SERIOUS CHARGES

Senator Heflin read into the Con-
gressional Record an affidavit made
from a man who claimed that he and
his wife had been lured to Texas
along the Rio Grande river by Mr..
Creager and the latter's company,
had been taken to see growing fields
of alfalfa and other crops, was made
to believe that the land he was about
to invest in would produce the same
kind of good crops and that he was
defrauded out of his life's savings
amounting to 100000 and that now
the man is working for wages by the
day and his wife obliged to take in
washing in order to sustain them
selves in their poverty. The land he
was forced to take proved to be over
flow land of the river and will not
produce any kind of crops and is prac-
tically worthless to it's owner.

committee, made an attack on the
administration which involved the en-
tire cabinet under President Harding
in which President Coolidge sat and
participated. Senator Walsh read
letters into the record which show
ed the knowledge President Harding
had of the matter and that the oil
leases had been the subject of much
discussion in the cabinet meetings of
those days and there was much doubt
of the legality Of the affair at the
time.
While the White House was taking
swift steps Sunday to appoint two ma
tionally known attorneys, one Republi-
can and the other Democrat, to in
augurate court action to recover the
leases, Senator Walsh submitted his
resolution in the Senate directing the
President to take such action and to
stop further extraction of oil from the
great reserves at Teapot Dome and
Elk Hills.
So now both old parties will go be-
fore the country and claim the credit
for exposing this nasty affair to the
people. Just before the President
issued his statement Sunday night he
was in conference with Senator Len
root and other Republican leaders,
Lenroot being chairman of the Sem
ate committee on Public Lands which
is making the investigation.

Washington, D. C.-The political
game is a warm one these days in the
National Capital and the heat is on
both sides, each trying to take ad-
vantage of the other and see who
could get to the country first.
The fuss all comes out of the dis
closures before the Senate investi-
eating committee handling the Teapot
Dome oil leases to Sinclair and Do
heny and the exposure of the doings
of former Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Falls, of New Mexico.
President Coolidge got busy III a
hurry, Sunday, when he learned what
had been disclosed before the Senate
committee and he issued a statement
saying that he would Immediately
select competent attorneys represent
ing both major parties to prosecute
the cases; saying in a few words:
eff there is any guilt it will be pun
ished; if there is any civil liability it
will be enforced; if there is any fraud
it will be revealed; and if there are
any contracts which are illegal they
will be cancelled" This statement
came out Monday morning.
When the Senate met at noon the
Democrats charged that the President
was seeking to forestall the Senate
in action. And the Democrats through

men are doing the same, yet others
are caught in the dragnet.
Will such interests dare go as far
as to attempt to break into our pub
lie school system? There is no tell
ing how far they will make efforts
to carry out their system.
Many public men have been hired
or bought up apparently without
knowing it or realizing what they
have done. Of course, they must
give something in return. If this
force is so silent and invisible that
the best minds in America can't see
it, it remains the duty of the Ku Klux
Khan to bring it into the open and ex-
pose the master mind and master
hand.
It's amazing to the men themselves
who have been led into it blindly.
When they find it out, they resign
or make a quick getaway. Mr.. Nc
Adoo resigned in hurry when he
found out what was going on. Watch

Eventually I noticed the absence

oh, he has gone home to bed Gone

jeopardy, whose safety he was
sworn to protect? I demanded the

My demand prevailed and he came
back. Then he was going to march

I would put the matter before the

this, intending to take us through

following story of the affair:
"I will return and will lead a pa
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1924-02-15

The story was brought to Indian
apolis this week, by one of the men
vitality concerned, of how a city of
5000 population (Antigo, Wis., is
misruled by alien prejudice. Mil
waukee newspapers and the newspa-
per at Amigo published versions Of
the episode, which took place jan
uary Is. But these versions differ
greatly from the real facts as related
to a representative of The Fiery
Cross by a national speaker for the
Knights of the Ku Klux Khan, one of
the men concerned.
Captain P. P. Brush, an organizer
for the Ku Klux Khan, and the ma
tional speaker, were mobbed in a
hotel in Amigo in the presence Of
the chief of police and other officers
of the law of Amigo, and driven out
Of the city. The rooms of Captain
Brush, one of which was occupied by
his wife and two children, were raid
ed. Captain Brush and Mrs. Brush
were roughly handled, and Captain
Brush was forcibly taken from the
hotel, thrown into an automobile and
driven several miles into the country
in Is below zero weather, and was
kept out in this freezing temperature
several hours. Threats of death were
made and the mob was prevented
from carrying out the most BASTARD
ly treatment only because the mob
could not drive to a destination in
the country because of the snowdrifts
which made the road impossible for
automobiles.
The Rusht of The Mob
The facts, as given by the national
lecturer, are in substance as follows:
captain Brush had been in Amigo
a few days arranging for meeting
which I was to address. I arrived
in Amigo about 3 o'clock the after
noon of January rs, went to the hotel
where Captain Brush and his family
Well stopping. We had confer
ence regarding the meeting. Captain
Brush told me of the attempt to in
timidate him and we were not greatly
surprised about 5 o'clock in the after
noon when a mob of probably 80
men came rushing into the hotel
lobby. They recognized Captain
Brush and the leaders made for him.
He met them calmly and attempted
to reason with them. Finally some
one in the mob suggested that they
search his room. Obtaining the keys
the mob rushed up the stairs to his
room. The adjoining room was &C.
cupied by Mrs. Brush and their two
children. Captain Brush followed
the mob upstairs, fearing for the
safety of Mrs. Brush and the chill
dren. When he arrived at the room
he was seized, beaten and hauled
downstairs. When the mob reached
the lobby I insisted that the chief of
police 60 to Captain Brush's aid. He
finally did and promised the mob he
The call of the North. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1923-1924, 1924-02-15

