Celebrate Emancipation Day With Ohio society At Echo Park Colonel Allensworth Meets Tragic Death Volume 27 Lieut.-Colonel Allen Allensworth is gone, his life virtually snatched away by the crushing impact of a heavy motorcycle by which he was fatally injured Sunday. The frightful accident that cost this noted life occurred at Monrovia, Cal, about 10 a.m. Sunday morning. He had just stepped from the train and was proceeding to a church at which he was to speak. Using the paved roadbed of Myrtle Ave., a sixty-foot boulevard, for better walking than the mere pathway afforded, he was overtaken and struck down by a motorcycle ridden by two young caucasans. The bruised and bleeding form was rushed to the hospital at Monrovia where death came after two days of unconsciousness. Word reached Los Angeles and relatives hastened to the bedside. Mrs. Allensworth hurrying from Allensworth by fastest train. Announcement of the Colonel's sad misfortune was made at different churches and the whole community seemed stunned by the news. At the coroner's inquest held Tuesday afternoon at Monrovia, E. S. White, who drove the motorcycle, and W. E. Ray, who rode with him, were closely examined as were other witnesses also. Both men swore that the machine was running only about 12 to 14 miles per hour and that warning was given Col. Allensworth when 150 feet away. They claimed that he looked back, then walked on and that he became excited as they were passing and in dodging to and fro to prevent being struck, ran into the machine, which was not stopped for 150 feet after striking the Colonel. Sharp questioning and direct expressions afterward showed that many believed the motorcycle must have been going at high speed, and that Colonel Allensworth probably had little opportunity to save himself. The coroner's jury returned an open verdict, without fixing any responsibility. Following the inquest, the remains were removed to the parlors of A. J. Roberts & Son of this city. Colonel Allensworth's death is a fearful shock to his devoted family, the widow, Mrs. Allensworth, and two daughter, Mrs. H. B. Skanks, and Mrs. L. Blodgett. Fearing the strain upon them, very simple funeral services will be held at present. The funeral will take place Friday at 1 p.m. at the 2nd Baptist church on Maple Ave. near 8th, Rev. J. L. McCoy officiating and the G. A. R. being in attendance. Interment will take place at Rosedale cemetery. At a later date appropriate memorial services will be held and Colonel Allensworth's life and services to his race and country will then be appropriately commemorated. THE PASSING OF ONE OF LOS ANGELES' MOST NOTEWORTHY COL- ORED CITIZENS Elder Elias Franklin Henderson was born in Calaway county, Missouri, November 1, 1848; he first attended a subscription school at columbia, Mo., early in 1865, iting one of the first schools for negroes in the state of Missouri. He later attended the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo., and as a member of the first classes that institution, and became one of the first Negro teachers in that state, and for fifteen years taught many portions of the same. many portions of the city. At the age of sixteen years he met the Antioch Christian church at Fulton, Mo., and fifteen ears later was ordained to the ministry of this church by A. B. Bler, J. D. Orr, L. M. Shall and hers. For many years he was employas a traveling evangelist by the vistian State Board of Missions the state of Missouri, during which time he traveled extensive and organized many churches. In the year 1888 he migrated toisas, settling in Kansas City, L. where he remained for more than seventeen years and was ac- tively engaged in both religious and commercial life, twelve years of which he was active manager of the A. B. C. Coal Company, a Negro stock company which did a wholesale and retail business. In April, 1905, in response to a call from the Christian Missionary Board of California, he came to Los Angeles, where he organized the East Eighth Street Christian Church. His last years were spent at the head of the Henderson Realty Company, located at 1543 Centrai avenue. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Nellie C. Henderson; a daughter, Mrs. Alma Miller, and one brother, Reuben Henderson, of Americus, Mo. His entire life was one of accerdood to run a newspaper() tivity as preacher, teacher and business man, and when he came to the far west he did not do as some are wont to; he saw the great need of conscientious workers and plunged in wherever he could be of the greatest service. As a member of the Forum he will be greatly missed, for seldom was he ever absent from his post. Personal Glimpse of the Man "Reputation is what men think of us; character is what we are." A few years ago, when we undertook to run a newspaper, Rev. Henderson was the first, either minister or layman, who came to us and expressed his appreciation of our efforts along the journalistic lines, and said, "Gold have I none to offer, but such service as I can render thee, gladly do I offer," and he was as good as his word, for the Los Angeles public cherishes the memory of his last contributions to the Eagle, "The New Come," which were not yet complete. He died in the harness, while serving as pastor of the Christian Church, of which he was a member, promoting his real estate business on Central avenue, and laying plans for and entertainment for the benefit of the two Negro newspapers which he had not yet communicated to the public. God called; he did not stop, but checked the career of Rev. Henderson long enough to give him his papers of promotion. LILIAN H. JONES 1 Lillian Hawkins Jones, who appears at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Sept. 24th, in the big star concert, which is given under the auspices of the choir has certainly created great commotion and general activity in Los Angeles musical circles. Those who have been fortunate enough to have heard her in the East, and elsewhere, are clamorous in praise of her ability while those who have not heard her, are restlessly waiting for the time to come, when this peerless contralto will come forth to appease their musical hunger. Herefore we have had visiting Los Angeles, Cal., SEPT. 19, 1914 race singers from the East, but none have so widely stirred this city and towns round about. Since there can be no effect without some cause, we state the cause, which to us is very plain, viz: Colorado, has many sons and daughters in Los Angeles, and the great majority of them have heard this highly trained, and cultured, musical genius and queen of song and those who have not heard her directly have heard of her; so, owing to the high social standing of Coloradoans, especially the Denverites, their endorsement carries with it, weight and conviction. Therefore the whole town is singing the praise of Lillian Hawkins Jones. Then too, she is to be assisted by some of the best local talent that might be secured in any city. Artists are here now, that have gained for themselves praise all over this continent. Solos by the very best vocalists. Instrumental numbers by the best virtuosors, and readings by the best elocutionists in the entire West. Indications are to the effect that every seat in the large spacious church will be taken. The date is Thursday, Sept. 24, 1914, at 8:15 p.m. Admission 25 cents. Reserved seats 50 cents. A. E. LEWIS K.

