Sifting Charges OFFICER'S BULLET STOPS AUTO THIEF ON EAST TWELFTH STREET Officers Irvin and Simpson, Detective Sergeants, assigned to duty for the Southern California Automobile Club, while driving along Alameda Street on last Sunday spied a Hudson with a number on it of a stolen car. The officers gave chase. The faster they went the faster the Hudson would go. Around and around the chase went on. Suddenly the Hudson made a turn on Washington Avenue in and out of a filling station; the officers attempted to follow. In doing so one of the front wheels of their machine broke down and the Hudson made its getaway. However, these same officers still on the alert on the evening of the same day in the vicinity of 5th and Central avenue discovered this same car again. The occupant also discovered the officers and stepped on the gas. Before they could get a flying start the officers pulled along side and commanded the driver of this machine to draw up to the cure and covered them with their sawed off shot guns, but as they drove the driver of the Hudson, about it he again stepped on the gas and shot with their the officers blazed with their sawed off shot guns, and the piercing cry of women and the groans of a man disclosed the fact that after the car was stopped there were in the car two women and three men. Two of the men made a miraculous escape from the hall of shot. The women were badly wounded. The name of the captured man proved to be Marquiss Johnson and the women Mrs. Lee Duval, 832 Merchant Street, and Virginia Hurle, 55 Glenlitta Avenue, Pasadena. Leader Has Unassay Record Marquiss Johnson the driver who was captured has quite a police record as indicated by his record in the hands of the police. He was arrested at the age of 16 years Nov. 26, 1921 for burglary by officers Dave and Steven; was arrested again March 1, 1923 for Grand Larceny at San Diego for stealing an automobile, brought back to Los Angeles put on trial and was sentenced to lone until he reached his majority. On his way to the institution to serve his time he escaped from the officers; later was caught at Oxnard and sent back to lone where he remained but a short time and escaped and has been at large ever since brought low by the bail of shot from the guns of officers Irwin and Simpson. The officers regret the shooting of the women who were in the car, but were performing their duty in stopping the car, as the theft of an automobile is a felony under the law, they are if necessary authorized to use drastic measures to bring them to a stop. Other men who were in the car made a clean get-away and have not been apprehended as yet. The two women will recover as well as Marquiss Johnson. INVESTIGATING GRAFT. THE POLICE COMMISSION. ALLEGED 'FIXER' REPORT STIRS POLICE BOARD Charges that a Central Avenue "political boss" is attempting to collect fees from persons desiring to obtain certain police permits, on the ground of his alleged statements that he is "in strong with the police" and can at will stop the issuance of these permits, were being investigated today by Police Commissioners De La Monte and De Coo. The commission has in-hand specific allowances made by Mrs. Elizabeth E. Pryor, who desired to obtain a permit to conduct a bazar and carnival for the benefit of the Pilgrim home. Mrs. Pryor charged that she was approached by the self-styled "Central avenue boss" and was told that she must pay him 50 per cent of the gross proceeds of the carnival. Unless she did so, she declared the "boss" informed her that the permit would not be granted. The charges, if proven, it was stated, will bring about proceedings for the prosecution of the alleged "boss". The charges brought by the woman are so serious, it was stated by members of the police commission, that they will hold a special meeting next Friday to hear full testimony in the matter. —WEDNESDAY HERALD The Police Commission according to the above clipping from the Herald is attired to action by report of the above instance. We heard this same charge made in the case of officer Smith before the Commission, but no notice was taken of the sand. An a matter of fact the Commission simply looked out the window. Who Will Be the Game who will be the team— It is an open question as to who the article refers to bid to our minds in the mix up what is sure to follow, Somebody, Oh No, Somebody, will be the goat. All along the line divers assertions have been made that certain police shifts have been made; licenses granted and other things brought about to make making good for special parties and how that the down is a hand, have no goats, but sift it to the bottom and see just what is wrong.

PERRY HOWARD DOES HIS BIT TO DEFEAT DYER ANT-LYNCH-JING BILL. N. Y. CITY, Dec. 23, 1922—Astounding revelation of the activity of Perry W. Howard in an effort to defeat the Dyrant Anti-Lynch Bill was made today at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which made public the text of a letter written by Mr. Howard to Senator T. Coleman Bount of Delaware. This letter was dated November 23, 1922, just three days after the opening of the Special Session and at the time when every effort was being made to have the Bill brought up and pushed. In this letter, Mr. Howard declares he has "blood in his eyes" for the N. A. A. C. P., which he calls a "Negro Democratic Organisation" and insists that no legislation ought to be enacted by reason of the N. A. A. C. P., or its sympathizers. Mr. Howard's letter is in part as follows: I received your letter of December on my return from the West where I have been almost the entire time since the close of the campaign. I confess to you that I have blood in my eyes for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and others who have used them with sinister designs to defeat some of the best friends that we have in particular and the Nation in general. The purpose of this letter is to call attention of you and other outstanding statesmen to the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Negro Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the Democrats in the final analysis. This organization was used by Bob Nelson and others and you owe your defeat to no other agency. I corrected the evil in Wilmington and if I could have gone into the Dover neighborhood on the following Monday, I could have saved the day, but I had an engagement to fill for Senator Frellinghuyseen and you know it was impossible for me to do so. Now, I may call attention to the fact that whatever legislation or whatever else is done for the colored people of this country ought certainly to be done and done promptly, but I insist that none of it ought to be done through or by reason of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or any of its sympathizers. I therefore think that it should be the policy of the leaders of the party like you to absolutely ignore and give the back of your hand to such men as Nelson, James Weldon Johnson, W. F. DuBois, Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh and other of their ilk. There should be no quarters; and while treating every colored man with fairness and looking well to the interest of our group, these political bolshevists should be annihilated as the basest of ingrates. (Signed) PERRY W. HOWARD. In Mr. Howard's letter to Senator Du Pont, it was stated that copies were being sent to Senators Frelinghysen, McCormick, Watson and Moses also to Attorney General Daughery, who it is to be presumed would be interested in the charge by Mr. Howard that Messrs. Nelson, Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson and Vann are "political bolsohevists." Copies of Mr. Howard's letter were furthermore sent to Charles Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee and were circulated among prominent Republican Senators. Mr. Howard's reference to his willingness to "save the day" in the Willingness to "save the day" in the neighborhood will interest those colored readers who recall that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was instrumental in defeating Caleb R. DOES HIGHER CIVILIZA IN THE WHITE RACE ERADICATE ALL LOVE, SYMPATHY, AND RESPECT FOR BLOOD TIES? UNWED GIRL'S SON FIGHTS IN COURT. TELLS STORY OF VENGEANCE AND HOW HE WAS OBTRACIZED BY RACE. Oakland, Cal., Dec. 16.—Arthur S. Hill unfolded a story such as only the best of novelists might weave when he filed in the superior court here today a petition to become her to the $10,000 estate of Robert Bruce Kyle, who died a short time ago. The story began in Kentucky, where Hill alleged, a gay young northerner betrayed a pretty daughter of the old South. Hill, the petition alleged, was the child of the unwedded union. Shoots Alleged Betrayer Robert Bruce Kyle was the brother of Hill's mother and, according to the papers filed here, he swore and carried out vengeance upon his sister's alleged betrayer—shooting him, but not fatally. The mother, unable to face society with her disgrace, gave her babe into the kkeeping of her own negro mamm. "Raise him as your own," she told the mammy. The negress swore never to reveal that the child was not her own during the life of the real mother. I was told that the negress was my mother and that my father was white." declared Hill. Then followed a story of flight by Kyle and his sister, fearing prosecution for the shooting of the alleged betrayer, into Mexico and then to California, where, in the last year, both died. But calling about four decades which intervened Hill lived the life of a negro. But the mammy, released from her pledge of secrecy by the death of the mother and of Kyle, told Hill the true story, the petition alleged, and then dropped from sight among her own people in Kentucky. Hill stepped from the society of the black race and took his true place in the scheme of things. "I believe the story is entirely true," announced the public administrator, "and will use every effort to secure for this man the property of his uncle, the late Robert Bruce Kyle." —THE RECORD. CHIEF OF POLICE HIGHLY COMMENDS A COLORED OFFICER CHIEF OF POLICE HIGHLY COMMENDS A COLORED OFFICER COMMENDATION I hereby wish to call your attention to the exemplary work performed by Officer M. B. Sheffield (colore) Nov. 10, 1922, in making the arrest of one Robert Burns, colored, alias Red Wing, alias Lightning Dan. Burns pulled a gun on Officer Sheffield about a week before and made his getaway. Officer Sheffield met Burns with another negro, Percey Duff, on the above date, whom he at once recognized and endured, to place Burns under arrest and started to run and centered the Aberdeen Hotel, pursued by Officer Sheffield. Duff escaped through the fire escape and Burns ran into the lavatory. Sheffield pursued Burns into the lavatory and when he entered, Burns stuck a gun into his face and told him not to move or he would kill him. The cool and deliberate way in which Sheffield conducted himself while covered by the desperado, enabled him to use his wits. He talked Burns out of shooting him and finally succeeded in getting possession of his gun, after which he arrested Burns and brought him to the Detective Bu- Layton, largely through the enthusiastic and able work of Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, was regarded among colored people as well as among white politicians as one of the most convincing demonstrations of solidarity and power ever evinced by colored voters in America. Delaware became an object lesson to the Republican Party showing the strong feeling ampuo colored voters about the Dyer and Dunbar demonstrations, proud achievement of colored voters accomplished on the sole issue of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, that Mr. Perry Howard could have "saved the day." THE EAST SIDE MOTHERS' CLUB PRESENTS FLORENCE COLE-TALBERT IN A MATINEE RECITAL, FRIDAY DECEMBER 29th, AT 2:30 P. M. INDEPENDENT CHURCH 18TH AND PALOMA 6TS. One of the features of the Cole-Talbert Mattine will be the appearance on the program of a student from each of our leading Music Schools, which will give each student an opportunity to do credit to their Teachers and the School they represent. Parent's come out only to hear our leading Singers but our own children perform. Burns confessed to several hold up jobs and also to being a leader of the gang of colored bandits who operated in Los Angeles and vicinity. Burns also confessed to shooting his partner in crime, Gilbert Merritt on November 1st. 1922. Merritt was taken to the Receiving Hospital and given treatment for gun shot, later being removed to the County Hospital, where upon Burns' confession, in which he was implicated, Merritt was placed under arrest and is being held in connection with these crimes. Three other negroes, besides Merritt had been arrested, based upon Burns' confession. We have several cases pending, which are alleged to have been pulled off by this gang. It gives me pleasure to commend Officer M. B. Sheffield for his exemplary conduct, courage, and coolness as a Police Officer in the performance of his duty. L. D. OAKS, Chief of Police. MRS.

At two o'clock everything was in readiness, the already neat rooms had had their final fixings and were neater than ever. The show case in the reception room was filled with tempting curls, braids, creams, combs and powders.

The former by a burning, the latter by the bullet. A mob of Southern Christian Americans chained a Negro to the stake and delightedly watched his writening body char to ashes. In Texas the mob chained a Negro, suspected of complicity in an attack on a white woman, to a stake and riddled his body with bullets. In both cases the mob was unmasked and easily identified. Now, the argument against the passage of the Dyer Bill was, that the States were willing and could protect their people against mob rule, and that the police force of the States would be evident to enforce an obedience to its laws. Will Mr. Senator Underwood and his henchmen state on the floor of the U. S. Senate a denouncement of the murderous orgies of Florida and Texas? Will they call upon the government of those States to bring the participants in those henious outrages before the tribunal of justice? Now is the time to make good their boasted love of law and order and show to the civilization of the world that the United States of America stands for the humanitarian rights for which she preaches, and that her boasts as a Christian nation are not the boasts of a braggart or a hypocrite, but that she will enforce the law in letter and in spirit. PATRONIZING In a recent edition of a San Francisco daily, in the society column, was an article reading that a Mrs. Graves wrote to the little PICANINIES of the city. No doubt Mrs. Graves is a wealthy lady who can well afford to patronize her vanity in subscribing to the an entertainment of children, but why the Picanninies? Whenever any person goes out of their way to give such they deem that they are patronizing their inferiors. Whenever a people stoop to be patronized they don't amount to a Tinker's_____. It is to inculcate this spirit of racial pride that the I. B. P. O. Elks have inaugurated the practice of giving an annual Christmas party for the children of the attractive young girl, and feel as if the enjoyment that is being given them carries with it no thought of inferiority. Let us awake to the fact that the person who patronizes does so from a feeling of superiority. Let the parents of our colored children come out and bring their offspring to receive the cheer of an organization whose pride is, to encourage race pride. AUNT JENNIE "MAMMY" PRENITICE There passed away, at her home in Nappa, the aged nurse of the late author, Jack London. It has been some time since we saunted Jennie, but there was a bond of affection between her and the late author, which we never forgot. We saw the two together once at Glen Ellen, and the solicitous manner with which she was looked after by the famous author left no doubt in our minds but that the bond of affection between those two was of a genuine brand. BOUND TO SEND HIM TO HEAVEN A few days ago a woman in the city of Chicago became angry at her husband on account of his failure to attend church, and shot him dead. It would be splendid, the study of the psychology of the mind of that wife. Did she really believe that by hustling the soul of her mate into eternity that she was fulfilling a Christian demand? The working of the human mind is one of the most intricate problems and offers a study both interesting and instructive. UNDERSTANDING There is a mortal and material power taking possession of the world for freedom, and the colored race of the world are interested participants. In this mortal upheaval the American Negro cannot but help be one of the participants. In the past few years events have been unfolding themselves with rapidity, events which have awakened the self consciousness of the Negro. Power has been may against him, the Negro has had that awakening and the transformation is noticed in his attitude toward life. True, he is taking a serious viewpoint of life and its obligations. He is accumulating; he is getting educated in the ways of life as from the past CAST THY BREAD ON THE WATERS BY: JAMES LLOYD EDITOR'S NOTE: The following interesting and dramatic story by James Lloyd will run in serial form in this publication for several weeks. We trust that no reader of the Eagle will miss a single issue as it grows with intense interest until the end. "CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS." It was a pleasant mid-summer evening in Southern California. The great golden sun was sinking low behind the Isle of Santa Cruz. His last rays of light caused the shiloutted little isle to appear against it. As a black, irregular shapen mass of peaks while around the corners filtered a few bright which shown across the smooth waters of the channel and lift the tops of the trees on the main-land. One bright ray shone through the big hole in Old Castle Rock and penetrated far beyond as a search light set there by The Creator to guard His beloved ones. The several lone pines which stood on the crest of the high bluff above the narrow beach were grim and silent as sentinels in the gathering dusk of the evening. Far back, and on the hill side, the lights of the Rievera shone above the rest of the town like diamonds in the pure evening atmosphere, and on the mountain tops, far away to the East, which skirted the town, a bright star or two shone above the tops of the great stalwart pines on the Cumbre. The bells of the old Spanish mission chimed out the hour of vesper as several gay young couples strolled along one of the side streets in the shade of the overhanging old pepper trees, singing a light song and trumping on a Spanish guitar and Santa Barbara, the fairest gem of the Pacific coast, lay wrapped in her evening siesta. In a beautiful mansion near the outer edge of the town, surrounded by well kept grounds and situated at an altitude which commanded a splendid view of the fair little city, there dwent a wealthy banker and his beautiful young wife, whose greatest joy in life was their darling little son, a son of some three years or thereabouts, who bore the name of his father, Dick Belden. But the father, Dick Belden, had not always been a man of wealth. Far from it. He was born of poor but honest parents, within a stone's throw of Abraham Lincoln's tomb and like "Honest Abe" he studied diligently and long of evenings after working hours to attain his education which fitted him for the position which he now held. In his early life, after he had ventured into the world alone to make his way, he had taught school but, being of a roving disposition, and desirous of seeing some of the world, rather than reading so much about it, he soon tired of the monotony of the school-room and started out to explore the world for himself. It was the same old story, over and over again of which we have heard so much all of our lives. Fame did not come to him as easily as he thought it would and Dame Fortune though not the most courteed of all his desires, stood long and far away. But, above all the hardships which he endured, and above all the trials and temptations which he endured, and above all the trials and temptations which he encountered, he always maintained that principles he learned to understand from his early boyhood. That principle which has always made all truly great men beloved, honored and trusted by their friends and fellow countrymen. The principle of truthfulness, unselfishness and honor. And while it may be conceeded that "a rolling stone gathers no moss." We all know full well that the brightest and most polished stones are those which have rolled and traveled the farthest and Dick Belden, at his then present position in life, was a splendid example of the latter. A world wide experienced soldier of adventure he obeyed the laws of Nature, of his country and of God, but never forgot that there were others in the world beside himself. Charity was his right hand and full often had he suffered the pangs of hunger and felt the deprivation of luxuries by his self denial and assistance to his fellow men of the world. experiences, and believes that a glorious death is to be preferred to an Continued, on page 6. ignominous life. It is to be hoped that America will awake to this fact before it is too late. $2.00 THE YEAR Number Thirty-nine NEGRO DAY IN FICTION In the last eight months the Negro has had quite a day in fiction. Novelist have seemingly discovered his unexplored local color is a rich field in which they can not only earn a quick name, but a well-filled purse as well. Anything which causes anxiety attracts attention. And if it months the Negro has had quite a day in fiction. Novelist have seemingly discovered his unexplored local color is a rich field in which they can not only earn a quick name, but a well-filled purse as well. Anything which causes controversy attracts attention. And if a thing commands the interest of the public, it is sure to sell. Hence the popularity of T. S. Stribling, H. A. Shands and Clement Wood. Irving S. Cobb is already a popular man, but he won this prominence largely on Negro stories, which have culminated in his first novel, "J. Poindexter, Colored." Stribling is from Tennessee. Southern psychology. This accounts for the preposterous conclusions drawn in "Birthright." The book was issued last Spring and is by this time quite familiar with our readers. Detailed comment is not necessary by us. But suffice to say any Negro—from Harvard, or even Tuskegee, has more "spunk" than to marry a girl whom he knows will soon bear a child by a white father. There are too many more good colored ladies who haven't succumbed to their squalid environments, waiting for all colored men of real or less ability and attainments. Incidentally, however, Stribling has produced a kind book. Shands is from Texas. He writes a vivid story and seems honest enough. It is hardly probable he intended being so-honest—in view of recent strides of the Ku Klux Klan. Never the less, the book is written now and we judge what the author presents. "White and Black" is a short, complete course in Southern race relationships. Any one desiring a comprehensive picture of the rural South is respectfully referred to this volume. It is not propaganda and the author is not a Northern Missionary. "Nigger." Don't get angry—no harm meant. This is really the title of the latest thesis on the "eternal problem." All you whites and near whites are carefully labelled this time. No more octoroons, quadroons, and mulattoes. No. Just "Niggers." We will surely get somewhere if the world doesn't collapse. It has taken sixty years to prove we are all alike. This is more nerve than we had bargained for. "Son a man painted the picture!" We have discovered quite a bit about New York we did not know from reading "J. Polindexter, Colored." Especially several new things about Harlem. But we would expect Irvin S. Cobb to know such. He was once a star newspaper reporter. We concede that Mr. Cobb has an unlimited store of pleasant sallies. His book abounds with them. But he, like all other "white philosophers on the Negro Problem," has failed to touch our "better element"—our "400." This is because Mr. Cobb can't get into first class Negro homes. If he did he would come in as a social equal and not a superior. Now Cobb is from Kentucky! He can frequent Harlem cabarets and theatres—or some of the social st might be present—but Cobb is the best of the best of into a 188th or 189th parlor—never. "Jeff" does not touch on these scenes. The fellow needs to pull his speech in line, forget his "now-towing," read the few histories of his race and attend the Friends of Negro Dom Forum regularly. In that way he could get primed for initiation into the ranks of the leaders of New Thought. But hanging around billiard rooms and other such places would never get him anywhere. It is true, however, that Jeff has unusual natural ability. His homely wit only needs coaching in the right channels to result in the greatest good for his race. We don't know what tune the writers will strike next. So far, very good—at least an improvement, because nothing has been done worthwhile before. But as time goes on we and the writers all just—will advance, slowly if it is not definite. Don't grieve over it. We found out white people don't know everything—even Southern white people.

