GOV'T. ORDERS WIVES LEFT IN ISLAND We arrived in Helena, Montana at 9:45 p.m. and were met at the depot by our good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Johnson whom we had wred as to the time of our arrival and with a Limousine in waiting were whisked to their cozy home where we were domiciled during our 48 hours stay in the Montana Capital. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson indeed made our stay a pleasant one and the sincerity of this greeting will ever remain a pleasant memory. They are among the leading citizenry of this fair city. Mr. Johnson sI an employee of the city, while Mrs. Johnson is prominent in the Woman's Club circles of the Northwest and a staunch church worker. They were soon reinforced with that genial good fellow and all around high class citizen, Mr. J. E. W. Clarke, pioneer resident of Pasadena during his sojourn there two years ago and his contributions from time to time to this journal. Only a few weeks ago, Mr. Clarke had the misfortune to lose his wife who had for 32 years been his help mate and was loved by all who knew her for her high character and services to this community and not alone to Mr. Clarke did sorrow come at her passing but to the entire great Northwest. However Mr. Clarke joined in with unintended zeal and enthusiasm to make our stay one long to be remembered. Was A Home Coming. The writer had lived in Helena many years. We had labored here, we had joined in wit Everything that stood for progress, and we were touched indeed at the appreciation which was made manifest by a practice demonstration of real and sincere friendship. For as soon as the word was flashed around the little town the telephone began to ring and the people would call and pay their respects. It was Sunday and of course we worshipped at the same old St. James Church, the people were out in large numbers, they had come to hear the annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias. We were presented and were forced to interrupt the service by a short talk in which we greeted our former township. Big Reception Monday Evening. The people headed by Mr. Clarke and Rev. Allen the talented and versatile pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church hastily arranged a public reception for Monday evening at which a most splendid program was rendered, consisting of song, music and speech. Allen delivered a most inspiring address of welcome. Miss Ella Anderson, the nightengale of the great Northwest sang a solo and was compelled to respond to an encore Mrs. Clara Howard Langley played a piano solo. Mrs. George M. Lee spoke on behalf of the Woman's Federated Club and Mrs. Judge Hard on half of the Pleasant Home Club and presented the guest of Honor with the Club's Program and a beautiful picture of the Federated Club. Mr. J. E. W. Clarke rejected his own composition on Central Avenue and Mr. Callahan. Clarke introduced the guest of honor Mr. J. E. H. Bass, who for quite a long time had the divided at home in an address which seemed to inspire as well as to enthuse his heart. The evening, was a great tribute to the editor and indeed demonstrated the high esteem in which he is held by the people to the capital city of Montana. Visits Old Acquaintances The next day it was our pleasure to visit quite a few of the business men and officials of the city, all of whom greeted us warmly. We paid a visit to the post office of the capital presided over by Mr. Henry Baker, who is the only postmaster of our group in the West, with a salary attached. After chatting over old times with the postmaster we paid our respects to the Governor of Montana, the Hon. Jos. M. Dixon, who greeted an elite warmly and although it had been more than a decade since he saw us, he readily recognized us and filled our name and did not have to be informed by our escort J. E. W. Clarke, as to the same. Governor Dixon is here, hearty and well met. A native of North Carolina, but a Republican from his home and one of his first acts after his education at the office of Governor was the point Mr. Haker as Postmaster for the capitol building. He talked with us of things generally and asked as about the Ron, Hugh E. Macbeth of Los Angeles and paid to him a high tribute. As one of the greatest men whom he had ever met. It will be remembered that Gov. Dixon was the National Chairman of the great Roosevelt Campaign in 1912 and in that capacity met and became intimately acquainted with the prowess of Mr. Macbeth. Time passed swiftly and our departure from Helena was at hand and WIVES STAY IN ISLANDS AS CAV ALRYMEN COME HOME. Special Wireless to The Bulletin and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923, by The Bulletin. MANILA, April 6.—The departure homeward today aboard the army transport Thomas of fourteen enlisted men of the Ninth Cavalry discloses an almost unparalleled exhibition of govern- mental heartlessness toward fami- les of married soldiers. Of the fourteen enlisted men leaving on the Thomas, six will abandon Filipino wives, two others who will be discharged from the army are paying $125 out of their savings for govern- mental transport and railroad charges for each member of the families, which includes the six who pres- ent their families intact through funds advanced to them by the Red Cross and for the repayment of which they have pledged their army pay for many months to come. SIX TO BE DESERTED. The six wives who will be deserted added to those previously abandoned by American soldiers ordered home, will make more than a hundred homes that have been wrecked as a result of the government's penurious policy in the treatment of the families of enlisted men. Seventeen former members of the Ninth Cavalry, all the fathers of families, now are in the Philippines, forced to remain here because they were unable to raise transport passage fares for the wives and children. After more than thirty five years of honorable service as a unit of American fighting forces, the famous Ninth Cavalry, a Colored regiment, also has been practically wiped out by the brief army order issued last summer, which is a move in the present army administration's policy of "Philipoizing" the American army in the islands. HEARTHLESS POLICY. That the War Department has not realised the suffering which its unexpected orders have entailed on the Ninth Cavalry, which has been stationed in the Philippines for many years, is shown by an investigation made by Brigadier-General Johnson Hargood, commanding Camp Stotsenburg. Out of 800 enlisted men in the regiment, a total of 277 had either legal or common law wives in the Philippines, while more than 100 are the fathers of children. In contrast with the American policy, of free transportation for the French and German wives and children of the men, the government offered these Colonel veterans the alternative of either deserving their wives and offspring host or transporting to their new posts their own expense. The cavalryman's pay is $20 a month. CHILDREN SUFFER. Above, a hundred of those who were married abandoned their wives. Of the others, a majority mortgaged their future army pay to take tikel r help meeps and families along. Brigadier-General Hargood refusing to permit the abandonment of the children, whether legitimate or born from common-law marriages. Filipinos intensely dislike the Negro "mestizos," usually enslaving them when they are abandoned. In order to prevent such bondage the Red Cross agreed to advance the children railroad fare from San Francisco to Fort Riley and Fort Huachua and the transport fare of $40 a head from Manila to San Francisco, which the government insisted upon collecting. One Ninth Cavalry sergeant, who is still here, has been married to a Filipino woman for twenty-two years, and the couple have seven children, the oldest of which is 16 years. Another cavalryman, who reemlisted while on leave in the United States for the purpose of rejoining his wife in the Philippines, was ordered to Fort Riley for duty a few days after his return. NEAR RETIREMENT. NEAR RETINEMENT. This man has been in the service for twenty-nine years and needs only one more year of service to retire on a pension.

