ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 29 DR. W. C. GORDON AND WIFE RETURN FROM TOUR OF WEST AND MIDDLE WEST Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Gordon, who left the city the first part of August to attend the National Medical Association, which met at Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 22, 23, 24, have returned to their home in this city. En route to the convention the Gordons visited their old home, Springfield, Ohio, also Columbus, Chicago and St. Louis, at all of which places they made pleasant stops and were highly entertained by their friends. Dr. and Mrs. Gordon being favorably known in these parts. Reaching Kansas City they found more than two hundred persons, representing the medical profession in attendance upon the Association, and the entire three days session was one of inspiration, as the reports of advancement along the medical profession line came from all sections of the country. These Negro physicians and surgeons, who represent the very cream of the Race, in most cases are struggling against odds to ascend to the upmost round in the profession. Discriminated against by the whites and mistrusted by their own people, yet upon such occasions as this but recently held at Kansas City a most optimistic view of the situation is taken, such as this report brought back by our own Dr. Gordon, DR. H. D. PROWD Newly elected President of Interdenomination Ministerial Alliance. DR. H. D. PROWD Newly elected President of Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance. who is one of the most successful physicians in this city and in fact country. In a similar period no physician neither white nor black, has made greater progress along his line in the West than has Dr. Gordon. Coming to California less than four years ago he has built up a practice too broad in its scope to be taken care of by one man, and his success was not overlooked by the Association, for he was elected to a place on the Executive Board of that great organization. Dr. Byrd, an able physician of Virginia, was elected president for the ensuing year. On their return trip Dr. and Mrs. Gordon visited Denver, Colorado Springs, San Francisco and Oakland. MINISTERS' ALLIANCE INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS At the regular meeting of the interdenominational ministers' alliance on last Tuesday, it was decided that the ministers of the various churches would promote and carry out a monster meeting in October in behalf of amendments No. 1 and No. 2, better known as "California Dry." The following officers were then duly installed by Rev. J. D. Gordon for the ensuing year: Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pres. Rev. W. J. J. Byers, Vice-Pres.; Rev. Archie Williams, Secretary; Rev. R. D. Arline, Assistant Secretary; Prof. T. A. Green, Treasurer. Cooper Smith and wife went into the dining car on the Union Pacific railway to get their meals and were asked to leave the car by the white conductor, H. E. Uetterson, who was in charge of the car. No. 353, Mrs. Smith had taken a chair when told that people of her color were not served by that road. Mr. Smith, who opens at the Orpheum in San Francisco, will sue the railroad company. Ensley, Ala., Aug. 25—The men on the railroad here are thinking seriously of going north to work. The railroads are paying white men 90 cents per day more than they pay members of the race. Such a discrimination is being felt and the time has come for them to leave and go north, where labor pay is higher and no discrimination in salary. The northern agents for labor will find this a splendid field to find workmen. Americus, Ga., Aug. 25—Fifty members of the race were arrested last week when they attempted to leave for cities in the north and east. Several policemen were sent to the depot when the chief heard that many were leaving. Armed with John Doe warrants they boarded the train when it beguilt to speed toward Leslie. The arrested men were brought back and held, pending investigation and legal operations to stop the wholesale immigration North. The Southern Plantation owners are loud in their complaints since the death of Booker T. Washington, whose advice to the Negro to remain in the South had a great influence in keeping them there, and if he were now living, there would be no such Negro exodus North as is now desired, they say. It is reported that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad passenger conductors on trains 21 and 22, daylight trains between St. Louis and Chicago, are attempting to bar Race passengers out of the club chair car, which is free to all passengers. The matter is being investigated by F. H. Rutherford, terminal superintendent at Chicago, so said. Is the title of one of the very latest war songs on the market. The words of this song were written by Miss Lillian Prowd, and put to music by Miss Helen Prowd, both daughters of Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of this city. The Misses Prowd are very beautiful young women. Not beautiful because of their physical features, but because of their sweet Christian characters due to the careful training by their parents, who represent the highest type of Christian culture. The words of the song composed by Miss Lillian are sweetly pathetic with a yearning for a lower who perhaps will never re- California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916 MORE ABOUT THE PROGRESSIVE EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION The Association has started its work. Since last Saturday two hundred acres of land have been sold. The Company, the buyers and persons interested in this effort on the part of a few of our people to realize the ambition of a race, are all optimistic as to the future of this project.

