All over the region notices have been posted at night warning negroes they must go or be killed.
 k Similar notices have been post cd on the houses of white em- ployers of negroes, informing them that if they do not assist in getting rid of the negroes they also will be made to suffer. So many negroes have fled that the wives and daughters of prominent planters are forced to cook, wash clothes and do other manual la

ONLY THE RICH NEED ID APPLY

Los Angeles, Jan. i.--With the idea of founding an exclusive millionaire colony, syndicate of New Workers, including Andrew Carnegie, Henry C. Prick, F.. H.. Gary, president of the Steel Trust: Charles M. Schwab, and other equally well known men, has offered $l8,OO0,O0O for G. OOO-acrc tract adjoining this city. All that remains is an agreement on the terms for the siXty-day option requested by the syndi- cate to enable a final inspection and report to be made by rngi- neerS.
 Almost all the land lies at an | altitude of from 100 to 650 feet which gives a wonderful view of l the city and surrounding hills, and in the distance the ocean. The members of the syndicate have been frequent visitors to Los Angeles. and their plans for the exclusive park will oulstrip Tuxedo and other millionaire communities. It is intended to limit the membership to fifty families. Fine houses will be built on large plots in accord ance with general landscape plan. Golf links, polo grounds, and other forms of outdoor amusements are included in the plans.
