The Coming of Dr. C. T. Walker Great Religious Revival for Entire West. PROF. GEO. H CARR (WHITE) WHO IS CHARGED WITH STATUTORY RAPE BY YOUNG 14 YEAR OLD COLORED GIRL. NOTWITHSTANDING THE GRAVITY OF CHARGE IS OUT ON THE STREETS ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT BOND. WHO IS TO BLAME? OUR PEOPLE MUST WAKE UP FOR PROTECTION OF HOME AND WOMANHOOD. A grizzly, silver haired white vocal music teacher by the name of Prof. Geo. H. Carr, who is well known in this city in both white and Colored circles; if the allegations of a fourteen-year-old Colored girl are true, is branded as one of the greatest impositions ever put off on any people. He has specialized in gaining for his pupils our Colored youth, he has ingratiated himself into the confidence of the Colored citizens, appearing on their programs; he has even been entertained at dinners and luncheons at their homes. Now that he has been accused of a statutory offence by the youthful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Albritton, who are among the most respected citizens of this community, the people have held their breath and only speak of the affair in utter disgust, that if true that this wolf in sheep's clothing should have been stalking abroad in this community and picking for his prey the youth of our race. With his thousands of years of civilization he has vulturelike to appease his beastly passion picked for his victim a girl of 14 years of age, but the truth seems to at last be revealed and exposure unhorsed before he has had the opportunity of ruining more homes. The Following is the Story. Of the girl, whom this Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde has misused since November last. "On one occasion when my mother sent me, in company with my younger sister to Mr. Carr's place, he called me aside and whispered thta if I would come to his office the next afternoon at a stated time he would have something nice for me." Ques. "Did you have any idea what he wanted?" "No," was the innocent reply. Ques. "Did you go?" "Yes." Ques. "When you were there what happened?" "He took me in a room o fffrom his office, gave me candy and 25 cents, kissed and caressed me, and fixed the date of next Wednesday when I should come again, charging me all the while not to tell my parents or relations." Ques. "Have you ever visited his office since that time?" "Yes, every Wednesday on my way from school, when I thought my whereabouts would not be detected by my parents." "From that time until about four weeks ago when my mother detected that I had been out and retained over time and investigated my behavior and whereabouts on previous occasions." The California Eagle "I am sorry I deceived my mother. I have a loving, kind mother and my home training and the atmosphere of my home has always been all that a girl could desire. I never would have yielded to Mr. Carr but I did not think that there was any harm in what he said and did because he said there was not." This is her story, all of it that we can with decency write. The horrible details, of course, are omitted. But a crime has been committed. The 14-year-old girl says that Prof. Carr is the man who is guilty of the crime. Notwithstanding these facts and the fact that he has been arrested and arraigned, he is boldly walking the streets, released by somebody, who we have been unable to learn, ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT ANY BOND, on his own recognition. The Eagle rises to ask what is the trouble? And to acquaint the public with what's going on. We ask that in the name of justice, the commonest of decency, that the man Carr be treated in the same manner as any other man charged with crime; that he be put under bond the same as any other man charged with crime. Were the parties to this affair reversed, Carr a black man, the girl a white girl, a mob would be howling for his life. But this man goes on the street without any restraint. We take it as a damnable outrage, and whoever is responsible for it should be held responsible. It is time that the NEGROES of Los Angeles wake up, the apologizing leadership must be no longer. If we fail to protect society by the failure to prosecute such vampires as this, we fall far short of oqr duties as citizens. All citizens, all races, all creeds are with us for justice. The purity of our womanhood must be protected. It looks to us like there is some agency at work to defeat the ends of justice in this case. The people must be on the alert to see that