U. B. F. and S. M. T. Hold Annual Session At San Diego ESTABLISMED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 VOLUME 30 The 12th Annual Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and the fifth Annual Grand Temple of the S. M. S. of California, held one of the most inspiring conventions ever witnessed in the Fraternal world in this State. The sessions were carried on in the city of San Diego, August 28, 29 and 30. One of the largest delegations among secret organizations left by way of the Santa Fe route on Monday night to attend this grand assembly. Tuesday morning, the 28th, ultimo, found the streets of San Diego filled with men and women with their delegate badges on and one could readily see that the U. B. F. and S. M. S. were well represented. Buch business of varied importance was transacted by both the Grand Lodge and the State Grand Temple. One of the main features of these bodies was the report of the rapid growth of the financial funds of the Mutual Aid and Mortuary Departments. The Mutual Aid Department has more than $2700 in the bank and the Mortuary Department has something over $630. These departments have been established within the last five years, and pays death claims of $150.00 and $75.00, respectively. Five claims were paid from these departments during the past year. 1930 MRS. SARAH P. SHORES Elected Grand Princess The Juvenile departments of this order in the State of California, have cash amounting to more than $400.00. There are four Juvenile Departments in the State, two in Los Angeles, one in Watts and one in San Diego. The Temples over the State have 375 members. The order is progressing rapidly, a Temple being ready for institution in Pasadena and another being pushed to the front in one of the suburban towns near Los Angeles. The election of officers was carried on very creditably. Following is a partial list of the officers of the State Grand Lodge: State Grand Master, Thomas Norman. Deputy Grand Master, A. L. Tilton.

The next Grand Session will be observed in the city of Los Angeles. Had Father Taylor, the founder of this noble order, ben numbered among those who attended the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple, held in San Diego, this past month, he would have looked over his work and gladly say, "My labors were not in vain. And now, noble U. B. F. and merciful, most hoonied women of the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, of the State of California, in the words of our State Grand Princes, Sister S. Shores: "Sail on across the sea Let others know that we Will ever live. Give out sweet charity To those who needy be, Unfold our mysteries, Let us freely give." The California Eagle THE SESSIONS WILL BE HELD AT PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH ON NEWTON STREET The annual conference of the C. M. E. church of which Rev. J. C. Anderson is pastor in this city, will convene at ten o'clock a.m. Wednesday morning, Sept. 12th, at the church, 1406 Newton street. The sessions will be presided over by the scholarly and erudite Bishop C. H. Phillips, A.M., D.D. LL.D. This will be perhaps the last session of the conference over which Bishop Phillips will preside. The bishop is the founder of the work on the coast and has presided over every session of the conference but one since its organization. Quite a delegation will be in attendance. The conference is composed of two presiding elder districts over which Revs. Z. Z. Johnson and W. M. Seldon preside. The conference is only ten years old but consists of fourteen preachers and has twelve appointments. The work has shown a remarkable growth under the guiding influence of Bishop Phillips assisted by the loyal preachers and laymen. The church in this city has made great strides this year and some much needed improvements have been made. Under the pastorate of the present incumbent a pipe organ has been installed, the church has been seated with opera chairs, new carpets have been put in the church, a new chair loft has been built, Sunday school rooms have been built, the membership has been strengthened and the work generally is in a prosperous condition. The public is invited to any or all the sessions of the forthcoming conference. Two sessions will be held daily with services each evening. Mrs. Susie Jeter Davis of Fresno Cal. Whose home is in Newport, R. I., and who is now in the east on a visit to her relatives.

MEET AND PASS RESOLUTIONS The colored citizens met with the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance on last Tuesday morning and as a result of the same passed the following resolutions, on the recent agitation that the colored people devise some means to help care for the wayward girls which come before the local courts from time to time. The resolutions are directed to Miss O. J. Shontz of the Juvenile Department, RESOLUTIONS We, the colored citizens of Los Angeles, California, in a public meeting held under the auspices of the Inter- Mrs. A. E. Weber, President of the Women's Missionary Convention of the California Baptists Denominational Ministerial Alliance on Monday, August the 27th, 1917, for the purpose of considering the proposal to establish a Home, School or Reformatory for the accommodation of delinquent girls and fallen women of the Negro race by Negroes, referred to us by Miss Orfa Jean Shontz, Referee of the Juvenile Court, the same being Department eight of the Su- superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles; having duly considered and determined upon said proposal, beg most respectfully to REPRESENT: I. We are opposed to segregation of races in public institutions. Rev. Geo. W. Reed, Pastoring at Riverside The Little Napoleon of the Baptist Denomination II. It is neither requested nor desired that the Negroes should be the object of special legislation or particular provision, however favorable. III. We resist the inference that this is a condition peculiar to the Negro race, requiring special consideration and action in its behalf, as distinguished from other races. IV. The proposition is an attempt to treat, in a local and superficial manner an evil which is general and fundamental. V. These unfortunates are, wards of the state. The public treasuries of the city and county and state, representing taxation for this and other governmental purposes, are rich and abundantly able to supply any need of this kind. We are neither able to undertake this function of the government in providing, nor willing to assume the duties of public officials in caring for them. RECOMMEND: I. That necessary appropriations be obtained for the needed accommodations in State institutions. II. That City ordinances regulate liquor traffic, vagrancy and dance halls be strictly enforced. In furtherance of said object, we, PLEDGE: I. Our support in the effort to obtain necessary appropriations. II. Co-operation with the Juvenile Department in the enforcement of city ordinances above mentioned. III. Sympathetic support in all the humane endeavors of the Juvenile Department. Wherefore, be it, RESOLVED: That a copy of these resolutions be respectfully addressed to Miss Orfa Jean Shontz, Refree aforesaid, be included in the minutes of the Inter-Denominational Ministerial Alliance and this original resolution filed among the records of this Alliance.