Gordon, Founder of the Progressive Association Idea stated last week the idea of such a racial enterprise was conceived by Dr. J. D. Gordon, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church of this city. When the Association was first organized in Dr. Gordon's study at the church, nine persons were present. They were Dr. Scott, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Hughes, Mr. H. H. Williams, Revs. Ramsey, Lively, Rozier, Mrs. C. A. Bass and Judge Langdon. These nine persons are the founders and promoters of this project which was put before the public last week for the first time. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

POOR ORIGINAL In the first meeting of the Association certain persons were detailed to look out a suitable site. Many districts in California and Arizona were offered where large tracts of land could be secured, but the Association came to no conclusion on any of them until one day Mr. H. H. Williams, our hustling real estate agent, with a more than twenty years' record as an energetic agent in this state and county sited this vast tract in Arizona which promises to be the greatest Black Empire the A We, the members of the Association, hope and pray that our people as a whole will avail themselves of this opportunity and that within a few months every inch of this land will be taken. Any person in doubt as to the security of the land and the absolute safety of the proposition, may look as deeply in to the records of them as they may desire. The agents already established are: H. H. Williams, 1315 E. 12th St. Rev. W. H. Rozier, 540 Holmes Ave. This afternoon all Colored women interested in the future welfare of our country and especially interested in the future prosperity of our state are requested to be present at The Eagle office, 814 Central ave. this afternoon at 4 o'clock to devise ways and means for the promotion of a true Republican spirit among our people. The 49th session of the California A. M. E. Church closed in a blaze of glory on last Sunday evening and the closing was indeed a fitting climax to one of the greatest conferences ever held on the Pacific Coast. On. Sunday. morning. Bishop Parks preached a memorable sermon; one of those soul stirring sermons and as a result thereof, one of the greatest spiritual awakenings manifested itself that it has ever been the writers lot to witness. Strong men and women wept and rose from their places in the audience and came forth protesting Jesus Christ as their Savior. There was upward of 20 who joined the church at this service. It was indeed a wonderful service; it seemed as though everything was set for a glorious day in Zion. Also at the afternoon service the sermon by Rev. R. J. Fletcher was enjoyed by all who heard it and all day long they feasted on both the Spiritual feast and the feast for the inner man as the mens cooperative club had a feast prepared that would satisfy the most fastidious and avaricious. The evening service was one long to be remembered. long before the time for the evening service to commence every seat in the historic Eighth and Towne street church was filled and standing room was at a premium and by the time for the service to begin, the lobbies were filled and overflowing, and it is estimated that considerable more than a thousand persons came and went away before said service began. Rev. J. M. Brown of Oakland preached the closing sermon of the conference, and those who were so fortunate as to hear it will ever remember this effort of Rev. Brown. He was at his best and delivered a burning message that carried conviction with it. Special mention also might be made of the choir of the Eighth and Towne church for the excelency of their selections on this occasion. The Bishop did not arrive until after ten o'clock, but so tense was the interest in the appointments that the immense crowd never budged, and after the preliminaries was out of the way such as resolutions, etc., Bishop Parks gave out the following list of appointments: Watts, Geo.

THE PROPLESS FORM FOR UPLANT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN. NUMBER 31 MAYOR ROLPH IS GOOD SAMARITAN TO AFRICAN METHO- DIST ZION CHURCH From San Francisco Chronicle, September 2nd, 1916. If Lemuel Harris, Mayor Rolph's Negro messenger, did not happen to be a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, it is probable that the church property would have been sold at a sheriff's sale next Tuesday. Up to a few weeks ago, the flock was led by Rev. E. D. W. Jones. He left suddenly, leaving behind him two mortgages, interest payments overdue, and a deficit in the church treasury. Rev. E. M. Clark succeeded Rev. Mr. Jones, coming to San Francisco from the south. Rev. Mr. Clark, together with W. W. Matthews, presiding elder of the church, vainly sought for funds. In their search they called on the Mayor's messenger. The two were gloomily discussing the depleted finances of the church when Mayor Rolph appeared. "Isn't that your church, Lem?" asked the Mayor. "Yes, sah; I am honored by a membership and my wife is the stewardess." "Was that the congregation that prayed for me while I was in the hospital?" "Yes, sah; it was." "Come to my office this afternoon and I will see that your indebtedness bothers you no more," said Mayor. Rolph. REV. J. H. C. REDD RECEIVES CHARGE AT SAN BERNARDINO Rev. J. H. C. Redd is one of the hard workers of the California Conference, and having faith in his ability to guide the destinies of the new church at this point, Bishop Parks assigned him to San Bernardino. Rev. Redd was the statistical secretary of the Conference and has served in various conferences since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, as one of the secretaries of same Conference. He is wide awake and is ably assisted by Mrs. Redd, who is an evangelist of the conference. WILL OPEN ANOTHER NEW BUSINESS ENTERPRISE ON CENTRAL AVE. AND 12TH STREET Another of our enterprising citizens in the person of Mr. Fred Shaw has joined forces with those who are Doing Something along the lines of business endeavor; and is putting in a strictly first class billiard and pool room, barber shop, cigar stand and shining parlor on the S.W. corner of 12th and Central avenue. Mr. Shaw is an old railroad man and for a while conducted a date on Central near Fourth street. Mr. Shaw assures the Eagle man that his highest ambition will be to make this a high and strictly first class place; it will be fitted with the very latest fixtures and with