We boarded the Northern Pacific to Billing, and there took the C. R. the Q. for danger at which place we arrived on Thursday morning at 10:30. A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA APRIL 14, 1923 bers who had children born of common-law marriages had legal marriage ceremonies performed in order to comply with the immigration laws when they took their families home with them. Although the government might be unable to afford the expense of transporting the families of its transferred soldiers to the United States, local agencies assert that the War Department's home-wrecking policy could have been easily avoided by permitting married men to remain in the islands until their enlistment terms expired.—From the San Francisco Bulletin, April 6. Constitutional Amendment to Abolish Decrees Urged by Justice Morrchausen. (Cruader Service) Speaking of chicagro among lawyers in divorce cases the justice said, "I have not seen much of that. As far as I know there has not been a single collative case in my court. The collusive divorce practically does not print. There is no doubt, a certain amount of perjury in the proceeding in which the defendant left anything else will sometimes purge themselves recklessly in divorce cases.

Martin discussed what he called "The Insufficiency of the Ethics of Jesus." "As a moral teacher," he said, Jesus confined himself to the ethics of his social life, for the excellent reason that in Judean in his day personal ethics was the paramount issue. Social and international ethics, therefore, were none of his concerns, and the fact explains why the world still drifting on such issues as the spiritual significance of marriage and the ethics of divorce. "It is safe to say that if the scope of Jesus' teaching had included these problems, our civilization would be further ahead than it is. For moral until spiritual clairvoyance Jesus had a distinct and exalted genius second to none."

SOUTHERN BARBARIANS FORCE TO YIELD TO PUBLIC SENTI- MENT AGAINST CRIME Seeks Arrest of Able-Bodied Men to Turn Them Over to Contractors for 90 Days Paid $20 for Each Victim be Corrals (Crusader Service) Langdon, N. D., April 11. +Public indignation brought about the formal demand by the formal demand by the State of North Dakota that the State of Florida average the death of Martin Tabert, the farm boy who died in a courier camp, was whipped with a seven and one-half pound strap for complaining that the shoes furnished him were too small. Wielder of Whip Arrested T. W. Higginsbotham, the Warden who whipped Tabert, has been arrested. Gov. Cary Hardee of Florida has announced his intention of bringing before the Legislature at the session which opens next week the question of doting away with the whole system of "poeage" that claimed Tabert as its victim. State's Attorney Gudmunder Grimson of Cavalier County was sent to Florida to investigate and check up on the various letters. Mr. Grimson returned to Landon with a mass of letters, andwrites, etc., all of which went to show that the worst claims made in the letters written were but the beat that could be said about the matter. Sheriff a slave Catcher He found, he says, that Sheriff Jones of Tallahassee was little better than a slave catcher, who had arranged with the Putnam Lumber Company for payment of $20 side money for all able men he could pick up and get delivered to their camp in the swamps to work for ninety days. He could not find any person who positively knew of the location of the grave of Tabert or one who positively knew that he was given a burial more decent than that of a dog. He found that the Putnam Lumber Company was an $80,000 corporation who provided largely by the labor of undocumented men, picked up and forced into their custody through trivial violations of the laws of the State of Florida. Convinced of Terture The resolution, after reciting the facts of Tabert's imprisonment, the sending of the money and it return, his death and the investigation, declares that the Legislature is "convinced that said Tabert died as the direct and proximate result of physical abuse and torture inflicted upon him by the said Putnam Lumber Company and its employees, and more particularly by one T. W., Higginbotham and it si further believed, "That such abuse occurred after the money intended for the payment of said fine had come into the hands of Sheriff and should have been devoted to the purpose of releasing said Tabert, and that said Sheriff by convivance and conspiracy with the lumber company purposely refrained from either forwarding said money to Tabert or communicating to the senders thereof the facts as to his then custody or whereabouts, and that he purposely so indorsed said letter and caused it to be returned to the senders, to lead them to believe that he had been released from custody and prevent them from obtaining his release; and it is further believed. "That a corrupt understanding and agreement existed between said Sheriff and said lumber company to the effect that the Sheriff should endeavor to obtain the arrest and conviction of men for pretended or petty offenses, to the end that when convicted they might be leased to said lumber company, and that for each convict so obtained from the custody of said Sheriff he should receive a cash compensation, and that said Tabert was a victim of such conspiracy. "Be it further resolved, by the Senate of the State of North Dakota, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Florida is hereby memorialized and requested by the Legislature of the Commonwealth of North Dakota, to cause a full investigation to be made of the circumstances surrounding the application, beasing and death of said Martin, to cause such action to be taken as will most surely and expeditiously lead to the punishment of all parties concerned therein." BRITISH NON-PLUSSED BY WHITE NEGRO A peculiarity in One Soudanese Family to Give Birth to White Skinned Children London, April 9.—The principal medical officer of the Egyptian Government Hospital, at Port Said, writing to The Lancet, reports the admission to the hospital of an albino Negro, aged 25, with a perfectly white skin of curious shade and texture, brown eyes and faxen hair. His father and mother were typical black children, and his mother was black, another son, both now dead, who were also white. (Crusader Service) New York, April 13—Marcus Garvey was in the toils of the law again last week, when the self-styled "Provisional President of Africa" was arrested by Federal agents on the charge of attempting to evade his income tax in these United States. Garvey was soon after released on bail, but the wags, noticing his frequent, nay, almost daily incursion into court, are spreading the tale that Garvey is trying to pick up a course in law without paying a tuition fee. Of course, the price is high, but then 'tis the sucker membership that payt GEORGETOWN, R. G. April 10. While Georgetown was excited over the rumored find of large diamond fields, diamond seekers in the interior were just recovering from their results of the celebration of the occasion. It was on February 15th that Caleh Headling, a well known diamond seeker of Plaisance picked up a stone weighing 48 1-8 carets in his 'tom' while searching for diamonds in his claim at Eping. He made no secret of his discovery and it therefore did not take long for the news to spread over the district. Soon after a certain area of the diamond fields was transformed into a merry maker's field. Guns were fired throughout the district in celebration of the occasion and men drank freely and danced. It was a big-time in diamond land, for the men did themselves well, little knowing that a sensation was in store B. G. LABOR UNION WILL REORGANIZE GEORGETOWN, B. G. April 12.