Read Mexican situation as seen From the Eastern Hemisphere watch our Next Issue for Con- --- Volume 27 While in El Paso I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. J. B. Williams, an efficient officer in the United States Customs House. He is one of the organizers of the El Paso Lyceum, a forum supported by the citizens of El Paso for the discussion of such problems as affect the destiny of all the people. Mr. Williams is a progressive young man and it is his ambition to stimulate the younger element of the race with high, patriotic ideals of citizenship. The Lyceum meets every Sunday afternoon in the Masonic Temple and it is well attended. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Arthur Kirby in El Paso. This brilliant young man has had considerable experience in Mexico. He is a refugee from Torreon, and for a number of years was engaged in that city in the manufacture of soap. Mr. Kirby informed me that Mexico will, immediately after the present difficulties are settled, offer marvelous opportunities to the American Negro. He spoke very enthusiastically about the cordial relations existing between the Negro and the Mexican; that in Mexico the black man gets a fair and square deal. He placed special emphasis on the statement that all the Negro's rights in the United States are held most precariously, and urged that the great mass of the self-respecting colored people would gladly seek home and fortune in a land where no door of social or industrial preferment would be closed to them, and where they could be free to work out a civilization and a national life of their own. Mr. Kirhy told me a most thrilling story of a narrow escape from death during the revolutionary campaign around Torreon. On leaving Ei Paso I was brought face to face with the "Jim Crow" car proposition. This "Jim Crow" car law is the disgrace of the Southern states. Texas is called the "Lone Star State." It is the largest state in the Union. It covers an area of 265,780 square miles, is 800 miles in length and 750 miles in breadth. It is the state of large possibilities. Along the wake of the Brazos River lies what is called the Brazos Bottoms, and in these bottoms is found the "Black Belt." The "Jim Crow" car laws of the state shine out as the buckle which holds this "Black Belt" to the soil; and this belt is wide and strong. The oppressive and iniquitous legislation of Texas exhibited in its most glaring form, finds its top-notch of meanness in the "Jim Crow" car law. This law represents a state of mind not at all creditable to the citizens of a civilized and christian state. For this "Jim Crow" car law of Texas has worked untold hardship, humiliation, injustice and inconvenience upon thousands of self-respecting Negro men and women who have had occasion to travel in the state. While the law requires equal accommodation for white and colored passengers, this law is violated with impunity every day in the year. The "Jim Crow" car is never as good as the other coaches, and it is never as clean. This car is usu- CALIFORNIA tinuation of Article ally an old, dilapidated coach, one-half of which is used for a smoking car for white passengers; and it is attached to the baggage car, exposing the colored passengers to greatest risk and danger. But there are other wicked things to complain of in this connection, chief among them is the discrimination in the matter of eating and sleeping accommodations. The Negro passenger is not supposed to either eat or sleep while traveling in Texas. That the legislature was mean enough to pass such unjust law, the railroad companies might save the Negro patron further insult by making the conditions under which he must travel more tolerable by extending courteous treatment, furnishing sanitary cars, and complying with the requirements of the law. Texas is a great state. It is immense. It covers a tremendous territory. Its people represent all classes and all races. Not all the white people are bad; not all the colored people are good. There are good and bad in each race—some are worse. This was my first trip to the state, but I had my mental picture of the state and the people. I have been somewhat agreeably disappointed. My impressions were gained from reading newspaper and magazine articles. "Gather expected to find some wild acting people, just as I expected to find them in California when I first came to this golden country; but I find that the people of Texas are precisely like the people of other Southern states. There are some God-fearing, liberty-loving, "salt-of-the-earth" people in Texas just as there are in other states, and there are some big sinners down there that will find it hard to get into heaven even when Peter has his back turned. In the "Jim Crow" car running out of El Paso going east was a Negro prisoner chained to his seat with chains binding both hands and feet; it was a sad and melancholy spectacle. I observed that the white officer who had been sent from Louisiana to Los Angeles to capture this prisoner remained with him and shared all of the discomforts of the car. This was a demonstration of the theory that in order to hold the other fellow down in the gutter you must remain down with him. I talked with this prisoner during the temporary absence of the officer and he told me that he was caught in Los Angeles; that he had gone without sleep for forty-eight hours. As I traveled through the great state from the extreme west to east. I observed that the western section of the state of Texas is not very attractive; there is much worthless land. The desert through which I passed has the same cheerless and dull appearance as the barren wastes of New Mexico, Arizona and parts of the valley lands of California. After riding all day and night Friday, I reached the beautiful little city of Austin, the capitol of the state at noon on Saturday. Concerning this city and its hospitable people I shall have much to say in another chapter of this narrative. (To be continued) Los Angeles, Cal., MAY 16, 1914 THE WORLD'S FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES MRS. A. M. MALONE (MRS. A. M. POPE-TURNRO) and MISS MANDELLE McMURRAY, her private secretary for seven years, from a late pose in their traveling costume. Mrs. Malone will address the Y. M. C. A.

