BEGIN DEEP PROBE INTD TULSA ROTS Grand Jury May Hear 200 Witnesses—Conduct of Of- ) ficials Under Fire. By the Associated Press. TULSA, Okla., June 9.—Twelve men tentatively accepted as jurors were in the box today and it was expected to complete selection of a special grand Jury to investigate the race riot here last week at the morning session, and with S. P. Freeling, state attor- mney general, in charge of the inquiry, to begin calling witnesses this after- noon. The attorney general said that 150 to 200 witnesses would be Mmmoned. He estimated that the inquiry would last a week or more, until he obtained the “exact facts.” The attorney general's court of in- quiry, dealing particularly with the conduct of local officials, was in ses- sion yesterday, but the evidencs brought out was kept secret. negro policemen were among those called before the attorney general. An indication of the turn the grand Jury investigation possibly will take developed the examination of pro- Spective jurymen. The veniremen w asked if they would return accus tions against officials if evidence produced to show that they had been negligent in taking steps to prevent the riot, and they also were question- ed as to whether race prejudice would affect their decision. $15,000 JEWELRY LOST BY BALTIMORE DEALER Bearer of $165,000 Gems Believes He Dropped Package or Pocket Was Picked.

DENBY PRAISES CREW FOR RESCUE IN POTOMAC Gives Personal Commendation for Aid When Launch Burns . Off Mount Vernon. Commendation was personally giv- en yesterday by Secretary of the Navy Denby to Lieut. Beard, mmanging officer of the U. S. S. Eagle 9, hi# of- ficers and men, for- the prompt and efficient manner in which they went to the rescue of sailors who jum overboard from a burning Navy launch Just off the dock at Mount Vernon Tues- afternoon. After praising the work of the of- ficers and men of this vessel, which is manned entirely by members of the naval reserve, he said that he would officially write them “a letter of commendation, which will be made a part of their records. The launch was_attached to the President's yacht, the Mayflower, and had accompanied the U. S. S. Sylph down the river to act as tender in transterring Mrs. Harding and a party of friends- from the latter vessel to dock at Mount Vernon. When the launch was proceeding to the dock to return the party to the Sylph fire broke out, followed by an explosion of the gasoline tank. When the men manning the boat saw they could not get the fire under control they jumped over- board. The Eagle was proceeding to this city, and a signalman on the Sylph's bridge informed them of the need of help in rescuing the party in the water. Lieut. Beard rang up full speed and brought the vessel to the Mount Vernon d and a lifeboat was lowered quickly and proceeded to the scene. The Sylph’s boat also was lowered. Three of the men were picked up by the sailors from the Eagle 9 and the other three of the boat’s crew by the crew of the'Sylph. The launch had. been beached, and burned to the water’s edge. None of the men was injured. POST FOR NICHOLAS OREM Appointed Superintendent of Schools, Prince Georges County. Nicholas Orem.

Union Chiefs Hint at Strikes, When Railroad Wages Are Cut By the Associated Press. 7 CHICAGO, June 9.—Giving warning that thq acceptance of wage reduc- tions was {a the hands of the rank ang file of employes, railroad brother- hood chiefs have disclaimed responsi- bility if the men refused to accept & cut and “a stoppage of trafjc” result- ed. The strike suggestion was made by L. E. Sheppard, head of the con- ductors, and W. G. Lee, president of the trainmen, in opening the “big four” testimony before the Raflroad Labor Board's wage hearing. They were followed by W. S. Car- ter, president of the firemen and en- ginemen, who developed a new field of evidence in behalf of the engine service men. Almost disregarding the cost of living and outside wage arguments used heretofore, Mr. Car- ter presented voluminous data on the hasards of his men's employment, and on what he called their losing fight to maintain an adequate wage standard. The attitude of the railroads in at- tempting to cut wages and the Labor Board's reduction order of June 1 were declared to be the responsible causes it the train and engine service men vote to strike July 1, when they meet here in conference, Mr. Sheppard said. Mr. Carter also made a_ lengthy comparison with wages in the metal and building industries since 1907. These comparisons were challenged by John G. Walber, representing the eastern roads, who sparred with the witness for half an hour over the value of his statistics. The compar- ison, however, Carter said, was not intended s0 much to show actual wage relations as to show that the trades had received much greater increases in pay in. the last fifteen years.
