California Eagle

ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 TH WOODMAN RE-ELECTED AT TUESDAY'S PRIMARIES By a Majority of Over a Thousand Votes. Mayor F. T. Woodman ran true to form and on last Tuesday won handily by receiving a majority of more than 1000 over the entire field of candidates. The people have thereby put their seal of approval on his record, and believe that he is the one best fitted to preside over the destinies of this city for the next two years. Notable Victory for the Eagle At the outset of this campaign The Eagle, in the face of an apparent support of Mr. Snyder by 95 per cent of our people, and recognizing Mr. Woodman as the man who would best serve all of the people, faced the proposition of winning enough of this support to Woodman with fear and trepidation. But with head erect and ever looking forward we opened up the fray with our light artillery and schrapnel, and then with our machine guns, and at the proper time we lauched our big 42-centimeter guns and the victory was won. An analysis of the vote cast will show very clearly that the Mayor would have been many votes shy of election had this battle for the colored vote been lost. As a journal single handed and alone The Eagle triumphantly marched not unlike a plumed knight in the victorious procession, however, we feel that the victory was so complete, so decisive and so grand that all of the forces which brought it about may well share in the radiant glory of the same. PATRIOTISM BRINGS RACE TOGETHER AS NEVER BEFORE Incipient Organization of Regiment to Be Offered State and Nation. If any person would doubt for a moment the loyalty of the colored citizens of Los Angeles that doubt would have been speedily removed had they been present at the meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. on last Wednesday evening. On the call of many of our foremost citizens the rooms were crowded to hear the plans for the formation of a colored regiment in California. After a statement of the history of the efforts of Attorney Hudson, of San Francisco, and Editor Bass at Sacramento, to forward this movement and highly patriotic addresses by Attorney Hugh E. Mac Beth, Attorney Willis O. Tyler, J. W. Williams, Attorney Kelly and others, it was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that the work of recruiting this California colored regiment be undertaken at once and that six companies be formed at once, five in Los Angeles and one in Pasadena. A letter was read from Attorney Hudson that the formation of two companies in San Francisco and Oakland was well under way. The following temporary officers for the Southern battalion were agreed upon: Capt. Wm. Reynolds, Major; Lt. H. F. Wheaton, Captain; Sergt. D. M. Matthews, Captain; Sergt. A. J. Haines, Captain; Lt. F. W. Butler, Captain; E. L. Gaines, Captain. These officers are to temporarily name their First and Second Lieutenants. All of these officers have military experience, having served in the regular and volunteer serv- ```markdown ``` Patriotism at this meeting reigned supreme and as a prominent attorney remarked to The Eagle man, this meeting certainly is a harbinger of great things to see so many of our folks together for common weal. It means that they will not only defend our country to the utmost, but that we will instill the highest possible patriotism that others may well take notice. The meeting adjourned by singing "Columbia," to meet on next Wednesday evening at the same place, and all who stand for this sort of patriotism are cordially invited to come out, as the various companies will be formed and drilling commenced. NOTABLE ADDRESS DELIVERED BY ATTORNEY OSCAR HUDSON OF SAN FRANCISCO AT THE RECENT CONCLAVE OF THE ALL-AMERICAN LEAGUE AT SACRAMENTO, APRIL 23RD. The Colored American and the President War Crisis Essentially a Man of Peace Mr. Master of Ceremonies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens: Inasmuch as I, in my address, will assume the attitude of espousing the entrance of the United States into the seeming great world crisis which is now being enacted upon the different stages of the Universe, I deem it proper and eminently beffitting that I first define what my attitude was before the 5th day of April, in the Year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventeen, when our National Congress saw fit to declare war upon its enemy, the Imperial German Government, and to assume an at titude of belligerency toward said Government, and also to define what my attitude shall be when this, my native land, shall once more be at peace with the other peoples and nations of this world. I have always assumed that there is only one thing in this world worth having, and which has been the ultimate quest of mankind, to-wit; Peace, and whether, mankind has been in pursuit of this quest, consciously or unconsciously, matters not, for if mankind is in quest or gold, military power, political power, commercial power, or what not, he desires the thing of his quest, only that the comfort and peace of mind that he has been led to believe that the acquisition of his quest will bring to him and to those whom he holds most dear, and I believe that the mankind will realize that he cannot have an enemy, and as long as he himself is possessed of the Elements of War, some of which are: Anger, Envy, Passion, Hate, Malice, Greed, Evil Speaking and Strife; that mankind will realize that he will always entertain an enemy so long as he acquires by force of arms; that a peace acquired by arms or by subduing an enemy by force of arms, only remains a peace until the subjected has acquired sufficient force or strength to overthrow its subjector. I believe the day not far distant when the Christian Nations of the world who pray "Our Father Who Art in Heaven" cannot any longer pray so without fully acknowledging the brotherhood of the whole Race of Mankind, for there can be no fatherhood without a subsequent brotherhood, and to deny one is no less infidelic than to deny the other. Race upon top of Race and Nation after Nation have tried to make right by might, only to find that they have been standing upon sinking sands and that the thing that they had seen to acquire only California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MAY 5, 1917 remained theirs until the Race on Nation from whom it had been acquired or some other ascending Race or Nation had acquired, sufficient might to deprive them of their coveted possessions. Friends, I believe that the human race is growing better. I do not believe that the wall of war and want shall be heard forever. I believe that the time will come when Liberty and Law and Love, like the rings of Saturn, will surround the World. I believe that the time will come when the Human Race will cease making the mistakes of warring upon his brother, but until that time comes, just as primitive man was forced to use a rock axe to hue his wood, and a tom-tom to produce his music until he learns better, just so will man in this age continue to use the vehicle of war to attain so-called Peace, until