JOINT RESOLUTION
ON DISARMAMENT
' 15 AGREED UPON
WASHINGTON, June 5.—A joint
resolution “concurring in the de
clared purpose of the president of
the United States to call an inter
national conference to limit Arma
ments” was agreed upon today by
Republican members of the house
foreign affairs committee, as a sub
stitute for the Borah amendment to
the naval appropriation bill.
The text was drafted by Chairman
Porter after a conference with Presi
dent Harding at the White House
last night and is believed to have
met with his approval. It will be
introduced Monday, and while its
passage may be somewhat delayed
'it is intended to convey to house
conferees on the naval bill the at
titude of the house on the whole
question of disarmament.
Assistant of the Navy
Roosevelt, who discussed the pro l
posal with Chairman Porter yester
day, met with Republican commit
teemen and talked over the mode of
procedure.
In the dozens or more disarmament
resolutions introduced heretofore in
the house, the phraseology was
quite different from that finally
agreed upon by the foreign affairs
committee. Some of them "directed,'
“requested." or "urged’’ the esident
to call a conference of the nations,
others “expressing the hope” that
he would do so. In the final form,
z b**4v«r. the president would ac
tually be placed at- the head of the
movement, -With congress expressing
its full concurrence” in his' declara
tion, as set forth in an address to
congress “that we are ready to co
operate with other nations to ap
proximate disarmament, but merest
prudence forbids that we disarm
alone.”
The resolution follows:
“Resolved by the senate and house
of Representatives of the United
States of America* in congress as-
that the congress hereby
expresses its full concurrence in the
declaration of the president in his
address to congress on April 12, 1921.
that “we are ready to co-operate
.with other nations to approximate
disarmament, but merest prudence
forbids that we disarm alone,” and
further fully concurs in his declared
purpose and intention to call an in
ternational conference to consider
the limitation of armaments with a
view to lessen materially the bur
den of expenditures and the menace
of war; and that for the expenses
preliminary to and in connection
with the holding of such Conference
the sum of SIOO,OOI, to be expend
ed under the direction of the presi
dent, is hereby appropriated.”
Representative Mondell, o,f Wy
oming, the Republican leader, said
today that with the various views
on the subject it had been thought
best to have the foreign affairs com
mittee, in touch with the situation
abroad and with the administration,
outline what it construed to be the
wisest policy at the moment., While
the resolution itself will not t?e
them judicial notice “as to the
binding on the conferees, Mr. Mon
dell said, it would serve to “give
feeling and attitude of the house.
The naval bill, as returned from
the senate, will be called upon Mon
day under a rule which will give it
privileged status and immediate con
sideration. Mr. Mondell said the
conferees to be named by Speaker
Gillett would not be instructed on
the Borah amendment, but that the
resolution, while still leaving ’ them
free to act as they saw fit, could
hardly be ignored, considering the
agencies concerned in its .prepara
tion. ,
Although the resolution made no
reference to land or sea armaments,
Mr. Porter said both were included
under the broad ana general terms

Shows Silk Can Be
Produced in South
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 4. —That
the culture of silk worms can be
made profitable in Alabama and
other southern states has been dem
onstrated here by L. C. Casola, an
Italian, who has been a citizen of
this country only a few years.
Mr. Casola says that from April.
153 v, to June 1 of the present year
he has sold over $1,500 worth of silk
from cocoons whjch he raised. He
took to the chamber of commerce
here a number of fine silk cocoons
which he raised. He says that he
sold the silk from these cocoons as
from sl4 to S2O per pound.
Mr. Casla is arising the silk
worms in the back yard of his home
in a very limited way. He says that
he has proven that silk can be pro
duced in the south on a large scale,
and at a price which will pay well.

PAPER HATS ARE UNPOPULAR
BECAUSE THEY ARE CHEAP
BY JESSIE HENDERSON
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.1
NEW YORK, June 4.—ls for noth
ing else, this week would shirie as
that of the paper hat. Paper suits,
introduced a year ago, failed to make
a hit because the youth of the town
couldn’t tear around in them without
embarrassment to beth wearer and
beholder. Whether the paper hat,
designed for women, will be a suc
cess remains to be seen. But at any
rate it is here right on the avenue;
a gray creation, glazed, resembling
coarse straw, and guaranteed against
melting In a shower.
There is just one flaw. The paper
bonnet has been heralded, like the
paper suit, with the announcement
that it was cheap enough to be
thrown away in a week and replaced
by a new one. But this inexpensive
ness is a fault which the milliners
will doubtless remedy.
Other feminine headgear has had
its meed of Came. Seven unusual
women were given college mortar
boards at Columbia. Mme. Curie —
who has cancelled her far western
trip and sails soon for France be
cause she has been half killed by
kindness —received the degree of doc
tor of science. The degree of doctor
of medicine was conferred on ’women
for the first time in Columbia’s his
tory, and right away six women got
it.
