CITIZENS AR E
u RGED TO
REGISTER

Richard w. Reading, City Clerk,
announces that he is making a spe-
cial appeal to all unregistered col
ored citizens to take advantage Of
the opportunity to register so that
they will be able to vote in the
election of November 3, 1886, as
there will be no district registra-
ton and no other opportunity to
register prior to the November
election.
Electors who registered since
May 1, 1882 under the permanent
registration system and who voted
in 1888 or any election since, are
not required to re-register at this
time, unless, since registering,
there has been a change of resi-
dence. Those who have moved since
they last voted may transfer at the
ity hall in person or by mailing in
a signed notice, not later than Octo-
Der IA, giving old and new address,
es and date of removal.
Persons who registered in 1882
but have not voted since that year
should apply for registration If
they have not already done so, as
the statutes require the cancella-
ton of registrations of those cleo
tors who fail to vote at least once
in a two-year period.
The office at the city hall will
also be open from eight o'clock a.
m. from Oct. Z to IA, inclusive, for
convenience of persons unable to
register or transfer during the day
Mr.. Reading said that he expects
the November election to be one Of
the largest in the history of De-
troit, and he expects such a large
turn out that he is advising all citi
zens to vote as early in the day as
possible to avoid the evening rush.

TAKE ACTION

Lexington, Ky.-The Reverend
william H. Brown, rector of ST.
Andrews Episcopal church here,
has received a threatening letter
signed xxx" from Moore's Hill,
Indiana because he has purchased
q farm In the vicinity of that town.
Mr.. Brown is World War veter-
an and in June received his bonus
money. He decided to invest a por-
ton of It in a farm for his family
and, after investigation, completed
negotiations for a piece of proper
ty in Indiana.
During the transaction with real
estate agents and others Mr..
Brown voluntarily brought up the
question of color so that he would
be assured of peace for his family.
There was no indication from any
one concerned that colored fami-
ly would have any trouble in that
section of Indiana. However, two
days after the deal was completed,
Mr.. Brown received the following
letter, printed in capital letters by
hand:
Mr.. Brown:
1T am taking time to drop you a
few lines, as l understand you are
dealing for a piece of property
near Moore's Hill, Ind. I would
like to let you know before it's too
late that there are no other color
ed folks in this community and /
think this will not be a desirable
place for you and your family as
the feeling is running very high
since the news has come out that
you were coming into our COM
munity. / would advise you for your
own benefit to not buy property
here.
Yours truly
"K. X. K"
Mr.. Brown has been an active
worker for an supporter Of the N.
A. A. c. p. and has communicated
with Walter White, national secre-
tary in New York, who in turn has
placed the matter before Governor
Paul v. McNutt of Indiana, the two
Indiana senators, and all the re-
representatives. of the state in oCn-
gJess. Mr.. Whites letter to Gov
er}nor McNutt declares:
I'VE are taking the liberty of
requesting you as Governor of the
State to take such action as lies in
ydur power in investigating and
bringing to justice under the laws
of the State of Indiana the persons
responsible for these threats, and
to/ protect to the fullest extent of
thR 1aw Mr.. Brown in his rights,
Nasy a citizen, and as a soldier who
I'd light for democracy"

TO KNOX
YPRESIDENT
AWAITED
BY GEORGE DURNO
International News Service


. Many millions OF life insurance
policy holders and savings bank
depositors looked to the White
House today for an answer to the
twice-repeated charge Of Republi-
can Vice Presidential Candidate
Frank Knox that their policies and
accounts were insecure and unsafe
II the New Deal continued in
office.
President Roosevelt was meeting
with spokesman for virtually all
Of the major life insurance com
panies. He had called them into
conference. That much was known.
Otherwise, the session was cloaked
in deepest official mystery.
The aSSemblage of insurance
executives was following hard on
the heels of an Unexpectedly
broadcast speech from Helena,
Mont, last night by Colonel Knox
reiterating the assertion he made
first in Allentown, Pa, on Septem-
Der that under the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration mo life insurance
policy is secure and no savings &C
count is safe"
White House Silent
Presidential Secretary Early in
sisted the original correspondence
bringing about today's gathering
had gone out on August 24-12
days before Knox first charged
that the New Deal spending was
leading straight to initiation"
which would undermine insurance
and savings If permitted to con-
tinue unchecked. Further, Early
would not comment in advance of
the conference, even to the ex'
tent of revealing who were to be
present.
Colonel Knox prefaced his Hell
ena speech with an announcement
he had suddenly been prompted"
to address a nationwide radio
audience when he learned the
President had called in the big
insurance executives.
There was every indication that
Mr.. Roosevelt was going to ask the
insurance men whether they con-
sidered their policyholders to be
secure and whether or not their
reserves had increased since 1888.
Explains Complaint
Whether the President would
make public the answer, or
whether he would leave it up to the
insurance executives. was a fine
point that political observers
awaited with interest.
Knox apparently anticipated
that the insurance men, regardless
Of their personal political lean
ings, would hasten to assure Mr..
Roosevelt their business was on
@ sound basis.
He emphasized last night that
he regarded both insurance COM
panieS and savings banks to be AS
sounC. as the Rock of Gibraltar"
The Knox complaint was that
continuation of the Roosevelt re-
CINE would undermine the value
of the money into which insurance
is paid and savings are kept" and
that the New Deal was conducting
q Government under which it is
going to cost more to live, but a
great deal more to die"
Irked BY Accusation
There was no mistake but what
the Roosevelt camp was ranking
under Knox'S accusations. In ad-
vance of today'S conference, one
high Administration spokesman
made the point that when the
Hoover Administration came to an
end, agricultural prices we're at a
devastating although ware
houses were bursting"

A Wholesome Decision.

So many good American dollars have
gone glimmering through reputation OF
obligations all over the world that spe-
cial interest attaches to decision just
rendered in Federal court at New York,
in connection with German bonds held
in this country. 1t affects total capital
investment of 1886, 945.810 that being
the aggregate of Reich dollar securities
owned by Americans. OF that sum
1888, 587 $40, or close to 100 per cent, was
reported in default as of December 81,
1885.
In ruling applying to s9s3,7so Of
bonds floated here by the famous
Siemens-Schuckert Electric Co. of Berlin,
Judge Patterson swept aside the German
debt moratorium laws enacted in 1888
and 1885. He held that they are non
existent as far as American investors
are concerned. The decision is based
on the ground that in issuing dollar
bonds here, German corporations sub
jected themselves to the jurisdiction of
American courts and must meet their
Indebtedness in accordance with Amer
lean law.
In opposing the suit to recover q
principal sum in arrears, the Germans
claimed "impossibility and ilegality OF
