Shrine Auditorium Scene of Brilliant Affair Fifty Years of Freedom in Drama Marks Great Progress Volume 28 THE NEGRO'S REBUTTAL H. Douglas Greer. While the Wilson administration has the sympathy of good Americans in the mazy web into which it has entangled itself with reference to the Mexican situation, the unspeakable chaos which now characterizes the American relations with that sanguinary republic could not have happened otherwise in the incompetent hands in which they have been placed. Even in our congested sphere, we are indisposed to judge Pres. Wilson's egregious inability to evolutionize the solution of a palably difficult problem too harshly. At such a time as this when the National honor and prestige is at stake, it devolves upon every citizen regardless of color, or creed, to stand by the President and to support the government for which he stands. That he erred in his judgement regarding the Mexican affair, no one of reason and common sense will deny. Not even the most devoted adherent of Pres. Wilson will gain say that when he reversed his thumb on Huerta and accepted the villanious Villa he simply exchanged the devil for the witch, and with the worthy assistance of that astute logician andensic diplomat William Jennings Bryan. If any of those able champions for the cause of Negro disfranchisement segregation, or discrimination, should become president of the United States, it should be the duty of every citizen to rally to his support in any national crisis. It is a bitter pill to swallow for the average American when he observes the humiliation to which this National Government at Washington has been subjected. American citizens are being murdered and robbed in Mexico by federals and rebels alike. Americans are being lynched in America by law and outlaw alike. This government has not once raised its hand to stay these ravages and murderous onslaughts against a class of its best citizens. Shall it evolve upon every citizen of the U. S. to support the government which has denied him those constitutional and inalienable rights which every man regardless of color, nationality or creed, should be privileged to enjoy? Time is far too short to speak here of those wrongs which negroes have so long endured and too fleeting to stay while we parley about those sacred rights to be secured, but in a crucial moment like this, we long to see and note the attendant circumstances when the Force of Restitution and the law of Retribution become joint reactionaries. In consiering this question and in order to deal fairly with the question we must set aside the teachings of the American School Histories, exclude the early reports of the Associated Press in whose opinions we are led to believe that the Negro deserves no better treatment at the hand of his white brother than that which he constantly receives. Our ears with every days report of wrong and outrage with which certain sections of this country are filled. Bring your intelligence to bear upon the case of a colored woman who was seized by an infuriated mob bent upon malicious mischief and tied to a telephone pole while her body served as a target only to curtail and disarm the sanguinary furies of a mob of degenerates in the tSate of Oklahoma. The Golden aGte of California and Hell's Gate of New York in fact, every door of the country has been rudely thrown open to immigration. No restrictions were made in the beginning regarding the classes or masses of these foreigners. Los Angeles, San Francisco and The pewspapers declared that the infusion of races makes for strong and prosperous nation; therefore, pirates, sea-paupers, commercial coyotes, some escaping from poverty, tyranny and oppression, and still others pregnant with avaricious instincts were ushered into this great cosmopolitan country. They came. Today they enjoy what the Negro has labored indefatigually for upwards of fifty years to gain, freedom and enjoyment of his political rights. The influx of Japanese in this country today is due to the efforts of the Americans who sought to paralyze Negro energies and enterprises and reduce the percentage of their acquisitions and accumulations till the negro himself would gradually be re-enslaved. Today Japan has a grievance freighted with momentous consequences against this country in the matter of California's Alien Land Law, which can readily be attributed to the incompetency of the tSate Department of California. England has no love for America nor Americans beyond a few social affiliations or personal aggrandizements on the part of a few Lords, Nobles or Crown Heads. England has not forgotten that the first oath of Americas freedom came on the blast from Lexington and this ardor virbirated and revirberated until the thirteen colonies hurled defiance at the King and precipitated the