The Afro-Americans of Los Angeles Demands the Clansman in Moving Pictures be Denied Admittance THE LEGISLATURE TAKES RECESS Volume 27 Well, the apparently harmless little Scott Assembly bill 299 is now in the hands of the committee on Ways and Means. The bill provides for a "polytechnic industrial institute" at Allenaworth, with its 255 inhabitants hungry for a $50,000 institute to house its scholastic population advertised at 40 pupils. I have had several opportunities to talk with both Assemblyman Scott and Mr. Overr. Mr. Scott is an approachable gentleman, but he did not impress me as being a philanthropist. I believe I have had my last talk with Mr. Overr, though I see him quite often from a distance. Mr. Overr, I would judge from my conversation with Assemblyman Scott has convinced him, and is busily engaged in "conversion work," that the great body of Negroes in California are just "hankering" after the Allenaworth polytechnic institute as a means of giving their aspiring youth an opportunity to become skilled mechanics. Mr. Scott informs me, and he speaks as one who has his view point: "I have received assurances from the South that many eminent educators of the colored race are very desirous that this bill be passed. They see the advantage it will be to their children." When he was informed that the forum, ministers' federations, and many other representative civic bodies of the colored race south and Los Angeles, were opposing all ideas along educational lines that point to ultimate segregation, he did not appear so well informed. But he did say "it is the privilege of those opposed to the measure to come before the committee and state their objections." He declares his bill is a wedge for racial discrimination. On the other hand, Mr. Overr continues to make his canvases on the score that the only opposition to the bill comes from a non-representative body called the forum and the great bulk of the colored race want the school, as they feel they need it. So there it is. The State at this time, in a period of financial stringency, will hardly agree to vote $50,000 to boom real estate in Allenaworth. The race in Southern California will find that the race in this end of the State will aid them in pulling down the black flag of race exploitation that the "professional Negroes" of Tulare county is trying so hard to unfurl in this State. LABOR AND CAPITAL; NOT CAPITAL AND LABOR Put labor first and then you have what came from the open committee session of that name, held on the evening of the 25th, in the Assembly Chamber. The occasion was first to report on a bill providing for a more sanitary retainer for cement, to be furnished by the manufacturers of cement, to protect the health of men working in vessels and trains, loading and unloading cement. The bill is known as the Cement Retainer Bill. Assemblyman F. H. Mouser spoke effectively in favor of the bill and by a very apt system of interrogatories, calculated to bring out the weak points of the opponents of the bill. The Cement Manufacturers were very ably supported. Walter A. McDonald, chairman of the committee, lead the forces Here is the Allensworth School Bill. or the bill, he showed himself to be a sincere plain speaking leader of men, an able tactician, a master in debate. He demonstrated he knew how to safeguard the laboring man's interests, and to be the match for the ablest lawyers arrayed against the passage of any law likely to cost the corporations the expenditure of unusual sums to lighten the labor of labor, and insure the health of the laborer. After a heated discussion, pro and con, that lasted until midnight, bill was reported on favorably by the committee, by a good majority. But there was to come. A bill relating to spotters and detectives on trains and in connection with all other public service corporations, giving the accused an opportunity of being faced with his accuser, and having the specific charge against said employee proved, by actual evidence. Here was where. ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 299 Introduced by Mr. F. C. Scott, January 18, 1915 Referred to Committee on Ways and Means Te Establish the Allensworth Polytechnic Institute in the County of Tulare and Making an Appropriation Therefor. The people of the State' of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. There is hereby established in the county of Tulare, at or near the town of Allensworth, a school to be known as the Allensworth Polytechnic Institute. The purposes of this school is to furnish to young people of both sexes mental and manual training in the arts and sciences, including agriculture, mechanics, engineering, business methods, domestic economy, and such other branches as will fit the students for the non-professional walks of life. This act shall be liberally construed, to