—A conference was held yesterday morning by some workers in Georgetown of whom Mr. Hubert Criclowt, secretary-treasurer of the Labor Nation, was one. Matters in connection with the future of the union were discussed and it was decided to allow the property to go to execution, the money collected between Thursday and yesterday to be deposited in the name of the Unloh. The property is owned by Messrs. Criclowt, W. Hosannah, and Dr. T. N. Nicholls. It is understood that is was decided that one of those who took part at the conference should purchase the property for the composite body known as the B. G. Labor Union. Eforts will thereafter be made to reorganize the Union, bringing in all the sections including the clerks. "Mo or Buses" Failures In Other Big Cities. "After a seventeen months' trial, during which motor busses operated on lines parallel to the street car system, the citizens of Des Moines, Iowa, by a vote of two to one, eliminated the busses from their transportation scheme. The busses proved to be dangerous as well as unsatisfactory, and their only practical use is for 'feeder' lines and for limited emergency, purposes." This was the reply received by the Los Angeles Traffic Betterment Association, in answer to a query to Mayor C. M. Garver of Iowa City in regard to busses and street cars, and the results of dual service. At one time Des Moines transportation facilities were decidedly unsatisfactory, and the busses were installed in the hope of betterting them. Alex. Pitzhugh, secretary of the Des Moines chamber of Commerce, allowed the local organization and declared that car service was slowed up fully ten per cent by the busses stopping alongside street cars in the crowded areas of the city. Neither service was able to give its greatest efficiency while in competition, he declared, and both organizations lost money for their stockholders. Replies to the Questionnaire sent out by the Traffic Betterment Association have been received from the Des Moines, Spokane, Wash., Kansas City, Mo. New York City, Baltimore, Newark, N. J., and several other cities in which the dual service had been tried. Reports were also received from the officials of the Investment Bankers Association of America. In nearly every instance, according to William C. Washington of the Traffic Betterment Association, the buses have proved entirely unsatisfactory in the capacity "opened" in the main information cases. The reports generally the asserts, prove that the buses do not belong in the congested areas of large cities, and that wherever they have been tried and the question left to a vote of the people, they have been eliminated. Spokane, Des Moines, Saginaw, Mich., Bridgesport, Conn., and Baltimore are among the cities cited which have eliminated buses from competition on crowded street car lines. In Baltimore the Public Service Commission of Maryland has ordered that the street car lines provide better service wherever a streetcar is needed. In every instance the buses have been kept off the streets. The interurban buses are allowed to enter the outskirts of the city, and there connect with street car lines. Kansas City, according to the report of John A. Prescott, president of the Investment Bankers Association of America, has carefully studied the transportation problem, and has refused permits to bus lines where street cars already exist, and will grant franchises on other thoroughfares only after the majority of residents have given their consent. Thus far this has been refused in every case where it was sought. "We are receiving scores of replies from officials in cities that have tried out the hui in competition with street railways," said Chajman Warmington. These officials emphatically declare that the buses only add to the traffic on the streets, the people on street cars, and the buses have been voted out whenever the question was left to the people generally." Eastside Independent Club Launches Campaign. M. THE EASTSIDE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE LAUNCHES THE "FARMER-FOR-MAYOR" CAMPAIGN. In taking up the candidacy of Bert L. Farmer, the Eastside Independent League has not done so without good and sufficient reason. In all previous campaigns in which we have based our argument on the high ground of fairness and general advancement of the whole people. In promoting all candidates whom we have heretofore presented to our own group, we have done so believing in the sincerity and integrity of the man, together with his ability to fill the office. We are standing for the Hon. Bert L. Farmer, for Mayor of Los Angeles. Bert L. Farmer, a big, capable man with many years of experience in public affairs will go into the Mayor's office with his hands united. Under the recent city charter which must remain operative during the entire term of the next Mayor, no matter who he is. Mayor Farmer sees his way clear and open to advance the city of Los Angeles along proposed civic lines and at the same time conduct his high office in a sense of fairness and consideration toward all classes of our citizens. Unlike the present Mayor, Mr. Farmer sees much that he can do for the uplift of Los Angeles while the proposed new charter is framing. And in keeping with the big, generous spirit of the man, he pledges himself to all uplift movements which make for the betterment of the whole people. We are not setting ourselves aside as a separate and distinct part of the people of Los Angeles for which special laws must be made and favors granted. We simply ask that the cities and the laws under which the city is operated in such a way as to preserve the peace and safety of all. To that end and fairly believing in the man we have selected to support we ask all progressive citizens to help elect Bert L. Farmer for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Rev. Tilman, of Friendship Baptist Church, Pasadena, is now far on the road to health, after an illness that brought him more than once to death's door.

On last Thursday night the 29th, despite the many prominent affairs that were going on in the city Odd Fellows Hall at 5th and Wall was crowded to the doors with members and friends of the order who had been invited to spend the evening as guest of Golden Rule Lodge 5959. Golden Rule is in the midst of a huge membership drive and used this means to stimulate Odd Fellowism and bring in to its own and other subordinate Lodges worthy new tumbler. As a result of this effort at least 20 new members will be added to the Lodge. An excellent program was rendered and several notable speakers delivered eloquent addresses in a manner and fashion that thrilled their audience and brought forth rounds of applause. Brother Hall, N. G., of Los Angeles, spoke on Friendship and scored a big success in the clean cut manner in which he handled his subject. Brother A. D. Lacy of Sterling Light Lodge spoke on Love and drove home to his hearers its value and meaning both to society and the order. Brother Fisher, P. S. of Golden Rule Lodge and head of one of Los Angeles leading colored enterprises. The Peoples Grocery Store spoke at length on the subject, "Truth", in a convincing manner and every one thoroughly enjoyed his expressions. Musical numbers were rendered at intervals in between each speaker and all responded to encore. Griffin Brothers rendered two musical numbers. Brother Spencer of Golden Rule and Brother Lewis (Golden Rule Bert Williams) brought down the house. Brother E. L. Dorsey of Golden Rule and one of the owners of The Independent Rubber Co., held the large audience spell bound for 20 minutes. His subject was "Eighty Years of Odd Fellowism. In part he said: Mr. Master of Ceremonies, Fellow Brethren and perspectives: Were I a master of flowery English, could I speak in glowing accents, or had the Gods endowed me with silver-tongued oratory, perhaps what I am about to say would find some hold upon your vivid memory. Taking the canvass of friendship, using the brush of love and dipping it into the colors of truth, I would paint you an art master piece of this grand old order portraying its onward march from the issuing of its dispensation in 1943, when that immortal Peter Ogden believing that all men were created equal and