conflict which was fought out on the battle field. England would in all probability ultimately have listened to reason and common sense and with able speakers in the House of Commons, the cause of American and their freedom would have triumphed in the end, had not a party of Bostonians disguised themselves as Indians operating under a supposed ban of patriotism and bent upon evil intent, thrown into the Boston harbor, a cargo of England's choiset tea; this was one of a series of insults that forced the King and his ministry into an attitude of hostility. Today England has a treaty with Japan for offense and defense. Suppose the Japanese should make up their minds to invade and rampage this country, could America hope to enlist the services of England in her defense against the Japanese? This act on the part of England would entail the abrogation of England's treaty with Japan, and Japan having recently had a quarrel with America on account of the legislation to exclude Japanese and to deny them further extension of territory could not hope to sever their relations. The American white man will learn by bitter precept that he who digs a pit for another is the first to fall therein. He will learn again that the Negro's achievements by peaceful parlia mentary methods are quite as important as his victories in war. THE LEO FRANK CASE AROUSES ENTRIE WORLD Strange Contrast in the Thousands of Letters Sent the Governor of Georgia Asking for Clemency for Condemned Jew and the Silence That Follows the Lynching of an Afro-American. WILL ANY GOOD RESULT? Race Hopes That Frank Case Will Arouse Latent Conscience of American People Who Will Stamp Out the Damnable Crime Called Lynching. The "Frank" case in Georgia has apparently aroused all of the civilized world. Petitions signed by countless thousands have been sent to the governor of Georgia asking for the commutation of the sentence of death, which the highest court in the land says The presentation of "Fifty Years of Freedom" at Shrine Auditorium, Tuesday night proved a pageant which drew a wonderful mixed audience which lived through a period of America's most vital history as it saw reviewed the story of a people's rise and progress. The work of months had to repeat itself in two hours and several hundred participants had to be moved to and from a stage inadequate to their demands. Here came the little delays which in themselves illustrated the elaborate preparation and demonstrated that rarest of condition with affairs of the kind, namely an abundance of quality as well as quantity. Coming so soon after the deleterious effect of The Clansman and witnessed by such a large number of Caucasians, Fifty Years of Freedom has rendered a big service to both Races in Los Angeles and opens the way for grander things yet, for rarely has a Race affair gained either so much interest or press attention from the other side. There follows here a detailed account by one who watched every number and gives a reflection of the evening's performance. The entire performance was well rendered and marks an epoch. "The Aristocracy of the Colonial Race"—"Education and wealth, Religion and Natural Gifts," says Wendell Phillips, will make the Negro Race the leaders of all races in "Music, Art and Oratory." The charm and versatility of the solosts captured the audience. John Hall in his inimitable characterization of Old Black Joe led in the Jubilee work, ably assisted by the best drilled double quartet ever heard in Jubilee work in this city. Madam Ella J. Hughley's dramatic soprano in her "March to Victory" after the battle scene, was superb. Miss Juanita Patton, the youngest soloist, had a voice of quiet feeling and pathos as she sang "My Old Kentucky Home." The refrain was sung by the chorus hidden among the stage trees in the rear. Mrs. Anna Strode Mills arose from a sick bed but sang "Carmena" with beautiful grace and sweetness. The audience gave great applause to her solo. Miss Minnie Albritton's lyric soprano captured the audience. Mr. Henri Douglas Greer's baritone solo by Dudley Buck was sung with the style and polish of a master. Both Mr. Greer and Miss Albritton leave for the south and east in the early fall. Little Anita Thompson has an artist poet's soul. Her intensely imaginative portrayal of the "Spring Song" in pose and rhythm of movement was one of the effective parts of the program. Capt. Bratton has one of the most ideal homes of the city. His happiness lies in association with wife and family which he was chosen to represent. "The Ideal Home." What big chorus of finished work can accomplish was shown by the Second Baptist choir, led by Mr. H. Douglas Greer and Wesley Methodist, led by Mr. W. V. Howard. One of the best trained choirs of the city, known all over Southern California is that of the A. M. E. church, led