The California Eagle THE PRESS BUREN FOR SPARTT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN What Have I To Fight For?---The Answer LUME 30 HAT HAVE I TO FIGHT FOR?" in the breasts of many are things that rack the frame. Not thought of disloyalty enters our mind; not one note of treasured emanate from the key of their heart; not one of disservice could warp our energy. They realize the secure now upon us and know it the Ocean of War is deep. But with a seriousness that hands a response, and a long for light that must be forlounging, they ask and ask rightly: "What have I to fight? My rights have been and denied me. In the land of free and the home of the age my privileges have been in away, my opportunities ablided and my heart made bleed. My country called for—men who dared to do and—men who would give themselves and their all to check the laught of the world's common my. I responded to the call I was told that 'I could not list for this was the white n's war,' and that by a government representative. A few years later they invade my sanc- n and threaten to throw me jail if I don't register. 'Con- tency, thou art a jewel.' I journey to the capitol of the nation, where Justice should sit throned and the highest reect paid the laws of humanity, there I argue and plead for the hts of an American citizen, and the chance to fight the battles of life unmolested. Being aide hungry I walk into a lunch om; where Uncle Sam gives orders, and am told that I not be served. My country is supposedly fighting to uphold morcy and overthrow autocry—to wave the flag of liby and discard the emblem of pression. She asks me to sit and yet she tramples upon w, order and deecency and rms me at the stake while singa national air. In the name of justice, common sense, and triotism, I ask: "What have I fight for? What can move to action and inspire me to go with patriotic fervor?" Any man with a brain, any art with a love for justice, ay ul with a longing for the wellet of his country has asked myself repeatedly these questions. I admit the fight has en hard and the tension rong. Let us seek for a solu- War calls for sacrifice and sacrifice is the truest and deepest expression of life. Sacrifice reaches its divinest height when if it is laid upon the altar "Great love hath no man than this, at a man lay down his life." must not think in terms of self, harbor thoughts of enmity id malice. I have been mistreated, but those mistreating e have been the greatest sufferers. My heart has been made bleed, but now my country is dying the price. The United states is not fighting to uphold democracy, but fighting to find it what democracy means. She is been tramping in the vale desert. She has been playing part of a hypocrite. She has tied out about the Lusatania and the horrors of German barbarity, it remained silent about Waco, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee, it being purred and made clean. I believe that a divine hand is bringing out the dross. I must fight because my country needs me. She is searching for the light. She is climbing the mountain of truth and her limbs are being torn by the jagged corners of grim reality. She is being tossed on the briny deep of penalization and her heart quakes as she gazes at the whirlpools surrounding her. She is getting nearer every day to the fact that there is and must of necessity be a "Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man." She is face to face with the eternal truth that she cannot hold me down without bringing herself on a level with the deed What have I to fight for? I was born here, lived here all my days, and intend to die here. What I am my country has helped to make me, and what I intend to be will reach its blazing fruition with her assistance. Shall I be ungrateful to the land of my adoption because she has sinned? Shall I, who claim to be a Christian, thus trample upon the mandates of high heaven and judge my country by a law I would quail before myself? Shall I call for vengeance when the storm clouds have gathered the thickest, and the lightnings are crashing the hardest? What have I to fight for? I must fight to keep untarnished the glorious record of the gallant ones who tasted death that I might enjoy the proscribed privileges of today. The blood of Christopher Attucks, the martyr of 76, shouts from the Commons of Boston, "HAM! If your country needs you, answer the call!" The bullet-riddled, cannon-smothered heroes of Carrizal lift their blood-soaked voices on the shore of Death's river crying "HAM, be true to your trust. The fight may be hard, but the victory draweth near." Son's of HAM, fight on! Progress is made by walking the plains of setbacks, discouragements, and disappointments. Achievement comes to those able to endure hardships, privations, and reverses. Grit, courage, sacrifice, loyalty, patriotism will conquer, say what we may. Let us fight with a divine discontent in our hearts, and respond to the man. If my country needs me, my life, my all will be given. REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. ODD FELLOWS GIVE DISTRICT GRAND MASTER A. DUMAS JONES ROYAL WELCOME. The various branches of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows met at their hall on last Wednesday to receive the Distritet Grand Master on the occasion of his annual visit. A special program had been arranged for the occasion, consisting of musical numbers and short addresses. Rev. E. W. Kinchen acted as master of ceremonies and in a highly creditable manner presided over the occasion. Short addresses by the District Grand Noble Governess, Mrs. B. G. Ransom, of Pasadena, and Past N. G. Mrs. Eliza Warner featured the evening. The principal address, of course, was that of Grand Master Jones, who most forcefully and eloquently portrayed the progress of the Order and its future outlook, and said that he stood for a safe and sane endowment law. He also made an appeal for the widows and orphans of the order whose husbands and fathers had lost their lives in the trenches of Europe. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served and much credit is due the committees from Los Angeles, Golden Rule and Sterling Light lodges for the manner in which this very creditable affair was conducted San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 9, 1917 MADAM C, J. WALKER, THE WORLDDS MOST WONDERFUL COLORED WOMAN, AT THE FORMER HOME IN INDIANAPOLIS, VISITED BY A FREEMAN REPRESENTATIVE — INTERESTING GLIMPSES ARE CAUGHT DURING THE INTERVIEW — BUILDING A HOME OF STEEL, TILE AND STUCCO ON THE HUDSON, NEW YORK—WILL BE LEFT AS A LEGACY TO THE COLORED RACE. (By Wm. Lewis in the Freeman) While very much has been said of Madam Walker, the well known hair culturist, none too much has been said of her as a business woman, of her charitable side, of her Christiarly and womanly attributes. Indeed it will be difficult to even imagine a woman of the Negro race who so fully meets all of the demands of womanhood as it is conceived to be at its best. She has done so much, accomplished so much, amassed so much wealth and in the meanwhile being such an upright woman that many of her own race have had their doubts about the truthfulness of it all. Madam Walker is a reality; no dream. White publications speak of the achievements and success-the of the members of their race. The Sunday papers teem with individuals of the kind, and because everyone wishes to know of those who have done things. The Madam is the most remarkable Colored woman of the world today. It may not be generally conceded, but it is true just the same. If we think of our race apart from the white people, and our poor opportunity to amass wealth, then she easily equals the great millionaires of the white race. In fact she is making rapid strides toward the millionaire class, regardless of her race, being safely beyond the half million mark at this time. The amassing of wealth is a distinction in itself even if the severe moralists say otherwise. The individual of wealth is of interest to all. The world is eager to know the ways of the rich; that they are of our race gives them extra distinction. So when I, as a representative of the Freeman, the leading publication of the race, made it my business to call on Mada mWalker, I had in mind her various great qualities, holding that she is due publicity, and as much for her race's sake as for her own. I found her rather reticent, modest in what she had to say. I found her a real woman, with affectation and ains. She is splendidly poised; wears her wealth and honors with ease—seeming as if she had all for all of the years. She is of good education, but does not try to attract attention to herself on account of it. Much of her education was self-acquired, and the better for her, since she took on the qualities that she saw she stood mostly in need of. In short she birthed herself in this respect, and she made a most excellent job of it. Madam Walker can hold her own in any gathering of women. Her charities are now an old story; she gives right and left, and in good substantial ways. It is a part of her religion—almost a fetish with her. Her belief that the Lord loves a cheerful giver is so strong that one feels like smiling at the simplicity. She gives liberally; she gives in the Christian spirit—when it is not seen of men. During her recent trip south she said that she met a colored family of seven or eight persons who had been arrested on a flimsy charge. They were on a train in charge of an officer. Their poor appearance excited her pity, so she called one of them aside and quietly slipped a ten dollar note which she had placed in one of her circulars into a small book which was carried by the prisoner. The officer in charge told her she was not permitted to speak to prisoners. She told him that she had given the woman a circular, and then offered him, the officer, one. He accepted it good naturedly and the matter ended. Since she has been in Indianapolis the Madam has received a letter from the unfortunate woman thanking her for the splendid act. Thus in many instances she serves when there are no witnesses to the deeds. If Madam Walker is not a thorough Christian woman this community of Indianapolis has yet to find it out. Nor has any ugly stories follwed her from other cities. She has stood popularity's test and which means microscopic scrutiny with the hope of finding something to advance that will check her career. She has been weighed in the balances and has not been found wanting. I asked her what about the ill feeling between herself and Mrs. Pope Malone, the St. Louis hair cultist. She was unwilling that I should rehearse the story which she related in full. She declared that she meant the best, merely wishing the banishment of the unpleasant feeling of years, insisting that the past be forgotten whatever it held and that friendship should exist as it became, the two women who are without doubt the leading business women of the race. "We are succeeding," the madam said, "and that should be sufficient." She would like to see a national organization of the hair growers just as other wide interests are organized. She thinks that it would be helpful to all. That the two women were not on the best of terms was seen at the Indianapolis meeting, which was held by Mrs. Pope-Malone Thursday evening of last week at Bethel A. M. E. church, and which feeling was intensified by the result of a meeting at Rev. Dr. Parish's church, Louisville, the previous week. The Madam would not consent to the publicity of the quarrel. At the opening of Mrs. Pope-Malone's Indianapolis meeting Madam Walker suggested that her bookkeeper preside at the piano, further evidence of a desire for harmony. It appears that the women differ as to proprietorship of such meetings, based, of course on the past misunderstanding. The Madam extends the olive branch of peace, and which she feels to do out of her Christian heart and understanding. And she may well be believed since she is secure from want, and enjoys the respect and confidence of all that know her. The greatest of the race have been her visitors—distinguished churchmen, distinguished statesmen, distinguished school people from Dr. Booker T. Washington down. I found her in one of an elegant suite of rooms at her Indianapolis home. She was recently from her tour south and which she will resume this week. Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia will be her field after which she will go to her New York home now under process of erection. A stream of visitors is the scene at her door. Among those who called during my interview were Mr. Johnson, editor of the New York Age, and Attorneys Ransom and Brockenburr. The Madam still retains her Indianapolis properties which are valued at many thousands of dollars. She has also acquired a new renting property in New York City, Central Park, West. It is of fifteen apartments, strictly modern, renting at $5,500 yearly. It is well known through previous mention that the Madam is building a magnificent residence on the Hudson, America's most classic stream, the ground alone costing $75,000. The house, the plans of which she had with her, will of course easily be the finest ever owned by a colored person. It will be of steel and tile, with stucco exterior, Italian roof of delicate cream color; three floors. The rooms will be of splendid proportions, spacious and which together with the ornamental exterior, according to the plans, re- CANNOT minds one of those famous French Chateaues where the families of the erstwhile rich noble folk hied themselves at times from the eyes of the vulgar throngs. Music will be incorporated, built in the house, a great instrument with a varied capacity—one or several—so arranged that the music will filter through such rooms as desired at the touch of a button. The flower conservatory will be a part of the house plan. The garage will be apart from the house. A landscape gardener will be employed. Eight persons as help will be required, and for whom rooms are arranged on the attic floor. This home all told will stand the Madam $200,000, and as to architectural appearance will compare favorably with the best on the Hudson. She is proud to announce that the architect is a Negro, now lieutenant V. W. Tandy, a graduate of Tuskegee and of Cornell, N. Y. His former home was Lexington, Ky. The Madam is grateful to her Creator that he has permitted great good to flow interruptedly to her. In turn she will give the beautiful palace in trust to her race, after the life of herself and that of her daughter. As she thinks of it now it will be held in perpetuam in memoriam of herself—a museum or monument—where in after years members of her race may pilgrimage to it, thinking of it also as an industrial shrine that will be the laggard's spur, prodding him to renewed energy because of the realism of such a grand result. There will be no business associated with the new home, strictly residence. The New York business under the management of her daughter, is not less than twenty miles from the residence. I count it my extreme good fortune to be numbered as among her friends. In this capacity and as a newspaper man who will look over the home with the view of giving it publicity I am invited there by the Madam when it is completed and occupied. My "commission" as before stated, will be to give the public further information of the world's greatest woman, of her home, of her ways, especially of that fairy palace which reared up at the behest of her own brain and hands. PHOENIX, ARIZONA We your Committee on Resolutions, report the following: Rev. Dr. Walker has been pastor of the Second Baptist church of Phoenix, Arizona, for thirteen months. His work has far excelled that of any pastor we have ever had in every respect, having raised in that time $$1846.45; paid off the church debt, and burned the mortgage, and he leaves the church clear of debt in every way, except a few small bills that can be easily met. Rev. Dr. Walker resigns of his own accord, because the church fails to see how they could raise his salary to $75.00 per month. We commend him as an efficient financier, and one among the best preachers we have in the West. Adopted at the close of the service by a standing vote of the entire congregation, this 3rd day of June, 1917. The busy thoroughfare of Central avenue was thrown into a furore of excitement on last Monday evening at a lodge meeting which was scheduled to meet at the Masonic Hall near 12th and Central. Mr. Gatliff attacked his wife with a huge knife. She was badly cut, also Mr. E. A. Baldwin who endeavored to keep Gatliff from doing her harm. Gatliff and wife have been estranged Had it not been for Mr. Baldwin who risked his own life to prevent a tragedy. Gatliff is in jail and faces a serious charge of attempted murder. TWO PRACTICAL LESSONS WELL TAUGHT The first, that when we are unite to a man no good work is too great. Second, the jitney has been taught and may possibly learn that we have the same feelings and appreciation of good treatment as any other human. It is the first that concerns us most. For in the second the only loss to be experienced is by the jitney, and that is only a monetary consideration, which is transitory. In the first our manly pride of being a man among men was attacked if our face happened to be a little too dark. We are passed up by the driver while the jitney was partially filled, only to make insulting remarks about us to his patrons. The farmer complains of the weeds, but no weeds, no corn. He would fail to cultivate the ground, moisture would sink away, and the corn would wither. So the same conclusion may be drawn from Tuesday's vote. The common insult cast upon us all caused us for ONCE to be UNITED to a man. The same humiliation, the same cutting remarks, the same debasing campaign literature applied to us ALL, whether we rode in the jitneys or walked. The only sad feature, and there is a question about it being sad, is that we wait until some insult is heaped upon us before we are willing to unite. But it is, better that we be driven to the foot of the cross, and the ballot seems to be our means to the cross in this world, than to be out in green pastures separated one from the other. Some say we are too weak numerically.. Others that it does "not affect me; I get by wherever I want to go." And the great majority say: "Oh, what's the use? It is not worth the effort." There is no failure in good works. The harvest may be tardy, but it never fails. For years and years we have been advocating a united stand for an equal chance in the commercial world. We are not welcomed in any quarter now. Even the right to work is being denied in many places. But some day we shall learn from Tuesday's work that our united effort at the ballot box along with our friends' assistance, it matters not what his objective point might have been, will bring results. May we take Uncle Sam's advice and get together for whatever may come? We are not living in an age of luck, but pluck. The world admires one who stands for right although he stands alone. It hates a "slacker," a quitter, a runner. May we not take a lesson from Tuesday's jitney vote and apply it along all racial efforts for good! L. H. SHACKELFORD. LAST SAD RITES TO MRS W. M. BYNUM The funeral services of Mrs. W. M. Bynum was held at the 8th and Towne Ave. church Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. J. L. Craw officiating, assisted by Rev. Dr. Prowd, J. D. Gordon, J. W. Price, E. A. Johnson, Rev. J. Anderson. The funeral was under the auspices of the S. M. T. It was one of the largest funerals held from this historic church. The choir, to its full capacity, carried huge, bouquets and the other floral offerings were most beautiful. The service was indeed a fitting tribute of respect to this very useful member of our community.

