Watts Struggling ForProgress; People Name Winning Ticket Winning Fight by the Independence League at Watts in the Coming Election—Election April 10th The red hot campaign of Watts is coming to a head and the ticket as published herewith will be elected beyond per-adventure, but the Independence League wants to clinch this victory by such a vote that it will forever silence those who stand in the way of progress in Watts. The following is the people's ticket, the men thereon represent the people and are for all the people all the time regardless of race, color or creed, creed. Trustees JACOB J. HOHN .....X JOHN S. LANGE .....X City Clerk WALTER I. HOPCRAFT .....X City Treasurer SARAH A. SMITH .....X To say that the above ticket stands for a square deal for everybody is a complete and concrete analysis of the same for it is composed of purely commoners whose honesty and integrity cannot for one moment be questioned.. For trustee Jake Hohn as he is called by the entire populace, is a man whom everyone knows. They know that he can have no other than a keen interest for the future prosperity of Watts, as he has large property interests here, he is a plain, common, every-day, unassuming young man whom all may approach and consult on the problems which confront the city and that is what is needed in Watts at this time. He is receiving the united support of the League and will be a strong winner on the 10th. Now John Lange is the one best bet for the people in this election. He has been tried and found to ring true on every proposition which had for its object the interests of the people. As a present member of this board he stands like a stone wall for the people. The people universally hold in the highest esteem Mr. Lange for his great service in their behalf and will give to him a magnificent endorsement on the 10th of April. W. I. Hopcraft is one of the splendid citizens of Watts who has since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, been a booster for Watts. He is on out his merits for this position. The California Eagle desires to give its support to Mr. Hopcraft. He has been a man that has encouraged the enterprise of these people as for many months those who read the Eagle will remember his advertisement was always therein. So for the reason of his fitness and this time because he is with the people against the ring, we urge for him a strong and unanimous support. Now for this office the present incumbent, Mrs. Sarah A. Smith, has no opposition, but we want to say that she is a splendid, first class citizen and all are proud of her and to know that she has always made good. RETAIN STATE PROSPERITY, SLOGAN OF LEAGUE Organization of Business Men Opens Headquarters to Begin Campaign. Plan to Please Tourists. Make California 'Home of Visitors' is Plea of New Combine Opening headquarters in the Higgins building and launching a campaign for members, the first steps to extend the California Prosperity league to every city, village, and hamlet in the state in the fight on prohibition and other measures termed by the league as detrimental to the welfare of the state, were taken today by the new officers of the mammoth business men's organization. The fight to save the grape and wine industries from annihilation, to encourage prosperity by the bringing of more business to California, by the location of new factories and the sweeping of obsolete and harmful laws from the state statute books, will be waged unceasingly. Particular attention will be devoted to the two proposed prohibition amendments that will be submitted to the people at the November state election, to defeat them and protect the wine industry. Plans For Officers The plans of the new officers, elected at the meeting at the Alexandria yesterday, at which the purpose of the new organization was forcefully brought out by half a dozen able speakers, were made public today. Sub-stations, so to speak, will be opened in every city and town in Los Angeles county as the first step. Through these sub-stations members of the organization will be enrolled, and will take up the fight to keep California prosperous and to make the state still more attractive to the hundreds of thousands of tourists who come here seeking amusement, rest and recreation. The next step will be to open offices in the northern cities and to extend the work of the organization to all of the southern counties. No stone will be left unturned to carry out the plans and ambitions of the organization to preserve California prosperity and to defeat the proposed prohibition bills, saving the light wine industry that made California famous. Garland is Chief In the absence of William May Garland, president of the new organization, from the city, Watt Moreland, vice-president, served as head of the body of enthusiastic business men today. When Mr. Garland returns from New Orleans, where he is attending the convention of realty men, he will assume active management of the California Prosperity League and superintend its campaigns.

