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

• but kept him in jail till
morning.
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.

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.
