FIND BODIES
NEGROES BURIED
ONDEATH FARM

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 14.-Grim
pictures of brutal flogging. sordid
bootlegging transaction in the dead
of the night and bitter feuds result
ing in the death of at least two per.
sons on the Simpson road death
farm" grew out of an Investigation
started Saturday following the find.
ing of a colored youths body in a
shallow grave on the farm. Star
Ting disclosures are promised when
the probe, which has been yelled
with secrecy, is completed.
Authorities are slowly piecing to-
gether the sinister purpose of the
farm, thickly wooded and lonely, de-
spite the fact that it is only two
miles from the heart of Atlanta.
Thursday, following information CIV
en- by an anonymous party, searchers
found the remains of Owen Carruth-
ers buried in cornfield. The youth
who disappeared mysteriously in
July at the time he was to give
testimony in the trial of a white
bootlegger, had died from a fracture
of the skull, which physicians who
examined the body said was in
flicted by a blow from some heavy
blunt instrument.
Finding of Carruther's body led
officers for search of other victims
as the Anonymous report said that
number of Negroes had been mur-
dered and secretly buried on the
farm by l.. B. Fuller, white.
John Peck, Saturday told the in
vestigators that he had been severely
beaten and three other Negroes had
been blackjacked and slugged, the
,attaekss occurring In the .eornfield
where CarrutheT's body was found,
Three men were arrested in con-
nection with the grim discovery
made on the death farm. They
were Thomas Trollinger, white ten
ant on the farm, who is also charg-
ed with the death of Millard T.
Allen, white, who was shot to death
on the farm; l.. b. Fuller, white,
owner Of the farm, and Will Burkes,
who was employed at the farm.
A vigil at the farm is being kept
by the police in an effort to round
up witnesses who are known to have
frequented the farm. Up until a
late hour Saturday night the officers
were securing the section for miss
ing witnesses while others we're be-
ing questioned at police headquar-
ters and at the county jail.
No definite statement was forth
coming from the officials as to when
they expected to resume their search
for bodies of the other Negroes
who, according to their informa-
tion, are buried at the death
farm"
The authorities are apparently de-
voting their attention to getting
their evidence in shape for the
grand jury investigation before re-
suming the search.

PHILLY JUDGE
ASKS BAN ON
NEGRO MIGRANTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. H.
Radical and startling recommenda-
tions that steps be taken to curb
the entrance of race migrants into
cities OF the East and Philadelphia
in particular, were made here this
week By Judge Edwin D. Lewis.
white. following a Grand Jury re-
port.
Stating that IS or so per cent of
the persons held in prisons charged
with crime are colored. he declared
II believe that this is due to the I'm
discriminate migration from the
rural sections to the large cities In
my judgment the time is not far dis
tant when the large cities will erect
barriers to prevent the wholesale en-
try in their midst of persons coming
frcm the black belt of the South.
/ believe that cities should have the
right to say who shall enter into
their confines, otherwise Philadel-
phia and other cities within the
next ten years will not be fit TO live
in. Some sections of them are not
fit TO live in now" The Judge said
nothing of the southern rural COM
munities which rob Negroes of mil
lions of school funds in the effort
to keep them ignorant
Judge Lewis statement, printed in
the daily press, brought forth a
storm of replies from Philadelphia
race leaders. Magistrate Henry, the
Rev. Charles A. Tindley and others
protested that the jurist was using
his position to vent race hatred. One
prominent attorney stated in letter
to the press that the judge was CT
mediocre ability, without judicial
mind, racially prejudlced and a per-
feet speuimen of the southern
cracker.
Just one day before Judge Lewis
made this statement, he sentenced
colored youth to 40 years in pris-
on for assault and battery and at
tempted robbery. II is said to be
the longest sentence for such a
crime in record in the Philadelphia
courts.
Judge Lewis is said to have come
from county in Virginia. He came
to Philadelphia about Is years ago.

Another Death Farm In Georgia
Jersey School Fight
In Supreme Court

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Continu-
ing their fight for reinstatement,
parents of children segregated in the
public school here, backed by the N.
A. A. c. p, and social and fraternal
organizations, through their counsel,
Eugene Hayne of Asbury Park. have
carried their case TO the state SUI
preme court.
The fight is centering around the
refusal of certain schools to admit
Negro children who lived in their
school district. Instead a school
eight blocks away from the district
in which the children lived was pro-
vided. When parents refused to send
their.children to this school they were
served with notice by the attend
ance officer to show causes why they
should not be adjudged disorderly
persons.
Counselor Hayne, who appeared
before the school board in August,
will be remembered for his victory
in reinstating pupils in the Toms
River School after they had been
barred because of color The victory
was a decisive blow to all school seq
regation in the state.

