City Pays Great Tribute To Slain Police Officer

CHAS. P. WILLIAMS
PATROLMAN CHARLES P. WILLIAMS SLAIN IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS DUTY.
Officer Charles P. Williams was shot, at 5th and Stanford Avenue Saturday night, January 13th, by John Pryor, of 1815 Hooper Avenue and sustained a wound from which he died at the receiving hospital early Sunday morning. He leaves a widow and a four year old child in this city. The funeral was held Friday, January 19th.
At the inquest, held Tuesday morning, January 16, at the Conn-Johnson undertaking parlors, over the body of the slain officer, a coroner's jury found that he came to his death as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted by John Pryor.
Mrs. Gladys Shelton, of 1101 E. 5th Street, testified that Pryor appeared on her premises about seven o'clock on Saturday evening, posed as a police officer, and threatened her life and that of other inmates of the house with a revolver. She telephoned to send an officer to take Pryor into custody.
O'Neal Pullen of 812 Linden St. received Mrs. Shelton's call for aid, hailed Officers McClanahan and Williams on Central Avenue, and them started in a car to the Shelton house. The machine went out of commission before reaching the scene, however, and Officer Williams and O'Neal proceeded alone. Pryor, was standing on the corner of 5th and Stanford Avenue when Williams sought to place him under arrest, and after firing two shots at the officer, fired. Pryor was wounded in the leg by a bullet from Williams' gun.
Williams was hurried to the Receiving Hospital by R. W. Matthews, a truck driver, who reached the spot shortly after the wounded officer fell, but efforts to save his life were unavailing. A bullet had penetrated his abdomen, and he passed away early Sunday morning.
Within seven hours after the slaying the murderer was taken into custody at his home, 1815 Hooper Avenue, by Detective Sergeants Stevens, Glenn, Green, Garrott, and McDuff, and Officer Broady, J. L. Klimbrugh, White, Pipkin, Ross, McClanahan, Byrd, Corley, Robertson, Sheffield and Kent. The man-hunt was personally conducted by Chief-of-Police L. D Oaks, assisted by Detective Sergeant W. W. Glenn. The chief left his bed and remained with his men until the slayer was arrested.
John Pryor, shortly after being taken to the County Jail, signed a confession, in which he stated that he had been informed by people residing in the neighborhood of the Shelton place that the samesame was a house of prostitution, andas such a menace to the morals of the youth of the community: that he had, on Saturday night, telephoned police headquarters with a view to having said house raid; that his presence on and near the Shelton premises was for the purpose of watching the house; that he was awaiting the arrival of officers in response to his call when approached and ordered to throw up his hands, by Officer Williams. The latter was in plain clothes, and Pryor asserted that he believed Williams to be one of the habitues of the Shelton place, when he fired the fatal shot.
Within forty-eight hours after the death of Officer Williams, Chief-of-Police Oaks presented his widow with a check for One Thousand Dollars from the Police Relief Association.
The funeral of Officer Williams was
held at Wesley Chapel Church at 2:00 o'clock yesterday when a vast course of people turned out to pay their last respects. Rev. L. B. Brown, assisted by Rev. A. P. Shaw, conducted the services. The police force turned out in a body and music was furnished by the police band. Connor and Johnson, undertakers, had charge of the funeral and conducted the same in their usual highly credited manner. The mother of Mr. Williams, Mrs. Mary Williams' of Waco, Texas, arrived Thursday evening also his aunt, Mrs. Janie Louder of Fresno, California.
CHAS. S. GILPIN IN "THE EMPEROR JONES"
CHAS. S. GILPIN IN "THE EMPEROR JONES"
By: DORA L. MITCHELL
A superb actor in a stage presentation refreshing in its novelty and originality, inspiring in its splendid artistry. Such is Charles S. Gilpin in "The Emperor Jones."
In the first scene portraying a cynical, jovial and thoroughly likeable rogue—a former Pullman porter and escaped convict who by shrewdness and force of personality has set himself up as Emperor over the ignorant and superstitious blacks of a West Indian island, craftily banking his gains in a foreign country and deliberately laying plans for escape when awakening should come to his "subjects." Gilpin wins with his magnificent acting from the moment his extraordinary voice (soft and agreeable, yet sonorous and distinctly vrile) is heard behind the scenes before therance ofrance in the forest, physical and spiritual disintegration the result of tears aroused by the baffling shadows and the maddening monotony of the long-continued beating of drums by his pursuers, he wanders back to his starting point, and is slain by the disillusioned and rebellious natives.
As to the "character" of Brutus Jones, the writer takes issue with certain critics and even with his imperial Majesty himself, if he is rightly quoted as stating that in the opening the Emperor forfeits sympathy by his braggadocio and self-confessed villain, but wins sympathy in his subsequent tribulations. On the contrary, the clever, unscrupulous and successful knave commands sympathy and admiration, while his later folly and cowardice evoke contempt and exasperation. He might have redeemed himself had he taken his own life at the last with the silver bullet he kept as a charm—but even that had been thrown away in a wild effort to dispel fetched phantasms created by his own imagination—and the self-made Emperor perishes ignominiously, a victim of his victims, who, believing what he had told them—that his life was charmed and could only be taken with a silver bullet—had melted down silver coins and made bullets for that very purpose! The play was gorgously staged, the settings being strikingly beautiful expressions of the modern impressionistic school of stagecraft. The first scene, representing the audience chamber in the "Emperor's" palace, was a study in burned gold and Egyptian red, with a blaze of tropic blue sky glimpsed through a graceful archway. It made a super background for the two actors who dominated the scene. Other settings showing an equatorial forest in darkness, by moonlight and at dawn, were exquisitely lovely.
"the Emperor Jones" is a play that no lover of the drama or student of stagecraft should miss. And last, and most important: no person of our race should pass up this exceptional opportunity to pay tribute to genius as manifested by one of us...Genius that has been accorded enthusiastic plaudits by the most critical and exacting white audiences.
And apropos of plaudits, Mr. Gilpin on Wednesday night took a delightful little fling at prejudiced and provincial critics by citing the case of the representative of the constructive and progressive element in a community, who suggested that an elaborate play may have lay in the center of the new church—whereupon the chronic objector and exponent of the destructive school rose up and spoke thus: "Now, what do we want with a chandelier—when there's not a single brother in the church that can play it!"
A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL
THE STATE'S FOREMOST YOUNG MAN
By: BEN. W. INGHRAM
Payne Middleton is an exceptional young man, I have had the good pleas ure to meet with him on at least four different occasions, he is very generous, thoughtful, and his intelligen ce is far above the average young man at his age. His education wherever attained has not spoiled him. He is one of the best speakers in the state and can draw an audience anywhere. His success at the Chicago Congress and the minute report made in San Francisco should make all that know him proud that he belongs to us.
Mr. Middleton has launched a Christian Campaign in the Far West, and California policies in the fact that most of his activities will be in this State; his influence is wholehe, and in whatever community he comes that community will be blessed. Help him, help him, help him, everybody help him.