It isn’t only in medicine, however,
that women show a manly interest.
In the anti-prohibitionist’s “Fourth
of July parade,” whose volunteers
are counted now by the tens of thou
sands, women begin to figure. Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith Is eighty-seven
years old, and she intends to ride
near the head of the anti-Volstead
protest in a rickshaw drawn by six
girla- .
The names of the six will-probab
ly be Mamie Taylor, Creme Yvette,
Orange Blossom, Jack Rose, Merry
Widow, and Zaza. Another parader
is to be Josephine Madden, who has
charge of settlement work in the
Fifth assembly district. With Miss
Madden the mothers’ clubs of the dis
trict have announced their intention
of marching. Where, oh, where is
the old-fashioned mother, supposed
ly dedicated to the bone dry cause?
One answer to the query is that
she is down cellar looking after the
dandelion winA
In the interirm. the Zisegfeld roof
closed “for the duration of the
drought” to the strains of Auld Lang
Syne and muffled sobs from the
tired business man. Churchill's dis
plays a “closed” sign on its door.
And Main street has zero on Broad
way for dust and quietude. About
the only place you can get a drink
is in the police station where con
fiscated hooch is stored.
Meanwhile, to prove that votes
can interest women as much as hats
or home brew, the Democratic
'league of New York had a red hot
session a,t its 'annual meeting. The
women were still aroused over the
fact that ttyeir head, Mrs. John
Sherwin Crosby, .went over t<r the
Republicans in the Harding cam
paign. Some four hundred and nine
ty-five of the five hundred members
stayed away from the meeting as a
mark of disapproval, but the five
who attended managed to keep one
another fro mdrowsing through a
long and heated afternoon. At the
end of the battle, Mrs. Crosby, still
president, announced herself as an
"independent Democrat” with the
privilege of voting ps she pleased.
All of which shows how unfounded
was the old-fashioned he-argument
that women even if they had the
vote would lack the vigor sometimes
necessary to defend It.
The fluctuations of the Stillman
case, together with various other un
usual .domestic infelicites lately
come to light, leads to the inference
that those in the spirit world, had.
as the crude saying goes, the right
dope when they catted with Arthur.
Edward Stilwell. It seems that Mr.
Stillwell, builder of five western
railroads and a canal, had been upon
intimate terms with ghosts for sev
eral years. Recently a number of
them sat on the edge of his bed
and told him so many things about
everything that he wrote it all down
in a book, “Live and Grow Young,”
just published here.
The chapter on “how to be, un
happy though married” is the one
which a number of prominent New
York couples have evidently been
reading. Among rules for a thor
oughly wretched marital career.
Stilwell gives these to husband: Be

KLLLDT SENTENCED
TO If 15TB
GRIFFIN, Ga., June 4.—Jack L.
Kelloy, convicted slayer of Leroy
Trexler, Atlanta taxicab driver, was
resentenced by Judge' W. H. Searcy
today to be hanged s July 15.
After his conviction in superior
court here six months ago, Kelloy
carried the fight for his flife to the
state supreme court. The verdict of
the jury was affirmed and a new trial
denied him.
When Judge Searcy asked the pris
oner if he wanted to make a state
ment, he shook his head. He showed
no signs of emotion.
In a brief statement to the court,
I. Leonard Crawford, attorney for
the doomed man, indicated further
steps to save Kelloy’s life might be
made. .
“Just at this time we have nothing
to say—there may be something
later,” he told the court.
The crime for which Kelloy must
pay/) with his life occurred in the
early fall of 1920. The state charged
that Kelloy ordered a taxicab, and
that young Trexler was assigned t»j
take him on the trip. Kelloy stated
he wanted to go to Savannah, but a
few miles from Griffin he directed
Trexler to turn in a side road, ac
cording to the evidence adduced by
the state. The next day, Trexler’s
body was discovered.

CARSWELL RETIRES
FROM RACE FOR
SPEAKERDF HOUSE
George H. Carswell, of WilkinSon
county, announced in Atlanta Satur
day night his retirement from the
race for speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, thereby leaving the
contest Jo Cecil Neill, of Muscogee;
Howard Ennis, of Baldwin, and Har
per Hamilton, of Floyd.
• Mr. Carswell issued .a statement
declaring the problems of the state
government are of such magnitude
and fraught with such difficulties
of solution that he considered It the
duty of patriotic Georgians to pull
together instead of creating dissen
sions.
No indication was given in his
statement as to which if either Os
the remaining candidates he favored.
On the contrary, he indicated a neu
tral attitude by asking his friends
to be as loyal to the successful can
didate, whoever he might be, as they
have been to him.
