TO OIL LAND GREED
Refugees in Now York Say
Clash Was to Wrest Hold
ings From Negrooa
TOTAL DEAD DROPS TO 30
New Yorh. June .1. The Tuln race
riots, in which, according to latest re
ports, thirty persons lost their lives,
were engineered by a group of white oil
men determined upon wresting from the
Negroes valuable holdings, according to
stories told yesterday by fiye refugees
In this city.
Although they were not eye-witnesses
to the scene of rioting they
left Tulsa three week3 ago they told
stories which purport to explain for
the. first time the background of the
outbreaks.
First signs of the storm, their stories
have it, came with printed announce
ments in the newspapers warning
Negroes to leave the State by June 1.
These announcements appeared on first
pages for three successive days, nnd the
five were among thousands who left
panic-stricken immediately afterward.
No Explanation Glvm
No explanation for the warning was
given, the five said, although they ap
pear certain of the motive. Their
stories agree upon detail, nnd are sub
stantially this:
Most of the Oklahoma land was
owned originnily by Indians nnd half
breeds. White men and Negroes from
nil parts of the South came to Okla
homa and bought the lands. During
the last decade in the Tulsa region
white men sought to bur up nil land
held by Negroes. In Tulsa, up to the
time of the riots, approximately ."00
Negroes held oil lands.
With the boom in oil competition be
tween Negroes nnd whites grew bitter.
White men from all parts of the country
invaded the section nnd were met by
Negroes, who obstinately refused to
sell the land at any price.
In retaliation, the white men refused
to employ Negro Inbor. and persecuted
the wealthier Negroes. Finally the
printed ultimatums came. The refugees
insist the riots were carefully staged,
since they coincided in time with the
announcements.
Tulsa. Okla.. Juno 3 --According I
to the latest authentic report, nine I
"wnltes nnd twenty -one negroes are
known to have been killed during the
nice clash. An estimate places prop
erty damage at i?l ,."00.000. The ap
proximate number of wounded was
placed at 240.
Representative citizens of Tulsa met
yesterday and condemned the city and
county officials, holding them responsible
for the disastrous outbreak.
A committee, on whicli Mnvor T. U.
v;vnns was denied n place, has beeu ap
pointed to care for the helpless Negroes,
estimated to number more than .1000.
"Most of the damage was done hy
white criminals who should have been
shot and killed." E. J. Martin, for
merly Mayor, said after he wn se
lected chnlrninn of the Emercencv Com-
mittce.

President's Intervention Appar
ently Necessary to Break
House-Senate Deadlock
CABINET MEMBERS DIVIDED
By CLINTON . GILBKHT
Stuff Cerrrseandent Erentnc I'ublle Idirfr
Cervrlphl. 1911, bv Publlf Z.eilotr Co.
Washington, .Tune .1, The deadlock
between the House nnd the Senate on
tho army and navy appropriation bills,
particularly the navy bill, cannot be
broken unless the President personally
Intervenes or unless the Senate yields
to tho House, which Is for smaller ap
propriation. Tho members of the House
face the necessity of going before their
constituents next year for re-election
nnd they are afraid of the Issue unless
they take some effective steps for dis
armament and for the reduction of ex
penditures. They feel so strongly the political
dangers of the Senate military nnd
naval appropriations that It Is doubted
whethrr even a request from the Presi
dent for an army and navy of the size
asked for by the War nnd Navy De
partments and generally granted by the
Senate will be enough to induce them to
grant the larger appropriations. Presi
dent Harding has not yet taken sides in
the controversy.
Cabinet Divided
There nre Indications that the Cabinet
is divided, the Secretnry of the Treas
ury being supposed to be against the
larger appropriations. Secretary Wca'cs
is apparently for economy and has re
sisted the pressure of the professional
army men to which Secretary Baker
yielded In swelling the size of the .army.
He asks only for 20,000 more men than
the House granted in Its bill, at an in
creased cost to the public of only $15.
000,000. The House fixed tho army at
IfiO.OOO men. Mr. Weeks asks for and
the Senate crnnted 170.000 men. He
stands n better chnnco of success than j
does Secretary Donby. who is requesting
almost .$100,000,000 more than the'
House was willing to give him.
The House allowed ?o00,000.000 nnd,
a personnel of 100.000 in the Navy plus '
20,000 in the Marine Corps. The Sen-1
ate being urged by the Navy Depart
ment increased the allowance to the
xsavy to siji-i.utHJ.UUO. providing for a
personnel of 120,000 in the Navy and
27.000 in tho Murine Corps. Tho ad
dition of nearly $100,000,000 in tho
Senate appropriations covers other
items than the increase of personnel.
The House adhered strictly to the
101(5 program, rcfusiug all additions to I
it. The Senate added to the building
progrnm two new aircraft carriers to
cost $r2,000.000, appropriating $15.-
000,000 for their construction. Tho
Senate also authorized new shore sta
tions on the Pacific Coast and in Guam,
npropriatlng $15,000,000 to start their
construction, but committing tho coun
try to a total cost of hundreds of rail
lions of dollars for additional naval fa
cilities.
The Administration Is committed to i
various policies, somewhat inconsistent
with each other which makes it difficult I
for President Harding to take a stand
for cither the House or the Sennte bill.
In the first place, it is pledged to econ- i
omy and the reduction of tnxation. If j
savings of any size are to be made they
must be made in appropriations fori
armament. The total amount involved
in this controversy is $11.1,000.000. too!
great n sum to bo lightly considered nt
n time when economies arc both neces
sary and difficult.
Committed to Disarmament i
Moreover tho Administration is com
mitted to disarmament and the Senate I
bill provides for n Navy with what is
said to be a larger personnel than any
other In tho world. Tt opens the way
to additional construction nnd provides
for greatly .strengthening our naval
nower in the Pacific.
Members of Congress report that the
sentiment of the country is intensely 1
strong for disarmament. They hoar'
almost as much from their constituents
in favor of disarmament as they did n
car ago against compulsory military
training. This is especially true of the I
Middle West, which is as much inclined
to pacifism ns it was before the war.
Whole delegations in the House from i
agricultural States say thnt they can
never vote for the increases in military
and naval appropriations carried in the
Senate bill. !
The disarmament advocates urge that I
to provide for increases in the 10101
nuilding progrnm nnd to becin thei
building of naval bases in tl.e Pacific is
the worst possible way to approach the i
world with suggestions of nn agreement
to dlsnrm. Those signs of naval de
velopment on our part, thev say. wl''
operate as a challenge to other tun

