RESPECT LAW AND ORDER


Shreveport, La, March 3.-Thursday
night fifty mounted men, draped and
masked in black, rode all over the city,
causing a stampede in the negro dis
tricts. They warned the negroes that
they must respect law and order.
Every negro dive, as well as every
negro home, was visited by the mystic
rious hofsemen. Panic-strIcken, blacks
fed In every direction, but no effort
was made to harm them.
When the h0rsemen rode silently
away from the negro district they left
a trail Of closed saloons, locked resi-.
dences and deserted streets. Their
warning was effective, for the present
at least.