free and that no fraternal organization or body of men could justify withhold such recognition, started, the Grand United Order of Old Fellows on its triumphant march down through the corridors of time. Putting to route in its procession of triumphal progress every assassin, of Negro character, every individual who dared to stem the onward rush of right, honor, and manhood, in an attempt to replace and put into practice malice hatred and greed. Befoging the minds of future generations. Eighty years have passed since the immortal Peter Ogden took the stand of right and who dares dispute the fact that Odd Fellowism has grown and spread it wings of progress and fraternal patriotism, extolled the principles of honor and loyalty to towards its fellow man, and protected the character and virtue of womanhood? Eighty years have passed since the mortal Peter Odgen sent out that memorable call for men to join the cause of right, not white men, not black men, but men, real men, and fellow brothers and perspectives the records of fraternal history tells us how well all men, lowers of liberty and fraternal freedom responded to that call, and fought, fought for that liberty, that freedom for which millions have died, which all men love and which in itself is life to each and all of us. Fathers have died fighting for the cause and their sons have carried on the battle year in, year out until today this grand old order stands at the top of fraternal efforts, and each soldier at attention. Eighty years have passed and the cry still is heard for men. Not just men but men of character, principle, honor, and loyalty. Men seeking the association of the best that they too may join the rank and file of this great and growing order and enter its training camps that when the time comes they may be prepared to take their respective places of usefulness and do their part in assisting to solve the great and growing problems of the day. Who dares dispute the fact that the grand old order of Odd Fellows has not during these past eighty years been a potential factor in forcing civilization to recognize manhood and womanhood matters not what the color? Today our order ranks second to none. Today thanks to the immortal Peter Ogden victory is ours and 12 million human belings, through whose viens flows the blood of civilization, are enjoying fraternal freedom. But we cannot afford to have gained this freedom to sit idly by. No nation, no race, no institution has ever maintained its standard unless prepared. And so the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows can best maintain its prestige, its popularity, its honor, its fraternal freedom by ever being prepared to defend its name against any and all who might seek to destroy it. Therefore I beseech each and every Odd Fellow to live an exemplary life and use your ever effort toward building up a larger, better and stronger organization, by inviting into the folds of Odd Fellowism worthy men. To the perspectives in this gathering here this evening I wish to say we need you, and the association you come in contact with here fits you for the better and nobler things in life. I challenge any of you to visit the If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--YOU May Never Know It Happened average large store or down town business not only here in Los Angeles but any where in the country today and you will find that the salesman, the banker, the clerk, the porter, the book keeper, the street sweeper are all common brothers together in some fraternal order, then why not we? Is it not a fact that we lack leadership as a race? Is it not a fact that dissension within our own ranks makes us in a measure slaves to economic condition? Let us get together. Odd Fellowism has a better platform than some would have you believe. Yesterday the slogan was to take care of the sick and bury the dead, and while we stand by these principles I want to tell you that our mission is a greater one, one that has a broader scope, and greater usefulness. Our mission is service to our fellowman. If amongst our people there is to be found an unworthy member, as in other organizations, here and there, as is occasionally the case, I assure that person was such before entering the folds for no individual coming into our order with a clean record can dare say that his association with this order has not made him a better man. No order has done more for the rank and file of humanity than the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Unlike Klu Kluxism that has been disrupting conditions in this country today, teaching race hatred and practicing persecutions, seeking to tear down the walls of civilization, committing murder and crime. I say unlike this damnable organization Odd Fellowism stands for all that is honorable and upright. In brief Odd Fellowism stands for all Klu Kluxism would tear down and destroy. Fellow perspectives do you wish to help Americanize America and make it safe for humanity to live in? Join the Odd Fellows. Do you seek the association of an order that is accomplishing something? Join the Odd Fellows. Join the Odd Fellows. Do you desire to become a better citizen? Join the Ddd Fellows. Do you wish to become a better husband and a better father? Join the Odd Fellows. Do you seek the be a better Christian? Join the Odd Fellows. In conclusion I want to state Golden Rule 5959 in particular and the rank and file of the order in general extends you this evening and invitation to join. The order needs real men and I assure you if you join the order, matters not whether it be Golden Rule, Sterling Light, Los Angeles or Pasadena. Monrovia or some other lodge and live up to its teachings it will assist you to become a better citizen, a better husband, a better father, a truer Christian, Odd Fellowship will make you, fellow perspectives, an asset to the community in which you live and that society in which you move. Others who participated on the program were Brohter Charles Johnson of Golden Rule and Brother Franklin, who represented Monrovia Lodge. Monrovia had the largest turn-out of any lodge out side the city. of any lodge out side the city. At the conclusion of the program, all were invited to the banquet hall where a sumptuous repast was served in faultless style and all departed voting Golden Rule Lodge as being a class by itself. Golden Rule Lodge is indebted to Brother McGarvey who acted as Master of Ceremonies and was Chairman of the Committee of arrangements. Mr. McGarvey is a business man of high standing in the community 'being engaged in the poultry business, and the superb manner in which every panned off stamped him a jewel to the order. News Item: Easter came with a wonderful assortment of designs and colors. The spirit of Easter was everywhere manifest. Scouts reported that all maidens looked their best, although rains were threatening constantly. The Four Shieks, an auxiliary, issued during th season, summons to all brothers in the bond, and they respond to their call and enjoyed the entertainment furnished them in their nook. THE GREATEST EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF LOS ANGELES That is what the public in general is telling all those who were unable to attend the seasons greatest function which was staged at the beautiful dance palace The Hiawatha Dancing Academy last Wednesday night. 