ATE PROSPERITY, SLOGAN O of Business Men Opens Headquar Mr. Moreland today outlined the purposes of the organization, as follows: "There are thousands of eastern residents who want to come to California for the winter, or for the summer, but who feel that they would be hampered by the restrictive laws of the state. These people are bent on pleasure and they are going where they can find pleasure with personal liberty. "It is not necessary to offer these good people anything more than they could find in eastern states. If we want to turn our business over to Florida, the best way to do it is to adopt prohibition and other similar laws. Boost Wine Industry "The wine industry of the state has done as much if not more for the prosperity of California than any other single thing. There is no reason why this industry should be made to suffer from a law that will hurt the state and the industry and will do no one any good. "It is the same with many other laws on the books or proposed. They only hamper and handicap business and are keeping down prosperity. "We are going to swat these laws and we are going to give business and industry a chance to make good. There can be no real prosperity in California unless the merchants, the manfacturers, the ranchers and al lempoyers of labor are making enough money to pay their bills and run their businesses." Edward F. Wehrle, Senator Robert N. Bulla, Watt Moreland, Edward B. Lovie, Max E. Socha, Judge Griffith Jones, Leo V. Youngworth and Oscar Parish took active parts in the meeting at the Alexandria at which the California Prosperity League was launched. They all spoke on the purposes and the end toward which the organization would work. In calling the meeting to order, Mr. Wehrle, who acted as chairman, said: "California is singularly situated. We have the tourist travel to depend on, and the prosperity and fame of the state are equally dependable upon its wine industry. Those who come here want personal and individual liberty—they are against prohibition and many of them have strong reasons for such opposition. "I do not believe in prohibition—it does not prohibit." "I believe in temperance, and from what I have actually seen in Arizona and other dry state I believe that when a law is passed which the people do not believe in, we have a general disrespect for all laws." Senator Bulla sounded the keynote of the organization. "To fight these measures we must have an organization," he said. "We need a president who will devote time and energy to the campaign and who will fight against any measure that will destroy one of our chief industries." He nominated Mr. Garland for the presidency and the election was carried. Talks of Experience Judge Griffith Jones, magistrate of the sunrise court, in a signal address praised the California wine industry. He said: "During the time I have presided over the sunrise court not one man has been before me who became intoxicated on California wine. "I know that this organization stands for opposition to intemperance. I want the co-operation of everyone her to stamp out drunkenness, but I know it cannot be done by prohibition laws. Preservation of the wine industry and the freer use of California wines, instead of heavily fortified liquors, will do more for temperance than all the prohibition laws the state colud enact." Charles F. Lummis, Motley H. Flint, Leo V. Youngworth and Max E. Socha all gave their opinions, upholding the principles of the California Prosperity League. The privations endured by the pioneer grape growers and the hardships they suffered in the struggle to place the industry on the high plane it now holds were told by Mr. Lummis, former city librarian and California historian. Many of the most prominent and influential business men in this city were present on this occasion and pledged their support to this organization in its fight to retain prosperity in this state. Boost Wine Industry "The wine industry of the more for the prosperity of Califor thing. There is no reason why a suffer from a law that will hurt will do no one any good.

OAKLAND JOTTINGS By John Peyton Young Charles Tillman is preparing a general directory for the Bay cities, which will be on the market soon. Mr. and Mrs. Emit Mitchell, who were among our most desirable citizens, have left Oakland to live in the intellectual city of Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Cleave Murray are planning an extended trip through the East and South and will leave next week. Mr. and Mrs. G. Sears leaves next week to visit their parents and friends in Texas. The many friends of young Jason Rutherford are grieved to learn of his untimely death. Young Rutherford was an energetic young man with a bright future. He would have graduated from the University this spring. Mr. J. B. Wilson and Mrs. Jewel Brown are reported ill at their homes. Their friends are anxiously listening for better news concerning their recovery. Our Oakland correspondent, Mr. J. Peyton, is on the job and after each trip kindly remits his finding concerning race interests and opportunities at the end of each trip. This time he reports that he has visited Vallejo, and states that with regards to race prejudice, this is one of the most undesirable places for members of the race. THE WAR BRIDES It is reported that there is much sadness in the matrimonial camp due to the fact that many of the grooms have been sent into Mexico to be chased by Villa. CENTRAL AVENUE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY In suite 8 of the Booker T. Washington Building, 1013½ Central Ave., is located the above employment company which has been in operation for the past few weeks with Mr. Wm. Johnson as manager; under his direction it has been a success from the start and from morning until night this is a busy place. Mr. Johnson has been very successful in placing both men and women in good positions and has orders at all times for competent help. If you are out of work look up Johnson at the above number, the man who both gets jobs and furnishes the best help, male or female. THE CHURCH SOME OF THE THINGS I SEE AND HEAR AS I PASS ALONG Sojourner Truth Makes Plunge to Get Out of Debt Sojourner Truth club house is without a doubt the most beautiful and complete home for colored girls in this or any other country owned, managed and controlled by women of the race. A work of this sort accomplished in so short a period would be a credit to any people. Last Sunday afternoon was the time set aside by the members to close their "get out of debt" rally. We were edified upon this occasion to note how quietly, but effectively these women work. Mrs. J. M. Scott led off with $116.50 followed by Mrs. Cora Campbell, $92.39; the matron, Mrs. Elbert, $68.89; Mrs. John Jackson, $25.20. --- Dr. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, was speaker for the occasion. The good doctor was as usual in a high spiritual mood. His subject was "The Two Men or Minds" and in language simple, but far beyond the comprehension of a carnal mind; this intellectual spiritual giant defied competition in his description of the present status of this day's civilization. It would be utterly impossible to analyze the doctor's subject as it was impressed upon us, but we will say that he emphasized the fact that men, in their effort to develop the material had forgotten the real in life, and the result is the present state of affairs—such as restlessness in politics and society, wars and rumors of war. The Barbers' Contest presented by Miss Mattie Shackelford last Wednesday evening at Central Hall was a grand success, and Miss Shackelford deserves the applause and encouragement of us all. Rev. J. Logan Craw Pastor of First A. M. E. church, 8th and Towne avenue, and chairman of one of the delegations to the Centennial Session of the General Conference that will open in Philadelphia, Pa., on Wednesday, May 3, 1916. Rev. Mr. Craw will leave this city for that historic meeting, Wednes- The Tacky Party given at the residence of Mrs. Jennie Williams of Hemlock St., Thursday evening a week past, was one of the most unique house affairs visited by us. The costumes on this occasion took in four periods, i. e. the medieval, ancient, colonial and present day. Mrs. Binkley of 849 Ceres Ave. of the colonial period carried away the prize. The debate pulled off at Wesley Chapel church Monday evening. March 20, is to be repeated. The same two women who so easily defeated the same two men, will battle again, but next time the subject will read thus: "Resolved, That women should be granted national suffrage. We advise the brethren to work hard for this time, as far as the women are concerned, the fight is two-fold. We are glad to learn that our good Dr. H. D. Prowd has recovered sufficiently from the injuries sustained by a fall from a San Pedro St. car Friday evening a week ago, and will be able to fill his pulpit all day Sunday at the Second Baptist church. Dr. Prowd is a newcomer in our midst who we most heartily welcome. So well has he lived and moved in church and society in other parts from which he came that his character and reputation both speak loudly for him. The dinner served at the residence of Mrs. Joseph L. McCoy last Monday was a "top nother." The Eagle staff ask that the good ladies responsible for the same repeat it in the near future, on the same plan, however. The Angelus moving picture show, 934 Central, continues to put on the very best in motion pictures, also their high class vaudeville on Monday and Friday evening are the real class, the people both young and old, large and small, are demonstrating they appreciate the efforts of Messrs. Gordon and Williams to provide for them the splendid place of amusement. day, April 26, via Southern Pacific R. R. on "The California" to Kansas City. There he will join the Fifth Episcopal District Delegation which will go to take part in this great meeting. During Dr. Craw's absence he plans to fill his pulpit here with some of the ablest men in the West, aside from other attractions of a sacred nature that cannot be excelled. He will return to conduct services and administer the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday in June. "Go-to-Church Sunday" will be emphasised tomorrow. April 2nd, and First A. M. E. church, 8th and Towne avenue, welcomes everybody. Rev. Craw, the pastor, will deliver two special sermons. This great church with its great choir and metropolitan congregation is also preparing elaborate Easter exercises. A new carpet will adorn the Auditorium on Eastern Sunday as a donation from the Men's Co-operative club and the Easter day rally effort will close with a sacred program by the choir of 60 voices under the direction of Prof. By- Our 'Work is as Good as The Best And Better Than The Rest TIRE APPLIANCE CO. 500-510 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco Our vulcanizing plant is the largest and best in and tubes.

The Eagle correspondent accompanied them to the Waldorf in Los Angeles and enjoyed a 6 o'clock dinner. Mr. Wells is a great admirer of Major Thompson of Chicago and a close student of all public questions pertaining to politics. If you have not registered yet this year, go today and do so. Remember, you will want to vote this fall. We will vote on the whiskey question; also we will elect a President. There will be a hot time Saturday in Los Angeles on the Y.M.C. A. field, 194 entries having been received, which means that Keat will run in the sprints and hurdle evente. The tract meet will constitute all of the high schools in Southern California, and each school will send its best. Pasadena will send James and Titus Moore, Bunch Perry and Paddock. They say Paddock has the swelled head. If such is the case he deserves to be soundly spanked and sent to bed, as he is only 16 years of age and is a freshman. His success must have traveled to his head. We regret to hear of the death of Miss Helen Wadlow. She was an adopted daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. Wadlow of S. Vernon avenue. She died at the county hospital. Mrs. Weatherton has the distinction of being the only woman to conduct an employment office in Pasadena. She is a reader of the Eagle. Mrs. Mary J.

White Papers Give Race Man Third Place All eyes will be turned on Elroy Lott the "Poly" high jumper Saturday when the city schools meet in the title battle. Lott has won first place over every school except Manuel and we hope for him to annex 5 or 3 points. OUR MATRIMONIAL AND ADVICE COLUMN Aunt Jemima A few months ago I bought a beautiful Ortrich plume for a very reasonable price. Thinking that I would like another so that I might have two on my summer hat, I went to town and found that the prices are double what th what what they were. Can you tell why? The cause is due to the war. The European markets have been closed and 460,000 of the 800,000 ostrich in South Africa have starved on account of shortage of corn. While at a concert the other evening I met a young lady with whom I fell in love. Could you advise me what steps to take that I might become better acquainted with her. I am very anxious to be in her company. You seem to know very little about the lady. Therefore I would advise you not to be in too great a hurry. If it is intended that you should become better acquainted with the lady time will tell. For Sale by F. H.

As this was program night, the following program was presented by the Program Committee; Temperance Reading Mr. Hilbert Rozier Instrumental Solo Miss Poris Youug Debate: Resolved that Industrial Education is more beneficial than Literary Education. Affirmative: Miss Nivian Temple and mr. Lawrence Green. Negative: mr. Augustas Green and mr. Eugene Walker. Judges: miss Ruth Temple, mr. Jas Rodgers and mr. mc Donald. The debate was red hot from start to finish and is said to be the best, every heard in the city by a young society. The Judges admit it gave them a good deal of trouble, taking twenty five minutes to come to a decision. There were about twenty persons present. In spite of the un favorable weather the Poly Social Club held its regular meeting, last Thursday evening at Violet Playground Club house. A good number were present. Furiong Tract Bulletin.

