I will conduct the city's business in a sane, simple and efficient manner. 3. I will promote the development of the harbor, the completion of the power plant and distribution of power, the speedy distribution of aqueduct water and municipal distribution of water to every section of the city. 4. I shall promote the consolidation of city and county government. 5. I favor a municipal railway to the harbor, when the finances of the city will permit. 6. I will guard the property of the people against special assessments and will insist that the city shall buy all property for delinquent assessments and thereby protect the people from the loan sharks.

While no feature shall be neglected, I will abolish the system of spying and espionage, and drive out the stool-pigeons, who entice people to commit crime in order to arrest them and will put all officers thus employed on a beat. 9. I will continue my endeavor to preserve the credit of the city and keep it upon a sound basis. 10. I will give the most economical administration possible consistent with substantial progress and keep a minimum tax-rate. For five years, I have now served in the City Council where I have been brought in touch with every department of the city government. The knowledge which I have gained in these years of service will enable me to be of greater value to the people as Mayor. Upon this ground, therefore, I appeal to every citizen in Los Angeles and summon to my aid in this campaign all who believe that government is really for the people. E. J. WHIFFEN, STANDING ON HIS FIVE-YEAR PUBLIC RECORD, DRAWS SUPPORT FROM ALL PARTIES Frederick J. Whiffen, by the events of the past week apparently has taken a still farther lead over all his opponents in the Mayoralty race, and there seems to be little doubt but that the president of the City Council will be promoted to the chief executive chair by the people. Mr. Whiffen is receiving no support whatever from the big daily newspapers, but his character and record are so well known to the mass of the people, that the mere knowledge that he can be had for the office of Mayor assures him of a vast vote. Indeed, when he ran for re-election to the City Council he led all the candidates on the ticket. In his signed platform, which is printed in this issue of The Eagle, Mr. Whiffen makes his independence absolutely clear, serving notice that he will make no ```markdown ``` PHONE MAIN·1594 department of the city is used for city without meddling interfer- I will see that the police depart- protect the people against crime. fitted, I will abolish the system of out the stool-pigeons, who entice or to arrest them and will put all leavor to preserve the credit of aid basis. economical administration possiblegress and keep a minimum tax- served in the City Council where with every department of theage which I have gained in these to be of greater value to theground, therefore, I appeal to summon to my aid in this cam- mernment is really for the people. really yours. promises, pledges or trades of any kind to secure votes or other support. He welcomes scrutiny of his public acts and asks support on that basis alone. One significant plank issued over Mr. Whiffen's signature that has aroused much comment is his pledge that the "stool-pigeon" system will be wiped out in the police department and all officers employed in needless raids and spying will be put back, on the beats in unprotected residence districts. John W. Snowden, campaign manager, and the members of the Whiffen Campaign Committee of 1000, comprising prominent men from all classes and political parties — Republicans, Democrats, Socialists and independents—are holding daily sessions at the headquarters in the Merchants Trust building. Meetings have been arranged in all parts of the city and both men and women workers have been assigned for every one of the 446 city precincts. Oral history project CHAS. H. DOUGHERTY FOR CITY COUNCIL. Mr. Charles H. Dougherty, nominee of the Clean Sweep League for city councilman, was born in Philadelphia 36 years ago. He attended the public schools and later graduated from Piersons College, Philadelphia. In 1904 Mr. Dougherty came to Los Angeles. He later organized the Broadway Realty Company, of which he is still the head. The company has for the past seven years occupied the same offices at 519 O. T. Johnson building. Mr. Dougherty is prominently connected with the business and social life of this city. He is president of the Pennsylvania State Society and a prominent member of the Los Angeles Realty Board. "I believe in the principle of municipal ownership and shall strive to complete municipally-owned power plant No. 1 and a distributing system therefore, and to facilitate the completion of the aqueduct and the distribution of its surplus water." "I condemn the present administration and policy of the Board of Public Works (Water Dept.) and pledge myself to assist in changing the same, so that future revenues from the operation of the city water system shall be used for extensions and betterments and not for the purposes unauthorized by the city charter." "I promise to vote to abrogate the 40 and 80 cent per foot extension rule and to refund all monies paid into the city treasury under that rule." "I will do everything in my power to eliminate the 16 privately owned water companies now operating in the city." "I believe the present city water rates to be excessive, since they produce a profit of more than 50 per cent of the gross income, and I favor a reduction of these rates." F. J. WHIFFEN. Los Angeles, Cal., APRIL 10, 1915 ARTHUR H. JONES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL One of the candidate who will receive a hearty support from the Colored voters at the coming primaries is Arthur P. Jones, who is known by his activities at all times in behalf of our people After leaving school Mr. Dougherty moved to New York, where he became a traveling salesman for a surgical instrument house. He is one of the most energetic young men in the entire city, in public affairs, his acquaintance When interviewed last night Mr. Dougherty said, "I am in favor of true representation in the city government, believing that the city council should be composed of representatives from at least nine different districts of the city, so constituted that every portion shall be represented and I denounce the policy of having the council dominated by a majority chosen from a small section of the city." extends to all classes and owing to these facts he would make a councilman who can accomplish things for all of the people. We have known Mr. Jones for some time. We can say for him that he is in every way worthy of the support of our people and we take great pleasure in commending him for the support of all the people for the position of city councilman, subject to the primaries May the 4th. "I condemn the policy of the present city administration in levying special district assessments for general improvements, * ROBERT T. BRAIN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL The announcement of Robert T. Brain as a candidate for the city council is indeed a popular one. Mr. Brain served many years as sheriff of the county and made an enviable record as a public official, and all who know him are pleased to have such an able and experienced person seek the position as alderman and will give to him a hearty support for this position. Mr. Brain stands for the common people, and if nominated and elected he will feel that he is their servant and shall at all times do his utmost in their behalf as a public official. ALEX M. WILLIAMS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL Mr. A. M. Williams, well known realty dealer, with offices in the Security building, is one of the formidable candidates for the city council, and he is asking the support of all classes of our citizenship for this position. Mr. Williams is a clean-cut character and one who stands for a square deal for all, and we can say that in giving him your support you can not give it to a man who is better qualified and who will better serve all of the people all of the time. Mr. Williams it will be remembered successfully managed the campaign of F. E. Woodley for supervisor during the campaign last fall. Wherever he is known he will receive a hearty support, both for the nomination and the election. viz., for parks, outfall sewers, storm drains, branch library sites, tunnels, open cuts, etc., and I pledge myself to advocate a policy of paying for all such improvements out of the general funds of the city." "I favor the one telephone system, either by the consolidation of the two present systems or by municipal