Logue Craws the successful preacher pastor and financier, of the historic East Wake E. church, 8th and Towne Avenue who broke all previous talks over the last Sunday, when through the health and cooperation of the late minister there was placed in charge on the tables $150/50 of the goods and one dollar and two cents) toward the White Elephant Fund. And on lines that the church had been debt against the church had been extinguished by might and all that remains flow is the widening and enlarging burning which will be held at a date to be announced later. Sitting with the Rev Craws an enthusiastic minister it was to be known as the White Elephant Fund, for the purpose of grazing off the mortgage of $1400 hold against the church account of the paying tax and also a fund for the purpose of beautifying the church by painting both interior and exterior. The first part of the talk was to conclude the 2nd Sunday in December and the only prior to that proceeded the first part of the first part and now it goes without saying that the Easter Sunday worship will be in the church beautiful and without debt absolutely. This has been accomplished under the magnificent leadership of the brilliant pastorate of Rev. J. Logan Craw, who has demonstrated beyond peradventure that he is an instrument of God to do His work, and while at church has in her continues such great giants as Sampson Brooks, the brilliant Dr. Thomas, Dr. Carey, Roberts and others who have proved their worth out here on the placid wave washed shores of the Pacific is another star whose brilliance cannot help but reflect its rays throughout the length and burndash of this country wherever the connection exists, and none will shine with a greateruster than from rank as one of the brightest stars of the connection and the bishopry itself looms not as an iridescent dream. The accomplishment of Rev. Craw is remarkable from the fact that along with his success not for one moment has the spiritual side of the church work lagged, every service with him is a revival service, and steady but sure, like clockwork, each and every Sundays service numerous accessions are made. During last year alone more than 200 accessions were reported. This is the third year of his California Eagle San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 15, 1917 THE HORROR OF SOUTHERN PREJUDICE Ton August the 26th seventh clines were snuffed out and many colled at Houston, Texas, and as a result of this tragedy, on last thursday morning at the end of a summary 26th martial thirteen color of soldiers at the famous 26th regiment were banned at Fort Sam Houston at San Antonio, Texas. We are told that these men went to their death without a tremor. Riomoff stating the fact that they died for a cause, for surely one that attend day in August seasoned veterans as they were, they could not help but believe that their act in time of war meant that they took their regiments or just their cause, therefore these men did that innovations to one might not have the rocky road of Southern prejudice to travel. Like old John Brown or Osawattomy they marched with all their wide open to their doom. John Brown, like these soldiers know that he could not succeed in his mission at that time, he knew that he was usurping the laws of the land and knew what his fate would be, but was willing to offer himself a sacrifice on the altar for the abolition of human slavery. These soldiers made up their minds to enter themselves as a slave for us, as we have said, they could not help but know what the penalty would be and there can certainly be to course when one knows. John Brown knew, these soldiers knew, we shall never forget the recorded spectacle of this grand耻辱性 as he marched to his death. Shackled and managed a walk up the gallows to his death. He stooped and implanted a kiss on the brow of a Negro bob in the arms of its mother and said, "This day I die that you may be tree." Note—Thirteen soldiers march off to their death with a smile. They said, "Good by boys of Company C" by intercession showing their good will and at the same time conveying the fact that they were dying that others who follow might not be the victims of a damning Southern prejudice which has been the bane of the progress and the very life of a loyal portion of the citizen ship of a mighty nation. Theirs was not an ignominious death, but was rather the death of martyrs and in years to come they will be revered, by their benefactors as martyrs for a cause not because they mutinied in the time of war, not that the government carried in fulfilling the law, but from the fact that they were not afraid to die for a freedom from the tattacks of an unjust Southern prejudice. And the crime lies at the door of the southernracker, the low-bred specimen of humanity such as Sparkes the Houston police officer, whose art was the real incipiency of the riot, and whose whole body is not worth as much when it comes to real character and manhood as the least drape of blood from the body of any one of these soldiers. And now people should take heart and they should remember that the darkest on the night is just before the dawn, and as in the Civil War, when the day was dark a shinden dawn came with freedom from slavery, and who knows but in