Good singing by the choir wsa a feature of each service. The Sunday School was interesting The banner for collection was awarded Adult Bible Class No. 1, of which Mr. S. W. Brumfield is teacher. For several Sundays, Senior Class No. 2, composed of young men, Mr. C. W. Smith teacher, held the banner; but on Missionary Sunday, Dec. 3, Senior Class No. 1, Lydia Smith Ward, teacher, was the happy winner.

Greggs, Pastor. The people who attended church last Sunday at independent entered into a spirit of worship that was greatly inspirational. Rev. Greggs presented a stirring message taken from Rom. 13: 11-13 at the morning service. Brother Irving preached Sunday evening. Three persons joined church. Just thirteen days from today the Chorus of seventy-five voices under the direction of Prof. Johnson, Church Cholister will present the cantata "Ruth the Moabites." The leading roles in this cantata will be sung by Miss Louise Beavers, Miss Nelly Johnson, Miss Faustina Scott, Mr. Geo. Johnson, and Mr. George Beavers, Jr. Rev.

Hudson, Superintendent of the southern California Missionary Society was present with us Sunday and delivered a great sermon upon the subject, "Stewardship." The Doctor's vivisit meant a source of encouragement to our work, the results of which will be made public in the near future. He was greatly impressed with the music the choir furnished. The C. F. Society under the leadership of Mrs. McNear, had a rousing meeting. The pastor filled his post Sunday evening. Subject "The Power of Christianity" Special services next Sunday. The Pastor will fill the pulpit at both services. The chorus has two engagements the month of January to sing in two large churches (white). Dr. T. E. Griffith, Pastor Sunday-school was well attended and an interesting review of the lesson conducted by Dr. Carter. Under the capable direction of Miss Griffith the singing of the school has taken on new inspiration and shows marked improvement. The children are deeply interested in the preparation of their Christmas exercises and the cooperation of the parents is asked in getting the children to practice on time. Although the inclement weather interfered to some extent with the attendance, a good sized congregation enjoyed the excellent sermon by Dr. J. Madison Young in the morning service. Dr. Young chose his text from Luke 19:10. "For the Son of Man came to Seek and Find that which was Lost." Dr. Carter preached a short but interesting sermon from the Beatitudes at the evening service. The Senior and Junior Choir furnished alternate numbers to the pleasure of the congregation. One new member was received during the day. THE REAL NATIONAL WEALTH—LABOR. By M. Wall. The last five years have seen us foregoing the pleasure of giving gold pieces at Christmas time to our loved ones. The exigencies of war and rate of exchange forced our Uncle Samuel to withhold this pleasure. They were as scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth. Our treasury is bulging with the yellow metal this year. You can get them for the asking. We are the richest nation in the world. We note in President Harding's recent speech that he advocates a law to tax the billions of tax free corporation certificates. Corporations that are capitalized at figures that the average mind is unable to conceive. Corporations whose tenacles are so far reaching that they intervene international politics. So valuable that they breed wars. So powerful that they control governments. Truly, we are rich in this world's goods. We have built and operate in modern style 40 per cent of the world's railroads. Land that contains untold wealth lies untouched. So rich, so vast that we could live within ourselves. This overflowing stream of precious metal that has found its way into our nation's coffers were produced by labor. These corporations are kept at the peak of production by labor; Henry Ford says; "Produce, Fill More Needs." That demands labor. When J. J. Hill planned a transcontinental railroad labor opened the rich and golden West. The law of supply and demand controls labor as it does any commodity. The railroads are short of labor, consequently with higher wages the lure the steel workers. The steel workers send agents to the southland to fill their vacancies. Just recently were killed and three wounded when an agent from Mississippi attempted to take five Lousiana families to work a plantation. Labor seems to be more precious than gold. Owing to the scarcity of unskilled labor the Secretary of Immigration has petitioned the government to amend the present stringent laws to alleviate the situation. The destiny of the nation does not lie in amount of gold bullion, but in its power to produce. The capitalist with his millions amounts to nothing except when labor makes them produce. Mr. Dough has so impressed on Mr. Dubb's mind that he is the power behind the throne, until Mr. Dubb has become hypnotized into believing that he does not amount to anything in this corner of the universe. Labor is the Real Wealth of the Nation. We are a potent factor in each and every undertaking. Whether skilled or unskilled if at the zenith of our ability to produce we can demand our rights, without favor in the course of progress and upbuilding of our country. Don't be a day dreamer. Throw off your lethargy. Never pass an opportunity to let the money interests know that you are as indispensable to them as they are to you. Labor has never received its full share of the glory. It has never received a fractional part of the sur- plids it produces. Time will smooth them eventually to the satisfaction of both capital and labor. Don't be soothed by the lullaby of wealth: Labor is the back-bone of the nation. Phone 824-616 CLINTON T. ROSS ATTORNEY-AT-LAW —Practice in all the Courts— Office 800 S. Central Ave. Editor of the Eagle: Will you kindly permit me to thank my many friends who came out to Duarte, California, the first Sunday in December to assist us in our ground breaking for the new church.

A large number of friends from Long Beach, Wattg, Monrovia and Pasadena were present. Music was furnished by the choir of Second Baptist Church at Monrovia, Rev. Davis' church. At night the services, were turned to the attention. Mrs. Dr. Phelps had charge. A fine program was prepared by Mrs. Castle. We want to thank all that helped to make our first effort the great success it was, especially Brs. and Sister Williams. Sister Annie Greene and Sister Steward, Sister Hanford and Sister Fisher for the big barbecue on Thanksgiving. Miss Jennie Lockett for marshaling the young in two entertainments and all the Ladies that helped in serving dinner to our guest on Sunday. Our collection will reach about $400, with some subscriptions. WILLIAM PRINCE Pastor, Duarte A. M. E., Church COMMITTEE ON INDUSTRIAL RE SEARCH AT WORK By E. J. Moore The Committee on Industrial Research recently appointed by the Forum to formulate plans for invading the fields of industry heretofore closed to colored people is still at work. It will require much time and work to accomplish its activities. There has been much criticism of such a procedure by the Forum by some who contend that the Negroes should make places of his own for employment of his people. Of course this is alright as far as it goes, every one knows that it will be many years before the Negro business men will be prepared to take care of the thousands of men and women who are prepared to fill almost any place now occupied by the whites. Must they sit down and wait till the Negro has built rail roads, street car railways, gas plants, electric lighting plants, big department stores, etc., before they aspire to seek employment in these places? There are several thousand Pulman porters and other trainmen in the employ of rail road companies, yet I have seen no record of a Negro owning a railroad. The fact is we are spending thousands of dollars annually on the railroads, street cars, in department, stores, and there can be no reason advanced why capable Negroes should not be employed in these places. It is the best way to mold plans and ideas for conducting successful businesses of our own, for this is the best training school for future usefulness. It might be well to mention the fact here and now that some of those who are loudest in opposing the plans of the Committee on Industrial Research in its quest for seeking better employment for our group, would be among the first to rush in and take advantage of any opening this committee might succeed in making. Let me also add that this work should not be confined to the Forum alone. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. should be deeply interested in just such work as this, and in fact, every civic body in this city should lend a hand in battering down the door that is closed against the skilled Negro worker. NOTICE Los Angeles, Dec. 4, 1922. There is no doubt in my mind that those present at the meeting of the Junior Missionary Society Sunday, November 26th at 1546 W. 36th Place enjoyed real treat. The lecture by Dr. W. H. Cockerell on care of the teeth was timely and accorded with a hearty welcome. So much so that the Dr. was asked to finish his lecture at our next meeting. Words of Commendation to the program committee in their efforts to continually keep something of interest before the public. The Carson sisters spared no pains in their efforts to entertain the body. The Society is making ready for its regular Christmas work of Charity. With the wonderful growth of the year we should be able to put over a big program this year. All friends are asked to help. Come and hear Dr. Cockrell in his instructive lecture on the care of the teeth. Also Mrs. Alice Harvey sing. At the home of Misses Clotel and Inez Bennett, 203 Benton Street, Sunday, December 10.

The A BUSINESS HEAD (Special to the Eagle) DETROIT, Dec. 23.—With the close of the present year at hand and business about to be temporarily suspended after a hard year's labor for Christmas Festivities, the thought uppermost in one's mind is what of the automobile outlook for 1923 from a commercial standpoint. Here in this great automobile manufacturing center where one's eyes constantly look upon thousands of new cars being completed and shipped daily to all four points of the globe, the conclusion would be reached by the untrained mind, an over-production was at hand and all plants should discontinue entirely or curtail their output. However, one has but to look at the back orders on file and the conclusion will be reached that the outlook for 1923 holds the most promising prospects for a successful year the business has ever hoped to enjoy. The large number of cars sold during the present year shows that prices are stabilizing themselves and the public is again in a buying mood. It visualizes the efforts of the manufacturing concerns to make 1923 a year just as big if not bigger than any preceding ones. Let the automobile public draw the curtain over 1922 and forget that which has been unpleasant in the trade's attempt to be square shooting with them and both can anticipate a better and brighter future. HEAD OF CONCERN GENIUS The Western Auto Supply Company whose ad appears elsewhere in the columns of this paper was started in Kansas City in 1909 by Mr. George Pepperdine, who to day holds the position of President. Mr. Pepperdine has proven himself to be a genius through the fact that this concern has through his guidance established CLIPPINAE 7th at Cen CHEVRO CLIPPINAER-KINCAID 7th at Central Ave. CHEVROLET 24 HOUR DAY SERVICE DEPENDABLE USED CARS FOR At Reasonable Prices DABLE USED CARS FOR At Reasonable Prices DEPENDABLE USED CARS FOR SALE At Reasonable Prices ber, in the country.

AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION ANTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ACCOM- PLISHES MUCH: The Automobile Association of Southern California has done much to prevent accidents, relieving congestion and assisting the traveling automobile public to reach their various destinations with dispatch by instituting throughout the great Southwest a system of sign information. Twice since its origin which had its birth at Eighth and Olive has it been forced to seek new quarters so great has its volume of business become. Aside from its efforts above mentioned it maintains and operates a tremendous insurance business handling thousands of policies daily, practically at cost to the public.

Statistics gathered from this department alone show that hundreds of cars are stolen weekly despite their efforts to prevent same by the public leaving their cars unlocked. A legal department is constantly on the job ironing out differences and smoothing conditions brought about by misunderstandings and accidents. The courts through the skill and efficiency of this department alone is robbed annually of trying hundreds of cases. It also maintains for the benefit of its members towing cars that are kept constantly on the go administering to those having accidents. Oh Yes, we have all, quire the services of an officer, assisted by Officer Corley. For a small fee you are towed home and spared the embarrassment of spending the night in the country with the prowling wild animal brigade or professional highwaymen about the city streets. New Quarters An elegant new building but recently completed, located at Adams and Figueroa, thoroughly modern in every respect and large enough to take care of all business for years to come awaits this splendid organization. And when domiciled in their new quarters after the First of the Year, Los Angeles can truly boast of having housed in its confines an auto association that has and is accomplishing more than any similar body in the world. All told it gives employment directly and indirectly to several hundred employees. The Cadillac car whose destiny reposes comfortably in hands of Don Lee, if all reports are true, is to have, as a reward for faithful service rendered the public, a brand new home on 7th Street near Bixel. The building is to be seven stories high, entirely concrete. Mr. Gummey, one of the department heads is looking forward toward a crowded house on the opening night scheduled for March 1, 1923. In the mean time the used car department is offering at very low prices some of the best bargains in Cadillacs to be had any where in the city, and to take it from one who knows our friend Troy who is a big factor in seeing that all patrons pet service says "Don't overlook this one big opportunity to surprise your friends by showing up on the scene on Christmas in a Cad.

"In 1900 the government census ranked Los Angeles thirty-fifth in population among the cities of the United States. The government census of 1920 ranked Los Angeles the tenth largest city in population.

"The Race Horse lives and he will as long as men love to see the sparks fly from his steel-shod hoofs; as long as men love the racing spirit imprisoned in flesh and blood and as long as men bet on training speed and endurance. "I came to save horses whose mouths are bloody with the grip of the Spanish bit, whose bodies are crusted with festering sores and whose shoulders are galled by their load. "I came to save horses who fall on slippery roads and who are laashed and kicked until they struggle to their feet and stand quivering with the nervous shock and the hideous pain of strained muscles and aching joints. "I come to save horses who are starved until their bones pierce their hides; horses who suffer thirst until the white foam drips from their lips; horses who look at their inhuman masters with bloodshot eyes, as they are beaten over the head and prodded with sticks when they are stalled on the road. "Oh God, how horses suffered before I came to liberate them! "The long, long years that multiplied into centuries while I lay in the brain of man like a butterfly in a chrysalis.

But I wouldn't go if my joints were stiff. I couldn't turn a wheel if I was without gas, oil and water. I was so proud of my speed that I smoked and puffed as I flew over the long, long miles. And I was so glad to be useful, even if I was unbeautiful. But now I am king of the traffic. I have evolved from the ugly catapillar into the winged creature that shines with fine enamel, burnished silver and glittering glass. Within I am a mass of exquisite mechanism and the place where my lady rides is as lovely as a boudoir. "I am groomed like a race horse and no one dares to kick and beat me because my wheels are broken or my engine dead. They feed me and water me and oil me. They treat me well. They handle me with skill. They don't goad me at top speed over icy roads or wet pavements, for if they take any liberties with me, I know how to punish them. "I know how to skid! I know how to smash their costly car into kindling wood. I know how to maim people and how to take life. And when I'm not treated decently, I do it. Oh how I laugh and call on the spirits of tortured horses to rejoice with me when I have evened their score. "But if the drivers are real men and not speed maniacs; If they have nerves that are well controlled; if they know when to stop and when am more tractable than a obey them when they give me gas and I go slow when their rock is on the brake.

I am glad that men love me and pour out their gold that they may own me. I am glad they respect me and that while I am only wood and metal, yet they dare not abuse me as they have abused the flesh of the horse.