everything that goes with the various business concern at that place. Out side will be the cigar stand and shining parlor. Inst inside the door an up-to-date barbart shop and on the inside the pool and billiard hall. The place is being rapidly put in order and it is, if possible, Mr. Shaw's intention to have Saturday evening for his opening day. Later on there will be a final opening. Mr. Shaw says that he will put in a place which will stand as a high credit to all. Prof. R. G. Jackson left for his home in Kansas City last Monday morning. He seized both to go, but duty called. Ward A.M.E. Church Notes Rev. J. W. Price has been assigned to the pastorate of the above named church. He will preach his first sermon at 11 o'clock next Sunday morning. All will be welcome. At 3 p. m. Dr. F. F. Moten, the outgoing pastor will preach his farewell sermon, and quite a number of the pastors from other churches with their congregations will be present to say goodbye to Dr. Moten and family. A.M. E. Zion Last Sunday morning Rev. J. W. Prix, of Bakersfield, delivered an excellent sermon from the text: "Look unto me all ye ends of the earth and be ye served." A splendid audience was in attendance. Next Sunday the Pastor will occupy the pulpit at each service. There will be an interesting program by the children during the Sunday School hour. Tuesday evening, Sept. 19th, the Conscience Club of the Church will meet with Mrs. Marie L. Gottechalk, 1337 Newton St. All members and friends are expected to be present, PROVIDENCE BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH There was good service at the Church all day Sunday and a good attendance. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. services were also well attended. At 11 o'clock a.m. Rev. C. N. Moore, our pastor, fed the flock of God. It was a glorious service. At night the pastor preached a special sermon to the elected Deaconess of the church, and Rev. Wade gave them the charge. Sunday will be a high day at the church—all day—The Alabama Club serving a barbecue dinner at 12.30. Mt. Zinn, St. Paul, Second Baptist and Tabernacle will convene at Providence Baptist Church at 2:30 p.m. to examine Brother E. Payne for the ministry. A special program will be rendered by the Choir at 7:30, to which the public are cordially invited. Miss Florence Williams read an excellent paper in the B. Y. P. U. last Sunday evening. WESLEY CHAPEL NOTES Lost Sunday was an old fashioned Quarterly Meeting day. At 11 a.m. District Superintendent Peck preached a marvelous sermon that will always live in the hearts of the people. At 3 p.m. the Quarterly Conference was held and at least 150 officers and members of the church were in attendance. The evening service saw a great audience present to witness the installation of officers of the Brotherhood and to hear a special sermon by pastor Kinchen on "Besetting Sine." Next Sunday will no doubt be a great day, as this is the last Sunday before the Annual Conference, and in all likelihood the last Sunday that pastor Kinchen will serve this church as pastor. He has been in charge of this splendid church for five and one-half years, and during that time the Church has come into a great heritage of power, both in the community and in the nation. The Quarterly Conference voted unanimously to ask he return of Pastor Kinchen, but owing to the fact that he has made his plans to serve the church at Pasadena, he has not only refused several offers from the largest churches in the East but will ask to be relieved of the responsibilities of this great church. No Pastor and Church ever closed their ministry with greater love and respect for each other than does Pastor Kinchen and the officers and members of Wesley Chapal. He will passach at both services Sunday and give his farewell message to God. sc The members and friends are all satisfied that false rumors and reports are too insignificant to retard the progress of this great church. Evidence plainly shows that God is certainly leading this band of brave Christian soldiers, and Pastor Greggs continues his noble work. Odd Fellows Hall does not afford room sufficient to accommodate the large crowds that flock to hear this man of God. The ground breaking services will be held on the fourth Sunday of this month, Sept. 24th. Immediately after the ground breaking the contractor will begin the work on the building, which is to be a first-class modern brick and cement church structure, situated on the northwest corner of 28:d and Paloma Sta. Services will continue to be held in Odd Fellows Hall until the building is ready for occupancy. SAN BERNARDINO Mr. and Mrs. Venerable spent Sunday in Los Angeles and attending the Conference. Miss Ruth Ingraham spent Sunday in Los Angeles, the guest of friends. Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander entertained with a dinner Friday evening at their residence on Second street, in honor of Miss Valentin Pearman, of Salt Lake, who is a visitor in the city. The table was beautifully decorated in pink and white hybrnceps, and the same color scheme was carried out in the desserts. Covers were laid for Miss Pearman, Miss Florence Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander. Mrs. N. E. Foster and grandson, D. L. Smith, Jr., having visited SaltLake City, Denver, Colo., Texas and Oklahoma, en route to their home in Los Angeles, stoppeded vert o see Mr. and Mrs. R. Belsinger. Messrs. Elmer and Elwood Whiteside and Misses Valentine Pearman and Miss Florence Harrison motored to Arrowhead Thursday night; to Redlands and Riverside Saturday, and spent Sunday at Mountain Home canyon. Mr. and Mrs. James Mabra and children, Jamie and Clifford, and Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Brock in Redlands Sunday. PASADENA The merry party which motored to San Diego Saturday was composed of Messrs. Levy Mills, Jas Turner, Van Williams, Chas Prince and Jack Fisher at the wheel of the "big six." After visiting the points of interest in and around San Diego, the party crossed into Mexico, visiting the Monte Carlo and other pastimes, returning Monday evening, well pleased with the trip. Mrs. Leva Dailey, formerly a teacher in Georgia, is visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Prince. Mrs. Dailey is a graduate of the State Normal and holds two college diplomas. She is expecting employment in Hotel Green this THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE RIVERSIDE Riverside, Cal., Sept. 13, 1916 To the California Eagle: Rev. G. W.