The veterans will attend in a body. MEETING FOR WOMAN'S DAY NURSERY The Woman's Day Nursery Association is rendering the people of Los Angeles very valuable service, and this service is highly appreciated by all who know of the work. The colored people are to be congratulated upon the fact PAGE that this splendid organization of women has been able to secure the services of such distinguished men as Judge N. P. Conrey of the Court of Appeals, Judge Waldo M. York, well known as a true friend of the Negro, and Mr. Reyold E. Blight, a member of the Board of Education, to speak under the auspices and for the benefit of the Association on Sunday afternoon, May 17, at 3 o'clock sharp. Judge Conrey will take for his subject, "Elements of Righteous Government," while Judge York and Mr. Blight will speak of the importance of woman's work in the city. The meeting will be held in Wesley Chapel and everybody is invited to attend. It is not often that Judge Conrey can be induced to speak outside of the court room, but he is deeply interested in the work of the Day Nursery and has consented to give his time on this occasion to this noble cause. It is expected that the colored people will come out in large numbers and crowd Wesley Chapel to hear these distinguished speakers and listen to the fine musical program. Mrs. J. A. Somerville, president, and Mrs. R. E. Banks, secretary, in the name of the Association urge that all the people come at 3 POPE TURNBO) and MISS MANDELLE for seven years, from a late pose in alone will address the Y. M. C.

Among the musical numbers will be a special solo by Miss Minnie Albritton. Evetyone should see the new minister at the Washington and Central avenue hall next Wednesday evening. Something new funny and instructive. Come. EAGLE An African On The following is what we consider a very excellent article on the Mexican situation, from the pen of BAGAN DozHI, a full-blooded African, taken from the "The African Times and Oriental Review." It shows the writer to have a keen insight as to matters political and otherwise on the Western Hemisphere, and we know our readers will enjoy reading this literary gem: AMERICA AND MEXICO BY BAGAN DOZHL America is at war with Mexico, and the world watches the methods and works of the land of slavery and churches, Republicanism and aristocratic ambitions, with peculiar interest. Behind the American cry of "prestige" and "national pride" lies a dark amalgam of facts, figures and artificial indignation waiting the analysis of history. But the unequal and inconsequent events which have culminated in this war indicate that the core of that amalgam is economic greed, that sole surviving offspring of the slavery-born monopoly which alone, through fear of heredity and perpetual restraint, made the United States a Republic. The appearance, two years ago, of Lord Murray in Mexico in the interests of a private English enterprise teased the rivalry of a similar American adventure into the acute form whose development unmasked to the world two camps; one with Lord Murray as the protagonist of British ambitions in Mexico, and the other with Mr. Rockfeller as the protagonist of American hopes in the same city. It is not at present necessary to enter into the detail of Lord Murray's withdrawal from a position which was already assuming all the forms of preventable national discord between England and the United States. But, suffice it to state, that his withdrawal from the oilfields of Mexico left Resident Huerta no alternative but the defence of the concession he had granted to Lord Murray, while it accentuated the claim to preference of the American Standard Oil Trust (a concession granted by Gen. Villa of the same area). The coincidence of these two concessions and the question of their validity roused political feeling in England and America that no government would like to openly endorse, and so the rival claims of Lord Cowdray and Mr. Rockefeller became enveloped by the dark underground forces which have inflated the "flag incident" to the dimensions of a national calamity. Strong allegations of the murder of American and English residents in Mexico failed to induce the slightest apprehension in America that their national prestige and pride were being assailed or even menaced. But the justifiable arrest of American marines landed on the soil of a foreign independent state for which unqualified, though not unmerited, apology was tendered, roused President Wilson to the high water mark of presidential anger, and he has ordered the armed violence of the whole nation to punish one man whom he himself described as "person who styles himself President of Mexico." It is permissible to creditfes Pro Number 13 Mexican Situation or Wilson with sincerity, when he says "he is not waging war." "America is Mexico's friend," and "America is only fighting with a person who styles himself president," etc. The attitude is