1247 paid admissions were received thru the doors of the dance Palace the largest gathering of the race in the history of Los Angeles. The banquet and dinner dance was staged in honor of Mamie Smith the famous Oke Record Star and the entire company of "Struttin' Along" the all colored revue playing the Philharmonic Auditorium the entire week. M. T. Laws and "Ragtime" Billy Tucker prominent amusement promoters of the city were acclaimed by all as the "Kings" of amusement of the Golden West. Private tables were set for Mrs. Mamie Smith, Mrs. Tucker and Messers Laws. A banquet table set for sixty was in full view of the audience on the mamouth stage. Tables were all set around the hall making the place resemble some big town cabaret. Dancing began promptly at 9 and was indulged in by the merry makers until mid-night. At 12 sharp the entertaining began, delayed on account of the huge mass of people who were at that time trying to gain admittance. Miss Smith and her party arrived at 12 and were escorted to the office of Billy Tucker where she remained until 2:00 a.m. unable to surge through the crowds to the main hall, Billy Tucker seeing that there was not a possible chance to get Miss Smith in the hall passed the public eager to greet Miss Smith through on door and out of the next, every one was compelled to get in line, and all one would have thought that they were waiting in line to greet and shake hands with the President of the United States, surely he could not have received a greater ovation. Miss Smith caused more excitement in Los Angeles in 20 minutes than Ski caused in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day. If old King Tut himself were to rise up out of his tomb and pay Los Angeles a visit he could not cause any more excitement than this dainty little Miss of syncoception not cause any more excitement than this dainty little Miss of syncopation At intervals different members of the profession and members of "Struttin' Along" gave cause for merriment by offering songs of every description and more than pleased the audience. After the entertainment the entire company and Miss Smith with her guest and many other notables of the theatrical profession retired to the office of M., Laws and Billy Tucker to pay homage to the young writer of the "Const Dope" which appears in the Chicago Defender weekly and which has made him known from coast to coast. It was "Ragtime's Birthday and he had a party. A party that could never again be equalled in the United States, with the following as his guests: Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds, "Frisco Nick," the entire company of "Struttin' Along," Harry Fiddler, bigtime vaudeville artist formally of Fiddler and Shelton, Buddy Brown, Thurston Briggs, Mantan Moreland, Carolyn Williams and husband, Bertha Butcher, The Famous Jackson Trio, Doloch and Corbin, vaudville artists touring the coast, Ocey Wilson, husband of Manie Smith, Officer Sheffield, McCauley and Chas. Bryant, Rufus Bishop, Christene Williams, Viola Warner, Mr., and Mrs. M. T. Laws, Mrs. C. Bernard Tucker, Mrs. Hattie Tucker (mother of Billy), Mrs. N. J. Murray (grandmother of Billy) and others too numerous to mention. The owners of the Hiawatha Dancing Academy wish to extend thanks to all who made this the biggest night of their amusement career in the city and to bid you all to come again Monday night when they will endeavor to offer you something different and worthwhile. Respectfully, M. T. Laws and Billy Tucker, Propristors of the Proprietors of the HIAWATHA DANCING ACADEMY. 1824 Central Avenue, Los Angeles, Cal. PITTSBURG, April 12.—The following editorial from the Pittsburg American is one of many of the important subjects of the United Front Conference appearing in the Negro Press which this service will broadcast from time to time: — Pittsburgh Hears Dean Miller In naming the groups to be represented in the Race Conference, Dean Miller seemed to be in agreement with an editorial expression in the Pittsburg American for March 9. In his address at Memorial Hall last Sunday, the dean named the church and fraternal organizations, the welfare and social service bodies and those movements such as the N. A. A. C. P. and the African Blood Brotherhood. As the Pittsburgh American has said in the editorial referred to above, this is as it should be. To have representatives from all of these great organizations would mean that those there really represented something and somebody. There would be no detached individuals but all would be men and women with a real following. Of course the conference will be in danger of invasion by self-constituted leaders who have no following and lead nobody. This group will be composed largely of politicians and lawyers. Most of our lawyers seem to feel that they are leaders simply because they are lawyers. They still live in the long ago of the three learned professions of law, theology and medicine. It seems hard for them to accept the fact that there are other professions now or that there is such a thing in the world as the modern business man. The politician will feel that he should have a voice in Race Conference, too. They are like the lawyers. Most of our lawyers are politicians. No matter how detached from any concrete following this politician will want to be in and have more to say than a man with an organization and a million followers behind him. He will work for his own glory and honor and claim that it is the voice of the people. Men such as this having no organized following behind them can only give voice to their personal platforms. They have built up nothing, they lead nothing, they speak for nobody except possibly a few friends and admirers in their local communities or associates in a certain group. Y.M.C.A. CONTINUED We have shown briefly our efforts toward physical, educational, and social development, and will dwell only for a while on one of the most interesting of our activities. Walter Rathneau, assassinated German philosopher said: "The only full and final aim of all endeavors on earth is the development of the human soul." The preceding paragraphs were a recital of the various activities which lead up to the main which make for the development of the soul of the boy. At the Older Boys' Conference already referred to above more than six hundred boys caught the meaning and significance of the teachings and life of Christ. New resolutions and decisions for better and more useful Christian lives resulted from the many conferences and discussions and contact with great leaders. Bible classes are maintained for the younger boys. The attempt is made to make them see the good world-love of Jesus and his interest in little children as well as men and women. They are encouraged to attend regularly and punctually their respective Sunday schools. All of the meetings of the Hi Y are opened with religious song service, scripture read- Big Clearance Sale MONDAY, APRIL 16 House Dresses and Aprons Aprons--Regular $3.00-$3.50 Values 75c to $1.95 1484 W.

Many of our younger and older boys are active in churches as ushers, members of choirs, Sunday School teachers, and workers in the various church clubs. In the plans for the future we hope to acquaint them thoroughly with existing social problems with the hope that they will so guage their lives for active social work and service. Employment is given to members and friends of the association and worthy applicants free of charge. During the sixteen years of existence the Y has served more than sixteen hundred boys and men in this capacity. Very few if any complaints have been registered where we have sent and recommended men for jobs. We also aid them in securing rooms among the best residents, because of the lack of sufficient dormitories to meet with the demand. In short, the boy or man is given help in almost every sense of the word. Too much credit can not be given to Executive Secretary T. A. Greene for his untiring services and his true Christian character. His years of work with our youth and manhood of sweet, clear and mellow tone will give you the greatest enjoyment.

Candidates and managers have all worked hard and have pledged themselves for service altogether called upon. Last September the high school boys of the city were called together for the election of new officer of the High Y. This organization is universal. Its purpose is "to create mankind and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The total membership to date is sixty-six, thereby making it one of the largest clubs in the state. Reports are sent monthly to the State Office. Following is the last report." North Street H.H.