Z. OSBORNE For Assemblyman 74th District FRANK H. MOUSER K As far as the new Mayor Woolman is concerned, it seems as though he means to "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may." Now that the people have had time to reflect since the August primaries they can see the futility of electing a man to office along the Color line. The Back to the Soil Movement relating to the purchase of land in Arizona and the building up of a mighty colony is music to our ears and in fact the only way to a solution of the problems in this section. The Eagle must insist that all of her subscribers pay up promptly on account of the very high cost of paper. This is imperative and subscribers who fail to pay up will be dropped from our lists without further notice. NO MORE WILSON OR DEMOCRACY There are many who are passing the word around "That it looks like Wilson will win in California on account of the disgruntled divers factions." Now this is all hog wash, this is one election that the PEOPLE are going to decide. And they are going to decide it for progress and prosperity, all of which is synonymous of the Republican party. The people are taking this affair out of the hands of the politicians and attending to it for themselves. They realize that the progress of this country has been stayed a score of years by Wilson and Democracy and as much as the pikers and those who would do spite work desire, the people are going to in California as they will in every other Northern state, give the Republican ticket a substantial majority. So it is all bosh about any chance of California going for Wilson. The people are doing the voting, not the soreheads, and California stands for real Progress and Prosperity that can only be had by placing in power the Grand Old Party. WHY NOT? May we who enjoy the peaceful zephyr of the Pacific ocean not make the first real step towards Race unity? And if not, why not? Certainly the members of the Afro-American Race in California, in the business and professional walks feel more and more daily the sting of discrimination and petty prejudice based alone on Color difference as it is being practiced daily. We have made individual fights against these constantly growing conditions that tend to retard our progress as a people and curb our mental development, without returns in our favor. On every hand and from every quarter we hear, as it were, a cry asking what shall we do to be saved from this humiliation? and from each other in whispering accent we hear, "Get together." The white man looks us in the face and tells that if you Black people could get together you could demand and get anything that you ask for, and yet we drift apart. Some of the Things We Could Accomplish If We Were Together Some months ago Mr. Horner Garrott, a splendid young officer (Colored) bought property in a certain section of our city and because the whites in that community did not want a Negro in their midst, Mr. Garrott was not allowed to live in his own house until he had been submitted to a drenching court procedure, which is not yet ended and which still keeps Mr. Garrott out of his home, which is unoccupied while he pays rent for another. The whites in said community got together and raised a fund with which to fight the case. The Negroes were appealed to but not yet have they responded. A few days ago a Colored girl, who had recently graduated from L. A. High School, applied for nurse training at the Crocker Street Hospital and was emphatically rejected because she was Colored. Yet there is never a week that some Colored patient is not taken to this hospital for treatment and they pay the price. Now a few of the thinking people have secured a large trust of land in the State of Arizona, with the prospectus of a University with every department of learning enjoyed by the leading Universities of this country; a hospital, and every other business enterprise that tends to complete any Christian civilization. Now if not, why not? If just the Negroes in California would get together on this proposition, within a few years we as a people would begin to realize that we are truly a people, and a component part of the world's civilization. ularly, he should put on the soft pedal, because every time he makes this assertion he is damning his own soul by telling an absolute falsehood. The Eagle is not opposed to anything legitimate in journalism, but when a man resorts to downright fabrication and gross misrepresentation of his contemporaries he becomes an outlaw at the game. We had really hoped that our distinguished friend would cut out the "holier than thou" attitude and line up for progress in this bailiwick, but not so. He is "Alexander the Great." He dotes on his diction. We will admit that we fail to rank with Dr. Gonsolaus or Prof. Swing, but any man who permits himself to be called Professor should by right have diction to let. WATCH THE EAGLE There is much to do about near scandals in city politics, but from the things, that come to our ears the situation in the recent 74th district primaries was a debauchery on the elective franchise, and the parties thereto should be shown up. We verily believe there is work right here in this district for the Grand Jury. Word comes to us that one man who was a candidate for the Assembly exacted money from three different candidates for the office of Supervisor on the strength of his candidacy for that office. If this is so, the reason for this continual running, down here, is apparent. And The Eagle is making an investigation which we hope to be able to give out in our next issue. It will be some mighty interesting reading. In his campaign we must insist that he cease to prostitute the sanctity of the church by these things which are ridiculous as well as false. SOME JOURNALIST IS HE A self authentic journal of his own admission with an experience of forty years in the business, is making the rounds in this city with the ridiculous statement that a country patent sheet such as he has carries more reading matter on (one) his back page than all the other Race journals in this city combined. It is an imposition on the public, if he can get on his feet in journalism, we certainly have no objection, for we all started with the patent sheet, such as his, until we could do better. Now get wise, brother, we have no desire to show you up. And don't force our hand. We have more in reserve. Our distinguished poetical friend tells this so much that we verily believe that he believes it himself, but in going around in public places, in churches partic- PURITY GUARANTEED QUALITY PARK PRODUCTS PARK FACE CREAM BLEACH A small quantity of this smooth face cream applied before re- tiring will beautify the complexion, soften and whiten the skin.

