Almost Thirty Thousand Members of "The Knights of The White Light", or The Ku Klux Klan, Assembled at Ninety-Fifth Street and Seventy-First Avenue Last Saturday Night, and It Is Said That Before They Dispersed That Plans Were Laid to Wade Into the Jewish and Roman Catholic Candidates at the Forth- Coming Election in Cook County.
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN MARCHED INTO THE IMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH LAST SUNDAY EVENING AND LAID MORE THAN TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS DOWN ON THE TABLE. ITS PASTOR, THE REV. JOHNSTON MYERS, HAS BEEN NOTED FOR SOME YEARS AS BEING UNFRIENDLY TO COLORED PEOPLE.
members of the Klan boldly marched into the Imanuel Baptist church, Twenty-third and South Michigan avenue with their faces hidden by masks wearing the red cross on the breasts, and the K. K. K., they marched by the altar in single file and deposited more than $1,200 on it, the daily newspapers had evidently been informed in advance as to what would be pulled off at that time for they were there just in time to snap some pictures of the members of the Klan just as they were emerging from the church.
It will be recalled that Rev. Johnston Myers, the present mossback pastor of Imanuel Baptist church, came to this city to reside from either Cincinnati, Ohio, or from some part of Kentucky in 1893, that shortly after he assumed the pastorate of that church he let the Baptist world know that he did not want any colored Baptists to worship in that church, and it is claimed that he absolutely refused to baptize a small innocent baby simply because it was black in the face, it is further claimed that this holy man of God intimated from his race prejudice pulpit that he firmly believed in mob and lynch law for colored men who were charged with attempting to rape white women, that the colored people should at all times be segregated in every possible way and it will be further recalled that shortly after the race riots in this city in 1919, that according to the daily press that Rev. Johnston Myers was dead anxious to become one of Governor Lowden's race commissioners, presumably so that he would be in a far better position to strike at the manhood rights of the colored people and the chances are ten to one that Rev. Myers is some kind of an honored member of the "Knights of the Kn Khlz Klan."
Notwithstanding all of the foregoing the vast majority of the colored Baptist preachers in this neck of the woods worship Rev. Johnson Myers as their white Baptist god.

‘about the meeting of the National

to tell you about it and you can’t make
me tell you any, more, and you just
put-that in your pipe and smoke it.
Ap my last Jetter I told-you,about
Mfs, Carrie A. Toggle and’ the great
work she is doing, and bow I had &
big time although sick in Mobile, Ala-
bama. She is indeed one more great
woman and the world knows it; Well
T got through withi.that méeting and
made my way'to another part’of this
busy world of ours.
I spent a few hours in Montgomery,
and then a night, in,Atlanta, and then
2 night in Washington, D. C, and
night in Richmond, Va, so/on Toes-
day morning I reached Norfolk, or at
feast I left Richmond, and got to Nor-
folle in the afternoon.” When I got
off of that-Ghesapeake & Ohio boat in
Norfolk, I found Dr. Robert J. Br6wn,
the dentist, with a smile gn his face
that .wotild do credit to the: “Gold
Dust Twins,” and he shook my lily
black hand and looked into my pretty
blue eyes and informed me that he
was there to tote me to. his home
where I was to be the guest of. him-
self aud ‘wife during my stay in the

Dr. Brown has some king of an
automobile car carriage, and soon had
me seated in it headed for his home.
Tt was @ few minutes past 3 o'clock
that afternoon that I’ got to town
when all this happened, and 1 met his
wife, who is one of the finest women
T have had the pleasure of meeting
ia long time. “She shook my fily
black hand just like her husband and
told me that I was welcome to her
home and to all that there was ia it.
T was ready to ride off in the carriage
again, but she told us to wait and
dinner would soon be served.
‘Beliews me. when it came to the din-
ner end of it. I sent chicken and
chicken’ into my eternity, and there
were rolls which would melt in your
mouth. Mrs. Brown is from Clark
university, Atlnts, Ga.; in fact, she

She is courteous, congenial and seems

After dinner we went out to see the
town, I went to Mt. Vernon hote!|
where Perry W. Howard and others
were stopping. It was in fine shape,
nd I ‘enjoyed being with L. W.
Bright and others. In company with
Banker Williams, of the Wage Earn-
era Bank, and he is president, Editor
Sol Johnsoa, of the Savannah Tribune,
ind L. W. Bright, we went down to
Little Bay, the place owned by Bright,

the daughter of the late John M.

man. She is devoted to any cause in
which, her husband is interested.
Now then, came the time’ for the
‘opening, and Dr, Robért Ri Moton
took his ‘seat on the -rostum, but it
was not his open. The meeting was
called to order by the chairman of
the Negro Chamber ef Commerce and
they lave one_in the city. ‘Then fol-

the program of the morning. “When
Dr. Moton was presented the people
stood up, and gave him one more ova-

that were made, ‘but I will tell you
that Dr. Robert R:. Moton was re-
jelected president, and C. C. Spaulding
‘was elected chairman of the executive
committee and John L. Webb was
elected treasurer, Chas. H. Anderson,
of Jacksonville, Fis, resigned. As
they moved along there were but few
changes. in the official staff. You
Know that this organization don't be-
Tieve in changes, but Mr. Anderson’s
business was so that he could not
give the attention to the League, but
‘he will still follow it and serve in any

there were so many other things that
took place.
Fred R Moore, editor of the New
‘York Age, and a long time friend of
Dr. Booker T. Washington, presented
Dr. Robert R. Moton with a fine
Cadillac in the name of his friends.
Berry O'Kelly and Dr. Plummer were
the leading spirits in taking hold of
it, and it was fitting that Fred Moore
should make the presenting speech.
‘Mrs. Moton responded. She accepted
the fine gift and of course Dr. saidia