ownership." "I favor the development of the present municipal market system, thereby making it easier for the consumer to buy direct from the producer. A CLEAN CITY. R. D. RICHARDS. CIVIC LIBERTY AND EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL CITIZENS. "I favor the appointment by the Mayor, and confirmation by the council, of new men and women on all the city commissions. "I favor a diligent continuation of the development of our harbor. Of the many announcements made by the various candidates appearing before the people none have a broader ring than that of R. D. Richards, who appears as a candidate of all the people without regard to race, color, creed or class. Mr. Richards is one of the most influential citizens of this community and stands for the very highest type of citizenship. His endorsement for the city council by such men as Dr. Charles Edward Locke, ex-mayor; M. P. Snyder, Arthur Letts, and a host of other influential citizens, shows the high esteem in which he is held. Mr. Richards for women has a strong advocate. "In the interest of economy I favor the consolidation of the city and county governments at an early date. I believe that a new charter should be framed for joint city and county government that will restore the plan of dividing the government into three departments, namely: executive, legislative and judicial, and that each department shall be confined strictly to the power which their names indicate. I also believe that the system of recall should be simplified so that the citizen may enter complaints against any officer either elected, appointed, or in classified service, and have the same determined before a judicial tribunal. "I recognize that the jitney bus is a phase of the development of the city and inter-urban rapid transit problem, brought about by the wonderful improvement of the automobile; I therefore favor such reasonable regulation of the same as will protect the lives and interests of the citizens THE PEOPLES FORUM ade Good cate of woman's suffrage and believes that the ballot in the hands of women will be the remedy for many of the ills in civic life. Especially at this time Mr. Richards if elected will reflect much credit upon his constituency. If we are going to make Los Angeles the cleanest, best governed and most desirable place of residence in California, we must have clean men in our public offices. EARLY BIRDS OF SPRING BY ENA CA'TER BUCKNER. Robin redbreast, bleubird gay, Truant one why did you stay? Long we've waited you to bring The first message of the Spring. But, oh, see on yonder hill, Winter's Snow is lingering still; And we fear the storm-king bold Will return and bring more cold 'E'en the flowers in their beds Will not lift their drowsy heads, They're half afraid to start 'Till your knowledge you impart. Ah, the snow so white and warm, Will do nothing any harm; It is as a gentle rain, Bringing things to life again. Brook and stream and mountain rill Soon the melting snow shall fill, And all Nature will rejoice, Spring is calling, hear her voice? Though the storm-king hovers near. Yet his wrath you need not fear; When Spring wields her magic wand Then old Winter must be gone. And the time is not remote When the songsters' tuneful throat Loud will make the woodland ring With the melodies of Spring. And the flowers, rich and rare, Scatter fragrance in the air, Humming bird and honey bees Sipping sweets from flower and trees Robin tluebird, truthful sign We will trust you every time, Glad tidings to us you bring, Welcome early birds of Spring. JOHN T. KIGGENS Possibly the most unique character of the present campaign is John T. Kiggens. Mr. Kiggens is an attorney of some forty years experience and hails from that part of the country where the underground railroad operated so effectively, Iowa. Mr. Kiggens is unquestionably one of the most remarkable characters of this [Pictorial portrait of a man in formal attire, with a decorative frame around his head.] present day. Able, fearless, aggressive, he possesses the highest conception regarding civic responsibilities and duties and would if elected make a real representative of all the people in the council chamber of this city. Mr. Kiggens is a sworn foe to the graft and greed of public office and can be depended upon to do his utmost to bring any official to account wherever corruption appears. Mr. Kiggens has by his integrity and honesty won for himself the name of Honest J. T., and those who know him best are giving him the warmest support.

Moore; sextette, "Hail the Glorious Dawn," Mrs. Roberts, Misses Olive and Zenobia Duncan, Louise Beavers, Misses Carr and Danley; "Lift Your Glad Voice," by Miss Olive Duncan; Anthem Inflamatus by Mrs. Roberts. Twenty-five minutes was taken to render a short cautata, touching on the resurrection and the life of Christ. The choir rendered six selections. It was the grandest Easter service ever held at the church. At the A. M. E. church it is said that it was the grandest Easter service ever held in the church, and too much praise cannot be given to Prof. Moore, the Sunday school superintendent. The service was beautiful, the scene one long to be remembered and the church was packed from the doors to the pulpit. The flowers were banked up, calla lillies were everywhere, while doves made of flowers were all around the ceiling. Rev. Bussey preached at 11 a. m. The Sunday school collection was $31. The trustees planned a special rally and it was a grand success. The total collection was $685. The Ballard orchestra furnished music in the evening. Mrs. Corine Hicks, the chorister at the Metropolitan Baptist church, can not be given too much praise for her good work. Mr. Hicks is one the broadest singers in the city and is always ready to help some of the churches. Mrs. Wm. Brook entertained the Kansas and Missouri club at her home on Division street Monday evening. Forty-four were present. It was an apron and egg social, The supper was grand; five courses were served. Mrs, J, A, Teat, the mistress of ceremonies, deserves much credit for the nice program she got up. The club will stage a cantata some time in May. The club is doing a great work. Mrs. William H. Corry entertained the Georgia club Tuesday evening at her home, 807 Garfield avenue. The house was beautifully decorated in Georgia colors, and many Georgians were present. The Corncrackers had a good time, it being out of season. There were no Augusta melons or Georgia Peaches there, but everything else that was in season. Mrs. Corry proved to be a great hostess. The club meet a once a week; it will meet at 82 Allesandro place, Mrs. McMickens's, next Tuesday evening. There were 25 present. All Georgians are welcome. Mrs. J. A. Teat of Santa Rosa avenue, was the guest of Mrs. Fry at W, 35th street Saturday, visiting Mrs. W. H. Washington of Topeka, Kansas. Mrs. Washing'on is an ex-President of the Woman's Federated clubs of Kansas. To Organize a Brotherhood. At Scott Chapel Sunday after noon at 3 p. m., the brotherhood from Wesley Chapel will be present, also the brotherhood from the A. M. E. church and from Friendship Baptist church, and the Metropolitan Baptist church of this city is invited. All ladies are welcome. Attorney H. E. McBeth, of Los Angeles, will have charge of the meeting. Mr. Norman Griffin entertained his relatives and a few friends Monday evening at his home, 124 Waverly Drive, iu honor of his wife's birthday. Among the invited were Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Long, Mr. and Mrs. W. H, McMickens, Mr. and Mrs. Stricklin, Miss Estella Harts and Mr. John Harris. Mrs. Stricklin assisted in receiving. Mr. and Mrs. Griffin were married a few weeks ago. Mr. Griffin came here from Georgia and Mrs. Griffin from South Carolina, for Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, the Eagle makes this wish to you: This is thy birthday, may it be A source of happiness to thee, And may each birthday yet in store Be brighter than the one before. It is said that the largest vote that ever was registered by the colored voters was cast at the election Thursday. Much of it was due to the great work of the Taxpayers' association. Mr. W. F. Culler ran second, he received 3,593 votes. He is the only candidate that ever had a business on the West side to be elected; so all of that side supported him. It was a great victory for the Taxpayers' association. Let the good work go on. Secretary Wm. Solomon said it would be an April fool for some one. We see where you were right Bill. Easter service at Friendship church was excellent. Dr.Riddle preache the sermon to a large congregation. The B. Y. P. U. had a neat program. Mrs.Eva Solomon sang one of the best and sweetest solos we have heard on Easter Sunday. A.H. Avens, the superintendent, proved to be one of the best in the city at the Metropolitan. They held their services in the afternoon. Mr.J.T. Long, the superintendent had the children well trained, and he deserves much praise. Sunday morning et 11 o'clock Dr. Maither, the superintendent, will preach at Scott Chapel. In the afternoon attorney McBeth will have charge of the meeting, a men's meeting. All are welcome; ladies also. Mrs. Prof. H. D. Greer was a pleasant visitor in our city last Saturday. Prof. Greer owns a beautiful home in this city, on Yale street. Rev. Dyatt continues to improve. E. W. Small was in the city Tuesday. Mr. Small is running on the rilroad, between this city and Frisco. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Long will leave this city about the 20th for Todd, California, near Bosto, where he has bought a ranch. Their many friends regret to have them leave. Attorney H. E. McBeth of Los Angeles will speak Sunday after noon to the men of this city, at Scott Chapel. All men are welcome; no charges, seats free. Dr. Riddle, the pastor of Friendship Baptist church of this city, says he don't see why the people of Los Angeles call the Allenworth school proposition a step towards segregation, that he thought it was prejupice. I will say to the doctor that there are many things that we do not see. Our great hope we do not see, that is heaven. Solomon had more wisdom than all of Egypt, yet there were things he did not see, for he went wrong. Read the 1 King iv-29 to 33, then read 1 King ix-1 to 6. Then remember how Nicodemus, ruler of the Jews, came to Jesus. He thought he would come at night, when no one could see him. He wanted to know how could a man be born when he was old, but Jesus answered him. So you see that there were things he could not see; and I do not believe that it is prejudice on the part of the people of Los Angeles to oppose that school. I will say this: Prof. W. A. Payne and Mr. O, O. Overr are both members, or were members of Friendship Baptist church of this city, of which Dr. Riddle is now pastor; I further say that Mr. G. W. Sims who sought to have the charter so Mrs. E. KEELING FAMOUS ANTI-KINK POMADE Will make the hair Grow Straight, Thick and retain its natural healthy appearance MRS. E.

I will stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong. So don't let us say that people are prejudiced too soon, because they don't see as we see. Do you remember the marriage at Canaan, Galilee, when the wine gave out, and Jesus had six water pots of stone and he had them filled up to the brim, and he told them to draw out now; and when they tasted the water, now become wine, drank freely and called it the best wine. I don't believe they could see as some of us can see today.

John Brisben Walker, formerly a magazine publisher now retired, to a Colorado estate, announced through the Editor and Publisher an offer to give a site of forty acres at Mount Morrison, Colo., to establish a home for newspaper men. Mr. Walker stated that he had reached the decision to offer the gift after conferences with New York journalists. In his announcement, Mr. Walker declared that "although no profession makes more serious demands on the health of its members than that of journalism, no attempt has been made up to this time to establish a country home where those who have given their best efforts to the press may find a retreat in the event of a temporary or permanent breakdown." Anti-Tipping Bill The Iowa House recently passed the anti-tipping bill prohibiting proprietors of hotels and restaurants and conductors on dining and sleeping cars from allowing employees to receive gratuities. Lands on Head The possession of a head of adamantine strength, concrete properties and elastic tendencies recently saved the life of an unknown negro who engaged in a fight with Joseph Aquilla of 509 Banning street. The colored man entered the room of Aquilla, hit him on the head with a beer bottle. Joe pushed his assailant out of the second story window. The falling man turned over in the air and struck on his head on the stone sidewalk below. Then he got up, shook his fist at the wondering Joe and began to run. Where he is now is a mystery. Venice, Ocean Park, Santa Monica Miss Aline Chatman is now living in Venice. The B. Y. P. U. gave an entertainment at the home of J. Allen Reese last Friday evening; quite a crowd gathered and enjoyed the evening. The lecturer of the Masonic lodge paid his visit to Crescent Bav Lodge last week.

No fatalities were recorded. Walker on a Harley Davidson won first prize and also broke the world's record. Mr. and Mrs. John Williams are now residing at 545 Westminster and Venice. Among those from the bay who attended the Morris-Wheaton nuptials were Mrs. Strother Howard, Mrs. Sheefield, Mrs. Standy, Mr. and Mrs. Honston Rhodes. The Sunday School of the First Baptist church rendered an Easter program Sunday evening. The same consisted of songs, recitations, dialogues, etc. by the children. They say— —A prominent young Venetian paid $4.50 for a young lady's kiss, —he found himself waiting at the church, —that evil communications corrupt good manners. —The syndicate failed to put in appearance last Friday. —that he was struck with a brick when he heard her name The Examiner of Friday morning says that Johnson at the Reno fight hald up the fight until a division of the purse was arranged for. Such is positively not the case as it was Jeffries himself who on the morning of the fight, thru his representatives, asked for a 60-40 basis instead of the 75-25 which the articles called for. This statement is vouchered for by Prof. Watson Burns of this city, who acted for Johnson and signed the papers. Mrs. Anna Hedge Smith was in the city Thursday and visited at the Eagle office.

Moulden has been on the sick list for about a week, but not confined to his bed. He has been suffering with his tonsils. The Odd Fellows met on Monday night for their business meeting. Mr. T. Love, J. Downing and G. Young were the out of town members in attendance. They expect to initiate four or five new members the first meeting night in May. Mrs. M. Crawford and Mr. Brunson have gone to Los Angeles to the bedside of their father who is very sick and not expected to recover. The Easter day services were very successful, financially and spiritually, at the Zion Methodist church. Miss Ella Rousseau had a splendid paper on "The First Missionary." Mrs. Burchial Barrett, an excelletn paper on "True Missionary Spirit" and Mr. Mack Moulden a paper on "Our Church Extension Work and How it Harmonizes with Our Missionary Department." This paper was excellent and enlightening many as to the need of the church extension. The Sunday school held their exercises in the afternoon. The Second Baptist church is holding a week of prayer beginning Monday night, April 5th. Mr. John Fuller and family have moved to Oakland to make that their future home. Mr. Ed. Coney, former resident of Hanford, but now of Fresno, was in our city Sunday. Miss Leona Moore returned to Bakersfield on last Wednesday evening, after a very pleasant visit here with friends. The Central Division will hold their next reciprocity day meeting in Bakersfield, April 29th. A good delegation is expected to go from here. Mrs. Ella Ewing served the Woman's club to a very dainty tea on last Tuesday afternoon. A very interesting picnic will take place Friday, when the W. P. C. will meet at their property holdings on Second, and with the aid of visitors will clear off the sidewalks from weers. A fine picnic lunch will be served. .Charles Alexander will appear at the Woman's Club house (white) on the 8th. He will recite Dunbar. REDLANDS Easter burst forth in Redlands like a new-born babe and even the sun seemed to sing "Peace on Earth, Good will to All men," as it gradually peeped above the horizon Easter morning. The Second Baptist church took the Lord's Supper, which was administered by Rev. Cooper of San Bernardino, and in the evening the A. M. E. church gave a beautiful program in remembrance of the risen Christ. It was very beautifully delivered. Mrs. Amanda Williams returned home Tuesday evening from Pasadena, where she has been spending a very sweet Easter with friends. Redlands was blessed to have Mr. Julian Fisher of monrovia in her midst for Easter. Mr. Fisher is a very accomplished violinist and we felt as though our Easter program would not have been complete without his assistance. Mr. The Allen Allensworth Literary and Industrial Club meets every thir dWednesday at the residence, 1468 East 20th street. Mrs. C. Hulbert, Pres.