The Hi-Y club as has been stated above organized a football team and played two games with Passalda-na two weeks before and on Thanksgiving Day the first at Bowie Heights Y and the second on the Passalda-na High School gradation. Later a fight-wight and a heavy-weight basketball team farmed out entertainment and excitement for the boys. Glendale and Passalda were defeated in hard-fought games. Younger boys in the grammar schools played several basketball games and showed much class. Following these activities were volleyball, boxing and wrestling. A number of young boys were taken on a hike by the Boys' secretary to Eagle Rock, Glendale, and Barnbark. These losers of the out-of-doors are anxious to go again—very week if possible. Among the many features outlined for the remainder of the year may be mentioned, swimming meets, hands ball tournaments, monthly stun nights, the first beginning on next Tuesday. April 17, the annual trak s and field meet at the Y M C Ath letic field. Boyle Heights. Y on May 30; regular gym classes. Volley-ball TEST On March 23th, before an array of imposing personages, Wilalyn Stovall, S. B. U. C. won two events and set a new record in a third. Working under an almost overmastering difficulty—prejudice of the most ingenious sort, Wilalyn took first place in the high jump, the open broad jump, and in the third event, the event in which he set a new record, the now hurdles. Comments and congratulations were numerous. A well-known track mentor and successful athlete affirmed Stovall's possibility of winning the world's championship in the keenly competitive open high jump; and although Stovall's modesty forbids him from supplementing to this prediction, we are confident that he is acutely conscious of it. Asble from taking an active part in public welfare work.

Many speakers have been secured during the year for the boys in connection with the educational program. A male woman in the prison of Dr Maria C. Mills, a graduate of the University of Paris, made a wonderful impression upon the Hi Y club and was also inspired by so many eager attentive faces. This club serves one night each month for literary and educational work. Recently a "Find Yourself Campaign" was conducted among the high school boys. This work is along the lines of Vocational Guidance. The best of magazines. Colored newspapers, pamphlets are provided with the hope that they might serve to enlighten them further. One of the outstanding educational features of the Hi Y club year was the annual Older Boy's Conference held in San Diego last December. Seven members were chosen to represent the club and Y. M. C. A., and reported on their return home that the three days of the conference were wonderfully inspiring. Later this year health and sanitation lectures and pictures will be procured for the benefit of our youth. Another item mentioning was the program furnished the Forum by several Hi Y boys, which was off an educational nature. At the beginning of the fall season the Hi Y was the guest of the Girl Reserves at the Twelfth Street Center Y M. C. A. a banquet, musical program, games and entertainment were of a very high order. Frequent needs are held at the Y in order that the boys may be brought closer together and socialize. These little dinners aid in offsetting the regular program. The young people have at their disposal a piano which is in constant use. They gather around it to sing and chat and have a jolly good time. Two quartets are being organized, and an excellent glee club is maintained for more entertainment not only in the lobby but for social and religious affairs outside. Last Summer a ranger's club was formed among the boys who went to camp. Three of our younger boys were guests at the Central Y a few weeks ago, and a most enjoyable evening was registered, and plans for the coming hiking and camping season were discussed and outlined. Just before school a banquet will be held under the auspices of the High Y Club for all men who made the team at the various high schools, junior-high schools, and colleges. Plans are all ready on foot to make this celebration the greatest ever. By Wendell P. Gladden, Jr. There's a yearning in the breasts of all Who have tasted grim oppression's gall.

Cheer the hearts of those whose souls would know Unchecked come foo mvoolees which amaze. Rich and mellow strains the listener hears: Tones that touch the heart and bring the tears: the tears; Perfect harmonies so rich and strong. Waken memories and linger long. There are thoughts that words can Anguished hearts with deeper sorrow still. Ah, the balm that song may be to men Who can meet defeat and try again!

IN THE MUSIC WORLD By John A. Grey. One of the most unique organizations that has ever visited the western shores is the Chinese Opra company that has recently finished a two weeks engagement in Seattle. It is composed of some thirty performers, both men had women. The repertoire is said to be almost limitless. As the average time of performance for a Chinese opera is about five hours and as much of the scenery is left to the imagination, it must be somewhat of an ordeal for the man of the occident to sit through a performance of the same. The company is planning an extensive tour of the East after a lengthy run in San Francisco. Another unique organization that is visiting us in the East is Royal Egyptian Orchestra, comprising fifteen native singers and musicians from Cairo. It will tour throughout the East and present programs of compositions that date from the time of King Tut down to the present time. The forthcoming tour will be subsidized by a local group of Egyptian music patrons and represents a serious effort to introduce to the public the true and original conception of Egyptian music. The director is arranging with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and other colleges to give special student concerts. We have mentioned before in these columns the value of music as an aid to a race in its efforts to demand recognition and here we have a concrete example of the same. Justin Elie, the Hayton pianist and composer gave a recital in New York recently. He was assisted by Suzanne Gallien, a French soprano. The program for the most part was composed of his own compositions. The Metropolitan Opera company has revived "L'Africaine" that colorful opera of Meyerbeer. The characters in this opera are nearly all very dark with woolly hair. Truly, the trend of music in the past few weeks has been toward the darker races. THE MEMOIRS OF AN EX-SHEIK Blue Room Scene and Solitude, Alone in his blue room, overlooking his beautiful rose-arbor and the sweet-scented bowers of his colorful court, the ex-sheik stands, his arms folded and his head bowed. He is aware of new and revived interest and maneuvering among all back-bitters, chewers, nibblers, and fellow-sheiks. And all of the Associated Sheiks report favorably concerning tasks as signed. He is undecided about his program for the next week. He paces the soft carpeted fifloor slowly—and meditates. The Ex-Sheik Speaks: Violent showers keep me within my golden-colored tent. I now give more attention to my chambers and spacious rooms. There is little peace now. I become bored at times with the sight of the multitude of feminine beauty and gracefulness. How I long for May flowers, and warm balmy June days. Far above my miñares April showers forever threaten with their downpour incessant. Smoking, reading, and overlasting