JERSEY CONGRESSMAN urge that you do everything in yor
Pointing out that R. Wayne Parker,
Congressman from the Ninth Con-
‘gressional District of New Jersey was
the only New Jersey Congressman
‘who voted against the Dyer bill when
it was passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives by a vote of 230 to 119, the
National Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People have made
public a letter sent to its Newark
‘and Orange, N. J., branches urging
colored voters to do everything in
their power to defeat Mr. Parker, who
ig a candidate for re-election, In the
letter the Advancement Association
pointed out that the Dyer bill has
given colored voters a clear-cut issue
‘on which to determine who are the
friends and who are the enemies of
the Negro in the lower House of Con-
gress and emphasized that unless the
threats of colored voters, made when
the Dyer bill was being debated in the
House of Representatives, to defeat
every Congressman who voted against
the bill, if it lay within theis power,
that colored voters might as well keep
their mouths shut in the future unless
men like Mr. Parker were defeated.
This action against Mr. Parker is in
fine with efforts being made by the
Advancement Association against Con-
gressman Patrick J. Kelley, of Michi-
gan, and Caleb R. Layton, of Dela-
ware, who were the only* Congress-
men from their repective states, like
Mr. Parker, who voted against the
Dyer bill, The Association’s letter
signed by James Weldon Johnson,
secretary, follows:
“On Januaty 26th when the House

Five prominent while men at Macon, Ga, have been indicted for lynching John (Cocky) Glover recently by the Bibb County Grand Jury, Glover was lynched in Monroe County, Georgia, after he had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Walter C. Byrd, who was attempting to place Glover under arrest.
The five men indicted are among the most prominent men in Macon. Herbert Block, one of them, is manager of the Hotel Demsey, the leading hotel in Macon. H. L. McSwain, another of the men indicted, is president of the Southern Co-Operative Fire Insurance Company. N. Unice is a merchant, and Guy Jones is a city fireman. The fifth man indicted was unarmed as he had not been located, living fled from town. Bond was set at amounts ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 each. Other indictments are expected to follow.
The indictment charging rioting
read in part:
"Block: McSwain, Unise and the other party, did unlawfully and with force and arms together with persons unknown to the grand jury do a certain unlawful act of violence towit; Take from William Branan, a deputy sheriff, and from J. L. Mullally, a deputy sheriff, a certain prisoner lawfully in charge of these officers, John Glover alias 'Cocky' Glover, for the purpose of mobbing and lynching Glover, and did in a violent and tumultuous manner, after taking Glover in charge transport him across the line between Monroe and Bibb counties for the purpose of lynching and killing Glover."
The N. A. A. C. P. is carefully following these indictments to see if trials and convictions follow, or if the indictments are not to be pressed as has been the custom in the few cases where lynchers have been indicted in Southern states.

Chattanooga, Tenn.—The Ku Klux Klan, which has been responsible for the secret circulation of a spurious document purporting to be the genuine official oath of the Knights of Columbus got a set-back here last Tuesday when the Reverend Father F. T. Sullivan publicly announced in the local daily papers that "Five Thousand Dollars was on deposit in the First National bank of Chattanooga, Tenn., and would be donated to any person who would show that the 'alleged bloody oath of the Knights of Columbus' is not a cruel, cowardly and fake oath."
It is said that klansmen are using the fake oath to plant the seeds of religious hatred in the minds of the more illiterate of the people in this vicinity and have even been able in some instances to really convince some of the better informed citizens that the oath is genuine.
It is claimed that Catholics are not as easily terrorized as Negroes and the nefarious Ku Klux organization is trying to engender hatred against the Catholics through the secret circulation of this lake oath.
CLAIMS KLAN ORDERED AD
CONTRACT KILLED
St. Louis, Mo.-According to reports, Robert I. Young, of St. Joseph, Mo., candidate for nomination for United States Senator on the Democratic ticket, says: "I received a notice from the Ku Klux Klan to remove a campaign advertisement which I had contracted for insertion in the Jewish Record, a local Hebrew language newspaper. The reason given in the Klan letter was 'because the Jew is after the almighty dollar and to hell with the country.'" It is said that officials of the paper announced that suit will be filed against Young to collect the sum of money due the paper under the contract.
Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Bradley, 3849 S. State street, will leave this coming Monday on a two weeks' vacation trip for Battle Creek, Mich., Idlewild, Mich., and other points in Cass county, where there are many friends of Dr. Bradley, who own some splendid highly cultivated farms.