Anderson. ECHOES OF THE RACE RIOT AT FORT LOGAN HOUSTON TEXAS. THE POLICE AND THE RED NECK REBELS OF THAT CITY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOOTING UP OF THE TOWN AND THE KILLING OF FIFTEEN OR TWENTY WHITE CITIZENS. So much has been said in connection with the race riots at Fort Logan, Houston, Texas in which well onto twenty White and Colored, people lost their lives, mostly White, that it is almost useless to enter into all of the details of causes leading to the riot on the part of the soldiers belonging to the 24th Regiment whose record for so many years in the past has always been a good one and from all that we have been able to learn concerning ot the unregenerated and the unreconstructed red 'necked rebels, residing in Houston, including its police officers were solely responsible for the riot and for the shedding of so much human blood. For sometime prior to the out break on the part of the Colored soldiers belonging to the 24th Infantry the White citizens of Houston and the police officers highly delighted to call them or refer to them as the "Nigger" soldiers and in every other way they felt that they had the undisputed right to insult and roughly abuse them to their heart's content. It seems that Captian J. W. Mattes of this city was in accord with sentiments entertained by the vast majority of the White Citizens of Houston in relation to the colored soldiers and as he was not connected with the 24th Regiment in any way whatever and was not responsible for the conduct of any of its members it was very sad indeed to think that he would permit himself to ride around town and out near Fort Logan, in an automobile late in the evening, with the same policeman who had been so horribly brutal in his treatment of the Colored soldiers and not being able to distinguish him from the policeman his life was ended in the same manner as that of the policeman who labored under the impression that he was sent from Mrs. Pearl Lowry Winters of Bakers field, will Sing at 8th and Towne Church, Sunday Evening 'on high' to this earth for no other purpose than to beat up or club up Colored soldiers wearing the blue uniform of Uncle Sam, and a Colored woman who had not been charged with committing any crime other than walking with a colored soldier who was at that time five miles away from the city limits of Houston. These incidents were the forerunners of the reign of blood shed which followed on Thursday evening for the Colored soldiers had continued to brood over the brutish treatment which had been accorded to them in the past on the part of the majority of the White citizens of Houston and it seems that they were willing to blow to the winds their past unattarnished record and under the leadership of Sargeant Vida Henry, Co 24th Infantry all told about one hundred men armed to the teeth and in the twinkling of an eye fifteen of twenty White citizens were shot to death, at the same time Sargeant Henry and one other Colored soldier lost their lives. Within a few days from that time all of the members of the 24th Infantry were removed from Fort Logan back, to Columbus, New Mexico and it is very hard to tell just what will be the fate of those members of that famous regiment who lead off in the shooting of White citizens who entertain the idea that Colored United soldiers have no rights whatever that White gentlemen are bound to respect, until after the United States government conducts and finishes its investigation into all of the causes leading on up to the latest racial troubles in one of the hell-holes of the South, in which so many White gentlemen lost their race prejudice lives. The White citizens of Houston after so man yof them had been shot down in cold blood for their continued insults of the Colored soldiers prayed unto President Wilson not to send any more Colored troops to Fort Logan and especially the Eighth Illinois Infantry, whose Co. G. was at Fort Logan at the time of the riot THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 30 At San Diego and conducted themselves like true soldiers for they took no part whatever in the bloody affair, but now the white citizens of that 40th rate town say they are willing to permit the Eighth Infantry to locate at Camp Logan if its Colored officers are all discharged and white officers are selected in their places, simply showing or proving that after all that they are full of the most bitter race prejudice—that all white gentlemen have been created for the sole purpose of ruling over Colored people—Broad Ax. CLUB WIEL MEET The Kentucky Club gave a grand farewell reception August 23 in honor of Miss Mary Harris, one of our esteemed members, who made her departure for the Old Blue-Grass State. The reception was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Anderson, 2821 Glassel street, and was a grand success. The house was beautifully decorated in club colors and much credit is due Mrs. Mecynoids for the beautiful presentation. Miss Harris made her departure Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in the presence of a host of Kentuckians who assembled to bid her adieu. MR. S. ROSE, Corresponding Sec. MRS. FOUSE, President. DIRECTOR ENTERTAINS 8th AND TOWNE CHOIR The members of First A. M. E. choir were the honored guests of Prof. Wm. Bynum, 1217 West 22nd street. Tuesday evening, 4th inst. The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Between forty and fifty members were present. A fine program was arranged by Prof Elmer C. Bartlett, Mme B. Dones, E. Smith, M Burges, J. Goodwren, Misses L. McKinney, Mesdames Lyles, G. Gattliff, Messrs. P. Middleton, J. Mitchell, W. Shores, J. T. Norris partici- pated. After the program Mr. S. P. Dones made a short address and presented the director with a pair of beautiful solid gold cuff buttons with initials engraved. Mr. Bynum was most agreeably surprised. After expressing his gratitude and thanking the choir for their loyalty for the past seven years and seven months, the choir was served with light refreshments. Mr. Bynum has been granted a six weeks' vacation. Mr. Elmer C. Bartlett will direct after Sunday the 9th. A. A. L. ADVANCES The West Side Branch of the All American League meet in the home of Mr. Davis, 1529 W. 35th street, Tuesday evening. Sept. 4. This meeting marks the second of its kind to be held in that district where it is hoped to build up a strong, flourishing branch of this organization to the end that the social and economic problems may be studied and handled with vigor and strength to the understanding and fair treatment of all. REV. R. H. WADE Prominent Baptist Minister and Noted as the Church Parliamentarian Mrs. K. Murcock of Austin St. has returned from her trip to Seattle, where she visited her father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Reeves of Sante Fe Ave. received Sunday afternoon in honor of the out-of-town school teacher. Dr. Earl Lenear, Arthur Butler, and Harry Brown motored to this city from San Francisco on Tuesday, and were the guests of Mr. Summera. Upon their return they were accompanied by Dr. Oscar Brown. What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Streets Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor All services at this church were well attended last Sunday and all present were wonderfully blessed. Pastor Greggs spoke on the subject "For We Walk by Faith, Not by Sight" 2 Cor 5:7. Both sermons were impressive and instructive. This being the first Sunday the holy communion was administered to a large number of members and friends. The special effort being made to make a double payment on the church debt, had a very success, beginning on last Sunday when 855870 was collected. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGRE GATIONAL CHURCH 34th Street and Central Ave E. E. Lighner, Pastor "Christ, Aboard Our Safety" was the subject of the pastor's sermon on last Sunday morning to an appreciative audience. At the evening service the chose as a text I Cor. 2.9: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for those that love Him." It is a great satisfaction to note the continued growth in interest and attendance of the Sunday school and the Young People's Society. The services on next Sunday will be of unusual interest, being the last appearance of the pastor before his leaving for a month's vacation, the major portion of which will be spent with his people in Alabama. "True Greatness" will be the theme at the morning service. In the evening the theme will be "The Unexpected in Jesus." Christian Endeavor, 7:00 p.m. Topic. "Are You a Yes—But?" A lesson on excuses. Exod. 4:1-17. Strangers cordially welcomed. FIRST A. M. E. ZION' CHURCH Pico and Paloma Sts. Rev. B. C. Robeson, Pastor Last Sunday was Woman's Day. The choir sang these words with telling effect. "By cool Siliana's shady rill see how sweet the lily grows. After this beautiful anthem was rendered the pastor arise and chose for his text. Luke 8:14 "Go and sin no more." This was an admonition to woman. The pastor spoke of the devotion of woman, of the illik love of the daughter of Jephtha, who permitted herself through love of her father to become a living sacrifice. He spoke of woman as being the pillar of the church. He also said he believed in woman's rights—the right to vote, the right to govern as well as being governed, etc. He also emphasized that women have duties to protect. His climax in his text was beautiful indeed in picturing or painting of woman in her various garbs and moods. Truly the women of the church did seemingly act as if they had arrived at the heights of their ambitions. Zion was host for visitors from Palo Verde Valley—the town of Blythe. Mrs. Simpson, who is the wife of the Civil Engineer at this town, and her children, Mrs. Jasper and Mrs. Williams. They report progress. Bishop L. W. Kyles of Winston, Salem, N.C., will preach for us next Sunday at 3 p.m. He is one of the ablest and by far the ablest of the newer bishops of the connection. A feast is in store for those who hear him. The pastor will choose for his next paper at 11 a.m., "Christ or Barabbas—Which?". At 8 p.m. he will talk on "Watch Your Step" Good ventilation, cool church, all are welcome. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Corner 3rd St. and Traction Ave. Rev. F. H. Davis, Pastor The services at Mt. Zion were up to the usual high standard last Sunday. At 11:00 a.m. the pastor preached from the subject, "The Way," which was immensely enjoyed by those present. At 5:00 o'clock covenant meeting was held. Every Christian should be at church on the first Sunday to partake of the Lord's Supper. At the evening services an audience that taxed the seating capacity of the church was present to hear Miss Minnie Albritton in her concert. Miss Albritton who will leave for the New England Conservatory offered some very beautiful food which an offering was taken for her. Miss Albritton expressed her appreciation for their help towards her. All are welcome to this church. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. CHURCH 1406 Newton St. Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor Two splendid services were enjoyed at this church on the past Sunday. The pastor preached at the morning service and the congregation was favored to have with them the Rev. E. R. Johnson, former pastor of the Second A. M. E. church, who was transferred to the Missouri Conference at the recent session of his conference, Brother Johnson brought a great message to the people. The entertainment given at the home of Mrs. Bowen on East Seventeenth street on last Thursday evening was a success in every way. Sister Bowen deserves great credit as she did well to make this entertainment a success. Sunday is the last one before the conference. The pastor will preach at both services. The conference will convene at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, September 12th, with SAINTS' HOME CHURCH Sunday school, 9:30 a. m. Lawrence Catley, Superintendent. Preaching, 11:30, a. m., 3:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. each Lord's Day. Week day services—Preaching on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Young People's meeting, Wednesday night, and Sunday evening at 6:30—Miss Berta Miller, President. Women's Sewing Circle, and Bibls Band, each Thursday from 10 a. m. to 6:30 p. m.—Mrs. Annie E. Driver, Priestess. Friends and visitors will always find a hearty welcome to the services WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Sunday was observed as Labor Sunday at Wesley M. E. church. At 11 a.m. the pastor's subject was "Working With the Heart." Among other things he said: "To the normally healthy person there is no work that is really hard. The thing which makes work hard is a dissatisfaction with one's occupation. The thing to do is for every person to seek the kind of work he likes and do it with all his heart, and work will become a pleasure rather than a burden. "The time will also come when men learn to value things rightly that a person's social standing will not be determined by one's occupation but by the character of the man or woman and the quality of service rendered. The Jack leg preacher, quack physician, humbug business man or woman, is socially no more honorable than the failures of other trades commonly considered of minor importance. Loafers and parasites are the same, whether in the pulpit or on the sofa corner." Two persons united with the church during the day. This Sunday will be up to the usual high standard. At 11 a.m. the pastor's subject will be "Not Yours But You." 7:45 p.m. sermon by Rev. E. K. Johnson, formerly of the Second A.M. E church, but recently transferred to the Southwest Missouri Conference. Our choir has come back to its place second to none on the coast. Come and hear the good singing and always helpful, practical and inspiring preaching. Strangers and visitors always welcome. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Corner 8th and Towne Ave. Services last Sunday both morning and evening were up to the usal high standard at First church. About three hundred faithful members communed. The choir sang beautifully and the pastor delivered, both sermons. There were two accessions to membership at the evening service. The offering was good. Preaching at both services Sunday. Everybody welcome. Our services begin and end time. Be punctual. Come praying. Trustee Day-will be observed this second Sunday in a special "One Dollar Effort" for the purpose of clearing up all our current expenses at the very beginning of this new conference year. The small amount of only one hundred sixty-three ($163.50) dollars and fifty cents will make us free of current expenses up to date. Come morning and evening prepared to "do your bit" and all you can, both members and friends, in this special "One Dollar Effort" Sunday. The Allen Christian Endeavor Society promises the general public an unusually interesting Sunday at 7 o'clock. A dialogue entitled, "Yes—But," will be worth the hearing of every member of the church. Come early and enjoy the song service. Everybody welcome. METHOIST PLEDGE NEARLY $2000_ON CHURCH DEBT A whirlwind campaign to free the church building debt during the present conference year has been launched at the A.M. E. church by Pastor J. F.'C Taylor and to date has netted in cash and pledges $1803.57. This amount nearly covers the indebtedness and to be paid within the year. The Aid Society was entertained last Thursday night by Mrs. Bunch, who is leaving the city soon for an indefinite stay. Next Sunday services will be as usual, save that a special collection for payment on the notes due the bank will be received. SCOTT CHAPEL NOTES The services were inspiring and helpful all day Sunday. Pastor Kinchen was greeted by his loyal members and many friends, some of whom were from Los Angeles. Brother Beeks and Sister Dallas were among those present. The pastor and his cabinet of class leaders held their second bi-monthly conference at the home of Brother Fred Pope. After conference Sister Pope served the cabinet a fish dinner. Sister Clarke, one of our faithful members, has been sick for several weeks, but is much improved. Sister Baldwin blessed the Mrs. and Miss Beavers blessed the church by their return from the beach—one of the party only looked at the water—no harm done. Mrs. Kinchen entertained the Ladies' Aid Society on Thursday evening at the parsonage.