With the return of warmer weather, baseball candidates everywhere are taking advantage of it and many teams may be seen in action this summer. The Y.M.C.A. will start practice Thursday afternoon at Exposition park. A meeting will be held on Friday night to elect captain and manager. Laurence Green has worked hard this year trying to build up the association team and he is pretty sure to be the next captain of the squad. Julius Baker. Manual Arts and White Sox catcher, is going great these days. We wouldn't be surprised if "Rube" Foster doesn't get on his trail. We are proud to say that all of our race representatives in the city track meet made splendid showings. Clarence Bluett of Manual Arts and Wm. Pillows of Los Angeles, both annexed points in their favorite events, the shot-put and 220-yard dash respectively. El Roy Lott of Poly also deserves much credit, and the fact that he did not place in the city. The Giants added another to their long list of victories Sunday when they took the measure of the Harlow cafe team at Huele park, score 3 to 0. This was the opening game in the Giants' park. Hatch twirled shut-out ball for nine innings, while his team mate shammed in three runs. C.

Williams; also Mrs. Nelson, (chairman of the program committee) gave a talk, also Mrs. Thomson. Collection for the afternoon, $7.80. Mr. Editor: Please permit me to say through your paper that we should honor our great men and revere their names after death. Has the time come that we should not? Have we gone so high up in the social world that we so lightly regard those who give their lives for our advancement, that we should drag their names in the lowest pit? It should be painful to the heart of every negro in the United States to see the name of him who gave his life to teach us how to respect each other and protect each other's good name brought down to the dust. In the San Diego Evening Tribune on Wednesday, the 10tn, was an article commenting on a party of colored men on the streets with music advertising a Booker T. Washington ball. Is it possible that the young negroes have so little respect for the Christian religion and the principle this good man represented that they should dare to connect his name with a ball, and to cap it all the whole party landed in jail for disturbing the peace? Is that the way we honor our great men? Does that bring honor to the Race? Does it put any value upon the work this great man spent his life in trying to do? Every negro in these United States should see to it that that the name of this great hero of the Race should be lifted up and not cast down. Booker T. Washington's name was inscribed upon the greatest Book of all ages, the Book of Life, who's keeper is Christ. Mrs. Smith of 744 3rd street is expected to return to San Diego this week. Our old friend, Rev. Nelson, is looking the picture of health. San Diego agrees with him. Among the visitors to our city we notice Mr. Pentegas, Mr. Brown, who is in from the Exposition, Peal Ramsey, who has returned after a month's stay in the North, Miss Willa Hosman from La Jolla, who attends the races dressed in the latest fashion, Miss L. Newlin, one of the fashion plates from New York, and many others. A fine baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Little at their residence, 720 3rd street. Baby weighed 10 pounds. Both mother and baby reported 'doing well. A fine baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Al Ramsey weighing 7 pounds. Both mother and daughter doing fine. M. T. Laws, business manager of the Eagle, has been confined to his bed for several days and is still under the doctor's care. The Wayfayers club had an opening last Tuesday, May 16 Quite a number were out. Last Monday night there were more people at the Savoy theater than ever before, that is, they were in couples; usually gents go alone, but the plays have been so far above the average that gentlemen now take their lady friends. How nice! What an improvement. It shows that the people appreciate good shows. There are a great many San Francisco people in the city. The races are well attended by the sports from Los Angeles. Tia Juana is a lively little place during the racing season. Joe Stansel is in a very bad condition at his mother's home on Menlo street. He has taken a setback from the bullet wound received accidentally a little over a month ago. Miss Helen Randolph has returned home, having spent six weeks with her relatives at Long Beach. She reports having had a nice time. James Warren is improving at the county hospital. On last Sunday the Mt. Zion Baptist church gave an auxiliary rally.