The Americans murdered by these Mexican outlaws in the early stages were where they had been warned not to be; where they had no right to be during times of stress and revolution. They had been repeatedly told by American authorities to get out of danger and stay out until conditions changed. There is quite a little difference between a Georgia mob and a Mexican mob; in Georgia the victims are Negroes mobbed by whites, more often than not, for no particular offense; in Mexico whites were murdered by outlaws. The one is killed while supposedly under the protection of their own flag, in their own country; the other is killed on foreign soil under the flag of the highwayman and the professional murderer. There must be some good people in Georgia, but if they lift their voices in condemnation of the men who ruthlessly kill their own fellow citizens and set at defiance the laws Kies, all of Los Angeles, were visiting the city last week as delegates to the annual convention of the State of California Spiritualists.

BIG CIRCUS DAY DRAWS NEAR The day of all days in the calendar of the small boy has almost arrived and the youngsters counting the hoursAR.....1 pe of this vicinity are anxiously counting the hours until circus day. It looks now as though a large percentage of the local population, both young and old, will be present at one of the perinorms when the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth exhibits in Los Angeles on September 25, 26, 27. Not in several years has so much local interest been evinced in a circus event as has been displayed this season in the coming exhibition of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. It is promised that the show will display more new and novel efatures than ever before, including 100 new acts from Europe. The principal feature is the new Oriental, spectacular pageant, "Persia, or the Pageants of The Thousand and One Nights." This great display, which is portrayed by 1,350 persons, and hundreds of horses, elephants and camels, depicts in pageantry the famous tales of the Arabian Nights. In New York City, where the pageant was produced for the first time this spring, it was announced the most gorgeous and stupendous Oriental display ever presented in America. Among the foreign circus novelties to be seen for the first time this season are four troupes of wonderful Chinese performers direct from Pekin, the great Hanneford family of riders; Signor Bagonghi, the famous dwarf equestrian from Italy; James Teddy, champion jumper of the world; Pallenfberg's two troupes of trained bears, and a hmost of other novel acts too numerous to mention individually. The Barnum & Bailey circus is traveling this season on five trains, made up of 89 cars. More than 1,400 persons are carried in tech various departments of this great show, which also includes an enlarged menagerie of 108 cages and 41 elephants. A brilliant, new, three-mile street parade will be given on the streets during the morning hours preceding the first performance.

THE STARS IN THEIR COURSE SIDE WITH A RACE FIGHTING FOR ITS RIGHTS — THE HISTORICAL TEST. For some years we have been losing our rights of citizenship, in law or practice. South and North, an omnivorous sign. At the height of such a year what is to be the answer of Colored American, itself, what its historical record: It is not enough to vote against the pertidious Wilson. Even so he might be re-elected. Shall the historian of tomorrow—and he will be a white man, perhaps this same Wilson—record that under a race proscription suffered not so much by any other race. 50 years after receiving citizenship, 12 million strong, this Colored race, alone of like, race groups, was incapable of itself creating and maintaining organized self-defense of rights on a national basis: How Record of Race Can Be Saved (Religious, iraternal, charity, business organization, local organization for rights or national by the philanthropic aid of noble friends, are all most excellent, but do not sustain our historical record as a race. This can be easily done, however, by the formation of an Equal Rights Committee by Colored Americans in each Colored Community. Have it understood that these committees are for co-operation with other organizations and all difficulty is removed. They are to prevent the charge of no selffight or initiative, are for members of all other organizations to join, and are not to interfere. The great OPPORTUNITY comes. NOW. Every Colored community should form an Equal Rights Committee at once, and send a delegate to the National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress called for Washington, D.C. in one month's time by the National Equal Rights League, whose branches hold up this cause but in not enough places. Through the Congress or league these Equal Rights Committees—the very name has power—can be nationally connected. Send either a delegate or a message to the Congress.

