LA. KLAN PROBE CONTINUES VOL. I, NO. 51 J. W. JOHNSON SAYS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR DYER BILL WANTED Johnson Serves Notice That Substitute for Dyer Bill Is Not Acceptable. CLAIMS LYNCHING FACTS ARE KNOWN IN AMERICA Proposed Commission Calculated to Delay Action on Bill or Arrouse False Hopes New York, Jan. 5.—Proposal by Republican senators to institute a commission for the purpose of investigating lynching in the United States has elicited a sharp letter to Senator Frelinghuysen, author of the resolution, from James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., in which notice is served that a substitute for the Dyer bill will not be acceptable to colored people. Mr. Johnson's letter asserts that the essential facts concerning lynching in America, are known throughout the world, that a commission to "investigate" will be interpreted only as a plan to delay action and to "jull the nation and the Negro with false hopes." The letter in full is as follows: December 21, 1922. Hon. Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. My dear Senator Frelinghuysen: I wish to confirm my telegram of today as follows: Your letter with enclosure received. Have given the matter careful study. Am writing you giving reasons why we do not consider proposed measure adequate. I request that you delay action until you receive my letter. I have carefully examined your proposed Joint Resolution establishing commission for the purpose of conducting a general inquiry into the subject of lynchings in the United States, including the number occurring and the causes thereof. We would interpose no active opposition to any steps leading toward the abolishment of the crime of lynching but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this case as in a half dozen similar proposals in the past is unable to see any necessity whatsoever for such a commission, nor can we endorse the proposed measure as a substitute for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Such a commission as you propose could gather only statistics and facts such as have already been presented by this association and other agencies and which have been repeatedly and at great length read into the Congressional Record, where they are available to the United States Senate as well as to other citizens. The essential facts in regard to lynching are well known and undisputed. The gathering of such facts for an additional year would have no appreciable effect upon the question. We would, therefore, view this commission plan, with its year of investigation, only as a further delay to the one thing we believe to be essential in the circumstances, and that is legislation giving the Federal government jurisdiction where states fall, as they have failed in the past thirty-five years, to secure the persons accused of crime trial by due process of law, or to prosecute and punish members of mobs. This commission plan, therefore, seems calculated only to delay action or lull the nation and the Negro with false hopes. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will not be actively interested in a commission to investigate lynching. Rather, we insist upon a revision of the Senate rules of procedure and the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. Yours very truly, (Sgd) JAS. WELDON JOHNSON, Secretary.

THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN 1910 When her father was missing after a raid by masked men at Mer Rouge, La., Leota Richards, 3, went to Baton Rouge, state capital, accompanied by her mother, and tearfully begged Gov. John M. Parker to find her daddy. The governor started a probe, under cover of militia machine guns, which found Leota's daddy—a mutilated corpse at the bottom of Lake La Fourche—uncovered another slaying and now promises to lead to indictments against 45 citizens. Cohen May Have To Wait Weeks For New Office If Walter Cohen, New Orleans, ever assumes the duties of office of comptroller of customs here, it will not be until well along in next year, according to information from Washington last night. The dispatches say that this was made certain yesterday when the Senate committee on commerce deferred consideration of the case until after the holidays. Cohen held the office for a few weeks under a recess appointment, but was compelled to relinquish it when the Senate in the recent special session of Congress failed to confirm his appointment.

Chicago Riots To Cost City Over $500,000 Chicago, Ill., Jan. 5.—The 1919 race riots will cost Chicago more than $500,000 in addition to its share of the expense of maintaining 6,000 state troops nine days, it was estimated last week, after eighteen death claims aggregating $81,000 were approved by the city council's finance committee. The city previously had paid $20,800 for five other deaths. Fifteen death claims remain unsettled. During the riots, according to an investigation commission, 543 persons were injured, 178 white, 348 colored, and seventeen of unidentified race. Noted Newspaperman to Visit the N. W.