he learns of the Law of Love as condensed from the Ten Commandments and handed down to posterity by our Lord and Master, Christ Jesus, to wit: Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, all with all thy might, and thy neighbor as thyself. So that my attitude before the 5th of April, 1, 17, was essentially that of an advocate of Peace for all mankind, but upon that day, as already stated, our National Congress declared war upon the imperial German Government, and I, first, last, and at all times being an American citizen and claiming this land of ours as that of my nativity, and owing allegiance to the Government of these United States and claiming a full measure of citizenship in this Government, which also carries with it the right, yes, the duty, to bear arms under its flag, I say I have been since the 5th day of April, 1917, and I am now, for War, and my present position in this matter will not permit of debate, and I have no desire nor inclination to consider any sound or expression that may be made by any person in this country or anywhere in this world that is in any degree antagonistic to or against the welfare and best interests of this, my native land, when this land is at war with another power. I stand first, last, and at all times for the honor of the Government of the United States, for the dignity of the citizens of the United States and for the maintenance of the flag of this country in the highest degree of National honor. Discrimination Now in discussing any problem it is always well for those who have the matter under discussion to eliminate, if possible, all matters which enter into the controversy which will not permit of debate, and one of the matters which quite justly may enter, into the subject concerning the American Negro in this great War's crisis is his treatment at the hands of the Caucasian American. There is no doubt but that the Colored American has been greatly discriminated against; there is no doubt that he has not wholly received a full measure of justice in the Courts of the land; there is no doubt but that he has been discriminated against in educational facilities; in transportation facilities; in the exercise of his suffrage in the Southern States and that he has been subjected to many other discriminations and humiliations; so that this subject will not permit of debate; upon this we are agreed; in this we know that the so-called Colored American has a just grievance, so that our difficulty comes only in agreeing upon a remedy that we shall apply to the condition. The danger of Racial discrimination is not limited to the Race that suffers, but is always a threatening menace to the life of a whole nation. The spirit of injustice, fraud and unfairness never has and never will be limited to any Race or class of people, for if you can steal, mob, or hang a man today under the protection of the law because that man happens to be black, then there is no reason why you should not steal, mob, or hang a man tomorrow because that man happens to be poor and for some other cause or condition; this principal has been proven to be true in the hanging of Frank, in the State of Georgia, in the year 1915, and the countless number of other White men who have been mobbed and hung in other States of this Union within the last few years. A few years ago, every White man in this Union, regardless of how poor or lowly he was, and regardless of the heinousness of his crime, was accorded a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers, but the flames of mob violence, hatred, malice, brutality, greed, revenge and egotism began to POLITICAL FLIGHTS Senator Lyons a Winner The splendi race made by Senator H. H. Lyone for the City Council means that he will be one of the winners at the election in June. All of the people are for Lyons first, last and all the time. And now the political line-up for the councilmanic fight will be well worth watching and we shall no doubt in our next issue give our readers food for thought. S. P. Dones with his back to the wall almost single handed and alone garnered more than 2000 votes in the councilmanic race, and with a united and organized front of all, of the forces that should have been for him he would have won hands down. Very well, Mr. Be t Farmer qualified to run along oward the tail of the ticket. Perhaps it is well that he has. Yes, voters now have a fair and square chance to swat him if you care to. The new leaders who declared themselves such had a stormy beginning and hence their burial was so complete that they will only be remembered as prize jokes. "HITTING IN A PINCH" Have you ever held your breath and glued yourself to the seat while watching intently the game in an exciting moment? With victory about to elude the grasp of your prides and sorrow about to yank at the heartstrings, have you seen a fellow step to the bat with determination written on his face, gritting his teeth and swinging with portentious majesty his bat? Have you seen the pitcher smile as he anticipates triumph and send the spheroid sailing across the plate? Bam! In scampers the run that wins the game. Hats off to the pinch hitter. It takes a fellow with a stout heart to hit in a pinch. It takes nerve, courage and grit to fight with a vim when the score is against you. Doing your best, ringing true under fire, making a hit in a pinch stamps you as a thoroughbred. Life is a game that calls for pinch hitters. Calls for men who can see disaster, defeat and humiliation sweeping down upon them and lift the bat to stick-to-it-iveness and knock a home run. You can win if you remain undaunted. If you keep your heads when the odds have turned, if you hold yourself together and steady your nerves. This country is now under fire. Despotism, plutocracy and militarism are struggling with all their might to gain the victory, to steal the game, to cop the pennant. America is now at the bat. You have your part to play and I have mine. The tension is great, the fire is hot, the pinch is here. Have you made a hit or have you lost your head, courage and valor? Know loyalty is inscribed upon our banners. I know loyalty is inscribed upon our banners. I know that our every heart-beat is for Old Glory. I know our general average is Candidate Wins good, but boys, the game is hanging in the balance and we need pinch hitters. Can you answer the call? Listen! If the boys in the trenches would win we must wallop these backyards with a spade. If autocracy must die a few bushels of potatoes will kill it quicker than a heavy dose of chin-oil. Plant your gardens—prepare to reap a harvest—Reileve the tension—Hit in the pinch. REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. 1 MAYOR WOODMAN Elected at the Primary last Tuesday. 