Woman Accused Poisoning Child THE ATTITUDE OF DAILIES TOWARDS NEGRO AMERICANS We are aware, and highly ap preciate the fact that many of the Dailies have actively promulgated the cause of the Negro in this country at all times, but in spite of this fact we loath to state that in nearly every instance when and where Negroes come up for publicity, only the darkest side of his life is pictured in the white dailies. As in the case of a few days ago when a colored woman, one Mrs. Edna Barnes, was reported to have poisoned an infant, while in the employ of its parents. The daily in which we read the account stated that the woman was either insane or infurred because she was about to be dismissed from service, and poisoned the baby to get even. At first it seemed that the case would go unnoticed by the Colored citizens of this section, but somehow the matter was called to the attention of Dr. W. E. Kinchen who immediately got busy on the case, and many facts are being imerated. To begin with it has been stated by eye witnesses that at the time the child drank the poison the Colored woman was not in the house, and that the moving picture actress mother was in the habit of hiring help, and when pay day came around, manufactured some excuse for not paying off, and it was this experience that Mrs. Barnes was having when this incident occurred and that policeman when called of course grabbed the Colored woman on none other than the white woman's accusation and thrust her in the insane ward of the County Hospital and ere this would have sent her on to Patton had it not been for the activity of Dr. Kinchen, and others who secured the services of Attorney Hugh E. MacBeth, who is making every effort to secure such evidence that will at least entitle Mrs. Barnes to the proper hearing in the courts of Los Angeles. The case came up for the first time Thursday in Judge Sidney Reeves Department of the Justice Court and was held over for a hearing next Thursday. TOM MILLER TRIAL AT SANTA_BARBARA Special from Santa Barbara The editor of this paper is in Santa Barbara this week in attendance at the Miller trial, at which he is a witness. This trial promises to be longer drawn out than even the former one. It is estimated that it will be next Wednesday before a jury is secured. Attorney E. Burton Ceruti of Los Angeles is defending Miller and is assisted by Mr. Gammill, one of the attorneys at his former trial. A large number of witnesses from all parts of the state have been subpoenaed and no stone is being left unturned on behalf of the defense for insanity. Mr. Ceruti is recognized as a brilliant criminal lawyer and in this trial will no doubt give a good account of himself. Mr. Gammill, one of the pioneer attorneys of this section, who is assisting Mr. Ceruti, has been with the case from the first and is a valuable man and entitled to much credit for the manner in which he has stayed by his guns. District Attorney Squires is a very able, adroit and skilful lawyer, who, of course, will do his utmost to shatter the defense of the charge of insanity. Mr. Squires is a very pleasing and affable gentleman, and represents the county with dignity and honor. Judge Crowe, the presiding judge, is to our mind fair minded and it seems to be his highest ambition to deal out exact justice. The genial sheriff Stuart also is genial, hale and well met, and is very popular with all classes. The California Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., April 29, 1916 LAURENCE A. LACHANDER GRAND OPENING OF SEAL GARDENS After many delays incident to the remodeling of the famous Seal Gardens and the efficient work of a small army of men, Messrs. McAllister and Murray on last Sunday informally opened the gates of this very beautiful park to the public, the main attraction was a high class ball game between the L. A. White Sox and the W. O. W. team. More than a thousand were in attendance and they received a run for their money. Moody for the White Sox pitched a masterly game. He had the Woodmen eating out of his hand. He was very stingy with hits, allowing them only four safe swats. The pitcher, a south paw, of the Woodmen also showed the class. The score was 4 to 2 in favor of the White Sox. GRAND OPENING, MAY 30th While minor events will be held at the park from time to time, the very Grand Opening, the great event, will be on Decoration Day, May 30, at which time an elaborate program is being arranged. A grand parade will go through the principal streets of the city and grand and imposing exercises in honor of the enterprise of these gentlemen to take over and beautify this resort for n-tltsst-fr, r the purpose of providing an amusement park for our people. There will be a special program, short addresses by prominent citizens, the christening of the park by unique ceremonies, music by brass band, baseball, tennis, dancing and other innocent amusements. There will also be offered many prizes for various contests to be staged. KEEP THESE DATES BE FORE YOU June 5th, 6th and 7th Little hands are busy, and big minds are at work making plans for the biggest demonstration in art and beauty by our women at the Exchange for the above dates. There will also be a library program for each evening and dainty refreshments will be served from prettily arranged booths by the different clubs of the city. VOTE FOR THE UNITED REPUBLICAN TICKET "The contest within the Republican party in California to be decided at the polls May 2, is not a battle of any group of persons with another group of persons," declares a statement issued from United Republican headquarters, "but a clearly defined fight of progress against reaction. It is a contest over principles of a fundamental and vital nature. "A vote for the first 26 candidates for delegate to the Republican National Convention, and for none other (for to vote for more than 26 will invalidate the ballot), is a vote for progress, protection, patriotism and Republican victory. "A vote for any other candidates is a vote to perpetuate the reactionary