the end that the school established hereby may at all times contribute to the industrial welfare of the State of California. ASSEMBLYMAN CHARLES W. LYON One of the most useful and popular men, both in committee and on the floor of the House, presided as chairman of the Labor and Capital Committee and showed the mettle of the man. Never losing his patience with the protestants against the bill, ruling impartially but firmly, with an array of able defenders of the laboring man's interests on the floor, this bill too was reported back to the Assembly favorably. My attention was very pleasantly called to this young solon at the beginning of this snort session, when I heard him in a group of Senators and Assemblymen, pay I considered a very high compliment to the integrity of a member of the race. Venice and Santa Mohica are in Mr. Lyon's assembly district, and he spoke with elation when he said, "I tell you I have found any number of Colored voters in my district, that you just can't pay them for, 'political service.' They vote on their convictions. In my town is a colored man by the name of J, Allen Beese, he is a barber and a first class mechanic, I offered to defray his expense in a matter that was of special interest to the success of my candidacy. His answer was spartan, "I don't want any of your money, I'm for you in this fight, because I know you to be a worthy man for this community and my race to support'." Sec. 2. Within thirty days after this act goes into effect the Governor shall appoint five persons, who, with the Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction, shall constitute the board of trustees of said school. Sec. 3. The said trustees, as provided for in section two of this act, are hereby appointed and created trustees of said Allensworth polytechnic institute with full power and authority to select a site for the permanent location of said school. Said trustees shall, within ninety days after the passage of this act, examine the different sites offered by the people of Tulare county for the location of said school; and the site selected by them shall be and remain the permanent site for said school. But no money shall be expended for or on said site, until a deed in fee simple has been made for land so selected to the State of California. What tickles me about this particular session of the Forty-First Legislation, it is thoroughly progressive, even the most ultra party men are gracefully doing progressive politics, they are passing human measures. This is the spirit of Progressiveism, it is not merely in the name. The passage of the non partisan bill will be the capstone and the rule of the people will be complete in the State of California. Mrs. A. Hooker, 1443 West 36th street, entertained at dinner last gaturday in honor of Mrs. Miller of Kansas City, Kansas, nieces of Samuel Taft. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gamble, Mrs. Miller and Mr. Taft. PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES BEYOND Mr. Henry Ballenger, who was born in Georgia in 1833, and who resided for indefinite periods in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Texas and California respectively died last Monday at his home on East Ninth Street. Having come to Los Angeles from Texas about thirty years ago and being a first-class cement contractor, Mr. Ballenger leaves his footprints on some of the biggest and oldest structures in this city. For at the time he came Los Angeles was still in its infancy. Even through he was born and grew up in the land and age of Afro-American slavery, Henry Ballenger was never a slave, freed from that condition by the lineage of his Caucasian mother. In his verbal autobiography Mr. Ballenger often related that it was through his own efforts that he remained a free man, and strenuous was the fight he had to make at all times, to retain his freedom, and to purchase the freedom of Miss Lucille-Willis, who afterwards became his wife, and the mother of his two daughters, Lucille and Georgia. Mr. Ballenger was a liberal thinker, but a fearless fighter when the interest of his race was at stake. Fine of features and strong in body, he was naturally an intellectual giant, though his educational advantages were meagre. It was interesting to watch the light of passion and sympathy that came and went as his enthu- MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE By Editor Bass of The California At last Tuesday's meeting of the Minisers' Alliance, J. 3. Bass, editor of this journal, was the speaker of the day. He chose for his subject "The Ministry and the Press," and formed comparisons as to the part these two great agencies are taking and should take in the great work to be accomplished for good. At the conclusion of the address they paid the speaker the high compliment by unanimously adopting