NEW YEARS DAY. The Annual Rose Tournament held in Pasadena every new year's day gives promise this year of being the largest and best ever held. For a period covering many years back thousands have gathered annually in the above neighboring city to witness the different features of the day included amongst which are the great floral parade with its hundreds of gaily floral bedecked automobiles, the annual East against the West football classic. Every year congestion on the highways joining the two cities is so great many are caught in the jam denied the opportunity of witnessing the parade. Those in charge of the tournament advise that an early start be made so that one may allow themselves ample time to reach the parking districts adjacent to the line of march and secure a desirable location. There is room for all if every one did not wait till the last minute. Several times the colored citizenry of the Crown City have entered floats and carried prizes and it is to be hoped they shall not let their ambitions to capture one this year trail in the dust.

SECTION 2—Page 2 ANNOUNCEMENT We take great pleasure in announcing to our readers the issuing of this classified automotive section in this Christmas edition. To our knowledge this is the first edition of its kind ever undertaken by a negro paper. The Eagle congratulates itself in having solicited and secured the services of Mr. E. L. Dorsey to edit this section. Mr. Dorsey has had 15 years active service in the automotive field and the successful editing of this section is largely due to his personal supervision. MGR. EDITOR. ATTENTION The one object, two fold in its purpose, that we have in mind above every thing else in issuing this automotive section, is first to give each auto owner of our group, some twenty-five hundred in number, an accurate surface idea of amount of cash that is being spent annually just for upkeep to say nothing of purchase price of cars in question and to bring each owner in direct contact with those concerns that not only guarantee you your money's worth but in a general way show our group that they desire their patronage by soliciting same in the most direct way available, through the columns of our colored papers and those of the California Eagle in particular, which unquestionably has the largest bona fide circulation of any negro journal in the West. $200,000. Over two hundred thousand dollars is spent annually by the automotive public of this group. This being a fact, the question naturally arises then are you to just simply dole out such an amount, promiscuously or shall we study trade conditions and environments and concentrate as near as possible our efforts to directing this amount in avenues of business where it is solicited rather than where it is not wanted. Facts and Figures One retail automobile concern alone has according to their books written up over $20,000 in negro business. Several wholesale concerns that know where of they speak have done from three to five thousand dollars each in business with this group. For the month of November alone one wholesale concern received an order for over one thousand seven hundred dollars. These are just a few of the many concerns that are waxing fat on business given them by the group. The Eagle has gone to some expense and time in collecting facts and data that will appear in its columns from time to time under this section, substantiating its contention that it is time to call a halt and find out who's before the parad proceeds down the avenu of Expenditure. The auto dealers, and accessory concerns whose ads appear in the advertisement columns of this edition have been carefully solicited. They are well established and successful business concerns, whose annual balance sheets include profitable returns from business done with our group. They are worthy of and take this means of soliciting your patronage directly if retailers and indirectly if wholesale through the medium of the retailers named in their ads. COMMENTS Subsequent to and following America's entry into the great world war, the automobile industry became much disturbed. A well balanced, nicely oiled and highly efficient and systemized business became just the reverse. Many concerns quit manufacturing autos all together, others were taken over by the Government and turned in the munitions plants, some such as the great Ford and Chevrolet plants managed to maintain a blance of normalcy by conducting business on a fifty-fifty basis, that was fifty per cent government and fifty per cent public. The creating of new business actually ceased; in fact the bottom fell out of everything over night, so to speak. Immediately following armistice the thermometer of production started to rise. No one waited for actual signing of peace, and well they didn't for the then incumbent administration was so dominated by individualism that it took nearly two years, in fact a change in political faith to turn the trick and a suffering and much abused automobile industry, to say nothing of an anxious waiting automobile public would have even in event that it didn't perish become so weak that foreign capital scouting for new business and business adventures would have had a considerable toe hold by now. Never in the history of the auto game which stretches over a period of some twenty-five years, has there been such a condition created by such an acute situation as that which has at last begun to clarify itself. These conditions bespeak for the tire and accessory business as well as that of the automobile. New and unheard of manufacturing and retail concerns began to crop up on every side in competition with well established business. All entertaining the well-grounded idea that peace, as it did, must come, and a war burdened and troubled world, and America in general and this great State of California in particular with its registration in cars headed toward the million mark and incidentally our own growing city, Los Angeles, would need mobile assistance to help swing business from a war footing basis back to the plane of peace and the resumption of manufacturing in general which is one of the chief assets of this nation. where whites are the same. If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened Prices which at the start of the war began rapidly rising continued to soar upward and onward toward the celestial realms of financial ruins, in fact AUTOMOTIVE EDITOR BUSY DAY old man profiteering ws openly accused of having had a hand in the pie. In the summer of 1920 Henry Ford of Automobile fame cracked the whip which in a large measure regulates prices and an immediate resumption followed. Dropsand cuts have continued in this self same direction until low prices antedate those of 1914 and quality of production has never been higher. Prosperity in Sight As a result of that which has and is happening prosperity must and will ultimately come to all. Consumer as well as producer. Chaotic conditions in so far as the automobile business is concerned is passed. Profiteering ceases to be profitable, and to mobile Industry throughout the country has a better opportunity for success, progress and development, which in itself means much more to the public, than it has ever had before. Colored EMPLOYEES Colored EMPLOYEES Automobile Industry in City of Los Angeles Employs Large Colored Force. The automobile industry in this city employs a large, competent and efficient colored force. The positions held span a large variety of vocations, including heads of departments, clerks, salesmen, demonstrators, auto mechanics, delivery men, garage service men and custodians. Many filling some of the best places started pushing the broom and cleaning cupidors, one of the few jobs generally left open to the colored employee seeking a livelihood, to the exclusion of other races. In many such instances highly educated and efficiently trained men have been discovered, and in such cases where one's ability, rather than his or her complexion, is taken in consideration by such firms employing them that individual is today enjoying "equality of opportunity." A thing in itself that all should be granted irrespective of race or creed. Here in a city of over 700,000 population, nearly 50,000 of which are colored Americans, a large fast growing city under whose canopy every nation and race of the world is represented, the fact that over 2000 of the race earn their daily livelihood in competition with the rest bespeaks in highest terms the fairness of the employer, generally speaking, to secure competent help from what ever source it may come. The pay roll itself is in excess of $180,000 per month. On the other hand there are no few concerns that have not learned that in order to secure a share of the large melon that is annually being distributed by twenty-five hundred auto owners of the race amounting in dollars and cents terms to over $2000,000 annually, they must, especially where prices are the same, indulge in reciprocity to some extent. The present system of government is balanced by the accumulation and distribution of wealth and a race, nation or individual that does not possess some portion of same or make an effort to secure some is not going to be considered in the shuffle. Hence, the races' declaration—Reclopacity Many individuals, members of the group realizing the future possibilities that the automobile business held out for one desiring to enter the field, have within the past year or two entered same and are doing well. The average garage, tire concern or oil station conducted by them is well patronized by the citizenry of Los Angeles in general. pares favorably with that of his Caucasian friend, if one is inclined to consider such a criterian. Location, equipment, and service have been carefully planned and layed out. Several of them belong to various automobile trade associations and are showing in every way visible their desire to conduct business according to Ford the Hoyle of the automobile game. One of the largest concerns doing business has a monthly pay roll of over $3,500. Others vary from $1000 to $2000 and many firms $500 to $1000. These figures alone tend to show that even though in its infancy the future holds forth a successful business career for those inclined to suffer a few hardships while making the grade. SERVICE OF MER IT REWARDED LONG SERVICE COUPLED WITH ABILITY MERITS REWARD Down in the receiving department of Weinstock and Nichols, wholesale dealers in auto equipment and accessories, just as one enters, passes to the left and halts at the desk they come in contact with an individual, the subject of this skutch, Mr. H. Patterson, known to every one in and around the building, and upon the street as just plain Harry. Harry started at the bottom rung of employment with this concern when it first opened its doors some 10 years or more ago, and by constant attention to duty, his caney ability to absorb information, and his every desire to help give the company a greater name soon attracted the superintendent and another colored employee was in addition added to the force to take up the vacancy created by his promotion. Today he stands guard over the receiving department, responsible for the correct checking in of every article that this large concern purchases daily from all quarters of the globe, amounting to thousands of dollars. Aside from this he spends his leisure moments rounding up business for the firm instead. Incidentally Harry wears the same size hat he didtun years or so ago, when he and the broom were close associates. The broom has sworn to give the pencil which robbed it of its association with Harry a good beating, so Harry never turns it loose for fear of the broom carrying out its threat. So far as is known they are the only two that are at outs with each other over Harry's rise. From the head of the firm on down to the cat employed to catch mice, Harry has one chain of friends. Los Angeles boasts of something in excess of two hundred and fifty four colored chameleons. Precious to the war they managed jointly with colored hotel employees well equipped quarters at 8th and San Julian Sts. The war made such inroads into the ranks of their membership that they were forced to suspend business in the early part of 1918 and since that time until recently have been drifting upon the sea of disorganization. Recently there was a round up of old and new blood and the result is that a splendid organization, the California Chameleurs' Club is again being formed. INFORMATION SOUGHT 1.

WARREN SERVICE A general discussion took place the other day over at Warren's Service Station on Central Avenue, dispensers of Richfield Gas, about traffic congestion and what should be done to relieve the situation. Many solutions were advanced. Some were for elevating the street car system. Many suggested widening the streets, others sald regulate parking, nad cut out the use of automobiles. Finally one customer who had little or nothing to say up to this time suggested 'that if every body used Richfield, there would be no traffic problems to solve and he gave four reasons why (1.) The high grade of gas turned out by their refineries would permit every driver to dispense with the shifting of gears when slowing down. (2.) Starting in high from a standing stop would be possible in many instances. (3.) Owing to the great mileage one gets using Richfield fewer would blockk traffic by running out of gas. (4.) Climatic and atmospheric changes would have no effect and concluding he rmarked that if it wasn't for Richfield there would be no joy racing and the use of Auto- CHAUFFEU MEETS EVERY M Presa., Ray Henderson 827 BIRCH ST.

Borah of Idaho said in an address tonight in Symphony Hall. His subject was "the recognition of Russia" and he advocated that step by the United States as a means of averting European conflagration. Calling for "unqualified" recognition of the present Government of Russia, Senator Borah told the huge crowd that filled Symphony Hall that the recognition of a Government did not necessarily carry approval of that country's institutions. Many Governments in the past would not have received recognition had the United States haggled over their internal regulations, he said. In defense of the present-day Russian institutions Senator Borah declared "Life is as safe under the Soviet Government tonight s it is in Boston." And, he might have added, much safer than in the Southern states of these United States, since Soviet Russia has not, and never will, adopt one of this country's most infamous institutions—lynching! KLANSMEN ON SCREEN CHEERED BY N. Y. AUDIENCE! Klan Orators to Defy Mayor Hyllan- Promise 'Education!' Drive Soon. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(Crusader sader Service) Revival of "The Clansman" in this city was received with yells, cheers, stamping and whistling at the Selwyn Theatre last night. Last night's audience seemed to be composed largely of modern Klausmen, to judge by the cheers every time a Clansman appeared on the screen. A few bold enough to hiss the picture were answered by such crys "Throw the dirty snakes out—kick 'em out." The demoposition has caused deep concern among thoughtful Negroes here, indicating as it does that the Klan boasts of an immense membership in New York was not all empty talk It is said that the revival of the picture was at the instance of Ku Klux Klan organizers in this city. Deep interest is also felt in the promise of the Klan officials to ahswer Mayor Hylan's challenge by sending a number of leading Klansmen to New York to make public addresses. So far as known only three of the national lecturers of the Klan have been working recently in New York City, but these have confined their speeches to secret or to semi-secret meetings, admission to which could be had by invitation only. That several of these meetings have been held at the home of Edward A. Wuppermann, banker of 57 West 75th Street, became known yesterday when Wuppermann, issued a statement explaining how these meetings came to be held at his home, and exposing the cause of Kluxism at these meetings several judges and many lawyers were present. KLAN TO BOYCOTT NEW YORK CITY KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. 20-7 (Crusader Service) Promising retaliation for Mayor Hylan's attack on the Klan, the Rev. Roger C. Fife, one of the numerous Christian ministers who are members of the Klan, bitterly assailed the city of New York's mayor and police force for their threats against Klan organizers who may attempt to operate in New York and declared that as a result of Mayor Hylan's opposition to the Klan "ten thousand Middle Western merchants will refuse this Spring to go to New York to buy goods." The reverened Christian gentleman spoke before 800 fellow Christians at the Temple Christian Church, Kansas City, Kan. The church was too small to hold the numerous Christian people trying to hear their Klansman leader. ANOTHER N. Y. MINISTER CHAM- PIONS KU KLUXISM The Rev. Dr. Hillia Espouses Cause of Kline Americanism. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(Crusader Service) Another New York minister of the Gospel has come out for the Klan in the person of the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn. Dr. Hillis speaking last night on the Klan attacked the enemies of the organization and declared that the principles for which the Klan stood should be defended by every white American who is not under hate domination of the Church of Rome. He declared that the Klan had not been convicted of the many crimes charged against it, and ignored the difficulty of fastening upon a secret organization whose membership is not known responsibility for crimes committed under the cover of night and behind the shield of a mask of night sheet. "Multitudes of criminal charges have been brought against the Ku Klux Klan, but far too many news papers in running own the charges have not found anywhere to be Mason and Dixon's like, and numerous proofs of these alleged crimes, not apparently has there been one crime by the Ku Klux established before a court of law." The crimes committed by the Ku Klux south of the Mason and Dixon line apparently had no interest for this latest addition of the Christian clergy to the Ku Klux Klan N. Y. POLICE GIVE DISTRICT ATTORNEY LIST OF 800 IN KLAN Drive Against Ku Klux Now Centers in District Attorney, With Mayor's Aid NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(Crusader Service) The first sign of police activity against the Ku Klux Klan since Mayor Hylan issued his instructions to Police Commissioner Enright to run the Klan out of the city, came yesterday, when all the evidence against and information concerning the Klan in the possession of the Police Department was turned over to the District Attorney. According to acting District Attorn- ey Ferdinand Pecora, the most important material received from the Police Department was a list of approximately 800 eligged Klansmen, with their addresses. The greater number of these are residents of New York City end of native American stock, but among the names are many living in the metropolitan section of New Jersey. Although Mr. Pecora did not say so, the list is believed to be several months old and one obtained from a former Grand Goblin of the Klan. Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 14, 1922. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bass.: Just a line to let you know we arrived "OK." Had a very successful trip. The weather was fine all the way down. Had no car trouble. Stopped over in Phoenix a few hours. Left L. A. Monday Dec. 4th. Arrived here in Tucson Friday 8th. Found everything in fine shape. Will write you more in detail and give you some news from mines in my next letter. Some news for you to publish in this week's paper. W. T. Allen and party braved the Desert of Arizona to Comabobi Mountains once more to complete the work on the Missouri group of selling claims. This being Mr. Allen's second trip to the mines in two months time to which both trips were made very successfully. He further states that the property is making a very rich showing. I am more than pleased with this great showing of rich property. Watch the Eagle for further news from the mines. Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Allen's Headquarter's are in Tucson, P. O. Box 776. They have rented their home at 1163 E. 38th Street furnished and wish to inform their many friends. Those that accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Allen on his trip to the mines were Mrs. Allen, his wife; Mr. E. B. Patterson (who has braved the desert trails several times before, and has successfully piloted each time his party) Mr. H. Hogan, who also has made the trip before. Mr. G. W. Miller, President and founder was very jubilant on their arrival, and met them at the house he had prepared for them. TWO GRAND JURIES TO SIFT KLAN DRIVE; INDICTMENTS ASKED Judge Mancuso Says Invasion is Aimed at All Races, Colors and Creeds. NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—(Crusader Service) An investigation of the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in New York County by the two Grand Juries now sitting was directed yesterday by Judge Francis X. Mancuso of the Court of General Sessions. Judge Mancuso, speaking from the bench, declared that the invasion of New York City was aimed not only at the Negroes, Jews and Catholics, but at all who did not accept the Klan's principles. He directed the members of the Grand Juries to conduct a thorough investigation and to return indictments if the evidence should warrant such action. In his charge to the regular Grand Jury, Judge Mancuso said, in part: Jury, Judge Mancuso said, in part, "I have been informed that several meetings of the Klan were held in this city, at which the full regalia was used, consisting of a gown and mask. It is your duty, gentlemen, to make an investigation of this matter and all other matters referred to by me with a view to ascertaining whether any of the acts committed by the Klan come within the purview of the penal statutes of this State. For that reason I invite your attention to Section 710 of the penal law, which provides as follows: "An assemblage in public houses or other places of three or more persons disguised by having their faces painted, discolored or concealed is unlawful, and every individual so disguised, present thereat, is guilty of a misdemeanor." SEES PLOT-OF KU KLUX AGAINST GOVERNOR ADA, Okla., Dec. 20.—(Crusader Service) Judge J. W. Bolen of the Pontocot County District Court, in which docketed the bribery case against Governor Robertson of Oklahoma, issued a statement tonight, declaring that his observations convinced him that the Ku Klux Klan was organizing a jury to try the Governor and bring in a verdict of guilty no matter what the evidence. This is only one of many instances in which the Ku Klux Klan is plainly seen driving at the State power of various states. It is one of the rare cases in which a judge or other public official has had the courage to oppose the wishes of the Klan. LIGHTFOOT GETS KLAN WARNING Atlantic City Attorney, Opposing School Segregation, Sent Threatening Letter. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 20.—(Crusader Service) Indications pointing to the formation of an Atlantic County Chapter of the Ku Klux Klan were seen here today, when it became known that James A. Lightfoot, one of the chief opponents of the Board of Education's plan for the segregation of colored school children, received a warning from the Klan. "Segregation is right," the letter received by Attorney Lightfoot said, and it was on the engraved letterhead of the K. K. K., bearing an address in Atlanta, Ga. The envelope was postmarked Atlantic City. "We do not and will not seek any trouble," said Attorney Lightfoot, in the only answer he has deigned to give the Klan letter, "but we are willing to meet the Ku Klux Klan on Artic, Baltic or any other avenue in this city any day man for man, and if we lose we will accept the hardships of the vanquished. We trust there is nothing to it; that there will be no harm done to any Negro citizen day or night, because we know it will bring about a situation that will be long remembered here." In the meantime, prominent Negroes here think that Attorney Lightfoot has given coinage to a sentence that should be impressed in letters of fire upon every Negro brain; in order that the race may cause its suicide Jimmy Murphy 1st EARL COOPER 2nd HARRY HARTZ 3rd RICHFIELD WINS AGAIN (In Competition with Leading Gasolines) A New World’s Record.