There is an evil which to my mind is the crowning sin of this age. An evil that works in a subtle manner and walks around dressed in a grab of splendor and respectability. Whoever is guilty of this' crime is not respectable, decent society should close its doors in their faces and into jail should they be cast until they pay the uttermost farthing. I refer to the crime of murded. I repat MURDER! MURDER! MURDER! I speak to those murders whom men have not tried but who shall answer in the day of indement for their sins. It cannot but be noticed to-day that we have outgrown the system of large families. It used to be that a man enjoyed sitting around his own vine and fig tree, surrounded by his five or seven children. To-day time and ideas have changed. No more can we see in umbers such families, more often do we see man and wife go up the hill of lie together and alone. What meaneth this. It is that men today are so immoral that life is extinct. Is it that manhood is at a premium? In some cases this may obtain, but why such condition where such does not obtain? Too often it means that cold blooded murded is being enacted before our very eyes. Yes murder pure and simple. I tell you this morning God is displeased with such foolishness, and shall make every transgressor pay the price. He told men to multiply and He meant it, He didn't preach birth-control either. How in the world anybody can be held while such sins are being committed it is hard to see. This is a day of sickness, disease operations and the like, but to the thoughtful mind there often comes a smile of scorn and disgust. I speak not of all homes. God knows there are plenty who would be filled with joy to bring up children to the glory of God, but who are denied the privilege. Many who long and even pray for such favors. I speak of those whose hearts are so black and souls so dead, and characters so marred they are a stench in the nostrils of civilization. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." A great surgeon stood before his class to perform an operation. With strong and gentle hand did he do his part of the work successfully and then turned to his pupils said. "Two years ago a simple operation might have cured this disease. Six years ago a wise way of life might have prevented it. Nature must have her way. She will not consent to the repeal of her capital sentence." The patient died the next day. I cry out now when the opportunity may be nigh to rectify past mistakes. I call upon all who are guilty to take heed and mend their ways. REV. B. C. ROBESON, Pastor A. M. E. Zion Church. ELDORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY HOLD ANNUAL MEETING OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS AT ODD FELLOWS HALL LAST TUESDAY ELECT BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR (Report of annual meeting from the California Eagle in their issue of Sept. 1, 1917.) On last Tuesday the large hall of the Old Fellows corner of 8th and Wall street, was filled to its capacity with stock holders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company, who had come together in their annual meeting for the purpose of hearing the reports of their officers and to elect a board of directors which is an annual event, they were there from the smallest stockholder to those holding thousands of shares all interested in the progress of the work of the company, and despite the discouragements and the fact that their prior realization for success had failed, they after hearing the report of the secretary and of Mr. S. J. Brown, the company's manager, expressed an abiding faith in an ultimate and magnificent success of their efforts aside from the secretary's report showing the true condition of the affairs of the company was the message of Mr. Brown who had just arrived from the mines. Mr. Brown is well known for his sterling worth and high integrity and withal his conservatism, and when he says anything there is no one who would gainsay the truth thereof. Manager Gives Report That Absolutely Gives Reasons for High- est Hopes of Success After stating the general conditions of the properties and the machinery at the mines, explaining the failure of the machinery to work out the low grade ore, he told of the latest discovery of high grade ore in great quantities at the second level in the Silver Legion mine at 122 feet and exhibited the ore. This ore if found in any company with their ore listed on the stock market would cause the shares to double in value, hence the shareholders, of the Eldorado company feel assured of their permanent success as in reality since this latest discovery as the work proceeds there is every reason to believe that this great ore body of shipable ore will steadily increase. To show the confidence of the stockholders present hundreds of shares were purchased that the work for its extraction and shipping may go speedily on, arrangements are to made at once for the same. New Directors Elected The following directors were elected to serve for the ensuing year: George W. Shields, Joseph J. Bunch, G. P. Isaac, J. W. Lewis, L. K. Roberts, S. J. Brown, C. G. Dunscomb, Howard Folke, Walter Peery, Willis Stors and Andrew Hayman. Mr. N. G. Pitts, who has been one of the pioneers in this great effort and served as its president for the past seven years, announced that he would have to ask that he be relieved of that office, but that his service could ever be depended on on behalf of the company, and that he would contrive to serve in an advisory capacity. J. H. Young, also on account of his health, could not serve on the directorate for the incoming year. Report of Secretary Howard Folke to the Stockholders Since the last annual meeting of this company, held in 1916, the happenings as relate to its affairs, and general conditions have been most eventful. The year closed with a considerable indebtedness against the Corporation, in amount approximately $4400. The several accounts were as follows: THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The Lee & Henry Hotel 52 neatly furnished rooms. Hot and cold running water in every room. First class service rendered to our guests.