FAMOUS ATLANTA DIVINE RETURNS TO LOS ANGELES
FAMOUS ATLANTA DIVINE RETURNS TO LOS ANGELES
REV. ERNEST HALL, D. D.
Dr. Ernest Hall, famous Baptist Divine of Atlanta, Ga., returned to Los Angeles this week. It will be remembered that Dr. Hall visited this city in 1921, and created quite a fervor of excitement by the powerful discourses he made at the Second Baptist Church and other churches. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest preachers who has ever visited the Coast. He will be heard at Taboracle Church, Sunday, January 21, and during the coming week no doubt thousands of people will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear this distinguished Divine.
ARTICLES OF CO- OPERATION OF THE WESTERN BAPTISTS
At a special conference of Baptist pastors and laymen called by the Moderator of the Western Baptist Association, it was voted to issue a statement to the public setting forth certain facts in connection with the policy of co-operating with white Baptists which has been the object of attack in one of our racial papers in the city.
The great majority of Negro church organizations are holding some form of co-operative relationship in this country: namely, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Catholics, Disciples, and Methodists, except those branches of Methodists that do not cooperate. To put the matter conversely the only bodies of Negro Christians not maintaining some form of co-operation with white Christians are some of the branches of Methodism. Negro
Baptists offer no criticism of their Methodist brethren for a policy of separation from white Methodists; but those Negro Baptists who favor a co-operative relationship with white Baptists cannot understand why the same freedom of judgment which they accord to others holding an opposite view.
It is the policy of the National Baptist Convention to co-operate with white Baptists. For over twenty years the National Baptist Convention has been in cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention. The great and lamented leaders Dr. E. C. Morris and Dr. R. H. Boyd supported this policy, and for years Dr. Boyd as secretary of the Home Mission Board dispensed the funds of Southern white Baptists. In the northern states many white Baptists State conventions are in definite co-operation with Negro Baptist bodies. We may name Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and New York. Southern California is therefore no exception to the rule when the Western Baptist Association enters into co-operation with the Southern California Baptist Convention.
One of the objects of attack in the public press is that of the office of Superintendent of Negro Work which is supported by the Southern California Baptist Convention. The public should know that this office was created upon request of the Western Baptist Association. Not only was the office created by request of the Western Baptist Association, but the present incumbent of the office was nominated by the Board of the Western Baptist Association, and his appointment was approved by the Association. His salary has been paid by white Baptists, but Negro Baptists have received him and assisted in other ways in his support. Since this office was created the Southern California Baptist Convention has agreed to assist on a "fifty-fifty basis" in salaries of the general missionary, a director of religious education, and pastor in needy and struggling fields.
And this Conference hereby expresses itself as in hearty accord with the office of Superintendent of Negro Work, and its approval of the work of the present incumbent of the office. And we desire to tender to the Southern California Baptist Convention our appreciation of their assistance to our work by paying the salary of the Superintendent of Negro work, assisting in the salaries of the general missionary, the director of religious education, and a number of pastors in small fields in Southern California; and their assistance to the St. Paul Baptist church, the Pleasant Hill Baptist church and the Second Baptist Church all of Los Angeles, and the Friendship Baptist Church of Pasadena in the remodeling or erecting of houses of worship, and for other building projects contemplated in Succor California.
R. H. Holt, Chairman.
S. B. Johnson, Secy.
TIME TO CROW
"COLORED PEOPLE PUBLISH INITIAL MOTOR CAR ISSUE
"The California Eagle, a weekly paper owned and edited by Mrs. Charlotte A. Spear-Bass, a colored woman, in its Christmas edition published on December 28, carried an eight-page automobile section, edited under the supervision of E. L. Dorssey.
"This issue constitutes a departure for the Eagle, being the first automotive special put out by that or any other paper issued by colored people of California. The edition is attractively and neatly made up, well edited and carries a considerable amount of good advertising, along with ample and newsy reading matter.
"The automotive special, which may become a regular weekly institution with the Eagle, results from the fact that Los Angeles has a large colored population, which is possessed of a large number of automobiles and commercial cars. The colony has several highly successful automobile salesmen and it is evident that the big automobile producers appreciate the market afforded in the colored citizenry. This esteem is judged by the automobile producers have contracted in the Eagle special edition."
We are publishing a clipping from Wednesday's, January 17th, "Evening Express," one of Los Angeles' leading daily newspapers.
We appreciate the fact that this daily has seen fit to comment on this effort which was successfully carried out mainly by the Editor of the Automotive Section, E. L. Dorssey.
We have had letters from all parts of the East complimenting our Christmas issue which they say was the largest and most distinctive Christmas number ever issued by Colored newspaper folk.
Mason Opera and Chas. S. Gilpin
The Mason Opera House in seek
ing a large colored patronage this
week to see Chas. S. Gilpin in "Em
peror Jones," advertised exclusively
in California Eagle and it is said that
a large appreciative audience represen-
tative of the Colored contingency
crowded the Mason each evening, and
from every quarter we have had
favorable criticism concerning Gilpin
as an interpreter and a distinctive
actor of the Richard Mansfield class.
Like the Express the Mason sees
through the columns of this leading
periodical a broader avenue to busi-
ness and commerce, and that has weathered local adver-
sions for upwards of forty-two years.
Immediately after leaving the
theatre, upon arriving in the city
on Monday, January 15th, on which
date his engagement here opened,
Mr. Gilpin called, in company with
Mr. Noah D. Thompson, at the offices
of the California Eagle, and the least
that can be said is that we found Mr.
Gilpin as affable and unassuming a
man, as he is great an actor.
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY LODGE HOLDS INSTALLATIONS
Hanford, Calif., Jan. 15 — Last Friday night was one long to be remembered in fraternal circles, when the city was turned over to the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows on the occasion of the installation of officers of the Local Lodge, and Bakersfield, Fresno, Fowler Lodges joining in. It was indeed a notable occasion which brought visitors from all over San Juquin Valley to witness the exercises. The District Grand Master J. B. Bass of Los Angeles was present and conducted the exercises at the location which filled the large and spacious Odd Fellows hall to overflow. His address was received with the greatest enthusiasm and applause. The ladies of the Household of Ruth of Hanford Lodge also were installed.
Preceeding the installation a very splendid program was rendered, consisting of musical numbers and short addresses. Mrs. Marie Crawford of Hanford Lodge as Mistress of Ceremonies performed this duty with the highest credit. Rev. McGruder presided during the evening as Noble Grand. At the conclusion of the program, District Grand Master, J. B. Bass was introduced by T. M. Love of Visalia and after his address proceeded to install the officers of the four lodges. The spectacular manner revelation and hearty acclaims of good—good came from all parts of the hall. At the conclusion of this exercise the body marched into the banquet room where the ladies had prepared a most sumptuous banquet and it is said that this was one of the largest banquets ever served in the valley. The dancing was then on while music was furnished by the celebrated Jazz band of Fresno. Among the notable Odd Fellows present from out of town, besides the District Grand Master, were: T. M. Love of Visalia. Past District Grand Director; G. L. Howard, member of the Endowment Board from Bakerfield; William Bleean, Jr.; man of the banquet room; Fresno Lodge; C. E. Moore; S. C. Brown, W. Clark of Fresno; W. Person, John Pinkney and others of Bakersfield, C. O., Sheffield and W. Leach of Fowler and many others whose names your reporter failed to catch.
It was a most notable occasion and only a forerunner as to what is in store on the occasion of the Grand Lodge which meets here in August of this year.

