Gen. Charles F. Barrett here in command of seven companies of national guardhtnen, Tulsa is comparatively c-uioL after a night antl part of a day of race rioting. Official figures on the niimbeP of dead arc not obtainable because of the chaos antl disorder that have accompanied the riots antl the lack of time by relief workers lo keep an accurate count of casualties. They are unofficially placed at 100 -00 negroes and 10 whites.

"We have the situation well under control," Adjutant General I tarred statetl at o'clock.
