President Harding is expected

tions to aid the States in building

employment.
Recommendations that both these
steps be taken were made by the
Presidents unemployment confer
ence. Road building funds were
formally urged.
Opposed by Labor.
A resolution favoring passage OF
the funding bill was prepared and
ready for submission. but was
withdrawn when serious opposition

The revenue bill, another impor

Federal Grand Jury
Instructed to Investi-
gate MASKED Order
Laws Against Conspiracy Invoked
To Curb Self-Appointed Censors

new YORK. Sept l3-Judge Will
liam B. Sheppard of Florida, sitting
in Federal district court today, told
the eFderal grand jury it had the
power and authority to investigate
secret societies 'hY.ich are reported
to be interfering with the constitional
rights of citizens"
"Any organization he said. which
holds its meetings by the light of
bonfire in secret places and the men,
bers of which wear white suits and
masks, which attempt to prevent or
derby citizens from the enjoyment of
their constitutional rights, freedom of
speech, conscience and right of trial
by jury is proper subject for in
vestigatlon by a grand jury. That is
because such behavior on the part of
secret society is conspiracy and
the law can be brought to bear upon
them"
Continuing his charge, Judge Shop
pard said, in part:
There is law here that can be
brought to bear upon any group of
people or secret organization which
administers justice in the woods.
Il is not within the province of
secret societies to say who is or is
not a desirable citizen. When they
by demonstration of power. seek
to prevent others from the enjoy
ment OF their constitutional rights,
they are amendable to prosecution in
the Federal courts through present
nent or indictment by the grand
Jury.
Judge Sheppard remarked that &C
cording to newspaper reports, there
Is a certain organization now in ex-
lstencc, the members of which are
undertaking to censor the conduct Of
their fellow citizens.

Women Take A Stand
For Law And Order
State Committe On Ynter-R Racial Co
Operation Organized

ATLANTA, Sept, IA score OF
Georgia women, comprising some of
the best known public leaders in the
State, have accepted appointment on
the State committee on inter-racial
cooperation, and have just organized
themselves as special body with
Mrs. A R Lawton Of Savannah, as
chairman, and Mrs. w A Turner OF
Newman as secretary.
In set of resolutions embodying
the sentiments and aims of the or
ganization, they call upon all loyal
citizens of the state to stand for law
and order, for the protection of the
womanhood of the state of whatever
coor, through lawful processes. and
for single standard of morality both
for men and women, white and col
ored.
After making special appeal to
the law abiding people of the state
to uphold the officers of the law in
the pursuit of their duty in putting
an end to crime and injustice they
appeal to all good citizens to recog-
nize the forces which are undermin-
ing our life, and to speedily Danish
self constituted groups and agencies
which presume to usurp authority.

constitute themselves the prosecutors,

would protect womanhood of their
own race the committee takes excep-
ton to the mode of protection as it
is sometimes practiced declaring that
it is equally criminal to outrage wo-

manhood or to practice mob violence
or to take human life unlawfully,
We believe, says the resolutions,
that no falser appeal can be made to
Southern manhood than that mob vi
olence is necessary for the protection
of womanhood, or that the brutal
practice of lynching and burning hui
man being is an expression of chiv-
airy. We believe that these methods
are mo protection to ANYTHING or
anybody but that thejeopardize every
right and every security that we po-
sess."
Referring to the double standard OF
moral that the public passively per-
mits, they affirm that this is rapidly
imperilling the future of our national
life, and they appeal for the creation
of a public sentiment that will nc
longer submit to this condition. but
will declare for the protection of wo-
manhood of every race ard color.
The committee formed sub-commit-
tees for the investigation and study Of
cor ditions and needs of egro schools

Included in the membership of the
worlen's section of the committee as

the measure can be successfully at

it is not beyond the bounds of reason

At the regular meeting of the

A request was made from the

building but it was found that there
were no funds available, either in