We were traveling by rail from Buffalo through the Mohawk valley, and I had settled myself in the smoking compartment of my car when the porter came in. Perhaps it was because he looked more manly than the average run of negro porters, or perhaps something in the quality of his voice attracted me. We fell into conversation and I learned to my astonishment that EMANCIPATION DAY For reasons apparent, the Calif. which has fathered the Emancipation at Seal's Gardens have arranged wi to transfer the same, and will celebrate on that day.

He told me that he had been born in Raleigh, N. C., 27 years before. His parents both had come up from slavery - his father graduating at the age of 35 from Atlanta University to become a Congregational minister. mother wa one of the first colored women to secure a degree from Atlanta University. His elder brother had spent two years at Howard University, Washington, D.C., a school of 1,400 students maintained by the U. S. Government, and from there had gone to Dartmouth, where he completed his course in two years and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. From there he had gone to Jefferson Institute in Kansas city to occupy the chair of mathematics, and there his work had been cut short by death. A sister also had secured a degree from Atlanta University, and was devoting her knowledge toward educating her colored sisters. And he, the young porter, was striving—in spite of many discouragements to gain an education. We talked on, and I grew more and more pleased with his atti- tude toward himself and his work The death of his parents had thrown him on his own resources when, but a boy, and he had studied for a time in the Hampden-Sidney Institute, where colored boys are taught an industrial trade. Later he was employed for some time by one of the large department stores in New York City. His evenings he spent in reading, preparing for the education an opportunity for which he hoped might come, and through the fairs of Dr. Jefferson of Broadway Tabernacle, in New York, he had been sent to Howard University at Washington, D.

Now, after three of his four college years had passed, he had decided to spend the summer as a railroad porter. He was of good height and sturdy build. His face was pleas- and open—one that invited confi- dence and trust. His keen eyes convinced me of intelligence, and his quiet but earnest way of talk- ing and acting confirmed my be- Given. lief in his determination to do things. In personality he was extraordinarily impressive. He was proud of his parentage and of his brother and sister; proud of his race, of what it was doing and would do in the future; proud of his work, both in and out of school—in the classroom and in student activities. His unbuttoned coat displayed a small badge of the colored men's college fraternity of which he was a member—the money earned as a prize in debating paid for it. He was proud that he had a "conductor run" in the Pullman service in spite of his youth. His optimism was contagious, the sort that will radiate to all with whom he will come in contact. And he was ambitious—not for himself, but for all the other negroes who are striving to do as he has, and for the less fortunate whom they must help. As we talked, he told me of the work the young colored men are doing; of that young colored surgeon, Dr. Simeon L. Carson of Freedman's Hoepital, Washington, D.C., who is only 30 years old and who has performed the Caesarean operation in 15 minutes—a fact which, to the medical profession means wonderful medical skill; of Allen LeRoy Locke, a graduate of Harvard University and a Rhodes scholar of enviable record at Oxford and now professor of ethics 20 PROF.

The Harris Sisters, who stand in a slass by themselves, will render a selection. The only girl's quartet in the city will sing. Mr. J. D. Banton, a vionilist of much ability; Mr. Carr and Mr. Davis, tenor and bass soloists, will also be among the high class performers.

AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS To the Reading Public: Words are unable to portray my feelings to the Los Angeles public for the kind and considerate attention, given me in my work as local editor of the California Eagle. It was a hard undertaking made easy only by the willingness of this great populace M T. WILKINS of "The Path of Destiny" in honor of Mr. Beeks to share in the burden, for which I heartily thank you. And now that a change is about to be made in my life which I hope and I feel that you all do for good, I shall make an effort to try in my weak manner and serve you in the future as a Washington correspondent. It is my intention to continue in this way my friendship with you, to make my trip and experi- ence an educational benefit to all and hope that in this capacity I will be able to perpetuate the true friendship I have formed and at the same time continue my pro- gressive endeavors. With the sincerest hope for the success and good will of all and a desire for a future as glorious as the past, I will continue to remain your in service and in gratitude. LEWIS K. BEEKS.