justice prevails. The case will be called today at 9:30 o'clock in Judge Summerfield's court. MRS. C. SAFFOLD AND MRS. MARIE BOWEN ENTERTAIN WITH WHIST PARTY. Last Friday afternoon at their pretty home on Burlington ave., Mrs. Saffold and Mrs. Bowen entertained some out of town friends with a very prettily appointed whist party. The home was prettily decorated and four tables for whist were laid. Among the out of town guests present were Miss Alma Baynord, Mrs. H. Riddle of St. Louis and Mrs. J. M. Edwards, and about thirty city guests present. Four prizes were offered, three for the best players and the booby won by the hostess, Mrs. M. Bowen. Mrs. Riddle was winner of the first prize for meritorious playing, Mrs. A. Watkins, the second, and Mrs. Geo. Sherman the third. The prizes were, 1st, hand embroidered table cover, 2nd, hand embroidered breakfast cap, 3rd, breakfast set, and 4th, picture of little Colored baby. A very enjoyable season was DR. C. T. WALKER, "The Black Spurgeon." 1. The image contains a black background with no visible text or graphics. COUNTRY THROBS WITH INTEREST FOR COMING OF GREAT CHAUTAUQUA PROMOTED BY PROVIDENCE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH AND PASTOR. It is predicted that the Colored population of this thriving Western country will receive, not only the great spiritual awakening but likewise the greatest educational training in so short a period out of the visit of Drs. Ford and Walker yet enjoyed by them. So wide is the fame of Dr. Walker, as the most eloquent preacher of the age, that already persons who have heard him in the East, as well as those who have never heard this black Spurgeon, are beginning to secure seats for the occasion at the big auditorium at 15th and Central. The prices have been cut and put in reach of every one. Tickets, regular, 15c; reserved seats, 25c; season tickets, $1.00. The great chorus of many hundred voices under the direction of Rev. J. T. Hill will furnish music for the Chautauqua. "The Black Spergeon." color. Mayor Sebastian was orator on this occasion, his remarks were limited, but to the point and in them he paved the way for his secretary, Rev. McWilliams, who in eloquent terms pleaded for a universal spirit of brotherhood. Dr. McWilliams declared that the color of a man's skin did not limit his capacity for higher education etc., etc. There were several representatives from the White Cross Society, among whom were Dr. and Mrs. McNeal. It is understood that the presence of these good people is always felt and deeply appreciated by their host of friends. Dr. and Mrs. McNeal are the head of the White Cross Society, one of the greatest organizations of this country, and the only one that has opened wide its doors to the Colored American. But recently Dr. C. H. Duvall and wife have been placed at the head of the Colored department in this section, which positions they are amply prepared, out of their big experience to fill. FATHER CLAUSE. Since the United States Supreme Court, on June 21, defeated the "grandfather" clause, much speculation has been entertained as to the possible effects of the decision. "Grandfather" Clause. Briefly stated, the "grandfather" clause meant that the Negro could not register or vote unless his ancestor could vote prior to a specified date, which was generally fixed at the year 1866. Such ancestor was the grandfather of the new Negro voter of today; hence the term "grandfather," as applied to this law. This "grandfather" provision is expressed in various ways in several Southern states. Oklahoma's Clause. The Oklahoma constitution expresses the "grandfather" clause as follows: "No person shall be registered as an elector of this state or be allowed to vote in any election herein unless he shall be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the state of Oklahoma; but no person who was on January 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto entitled to vote under any form of government or who at any time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to so read and write sections of such constitution." In the 1910 election, two Negroes in Oklahoma were prevented from voting. The election officers enforcing the law were prosecuted and convicted. After several appeals, the cases finally reached the United States Supreme Court, where, for the first time, that court squarely met the issues and decided the entire law above quoted, was unconstitutional. Various Maryland cities adopted the "grandfather" clause regarding