mated at 1,200 Tons With Fruit In Excellent
Condition: Price for Early Berries Below
Normal Flood Season Mark
The strawberry crops of Marion and Polk counties bid fair
to approximate 1200 tons this season. Indications are that
the yield will not only be larger than that of last year, but
that it will be of much better quality. Yet, for various rea
sons the growers have no market for their fruit.

Tulsa Quiet Today
With Race Feeling
Gone; Probe Begun
Force of Guardsmen Reduced; Whites Caught
Looting Flame Swept Negro Section Arrest
ed; Governor Orders Grand Jury Investiga

misa, uKia., June z. 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

others wore white ribbon badges

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.

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

manner to thin the ranks to where

the German Inhabitants. Reports
state the German in the fighting

There have been many German

Poles Aid French
The situation at Beuthen is com

insurgent forces around Le city.
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. The tanks
charged on the buildings firing
volleys through the doors and windows.

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.

The mass meeting of veterans

the Loan and Bonus question. It
is of interest to the serious mind

to determine how many desired

Then a vote was taken to deter
mine how many expected and
were planning to take the loan.
Every man present save one rose
to his feet. This lone veteran
declared he did not stand In need
of asslslancy and was not going
to take either option, but stated
he believed in the loan feature

according to the best Information
obtained at the mass meeting last
night. Reports were received
from members who travel conti

significant fact was strongly em
phasised by the several speakers
who urged their comrades to get
every possible voter to the polls
Tuesday next.
These same traveling men, many
of them employees of the state,
reported the Soldier Aid Measure
as being morally certain of car

ranging from 3 to 1 to 4 to 1.
Throughout Oregon the feeling
prevails, according to these men,
that Marlon county is the only

Walla Walla, Wash., June 2.
Smitten conscience following long
solitary confinement at the state
penitentiary resulted Wednesday

then murdering one of his con
federates and burying the body In
a gulch two miles west of Oalvln,
Lewis county, Washington, accord
ing to Information given out at
the state penitentiary here today.
McCoy, according to penitentiary
custom is subject to six months
"in Siberia" following his return
to the penitentiary. He wag ar
rested at Aberdeen following the
attempted bombing of the Amer
ican Legion building last winter
and was recognised as an escaped

and that with a third man,, whose
name he refuses at this time to
divulge, he and West on the night
of January 22 last burglarised the
office of the Eastern Railways and
Lumber company at Centralia.
They found some Liberty bonds la
the safe and following the crime
walked the railroad track to and
through Galvin. Following the
murder, McCoy says In his state
ment, he and the unnamed man
carried the body back into the
underbrush and they covered It
with six or eight Inches of dirt
and leaf mould. The two revol
vers weer buried with the body.
When they reached this point
they decided to divide the loot
and It was during a quarrel over
the number of bonds taken that
the crime was committed. McCoy
says West reached for his gun
first, and that he tired, shooting
the man over the left eye. But
one shot was tired and West was
Instantly killed.
Warden W. O. Potts said in
making the affidavit public that
the Centralia authorities would bo
advised of tbe contents of McCoy's
statement, and would be asked to
attempt to find tbe body of West.
"If they sould fail," he continued,
"a court order will be obtained
and McCoy will be asked to lead
the authorities to the shallow
grave in the gulch."