Vote "No" on Universal 8 Hour Law, Proposition No.3 The Proposed Universal Eight-Hour Law. San Jose Mercury, August 4, 1914. It is an absurd attempt to legislate climate and nature into law. It is contrary to the basic principles of popular government, "The greatest good to the greatest number." The farms, orchards, dairies and vineyards form the pillars of our commonwealth. If we willfully destroy them, how can we expect the structure to stand? It is an unseemly attempt on the part of man to usurp the powers of heaven itself. If the "high cost of living is oppressive now, what would it be if we, by such a law, voluntarily double and treble the price of the necessaries of life? If you think that it will not affect you, remem- FARMING BY A T BIG OF THE WINDS NURSE R.R.

I am not opposed to the proposed universal eight-hour law except as it affects the farmer, the fruit-grower, the dairyman and the stock man. In defending their interest, I would like my reasons to be distinctly understood. I am not opposed to the principles sought to be embodied in an eight-hour law. I believe that it is wholly right to prevent anybody from working others for such long hours as would be detrimental to their health, happiness and civic usefulness. No fair-minded pe ; willob ject to an eight hour law for the mechanic, the artisan and the city-dwelling wage earner; but the same fair · mindedness must protest against such a law being forced upon others to whom it is neither desirable nor reasonable. Most certainly the liberty of the individual would be unwarrantably curtailed if the farmer, the dairyman, the fruit grower and the stockman, whose industry depends upon the seasons and upon climate, were not permitted to work as conditions require. A law which would prevent laborers in the agricultural districts from ```markdown ``` MRS. V. L. NORTH H working more than eight hours a day during the harvest and fruit picking season would impose upon the agriculturist an expense which he cannot afford, and to that extent would prove misfortune to the entire state. The work of the fruit grower and the farmer is, as I have said, governed by the seasons and by climate, — and any attempt to legislate climate and nature into law is absurd. So, if we handicap ourselves by making expensive the products of our farms, vineyards and orchards, we shall suffer a serious industrial loss, as well as add to the "high cost of living" at home. California's greatest industry is in its fruit crops, an industry of an annual gross value of nearly $375,000,000. These crops are largely harvested during a limited season of the year. As a conse- TIME-CLOCK. JURTHER PLURUS ARE YOU SOONG TO MAKE THEM RING IN TOO? CALIFORNIA FARMER TE FARMERS OF CALIFORNIA MEANS RUN TO OUR AGRICULTURE. Law, Proposition No.3 quence, labor is scarce at that time, the period of harvesting being too short to invite an influx of a desirable class in any considerable numbers. The products of the fruit industry are perishable, and to the growers, canners and dealers in this line, such legislation as the proposed universal eight-hour law would mean restriction of output and increased cost of production, which would place them at a serious disadvantage in competing with the products of other states and foreign countries. I believe thoroughly in the eight hour day for those who WANT it. I believe that that should be the maximum at which a man should work if he does not want to work longer. But I do not believe that such a restriction of individual liberties should be forced upon those who do not want it and upon whom it work an unnecessary hardship. Crops do not ripen by the clock, nor will the harvest wait upon a man-made law. [The universal eight-hour law must be defeated or approved as it stands, as there is no way to amend it; therefore the votes in November must be an intelligent and decisive one. The law, as submitted, applies to every worker in the state; male and female, including household helpers, trained nurses, railroad and Pullman porters.] From "THE SCRAP BOOK" BY J. D. REYNOLDS. REPORT OF BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION PICNIC Complimentary to all concerned in the Annual Baptist Sunday School Union Picnic, the most favorable Union Picnic ever given in or around Los Angeles, was given at Playa del Rey Friday, August 14th. All amusements were of intellectual appreciation. Although given late in the season, the same was marked with enthusiastic interest of a large crowd, but as an exception to the record of all previous picnics, perhaps, here and elsewhere, there was nothing disorderly that happened during the entire day—no dancing, no drinking, cussing, fussing or fighting. All went well. Such should be of red-letter importance to those who expected to find as a report such picnics as are usually given, box letter expressions of crime committed at the Baptist S. S. Union Picnic of the Negro Churches. Ample time has been given for compliments from such papers instead of the usual publication of crime. No gratifying remarks up to the present time, something appreciative said, "at a late hour," might be timely taken. The Executive Board met on Thursday night, August 27th, at Second Baptist Church, and the favorable reports from the many faithful committees were concluded; and after all was settled Chairman and his committee, the Old Folks' Home. Much credit is due the Union Picnic concerning the picnic, the body voted $25 from the proceeds for working faithfully for the success of the picnic, for the favorable results, also peace and quietness of the picnic, much credit is due our colored policemen. Samuel Lewis and L. L. Russell. C. A. BIGGERS, Chairman Picnic Committee. W. W. GAY. AN OVATION IN HONOR OF MISS OSBORNE Librarian of Carnegie Library, Houston, Texas Messrs. Biggers and Ridgeway gave a parlor entertainment in honor of Miss Osborne of Houston, Texas. The reception was given at Biggers' Business College. Among the music makers of the evening were Prof. Wilkerson, Miss Busby and Prof. Lomax. Others added to the pleasure of the ovation with expressions of literary gems. Special features of the evening's entertainment were the musical and literary contest thru the display of words in expressions of illusions. All in the house entered the contests. Merit was the measure of the contesting abilities. The first prize in the literary contest was won by Miss Osborne. The prize was a handsome little cupid statue. The first prize in the musical contest was won by Miss B. R. James. This prize was a silver card receiver and a dozen of hand-made calling cards. At eleven-thirty refreshments were served, and at twelve all departed for their homes leaving their congratulations to the guest and entertainers. LIQUOR There is a hideous monster that is living in our State, whose highest aim and object is to ruin and lay waste the souls and minds of mankind, no matter where they are found. He is seen in many places, surrounded by music and light. To an innocent outside observer He presents an inspiring sight; all the arts of man and nature are had at a command to accomplish a friendish purpose—some poor soul to damn. To be with him is to love him. To love him is to obey, sacrificing the dearest things in life—homes, wives and innocent babies. Women, the flowers of our State, their confidence is won, and their virtue is put on the market and is purchased for a song. Can we idly sit by and listen to this steady tread of sin, while mothers moan and weep and pray for a daughter ruined today? No, there is a something in us, an instinct born of God, which will not, cannot be satisfied while this evil lives and thrives. Will we let destruction continue and destroy our loved State, or—will we fight until at last we shall bring it to its fate? We will strip off this brilliant apparel and sell it pound for pound; yes, we must win, we will win. Destruction is to go down. There'll be a terrible conflict with this Demon and mankind. November the fatal contest begins.