this world's war that a new day the freedom or the country of that pretending which damns a nation, a state, city or community. Let us so hope and continuing as yet loyal to our country, attitud to the utmost that the day of a cogent pastorate at this church and the spiritual care has been his first care. Successful in that he has efficiently qualified as a financier of the first magnitude and has raised the Shr. and Towne church out of the slough of dependency and placed her high and dry as one of the very few great Metropolitan churches which is absolutely free of debt. Too much credit cannot be given him and his faithful and energetic wife for the great and successful effort which they have brought to this historic and leading church of the leading city of the great Pacific Coast. ON BOARD NAVAL BASE HOSPITAL SPECIAL TRAIN By Floyd G. Suelson, Jr. Salt Lake City, Utah, Monday morning, December 19, 1917. Arriving here at 11 45 a.m., the boys completed the first lap of their journey all well and happy. After a good heavy ham and eggs breakfast on the excellent Salt Lake dinner, the boys detained at Lyndel, Nevada, where they went through our usual morning exercise of gymnastics, although the temperature being somewhat below the average Los Angeles weather it was enjoyed greatly. Our trip will continue as follows By J. On August the 26th seventeen wounded at Houston, Texas, and Tuesday morning at the end of a seven soldier of the famine 24th in Houston near San Antonio, Texas. We are told that these men were 60 years of age, demonstrating the tact that nature had day in Annapolis would not help to introduce the death in military life to big troops or a dood that convictions to one might even promote to travel. Like old marched with their eyes wide open these soldiers knew that he could time, he knew that he was usurping what his fate would be, but was the alter for the abolition of human their minds to offer themselves as a could not help but know what the certainly be to cause when one daddy knew, we shall never forget the old paracharrier as he marched to his death walked up the gallows to his death on the brow of a Negro babe in the day he die that to go by tree" Nod to their death with a smile. The company Cly is interrupted showing the convoying the fact they were dying be the victims of a damning South bane of the progress and the very ship of a mighty nation. Theres was rather the death of martyrs and in by their beneficencies as martyrs fined in the time of war not that the law, but from the fact that they were from the tentacles of an unjust Sect. And the crime look at the door-bred specimen of humanity such as whose act was the real insult is not worth as much when it comes to the least drop of blood from the And now people should taunt that the darkest of the night is a Civil War, when the day was dark from slavery, and who knows but the freedom of the country of the a state, city or community.

R.; via Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario, to South Bettlehem, Pa., over Lehigh Valley R. R.; and thence to Philadelphia League, Island Navy Yard over the Philadelphia and Reading R. R. Our itinerary, you will see, will consist of some of the most important scenery in the United States. We expect to arrive in Philadelphia about Friday morning. The boys are enjoying themselves immensely, all being extended the equal courtesy and convenience as the white members of the party, and each of them have particularly become our associates in an extremely loyal manner. The musicians in the party have gotten together and furnished much jazz music, which add greatly to the hilarity and enjoyment the boys all joining in singing the latest popular airs which has made our trip a continuous round of pleasure. At every station pedestrians greeted us with much enthusiasm. Our meals were absolutely first class and bountiful regardless of the Hooverizing crusades. We had a special dining car just for our benefit and treated us with the utmost care and appreciation. The following happenings among our personnel were: George Baker was looking for snow all along the road; he was well satisfied this morning. Clalborne Stovall holds the record for the "blues" ```markdown ``` after the departure From Los Angeles. Elbridge Lee has already planned a tour of New York City on first "Liberty" landing; wired arrangements before departing from Los Angeles. Jesse Walker is greatly worried over a sweater that Miss Gladys Riddle was unable to complete before his departure. Elbridge Lee and Claybourne Stowall are rivals in "kissing bug" championship at the station Sunday morning. The boys look upon the rumor circulated around L. A. that they were just the same as "slackers" in going with this Naval Base Hospital as being from the lips of persons who were unable to pass the examination themselves and were sorry of being denied the privilege of going themselves. Mr. Eddie Jones, former chef of Salt Lake K. R., happened to meet up with his former crew, and when we left the min salt Lake he had almost everything in the diner. John Layne is making his first try on a Pullman and eating the first time on dining cars. He is trying to learn. The following ball of fate will give you an idea of what we have to eat. B.