Norwood, president, $7.24; the Carnation club, Mrs. L. E. Goodwin, president, $11.49; the Sunday-school, Mrs. J. W. Gray acting superintendent, $1.86. Total collected, $23.24. The rally was given to raise money to furnish the parsonage. The Ol ander club, which was organized about a month ago, met Friday afternoon at Miss Annie Mulholland's, the president of the club. Miss Mulholland will entertain again Friday afternoon, at which meeting the by-laws and constitution will be read. Mrs. C. E. Norwood, the chaperon of the club, has a cordial invitation to be present as a guest, as she intends leaving San Diego for Los Angeles, on a two or three week's stay. The girls are sorry to have her go, but Mrs. Norwood thinks she needs a rest. But can she rest in Los Angeles? Mrs. L. L. Alexander paid $4 on her Fagle subscription. On last Sunday afternoon Mrs. L. Alexander and her daughter, Miss Cook, entertained at luncheon Mrs. Reynolds and Master Clifford Reynolds, Mrs. Senorita H. Zamorano and her company. A delightful afternoon was passed. Rev. C. Williams preached a very interesting sermon at Mt. Zion Sunday evening, "Courtship" being his subject. On next Sunday the subject will be on "Marriage." Come out and hear what he has to say. Fire in the clothes cleaning establishment of W. W. Williams on 4th, north of Market street, caused damage to the extent of $300 shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday. Clothes hanging too close to a gasolene stove were ignited, it is said. Besides the loss of a number of suits, the building, a onestory brick, with wood roof and interior finish, was damaged by the flames, which burned through a partition. There was no insur- M. T. LAWS, Business Manager Cheerfulness God bless the cheerful person, man, woman or child, old or young illiterate or educated, handsome or homely. Over and above every other social trait stands cheerfulness. What the sun is to nature, what the stars are to night, what God is to the stricken heart which knows how to lean upon Him, are cheerful persons in the house and by the wayside. Man recognizes the magic of a cheerful influence in woman more quickly and more willingly than the potency of dazzling genius of commanding worth, or even of enslaving beauty, If we are cheerful and contented all nature smiles with us; the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the ground has a brighter green, the trees a richer foliage, the flowers a more fragrant smell, the birds singing more sweetly and the sun, moon and stars all appear more beautiful. Cheerfulness! How sweet in infancy, how lovely in youth, how saintly in age. There are a few noble natures whose presence carries sunshine with them wherever they go; a sunshine which means pity for the poor, sympathy for the suffering, help for the unfortunate, and benignity toward all. How such a face enlivens every other face it meets and carries into every company vivacity and joy and gladness. But the scowl and frown begotten in a selfish heart and manifesting itself in daily, almost hourly fretfulness, complaining, fault finding, angry criticisms, spiteful comments on the motives and actions of others, how they thin the cheek, sbrivel the face, sour and sadden the countenance. No joy in the heart, no nobility in the soul no generosity in the nature; the whole character as cold as an iceberg, as hard as Alpine rock, as arid as the waste of Sahara. Look on the bright side. keep the sunshine of a living faith in the heart. Do not let the shadow of discouragement and despondency fall on your path, however weary you may be, the promises of God will never cease to shine like the stars at night, to cheer and strengthen. Learn to wait as well as labor, the best harvests are the longest in ripening. It is not pleasant to work in the earth plucking the ugly tares and weeds, but it is necessary as sowing the seed, the harder the task the more need of singing. A hopeful spirit will discern the silver lining of the darkest cloud, for back of all planning and doing with its attendant discouragements and hindrance shines the light of Divine promise and help. Be cheerful for it is the only happy life, the times may be hard, but it will make them no earlier to wear a gloomy and sad countenance, it is the sunshine and not the cloud that makys the flower. There is always that before or around us which should fill the heart with warmth. The sky is blue ten times where it is black once. You have troubles, it may be, so have other, none are free from them; perhaps it is as well that none should be; they give sinew and tone to life, fortitude and courage to man. It would be a dull sea and the sailor would never get skilled, if there was nothing to disturb the surface of the ocean. It is the duty of every one to extract all the happiness and enjoyment he can without and within him, and all above all he should look on the bright side of things, even though they look a little dark the lane will turn and the night will end in broad day. In the long run the great balance rights itself; what is ill becomes well, what is wrong becomes right. Men are not made to hang down either heads or lips and those who do only show that that they are departing from the paths of true common sense and right, there is more virtue in one sunbeam than a whole hemisphere of cloud and gloom. Therefore, we repeat, look on the bright side of things, cultivate what is warm and genial, not the cold and repulsive, the dark and morose. Don't neglect your duty, live down predjudice. We always know the cheerful man by his hearsy "good morning" don't forget to say it; say it to your parents' your brothers and sisters, your schoolmates, your teachers, and say it cheerfully and with a smile, it will do you good and do your friends good. There's a kind of inspiration in every "good morning" heartily and smilingly spoken that helps to make hope fresher and work lighter. It seems really to make the morning good and a prophecy of a good day to come. If this be true of the "good morning" it is a so of all kind, cheerful greetings; they cheer the discourage, rest the tired one, and somehow make the wheels of time run more smoothly. Be liberal then and let no morning pass, however dark and gloomy it may be, that you do not help at least to brighten it by your smiles and cheer. The cheerful are the busy; when trouble knocks at your door or rings the bell he will generally retire if you send him word engaged and a busy life cannot well be other wise than cheerful. Frogs do not croak in running water and active minds are seldom troubled with gloomy forebodings, they come only from stagnant depths of a spirit unstirred by generous impulses or the blessed necessities of honest toil. The industrious bee stops not to complain that there are so many poisonous and thorny branches in his road but buzzes on, selecting the honey where he can find it and passing quietly by the places where it is not. There is enough in this world to complain Common Sense Thrift We believe that a "man with money in the Bank is a better citizen than he/otherwise would be. The only way to get ahead in money matters is to save systematically a portion of your income and deposit it regularly in a strong, conservative bank, such as this, where it will earn a good rate of interest.

