Atlnnf.n Hn.?Rvjimination of the

whether or not there has been
anything sinister in the movements
of sveeral German "hikers" walkinv
over the United States in the past
two years and a half. The police say
they told them they were walking
around the world on a bet. Newspaper
clippings with photographs show

NEGROES^DEFRAUDED ;
IN MIGRATION GAME:
Mobile, Ala.?Seven negroes arcunder
aiTest here charged by the police
with defrauding 625 of their race
who paid for membership in a socalled
"can't-get-away-club." The
promoters of the scheme, the police
charged, promised to transport the 4
negroes to Philadelphia, the "land
and promise," where they could earn
from $3 to $6 per day, where work j
was plentiful and where "equal c
rights" were to be obtained. The (
membership fee was $3 and for that c
sum transportation from Mobile to
Philadelphia "in special cars" was j
promised. Many of the victims made ^
weekly payments and last night j
was the time set to get "final in ^
structions." j
Next Saturday was the date set,'
for the special cars to leave. Four of
the alleged leaders were arrested as
they were boarding a train. They
had mileage to Cincinnati. According
to thfc police, considerably over
$j,000 was taken from the "can'tget-away"
membership, but $935 in
cash and certified checks on a local
bank were recovered.