PASTOR ROBESONS BROTHER STARS IN FOOTBALL The following clipping refers to the brother of our Rev Robeson, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church: **ROBESON ON ALL-AMERICAN** Robeson, star of Rutger's eleven, is being picked by the leading experts as the best end of the season. The majority of writers, put him on the All-American team. The New York Sun's expert, in telling of the stars of the season says this of Robeson. "In the matter of development in this particular season the top position must be accorded, to Robeson, this Negro end of Rutgers. Robeson was a good line man last year, but he was a bit crude an abscesses his worth did not receive general recognition. With the rise of Rutgers this season Robeson with his superb strength augmented by a knowledge of both the theory and practice of the finer points of the best shot, soon proved himself one of the country Robeson not alone in the country. Ball's mighty requirements of an end, he played the right end on defense but on attack he usually took his place at tackle and opened up the big holes through which Foster Sandford's back marched to triumph." **Gorge Foster Sandford**, who is being referred to as the leading coach of the year for developing such a great team as Rutger's, recently said of his colored star "Robinson is the best all-round player on the gridron this season and the most valuable to the team."

JOHNSON HONORED BY UNIONS Last Wednesday evening the assembly room of Labor Temple was comfortably packed, the occasion being a public reception tendered S. P.

Stanley was master of ceremonies, and introduced his first speaker, Hon. Stanley R. Wilson, who in greatly three quarters of an hour MARSHALL ICE CREAM CO. We are glad to notice that a goodly number of times and churches are buying ice cream from Marshall Ice Company. On Thanksgiving day Mr. Marshall states that he furnished cream for the following: Mr. Zion Baptist, Pleasant Hill Baptist, Berean Seven Day Adventist, Garganza Spiritualist, First A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne, Phillips Chapel C. M. E., Newton St. New Hope Baptist, Second Baptist, Wesley Chapel, Shrine Auditorium and he wishes to thank all of these for their patronage and to state that it is his plan to give the people of this community the best service to be had along his line. Mr. Marshall's ice creams and assorted ices are the best on the market for the price. By using Marshall's ice cream aside from helping to promote a Race enterprise, you are protecting your health by using absolutely fresh goods. Mr. Marshall is armed with the latest and best machinery which enables him to turn out any number of gallons of ice cream on short notice. Now we are of the opinion that every church, fraternal order and club should use Marshall's cream for entertainments of every kind. Again Mr. Marshall wishes to thank his patrons for past favors and to solicit their future trade. Cross A NOBLE OUTCAST The Noble Outcast, a drama—in four acts, was presented last Monday evening at Gamut Auditorium to a fairly crowded house. Those who failed however to see this play missed one of the biggest and best-treats ever given to the Los Angeles public. The play was under the direction of Mrs. W. M. Bowers, who played one of the leading roles. Mr. Bowers as Jerry, the Outcast, brought to light his ability as an amateur actor that no one suspected in him—from the moment he entered the stage, ragged, tattered and torn, he got the attention of his audience. So original was his ready wit and so masterly his tragedy that one would have thought that amateur action was his prologion. Mr. Howard as villain was without a doubt a peer in his role. Miss Alice Green as mother was good. Miss Howard as maid fascinated the audience with her quick action and native grace. Misses Green and Taylor played also their parts in masterly fashion. The Noble Outcast was given under under the anjueses of Pana Bodge K of Ps. It is hoped that the promoter will present it again in the near future. Miss Patton, with her brother Malcolm Colpitt, appears before some of the largest white audiences of this city, but she has never been too busy to serve her own when called upon, and it is because of this big heartedness on the part of this young girl made us teed that our write out of the great Temple of Fame was incomplete until this mention was 1 thrilled his fliers with that ierary eloquence found only among Irish and Neighborsors. Mr. Wilson praised Mr. Johnson's muscled mission, as a labor leader, and spoke touchingly in behalf of the great work to be accomplished by unionized labor. Other speakers were: Hon W O Tyler, Noah D. Thompson, Dr D H D Prowl and Mrs C A B All, all of whom paid glowing tribute to Mr. Johnson and his great work as a union labor advocate. Miss Valena Wood presided of the parlor in pleasing fashion and Mrs Norwood delighted the audience with two soprano solos. In our account of describing the beauty and success of the Temple of Fame, the historic drama presented Dec 4 at the First A M E Church under the direction of Mrs Lilian J Craw, our reporter failed to make special mention of the splendid rendition of Miss Juanita Platton as Dellahh. Miss Patton is one of our most charming sopranos, who upon this occasion received the highest applause and keenest appreciation from the great audience. BEATZ HAS A HEARING We are pleased to note the fact that Beatz, the night watchman who assaulted Welcome Watson, janitor at Hall of Records, was given a hearing last Monday by Supt. Davidson, and his findings will soon be made public. The Eagle, while calling for action in this case, had an abiding faith in the Superintendent of the Engineering Department seeing that justice was done and as that is all we asked, we are still assured that he will render the same. Long since Head Janitor Robinson has assured us that Mr. Davidson could be rilled upon to do the square thing at all times and while we urged action in this case we never despaired that the same would be withheld.

