Dyer Bill Placed
On Calendar For
Debate In Senate
Bill Now on Senate Calendar and
May Receive Early Consid-
Grafton by That Body.

New York, N. Y, Sept. 15-The
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was definite
ly placed on the Senate Calendar for
debate and vote at the present ses-
sion of Congress, this action being
taken by the Senate Steering COM
mittee on Wednesday, August 80, ac-
cording to announceent made today.
When it was learned that the Bonus
Bill would be passed so soon after
being taken up in the Senate, James
Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N.
A. A. C. p, was recalled from his va
cation and went Immediately to the
capitol at Washington. There he
worked hard, although suffering from
an attack of lagrippe. He held nu-
merous conferences with Republican
leaders in the Senate, including SEN
ators Curtis, of Kansas; Willis, OF
Ohio; Mccormick, of Illinois; Calder,
of New York; Shortridge, of Califor-
MIA and several others.
AS a result of the work done, and
particularly because of the extensive
pressure which had been brought to
bear on individual Senators, the Dy-
er Bill was definitely placed op the
calendar. which means that it will
be brought up for debate and vote
within the next few weeks.

Human Hand Threat of Klan
Adds to Vehemence of Edi-
tor of Messenger.

New York City, Sept. f5-The
sending of the human hand to A..
Philip Randolph, co-editor of the
Messenger magazine, last week has
not caused him to become weak in
the knees. Before the largest crowd
that has attended the Friends of Me-
gro Freedom meetings, he last Sun
day ridiculed Marcus Garvey more
than ever before. He repeated every
thing he had been dared to say over
again and besides added lot of logi-
cal deductions he had made relative
to the hideous incident.
At New Douglas Hall, 142d street
and Lenox avenue, there was hardly
standing room at $3.50 p. m. The
air was pregnant with discomfort, dis
gust and righteous wrath at the das-
tardly trick stopped to by the un-
speakable Ku Klux.
Mr.. Robert w. Bagnall, director of
branches of the N. A. A. G. p, made
the opening address. Chandler Ow-
en- presided.
When Mr.. Randolph appeared
there was an instantaneous ovation.
1t was like the people acclaiming a
hero. The speaker proceeded serious
ly and courageously into the busi-
ness at hand. After narrating Gar
vey's activities and quoting his spec
ches in the South, he told of the re-
ceiving the gruesome souvenir.
"The Southern white man thinks
the Negro is afraid of anything
dead" he declared. Hence they
sent me the hand. They thought
that this form IL intimidation would
surely cause US to cease our attacks.

News of Klu Klux Organization
Here Fails to Arouse the
Least Anxiety.

Believe 1t or not, they're here!
The Klu Klux Klan held a weird
meeting last Thursday night in
neck of the woods at Cedar Lake,
near Minneapolis, for the purpose Of
initiating 100 new klansmen into the
membership of the Knights of the
Invisible Empire. The meeting while
only slightly attended served to ad-
vertise the organizations presence In
the Twin Cities.
Hold Weird Services.
The services, 1t is reported, were
conducted In practically the same
manner they have been advertised
heretofore-the fiery cross. the white
robed kiansmen, white-robed horses
and horsemen. Standing before the
fiery emblem of the khan, the head
klansmen rehearsed the principle OF
the khan which everybody knows are
anti-Negro, anti-catholic. anti-foreign-
er. In other words, anti-American. To
these principles, it is understood
nearly 100 new members from the
Twin Cities were sworn into the Min
nsota legion of the far reach arm of
the Invisible Empire.
Membership 1000 Strong.
Klan officials are reported as say
ing the membership of the organiza-
ton in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota total one thousand. They al
so claim the claim has been in exis-
tence here for several months but
last Thursday nights meeting was
the first meeting here at which out
siders have been allowed to be pres
ent.
The publication of the story of the
klan's presence in st. Paul and Min
neapolis has caused little or no anx-
iety here.