NEW CHURCH DOORS OPENED
NEW CHURCH DOORS OPENED
PLEASANT HILL BAPSTEST THROWS OPEN DOORS OF NEW CHURCH By Idell Albritton. Beautiful the picture Saturday morning of the more than a score of faithful women as they worked away scrubbing the bench, pews, hanging curtains, mopping floors, flying hither and thither doing whatever their hands found to do and happily laughing and talking all the while in the large new church building at Bonnie Brae and Court Streets. A general stir of excitement prevailed. A carpenter or two were giving the last minute touches. The minister, Rev. Rozier with hammer in hand absorbed himself in putting in an extra nail here and there for security. The faces of them all were brimming over with a secret joy, their eyes fairly shown the message even before the glad tones heralded it that they would march to the new church on the tomorrow. It came at last. Sunday Old Sol in sympathy beamed his brightest rays in greeting the congregation. Everything was in readiness. Not even one flower of the large basket in the pastor's study could be rearranged to an advantage. The new high backed chairs setting back of the pulpit were on their dignity. The temporary pews waited patiently, resigned to bear their burdens humbly. Peace came in and with a heavenly smile of contentment sat herself down to rest.
Several hundred strong, shouting and singing praises to His name they matched in led by him their leader Rev. W. H. Rozier. All day long shouts of praise and thanksgiving were sent up to the Heavenly Father who had been with them in their deliverance from threatening clouds of failure to success. Generous were their praises to their leader who thru his efforts had brought the church into existence and remained with them to enjoy the day of its greater realization. Servers from nearly every church in the city were there. Two stages from Riverside brought delegates from the Park Avenue Baptist Church of which Rev. Rozier is also pastor and scores of autos brought members from the Furlong Baptist Church of which Rev. Rozier was lately pastor and other friends. A massive three storied brick building with room for enjoyment of every phase of church life is that of the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church today.
MRS. LELIA WALKER-WILSON President of the Madam C. J. Walker
Mrg. Co., of Indianapolis, Indiana
On account of the very brief Service which we had to interview this noted business woman, who is visiting Los Angeles at this time, our last issue merely carried an introduction to her large circle of friends and representatives, who are located through out California and the Pacific Northwest.
We found Mrs. Winn comfortably domiciled in the beautiful home of her friend Mrs. Nora Allen, 1594 W. 35th Place, exuberantly radiant over the warm reception and many fetes tended by her host of California friends in her thus far very brief stay. We also found that this accomplished, beautiful, and wealthy woman of the race possessed all of the charm and poise that have been credited to her from press accounts of the East. More than this, she is approachable and sympathetic. So one can emerge with heart to heart talk with a man of her bearing without feeling the urge to chant our recently appropriate slogan "Every day in every way this old world is getting better and better." Even in the briefest contact one is none the less affected and inspired.
After a few pleasant reflections on her visit here of three years ago, also a brief resume of the many angles of her famous business, I decided that it would be quite the proper diplomacy to share some of these brilliant and timely thoughts of this noted visitor, with the readers of this column. My real interest soon turned to the purpose of her visit to Los Angeles at this time. Appreciating her keen mentality, and her thorough gasp of business problems in general, I soon lost myself in her voluntary assertions of the future policy of Madam C. J. Walker Co., as it affects the race. She said: "Well, I guess I might as well tell you now as later just why I am in California at this season of the year. You see (and one could observe here that she is very studied in her business expression) when Moth er lived I was perfectly content to let mother er live, and to make a few affairs (Continued on Page Two).

Ev every now and then some thinker or scholar, bu b b forth the 'truth like an oasis in the desert. In a recent issue of Hearst's New York American, Dr. Charles Fleischer discusses on the editorial page "Our Color-phobia." His laconic and meaty article is marked by cander, pathos and resentment at the at the injustices done to the Negro and other peoples of color. He even singles out a full-blooded Negro—Roland Hayes, the ductor tenor of Boston—and asks the point-blank question: Why is it that a man of such ability, as to be recognized in London and Paris—why is it that he could not sing with any American orchestra at a subscription concert in New York. Boston, Chicago or New Orleans? Gentle reader, scan this article and answer these questions for yourself.
Phobias are, literally, "fearful" things.
Most of us are possessed or obsessed by fears, all our lives, from childhood's fear of the dark until old age's dread of what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coll.
Though the fewest of us can feel our fears in such poetic Shakespearean an terms as fairly to translate them into beauty.
Usually our phobias are ugly and undignified facts.
And we "specialize" in them. One person indulges in a fear—whose name is hatred—from which the other fellow is altogether free.
To specialize in this article only our kind of fear-hatred, there is the color phobia.
The Caucasian, secure in the concept of his superiority, commonly cultivates a color dislike which calmly includes everybody who is not white.
Not that this precludes other and mutual prejudice within the caucasian group. But that's another story—of still more highly specialized hatreds.
"It is curious, too, to note the geographical limitations of these phobias.
Your average Briton in India has a deep-seated contempt for the colored native. That same bronzed or black Hindu may visit Britain and receive every courtesy and social respect.
So we Americans "specialize" in phobias towards the various colors. Chinese and Japanese and Negroes are objects of unfriendly discrimination, whereas the Indian—whether the red native American variety or the imported Asiatic type—is usually accepted and welcome. These blanket exclusions based upon color phobias fail, of course, to distinguish among the individuals of such groups.
Cynically and with callous indifference, we simply sing some equivalent of the old song: "All coons look alike to me."
Which reminds the writer of a valued friend, a full-blooded Negro, born in America of slave parents. His name is Roland Hayes, a tenor of Boston, and one of the sweetest souls you would wish to know. A gentleman, in all that this much abused word implies. For three years now, Mr. Hayes has been singing in England and France, and anning the unanimistic plaudits of public critics.
He has sung before the King and Queen of England and has made "appearances" which are rarely possible to an American.
And yet there is hardly a chance that this same gentle, exceedingly talented singer and unusually fine-spirited soul would be invited to sing with any American orchestra at a subscription concert.
If in London and Paris, why not in New York, Boston, Chicago and New Orleans?
Blessed is the individual and the nation that is free from all phobias! For of such are the happy lovers of their kind which is all mankind.
Miss O. V. Young will render vocal solos at Tabernacle Baptist Church, Sunday, January 21st, in conjunction with services at which the eminent visiting divine, Dr. Hall of Atlanta, Georgia, will be heard.