Hammett, who drove for a lumber company in this town, drove up to a farmer's house and asked for a drink of water. Upon seeing him alight from his wagon, accused him of being the man who attacked another man's wife some time ago. Hammett denied this, but was arrested. The officials of the Thomas Lumber Company sought his release, as Mrs. George could not identify Hammett as the man who assaulted her. All the members of the Race were lined up on one street, and made to remove their shoes, which they did without any resistance. The trouble could have been averted right there had the men showed any inclination to fight. A mob of 2,000 formed, led by ministers and business men, and took the prisoner, put him in a caboose under guard until they could perfect plans to murder him. Two thousand to one! Several judges were appealed to, but they were too busily detained at home to pay any attention to the matter. Nothing has been done. Business goes on as usual. Business men re-opened their stores. The sheriff and his deputies have gone about their campaigns for re-election on the Democratic ticket. The hanging took place a few miles west of this town. Hammett, before he died, declared that he did not know anything about Mrs. George, and he DID not know anything about it. His body was left hanging from a telegraph pole for thousands of women and children to view. The difficulty of understanding the southern lynching spirit soon disappears after one, has had better acquaintance with actual racial conditions. For instance: in Florida recently, a mob lynched a white man for participating in a shooting feud with another white neighbor. The Negro must be suppressed. And the lynching of white business men is undoubtedly intended to impress the colored population with the might of the mob. Without the shadow of a doubt, just as soon as the SUBNORMAL colored law-breakers hear of the lynching of this white man they will immediately become normal and safe units of society. It is to overweave the Negro that the Atlanta mob lynched a Jew last year. So, at least southerners have explained lynchings to us. The eGorgia lynchers, we have been informed by the "yellow journals," are respectable citizens, members of the church, some of them, and most of them leaders in business—educated and supposed to be enlightened. This class of people have been loudest in their wail against the Mexican bandits, who, in the main, are reckless, dare-devils, ignorant and irresponsible. A Mexican mob is made up of men who have, during the past few years, lived in lawlessness and not only of their state but of the nation, it is not heard beyond the confines of their own little circle. In Mexico, even though the government is not responsible for the depredations committed by outlaws, it uses every means in its power to hunt down the culprits and as promptly as they are found and caught make their punishment fit their crime. The American government, by its hilence, gives encouragement to this form of lawlessness. Mexican bandits are afraid to come out in the open; American mobs are hailed as "best citizens." This explains in a measure the difference between a civilized and a semi-civilized country. If skimemd milk is cream, give us chalk water.—From the Shrap Book. Last Thursday Mrs. Allen of 1200 Arapaboe street entertained a number of her friends with an elaborate dinner party. More than thirty guests were present, and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent. However, most of Clarence's friends are of the ounion that it should be 16 winters, plus 16 summers, equal 32 years. We're neutral—naturally. Life is like a mountain railway; but school is like the mountain without the railway. But, I might explain that this doesn't concern the High School student of today. Signals! 14-21-16, etc, is the cry which will soon be heard on the various athletic fields all over the country, and base ball, with her famous pitchers and great batmen, will be forgotten—temporarily, while Mr. Football will be presenting his heroes, and exhibiting his ability to entertain the athletically inclined public. Jesse Kimbrongh, the Y. Mj C. A. Coach, is calling for aspirants for the "Y" team, and a meeting will be held Friday evening, at 8:00 at the Gym. 1000 boys are asked to be present. Harold Wilson, son of the Presiding Elder, announces that the recent Conference was an overwhelming success. He claims that he made the acquaintance of about 16 new girls. I should say the Conference was a success as far as he is concerned, because with a minister's son—(1 mean a Methodist minister's)—acquaintance is all that is necessary. Julius Baker is studying "How to make proposals." Charlotte Hubert is studying "How to accept proposals." Rather strange coincidence, isn't it? "Life is one unexpected thing after another," remarked Lawrence Greene, after reading of the former Miss Littlejohn's wedding. Answers to Oueries Answers to Queries Question: To settle an argument, will you tell me it, Julius Baker is a man or a lady? Answer: Neither: Julius Baker is a boy: Question: What is the name of the man who set the record 9:03 in the 100 yard dash? Answer: His name is "Greased Lightning," but you'd better call him Mr. Howrad Drew. Safety first. Question: Why do you always write about Clarence James? Answer: Because he can't read. Question: Who is the best ball player in the world? Tris Speaker or Tyrus Cobb? Answer: Neither; They are both out of the question as long as 'Fessa Clarence James is hanging around. Question: Which is the best newspaper; the Examiner of the Times? Ansker: Neither; if you want the best, subscribe for the Eagle.