organization represented in California by the Otis-Fredericks faction, which would bar the path of progress if again placed in control of the party they have steered upon the shoals; and it is a vote for sure defeat in November. "It should be remembered by every voter that regardless of whether he or she is registered as Republican, Progressive, Democrat, Prohibitionist, Socialist or with party affiliation not stated, the law distinctly provides that such voter may ask for and receive a Republican ballot May 2; and this act leaves the voter free to participate in the activities of his own party in the state election following. "The only contest, nationally, is within the Republican party. Those who believe in progress in national affairs should ask for Republican ballots May 2 and stamp a cross after the name of each of the first 26 candidates appearing on the ballot, beginning with the name of Robert N. Bulla and ending with the name of D. C. Collier, and after no other name." THE CAREER OF MR. JAMES ALEXANDER About thirty years ago when he was but a youth, and Los Angeles was still in infant garments as to population and prosperity in all lines, Mr. Alexander, still in the custody of his parents, came to this city where he has spent his early youth, received his education, and inibited the spirit of the West. Early in life Mr. Alexander demonstrated superior ability as a leader, and if the history of earlier days that we have had passed on to us is correct, the old Eagle, now the California Eagle, was the first to discover this young race man, and with pride, through its columns presented him to the public. And now after a thirty years' career for both Mr. Alexander and the California Eagle, it, is with no small degree of pride that we at this time turn on the searchlight from our journalistic tower in order that the Los Angeles public, friend and foe alike, may take a retroospective view of the efforts of Mr. Alexander during this period already mentioned. For a number of years, Mr. Alexander was a trusty and honored employer of Robinson's Dry Goods Store, the most up-to-date of its kind in Southern California, from which he went to fill a higher position of revenue collector in the U. S. Federal Department where he has been for near about eight years giving entire satisfaction as a competent workman in whatever line or part conducting himself in such man of the work that it was his good M. S. S. JAMES A. ALEXANDER VOTE FOR THE UNIT "The contest within the be decided at the polls May persons with another group issued from United Republic defined fight of progress again principles of a fundamental a "A vote for the first 26 o publican National Convention for more than 26 will invalid ress protection patriotism a fortune to share, and at all times ner that he has won for himself and race the esteem of the whites with whom he comes in contact daily. Some years ago when the Texas Association was started in this city the Californians, who hailed originally from the Lone Star State, looked among their number for a leader fit to bear the title of governor and direct the efforts of the organization, and it was the unanimous opinion that Mr. Alexander was the one man for that honored place. Hence for eight years he has so carefully manipulated the affairs of the association that today it owns property valued at $20,000 at 818 Wall street, and plans for the erection of a monster building on the same are on the way. The Association is making plans for the biggest annual picnic for June 19th when the six or seven hundred members will meet together in a grand old reunion. Mr. Alexander is also president of the Afro-American Council, one of the oldest and most active organizations for Colored people of this section. It was under his direction as president that many of the men who are employed about the Court House, Hall of Records and other public buildings of the State and City secured position and through his influence openings have been made in many business places for members of the Race. His work and his record speaks louder than words of his service and The Eagle believes in exploiting and encouraging this sort of citizenship. United Republicans Will Win Big Victory Eagle al., April 29, 1916 United Repu Win Big THE CHURCH IS MOVING ON. EASTER RALLY AND SERVICE GREATEST AND MOST SUCCESS- EVER HELD IN THIS HISTORIC EDI- Again the organ could well even with greater volume the song, "The Church is Moving On," for on last Sunday all previous records of the historic 8th and Towne ave. church were shattered, in attendance, in religious enthusiasm, in their beautiful service and in the amount of money raised at a rally in the time in which this one was consummated. $1327.78 was the amount raised. It was a gala day in the house of the Lord. As on the morn of the resurrection, all nature was in its fullness of glory. So on last Sabbath morning the church was decorated with palms and lilies, the Men's Co-operative Club true to their slogan of "Be Something, Do Something, Have Something," had supplied and recarpeted the church with a beautiful carpet at a cost of about $400.00, and Prof. Bynum at the head of this great aggregation of Gospel singers, sang most beautifully. In the evenig the choir rendered a sacred program and it was pronounced by all as the very best one ever rendered in the city, the choir itself was the embodiment of harmony in its mighty choruses and the soloists all did themselves proud. Mres. S. P. Dones excelled on the violin; Mr. Payne Middleton gained new laurels as a reader, and Miss Gould, Mrs. Bacon and Miss Young were superb in their rendition of their very appropriate solos. At the morning service Rev. Craw spoke beautifully and effectively, and indeed for the day it seemed that every event and happening centered around the thought expressed by the pastor; his as it were was the key word. The following is a full and complete financial statement of receipts and expenditures: FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J.