would take Captain Brush to the po-
lice station and would see that he
left town on the first train.
Turned Loose in Mob
Reaching the outside of the hotel,
the police chief was told that he was
wanted in the hotel, and he released
Captain Brush in the midst of the
mob, by that time several hundred
men. This was what the mob want
ed. Several men seized Capt. Brush;
he was hurled into an automobile
and away the mob went, headed for
the country. That was the last I
heard of him for three hours.
"Soon a part of the mob was back
in the hotel to get me. I demanded
that the police chief take me to po-
lice headquarters and he finally
started with me, with a bowling
mob at our heels. Arriving at the
police headquarters I asked permits
sion to telephone to Milwaukee. This
was refused. Then I demanded that
the police get on the trail of the mob
in charge of Captain Brush. My
pleadings were of no avail. This was
my eighth experience with mobs, but
I will say never experienced such
fear for the safety of a friend as l
did in the hours that followed be-
fore we had word that Captain Brush
was safe in saloon in the town.
He had ben taken there by the mob
after it had been unable to carry out
its dastardly plans because of the
drifted conditions Of the roads.
'The mob's intention in the begin
ming was to take Captain Brush to a
secluded spot five miles in the coun-
try and apply the tar and feathers
treatment. Unble to get to the
place, they decided to tie him up to
a telephone pole and leave him there
in 10 below zero weather. Someone
in the mob prevailed against this,
knowing it meant sure death to Cap
tain Brush, and they were too cow
ardly to take the chance.
Trying to Get Rid of Him
Someone suggested he be placed
aboard freight train that was due
at the spot where the mob then was,
near the edge of the city. It was
found the freight train had been an
nulled, and the mob was beginning
to cool off. The result was that Cap
tain Brush was brought to the saloon
and the police department was mott
fled to come and get him. He was
brought to the police station and
there he and I were held for hours
with no protection from the wrath
of the mob. Captain Brush was
nearly frozen and had been so Sc
cerely manhandled that he was suf-
fering intensely. We had to wait
several hours, until II p. M, for a
train and what we went through is
indescribable.
"However, the most vivid thing in
my mind is the bursting into the

rade through your main street. was
the statement made by P. P. Brush,
Ku Klux Khan organizer, just before
he left Amigo last night. Brush,
with his wife and children and a fell
low worker, were taken from the
Schneiter hotel by a group of citi-
zens shortly after S o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
"A Number of Committees"
"a number of committees and in
dividuals called upon the organizer
during the last three days of his ten
day stay here and requested, advised
and warned that he leave the city.
The people who called upon him, like
the crowd which was present to see
him elected from the city, was made
up of men from all walks of life and
representing all religious creeds. A
committee from the American Legion
waited upon Brush yesterday and
advised him to leave.
AT five o'clock yesterday about
fifty men gathered at downtown
hall and went to the hotel. Brush
was found in his room, and was taken
away to await the departure of the
limited last night. Both he and his
companion spent the evening at the
police station. His companion, whose
name was not learned, was taken
from the hotel by the police, who
feared violence. Later Brush joined
his co-worker, and the two were es-
corted to the station and deposited
aboard the train by the police. Mrs.
Brush was allowed to remain at the
hotel. Brush and his wife went to
Milwaukee, the other man giving Des
Moines, Ia, as his destination
Hotel Man Inundated
The Amigo newspaper carried the
following statement signed by the
owner of the hotel where Captain
Brush and the lecturer were mobbed:
"In view of the fact that the dis
turbance last evening occurred at my
hotel, it is only fair that I make a
statement in connection with the af-
fair.
Several days ago gentleman
came to my hotel and engaged room
and stated that he might later hold
small meeting there, not intimat-
ing, however, the character of the
same, so had no occasion to refuse
him. There was no suggestion or
statement made regarding a banquet
when l learned later, however, of
the character of the meeting to be
held 1 informed him that it could not
be held at the hotel and the meeting,
as far as the Schneiter hotel was
concerned, had been called off, and
no meeting was to be held there last
evening.

public may know that in no way
encouraged or countenanced the per-
fecting of such an organization as
was contemplated"