chatting no longer make their ap Edited by WENDELL P. GLADDEN, Jr. peal. Often I steal away with the favorite of my harem when eventide brings the shadows and love comes stealthily, blindly, passionately; and I feel the gentle touch of her hand, gazing into her wondrous eyes, black as night, and behold the fresh warm color that creeps into her cheeks of henna, for her love belongs to me. Harem Scene Continued. Hollywood's relay team set a new city meet record when it nosed out L. A.'s hopes in the fast time of 3 m. 7:25 seconds. Field Thompson of L. A. equalled the city mark for the quarter mile. Pasadena won first in the second heat of the relays with the assistance of Hurlic and Whizer. Lincoln nabbed second with George Down where the crescent moon light steals into his costly cozy chambers, the ex-Sheik bore his little burden of love. He was perturbed. "Why have you been disloyal, my favorite?" he asked bending low over her. The maiden lay in a pile of soft inviting pillows. She was weeping, even as a babe. No sheik, the indefultruder forced himself on me, and I cried for you, dear sheik from the minaret. I fought him, but he was too powerful. "The ex-sheik gathered his loved one to him, and obeying his command, the favorite's favorite dancers ala Orientale, harem dancers, slaves, all came forth the thumping rhythm of Oriental, harem dancers proclaimed him the sheik! He sat on his gorgeous sheiky throne, wearing his magnificent turban of purple without changing the indifferent expression on his handsome young face. The host of followers bowed He nodded and with outstretched hand, palm down, bade them arise and begin festivities finale. The City of the Angeles is fortunate in having within her gates one of the Association of Sheiks and his flock of benna, brown, and pink beauteous femininity. Back-bitters, chewers, nibblers, fellow-sheiks, attend! behold the favorite. 'Ain't but the one!' BOXING SON GOODRICH BEATS K. O. SUMMERS IN MAIN EVENT AT THE GARDEN Son Goodrich won all the way in his bout with K. O. Summers the Madison Square Garden last Wednesday. Summers stood some terrific punishment. Battleting Demon was a set-up for Vic Alexander, the match was stopped; Ted Frenchie got the decision over Eddie Morton, gaining a knock-down for the count of nine; Young Hinds fought a good draw with O'Brien. ARCHIE WOODYARD EQUALS CITY RECORD FOR HUNDRED Archie Woodyard equalled the city mark of 10.1 for the hundred dash and ran the fastest heat in the two-twenty yards in the preliminaries for the city track and field meet held Wednesday at Patterson Field. He made this fast time in the third heat; and in third heat for the furlong. Bill Hurlic of Pasadena and his team-mate Whizer won their heats in the hundred yard dashes in the good time of 10.2 Hurlic beat Leee Franklin who won from Archie in the Jefferson meet, while Whizer beasted Rudolph of Hollywood, a consistent winner in dual meets. But in the twotwenty both of the crown city flashes were forced to take second places. Charles Diggs, sprinter and hurdler of L. A. placed second in the high hurdles, beaten by Turner of Hollywood in the fair time of 16.3. Had Diggs not sustained an injury some weeks ago while practicing on Housh Field his legs would have given him no trouble and the result may have George Duncan had a hard man to be different. beat in Pollack in his heat of the two-twenty yard dash. The latter beating him by several yards. It was enough, however, to qualify him for the city meet. De Lavaladee of Polytechnic also qualified for the Saturday affair in the high jump event. This athlete has been going good throughout the session, and is expected to show up well Making Money Making Money Some men make their money in business—some in stocks—some by toilsome savings of their daily wage. But I submit to you the unquestioned fact that more men have reached a comfortable competence through the ownership of property—houses and land which bring in a fixed income—than in any other way. Business requires your sole attention—Stocks mean sleepless nights and days of worry—Property works by itself for you without your care. Select it—Set it to work—it takes care of itself and will take care of you. A good example of this sort of investment is found in a few of my special listings as follows: Seven room house, East 40th St., $4200.00; $1000.00 cash. Five room house, corner Hooper Ave., $3950.00 $1000.00 cash. Three rooms East 51st St., $1750.00; $500.00 cash. Five room bungalow, Naomi St., $4200.00; $700.00 cash. 1807 Central Ave in the finals. Hollywood's relay team set a new city meet record when it nosed out L. A.'s hopes in the fast time of 3 m. 7 2-5 seconds. Field Thompson of L. A. equalled the city mark for the quarter mile. Pasadena won first in the second heat of the relays with the assistance of Hurlic and Whizer. Lincoln nabbed second with George Duncan among the steppers and Brothers aided Manual Arts to take third place. A great crowd is expected to witness the city meet which will be held at Occidental and it will not be surprising if new marks are set. Close races are anticipated in the hundred yard dash finals when Lee, Pollack, Whizar, Hurlic, and our own Archie Woodyard tangle for honors. The two-twenty yards should be fast and exciting with the same speedsters furnishing thrills. We shall see what we shall see. Nuf Sed! BASEBALL LEAGUE By Rube Foster W. W. "Billy" Donaldson, local umpire and announcer at Madison Square Garden, has been chosen as umpire in the Negro National League, according to a telegram received by Mr. Noah D. Thompson, of the Evening Epress, from Andrew Rube Foster, president of the league. The announcement was dated April 4. Donaldson has been very active in admirers and friends in the world of local baseball circles, and has many sports. He was well-recommended to Foster by men of experience and close followers of the game. He has also served the White Sox in the capacity of umpire on many occasions and has been announcer at Madison Square Garden boxing arena. Readers of the California Eagle will be fortunate in learning of the activities of the league from an actual observer and official. Tabulated results of games played and news of players will be published in these columns. A big reception is planned for Billy when his many friends will be present to give him a happy send-off and extend wishes for his success. He will leave for Chicago on next Saturday. April 22, where he stated he will work his first games. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Stunt night will be held at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday April 17 at 8:00 p. m. Boxing and wrestling matches, gym stunts, and a minstrel show, are included in the program. The address delivered by Rev. O. L. Chatters last Sunday was inspiring. There was a large and appreciative audience to listen and extend to Mr. Chatters their wishes for the best of health and success in the future. Mr. Chatters leaves soon for his home. Plans are ready for the indoor baseball tournament which will be held soon in connection with the program of the Inter-Sunday School Athletic League. A short talk was given by the Boys' Work Secretary concerning our work with boys at Wesley Chapel's morning services on last Sunday. Mr. Chas. Sanders assisted with a beautiful vocal solo. Other churches will hear from representatives of the Y and more people may learn of the efforts to help the boys of the city. FIRST MAY DANCE!!!