Resolved, That the Deaconess Board tenders its heartfelt sympathy to the family and relatives of our deceased sister in their sad afflictions. Our Sister is gone—"beyond the skies A cloud receives her from our eyes; Gone beyond the highest height Of mortal's gaze or angel's flight; Through the veils of time and space, All the battle fought and won." Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the Deaconess Board, and that a copy be sent to the family of our deceased sister. MRS. S. A. JOHNSON, Corresponding Secretary.

The brides had been requested to appear with their photographs when they were babies and each gentleman present made a guess as to who was who of the baby pictures, and if his guess was correct, had the pleasure of basking in the ladies presence for the evening. The idea was new and greatly enjoyed by the young folk. Dainty refreshments were served and a most enjoyable evening was spent by all present. ```markdown ``` ANNOUNCEMENT!

E. church of Pasadena was one of the greatest successful Easter services ever held in the history of the church. The Sunday school opened at 10 o'clock, half an hour later than usual, after the opening the collection was taken by the classes. The 12 classes turned in $44 for the missions. After the collection the members of the Sunday school marched from the room to the main auditorium 125 strong. The Easter program was rendered at 11 a.m. to a large congregation. After the program was over the regular church collection of $15 was taken. The committee headed by Mrs. Harding gave to the children 13 dozen Easter eggs, then Supt. Wm. Prince gave to all the Junior intermediate and adults classes 100 gold crosses made into pins and 30 souvedir buttons for the primary department. The pastor gave 12 infants certificates of membership, giving the age and name of the infant. At the evening services a sacred Easter concert was rendered by the choir to a crowded house. Every seat in the beautiful church was occupied. Mrs. W. W. Dyette directed the music. The choir was assisted by Hon. J. H. Kelly and Mrs. Eva Carter Buckner who gave readings, also readings from Mrs. Ryan and a dialogue by William Prince, Jr. and 5 young men. Miss Fthel Miller who has just returned from a year's stay in Honolulu sang a solo. She was greeted by her many friends. The church was beautifully decorated by the Ladies Aid Society, using hundreds of white roses. Mr. Dyette, Miss James Gooden, Mrs. John R. Wright had charge of training the children for the Sunday school. Mrs. E. Byant, the Supt. of the Primary department had charge of the program in that department. The collection for the day was $74. Rev. Dyette and the Supt. William Prince desire to thank all that helped make the day the great success that it was. Political Life Pasadena registration is 15,516 for the primary Tuesday when delegates to the National convention will be named. The United Republican ticket is in the lead. Col. T. Roosevelt won the Primary vote in Massachusetts last Tuesday. In Union there is strength. So we have a United Republican Club in this city. Officers: S. A. Carr, president and vice-presidents C. E. Anderson, J. C. C. Jackson, Mrs. Prof. J. C. Moore and Mrs. Frank M. Prince, Treasurer Geo. W. Dansby, Secretary William T. Carr. So do not forget to vote T. Tuesday and vote for 26 and let the first one you vote for be Robert N. Bulla, and down the line to D. C. Collier and let us get away from these Democratic times. I am a United Republican because I believe that a "House divided against itself must fall" says Attorney Hugh MacBeth. Louisiana elected a Democratic governor last week and he says the reason he is opposed to Roosevelt is that he took lunch with a Negro, but this is what Roosevelt says about it, "I did eat with him because he was a colored man, but because he was a gentleman, a scholar and my equal." Pasadena Locals Mr. George Barber is home from Arizona. William Ford says he will vote for the first 26 names on his ticket. We are proud to see Mr. Clemones out again after a week of illness. The Women's Missionary Society at Friendship Baptist church will meet on the first Sunday. Mrs. E. S. Dotson is president. The Easter program was rendered at 11 o'clock Sunday. Mrs. W. C. Fields was mistress of ceremonies, and it was a grand affair and the Sun- day school should feel proud of her. At the Metropolitan Baptist church Mrs. Hicks was in charge and she never left a stone unturned and it was the greatest ever held in the church. At Scott's chapel at 11 a.m. Rev. J. C. Moore preached and at 7:30 the pastor Rev, L. G. Robinson fille i the pulpit and preached a very able sermon, and on Monday evening the largest congregation that ever attended the church was present to listen to a program prepared by Mrs. Beavers. Don't forget to vote Tuesday and vote for the first 26 names on the United Republican ticket. OUR MATRIMONIAL AND ADVICE COLUMN Aunt Jemima As June is drawing near, Aunt Jemima is publishing this letter written to a June bride. The many questions that have been sent in will be answered in the next issue. LETTER TO A JUNE BRIDE Many year ago an old friend wrote this letter to a June bride on the eve of her wedding-day: "I have sent you a few flowers to adorn the dying moments of your single life. They are the gentlest types of delicate and durable friendship. They spring up by your side when others have deserted it; and they will be found watching over our graves when those who should cherish have forgotten" us. It seems that a past, so calm and pure as yours, should expire with a kindred sweetness about it—that flowers and music, kind friends and earnest words, should consecrate the hour when a sentiment is passing into a sacrament. "The three great stages of our being are the birth, the bridal and the burial. To the first we bring only weakness—for the last we have nothing but dust! But here at the alar, when life joins life, the pair come throbbing up the holy man, whispering the deep promise that arms each other's heart, to help on in the life-struggle of care and duty. The beautiful will be there, borrowing new beauty from this scene. The gay and thoughtless, with their flouces and frivolities, will look solemn for once. Youth will come to gaze upon the object of its secret yearnings; and are willtrotter up to hear the words repeated that to their own lives had given the charm. Some will weep over it as if it were a tomb, and some laugh over it as if it were a joke; but two must stand by it, for it is Fate, not fun, this everlasting locking of their lives. "And now, can you, who have queened it over so many bending forms, can you come down at last to the frugal diet of a single heart? Hitherto you have been a clock, giving your time to all the world. How you are a watch, buried in one particular bosom, warming only his breast, marking only his hours, and ticking only to the beat of heart—where time and feeling shall be in unison, until those lower ties are lost in that higher wedlock, where all hearts are united. "Hoping that calm and sunshine may nallow your clasped hands, I sink silently into a signature. ....." Eternal Spring Eva Carter Buckner We hear the gentle voice of Spring We bend a list'ning ear, There's something in her magic tone That give us hope and cheer. Old Winter loosened his ice hold New life to him denied. The sleeping flowers awake and bloom The earth's revivified. Ah, see the grass doth live again! Oh, list the songbird's voice! The frozen stream doth break and flow, All nature doth rejoice. You say the world is sad today And naught but sorrow gives; But oh, the world is glad today, Glad that a Saviour lives. He guides the planets in their course He rules the sea, the land; The beast, the fowls and human kind Doth bow at his command. But oh, he is a Lord of love And equal love bestows And though a heart is bowed in grief He knows, our Saviour knows. We cannot always understand Nor dare essay to tell, But time will all elucidate And then we'll know 'twas well. And this new life doth symbolize A dead and risen Lord. It was a promise he should be Again to us restored. And He has promised us new life We to his promise cling. For his assurance is our hope. Of an Eternal Spring.