by Prof. W. Bynum. The modulation and perfect control of this choir shows the director as a master. To our great regret this chorus was not given. We waited for the great crowd to be seated and lost about 45 minutes of time and the end of our work with several histories could not be given. It is the one great regret for this choir is second to none in the city. And the minuet, what a dream of grace and loveliness. No city has ever seen this quaint figure so prettily done from that beautiful reception scene to the last movement. The ladies wore colonial dresses with the basques and panniers. Their gray hair was becoming dressed with long curls and numerous puffs. The men wore knee breeches colonia Oakland, Cal., June 19, 1915 coats, pumps with silver buckles and white wigs. Those in the minuet were: M. V. Cunningham, Inez Bailey, Angelita Williams, Gertrude Chrisman, Gertrude Bright, Luvenia Hickman, Frances Henderson, Adele Kemp, Messrs. Wm. Pillows, Henry Brooks, Clarence Curry, N. Grant, A. Scott, C. W. Ridgeway, Homer Spann and Mr. Williams. The solid foundation of the work was the Providence S. C. T. Orchestra under the leadership of Mr. Horace Wheaton. This is only a part of the large body which will some day be the equal of any. Mrs. H. W. Markham the pianist and organist of Wesley Chapel, was one of the most faithful at the rehearsals, assisted often by Miss Lorenza Jordan and Mr. Douglas Greer. Mr. Julius Lomax exhibited his skill as a banjoist. There are so few who are masters now of this instrument. The dignity of the race, the eloquence of the professional men and women: the climax of the performance showed the astounding progress of the advancement of the Race. The historians: Ceruti-in "Civil War Times." Mrs. Charlotte Spears-Bass in the Spread of Education, College and Universities. Capt, Crumbly—"Finance and Real Estate" Our gratitude to the Robley D. Evans, Staunton and Bartlett Logan G. A. R. Posts, to the ladies of the Robley D. Evans Corps and the sons of veterans, will ever be profound for their rendition of the old Civil War scenes. The sight of those noble gray heads was the most inspiring of the evening. The character of war governor was taken by Col. H. Z. Osborne of Stanton Post. Col. Osborne is a member of the Board of Public Works of this city. His speech naming the old war governors the great battle fields where emancipation was won thrilled every one present and great bursts of applause rang through the house at almost every word of his speech. The G. A. R. Drum Corps certainly brought the great patriotic wave of applause after applause. "Fifty Years of Freedom" is but the beginning. A new day has dawned, a high mark is set and all are ready for the next wave of Fifty Years. The heartfelt thanks of the committee are extended to performers and patrons, the press, too, The New Age, The California Eagle, the Los Angeles Post, for their generous assistance and to use of their columns, and to the editors, also to the daily papers—and to the honorary patrons and representative people of the other race who attended the performance.

Bond-Pope, Directress The home of the Colored Race is in music, Drama and Oratory. Tuesday evening, the natural graces of the Colored Race were lavishly displayed in all the gifts the Great Creator has bestowed as the genius of this Race. There is no other people who can be prouder of their last fifty years of educational advance than the Colored Race. Tuesday evening, at Shrine Auditorium, the Historians were impressive and eloquent, the graceful movements of the minuet were a poet's dream, the grand chorus work astonished the audience, with its vol- tune and richness of tone. The militia, the G. A. R., in splendid uniform, the old veterans of '61, who fought the battles of victory, the brilliant soloists and drama all deserve special mention. It was a night long to be remembered. A brilliant performance. Later announcements will be made. Perhaps a repetition in a down town theatre, and later a production in moving picture, when all the performers will receive some renumeration for their efforts, and each participate in the stock division. The financial success will not be large as expected. The front of the house was given to contemplimentaries to the ministers and wives, the press, historians, members of the G. A. R. and Relief Corps, and seats for the large chorus. It will be some time before reports are all in and bills are large. There will be a balance, but how much we cannot yet tell. About three days before the performance ladies got busy. Had we had that splendid effort before we would have turned people away from the house. A line of 500 people delayed us in opening about 35 minutes. This necessarily told at the close and two large and brilliant choruses were not given and