municipal elections. Such a provision was enforced in the city of Annapolis, and authorized the registration, as voters, of all taxpayers of the city, whose property was assessed at not less than $500; all naturalized citizens; all male children of naturalized citizens twenty-one years of age, and "all citizens who prior to January 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland or any other states of the United States at a state election." Under this law, two registrars of voters, at Annapolis refused to register two Negroes, on the ground that they could not qualify under the ancestor provision of the law. The Negroes sued, and the case finally reached the United States Supreme Court, where, along with the Oklahoma cases, the court decided the "grandfather" clause was unconstitutional. to deny the registration; for it is for the registrar to declare when he has been satisfied with the prospective voter's interpretation of the constitution. Most people cannot given even reasonable interpretations of some parts of state or federal constitutions. In fact, the lawyers and judges daily clash, in court, as to the proper interpretations of many constitutional provisions. Other educational qualifications are demanded by some constitutions. Effect of Decision. While the effect of the late decision defeating the "grandfather" clause will be far-reaching, yet this effect will not enfranchise the Southern voters appreciably, until they qualify under the other provisions and enforce a fair treatment at the hands of the registration officials. However, the "grandfather" clause was the only insurmountable obstacle in the way of franchise; most of the other requirements of the law could be satisfied if the proper forces were brought to bear in compelling the registrars to give the prospective voter due credit for his merits as to ability to read, write and interpret the constitution. TO BE HEARD AT WESLEY CHAPEL MONDAY NIGHT. These are days of good cheer for the Colored people of Los Angeles. The great Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco is attracting to California a large number of the most representative and distinguished of our people to the Pacific Coast. These people are coming from the great centers of the eastern states and it is our good fortune that Los Angeles proves of as much interest to them as San Francisco.

Watch for further announcements at the church services. Rev. S. E. Edwards of Los Angeles presched at the A. M. E. church Sunday, and attorney J. H. Kelly spoke in the evening under the auspices of the brotherhood memorial of the late Bishop H. M. Turner, and those that heard him say that it was one of the greatest addresses that has been delivered at that church in a long time. Mr. Dan. H. Boykin will leave for San Francisco next week. Mrs. W. H. Hieks, Mrs. W. Y. Raecom, Mrs. C. F. Curry and Mrs. Henry Hammonds left tuesday for Oakland, where they will attend the district grand lodge in that city, and after the session is over they will go to San Francisco and visit the fair.

He giveth and He taketh, and blessed is His name. Attorney H.E. McBeth addressed the brotherhood at Scott chapel sunday evening to a large congregation and the church looked like a flower garden. He was accompanied by Mrs. MacBeth and her mother, Mrs. Dr. E. H. Mayers and a sister of hers, Mrs. Dr. S. LeCount Cook. They lunched at Rev. L. G. Robinson's, on West Stavenson avenue, and those who did not hear this address missed a great and instructive discourse: he does not use a manuscript for he has it in his head and heart. The brotherhood did a great thing when they secured him to address them. Much is due to the effort of Rev. L. G. Robinson, so watch this paper and see when he and Rev. W. W. Lucas will come again. Neither one of them uses manuscript. We want you to hear Dr. McMillin and Dr. Wragg. When they come they will be at Scott chapel.

Oh, maid of sable hue! The world has much for you to do; Step firmer when you feel alone, With head erect and stiff backbone, Stay in the march of rapid stride And know He's ever at your side. Too sensitive ah, do not be, Ignore half what you really see; The blight, the norn you may receive Is not from noble hearts, believe the altruism in your heart In there for you to act your part. Go on and up, and in your flight Strive to reach the dizzy height, But when you think the goal you've won Know you, your school has just begun Yet in your march, where e' you be, You're not alone though seemingly.