Governor Parker's Fight on Ku Klux Praised by Hylan Governor Parker's Fight on Ku Klux Praised by Hylan Telegram From Mayor Hylan Commends State Executive in Fight Against Klan. New York, Jan. 5.—In a telegram to Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana, Mayor Hylan commended the state executive for his fight against the Ku Klux Klan. The mayor referred to the discovery of the bodies of two supposed Klan victims in Lake La Fourche and characterized the Klan as "a slimy brood of venomous reptiles." His telegram read in part: "Hon. John M. Parker, Governor of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, La.: On behalf of the people of the City of New York and ever other man and woman in this American Republic who are determined that law and order shall be maintained by the duly constituted authorities without interference on the part of a slimy brood of venomous reptiles, squirming in an invisible empire, I most heartily congratulate you on your bold, vigorous fight against the Ku Klux Klan organization. "I believe that every man and woman, regardless of race, creed or color, owes you an undeed debt for your heroic American fight to end the infamous outrages to which the members of the Ku Klux Klan will resort in their nefarious schemes to overawe the courts, seize the reins of government and trample upon the constitutional rights of the people. "Fair-minded Americans acknowledge that there are good and bad in all races and all religious denominations. The thing to do is to get the good people, regardless of race, color or creed, to work together for the peace, unity, and good will and the honor and safety of the most beneficent form of government every bequeathed to man. As a step in this direction we must stand together for the elimination of the outstanding menace in our Republic. You have blazed the trail in the march for the preservation of our dear motherland. All God-fearing Americans who appreciate the priceless heritage of our traditions and institutions cannot fail to be enlisted in this good cause and to form behind you a solid phalanx. "JOHN F. HYLAN." DULUTH Mrs. Thompson of the Normal school spent the Xmas holidays in St. Paul with her sister and reports a very pleasant time.

Walker Wilson Sued By Husband Husband Asks for $25,000.00 in Controversy Over Real Estate Deal New York, Jan. 5.—Dr. W. M. Wilson filed a counter-claim in Supreme court asking permission to retain possession of a house at 108 and 110 West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, which his wife, Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson, heir to Mme. C. J. Walker, founder of the famous Madame Walker Company of Indianapolis, has endeavored to have returned to her through legal action. The counter claim states that Dr. Wilson wishes to establish a sanitorium in the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street house and asked that it be turned over to him free or a mortgage of $15,000 and with $10,000 additional to pay for the remodeling necessary. Mrs. Wilson alleged that her husband had purchased the property in his own name with her money and has refused to return either money or property to her. The Wilsons have been separated nearly a year and Mrs. Wilson has spent much of her time abroad. Young Man Cruel To Mother Jailed For the Holidays Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 5.—"A young man who is too lazy to get out of bed and go to work and has the impudence to abuse his poor mother when she tries to get him out of bed in time for work, deserves to spend the holidays in jail where he will probably learn to get up when called," said Judge Seider when he passed sentence of 60 days in jail on Alonzo Harrington last Friday morning. According to the testimony young Harrington was consistently cruel to his mother and sister for trying to get him up in time to go to work. Harrington was charged with beating his mother Mrs. Eliza Malze, when she commanded him to get out of bed and go to work. He admitted to the court that he had not worked since last summer. On Xmas night Rev. J. A. Myers and family of Memorial Baptist Church were the recipients of a shower of groceries given by the members of the church, while on December 28th many former members and friends from Zion Baptist Church in Minneapolis tendered him with a neat purse and brought tidings of appreciation for his former services there. PRICE, 5 CENTS TROOP OF CAVALRY PATROLS LA. TOWN DURING THE PROBE TROOP OF CAVALRY PATROLS LA. TOWN DURING THE PROBE State Pushes Investigation of Mysterious Double Murder by Hooded Mob TENSION RUNNING HIGH; MANY ARRESTS EXPECTED Klan Investigators Also at Work —Attorney General Arrives to Conduct Hearing. Bastrop, La., Jan. 5. —Moorehouse parish stalks under the shadow of violence while the state government of Louisiana, aided by the U. S. Department of Justice continued to investigate the "hooded murders" longside the mysterious investigators of the Ku Klux Klan. A troop of cavalry is patrolling this little town where the state started today an open hearing on the brutal double murder of Watt Daniels and Thomas F. Richards of Mer Rouge by a "hooded mob" last August. The cavalry arrived in the early dawn from Jennings, La., as reinforcements for the three other detachments of national guardsmen already patrolling the parish. The feeling of tension which has existed throughout the countryside for weeks was considerably heightened by the arrival of the mounted troops. Rumors fled from lip to lip that their presence meant the launching of sweeping "wholesale arrests" of men connected with the "hooded mob" murders. Federal agents who are gathering evidence in support of the state's case declared there would be no sensational roundup of suspects for the present. Attorney General Coco, heading the state's staff of prosecutors, was expected to arrive at Mer Rouge during the day for a conference of state and federal officials. The disappearance of Harold Teegerstrom, a government witness, was as much of a mystery as when he dropped out of sight after being called to the door of his dwelling in Spyker, a town near here. Federal agents continued to charge he had been kidnapped by Ku Klux Klansmen and spirited out of the state. Investigators employed by the Ku Klux Klan were also reported at work in the parish preparing a defense case for Dr. B. M. McKoin, now held at Baltimore charged with complicity in the "hooded mob" murders. Shipstead Says Time Not Ripe For Third Party Shipstead Says Time Not Ripe For Third Party Washington, Jan. 5. — Political parties that live are born in the heat of the crucible. They spring out of unrest, longings, demands from great bodies of dissatisfied people—when the boiling point is reached. This is the answer of Dr. Henrick Shipstead, Farmer-Labor Senator Elect from Minnesota, to all current rumors that a third party of national proportions is imminent in view of the recent elections. "Until there are issues developed to the boiling point, issues which strike at the welfare of the nation, there can be no so-called third party." Dr. Shipstead told a group of Negroes last Saturday. BUTLER SWORN IN AS SUPREME COURT JUSTICE Washington, Jan. 5.—Pierce Butler, St. Paul, was sworn in as associate justice of the supreme court January 2.