SAN DIEGO DEPARTMENT The Eagle Gold Contest The San Diego Gold Contest is still open for contestants, it has been continued until Saturday June 3rd.

Jonss, 5th Miss Theodora Lloyd, 6th Miss Marie Young, 7th Last Wednesday May 3rd Miss Katherine McClemon became the bride of Henry Campbell, a native of South Carolina, as the old saying in the F. L. T. is, when a brother dies, that it is our loss and heaven's gain, the young men of San Diego feel that it is our loss and Campbell's gain. Miss McClemon was liked in this city very much by both young and old; we all find her to be a loyal and Christian young lady. The bride appeared in white, with a very beautiful bouquet of flowers. The groom wore a rich black broad cloth suit. The wedding was performed at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. T Allen Harvey, Mrs. Garard Johnson was the bride's maid, and Walter Johnson was best man, after which a rich punch was served by B. Thomas, The Hornsby Bros. rendered a fine instrumental program and songs to suit the occasion and when the hosts were gone that was the time that the announcement was made to Miss McClemon that her name would hereafter be known by Mrs. H. Campbell. The Bethel A. M. E. is planning an army germatic rally which begins Wednesday May 10, ending the 1st Sunday in June.

We are also accepting volunteers. They are pledged to act for 4 weeks while in this rally, as though they have no wives and the wives have pledged to act as though they have no husbands. On Sunday afternoon May 7th. Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Goodwin entertained at dinner a number of their friends. Covers were laid for 12. The table was nicely decorated with sweet peas. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. S. Freeman, mr. and Mrs. G. S. Belt, mr. and Mrs. Johnson of Los Angeles, Rev. C. Williams of Imperial Valley, Mrs. C. Wright, misses Blanche and Addie B. Goodwin, mr. and Mrs. L. E. Goodwin. Every one enjoyed the afternoon as Mrs. L. E. Goodwin is a first class entertainer in all social lines.

U. gave an apron and necktie social last Thursday night at the residence of E. Mulholland, 353 So. 30th st. Every one enjoyed the evening. Bible games were played by the young people. mrs. Hulbert and Mrs. Busby of Los Angeles were in San Diego last week enroute to the mountains where they will spend a few weeks with Mrs. Hulbert's father. They were met at the boat last Thursday by Mrs. Davis and Mrs. L. Alexander. mrs. M. Davis who has been in San Diego about three weeks has enjoyed a very pleasant stay, and regrets she has to return to Los Angeles at this time. She has visited all places of interest and expects to be back again in July Mrs. R. Ryder is still in Coronado, it seems as if the people over there cannot get along handy without her. We would like to correct a mistake in last week's issue in regard to the relatives of Mrs. M. A. Smith and those of Mrs. M. Woodby. Mrs. martha Smith leaves to mourn her loss a daughter, Mrs. E. Freeman, a son William Johnson, a grandson Jarad Freeman and 2 grand children and 2 great grand sons. Mrs. Martha Woodby leaves a mother, father, husband, 3 childen, 3 brothers and 4 sisters. Mrs. J.

They are graduates of Western Univeriity. Kansas City. Rev. T. Allen Harvey who called at the Eagle office gave a short sketch of his coming contest. He said that every person should know what they are fitted for and follow it. Speaking of his contest he said the thing that we men should do is to wake up and let the women know their place in this coming event but the reporter of the Eagle informed him that the word of a woman's place in this world is long past over. That she has proven to be his equal and superior in many great events even though he is in charge of the men in the contest, the Eagle is very much impressed that the women will be crowned with victory when the war cry of battle is over. The Eagle is thanking its many new subscribers as well as the old subscribers who are sending in their remittances as hastily as their financial conditions will permit. We extend personal thanks to Mrs. C. C. McClellan of Coronado who came out to pay $2 on her account. If you do not get your paper phone main 1613 or Mrs. C. E. Nerwood main 2375 J. The Black and Tan Orchestra of Los Angeles made its first appearance in San Diego last Tuesday where they had a street parade and held a dane at Germania hall baring one incident as Mr. Curray said to the chief the trip was much a success. Many Los Angeles people accompanied them down. It seems as if the young smart set have overlooked a bet the Eagle had until a few days ago when he met one of the prettiest girls in San Diego. Miss Virge Messenger and her pleasant smiles and sweet tone of voice are so touching until we expect to hear of some heart broken mother's son soon. Mrs. B. Rease of National City called on her friend Mrs. R. Chapman last week. Mr. Chapman, the father of Rudy Chapman red cap at Santa Fe station is in the city visiting his son. He called on one of his old friends, M. T. Laws, who was very surprised to know that since he had seen him last he had lost the sight of both eyes. He held the run between Los Angeles and Denver on the California limited for many years. Knowledge is power. The wonderful Fiji seer is giving readings every day and evenings to vast crowds of people. It looks as if the people are going wild over this gentleman from the Fiji islands. You can notice the better class all listening to the remarks of theseer. He is so true that women go to his house to find out their little wants. You must see and hear him if you want to know thyself from this man of few words. M. T. LAWS, Business Manager John Solt who has been in the restaurant business at Tia Juana has sold out his interest across the line and is now a resident of our city. Every body this year is taking advantage of the big exposition in which they missed last year as they find that it is the greatest fair from an educational stand-point as well as sight-seeing. playing a few of the so-called college boys took pleasure in trying make it unpleasant for him by causing him reproachful names. Baker happens to be the right kind of fellow he paid no attention to the remarks and by so doing avoided trouble.