Mr. Forest Holson is confined to his room, having undergone a serious operation of the head. We hope for his speedy recovery.

Oscar DePriest a Negro who formerly was commissioner of Cook county was elected as an alderman from the second ward in Chicago last Tuesday; Lets wake up and elect S. P. Dones here in Los Angeles. The war in England also had something to do with the shifting of the championship title. The fellow who is going around with his hammer on legitimate persons or concerns is only injuring himself and not the other fellow. SIDNEY P. DONES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL Without malice to any other racial or non-racial candidate, we want to say unequivocally and without reservation that The Eagle is strong for Sidney P. Dones as a candidate for the city council and shall urge with all our might for him a strong support from al classes. We shall not make this campaign along any color line, but as a young business man in this community who has made good with a vengeance we are advocating his election. We are firm believers in the doctrine that a public servant should be chosen from among those who have made good themselves before entrusting to them the business of the people. So now this splendid young man who has been a success in the business world, who is alert and wide awake to every need, should receive from all classes a strong support as a recognition to worth and as a representative from a faithful ally in every movement for progress of the city, state or nation. JOHNSON'S DEFEAT. This week the Colored press no doubt will be scanned closely for expressions anent the Johnson-Willard prize fight pulled off at Havana on last Monday. Now, while a big majority of the people try to bring themselves to believe that everything was alright and that the fight was on the level, there are things which happened that will not let this just desire prevail absolutely. The big syndicate which staked their all on Jess Willard, who is only a mediocre fighter, to say the least. It looks as though Johnson is a mighty big man in this syndicate. And that he at all times played the trump cards. With him the championship honors had lost its glitter and it was a case of get every dollar out of it he could. He joined the syndicate, fulfilled his part to the letter and now wha will the harvest be? He, like Edward Everett Hale's ```markdown ``` classic, "A Man Without a Country," carrying a title without remuneration was perhaps not to the ex-champion's liking, and it is reasonable at least that this hypothesis can be absolutely true. Permit me to invite attention to one of the most important branches of our city government through which "full dinner pails" might or ought to be had for our Colored laborers and carpenters, I refer to our Board of Education. This department expends more than three million dollars each year and does not give employment to but two Colored men as carpenters, with an army of white men employed specially during the vacation period of more than four months each year. We may not complain that a large number of these men are foreigners or that they are met of Socialistic affiliation, which is in every sense prejudicial to the American form of government, yet they are given employment and the Negro who is ever loyal is not wanted. "Tis true that out of 175 school grounds with nearly 300 buildings we have a few Colored janitors, btu that is not a fair distribution of the representation due us. If during the vacation period several hundred extra laborers and carpetners are employed, is there any good reason why a few Colored men should not be given a chance? It has been the policy of this department to do considerable repair work during vacation time and we ought to have a chance to work. We are buying homes and paying tax that go to the schools and we have a just rigth to ask the board to employ some of our men who are capable to render the service demanded We are now on the eve of an election of a Board of Education for rthe next four years, only one of the old members is in the race for election and it is now our time to secure an understanding along this line. I believe that if the interest of the race in this city is turned over to the local press and that we do all we can to keep the curb-stone politicians out of the deal that the press will be able to get some results for the good of the whole people. By this I do not mean that any man should be called an obstructionist who advocates the interest of his friend or his choice, but that no man should represent that he can deliver the Negro vote to any candidate. We are too far from slavery days to be handled in that way. We are freemen and we vote an unincumbered ballot and it is not within the cabelto of any man to deliver us into the hands of any candidate, and it is right here that we get it in the neck so bad that after the election is over we can't get in a mile of an office holder to make known our grievances. Let the press take this matter u pand agitate for the race. Point out to us the pitfalls and let us put our trust in them. I don't believe that they will deceive us. Let's give them one good fair trial and see if they can't do something substantial and profitable for the race. We need to cry out in this day and in this city, for we are being cut out on almost every hand. We are really suffering on account of race discrimination an odur cry ought to be long and loud. The old way has proven a failure and we must now adopt another or we will soon be on the hands of the charitable public. I know that the office seeker will say there is no cause for alarm, but he does not know like we do. We are a smiling race, even when we are in the tight grip of adversity and he can't tell when we are hunrggy from when we have plenty, but we know and feel the shutting of the door of opportunity every day right in our very faces and it is all because we are Colored people. Let it be known through the press that we are a discontented people because we are discriminated against. Let it be known through the press that we know that it is not a square deal and let us not cast our votes for men who will ignote our cries after they are in office. The last election was or ought to be a lesson for all of us. Not a single promise has been kept. Everyone of them have broken faith with us. Now let the press get to work and let us give them hearty support and let them sound aloud the cry and grievances of the Colored people of this city. Our men need work. Our wives and children are crying for a chance to earn bread. This is the time to know the men that want office and to know for a certainty that they will give us a square deal. F. H. CRUMBLY.

Sunny South Jublee Singers Make Lasting Impression The few who responded to an invitation to Gamut Auditorium last Tuesday evening and listened to the singing and other musical numbers, by the Sunny Sout Jubilee Singers, were agreeably surprised as well as thoroughly delighted. Barring not even the Mme. Huckley and Tuskegee singers, the programme rendered on this occasion stands top notch with any. The male quartette in reproduction, impersonation and general stage manners were good. Among the special artists who appeared on this occasion were Miss Minnie Albritton, Miss Antonette Young, and Miss Naomi McCullen. Too much praise cannot be tendered the management of this concert. We are proud to know that Mr. W. W. Allen of our race is employed by the Crown Dental Co and making good. When you need a dentist go and encourage Mr. Allen. It was a treat to hear Rev. Hubbard's Sunny South Jubilee Singers Monday night at Gamut auditorium. You must hear them to know how to appreciate their efforts. The U.