I was present at said meeting, and desire to say that there was no reports from any of the departments of the church, nor was there any report submitted by the Church Clerk or Church Treasurer; therefore, it was impossible for any report to show a balance of $400. in the Treasury.
As to the election of Deacons there were only two Deacons elected. Brother H. B. Harris and Brother H. Herring. The article stated that the reports showed progress. On the contrary, everything showed a lack of progress, which is the reason we were not able to have reports from these officers and departments.

West winds and a silver star,
And a star path over the loam—
And my restless feet
Are stilled at last,
For my heart has found its home.

Where mountains meet the Vale—
Purpling hills where the peace of God

(Continued from 'Page One')
In other words, with Mother, and our highly efficient managerial headquarters in Indianapolis in active charge, it wasn't necessary for me to sacrifice too much of social life for business. You will recall that I returned from Europe and the Holy Land just this past spring. Since my return I have been traveling in every section of America noting the needs of our ever growing and, now, internationally known business. During this time I have had the companionship of two of my best traveling Representatives in the person of Mrs. A. C. Burnett and Mr. J. F. Johnson. These Representatives have been with the company for more than six years and are with me on this trip. Many months ago, you understand, I decided that our work needed to be put on a higher plane in California and particularly in Los Angeles." Here, again, displaying the ironical thought of a "Hetty Green," she continued, "You have had reports or figure that enable me to make an easy decision in favor of Los Angeles. Personally, it seems to me that a Branch of our Beauty Parlor System thoroughly established here would mean much to the women of our Race. I have instructed my Representatives to locate and open such a place before I leave again for the East."
Mrs. Wilson. I interrupted. "What do you mean by your Beauty Parlor System?" "It is simply this: Our company in Indianapolis endeavors to, open a company-owned Parlor in many of the large cities of the country. You see, my traveling over the country has shown me just this need. As for Los Angeles, our new Parlor here will be the show place of its kind. This Parlor will be opened for all of the people all of the time. A new feature of this parlor will be a public reading room, or library. I have wired East for a number of Race books and Magazines which should be on hand for our opening. As you know, the growth and future of this kind of a business depends upon the people of Los Angeles. This Parlor will serve to meet the needs of the entire State, and will be under the active management of my niece, Miss Anjetta Breedlove, who has had wide experience in this line."
Lest I forget or being anxious to get to the real pith of things, I ventured. "Mrs. Wilson, who are all of the people actively associated with you in the Management of your business."
She replied with all the vigor at her command: "The same people that helped my Mother build this business are still with me and they are all

Hansom, the Attorney and General Manager, Mr. Ransom is the leading colored Attorney of Indianapolis and has so wisely handled our business that I am perfectly safe to leave everything legal to his final judgment. Our business today is as Mother left it, in the hands of capable Colored Men and Women." As I was about to take leave of this beautiful and delicately perfumed visitor from the East, she said, "The Madam Waller Company has many surprises in store for our friend and representative. I am still thinking of that wondeful trip to the Holy Land, and hoy hine it would be, that more of our Ministers might be able to see what I have. Well, I won't give my secret away right here—it will keep for a short while, now."
With so many beautiful thoughts buzzing in my brain I stepped out into the beautiful noon-day sun, radiant with hope, enthusiasm, and a happier outlook on life.
Now I pass it on to you.

WHO IS "BOSS" OF YOUR DOLLARS?
A good many men let the other fellow spend the money they earn—the other fellow just has to suggest something to sell them and—the money is GONE.
Some men are strong enough to control their own money. Every time they get money, they put some of it in a Savings Account—first—BEFORE the fellow who wants to sell you something gets a chance.
It takes a MAN, and a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, in a GOOD BANK, and a STRONG WILL to build up a fund of money in bank which you can use for things that are really worth while.
Why not make a good strong resolution, open an account, and SAVE?

Carey and Hollis, Executive Committee.
In a few weeks another organization of national importance will be established here. Dr. G. W. Reed must be given credit for his inspirational activity along these lines; he is backed by the entire membership of the church, and many of the progressive citizens of our community, regardless of denominational affiliations. In short, Dr. Reed is a man to the people.

The attention of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People had been called to this matter, but before any definite action had been taken by it the reverend and his leacon had precipitated a riot on the street Saturday night, in which iron bars, bricks and fists flew in every direction, leaving behind for the patrol wagon, broken jaws, battered noses, blackened eyes and lacerated scalps. Breeze and his deacon are in jail charged with assault with concealed weapons, the latter suffering from a broken jaw and the former several scalp wounds.
Charles Derrick, athletic director of the Eureka Club made objections to the parson's remarks, which caused the battle.
AT THE LEGISLATURE
When Speaker Merriam announced the fifty-two standing committees Monday, Assemblyman Roberts was on six as follows: Education, Engrossment and Enrollment, of which he is Chairman; Insurance, Apportionment, Revision and Printing, and Ways nad Means.
Roberts says he has only one bill to present and that is that police department records be cleared of the names of persons arrested and not convicted. It is obvious that that would be a good piece of legislation.
A Los Angeles legislator, who does not care to have his name published at this time, is preparing a bill aimed at the Klan. The measure will be drawn to prevent the wearing of hoods and closed membership lists. It is designed to remove the secrecy and mystery from the Klan activities. Assemblyman Schmidt is throwing a scare to Speeders by proposing stiff jail sentences rather than fines. "Danger jail ahead." Assemblyman Eksward has a bill making "three time losers" automatically subject to life imprisonment. He thinks that this will diminish the crime-orgy for the past few years.
Senator Slater has a letter from the Pacific Religious Liberty Association, saying they will fight any Sunday blue law legislation attempted by The Lord's Day Alliance.
Assemblyman Lyons introduced a bill making insanity grounds for divorce, five years after a person has been declared insane by a competent court.
The double headed monster Wet and Dry has dared to show his head again and the same old fight between Labor and The Better America Federation is on with the "Open Shop" as the bogy.
The Stranger says: "Keep straight ahead with a stiff upper lip and you will succeed."