Toney, principal of the Vallejo Institute, a literary and industrial free school for negro children, closed a series of lectures Wednesday evening at the 2nd Baptist church on Brighton street, El Centro. He urged his people to avail themselves of the splendid opportunities offered them in the valley, save their money, buy land, build homes, and to educate their children to work with the hands along with the literary work; to be honpst and fair in all of their dealings and to so conduct themselves as to demand resect from all races. He commended the separate school for his people add lauded the white people for giving his race a chance to work out their owd salvation here in the valley. He said that all other races are proud of their own race, loved the association of their own race, and that the negroes should do likewise. There are over 80,000 negroes, he said, in California, and he hoped the day would soon come when separate schools would be provided for his people in all communities where there are a sufficient number of negro children. He thanked the press for mentioning visit and his people for their cordial reception. Several students from El Centro have been enrolled for his school for next term. OUR ATHETICS By Hilbert L. Rozie We never had any reason to believe "Rube" Foster doesn't know much about ball players until he sent Washington and Woods home. Woods says that Rube told them their arms needed a rest but we are inclined to believe he was a little bit out of form when he said this. When "Blue" Washington was pitching at Seal Garden last Sunday he crossed Baker, his catcher up. Baker side-stepped and the ball went all the way to the grandstand before striking the ground. The grandstand is 90 feet back of the home plate. Does not look much like a sore arm does it? Yes, our Y. M. C. A. boys are getting quite hard-boiled, that is to say they have defied the law—but wait and let me explain. The "Y" baseball team has 'cold turkey' chosen the L. A. police to a game of American pastime. The dignified cops have accepetd and the game will take place next Saturday at 36th and Western. Capt. Greene is anxious to go through the long season without defeat) and a good battle is expected. We would think College boys would be above ridiculing an athlete because of his color, but it is not so at Pomona. Julius Baker, while catching for Manual against Pomona seemed to be the center of attraction rather than the ball game. Chagrined at Baker's great playing a few of the so-called college boys took pleasure in trying to make it unpleasant for him by calling him reproachful names. As Baker happens to be the right kind of fellow he paid no attention to the remarks and by so doing avoided trouble. For the first time in years our race has been represented on athletic teams in every High school in the city. These are the men who receive letters: Elroy Lott of Poly receives a track letter as a high jumper; Wm. Pillows of Los Angeles merited a letter as a spinner and Clarence Bluett of Manual Arts gets one as a shot-putter. Julius Baker also of Manual gets a baseball letter. Are we progressing? Well, I guess we are. NOTICE TO CREDITORS No.32050 Estate of Mollie Haley, deceased. Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned T. A.

The Woman's Missionary Society presented Mrs. T. Oldfield with a beautiful hand painted plate as a token of respect. She left for her home on the 9th inst. Large crowds were present for the Holy Communion Sunday. The services were unusually inspiring. Pastor Kinchen preached at both services. The No-Note choir ueer dero Bro. Jaines Brown had one of the best meetings it has ever conducted at 3 p. m. The audience was not quite as large as the former gatherings but the spiritual fervor was the highest that has been witnessed. The congregation is still rejoicing over the splendid rally just closed.

E. church, who is conducting the greatest revival ever held in Pasadena, Cal., among the colored people. Some of the hardest sinners have been brought to Christ this week. Dr. Moten goes to Riverside Monday to begin a series of meetings there. Sunday was a high day in zion in our church, many new faces were seen in the congregation, the pastor was at his best. 8 new members have joined the church since the great meeting Easter, where more than 175 people worshiped at 4 o'clock in the morning. The pastor went to Pasadena Sunday evening where he is conducting a revival for Dr. Dyatt at the A.M.E. church.