THE AMERICAN ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE WAR SITUATION Even though the United States has taken no part in the present European struggle; she like every other civilized country has interests at stake and is standing on tip-toe wondering if that crucial moment shall come when she, too, like England and Japan, must step out and say that I am either here or there. Most presidents are anxious to have issues such as wars, treaties, etc., chronicled under their administration, but it seems that Wilson is not only willing but anxious to have his presidential reign go down in history as "Woodrow, the Peaceful." Germany, England and Japan have asked Uncle Sam to take a hand, but not so, says the man at the helm, as long as I hold and guide the presidential reins this country will remain neutral in war affairs unless directly involved. There are those who criticize the president for takin gthis stand, but even his severest critics can but agree that this policy pursued by the president is the means by which many lives are saved, property protected.

Many of the stations of both have been cut from the service, and all service closes at 9 p. m. We are under military rule and are supposed to be in the house at night. Everybody reads the papers as he hurries along. The size of the dailies has been reduced to one sheet, and some are not much larger than opera house programs. Hotels and stores are closed or closing. Notices are in the windows that proprietors or the "Ouvriers" (work people) are mobilized or have enlisted. Stores which are open have a closing period from twelve to two to give the overworked employees dinner and a rest. I watched some of the lace and bric-a-bric stores pack up all their beautiful wares. At the Bon Marche, which is to be converted into a hospital, if necessary, the venders are packing up the things that the French buy, and are leaving out the gloves and finery that might attract Americans, who are very scarce, since most of the tourists are in the opera house region, which is a long walk. All of the big magazines (stores) have some of the big doors closed, and there are no sidewalk displays. Here the big stores do a thriving business in "Soldes" (sales) on the sidewalk. The big stores look bleak and bare. At Au Printemps (spring) hundreds of women clerks are making red cross arm bands, buttonholing the red crosses by hand. Others are making khaki bags, red cross flags and other army necessaries. Machines are in the aisles, and in silence the people watch the nimble fingers, for every French girl can sew and embroider. War is in the air! There are distressing scenes of parting in almost every street. The French men know how to make love and are ardent lovers. Such kissing and kissing! As they leave their weeping wives or sweethearts, or even riding in taxis, they kiss and caress until the last moment. They will turn around again and again to look back—perhaps for the last time. Troops, war wagons, red cross wagons and the blast of the bugle add to the war exhilaration. One often hears that regular, unmistakable tread of horses as the mounted troops pass. Great processions of horses (which have been confiscated by the government or voluntarily turned over by owners) are being led to the frontier. Each soldier leads and cares for two horses. Taxis are hurrying and scurrying, while the big auto wagons help with a terrific rumble and the same tooting of horns. Cabs and horses are scarce. Private automobiles are being confiscated by the government. Many Americans have been obliged to give up their cars. Aeroplanes skim high in the air like beautiful white birds. At night or early in the morning one may hear the peculiar whizzing as they pass high overhead. No one is permitted to pass through the gates of Paris without a permit. The great circle of earthworks known as the fortifications compels departure through the various "Portes" (gates). I saw an Italian sympathetic demonstration. There are always young boys at the rear of these processions, and I find that the Boy Scouts are well organised in Paris. Members were taking up collections along the Avenue de l'Opera. If it were not for the papers we would hardly realize that a war is going on. Flags float from all public buildings and from the windows of private houses. Wagons, taxis and cabs carried large flags, but the gendarmes compelled them to take them down. Now they are carrying small flags. People are wearing little flags or bows of the tri-colors. Some English wear the British Jack and the French flag, and some Americans wear Old Glory in miniature combined with the French drape. The French people face starva- tion, but they continue to buy flags—large ones, too. The stores and shops are selling the tri-color ribbon like wildfire. One may imagine the scene. It looks like a celebration of the Fourth of July rather than a preface of war. Everywhere one hears "La France this" and "La France that." Heated discussions are held in the "Metro" and on street corners, and women are in the discussions. The women are the backbone of this nation, anyhow. They have pitched into work with a vim that must be seen to be appreciated. The women paper sellers rival the men in their sales and cries. As the men yell the various editions at night, terror grips my heart lest thousands have been slain. Demonstrations against the German shopkeepers are pregnant. Windows are broken and the shops utterly destroyed. Two Germans, a man and his wife, both naturalized Americans, but with a telltale German accent, who have recently moved here from America with all they have, are afraid to return to their apartment in the Montmartre quarter. The neighbors threaten to tear the man limb from limb, and they belong to the class that might do this. The feeling against the Germans caused a crowd of men and boys to destroy one of the Maggi milk shops on Rue Brea. The Maggi people are Germans, so the French government promptly confiscated all their money, about $400,000. I watched a shopkeeper with a German name painted "Maison Française" on the window in red paint. This was a precaution. As I walked to the American Express office early on Monday morning I met a distressed elderly American woman. We read the early bulletin of the New York Herald before she told her story. She had lost her trunk in the hurried departure from Berne, where men were acting like urunken ruffians. I went with her across the avenue to see when the office of the American consul would be open. When she found that even in such troublesome times the office would not open until 10 o'clock, there was a wealth of sarcasm that the consul would have heard. Then I went over to the American Express office to draw my money, and to the Canadian Express to get a refund for my ticket. I was number eight in the line before the door of the American Express. The ones ahead of me had stood up all night from Switzerland. In a little while we noticed that lines of people were forming before the offices of Thomas Cook and several steamship offices, especially before the Hamburg-American office. When the doors opened the line was around the corner, and there was a terrible crush. Those who came last pushed ahead of the others, and some from the same ship that brought me over were the first at the cashier's window, although they were last to arrive. Afterward an employee kept the line outside the door, but not before the office was jammed. French people had crowded in to get fifty franc bills ($10) cashed, but the sign was before them, "No bills changed." They sputtered and fumed, but they received nothing after crowding and pushing the Americans, who had a right there. Thomas Cook soon went to smash, financially, because it is an English house and England needed the money for the war. The steamship offices began to dismantle and go out of business early in the morning. The New York Herald had warned all Americans and Englishmen to go directly to the Ambassador, Consul or the police station nearest to their hotel to get a "laissez-sejour" paper if one was to stay several days, or to get a passport if one intended to leave at once. The consul's office is on the third floor almost opposite the office of the New York Herald. Three flights of a wide staircase were packed with American humanity waiting for letters of introduction to the precinct police. It took over two hours for each one to get to the office door. The people took it good-naturedly, for as the men said, "We do this at basebali any time." Two women