Wonder at Results
That the visit of Doctor Dubois,
editor of a magazine for negroes,
"The Crisis," to Tulsi some time ago
may havo had a bearing upon thn
trouble of the past week was inti
mated by lllshop Kd D. Mou.on In
his sermon last night at the Itoston
Avenue Methodist church upon the
subject. "The Tulsa Itace Iliot and
the Teachings of Jesus Chrli.. " The
magazine published by Dubois wan
termed by tho lllshop "dangerous."
and Dubois himself characterized as
tho most vicious negro man In the
country.
"I knew at the (lmc that Dubois
was heM," declared the lllshop.
"and 1 very' keenly regTct now, In
view of the events of the p'ist week,
that I did not take advantage of that
knowledge, and Inquire Into the pur
pose of his visit."
It wa.s reported to him. stated the
nishop, that on the night . f the riot

"Where, asked the speaker, "did

but serious harm, and smiil pre",

Hut If it is true that the i ttv and I

stop that which threatened, if It is

our wives, oir children and tho peo

being at the mercy of armed ne

with it did tho onlv thing that a de

is true that somebodv hliinden ii
Civilization broke down in Tulsa. I
do not attempt to place the blame,
the mob spirit broke and hell was let

were on a footing with what the

"I repeat. ' said the bishop, who
was freqtientlv intert iipted b spon

make no attempt to pla.e the blame
for the ellsgraceful happenings of
that night. It Is easy to tiy, "the