P AT RUG STORE SAN PEDRO Call once and you will call again SAN DIEGO DIVISION Mrs. Nellie Nelson and Miss B. Hall returned to the expo city after a short stay in Los Angeles. Mr. George A. Ramsy will be in the City of Angels Saturday and remain two days. The dance given Easter was a grand success. The season's sensation will be the exposition extravaganza dansant and mardi gras, which is being planned by Mr. Geo. A. Ramsey. Another feature that will be at the exposition dansant will be the silver shower at 10:30. The room of wonders will be the wonder. Next week's payer will give further accounts. Mr. J. B. Bass, editor of the Eagle, was a visitor to the expo city Monday. The Easter services at the Bethel A. M. E. church brought out the largest crowd that has ever assembled there. Miss Swain who thoughts F. E. Felix was in the air, took a shot at him Sunday night. But Felix said my place is on the ground. San Diego News. John S. Akerman was defeated for Mayor by 2.000 votes. We are greatly disappointed, although we guess the people elected who they wanted. The Eagle made a grand fight for Akerman but lost. D. K. Adams, our candidate for re-election to the council lost. Sad but true. Now that the election is over let us settle down and help make San Diego bigger, better, grander than ever. Great credit is due the colored voters for the great support of the Eagle ticket, although we lost. Dr. Louise Heilbrun was another candidate of the Eagle, losing about 1,000 votes. We were very loyal to our candidates, but we could not elect them alone. Mayor Fay and Claude Woolman were the only candidates elected on the Eagle ticket. On the Firing Line Paper read before the Vesper Service by Mrs. Geraldine Wethers, State Organizer for Women's Clubs. The greatest conflict in history is now in progress. The European war—in character its magnitude is beyond our power to conceive. A battle line extending more than 325 miles, and has more than 4,000,000 men actually engaged, with the most destructive modern weapons. Thus we behold a great conflict; strife, bitter strife encompasses the world, strife for power and strife for bread. We too are engaged in a struggle, though not with powder and cannon, yet with an earnestness and seriousness equal to the belligerants of Europe. Their struggle is for power, ours is for bread, for equal opportunities. In this strife we the Afro-Ameri cans of the United States because ```markdown ``` of peculiar social and economic forces must of necessity combine our efforts in order to achieve a definite end of freedom from pecuniary slavery and weakness. As a people we are far from grasping this truth with all it implies. We are on the firing line and we must fight 10,000,000 of us; we must fight for mastery against a few who knows no law save the survival of the fittest. We are on the firing line and we must fight with our ballot which to you and I is the same as the cannon is to the soldier on the battle field, a common weapon of defense. We can win the victory through the application of brains and intellect, the applying of our power systematically together at every opportunity. By so doing we form an impregnable rank, a solid phalanx of uniform workers, struggling for the uplift of all. As populations grow social ties increase in significance. The great present social need is to attract to the public service, men and women strong in character and intellect. We must see to it that public work like private work, should offer an adequate field for strong and ambitious men and women. The Emancipation Proclamation is not the end of definite achievement, but only the beginning; when this great declaration was signed it was a dawn of a new era of progress and opportunity for the Afro-American; a rising sun like the dawn of a new day. Then there were 4,000,000 Afro-Americans now there are 10,000,-000. The work begun by our fathers is ours to finish. We have made slight beginnings, goes without saying, all we need is to forge ahead with the determination and stick-to-it-iveness that knows no failure. What are the conditions which surround us? Jim Crowism and the allied curses of slavery; these conditions we must fight; fight not with gun and sword, but with the pen which is mightier than the sword, the ballot, the far reaching influence in every political and civic movement. Fight for justice and for right. The time has come for positive consented action in order to become free from economic burdens and social waste. As yet we have accomplished no definite gain inasmuch as we have failed in united strength. In this great struggle for equal rights, there are vital issues to be considered; the Jim Crow schools; the Jim Crow places of public amusements and American industries; under the first ban our children are placed in national disrepute; under the second we are made to feel humiliation and degradation; under the third the Afro-American toiler is placed on the bases of inferior compensation for his honest labor. These are indeed vital questions and mean much towards the future advancement or retrogression of our race. Under the Declaration of Independence, are the chains of physical bondage to be more dreaded than the fetters of economic servitude? Our fathers served under the former while we are slaves under the latter. We are on the firing line and we must fight, the spirit of today calls for the loftiest patriotism, self denial, righteousness and honor. That which our fathers achieved we must struggle to maintain. No institution is stronger than its foundation, no race greater than its own deeds. Arise men and women of the race; the time is ripe, we are forced to fight. The race is threatened with dire suffering unless we as a whole willing to heed the higher laws of nature, love of unity, thrift, progressive endeavor, self-preservation, loftiness of mind and principle, faithfulness, manliness, honor and truth. Let the watchwords be: A war, no a battle. Our task, to fit political institutions to complex economic society. Progressive government. Let the best talent procurable find a career in the service of the people equal to that afforded other races. We must develop democratic sources of honor and stimulate excellence. Let us live lives of kind words and noble deeds. Let our slogan be "Victory." GERALDINE WITHERS. measure. No Reprisals Consequently, the prince troubled speakers at theoric evening of the 24th—the idees of March—fulfilled. The very following the passage of partisan bill, the house session's record, passig gle day, 18 bills and t rent measures; and a the bills passed were those who had fought partisan bill! I rem Cary, who by the by affable gentleman whe I heard a member of the assembly, an old timer, say, "I have been a member of the assembly for a number of sessions, and I can say with emphasis, there are more high grade men attending this session than I have met here before." I have been a looker-on at Gath, taking mental notes, as it were, with an observation sharpened by an experience about the ante-rooms and lobbies of the capitol at Washington, and I, too, wish to testify, this is a sedate, level-headed able body of men, at times given to oratory, but never to personal abuse and vociferous vilification. There Was but One False Note In the harmony of this session, but one rasping sound in falsetto, and it at once subsided. I refer to that occasion when one of the Solons, speaking as he afterward stated, from the depth of his heart, injected a too apparent threat of consequences to those who differed as to the modus operando of labor legislation. For a few minutes, pandemonium threatened, but it was averted by an apology from the speaker, that was evidently heartfelt. This demonstration of indignation showed very clearly the temper of this assembly, willing patiently to stand for