fainted while I was there, but nobody but their friends assisted them. People were too anxious to get their papers to be polite. When we received our papers the assistant lectured us as if we were children, but we took it like children. I waited around all afternoon. When I went to the restaurant at I o'clock for dinner I found that green girls were being pressed into service as waitresses. People were assisting themselves all they could. The girls forgot to take the "pour-boire" (tip), and I find that all of the new hands are too busy to remember this item, notwithstanding the faet that tips are their real salary. Many restaurants, as well as the hotels, are out of business. Nearly all have a sign of some sort. The proprietors announce that they will go to war or are forced to close because they have no one to do the work, or that they will not change paper money or that the prices have been augmented. It keeps one busy reading all of the various signs on doors and in windows. There are even poems hung on statues. That of Joan of Arc is decorated with flowers, and a big paper hung on it, on which is written a patriotic poem. After dinner at 1 o'clock, I went to the big meeting at the Grand hotel which the New York Herald had advertised in the morning. There were no chairs provided in the gold and crystal ballroom, with its magnificent chandelier of crystal and mirror walls, but the Americans, with their customary audacity, stripped the dining. Each woman carried her own chair. There were about 1500 to 2000 present. Many stories of hardship were related. Some had not a sou in real money. Some women tried to change a hundred-franc bill ($20) for a woman with a child. But nobody would give a cent. Small change is as precious as gold. There was a motion to take up a collection, but people spoke right out, "No, let the government pay for the cable." While there were some "buckers," as I heard a man call them, it was a treat to hear the way they got at things, yet all were strangers to each other. They simply ordered the President and Mr. Bryan to send for them. An American may demand things. Many are looking forward to the "transport," as a part of the trip and its experience, and are jolly. Even those without money are not particularly worried. I heard many stories of hardship, while many had stood up in trains for fourteen and fifteen hours from Zurich, Switzerland; others had walked a portion of the way out of Switzerland. One had had his auto confiscated. In the line before the American Express many had had no breakfast. A man took his thermos bottle and brought back hot coffee and crescent rolls. Still all these folks swapped experiences laughingly. The baggage of some of the men had been held at the French frontier until the various bags and trunks could be examined to see if they contained bombs, etc. This would take at least forty-eight hours, and yet they laughed as they told the experience, and had not a second collar or pair of socks in their possession. Those who persisted on going to England without baggage, for no trunks were carried, found themselves worse off than if they had remained here. London advertised that it had no more food than was needed for its own people and those who had early passage booked on English steamship lines. Many of those booked for "La France" could not get to the ship, as the railroads are being used for the soldiers. Even with a booking passengers are only allowed sixty kilos (about 120 pounds) of baggage in the hold and one piece of hand baggage. Many American women and girls are going to the war district as nurses. The fetching white costume and the arm band is very attractive. Many American men are volunteering for the army. On Tuesday morning I tood in line nearly three hours to get my "laissez-sejour" (to stay) paper at my district police station. If I had gone earlier I would not have been obliged to stand so long, but I started this letter and only arrived about nine-thirty. A number of Turks, Japanese, Norwegians and Danes were in line, as well as scores of Americans. One must be sure to get his "to stay" paper before he gets passport (which costs about two dollars) or the gendarmes may suspect him as a spy because he does not use his passport at once, although it be impossible to get any railroad service for several days. Each paper carried some identification. As gray hair is rare in France (for most people dye their hair here, where dyeing is a fine art), the young clerk wrote down that I was "graying." I hope that I am sufficiently identified, although "colored" was not added. My gray hair has served me well on this occasion. To prove that it is best to follow one's own thought, I will relate two occurrences while we were in line. Although I had my letter of introduction from the consul, an elderly, intelligent, English-speaking Frenchman in company with some American women declared that I needed a receipt from my landlord. He insisted with that French tenacity and whole-hearted interest that I return for this. I said: "No, if a letter from a consul would not overbalance one from either a landlord or a concierge (the janitress who also takes the rent) that there was no need of a consul." I had stood in line too long at the consul's office to get that paper, and did not intend to lose my place. Of course, at the police station I received my "laissez-sejour" paper. Just afterwards an Americanized Frenchman came to hunt two young American women in order to help them. He assured them that they could not get their papers, that he had been refused. He had brought a cab (a temptation when cabs are rare) and would bring them the next morning. The American girls, with true American independence and grit, said that they preferred to stay. They received their papers also. I have not seen a black, brown or "high-brown" French soldier yet. I have seen hundreds of French blacks as they call themselves. Since the omnibuses are not running most of the people follow the boulevards, which are the main arteries of traffic, and I am continually meeting "eolored" people. I have seen many American colored people, too. I desired to speak to some of them, but they gave no evidence of cordiality. On the Avenue de l'Opera I saw one colored woman who shook her head at me as if to say, "This is bad." I bowed and smiled, but she passed on. I stood to see if she read the New York Herald bulletins. She stopped a moment, but as the news is printed in both English and French, I was still uncertain as to her nationality. I stare at every colored person for a sign of recognition, but so far I only know four of those I have met. The complaint of the American women about their treatment at the Ambassador's office is prevalent. The clerks took a two-hour lay-off for lunch. The waiting line of people would not have begrudged one hour to the tormented clerks, but many of the eld women, unaccustomed to walking had come long distances, and there were no chairs or places to sit, besides many of them had had nothing to eat. I saw some of the black bread that was used in 1870. I hope that it tasted better than it looked. The friends who showed me the bread have a book of prophecies which is wonderful. It had predicted this war, and says that herds of the yellow races would invade Paris. This seems a true prophecy also, for the Japanese are everywhere in evidence. There are many Japanese children also. A Yale professor who is staying at this hotel told me that some resident American friends who are spiritualists tried to convince him that the general war would come. When it was declared they said, "Didn't we tell you so?" The Americans here who have a little money are not worried, and they say, "Let our government send for us." It is rather nice to live in a country that can "do" things. One can get no seats, places as they call them, to England, and one dreads sailing on a French liner if he secures a booking. I intend to wait along with the other Americans, for that transport and have the same rare experience. One does not mind paying a high price for an unusual state of affairs. I am well and contented. I leave the hotel early every morning and return about six—filled to overflowing with what I have seen and what I have heard, and I have hope in my heart that all will be well. ha a a oN a ia a a tea 5 > i i “ ee Fr peta a eee ‘soe Toad bo adrenal to The California Eagle, ‘1034 East Ninth Streets. ‘i & ‘Bntered as second-class ‘mafl matter at ee etttomce of Low Angeles, Cal, under the det of March 1 _—_— C.