Pastor Mason, of Memphis, held us spellbound for thirty days and nights, his thousands of hearers. The meeting closed with about 3000 present. The contributions were good; above $300 were given to Pastor Mason for his services, and above this amount was left for the congregation and pastor. On Tuesday of the second week of the meeting, the friends and members of Pastor Driver's congregation presented Pastor Drive with a five-passenger touring car.—Chevrolet by name—which was another act of appreciation among the many given to the pastor for his services. Many thanks are given to the members of the various churches for their kindnesses and their participation in the meeting. Services will be resumed at the church at 20th and Hooper. All are welcome. LINCOLN MEMÓRIAL CONGRE- GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Avenue E. E. Lighter. Pastor Glorious services were held throughout the day at this church on last Sunday. The pastor occupied the pulpit at both services, speaking in the morning on "The Bequest of Jesus," taking as his text, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth give I unto you." John 14:27. At the evening service the subject was "Little Foxes that Spoil." We were glad to note the visitors in the audience at both services. You always have a hearty welcome here. The Children's day exercises will be held a week from Sunday on the 17th. The regular services on next Sunday. Sunday School, 10 a. m.; preaching, 11:15 a. m. and 8 p. m. Morning, "A Man Who Turned Aside." Evening, "The Heart's Beaten Paths." Christian Endeavor, 7 p. m., topic, "Sins of the Mind." Rom. 8:1-11. Mrs. Cora Dennis, leader. A cordial welcome to all. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Every first Sunday brings showers of blessings to Independent Church of Christ. The pastor took as his theme for the day, "The Suffering of Christ and His Denial." This is a sad but beautiful salamn, delivered as it was it appealed to the hearts of all present, and 12 persons connected themselves with the church during the day. The public collection amounted to $187.15. On next Sunday the sermon of the Foresters will take place at 2 o'clock. Other services as usual. All are invited to be present. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH 'Pico and Paloma Streets Rev B. C. Robeson, Pastor The pastor's discourse Sunday was on "Service." "Every man," se said, "has some particular work to do in this world that no other man can do, and when God creates man, He creates work for him." Also "That it is divine decree that by the sweat of his brow shall he earn his bread." Many pointed illustrations and ideas were called into service during his sermon. He lashed mightily the slackers and back-biters and wound up on sitting down on the "jitneys." He said, "All of our members who can vote and don't vote Tuesday, if I find it out—well, if I should meet you on the street, it will be mighty hard for me to speak to you—Yes, mighty hard." Miss Pettiford of Ohio, the versatile reader of national reputation, will give a program with the assistance of local talent at the church Thursday evening, June 7, 1915. The choir, with new books and new anthems add much to the impressiveness of the service. Recently the pastor's brother in New Jersey, who is attending college chose the ministry as his calling—it was a constant prayer of the pastor that he should—and when he received the letter from him wherein it stated that he had, it need not be said that the pastor was jubilant. The trip to Mt. Lowe to be given by Sister Chancy Jones will be held soon, tickets $1.50 for the round trip. The last one given there, many went and enjoyed themselves. The tickets are selling fast, and this looks as if it will be the biggest and best ever. Sunday at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m., Rev. W. W. Matthews, Presiding Elder of the Los Angeles district, will preach. Sunday School at 9:45 a. m. Classes for grownups. Communion Sunday the presiding elder will administer the same. Good ventilation. Come early. All are welcome. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH MT.

The history of the church was given by Brother C. H. Van Norton, after which remarks of early Zion were made by Brother S. Porter and Rev. Evans. Zions choir which has always held up the banner, was still found to be holding it Sunday when she rendered her beautiful songs and anthems for the afternoon. The city pastors, Drs. Rozier, Tilman, Hughes, Holt and others, made some very encouraging remarks, which showed their love and appreciation for Zion. At the evening services the Sunday School, Missionary Societies, B. Y. P. U., Literary, Aid, Benevolent and Daniel Band gave the history of their organizations. The day was crowned at Zion by six new members added in 2018 which validate for baptism. Also Thursday survived classes Nos. 2 and 3 ful tableaux scenes at this church. Among the leading characters which took part in this concert were Misses Lowery, Wilson, Albritton and Van Norton. We also wish to thank our many members and friends that supported this concert. CHURCH NOTES FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner Eighth and Towne Ave. Rev. J.

Four of these were converts. These are "dollar money" times and the pastor is delighted with the spirit of loyalty that has caused to many to pay this annual benevolent claim already. Every dollar of this money paid adds speed to the ship that bears the gospel messenger to distant lands to proclaim the word. Every member of the church is expected to pay this claim. Come prepared to do so Sunday if possible. "Children's day" is Sunday, June 10th. Special sermon by pastor to the children, parents and to the business men and women of the city at 11 o'clock.

Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church. Rev. A. P. Shaw, D. D., Pastor Sunday was annual rally day at Wesley M. E. church. The pastor and membership are rejoicing over the splendid effort. In spite of these strenuous, uncertain times, nearly two thousand dollars were raised ($1988.77) including $35 raised on current expenses. Sufficient funds have bee received since Sunday to run the effort over the $2000.00 mark. The fourth Sunday in June will be gleaning day on which we hope to make the effort total $2500.00. This Sunday will be communion Sunday. At 11 a. m. the pastor's subject will be "The Time to Shout." At 7:45 p. m. the subject will be "Come Down from the Cross." The financial honor roll will not be closed until after the fourth Sunday. All persons desiring to finish out their ten dollars may do so before that time. A special effort will be made to get every member of the church on the financial roll. Let us have over three hundred communicants Sunday. Come praying that God may specially bless the services of the day. All are welcome. THE BAPTIST UNION Monday's session at the Baptist Union was an excellent one with a large attendance of ministers and laymen. The Union is creating quite an interest and much is being done in uniting the forces of the Baptist ministry. There were two enjoyable features in the Union last Monday. One was that the lion and the lamb laid down together. The other was the address given by W. H. M. Dickerson, entitled "Would Our Church Do Better by Consulting the Baptist Ministers Union Before Calling a Pastor?" The address created a lovely discussion. It was enjoyed by all. Rev.

Send marmor for only SOCIETY IT WAS INDEED A JOLLY STAG One of the most pretentious and elaborate stag parties ever given in Los Angeles was given by W. R. Wills of the Southern Hotel, near 12th and Central, on last Wednesday evening. A galaxy of business and professional men cast the perplexities of the war and high cost of living aside for the time being and spent the evening with their host. As one constant scream, each guest vied with the other in the production of wit and humor. But for story telling the consensus of opinion was that Watson Burns, the philosopher carried off the honors of the evening. Not far behind him, however, was the one by J. W. White in his homily on "Chapple Henderson, the Englishman." In fact, each guest seemed keyed to the occasion and each one furnished a number, all of which was of the highest class. The menu furnished was one often heard of but infrequently realized, and consisted of everything that was obtainable. The tables and room were beautifully decorated and the service such as only the people from the Southland can give. Attorney C. A. Jones was the toastmaster for the occasion and brought out the fine points of the occasion in a superb manner Others present were: Thos. Pollock, E. A. Joseph, Dr. W. A. Tarleton, A. L. Cockrane, Dr. H. A. Browning, S. L. Prentice, A. J. Haynes, S. P. Dones, H. Shannon, of the Eagle, all of whom, with a lasting memory, will never forget the unstinted hospitality of Mr. W. R. Wills and his estimable wife on this occasion. Last Monday afternoon at the hope of Mrs. J. L. Elwoods, the Married Ladies Art Guild entertained in honor of Mrs. C. A. Bass, who is to leave soon for Rhode Island on a visit to her mother. She was entertained with a pleasing literary and musical program. Those participating were: Mrs. J. H. Patterson, Mrs. N. F. McMickins, Mrs. Malcon Patton, Miss Maudetta Rosemond, Mrs. T. Little and Miss Jaanita Patton. At the close of the program the ladies were served a delicious menu consisting of chicken in aspeck jelly, olives, cheese straw, coffee, ice cream and cake which with the beautiful festoon of flowers carried out the colors of the Guild, corn and ceres. Mrs. Bass responded in splendid terms of appreciation. The club wishes Mrs. Bass a pleasant trip and an early return. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Hulbert and the hostess for the menu and program of the afternoon. Miss Maggie Woods and Mr. Earl Crain were quietly married at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. Maggie Crain, 1001 E. 8th St., Thursday afternoon. Only members of the family were present. Dr. H. D. Prowd tied the knot, and now Mr. and Mrs. Crain, the newlyweds, are happily domiciled at the home of Mr. Crain's mother at 1001 E. 8th St. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE TO OPEN NEW HOTEL On or about the 15th of this month a new and up to date hotel will be open to the public. Mr. and Mrs. F. K. Hines arrived in this city from Birmingham, Ala., on the 9th day of October, 1912, and in a few months later went into the rooming house business, Their first location was 1040 East 9th street. After occupying that building for a short time it proved to be too small for their many friends that wanted to room with them. They rented the large two-story building at Nos. 726-8 Ceres avenue. They ran that house successfully for about two years. After the expiration of said time it proved to be too small for their rapidly growing business. They bought out the rooming house just across from them, No. 725 Ceres avenue, making three two-story houses operated all at the same time. And now the three houses have proven to be too small. So Mr. Hines has secured a long lease on the large building, No. 577 Central avenue, where they have more than thirty nice airy rooms, beautifully lighted, instant heaters, hot or cold bath at all times. In connection with the hotel Mr. and Mrs. Hines will also run the rooming houses Nos. 726-8 Ceres avenue. Mr. Hines in discussing his success in business said it was to a very large degree due to the sticktoitiveness of his wife. When it comes to "business Mr. and Mrs. Hines have but few equals, so we predict for them, wheresoever they may go or what THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Investment Co.