STIRRING TALE OF CIVILIZATION; NURSERY LAND
By Wendall P. Gladden, Jr.
THE AWAKENING.
or ye, all ye nations, ye peoples
out of the years I come to speak
udly for millions once in bondage
held,
so cowed and meek:
are so cowed and meek;
aptly, visionless, but now awake;
ter to know, to face the issues
and greater tasks to undertake.
are is sorrow in my heart—and
are is love and hope, and fire
ding me speak of unrest, sectiling
still;
warming for the soul's desire!
The Story. So Far
Jack Contier, graduate of a lead Negro university, and student of history, is financed partially by a friend, and several universities, sails for Northern Nigeria; Af. Here he meets the Fringes, missionaries for many years in the nky of Yolo, one of the chiefs of that region, located on the her Binue. Contier tells them the act of his coming to Africa and is mised aid. Contier also meets his daughter, Anelo, who has studied two years, in the United States, has completed her studies in Madon. Later Contier meets Mama, chief of a powerful tribe. The chief chief含 a secret to Contier of an ancient buried city of a highly civilized race of which he a descendant. Mantua alone by secret trail and an aged code knows the exact region. Here much valuable information and many relics buried, together with a treasure diaries and gold. Contier is own by the village and meets the chief's son, powerfully and very intelligent, who is in with Anelo. The Fringes are ined to a great feast and in the midst the celebration Juba, lover of native girls, dances. Her love has spurned by Jamba since no timing of the Fringes girl. Contier pleased with the girl's dancing andent.
Contier and the Frinkes, accommodied by natives, approached Mana'a village. Not far distant, were numerous scattered huts, scarcely dismantleable, save where the glow of the heat fire touched them. The guests were late, so they hastened on to mere the final ceremony would be.
"This is what I have always wanted "see," Jack said to Angelo as they few nearer the scene.
"Yes, I too was curious when I first me to Africa a few years ago, nelo glanced up suddenly, then looked steadily at Contier, and continued: "Very strange indeed these customs, it seems to us. Nevertheless, has a great significance to them."
Jack thought of the moving pictures he had seen depicting life and customs of different tribes. Here he was witness actual festivities.
Mantuba greeted them and led them
verse the elders from which point
evil be to watch the dances.
The sky was pitch black. But the uge climbing, blaze cast its red icckering light far into the darkness, the air was warm. There were trees, ill, aged, and stunted; thickets and tanglements bordering the clearing
Before the crowd was assembled. Al-
kately, and then in unison, deep
thin the forest, the innumerable
voices of nature were heard.
And now the ceremony began anew.
the natives were intoxicated with
trange desires. Wild, weird cries,
and the festival progressed. Men,
women, and children were to dance.
There came the monotonous thump-
ing of the tom-toms. Dancers came
north adorned with beads and bells,
and a headdress that was not only
foreign to Contier, but peculiar,
young and old darted, bounded,
awayed, crouched close to the
ground.
They made way for the warriors who came into the circle with javelins and scintillating knives. Their faces bore distinctly the marks of the tribe. Such shouting, and crying, yelling, and chanting of tribal war-songs. Out from the shadows came Juba, loveliest of the native girls, to dance. She wore no headdress. Her hair was long and black, her features fine, her skin smooth and olive-colored. Her's was a suple body; her lines showed in every move her gracefulness and poise, displaying a symmetry of body uncommon to most of the native womanhood. There was sadness in her expression. She danced the dante of love. Jamba, the chief's son, and her former lover, had spurned her love since Anelo had returned to her parents.

"One Week of Flunk." This is the last week of the fall semester, and the bunch is on a hustle as it were. Examinations are coming thick and fast. Yet we hear no groans as yet from any of our group. Fact is, very good records are being looked forward to. (pardon grammar.

SAPOLOGY
By Kenneth Wallace.
Knights of the B. V. D's trim toenails for the pork Handicap which is to be run in Jerusalem.
Coach Aye P. Freely says that the more ivory above the ears the better athlete for the Alma Mater. Some men on my team so dumb that they think that all teddy bears belong in the zoo.
It is rumored around that a certain athlete at S. B. C. C. was unable to find a pair of spikes large enough. Coach Trotter was in a mell of hess, but the government fixed things up by lending them the loan of a couple of baby tanks. The athlete is goose-stepping around the track quite nicely. He says the blame things pinch a little.
There ain't but three Shaws in the world. George Bernard Shaw, O. Pisaw, and Ed. Shaw.
In Spark Plug Jefferson Hi has one of the fastest men on record. We haven't been able to finish a big Ben that would stop between nicks quite enough to time him. They say that he runs around the telephone so fast that he spikes himself in the back Kinja hard on the spikes. At all, of the local institutions of nursing they are having what they call after-class meats. These little tracies are called meats because so many hams participate. The ginks with the enlongated proboscis are given first choice. Many a race has been won by a nose. Those noses are divided into two classes: red noses and blue noses. The red noses are being more valuable because they usually carry the necessary works on the hip for brewing good rub down liniment and tonsil washers.
Thereby proving conclusively hybred alleyeet exposed to a few doses of psychology, military drill, and African golf, may assume the strut, grace, and languid superior of a pedigree Persian; but as old Bill Shake says, "Thy borrowed tailor-made clothes don't cleave to thy mold as thy homespun do." Question Department. Question—Why do athletes rub down and never up? I pass.