TRAGIC DEATH OF COL- ONEL ALLENSWORTH Too bad the irony of fate ushers from our midst Colonel Allens- worth, retired lieutenant-colonel of the United States army, a man gwho by his own efforts had come up from obscurity to the exalted position he held. And in retiring from the army he did riot rest on his oars, but he founded a town and lived there among his people He was always in action doing something for his Master and for shis race, and after withstanding the, bullets in war, the fevers of a fopical climate, coming home and retiring with the high honor which he had earned, it is indeed a lamentable irony of fate to meet this tragic end.

ANOTHER REASON FOR US TO GET TOGETHER A reader from Long Beach writes the Eagle in reference to the chairman of the reception com- mittee of the W. R. C. of the G. A. R. Ata recent reception by Bartlett Logan corps, G. A. R. sefusing admission to the hall of colored men and saying, “No nig- ger should eat in their hall.” This being the Hall of Records and furnished free of charge, the writer craves our views in the premises. We will say in answer thereto, even though we have throwr aside the yoke of chattel slavery, ‘we are suffering from the new sort of slavery, a condition which can gnly be eradicated by us as a peo- ple. ‘As long as we are separated ir our efforts, our energies and our endeavors, the white man will con- tinue. to heap these insults upor us; we in turn will continue to sit still and whine.

MOB LAW IN VOGUE AT THE HIPPODROME S. B.