long fanciful speeches, for a considerable amount of fautely rhetoric, a bit of "wind and water," but would stand for "nary bit" of the time-honored pastime of bulldozing and "bunk." The fellows who came here with clubs are now satisfied with the more genteel walking-tsick. In fact, it is no undeserved compliment to note that the "good old days" of booze and bluster have passed most happily, as evidenced in the forty-first legislature of California. The Spirit of Fairness Regnant On the historic March 24th, a day that lasted from 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, when the clock was stopped at 15 minutes to 12 p.m. to carry Wednesday into Thursday to adjourn at 4:01 a.m., the polemic gladiator in a "lost cause," who had kept up a ceaseless shower of ineffective blows upon the invulnerable shield of the proponents of the non-partisan bill, dispaired of anything to gain from further filibuster, and was prepared to submit to the inevitable, the passage of the non-partisan bill by a safe majority. A number of the opponents to the bill, who all along the unnecessarily protracted debate, vehemently expressed their opinion that the victorious majority would defeat all of their bills now pending. There were some grounds for these "tearful" expressions of fear. Had it not always been so in the past? I can remember myself when it was customary to leave no slightly wounded, it was the custom to finish up the patient, to place him beneath, and let the daisies grow aobve. They reckoned without their host, the hose for this occasion had the true Progressive spirit, consequently the condition of the "good old days" had changed. During the heat of the house debate on the aforementioned bill, it was in this characteristic manner that Speaker Howard J. Fish ruled on the "points or order" raised on Assemblyman Cary, when in ruling he said: "Inasmuch as previous speakers had been allowed such wide latitude in debate, in a spirit of fairness to Mr. Cary and to the opponents of the measure, I rule the point of order not well taken." This was the spirit of magnanimit ymanifest throughgout the forty-first session of the legislature of California. This was the startling spirit of ultra-fairness shown the most eloquent opponent of the non-partisan bill on the floor of the house, who had started a terrific personal arraignment of the governor's supporters of this measure. No Reprisals! Consequently, the prophesies of the troubled speakers of the historic evening of the 24th of March—the ides of March—are not being fulfilled. The very next day following the passage of the non-partisan bill, the house broke this session's record, passing in a single day, 18 bills and two concurrent measures; and a majority of the bills passed were the bills of those who had fought the non-partisan bill! I reminded Mr. Cary, who by the by, is a most affable gentleman when not in debate, of the direful prophesies made that night, had they come true. Taking his familiar briar pipe from his mouth, emphatically he said: No! I took occasion to question Assemblyman C. W. Lyon, the most capable in my opinion of the young Republicans in the house, he corroborated the short pithy statement of the veteran, and in emphasis, with the least bit of pardonable pride, he called attention to the fact that the house had passed five of his measures among them, changing school election laws in the small school districts, and a law granting the tideslands to Redondo. In this the forty-first legislature there is one thing in strong evidence, that is the non-partisan spirit. PROMINENT SOCIAL AFFAIR IN HONOR OF MADAM E. AZALIA HACKLEY A chaming and elaborate reception was given last Thursday afternoon by Mrs. E. W. Robinson and Mrs. E. J. Dyer, in honor of Madam E. Azalia Hackley. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Robinson, on 1715 Eighth street, Sacramento, Cal., formed the setting of the pretty picture presented during the hours of 2 to 6 o'clock, when more than fifty friends called to meet one of the most distinguished women of our race. The receiving party was stationed in the bay window of the reception room, which was daintily and artistically decorated with choice flowers, the color scheme being orange, green and white. The members of the receiving party were Mrs. P. F. O'Reilly, Mrs. T. D. Walker, Madam E. Azalia Hackley, Mrs. E. J. Dyer and Mrs. E. W. Robinson. Master James Moore was in charge of the door and received the cards, Mrs. Lena Harper presented the guests, Mrs. E. S. Moore escorted them to the dining room, where Mrs. F. A. Butler presided at the punch bowl, and Mrs. B. R. Guy and Mrs. U. G. Holland, assisted by Misses Alice Logan and Lillian Gray, superintended the refreshments. Throughout the reception the guests were charmed by musical selections of Mrs. R. J. Fletcher, Mrs. K. C. Brown, Mrs. J. B. White and the Misses Naomi Brown, Anita Page, Pauline Ray, Erminie Dabney and Florence Page. There were presentation of flowers from several of the callers to Madam Hackley. This social function will long be remembered as one of the leading events of the season. Miss Naomi Brown. San Diego Exposition Notes The San Diego Exposition has been informed that a big party will move to San Diego on July 15, immediately after the convention at which fully 40,000 people are expected, rallying from all parts of the country. All California is making arrangements for the tour of the State, and the cities and parks along the way are making out programs for their sections. The New England delegation will leave Connecticut on June 29, arriving at Niagara Falls the following day, including Colorado, Salt Lake, Royal Gorge and other scenic wonders in their west-bound trip. After the expositions comes a tour of the northern coast cities and the Canadian National park. Arrangements are completed for concerts in the open air music pavilion of the San Diego Exposition by the famous Ogden, Utah Tabernacle Choir on July 17 and 18.

Haiti Plan Washington, Mar. 30—Recognition of the new Guillaume government in Haiti by Germany and Italy, following closely upon recognition by France, is causing the State department concern over its effect on the program of rehabilitation prepared by the American commission headed by former Governor Fort of New Jersey. An American syndicate had been formed to straighten out Haitian finances with American recognition of Guillaume, but a loan of $1,000,000 by France, which went with its recognition, virtually puts that plan out of the question. 1 Santa Fe STYLE FOR THE BE IN STYLE FOR THE FAIR A.

A great audience fil ed the church at all services. At the early morning service bro. Stout was greeted by a large audience, coming from all parts of the city. The 11 o'clock service was a great inspiration to all who were present. The people were thrilled by the Easter message by the pastor. Ten Sunday School children were baptized and joined the church. Over 300 took the communion. The Easter program by the Sunday School was rendered at the evening service. This service will long be remembered. Each child felt that he had a message to impress. Superintendent T. A. Greene and his fine teachers deserve the highest praise from all the parents for their efforts to train the children. Next Sunday at 11 a.m. the missionary message will be delivered at 3 p.m. A memorial service in honor of the memory of sister Martha will be conducted, with addresses from old settlers from Austin Texas. At the evening service pastor Kinchen will preach on "hard times." Mrs. Pauline Brooks Daniels will sing her great song, "Oh, Jesus of Nazareth," at the 11 a. m. service on Sunday. One of the leading men of Methodism, Prof. H. S. Davage, will fill the pulpit of Wesley on Sunday April the 18th at both services. Prof. Davage is the only colored man on the