A great treat awaits all who may attend. Whereas the Great and Supreme Ruler of the Universe has in His infinite wisdom suffered to be removed from this field of action and preparation, our loving and devoted pastor, D.L. McMickens; whereas we deeply sympathize with the congregation and many friends of the deceased in this hour of affliction ana whereas there is great sorrow in the E. 8th st. Christian church, occasioned by the loss of so worthy a man. Be it resolved that we, the Young People's Society of Christian Frideavor and the Silver Star Bible Class of which he was a member, express our heart felt sympathy with the hope and prayer that even so great a sorrow to us all, may be ever ruled for good by Him who doth all things well. Be it resolved that we commend all to God for comfort and strength, believing that He alone is able and willing to uphold and sustain by the right hand of His power, and we take courage with the breaved in the belief that "behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face." Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the records of the church and published in the local newspapers of this city. First—Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God to remove from our midst our beloved pastor. Rev. D. L. McMickens and whereas it is meet and right that we should give public expression to our loss as well as to our estimate of his life and character. Therefore be it resolved, First—That in this, the death of our beloved brother w the officers and members of the 8th st. Christian church and Sunday school have suffered an irreparable loss, and he our departed brother has, by his Godly life, and Christian example erected in the hearts which he leaves behind a monument more beautiful than sculpture marble or granite shaft. Seond—That we the cause of Christ in a world have lost a faithful, consistent minister and humanity at large, a kind and helpful friend. Third—That we who for the past 4 years and ten months have listened to his teachings and moral persuasions dedicate our lives anew to the service of the Lord and will endeavor to emulate his noble example. Fourth—That were I to stand here for an hour words would fail me to express the depth of grief we feel for our lost one or the height of esteem in which we held him. Fifth--That a copy of these resolutions be inserted on record and offered for publication in the Gospel Plea of Edwards, Miss., and the local papers of this city. OAKLAND JOTTINGS By "Jakie" Peyton Edward Flowers, who was accidently shot about a month ago; as a result of the shooting, has lost the use of his right arm. Edward Wilcox, private car cook is again a proud father, this time an 8 1-2 lb. son. Mother and son are reported as doing nicely. Frank Derrick of Chicago, uncle of Mrs. J. Peyton was a visitor in our city last week. Last Sunday was an unusual day for Fifteenth Street church. There was no special sermon preached, but the entire service seems to have been a spiritual shower for all present, and out of the intense spiritual awakening there were four accesions to the church April 30th under the direction of Mrs. J. Peyton assisted by the club women of the city a most interesting literary program was rendered by 14 children. Each and every one a star. The affair was profitable. NOTED OAKLAND JOCKEY DIES Jockey A. Thomas, a little mite of a colored lad, who won the hearts and plaudits of the Emeryville crowds in the closing days of the turf sport in California, is dead. His mother and family in Oakland received word last week that the lad passed away in Russia from pneumonia that was contracted while galloping horses. For the last three years Thomas has been riding for Count Mantascha, a nobleman, on the tracks of Russia and has been successful in ranking with the leading riders. He first came into prominence at the Emeryville track in 1910. The race course was located near his home across the bay and before and after school he made a practice of exercising horses. He was a bright and well-mannered youngster and soon showed promise in the saddle. A. Thomas was one of the leading pilots on the transbay course along about 1911, when he was under contract to George H. Strate, who has a string of George Wingfield's horses in the east. He was able to do 90 pounds easy, and his rides on Bit of Fortune, Banorella, Redeem and other consistent selling platers gained him quite a following. When the game closed down here Thomas went east with the Keene Brothers and sported the silks of Senator J. N. Camden, chairman of the Kentucky State Racing Commission and a prominent horse breeder. Soon afterwards he received an offer to invade Russia and accepted it. Thomas was only 21 at the time of his death. He was a student and had learned to speak the Russian and French language fluently. The little colored lad was an example for many jockeys, and his passing will be regretted by hundreds of local race goers — Fred Purner in the San Francisco. Page Throt A POEM ON FARMING By Francis A. Chandler, 8 yrs. old. I am going to a farm far away You bet I am going where the farmers make hay. And where some men are sowing My sister and I am going to a farm, And I am going to do the sowing While my sister helps make hay. The whole family is going too My father is going to do the milking, And every morning the rooster calls, Coco, doodle do; After breakfast my mother does the silkinking. My sister feeds the pigs, And I feed the chickens, And I dance some jigs when I get hard lickings. I go horse back riding every day, And going down shady streets My sister is very gay, With her doll so sweet. Mother hen with her brood Goes marching in the yard; And papa chops the kindling wood On the ground that is very hard. I like to play baseball And run in a race. And come in at my mother's call And go and wash my face. I like to play tag, And play soldier with a gun; I like to hold the American flag, And we have lots of fun. On the farm we do not go to school, Nor do we have spelling Nor do I like to jump in the pool, Nor do I like to hear the yelling. I do not like to go to school, But I like to go swimming. In a little pool, And sometimes go a fishing Tabernacle Church Last Sunday was a great day at Tabernacle. The Covenant meeting was well attended and was one of the greatest meetings of its kind ever held in the church. Sunday evening was communion and never was there a more beautiful occasion. The Deaconess Board has been struggling to make the necessary improvements to correspond with the intelligence of the age, and so they have more than succeeded thus f r. Before communion Rev. J. D. Gordon delivered an eloquent sermon suited for the occasion and was enjoyed immensely by all. PROVIDENCE INSTITUTIONAL BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Crocker and Agatha Sis. Last Sunday the services were a great success all day. Rev. Prowd pastor of 2nd Baptist church preached a glorious sermon in the afternoon. All the clubs are at work again and having great success. Amount taken in from the rally is $75. We wish to thank our many friends for their support. Rev. Reed will preach next Sunday. Sex the Key to the Bible "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible by Sidney Dudley and the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are astonishing. Intellect staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book. Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas present in the Bible will never die."—Proof, J. Silas Harris, A. M. "Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to empty our jails, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has had an impact on the world. Our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the human. He has indexed 100 ideas of the great good in every home and library in the civilized world. SIDNEY C. TAPP Box 710 Kansas City; Mo. The California Eagle 1879 1915 J. R. Reynolds THE ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE NEGRO IN CALIFORNIA In the South the great majority of the people who work nearly entirely with their hands are members of this race. Consequently this section of the Country, the South, offers agricultural pursuits of a class, cotton and cane, as the chief field of his labor exploitation. Notwithstanding the South's dependence on the Negro's labor, the franchise rights of the Negro in the South are denied him, and he remains the tenant rather than the owner of the soil whose productiveness he makes. California has offered the Negro of the South unusual opportunity to show his adaptability for changed economic conditions; hitherto common labor and skilled labor has been in the hands of members of the white race and the Mexican and Latin races. The ambition of the whites has been to become the owners of theland to the exclusion of all others. The great masses of our race coming to this State have fallen victims to the lure of the cities where they find more strenuous competition, and conditions entirely different to those that sprang from a different environment. Menial labor which in the cities of the South is the selected work of the Negro, finds here a preference shown for alien labor. The hublest walks of life are fast being pre-empted by Italians and Greeks, such as bootblack stands, while the Japanese has for years been favored as porters. Alone, in but a single division of common labor, the Negro appears to hold his own, and that is in the railroad division, as train and Pullman and Dining car porters. The hotels and other places of public entertainment are all but entirely out of the reach of Negroes. Where much of these conditions are due to race prejudice, much is also do to the lack of enterprise and daring of the Negro himself. Experience has taught us there ar ein California, unlike in the South, strictly speaking, NO NEGRO JOBS. The whole field of labor must be exploited by him here. And he must come to this field with not only his natural adaptability, but also with his skilled ability. There are sections of this State where classes of agricultural pursuits can be better engaged in by the Negro, than the South has offered him. The "get-back to the soil" movement should appeal strongly to the large number of the race who live in the foreign atmosphere of California cities, at such a great disadvantage. The All-American League was organized for the purpose of not only safe-guarding Constitutional rights, but to open up channels of exploitation that are new to the Colored folk. Its officials are now engaged on actual propositions that will give the Negroes of this State opportunities never before opened to them. Conditions are growing worse for all in all competitive field of wealth producing, and it is the purpose of the League to ease these harsh conditions for the race. The All-American League has the solution of race troubles that so appeals to the better judgment of the dominant interests of this Country that failure is impossible from any angle. The negotiations now in hand will be made known through the columns of the California Eagle in the very near future. WHAT PROMISES TO BE AN UNUSUAL EVENT Sunday evening at the First A. M. E. church Mrs. J. Logan Craw, wife of pastor Craw, who is attending the general conference of the A. M. E. church now in session at Philadelphia, will occupy the pulpit in her first sermonette in this city, Sunday evening at the First A. M. E. church. Mrs. Craw has made good in her every effort in our midst and even more is expected upon this occasion. Mrs. Lee A. Johnson rented a house last Friday at 1318 E. 16th St. and moved in on Saturday. She had not more than gotten in when some of the neighbors learned that their new neighbor was colored and demanded that she be put out. The landlord obeyed orders and in no apologetic manner ordered Mrs. Johnson to make a hasty exit, but she refused, and went in on Monday to take up permanent residence, but was again ordered out and again refused. About five o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Johnson, however, went to the store on the corner. Almost immediately the owner entered the house and threw her furniture, etc., out on the lawn. The colored residents in the vicinity say that they will aid Mrs. Johnson in getting justice in this case.