LEPER PRISONER
TO BE TRIED
in GLASS CAGE

BATON ROUGE. Nov. 17.-Ed-
ward Payton, a Negro in the ad-
vanced stages of leprosy. is sched-
uled to go on trial for murder here
Monday and chills are running
down the backs of tentative federal
court jurors.
The spectacle of Payton being
trundled into the courtroom inside
a great glass cage appeared not too
improbable tonight.
United States Marshal Victor Loi-
sci has admitted there may be diff
culties finding jury to serge in
the case, lawyers to defend the ac-
cused and deputies to guard the
prisoner.
SO strange a case Uncle Sam prob
ably never before has had on a fed
eral court calendar.
Payton is charged with numbering
fellow inmate of the federal lepro-
sarium at Carville, La. last August.
He was caught on the grounds of
the leprosarium and because OF lack
of facilities for caring for lepers in
prisons, Payton was allowed to re-
main at the institution.
His trial on a murder charge will
be the first of its kind in the United
States, although court records show
leper was once tried in the Ha-
waiian Islands on a similar charge.
A glass cage was used in that in
stance before jury could be drawn.
Judge Louis Fl. Burns of New Or
leans will preside at the trial.
Plans now are for removal of the
leper here Monday and for his ap-
pearance exposed"
The district attorneys office for
weeks has puzzled over what to do
with Payton, and II was learned to-
night he will be fenced off In some
manner from the rest of the court
room.
As last resort, glass cage may
be built and Payton placed in It.
For several weeks federal autliori-
ties of this district admitted they
seriously contemplated allowing
Payton to remain in the leprosar-
ium and not prosecute him.
Payton, facing death anyway. may
now find II at the end of rope.
II he is found guilty of murder this
method of death is the prescribed
manner in federal cases.

Hundreds Swarm To Negro
Healers Cabin In Mississippi

HATTIESBURG, Miss, Nov. 16.
Hundreds of persons are swarming
daily to the modest little bungalow
of DIR. Sam Redmond, the NEGRO
miracle man," who has established
his offices in deserted and wild
section of Covington County, about
60 miles west of this city.
Strange Scenes Enacted
Strange scenes are being enacted
in front of this bungalow daily
scenes almost unbelievable to those
who are not eye witnesses. White
women with babes in their arms, aged
patriarchs hobbling on erutches, in
fact, men and women and children
of all ages suffering from some af-
Fiction eagerly pay out sums rang
ing from So to SIS in return for a
bottle of mysteriously concocted med
icine, said to be brewed from herbs
imported from Jerusalem.
The Golfers of Redmond are being
swelled to the bursting point as hun
dreds of credulous humans are pro-
viding the grist for the healing mill.
Has Own "Office''
The building is about two and a
hal1 miles OH the ROAD running De-
tween Bassfield and Collins. This
two and half mile stretch, once
open country, is now a road of sorts
but the tremendous voume of travel
has cut the field into deep ruts, over
which is constant stream of motor
cars moving in low gear, their driv-
ers undiscouraged by the almost inn
passablc route, goaded on by the de-
sire to be made whole. Recently a
Hattiesburg citizen went out to the
miracle mill, curious to see just how
far mans credulity will lead him. He
said that at least 800 persons clam
ored about the bungalow. Women
were seen to rush to the. doctors"
presence and throw their arms about
his neck in supplicasion for delivery
from some bodily Ill.

William j. Florence, who was ini-
tiated into the order in some foreign
country, brought it to America. He
ming, white, who in turn introduced
it among the white Masons of this
country about 1872. They formed a
grand body in 1876.
The ritual now in use is trans
lation from the original Arabic found
preserved in the archives Of the order
at Aleppo, Syria.
First Shrine in Chicago
Thirteen colored Masons, who were
Knights Templar and 32nd degree
Scottish Rite Masons, were initiated
into the Order of Mystic Shrine in
Chicago, ILL.,, June /, 1893, by Ro-
field Pasha of Arabia, S. Hussein of
Syria, Amel Kader of Palestine and
A. B. Belot Of the North Coast of
Africa.
These men organized Palestine

name later was changed to Arabic
Temple. June 10, 1898, they organ
lLtu u lHiDNiiGl COuHNiis II was
incorporated under the laws of the
state of Illinois July 5,1893, and the
constitution and laws for the govern
ment of the order were entered in
the Congressional Library by John
G.. Jones.
In 1898 temples of colored Shrin-
ers were organized in Chicago, st.
Louis, Kansas City, Louisville, Cleve-
land, New York City, Baltimore,
Pittsburgh, Alexandria and Rich
mond, Va; Los Angeles, and Wash
ington, d. C. In July, 1894, the inn
perial potentate of the white Shrin-
ers reported TO his organization the
existence of the colored order.
Incorporated 1901
John G. Jones, the first executive
head of the colored Shriners, was ex-
PEELED from his Masonic order. De-
cember 12, 1900, representatives Of
the different temples of the colored
Shrine met in Philadelphia, reorgan-
lied the order and changed its name
to Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine of North
and South America and its jurisdic-
ton. The order was Incorporated in
the District Of Columbia November
10, 1901.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for membership
in both the white and the colored
Shrines are that the applicant must
be a Mason and Knight Templar
or 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason.
Both orders draw their membership
from the respective grand lodges of
Masons. There is no affiliation be-
tween white and colored Masons, al
though both came from the same
source.

The sinking spell was unexpected,
DR.. Wilfred Fralick said. He attribu-
ted the death to condition of status
lymphticus, evident in the operated
region above the right eye.
The operation was intended to
clear the scar tissue, the result of
many years. Of fighting.
The fact that Flowers was under

an emergency one.