address in its entirety as the sentiment of the Alliance. Tuesday's meeting was largely attended, several delegations of ladies were in attendance and had hearings before them. Also the Allensworth school proposition came up for action, the coning picture show of "The Clansman," and the observance of Lincoln Day. Sec. 4. The term of office of the trustees shall be four years, except that, in appointing the first board of trustees, the Governor shall appoint two members for 1 year, one for two years, one for three years, and one for four years. They shall be governed and regulated by the laws governing and regulating the normal schools of this State, in so far as the same are applicable to an institution of this kind. Chas. E. Toney, successful Negro attorney of New York, on last Friday won suit in discrimination case for members of the race. What is accomplished along this line in New York can be done in Los Angeles. Sec. 5. The sum of fifty thousand dollars is hereby appropriate out of the moneys belonging to the state not otherwise appropriated, for the purchase of a site, the construction and furnishing of the necessary buildings, and the maintenance of said school. Maj. John R. Lynch says he attributes his success in life to the fact that he was never afraid to die. We would that we had many more like him. If we had we believe the Negro of America would not suffer the indignities which he does today. Sec. 6. The Csntroller of the State is hereby authorized to draw warrants from time to time as the work shall progress, in favor of said board of trustees, upon their requisition for the same, and the State Treasurer is directed to pay the same. Sec. 7. The moneys hereby appropriated shall be expended under the direction of the said board of Last Thursday evening at Washington and Central hall was the scene of a historical event for the Knights and Daughters of siasm ebbed and flooded, as when he related his experiences in the days of American slavery and his fight against the unions for admittance or a chance on the outside to secure honorable employment in his profession for the support of his family. As a churchman he linked his hope with the Salvation army, because their methods of doing religious service appealed to his democratic ideas of service to others. Only those who approached Henry Ballenger in the wee days of this life, when his frailty of bodily, age prohibited him from being active in politics, society and church, realize what an illustrious character he was, for as his physical strength failed, his intellect brightened. His life is an inspiration to the early settlers and a guide to new comers. His wife having died about twelve years ago, also his eldest daughter, Miss Georgia Ballenger, who for seven years was a school teacher in the state of Texas, he leaves only one daughter, Mrs. Lucile Kemp, and her two daughters and one son to mourn his loss. Mrs. Kemp has always been a faithful daughter, and was with her daughter, with her arms entwined about his neck when he passed out. "For the soul is dead that slumbers" cannot be said of Henry Ballenger. Tabor. On this occasion a Temple and Tabernacle with forty or fifty new members were installed in New Bulah Tabernacle. Enthusiasm ran wild among the members of the order, who are determined to make this one of the best in the state. Sir W. B. Rich and his co-workers are together in their efforts to do good. In our special Lincoln anniversary number we plan to give a vivid history of the order. THE PRENTICE NEW IDEA STORE. It is simply an idea of what could be done by concentrated effort. Less than four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Prentice started a little store on Ninth street with less than $100.00 worth of stock. Today they are sole proprietors of the two largest dry goods stores owned and operated by Colored people in Southern California—one on Ninth street, not far from Central, the other at Third and Rose. It is needless to say anything about support, for it you have any pride, whether race or otherwise, you will lend your support. Latest News. On our way to press we received the sad news of the death of James Johnson, an old settler of Los Angeles. He was prominent in church circles and a strong personality. His funeral services will take place Monday at Mount Zion Baptist Church. We are in receipt of excellent reports from Mt. Zion. It is said that Rev. and Mrs. J.T. Hill have joined hands and hearts to accomplish much good at Zion. 31 South Fair Oaks avenue BRENNEL Respon Brenwood Cl 37 North Raymond avenue ATS NNER & W BRENNER & WOOD Responsible For Good Clothes of C mond avenue Brenwood Clothes of Quality MEN'S FURNISHINGS LEXNER Phone Colorado 7100 Balloon Dye Works All Work Called For and Delivered Promptly Gents' Suits 75c Steam or Dry Cleaned Ladies' Suits $1.00 121 W.