academic, detached, and particularly pedagogic. The opportunities of Mr. Wilson's life have only made him a schoolmaster, and as such one used to be obeyed by those under him. Where Professor Wilson as a college don expressed disapproval of the attitude of any student that attitude must be abandoned, even though it enjoyed the unanimous support of the whole body of students. He would have punished any recalcitrancy in the matter by the rustication of the leader and his adherents and still say he was a friend to all his students, but was merely punishing a person "styling himself a leader" of the particular movement supposed. It was from this and similar academic and bucolic parochialities that Professor Wilson transferred his energies to the large duties and still larger responsibilities of the White House. He assumed this office primed with the well-known academic experiences that in the republic of letters authority does assert claim to infallibility. He is now faced with the truth that in the republic of men—and men are not letters—authority's assertion of political infailibility is made under a permanent threat of unpeaceful persuasion which means death to the "just and unjust" alike. The beautifully academic but politically farcical and meaningless attitude of the American Government in this affair illustrates the limitations of Americans to rule. Today within the borders of the United States live ten million Black Americans taxed, rack-rented, educated, patriotic, habitually lynched and practically devoid of votes and the right to live. Has Professor Wil- LEWIS K. BEEKS Louis K. Beeks, graduate of Los Angeles high school, local editor California Eagle, and conspicuous in church and social reform in this city, was signally honored this week by the Southern California Alumni Association when he was awarded the California Scholarship in the College of Arts and Sciences of Howard University by that body. We heartily congratulate that body because of their ability to recognize true worth. We do not believe in the doctrine of flattery concerning our young people or race, but our past association with young Mr. Beeks in the newspaper work for nearly five years, has given us an opportunity to not only study his ability along journalistic and other lines, but to detect in him the true qualities of the essential elements in real manhood.

HOUSTON Mr. H. S. Houston, who conducts one of the finest torsorial establishments of its kind on the Pacific Coast, is not only one of the leading business men of Bakersfield but is a man who faithfully represents his people in a thoroughly honorable and upright manner. He is now serving as a deputy county clerk for Kern county, a position that is not held by another member of our race in the state. The Eagle is glad at all times to exploit the accomplishments of members of our race of the sterling worth of Mr. Houston. He is a strong force in the political field and has the confidence of the leaders in his district. We predict bright things for him in the future. Misses Lottie and Tillie Truitt are visiting, from Fresno. Mrs. H. S. Huston entertained B. T. C. Friday afternoon. The afternoon was spent in sewing. Those present were Mrs. F. E. Washington, Mrs. A. H. Drisdon, Mrs. W. Storey, Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters, Mrs. Clara B. Howard, Mrs. H. S. Huston. Last Wednesday Major F. W. West entertained the Mothers' Golden West Club. Miss Annetta McLanahan gave a reception in honor Misses Lottie and Tillie Truitt at the home of Miss Clara Acheson. The evening was spent in music and dancing.

We hope for her a speedy recovery. Rev. Harbert, the A. M. E. presiding elder, held quarterly conference at Cain's chapel Monday evening. A goodly number were present. Rev. Harbert congratulated all departments on the good work they were doing. Rev. Harbert, Rev. Mrs. J. W. Price and Miss Beatrice Gilliam left on the Owl for Stockton to attend the convention. Miss Chestella Dangerfield, the fashionable modiste who is with one of the leading modistes in this CANNOT BE IMPROVED city, has been spending a few days at home. A letter was received from Miss Louise Dangerfield of Qundaro College, stating she was getting along beautifully in her studies. Prof. Kealing writes the mother, Mrs. B. Dangerfield, of her wonderful talent in music and wishes her to devote most of her time to piano. Miss Dangerfield possesses a mellow contralto voice with a wonderful range. Mme. Jetta Davis' recital here last Thursday night as a reader surpassed all reports. She is certainly one of the best in her line today. Mrs. A. Pearson deserves great credit for bringing such an artist to our city. We are sorry to say it was so poorly attended, and was for a good cause—Golden West Club. The Domestic Club gave a dance Monday evening at Winter's Hall. Good music, first class order and a good time. Why? Mr. J. J. Pinkey, manager, who is always happy.