When Jimmie Murphy, popular Los Angeles driver flashed under the line a winner of the big annual racing classic held at Beverly Hills Speedway recently it wasn't gasoline alone that assisted him so much as it was Richfield Gasoline.

Richfield possesses a world of power, and insures one of a quick pick-up and is capable of furnishing long millage. All motorists, whether driving a truck, touring car or racer, insist on these three things and Richfield supplies the answer.

Down the sea of the centuries man sails the ship of his dreams seeking the harbor of happiness and achievement. This is the deathless expedition of the ages. Centuries slip into eternity, philosophies flourish and fall, truths live their hour, and are truths no longer, but the quest for happiness goes on forever.

Those who took a chance and meandered out to Madison Square Gardens on last Wednesday night were well repaid for their effort, for on this occasion Matchmaker Toles put on one of the best programs of the season. Six rattling bouts were staged and each one was for blood and the best man won or made a draw on hsi merit. The Main Event — Sunny Jim the San Diego fighting deamon was pitted against vicious Victor Alexander. Victor is right in the heavyweight class, while Sunny Jim is only a light-heavyweight, but Sunny by his craftiness and ring generalship won all the way from Victor and earned the decision. The principal reason that Vic could not win was the fact that he could not hit Sunny Jim, and Sunny Jim did hit Vic almost at will. Of course if Vic could have connected with his mighty wallop a different story of the main event might be written. The Semi Wind Up. Eddie Morton of Bakersfield and Blackie Rice were pitted against each other at catch weights. Now just remember that this bout was a humdinger from start to finish. Blackie Rice was the winner all the way. He jabbed, ducked, got away and then would come back with that mighty wallop and was too much for Eddie at this time. Eddie Morton let it be said to his credit, never backed up an inch and displayed a gameness seldom equalled in the fistic arena. He is a coming boy and with experience will no doubt make his mark. Blackie Rice is one of the cleverest batters in these parts and it will always take a top notcher to hold him pay. the Other Bouts Kid Blondie vs: Hobo Alexander fought fast and furious for four rounds with the Hobo on the long end of the money. Kid Blondie had one bad round when the Hobo knocked him down, except for this the bout would have been a draw. Blondie wants a return match. Kid Sickum vs: Kid Cicero fought four rounds to a draw. Cicero stood up almost out, but Sickum failed to finish his man and it was a draw. Sailor Price vs: Young Burton stuck up in a rattling go. Burton was there all of the time, but Burton was too fast for him and got the decision. Zulu Kid vs: Young Ford fought four rounds to a draw. Next Wednesday night Mack House and Kid Mexico will go for the Main Event. This should draw a packed house. TENNIS CHATTER TENNIS CHATTER Where Will Second Annual Pacific Coast Championship Be Decided July 3 and 4. Big Question. By William Mells Watson. 1555 Court Street. Just where The Western Federation of Tennis Clubs will stage its second annual Pacific Coast rumpus is not yet known, but this important bit of intelligence will probably be extracted from the bill of fare at the Fed's next gathering Wednesday night, January 3rd. Oakland, Frisco, Pasadena or L. A.? It is generally conceded that the Racquette Tennis Club of Oakland will perform the duties of host upon this momentous occasion very capably headed by their recently elected president. Miss Victoria Grace Shorey, but as the Northerners have not yet made the request for the July plum and all clubs are accorded equal rights the battle ground is still a secret. Do we hear an answer? The Questionaire (NOTE—All communications must bear writer's name and address.) Q. How many of the clubs are still unfinancial with the Fed? G. S. C. A. We are proud to state that all six clubs have paid in full to June 30, 1923. Q. Why have we no clubs in San Diego or Pasadena? W. J. A. The Young Men's Alliance Club, later the Ajax Tennis Club of Pasadena at one time was one of the most promising clubs in the Fed, but died in 1920 for reasons unknown to the writer. In 1919 San Diego organized a splendid group of young athletes both ladies and gents but Dan Cupid is said to have gotten his arrows imbedded in so many of their hearts that he "busted up the party." Now that everyone, saint and sinner, has ceased throwing bricks and foquets at Mr. Sikl and the young man, who only a few days back was made a hero over night, now lies estrated before the throne of public union.

Georges Carpentier attempted to measure arms with young Siki and was promptly disarmed. Commits and more comments followed. Sermons were preached. K. K. K. took advantage of the opportunity to spread some propaganda and Jack Dempsey was confined to his bed for several days with an attack of Wills fever. Street-sweepers as well as bank presidents, and even the peace conference found time to investigate whether white supremacy was in danger of being crushed by the rising tide of color. Even the editors of some of the world's greatest daily papers ceased writing about world affairs to comment, and in no small way, upon the victory of this black Senegalese over a supposed to be, as is usually the case, impregnable pugilistic champion, in this instance, Georges Carpentier; and in a general way as to the effect it would have upon the races. Skii strange to say has been temporarily suspended from fighting. His desire to be constantly in action and according to reports his further desire to not only fight champions in the 12 foot pugilistic tennis arenas, particularly and choose a second now and then on the outside is largely responsible for his premature nemises as a pugilistic and his Arbucle condition. However be that as it may common sensed folks should not and will not allow themselves to be camouflaged into believing that Skii's victory, legitimate or illegitimate, has any connection whatever with world's affairs. Such contrasts and comparisons have no place in public discussions. The world seeks peace, so let us wor kfor it and have it. Skii is an individual and should be treated as such. Negroes are not any more responsible for his action than he is for theirs. Here in many parts of the U. S. A. and particularly in the State of New York and CCalifornia, mixed bouts are of weekly occurance and houses are crowded with an orderly, amiable and good natured crowd whose only purpose is to enjoy a few hours recreation. So lets stop throwing monkey wrenches in the machinery and get busy on a campaign that will educate the mind truthfully over the head of propagandist payed to spread the propaganda and make people believe that one race is better than nother. Race Pride, However, Prevented and Senegalese Mussed Up French Idiol. Victory Made Enemies. These Determined to Get Him and, Backed By Diplomats Finally Succeeded. PARIS, Dec. 20. (Crusader Service. The Siki incident refuses to die. Sensational disclosure has followed sensational disclosure. On one day the public learn how the British and French Governments stooped to make a part in the work of destroying this rugged African who had shattered white prestige in a dozen prize rings and finally sent down for the count the idol of all France and the lightweight champion of the world, Georges Carpentier, who was also heavyweight champion of Europe. To-day Battling Siki declared in the presence of Deputy Diagne and two witnesses that his fight with Carpentier for the light heavyweight world championship had been "framed," but that during the fight he had determined to be the winner. Siki said that, once he was in the ring in front of a crowd of 50,000 and conscious of his own strength, he had a revulsion of feeling, despite reminders from his corner; during his minute's rest after the third round, and had decided to go in and win. Deputy Diagne, listening to this story from the deposed champion, recently bereft of his title by the French Boxing Federation, as it was told to newspaper men, said it was exactly what Siki had relied to him as the story Siki said he would tell in court and of which Diagne said he had proof. This was the only reason, the Deputy stated, for his agreeing to fight the case of the Senegalese. That the Siki-Carpentier battle was won by Siki and not "lost" to Carpentier was due to the pride of the Negro fighter: "I could not lie down before 50,000 people acclaiming me," he said. "Never before had I ben on my knees to any man." Several times when hard hit in the third in his efforts to live up to the villainous agreement and waiting for the delivery of a blow that would be hard enough to warrant his dropping for the count, Siki was spurred on by his race pride, as the crowd howled "He's beaten; the Negro is finished" and jeered what they thought to be a defeated fighter who never had had a chance at all with the champion of Europe. Siki made up his mind to fight. He knew he could win, and soon he was going after Carpentier hammer and tongs, with such effect as to make it necessary to convert Carpentier's home into a private hospital for several weeks 'following the famous fight in which the African won the European title. Siki's statement that the bout was framed and he was to have "lost" to Carpentier is backed up by a statement in the Matin for Dec. 7, attributed to M. Henri Bernstein, who speeched the bout. Bernstein, according to the Matin, was puzzled by certain words he overheard during the fight. "I heard Siki say to Carpentier, "Don't hit so hard. What is the use to hit so hard when it is all settled." During the fourth round I heard Carpentier say "Will you lie down? Get down." Siki has never been knocked out in his life and has lost only two of seven fights. The two were lost on points.

Stokes is gradually becom- ing a factor in the auto world. Warren Brothers who operate the Lauba Nitia Service Station which is one of the largest on Central Ave., report business on the increase. The Independent Rubber Company which is the largest concern of its kind owned and operated by members of the race recently placed an order for several hundred dollars in new equipment. Smith and Williams have added a new limousine to their funeral equipment. Messrs L. E. Craig has become sole owner of the garage which formerly done business under the name of L. F. C. garage. He wishes to announce he has added many improvements to his well equipped lay out. Looks like the Dutch Shell is trying to assassinate John D. in Calif. Harry Patterson who has charge of the receiving department of Wemstich and Nicholas, one of the largest wholesale dealers in automotive accessories on the coast, but recently returned from enjoying a belated two weeks vacation. The Pearl Garage was recently initiated into the order of "Those That Have Been Robbed Garages." The hold ups who had charge of the initiation found it unnecessary to treat any one rough. By patronizing those whose ads appear in this paper you will be spending your money with not only business concerns where prices are right but concerns that appreciate and solicit your patronage. Think and act accordingly. Joe Lane who is the oldest auto mechanic of the race doing business in Los Angeles is to be found doing a rushing business at the Lane's Repair Shop. Service plus efficiency is his foundation. Speaking of directing traffic at busy street intersections officers Sheffield and Scott have few equals and no superiors. Johnson of "Page" fame is still displaying his wares at Pearl's Garage. W. H. Wheat who came to our fair city several months ago and opened the Wheat garage and repair shops has worked up a nice trade. O. Lewis, expert tire surgeon and repairman is performing daily again under the Independent Rubber Co. tent after an absence of several months. WHAT IS AN AU TOMOBILE? For the benefit of any one who may chance to run across this edition and not be acquainted with the word automobile the Eagle offers the following definition. An automobile is a thing created by the ingenuity of man. An instrument of pain, torture and death or pleasure, joy and health. Runs on four wheels ordinarily, sometimes six. Controlled by man when sane and Providence when insane. Built to abolish horse slavery and make mules free. A mechanical animal that exonorates its master and receives and expects all blame in case of accident. A riding conveyance totally deaf, dumb and blind, controlled by mental telepathy of man. Subsists on gasoline and oil instead of hay and oats, but depends on water the same as a horse to moisten its throat. Gives a policeman a job and a pedestrian a scare.

Schryver, sales manager of Clippinger-Kincard, who are the largest Chevrolet dealers in the city, declared himself in an interview with an Eagle reporter as being highly pleased with the 1923 outlook for the auto business in general and the sales of Chevrolets in particular. "We are determined to make the incoming year the greatest in our history. Our prices represent the most for one's money, twenty-four hour service the year round is unequalled, and our sales record for the past year speaks for itself.

MICHELAN NEVER BETTER "Old man Michelan," respectfully speaking, is one of the most constituent Tire Manufacturing and wholesale distributers today enjoying the confidence of the buying public. We quote the above term "old" be cause tire, tube, and disk wheel history in fact the history of the automobile, matters not what type, or make, can never be written without mentioning or consulting him. He ranks amongst the very oldest in the business. The fact that he enjoys perfect health today, at an age when most folks die, but substantiates the facts that his tire business is constructed on a rock foundation. Too busy when approached for an interview he simply remarked, "Tell the world that I'm too busy catching up with back orders on file to give them a message. Michelan wares speak for themselves. I wish all a merry Christmas and a H...l of a New Year. We wish our many customers a "Merry Christmas nad a Happy New Year." HAS THE USED CAR VALUE? Value received for service rendered is an axiom often heard in the trade exchange. The dealers used car department has become an asset as related to his main business that of selling new cars, says Mr. A. L. Johnston of the Paige sales forces. Yesterday when the automobile was passing through its experimental stage one acquainted with conditions as they then existed can recall to their mind many instances where the skeleton instead of the automobile was passed in exchange for a healthy cash consideration, to the unfortunate purchaser. The used car situation became so acute through deals of nature that as it critically ceased an overstocked market was the direct result. Delers who realized that something must be done to stabilize conditions finally after much discussion and many suggestions decided to conduct a used car department. Event that a customer desires a new car and wishes to sell his old one it is immediately tried out by one of the force ARE PRICES TO SOAR? By William Frambo. This much mooted question is constantly asked and information continually sought by the buying public in every avenue, especially the auto game. Will Tires be higher to-morrow and will automobiles cost us more Mr. Dealer, if so how much and when and where is it to commence. This price soaring, gossip is ever before all. In reference to this I wish to state prices have never been so low as they are today. Moreover past periods of low prices involved tires much inferior in quality to those of the present. Prices must of necessity advance to meet the increased price of crude rubber which product is controlled by foreign market. However the price of tires will never again rech the high water mark of four or five years ago. Newly formed organizations at one time numbered more than eight-hundred. These companies never will make tires and are dead for ever if the companies now operating will continue their present standard of higher quality product at lowest possible prices. FULL SERVICE What It Means and How To Get it....Eight Things That Makke a Garage Efficient. There probably never will be built an automobile that won't wear out. As long as automobiles wear their owners will want them fixed. The man who fixes thm and keeps them running right renders a service to the car owner. There are thousands of automobiles on the road today that ought to be fixed. The man who finds out what alls them and suggests that they be fixed renders a service to their owners and auto. This would make thousands upon thousands of better automobiles than we have today. If these cars were made better and kept better, they would give more satisfactory service to their owners, their trade-in value would be very much more and the good will of the owner toward the dealer who sold him would be greater. THERE WOULD BE GREATER SATISFACTION IN CAR BUYING ON THE PART OF THE PUBLIC who pays for better service and the entire automotive industry with the public would enjoy a more profitable and satisfactory business than ever before in history of the most wonderful industry in the world.