some historians not heard. The Hall Jubilees were gloriously received. They had more work also. It took twelve months to get the colored race to believe that this could be put on. I think they will not doubt again. The beginning is made and the entire nation can some day see in picture the grace and charm in picture and story of the colored race of the Angel City. SAN FRANCISCO NEWS The daily papers failed to make any mention whatever of the Masonic Grand Lodge which met in this city during last week. In all probability, our people and their organizations will wake up to the fact that the Negro Press after all is their one safe refuge in the time of storm, and tender the same a stronger support. J. B. Bass, editor of the Eagle is a business visitor in our midst and is looking after business for the great Eagle which is making such mighty progress in the field of journalism. Chaplain O. W. Scott is still in our midst. He filed the pulpit at Bethel Church on last Sunday Morning and preached a memorable sermon. Mrs. Mc Mickens of Pasadena remained over in the city from the grand session to attend the state convention at Oakland. Mr. and Mrs. H. Shannon of 1584 Post street entertained at dinner on last Monday evening Mr. Wm. Costley and J. B. Bass of Los Angeles The Colored Workingmen's Club of this city has closed its doors for the time present. Chaplain O. W. Scott will soon pay Los Angeles a visit. A banquet was tendered some of the distinguished visitors to the city on last Monday evening and it was reported as a grand affair. Rev. J. H. Wilson is a wide awake divine who has worked for Bethel church. Do not forget the Grand reception and ball in honor of the city's visitors at Franklin Hall, Thursday evening, July 8th WILL ENTERTAIN THE JEWEL CITY CLUB TAKING THE INIATIVE Mr. W. B. Cockrane, president of the Jewel city club of this city with his staff of assistants, is working overtime completing the arrangements for the Grand Reception and Ball in honor of the city's visitors at Franklin Hall on Thursday evening, July eight. Mr. Cockrane is one of the city's most highly respected young men who is making good is an employee of the Winton Six Automobile Agency. In his fertile brain was envolved the idea of a monster reception and entertainment for the benefit of the visitors to the great Panama Pacific Exposition and he has gather about him a galaxy of the best known men and women of the city, who will assist in this great entertainment for the visitors who will be in the city at that time. It is expected that many notable personages will be present. Souveniers will be given out to all who attend. Mr. Cockran informs the reporter of the Eagle that this will be the granest affair of the season and from the make-up of the committee of the Jewel City Club, we cannot see why it should not be a gran success. W. B. Cockrane President of Jewell City Club which is giving the Grand Reception for visitors to the city at Franklin Hall, the evening of July eight. Frank must pay as penalty for the murder of the Phagan girl, to life imprisonment. A strange contrast appears to the enlightened Afro-American of the blindness and silence of American Christianity whenever, and wherever lynchings and burnings at stake, and the taking of lives of Afro-Americans without process of law are so wrecklessly indulged in. Abolish Capital Punishment. Capital punishment ought to be abolished, and the Defender agrees with the thousands of petitions sent to the governor of Georgia, that the life of Frank should be spared, and that the expiration of the crime of the murder of the Phagan girl should be worked out insolitary confinement of Frank in the Georgia penitentiary. It is our hope, however, that the best conscience of the Americans will be aroused at this time to Southern injustice toward Afro-Americans in the same degree of intensity and interest that the proposed hanging of Frank has occasioned.

The choir sang for the opening and then took seats in the pews for the ordi- nance to have some one facing the pastor. Within these 10 weeks the choir may stay in their places and there is a congregation to hear. The membership is’ dow- bled an the Sunday school has in- creased 75 per cent. Last Sunday night a revival broke out in the church. A man 65 years of age was happily con- verted, the meeting is on. All workers for God are invited to come. I am here to preach the “Gos- pel of the Son of God” and not to preach the “evils.” I was called and sent to save the people, and not browbeat. I shall not change my way. I am afraid that some ef us are spending more time advet- tising the evils than we should. As for me I will be a representa- tive of Jesus Christ as near as possible. I must preach the gos- pel to the poor, heal the sick and raise the dead in sin to life eter- nal.