St. Louis, and Chester Outrages—Local Equal Rights Committees Being formed.—Special.) Boston, Mass., Aug. 23, 1917—That the Colored people of the country have been "brought to their feet" by the Memphis lynching, East St. Louis massacre and Chester riots, is shown by the instant interest taken in the call issued for a "Speedy Getting Together" at New York by Rev. Byron Gunner, President of the National Equal Rights League. Already President Gunner has received word from representatives in a dozen different states who will attend the 10th annual meeting of the League and 2nd Annual Race Congress under the League's auspices, which will be held 3 days, September 18, 19 and 20, in Mother Zion church, W. 136th street, New York City. Colored newspapers all over the country are announcing this National Colored Equal Rights Convention in their columns, and the editors "are less pressured" by the organization of local "Equal Rights Committees" that are to send delegates. The "Call" has been given such wide publicity, the invitation being open to every organization as well as the Equal Rights League, the oppressed in every country in the civilized world have met as a group and put forth their case and their demand, except we. Colored Americans, thoughtful citizens everywhere see that the race will be judged by the attendance at this National Race Congress. Every community that has not already formed a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee to send delegates is urged to do so. Three full weeks remain in which to do so. The last Race Congress brought men and women of all factions and all organizations together and increased co-operation. It is ten times as critical now for the race as then. Pres. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., and Cor. Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter of 34 Cornhill, Boston, are receiving many letters in the convention and will answer all inquiries. ```markdown ``` L. & CONNER corporated) SEVENTEENTH STREET Central Avenue, Cor. of Naomi Ave. Funeral Home to extend practical Service ing and conducting funerals o right us the reputation of Distinc South 3842 Attendant ERNEST H.