Vocational Guidance, the Avenue to Self-Realization.
"If a young man chooses his vocation so that his best abilities and enthusiasm will be united with his daily work, he has laid the foundation of success and happiness. But if his occupation is merely a means of making a living, and the work he loves to do is side tracked into the evening hours or pushed out of his life altogether, he will be only a fraction of the man he ought to be."—Professor Patons.
This is the quotation found on the cover of a set of questions being used in the "Find Yourself Campaign." by various branches of the local Young Men's Christian Association.
Blanks are used, and there are many plus questions to be answered by the one who is charted. The examination covers three sections, namely, Personal History, Personal Characteristics, and Ambitions and Interests. This charting is done with the high school student and employed young men. However, boys and men in all walks of life may profit by these tests. If we can make them think of their present conditions, mentally, physically, spiritually, and of the possibilities of the future, then we are sure that steps toward the proper goal will be taken immediately.
Following are some of the questions under Personal History intended for employed men not attending school:
1. What is your present work?
2. Like it or dislike it? And why?
3. How did you happen to quit school?
At what grade did you finish?
4. How many years atwork? 5. What was the weekly wage of your first job?
6. What do you get per week now?
7. How many different jobs have you had since leaving school?
8. Do you attend either night school or part time day school? 9. Do you do any kind of studying now? Such as General Reading, Vocational or self-help reading, Public night school, Private night school, Y. M. C. A. night school, Correspondence corse.
10. Do you have any system of saving? Bank account, Insurance, investment? 11. Lost how much time recently from ill-health? 12. Do you

LIFE'S CONSTITUENTS
Who is worthy to philosophize upon life?
When the chaotic mass began to shape itself into a logical formation, some divine plan undoubtedly figured and devied certain creatures springing from this mass, living, doing, and returning to this mass.
In his exposition, was possibly at first devoid of the natural protection peculiar to the lower animals. He had to fiction for himself weapons, clothes and other means for protection from them, the eluces, and from as fellow man. Out of these necessities grew his ideal and thoughts for dealing with his companions by means other than tater-
As the evolution and population continued toward a higher point and the idea of "Socius" began to develop more than the idea of "Ego", the group began to form. This group found strength in mutuality, gregariousness, and ligion. Each individual grew stronger a couple of these traits and various and many laws began to assert themselves, although unwritten. These laws, a product of adjustment, have grown in volume, purpose, complexity, and function, until today some are written and some are unwritten. As habit is the great underlying principle of adjustment, all law and all order find strength in the habit of recognising obedience.
To return to the subject, we again say that life is too complex to be encircled by bounds, to simple to be dealt with lengthily; complex because the group has so much to do, to see to, and accomplish, complex because of the very chemical composition itself of human life, complex because of the so many mental activities of man, complex because of the history of life, with its wars, hates, loves, and emotions of all types, and complex because its complexities as unlimited. It is simple because our whole scheme of life can be determined by fixing ideals upon the individual which will guide him in his scope and cycle as a member of a group, make of him a best type of individual, with dignity, honor, and trust, and fit him for whatever of life there is to come. Of these ideals there are three most important.
The first is "Obedience to Law." The animal instinct of race preservation was the foundational natural law, which manifested itself in the first and highest type of group organization, the family. As all our laws have come from two fundamental animal instincts of which race preservation is one, we can see that the obedience or law is really an adherence to animal instinct no matter what the law, so long as it is of logical sequence, however complex or round-about. The family found strength in its unity, banded together with other families into a social group, and, through experience, made the laws which were to guide the destiny of and effect a higher order. Through this experience, which was a product of environment, and the importance of which is almost inexplainable, have the laws of the present come.
We live under a governmental system, although this government is far fro mbeing perfect, far from being all that has been said of it, it seems to rest upon certain ideals; and these ideals can only reach their material existence through the recognition of Government.
Government presupposes Law and Obedience. As Law of which we speak is the product of society's experience, and experience is the greatest of teachers, and this teaching has been for the most beneficial existence of society and the individual, and the individual the fundamental form of life, Law must be obeyed for life to be, for society to be, and for Govern- (To be continued in Next Issue)

HEALTH TALKS: SUFFICIENT SLEEP IS A PREREQUISITE OF HEALTH.
By Wilalyn Stovall
Everyone is acquainted with the physical education which we shall discuss in this column. However, a review of the fundamental requisites of good health will serve as a gentle reminder.
Regarding the subject of rest in its relation to mankind, we are reminded that God ordained tahm man should gain a livelihood by the sweat of his brow as a punishment for his, disobedience. But it pleased Him in His benevolence to permit man's fatigue and temporary exhaustion to be followed by rest and repose by sleep; an immediate reward for his labor. Before the coming of modern civilization, everyone in reality lived by the sweat of his brow. In this day when a goodly number of men use their energy to direct industry, the laws of health remain unchanged. The mind needs rest as well as the body.
Why do we need rest. Why can we not go from day to day without sleeping and not feel the effects? Each day as we are working or using energy, the tissues of the body are being torn down. Proper sleep and proper foods are natures method of repairing these tissues. But too much sleep will tend to make one drowsy. So each one must find out for himself just how much rest it requires to enable him to do the work he is engaged in.
A child during the first few years of growth must have more rest than a grown person, because, beside, repairing the old tissue he must build up new tissue in order to grow. From ten to twelve hours is the number of hours a child should sleep. As he grows older, parents observe that only nine hours of rest will prevent that nervous restless disposition which children often have when they do not have sufficient sleep.
When the high school age is reached, sometimes, long assignments in school work make it impossible to obtain more than seven hours sleep. Almost every college course requires several hours a day outside preparation. Often during this period the body and mind must function throughout the day with only four, five or six hours of rest. That is one disadvantage of entering college at an early age. The body in many cases has not been built up to withstand such mistreatment. The result ultimately is a nervous breakdown in after life. The athlete of the high school age will find himself well prepared physically to enter college, but the bookworm sometimes must loose time on account of his health. After this period of mental growth, when the responsibilities of manhood are assumed, most people find that about eight hours of rest is sufficient.
IN THE MUSIC WORLD
By John A. Gray.
Roland Hayes, the tenor is paying a flying visit to the States and will give his only American rectal in Symphony Hall, Boston, sometime this month. He left America April 23, 1920. During his sojourn abroad Mr. Hayes gave fifteen concerts in London and several in Paris. He sang with the Colonne Orchestra in Paris, Gabriel Pierne, conductor. He returns to Paris early in February for a return engagement with the Orchestra. Next fall he intends making a concert tour of America.

