south side "black belt" following tha
reported burning of aa American flag
by a band of negroes who were aald
to have paraded In the Interests of a
"back-to-Africa" movement
The troubla occurred at Thirty fifth
atreet and Indiana avenue, near the
scene of laat year'a race riots, la which
more than SO whites and black were
killed and hundreds Injured. .
The burning of the flag waa reported
to have taken place when the parade
of blacks disbanded preparatory to en
tering a hall, where a meeting bad
been called by aa organization which
waa reported to advocate the mov
ment of negroes back to Africa.
A bonfire waa started la the middle
of the atreet Then some one tossed
an American flag In tha fire. A throng
of negroes and whltea gathered. A
party of j settles pushed its way to tha
fire,. Indignant at the burning of tha
flag. They tried to recover the flag.
James B. Owens, a negro policeman,
ran in brandishing hia revolver. There
waa a volley of shots. A Jackie fell
dead, and policeman Owena waa
atretched on the atreet with a bullet
through hla abdomen. Tha crowd! raa

all successful candidates of the re
publican and democratic parties at the -recent
primary election were mailed
Saturday by Sam Koser, secretary of
state. In case where a candidate of
one party was defeated, but received
the nomination ot another party, ha
will not receive a certificate. Befuaal ,
by the secretary ot state to laaue these
certlflcatea la authorised under a law a
passed at the 1919 aesslon of the leg
lalature and which became effective
for the first time at the recent pri
mary contest
The so-called core prom lae regarding
the framing of the Roosevelt bird ref
uge measure, to be submitted to the
votera ot Oregon at the November
election, la very unaatisfactory, ac
cording to Percy Cupper, state engi
neer. Tha original bill he aaya, caused
a storm of protest and a conference
waa called ln Portland tor the purpose
of reaching some agreement among tha ,.
persona Interested ln the bird refuge
and the Irrigations adjacent to Mal
heur lake. Nothing waa accomplished
at this conference, according to Mr.
Cupper, and the measure aa revamped
la not satisfactory. Mr. Cupper con
tends that Oregon owna too much land '
at the present time and that the estab
lishment of more reserve will have
a tendency to Increase taxes without
gaining for the taxpayera correspond
lag benefits.