By R. W. Shufeldt, M. D. Illustrated. Philadelphia, F. A. Davis Company. $2.50. The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861. By Carter Du Bois Woodson, Ph. D. New York. G. P. Putnam's Sons. $2.00. The Negro. By W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Ph. D. Home University Library. New York Henry Holt & Co. 50 cents. Of these three books on the Negro Dr. Shufeldt's is the least satisfactory, but it shall be discussed first because the others refute some of its sensational statements. It has the merit of sincerity, and it is not without substance, but its violence and prejudice destroy its value. The defect of its judgments is seen in statements such as this: "Men like Booker T. Washington and W. E. B, Du Bois are traitors to their race in this country, and are the worst enemies the Negroes in the United States have today." According to this author the full-bloded negro in this country has never "contributed a single line to literature worth the printing; a single cog in the machine of invention; an idea to any science, or, in short, advanced civilization a single millimeter since the first Congo pair was placed on this soil." A large portion of the book is devoted to trying to prove scientifically that all Negroes come of cannibal stock, that they are hopelessly sensual, subject to "sex madness," and incapable of improvement. "It is impossible to improve the morals of a people when they have no morals to improve" is one of his comments. Burke once said that one cannot indict a whole nation, but Dr. Shufeldt would indict a whole race. The deplorable situation in parts of the South, of course, with the daily terror that it imposes on white women, is discussed at length. The problem is there, and grave enough it is, but it requires a different treatment from that given it by an author who can see nothing but a "seething mass of black bestiality." Dr. Shufeldt asserts that miscegenation is going on in our cities through the lower-class whites, and he jumps at the conclusion that because there is some white blood in 4,000,000 of the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States the whole Negro population is going to be absorbed into the white race to our lasting degradation. Our only salvation, he believes, is in "complete and thorough separation" of the two races, and he therefore urges, "the enactment of a Federal law to the effect that all Negroes and descendants of Negroes within the boundaries of the United States of America shall leave this country for all time within ten years after the passage of said law." Dr. Shufeldt would send them to the Philippines, South America, Mexico, the West Indies and Haiti, and he says we could well afford to spend $150,000,000 on the work. He thinks such a law would "entail no hardship whatever," but he would hardly take the same view if the people to be expatriated were white. The book is so intemperate and unjust that it defeats its own ends. This book recalls the hard-forgotten fact that in the beginning the Negro slaves were taught to read and write as freely as they were taught Christianity. That epoch continued until about 1835, and it produced some brainy persons oi color, such as Payllis Wheatley, the poet, and Benjamin Banneker, who, in 1770, made the first clock manufactured in the United States. Another instance is that of James Durham, who spoke French and Spanish fluently, as well as English, and was a distinguished New Orleans physician. The noted Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia once deigned to converse with him professionally and afterward confessed: "I learned more from him than he could expect from me." Dr. Woodson also tells of a native African who had amazing powers as a mathematician. Many such instances controvert Dr. Shufeldt's swerving negatives. About 1835, however, the dark age set in, when it became a crime for a Negro to teach his own children to read and write. The coming of the cotton gin and other modern machinery, coupled with an increasing fear of Negro insurrections, caused the slave barons to enact stringent laws for bidding the education of Negroes. Dr. Woodson's chapter on "The Reaction" sounds almost incredible, but it is well-authenticated American history.

Boost and trade with your own people and in that way better your own selves The policy of keeping the slaves in complete ignorance soon had a deteriorating effect on their minds and characters, and the more thoughtful whites tried to overcome this by teaching them "religion without letters," but even such enlightenment often brought persecution to the teachers. A chapter entitled "Learning in Spite of Oppositions" tells of secret struggles to overcome these obstacles—with pathetically meagre results. The thirteen chapters of this book cover all the main phases of ante-bellum attempts at Negro education in the North as well as in the South. It is a thorough and intelligent study, with just enough sympathetic spirit to humanize its array of well-ordered facts. J. D. REYNOLDS. A. H. WRIGHT YOUNG’S,.