It was discussed by seriously, but later on the Citizens' Republican Protective League insisted that this same proposition should be disposed of with above result, so after all, without question these two mediocre organizations have, it seems, been of some service and should receive credit as is due.

Some of the new importations from the southland are laboring under the impression that every white face is an enemy; that up here where it is free they have a right upon the slightest provocation to vent the bitter feelings that have been pent up all these years against their oppressors in their own section on the men who would be their friends in this section, or if not their friends surely passive. It should be remembered that strange people in a strange land are on trial and judged by their actions. If they make good they are a fixture in their new location and have blazed the way for their friends to follow. Perhaps on account of the rough work required of the men in Gary, Ind., in the large iron industries, a rougher set of migrators have found their way there and in consequence friction between the races is more frequent. We need friends and while it is not wise to sacrifice one's manhood to get them it is wise to meet people half way and attempt to come to a mutual understanding—Defender.

Brown will have an ice cream and cake cutting entertainment on the 6th at the home of Mrs. Freeman's, 3031 Martin Ave. A set of dishes will be the prize for the winner. Prof. F. M. Roberts, our home hoy, who has been down South and viewed conditions, returns to dear old California to tell the story of the things that prompts him more to be a real man. Prof. Roberts spoke at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church at 11 a.m. and at the A. M. E. at 730 p.m. Those who heard him wept over the conditions of our people in the Southland and desired to help make condition better. The Negro Boy Scout camp will soon be organized in the city under the leadership of Dr. A. L. Brown. The Mt. iZon Church is about to launch a three months rally to prepare for the association next year. Did you see the big "Eagle" in town last week? Mr. Zion had a lively service last Sunday. The Holy Spirit had its way many tears was shed for joy. The collection for the day for $12.89. Mrs. Reed of El Centro is spending a few days in our city. Mrs. Reed is president of the Momans' Missionary Society at El Centro. Mrs. Peacoo of New Orleans, La, who has been spending several months in our city is now leaving for Calexico. Mrs. C. E. Norwood gave a dinner at her home in honor of Mrs. Lou Peacoo. Those present were: Mrs. Bershier, Mrs. Sims, Mrs. King, Mrs. U. L. Goodwin, Mrs. C. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Norwood and Mrs. E. Sheppard. It is said that two soldiers were shot by a band of unidentified Negroes in Lexington, Ky. One was shot in the leg and the other in the ankle. Do you think they stopped to see who did the shooting? I say, mo. Shooting is the latest fad. A young married lady made three shots at her husband in Imperial Valley, Sunday, but he ran faster than the bullets. Say, Smith, old boy; how did your mouth get mixed up with that white man's fist, last week. If you stay out of those dives you will save your teeth. There has been a string tied to the clapper of the wedding bell in San Diego and it will toll for some bride soon. Bus buz and buz bus, there will be honey soon. Mrs. S. Freeman has just returned from the association. Mr. Jerauim Collins of Imperial Valley, was in the city, last week, with wife, visiting relatives and friends. Mrs. S. S.

Mrs. Smith and daughter, Mrs. Fletcher of Los Angeles and Rev. G. C. Coleman of Oakland and Rev. and Mrs. C. Williams of Mt. Zion, were early breakfast guests of Mrs. E. Sheppard at 7:30 a. m., Friday. Dr. Coleman left on the 8:40 for his home. A happy time was spent in a round table gossip by the ladies. The Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Sun met and told of each others troubles. The Oakland Sun tried to shine, but the Bay fog hid its rays. Say, neighbor, do you take the California Eagle? How do you keep up with the news? The Eagle is the highest sailing bird on wings, he is the most competent, saw that girl and boy in the alley in Logan Heights, last week. He will write your name nest time. Since it is a fact that the whole salvation of the Negro rests upon its women, why don't the Negro women stand up and make the world take notice. No race will ever rise higher than its women. Girls of today, you are the women of tomorrow and your destiny is just what you will make it. The foundation that has been laid by your old mother and father, thru blood and tears, through grief and shame, with strife and wounds, shall they be in vain and the Race go down in disgrace and shame for the want of good women. Will each girl stand upon her chastity and say, "I will be a general in my Race that the world may desire me.