SCHOOL ON WHEELS ON ON RAILS OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC A school on wheels is operated on the rails of the Southern Pacific Company. In Southern Pacific extra section gang under Foreman Taft, who has a crew of fifty men in the Ventura District on the Los Angeles Division, there are twenty-five or more children who are being taught daily in a box car which has been fitted up with benches. They have a teacher who instructs them daily in English and Spanish. The r results thus far, have been gratifying. As the gang moves along from place to place so does the school car, and the children never have to miss a day's attendance. Superintendent Whalen has made requisition for an old passenger coach which will be fitted up with benches and blackboards, and which will be easier to heat, expecting in this way to improve materially teh conditions in this unique schoolroom. He has furthermore arranged to fit up a hospital car for the women and children in the camp who become ill—From the Scrap POOR ORIGINAL The President, Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert, of the Allen Allensworth Club, together with the officers and members, wish to express their profound appreciation and thanks to each and all who labored so faithfully and assuredly for the success of the great Hinawatha Wedding Feast, dramatized and staked by Prof. Robert G. Jackson, of Western University, at the Trinity Auditorium, September 5th. The Club especially thanks Dr. W. C. Gordon, who, in the beginning, when some thought it impossible for Los Angeles local talent to stage the affair, worked faithfully with Mrs. Hulbert to keep the chorus together. Because of the difficult composition of Samuel Coleridge Taylor, and the time required to learn the lengthy parts, and the consideration of car fare by some of the chorus, made the affair very expensive; nevertheless, a musical success. There were those of the chorus who sacrificed and worked faithfully to help make this the greatest musical fete ever staged by the colored people in the theater. The Theater and sincere thanks to the chorus for their assistance and sacrifice. To Prof. C. A. Biggers, whose uniting efforts in assisting in the management of the affair, will long be remembered and appreciated by the Club. Words are inadequate to express profound congratulations to Prof. Jackson for the wonderful work he did in putting on the finishing touches in the training of the voices that had received preparatory training by Dr. W. C. Gordon, Prof. Jackson is a musical genius, and it is conceded by all who have heard and seen him perform, that he has no superior in the Race. Again, special thanks are to be extended to those outside of the Club, especially Mrs. Wm. E. Easton, Mrs. Gussie Bacon, who assisted in making the costumes, and Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winkers, who prolonged her stay in Los Angeles, and placed herself under training of Prof. Cheeke at a great expense to herself to assist in staging the Hiawatha Wedding Feast. This being a new Club, and the first big effort put forth by it, there were many incidental expenses that could not have been prevented, a report of which will go to the Board of the Old Folks' Home after the meeting of the Club next Wednesday, September 20th. It has been erroneously stated by some one that the President of the Club, Mrs. C. C. Halulbert, has been paid one hundred dollars; but the statement is untrue, and without foundation. She has not received one hundred dollars, and not even her car fare. Where the expense of staging the Hiawatha Wedding Feast was so great, and was thus understood to be before staging of the said affair, the same was not such a success financially; but as stated by both colored and white, it was the greatest affair ever staged by the colored people in the West. It has been requested by many over the 'phone, through letters of congratulations and otherwise to repeat the Hiawatha Wedding Feast; and many have stated that they and their friends would be willing to pay even a greater price than has been charged to witness the affair, having heard such favorable comments. Again thanking one and all, we hope to please you much better next year when we stage the "Feast and Death of Minnehaha" combined. (Mrs.) C. C. HULBERT, President. Allen Allensworth Literary and Industrial Club. LUCAS C. LUKE, LOST, STRAVED OR STOLEN I want to thank the voters of the 74th Assembly District for the kind offering that they gave me. I want to thank the voters for what votes I got, and also for the votes that I did not get, which were counted. I made the race without five cents, and I begged the Ten Dollars to file my papers with the white and colored friends, and also the $3.80 I begged for my cards. I made the race practically without any clothes and barefooted. In other words, I was too poor to make the race, but if God be my helper; I will make the same race two years hence. May God be with us and speed us on to a better government. The Eagle Cafe at 816 Central avenue, under the direct management of Miss B. Young-and Miss B. Taylor has gone on record as being one of the neatest and most reserve little cafes, not only as for regular service but for small parties and banquets in the city. Not only is the service of the best accorded by polite society, the food is of the best in quality and preparation. While in the city, Prof. Robert Jackson of Western University was sumptiously entertained at the Eagle Cafe and was loud in his praise for Western University, since the management was his former pupils. Last Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Winters were entertained by Editor and Mrs. Bass at the Eagle Cafe and made similar comment as to the high class service and food at this cozy little eating place. A BROTHER'S JEALOUSY. By Hilberte L. Rorier It was near election day. The minds of the whole town was centered on the coming race for District Attorney, between Stanley Collins and Richard Van Burene. Collins was a young man who had come up from a common, school-boy son of a hard-working man; had worked his way through college, and had become widely known as one of the best attorneys in the state. He was the sort of fellow whom everybody in his acquaintance liked. During his college career he had met Miss Vivian Auburne, a daughter of a very wealthy ex-Congressman. He loved her; and her admiration for him as an athlete soon grew into love. Vivian's