Book committee of the M. E. church and is on his way to the annual meeting of that committee at San Francisco. New Hope Baptist Church 1623 Paloma Avenue--Rev. C.H Anderson, D.D., Pastor. At New Hope church Sunday morning at 11 a.m. was a glorious service. The Sunday school children had charge of this service; they were observing Easter day. The church was beautifully decorated with similax, American beauty roses and Easter lilies. The program was in charge of Sister Milie Taylor and Sister Ever Highbaugh which was beautiful. Every child who had a solo, duet, or dialogue did justice to himself or herself. After which the regular church service was in order and a good old time covenant meeting was in progress the Holy Ghost was in our midst as one by one would tell what the Lord had done for them at this service. Sister John Mack united with us. At 6:30 p. m. President B. Highbaugh called his B. Y. P. U. together and a lively discussion was in progress during the entire session. Many able points were out concerning the lesson and many new facts were brought out. The spirit of the Lord was among us when our pastor Dr. Anderson preached an able sermon on the Resecurrection of Christ. Subject, "He is risen; He is not here, behold the place where they laid him." (Mark 16-6). After which the Lord's Supper was celebrated. We were blessed both spiritually and financially. Next Sunday April 11th is our regular services with our pastor in attendance. All members and friends are cordially invited to be present. B. F. Anderson, Church Reporter Preparing a banquet of 150 plates and offering a brilliant side entertainment the Men's Club of the New Hope Baptist church were host last Tuesday night, March 29, to the members and friends of the church. The banquet was a full course supper and was served by about 15 young men of the church. Atty Willis O. Tyler delivered the addssess, speaking on the development and the education of the youth. A musical program was given. Sunday was a day of Easter ovation at Mt. Zion Baptist church. The church was beautifully deco- rated with palms, Easter lilies and flowers of Easter designs, Singing birds, little chicks and pet rabbits added much to the attractions. The morning program was rendered by the Sunday school children. Supt. W. W. Gay had the general care, while the training and management was done by Miss Minnie Albriton. At the conclusion of the program the pastor, Rev. Hill delivered an inspiring Easter sermon. The Sunday school choir furnished the music. Many visitors were present. Sister Walden, one of Mt. Zion's well known members, passed away last week. Her funeral was held Tuesday, 2:30 p. m. Funeral sermon by Rev. Hill. The special sacred program, renamed by the choir Sunday night, was a rare treat; same giving origin to the complimentary remarks that Mt. Zion choir is second to none in Los Angeles. Prof. Carr, the noted music teacher of Los Angeles rendered one of his famous solos. Other prominent and noted singers were present and rendered excellent solos. The anthems and jubilee choruses were said to be matchless in excellence. The pastor gave a most interesting and instructive addresses on the subject of Music. Special and attractive services will be held all day next Sunday. Next week's issue of the Eagle will give an account of the famous men's program to be rendered by the GetAcquainted Literary Society, Tuesday night April the 20th. E. 8th Street Christian Church On last Sunday both services were well attended and all who were present enjoyed two excellent sermons by the pastor. In the morning he preached from the subject, "When I awake," Text, "As for me I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness." Ps. 17:15. Concerning the king of England Goldman Smith said, "Nature intended him for a clown but when he awoke or came to himself he was made king." He said we all as Christians need to awake to our Christian life. All should say, "When I awake with thy goodness then will I be satisfied." In the evening the pastor spoke on "Building for Eternity." Text, "When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in His glory." Ps. 102:16. In connection with the sermon the choir rendered a selection entitled "When the Lord shall build up Zion" and a solo by Miss Susie Lynch entitled, "I shall be satisfied." In building for eternity we should lay well the foundation so the building will be able to stand the storma that are sure to test it. Bro. J. C. Brown is convalescent The Y. P. S. C. E. is planning a literary and musical concert for April 15th. Tickets 10 cents. Dinner will be served in connection with the program. Sunday April 11th Rev. McMickens will preach in the morning. Subject, "David Anointed King." Bro. A. J. Williams will occupy the pulpit at the evening service. All are invited. JUANITA BAUSLEY, Church Reporter TABERNACLE CHURCH NEWS. The services on Easter Sunday was well attended all day. At the Sunday school several visitors among them one of our old scholars, was present in the person of Mrs. Jessie Harris Kinsey, and we were all glad to see her. After the lesson was over each scholar, was presented with a beautiful Easter egg, the infant class being remembered also by the assistant superintendent, Bro. L. Davis, who presented each of them with an extra remembrance from himself personally. We were very grateful to those who donated the 12 dozen eggs, who were Bros. Roberts, Walker, and Mills, and Sisters Jefferson, Fields, Bedney, Reglar, Bilbrow, and to those who dyed them, Sisters Bilbrow and Alexander. At 11 o'clock Rev. R. A. Whittaker, from Oklahoma, preached to a large congregation from Matt 6:28. Consider the lilies, how they grow; his subject being the Christian growth, and how we as children of God, planted by the hand of God ought to grow, whether in sunshine or shade on rocks or gravel, we should grow. He said the lilies never fret or worry, but continue to grow. God wants us to grow as the lily, and if we could get the lesson Christ wished to convey to his disciples we would not strive to be this or that, but would grow in grace after first having the seed planted by being born again. Everybody that was present enjoyed the sermon as it was so beautifully delivered. He proved himself to be a man of God, worthy of being heard. He will be with us all week in an effort to save souls. At the close of the services, prayer was offered and God's blessings invoked on the little adopted daughter of Brother and Sister Thomas Hall, little Catherine Juanita Hall. There was a good many present at the B. Y. P. U., Vice President Mrs. Peary presiding in the absence of the president. At 8 o'clock the Easter exercises began. The church was filled to the doors, each number was well rendered and the infant class did exceedingly well in reciting. The duet by Misses Faucett and Moore was very beautiful. Each number is worthy of commendation and Mrs. Michell and Jefferson deserves much credit for the way the exercises were carried out. The last but not least on the program was the reading by the pastor of one of his own productions in writing and the first time he has appeared before us as a reader. It told of what transpired at the meeting of the Sanhedrim council after Jesus was crucified and arose from the grave. They knew not what to do next. It fully describes the awful scene and was well worth hearing. Those who failed to hear it missed a treat. The funeral of Mrs. Evie Duport, took place at Tabernacle church at 1 p. m. Mrs. Duport was the daughter of Mrs. Katie Callon-Welch, a much loved member of our church, and we sympathize with her in this her hour of grief. Great revival services have been held each evening. Rev. R. A. Whittaker has preached most interesting and soul-stirring sermons. There were four joined for baptism on Wednesday night.