RACINE CO Vol. 36. Christopher Columbus Didn't Do It Well Down on 18th and Essert, on the Northeast corner to be exact, there is located a house. Nothing strange about that to be sure, fro the city of Los Angeles sometimes appears to contain more houses than people, even though it has absorbed some several hundred thousands of the latter in recent years. However that is neither here or there. The house and particularly its contents is what attracted the writer and furnishes the substance of this little story, entitled Doing His Stuff. (One Act.) Act. 1. Scene 1.— Door is opened following a ring, by an intelligent looking yet modest appearing lady whose gray hair intermingling here and there amongst the black makes her appear such an outstanding character that one almost forgets their mission and is content to just remain in vocal contact with her. However she asks your business and you speak of wishing to see one, Mr. Brooks. Oh! My brother is whom you inquire for. Just a minute please, step into (Scene II) the parlor and in a few moments the villian-himself appears, and the following conversation takes place. CALLER: Mr. Brooks I presume. (Voice modest and even.) BROOKS: Yes, I'm Hank Brooks. (In Rocky Mountain Tones.) C. Ahm. Er. Mr. Brooks I was reading the California Eagle the other day and my attention was attracted by a cartoon which appeared in its columns. Did you pen that picture? B. Yes. I did. Why what of it? (More stormy weather) Don't you like it? Did you come up here to give me or rather try to give me a thrashing about it? C. Oh no Mr. Brooks not I. I assure you when I decide to tackle a bear I'll go to the mountains where they apperla less ferocious than you. Speaking of the cartoon Mr. Brooks I tell you I thought it one of the classiest pictures of its nature I ever layed my naked eyes on and believe me, Mr. Brooks they have been ing as observers for me for some. B. Thanks for your compliments remarks and since you, a stranger me, seem to desire peace, I can be offer you at least a chair that you might rest your weary bones after hard pilgrimage to my shrine. C. I thank you kindly sir, and I assure you I shall do nothing to betray the confidence you impose in me as to being at least friendly inclined toward, you, during my short stay. My mission sir is a gentle one. I come in hope that you will grant me the pleasure of seeing more of your work. Art is one of my chief weakness. I love it. B. Such being the case come with C. And I followed him (Scene III.) walls of which were literally covered into first one room then another, the with drawings of all descriptions. Posters, etchings, government maps drawn by the young man when he served in the intelligence department of the U. S. A. during the war. Political and campaign cartoons that actually made one burst their sides a laughing, and some too along other lines that made one want to cry when you think of all the prejudice that exists beneath the sky. Then when it looked as if you had seen all, you are ushered into another (Scene IV.) room, most sacred to him, the room where he does his stuff, and more surprises follow. Finally to kind of make up for having handled you so roughly at the outset he offers cigars as if in atonement upon entering his den and as the smoke from those highgrade Havanas saturate the surrounding atmosphere the phonograph recalls to your subconscious mind such entertaining celebrities, past and present, as Bert Williams, Roland Hays, Harry T. Burley, S. Coleridge Taylor, Marion Cook and a host of others. Following this feature of the visit I suddenly recalled to my mind that my real mission was to secure at all hazards the services of this wizard of art, his genius that makes pictures talk and walk as if human, to help put over the Automotive Section of the California Eagle. How well we succeeded in having him do his stuff, one has but to look it over. And now the hour of departure arrived and as we parted he happened to recall he had not asked my name. He inquired in a mild, well-tempered voice—Your name please and may I have a card? The tone of voice assured me beyond all doubts that I had simply met a humble lamb like myself only he was disguised in the skin of a lion. A big hearted, affable young fellow, whose only desire was to acquire friends. And as we shook hands and parted he said I hope you'll do me the honor to call again and when you do just ask for Hank. I assured him I would and hoped the impression I was leaving was favorable enough to warrant him calling me Ed in the future even if I did bear the title of Editor of the Automotive Section of the California Eagle, and he assured me he would gladly grant my desire. Here we parted. I to the office to relate my experiences and tell the Managing Editor of my new discoveries and Hank back to his Studio to take up doing his stuff where he left off when he was so rudely disturbed by the newspaper scout sent out by the Aagle to land him dead or alive if he had the goods. FOR CHICAGO KLAN INQUIRY CHICAGO, Dec. 20 — (Crusader Service) Plans for a special aldermanic investigation of the infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan among municipal employees were made by Alderman Robert J. Mulcahy today at the same time that Chief Justice Michael L. McKay ley of the Criminal Court barred members of the Klan from serving on December Grand Jury. One of the first acts of the s illery as is generally needed to handle business in volume was installed piece by piece until today its repair department has few equals and no superiors.

JOHNSTON, Writes On the Coming Automobile Of California Every year near the holidays, one thinks of buying, buying, buying. But few of us think of buying the things that are most useful. Thus you find everything going up that is the least use to us in future, but few have come to realize how necessary the Automobile is in ordinary life and how inexpensive if purchased with care, or how expensive if purchased through unscrupulous channels. It is not a luxury nay more but is more necessary than a piano. Also there are particular cars for particular parts of the country, due to road or climatic conditions.Closed cars are the coming cars for California as all nights are cool, the used car is also the most serviceable and most economical car, due to road conditions, facilities for service, ever increasing population, which enables one to always be able to dispose of one automobile. There has been a tremendous loss in the organization of the automobile world, due to the overbuying of an abnormal public. Only those who think economically will be able to share in this benefit of the Used Car market. WRECKS Then there are those unscrupulous salesmen who will sell you an automobile unguaranteed and sell your paper or ring up your cash and bid you good bye at the door. This buying in New or Used cars is a sad mistake on the part of the purchaser after which you live in the shop or hospital. Investigation is needed after 500 arrests for speeding discloses the fact that 80 per cent of the accidents were due to unreliable automobiles. To this person we suggest before buying to see some reliable dealer or friend who knows the dealer, for it is very simpleasant to have a wheel drop off at 7th and Broadway or on the S. P. track. We are glad to say that out of $100,000 of automobiles that we have been able to guarantee every one 17 per cent only of which were new cars. LUXURY VIA SAVINGS—But remember this too, that since you must have an automobile and do not wish to spend a fortune, you may buy good Used Cars, in their first or second year, when its value to the first purchaser is the greatest and its usefulness is at its height that the difference between your purchasing price and its real worth will operate some for two years or more. The instance—a car that cost $3000 but year may be purchased now for $1900, should sell for $3400 giving you a margin of 6 or 7 hundred dollars to have all repairing, get, three nd service f or l year, still having your entire $1900. This week we have traded a car for $3000 which cost $200 second-hand two years ago, whose new price today is $1935 giving those who wish to profit from these suggestions a chance to save money. Our service is 51% of any purchase. We glad to give any information or advice or appraisal on any useful kind or year of automobile to anyone at any time free of charge, if we haven’t anything i n stock that may be a particular prospect.

(Crusader Service) A silver stool has been presented to Princess Mary, Viscontess Lascelles, as the wedding gift of the Queen Mothers of Ashanti and the Gold Coast. The stool is an exact replica of the Queen Mother's own stool over which an Ashanti war was fought when the British plunderers attempted to sneak it out of Ashanti to London-to join the vast collection of plunder from every corner of the world housed under the roof of the British Museum. Accompanying the gift was a letter from Queen Aketa, describing how the stool was made and consecrated. FREE SPEECH WINS VICTORY IN NEW YORK New York, Dec. 16, (Crusader Service) The cause of free speech in this State has won another victory—even if it proves only a temporary one. Through a writ of error granted by the United States Supreme Court to Benjamin Gitlow, Communist, convicted nearly three years ago of criminal anarchy and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary, the entire criminal anarchy statute may be stricken out as unconstitutional. This statute has an important bearing on the Negro Liberation Struggle in this country as under it, Negro militants who uncompromisingly wage war against the oppression of their race, could be prosecuted. The New York Statute is the one which the criminal syndicalist laws of thirty states are based on, and if it is contained in contravention, it is expected a movement to strike out the laws in other states designed to curb radicalism will be begun immediately. SAYS WORLD WAR WAS BORN IN AFRICAN ADVENTURES NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Crusader Service) Writing in the New York Call, Jean Longuet, French Socialist leader and grandson of Karl Marx, now touring this country, makes an attack on Clemenceau and branded the French adventure in Morocco as the direct cause of the late war. "He (Clemenceau) forgets all the colonial policy or adventure, more especially in Mexico, and having been thrown to the ground all for this reason. "He (Clemenceau) forgets all the colonial policy of adventure that was followed by those various Governments, including his own; more especially toward Morocco, and which was over and over again most eloquently denounced from the floor of the French Parliament by our great Jaureus. "How frequently did Jaures demonstrate that by invading that African country, in violation of the very treaties that our Government had signed, we were exciting everywhere in the world the appetites of the various and similar nationalisms and imperialisms of Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, and even of those which Jaures called the "smaller carnivorous states" of the Balkins. "Everybody knows how, from the French Moroccan expedition to the Tripolitan attack on Italy, to the attack by Bulgaria, Servia and Greece on Turkey, there was a powerful link of facts and events, and everybody knows how the Balkan War was the prelude of the World War. MOSCOW DEMANDS AFRICA FOR NEGRO Soviet Russia Reaffirms Her Persistent Stand Aaginst Imperialist Exploitation. Opposes Land Gobbling General Self-Determination Her Peace Solution for War Wracked World. LAUSANNE, Dec. 8th. (Crusader Service) Speaking to Press Correspondents here on the action of the Allies in barring his country from all conference discussions except those that concern the Straits, M. Rakovsky, Soviet delegate to the Lausanne Peace Conference, declared that, unlike the imperialist nations, his country sought no spoils at the conference. "Russia," he said, "came to Lausanne only for free and equal discussion, taking the position that any one affected has the right of full participation. There are no more superior and inferior nations. "We have only one solution for Turkish and Straits questions. Others have several and are ready to negotiate. If it is to be a patched up peace, any solution is good enough, but if it is to be a durable peace, ours is the only one which will sat- PHONE 205-30 lately all peoples, east and west. "We want to see Turkey re-established on the nationalistic, non-aggression basis the Angora Assembly announced. We want to see the Southern frontiers fixed on this basis so the Turk can live in neighborly equality with the Arabs and other neighbors. The question of Mosul, which is playing such an important part in blocking progress, should be treated as a question of population, not of oil. "The British claim it because it is oil. As Turkey's friends we want to see the question treated according to population. "Our one and only solution is to see Turkey reconstituted strong enough to defend the straits, under an agreement to let commerce pass freely, but no battle ships. "That is the only way to tranquilize the Near East. No Western Power could then dominate the Eastern Mediterranean nor could Russia threaten it. "The British ought with the others to accept our solution. If they had succeeded in giving Constaninople to the old Russia as planned, Russia would have dominated the Eastern Mediterranean and been a constant danger. But with Soviet Russia confined to the Black Sea, defending itself as we propose and no one with the right to attack us through the straits, the troublesome question is settled. For details any one of a half dozen agreements made in the last hundred years would do. "We are told our interest is simply in the straits. Even if that is so, we are interested in the islands in the Aegean, which can control the straits. We are interested in the disposition of the frontier around Adrianople, which is Constantinople's fortification. We say, as Ambassador Child said, that there is no way to separate one Turkish question from another. As we have one fixed principle for a settlement we can afford to wait." Asked if leaving Turkey in complete control of the straits might not easily block Russia, as happened at the beginning of the last war, Rakovsky replied: "It is impossible to provide against everything. Ours is a choice between a small nation controlling a waterway within its own territory or leaving it to the strongest foreign power. We prefer Turkey. We want Turkey for the Turks, Arabia for the Arabs, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, as Russia is for the Russians. Accidental geographical facts likek the Dardanelles and Mosul oil must conform." WIFE COLONEL THE SAYS IN SHIFT NEY YORK, Dec. 8.—(Crusader Service) Alleging that his wife had forgotten to supply him with her family genealogical tree, and had therefore kept from him her knowledge that she possessed Negro blood, one John Stovall, a white insurance broker of 2261 Andrews Ave., Bronx, has broken into the newspaper columns by seeking yesterday before Supreme Court Justice Faber of Brooklyn to have his marriage annulled. The Stovalls have been married and living together for a year. They were evidently fairly successful in their negotiation of the rocky road of matrimony until old ubiquitous Mother-in-Law sprang the coup in the traditional fight between son's wife and son's mother and handed Cupid the count by her revelation that Mrs. Stovall was of Negro blood. Mrs. Stovall, who is only 20 years old, takes the position, through her attorney, that as nobody had ever questioned her as to tion to boast of her possession of the her race ties she had felt no obligablood of the Pharaohs. Justice Faber directed that the case be tried next month. In the meantime speculation *isrife* as to whether the courts could stand the burden if every wife and every hubby with the least drop of Negro blood in their veins were sued for separation. It is said that thousands of light-colored people are at present "passing" and that somewhere between one and two million apparently white people have colored blood in their veins, themselves apparently unaware of the fact. TURKS REVOLT IN WESTERN THRACE Take Things in Own Hands As Allies Oppose Self-Determination CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 8. (Crusader Service) With the Allied representatives at the Lausanne Peace Conference opposing the Turkish pro- SMITH & WILLIAMS CO. (INC.) Non-Commission Funeral Directors and Embalmers posal that a plobesite be taken of the population of Western Thrace to determine the question of political affiliation with Turkey or with Greece, the population of Western Thrace determined to take matters into their own hands and in a spontaneous uprising against the Allies and their Greek tools have overwhelmingly decided in favor of connection with Nationalist Turkey. The insurgents population are now masters of the situation, having driven out the Greek troops and British auxiliaries, from all strategic positions. An armed band of 15,000, having machine guns supplied involuntarily by the discomfited British auxiliaries, is marching on Dedeaghatch demanding the holding of a plebisite. Risings are reported against the Greeks at Tohlma and Sarakhner, as well. The population at Gumuldjina dispersed the Greek garrison, captured all arms, formed a provincial Government and organized a defense. In the mean time the Turkish Nationalist Government notified the Allied powers that Turkey will no longer tolerate the capitalism system whereby Turkey in the past surrendered her natural rights exceris jurisdiction over all persons on Turkish soil. DIANGE WILL CHAMPION SIKI African Deputy to Fight France-British Frameup Against Senegalese Fighter. PARIS, Dec. 8.—(Crusader Service). The case of Battling Siki will be brought into the discussion of the French budget in the Chamber of Deputies during the next few days. Ever since he was robbed by a frame up of the title of light-heavy-weight champion of the world by the French Boxing Federation there has been anagitation in his behalf going on in a fair-minded section of the press Now Deputy Diagne, from Senegal, a fellow-countryman of Siki, intends to drag the affair before the Chamber. When the Budget appropriation for physical education comes up he will move that it be reduced by 300,000 in order to prevent subventions being given to sporting societies which claim the right of arbitrary decision and have exercised that claim to help rid the French and British Foreign Offices of an embarrassment in the nature of a Negro boxer who had beaten the best man that Europe had to offer in the pugilistic field. NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—(Crusader Service) It will be remembered that at the time of the disqualification of Siki by the French Boxing Federation two days after the British Foreign Office had intervened to call the proposed fight between Siki and the British, Beckett, the newspapers using the Crusader Service were the only ones to give to their readers the facts as to the true nature of, and motive for, Siki's disqualification. Other papers swallowed wholesale the false version given by the white Associated Press in its service to the white Metropolitan Press. So, too, with the Turkish situation, it was only those papers handling the Crusader Service that presented the truth of the situation, as borne out by subsequent events, to their readers. The Crusader Service is the only Negro press service that at present has two representatives on the ground in Europe; Claude McKay in Russia and C. Valentine in Constantinople. QUOTA EXCEEDED, AFRICAN PRINCE IS HELD BOSTON, Dec. 8.— (Crusader Service) Because the African immigration quota for November had been exceeded, Stanley Kisigiri, age 15, was held by immigration authorities on his arrival from Calcutta on the "City of Benares." Kisigiri claims to be a prince, and says that he would be King of Uganda had not the British deposed his late father. He was on his way to Tuskegee Institute. Immigration officials said he was held because he was without a legal guardian and also because the African quota of immigrants for the month had been exceeded. Charley Drenscombe, the hustling and wide awake News Agent has opened on East. 12th Street, just East of Central a first class stationery store, where all sorts of writing materials can be found, post cards, etc. This is a step which marks progress and the Eagle wishes fq] him a splendid effort in his new field.

A colored citizen of New York, James Pilcher, who was excluded from the Madison Square Garden Swimming Pool, took the case to law, upon the advice of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with the result that the Swimming Pool settled the case out of court and paid $50. The case was undertaken under the Civil Rights Law of New York State. Mr. Pilcher consulted his attorney in August of this year. On November 22, a check for $50. was in his attorney's hands. The exclusion at the Madison Square Garden Pool was upon the pretext that Mr. Pilcher was not a member of "the club," and could therefore not use the swimming pool. However, Mr. Pilcher was accompanied by a white friend who gained access to the pool upon payment of the admission fee, without being a member of "the club." NEW CONSTITUTION TO BE RATI FIED THEN ELECTION OF NEW BOSSES WED. JAN. 7TH By: WM. MELLS WATSON 1555 Court St., Wilshire 3742 Exactly five of the city's most beautiful and lovable "rolling pin swingers" braved a drenching rain storm last Wednesday night in order to be in on the Fed's "big doings" which really didn't take place as only one "hen-pecked hubby" and three "alimony dodgers" took a chance on wet feet, so the big show opens Wednesday night, January 3, 1923. However, considerable kick was injected inthe night's work as follows: hereafter the first Wednesday night of each month the Federation will meet at Parish Hall; every one of the 14 representatives of clubs are expected to take a shot at the new constitution before it becomes law, and the election of a brand new set of engineers is next on the bill of fare the stationary committee's report with a pretty and descriptive design on the letter heads and envelopes was accepted with but a single whisper—"why not black faced," a location committee consisting of Mrs. Josephine Brown, Mrs. Henry Young, Mrs. Bessie Davis, Miss Juillette Harris and William M.

Brooks, president; Charlie Andrew Black, secretary; James Thomas Pollock, Treasurer and William Mells Watson as Manager of publicity opened up a drive for a burst of brand new prosperity for the Alpha club and a request of the Federation to hold a tournament early next year may be one of their first ventures.