23rd and Hooper Ave. Last Sunday was a great day at St. Paul. Rev. Wade preached the missionary sermon in the morning. In the afternoon the Women's Missionary Society met in convention which lasted over until the evening, closing with a splendid program especially for the occasion. Next Sunday the 6th, Brother A. Lively and his Rev. R. N. Holt New Pastor Sains Paul's Church chorus will be with us; at night the communion service will take place, the rally will also be continued. On March 29th Rev. R. N. Holt came to us and after being here five days was called to the pastorate and five days later gave us an answer which was acceptable and inspired with the spirit to build up St. Paul. He returned to his home at Tula, Okla., and is now ready to return with his family. The officers, members and friends are lined up to give him a hearty support. S. B. BATTEY PASSES OUT S. B. Battey, well known in fraternal and church circles, and for his general worth as an all around broad gauged and liberal citizen, passed away at the county hospital on last Saturday after an illness of only two weeks. The funeral was held on last Wednesday from the C. M. E. THE PEOPLE'S PORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 12 candidate Wins church where many friends and acquaintances camel to pay their last respect. The funeral was conducted by Alpine Lodge A. F. & A. M., Golden Rule Lodge of Odd Fellows, the Household of Ruth and O. of Eastern Star of which he was a member, attended in a body. Resolutions from the trustee board of the church was read as well as from the O. E. S., the Ruth and Odd Fellows, many beautiful floral pieces adorned the casket. Mr. Battey was an ex-soldier and the casket was draped with the American flag. The Spanish-American War veterans acted as a guard of honor. The Eagle appreciated very much the stirling worth of Simon E. Battey, and he was one of its staunch supporters. We extend condolences to his bereaved brother and sister and the fraternal circles to which he belonged. The funeral was largely attended and was conducted by the Smith Williams Company. JOHN H. HARRIS of Rev. D. L. McMickens, Who :Died May 4, 1916 Tears have flown, hearts have ached, Since you went away. Often have we wished you back When we knelt down to pray; But "the prayer of the righteous avail- eth much." Has meant much to us. They have brought us peace and com- fort When we were sordly distressed. Though a year has passed since you left us. Your presence has been with us still; All we have done, you have helped us, So devoted to your church, you have been. So patient were you when we had you, So loving, so gentle so kind; We were naughty, and ask God's for- giveness And may you peace and eternal bliss find. A heavenly home was prepared; we know For you a servant of God. A home where changes never come, Whence you received your reward; A reward which was merited here be- low Amid suffering, toil and strife. But praise the Lord, he caused you to know "Twas for Him you labored, not us. —Susie Jean Lynch. PROMINENT CITIZEN VIS ITS CAPITAL CITY The Hon. Geo. H. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, was a visitor over Sunday and Monday, the guest of Editor J. B. Bass of the California Eagle. Those who were fortunate enough to be present at the Sunday morning service at St. Andrews will never forget the words of this gifted speaker on that occasion. Mr. Woodson is a man of national reputation as a leader of his race and Sacramento feels highly honored on having had him in our midst. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pico and Paloma Streets Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor The illustrated lecture given by Rev. Dr. Smith (white) of Pasadena, Calif., known as "The Prodigal Son," will long be remembered. Every phase of a man's life was depicted, from infancy to full manhood, watched over by a tender mother, with a mother's care and anxiety. He depicted sin in a great city such as Chicago, and the downward path so many young men follow after leaving a Christian home. The return showed a sad but wiser man, aged from dissipation and sin, but repentful and wiser. His kind mother very near the brink, all brought on by an only waywardess. Lord Jesus remembered. A pertinent question he asked. Should a person visit a park or a ball game or a motion picture house on Sunday? His answer was emphatically "No." He said, "There will be no good girls unless there are good boys, and if the church saves the girls it must save the boys, as the girls follow the boys wherever they go. Miss Louise Davis of Alexandria, La., joined church when the pastor opened the day. Zion has inaugurated a rally for July to pay on the mortgage. The clubs are named after the Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion church. Each club is to raise $100. All seem jubilant and success seems assured. The pastor will, talk on Sunday at 11 a. m., "The Question that Has Never Been Answered." At 8 p. m. his talk will be, "The Woman with a Backbone." Communion Sunday. Come out early. Plenty seats. All are welcome. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Corner Third and Traction Rev. F. H. Davis, Pastor The pastor preached a very enthusiastic sermon from the 52nd chapter of Isaiah. At the evening service Prof. Baston addressed the Parent-Teachers Association, which meets the fifth Sunday in each month. The Sunday School opens at 9:30 a.m. m. Sunday mornings. At 5:00 o'clock p. m. on the second, third and fourth Sundays the Get Acquainted and Literary Society meets. This is very hospitable for the young folks and helps to get better acquainted with each other. At 6:30 p. m. the Baptist Young People's Union meets each Sunday. Come out and help to encourage these young people, as they are trying very hard to make their auxiliary successful. Zion is now planning to celebrate her 25th anniversary on the 27th of May. A committee of seven are doing all that is in their power to make this day a success. Our motto, "A Greater Zion the next 25 years." Zion will spare no pains in making this anniversary one of the best (if not the best) that has ever been held. All are welcome. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner Eighth and Towne Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor Two thoroughly edifying services were enjoyed by each worshippier who attended First church last Sunday. The large congregations are continuing to grow and the messages delivered by the pastor are strengthening to all. There were three accessions to membership. One convert. The choir sang beautifully at both services. You are always welcome to our services. Communion day is this Sunday, May 6th. The pastor will deliver both sermons. Morning subject, "Life Out of Death." Evening subject, "Watch." At the morning service several infants will be baptized. Splendid music by the choir and administration of the Lord's supper at both services. Come on time to get a good new Sunday, May 13, is the "Gleaning Day" on Easter Rally effort. All unpaid pledges are expected in and every loyal African Methodist of Eighth and Towne Avenue church who has not as yet contributed to this worthy cause should at least give one dollar at this time. This day closes up the effort on church indebtedness for this annual conference year. And without doubt the bonded debt will be cut down this year more than twice as much as last year with all the