Pastor Kinchen will say a word Sunday relative to a statement made by an attorney at one of the churches on last Sunday about the general conference of the M.E. church at Sarotoga Springs. The statement that because the newspapers report the proceedings of the general conference are silent on other similar conferences that is an indication of the disorder at Saratoga Springs which is a falsehood. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES (Eighth and Towne Ave.) Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor. Sunday was a great day at Fire church. Large crowds were present Wesley Chapel both morning and evening. At the morning services the ladies of the Mite Missionary Society gave out white carnations in honor of "Mother's Day." The sermon by Rev. H. H. Williamson was a spiritual feast. The choir as usual rendered excellent music. The appeal made by Mrs. C. Barr, for the Day Nursey was responded to liberally by the large congregation. At the evening services Mrs. J. L. Craw delivered her first sermonette to the delight of all. The pastor sends greetings to all members and friends and says he is well, but busily engaged in the work of the great general conference. Sunday promises to be another spiritual feast. We will have with us another of our able visiting ministers. The Red and Blue contest is on full blast in our Sunday school. There were 151 present last Sunday, the red side was ahead. This contest closes Children's Day night. Tuesday evening the pastor's wife and mother were completely surprised by a number of members and friends who gave them a pound party. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all, after which dainty refreshments were served. The branch office of the Eagle in Pasadena has moved from 26 E. Colorado to 45 South Delacy. All mail will be sent to the above address, while the main office is at 814 Central avenue, Los Angeles. The phone number is Main 1594. S. B. Carr has charge of the local office. Please notify him if you fail to get your paper, as that is the only way that he has to know it. It is reported that the Pasadena High School will send Titus Moore to Chicago to compete with the High School Tract meet in June. He has already won the championship of California in the high jump, and the P.H.S. think he can bring back the bacon from Chicago. We regret to hear that Prof Moore is to remove back East. This will be a great loss to Pasadena society, as well as to the High School, as both the boys, Titus and James, are stars at P.H.S. Howard Drew is again in the city and will enter U.S.C. this fall. What is the trouble with the Day nursery? The greatest revival ever held in this city has just closed. It was conducted by Rev, F. F. Moten of Los Angeles. It was held at the A.M.E. church of Pasadena. Rev. Dyatt is a happy man, and he has few equals on the Coast as a Christian minister. Many have joined the church. Don't forget Monday night at Wesley chapel, when the choir from Scott chapel will journey to Los Angeles and give a concert. Mrs. Beavers is not leaving a stone unturned to make it a grand success, so let us all go over and help her. Buy rolling stock, not mining, F. M. Prince, L. S. Baker, W. B. Carr and Wm. Prince now have autos, while Willie Carr has purchased a motorcycle. Mrs. Walter Carr entertained a few friends Wednesday evening in honor of her husband's birthday, it being the thirtieth anniversary of his birth. Dr. Nelson is enjoying a fine practice in this city. J. Braye was in the city Wednesday in the interest of an industrial school for colored people. Another preacher goes wrong and gets 15 years in State's prison for it, Rev. Madison Slaughter of Oroville, Cal., convicted of improper relations with a 15-year-old girl. While we believe that a call to the ministry is the highest call that comes to man, yet we believe that if all of them would get justice while on earth there would be many a vacant pulpit. As a rule they do more to keep our race divided than any other set of professional men in our Race, but Rev. Slaughter was not a member of our Race, but was a servant of God. Remember that the saints are in heaven. THE BAY OF THE WATER When the evening sun is setting, Far off in the golden west And my thoughts begin to wander, To the ones that I love best. How my heart breaks down in sorrow And how tears bedim my eyes As I think of you, dear papa, Way up yonder in the skies. It's almost a year, dear papa, But to us it seems a day Since you left us, oh, so sudden To go so far away. When we sit and think and wonder It seems but as a dream, That now you should be away forever, No more on earth be seen. But when I close my eyes in slumber Sister Dolly Lewis is dangerously ill at Jefferson, Ky., and has been for four weeks, but at this writing it is reported she is some better. We pray that she may recover and soon return to her home in this city. She is a member of Scott chapel and was a great assistant to the late Dr. Duncan while he was pastor of Scott chapel. The Missionary Society will render a special high class musical and literary program at the Metropolitan Social Hall, 140 Waverly Drive, Pasadena, on next Thursday evening, May 25. The program will be rendered by some of the best talent of Pasadena; in addition to this other prominent persons of Los Angeles will take part. Dr. H. D. Prowd of the Second Baptist church will speak, and his daughter, Miss Helen Prowd, will render her favorite piano selection. Mrs. A. F. Webber, president of the Women's Convention Auxiliary of the State Baptist Convention of California, will also speak. Some of the social features will be a pond and post office. This, together with other amusements will constitute the evening's ovation. Don't fail to be present. Admission free. Those of the delegates from the Grand Circle which convened in San Francisco returned Friday morning, in person of mmes. Anglen, R. C. Sims and Corry of Pasadena. They report. a delightful time spent, but said they were glad to get back where the sun was shining. TIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH Providence Inst, church will have services Sunday by Rev. E. Payne at 7:30 p. m. Rev. A. G. Williams will also speak. All the clubs are at work again and will report the fourth Sunday in this month. All welcome. Ward A.M.E. Church Notes Last Sunday was a high one in Zion, the pastor occupying the pulpit. Two openly confessed to the Lord Jesus, one being a woman nearly 60 years of age. Sunday Dr. moten will preach. Dinner will be served at 1 o'clock. Services at 8 p. m. Tabernacle Church Last Sabbath was gloriously passed at the Tabernacle church, the pastor filling his pulpit both morning and evening. The Sabbath school was well attended. The pastor preached an eloquent sermon in the morning And the world is fast asleep It is you who comes and whispers, I am happy, do not weep. Aud I hear your sweet voice calling And I see your pleasant smile. Then I ask myself the question, Is our crying worth the while? He is happy, why should we sorrow And let tears bedim our eyes. Let's strive to meet him on the morrow And live with him above the skies. Sleep on, dear papa, sleep thou on, Angels thy vigil's keep Nothing, no nothing but the trumpet of God Shall disturb thy slumber deep. And when our work on earth is done And we receive the final call. We shall meet you mother, and the rest in heaven To help crown Him Lord of all. —Your daughter, A. C. H. Bildrew. taking as his text, "The Presence of Christ," which heid the large congregation all attention. Bible study every evening from 7 until 8.