Q. Why in your writings do you so persistently infer that Mr. Dunn should not be removed? A. J. K. Pasadena. A. Because Mr. Dunn who obtained his knowledge of the game up around Boston and New York where it is played on a larger scale is more thoroughly equipped with knowledge of the proper conduct of the game than any one on the coast and is therefore best fitted for the job of president of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs: Q. What of the Seattle club, is it dead, I never hear of it any more? C. S. A. By no means is the Alpha Tennis and Outing Club of Seattle a dead one. In fact this one club has just completed a club house and three courts of its own, which is much better than the six Southern clubs have done to date. The reason for no mention of their progress is that they have with drawn their membership from the Western Federation. SPORTITORIAL In the opinion of many basket ball is much less interesting and thrilling than the gridiron pastime, but basket ball is a splendid game. The rapidity and intensity of play and the utmost physical condition demanded of the contestants makes it a game of great benefit to players. The benefits derived from playing basketball will greatly aid a player in the building up of his physical, moral, and mental powers. The moral requirements for playing basket ball are essential in one's later life. The idea of fair play, clean, hard fighting, makes the game of basketball sport worthy of support by all. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened GLOBE MILLS FLORIDA JACK PITTEN GLOBE A1 Quality Flour GLOBE MILLS Invariably Good! Christmas arrives in the month of December inevitable. It comes on the twenty-fifth of this month punctually. The people this year should be more thankful than previous years. Every one of us should give thanks to our heavenly father for care of us during the year. Christmas is the Anniversary of the birthday of a baby? This baby grew to be a man who thru nineteen hundred years has been known as the "Prince of Peace." He knew no prejudices, and his heart was gentle and his spirit sweet. His ideals were high and his sympathies were broad. Race hatred was odious to Him. He was free from class consciousness and he claimed all men as his brother. The question springs spontaneously to every tongue now what shall I give in offering to our Saviour as a thankful token? I will attempt to suggest something that will be of benefit to those concerned. It would be a very Christian act for the various churches to unite and arrange a program consisting of their choirs giving musical selections, also many of our talented speakers could also render selections concerning this Day. The birth of our Savior, a place whereby all our Christian people could meet and spend a day in worship. The people of California or more than blessed by plentifulness and wonderful climatic conditions and should do something more than giving Christmas gifts and eating large dinners. Man of our race, papers in the various cities throughout the country attempt to keep under cover all news concerning some wrong done by the negro. The newspaper that follows this policy is really a detriment to the race. All news should be given to the reading public whether it is good or bad. The "Soaring Eagle" at all times never pails to give the people all news that they so nobly deserve. The Ku Klux Klan, an un-American un'Christian organization has been ordered out of Kansas by Governor Henry J. Allen. This action by Governor Allen proves that he is a true and upright citizen-trying to rid the country of this viciousness. Governor Allen traveled throughout the State of Kansas denouncing the members of the "Ku Klux Klan as un-American cowards and not true to the Christianity which they were supposed to uphold and protect." In many places he was warned and even threatened to talk against the Klans, but their threats did not stop him in releasing Kansas of this menace. What the country is in need of at the present time is more men of Governor Allen's type. Fearless, law-abiding citizens who have no fear in expressing their ideas no matter what the consequentes might be. NOTE: This is the first of the series of articles Mr. Wilayn Stovall will write on the various Eastern Activities: De Witt Clinton, High School of New York is rapidly turning out colored track stars who are grabbing off honors in boht track and field events. Cecil Cooks, a popular athlete, was born in Jamaica and reared in Panama. He later moved to New York where he is continuing his education. For the past two years he has been showing New York cinder path artists a pretty pair of heels in the 440 yd. dash. During this time he has not lost a race. In the Penn Relay Carnival he helped De Witt Clinton carry off the honors by giving his team a lead over the other competitors. Notwithstanding the fact that a great part of his training is indoor, he has hung up the enviable record of 51 flat in the 440 yd. dash. Besides being a star track performer Cooke is a member of the Arista, an honor society in New York High Schools. He has another year of eligibility for interscholastic athletics. After finishing his course in prep school, he will major in science and medicine at Syracuse University. Several colleges in and around New York are making offers to this wonderful performer, and he will surely make the best of them step in inter-collegiate competition.

Vanderbilt, Jr. writ ing in the New York American for No ‘ember’ 39} 1922, declares that a racial ‘@ebacle faces the . white race and charges Japan with dimming at an Or ‘dental Alliance to wrest Asia from the ‘“Qehite grip?” He says in part “an of Oriental people with tle avowed purpose of wresting all _ Asia trom: the “white'grip™ is the goal for which Japan is heading. “The Foreign Office in:Tokto calls this movement for a united yellow face the “Pan-Aistia League.” Na tionalists in India call it tite “All-Asis ‘Movement.”- (“Tt is a movement pregnant with | Possibilities far beyond the race ob- ‘Ject or ridding Asia of the white man’s economic dominancy. Rather is it the seed of a mighty movement that may yet sweep the”caucasians from their Own spheres. “To this gud the Imperial Japanese Government proposes to take the main step“in'its hastening succession of clever deeds in diplomacy. Japan is almost ready to invite the great Powers of the world to attend a World Congress on Immigration and Racial Discrimination. i ~ BUT Japan knows ‘all to well, far in advance of the convening of such "Congress, that the Oriental peoples ‘will not jeave such a conference vic tors—knows that the white race will never voluntarily lower the bars of immigration nor concede racial equal- ity to the darieraces. “Japan komwe that such a confer- eence must ‘end unfavorably to the Asiatic, to the African, to the Austra. loid. “But once Japan has been success- ful in drawing a definite declaration from the white nations that the Or- jental is persona non grata to all white peoples, then the first great unifying force among the Oriental peo ples will have been fashioned. “Returning home, seemilgly de- feated, but in reality with the fruits of richest victory, Japan, under the protestation that the Asiatic has been grievously insulted, will turn her eyes upon her Asiatic brethren and, as leader, decry the action of the white nations. “In a clarion voice of commanding and exalting tone her stentoriar cry will sweep all Asia and Africa: “The white man has refused to grant us equality. We must ally ourselves for protectidh agamst him lest the white man subjugate the yellow man -in Asia as they have already subjugated the black race! “By inverse application of ‘results such a conference becomes the key for unification of the dark peoples into a mighty... organization—numbering three-fifths of the earth's population. Its menace to the white race needs ‘no elaboration.” WORKS OF HAITIAN COMPOSER FOR B’WAY NEW YORK, Nov. (Crusader Se! vice) Justin Elie, celebrated Haitia composer, distinguished product of thi Paris Conservatori@~ and the blac race, has arrived in New York to offe the ‘most unusual ballet of moder times. M. Elie’s new ballet is a work de voted to the weird, thrilling strain: of the ceremonials and rites of wha is generally known to hte world a Voodism and greatly misunderstoo ‘by the white Christian world whict ever pretends to look down upon al cults not its own and can never se good in anything different from it own preachings, carrying this peculi arity even to the event of denomin ational quarrels and debates as t whether Catholics can enter the Pro testant heaven and vice versa. Voodism is said to be as lofty ir conception and pure in practice a: any of the ancient Greek cults, t which, in fact, it bears a close re semblance. Its initiations are closely guarded and it was only by a rare piece of good luck that M. Elle was able to witness one of them. He de scribes his experiences as follows: “My young friend and guide took «me with him back into the mountains at a considerable height. We were not a great distance from Port au Prince when we arrived at our des timation. “As we approached, and we were both dressed im simulation of the clothing of thé mopntaincers, the ceremonial was in progress. | We could hear the drums, the cymbals, the species of castanets, the voices and the soft reed music. It shrilled my soul to hear it and I shivered with an ecstacy of pleasure, combined with fear. “We stole reverently to the outer line of worshippers circling the fires and dancers and musicians and stood as though part of: them, speechless and with bowed heads. “Aas I gazed I felt myself back in Ancient Greece, whénce thousands of years .ago these same strange airs how been played and those erotic dancers performed the same tempo. “I listened with all my soul, drank in the ine! impressions; a ee ical gyrations, and seisedapon the pageant.

"The colored: population of this vice.) ‘The population of this city, composed of Asiatics, and Ne- groes from Africa, Ameriea and the West Indies were overjoyed at the suc- cess of the Labor Party in the recent parliamentary elections. They are par- ticularly elated over the election of Saklatvala, a Parsee trom India, who has resided in England since 1903. Saklatvala is a Communist but ac- cepted the nomination of Labor Party to contest the seat for Batterson. His eleétion gives him an opportunity to use Parliament to give publicity to the ae tet of India and colored people of the British, Empire generally. Among many of the newly elected members of Parliament on the Labor ticket are many friends of the Megro race and it wil! now be possible for those sections of the Empire largely populated by colored people to exert pressure upon the ‘Colonial office to improve their _politital condition. More than ever it is realized that an active, intelligent :angl’ radical organ- ization is needed ~ ie, gepsiene. the heart of, the British “Bmpire; to sivg voice.to the needa, arid inspirations Africa ard the West Indies. Such an organization caniserye:a great end by keeping tab upoh the “Labor Party while criticising the policies of the Colonial office and the Bonar Law government. It will be remembered that among the new M. P.’s:is Sidney Webb, au- thor of “The Ams of Labour” pub- lished in 1919. This book outlined, it will be recalled, a comparatively iib- eral, though undemocratic, policy to- ward Africa. Greatest hope for the keeping of the Laborites to their word is expect- ed from the criticisms of Newboldt and Saklatvala, Communists, and the Bolsheviks of the Third International. ‘The latter organization has openly charged again and again that at heart the leaders of the Labor Party, es- pecially MacDonald and Hengerson, ‘are jingoists and imperialists. How: ever things develop, Negroes every- ‘where can rejoice that the futute and Providence are working for them. The Tesult of the elections is unquestion- ‘ably fraught with much in which col- ored people cannot afford to be dis- ‘interested. UNREST IN CENTRAL AMERICA BELIZE, Br. Honduras, Dec. 16— (Crusader Service) The large Negro population of this undeveloped Brit- ish Crown Cblony in Central America are dissatisfied with their present po- liticai status and the operations of the system of Crown’ Colony government. Under present conditions the people who produce wealth, pay faxes and make the colony what it is Have pract- ically no voice in the managentent of their own affairs and are subject .to the whims and wishes of appointees from Downing Street. That this con- ‘dition shall not be suffered for ever is ‘the determination of the youmser gen- eration who refuse to be bamboozled by propaganda about Africa when they know that they form a majority of the population of this largé, fer. tile and immensely rich territory in the western world. TELLS OF U. S. RUTHLESSNESS IN VIRGIN ISLANDS. Member of Colonial Council Excort- ates American Naval Misrule in Wet Indies. NEW YORK, Dec. 16. (Crusader Ser. vice) Telling a story of poverty, broken promises on the part of the United States governrgnt and of the high handed actions of navel officers in his native island, Hon. Rothschild Francis, member of the Colonial Coun- cil, St. Thomas, V. I., editor of The Emancipator, addressed a mass meet- ing of his countrymen at St. Mark's Hall this afternoon. Mr. Francis assured his hearers that Virgin Islanders although under the Stars and Stripes and subject to A- merican citizenship are not citizens. Because of this fact operatidn of the Yolstead Act had destroyed the prin- ‘cipal industry of the islands—rum dis- tilling and today the people are faced ‘with utter ruin. A plea was made by the speaker and Mr. A. A. Berle, at- torney of the Islanders, for civil gov- ernment to supersede the naval au- tocracy now crushing out the lives of the inhabitants. * ' | The islanders propose, through their leaders, to memoralize congress to give them relief from naval and grant them all the privileges of Amer- ican citizenship.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16—(Crusader Service) President Obregon’s mes: sage, sent through the Department of the Interior, “eine, Chamber of Depu- ties last” night sereated an uproar among the deputies ‘and, in fact, throughout Mexico. 5 President’ Obregon stated in his message that Mexico resents outside Interference in tHe making of the be sic law interpreting article 27 of the Constitution. This was interpreted to mean that the United States govern: ment had been .trying. to bring pres sure to bear against the Mexican gov- ernment in the matter of the new laws governing the petroleum indust- ty, and seeking exemption from their operation for her capitalist oil-grab- bers. In an outburst of anti-United States oratory the motion was made and carried that all sister Latin-A- merican countries be informed of the alleged meddling of the Washington State Department in the framing of the Mexican laws, especially those affecting American interests. A joint protest of all these countries against American {mperialism is planned. Mexico intends to take mo chances with the capitalist-imperialist cut- throats of the North.