father, whose vote meant much in his town, on account of his political career, admired Collins for his bravery to speak what he thought when he thought it. Richard Van Burene was situated somewhat different from his rival, being the elder of two sons of a wealthy banker. He had never had to work, and was joint heir to a fortune, but he was very ambitions and looked forward to the day when he would be called Governor Van Burene. His only faults were his over-anxious ambition and his quick, uncontrollable temper. He and his business partner had splendid success in the law business, but there was one thing: hat blocked his chances for election—Auburne's sentiment. It was under these conditions that the sun arose one morning about two weeks before that trying day. Just one week before, Van Burene, who was known as Dick among his friends, had greeted his brother Jack, who had just finished his college career, but Dick was very much disappointed in his "kid" brother, for the simple reason that Jack was a "ladies' man." Dick's office boy, Bobbie, a very thoughtful young chap, found himself the first arrival at the office one morning, and after dusting up the desks of Dick, and Blackwell, who was Dick's partner, he started to dust the stenographer's table. "Oh, I know what I'll do," said Bobbie, "I'll get Miss Kennard a bunch of flowers, and see if she'll kiss me like she did Mr. Van's brother yesterday." So saying, he left the office and appeared again in a few minutes with a beautiful boquet of roses, which he placed in a vase on the stenographer's table. "Hello, Bobbie!" greeted Miss Kennard, entering and hanging up her coat and hat. "Morning, Miss Kennard," answered Bobbie, as he placed two letters upon Dick's desk. "Bobbie!" called the stenographer, gazing at the flowers on her table, "has Jack Van Burene been here so early? "No," answered Bobbie; "Can't you think of nobody else who might have brought you a bouquet? "Oh, you dear little boy!" remarked the stenographer, smelling of the flowers. "How I do love pretty flowers." "But I don't care anything about little Bobbie, though," wailed Bobbie, "no matter if he did bring them to me." "Why, of course I do," laughed the stenographer. "Well, why don't you kiss him like you did Mr. Van's brother?" Bobbie walked slowly up to where Miss Kennard was lean on the table. "Shut your eyes!" commanded the stenographer. Bobbie smiled and did as he was bidden. Just as she planted a kiss on little Bobbie's cheek, the door opened and Mr. Blackwell entered. He had awakened with a violent headache, and had stopped at a saloon on his way to the office to get a little drink to ease the pain. "Ha! ha!" he grinned as he viewed the situation. "Beat it Bobbie; it's my turn!" Bobbie left the room and went into the outer room. "I wouldn't speak so roughly to the little fellow, Mr. Blackwell," said the stenographer, taking her seat and uncovering the typewriter, "and besides, you didn't even tell me 'good morning.'" A. L.

"What's that got to do with the President," returned Blackwell, as he stopped her; "Why can't you be as generous to me as you were to Bobbie?" "Because I don't choose to! she fired back. "You have no choice in the matter!" retorted the half-drunken lawyer as he grabbed her. The door opened and Van Burene entered, followed by Bobbie. Without a word, Dick grabbed his partner by the collar, and slammed him against the wall. "You common, low sneak, get out of this place and stay out!" his eyes eyes flaming with anger and his forefinger pointing decidedly toward the door. Blackwell, now pretty well recovered from his intoxication, walked unheedingly toward his desk. "You have either turned deaf very suddenly, or you misunderstood me. I said for you to leave this office, and I meant it!" Blackwell walked toward the door and stopped. "Very well; I shall inform Collins of your intentions as to his ruination," he said. "Wait!" cried Dick "Don't you dare!" He drew a little pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Blackwell. "You needn't go," he said; "but if you don't apologize to Miss Kennard pretty quick, I'll put you to sleep." (To be continued.) Does Blackwell apologize, or does Van Burene "put him to sleep?" Get next week's EAGLE and see. J. A. Pierson, after an extensive stay in Southern California, left for his home in Washington Thursday. He will stop en route at Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton, Oakland, Frisco and other points. Mr. Pierson is one of our wide awake and splendid young men who is really doing something, as in the state of Washington he has a large timber claim proved up and is constantly making it a better place to live by the improvements he is making thereon. Birch Street Christian Church All day Sunday pastor Latouche and Bro.

Elbert, Shackleford, Gamble Westheimer whose purpose is to care for girls without funds, who need immediate help, will be a great factor for the betterment of womanhood. Sojourner Truth Home stands as a service institution to meet the requirements of women. The Benedicts and Bachelors covered themselves with glory last Tuesday evening at Blanchard Hall. Their Harvest entertainment was one of the most enjoyable affairs given in this city. Rightfully did they earn the sobriquet "boosters," for they boosted a hall full of pleasure seekers. Many harvesters were out with their boots, and cob pipes, overalls, bandanas, straw sombreros, etc. One of our popular young men portrayed antebellum Negro. He was a prize winner. Unfortunate there were not more prizes as several of the contestants were sure winners, which the committee would like to have awarded. The contest was very close between Mr. Waugh, the prize winner, and Mr. Eddie Wheaton, Mr. Ed Lee. Many characters were represented. It was mirth and merriment the entire evening and 12 o'clock came only too soon. The pleasure was not only for those present, but the community, and especially Sojourner Truth Home, and women. Out of the Boosters' great heart and work, their entertainment made it possible to keep warm the heart, hand and feet of all who will be fortunate enough to be in Soujourner Truth Home this winter. For they filled our store house with coal. Sojourned Club wishes those Boosters success, collectively and individually. The full receipts will be published in next week's paper. Many calls are made each week to the Home for help. Will the women please register their names, address, and wages wanted.