current expenses paid up to date. Have it said to your credit that you did your part in this magnificent work WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Streets Rev. A. P. Shaw, D. D., Pastor Last Sunday was state rally day at Wesley M. E. church. Texas led with $150, the largest amount raised by any one state. Iowa led in the largest per capita, giving with $15.25 by two persons. In proportion to the members contributing all the states did remarkably well. The following is the amounts raised by states: Louisiana, $51.72; California, $31.45; Mississippi, $45.20; Arkansas, $11.10; Alabama, $16.80; Tennessee, $17.95; Tennessee, $17.95; Kentucky, $10.00; Virginia, $20.55; North Carolina, $2.50. The Northern states, including $15.25 from Iowa, $11.25 for New York, $2.50 from Illinois, $4.50 from Missouri, $5.00 from Kansas and Ohio, raised $42.50. Other collection $20.00, making a grand total of $475.71 for the day. This was only a helper in our big rally which closes May 27. There were two conversions at the Pullman Mission Sunday afternoon. Sunday is Communion Sunday. At 11 a.m. the pastor's sermon subject will be "A Forsaken Savior." In the evening his subject will be "Sin." In connection with this subject the "Unpardonable Sin" will be discussed. We are now on the last lap of the great financial race which closes up the last Sunday in May. The rally captains are all expected to be present Sunday and also Tuesday night to arrange for a whirlwind close up of the rally. Let every member get ready for concerted action. Let us have over 300 communicants Sunday. CHRISTIAN CHURCH NEWS Last Sunday was another favorable day at our church, both morning and evening service being well attended. Brother Hopper's sermons were unusually good. His text in the morning was "The Right State of the Heart," and in the evening "Divine Providence." J. B. On next Sunday, Brother Robinson will fill the pulpit in Brother Hopper's absence, as he is compelled to be in Calexico on that day. The choir, under the direction of Prof Haynes, is growing and making wonderful progress. Our doors are all open to visitors. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor of the People's Independent Church of Christ, took as his theme Sunday morning, "True Religion and Where It Is Found," he saying in part: The true religion is found wherever Christ is found, for He is the way, the truth and the light. The man who has found this true religion is the one who hasicked up the cross in his heart and followed Jesus daily, not the one who comes to church on Sunday, kneels, at the altar, sings and shouts, and on Monday returns to his usual work of grafting and cheating his brother in every way possible. The man with true religion lives unspotted from the world. He lives the life of a true Christian and is treated as a true Christian. We all should watch our Heavenly Compass and see that the needle always, points heavenward At the evening service Bro. Emanuel Hall preached his initial sermon. His text was "The Prodigal." This was indeed an excellent sermon coming from a young minister of God's word, one whom the members and friends see many blessings for in the near future. Don't forget that Sunday is the first Sunday. Come and help us lighten the burden by giving what you can. The Quarterly Conference took place Monday night. Every member was much inspired by the many excellent reports given by the various church organizations. The following give you an idea of what the church doing. Total cash receipt for quarter, $7,540.63; total cash balance, $784.67; conversions during the quarter, 24; present membership, 596. Bro. Jackson was elected to serve the unexpired term of Bro. H. G. Walker. Brothers A. E. Qsborne and Edward Carrington were elected to the deacon board. Full reports can be had in print soon. THE BAPTIST UNION The Los Angeles Baptist Ministers' Union met at usual at the Second Baptist church. The meeting was filled with interest and enthusiasm. One particular feature in these meeting was the manner in which Dr. R. D. Arline has conducted his lectures on Homolectics. These lectures, which have been simple in their presentation, have been very helpful and inspiring. His lectures have shown that they have been carefully prepared, which have been an untold blessing to all who have had the opportunity to hear him. These lectures have also shown that the God man of today must be a carrier of good news, a man with a message of truth, a man endured with the Holy Spirit. Last Monday was the election of officers for the next three months. The Union voted to retain its present officers which are as follows: Rev. W. H. Rozier, president; Rev. F. H. Davis, vice president; W. H. M. Dickerson, secretary; Dr. R. D. Arline, treasurer. The program committee have sparred no little pains to make these meetings a success. Next Monday Rev. R. A. Wade will discuss the subject, "Does God Hear Sinners-Pray?" We are expecting a lively discussion of this subject, which is a vital one in evangelism. Deacons, trustees, members, visitors and friends are all welcome to these meetings. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE-GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue E. E. Lightner, Pastor Dr. L. Stovall was the speaker at the morning service on last Sunday to an appreciative audience. His address which was along the lines of prevention and cure of disease, was well received. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the evening service, speaking on, "The Great Commission." The Christian Endeavor meeting under the leadership of Mrs. Hawkins was of unusual interest, the topic being, "Missionary Opportunities in Latin America." On next Sunday will be the rally for making some needed improvements in our church. Every one is asked to worship with us and aid in this worthy cause. Rev. L. E. Edwards will be the speaker at the morning service. In the evening there will be the regular Communion service. Christian Endeavor, 7:00 p.m., topic, "Love," I Cor. 13:1-13 (Consecration meeting). Mrs. Dennis, leader. A cordial welcome to all services. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor The services at this church on the past Sunday were very enjoyable and two very appreciative congregations were present to worship with us. Aside from the regular offering of the day the ladies of Stewardess Board No. 1 had a rally for the carpet and chairs they are installing in the church. The result of this effort was $57.00. The ladies of this board are a wide awake and working band. All departments of the church are alive and as busy as bees. The spiritual life of the church is very much awakened as the result of the recent revival and we are regularly having accessions to the membership. Sunday is Communion day and the pastor and officers are expecting the membership and friends out in large numbers to partake of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Friends and visitors always welcome. There is going to be some track meet at that big picnic at Playa Del Rey, on the 30th of May. Every B. Y. P.