WILSON, city. city 1989 A107470 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 years of research and study the entire 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 Necessity for some more modern comfortable and sanitary relief from 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. IN CONCLUSION 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, 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 try 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. Will fit all trains and will meet the approval of the traveling public, Board of Health and Railway Commission. H. P. GONSOULAND June 19th! June 19th!

The present City Council has just witnessed a practical demonstration of the Power of the Press. We are producing in these columns a letter from Hugh E. Macbeth on the labor situation in this state. The same is timely and is a way out for helping to solve the labor problem in this section. The election results are gratifying indeed to those who stand for fair play and justice when the pernicious Jitney was put out of business by an overwhelming vote of the people. General Pershing has arrived at the battle front in France and now it is most certain that this famed warrior will call for some of our black troopers and when they arrive there will be a "hot time in the old town." Regrets at the defeat of Senator H. H. Lyons for the City Council are universal among the plain common everyday people, and it is very evident he met his Waterloo at the hands of the silk stocking brigade. But we opine that by and by he will yet come into his own. Up at th ecourt house economys axe has fallen with a sickening thud, and the heads of five janitors have dropped into the discard. Of course, to the unitiated it is so strange that the humblest of all the county's employees must be the first ones selected in the great economic drive and many of the people wonder at these things and pause for an answer, but the powers that be will only shake their heads and remind you that it is a drive for economy and no one must get in the way, even though it is the lowly janitor that starts the drive. The question has been asked of us what are we going to do about conditions on Central avenue. It is claimed that gambling is flourishing on this thoroughfare like the proverbial Green Bay tree, but we surmise that the anti dice shaking ordinance will now at least put a quietus on the crap games and reduce the pernicious practice to a minimum. At any event the Eagle at all times stands for law and order and we must insist that Central avenue shall have the fullest protection from those who choose to violate the law. OBJECT LESSON The united efforts of the colored voters proved the balance that swayed the result on the amendment regulating the Jitney Bus at the election on last Tuesday. The amendment carried by something like 10,000 votes, so with a change of 5000 votes the result would have been the opposite. Therefore this is a practical demonstration as to what the colored people can accomplish in this as well as other communities when they put up a solid front. If on no other thing in this city they were united in their support of the amendment to put the Jitney out of business; the ministers, the press and the laity, all with a mighty rush and a solid front made possible a mighty victory against this pernicious evil. So why not keep the habit and get together on all things that stand for the uplift of mankind. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE To the Honorable California State Council of Defense, Gentlemen:— We have read with a deal of interest the alarming newspaper reports of agricultural labor shortage throughout the State of California. Our interest in these reports has been heightened to the degree of alarm by the suggestion which has come from not a few sources that our California farmers meet the shortage of farm help by importing Coolie labor. Realizing the great menace to our labor situation in the State of California, which the importation of Coolies in any large number would involve, and realizing further the fact that our farm labor needs can be met from the labor resources which already exist in our State, we take this means of calling to the attention of your honorable Council the existence of at least one large, ef- efficient and thoroughly dependable farm labor asset of the state of California, which to date has been practically unused. We refer to the thousands of colored laborers, men and women, of the State of California, who could by proper marshalling, for example on the part of our splendid State Employment Bureau be made a terrific force for great soil production in our State. The colored citizens of California are by heritage and general instinct an agrarian people. Our State employment bureau in Los Angeles, for example, through the instrumentality of an agent who knows the habits and customs of our colored citizens and who knows their peculiar value as farm helpers could do more to assist in the harvesting of the great fruit crops of California than any other single effort now being put forth to solve this problem. The colored citizens of California are "doing their bit," along the line of preparation for the battlefield. They are ready and willing to do their bit on the farms of California. What say you, gentlemen of the California State Council of Defense? Yours for victory, THE MASTER OF THE WORLD Rev. W. J. J. Byers, of San Jose, Cal. The many friends of Rev. W. J. J. Byers, former pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, this city, will be delighted to know of the magnificent success that he has made at San Jose. The church which he pastors, we are informed, is growing by leaps and bounds, going there he faced a church barren of a Sunday school. It now boasts of one of the best in that section and the general church life of that city has been enhanced very much. Some question may have arisen in the minds of your readers during the past few weeks why I have not been saying something concerning the Progressive Educational Association, and its workings. To those I will say that for two reasons I have remained silent, viz: First, not having the time at my disposal, and secondly, waiting for a decision of the Court concerning the validity of the title to the lands in question. My time is still very much occupied, but now that the Court has ruled, I take this opportunity of informing your readers what that decision was. In the outset, I desire to say that the title to the Arizona lands in absolutely perfect, and in order that every one may understand the same and the full import of the decision of the Court, it will be necessary for me to go into detail, and I desire your readers to follow me closely, so that they may be in possession of the knowledge as it came to me. The pueblo of Santa Rosa brought an action