We addressed the club and our words seemed an inspiration as the highest enthusiasm was manifest and we have nothing but praise for these splendid men who have indicated by their actions that they stand ready to do their bit in the present crucial period through which our country is passing.

Y., July 16, 1917. Fellow Comrades and All Colored Americans: Our nation, with the rest of the so-called civilized world, is agonizing in the throes of world-wide "human wreckage." Alarming indeed, therefore, must be the condition of any particular group of American citizens that could justify them, during such awful times, in assemblying in large numbers with their own interests chiefly in view. Any justification for the calling of such an assemblage in a group of loyal Americans, numbering fully twelve million, casts a damaging reflection on our national sense of justice and Christian practice. A Speedy eGt-together Needed. And yet, in view of unjust and unbearable conditions that continue, with increasing horror, to afflict all Colored Americans, we challenge this nation, and the world, to show why we have not just and sufficient cause for a speedy and general getting together at this time, in self-interests and in self defense. However much this may reflect on our boasted Christian Democracy, it is, nevertheless, the truth, and nothing but the truth. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the tenth annual convention of said League, and also for the second National Congress of the United States to convene in September, 18, 19, 20 in Mother Zion Church, New York City. There are no words in any language than can adequately portray the increasing appalling humiliation to which we Colored Americans are being daily subjected in certain prejudiced-cursed sections of this country. Laughter in Hell and Weeping in Heaven The party in power has its iron heels on our necks. Our nation's chief executive and his associates in power, has not only done less for us, but has done more against us, than any other administration since the days of Abraham Lincoln. The ruthless disregard of our civil, social and political rights; the fiendish destruction of our hard-earned property; the shameful segregations and humiliating discriminations everywhere. enforced against us; the horrible butchery of Colored men, women and children in both southern and northern states, and the sleeping apathy of the American conscience present a picture so infernally horrible as must cause laughter in hell and weeping in heaven. The fresh, warm blood of innocent men, women and children of color, that cloaks the clay in East St. Louis, Ill. cries aloud to our racial leaders and to our great masses, TO GET TOGETHER Who Can Blame Us? In the face of such unspeakable horrors who can justify charge us with lack of patriotism because we are forced to pause in the midst of international strife and to raise our shackled hands and our unheeded cry indefense of our own outraged manhood? While Whites Cling to Prejudice If White Americans during such trying times can cling with such a struggling grip to their color-phobia, should we be blamed for striking a blow for our own continued existence? When the Caucasian, while plunged into the very hell of war, and death, and national and racial decay, can find time at every turn of the road to practice, his vile cooler schemes against us, it is high time that we poor, oppressed burden-bearers of the nation, should call a halt to the oppressor's rod. So heavy grows our burden, and so gauliness comes our yoke that patience on our part will soon become a crime against ourselves. Let Colored Come Together Let Colbert come together. Therefore, let us come together. Let us gather from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south and with the combined wisdom and strength of the race, let us "round-about" and confront and combat the forces of evil that sorely oppress us. If the flag for which we have always fought and bled can find no way to restrain the "poulted, blood - blistered, crime - cankered" hands that continue their wicked slaughter of our wives and children, let us get together and find a way, or make a way, that will lead to freedom. If, under prevailing conditions, we cannot get together and hang together, our enemies will continue to hang us separately. Any person, white or Colored, who preaches that "this is not the proper time for the Negro to air his own grievances and to speak in his own behalf," is a dangerous ally to our vilest oppressors. Colored and white pacifists who, during the past have apologized for wrongs against us that they should have fought, constitute one of the root-causes of our present appalling condition in this country. No Time to Lay Down So far as relates to our case at this uncture in American history, a Negro pacifist ought to be an impossibility, and a pacifist of any other race claiming to be our friend, deserves to be branded as our foe, in sheep's clothing. One Great, United Move All organizations—churches, lodges, business and fraternal societies—States, are cordially invited and earnestly urged to send one or more delegates to represent them in this, the tenth annual convention of the National Equal Rights League, and the Second National Congress of All Colored Americans. Without regard to creed, sect, sex or party, let us come together, and compel public attention to our demand for "a square deal" as citizens of this great republic Let the entire Colored American population, in all sections of this great country, be strongly represented at this great Race Congress. Yours for one, great, united move for freedom.