Jones of Tabernacle church preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock. mothers' day was observed at the evening service. The pastor delivered a special sermon to the mothers for the occasion. The choir rendered special music for the occasion. Phillip Chapel C.M.E. Church 1406 Newton Street Services were well attended Sunday. The pastor preached at both services. Mrs. Spear-Bass addressed the Epworth League. Her address was full of good wholesome thought and inspiration to all who heard her. Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Anderson were the guests of mr. and Mrs. T. C. Colbert for dinner Sunday at their home in Boyle Heights. There will be a lecture given for the benefit of one of the clubs June 5th. An excellent program is being arranged for the occasion. Notice and full particulars later. The neighbors and friends of mrs. M. J. Davis tendered her a very pleasant little party on last Tuesday evening on her arrival home from San Diego, where she had been for the last three weeks. mrs. Davis stated that her trip was very beneficial, and being organizer of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs she was invited to visit several of the local clubs, two of which she makes special mention. The Friday club which is so well known all over the state for its hospitality to visitors and strangers, and whose every meeting is a reception, upheld by the dignity of their most efficient president, mrs. E. J. Freeman. The club observed Shakespeare's Day with a most excellent program. The Old Ladies' Helping Hand club was an inspiration. They are taking care of their sick and burying their dead and doing a great work. Mrs. Woodley, acting president. Having seen the sights and visited the Exposition two days as guest of mr. and Mrs. Winston, do truly say that she never spent a more profitable vacation in her life, thanks to the San Diego ladies and to the sunshine and The California Eagle 1879 1915 J.

ADVERTISING RATES, 50c per inch ATTORNEY E. BURTON CERUTI SCORES GREAT VICTORY IN MILLER MURDER TRIAL AT SANTA BARBARA Special to The California Eagle In the Miller murder trial, which is now on in this city, every inch of the ground is being stubbornly contested by both sides. So far in the preliminaries the defense by Chief Counsel E. Burton Ceruti, assisted by Judge Gammil of this city, have out-maneuvered and out-generalled the prosecution and on Thursday on motion of the defense, six jurors, after having been sworn in were discharged and the peremptory challenges restored to the defense. This point was bitterly contested by District Attorney Squires, who argued at length against it, but to no avail. Attorney Ceruti is demonstrating his worth as a criminal lawyer and is the cynosure of all eyes as he is making a strenuous battle for the life of his client. This is the 16th day since the trial has started and no one at this time will hazard a guess as to its finish. Venire after venire has been called and exhausted. There are many jurors who deliberately disqualify themselves from service. There are also those who have probably seen the Clansman and say right out that on account of Race prejudice they could not give the defendant a fair trial. It seems as though some of them are steeped much farther in the depths of ignorance and superstition than the Black Race, and as a result thereof have an innate prejudice and cannot assert a reason therefor. This condition makes the task of securing a jury a hard one. In the meantime many witnesses are chasing under their enforced absence from their homes and their business, but there is no help for it, they have no alternative but to stick until discharged by the court when the state and defense have closed their presentation of evidence. Jury Has Been Obtained On Wednesday night at 10 o'clock, just 24 days since the trial of Tom Miller started, was the last juror selected to sit on his trial. The evidence is now being heard and it is predicted that by Monday or Tuesday of next week the trial will be finished. The battle will rage over the insanity issue, which will be the defense offered, hence the state's testimony in chief is only perfunctory, but they will make their great effort in rebuttal. To one on the ground it looks like the defense has a stronger case than at the first trial, notwithstanding the record of a conviction for first degree murder in its favor, the state will have to go some to procure the same verdict this time. And any sort of verdict they render outside of first degree murder without recommendation will be a notable victory for the defense. HITTING THEIR STRIDE DOING THINGS WORTH WHILE Take a look at Central Avenue this week between 8th and 12th streets, and if you have ever doubted the part the Negro is playing in this march of progress that doubt will disappear even at the snow fades under the rays of the noonday sun. This great galaxy of business concerns of which you have read and now the great big new home of the Angelus theater is being erected, thirty to forty mechanics and laborers on the job. A colored contractor, colored brick layers, carpenters, plasterers, etc. The money to build the same is the product of that pioneer business man of the West and his energetic partner, viz., J. W. Gordon and F. A. Williams. These gentlemen, for their thrift, for their confidence in loyalty of their Race, and for the reason they are doing something which is a distinct benefit to their Race, should by all means have their unanimous backing in their efforts in this