The candidacies of Mr. Carswell
and Mr. Neill for speaker of the
house were launched three or four
years ago. Mr. Ennis came in about
two years ago. Mr. Hamilton is a
recent entry. The continuance of Mr.
Carswell in the race might have pro
duced a deadlocked house, with the
vote so divided that no candidate
could muster the required'majority.
This situation would have necessi
tated trades and concessions by the
candidates, declared Mr. Carswell in
his statement, and he was not willing
to make them or make is necessary
for his opponents to make them.
Although Governor-elect Hardwick
has maintained a neutral attitude in
the speakership face up to date, the
retirement of Mr. Carswell, it was
believed in political circles, would
place Mr. Ennis in the position of
being the administration candidate.
Many of the friends of Mr. Cars
well have preferred for him to stay
on the" floor, where he is very effec
tive in debate, and have so expressed
themselves to him. Their prefer
ence, however, has not prevented
them from supporting him for speak
as as long as he was a candidate.
The text of his statement was as
follows:
“I will not be a candidate for
speaker of the next house of repre
sentatives. 1
“With three or more candidates in
the race, the successful candidate
would be forced to make trades and
agreements with interests that have
not the welfare of the state at heart.
I do not care to do this and I am
sure none of my opponents do.
"We have too many factions and
isms in the state now, and it really
behooves every man in the state who
has the interest of Georgia at heart
to pull together for the betterment
of our people.
“Fanning the flame of hate and
passion gets us nowhere, except
deeper into the mire. It is going to
take an honest effort on the part of
the incoming administration to savs
the institutions of Georgia from go
ing backward. Retrenchment must
be made, and with the public schools,
pensions and the charitable institu
tions already receiving practically all
the revenue of the state, and with
taxes already too heavy to be met,
it will be no easy task, even with a
unjted front, and it will be an im
possibility with our people divided.
“In the ir.teres' of the people ot
Georgia, especially in behalf of the
children of this state, who must >-e
educated if everything else fails, t
have withdrawn from the race for
speaker. , , .
“I thank my friends who have been
so loyal iXid true to me, and will join
them in being equally as loyal to the
successful man. whoever he may be,
in an honest effort to our
peopl e.” .
New Warfare Gas
Described by Officer;
3 Drops Cause Death
CHESTER, Pa., June 4.—A 'tjew
warfare gas, three drops of which
will kill, within thirty seconds, the
person whose skin it touches, was
described here today by Captain L.
D. Hutson, U. S. A., speaking before
students of the Pennsylvania Mili
tary college. Captain Hutson came
here to perfect plaTis for a night gas
attack to be staged in connection
with the college’s centennial com
mencement exercises on June 13.
Describing the gas as the latest
discovery of the expert chemists en
gaged in the research laboratories of
the first gas regiment, chemical war
fare service, at .Edgewood, Md., Caj>
tain Hutson said the United States
had made tremendous progress in
warfare gases since the close of the
world war, and now undoubtedly
leads the world.
“Imagine what will happen to a
city,” he said, “when air squadrons
begin spraying with that terrible
substance. In the next war, machine
guns and artillery will> be out of
date —the weapons will be gas and
chemicals and the humblest non
.combatant will be exposed to attack.
Entire populations wjjl take the
chance of never awakening when
they go to bed at night. _ It wjH truly
be ar war of extermination.
“Another new invention is the
toxic smoke candle, which when
burned setsnoose clouds of dust par
ticles, temporarily incapacitating
those who breathe the dust. The in
fantry will be equipped with these
candles and they will be used in
the advance to smother the personnel
of machine gun nests, and the enemy
huddled in trenches and dugouts.”
Crowd Unknowingly
Sees Youth Fall To
. Death From Airplane
DOTHAN, Ala., June 5. —Roy-
Scott, nineteen, of Headland, Ala.,
was instantly killed Saturday at 7
p. m. when he fell 2,000 feet from
the airplane of Max Fortners, lo
cal aviator, two and a half miles
from Dothan.
Young Scott came to Dothan today
in company with Irvin Cutchins, also
of Headland, who was to make a
parachute jump, but declined to go
up. at the last moment. S'cott agreed
to make the leap.
After circling the city and reach
ing an altitude of about 2,000 feet,
according to eye witnesses, apparent
ly small object was seen to fall
from the plane, but no one thought
it was the body of the boy.
According to Fortner, he did not
see Scott after he climbed out of
his seat and swung under the plane.
A few seconds later, however, he no
ticed the parachute hanging under
neath and flying in thp wind. Be
coming alarmed, he began circling
downward, flying back to the land
ing field, where crowds present sig
naled him to land, when it was
found that the rope which had sup
ported Scott from the parachute had
been cut.
A searching party later found the
body, the head and shoulders buried
in the ground. Several persons in
the neighborhood state that they
heard the body strike the ground, but
did not know what it was. It is
supposed that Scott cut the rope
which attached the parachute to his
body, thinking he was severing the
one which released it from the plane.