ADVERTISING RATES, 50c per inch THE CALIFORNIA ZAGLE ONE OF THE STRONGEST LEGAL MINDS IN THE ENTIRE WESTERN COUNTRY Of all the disciples of Blackstone in the entire western country there are none that for depth of though, research and real knowledge of the law, that have gained greater respect from the judges in this section than Chas. S. Darden. He delves deep into the intricacies of his profession and always brings forth the law in its true form without the beating of drums and crashing of cymbals. He has won some notable victories right here in this city; he has established property rights for all citizens by law; he has won numerous civil suits upholding the constitutional rights of our people. In a recent case of Williams vs. R. H. Hite he brought forth law that compelled judges of the Superior Court to back up on their expressed opinion and for one time Mr. Rufus Hite was taken unawares and had to pay a bill. In this case he was assisted by Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth and in the face of all, sorts of predictions they won for their client, and took all unawares by execution against the bonds in the hands of the city treasurer, but Darden it was who showed the court that the money could be This case was one which reflected no particular credit upon Mr. Rufus Hite, who when his place was on the wane and when he was booking a daily loss, he procured the service of Mr. Virgil Williams who is recognized as one of the greatest caterers in the country, and with him formed a working partnership agreement. Williams' management changed the business from a losing one to a paying proposition in a very short time. Mr. Hite in an exuberance of gratitude for Williams' astuteness, proceeded to kick him out, hence the suit and the judgment. It seems that the boss man of this place of business makes a specialty of evading payment of just obligations and to us it is an enigma that the police commission which grants licenses, will allow such men to hold permits to do a public business. A ROYAL FEAST On last Sunday at Santa Barbara the editor in company with B. J. Hooper, Rev. Evans and Mr. Virgil Williams, was the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Thomas at their beautiful home on Gray Avenue, asd we want it to be known that with an experience of many years and enjoying many hospitalities, we have never been the recipient of a greater feast than on this occasion. Everything was just as the very best expert of the cuisine art could put up and it seemed as though the inner man was satisfied for a week to come. It is said B. J. Hooper did not eat any more for three days. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are among the progressive and prosperous citizens of Santa Barbara. The Tom Miller murder trial is progressing slowly. The town is filled with witnesses from Los Angeles and other points. Attorney Ceruti returned to the city Wednesday after a visit to his office in Los Angeles. Mr. E. Hester is very despondent as there seems to be nothing that he can beat the Los Angeles bunch doing. Mrs. W. J. Thomas of Gray St. is contemplating an extended trip to her old home in Texas this month. Rev. Evans is temporarily filling the pulpit at Mt. Olivet Baptist church. Editor J. B. Bass will speak at the A. M. E. church Sunday ev- ening, subject, "The Three Cardinal Principles." Mr. W. J. Nelson of San Francisco is a visitor in the city attending the Miller trial as a witness. The Smart Set are talking of giving a ball in honor of the visitors early next week. A beach party was held on last Sunday by our local young folks, headed by Miss Geraldine Thomas, Mrs. Sims and their guests. The same was complimentary to the guests, Mr. Virgil Williams, J. B. Tanner of Los Angeles and Chas. Jackson of Chicago. The following Misses were present: Williamson, Ingraham, Roberts, Baskett, Simpson and Phoney; Messrs. Sims, Thomas, Hopkins, Jimmy Merritt, Adams, W. Simpson and others. levied on. All American League Continued From Page 1 through its President was able some few days ago to convince these employers of agricultural labor that it would be far more patriotic and by all odds the wiser plan to give an opportunity of employment to 200 loyal Colored American citizens than to throw the resources of such employment to men who were not citizens of the United States. Accordingly these employers a few days ago wrote a letter to the President of the All-American League informing him that positions for 200 experienced Colored cotton choppers in the Imperial Valley are now open. All Colored citizens desiring any of these 200 positions should immediately get in touch with the Corresponding Secretary of the All American League, Mr. G. P. Brown, care of Eagle Office, 814 Central Avenue. The Missen Dangerfield of Bakersfield and Miss Vassie Davis of Denver were pleasant visitors to the Eagle office this week. The funeral of the late Rev. D. L. McMickens was held from the Broadway Christian Church Monday May 8th. The members of the church deserve great credit for the beautiful burial given their pastor, and both members and friends joined in bedecking the last resting place with many beautiful floral offerings. Smith & Williams were in charge and did credit to them, selves as professionals along their line. We print White Ribbon Beer Served With or Without Meals The BEST Cabaret Entertainmen WM.