FORMER 24TH INF. MAN IS PAROLED FORMER 24TH INFANTRYMAN PAROLED FROM LEAVENWORTH PRISON NOW IN LOS ANGELES. Thefollowing clipping from a Kansas paper tells the story of the freedom of Warsaw Lindsey, who was one of the number from the famous 24TH Infantry who was sentenced to a long term at Leavenworth and is the first one to be released. "FREE A HOUSTON RIOTER" Warsaw Lindsey, Negro Soldier, To Be Released. Will Be First of Sixty-Five Confined in Federal Penitentiary for Part in Texas Disorders to Be Granted Parole. Leavenworth, Kas., Dec. 1. The first release, either by pardon or parole, of any of the sixty-five negro soldiers confined in the federal penitentiary for participation in the Hous ton race riot four year ago, will be made Sunday, when Warsaw Lindsey under 10-year sentence, will be admitted to parole. A telegram from the department of justice was recited tonight by Warden W. I. Biddle. The announcement of the parole is said to have caused great satisfaction among the other convicted rioters, as it is taken as an indication that they may expect clemency in the future. According to Lindsey's story, he was visiting his "hady friend" on the night of the riot, and had not taken his gun from his rack in the barracks, because he was arrested, but a call he was arrested with the other negro soldiers and forced to stand trial. Through a mistake in names, Lindsey's name was read in the list of soldiers sentenced to be shot at sunrise the morning after the trial. The mistake was discovered two hours after the verdict was read. Lindsey will be given a ticket to Los Angeles, 'cail, where he has a job awaiting him, obtained by a prison welfare society. He has been an outfit for some time, acting as a houseman in the warden's residence." Concerned For His Companions. Mr. Lindsey will endeavor to interest friends of the other imprisoned soldiers to send them greetings and cheer for Christmas and any token entrusted to him will be sent to them in person. Mr. Lindsey asked not to forget them and through Mr. Lindsey any Christmas offering will reach them. DEVELOPING TALENT FOR MUSIC BY: WENDELL P. GLADDEN, JR. ACCOMPLISHING MORE GOOD WITH YOUNG PEOPLE. DEVELOPING TALENT FOR MUSIC. IV. It is not necessary to go into details regarding the development of talent for music among our young. Children are naturally imaginative. They have a taste for the beautiful. Music makes a strong appeal to them. Young people should be taught to play some musical instrument to their liking. Perhaps vocal training will be advantageous. Music in the home will make it brighter and happier. When they have become proficient they should be encouraged in original composition. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, H. T. Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett, and many other composers, are examples of what can be done in this work. Roland Hayes, brown, and ```markdown ``` international fame. They have set remarkable places in the musical world for our young people to follow. But our local talent is preparing for any competition and will achieve the same. Urging Religious Activity. More than twenty-five churches, to together with the young Men's and Women's Christian Associations, as religious agencies need the support of the mature as well as the young. Without these in the community what would our society be? Those who are not members of the church would do well to join or become associated. Taking active parts and contributing whenever possible will aid in the spiritual welfare of the city, to help the poor, to give occasionally, and insist on their attendance at least once each Sunday. Encourage them to take an active part throughout the year as well as during the Christmas and Easter seasons. Every young man and woman who is not deprived because of physical fitness should be a member of the W. Y. or N. M. C. A. In some sections to the country where the buildings are temporary it is true that the sphere, of activity is limited to a great extent, and the demand for larger service, is not met entirely. Nevertheless, there are two institutions are for the people. It is up to them to cooperate with those at the head of these organizations; to see to it that they are furnished with modern equipment. The responsibility rests upon their shoulders also to make the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. the community centers, because they are inter-linked with the various institutions contributing to the public good. This is the task of the people of Los Angeles. If the representative citizens can build beautiful homes, erect business buildings and schools, and churches, they can lay the cornerstones, through united effort, for the enlargement of these two monuments of service and humanity. For those whose sons and daughters are being benefited by their meetings and contact with good associates and friends, nothing could be better than to pay them a visit and see how they conduct themselves; and the enthusiasm they put into their work and play. In order to develop the mind, body, and soul, one must get into the game - get the most out of the agencies of society. The four-fold development; mental, spiritual, physical, and social - offered in the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. can hardly be duplicated elsewhere. Modern problems demand modern equipment. The serious problem of the boy and girl, the young man and woman is before us. Let us solve it intelligently. GIVING ATTENTION TO ATHELET ICR—RECBEATION A thorough knowledge of the sporting world in general will keep the boy posted on latest athletic events. The national interest in football, baseball, track, boxing, tennis, and golf is increasing each year. It is not enough to be familiar with one game, but a knowledge of other sports and players and records. Much of this detail work is done by Walter Camp and assistants; A. G. Spaulding's year book in athletics, beside what can be learned from newspapers and other publications, will be beneficial. The achievements of athletes of the race is especially of interest to our young people. Many of them are well aware of recent activities and great athletes. They have seen what our boys have done in California in the past. The names of Drew, Dismond, Butler, Slater, Pollard, Gourdin, Hubbard, Wills, and Gans, together with other great or near great in the sporting world, should be referred to when athletes are mentioned. Only recently a Senegalese fighter won wide wide fame by grabbing titles by a single victory over Georges Carpentier. Several articles about him were written; and doubtless all lovers of sport read them with interest. Rube Foster is one of the outstanding figures in baseball. He has successfully managed teams for years. He was very instrumental in organizing the Negro National Baseball League. Some of the world's best players are found with these teams. Wherever the activities of our teams and results of games can be obtained attention should be directed there. Five or ten years more may find our great players in the big leagues. Every boy who shows promise in some form of athletics ought to be assisted in purchasing supplies. There may be a "world-beater" within our doors. It would be well that they note the conduct, the true sportsman ship of he-men in competition and afterwards. If the boy can learn to win over great odds and difficulties in contests he can later tackle life's problems with enthusiasm and tenacity until they are overcome. Our athletes are making great strides in tennis too. The real skillful players in the future must come from our boys and girls. Most of the great players began' in childhood and have been playing practice is necessary. More young people must learn to play this great tenional game which is played LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, DECEMBER 16. 1922 Rare opportunities are afforded everybody in California to enjoy natural beauty. People need to get back to nature even more than they do. When the winter season is over, they need to get into closer contact with Mother nature. Young people especially, need to forsake the hustling, bustling city life and live a while. Frequent hikes and camps will give new inspiration, together with numerous snap-shots taken: People ought to go out in the great open stretches; the mountains and valleys are calling ever. Tall, husky, aged trees are bending and swaying they put on their dress for each season, but the color always blends, when orchard, or apple blossoms in spring, and brown leaves in autumn, the effect is enormous. And the air is cool and clean, blue skies, snow-white clouds; and at evening sunset-tinted skies, and then twillight—shadows, thrill the lover of nature, whose thousand voices, amid placid lakes and busy streams, sing. One finds himself, knows himself, when alone on a mountain-top at night. He realizes his littleness, and the ruggedness of nature, the bigness of the universe, and the meaning of life. There, far from men one looks on, the friendly stars, is amazed, is thrilled with the beauty of devour the beauty and magnificence of it all, while God protects still "Nature is the source." A TALE OF OLD JAPAN Perhaps the most weird and tragic work of Coleridge-Taylor declares itself in his symphonic poem "A TALE OF OLD JAPAN." While Hiawatha is held by many critics to be one of the chief artistic productions of human genius, it would seem that these authorities have missed the achievements of ColeridgTaylor in the masterly treatment of this poetic gem written by Mr. Alfred Noyes, and set to music by Taylor. In point of it may not rank as high, as that masterpiece Hiawatha, but it must be reckoned second of Coleridge's musical masterpieces. Remembering that art is the means an author uses to bring to his readers the inspiration and vision of his own mind, we shall find it easy to identify the important feats and strokes in A TALE OF OLD JAPAN. Because of the nature of the people, their peculiar situation in the great scheme of races and nations, their etiological and physiological, their cultural differences, COLERIDGE-TAYLOR was obliged to resort to art at the very outset. The hero, SAWARA, is of a supposed and inferior and degraded race—a Japanese. None but abortive results would have attended his efforts to raise such a character in the estimation of an audience that neither appreciates nor understands the little yellow people who live away in yon Orient. It would have been presumption to assume the interest of an audience in such a personage, for the thing has been tried unsuccessfully in literature and oratory many times be fore. Longfellow experimented with Hiawatha as a hero, presenting him precisely as if he were of Anglo Saxon blood and name; though the poem is immortal, and though the character is in reality as great as any one hero known to and worshipped by a nation, the world finds it almost impossible to take the hero seriously. Aside from the richness of the poem, the singular formation of vowel sounds found in the names of the characters which adorn the poem, we wonder what else could have attracted the intelligence of that great master of Counterpoint. Well, Japan has tradition. The history of music in Japan is an old one. It dates as far back as her legendary age. She has her ZANAMI, which corresponds to our ARAMI and EVE, IZANAMI. These dictionaries are supposed to have come down from heaven. While boast of our Cain and Able, Japan claims her three children, descendants of her Adem and EVe, Goddess of the Sun, God of the Moon, and God of the Seas. They did not hang their harps upon the willow trees by the River of Babylon, but they did hang a mirror on the tree of wisdom (this no doubt corresponds to the biblical apple tree) and performed some sort of ceremony with music and dance. During the reign of the FIJIWARA family much interest was manifested in the pursuit of literature, science and art. During this time Japan developed on musical lines and gave encouragement to the flood that happened with impressive dignity and Opra, at its best in Japan, is a crystalization of fantastic and humorous elements which are ever full of the essence of Buddhism and Confucianism. Thus the attention of Coleridge-Taylor was attracted to the little yellow man who was not the leading exponent of contrapuntal and polyphonic musical productions, but who had made use of the material at hand and who sought to infuse the national spirits of his own country into motives and meters which were the nerve, bone and sinew of Japan's traditions. Mrs. Aphra. Bean wrote a novel in which she used a West Indian Negro for the hero. Needless to say the book never became famous nor popular; for she met the same The sensation had its little hour. Then somebody murdered somebody in a particularly atrocious manner, or somebody sued somebody for divorce, or somebody was elected to high office—and the American girl and her Japanese husband were forgotten. They are called to our attention again—after 14 years—they and their children. Half-breeds? Of course. Mongrels? The department of psychology of Stanford University announces that four of the five little Aokis—the fifth is a baby—have been tested by the brain, that they show level of intellect high above the standard for their ages—12, 11, 10 and 8 years—and THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE "GENIUS" CLASS. Test Mademoiselle Best Science Don't blame me. I didn't put the little Aokiskis there. It hurts me as much as it does you to have a pre-conceived notion destroyed. MME.

The test by THE PASSING OF MME. AZALIA HACKLEY The announcement of the death of Madam Azalia Hackley at Detroit, December 13th, removes from our midst one of our most active race women and one of the best known characters of the music-loving world. Madam Hackley in her youthful days was employed as a teacher in the public schools of her home town, Detroit, but possessing a fine voice entered the musical conservatory at Denver shortly after her marriage to Edwin H. Hackley, a race attorney of Denver, Colo. Madam Hackley graduated from the musical conservatory of Denver with eight honors and entered upon her musical career. Her work among the race was highly successful but desiring a higher standard along the lines of rudimentary instruction Madam Hackley departed for Europe to complete her musical training. After a number of years in the old country at the feet of the greatest masters of the art, she returned to America and resumed the work of her chosen vocation. Her work among the various branches of race endeavor has been highly successful and greatly appreciated by the music loving public. The Negro Spirituals were given special attention by Madam Hackley in her instructions and entertainments, and were elevated to a degree of appreciation heretofore unknown. The funeral occurred Saturday from the residence of Mrs. Marietta Johnson, her sister, with whom she spent her last hours. Cross a healthy, educated, cultured American strain with a healthy, educated, cultured Japanese strain, and what do you get—a mongrel—or an Airdale? The test by which the little Aokis made their record-breaking averages is the "Terminal Binet test," a modification of the basic Binet-Simon intelligence test, worked out by Professor Lewis M. Terman, educational psychologist of Standford. The "mongrel's test" isn't proved by one test, of course. We must have dozens and hundreds of tests. But this one test should cause us to ponder soberly. The world is a hodge-podge of races. Racial pride is strong and intolerant. It causes wars. Yet, where races touch, there is bound to be inter-marriage, and the mixed blood, starting at the edge, creeps toward the center. If we lift the man on mixed marriages, what then? Would we not draw into our veins, or the worst blood, but perhaps the best, from the vein of neighboring peoples? Be Airedales? Perhaps we are, too finely bred. Maybe we are inbred. The bird dog is the hustsman's assistant, but he can't fight for cold beans. The bulldog is a fighter parexcellence. The dog is playing a bird. The draft horse can't win races and the race horse can't draw loads. The Airdale is an all-round dog and Dobbin is strong enough and fast enough for all our purposes. If we lifted the ban on mixed marriages, would we—all the people of the world—become "geluses," two-legged Alredales, physically strong, mentally alert? I do not state it is a fact. I simply ask the question. BARSTOW DUNCAN AND MARSHALL FLOYD IN RECITAL The Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church of Pasadena presented the music lovers of that city with a most unique program Thursday evening when Mr. Barton Duncan, Violinist and Mr. Marshall Floyd, Lyric Tenor appeared in recital. The recital with pretty Mts Helen Duncan at the piano was most artistically arranged and very successfully carried out. Mr. Duncan who is recently of New York City, easily proved that he was at home with the Violin, as his nimble fingers plyed the string of that sweet instrument, one was easily convinced that he is no sorry genius with the Violin. Mr. Cloyd has not only a pleasing personality but a sweet, lyric tenor voice that thrilla as it rises. Disease artists ah www.diseaseartistsah.com ```markdown ``` that attended Longfellow's Hawiata. Wendell Phillips was more successful with his creation, TOUSSAINT L'OVERTURE. There is a race prejudice in such cases that authors cannot, with impunity, ignore. Shakespeare knew before hand just about what the audience would think of OTHELLO. Longfellow knew the same was true of Hawiata; even our own genius, Coleride-Taylor, by his own tact, foresaw how the world would naturally regard his musical settings of an unpopular American poem and later the almost operatic treatment of another unfavorable classic, A Tale of Old Japan, though he found a way to present the characters so as to make them really fascinating. Many authors, notably historians, have succeeded in branding an entire race or a whole nation ungenerous, unjust, and, too, living within our circle or our sight. These Tribunes have stirred our prejudices against races and have kept from us the truer, more characteristic things. It hurps when you suddenly discover that what you have always believed was true, and wanted to believe was true, isn't true at all. When Kipring wrote "East is East and West is West," I said, "That's true, and probably you did, too. When Professor Lothrop Stoddard of Harvard wrote the Rising Tide of Colonel building its argument on the premise that white, brown, red and black blood won't mix, I wanted to believe that the professor had the straight of it. Nevertheless, I worried about it. Stoddard doesn't think much of "mongrels." Being white, he admits a white man is a better man than a brown, red or black one. But he is emphatic in saying that a man who is all white, all brown; all red or all black is a better man than he who has mixed blood in his veins. Is this premise false? I am shocking most white people by simply asking the question. Yet have we been fair to the "mongrel?" What is a "mongrel"? Flea-bitten, mangy, ill-nourished canines carry on loose love affairs in alleyes, and the results are flea-bitten, mangy, ill-nourished "mongrel" puppies. Such results are to be expected. By the same token, in 99 cases out of 100, where whites and negroes, whites and Indians or whites and orientals marry, the contracting parties are of the lowest strata, mentally deficient, physically imperfect and socially shameless. From unions we get "mongrels." But what of the alfredale? He is the result of a wise crossing of good strains. And he is everything that a dog ought to be—physically strong, mentally alert, courageous and loyal to its master. Will a similar wise crossing of good strains do as much for the human as it has done for the dog? Fourteen years ago Helen Frances Emery, daughter of Archdeacon and Mrs. John A. Emery of the Episcopal church, San Francisco and Gunjiro Ackl, a Japanese, were married. There was a storm of protest when the engagement was announced that spread up and down the coast and all over America. The news was on the front page of every newspaper.

M., D. D., of Chicago, IL, $General Missionary of the National Baptist Convention, reached the city Friday morning from the session of the National Baptist Convention and to a representative for the Eagle declared that the 42nd annual session of the convention was one of the greatest in its history. "There was indeed a large delegation," declared Mr. Stewart, "and all seemed interested. There was practically no business transacted until after the election of a president. The aspirants for the position of president were: Revs. M. W. D. Norman, of Washington, D. C.; W. H. Moses, of York; W. K. Barks of Philadelphia; I. James Bryan of Atlanta, Ga. and L. K. Williams of Chicago. It was a case of the field against K. Williams, except Dr. Norman, who withdrew in favor of the son of Texas, while the others drew threw their strength to Parks. The votes were 898 for Williams and 769 for Parks. "It was decided to hold the next session in Los Angeles, because the strike prevented the meeting from being held here last September. It promises to be a very large session, as many of the members of the convention have returned and increased the delegation. "The convention spoke out on racial matters. They condemned the republic senate for not passing the lily Anti Lynching Bill, branding them asords for permitting it, the democratic minority to defame it, the bitching, mob violence and the like were like manner condemned. The K. K. K was denounced as un-American, and a danger line to the American institution. "The other officers elected were: Revs. W. M. Taylor, of Louisiana, vice president at large; R. B. Hudson Alabama, chief secretary; E. Arlington Wilson, Texas; J. N. Nabrit Georgia; E. H. McDonald, Nebraska T. O. Fuller, Tennessee, assistant secretaries; J. Stokes, Alabama, treasurer; C. H.

He has made a practice for several years of going from city to city and interesting people of the Negro Race in a purported valuable motor invention on which he claims to have Letters Patent. He has never, however, exhibited the actual Letters Patent to anyone. He fleeced the good colored people of San Francisco out of hundreds of Dollars and even after his sirrest continued his nefarious practices until the field was played out and he was short of room rent.

New York musicians are very much concerned at present with the licensing of music teachers. As we have defeated that measure in this state, it is interesting to read of the efforts put forth in that state to defeat the measure. All earnest, conscientious musicians agree that it is impossible to fix a standard that will cover all forms of music teaching in a fair and impartial manner. Although the teaching of piano and violin has, today, been reduced to an almost exact science from the mechanical side, the teaching of the voice is still an inexact procedure, it has been said that there are more fakers in the voice profession than if all the other professions combined. This is largely true. When one reads of a teacher who puts a silver spoon in a pupils mouth, or catches hold of his tongue with a pair of pincers, or makes him vocalize lying flat of his back, or puts pebbles in his mouth and many other ridiculous things he is apt to believe that singing is a mysterious process that only the select few ever acquire. If singing is so intricate, how is it then, that the untrained singer right from the woods, so to speak, can produce a better, clearer and purer tone than the student of several years training under a famous singing teacher. No, the fact is, singing is natural, just as natural as speaking, public speaking is taught in Colleges and Universities. What the teacher really does, is principally concerned with matter of helping the student to find the possibilities of his voice, to control the emission of tone, and to understand certain laws that will enable him to control that tone under all circumstances. Proper pronunciation of words, which differs some according to pitch, etc, is not unlike that required in public speaking. Interpretation, style, stage department, languages, history and other subjects come later and in many cases are learned from other teachers. The foundation teacher, or the singing teacher must work first with the plain voice, and after some control of that orgun is acquired, then the other subjects may be added. Dudley Buck, the well-known singing teacher, says, "When you find the pupils of a given teacher who sing with comparative freedom of throat, you may be sure that that teacher's system is based upon a true fundamental principle, that his knowledge of anatomy is correct, and that he has the necessary analytical mind to produce the same results in most cases. "Voice production can only be acquired through two channels, namely Sounds and Sensations. It is how it sounds in your ears and how it feels in your head, mouth and chest cavities, that finally decides, for you, the question of a well produced tone and no one can teach another with authority, who does not know the sensation himself and the physical laws which govern its control. The laws of nature are the fundamental principles upon which all teachers must rely, for in them, one finds the known scientific truths, without which successful teaching is impossible. Nature and Common Sense are the two greatest teachers in the world, for the nearer one comes to nature, the nearer one is to perfection, and common sense, naturally, must govern all wor." All vocal methods then should be natural, that is, simple and without a lot of ridiculous mannerisms. And since these methods are varied and since singing is an art and not a science, how can one set a standard of vocal training. The only thing that can be done, is the setting of a standard of general education, which might prevent the ignorant teacher from operating. But the public, and especially the student, must read, and learn to discriminate for himself. As a class, the singing student is very seldom a student of must.

