FROM WHENCE THEY'LL
COME; WhERE'lL THEY
GO NOBODY WILL KNOW

That the great secret Ku klux Klan
will give demonstration in Daytona
tonight is persistent rumor that has
been ON the streets today and while
nobody seems to know anything par
ticular about the matter, the fact that
great demonstrations were held at
Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando and
other cities in Florida Saturday night
lends color to the report that repe-
tition OF the event may take place in
Daytona.
According to the rumor and borne
out by the activities of the Klan in
other places, an advance guard of two
members on horseback. accompanied
by herald, all dressed in the regu-
lation regalia OF their rank and with
horses disguised. will precede the
main body of men BY about half an
hour 1t lis. generally customary for
the advance guard to announce that
demonstration is about to take place
within the next 30 minutes by picked
band of determined men and that no
interference will be tolerated, and
that all persons who desire to move
their automobiles must do so before
the parade passes and that during the
parade no one will be allowed to cross
the street or interfere in any way
with the silent procession.
Following the custom elsewhere the
officers of the clansmen will be
mounted and the members afoot and
every clansman dressed in the regu-
lation costume of the order. In ad-
dition to the members in the parade
many members of the klan. it is said.
will station themselves in such po-
sition to see that the parade is in no
way interfered with by certain per
sons who believe in negro equality
and the negro in political matters.
/ 1t will be useless to try to ascer-
Z tain the identity OF the members or
/ from whence they come or where
they'll go. as precautions have already
1 been taken. il Is said, to see that no
one discovers the meeting place Of

lowers are pledged to fight TO the

The rumor OF the parade has been
heard in various quarters today but
40 confirmation of it has been OBJ
tanned. although It is generally known
that conditions IN Daytona are about
as bad as any place in Florida and
there is evidently much work IN hand
for the Ku kiux Klan, which order
seems TO have been reofganized oi

RUM0RED flaming CROSS
OF kU KLUx kLAN TO LEAD
PARADE HERE TONIGHT

sive, on horseback to warn the crowds
of the klan's approach.
A two-note blast on a cowhorn
trumpet was the signal. The eerie
tone reminded patriarchs OF the days
that were. when the South struggled
against the forces of intrigue and
oppression, when white clad figures
Jared abroad by night to right wrongs,
to preserve traditions.
About half an hour before the start
of the demonstration, two couriers,
mounted and masked, rode through
the streets advising the public what
to expect--and advising against in
reference with the movement of the
line. These couriers also heralded
their approach by blasts on trumpet.
Thousands congregated Whispers
ran through the crowds of Saturday
night shoppers: THE Ku Klux are
coming,"
The sidewalks We're lined. The
crowd overfiowed into the streets,
packed the thoroughfares to the car
tracks until on Main and Forsyth
streets traffic was almost entirely ex-
cluded.

Six men are being held at the city jail without bond. They have been ar rested on the long charge" 523-C, which can cover anything from petit larceny to murder
 There is a rumor spreading over the city that seventy-five automobiles Foru cars have been stolen recently, and by an organized band of crooks, said to be. the biggest automobile theft syndicate ever unearthed by the police of Birmlng- him.
 Though no specific charge has been en- tered against the six white men held m the city jail. it was stated last nignt that they are there in connection with "certain automobile thefts.
 The deepest secrecy that enNeloped the arrest of the six men leads to the beiief that huge dragnet is being thrown over the city by the local police. private de- teotiye agencies. who are being assisted by local civic organizations, and partic- ularly the Automobile Club of Birming- ham.
 Whether this coterie arrested last night are the entire band or just beginning of the biggest wholesale arrests yet made in connection with automobile thefts. re- mains to be seen.
 Automobile thefts in this city have reached a stage where the police have decided stringent action must be taken at once. and that every effort must be put toward the rounding up of this class of criminals
 Each night there are added reports of cars that have been stolen. Some are