WEAVER THE STAR ICE CREAM COMPANY Makers of and Dealers in PURE ICE CREAM AND SHERBET ICE FOR SALE 1534 East 14th St., Los Angeles Men fighting for it under the cavor by wanting to confer with Assemblyman Fred C. Scott of Tulare, who has the bill in charge. Mr. Scott in an interview said that he believed that separate schools are essential to the welfare of the Negro, yet some of the colored people who want to teach school say, this thing of segregation is only a nightmare; but just as soon as these schools begin to run you will find that it is a race horse, with the first barn built at Allensworth. Read the Chronicle and the Sacramento Union and see what they say about it. Did you ever think about it: that all trains leaving Los Angeles for the East go through San Bernardino, but when they reach the end one of them is in New Orleans, one in New York and the other one in Chicago. Some of them run over other lines; some of them through Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. We will say to those people who are not satisfied with our schools, why don't you go back South where you can have your Jim Crow school. We had some of this same kind of trouble some time ago with one Mr. Simms in Los Angeles. Now it springs up in Allensworth, where the population is less than 300. There are only 40 pupils, and they have two teachers and a nice school house. They say that there will be no separate school law enacted this session, and if this kind of ambition, like that at Allensworth keeps up, we will soon have Jim Crow schools. Do you remember how the Japanese fought that segregation school bill and we were threatened with war by Japan? Let us not seek to separate our schools that some of our friends may benefit by it. It is strange to say that when this same thing came up some time ago they were opposed to it, but now they favor it. There is something wrong somewhere. Does Allensworth need a school of that kind? While perhaps it was Col. Allensworth ambition to have the school there, I notice he did stay there; he did not die there; and he was not buried there. Allensworth is an agricultural colony and not an educational center, and ninety per cent. of the colored people at Pasadena are opposed to the so-called segregated school. LOCALS. Mrs. Mary Gatewood received a telegram a few days ago from Kentucky, telling of the death of her sister-in-law. Which is the larger, Allensworth or the State of California? It is time to act when your people lose sight of the race for personal ambition? Assemblyman H. J. Fish and Senator W. J. Carr of Pasadena will vote against the Scott segregation school bill, although Mr. Scott says it would be best for the Negro to have separate schools. The greatest address delivered Sunday was by Rev. A. C. Williams, pastor of the Providence Institutional Church, against the segregation school at Allensworth. Mrs. W. F. Bland and her little son Frank, of Butte, Mont., is stopping at Mrs. Sarah Robert's, at 955 South Fair Oaks ave. Mrs. Bland expects to spend the winter in this city. She is a woman of some ability, and for a number of years was connected with her husband in the newspaper business, and she will be quite an addition to Pasadena society. After the great victory was won by the late editor J. L. Edmonds in saving Edward Silver from hanging after he had shot to kill an officer in San Bernardino. The Forum attended a banquet at Dawson's restaurant, where covers were laid for 100. This was during the administration of Mr. Thomas A. Cole, who was president at the time of Edward Silver's trial. At the banquet President Cole sat at one end of the table and the late editor J. L. Edmond was at the other end. President T. A. Coles' administration will go down in history as the greatest of the forum. Mr. Cole was president two terms, but his last was his best and they wanted him to run again but he refused to become a candidate. We would like to have such a man for president. So let us groom some man for the place. We are sorry to learn that Mr.Cole will leave in a few days for the East, for an indefinite stay. Mrs. E. A. Baldwin Entertains Mrs. E. A.

On last Friday evening Professor and Madam Cuffee were the guests of honor at a luncheon tendered them by their mother and sister, Mrs. Carter and Miss Rosa Sampson, at the cozy, home of Miss Sampson, 1643 E. 22nd street, the occasion being the first wedding anniversary of the happy couple. After the sumptuous repast, the guests were held spell bound till the hours grew small, by the miraculous tricks performed by Prof. Cuffee, which he does with no mean ability and grace. The unique feature of the evening was a beautiful baby cap made of white wool, outlined with white fur, and the cap was entirely covered with lovely white satin with bows. Each guest took a bow from the cap, wishing that there would be another magician added to the Cuffee family ere another year should elapse. Prof. Cuffee rescued the cap from a burning hat. Madam Sul-Te Wan-Conley, a theatrical star, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Benfro and Mr. Davis did much to entertain the guests, while Miss Marie Prentice, rendered sweet music.