On arrival of the party, Mrs. Dr. Nelson, accompanied by Prof. Bynum on the organ, sang a most touching wedding selection entitled, "God Gave Thee to Me." After Mrs. Sidney Dones, also accompanied by Prof. Bynum, had played a most delightful and beating selection on the violin. The march to the altar was then taken up by the party with order steps performed this part of the exercise with precision. The ministers, Rev. Dr. Craw, pastor of the church, and Dr. H. Prowd, of the 2nd Baptist, entered the altar and awaited the bride and groom. The page was a very little oy, who performed the duty in the most excellent manner, to the amazement and with commendation of the whole assembly. On arrival at the altar, Dr. Prowd who performed the ceremony, assisted by Dr. Craw, audibly and solemnly addressed the assembly, and began the ceremony which was most beautifully done. Dr. Craw's solemn prayer preceded the actual tying of the knot, by Dr. Prowd. Thus closed one of the most picturesque affairs of the season. We wish the bride and groom happiness and success and hearty congratulate the parents. BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. At the home of Mrs. Rosa Woodens, on 1157 E. 31st, on last Sunday afternoon, a charming at home reception was held in honor of the birthday anniversary of Mrs. Wooden. During the afternoon 130 guests were present, the house being beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns. Dainty refreshments an punch were served, and it was declared by all who attended as one of the most unique affaaffirs ever held in this city. A startling but pleasing, surprise was in store for all, as on this occasion was the announcement of the coming marriage of Miss Lorenzo Jordan to T. A. Cole, of Seattle, who formerly lived in this city. Miss Jordan is one of our most estimable and talented young folk, and her friends are legion in this community, and Mr. Cole is one of our splendid young men who has made good in the northwest. He will come in September to claim his bride. Those who were in the receiving line on this occasion were Mesdames Gottschalk, Viola Hill, R. L. Hudson, A. Jordan, P. J. Thomas, and Mrs. Agnes Wooden, the hostess. Receiving at the door were Mesdames F. W. Kegler, C. Thomas. Assisting in the diningroom were Mesdames Viola Hubbard, Flora Johnson, R. H. Hall, Agnes Marin, C. Fanner, A. Oliver, R. Harris, H. McGee, J. A. Moore, and C. L. Bibreed. Mrs. Eliza Warner made an excellent address on the Red Cross, which was well received; also Mrs. M. Bates, president of the Federation of State Clubs. GIVENS-WILLIAMS WEDDING A BRILLIANT EVENT If dreams come true and one dream of fairyland with all the beautiful maids and flowers and dazzling and brilliant hues of the rainbow, Tabernacle Baptist Church was a fairy acone on Wednesday evening last when the marriage of two of our most popular young people, Mr. Paul R. Williams claimed as his bride the beautiful and talented Della Givens. The church was packed to the doors with beautifully gowned ladies and well groomed men and with the beautiful gowns of the bridal party made the affair the one event of the season. Just before the entrance of the bridal party, Mrs. Ruth Liskey-Kelso, a bride of a week, sweetly sang "Because." Miss G. Baker delighted the assemblage with a beautiful violin selection, after which Miss Lorenzo Jordan at the piano struck the first strains of the familiar Mendelssohn's Wedding March. First came the matron of honor, Mrs. Virgil Lee, sister of the bride, gowned in a beautiful creation of turquoise blue beaded with gold irredescent beads and a picture hat to match. Then came the bridesmales, Miss Ruth Rogers was a beautiful picture in apricot Georgette crepe with trimings of gold lace and picture hat to match. Mr. Ballinger Kemp as usher walked with Miss Rogers. Miss Cora Campbell, a bridesmaid, was charming in creme lace over pink satin and walked with Mr Woodley Lewis. Next came Miss Erma Fields, who was handsomely attired in pink Georgette creep and charmuse and walked with Mr. Payne Middleton. The maid of honor, Miss Irene Givens, sister of the bride, was a lovely little doll in pea green Georgette crepe and silver lace beaded. After which the two little flower girls, who were as sweet and cute as angels, Miss Marie Marvin in white over pink slips, with her basket of rose petals, and Miss Catherine THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE RUSSELL & CONNER 1400 EAST SEVENTEENTH STREET One block east of Central Avenue, Cor. of Naomi Ave. A Modern Funeral Home Where our desire is to extend practical Service Our manner of planning and conducting funerals of beauty and grace have brought us the reputation of Distinctive Funeral Directors.

She was perfect dream of liveliness in white duchess satin and chiffon cloth with trimmings of irredescent beads. Her bridal veil was caught from the back of the hair with orange blossoms and was en train. She carried a beautiful shower of lilies of the valley and orchids. The maid of honor carried a shower, of Cecil Brunner roses and the bridesmald pink bride's rose buds. Her picture hat matched her gown. A beautiful pergola, a creation from the brain of the groom, Mr. Williams, who is an architect, was erected across the back of the church and was a dream of beauty and green decorations and tall featherlike palms in the back ground. Here the bride and groom plighted their trôt, Rays. Gordon and Craw officiating. Chester Williams, brother of the groom, stood as best man. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Williams and the bridal party led the way to the side under one wing of the pergola where tables were tastefully decorated and set for the party who partook of light refreshments. A 102 South Spring St. METHOD A Gonsouland Car Toilet Device (PATENTED) Comfort and Convenience While Traveling The laws of sanitation make it compulsory that toilets on all passenger coaches be closed while in the city limits and while being transferred across all bodies of water. Especially in the State of Colorado. The traveling public has suffered patiently from this inconvenience with the belief that the railroads could find no remedy for the causes that required such stringent SANITARY MEASURES. The Gonsouland Toilet Hopper and Improved Water Heater and Flushing Device is the outcome of over thirty-five years experience of a Railroad Employee, who has not only seen and studied the expense railroads are under in consequence of the present UNSANITARY methods of operating toilets on all cars, whether Pullman. Private or Regular Coach, but has witnessed the many hardships and inconvenience the traveling public is put to—particularly women and children—at all time, and especially during LAYOVERS and train delays. The present ANTIQUE and UN-HEALTHY arrangements now in use has always appealed to the Railroad Officials who constantly study the comforts of their patrons, but it so happens and quite naturally, that the practical and permanent relief has been devised by a man whose daily occupation brought him forcibly in contact with these long-felt needs. Everything that pertains to the comfort and convenience of the traveling public in the toilet, coupled with facilities for keeping clean the cars with a minimum of trouble and a maximum of hot water, and the possibility of avoiding delays, losses of pocket-books and rings, etc., of passengers, financial losses and litigation to the Railroad, is all combined in these two devices working as one, and I respectfully submit same to the human factors who are constantly studying the interests of the public and the roads they reprsent, and hope for a favorable consideration and adoption of my patents. The use of these patents may be leased separately if desired. May be used on street cars, overhead trains and suburban electric trains. No removal of present equipment required.