powers, notably Japan, to increase their
naval programs. ,
On the other hand, the Administra
tion has virtually mado up its mind to
base our main war fleet In the Pacific,
Instead of in the Atlantic, as hitherto.
To do this will require the development
of shore stations In the Pacific, on the
wct coast of the United States nnd on
the Island of Ounm, as provided In the
Nnvv Bill, and the argument for new
airship carriers is upon as solid a basis
ns the argument for Pacific statlops. If
the fleet Is to be useful, ft must have
stations nnd airship carriers.
U seems almost certain that Presi
dent Harding, however much he wants
to reduce the costs of government and
to promote tho cause of disarmament,
must at least -support the Senate ap
propriation for Pnclfic Coast stations
and perhaps for the new nlrcraft car
riers. He may reach n compromise by
ncceptlng the personnel of both army
nnd navy as fixed by thft House and
bv nsklng for the appropriations for
Pacific naval bases allowed by the Sen
ate. An agreement on these lines may re
sult. But the. Administration Is ap
proaching the 1st of July, when the
present fiscal year ends. Even if the
House nnd Senate conferees should
finally agree upon a bill with the House
limits of personnel anu tne Donate ap
propriations for additional Pacific sta
tions, there is no certainty that the
conference report can bo gotten through
the Senate in time to provide for the
new year. The disarmament feeling
in the Senate is extremely strong nrid
well organized.

BROOME FOR STATE
L
Head of Phlla. System Not
Impressed With Idea of
Full Powers to City
DISCUSS CIVIL SERVICE
A difference of opinion between
Superintendent of Schools Broome nnd
Dr. I.uther II. Oullck, of New York,
developed nt today's meeting of the
Governmental Itescareh Conference tit
the City Club over tho control of
Boards of Education.
In his report for the Committee on
Organization of Boards of Education,
Dr. Oullck said the Board of Educa
tion should be a part of a unified city
administration, that It should be a city
department, to make for economy and
efficiency.
Dr. Broome heard this recommenda
tion and then took issue with Dr.
Gullck. ,. r
The Philadelphia educator said Dr.
Gullck's plan might tcrve well in some
cities, but that it would not do In
others, ns, for cxnmplo, Philadelphia.
Favors State Control
i He said the tendency, which Is grow
ing, is toward the proposition that edu
cation, as to support and control,
should b under the State Government,
rnthcr than the city. '
He quoted Dr. Thomas E. Fincgan.
State Superintendent of Schools, as
saying he was working for an arrange
ment that would make education n fifty
fifty proposition between the State and
city, both as to support and control'.
At present. Dr. Broome said, Penn
sylvania gives the city 7 per cent of
its revenue for educational purposes,
while in New Jersey the Slate gives
from -10 to 50 per cent.
He called attention to the enormous
resources of the State Government for
raising funds for educational purposes,
as compared to those of a city.
Dr. Broome concluded by saying that
while it is still an open question, Phila
dciphia Is 'getting along very well
through Its separation of educational
administration and city government.
In the general discussion on the re
port of the Committee on Civil Service
Commissions, it was the consensus thnt
