KLU KLUX KLAN
GETTING BUSY IN
north CAROLINA
Day The Associated Nearo Press,

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Greensboro, N. Car, Feb. 3.-The
Ku Klux Klan made it's first appear
ance in Durham when notice was sent
the Lincoln cafe, operated by Greeks
for Negroes, advising them to take
heed to this warning and beware" :"
The warning stated that white and
black men were meeting loose Negro
women at the cafe for the purpose of
taking automobile rides and declaring
that fraternizing between low"
whites and Negro women and traffic
between between Negro men and
women must cease.
The letter of warning sent the Lin
coin cafe, copy of which was sup
piled the press through the mail, fol-
lows:
"To the Proprietor Lincoln Cafe,
Mangum Street, Durham, N. Car.
Dear Sir-There are forces for
good and evil in Durham-you are a
force for evil
BE advised that Anglo-Saxons
founded this country-wrote the dec
laration of independence and consti-
tuition of the United States, and then
invited people of all nations to come
in and enjoy life, liberty and the pur
suit of haDpinesS However these
founders expected that all people
would become Americans and respect
our constitution, laws and customs.
"It is not our custom to mix up with
the Negroes on social equality. You
are fraternizing with the Negroes and
allowing a low element of whites to
meet Nigger women in your place,
and they are known to go out in auto
mobiles together. The best white and
black people in Durham resent this,
and it must stop.
I'VE are. a friend of the good
Negroes as well as whites, hut the
bootleggers. and the lawless element
of both had better watch their step.
"You and your friends, therefore,
take heed to this warning and be-
ware!
Yours for law, order and deceneS
in Durham and the nation.

RACE PREJUDICE
VERY PRONOUNCED
IN CALIFORNIA
(sy The Associated Negro Press.)

(5y The Associated Negro Press.)
Palo Alto, Calf, Feb. Southern
ers who have migrated to California
have brought their racial prejudices
with them, and the effect is being
felt strongly here. Colored citizens
of this city are much concerned be-
cause the Palo Alto chamber of COM
merce directors recently advocated a
segregated district for thte Oriental
and Colored people of the city.
The colored people have drawn up
a set of resolutions which have been
presented to the chamber of COM
merce and which say among other
things: Agitation for such an or
dinance will create race prejudice
and cause race friction, and engender
strife and discord where before was
peace and harmony. We are amazed
that any intelligent citizen would
lend himself or herself to the advo-
cacy of such an ordinance in the face
of the decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the case of
Buchanan VS.. Warley.'
In discussing the situation, Henry
Dodson, president of the Colored Citi-
zens' club, stated that out Of so or
more colored people in this city, not
one of them has been idle; in fact
every man and woman of them is a
worker. He further announces that
10 of their number possess property
here aggregatfhg 100000 in value,
and he points to the fact that none
of this property is mortgaged. He
said that one of their number is a
local bank director.
Dodson thinks that the Colored peo-
pie here have been farsighted in their
dealings with the white people in
avoiding race animosity. He cites an
instance where the Colored people
had chance to buy religious meet
ing house which was valued at $1,000
but could be bought for the sum of
$4,000. Dodson states that because
the church building was in a white
neighborhood, their society would not
consider buying the place even at the
reduced figure Dodson believes that
his people are willing at all times to
avoid any race friction, but insists
that by creating a segregation district
for the colored residents, bad feeling
is bound to exist between the blacks
and whites.

MISSOURI ROBBERS

and STAGE HOLD-UP
Especial to The Tribune)