A recent issue of Musical America contains three columns of information about Negro music and musicians. The article is a brief survey of the activities of the National Association of Negro musicians, performers, teachers, composers, and schools. This magazine devotes more space yearly to our music and musicians than any other publication of its kind and should be read by every member of the profession.
E. A. Jackson, a young Negro organist, after passing an examination, held at Columbia University, with an average standing of ninety per cent, has been admitted to membership in the National Guild of Organists. He is the second Negro to be admitted to membership in this organization, the other being Melville Charlton. Mr. Jackson has made a specialty of the organ and is the leader of the choir of St. Marks Methodist Episcopal Church in New York, the largest Negro choir in the country. He is a graduate of one of the leading conservatories of New York.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES
Blanks of the "Find Yourself" Campaign have been returned, as we complete our work of aiding our high school students in selecting their life callings. All the branches of the Y. M. C. A. in the city are conducting the same work with success.
The Out-in-the-World club met on Wednesday night. Important plans for the future were outlined. The club is seeking a larger attendance and membership so that the scope of the work it intends to do will be greater and more effective. Book reviews, current events, live discussions, lectures, and many other features will help to make the future meetings more interesting and helpful.
Ninth Street Branch was very instrumental in aiding Mr. Gilpin in his latest play, "The Emperor Jones" at the Mason. A number of college fellows helped to support the cast. Two young Colored men are with the company in the persons of Shields and Pryor, students at N. Y. University and Howard University, Washington, D. C. They are stopping at the home of the Boy's Work Secretary. Don't forget the regular Sunday Afternoon Men's meeting at the Y. at 3:00 o'clock. Come and enjoy the addresses and discussions.

ESSEN. Jan. 25—(Crusader Service)
Two battalins of colored troops
(supposedly Moroccan) are in the
first detachment of French troops ar-
iting here. The troops began moving
about 5 o'clock this morning and at
10 o'clock the Ist Cavdiry entered
the town. i
‘The vanguard of the invading force
was followed by five more columns of
cavalry, two battalions of light ar-
tillery and twelve tanks. The French
placed machine guns at the corners
and sent out patrols.
At noon Gen. Henry, Commander of
the Ruhr, took up his headquarters
in the Hotel Kaiserhof, and half an
hour later the military officials visited
the city officials and officially informed
them of the occupation of the city.
‘The French requested billets for 10,
000 troops.
‘The French nation in invading Ger-
mauy to enforce payment of repara:
tion indemnitiea is considered here
as inviting another world war, and
brings up again the question of
French use of Africa as a military
reservoir from which to conscript a
Pretorian Guard that will not only
be used against France's external
foes on the continent of Europe but
against the French workers as well
should there be any inclination on
their part to challenge the exploiting
powers of the bourgeoisie.
Both America nad Great Britian,
their rulers more interested in the
smell of ofl in the Near East than ir
France’s efforts to collect reparatior
indemnities, are opposing the Freict
‘invasion. America has shown het
disapproval by ordering the withdraw
al of her force on the Rhine—a be
‘lated and wholly ineffective gesture
so far as the French authorities ar
concerned. Great Britain is acting
‘more diplomatically. Desiring Frenct
support in her schemes against the
Turkish smd Russian peoples, Eng
land, while officiglly opposed to the
French action, is nevertheless giving
t her tacit consent and cooperation

U. 8. TO PROBE SLAYING OF EA
SON, GARVEY WITNESS
Sovernment to investigate Report
Murder of Minister Was Directed
From New York. Dead Man's
Character Attacked. .Garvey Paper
Tries to Give Impression He Was
Shot In Fray Over Woman—A Typ-
leal U.N. 1. A. Trick.
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—(Crusader
Service) Stirred by the cold-blooded
murder of Rey.J. H. Eason, one of the
ex-leaders of the Universal Negro Im-
Provement Assdtiation and the most
important witness the government
had in its case against Marcus Garvey
and other officials of the defunct
Black Star Line, Inc., agents of the
Department of Justice have begun an
surrounding his assassination in Now
investigation into the circumstances
Orleans on New Year's Day as he was
about to depart for New York to tes-
tity at the trial of Garvey.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney Maxwell S. Mattuck, who
will prosecute Garvey for his alleged
fraudulent promotion schemes, Eason
was to have been one of the principal
witnesses at the trial.
The former U. N. I. A. leader was
shot as he left a church, where he had
bitterly denounced Garvey and: his
many failures. As he emerged two
fanatics met him and emptied the
contents of revolvers into his body.
The victim died on the Thursday
night followirig in a New Orleans hos-
pital. His death ‘has roused a wave
of horror and resentment throughout
the land and has been interpreted in
many neutral quarters as definitely
sounding the knell of the already bad-
ly battered organization.
The New Orleans police placed un-
der arrest in connection with the
shooting. two painters, who described
themselves as William Shakespeare
and Fred Dyer. Both had cards in
their possession, showing that they
were members fo the Universal. Ne-
gro Improvement Association of
which Garvey is president.
Prosecutor Mattuck said today that
reports had come to him indicating
an effort on the part of certain peo-
ple to scare Government witnesses by
broad hints to deal out to others the
same medicine handed out to Dr. Ea-
son.
The trial of Garvey and his associ.
ate officers of the Black Star Line
has been set for, the first Monday in
February. It is alleged that $1,000
000 of the stock in this steamship
line, of which Garvey was president,
was sold to credulous persons on
facts that warranted the charges of
fraud, such, for instance, as adver
tisement and sale of passages on the
ghost ship “Phyllis Wheatley.” © The
other defendants besides Marcus are
Orlando M. Thompson, vice-president;
Elie Garcia, secretary, and George To
Dias, treasurer.
‘When the stock was being floated
Eason, the dead man, who at tha
time held the title of “American
Leader,” was one of the most effect
ive agents of Garvey in the appeal for
subscriptions. He is said to have a

