Johnson, grand master of tho Cen
tennial Grand lodge of Missouri, An
cient Free and Accepted Masons, In
an address at tho' lodge's annual con
vention. "As tho Improsslon seems to pre
vail in somo sections," ho declared,
"that tho Masonic fraternity Is direct
ly or Indirectly associated, wtih tho
(kuklux klan) secret organization, it
Is well that tho peal of disapproval
bo positively placed by this grand
lodgo upon this oecrot organization.
"Wo cannot as Freo Masons and
good citizens recognize the right til
any socrot society or combination of
mon to asBumo tho right to administer

subvorslvo of our republican institu

of Freo MaBonry.
"An organization that practices cen

and enforces its secret' decrees with

Now York. A riot featuring pollco
brutality In which hundreds, Includ
ing women and children, were clubbed,
kieked and knocked down by charg
ing horses and motorcycles marked
tho opening of Urban Le-'oux's cam
paign to feed Now York's army of un
employed. The rioting and tho gen
oral curbing of his activities by tho
police caused Lcdoux to abandon his
Bchemo of auctioneering off jobless
men from tho stops of tho public li
brary on Fifth avenue at midnight.
Ledoux was stunned by tho demon
stration, and bitterly assailed tho po
lice for what ho terms a violation of
his constitutional rights. What his
furthor activities hero will bo Ib a
matter of conjecture.
Lodoux, or Mr. Zero, as he was
known during his recent Boston cru
sade, reached Bryant park shortly be
foro 1 o'clock with an escort of detoc
tlvcs, reporters and photographers
who had been following him about tho
city all morning. It was his Intention
to hold a meeting and givo food to
tho jobless In Bryant hall.
Beforo tho party reached tho park
gato at Sixth avenue, across from tho
hall, hundreds of jobless men who had
been rounded up from all parts of tho
city by "scouts" camo running in all
directions to Ledoux.
Then a special squad of police,
afoot and mounted, charged. Tho
shrieks of tho Jobless rang out as they
hurled themselves Into a whirling mob
and fought for a placo beside Ledoux.
No attempt was made to molest Lo
doux, who walked with Sergeant Ge
gan, of the bomb squad, at his side.
The crowd bulged out of the park and
swept Into Sixth avenue. Traffic was
halted by the crush. On every side po
licemen woro pushing, kicking and
clubbing to disperse the crowd.
Ledoux, with tho aid of Sergeant
Gegan, reached tho door of Bryant
hall and then was informed by Jacob
Goldstein, tho proprietor, that tho po
lice would not allow a meeting there.
Goldstein offered to return tho $50
paid for three hours' use of tho hall,
but Ledoux declined it.
The crowd rapidly increased, as
nearly 4,000 workers in nearby office
buildings poured Into tho street. The
police asked Lcdoux to go away. He
started down Sixth avenue, looking
for a taxlcah. Then tho real riot be
gan. Many were grabbed, pushed and
kicked into tho crowd. In tho mean
time the crowd was growing and jeer
ing the police.
From below Fortieth street a cry of
warning was hoard as the mounted
police charged again. This time they
were reinforced by officers driving
motorcycles with side cars that thun
dered Into the crowd with their cut
outs open. Tho roar of tho motors
and the screams of women and chil
dren caught In the crush created a
.bedlam.
Finally the police pushod Ledoux
through Thirty-ninth street to Broad
way, whero he entered a taxlcab and
soon the crowd had been dispersed.
