Adjutant General Barrett, com manding the state militia forces in Tulsa county under the martial law proclamation, announced this morning that 250 of the 450 guardsmen here will be sent home this afternoon. Tulsa, Okla., June 2.-Thirteen white men were arrested by national guardsmen in the negro quarter today and sent to the city jail for investigation. It was said all men had in their possession property which apparently had been taken from houses which the flames did not reach but from which the negro occupants fled in fear. Many such houses were entered, according to guardsmen. Tulsa, Ogla., June 2. Outward-1 morning. Some wore white hand kerchiefs around their arms while others wore white ribbon badges inscribed "police protection." ly, Tulsa resumed its normal at mosphere today except for the presence, under a martial law pro clamation, of approximately 500 Oklahoma national guardsmen sent here, yesterday after many hours of rioting between negroes and white men, including a night of incendiarism In which virtually the entire negro quarter was des troyed with a loss of about $1, 500,000. As the situation rapidly quieted down the estimates of dead dwin dled. Nine dead white men had been identified today and fifteen negroes were accounted for. The list of known wounded increased, however, and the total was unof fical estimated at about 240. Governor Demands Probe Basis for estimates that still ranged as high as forty negroes dead was the possibility of an un known number of bodies having been destroyed when the torch was applied to the negro section. Casual search of the quarter failed to disclose additional bodies or bones today. Negroes began to return to their places of employment this M. C. Erectors.

He said he intended to insist on a rigid jury Investigation of the clash. Rincleaders Soug-ht The plight of more than 5000 negroes under joint guard and protection at the fair grounds was regarded as serious today. Many of them lost their entire possession when fire swept their district. It is understood an effort is being made to sift from the negroes at the fair grounds those who parti cipated in the initial clash at the county building Tuesday night, when white men bent on taking from the jail, Dick Rowland, 19 year old bootblack, alleged to have attacked a white girl, met armed negroes whose intention was to prevent Rowland from being lynched. As rapidly as a negro at the fair grounds is sponsored by his or her employer a "police protec tion" tag is issued, and the prison er released. It is hoped in . that manner to thin the ranks to where the five negro officers of Tulsa county can Identify negro partici pants in the riot. Business Resumed Stores were permitted to open at 8 a. m. after business had been suspended last night and citizens kept off the streets. The military officials began a check of the unofficial lists of dead and wounded. Bodies of eight white men and fifteen ne groes lay in morgues. Some of the 35 injured remaining in hos pitals were not expected to recover The loss from Tire in the negro quarter and the damage in adja cent territory was estimated by real estate men at about $1,5000,-000.

Reports state the German in the fighting numbered 3,000. The French charged with tanks and are satd to have gained the upper hand There have been many German casualties.

The Poles began a fight with Ger mans in the outskirts of the town Sunday and when the French were attacked, the Poles rushel to their assistance. The attack by the German on the French Is said to have been well planned. Telegraph and tele phone wires between the French headquarters and the barracks were cut, sentries were driven back and the headquarters detach ment was surrounded. Tanks were rushed to the scene and the Germans, who were armed with pistols, attempted to capture the machines, but were repulsed and were driven into adjacent build ings, from the windows of which hot fire was opened.

Convict Confesses Killing And Burying Pal Following Safe Robbery at Centralia Realty Men Unanimous For Listing Plan Farmers Say Elk Destroy Their Crops Complaints have been recefved by the state game commission from the farmers of .the Ablqua Basin, who claim that the herd of elk placed there some time ago is destroying crops and damaging property. If damages are not re ceived they threaten to shoot the animals. The herd was placed there In February, 1920, by W. A. Taylor, numbering at the time 16. The local Elks lodge intends to inves tigate the claims of the Abiqua people, in an endeavor to save the animals If possible. It is well known that cattle roam more or less unguarded in the section, and local sportsmen expect to find that the damage to fruit trees and 'grain that is reported Is at least partly due to the stock that is running loose in that section.