Major Tompkins and his troops appear to have been invited to "walk into my parlor" by General Lozano, the military commander of that town. The presence of the American soldiers so inflamed the natives both troops and civilians, that they opened fire. About 800 Carranza troops are reported as haviag joined in the attack. Major Tompkins ordered a retreat which seems to have been conducted in orderly fashion with the Carranza troops in hot pursuit. This retreat continued for eight miles beyond Parral, and in the direction of Santa Cruz. Just at this critical juncture, when Major Tompkins and his men seemed to be sandwiched between the soldiers of Parral and the citizens of Santa Cruz, Major Charles Young and a squadron of the gallant Tenth cavalry came to his rescue after a quick forced march of eight miles. As soon as the black Major and his black followers got into action the Mexicans dispersed and vanished into thin air, leaving 40 of their number dead, while not one member of the Tenth was lost; General Pershing reported two of the 13th cavalry killed, six wounded and one missing, with Major Tompkins slightly wounded. This is the second time that the Tenth cavalry have been in engagements in Mexico, where the fatalities were large among the Mexicans without a single man being lost among the black troopers. We hope the President of the United States will make a note of this fact. He has separated every prominent colored official from the service of the government because their presence was unwelcome to the Southern Democratic employees of the government. If he will be good enough to communicate with Major Tompkins he will discover that there are occasions on which the presence of black men in the service of their country is not unwelcome to Southern white men. Major Tompkins was born in the District of Columbia. Major Charles Young comes from Ohio. While the one is white and the other black, we are confident that Major Tompkins and his men were as happy to see these black faces at Santa Cruz last Wednesday as Professor Woodrow Wilson was when he received the account of his nomination by the Baltimore convention. When will our presidents and mayors learn that worth and not birth is the true test of patriotic American citizenship? Mrs. M. A. Briggs, a lady of great wealth, who has lived in California for over 45 years and whose son-in-law is Dr. Granville MacGowen, the great specialist, left on the Shore Line Limited last Thursday for her palatial home at 3734 West Adams st. Both Mrs. Briggs and her son-in-law make their home in Los Angeles. Mrs. Briggs was accompanied by her maid, Miss Maud Lawson, enroute to San Francisco, where they will stop at the Palace hotel. While Mrs. Briggs is quite an elderly lady, she is most pleasing and sociable. She spent her time on the train in reading when she was not talking to her maid and traveling companion, Miss Lawson, who is quite comely and very entertaining. They travel together stopping at the best hotels and pleasure resorts, occupying the same apartments and eating at the same table. In fact they are inseparable—a position, I dare say, could not be duplicated by any other colored servant in this country. Young women are being educated to hold independent positions and make their own living. They do not have to marry a man just to secure a meal ticket and they are getting wise to the fact that some of the conceited of the male persuasion are angling for that same provision. They are not attracted by the walking "fashion plates" or flattering compliments. Miss Lawson demonstrated her sense of justice and what was due her by bringing suit and winning out against the Ralph Grocery Co for discriminating against serving her in a public place. Big Social Event May 17th Most prominent on social calendar for the month of May is Alpha Tennis Club's Second Annual Shirt Waist Hop, which will be given at Blanchard hall on Wednesday, May 17th. The Alphas are sparing no pains to make this event compare favorably with their first annual hop, which was the most enjoyable affair of last season. The popular Black and Tan Orchestra will furnish the music. Admission will be 50 cents by card only. Required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912.

The funeral services were held at the Tabernacle Baptist church Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The obituary read by Mrs. S. B. Strickland was sweet and flowery sermon within itself. As the deceased had preached her own sermon by the beautiful life she lived while on earth. Pretty solos and duets were rendered by members of the choir and friends. Rev. J. D. Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle church who preached the funeral took for his text the following, "When I die let me die the death of the Righteousness. Let my last days be like His." The beauty of the text and life of Mrs. Kimbrough were well blended by Rev. Gordon. A number of the city pastors had messages of sympathy from their churches and several friends of the family had a few words to say. Mrs. Kimbrough leaves to mourn her loss a husband, a mother, Mrs. Bell, a daughter, Mrs. Annie Lewis and a son, Jesse Kimbrough and a host of friends.