st. Louis, Mo, Feb. ga new
wrinkle in criminology was uncovered
Saturday night, January s, when two
supposed Brown Skin Negroes held
up the Almack dance hall at Pine and
Jefferson avenue. According to the
police report the men went to the
hall, which is en- the second floor. and
ordered everyone to hold up their
hands. One man gathered about S45
while the other held the gun
Joe Davis, the proprietor. states
that the men came up the slairs like
any other Negroes who were going to
the hall, that the first one drew a
gun and told him to hold up his hands,
while the other grabbed about $66. the
nights receipts, and escaped. When
the man with the gun started down
the stairs. Davis says he reached for
his gun and began shooting. The first
shot hit the robber in the shoulder,
who yelled, 20, Lord Don't kill me-"
Davis says he kept on shooting and
out of five shots he hit the man three
times. The police report mentions
only two, the other being wound on
the right ear and the side of the head.
The wounded robber ran on Jefferson
and west on Lawton, pursued by
Davis and Policemen Bauer and Dun
don, to Beaumont, where he was cap
tured.
So deceptive was his makeup that
the policemen sent him to Hospital
No. 2, for coiored, where Dr. Winson.
on examination, found that the rob.
ber's brown skin" was only a creased
paint of the kind used by theatrical
performers and its wearer was a white
man. He gave his name as Frank
Weber of 1902 Stoddard street.

deep breath of free air. Freedom, ah,
the magical power of the word In
this state, freedom has a real mean

come as all other citizens, you have
an opportunity to fill any position for
which you are fitted by training, ex-
perience and character

the right to full enjoyment of the
privileges of citizenship in Arizona.

fact l defy them to state single
instance where colored man in Ari
zona has. been held back, simply on
account of his race or color. State
an instance if they dare, and I'll prove
by a statement of facts that it was the

SEEKS HOME rule
SAY LATE REPORTS
(By The Associated Negro Press.)

(5y The Associated Negro Press.)
London, England. Feb. 3-British
West Africa is the latest country to
seek home rule. A mission has ar
rived to urge number of reforms in
the administration of the four West
African colonies apd prolectorates,
Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, Nigeria
and the Gambia. says the London
Times.
The mission seeks the creation of 4
legislative council which will be COM
posed of members chosen half by the
crown and half elected by the people
and for a house of assembly which
would have complete control of the
revenue and expenditure The judicial
system. in particular of Nigeria, is
criticized ly the mission, which states
that "it is the practice to appoint
Europeans who have not received any
legal training and who are not COM
petent to exercise judicial functions y
Among other suggested reforms
they seek the establishment of a West
African university; the removal of
the color bar in the medical service
and the introduction of immigration
laws to prevent the influx of undesir-
able aliens.

MEMBERS OF MOB
CANNOT BE found
tRy The Associated NEGRO Press.l

(By The Associated Negro Press.)
Warrenton, N. c., Feb. 3.-All eff
forts to apprehend members of the
mob which broke into the Jail, re-
moved two Negroes held there after
an armed clash with whites over 10c
worth of apples, and shot them to
death, were set aside today in the
anxiety of authorities to forestall a
recurrence of violence. The murder
ers. therefore, will never be brought
to justice.
Seven of the nine Negroes left in
the Jail by the mob were today hur-
ried to Raleigh for safe keeping, and
this afternoon five additional arrests
were made and the prisoners also
rushed to Raleigh. Four other Ne
groes for whom warrants are out
have escaped.
The Warrenton Home Guard, or
dered out by Governor Morrison last
night, was under arms all day, and
the Henderson Home Guard also
stood in readiness to respond to any
call. However, tonight no further
outbreak was regarded as probable.
The coroner's jury held an inquest
and quickly returned verdict of
death at the hands of unknown per-
sons" All the witnesses testified
to their inability to identify any mem
bers of the mob.

APPEAL TO PASSION
WAS Detrimental
TO POLITICIAN
Special to The Tribunel

Chicago, H., Feb. 3.-The Farmer
Labor party, new party, has three
members in the Legislature of the
state of Washington. One of these is
j. H. Ryan, colored man who was
elected from the 9Sth district; Ryan's
opponent was white woman, who
waged a bitter campaign against him
because of color. She, went up and
down the district telling the voters
that no self-respecting white person
would vote for a Negro in preference
to a white woman. This evidently
proved distasteful to the voters for
Ryan won by large majority.
The returns, as taken from the Of
fetal records show that the colored
people did not elect Ryan as there
were only about 100 in his district,
and most of them voted for the re
publican party.
Ryan is a newspaper man, who has
taken a keen interest in the legisla-
tive affairs of the state, having at
tended every session of the legislature
for several years.
One of the leading agencies in the
election of Ryan was The New Ma
jority, the most influential and widely