After avery eloquent address in which the speaker:sought to instill in the boys a proper: appreciation of their. opportunity for self-im- provement, and after receiving she hearty thanks of the Superintend- ént for his inspiring lecture, he accompanied the Superintendent and Captain Connor to the par- ade ground, In honor of the eloquent speaker’s visit the Bata- lion of the School, on the parade grounds, passed in review before Mr. Macbeth, The School band that played the most appropriate music during the ‘parade, had a number of black boys playing im- portant instraments, and the stu- dent that put the batalion through the difficult maneuverings was also ‘a black boy who was all but flaw- lees in his direction and com. mands. Mr, Macbeth also learned that his own effort had proven a source of satisfaction to the school, in having « Superior Court Judge change his commitment of John Paschal, the fanous sprinter of Whittier from the far Northern School at Ione, to this school, which by the excellent care of the Superintendent is seeking to create a harmonious citizenship by prac- tically’ instilling principles of the common brotherhood of men, and mutual self-help, Another feature of Superintendent’s initiative, is to have exercised over the atudents of this State School after they have left the school, and until they have “mude good,” a painstaking “watch-care.” This innovation is is entirely original with the Nellis administration at Whittier, and demonstrates the thoroughness of the system in vogue there, Coming---One of the Great Mer of the Race, | The most humorous and yet one of the greatest orators.of the race ‘is Doctor W.

For particulars apply to 202 State St., Santa Barbara, Cal. Mr. Grady Wynn, pullman porter on the coast line limited, is lonely since his affinity has failed of late to give him the "high ball" at Santa Marguerita. We tell him to cheer up, the worse is to come. High class patrons desiring the best accommodations, out side the noise and dust, in Los Angeles the boys cheerfully recommend the Leighton Hotel, facing West Lake Park. There is a special from the East once a week from Los Angeles, via Santa Barbara, Del Monte Santa Cruz and thence to San Francisco, where the passengers leave the car. Since the coast line limited was put back on the 15th inst., there is quite a scramble for places. As it is, the best on the coast now, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The "N. P.'s." are very numerous now, especially from Boston. We met Mr. W. S: Hall of 862 Wood St., Oakland, on a special. Eldo Rado Gold Star Mining Company Stock Soon Will be Off The Market Big Rush On Now To Pay Up On Share And To Purchase The Limited Number of Shares Available Sorry will be the man or woman who fails to pay up on their share or who has not purchased shares in the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company at their offices which are located at room 255 Wilson building, corner first and Spring street, Los Angeles—N. G. Pitts, Pasadena. The editor of the Eagle this week looked over the correspondence of the company and marveled at the great progress of the company, which is on the verge of the complete installation of all of their machinery and will in a short time, begin the grinding and shipping of their ore. And there is no question of dividends being paid to the shareholders during the year 1915. EMPLOYEES ARE BUYING SHARES PAGE Pyramican Plan, - Highest Class Open Year Round 2127 West 6th Street A. R. JAQUITH, M'qr. INGS OF PORTERS, PORTERS RED CAPS AND MAIDS All Centers of Travel. Compiled ents, Consisting of J. D. Reynolds, et al. Absolutely the strongest proof of the worth of this company is the fact that the employees of this concern, who are working at the mines near Searchlight are buying all the shares that they can, while in the office, we read an application from E. P. Williams, who is on the ground for five hundred additional shares. This speaks volumes for the work. Also Mr. E. L. Martin, Henry Pitts, and W. H. Howard, all employees on the works, who have each sent in application for five hundred additional shares in addition to the shares which they already hold. This is the greatest race enterprise and gives larger promises than any other in existence. The shares will, in a few days, be withdrawn from the market. As a shareholder ourselves, with an abiding faith in the future of the company, we urge all who are in arrears with their payments, to pay up and those who can possibly make the sacrifice to buy while you can before they go to a premium, as we have no doubt they will be non-purchasable long before 1916. The last shipment of material is now en route to the mines from the Harron, Ricard and McCome Machinery Merchants, 164-166 Los Angeles street, this city, consisting of all sorts of mining machinery, such as shafting pulleys, and everything that is needed in a reducing plant. The mill itself and crusher installed by the Keystone Iron Works, Inc., 965 N. Main street, this city, was designed by John Heamann, $252\frac{1}{2}$ S. Main street. The gold separator, roasting machine and dryer, built by the Commercial Engine Co., 2424 Porter street. Los Angeles and designed by James B. Freeman also of this city. The engines and hoists were installed by the Western Gas Engine Corporation, factory and office at 900 N. Main street, this city. The lumber and corrugated iron was furnished by the car loads and put on the ground by the Hammond Lumber Company of this city. The company auto truck was also bought from the Mission Motor Company of this city. So it can easily be seen at a glance this is no nightmare company, but a real one and it has already firmly established itself in the buisness annals of this community. The following is the company's pay roll, taken from the report of the company, filed with the Nevada Industrial Commission: January ..... $582.00 February ..... 520.00 March ..... 598.00 April ..... $79.00 May ..... 599.00 $2878.00 With an additional amount of two per cent paid to the Nevada Industrial Commission, making a grand total of more than $2900.00 to June 1, 1915. And in addition to this add more than $100.00 per month for provisions furnished. It speaks louder than words of what Eldorado Company is actually doing. And all we have to say to our people is if you can possibly do so, do not fail to get in on the ground floor with this the greatest of all Negro enterprises.

