KLAN ORGANIZATION
10000 Strong in
CITY OF new YORK
Especial to The TribuneJ

NEW YORK, JAN 19-Ku Klux
Wlan organizers and leaders in New
York City have had and are having
the benefit of publicity which mil
lions of dollars could not have bought
outright, and they are making the
best of it. They are capitalizing the
stupidity of officials of the city ad
Iainistration and of the courts, and
they are not trying to hide their sat
isfaction in the fatuous manner in
which the mayor, the police, and
judge are attempting to shoe them
away.
All that MayorHylan has been able
to think of to stop the operations of
the Ku Klu hate-purveyors is his in
struction to Police Commissioner En-
right to use against the kluxers the
same illegal terroistic methods which
are part of the klan's own procedure.
In brief, the mayor ordered the police
to chase the khan organizers from the
city.
All that Judge Mancuso, who has
set two grand juries to investigating
khan activities here, has been able to
do is to repeat the same sort of "law
and order" oratory which he aimed at
radicals" in his court and to dig
up law which makes it merely a
misdemeanor for three or more per-
sons to assemble disguised by hav-
ing their faces painted, discolored, or
concealed"
All that the police have done as
this is written, is to supply the Dis
trict Attorney, and through him the
Grand Jury, with a list of 800 alleged
members of the khan here, together
with some copies of the kluxers' Off
cial organ published in Atlanta.
Government and local detectives for
long time have boasted that they
know all about everything said and
done and planned by communist and
other radical groups here and else
where.
If it has occurred to the authorities
to use the same methods against the
Ku Klux Klan, nothing has come of
it. Perhaps the official prosecutors
feel they cannot spare any of their
sleuths lest the Communists grab the
army, sink the navy, nationalize coal
and do away with radical discrimna-
tions and prejudices that have SO well
served the masters by dividing the
ranks of the workers
In the meantime, the local khan is
effectively capitalizing the stupidity
of the city officials and is said to be
100000 strong.

tried there on charges relating to the
funds of the Black Star Steamship
Company. firm Garvey promoted for
the purpose of transporting Negroes
to Liberia.

am positive that my assailants were
acting on instructions to put me out
of the way and prevent my appearing
as witness against Garvey at the
trial" He named William Shake
speare and Fred Dyer. Both have
been arrested.
Eason was formerly in the "Garvey
Movement, as the American Lead
er," but he and Marcus Garvey disa-
greed during the convention of 1922,
and Eason began a tour of the coun-
try denouncing Garvey as a crook, rob-
bling the people.
Garvey was in New Orleans several
months ago and spoke before a large
gathering of colored people.

IMPERIAL WIZARD
SAYS KLAN SPIRIT
WILL rule nation

WASHINGTON, Jan 19-In state
ment issued tonight, DIR. w. Fl. Evans,
the new Imperial Wizard of the Ku
Klux Klan, virtually confirmed re-
ports which startled Washington early
in the day to the effect that his real
mission in visiting the capital is to
lay the ground work for an ambitious
scheme seeking ultimate control of
national legislation.
The Imperial Wizards encourage
continued to throw the element of
mystery about their visit here that
has marked it from the outset.
It is reported that Evans had Sc
cret meeting with President Harding
following a call with Gutzon Borglum,
the sculptor who brought about the
meeting between the khan head and
Gov Allen, paid at the White House.
Commenting on his interview with
Gov Allen, in which he was rebuffed
by the state executive, Evans issued
an Official statement in which the
following was included
1T makes little or no difference
what Gov Allen says, and what he
means even less The Klan is here
and America has accepted it as the
militant spirit of operative patriotism.
The spirit of the Klan-kraft has en-
wrapped the United States in a man.
tie of love for country which design
ing and ambitious politicians cannot
break. In few brief years the spirit
of the Klan will have so engulfed the
thought of the country that we can ex-
pect intelligent legislation from the
Congress of the United States which
will drag down the white flag of su-
pine inertia from the legislative halls
and raise in its place the militant
flag of red, white and blue, which
means the thing nearest the heart Of
every real American.
I'VE are profoundly grateful to Mr..
Allen for the sacrifice he has made in
relegating himself to political oblivion
in the stand he has taken to oppose
those men of America who have
pledged their votes, their money, their
sacred honor and their lives, if nee
essary, to maintain our national hon
or unimpeached, unstained untaint-
ed and unsullied by the foul breath of
alien Influences"
These excerpts from the statements
issued by the khan head go to uphold
the statement issued two weeks ago,
it will be remembered, by the Afri-
can Blood Brotherhood, to the effect
that the khan sought to conquer politi-
cal power and emulate the example
of the Fascist of Italy. While the
statement of the new khan head is
less brutally frank than were the
statements of "Col." Simmons, it must
always be borne in mind that in the
klan's thought the Negro is always
classed with the alien, and that ex-
pressions of patriotism, love of coun-
try, and khan democracy are not sup
posed to apply to the Negro, although
the Negro can so interpret them
should he desire to continue in his
historical role in America of political
jack ass.

acteristic with some of our folks to
pick flaws, and disrespect the rights
of others. This was the most dis
graceful and obnoxious affair that has
ever happened in Prescott, and the
reading public should know. The
president and all of the staff of Off
GERS have done all they could and
have been faithful through its entire
existence as division here But the
spirit carried forth by two or three
parties simply tore things to pieces.
Many are discouraged but, as the re-
porter, will say, take new courage. If
the Garvey movement means anything
at all, stand by it; crush ignorance,
and stand by the leaders who have
brought things to pass, and if you are
tired of them, elect others and do it
gentlemanly and in a ladylike manner
and carry the affair to success
Mr.. Albert Lee Sells and Miss Mag
gle Clark were happily united in the
holy bonds of matrimony last Tues
day, the 9Th, by Rev. Simpson pas
tor of the A. M. E. Zion church, at
the parsonage. The affair was quiet
but very beautiful Mrs. Simpson was
the subscribing witness. The bride is
a sister of Mrs. l.. A. McCarty, and
has won for herself the love of many
of the Prescott people, and a few of
her old friends here who knew her
at her home in Muskogee, Okla, tell
of her faithfulness to her sisters and
brothers who were left motherless at
the death of her dear mother. She
is wonderful character, modest and
sweet, and loved by all who know
her. She has been patient and gen.
tie with her sister throughout her ILL
ness, and is still taking the same care
of her as before her marriage. Albert
Lee Sells, the Fort Whipple idol, is
one of the most popular young men
of this city, and has many old time
friends here who are glad to congratu-
late him on SO noble a choice. We
wish for them prosperous and hap
py life, and beautiful sail over life's
sea.
Mr. and Mrs. Sells were at home to
few of their many friends with
dinner party at their cozy home, sos
So. Montezuma St. The home was
beautifully decorated, and cards were
the main feature. The dinner was
lovely and beautifully served. The
guests were: Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Greer Mr.. and Mrs.
Youngblood. Mother Johnson and the
host and hostess All report a won
derful time. On departing they
wished Mr.. and Mrs. Sells success
throughout their married career.
Mr.. L. McCarty has been a little
sick with a cold, but is better, and
is able to be at his store. We hope
he will soon feel better. Many of the
Prescott folks are suffering with
colds.