ARLINE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday morning Dr. H. D. Prowd used as his text, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering." Dr. Prowd said in part that we had reason to restate or reiterate the church today. We are living in an age, said the speaker, when men are easily carried away by false doctrine. We are following strange gods. The missions of the church is to save men for Christ. Dr. Prowd plog for same Christian living was especially to the young people of the church. He admonished them not to mistake the pleasures of the world for the pleasures of the church. Sunday morning Dr. Prowd has another message—come early and be comforted by hearing the whole sermon.

Every American, whether black or white, rich or poor, young or old, can do something to help win this war. The only question now is: Are you willing to do what you are asked to do and do it cheerfully, thus proving your true American patriotism? The man who goes into the trenches, who is behind the gun or wields the sword cannot alone subdue Germany; but the woman in the kitchen the man behind the plow, the proprietor of the eating-house, restaurant or hotel must all play well their part. And if they fail it will mean defeat for the army, and the world-wide democracy for which we are contending will fail, and all our civilized world would be thrown into slavery. "I have passed the age limit, so I will not be drafted," and "I am a woman, and women don't go to war," are among the expressions often to be heard. All of these statements may be true, but "YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. Did you buy a liberty bond? If you did, then that was your contribution to your country. Did you sign the pledge card sent out by the United States Food Administration? If you did, then you made another excellent contribution; and that is indeed important and essential to success, because the soldiers of the United States and the Allies must be fed, and you are called upon to help feed them. In the United States we seem to have such an abundance of food that the necessity of economizing has not yet made itself felt as it has in Europe. No man apparently is hungry. If one has the price, one seems to feel easy in the matter of getting enough food. But the necessities for food saving is here, and it is vital. It is absolutely necessary that you follow to the letter and spirit all instructions given you by your State Food Administrator. Some people declare that they are not going to make out the weekly report cards and hand them to their church committees, because it interferes with their eating. Anyone who says this is not a true American citizen. Make a careful study of the foods which we may consume and will feel on without inflicting deprivation upon our soldiers and our Allies. Food will win the war. Do you know that we have been asked to consume certain foods to the limit of our appetites while we are urged in the game breathe to eat less of other foods? Is it clear to you that certain foods may be used to sustain life in comfort and good health here in country, which could not be shipped across the ocean? And are you eating those foods in order to permit the sending of wheat, meat, sugar and fat to Europe. Have you, in fact, kept the pledge you signed? In this country 11,000,000 of our people signed the food pledge, to cooperate with the Food Administration in saving food. If these people keep their practices there will be enough to meet the enormous requirements of hungry Europe. The Negro has made a fine record in signing pledge cards. But signing a pledge is not enough. It is more important to carry out the pledge, because this is more serious and an aid to winning this war, and as a reminder that you plighten your word that it will be done. We should not deceive ourselves by believing that peace is just beyond our horizon. A desire for peace is present in all of us. We should not permit the wish to be father to the thought that we shall have peace until we shall have Win the war and placed democracy on the high pedestal where it will guarantee the rights of all free people. There is a place for you in this war game. Find your place and fill it. The Negro press is doing its part by giving space to the information that is given out from time to time. Read it—then act! Thousands of young men of America will soon be in the trenches fighting for you, and you must not forget them. Give them your prayers, and get behind your government in feeding and caring for them. This war is teaching the people some valuable lessons. Frugality is one of them. Individuals who never before had ten dollars laid up for a rainy day are now saving fifty dollars, bearing interest, through the Liberty Bond will start the saving habit, and the possession of fifty, hundred, or several hundred dollars, will give the individual a new feeling of personal security. Have you contributed to the Red Cross fund? If not, do so at once. Such charity has its own reward. Several contributors to this fund aver that they can trace some good fortune to the fact that they were each month doing something for this great charity. And then it is your bounden duty to voluntarily render aid to the Nation's defenders at the front. Come forward! This is God's war, and it is exercising a chastening influence on all humanity. Do not kick at the high prices of food stuffs and the dangers of the war for your dear ones at the front, they deserve your aid and your encouragement, and maybe your prayers too. It is the boast among the grafting guild of colored gentry in every city that "the white man is easily fooled." You can always tell the "gentry" by his first little spiel—it is to to knock! knock! his betters. He is here in his proper element, his listener being misled, losing support.