All within the laws of the! ad. city: in which he lives. At the playhouse conspicuous signs are posted on the wall, “Seats Any- ‘where in the House, 10 Cents.” But when Batey appeared with two colored ladies, the ushers in- sisted that they go upstairs, to which Batey demurred as he says he informed them if there were no seats downstairs he would wait, and they fell on him like the Ger- mans on the Allies. As a result, Batey was roughly handled an¢ arrested and put in jail and is now out on bond under a charge of dis- turbing the peace. The case will be tried Tuesday morning before Judge Chambers This is a serious matter and one which the Eagle has been calling attention to for some time, where in our civil rights in this city ar Jat stake.

The El Dorado Gold Star Mining Company makes an- nouncement that on the 10th day of September 1914, its board of directors executed a contract with manufacturers of the City of Los Angeles, for the building of their ma- chinery to be operated by the company, in the milling of the vast tonnage of rich ores on the dumps of their excel- lent properties, located in the El Dorado Canyon Mining District, Clark county, State of Nevada. The manufacturers are now at work, and promise to have the inachinery and the equipments, with’ all the essentials thereto belonging for the installing of-a plant complete, ready f. o. b. within six weeks from the time of letting of contract. > All stockholders baving entered into contract for the stock of this company are requested to close said contracts as early as conve- nience will permit. . The board of directors is now seriously considering the advisa- bility of advancing the stock of the corporation, but undecided ax yet, whether the stock shall be $2 or $3 a share. The stock of the company is selling at present at $1 a share, but no guarantee that the:price will continue long at that figure, except 80 stipulated in contract, If you care to take advantage of the opportunity that offers the biggest profit making investment ever made in all your experience, then it will be well that you do not hesitate, but act at once. 4 After the machirery arrives on the property of the company, it is eupposed that within three weeks thereafter, the installation will be complete and the plant ready for operation. The plan of the boar» of directore is to install a plant twenty ton daily capacitv, and after s few shipments have been made of the concentrates, or values to the smelter, the company will be provided with sufficient funds asa result of the shipments to increase the capacity daily from sixty to a hundred tons..'This would mean an out- put in values from $300 to $2 000 in milling the low grades of ore—to eay nothing of the higher grades. ‘You should see our regular authorized agent in your vicinity at once, and in cage there is no such agent—then remit direct to the com- pany by registered letter, postoffice money order, express order, or by check, The company will not be responsible for your remittance, ex- cept sent in the manner named 3 EL DORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY N.

Miss Willa Hosman, proprietress of the Little Wonder Restaurant, is the kind of woman that we should feel proud of. Miss Hosman came to San Diego about five years ago. She worked at the Southern Hotel for a time and finally decided to go in some kind of business. At first she was undecided just what to attempt and finally opened a small luch room. The seating capacity being one, serving chile con carne only. Seeing that her business was increasing she decided to add to her menu. Business continued to grow. She opened a larger place, and today she owne "The Little Wonder Restaurant," serving all kinds of good, wholesome food. She has saved her money, and today owns a beautiful bungalow and credits it to "chile con carne." When asked if she would open a larger place, she said: "I am contemplating to have a first-class place, where my people can come and receive the same service as you get at any of the leading cafes in town, but I do not think I will open before the first of the year." Miss Hosman's restaurant received the highest mark for sanitation by the board of health last month, which was "99 sanitary." She does her own cooking, and we can say that she is "some" chef, and worthy of your support. POLITICAL FLASHES Dr. Otto Marsh will make a runaway race out of it.

Candidate for County Surveyor JUDGE EDWARD KEATING For Justice of Peace He has made good. JUSTICE KEATING SHOWS JUDICIAL QUALITIES IN COMPOSING DIFFICULTIES Vito Callello, Italian laborer, stood woebegone before Justice of the Peace J. Edward Keating. A sentence of $100 had just been imposed upon him for assaulting his mother-in-law, Rosa Affatato, and matters were looking blank and black for Vito. "But there are six good and sufficient reasons why the court will not enforce the collection of the fine or put the defendant in jail," Judge Keating concluded, at which there was a murmur of applause in the well filled court room—for the six "Good and sufficient reasons" were Vito's children, whose age ranged from eight years to a babe in arms and who gathered with their mother on a front bench. Hope gave place rapidly to the despair in Vito's face and he pledged himself with eager vehemence not to molest his mother- J. in-law for six months at least. Hastily he assembled his progeny and vanished from the court room, protesting volubly his gratitude for the mercy shown by Judge Keating, whose sentence in such cases are invariably tempered with mercy and dictated by impartiality and common sense. "And what is to become of me?" timidly queried old Rosa, who had been left behind. "I have now no home, nor have I money. Where shall I go?" It was another problem for the wise young justice to solve and he went into it with characteristic patience and care, developing one of the most interesting of the important tragedies of unimportant tragedies of unimportant lives that daily find their way to Judge Keating's court. And this is the story from beginning until the happy conclusion brought about by the judge: Old Rosa came from Italy a year ago to make her home with her daughter and Vito, whose pay is only $1,85 a day, but who assured the authorities that Rosa should not become a public charge. But soon all was not well in Vito's household. His mother-in-law asserted the traditional authority which Vito resented, and to show his resentment he used physical force with mama-in-law, which eventually landed him in Justice of the Peace Court No. 2 as related. Questioning old Rosa as she lingered after Vito's dismissal, Judge Keating learned that the son-in-law had borrowed $50 from her—all the money she had in the world—on her arrival in San Diego, and had never returned it. Here was another tangle in the domestic snarl, but Judge Keating acted with his customary promptitude. "Fetch that man back here," he commanded a constable, who speedily was on Vito's trail, bringing him to the court room within a few minutes. Vito admitted he had borrowed the money, but would not acknowledge having it still in his possession, although Rosa fervently assured the justice this was untrue. You can buy right with fine improvements. Walks, curbe, trees water, ete, all paid for. Get inside facts at our office. "I will give you just twenty-four hours in which to return this money to your poor old mother-in-law," sternly declared Justice Keating to the now thoroughly frightened Vito. "If it is not in this court by that time the original sentence will be enforced." With many promises and protestations Vito went forth again and in the meantime the judge interested a number of charitable American and Italian women in the plight of Rosa Affatato. He learned that she pined to return to THREE—426—Eagle Sept 17 S Jim Crow wskroniET8900$..... her old home in Italy, so the justice and the good ladies set about the philanthropic task of sending her back. Vito promptly turned up the next day with the $50 in gold, but it was not enough for Rosa's passage. However, Judge Keating and the ladies made up the balance of the required sum, and old Rosa yesterday, happy and joyous as a schoolboy when the school house burns down, began the long journey home. The Eagle sets the pace. All others bring up the rear for news that interests a cosmopolitan citizenship. Corner 8th and San Julian Sts.