DEALING WITH THE SOLICITOR Seeral years ago the St. Paul Association of Commerce adopt- ed a measure designed to protect its members from the onslaught of public’solicitors. The measure provided that no member, in- dividual or firm should give to any solicitor for any cause or pur- pose unless the purpose of such solicitation had the endorsement of the association. Almost immediately after its adoption the good effects of the measure were apparent. Under this cover business men and business houses were no longer obliged to be victims of “the day in day out” army of solicitors who year after year collected hundreds of dollars for both worthy and unworthy pur- poses and benefits. Colored solicitors have fared extremely well at the hands of white donors but the purpose behind their solicita- tion has not always been found to be true and sound endangering the faith and confidence in giving for Negro benefit. Only re- cently the St. Paul Association saw fit to call in an endorsement for the solicitation of thousands of dollars for the establishment of acommunity center here which, had it become an actual realiza- tion would have been an asset to the community. But it failed— the proposition was filled with loop-holes. To retain the confidence of the white man in this matter of solicitation, the people of this community should recognize the opinion of its own business men regarding the advisability of al- lowing the proper solicitation before the white man is asked to give to it. With this end in view the St. Paul Negro Business League and the St. Paul Association have joined hands to elim- inate the evil and promote the good in this solicitation business for the benefit of the community as a whole. The cooperation of these two bodies in this line of public service will surely be bene- ficial. If nothing else, it means that our own business men and representative citizens in an organized way, may endorse or re- fuse to endorse any soliciting proposition proposed within our group and have it treated accordingly by the St. Paul Association.

