RACE COMMISSION.
in GEORGIA TO
CONTINUE FIGHT
Vigorous Compaign Against Mob
Violence and Injustice Is
Outlined.
$50, 1000 SUIT FILED
AGAINST LYNCHERS
Some of the Best Legal Talent in
Georgia Enlisted in Aiding
Commission.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 20-(Special -
The Georgia Commission on Inter-
Racial Cooperation, under the leader
ship of DR.. T. J. wolfter, is waging
vigorous, campaign, against mob
violence and injustice, and for the
development of a public sentiment
that will insure the protection of the
life and property Of every citizen, ir-
respective of color, Governor Dorsey's
astounding exhibits of lynchings and
other injustices were published anc
widely circulated by the Commission
and created a profound impression.
The Commission has drafted and is
working hard for the enactment of an
effective anti-lynching law.
Meantime many cases of mob vio-
lence and injustice have been investi-
gated by the Commission and legal
aid has been extended in number.
Among the latter may be mentioned
the notorious Williams murder farm
case, which the Commission helped
to prosecute and in which convictions
were secured; the case of Tom Parks
whose farm was saved from fraudu-
lent foreclosure; the release of Ne
gro boy who was held in service with
out pay and brutally treated; the
case of Asbury McCluskey, now pend
ing, in which a mob attacked Nc
Clusky's home, wounded him, and
tried to drive him from the commun.
ity. The Commission has identified
members of this mob and filed a $780,
600 damage suit against them.
AS much publicity as possible has
been secured in these and other cases
and good results are accruing. 1t is
notable that in two recent lynchings,
indictments have been returned, and
in one Of them convictions have been
secured. This indicates that great
progress is being made. Some of
the best legal talent in Georgia is
giving every possible aid to the COM
mission.

LEADS FIGHT TO
CLOSE CITY HALL
TO KU KLUx KLAN
Refuses to Grant Permission To
. Klan for Ku Klux
Meeting.
OPENLY FLAYS KHAN
IN LETTER TO OFFICIAL
Declares Disguised Men Create
Only Lawbreaking and
Violence.

Milwaukee, Oct. 20-After a fight
lead by Mayor Daniel w. Hoan, the
Auditorium board refused permission
to the Ku Klux Klan to hold meet
ing in the big city building. This
action was indicated in a letter writ
ten by Mayor Hoan in reply to a COM
munication from G. Lewis Fowler,
Atlanta, Ca, in which the latter at
tempts to explain some "misapprehen-
sions" of the Klan in this city, which
Mr.. Fowler had recently visited. Ma
yor Hoan's reply to Mr.. Fowler reads
in part:
your letter of October 16 stating
that you have ben sojourning here
from Atlanta, Ca, in the interests of
the invisible empire is before me.
"You inform me that the Ku K1ux
Klan has been grievously misrepr'
sented and you set forth in full the
purposes and alleged virtues of the
order.
Let me say first that for law and
order this city stands first among all
the cities in the world. Consequently
for you to come here from the states
where lynching is the most popular
outdoor sport, to tell your people that
they need this organization with its
hoods and nighties, to insure law and
order, is in itself ridiculous. We en-
courage all, including yourself. to
bring to our officials in the ordinary
way, any evidence Of law breaking as
we are ready to deal with crime. Any
claim, therefore, that hooded knights
of an invisible empire directed from
your imperial palace are needed here
to enforce law and order is a clear
fraud.
Second, any organization Of dis
guised men can lead nowhere except
to lawbreaking and violence"
DIR. Fowler recently held a khan
meeting at the Auditorium IN this
city which was very much disapprov-
ed by anti-klan forces. The khan was
refused the use of the Minneapolis
Auditorium for the same purpose
shortly after the meeting held in st.
Paul.

Residents of Butlertown declare
that the noise of worship is now far
greater than the noise of the Butler

noise is of thanksgiving for salvation

some form of the "Blues."

of their lives for the affair eclipsed

address, Mr.. Howell portrayed the
path of the struggling Negro business
man with his many knocks and
bumps without the cooperation and
support Of his fellowmen. He pointed
out the usefulness of an association
composed of persons in business and
after defining the purpose Of the local
league, urged every Negro in business
in the city to join in and put the pro-
gram of the league over. His re-
marks were often applauded.
Mr.. F. D. McCracken, real estate
dealer, told the gathering he was a
member of the league because he be-
lived in cooperation. He also spoke
of several instances where coopera-
tion had put over big things.
Mr.. s. Ed. Hall, who is member
Of the mayors advisory board, spoke
on the proposed $5.000.000 school
bond issue. He urged the league to
continue to carry out its program so
that 1t might take it's place in the
business life Of st. Paul.
Ernest Starks who recently returned
to the city after working with the
Liberty Life Insurance Co., Chicago,
made some very good remarks. He
showed why the league was necessary
for the promotion of Negro business.
in the city, and urged 1t on.
other speakers who were called
upon and brought out some good
points were: o. U. Bray, Mrs. w. b.
Elliot, Hugh Shuck. John Webb,
Nose Johnson and Walter Chesnutt.
Several New Members Join

following persons became members
of the league: Messrs Lee Johnson,

er activities in the near future and 1t
is predicted that the result of Thurs
day nights affair will be duplicated.

rangements for the banquet compos-
ed Of Miss Minnie Tobie. Robert Mi

HOW BOOKS ARE DISINFECTED
Method Employed in France Is Said to
Be the Most Successful Yet
Devised.

The danger Of contagion from books
that have been In the hands of per-
sons suffering from various diseases
has led to the invention of methods Of
disinfecting, of which none appears to
be more effective than that devised
by member of the municipal council
of Paris.
This process consists of two fea-
lures. In the first place, the books
are placed In "beater," where a
strong current of air opens every leaf,
and an asplrator sucks out the dust
and deposits IT in aseptic water Then
they are suspended in a dIsinfector
the covers being bent back and held
by clips, so that the leaves are widely
opened, and placed over a heater.
which for long time subjects them
to temperature of 1877 degrees Fab
renheit. The paper is not damaged, |
and the efficiency Of the process is
said to be well demonstrated.

Dispatch. A young woman was out
with her variegated parrot. The bird
stalked majestically about the lawn,
but quickly came back and perched on
the young woman's finger whenever
she called. His comlngs and goings
to and from the finger gave the parrot
its prescribed exercise, whether 1t
wanted 1T or not.
The young woman didn't seem to
mind the crowd that gathered about

proud of the attention she and the
bird were attracting. JIggers, whose

HAD STUDIED HIS SUBJECT
Little Bobby's Essay Showed He Know
Practically All There Was to
Know About Doors.

Little Bobby Jones was told to write
an essay on "Door." and the effort
which he sent In was as follows:
Most houses have all the doors
that they need, and no house is COM
plete without at least one. The two
main differences between a door and
a gate is: first, their opposite loca-
ton; and. second. that people have
much less respect for gate, and
would rather kick 1t than knock on 1t.
But a gate Is more useful than
door because it does everything that
a door can do. and. besides that, 1t
can be climbed over, and often is.
"The door handle is a small but i'm
portant part Of the door which peo-
pie never appreciate until 1t comes
Off. Most people never notice the door
handle unless 1t Is brought to their
notice on account of having jam
spread all over It.
Doors are great things to give peo-
pie privacy, and would give them still
more If it wasn't for the keyholes."-
