WOULD INVESTIGATE
CATHOLIC ORDER
The Atlanta City Councils
Springs Sensation
ISSUES CALL
TO NEWSPAPERS
Wants New York and Georgia Papers
to Include knights Of Columbus
Ritual and Oath in Investigation
They Would Make OF Ku KIuX Klan.

Atlanta, Sept. l9.-City council
here late today adopted resolution
requesting that "thc New York World
and other daily papers, especially the
Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-Sun, now
engaged in the investigation and ex-
posure Of what they claim to be un-
patriotic and un-American institu-
tons, include in their investigation
and exposure the secret obligations,
oaths and ritual of the knights of Co
lumbus."
In our opinion there exists an un-
patriotic and un-Amcrican secret or
der with lodges throughout the coun-
try and known as the Knights of Co
lumbus,' the resolutions stated in
their first reference to that order.
The resolution then cited what pur-
ported to be a copy Of an oath pub
lishcd in the Congressional Record in
1919 and which the resolution said,
is reported" to be an oath OF fourth
degree members Of the Knights Of
Columbus, which officials Of the lat
ter have from time to time asserted
was not an oath Or obligation Of their
order. There was no mention in the
resolutions of the Iiu Klux Klan
about which certain newspapers now
are printing articles but in the brief
debate that preceded the vote that
organization was mentioned several
times.
The resolution that was adopted by
a standing vote of II to 8 was intro
duced by Councilman Walter A. Sims,
who later introduced an ordinance to
forbid intcrracial worship in the city
iof Atlanta. He declared he acted on
request Of property owners On North
boulevard who, he said, asserted that
both whites and negroes worshipped
regularly at a Roman Catholic church
in that ncighborhood. The ordinance
was referred to the committee on or
dinances
Action on the request regarding the
knights Of Columbus followed an ef-
fort by Councilman Hoffman to have
it tabled. Eve are simply lowering
ourselves by getting into squabble
of this kind" he asserted. II be-
long to neither order involved in
this thing and certainly have never
heard Of such oath as that which has
just been read"

table was lost by a viva vocc vote and

AT TEMPTED ASSAULT
NEAR PRINCETON
Negro is Caught and Spir-
tied Away
ATTACK OCCURRED
MONDAY AFTERNOON

"Tab' Shumate, Alleged 20 have At
tempted ~ Criminal Assault Upon
White Woman in Grcenyiile C0un-
ty Near Princeton, Carried TO
Grcenyillc.
Summary and immediate vengeance
upon a negro, Arthur Shumatc, alias
TAB Shumate, for an attempted as
sault upon white woman several
miles across the Greenville county
line from Princeton, was probably
prevented shortly after midnight Mon
day night when Shumate was taken
in charge by Sheriff Rector of Green
vile county and spirited away to
Grecnville before large crowd Of
men, gathered on the scene, was aware
that the negro had been caught.
According to details Of the crime as
told by parties who returned from
the scene last night, Shumate hid
himself in an outhouse near where his
victim was picking cotton and where
nc knew she would go to empty her
cotton sack after she had filled it.
'iiSii o'iS NlltCiCu lIlp mousse he is al
leged to have made a furious attack
upon her, but she succeeded in making
her escape but not before he had
struck her in the head with some in
strumcnt. She screamed and the ne
gro rushed out and made away, stop
plng in house not far distant. Here
he bawicaded himself until white
ncighbors, who had heard the wo-
mans outcry, came to her assistance.
discovering the negroes whereabouts,
SIX men are said to have forcibly en-
tered the house, finding the negro
crouched under a bed. They dragged
him out, but in a scuffle which en-
sued he succeeded in freeing himself
and dashed out Of the door. Several
OF the men shot at him with shot-guns,
but he succeeded in getting away
from them.
Word Of the crime soon spread about
and officers from Grcenvillc and Lau-
rcns were notified. They, with a large
number OF men, began a search for
the negro which lasted until after
midnight, blood-hounds being brought
to the scene by Sheriff Rector to aid
In the hunt. The dogs proved of little
value, however, except later to be
used as foil to distract the atten-
tion OF the crowd after word had been
received as to where the negro could
be found.
Some time after midnight Sheriff
Rector was guardedly advised that the
NAgro could be found In buggy go
a ii. the direction Of Princeton.
Ia ;ading the crowd to believe that he
was going Nto place the dogs on a
fresh trail, the sheriff dashed down
the Princeton read and coming upon
the negro as he expected, took him in
his car. Instead of turning back to-
ward Greenvillc he continued toward
Princeton and got into another road
leading to Grecnyille, cluding the
crowd and landing his prisoner in
Grccnvillc Shumate was bleeding
profuscly. it Is stated, from the effects
Of gun-shot wounds received when he
made his escape from the six men in
the cabin.
Failed to Identify
According to press dispatches last
night, the Grecnvillc county woman
on whom Shumate is alleged to have
made the attempted assault, failed to
make a positive or negative identifica-
tion Of Shumate when she faced him
at the Jail in Grecnville.