Roberts ```markdown ``` THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE NOTABLE VICTORY FOR JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY—COUN- CIL BACKS CIVIL SERVICE Monday the Public Safety Commission of the City Council settled for all time the policy of "jim-crowing" the colored citizens in the Fire Department of the city, by declaring that hereafter there would be no separate list kept of Colored Eligibles, and the forty-five colored men, now upon the Eligible List for that Department would be distributed to the various Fire Houses, in line with their rating, as vacancies occur. The California Eagle has stood out body against the request of barefoot and irresponsible leadership which had been very officious in insisting "in and out of school" that the colored people of this city, the people who believe and stand upon their rights as American citizens were not allowed to attend school. In editorials again and again the Eagle has shown the Mayor and City Council that the colored citizens as a whole were as much opposed to separate public institutions as they were opposed to separate public schools, and they have listened and have taken note. The Haitians fought the French institution of human slavery under the flag of France; exalted themselves in battle with the National air. "La Marsellaise"—and won. They appealed to their fellow-countrymen who were tast mastering the principles of democracy. The All American League is fighting race prejudice as the right of American citizens, not as a privilege of the afflicted. It recognizes no truely democracy where a man is known by the color of his skin, his race or antecedents; and that is where you as a race come in. We cannot hope to accomplish anything worth while if we ask for discrimination for some questionable advantage, and any man or body of men who go before the City Council asking for separate fire houses as the only way to "provide jobs" are in the same class as those members of the race who were demanding "jim-crow schools" because some members of the race feel uncomfortable being American citizens, till hedged, and prefer to be "wards of the nation." The Public Safety Commission of the City Council that put themselves Monday on record as depicting that there shall in the future be no separate list of eligible for "jim-crow" firehouses; and that the colored men now on the eligible list will be distributed to the various tree-houses without any regard to race or color, is to be congratulated by all citizens, white or colored, for making a record for true Americanism. The California Race from the very beginning opposed further extension of the "jim-crow" features of our public institutions there, instigating if the Negro was good enough to fight and die in need be for American institutions, he was good enough to treat "white." The California Eagle wishes to again congratulate the Civil Service Commission, the Public Safety Commission, the City Council and the Mayor of this city that they had the magnificent courage to get away from the "straw leadership" of a number of discredited men of the race who for the sake of "marketable notoriety" have become "professional Negroes." Negroes who at times make it a business to misspeak for the whole race. And again, thank you gentlemen, and some ladies. Midnow while the Civil Service and Council acknowledge that this is tardy justice, the fair and square thing to do is not to call for an examination until the present list of chiebles is exhausted. It would be so easy for justice to be ciebled with a narrow head of department that the names of these men would remain where they are until doomsday if there was a possible way for them to evade a plain duty. On these phrases we believe we present a solid front save and except the barefoot and irresponsible brigade. DIAMONDS Special value for very fine white brilliant, snappy, quarter-carat stone.