P. depot, Los Angeles. FROM THE PULLMAN PORTERS' REVIEW The Chief Service Inspector of the Pullman company, Mr. Davis, expresses his regrets at being unable to attend the C. R. R. M. recent ball and gives its president the following letter: I am exceedingly sorry that I am compelled to be out of the city Tuesday, March 2nd, and therefore will not be present at your annual ball in person, but will be, in good wishes, hoping that all present will have a most enjoyable evening and that good will and good fellowship will predominate. A word to the Pullman porters' wives, mothers and sisters: You are a very important factor among our porters, in fact, I may say the most important. You, of course, know that the Pullman company expect our porters to always be neat and clean in personal appearance, to be pleasant when dealing with the traveling public, and always have a pleasant smile for the patrons of the company and keep the cars they have charge of in a cleanly and sanitary condition. Are you, wives, mothers and sisters, doing all you can to this end. Did you, mothers and sisters, teach these porters (when they were boys) to keep their person neat and clean and refrain from associating with that class of boys who have no regard for God or man? Did you always keep your homes as good homes should be? If not, you are in a way, perhaps, responsible for some of our porters losing their position because they are not capable of meeting the requirements of our company in keeping their cars clean. Have you wives done all you con do to help your husband keep his position? Are you good housekeepers? If not, how can you expect your husband to be? Are you making his home so very pleasant that in his travels over the country he cannot find a home more attractive than his own? and therefore always glad to return home and be met at the door with a loveable smile and a hearty welcome? Are you keeping his uniform pressed and clean and his linen in good shape and packing his suitcase for him so he can get a few minutes' more rest? Are you maintaining quiet about the house when your husband is trying to get his much needed rest, or are you allowing the children and the neighbors' children to congregate in the house or yard and make such much noise that this dear husband of yours is deprived of his much needed rest? In some instances we are led to believe the wive require him to assist in doing odd jobs around the house and in some instances the wife is always finding fault with the husband about this and that, and in some instances quarrels with him from the time he gets in until he leaves the house. When he reports for duty he is so tired and worn out, because of loss of sleep, that he could not look leasant if he were of that class that have wings on their back. A passenger complains because of his surliness or he falls asleep and fails to assist his passengers, and is dismissed from the service or a lesser penalty. Who is at fault? He was a good husband, a good father, and a good porter, but because of lack of cooperation on the part of his family he is forced to walk the streets, therefore, I would ask that you give due consideration to what I have said and what I am going to say. Too many of our porters have no wings on their backs. When you draw your salary check, you go to a nearby saloon or gambling place and spend your money instead of taking it home. You get a few drinks ahead and when you do reach home you have not only spent money you should have taken home to support your family, but you are cross and abuse your wife and children, and when you go out on the road, Oh, the headache! Here, wives, is the other side of the picture, and I am sorry to have to say it is true to life. In conclusion, permit me to say you all have an important part to play and should all join hands and help one another, and until you have done this, I am fearful the Colored race will not be built up as we would like to see it, and as you deserve. Again wishing you all a pleasant time, I remain, Yours very truly, J. A. DAVIS. From the Scrap Book by J. D. Reynolds. NEGRO BLOOD, THEORY Four Portrait Heads of Princes of Fourth Dynasty to Be Sent to Boston Museum. Boston, April 6.—Four portrait heads of ancient Egyptian princes, discovered in the excavation of the royal cemetery at Giza, will be sent to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, according to word just received from Dr. George A. Reisner, in charge of explorations for the museum in Egypt. They are part of a group of eight unearthed. Four will be placed in the museum at Cairo. Dr. Reisner thinks that some of these portraits support the theory hitherto advanced that the Egyptian rulers of the fourth dynasty, 2000-2750 B. C., had Negro blood.

FAGSIMLE LETTERS SHOWING HOW THE ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY STANDS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD The company offers to you a legitimate proposition, one that stands exclusively upon its merits, and means more as a profitable investment than any thing you have heretofore put your money into. Beware of advice given by persons who don't take time to investigate, to know whereof they speak. Do your duty, and they will soon realize the error of their way, and you will go on record as among the promoters of a great enterprise. There will be no admission fee. The public is invited and members are asked to bring their friends. Notice the newspapers—especially the "California Eagle" and "New Age" of the fourth week of March—and see what the big manufacturing concerns think of our company. In fact, during his five years in the City Council Mr. Whiffen has never yet lost one minute from his public duty. He has never missed one meeting, nor even been tardy at a meeting. That is a record of strict attention to business that it would be hard to duplicate ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY, N. G. PITTS, President. HOWARD FOLKE, Secretary. Make all checks, drafts, money orders and registered letters payable to the Company. THEEL DORADO GOLD STAR MINING COM PANY MAKES GREAT SHOWING Easter services conducted in Allensworth last Sunday, were in every way helpful and entertaining. Rev. W. H. M. Dickerson of Pasadena preached Sunday morning and addressed the Sunday school in the afternoon and the Y. P. C. A. in the evening. His text for the morning service was "Why seek ye the living among the dead. He is not here; He is risen." A splendid lesson of Christian living and usefulness was taught from this subject. N. G. Pitts, President Rev. C. H. Anderson, Vice-Pres Howard Folke, Secretary C. G. Dunscomb, Assistant Secretary G. W. Shields, Fiscal Agent During the afternoon the children of the Sunday school rendered the musicale "Easter Glory" supplemented by a number of excellent class renditions from the Festival of Song. The Y. P. A. rendered a most splendid literary and musical during the evening service. Rev. Dickerson addressed the Alliance on the subject, "Conquering Discouragements." At this session the musical numbers and the pantoming of the Holy City by a number of young ladies were excellent renditions. The floral decorations donated by the citizens and others sent by Mrs. Abercrombie of Tulare, Mr. Prince of Pasadena and Miss Edna Jackson of the same city contributed much to the beauty and enjoyment of the occasion. An Appeal to the Stockholders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company for Immediate Action, by its Board of Directors. You are hereby notified that the machinery bought by this Corporation, for milling the vast quantity of mineral ores on their claims, covering an area of two hundred and sixty acres, in the center of the mineral zone, Eldorado Canyon, Clark County, State of Nevada, was shipped December, 1914. Other shipments followed, consisting of a car of lumber, cement, corrugated iron, and hardware, comprising several carloads in all. These materials were to be used in the constructing of buildings, to cover the machinery; also ore-bins, to store ores before milling, and the concentrates or values after milling. The foundation for the mill-site, ore bins, etc., had been cut through an elevation of solid rock thirty-six feet high, during the month of last November. In January our engineer made an inspection of the machinery, and discovered that the original foundation was not half large enough for the accommodation of the mill-plant, and also that as much more material would be required for the buildings. Mrs. William Prince, son Wesley, and Baby Florence are visiting Miss Margaret Prince. They will remain several weeks. Some of the frame work and ore-bins have been completed already, and timbers that were on hand cut and put in shape. The superintendent has sent an order to this office for another car of lumber, and also a car of hardware material. These two shipments of material will be sufficient for the completion of the entire plant, and forthwith the mill will be put into operation, which fact will be very gratifying to all stockholders. April 7th, Col. Allensworth's birthday will be observed with appropriate exercises by the citizens of this community. Mrs. W. A. Carter entertained at dinner Sunday Rev. Dickerson, Justice and Mrs. Overr. To comply with this urgent demand, the board of directors has authorized a dispensation for a short period only, during which time the $2 shares of stock can be bought at $1 a share. You are requested to come to the assistance of the board without delay, so that the construction of buildings and the installing of machinery may be completed while the force of men is on the job. If you can pay up your contracts in full, then in justice to your own interest and company do so; but if not, then pay what you can afford. Those who have already closed their contracts should strain a point and put in more money, as by so doing they will draw dividends earlier. Persons who are not stockholders may also take advantage of the dispensation price if they so desire. Rev. J. W. Price of Bakersfield conducted services last Thursday evening. Rev. Price is pastor of the local A.M.E. church and preaches twice per month. At the last business meeting the pastor and trustees were elected building committee and plans for erecting a church building will be launched at once. O. C. Overr was a business visitor in Visalia, Tulare and Venice Hill last week. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Towns and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dotson attended the lecture given by the noted Christian Scientist in Delano last Friday evening. At the school election last Friday W. N. Towns was elected member of the Board of Education. The Board now consists of Mesdames Allensworth and Overr and Mr. Towns. The election officers were Messrs. Stockett and Archer and Mrs. James Phillips. PHILLIP CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH.