SA YS TULSA WILL REDEEM
HER NAME BEFORE WORLD
BY RICHARD LLOYD JONES, >
Editor of The Tulsa Tribune
(Leased Wire Servide to The Journal.)
| (Copyright, 1921.)
TULSA, Okla., June 4.—Tulsa is
the capital of- an El Dorado. It.
boasts of its wealth. But Tulsa is
better than a of millionaires;
it is a city of generally distributed
wealth, and has the highest per
capita wealth of any city in the
world. Tulsa is young. When this
territory came into statehood four
teen years ago Tulsa was a village.
Today it is fen ambitious little me
tropolis of 100,000 people.
While this is a rich agricultural
country it is the mineral wealth that
has given this city its remarkable
growth and advanced it at least fifty
years ahead •of its normal growth.
Men have come to Tulsa to make
money. Tulsa today is just emerg
ing from her argonaut era. Tljis
means that the average Tulsan has'
been too blisy with his own private
affairs to invest his conscience in
his citizenship, the result being that
law enforcement has been lax. here
for years, gambling and bootlegging
and “hi-jacking,” as the westerner
calls some bandit practices, have
gone on little molested. This has
developed a lawless element.
While Tulsa is a western city in
spirit, in energy and enterprise about
40 per cent of its population comes
from states classed as southern and
such part of the lawless element as
has that background, has racial
prejudi-"- well intrenched.
Disrespect Developed.
Lack of law enforcement has like
wise permitted a bad negro element
to deve. \ a disresect for both coun
ty r and city officials and a lack of
ferfir <>i <,uicers of the law. •
Only recently a group of public
spirited citizens protested against
the traditional conditions and the
office of the attorney general of the
state, has been making searching in
vestigations into the lack of ef
ficiency of the city and county of
fleers.
'ijie mayor of Tulsa, who is a nice
and perfectly honest gentleman, or
dered an investigation. The city ad
ministration investigated itself and
\found itself practically spotless.
About one-seventh of the popula
tion of the city is negro. Most of
these live in a section in the north
east part of the city, which is called
“Nigger Town.” In that section
there have been of iniq
uity. There most of the criminals
of the community, both white and
black, found harbor. There this, riot
began.'
In its inception it was the old
story. . A negro put hands upon a
white girl. The girl screams. The
negro was caught and put in jail.
The word wgis passed among the ele
ment that nas not been taught to re
spect the law that ‘here was to be
a "necktie party” that nisht. That
element of whites began to collect
around the county court house and
jail. It was largely a curious, good
natured crowd. Then a small band
of armed negroes came by auto to
the scene. The police commissioner
asked them to go home.
The police as a military body was
conspicuous by its absence. This
same police commissioner has since
guilelessly confessed ‘ that he knew
that for some time past the bad
negroes had been collecting arms
and ammunition and that some time
ago he went over and talked with
of their leaders and told them
that they would be held responsible
if anything happened. But appar
ently no arrests were made.
Background of Difficulty
This is the kind of background out
of which the riot came.
The whites who gathered around
the court house Tuesday night went
away to get arms when they found
the. negroes arriving with arms. The
negroe* went away for more men and
more guns. Arid before midnight
the war of races was on ip the
streets of Tulsa and-was carried into
“Nigger Town.” where it raged un
til well into the afternoon the next
day.
The lawless whites went into
“Nigger Town” to Hear out certain
places where the tough element con
gregated. This lawless element
fought back the-'' fire department.
Then it started to loot the negro
huts and houses, and fires were
started to cover the looting. By
Wednesday night “Nigger Town”
was a vast acreage of ashes and the
stale militia held the city under
martial law.
Frankly, it was a war of races.
Racial prejudices, are as old as his
tory. They are not confined to
southern cities. Chicago and Omaha
have ha’d |heir disgraceful stories
The police of Boston failed
city and the lawless wild in
the game of loot. That which hap
pened in Tulsa might happen any
where where racial prejudice break
out and where the police force
through accumulative years, is eithe
corrupt or incompetent and unabb
to cope with the crime conditions.
But with that splendid spirit
which is characteristic of the aggres
sively progressive Tulsan, Tulsa
lifts her head from its hour of shame
with a firm resolve to clean house
and to have a police force that can
police the city. Tulsa has resolved
that the crime carnival ends here
and will be buried with the ashes of
the “Nigger Town” that is gone.
What is more: the public-spirited,
prideful citizens of Tulsa have met
in conference to resolve and lay
their plans to rebuild and restore i
that which the .lawless here destroy
ed and to build a cleaner, a better
and more sanitary section of the
Thirty Men Arrested

In Tulsa Race Clash
TULSA/ Okla,, June 4.—Thirty