CALL FOR TENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE B. Y. P. U. AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Los Angeles, Cal., May 31, 1917. To all Baptist Young People's Unions of the Western Baptist Association, Greetings: You are hereby notified that the 9th Anual Convention of the Baptist Young People's Union will convene in joint session with the Sunday School Convention, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 10th, 11th and 12th, 1917, with the B. Y. P. U. Sunday School of the Tabernacle Baptist Church of Los Angeles, California. (See program for arrangement of sessions). Dear co-workers, we are desirous of making this Convention the greatest in every respect, since our organization, and this can only be done through the leadership of our Heavenly Father, and before the close of the meeting at which this communication is read, we request that your Union offer a special prayer, invoking God's blessing upon our coming session, and with the assurance of His guidance, let us do our whole duty. We take this opportunity of calling your attention to the small contribution sent up each year from the various unions and schools. To succeed in our work we must carry out the business part of the church, and the business part is the financial end, we therefore urge upon every Union and School to send to the Convention not less than ten cents per member for every member on your roll, and more if possible, and may we suggest that on the 2nd Sunday in July that each Union and School hold a special rally to assist in their financial returns to the convention if you find it necessary. Trusting that we will meet a full delegation from your nion and School at the coming Convention, made up of earnest Christian workers, we remain, yours for the Master's cause, and for the advancement of the Baptist Young People of Southern California.

The singers are unsurpassed and are travelling in the interest of Fiske University and it goes without saying that the hall will be filled to its utmost capacity to hear this wonderful band of singers. They have been booked throughout the country by the leading churches and organizations and the Day Nursery was indeed fortunate in securing the same for a date at Blanchard Hall on July 2nd. A MOVING DAY CLEAN-UP OF UNDESIRABLES ASKED FOR pies them by sufferance as part the public domain ceded to the United States by the Republic ASKED FOR Bunko and Confidence Men Brazenly Work on Central Ave. It Is Claimed They Are Well Known. Citizen Calls on Police Officials for Relief. The two Negro bunko and confidence men who worked the old pocket book trick on Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Alexander for $1000 and $500 respectively, are still at their nefarious work and right in the jaws of the Eagle office on Thursday attempted to work the same old trick on Mrs. W. B. Brooks, who conducts the Eagle Cafe at 814 Central Ave. But Mrs. Brooks was from Missouri, had to be shown, and when she went to the bank the crooks seemed to fathom her thoughts and made their get-away, as Mrs. Brooks went with the view of having them turned over to the officers. The boldness with which these men work has stirred up the wrath of this community such as never before, and they are demanding that the authorities take some steps in the premises, that it is a strange proposition that these men can rob and steal unmolested. A well known citizen informs the Eable reporter that both of these men who are so extensively working this bunko game in Los Angeles are well known. It is indeed a reflection on somebody that they are not suppressed. I am today resuming the opinion of the Court in the Arizona land case where I left it last weeay, and I desire your readers to preserve the copes of the Eagle that they may have a complete and unbroken chain as to the legal titles of these valuable lands. "It is also averred that in 1909 the then Secretary of the Interior designated plaintiff's lands as subject to entry under the Enlarged Homestead Act of February 19, 19109; that in 1914 plaintiff petitioned defendant Secretary setting forth its grievances, and prayed that he and his agents "should abstain from listing for entry or sale as part of the public domain of the United States any part of said parcel of land belonging to the plaintiff and from recommending the issuance of any patents covering any part of said land and from surveying or making allotment surveys within the boundaries thereof." The Secretary on June 11, 1914, replied, denying plaintiff relief, "stating among other things that if the tenure of the holding of the Indians is not by grant emanating from the Government of Spain or Mexico, it is not such a property right as was provided for and protected by the treaty, and that the mere possession of the land as Indian country with the right of use, did not prevent it from passing under the dominion of the United States as public land, whatever the obligation of the United States to the Indians might be and that no claim was presented by the Indians with reference to the lands in question to the Surveyor General of Arizona under the act of July 15, 1870, and that by the act of March 3, 1891, a Court of Private Lands Claims was created for the abjudeaton of all private land claims in Arizona and that no claim appeared to have been presented to said court by the Indians, although it is provided by section 12 of said act that any claim not presented to such court within two years from the date of the act shall be deemed to be abandoned and shall be forever barred and that said coruse having expired by limitation of law on June 30, 1904, any claim that the Indians may have, can now be confirmed only by an act of Congress." The prayer in broad terms is that defendants be restrained from treating the land as part of the public domain and exercising authority over it as such. Defendants moved to dismiss the bill on the grounds that plaintiff is incapable of bringing or maintaining this suit, because not a body corporate; that it does not own the lands, but merely occu- pies them by sufferance as part of the public domain ceded to the United States by the Republic of Mexico as part of the Gadsen Purchase; that this, therefore, is a suit against the United States, and that the bill seeks to control the discretionary action of defendants. From the decree sustaining the motion to dismiss this appeal was taken. The history an character of the Papago Indians may be gathered from a reference to certain public documents. In 1865 the first superintendent of Indians for Arizona states that "the early Spanish explorer found the Papagos here in 1540, and ruined houses of grand proportions, attest their occupancy for thousands of years before the Spaniards came." Ex. Doc., 2nd. Sess., 38th Congress, Vol. 5, Rep. Sec of Int., p. 206. In 1865 the Indian Commissioner in a report to Congress said: "The Pueblo Indians maintain their character as peaceable, industrious communities. Some of them have lost the title papers for the grants of land obtained by them from Spain and Mexico. In such cases their agent has taken testimony in their behalf. They deserve the fostering care of the Government, and Congress will no doubt confirm their titles. About five thousand Indians are embraced within the Gadsden Purchase. They are mostly Pueblos, and reside in six different villages. They have houses and flocks, and rise wheat and other products of the soil." Rep. Sec. of Int., Doc., 3rd Session, 34th Congress, Vol. 2. In the report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs of 1856, at page 183, the following statement appears: "A large portion of this acquisition to our Indian population consists of Pueblos situated near Tucson. They reside in permanent villages, have comfortable houses built of adobe, have flocks and herds around and rely upon the cultivation of the soil for subsistence—raising wheat, corn, cotton, and other vegetables. They are divided into six pueblos, or villages, but whether or not they hold their lands under grants from the former government of their country, I am not informed; but presume they do, as they have been permanently settled for a great number of years."

