey breeders will go on the
tour, it is understood. The start
will be made from the Statesman
office on South Commercial street
at 10 o'clock. The tour is for
three days, ending with a great
clambake on the beach near Til

Maarion Jersey Breeder on
Field Staff of Agricul
tural College
Rex Palmer, representing the
field butter testing department of
the agricultural college at Cor
vallis, was a Salem visitor Tues
day. Mr. Palmer is engaged in
breeding Jersey cattle at Marion,
but Is on the college field staff
that carries the experimental work
to the farmers all over the state.
Mr. Palmer says there has meen
some weedlng-out of theb Jersey
herds, so. that the stock now kept
for breeding represents only the
highest standard of individual ex
cellence. He does not have at
hand the figures showing either
the average yield or cream per
centage for a long period of years,
but he is confident that both are
being steadily increased. The
Oregon Jersey cow. luxuriantly
fed and free from the bitter cold
that makes livestock raising more
hazardous in some colder coun
tries, is both larger and stronger
than those of the breed in almost
any other state. There are more
Jersey records in Oregon than in
any other state, and they are Just
now beginning to pyramid them
selves as the tested Oregon strains
are being developed to their best.
Guernsey cattele are having a
great vogue at the present time.
The breeders, being able to sell
almost anything that wears the
Guernsey label or name, have not
picked their stock so carefully as
is being done by the Jersey
breeders. There are a number of
excellent herds In the state.
There are 12 cow-testing asso
ciations in Oregon, and from 8 to
12 testers are kept In the field all
the time. They rotate in their
districts so that the work is al
ways being checked up by a new
man.

Wednesday.
The relief bill was discussed by
Walter Denton, who took up the
loan features and declared that
with the loan money going back
into improvement and business,
it would pay heavy returns to the
state. F. G. Deckebach contrast
ed the Oregon loan bill with the
Washington cash bonus, which has
many objectionable features as
compared with what Oregon will
vote on June 7.

IDE BY WHEAT
Absence of Old Crop and
Decrease, in New Causes
Sharp Advance
CHICAGO, June 1. With next
to no reserve of old wheat left in
the United States visible supply,
wheat tradders , grappled today
with an authoritative showing
that the size of the new winter
crop has shriveled 29,000,000
bushels, perhaps 33,000,000 bush
els, during th lagt month. Largely
as a result, tne price or July wheat
made a skyrocket flight today;
surpassing any previous quotation
for July; this season.
The acme for the day was
reached at $1,371-2, Just nine
cents above yesterday's close. Few
speculators, appeared, to have the
hardihood to take the bear side
and in the absence of such oppo
sition, prices - most of the time
were bouyant despite much profit
taking by longs.
Exporters and millers gave
signs oi concern as to the appar

The crop damage indicated, chief
ly in the southwest, has been due
to a great degree to abnormal
