STRAIGHT U. PROF.
RESIGNS AFTER
CHOKING AFFAIR

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 3i.-A
recent attempt on the part of a white
teacher at Straight University to forci-
bly, ejec4 a girl student from her class
room. and the widespread discussion
caused by the incident has caused the
following statement to be issued by the
university authorities:
STRAIGHT COLLEGE
2420 Canal St.
New Orleans La.
December 20.
In view OF the widespread circulation
OF exaggerated reports growing out of
the unfortunate occurrence in .he class
room between the Professor of Hism1y
and a girl student OF the eighth grade,
1t IS thought wise to have set forth a
concise statement OF facts for the guild
ance of the thinking friends of the
Institution.
The hesitancy on the part of the stu
dent to obey an order to take her seat
led 10 another to leave the room.
Hcsitancy TO leave was met by an attempt
OH the part OF the Professor to eject her
by physical force
As result the class was taken away
from the teacher by the Dean Later,
Of his own yolition, the Professor sent
his resignation to the New York Office.
In the judgment OF representatives of
faculty, Alumni, students and parents.
the element OF race prejudice did not
enter into the incident The student
was not choked as reported.
The life OF the school is quiet and
normal and there is no ground for con
tnued agitation on this unhappy incl
dent.
The successful handling of the delicate
situation created by the above occur
renee, by President Briggs and his asso-
ciates. deserves public commentator.

existing at 185 South Pryor street,
where they were arrested together in
October, 1919, and fined for disorderly
conduct.
He also charges that Clarke has de-
frauded charitable and religious organi-
cations of thousands of dollars, when
conducting money-raising campaigns for
them, and that he continued this prac-
tice in his conduct of Che propaganda
of the Klan. He says that he recon-
mended Clarke to Colonel Simmons,
Imperial Wizard not knowing at that
time of his utter baseness"
Upchurch says that when Colonel
Simmons became aware of the South
Pryor street incident he was greatly
shocked and said Clarke and Mrs. Ty-
Ter must get out at once, and offered
to him (Upchurch) the post held by
Clarke, but that Upchurch was forced
by lack of funds TO refuse it, and the
order was forced for the same reason
TO retain Clarke.

G f Watson Pastor

Sunday was great day at Pilgrim.
The Xmas music under Mr. Jas. A.
Lilliard was an excellent supplement to
the touching and highly inspiring SER
mon by Rev. S. E. ]. Watson. "Where
is he that is called King of the Jews7'
By a reference to the thousands of
questions in the bible, the pastor made
clear the evident purport of these CUES
tons and their applicable answers as
applied to the lives and tenets of true
followers of Christ. The power of his
delivery was felt in the demonstrations
which followed the sermon. The
church was rocked with religious fer
yor. Many accessions were received.
On Friday evening great musical and
banquet is to be given with single

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 23.-The Ku
Klux Klan is practically bankrupt, ac-
cording to an affidavit made public
Thursday by Z. R. Upchurch, one of the
leaders of the Atlanta Klan, who is
fighting to depose Edward Young
Clarke, Imperial Kleagle, and his asso-
ciate in business, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler
The affidavit says that the Khan now
faces payment of large obligations with
depleted treasury; that it does not
hold clear title to any of the real es-
tate it has purchased, and that it has
been trying to sell certificates of IN
debtedness to individual Klansmen in
the hope of obtaining necessary funds to
tide it over the emergency.
Upchurch, who for several years was
associated with Clarke in a business
way, makes unprintable charges concern
ing the past life of Mrs. Tyler and
Clarke, backed up by allegations of i'm
moral conduct between them, giving his
own personal observations of conditions

To Race Issue
Question

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. The
Second Colored World Democracy
congress, which closed a full week OF
preliminary and formal session at the
call OF the National Equal Rights
league, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, president,
in the John Wesley A. NJ. E. Zion
church, 18th and Corcoran streets, if it
accomplished nothing more, has made
a conspicuous public effort to have the
issue of color equality considered by
the World Disarmament conference.
Every day this week, but Friday, one
or more of the Washington dailies have
carried an article about the congress
seeking the privilege of presenting
arguments and facts before the World
Arms parley as to why they should
consider the abolition of color NAL
treatment everywhere in its program
of world peace.
1t is the consensus of opinion here
among the colored people that the
written request handed to the secre-
general of the Arms conference
at its offices in the Navy building on
Monday, the written appeal to the u.
S. delegation of the color issue handed
to the senator at his home on Wednes-
and the final memorial were a credit
to the intellect and craftsmanship of
the race, for excerpts of these came out
in the daily press.
The committee on petition for color
equality, consisting first and last of
VIM. Monroe Trotters of Mass, Rev.
T. J. Moppins, Mo-; F. T. Morris,

the secretary-general of the Dsarma-
ment conference in the Navy building,
an audience before Senator Lodge in
the Foreign Relation Committee room

petition for audience before them in
the interest of hearing before the

Just as conspicuous public work was
carried on with the U. S. government
on the lynching question. Rev. T. ].

sonal agent of the Democracy Con-