Worth mgten Avenue Wsst-of Astor St. { Under caption “Plot to Incite Blacks Reported from the South,” appears what purports to be by “direct wire—exclusive dispatch” from Greensboro, N. C., April 3rd, in the Daily Times of this'city, the rawest piece of manufactured lie as ever ap- peared ‘in any newspaper in the United States. This article states that the German government has agents in the South, promising the Blacks if they “rise against the whites and gov- ernment,” that the Kaiser “will then place them on a par with the whites.” Not satisfied with his bold statement, it is. further stated that “the citizens of Greensboro are laying their plans against the Black menace.” How? “Responsible citizens about Greensboro have admitted that plans have already been laid to bring back to life the Ku Klux Klan.” It is an infamous lie to charge that the American Negro could under any cir- cumstances be prevailed on to be disloyal to the United States government. In his three hundred years residence in this coun- try he has never been a rebel, a dynamiter or a traitor to.Amer- ican institutions. He has suffered, at times complainingly, but he has invariably submitted tamely to the rankest kind of in- justice, As a figure in American life his condition is truly. pa- thetic, never striking back, never conspiring to tear down, his “ways have always been constructive. This dispatch was sent out with a purpose. For the last two years conditions have become so galling in certain portions of the South, that the Negro has been migrating to the Northwest in large numbers. In the South cotton is king, and the Negro makes him king. This migration from the South means a great loss to the owners of the “cotton patches,” those vast plantations of the staple that mean prosperity to the wealthy planters. It is reasoned this must be stopped. Eee Negro who prepares to leave these plantations is to be cl anged with a conspiracy to go somewheres North to mobilize for-the Germans. By intimi- dation and ruthless murder it is planned to keep their chcaply paid labor at home. This “exclusive dispatch” is to provide an excuse for premeditated murders. It is an endeavor to pro- vide an alibi. It is a shameless attitude of self-defense; when no defense is necessary... It is calculated that a miscalled “Negro ° uprising” will keep the chivalric tarheelians so busy at home potting unarmed and inoffensive Negroes they will pot have time to) enlist and go gunning for Germans. That dispatch is founded on deliberate lies, no German spies are approaching Negroes. They are too busy approaching white men, North and South. The Negro’s very blackness is his best armor, for 'be- neath a black skin there never was known to:have been the heart of a black traitor and all the world knows this. &Y y be Re : i io ee eee Capt.

CHICAGO ICE CRE --- Clubs and ScrapBook By J.D.Reynolds COLORED AMERICANS AND THE WAR There is little in the reports of German attempts to incite Colored Americans to armed revolt against the United States Government that the guilty conscience of the white man need get excited about. (And even that little would be obviated were his conscience less guilty or entirely free from guilt.) The Colored man has suffered much at the hands of his white fellow citizens, but he is not yet prepared to change bed fellows or to help the Kaiser's guilty government against the democracies of the world. It was not to be expected that Colored Americans would be omitted in the German propaganda of inciting to strife and sedition in this country. But we fail to see how German gold, red with the blood of women and children and defenceless Colored multeers, can accomplish that which neither lynching, segregation, jim-crowism nor numerous other injustices have been able to effect. The Colored American is almost blindly loyal to "Old Glory," and devoted to the only country that he knows—his country no less than the white American's. Minor individual lapses there may be. Race groups far better treated in this country than the down-trpodden Colored Race have been productive of such instances. America has had its Benedict Arnold and its La Follette as well as its Lincoln and its Roosevelt. But on the whole, the Colored American will be free from the mistake of allying his cause with losing Teuton barbarism. The cause of humanity that France and her allies are supporting against the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs lies nearer to his heart. With America at last entered in the fight for freedom and democracy, intelligent Colored men must recognize that this fight is as much in their interests as in those of the small nations or other ethnic groups. What America fights for and supports in Europe she cannot consistently deny to the Colored man in America. If Belgium is to be protected, Poland reconstructed and other European oppressed nationalities freed, then in the Western Hemisphere Haiti and San Domingo must be left to enjoy their hard-won independence and, the Colored Race in America, given political and economic rights or be allowed to exercise its talents in nation building in the rich and healthy island of San Domingo on in some other quarter of its choice. Therefore only the ignorant and the vicious (with us as with other Races) will allow themselves to be misguided by German agents and so do aught that would embarrass America and her allies in the prosecution of war against the Teuton attempt at world domination. SACRAMENTO NEWS Mr. C. W. Wilso, mailing clerk in the Senate during this 42nd session of the legislature, left for his home in Los Angeles Friday. The Mothers' Club, which met at the parsonage of St. Andrew's Church on last Wednesday, was favored with a timely and inspiring address by Editor J. B. Bass, of the California Eagle. The members are highly elated over the same and feel that it will be a great inspiration for the continued efforts of this splendid organization. Mr. E. D. Johnson and R. Pankey entertained Messrs. Wilson and Bass at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson on last Thursday evening. The evening was spent at the National game. It is said that Messrs. Pankey and Johnson met their Waterloo. Sacramento Whist Club Awards Prizes On last Wednesday evening the Sacramento Whist Club entertained friends and visitors at Red Men's Hall, the occasion being the awarding of prizes as a result of the playing of the season just closed. Mr. Wm. Slaughter won 1st prize, which was a beautiful and valuable Meerschaum pipe; K. C. Brown, 2nd prize, a costly carving knife; and to Mr. De Claybrook went for booby prize, representing the The club put on one of these very best feeds prepared by Northern California's premier caterers in the person of R. A. Johnson, who is also president of the club. Wit and humor was the order of the evening. President Johnson, n a happy manner, introduced the prize winners, wh obriety responded in a happy vein, also Editor Bass, of The Eagle, and C. W. Wilson. Mrs. S. C. Scott, of 410 Twenty-second street, has been appointed correspondent of The Eagle and all persons having news for The Eagle or desiring to subscribe, she is authorized to receive and receipt for the same. Her phone number is Main 1355-R. Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wares and keeping your nose to the grindstone? Why not seek independence and comfort in life? There are many ways to attain it if you only know how. All you need is an opportunity to get into a legal and honest money-making enterprise on the ground floor and at the right time and you are in the road to success. This is Your Opportunity—The Chance of Your Life to join us in the Oil Land Development Industry—the greatest money-making industry of today. Small investors have made and are still making fabulous profits from oil and oil lands. In many instances small investors have made from $50 to $500 for every dollar invested. You can have the same opportunity if you will accept our cooperation. This is an opportunity so unique and so remarkable in its profit earning possibilities that it should awaken the interest of every person to whose attention this announcement comes. It offers an opportunity for you to invest a large or small sum in a sane, clean, economically managed company on a most profitable cooperative profit-sharing basis with all the stock risks illiminated. JUST THINK, $75 in cash or in 15 monthly payments will secure deed to eight large oil lots and an interest in all the oil out of four or more wells, to be drilled under our liberal cooperative profit-sharing plan, giving each investor a chance to secure a LARGE MONTHLY INCOME from the oil well as from the land, being situated in the center of three large oil fields in Hardin County, Texas. Said fields produced more than 10,000,000 barrels of oil in 1914-15, and more than 50 gusheries, from 1,000 to 10,000 barrels came in during that time. Single lots in the fields near by have been sold for $1,000 to $15,000. Our investor will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. HOMEWARD BOUND Notable Reception to Editor of The Eagle at Bowles Agreeable to our promise and of many requests to do so, the editor of this paper stopped off on his homeward journey to visit the thriving farming community of Bowles, about 12 miles from Fresno, on last Sunday, where he addressed the citizens of this section on last Sunday afternoon. Arriving there, we found our very able and busy presiding elder, J. H. Wilson, who was there for the purpose of holding his quarterly meeting, but on hearing of our arrival he yraciously gave way in the afternoon for us to deliver a long looked for address to the citizens of this vicinity. We felt flattered at our reception and we have every reason to feel that our efforts on this occasion left an impression which will do much toward causing the good people of this section to take on anew the great principles that mean ultimate success along all the lines of effort. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists eight lots, being one-fourth of an acre,) therefore the profit for each share will be large. The following illustration will show the profit each investor will receive out of a certain number of barrels at the present price of oil: Should our first well prove to be a 5,000 barrel producer, then each share of eight lots will receive $150 a month and should the first four wells produce 20,000 barrels, then each share eight lots will receive $600 a month. CERTAINLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER BEEN OF FERED THE PUBLIC BEFORE You probably have neglected many a money-making opportunity but dont neglect this one, it means your fortune, and is right within your reach. Seize it now. Write or call in person from 4:30 p. m. to 8 p. m. C. E. Patterson, 1446 So. San Pedro St., Los Angeles Cal., at once for our large prospectus, giving all the details with map showing location of our field, also let us know how many share we shall reserve for you. They Appreciate The Eagle Owing to the great interest and the patronage of The Eagle in this community, the editor while here appointed Miss E. V. Clark as correspondent and agent for the same. She is duly authorized to solicit subscriptions, advertisements, and to gather news. Parties in this vicinity may do business with this paper by seeing Miss Clark. THE CAFE Miss Clark is one of the splendid young women of this community, and The Eagle bespeaks for her your earnest and hearty support, to the end that the great California Eagle shall render the very best service in this particular part of its field. While in Bowles we stopped with our good friend, the Hon. C. E. Orr, who is one of the leading and most prosperous farmers in this section, and who is wide awake to the interests of his people. He takes a lively interest in everything pertaining to their success. We also beg to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. J. D. Pelkinton, who was so good as to motor us out to Friend Orr's ranch, about four miles from Bowles. He is also a staunch supporter of. The Eagle, as well as Messrs. Eason and Abernathy, two other prominent and prosperous tillers of the soil. In fact, our stay was one continued ovation, and after a day's stay, our good friend Orr turned us over to our other staunch friend, W. I. Pelkinton, who in his Studebaker touring car, breezed us out to his ranch in jig time, where we again were made to feel at home, while Mrs. Pelkinton prepared a repast for us, and presented us a box of raisins of their very own make as a token to our good wife. They proceeded with us to the city of Fresno, where we landed at the A. M. E. Church, where we again worshiped, and before leaving we were glowingly presented to the audience by Rev. J. H. Wilson, our very own presiding elder. We found him a great big, broad-gauged man, who, with all of his strength, pushed our cause to the forefront, and on Sunday afternoon, with a great big gathering present, gave way for the editor to preach a lay sermon. Some man, sure enough! SOME OF SACRAMENTO'S Wonderful Hair Grower and Complexion Beautifier.