To the Unions of the Baptist Young Peoples' Union Concention of Southern California. Greetings: The unerring hand of a Most Holy Father has brought us upon the threshold of another session of our Convention and it is my pleasure to state that the sessions will be held at New Hope Baptist church, San Bernardino, Cal., on July 6 and 7, 1916. These are to be epoch making sessions for more than one reason and one of the paramount features will be the daily lectures to the Convention by Rev. G. W. Reed, who has won for himself an enviable reputation as a specialist in young peoples religious work. Bear in mind that our Convention Constitution allows one delegate for each twenty members or fraction thereof; and each delegate will be charged at the rate of fifteen cents per meal while at the Convention. The latter is a new law enacted at our Pasadena session in 1915. The Santa Fe Railroad has AT THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday was a big day at the Second Baptist church, Rev. Mr. J. L. Allen, president of the State Convention, preached an excellent sermon, he taking for his text "The Sermon on the Mount," and as he repeated the great sermon that Jesus himself preached, he stirred the hearts of all his hearers so much that many amens were heard. He did not fail to impress upon his hearers the importance of being contented in whatever lot they found themselves, if earnestly engaged in the work of the Master. At the close of his splendid sermon Rev: H. D. Prowd, pastor of the church, made an earnest plea to the unsaved, as well as to those who were Christians and have no church home, and as a result of the great sermon that was delivered, and the earnest plea made by Dr. Prowd added nine souls to the church, three of which were converted during the services. In the Afternoon At 3.00 p.m. the church together with a number of friends, and all the leading ministers of the city, assembled for the purpose of conferring the honor of Ordination into the Gospel Ministry, upon Bro. John H. Eldridge, a licensed minister, and a member of the Second Baptist church, the services were indeed impressive, the program being as follows: 1. Procesional ..... Choir 2. Invocation. Rev. J. D. Gor 2. Invocation ..... Rev. J. D. Gordon PAGE EIGHT granted us a rate of one and one third fare provided we can show fifty certificates, therefore when purchasing your ticket for San Bernardino all delegates and friends traveling from all points and on all railroads are asked to be sure and secure a certificate from your agent with your ticket and present the certificate to the Secretary at the Convention. Do not forget that the per capita of ten cents per member is also due at the Convention. All Unions that have not paid one-half of same to the Executive Board will pay in full at the Convention and those that have made one-half settlement will pay the balance due. Asking the Masters benediction upon you as a Union, and asking that you pray fervently that this may be a session in which great things will be done for the uplift of the Kingdom of God. We are yours for the Cause, B. Y. P. U. Convention of So. California. S. P. Johnson, President. J. Allen Reese, Cor. Secretary. 3. The Lord's Prayer..... Church Choir 4. Lesson. Rev. W. H. Rosier 6.

It is strictly American in idea and ideal and fundamentally it knows no clique with any intention other than that of affiliating with men and issues that tend towards uplift and the true principle of American citizenship. (Signed). R. G. LAMAR. A GREAT GAME PROMISED The long looked for match game between the L. A. White Sox and the Hogee Giants will take place at Seal Gardens Sunday for a purse of $200.00. This promises to be a battle royal, much interest is unaffected by the friends of the two teams, and it goes without saying Sunday will break all previous records for at- tendance. Through the courtesy of Dr. Gordon and in the effort to secure a number of real lawn party scenes, the Lincoln Motion Picture Company was host to a lawn party given last Sunday afternoon at the residence of Dr. Gordon, Paloma and Washington sts. A great number of the younger set was present and enjoyed intensely their initiation into the movies and the abundance of refreshments. "Relization of a Negro's Ambition" will first be shown in Los Angeles at an early date. Announcement later. Los Angeles, the home and heart of the motion picture industry, with its wealth of sunshine and natural scenery, fitted for any clime or county, has given birth to an absolutely new enterprise—the motion picture business. Realizing the need of a company to produce epictures to portray real life, the interests, ambitions, enterprises, talent, misfortunes and successes of the Negro today, a few local colored citizens formed a company for that purpose. The fact alone should be a credit to our people of Los Angeles and of vital interest to the race in general. Creating a demand for our people and giving an opportunity to develop the talent about in professional and business capacity. Mr. Noble M. Johnson is also author of "The Indiana Lament," a three reel drama produced by the Universal Co., Mr. Johnson playing a leading part. HAIL RESOLUTE NATION Eva Carter Buckner.