Washington, were entertained at dinner Thursday. J. D. Gordon, who was to have been a member of the party, was conspicuous by his absence. Miss Lillian Simpson, leading hat maker of Hockheimer's, is taking a vacation. The 22nd of May, "The Living Pictures" will be repeated. Mrs. J. W. Price. The musical by the young people of White Temple last Sunday evening was a grand success. Mrs. E. Pinkney is planning to leave in a few weeks for Paso Robles to join her husband.

Nick Chiles, seems in a fair way to swallow democracy in Kansas; but maybe there are not so many jobless men and as high a cost of living back there as here. His article, however, is a good one but has a hollow sound. Because the owners of the mines in Colorado were not allowed to conduct their own business as they saw fit, it has wrought serious conditions. The National Guard, as a result of their coming the Ludlow horror, and now the U.S. army is in charge, the officers and members of the National Guard on trial for murder and a threatened impeachment of the governor of the state. Bishop Walters, who has been in retirement as a political prophet, just as soon as Judge Tyrell was confirmed as judge for the District of Columbia, comes out of his shell and not only says I told you so, but is prophesying for better things from the administration at Washington further on. --- If the democratic administration in Kansas can let down the bars and give to the colored nurses places in their state institutions we do not see why our supervisors here could not give to them the right to work in the county hospital, for the state we expect nothing from the Johnson Jim Crow administration. THEY NO LONGER LISTEN TO TRUE DOCTRINE It seems that we have reached that stage in history when true gospel offends. Men will not listen to the truth because the truth is light and life, and their deeds are dark. In the journalistic and other walks of public life one must flatter and practice deception with his friends and foes alike if he would even hope to be popular. But this pressing demand of deception by the masses does not eliminate the need of true worth. An edict has gone forth asking for men of true worth and valor to war against the fickleness of a century. Men who have convictions and will dare to hold to them in the face of fiery criticism. "Be not like dumb driven cattle; be a hero in the strife, still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait." Even though you are a member of a race but fifty years up from slavery, you are entitled to the same consideration as a free thinker as any other man. Some one has said that the other man has deprived us of our rights and privileges as American citizens, but with those gone we still enjoy the rights of free air and soil. MUTILAT Continued from first page. son ever shown that a race whose fidelity and labor made America possible deserves civic and human rights? Does the Mexican "flag affair" bear any comparison to the contempt, ridicule, and defiance which American prestige and national pride suffer South of Mason and Dixon line? The profanities and amusing banalities of middle-class Government are quietly materializing some drastic correction of American misconceptions in the matter of public and private rights. Dollar Kings and Pork Kings and other industrial blue, bloods are rapidly moving towards the light which will show them that Washington will show them that Washington is purely a necessity to American independence. He was not thereby necessarily fit to govern America. Government has not as yet become a pressing necessity to the colonists; that Lincoln was merely a necessity to the enfranchisement of the African arms and hearts which made material and sentimental America possible in order to warn independent America against endangering her hard-earned independence and liberty by repeating against the African the identical treatment which induced the exodus from Europe; that if a Washington and a Lincoln continued a necessity to America then her place in the sun must be determined by the action of forces beyond her control; that America has now arrived at the stage in a nation's life when Government must be vested in a clean, strong and humane authority whose power and responsibility shall place it in perpetuity above the interests of private and selfish prejudices; that Presidents under the sum of partisan prejudices and senates tolerant of unlawful violence and susceptible to the influence of private, selfish interests as against the best interest of the State, cannot maintain the Government of a nation in honor and respect; and finally that it is righteousness and that alone which exealeth a nation. So let us be up and doing. But be not flattered by the progress already made, for there is yet much room at the top, and truth is the ladder by which we reach it. Wesley Chapel was crowded at three services on Sunday. At 11 a.m. m. the service in honor of "Mother" will never be forgotten. At 3 p.m. m. the church proved its claim of being the largest seating capacity church of color in the city. The Odd Fellows host was cared for and a great host of visitors.

Some eighteen months ago I came to Glendale, and after about two or three weeks here I could see this little town had a wonderful and progressive future, and learning that there was only one of my race owning property here I began to talk business with the real estate dealers here, and learned that all the propesty listed by them was covered by restrictions against colored people. This restriction I did not think seriously and would [Name] soon forget, and at this point I would be found trying again only to meet discouragements.

Several persons have been so benefited by attending the forum meetings that they have become members of some of our churches. Widows and orphans have received considerable attention at the hadn sof the people and large sums have been given the Old Folks Home at Watts and other institutions.

