Burlington, March ll.-Mrs. Anna
Mohr, well known criminal who oper-
ated considerably in Iowa, and was
wanted, from time to time, in half
dozen cities OF the state, Is dead. This
word was received by the police de-
partment Saturday night in the form
Of a clipping from western paper. II
is thought that Mrs. Mohr Is really
dead this time, but 1t has been so re-
ported on previous occasions.
With every appearance in her favor,
woman about 90 years old, Mrs.
Mohr was a smooth proposition in the
minds OF the police authorities turnout
the state. She seemed just an aged
woman, was unsupported and talked
gently. She appeared generally TO
have a little money, but rarely flash
ed" any Of 1t.
Her favorite victims were ministers
and mayors. Just why she took de-
light in mulcting them, rather than
anyone, else, being unknown. but she
generally got away with it.
Lived in Burlington.
Mrs. Mohr was well known in police
circles here, and her photograph
adorns the wall at the station at the
present time along with others APP
pearing in the rogues gallery. She
lived in Burlington about three years
ago and while the people Of Burl!ng-
ton were unsuspicious OF her, she
failed in her attempt to CLEAN" money
from several citizens, altho an at
tempt was made TO do SO, on one &C.
casion she attempted TO buy local
hotel. paying some money down on it
and then attempting 10 borrow con-
siderable money from the owner. This
failed. Later she made the first pay
ment on two houses on West hill, and
tried the same stunt but without re-
ward.
A String Of Escapes.
While she was residing here word
came from Muscatine that she was
wanted there on the charge OF
sw!ndling a minister out of his money.
She was placed under arrest, and en-
route to the station here suffered 2
She attempted to escape, but was I'M
successful, and then was taken to

up-river town, and, fe!gning illness,
she made her escape.

SOUTHERN PROPAGANDA

Recently the following open letter was
issued by James Weldon johnson bearing
upon the race riots in Washington City and
Chicago. which is SO full Of meat for
thought that the same is herewith repro
duced:
There has been for a number of years
wel-directed propaganda. issuing prln-
cipally from the South. which has had as
it's purpose placing the brand Of rapist on
the Negro race. This propaganda has been
partly successful in establishing in the
public mind the idea that there is the
direct relation of cause and effect between
rape and mob violence against the Negro.
Whenever the Negro protests against
lynching nearly all southern newspapers
and a great many northern newspapers call
upon him to deprecate the crime which
leads to lynching. The authentic statistics
Of lynching prove the falSehoOd on which
this propa ganda is based
In the twenty years down to 1903 there
were 1888 Negroes lynched in the Southern
states OF that number rape was assigned
as the cause in only 675 cases. In 1910
cases other causes were assigned. In the
past thirty years fifty Negro women have
been lynched. In the past twelve months
five Negro women have geen lynched. In
the fiveyear period, 1G14-1919. 264 Negroes
were lynched in the United States. exclusive
of those killed at East ST. Louis. and Of
this number rape was ass gned as the cause
in only % cases.
Contrast these records. bad as they may
appear with the records for New York
county, which is only a part of New York
city. and we find that in this one county.
in the single year of 1917. go persons were
indicted for rape by the grand jury. OF
this number 81 were indicted for rape in
the first degree. That is. in just part OF
New York city. the number of persons in
dicted for rape in the first degree was nine
more than the total number of Negroes
lynched on the charge Of rape in the entire
United States during the period 1914-19lS.
Among these 81 persons indicted by the
New York country grand jury there was
not single Negro. The evidence required
by the grand jury Of New York county to
indict person charged with rape must be
more conclusive than the evidence required
bv mob to lynch Negro accused Of rape.
When the congressional committee on i'm
migration in 1911 made its study Of crime
in the United States an investigation was
made of 1852 eases in the New York Court
of General Sessions. and in that investiga-
ton it was found that the percentage for
the crime of rape was lower for the Negro
than for either the foreign born native
born whites. The actual figures were for
foreign-born whites. Is: for native-born
white. 8. and for Negroes, 3.
