AMERICAN WOMEN MENACED BY REAL "YELLOW
PERIL" IN u. s. CITIES

1T, who said she was the wife of the
oriental.
"On top of this raid came the slay-
ing of white girl, II years of age,
in Elizabeth, N. j., by Felix Salazar,
a Filipino. The girl and the Filipino
had worked in the same factory and
had been keeping company to GER
tain extent. The Filipino lay in wait
for the girl outside her home, and as
she stepped out, fired six bullets into
her from an automitic pistol. To the
police at first he would say nothing.
Later he confessed that he had want
ed to marry little Ellen Alder, but she
would not agree to it and had told
him to keep away.
Nurse Slain By Filipino
"a white nurse was slain recently
by a Filipino who carefully stuffed the
body into bullying suitcase, carried
it to the Staten Island ferry and
threw it overheard. He was captur-
ed and tried and is now awaiting ex-
ecution at Sing Sing.
"One of the most pathetic of all
these cases, however, still is unsolv-
ed, although it occurred in the Christ
mas holidays. A beautiful young Irish
girl had taken employment in one of
the thousands of Chinese restaurants
about the city. All the walters, the
floor managers and the cooks paid de-
voted attention to her, but she told
them one and all that she was not
going Chinese For a year she re-
sisted temptation. Then one of the
cooks, by dog-like alteration, soft
ened her heart and she consented to
marry him if he would take her to
live on the upper west side and not
to Chinatown or any of it's environs.
''The couple took a four-room
apartment and the Chinaman spent
all his savings in fitting it up for his
white wife. He would not let her
work any longer. The two apparent
ly were very happy, but, with the
savings gone, the cook found his ex-
penses were running far above his
pay at the restaurant. It occurred
to him to take in a romer or two.
One was a Chinese sailor. At Christ
mas time the girl was found dead in
the bath tub, her throat cut from ear
to ear and the silken cord of a XII
mono tied deep in the wound.
"The Chinese sailor disappeared.
The police books are filled with these
mixed-color crimes and they are
among the most difficult problems
with which the authorities have to
DEAL"

Bureau Publication and Education)
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The answ-
err Of Senator Mayfield to his oppon-
ent was filed Wednesday morning
with the subcommittee on privileges
and election. In general terms it first

trance into the primary election; his
actions in regard to it, and the Texas
provisions of law on the subject; the
result of the two primary elections,
the nomination of the Republican can
didate, his withdrawal, and the Sc
lection of the contestant as the Re-
publican candidate, and the laws of
Texas in the matter, and the itiga-
ton in Texas which resulted, as
well as the litigation which was start
ed to prohibit the certification of con-
testee as the regular Democratic
nominee.
Second, the answer outlines the
general situation in regard to the
vote in the several counties of Texas,
and the general form of the ballots
that were issued to voters.
Third, it describes the general
character Of the election and the con-
duct of contestee therein.
Fourth, it discusses the personal
expenses Of the contestee. Specifcal-
ly after this Introductory matter, it
denies the allegations Of the petition
of the contestant first, with regard
to the election of contestete; second,
with regard to his expenses; third,
with regard to any alleged illegal con-
duct in the election, or any illega-
lily in the conduct of the election
which deprived contestant of having
his name upon the ballots; fourth,
the allegations with regard to intimi-
dalton; fifth, the allegations of any
illegality through which contestee's
name was placed on the ballot.
Sixth, the allegations of illegal or
fraudulent votes.
Seventh, the allegations with re-
gard to any miscount of votes.

intimidation or unlawful contribu-
ton or false returns.