Los Angeles, is the only colored nursery conducted by women in the west. Mrs. J. A. Somerville is president. She has two nurses in charge. This nursery is for little colored children whose mothers are forced to work during the day and are cared for at the nursery for ten cents a day. If the mothers are unable to pay no charges are made. When the mother cannot obtain work in the city she may leave her little children at the nursery for an entire month for eight dollars. There is no restriction as to the race of the children cared for. I visited there last week and counted twelve little colored children and one little Spanish baby. These children ranged in ages from one year, I should judge, to about six or seven. When I entered the nursery one bright eyed little fellow ran to me saying "Papa, Papa." The nurse said "That is not your papa." By that time I had him in my arms. Everything was in a clean and sanitary condition. The Home is beautifully located, has a nice MUTILA MUTILATED PAGE of Scrap of Tips on ce Problem her Railroad Men arnish the Doings 5000 Railroad Running to and the Coast for THE TERS - WAIT HEFS - MAID RED CAPS HOTEL MEN, E front lawn and large back yard for the children to play in. While the nurse had her hands full, yet I did not hear one child cry. The officers of the Women's Day Nursery are planning an active campaign to raise eight hundred dollars to pay off a mortgage which they were forced to borrow to put the property in condition. Much could be said regarding this Home and the work. They hope and trust by bringing the work and its needs before the public that increased interest will be aroused in this most worthy charity and its aims may be successfully accomplished and carried out by way of any device, bequest, donation, gift or otherwise, such as some lady offering to found a kindergarten class which would occupy the minds of the little children and be of great assistance to the nurses. You should visit this Home. I never enjoyed such a welcome and pleasant visit. J. D. REYNOLDS. NUMBER OF COLORED PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY THE UNITED STATES By Burton K. Standish Washington, D. C., April 24. The race problem, even in these days of the vexing Mexican question and the free tolls muddle, is one that is taking its fair share of capital "spot light." The appointment by President Wilson of Robert H. Terrell, a negro, to Judge of the District Municipal Court, which southern senators are opposing, served to accentuate the stir in Congress over the bill introduced in the House by Representative Aswell of Louisiana pro viding for the segregation of TED P WATCH THIS SPACE white and black government clerks under the civil service. There are today 22,540 Negroes in the employ of the United States government who draw a total of $12,456,760 a year. Of these Negroes 4,426 are in the army, 1,529 are in the navy, and 2,140 are in various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 6,347, with an annual payroll of $4,099,116, are employed in Washington and the remainder work in government buildings throughout the United States. Twenty-seven Negroes are employed in the White House, 26 in the State Department, 926 in the Treasury, 170 in the War Department, 174 in the Navy Department, 87 in the Postoffice Department, 593 in the Interior Department, 43 in the Department of Justice, 164 in the Department of Agriculture, 239 in the Government Printing Office, 41 in the Interstate Commerce Commission, 115 in the Senate office building, 46 in the Congressional Library, 171 in the Washington Post office, 2,413 in the District of Columbia local government. In the department service outside of Washington 16 Negroes are employed in diplomatic and consular service, 1,082 in the Treasury branches, 2,342 in the War Department, 3,599 in the Postoffice Department, 102 in the Department of Agriculture and 775 miscellaneously. There are 635 Negroes employed by the government in New York, 670 in Chicago, 195 in St. Louis, from 40 to 90 in the large cities of the country and 14,130 in miscellaneous towns. Speaking for his segregation bill in committee, Representative Aswell explained that its object was CANNOT BE IMPROVED to make it unnecessary for white government employees, especially women, to work under or along side of Negroes in the departments. THIEF BEATEN WITH ICE PICK, SHOOTS SELF, San Francisco, May 11.—One of the boldest train robberies ever attempted in this part of the country was frustrated at midnight through the bravery of Albert Rendree, a colored porter on train No. 21, known as the "Coaster," from Los Angeles. Armed with only an ice pick, Rendree grappled with the bandit, who carried if a heavy revolver, and after a desperate struggle, struck the robber to the floor of the car. Realizing that capture was certain, the bandit broke away and raising his own revolver, shot himself in the cheek in an attempt to end his life. Failing in this, he leaped from the car and ran, but was captured by the Railroad Detective Willis Garbe and Detective Americo Cotecci of the local police department. Former Railroad Conductor At the Central Emergency hospital, where the wounded bandit was removed, it was found he had been shot a second time by one of the officers, who opened fire on him when he fled. When questioned by the officers he gave the name of James