ALITY Is it possible that Los Angeles will lower its dignity as one of the leading American cities by allowing even the picture play of the "Clansman," a picture in fiction that lowers the standard in the eyes of the people of the moral dignity of six millions of its faithful citizens by one Thomas Dixon, whose ability as a modern fiction writer has dwindled in insignificance in the eyes of the American people, because of his petty prejudices, hurled at a struggling people only fifty-two years up from slavery. The American Negro has ever been ready to protect and defend the rights and interests of Americans. For more than three hundred years the Negroes of this country have been demonstrating a spirit of ready service without any hope of returns. But like every story or condition there is a erisis. And this is the chapter of Negro history that we are facing in this country today. States and legislatures must reckon with the Negro as a component part of its citizenship. The Negroes of Los Angeles have said that inasmuch as the "Clansman" serves as an agency to stir up race.hatred, and further inasmuch as it has been denied admittance by many of the Northern and Southern cities of this country, we demand that it be denied theatrical recognition in Los Angeles. HON. C. W. FAIRBANKS FOR PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. Ex. Vice-President Chas. W. Fairbanks of Indiana, who is spending the winter in our county at Pasadena, is being prominently mentioned as the Republican standard bearer for 1916. Now there is hardly any question of the next President of this country being a republican; the people have certainly had this time an overdose of democracy and are impatient marking time to vote out free trade and incompetency. And in looking over the field the Honorable ex-Vice President would fill this position to the utmost. His record as vice-president and his loyalty to the principles of the protective tariff and his stand as a man for all of the people are highly appreciated by all, and he will be a strong contender for this high office with the great masses of our citizenship in case that he shall stand for the nomination. square deal, no special privileges; so while the races are getting on in peace and harmony, we trust as mayor he will see fit to bar from our city the production of the clansman in any form. It has been barred in all of our large eastern cities, and in the very South itself, on the ground of inciting race prejudice, and we trust that it shall meet a like fate here. The Negro vagrant politicians just as well get themselves job sas the Negro press will show them up if they attempt to put on anything in future campaigns. We advise them to get a job or do something, before they go around telling people what they should do; these parasites are a blot and disgrace they have got by long enough. We shall from now on show them up. The colored citizens should by all means call a monster mass meeting and enter a vigorous protest against the indignities which are being heaped upon us at this time, the clansman and the jitney busses putting in vogue Jim Crow rule should receive a knock-out blow. And it is up to the people to make the first move against these evils. Supervisor Norton has been a staunch friend to the colored citizens. It was through his efforts that colored help has been employed at the county hospital, and he has indicated his intention to further give them recognition along other lines. He has always received from them a strong support. I'o purchase Furniture, Rugs, Gas Ranges, Wood and Coal Stove etc. The Prices are right; the Goods are as recommended; the Service is prompt. A complete line of house furnishings New and Second Hand The efforts of our local Negro Business league to become a factor for the advancement of our people in this community should receive every encouragement, and all of our people who stand for progress should put their shoulders to the wheel to further its success. If President Wilson sits supinely by and without protest allowed the Mexican bandits to murder American citizens, he could not be expected to protest against the wholesale lynchings that are now being perpetrated in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. Our people should take great pride and interest in the Lincoln and Douglass birthday exercises to be given in this city during next month. S. M. Bashor & Co. Poultry and Rabbits The law makers have recessed at Sacramento, and are now going to their respective homes for 30 days to hear from the people. We dress to order.

We Carry a full line of CIGARS and GROCERIES ALL FRUITS IN SEASON K. N. GROCERY 1401 East Ninth St. Los Angeles, Cal. If the clansman shows here it means prejudice will be so thick that you cannot cut it with a knife. Other evils may come or go, but we still have the jitney buss with us. Well it's not so much hard times It is simply democratic times. MORE PLACES FOR NEGROES West's Seventh Street Store 1801 E.

Owen informs us that he has succeeded in gaining from the allied liquor industries the request to employ Negro help in their drinking emporiums. Now as long as the state legalizes this traffic it is not out of propriety for our people to be employed in such capacity as workmen in said places. And whether it is regarded for sop for the support of this people or no, it is very fortunate that conditions have been brought about whereby thousands of dollars annually will be put in circulation amongst us. And credit is due Mr. Owens for his efforts along these lines, and he will place industrious, sober and reliable men in these positions only. table and Fhny Groceries Fruits and Vegetables.

It is meet and proper that we should do something to show our appreciation for our fore-parents who came up from slavery, and who in the face of most cruel oppression have risen to heights of civilization and christianization that dazzle the whole world.

A GREAT BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION By Prof. Charles Alexander Every reader of this journal should have a copy of "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth," the great book just published by Sherman, French & Company of Boston, Mass., written by Prof. Charles Alexander of Los Angeles, California. This wonderful book contains the narrative of the life of Colonel Allen Allensworth, who rose from the lowest levels of degradation in slavery to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army of the United States, the highest rank yet attained by a colored man; and it also contains the history of the Negro race from the beginning of the slave trade in the United States up to the present time. This book is written in the most fascinating style, with bits of moral philosophy and sound wisdom, altogether admirable. It is intensely interesting to readers of every class. It is one of the really great books on the Negro question—a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Orders sent to Prof. Charles Alexander, 502 Thorpe Building, Los Angeles, California, will be given prompt attention. The book contains over 400 pages and sells for $1.70 postage prepaid. Books of this kind usually sell for $3.00. Agents wanted. OUR PRESIDENT AND VICE By Eva Carter Buckner.