city. They are furnishing the avenue from which we as a Race must be able to traverse before we can come up in the mercantile pursuits. Go out Central Avenue way. Go and see for yourself that this people in this, the metropolis of the Pacific Coast, are coming, Father Abraham, 30,000 strong, and then you will feel as we feel, that we are hitting our stride and are doing the things worth while. IN ERROR—APOLOGY FOR SAME Rushing to press last week and our Santa Barbara correspondence reaching us late, too late to read even the proof, an article slipped both the managing editor and editor of this paper. Said article cast reflection upon the credit of Mr. R. H. Hite. We desire to apologize to Mr. Hite, without even being asked to do so, for the appearance of said article. While the same appeared under head of Santa Barbara notes and was not written by us, we are responsible for all matter in these columns and we still maintain the principle of all men up and no man down, and when we err, we do not feel too big to own up the same. More especially when the same is not within the law. J. B. BASS, Editor. They thunder, out prosperity is here, but everybody seems to be from Missouri and they must really be shown. THE CALIFORNIA LAGLE We regret that Judge Griffin Jones has abdicated the bench of the Sunrise court, for since he has been thereon he has accomplished marvelous things for the cause of good citizenship in this community. He has reduced drunkenness in this city 50 per cent, has made many homes happy in doing so, and has gained for this city through his doing something worth while, a great publicity, so much so that many cities are adopting the rules made by Judge Jones in handling the situation here. But Judge Jones should worry, men of his worth will always be in demand and he will no doubt be called upon in a more pretentious manner to serve this people. EDITORIAL SHORT STOPS In a recent issue of The California Eagle it was stated that we as a Race were politically, after the Presidential Primaries, "Just where we started," and we added there was no occasion for rejoicing because the "regularars" won out. The truth of what we said has been strengthened by the contempt of the importance of that portion of the Negro vote that was loyal to them, as shown in the first meeting of the "regular delegates" in San Francisco, when they chose the 26 alternate delegates to the convention and did not select a single Negro. It is just such treatment that has cooled the ardor of many who fail to see the significance in calling a mere "political machine" a "party." "Machines," though' do not usually reward their hirelings, as they have again and again boasted it is more convenient to pay before the election than to be under obligation after the election. If this is their claim now, of course, we haven't anything to say. The "lilywhite republicans" have been busy in the South, and by the way, in some of the Western states. The National Republican Executive Committee will be in session a week before the meeting of the Convention, and will pass upon the prima facie rights of contested delegates to seats in the Convention. Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Oklahoma, Mississippi. District of Columbia and several other Southern states will have contesting delegations. In every instance it is the old fight of the "lilywhite" who contends that the Negro shall have no voice in National delegate convention, and the so-called "black-and-tan," who believe that no man entitled to a seat in the convention should be debarred because of Race or Color. Let us be united in all of our Race endeavors. It is very plain that conditions are becoming more trying, and our lack of Race unity encourage those who would put obstacles in the way of our advancement. Now that Pan-America, the governments of Central and South America, have issued the fiat: United States must not intervene in the affairs of Mexico, the Wilson administration has a hard nut to crack. Edison, the great wizard of the electrical world, says that Theodore Roosevelt is worth more as a candidate for President, than all of the other mentioned candidates combined. What has become of those Texas cowboys that went into Mexico to be avenged on the Mexican raiders. Like Villa they appear to have been lost in the "shuffle." The Negro vote is the balancing power in six pivotal states. And his wants are too urgent to be passed up. The National Republican platform should condemn the Wilson's treatment of the Negro.

Zion Baptist church met Thursday afternoon from 2 to 4 at the home of Sister E. Freeman, 3013 Martin avenue. They are commencing a great work, and hope to do more and efficient work in the future than have ever done in the past. The helping hand portion of the work has had a little set back, owing to the fact that we have no place at present to establish the work, but are trying to make some plans by the help of God to get established soon, as there are so many of our people who need our help and assistance in this line. Mrs. R. Ryder is to give an entertainment for the B.Y.P.U. next Thursday evening at Masonic hall, April 6. Every one is cordially invited to attend, and all are assured a good time and a splendid program by our young people. Mrs. Ryder is chairman of the social committee of the B.Y.P.U. and we certainly appreciate her effort to get up an entertainment for the young people. Admission 15c. Come one, come all. The Eagle staff is also invited. The young people on Mt. Zion Hill met at the home of Mrs. C.