ENGLAND GRABS AT STRAW OF ANOTHER SERVILE RACE LEADER
Hails With Joy Announcement From America that a Successor to Booker Washington Is Found.
er Washington is found.
LONDON... Jan.25.—(Crusader. Service) The announcement from the United States of the discovery of another Booker T. Washington in the person of James Emman Kwegyir, Aggrey, an African-born Negro, who is now a candidate for his Ph. D. at Columbia University, has been received here with frank interest in the prospects of usurping the present dominant radical New Negro with a leader of the old type and school. British imperialists in particular, received the announcement with undisguised pleasure, while even the Liberals reacted favorably to the prospects of outing the present radical leadership of the Negro people in the United States. Typical of the comment of the press is the following excerpt from an editorial in the "Manchester Guardian:"
"Like Dr. Moten, who was recently in England, Mr. Aggrey is opposed to the African Liberation movement which has been advocated by radical Negroes in the United States and has inspired many colored men throughout the world with the ambition to bring to an end European domination of the Dark Continent. Mr. Aggrey has long occupied the pulpit of the colored church near Salisbury. Many Negroes aspire to the position of influence that Booker T. Washington held in America's "Black World" of nearly twelve million persons, but most of them are working on lines entirely opposed to the doctrines of the greatest figure which has yet emerged from the ranks of the colored men in America. Aggrey, however, is working along lines laid down by Booker T. Washington—that is to fit the Negro into a proper niche in the agricultural and industrial spheres."
Putting the Negro in his place to be as much a concern among anglo-saxons in the British Isles as among the pure anglo-saxon population of the most rabid Southern States. Picking leaders for the Negro peoples of the world is the special concern of all this ilk who thus hope to divert into channels less menacing to their beautiful system of world domination the increasing political activity of Negroes throughout the world. It appears a dream doomed to failure. The Negroes of America, no more than the Negroes of the rest of the world, are inclined toward acceptance of servile leadership if one is to judge by the reports emanating from America.
BRITISH AIRPLANES BOMBING
MOBUL VILLAAGES
English Huna Attack Defenceless Communities From Air—Many Women and Children Injured.
men and Children injured.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 25—Report from the Mosul districts say that British airplanes are actively bombing villages in the neighborhood of Mosul, especially Rewanduz, Rayna, Massores, Mourbelt, and Namesv. Four of the planes were brought down by embattled villagers wrathful at the casualties caused among the women and children and the damages to their homes.
In the meantime, the revolutionary movement in Mosul itself continues to spread and the British garrisons are menaced in several towns.
BRUTAL BRITISH BOMB WAZIR
VILLAGES
BOMBAY, Jan. 25.—(Crusader Service) The villagers of Waziristan have a memorable Christmas. During Christmas week airplanes of one of the leading Christian Powers of the world. Great Britian, dropped
sixty and a half tons of bombs upon a over a score of unfortified villages. British reports of the Christian act stated that the villagers were "generally surprised and "the damage done was considerable." The use of aeroplanes for "pacification," tax-collection, and the like is steadily growing as a set policy of the "Brutal" Empire, which plans soon to camouflage itself under the high-sounding title of Commonwealth of Nations." The bombing "plane is much cheaper than a political mission backed by soldiers. It is also much more appallingly indiscriminate in its operations. It exacts a sickenning price in non-combatant, especially women and children, lives.
RUSSIA WARNS MASSES RUHR
ENTRY, MEANS WAR
Soviet Government Tells World's Cannon-Fodder French Action Spells Bloodshed.
MOSCOW, Jan. 25.—(Crusader Service) Russia's first official pronouncement on the occupation of the Ruhr by the French was made by the Alla Russian Central Executive Committee to-night addressed to "all the peoples of the world."
It sharply protests against the action of France and calls attention to the threat of war which such action involves. Declaring the army of imperialist France has invaded the industrial heart of Germany, the statement declares: "In this critical moment labor and peasant Russia cannot remain silent."
Russia charges that France has gone even beyond "shameful Versailles," and that England, Italy and Japan, by washing their hands, or only feebly protesting, are equally guilty of breaking the sovereignty of the German people and trampling upon their rights of self-determination.
"Terrible poverty and suffering threaten the laboring classes in Germany," it concludes. "All Europe is threatened with growing economic disorder. Russia warns the peoples of the world of the terrible danger that menaces peace. Your fate is in your hands."
TESTIFIES K LAN SHERIFF
WINKED AT KIDNAPPINGS
High Cyclops and Other Officials Accused of Instituting Reign of Terror. Law Set at Naught. .Klan American White Guards, With Members in High Places and Backing of Capitalists. Able to Operate with Impunity. (Crusader Service) BASTROP, La., Jan.25.-Slowly but surely the members of the hooded gang who kidnapped and butchered Watt F. Daniel and Thomas Frederick Richards, both white, after subjecting them to torture almost as fandish as that which the white South has visited upon hundreds of hopeless Negro men and women in the past fifty years are being unmasked and brought into the open so plainly that Governor Parker, who in spite of overwhelming opposition forced an investigation of the Klan, feels confident that even the tremendous power of the Ku Kluxers cannot prevent them from being indicted.
To-day's session of the open hearing, designed to force the Grand Jury to return indictments because of the overpowering character of the State's case, closed with the most startling testimony of the day. It was wrong from a witness frightened and determined to evade compromising any one, if possible, and it fell like a thunderbolt in the crowded court room. Just as Court was about to adjourn for the day, Senator Howard Warren, Special Assistant Attorney General, drew from Harry Neelis, a garage em-
employee, who admitted he had been warned not to talk and that he was leaving, the community to escape trouble, that Richards was kidnapped the first time from the garage where he was employed while Sheriff Fred Carpenter, Klabee of the Morehouse Parish Klan, under oath to uphold law and order, looked on without raising a hand to prevent the outrage. Carpenter sat within three feet of the witness. His face never changed expression save for a sickly smile that played about the corners of his lips. Carpenter was not the only Klansman whose name was brought out vividly in the testimony of the day. J. K. Skipwith, Exalted Cyclops of the Morehouse Klan, was involved by practically every witness who testified.
State of Terror Followed Klan.
Two points stood out vividly in the testimony of Mayor Dade to-day. The first was the state of terror in which the parish has been reduced by the depredations of the hooded 100 per cent vigilantes; a state, according to the mayor of Mer Rouge, that did not exist until the advent of the Ku Klux Klan into the community.
The second was the desperate struggle which the prosecution will have to establish convictions regardless of the overwhelming character of the evidence at its command.
The ramifications of the Klan were brought out indirectly by the questioning of one of the Klansmen who was asked point blank if all of the village and parish officials of Bastrop were not members of the hooded order. He would not answer in the affirmative, but the State has evidence that the Klansmen made a clean sweep of officialdom, practically, when they organized here.
Mayor Dade, who admitted having been a member of the Klan two months but who left at the end of that time because he did not believe in what it stands for, drew a picture of Mer Rouge as a peaceful, contented village that was safe to live in and upon the hands of whose residents there was no man's blood. Then came the Klan, chaos and terror in its wake. In a dramatic voice, he exclaimed: "Oh, that is what the Ku Klux Klan has done for us! God. I'll do anything to try to restore peace and bring the contentment we used to have here."
THE ALLENSWORTH CLUB
To say my visit with The Allensworth Club was a treat and pleasant surprise is expressing it mildly. The Club is composed of race women representing every Baptist Church in the city. They held their annual reception and installation Wednesday, Jan. 17th, at the home of Mrs. Reid 1410 E. 12 Street.
The passing of Mrs. Kelso, and the installation of Mrs. Ida Ramsey as President was very impressive with remarks by Rev. T. J. Griffith, Mrs. Jennie Williams and Sunshine Miller. I found a wonderful body of Christ-
