Mrs. Tatum, who is about forty-fivc years
of age, tainted under the pain of the
flogging. She was carried away uncon-
scious and dumped close to her home,
where she was found by an aunt who lives
with her and her daughter.
The whipping committee then made the
news of the punishment" public in about
the same fashion in which the Oklahoma
authorities were informed of Miss RAM
sey's whereabouts the morning after her
beating and Imprisonment in the chicken
coop.
A telephone call was received by one
of the. Fort Worth newspapers, asking
that reporters be sent to a certain house.
There note was found that read:
"A committee of women administered
one hundred lashes to a Mrs. Tatum who
lives at Block No. on the Dallas Pike
on the night of September r."
Later an unidentified young man came
to the newspaper office, told of the al
legged mistreatment by Mrs. Tatum of her
daughter, gave the reporters directions
how to reach her house and disappeared.
Before the beating of Mrs. Tatum she
had received no threats. But she was
the second woman to be flogged by band
of women in that section within the last
three weeks On the night of August
II Miss Holie Hinkel, an attractive
worker in Fort Worth garment shop,
was lured away from her home, taken
to deserted point near the city, stripped
of all her clothes and numerically beaten.
Whether the women who tormented
Opal Ramsey and whipped Mrs. Tatum
were actually members of a womens
auxiliary to the Klan cannot, of course,
be positively said. But any. doubt that
a women's auxiliary to the Ku Klux has
actually been formed has been put to rest
by H. w. Evans, Imperial Kligraph of the
Klan. Mr. Evans lives in Georgia and his
titlc-Kl. ph-mC"~ -""'?'''v.
The Washington times., 1922-10-08

Mr. Evans is quoted as saying that
Mrs. Elizabeth Tylcr-whoSc name was
prominently mentioned as high in the
councils of the Ku Klux during a recent
investigation of their activitics-had
played an important part in the organiza-
tion of the women of the Invisible Eye"
Several womcn's 'auxiliarics' have
been formed in Texas and Oklahoma re-
Gently" said Mr.. Evans, "and Mrs. Tyler
has handled a mass of correspondence be-
tween them and the State organizations
of the Klan. These womcns organiza-
tions were founded along principles iden-
teal with those of the Klan, but none of
the organizations has been officially
recognized by our Empire yet. The I'M
perial Kloncilium, when it meets in At
lanta in November, will take steps to re-
ceive the women fraternities into the Klan
as auxiliaries."
Both Evans and F. L. Savage, the
Klan's chief of staff, admitted that or
ganizations of women in sympathy with
the aims and methods of the Klan have
corresponded with Imperial Headquarters
for several months. But each declared
that these women would have no official
connection with the Klan until the Klon-
cilium of the Klan meets. Asked what
part WITS yIcl udu Ill forming the or
ganizations, Mr.. Evans said:
"She has been interested for many
months in getting the women together,
She thought that the Southwest would be
best to start in and thought it best to
speak to the other women later"
People throughout the country are cer-
tain to watch the activities of any wo-
mems auxiliary of the Klan with more
interest than they do that of the original
male contingent, particularly If those WHO
tormeNted Miss Ramsey belong to such an
auxiliary, and if her experience is a re.
shadowing of what is going TO occur or.
ever the klanswomen become active.

the Invisible Eye" Yet the fact that
they used the flaming cross, which is the
symbol of the Ku Klux Klan and also ap-
pears to be the symbol of the new or
panization, and the similarity Of methods
in another case which followed the Ram
soy affair and in which the new organiza-
tion actually advertised its connection,
makes the Oklahoma police think that the
masked women of Red Rock did belong to
a chapter of the Klan's auxiliary.
The case that brought the feminine adj
;,nct Of the Klan to the notice of the
nnhIic occurred near Fort Worth, Texas.
Mrs. |. c. Tatum, a respectable and
worthy woman living near Fort Worth,
roceived one day an invitation similar to
tbot sent to Miss Ramsey, asking her to
,,,oot some members of a new organiza-
tion of women. Mrs. Tatum went to the
Amounted place and was there met by
fprr masked women in an automobile.
They told her that they would take her
to her daughter.
Mrs Tatum's daughter is fourteen years
old and her only child. In considerable
agitation the mother got into the automo-
bile and was driven some six miles from
hnr home to a lonely place along the
Dallas Pike.
There the four women in the automobile
were ioined by half dozen other masked
women. who accused Mrs. Tatum of ruin
inc her daughter" When the mother
demonstrated and asked for an explana-
tion, her captors told her that she had
"not been bringing up the child in the
right way" They also said that they
had come from Dallas, Texas, from where
they had been summoned ITO teach her
a lesson"
They thrust Mrs. Tstum against tree,
stripped her :" the wa'1t and gave her
one hundred lashCs across the back with
STR, ulon the ends o. which were
fastened thongs tipped with buckshot.

suited in the arrests of Mrs. Dunivan and
Mrs. Weinstein. Just before the warrant
was issued both of the women accused by
Miss Ramsey went to Kansas City, several
hundred miles away. Both said they were
going merely on visit. A representative
of the county attorneys Office of Red
Rock went after them, and with the CO.
operation of the Kansas City police they
were found, arrested and taken back to
Red Rock, arraigned on charges of as
sault and released on bail. The whole
countryside plans to attend their trial
this Fall when Miss Ramsey will tell on
the stand what happened to her on that
night of terror.
Both women deny that they had any
thing to do with the affair.
The case in which the women of the
Invisible Eye" first came into the open
occurred at Fort Worth, Texas, some days
after the outrage on Opal Ramsey.

Some held the clothes under the

"They came back. Then they
emptied the clothes right into the

from house, in that dark wood,

OBVIOUS AID TO
GROWERS

BY ]. C. BOYLE.

Copyright, 1924 by The August
| New York, Nov. l6.-The grape
industry of the country has grown
enormously since the advent OF
prohibition. Figures just COM
piled IN the vineyard districts OF
the coAntry by state officials and
individual statisticians show that
demand, especially in eastern cen
tiers, has grown steadily. The wine
industry of California is dying out,
according to California agriculture
officials, but the value Of the grape
yield has risen from 100000 to
ST, 100000 in that, state. About
5000 cars were shipped east this
year.
Similar conditions prevailed in
parts of New York state and other
grape sections. Sales totaling over
million pounds of fresh grapes a
day were common this season in
Philadelphia. Foreign born resi-
dents of the east in many instances
made a practice of clubbing to-
gether and buying grapes in car
load lots.
Apple growers, however, are in
sore straits in some sections.
Growers are unable to secure ade-
quate value for even the best Offer
ings because off the tremendous
production which has swamped the
market in spite ST restricted ship
ping facilities. Prices at many
consuming centers are lower than
growers are asking at producing
stations. Prices are the lowest in
many years in the Pacific north
west.