If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened PAGE-6 CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS Continued From Page 1 Sec. 1 Nor was he the man to judge a fellow being by his color for Race Hatred could not find a more deadly enemy than himself. His wisdom and experience had made him one of the most fit for business and for the leader of men, and one morning as the bright sun rose over the blue tipped mountains of the Pacific coast he slipped off of the train into the fairest little city his eyes had ever beheld. He was tired of travel. He was weared with adventure. Fate bade him rest by the wayside and there he dwelt and toiled and prospered. To his side as a life companion came one of the fairest daughters of an old early Spanish family who boasted of the blood of kings in her veins, and though her own beautiful features were chissled from olive marble, yet she bore the most extreme apathy towards any person whose skin was less white than snow. And when the golden curls began to blossom over her beloved little son's fair head she was the happiest of all earthly mothers for her great fear, from the time she began to make the little dresses for the expected stranger, was that its little skin might follow her own strain of blood. In peaceful reverie besat him one evening, this soldier of fortune, in his luxuriously furnished parlor, enjoying an occasional "puff" of his favorite Mibana. happy in the satisfaction that he was able to assist any one whom appealed to him or who might come to his door. To a man of his calibre nothing could have been more objectionable or repulsive than to have been obliged to dwell in the midst of wealth and luxury with the kkknowledge that any one about him was in distress, were he not at liberty to assist them. By his side sat his young wife who was wont to read to him of an evening from her favorite books, and this evening in particular as her gentle and well cultivated voice soothed his tired brain the story which she read recalled to his memory certain adventures of his own so closely, that he was wrapped in deep, silent attention. It was a book, written by an adventurer who related his experiences, many reader, after he had landed penniless and destitute in a remote district of Japan, having been set afloat upon the open sea as a mutineer of a ship's crew on which he had sailed. The treatment accorded him, after being discovered by a people who knew nothing of his race nor language, was neither cruel nor severe, but to one inexperienced in adventure, or a timid young girl, the narrative fairly teemed with thrills of horror! As she finished the chapter and laid the book on the corner of the table, she gave a perceptible shudder and glancing down into the little crib at her side she gazed long and fondly upon her heart's affection and then, with a gentle sigh, she leaned back against her husband's shoulder and gave vent to her feelings of fear in expressing the hopes that her beloved offspring might never traverse the land of which she had just been reading which had been so hideously portrayed to her mind by the author. A strong comforting arm encircled her lilith shoulders, holding her gently to his breast as he related to her his own personal knowledge and experience of that part of the world and its people of which she had just been reading. He pointed out to her the many long years that had elapsed since the author's experience and the then present day and the wonderful stride which the dreaded country has taken towards Christianity and civilization, as we see it. He pointed out to her their laws, their government, and their constitution. He told her of their arts and scholars. He told her to the wonderful work which the missionaries have accomplished and their willingness to accept Christianity. He told her of the loyalty and love of the parents for their children and the obedience of their offspring and their respect for old age. He told her of their faith in their friends and those whom they trust, of their charity towards strangers, and of their honesty, sobriety and industriousness. He told her the difference between true Christian principles and hypocrisy camouflaged by the cloak of the church which makes a mockery of Christianity. He told her of their thriftiness and how they have to toll for a living in their over populated country. He told her of the wonderous beauty of the fair country of which so few Americans have ever seen. Its mountains and great pine forests and the lakes and the wonderful inland sea with its hundreds of little islands. The beauty of the parks and mountains in the spring, when they are covered with cherry and plum blossoms, and the wonderful pergolas all covered with festoons of wistaria. And, oh! how the Maple trees, in all their glorious Autumnal splendor reminded him of his old boy hood days, back East! He related to her his experience, when, one time, years before he had ever met her, when penniless and destitute, a stranger in distress among strangers, after his own race had denied him assistance, one of those very self same people had come to his assistance and gave him the helping hand which had saved his life able to him any time than to allow a falsehood to escape his lips. The book which she had been reading slipped slowly from her lap, where she had allowed it to settle and fell gently to the softly carpeted floor. She glanced up into her husband's face and with a sigh of contentment she allowed her head to settle heavily upon his breast. Accustomed to obey his conscience and uphold his principle of manliness, Sunday morning invariably found him paying his respects to his Diety whom he held above all in all. And as he sat in the family pew one morning, lost in deep meditation, the parson announced from the pulpit: "I have chosen for my text this morning the eleventh chapter and the first verse of Eccl." "Cast thy bread upon the waters for after many days it shall return to you." "Our collection this morning is for the needy in the famine stricken district of Japan." "I hop that we shall have a liberal offering for they are in sore need of assistance from the outside world." When he had made this announcement an elderly deacon approached the pulpit and was handed a small basket in which to take up the collection. The parson then beset him in his usual chair by the rostrum, turning over the leaves of his text book while the choir sang the sweet old old, hymn so dear to the hearts of all civilization who has ever heard the chimes of the church bells: "From Greenland's icy mountains To India's coral strands They call us to deliver Their land from error's chains." The quiet foot steps of the good old deacon who was taking up the collection failed to arrest the attention of the wealthy banker, or to arouse him from his meditation as he passed his pew, but his dutiful young wife had something to tell him which would not keep till after church and she quietly nudged him after the deacon had passed and inquired of him "if he had not forgotten something?" As his awkward wits quickly informed him of his whereabouts he started to reach for his check book to make amends for his tardiness, but his wife detained the movement, laying her hand upon his arm. "I contributed for both of us dear," she informed him, "but oh dear, do you know what baby did?" He was playing with my locket and some way or other, he got it loose from the chain, and before I noticed what he was doing, he reached over the back of the pew, after the deacon had passed, and dropped it into the contribution." "And the poor old deacon must have thought that it was more money for he smiled and said: 'The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,' 'How shall I get it back?' "Her husband, who had been listening to her in a mood almost as serious as a judge, now rendered his decision: "Well dear, let it go now, anyway." "Who knows what may become of it, something or other?" And he reached his arm around his little son who sat beside him in the pew and drew him closer to him as he faintly smiled and patted his golden curls. While the whispered conversation had been going on between husband and wife, the faithful old deacon had finished his round with the contribution basket and returned to the pulpit wit hit where he placed it on a small stand beside the pastor, who now arose and gazing into the well filled basket announced as the choir finished the hymn: "We return thanks for a liberal contribution," and then bending over the basket, as he espied something unusual therein, he picked up the little locket and gaved musingly upon it, and then replaced it in the basket, with the rest of the contribution, he added to his previous announcement: "In lieu of cash some one of my parishioners has contributed a very valuable little trinket which I shall forward just as it is." "It may not appease the appitite of those who are distressed with hunger, but, nevertheless, it will serve to let them know that there is some one on this side of the world who loves them and who sympathizes with them in their distress." Far into the late hours of the pleasant Summer evening, Dick Balden and his wife sat that night building air castles and planning/the future for the little idol of all their earthly happiness. But, such as fate, air castles are not always completed, and long ere the little locket had reached its destination a sad toll had been exacted from the quiet little village by the Grim Reaper, as one beautiful morning. soon after, just such a lovely morn as when his eyes had first beheld this most beautiful garedin of all his earthly explorations, the still morning atmosphere was broken by the sad tolling of the Old Mission bells. But their sad peals could not awaken from his slumber nor cause his sealed eyes to again behold the beauties of the quiet little valley which this soldier of travel and adventure had chosen for his home and last resting place. Dick Belden had ascended the gang plank of the Master Ship from which he would never return to this world, but his good deeds towards all mankind had made his life worth living. His upright and honest principle had caused him to fear nothing on earth and he did not fear to meet his Creator. According to his oft expressed desire, his body was laid away, without pomp or ceremony, on the quiet hill side, just across the narrow valley, from his home. For the first hour of bereavement it was well known by all of the little family's friends that the sad blow was too much. $100 DOWN Will Deliver to Your Home Any Model ```markdown ``` Grafonola Choice of Any Finish $30 to $175 Payments on Balance as Low as $1.00 a Week No Interest Company 229 W.

Time has long since caused to fall and decay, the pititable pine stakkes which marked the two graves on the mountain side till a more befitting monument which alas never came, should be erected, and the graves which were allowed to sink to a level have long ago been lost and covered with the bramble and bushhorn which covers the mountain side. Fod a brief time the beautiful mansion on the hill side was silent. The shutters on the windows were closed and the great doors were barred. No lights were seen in the window of an evening and the drooping flowers and the overgrown grass of the beautiful lawn bore mute testimony to the fact that the house was without a master. But decay and neglect were not destined to claim such a beautiful home.

THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE NEWS LOS ANGELES, CAL., DEC. 16, 1922 THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUN ITY WELFARE LEAGUE SWEEP ING THE IMPERIAL VALLEY On last Sunday afternoon in the C. M. E. Church, at El Centro, Calif., Rev. Carter, Pastor and the Pastors of all the City Churches present, the local organization of the International Community Welfare League was launched in the Imperial Valley. Unlimited praise is due Hon. Frank B. Alexandra, of El Centro for making possible the record breaking crowd which greeted General Counsel Hugh E. Macbeth of Los Angeles, as he arose to address the citizens of the Valley. For one hour and a half, Counselor Macbeth kept his hearers spell bound as he shot fact after fact before their minds. At the conclusion of the address, the unanimous decision was for the organization of The International Community Welfare League in the Valley. The Slogan of the league in the Imperial Valley is to spread the membership of the League from Niland to the Gulf of California, and to improve the conditions for the members of the League. The meeting was attended by people of all walks of life, from school teachers to farmers. On all sides the sentiment is expressed that the entrance of the League into the Imperial Valley means the strengthening of the splendid Colored and Mexican families and leaders in the Valley and the increase of their numbers. The cause of better working conditions and relationship between all races in the Valley is also greatly increased. Mr. M. C. Combs, one of the new members of the El Centro local, was so enthused over the idea of the International Community Welfare League, that he decided to take the train for Oklahoma City, Okla., where he will spend two months in organization work for the League in that City. IN THE FIELD Dr. H. B. Gantt, International Interdenominational Evangelist and Organizer of the Intrenational Community Welfare League arrived in Okmugee, Okla., from Los Angeles, Calif., a few weeks ago and began his state wide campign of evangelization., Dr. Gantt's subjects treat of God's powers of Redemption and Regeneration for the Negro in earthly life as well as in heavenly life. Critics who have heard Dr. Gantt say that his efforts in this direction are the strongest of any in the American pulpit to-day. Negroes own the famous Santa Clara warm Sulphur Springs in Lower California, Mexico. An offer of $50,000 was recently made the owners by a group of white American physicians, but was refused. In San Diego, California Charles Harris, a young Negro chemist has developed a successful method of fighting the germs of tuberculosis. KNOCKINK PROHIBITED No person is permitted to say anything uncomplimentary, or unkind of any member of The International Welfare League, or any institution, business or effort with which any member of The International Community Welfare League is associated, either in a meeting of the League or otherwise. If any member of the League or any institution represented by a member of the League is suspected of any uncomplimentary conduct or attitude, the person so suspecting may make in writing an open question covering his or her suspicions and deliver secretly said written question to the Secretary of the Local League, whose duty it shall be to communicate said question to the member, members, or institution involved, and if possible secure their reply thereto within ten days after said communication. And the secretary shall read said written question and reply at the next meeting of the League.

This procedure shall be involved in all cases calling for destructive criticism of any member or institution having a member who is a member of The International Community League. THE RIGHT ORGANIZATION FOR THE NEGRO In a recent issue of one of the leading Negro weeklies, the Editor brings to the attention of the public the evils of "multiplicity of organizations." It is an established fact that organization is the most effective method for productivity whether for good or for evil. But, the multiplicity of organizations is a delriment to the political and economic life of the average American Negro. In view of this stand taken by the Negro press, why not pool our abilities nad efforts into one "Hig" organization. The International Community Welfare League that has for its program the welfare and all that is good morally, financially and spiritually for all peoples of Negro, Indian and Latin-American blood. The banding together of all these peoples into one organization which seeks to improve, at all times, conditions in the local community, and which puts the best grains in control of all efforts, is the strongest guarantee of success for each people. A multiplicity of organizations can be clearly defined as organizations purely for monetary gains of the "would-be-leaders," political organizations lead by "job-seekers," factions organized to split the mother organization, for the benefit of the few, and a score of others, too numerous for citation. However these constitute the great bulk of organizations that have almost caused our people to label organized efforts "as the Bunk." An organization like the International Community Welfare League is purely Democratic, having ten fundamentals for its achievement—(1) a force, (2) of opinion, (3) and of feeling, (4) operating within the people, (5) enabling the majority of them (6) to get what they want whenever they want it (7) by means of peaceful organization (8) and to make these gains secure by laws, (9) for it is only by its own way regardless of mistakes that an organization or people can (10) achieve its destiny, which is to grow better each day and improve their welfare. Dr. S. S. Turner, who suffered a relapse after her recent illness is again able to be at her office and to care for the needs of her patients. The International Community Welfare League has opened up new positions for five hundred. Negro farm hands in Imperial Valley, California. The Negro settlers in Mexico have requested the Mexican Government to permit them to have as many Mexicans as Negroes in each colony. This is looked on with decided favor by the Mexican Authorities. Mr. Eugene Roberts of Santa Clara, Mexico, was a business visitor in the city this week. Bristow, Okla.—Fifteen families composed a wagon train, which left here for Santa Clara, Lower California, Mexico. Five more families will join the "caravan", at Sapulpa, Okla. Their equipment includes plows, seed, etc. Foodstuffs for the home-seekers of the International Community Welfare League will be raised on the Santa Clara Ranch, Lower California, Mex. Negroes now own more farm land in Lower California than in California. The Highest awards ever made at the Livestock shows at San Diego, California were awarded cattle grown in the Santa Clara Valley, now owned by Ngroes. Come and See The Old Reliable J. W.

WHAT WILL GOVERNOR RICHARDSON DO? ; It will be interesting to knov just. what will be the attitude of Governor Friend Richardsor when he assumes office toward giving recognition to all the forces in this great common. wealth. His predecessor, Gov- ernor William D. Stephens ut- terly failed to give to the col. ored people any recognition worth while and at the prim- aries, taking this fact in ac- count they lined up_ solidly against him and it was this vote which was the balancing power that made Governor-elect Rich- ardson’s nomination sure. We have an abiding faith in the fairness of our Governor-elect and will be really disappointed if he should fail in giving to all elements a just and fair recog- nition and in keeping with this thought we will anxiously watch and wait for these things to come to pass. . HAPTIST CONVENTION . HERE IN 1922. ‘The great National Baptist Convention has decided to hold its next annual session in _ this city in September 1923. This decision was of course the only logical one to make, after the disappointment which was ours the past September, caused by the moving of the convention to Saint Louis.. We appreciat the fact that the railroad ‘strike was the cause of the same. * Any time a great body repre- senting as many people as this body represents decides to meet at a given plac it pays that particular place a higt compliment, and now all that this city has to do is to live up to the measure by which you have,been gauged. The experience gained from the supposed coming of the convention last September will stand as guiding posts and the mistakes can be_ rectified and order brought out of chaos. This conyention is such a_ big affair that in so far as its enter- tainment is concerned denomi- national lines should be forgot- ten and a strong committee of citizens should be put at the helm with but one purpose in view and let that purpose be to give this convention the grand- est welcome which it has ever been their-lot to receive. Los Angeles from afar stands like a beacon light beckoning all mankind to come this way and gaze upon her splendor and beauty. Our best - people from all parts of our country aspire to look in upon us and to have first sight of the opportun- ities offered on these Western shores. We have thousands who are real producers, from not ofly the soil of the earth but along all the various lines of effort and this convention will give many of them an ex- cuse as well as an opportunity to come and see for themselves. When they come to look at our virgin soil, our business oppor- tunities, they will carry back home the message and then we shall attract to this baliwick, those who are worth while, the producers from the soil, the merchant princes, the mechan- ic, the artisan and skjll work- ers, and then when in this sec- tidn Whéré productior- is- the key-word busines’ “will grow and thrive and we shall truly- take our proper places in’ the mighty procession of progress. Then and not until then will we be able to ever trail the Jap- anese, Chinese and other alien race as factors in the commer- cial and business activities of this great Western Country.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 14, 1922.—There were three services scheduled for Mt. Olive Baptist Church next Sunday, the 17th, with the children's program for the afternoon, but owing to the inclementity of the weather and sickness it has been postponed indefinitely. The services of last Sabbath were very helpful indeed. The pastor preached at the 11 o'clock hour—“The Word of God is liken unto a Transforming Power,” Text, Jer. 23:29; white the evening subject: “A Family invitation,” Text, Gen. 7:1, was equally full of inspiration and truth. There was a splendid audience in attendance; several visitors were present. The Sunday School has done a wonderful work this year, the lessons are beautifully taught and everyone seems to be insured thereby. Both churches—the St. Paul A. M. E., Key, C. A. Harris, Pastor and Mt. Olive Baptist, Rev. H. B. Thomas, Pastor, have been busy preparing their programs for the Christmas exercise and tree; each is striving to make this the meriest of the merry Christmas ever experienced in Santa Barbara. There are still remaining a number of sick among us. Those reported on the sick list are Mrs. Eliza Dunkin; Mrs. Chas. D. Marshall; Mrs. Nettle Jones and her little son, Teddy, who is slowly but steadily improving. We are pleased to note the presence of Mr. Richard Swanson, a bright young man from Los Angeles New Hope Baptist Church who has come with us to make himself useful in the cause of Christ. We pray that nothing will turn this young man aside from the brave start he has made on his advent from home, as there are several erroneous reports rumor around concernig the discharge of the men of our Race so suddenly, who were to have served as cooks and waiters at the "American Cafe" in this city on the main street of the city namely State street. We feel it our duty having inside information as to the facts in the case to let them be known, and shift the blame where it rightly belongs. A few days ago the proprietor of the above named cafe had a misunderstanding with the white help in his employ and requested a certain gentleman of our Race to get him enough men, also of our Race, to supply, the vacancy that was being made by the discharge of his white help. After a little effort put forth by both the man of our Race and the proprietor, the change was made. But his trouble had just begun for a number of his patrons met and sign a pledge to boycott said cate if he, the proprietor, used to employ, white help, and so in turn reported that he had sold out and the new owner furious his own service of the men of our Race. While we feel that it was unjust we are living in the present—laying up treasures or preparing for the future, and the colored American stands in the same position as every other race in this country and should be treated the same.
