dyer BILL
COMES UP IN
NEXT SESSION

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20
The Dyer Anti Lynching bill will not
be brought to a vote in the present
session of Congress. Senators Over
man of N. c. and Shields of Tenn.
opposed the passing of the bill on the
alleged theory that it is an invasion on
state rights.
Not Constitutional
On other hands and from other sour
ces it is claimed that the bill is un-
constitutional and should be defeated
on that score. A rewriting OF the bill
has been started with the intention
of eliminating the sections which a
majority of the members believe would
be held unconstitutional by the United
States Supreme Court.
Senators Sterling of South Dakota
and Dillingham; of Vermont urged
the committee 10 report the bill in
order to get a test vote in the Sen
ate. They felt the question consti-
tutionality should be left to the SUI
preme Court to decide This posi-
ton did not meet with the full COM

Mob Rule in States

Seek Peace

Ell PASO, Tex, June 20-Dissatis-
fed with conditions in the United
States, an organization of American
Negroes has applied to the Mexican
government for permission to colon
ize extensive tracts of cotton land in
Mexico, according to advices here
from Mexico City.
John Steamer, of Chicago, is now
in the Mexico capital negotiating
with the Obregon government for the
land desired, the advices state.
Steamer is said to represent an
American Negro syndicate with ST.
100000 capital. In interviews with
the Mexican Department of Agricul-
ture, Steamer has set forth the de-
STABILITY from the Mexican point of
view, of colonizing rich cotton lands
OF Mexico with race who by train
ing and natural character are suited
for the production of cotton.
The Mexican government has in
dicated its. unwillingness to have the
colonists locate in one section, it be-
ing contrary to the Mexico policy
to permit the erection of large for
elgn colonies extending over any con-
siderable section. 1t is believed
likely, however, that permission will
be granted to the Negroes to settle
IN coastwise locations in the States of
Sonora, Sinalea. Guerrero and Oxaca,
utilizing such lands as have been COM
pletely abandoned and allowed to re-
turn to the primitive condition.

PROTESTS AGAINST
JEWISH DISSEMINATION

Moor6eld Storey, national President
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, is one
Of a committee of graduates of Har-
ward University, who have written con-
demning the new yim-CroW policy
there and demanding that segregation
be discontinued even though it means
loss of southern white students. A.
Lawrence Lowell, President of Har-
ward, is blamed for the Jim-Crow Pol
icy. The committees letter of protest
says in part:
1--WE believe that the university owes
the Southern man the best possible
opportunity for education, but we do
not owe him the surrender of our
Northern ideas OF democracy and our
Harvard ideals of justice. We do not
believe that the Southerners who come
to Cambridge for their education ex-
pect Harvard to give up her traditions
The founders of the university, the
statement continues, explicitly con-
templates the inclusion of colored l. G.
Indian, students in its classes and
buildings. The charter of 1850, still
in force, refers to that intention The
present policy of exclusion means that
the college is taking sides with those
who would increase rather than lessen
the burdens of the colored race. 1t is

KU KLUX KLAN
High Ruler Denies
Connection with
Might Riders

NEW YORK, June 20.-In answer
10 the laundering cry which by now
has been heard all over the world
thai the Masons OF America and Eng
land are behind the Ku Klux Klan
comes the answer from the lips of
Supreme Justice Arthur S. Tompkins.
Grand Master OF the Grand Lodge Of
Ney York State, embracing $4,000
members to the effect that "the at
tempt to link the Masonic order with
the activities of the Klan is infamous
and indefensible."
Membership in Klan should be
questioned
"Should a Mason so far forget his
obligations TO his fraternity, his God,
to his country and his fellow man as
to become affiliated with this anti
American organization known as the
Ku Klux Klan, his right to remain
member in good standing OF the Ma
sor1ic fraternity would be seriously
questioned"
Masonry Knows no creed or color
Judge Thompson continued that Ma
sonry was tolerant of every creed its
underling doctrine being the Fatherhood
OF God and the Brotherhood OF man. We
believe in universal brotherhood and
thai "of one blood he made all nations"
The Judge added that he hated the
spirit OF bigotry and prejudice against
men because of their race, color or
creed.
..sEditors Note. 1t has been claimed
that the Ku Klux Klan is composed of
the inner circle of the Scottish Rites
Masons and it is highly possible that
the fair minded judge may not even be
aware OF the affiliations which it is
alleged exist between the Masons and
the Klan. We hope that he is right.