Harris, who brought to us some very interesting thoughts. At 11 o'clock Rev. C. H. Davis filled the pulpit and preached on the subject of the "Bible," his text was from 2 Timothy 8:16. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man af God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished in all good good works," he brought out several good points of the bible, being God's inspired book of books and that it was God's revelation of himself to man and that we must be willing to become a fool so as to understand the bible. He also said that it was the only reasonable plan of salvation as all else will fail, but God's word shall stand forever. Rev. Davis also preached in the evening in the absence of the pastor. The installation which was to have taken place was postponed until later on. Bro. H. T. F. Williams of New York was with us; his stay in our city is indefinite. We are always glad to welcome him home. Our dear Sister Gloyer still remains very ill. Sister Kyle is somewhat improved, though still confined at home. At the meeting of the executive board of Sunday School Union last Friday night all the officers were re-elected again to serve this year. Bro. T. A. Harris being the president and Sister Strickland remains secretary, having held that position for several years. The bible class is still being conducted by the pastor each evening. from 7 to 8 and the prayer meeting conducted by Miss Edith Jefferson every evening from 6:30 to 7, also the prayer meeting Sunday morning led by Deacon Walkerr Those wishing prayer please come out, it will do you good. The pastor, Rev. J. D: Gordon, will preach Sunday morning and evening. Mt. Zion Baptist Church We had a glorious time all day at Mt. Zion last Sunday. In spite of the bad weather we had an az- cellent attendance. We had three to join. Our collection was good. Some of our old members who have been away a long time were present. The pastor presached at the morning service a very strong and spiritual sermon, his subject was, "By Night." At the evening service the first of a series of sermons on "The Wandering Boy." The music was good, the baritone solo by Prof. Archie Williams, the trombone solo by Harry Southard and the soprano solo by Miss Minnie Albritton were well received. The Parents Association met in the afternoon, they too had a very good meeting. Our B.Y.P.U. under Prof. Williams is taking on new life. We are trying to make our Young People's Union the best in the state. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at both services. At the morning service his subject will be, "The Predestined Hour," at the evening service he will preach his second of a series of sermons on the "Wandering Boy." At the evening service the choir will render a special number "The Boy and the Bible." All are welcome. ARCHIE WILLIAMS, Church Reporter.

The 8th St. Christian Church 1323 E. 8th Street. D. L. McMickens, Minister. The Silver Star bible class met at the home of Mrs. A. E. Harris, 1514 West 36th street last Friday. The evening was spent in interesting bible study. The lessons are becoming more and more interesting. The class meets every Friday evening at 8:30. Next meeting at the address stated above. Visitors are cordially invited. Also persons wishing to join. The choir is doing exceedingly well under the direction of Prof. Bynum. In the morning the pastor occupied the pulpit, his sermon was, "Gideon's Victory Through God," Jerrubbaal, otherwise known as Gidoon, was a powerful young man from a despised family whom God chose to deliver the Israelites from the Midiamites. Gideon being a man from a despised family as above stated, doubted the truth of the message conveyed to him by the Angel of the Lord. Therefore he asked for a sign from God as proof which was given him (Judges 6:36-30. Gideon started out with 32,000 men in his army, but God saw there were too many as they would not give Him the glory if the Midiamites were delivered into their hands, but boast of their own power and victory. So God told Gideon "all the men who are afraid send them home and 22,000 confessed and returned to their home leaving 10,000 in the army. There were still too many and God gave Gideon a sign by which he could tell who and how many of the 10,000 he should take when they want to drink. After this test there were only 300 left. By this number God gave the Midiamites into their hands not by might or by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). Let us therefore do with our might whatever is assigned to our hands, be it ever so small. We will always gain the victory if led by God's power. Gideon had no sword as a man of war, but instead he had God's word and spirit as Paul said to the christian, "Take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, it is living and powerful." In spite of the rainy weather in the evening there were the faithful few out to hear the message given by God through Bro.I.J. Williams. He taken for his text Jonah 1:6. He told God's command, given to the prophet Jonah, which was disobeyed and for which God caused him to be swallowed by a whale. Though Johah was sinful God was with him and caused the whale to deliver Jonah on the land, there God nourished him until able to fulfill the mission he was sent on. He explained that "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." By the fulfillment of God's command Nineveh was saved. Sunday, January 31. Rev. McMickens will occupy the pulpit.