Hogue, and said he was a former railroad conductor. Further than this he refused to talk about himself. Hogue flagged No. 21 just after the train had emerged from tunnel No. 1, a short distance from the depot at Third and Townsend sereets. When the train came to a stop he boarded the rear car, and stepping through the door with leveled revolver ordered the passengers to throw up their hands and remain in their seats. He then started through the car, forcing the passengers to give up their money and valuables. Among those who were robbed before Hogue was attacked by Rendree were: Matt J. Brady, a contractor of this city, who gave up $50; W. Russell, "Busty" Cole, former city editor of the San Francisco Call, robbed of $30, a diamond ring and diamond stickpin; M. E. Reed of Paso Robles, who was relieved of $120 in gold and currency; Thomas Stephens, manager of the San Jose baseball team, who gave up a diamond ring, and Charles E. Temple of this city, from whom the bandit took $5. All the money and jewelry was recovered when Hogue was searched at the emergency hospital. It was just after the bandit had robbed Stephens that Rendree entered the car and, taking in the situation at a glance, ran into the diner and secured an ice pick, armed with which he re-entered the car where the robber was at work. Disregarding the order of the bandit to throw up his hands Rendree attacked Hogue, and after a struggle felled him with a was my guide for several months heavy blow on the head. Robber Shoots Self As he attempted to follow up his advantage, the robber struggled to his feet and raising the revolver shot himself in the cheek. Some of the passengers declare he attempted to end his life rather than submit to capture, while others say he shot himself accidentally in an effort to slay Rendree. VICTORY FOR RAILROAD TRAINMEN Indianapolis, Ind., April 17. Railroad trainmen won a victory in the courts here in the test case brought by the State Railroad Commissioners against the railroad company for violation of the state law governing a full crew upon passenger trains. The point in contention was to the effect that the porters were not capable the complainant proved, however that he had fully qualified and stood the best examination and performed his duties well and should not be discriminated against. Any discrimination should be unlawful and unconstitutional. The judge upheld the railway commissioners and decided that there should be no favoritism of races. R. Williams and R. J. Holloway of Chicago He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Prov. 27:27. THE SUPREME COURT HITS LOAN SHARKS HARD The Supreme Court has upheld the statute forbidding loan sharks to charge more than 2 per cent a month interest. The statute also makes unlawful any charges for recording, insuring or examining the property pledged or any other of the indirect means by which the sharks have evaded the restriction upon the amount of interest. Those unfortunate ones who have fallen into the maws of loan sharks since the passage of the law of 1913 can now easily extricate themselves. It should be known to everybody, also, that assignments of wages to these bloodsuckers are invalid. If you are being terrified and blackmailed on account of a foolish assignment of part or all of your wages just tell Mr. Shark to go elsewhere. He can't do anything to you. Individuals who prey on the necessities of the poor and hardworking are contemptible creatures. The decision of the Supreme Court against these vampires is good news. FOUR DEAD AND 30 IN- JURED IN WRECK JURED IN WRECK Decatur, III., May 5—Thirty passengers and trainmen were injured and four laborers were crushed to death tonight by the overturning of a sleeping car and the dining car of the Continental Limited train of the Wabash Railroad while entering Decatur. Two rear cars were thrown over while passing a piece of track under repair, falling on some of the trackmen. Several of the injured persons may be fatally hurt. Twenty of the passengers in the dining car were taken to a hospital. The food on the tables was thrown over the diners, several pappers The Order of Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa meets the First Monday evening of each month at Scott's Hall, 561 Central avenue. MORE TALK ABOUT THE McKINLEY PARK CHAU- TAUQUA That the young people's midsummer gathering (Chautauqua) at McKinley Park in Sacramento will be a success is now undisputable. Letters from all over the state are pouring in to the chairman and secretary of the Chautauqua committee, which bear encouraging news, asking for information concerning the great meeting that is to be held beginning June 23rd. Rev. W. M. Dixon, president of the Sacramento Valley District convention and Rev. G. W. Reed, chairman of the Chautauqua committee, have returned from the bay district, and they bring encouraging news from the ministers and laymen of that district as well as from the convention proper, as shown by the following resolutions passed at the session of the Bay District Convention Friday, April 24th: "Resolved. That the Bay District Baptist Convention, now in session at the Richard Clark Memorial (North Oakland), extends our sincere thanks and high appreciation to the Sacramento Valley Baptist Convention for their kind invitation to participate with them in their young folks summer outng, called