GEORGIA. WOMAN HAS
FOUR HUSBANDS and
none ARE DIVORCED
Special to The Tribune

Cleveland O., May 1A-A local
woman has jumped into the limelight
by marrying four men without di-
vorcing either of the hapless hus-
bands.
She is, or was Miss Roberta Lloyd,
formerly of Thomasville, Ca, who
now lives with husband No. / at goth
and Orange avenue
The matrimonial adventures of Miss
Lloyd began when she married Rev.
Cotton in Georgia. She subsequently
went to Alabama and there met and
married Austin Pickett. She soon
left husband No. 2 and came to Cleve-
land, where she met and married
George Elliott. Not satisfied, however,
with her third matrimonial venture,
she soon married Rev. Gaines, pas
tor of A. M. E. Zion church, West
Side. The last wedding occurred on
January 9Th.
Soon husband No. 4 took i'll, and
while he was in the hospital husband
No. /, who had lost track of his
miscreant spouse, suddenly discover
ed that Mrs. Gaines of the West Side
was none other than the missing Mrs.
Cotton.
Help from the police department
was requested and the erstwhile Mrs.
Gaines was hustled to the home of
Rev. Cotton, where she now resides.
Rev. Gaines, the latest husband, in
commenting on the manner in which
he was swept off his feet by the
marrying dame, said:
Il met Miss Lloyd and in three
weeks I had decided to make her my
wife. Friends of hers declare that
when she took my laundry to Rocky
River, she washed my underwear in
water in which she had first placed
pebbles, black pepper and salt. This
was said to have worked a charm
which resulted in capturing me.
Whatever the charm was" con-
tinued Rev. Gaines, that made four
men take Miss Lloyd to the altar is
yet to be determined, but at any rate
the law is going to have it's say" he
concluded.

AN IMPORTANT PART
in THE Bible. AYERS
Especial to The Tribune)


Tampa, Fla, May 12.-Dr. A. P. Hol-
ly, son of the late Bishop Holly, ex-
consul for the Republic of Haiti to

physician of extraordinary medical

Negro Race in the Bible"
The speaker was introduced by Mr..
E. B. Williams, who with character
istic precision, told of the intellectual
heights to which Dr. Holly has at
tained, and of his privileged associa-
ton with the best and proudest blood
of England. A few violin selections
were pleasingly played by DR.. R. H.
Mann, with competent piano accom-
payment by Miss Faith Mcqueen.
The offertory was sung admirably by
Prof. Anthony Major, with piano ac-
compament by his wife. DIR. Holly's
lecture was richly freighted with per-
tinent scriptoral texts, invincible log
ic, and carried irresistible conviction.
Following are few of the facts he
established from scripture: The COM
origin of all races; The prophecy of
David about the future of the Negro
race. That the Negro race gave
a wife to Joseph: Judah gave
a wife to the Hamitic race;
The Negro race educated Moses;
The Negro race gave a wife to Moses;
A Negro, Jethro, gave to the world
the genius of its judicial system; The
Negro race gave queen consort to
King Solomon; The Negro race gave
one of the twelve apostles of our
Lord; A Negro, Simon of Cyrene.
helped to bear the cross of Jesus
Christ; The Negro race has given to
the world theologian who is honor
ed by united Christendom, Saint
Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Africa.

KU KLUX KLANSMEN
Scored BY JUSTICE
HENRY ]. sullivan


CHASING the Ku Klux Klan as now
constituted, as "a menace to our
American constitutional form Of gov
ernment," Justice Henry ]. Sullivan
in reply, made public Tuesday to a
communication received by him and
signed 1.-THE Representative Bodies of
Colored People in Maricopa County"
declared that recent activities of the
Klan, in this county and elsewhere,
"have demonstrated the urgent ne
cessity of disorganizing and suppress
ing this organization"
The letter to Justice Sullivan as
serted that the signers of the com
munication have always stood for the
enforcing of the law and declared
that in view of the fact that certain
organizations have declared in no un-
certain manner their intention to take
the law into their own hands-it has
come to the notice of the citizens of
the county that many public officials
have been and are now connected
with these unlawful organizations"
Belief that now is the right time
for every public official to declare
himself as to his stand concerning
these organizations, was expressed in
the letter, and Justice Sullivan was
asked to define his attitude
In comprehensive statement,
Justice Sullivan declared his opposi-
tion to the Ku Klux Klan. His reply
in part stated:
SuIIiVan's Views
Whenever any citizen or group of
citizens go as far as to pledge their
allegiance to the sovereign of any
body, no matter whether he styles
himself the Grand Goblin or Supreme
Wizard of the Ku Klux or whether
he be the monarch of any foreign
nation or principality, or whenever
they endeavor to establish or institute
customs or methods enforcing the
rules, regulations or mandates of any
organization, country or principality,
in defiance of the constitution of the
state and United States (thus sub
verting the govern ment of the state
and county to which the offender be-
longs) that person, in my opinion, is
guilty of treason.
''The attempts of the Ku Klux Klan
and similar organizations to substi-
tute the will and Judgment of a Wiz
ard, Goblin, a Kleagle or some 9TH
er spurious dictator of laws and NOR
ais, for the law of our county, can
not and will not be tolerated if our
government and its institutions are
to maintain.
"I have no sympathy with any
organization which attempts to usurp
the duties and prerogatives conferred
by the constitution upon the duly
elected officials of our state and its
subdivisions.
''The people of this community
have the right to full protection of
the law, which is guaranteed to them
by the constitution, and to that end,
/ am ready at all times to assist
them"

In giving account of the entertain

fact, Mr. Frank Shirley was not pres