The imperfections of our civil and political system, the inequalities of our industrial life, call for readjustment. The pinch of poverty, the pangs of the poor, together with the lament of the lowly and disfranchised, betoken the weakness of our national bulwarks. Are we of this generation to realize a repetition of the fates of history? Is the American Republic destined to follow in the wake of ancient Greece and Rome, to go down in the dust of decay, to be blown about with the sands of the sea? Are the forces gnawing at the vitals of the nation to be permitted to continue their cancerous growth? Right, not might, must be the solvent for the problems demanding solution, even though it be at a sacrifice of innate pride and national traditions. Reason rather than sentiment must serve as the arbiter in our internal dissensions. Individuals may hesitate, political parties may palliate, but outraged motherhood and neglected homes are crying for a relief from the greatest curse of our present civilization—the liquor traffic. I, therefore, declare for constitutional prohibition. All money and papers bonded by Bank or Trust Co. Owner can be seen at the north end of the Hotel Oregon, El Centro, Cal.

Henry Blanton Parks, Bishop of this, the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. Church, leaves Phoenix this evening for Chicago. I had the pleasure of meeting the Bishop and his wife at Phoenix. They were on a sight-seeing trip when I met them in a four-passenger machine owned and driven by Mr. M H. Shelton a business man of ability and great success as a real estate dealer. His office is centrally located at 215 Washington street. Mr. Shelton very kindly asked me to join them, which I did with many thanks and no hesitation. His sign reads: REAL ESTATE BOUGHT, SOLD AND EXCHANGED INSURANCE, RENTALS, LOANS COLLECTIONS. We then drove to his home, the most beautiful and picturesque in Phoenix—only seven blocks from the business district of the city, having 300 foot frontage on three different streets. The lot contains about three acres and was originally owned by a wealthy old settler who sold to Mr. Shelton. The beautiful cottage, with the six large rooms, all modern conveniences, built-in effects, hot and cold water, electric lights, and gas for heating purposes. The grounds are surrounded by palms and acacia trees. On the lot is a very fine orchard, many of the trees being loaded to the ground, especially the pear and quince trees. Then there are apples and crab apples peaches, plums, figs and pommegranites; good water, barns, chicken corrals and a garage. The house is situated near the corner of 7th avenue—the number is 733 Grant street. This property is valued at $25,000. Mr. Shelton was trying to interest the Bishop in buying it during our two hours' trip. Mr. Shelton showed us a great many of the 150 houses he had built and sold during the last two years, most of which were five and six-room bricks. As the Bishop and his wife are looking for a winter home, they seemed to be very favorably impressed with Mr. Shelton's proposition. The winters in Pheonix are delightful and the water contains medicinal properties. They say, 'If you are well, drink this water to keep well; if you are sick, drink this water to get well. Mr. Shelton informed us that 90 per cent of the colored people owned their homes and that they were a very desirable class of citizens. We then drove to his ranch, which is about three miles from the city. The population of the city is about 20,000. Of this number there are between 1,000 and 1,100 colored people and about 90 school children. Messrs. Frederick Gardner and J. A. Jackson are just completing a magnificent concrete building 59x112 ft., cement sidewalk around it, nineteen rooms, with bridal chamber, all newly and elegantly furnished; inside finish, stucco with wainscoting and picture moulding throughout the rooms and auditorium, which is 50x104 ft., intended for meetings, such as conventions, lodges, roller skating and dancing. The office, check room, cafe, etc., all open into wide halls. It is electric lighted and gas heated; has hot and cold water, telephones and all the latest improvements. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner very courteously showed us through the entire building. The building is surrounded by palm and pepper trees and is centrally located. This colored hotel is a credit to the city as well as to the people. Seeing is believing, and we saw with our own eyes today, in the two hours' drive over and around the city, that the only way to see Phoenix is to be lucky enough to have a friend who lives there, knows the city and owns an automobile, and that friend the kind who takes pride in his city to the extent that he makes it a point to show off the things of interest and beauty.