The necessity for the stand taken
by the Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
in maintaining white supremacy and
the possibilities Of real service in ex-
posing the menace of a new, but very
real yellow PeriP' in the country's
metropolitan centers is revealed in
an article by Robert T. Small, of New
York, appearing recently in the Chi
cago Daily News. ~
While this article depicts conditions
in New York City investigation shows
that it might apply equally well in
Chicago, San Francisco or dozen
other American cities.
The article reads:
"A new yellow peril has laid the icy
grip of death on the metropolitan dis
trict of New York. Within a year
nearly score of white girls have
paid with their lives for the folly of
association with slant-eyed men,
about whose ways they knew nothing.
"The police of the city have done
their best to break up the places
where the white girls meet the yellow
men-a sinister assortment of the
lower types Of Chinese, Japanese and
Fiipinos. But as fast as they raid
one joint another seems to spring up
in it's place, and despite all the warn
ipnc oo1laJ ont r. kboy,o tho c,,ry,1xy of
girls willing to drop into the yellow
underworld seems all but inexhausti-
bic.
''The orientals and white girls
meet at so-called dancing saloons
where no white man is allowed to en-
ter. Detectives and blue-coats have
had to batter their way into many OF
these places. One Of them was in a
fashionable section of Riverside
Drive. Others have been as far
scattered as the outskirts of Flat
bush. But always the atmosphere is
the same-barred doors, burning in
cense, colored musicians, whiskey,
cigarettes and girls with the drowsy
eyes that tell of something more in
sidious than tobacco.
White Girls Caught In Raids
"There is scarcely ever a raid in
Chinatown but that some white wo-
man is dragged out of the shadows
that lurk in this still mysterious Sec
ton of the city. This week the mar
cotic squad ferreted out an old-time
opium den down in Bayard Street.
Even the police had thought this sort
of vice thing of the past. Chum
Hum was the euphonious name of the
Chinaman arrested on the charge of
possessing opium. With him was
taken "Babe" Chum, a white girl of

3. Opens way to amending tax and

Raps William Jennings Bryan

Jennings Bryan and declared that MIR.
Bryan had been a factor in the main

WILL McADoo KAN"
THE kLAN?
XXX
SOLID SOUTH IS BROKEN

XXX
McAdoo Realizes He Must Make His
Stand Before All the People.
Backed by Baruch and Walsh
Both Bitter Enemies of the Khan
XXX
What'll McAdoo do-on the Khan
issue?
Protestant America and political
Washington each await an answer to
that question.
The party chiefly concerned, who
admittedly has presidential aspira-
tons, himself is in a quandary.
While it is generally known that
McAdoo is an avowed enemy of the
Khan, he does not seem to relish the
idea of coming out publicly and say
ing so.
And not without reason. Papa"
Wilson's son-in-law is nobody's fool
especially in things political.
Hot Water
He realizes that some five to ten
millions Of native-born white Protest
ant Americans, their wives, mothers,
sons, daughters and friends, are
going to do no little bit at the polls
in 1924 when the casting Of ballots
takes place.
That means that the presidential
nominee who goes on record against
the things for which he stands is
going to have somewhat of an OBJ
stacle to overcome before he may
hope to take up a four-year resi-
dence in the White House.
McAdoo realizes that and, without
doubt, would like to sidestep the
issue, were it possible. But he can
not and for three good reasons. They
are:
Barney B. Behind
1. He has been all but officially
approved by the Catholic Welfare
Council as it's favored son. The
council, on July 6, went so far as to
send out from its Los Angeles Of
flee a statement of McAdoo's given
out on the subject of citizenship.
This was construed as informal ap-
prevail of McAdoo as the organiza-
tons choice of candidates for the
presidency.
2. McAdoo's chief supporter and
financial hacker is Bernard B. Bar
UGH, a Jewish banker of New York.
It hardly seems consistent that the
we'll known Barney would support
and finance any candidate who would
take stand favorable to the Ku Klux
Khan.
8. Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of
Montana, bitter enemy of the Khan
organization and a Catholic. is Nc
Adoo's principal supporter in Wash
ington.
So it is to be expected shortly that
McAdoo will break into print with
resolutions denouncing the Invisible
Empire. They may be yelled (no
name mentioned), but the idea will be
there.
What will follow?
Hands Tied
When McAdoo goes on record
against the Khan his goose is cook
ed, as far as getting substantial sup
port from the solid South is concern
ed. Southerners are not backward
in letting it be generally known that
they have no desire for Rome to die
tate the politics of the United States.
In other words, if the issue dwind-
,es down to Rome and Republicanism
then the South will choose the
latter, say those who know Southern
politics.
1t is a we'll known fact that Nc
Adoo is on the fence. If he falls for
the dead issue-the League O Ma
tions-he's in bad company, and if he
endorses Baruch and Walsh he will
lose the Klan's support.-The Klans-
man (Dayton).