LABOR DAY PICNIC BUILDING LABORI ION DRAWS RE CROWD Federal Government Alone Can Deal With Menace. Washington, D. C., Aug. 22. The following sensational open letter to President Woodrow Wilson from Dean Kelly Miller, of Howard University is causing widespread comment. It follows in part: "There are 10,000,000 loyal citizens of African descent in the United States. They are vigorously excluded from a voice in the Government by which they are controlled. They have no regularly constituted organ through which to present their case to the powers that be. They have no seat, nor voice in the council of the nation The late Dr. Booker T. Washington was the accepted spokesman and media or for the race, but he has no successor. "Under former Administration there was a small appointive office for negroes. Though derisively designated as the "Black Cabinet," they were on the inside of the circle of government control to which they had ready access in presenting the claims of the race. But under the exaction of partisan exigencies even there have been excluded from official position under your administration. What the nation needs is not investigation of obvious fact, but determination and avowed declaration on the part of the President, speaking for the people of the United States, to put an end to lawlessness wherever it raises its head. "Lynching cannot be confined to the colored race. Hundreds of white men have been the victims of lawlessness and violence. While these words are flowing from my pen news comes over the wire that a labor agitator has been lynched in the State of Montana. Although the Negro is at present the chief victim of lawlessness, like any other evil disease, it cannot be limited by racial lines. "Chief of the Army and Navy, you express the voice of the American people in the great world conflict which involves practically the entire human race. You are the accepted spokesmau of the world democracy. "The time has come to make lawlessness a national issue, as a war measure if not for any higher consideration. As a patriotic and military necessity, I suggest that you ask the Congress of the United States to invest you with the power to prevent lynching and to quell lawlessness and violence in all parts of the country during the continuance of the war. Or at least you might quicken the conscience of the nation by a stirring message to Congress calling attention to this growing evil which is gnawing at the vitals of this nation.

LABOR DAY PICNIC BY THE BUILDING LABORERS' UNION, DRAWS RECORD CROWD The annual picnic given by Building Laborers' Union No. 1 on last Monday at Scheutzen Park was the occasion for the banner crowd which that body has had the honor of entertaining A feature of the festivities of the day was the ball game between the Hall of Records nine and the Janitors of the local banks. The Hall of Records nine ran all over the boys from the banks, but for all that the game furnished barels of fun, some of the boys developed a mania for failure to hit the ball. One bystander said that Ray Matthews and Louis Huburd could not hit a balloon with a bass fiddle. Little Master Van Norton was the mascot for the court house boys and that's why they won. The Black and Tan Band furnished the music and it goes without saying this self same music delighted the crowd. Dinner was served, soda water, ice cream, hot dogs and watermelon. The day's pleasure was almost marred at the close of festivities by the usual gang of undesirables whom it is impossible to keep away from these public affairs, but the perpetrator of the same was arrested on the spot and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law by the managers of the Union.

PAUL CLOSES REVIVAL For some two weeks the lights have been burning in the St. Paul Baptist Church where Pastor Holt has been delivering many stirring sermons that brought thronging multitudes to the historic church. Some fourteen persons were added to the church, and the congregation has taken on new life. The fire burns as never before. Baptizing on the first Sunday in October. A great "goodbye" meeting was held on August 30, as Pastor Holt was preparing to leave for the National Baptist Convention in Muskogee, Okla. The congregation and friends surprised Pastor Holt with a new suit of clothes, a full trip ticket to the convention, additional expenses and a respectable surplus of "coin." Pastor Holt was all smiles as the happy people turned over the "wad" and told him if he needed more, say the word. Pastor Holt will make a fight for the National Convention to convene in this city, 1918. He has the endorsement of all the Baptist machinery. Dr. Holt left Sept. 1st, 9 a.m., and it was fitting to note that many Baptists crowded the station to see this "Black Billy Sunday" leave for the east, they also greeted the long looked for Billy Sunday, who arrived at 9:45 a.m. Dr. Holt will visit other parts after the convention. Come to St. Paul anl have a good "soul shaking." Bishop L. W. Kyles Coming. Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles, A. M., D. D. Presiding Bishop of the Seventh Epis copal District of the A. M. E.

A cordial invitation is given to all. Bishop Kyles will preach at the First A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday afternoon, Sept. 9, at 3 o'clock. The People's Auditorium was crowded Tuesday night, when Mrs. Clara C. Hulbert presented Miss Minnie Albritton in her farewell concert in Los Angeles. Miss Albritton had planned to give a recital here on the 11th of September, but her eastern engagements were such that she was obliged to cancel that date. Appearing with Miss Albritton on Tuesday evening were Mrs. C. C. Lewis, reader and poser; Miss Juanita Johnson, planist; Mrs. Pearl Lewery-Winters, contralto; Mr. Owen Troy, violinist, and Mr. Thomas Johnson, baritone. Miss Lorenza Jordan and Miss Fannie Wilson acted as accompanists. The concert was under the auspices of the Second Baptist Church, and a charming bevy of young girls from thir church, assisted by several of the society girls, acted as usher.

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.

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 lands for just as much or more.