Correspondent Author of the Scrap Book, ALL ABOARD. The Los Angeles Pullman Port- ers' Comfort Car. The sudden death of Forest Ferdinand White, a train porter, on the S. P. for over 25 years, died June the 28th of neuralgia of the heart. He was only confined to his bed about ten days. He was running on the buffet smoker on the coast line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mr. M. L. Nettles will succeed hi on the buffet smoker and observation car. Mr. Nettles s a practical buffet and bar man, ate of the New York, Hartford and Newton private car sevice New York. The Pullman porters' headquarters at Chicago has them all flayed a mile. Listen, located in the heart of the beautiful residential district of the South Side. A handsome three-story brick building at $233 Wabash avenue opened up on the 10th of May, (last month.) Mr. C. C. Cox, the district superintendent of the Central, who personally supervised the work, issued orders that neither pains or expense should be spared in the way of making improvements which would add to the safety and comfort of the men, who daily congregate. The movement is greatly appreciated. There are lounging and reading rooms, smoking and amusement rooms for music, dominoes, checkers and other inrocent games in the rear of these parlors. You enter into a well ventilated and day-tighted dining room, where meals are served a la carte, fine neatly furnished and carpeted rooms on Main floor; on the second and third floors, consisting of nine rooms, exclusive of the lockers, toilets or bathrooms, are the sleeping quarters, with a capacity for accommodating fifty men. At a later date pool tables will be installed. Safety first. By C. J. BYRNE. The "Safety first" may seem long and slow, but it leads you past dangers—you never may know. So now is the time to look well ahead. "Safety first" cannot help you after you are dead. As all porters must appreciate the relief of the responsibility of carrying around his equipment box, he should arm himself with a fly swatter and protect his passengers from this vigilant little pest. Life Insurance. A life insurance without accident and sick benefits is a "dead letter." The American Beneficial Insurance company (colored) of Richmond, Va., was organized by Dr. W. F. Graham in 1902. Today it has forty branch offices and is thoroughly established in the entire state of Virginia and the District of Columbia. In twelve years it has paid in death claims $140,125,40, and in sick claims $384,390,50rand" constantly growing in strength and popularity with the public. The company has property valued at $80,000. The secret of their success and any other insurance company is to show some attraction and inducement to insure the applicant as well as the beneficiaries of value received. Many railroad men will not take out a policy that does not have accident and sick benefits. They know that they need assistance while they live and have a family dependent upon them—in case of sickness or disability they need assistance then, when he was unable to work. This would be some inducement to keep up his dues, but without such inducements and concession he --- has obligated himself to pay up regularly perhaps for years, and what returns does he get? Buried, when he dies, which would surely be attended to by the city if he had no life insurance. What a grewsome impression must be left on the minds of the man and his family to have the solicitor or agent tell the man in the presence of his family that the company will bury him whencver he dies. Would this appeal to you? My experience and observation during my career on the road is the accident and sick benefit is the only popular and most satisfactory to all concerned.

Henderson of Pasadena and Los Angeles, graduated in pharmacy, at Harvard university, Washington, D.C. Arthur Murray, a Pullman porter, was given a verdict of fourteen thousand dollars from the supreme court of Pennsylvania for injuries received on the Reading railway. The city's call for two hundred more firemen, made necessary by the two platoon system, will afford an opportunity for the colored boys who pass the examination.