Anderson, D. D., Pastor In spite of the inc'ement weather last Sunday the holy spirit was present when pastor, Rev. C. H. Anderson, preached a powerful sermon, subject, "The Righteous Happy in Poverty," Psalm 37:16. In his discourse he said a little that a righteous man hath is better than riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. At 9:45 a.m. the Sunday school was called to order which was largely attended and the subject was most edifing, 'Gideon and the Three Hundred,' many interesting points were brought out.

DEATH SENTENCE AGAIN FOR BUNDY An order was issued by Superior Judge Willis directing that Louis Bundy and Burr L. Harris, convicted murderers, be brought back to Los Angeles from San Quentin and Folsom penitentiaries, respectively, to be resentenced to be hanged. The order was issued on application of Arthur Keetch, deputy district attorney, acting under instructions of District Attorney Woolwine. The dates for the murderers to be resentenced will be set later. Bundy killed his schoolboy friend, Harold Ziesche, after robbing him of $20 with which to entertain a girl friend Harris slew Mrs. Rebecca P. Gay, a prominent Christian Science practiconer in a downtown office building. [From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds.] Red Wing, Minn., Jan. 26—To her former pupil, Wm. H. Richards, prominent colored attorney of Washington, D. C., whom she educated following the close of the Civil War, Mrs. Julia Nelson, national figure in the cause of woman suffrage and temperance, in her will filed here leaves the bulk of her estate, valued at $20 000. "I begueth to my former pupil," the will states, after her sister and niece have been provided for, "all the rest and residue—William H. Richards, who has cheered my lonely life with sympathy and affection as a son should run." Mr. Nollie B. Murray is one of our hustling young business men who is rapidly forging his way to the front ranks of Los Angeles business men. He came to this city some years ago from Atlanta, Georgia, and has been among those in this section who has always kept pegging away to do something worth while to accentuate the business spirit with profit and credit not only to himself but to the community as well. At one time he owned a string of shining stands located in various parts of the city. He was named King of the Bootblacks. But being of a more ambitious turn of mind he sought to establish a more pretentious business an dopened the Murray Pocket Billiard Emporium, and Cigar Stand on East 9th street near Central avenue, which place he has conducted with a marked degree of success. So it can be seen the possibilities in store for a young man who sticks to business. Mr. Murray was born in Atlanta about 28 years ago, where he was reared and attended the public schools of that city, and as we have said, came to this city where, owing to his sober and industrious habits, honest and just methods of dealing with his many patrons and with an intelligent application to business has brought to himself a large following of friends and an enviable standing with the business world. Murray and his high class way of doing things is indeed a credit to his race. He is the secretary of the great Colored Workingmen's Club of $1520\frac{1}{2}$ East 9th street, and the conduct of this establishment for our workmen is entrusted largely to him, they having faith in his judgment and his absolute honor and integrity. This is an organization that is conducted absolutely in a way different from the usual social club. It is for the convenience of the men that toil and no other than workingmen are sought as members. They have a board of directors composed of leading citizens who meet regularly on each Monday evening and go over the affairs of the organization, and this board insists that the club be kept up to a high standard, and Mr. Murray as its secretary sees to it that the mandates of the board are carried out to the letter. The membership is more than eight hundred and on occasions of meetings or rallies given by the club no hall in the city where our people meet is large enough to seat the crowds which they have been able to draw. It will be remembered in the last campaign that this organization through the efforts of Mr. Murray gave absolutely the greatest meeting of any held during the campaign at Central hall, where all of the notable politicians gathered with J. B. Bass, editor of The Eagle presiding Mr. Murray has associated with him as president of the club, Mr. Bradford Norman, one of our young mechanics who is a finished blacksmith and who until recently, conducted a shop on East 9th street, and many others who space will not permit us to mention.