in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia against the United States government, or in other words against Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, and Clay Tallman, Commissioner of the General Land Office, in equity to enjoin the last two men from undertaking in their official capacity to open its lands to sale, entry and settlement, as public lands of the United States, which lands include those secured by the Progressive Educational Association. This action was dismissed, whereupon the pueblo of Santa Rosa, plaintiff in the case, prayed an appeal to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Case No. 2981, which on April 27th last was disposed of by the court in favor of the Plaintiff, reversing the former decree with costs, and the cause was remanded with directions to enter a decree restraining defendants from offering for entry or listing for entry or sale as part of the public do main of the United States, any of said lands under any land or mineral land law of the United States, and requiring, in so far as lies within their power or control, the correction of the records of the Land Department to prevent in as large degree as possible any further infringement upon the property rights of Plaintiff. The Court's decision places beyond question title to the lands in the name of the Indians, from whom our deeds came, and I have deemed it the part of wisdom to enlighten prospective buyers who read the Eagle so that their minds may be at ease, and as I cannot write to each one personally, who has inquired of me, I take this means of giving details. The decision of the Court was delivered by Mr. Justice Van Orsdel, as follows: "It is averred in the bill that plaintiff is, and from time immemorial has been, a town known by the common name of Pueblo of Santa Rosa, composed of civilized, sedentary, agricultural and pastoral inhabitants who are Pueblo Indians, and have been known as such, residing in permanent houses in a village of permanent location, built upon lands described in the bill, which are situated within the county of Pima, in the State of Arizona, which lands, it is averred, were granted and conceded to said pueblo 'by the laws and customs of the Indians antedating the Spanish discovery of America and also by the laws of Spain and Mexico.' These lands are part of the territory ceded to the United States by the Gadsen Treaty. "It is also averred that the inhabitants of this pueblo have from time immemorial lived in communal life, and hove governed themselves and their community accordingly, with definite laws and customs having the force of law which have always been obeyed by the inhabitants, and that at stated intervals they assemble in common council composed of the adult male inhabitants of the pueblo and legislate on matters concerning the pueblo and its inhabitants by rules and decisions having the force of ```markdown ``` "Stop that headache! it's stopping your work" Pain and Ill Health rob you of all your efficiency.

A lively Sunday School marked the beginning of a great service. The teachers showed themselves equal to the task, while Pastor Holt proved to be a present help in "time of trouble." A crowded house listened to the pastor's introductory sermon "Why I am what I am"—Acts 28:22. "We desire to bear what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect, we know everywhere it is spoken against." In an unbroken chain of scripture argument, pastor Holt made clear his position, and that held by the church of his choice. The evening service closed with shouts of praise, and three souls claimed Christ. Hear him next Sunday "Build on the Rock." Rev. Holt will preach at Metropolitan Church, Pasadena, Sunday at 3 p. m.

Scientist From The ScrapBook By J.D.Reynolds. THE NEGRO WOMAN When I sit down to consider How the Negro made his way, Up the road of persecution In the night and in the day: I am forced to see injustice, In each avenue of life, Where the Negro woman's virtue Strives to conquer in the strife. More than all the other women In these grand United States, Tis an awful tale of slander, That the Negro woman relates. More than all the ills of bondage, Though from bondage she is free, There is something that confront her— It is immorality You have seen throughout the South land, Mulattoes among our race, Sons of Ham, without some other, Ne'eer could cause this deep disgrace. But it was the Southern white man, That caused such a thing to be; Robed our women of their virtue, Just because they were not free. Negro women during slavery Gave existence every day. To mulattoes by the hundreds. And there was none who could say nay; For if they were not submissive They were beaten till they would bleed. bleed. Then forced, while in this condition To please their master's brutal greed. So today we find mulattoes All throughout this hemisphere. Such is lowering Negro manhood, It will ruin us, friends, I fear; For within our women's virtue, There our strength and life doth lie And if it is killed or trampled What have we to do but die? When a cry of shame is uttered, That a Negro has disgraced The virtue of a maiden fair— Mobs slaughter in our race; But if you would count the persons In the gang that does the shame, You'd not find a being in it Who has not ruined some woman's name. Do we find this self-same protection For the woman of our race? Can the Negro woman's virtue Get its vengeance for disgrace? Can they go in day or night time, To the courtrooms of the land And get justice? No, they tell them: "You're an unprotected band!" If a Negro man is faithful To a dusky malen's name, And defies these hellish spirits— Then he's murdered for the same, So you see there's no protection For the daughters of our race— Greater ill as never measured, None but her meets this disgrace. Write your name upon the limestone, And the water bids it fly; Carve your name upon Gibraltar, It will last till ages die. As that is, well, so is virtue, Just as said about a vine. "Just the way that it is started, This is how it will incline." Though abusive this injustice, Our Lord will win the fight, If we pray to Him in earnest, He will make our burdens light. So just let the Southern white man Plan our Negro women's shame- God that rules with eyes of justice Will some day regain her name. Facts From the Scene Thursday evening, May 31, after three days of spasmodic rioting, everything seemed to be quieted down in East St. Louis. The trouble started nearly two months ago when the strike was called at the Aluminum Ore Works and strikers were displaced by Negroes. It is said that a movement was immediately set on look by the unions to stop importation of the Negroes because it was ```markdown ``` feared that they would be died by employers in the event of strikes, which were scheduled to take place in the early summer. Several meeting have been held and