Uneasiness in Louisiana
preston News Seryice)

New Orleans, La. Feb.-Rumors are
widely circulated in this city and vicin
ity about the existence Of BLACK
Ku Klux Khan and it is causing a
great deal of annoyance and worry
among the employing class Of well-to-
do white housewives. In fact it is caus
ing business men to leave their offices
and go home early in order to get
warm meal cooked by the servant girl
who alleges that she must be at home
before dark for if they arrive after the
sun goes down trouble is bound to be
experienced.
1t is claimed that things have reach
ed such a stage here that some house
wives and their husbands have decided
to adopt the farmers daylight day.
Rumor is ripe among Negroes here
of the existence of a black ku klux
khan which is held responsible for the
kidnapping Of Negro woman and
her daughter and threats against Ne
gro women and girls who are out aft
er dark. Black-robed and hooded men,
according to the story Turk along the
streets and grab them.
Investigation by the police has fail
ed to establish the truth o. the reports
in any particular. but the year has