Chautauqua, but since it is not convention to hold a session of our convention at the Chautauqua, therefore be it resolved that we recommend to the people of our churches and auxiliaries to avail themselves with a few days' attendance at this amusing and educational entertainment." This speaks volumes for the high regard that the ministers and people of the bay cities are holding for the coming Chautauqua. We also received a letter of encouragement stating that everybody of the bay cities are in harmony and in accordance with the Chautauqua and will be there. So enthused are the people of the Bay District in the Chautauqua that they are planning to run an excursion for the benefit of the large number that are desirous of attending. And further to show what interest is being manifested in the coming of this great gathering we hereby make public a letter from the moderator of the General Association endorsing the Chautauqua movement, which is as follows: San Francisco, Cal., April 23, 1914 To the Members of the General Association of California. I have been as Moderator of the General Baptist Association, with the Young People's Chautauqua committee and discussed and advised with them concerning the holding of the McKinley Park Chautauqua on June 23 to July 1st, and I am proud to say that I find the plans outlined for the carrying out of the project well laid and minus of selfishness, but with a spirit of education, religiously and morally, for the betterment of our people in general, and as Moderator of the Baptist General Association, I heartily approve of the movement and ask every Baptist throughout our associational field, as well as the public at large, to give to the Chautauqua movement their support and co-operation. I am yours for the uplift of our race, Rev. J. M. Riddle, Moderator of the General Baptist Association. Our Bro. G. W. Reed, who is the chairman and the man behind the gun, has returned from Hanford and he reports enthusiasm among the people at Hanford, and CHURCH PROVIDENCE BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH they as well as the people of the Bay District are preparing to run an excursion from that section of the state that the many who wish to attend the great mid-summer gathering of education and moral uplift may go. Everything is now ready. The price for admission, single ticket 10c, season ticket 50c, sleeping privileges, 25c a night. Meals and refreshments on th egrounds. The American river is near by for fishing. The croquet and lawn tennis grounds are in good shape. So keep this in mind, the days and the date. The people of Sacramento are busying themselves for the entertainment of the great host of people who they believe will attend the Chautauqua. The hospitality of Sacramento is well known; therefore, it is not necessary for us to deliberate upon that feature. The railroads have granted the one angl one-third fare for the round trip on the certificate plan beginning three days before the date of the Chautauqua and during two days after the date. Save your money and come with your family and enjoy this great outing. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST IN- INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH REV. ALFRED C. WILLIAMS. A. B., B. D., MINISTER.

E ZION CHURCH A HUGE SUCCESS On last Monday evening the great fair was duly opened with witness the coronation exercises at which time Miss Maud Roberts and her retinue, were inducted to the throne, over which she is to reign during the week. After a contest lasting several weeks for the honor of queen of the festival Miss Roberts won the coveted position. The opening exercises were splendid. Royalty was there with its robes and all was accomplished in state. After the opening exercises on Monday evening there was a special program for each evening and each evening had something new to offer. Wednesday evening the lebate was the feature, the subject, "Resolved, That Wealth Produces More Crime Than Ignorance," the affirmative by Rev. Sheath and Prof. Greer, the negative by Prof. Biggers and Miss C. A. Spear of the Eagle, was highly interesting and won by a close margin by the affirmative. The judges were Prof. Chas. Alexander, Rev. S. L. Harris, R. W Young, Dr. J. L. McCoy, Prof Green and J. B. Bass. The booths were grandly decorated and tastefully arranged. It was indeed a highly creditable effort and Dr. Byers and his congregation are entitled to great credit. [Name] FURLONG TRACT SECOND A. M. E.

THE GOLDEN WEST HOTEL While the public in general are very partial toward this popular hostelry, it is no wonder that they are when it is taken into consideration the great convenience and high credit that the same has brought to our city. High class in every respect, catering only to the best, they have set a high mark for negro enterprise employing more than a score of members of the race and each one striving to make the service of this famous cafe and hotel the very best. So this is one of the most potent reasons that the Golden West has gained such an enviable reputation.

It is better to buy in the lines of present development—where water and civilization is—than in an undeveloped country, regardless of what may be promised. It is unwise to buy land without water in California. I have five acres of good level land at Sunland, near Burbank, with water, for $200 per acre.