everything that could be brought into play, except mob violence, had been exhausted. During these six or eight weeks of the strike, the Negroes were getting a firm hold on the industrial situation; and strikers were getting weaker and hungrier each day. Many of the industries have declared against unions; and the Negro labor, honest and conscientious, was fast winning the hearts of the managers of the firms. On Monday night a meeting was called at the City Hall by the strikers and an appeal was made to the Mayor to do something for the hungry crowd or something would be done by it. The blame for the situation was shifted from one source to another. Some said it was the manufacturers; others laid it on the Negroes; and still others said it was the railroad. So there was a division among them. It was suggested during the meeting to "get" the railroad men; and another was to "drive out the Negroes and we will get our jobs back with higher wages." This latter suggestion seemed to meet the popular chord. By this time the eloquence of the agitatofs had made the mob ferocious. Coincident with the dismissal of the meeting, a report was circulated, into the already inflamed minds of those present, that two Negroes had killed a white man. This acted as a signal to go get the Negro. The crowd marched to the intersections of all street cars which run into Broadway near the bridge, and there they gathered stricks, rocks and bricks and attacked every Negro seen coming or going, on the cars. The Negroes were caught unprepared to defend themselves; and most of them found on the streets were assaulted by the mobs. No fatalities were reported. Argus Reporter on the scene early Tuesday Morning and mingled with the crowd that made up the mob and as they formed little groups and discussed their plans for the coming night, of course everybody with a white face was accepted as an enemy of the Negro; and there was no hesitancy in telling just what they were expecting to do that night. Those that made up the mob showed their usual cowardice by urging the police and the city officials to disarm the Negroes. The police were the principal ones appealed to. In some instances the police were heard to say, "Boys, I am with you." This especial appeal to the informant, as plaid clothes men seemed to try to do their duty by advising the mob to disperse; and on several occasions told them that the Negroes were arming themselves and "hell" would be to pay if they went down in the Negro settlement. Negroes Being Searched.—The Negroes woke up to the situation Tuesday and fully realized just what they were up against, when all Negroes who attempted to cross the Mississippi River to St. Louis were searched for arms and it was stated that the Mayor of East St. Louis, at the request of the mob, had telephoned the Chief of Police of St. Louis to issue an order to prohibit the sale of arms and munion to Negroes. This order was soon put into effect and Negroes were refused arms at the stores, but somehow they seemed to find quite a large number anyway. Another difficulty met by Negroes was on their return to East St. Louis. Police searched every Negro who passed over the two main bridges; and as a result, many of them were caught with the "goods" on them. One auto of arms was sent by the way of the McKinley bridge; and many other schemes were devised by the Negroes in their effort to protect themselves. Beat at Own Game.—A little meeting was called and it was told how the Colored people were being discriminated against; and it was suggested that members of the Colored Race who were of light complexion could easily pass and repass unmolested; and that was a solution to the problem. On Tuesday night one of the Argus reporters mingled with the crowd and saw the military men come on the scene. They, too, were seen and heard to say, "We don't have to see everything." Several military men were arrested by the East St. Louis police plain clothes men for inciting the riot. The members of the mob only moved in a small area for they were afraid. After several attempts to get a leader, it was suggested to go get "Ruby." Ruby seemed to be a notorious character; and Ruby came with a gun in her hands and the mob cheered and she started toward the Negro settlement. No one tried to disarm her, but she went a few blocks and when she was told that "death was down the hill," she stood and attempted to discharge the gun in the direction that she wanted to go, but the gun failed to go off. She turned and swore and threw it on the street and that was the end of "Ruby." There has been much said about the work of the mob. What they did to the Negro was much exaggerated. As soon as the Negro was able to arm himself and protect his home, the whims of the mob were no longer a terror. One prominent Colored man was heard to say, that "as long as the state or United States troops do not disarm us, we are able to take care of ourselves." He stated, however, that the Negroes not given protection. The St. Louis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People took the matter up with the Governor of Illinois and made the charge that the Militia was discriminating in favor of the whites. It is also understood that a committee waited on the Chief of Police of St. Louis to protest against the discrimination on the part of the police in searching all Colored people returning over the bridge, while the whites were allowed to go unmolested. The chief promised to correct this condition. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH The services last Sunday were spit-ited all day. The pastor preached both morning and evening in his us- Readers Attention Are you satisfied with working all your life at starvation wages 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 same, 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 as 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 gushers, 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 investors will have the same chance, after we have brought in one or two wells, to sell their land for just as much or more. We have only one thousand shares in all, (each share consists of 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 of eight lots will receive $600 a month.

E. CHURCH NOTES Very large audiences greeted the pastor at both services last Sunday. Rev. Dyett preached at morning service, while at evening Rev. Wm. Prince delivered an acceptable sermon. A number of strangers and out of town visitors was noted at both services. The entertainment of last Thursday night under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid was a decided success in every way. The drama by the Gibe Club was the elicited that has been seen in the city for some time. The Aid chorus and the girl's drill were highly appreciated. The pastor notes with pleasure the receipt of dollar money paid early.