Parker is determined that the guilty shall be apprehended, prosecuted and punished. He is bent on dealing a black eye to the Louisiana klan organization. Agents of the state department and Department of Justice are now at work conducting an investigation to ascertain whether or not the klan is responsible for these gruesome murders and the results promise to be one of the most sensational exposes of masked band operation ever unfolded in the south. After reading the story of the whole affair, there is little room for the placing the blame other than with the Ku Klux Klan. The organization stands for such lawlessness and is no doubt re- sponsible for the murders. Every fair-minded, loyal American citizen should support Governor Parker in his fight; it means the preservation of American law and order and the defeat of poison- eous klanism. We say, “go to it governor, and get the devils.” ARTHUR E. NELSON As mayor of the city of St. Paul, Arthur E. Nelson has proven himself te be a progressive, sound thinking and fair minded official. He has demonstrated that as a public servant his job is to him his best friend and like a particular caretaker is constantly seeking to improve his good office. He has stepped into office and made what seems to be a “powerless” office ring with the cords of authority. He is constantly proposing legislation and measures for a bigger and better St. Paul. We feel certain that Arthur E. Nelson will be successful as mayor of St. Paul and that under his leadership St. Paul will go through one of its most progressive periods. CONTEMPORARIES THE LOVE OF WORK Service to others is the bed-rock upon which civilization is founded. But service is too often a matter of barter; we do things only because we are paid to do them, and too often lose sight of the great principle back of our social and business relations. ‘The primeval man who helped another slay a deer doubtless expected a division of the carcass. Later, groups of men banded themselves together for individual betterment, but the earliest communities were held together by the bond of service to each other and to the community. The hunter shared his kill with others, while the hewer of wood and drawer of water was as in- dispensable as the patriarch whose job consisted of directing and overseeing the labor of the others. io Love of one’s work is comparable with the greatest joy of fe. The trouble lies in the fact that too many people drift—that is the only word I can use—into vocations for which they are physically or mentally unsuited. I know a man who received a college education, studied law, and was admitted to the bar, who finds the greatest enjoyment in working at day’s labor as a car- penter. He is a splendid carpenter. Jean De Reszke was only a passable baritone until he dis- covered, almost by accident, that he had been abusing his vocal cords, and developed himself into one of the greatest tenors of our day. There are barbers who would make splendid machinists ; there are elevator operators whose opportunities would be great as missionaries of God’s word. Some of these days, without doubt, the mental and physical equipment of the adolescent individual will have more attention than at present, with a view of placing the man where he should be. Our educational system, despite the great progress of the last century, has neglected opportunity in this direction. Too often the choice of a life’s vocation is a matter given but passing attention. The boy who gets a job as messenger in an office or store almost invariably get an idea that he is anchored to that a ee And the girls whose first job is de- Me high schook graduate should be a | ite le to choose his or her lle with-b fer dearest diaccinmation ad there ons or her aera ae boamcee eae perk sracessate The addi-| ‘vocational courses in many of our educa‘ institutions makes the choice easier.—The Examiner. nae eee eee ST.

Harding Asked To Stop Klan Paper New York Mayor Asks Harding Stop Publication From Awakening Race Prejudice. New York, Jan. 5.—President Harding Thursday was requested by Mayor Hylan to stop the publication of Colonel Mayfield's weekly Ku Klux Klan paper published in Texas. The request was made on the ground that the paper was deliberately disseminating race hatred. "There is a blatant display of race hatred and religious prejudice in this paper and considerable misstatements," the mayor wrote the President. "As an example of the latter Mayfield alleges in his newspaper that I have issued orders to the police to shoot klansmen. Such an accusation is both willfully wicked and absurd." Mayor Hylan attacked the Ku Klux Klan and their efforts to "awaken race prejudice," and concludes: "Is it not the duty of federal authorities to check the activities of those who would destroy the peace and happiness and prosperity of the people of this nation. Does there not rest upon them the inexorable duty of repressing every attempt to incite religious prejudice and racial hatred? I respectfully urge that if an examination of a complete file of the issues of Colonel Mayfield's weekly bears out the sinister motives for which this publication is apparently disseminated, official action be taken by the Attorney General and the Postmaster General to suppress the sheet and to proceed against its publisher, Earl B. Mayfield, the Democratic Senator elect of the state of Texas." So mebody Wuz Sayin' that— When "Kid Suspicious" closes "Hotel Green" due to the lack of funds to continue operations in all probability he will return and cultivate his Michigan "lots." Every time "Buddy" Fractions shoots a game of pool, unless he feels like giving something away, the other fellow might as well have his fun and put his hand in his pocket. Delicious salads and well fried spring chicken for a party of twelve is expensive but there's a certain young man to whom the bill for such a feed means nothing in his young life.
