KLAN TACTICS SUCCEED IN KEEPING COLORED OUT OF ELABORATE COAST CLUB PROPRIETOR PROSTRATED WHEN SUBJECTED TO FALSE ARREST Los Angeles, Aug. 3( ANP) — Determined by fair means or foul to prevent Charles Braumbaugh from welcoming colored patrons to his elaborate Lake Shore Thea tre cafe, unidentified persons, sus pected of being Klansman, pot only succeeded but nearly caused the death of the fair-minded, wealthy septegenarian. Mr Bauinbaugh’s swanky night spot figured in the national news two weeks ago when led by John Longfeather, publisher of the Westlake Post, a number of self appointed “vigilantes” decreed they would not permit him bo turn the place over to colored on Sunday night-. Changing the policy of the entertainment which was old style melodrama on the order of "The Drunkard,” with an all-white cast, he had engaged Quintard Miller to stage musical comedies with the finest of color ed musicians, artists and chorus girls. Wi ih Eunice Wilson, Flen noy Miller, Marcus Slayter, Man tan Moreland, Edith Turnham, Florence Cadre and her jubilee singers, big band and chorus, ready for the grand opening after two weeks’ rehearsal, a commit tee of objectors stated their de sires to Mr. Braumbaugh. Upon ignoring their suggestions and denouncing them as narrow and unAmerican, Longfeather used his tree distributed advertising tabloid to call a mass meeting to ' keep the only white spot in Ix>s Angeles pure.” At that meeting seemingly a plan was formulated to frame a charge against Mr. Braumbaugh and by causing his arrest prevent <the opening of the colored show and patronage by colored citizens. Lakte that night plain clothes officers came to the Braumbaugh residence and awakened him. Telling him they had a little mat. ter for him to straighten out at the police station, they insisted that it would not wait until morn ing and drove away with him. Thinking he would only be de tained a short time, he did not1 mention to nn wue wnere ne was going, but told her be would be back shortly. As soon as they were in the car, the officer attitude changed, and according to Mr. Braumbaugh they became very abusive. They accused him of operating without a license, selling after hours and made many disparaging remarks about bis “type of people.” Ar riving at the jail, he was thrown among nondescript drunks. Al though he had one check in his •pocket $15,000 an<{ another for 5500 besides considerable cash, they would not allow him to make CHICAGO FURNITURE COMPANY “Where Thrifty Folks Buy” Furniture, Rugs, Floor Cover ings & Stoves JA. 4411 1833-35 N. 34th Evening Phone WE. 2261 Folks!

When he was finally released and went home, the experience* proved too much for the 76 year id 1 man, and he collapsed from a lieai 1: attack, later recovering. A suit for false arrest is expected to be laun.-hed against the city in the near future. Mr. Braumbaugh is a retired mining promoter, still with large Arizona holdings, and invested thousands of dollar* in •lifting up ;he Lake Shore cafe. The arrest coup by the "vigil ante .” prevented the opening. Quintard Miller dismissed his show troupe and the place remain ed idle for two weeks until Mr. Braumbaugh allowed two white promoters to reopen under the foinier system of melodrama on tho large stage. However, he de clares he is nrt licked, and intend* to not only put in a colored revue but also admit colored as he had planntd at first. -nOn-.

THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE A feller does not need much of a memory to hark back to when it was next door neighbor to being a disgrace, to be a beggar. But this world, she 'moves, and fast. And times change. And now, being a beggar, it is a badge of distinction. LikP if you are a May or of some city and you go down to Wash., and you can scare up for them, and they give you 2 millions to build a bigjger fish pond in your park, you are some pumpkins. And you get re-elected your ownself—at next election. And if you only get one mil lion instead of 2 million, you are a poor excuse of Mayor. And with Governors, it is like wise. And the money they dish up* down there in Old Bazoo City, it is our own money in the first place. We are a great outfit, thinking: we are getting something from the other guy. It is a kind of ting-around the rosy like back in P. T. Barnuim’s time; and when we get home, we are the yokel again_and our watch and chain, they are misfir ing'. Yours, with the low down.