The Eagle in this coming Primary, as in al others, will give to every candidate an opportunity to state their case, and admirably do we take sides. There are two instances where the Primary vote is final, viz: The Motor Bus Ordinance and the members of Congress from the 10th District. In our next issue we shall speak very plainly in these columns on the two propositions mentioned. SHALL WE REPEAL JITNEY BUS ORDINANCES? Some weeks ago, we called attention to the fact that all of our citizens give the most serious consideration to the proposed ordinance which proposes to repeal the jitney bus proposition, which was a pernicious evil to Los Angeles some years back. The citizens of this city can well remember the conditions which obtained at that time, and it is now asking a great deal after the sacrifices made in that great contest to expect the people to vote to repeal the very law they fought for. If we repeal the law, what is there to prevent the pernicious jitney bus to make its grand re-entry upon our fair streets? We note the stand that some of our foremost citizens are taking, and we trust that they have measured the distance and if they appreciate what conditions existed previous to the enactment of the measure known as the anti-jitney bus ordinance. Some of our high financers perhaps are wise to the benefits, but speaking for the plain common every day man or woman, we ask that before you decide to vote for the repeal of this jitney bus ordinance that you scratch your head and think a little and then decide. LEGAL BAN ON KLAN MASKS After a short, sharp fight the assembly today passed by a vote of 17 to 15 A. B. No. 1224, by Assemblyman John B. Badaracco, San Francisco, making it a felony for any person to appear in public with his face or person covered by mask or regalia for the purpose of concealing identity. Seventeen members were absent. The measure is aimed at the Ku Klux Klan, and the fight was clearly defined by Badaracco's declaration that the members were being called upon to vote for the klan or for the American citizens of the state. The bill met opposition from members who declared that they are not interested in the klan, but were basing their opposition on the ground that the legislature should not have any part in making laws touching religious questions in any way. NOT AGAINST ORGANIZATIONS "I am not against the Ku Klux Klan or any other organization," said Badaracco. "but I am opposed to the acts of violence that have been "committed in this state in which the principals wore masks. A vote against this bill will be a vote for the Ku Klux Klan, and one for which it will be for the good of American citizens of the state." Assemblyman Ernest Doquier, Shas Los Angeles County, beli the opposition to the bill. Held Persecution. Radham said. "It is clear the measure is aimed at the Ku Klux Klan, and while I know nothing of that organization, I do not believe the Legislature should temper with any religious legislation. This is a form of persecution, and will only serve to strengthen the organization at which it is aimed. I don't believe in antagonizing any organization, and we can never gain anything by it." CASE AT ROSEVILLE. Assemblyman Mrs. Corn Wood-bridge of Placer County told of Klan activities in Roseville, and stated that she had been obliged to halt by an officer of the law on a public street in Roseville while the Klan passed along the street on parade. "I am an American citizen, had my face uncovered and I strenuously object to any such a practice as that," declared Mrs. Wood- If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened EDITORIAL SECTION Oldest on the Coast 15,000 Circulation Assemblyman Earnest Dozier, Shasta County, opposed the bill in its present form, declaring the mere offense of fwearing a mask or regalia should not constitute a felony. He voted for the measure, however. "If a crowd of people in night gowns want to parade down the street they are a lot of fools, but they haven't committed any felony. If they want to give some preacher $50 they are still fools, but that is no felony. I believe, however, that any crime committed by persons in disguise, even though only a misdemeanor, should constitute a felony." Dozier asked that the bill be amended in the senate. Those voting for the bill were Anderson, Badaracco, C. C. Baker, Ball, Bernard, Connolly, Crittendon, Croter, Davis, Dawson, Ennine, Erb, Graves, Hawes, Johnson, Johnston, Jones, Lyons, Miller, A. G. Mitchell, T. A, Mitchell, Morrison, Mueller, Noyes, Pedrotti, Reindollar, Roberts, Rock, Rosenshine, Saylor, Schmidt, Snyder, Spalding, Stevenot, Stow, Weller, West, Woodbridge, Morriam—47. Against the bill: Badham, Broughton, Christian, Cleveland, Dean, Norris, Foster, Fox, Kline, McMillan, Moore, Pomeroy, Pendergast, Williams, Wright—15. Absent: Edwin, Baker, Clarke, Coombs, Fellom, Fulwider, Heisinger, Hornblower, Lyman, Mathews, McDowell, McPherson, Morris, Scott, Smith, Spence, W. h itacre, Caster. EDITOR ABBOT, OF CHICAGO DEFENDER, RECEIVES SIGNAL HONOR The following is from the BillBoard the world's greatest Theatrical Digest The Amsterdam News of New York has placed the name of Robt. S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender, in nomination for the Springgarn Medal that is bestowed annually upon the Negro credited with having made the greatest contribution to racial advancement. In seconding the nomination we believe that Mr. Abbott, as the owner and publisher of the biggest journal of the race, should be so honored for the sake of journalism and its contributions and for his personal achievement in building up the great publishing house that produces his weekly that covers the world. Burleigh and Gilpin have been chosen from the musical and theatrical professions, and they have merited the distinction, yet even their worth would not have been recognized without the aid of the press. The same is true of all our accomplishments. The Negro press has contributed long and faithfully to every advance the race has had; has helped when no other assistance was available, and has received less pay in either honors or perquisites of more material character than has any other instrument of civilization. Now that, in spite of handicaps, Negro writers, publishers and their journals have commanded respect attention from the world, it would be indeed fitting that someone of the craft should receive this tardy recognition of its worth; and equally fitting that the biggest among us should wear it. Many among us may differ with Mr. Abbot's editorial policy at times, but we must all concede his sincerity and the extent of his influence; and we must admit that both he and his paper are big. AN OPEN LETTER. AN OPEN LETTER. 1759 West 15th Street. Los Angeles, Calif. April 2, 1923. To the Editor of The Eagle To the Editor of the Eagle. The article appearing in your issue of the 31st March under the caption—"Colored Students Ousted from Southern California Yearly Dance," while partially reflecting the truth of a certain unfortunate occurrence at the University of Southern California nearly two weeks ago, entertains inaccuracies which it is expedient to correct because of the false impression which they are liable to convey to the public mind; and I crave the courtesy of your valuable columns for so doing. In the first place, the dance in question was not "the Annual Class Day Dance of the University of Southern California." It was a minor entertainment by which the senior students of the College of Pharmacy reciprocated a previous courtesy of the junior students of that division of the University. In the next place, the Dean was not consulted by the colored students, as the article indicated. As a matter of fact a very intelligent and impudent white student, evidently ignorant of the traditions of the school, was the author of the note which sought to dismiss the presence of our students from the function; and his very stupid and impertinent action is now the subject of an investigation by the President of the University, Dr. R. B, von Klein-Smid. Colored students who retired from the parlor of the entertainment were not forced to do so because "the atmosphere ... became soicy," but because they had previously arranged to leave at a certain time. One couple, it should be noted, remained until the very last when it was found desirable—on account of the homeward distance before them—to withdraw, a fact which demonstrated their fearless and courageous attitude. While greatly appreciating your suggestion with reference to the intervention of our worthy Assemblyman, I would suggest, in reply, that, as the University of Southern California exists on private, and only private, endowments, Mr. Roberts would be placed in a rather unenviable position if he were to assert official action in this matter which the combined efforts of the colored students are now successfully prosecuting before the Executive of the University. Relying on your appreciation of my desire to correctly inform the public of the facts in the case, I am. Most cordially and sincerely yours, James W. McGregor. THE BYSTANDER THE BROOKLYN PRESS Again we get echoes of discrimination. They tell us that democratic old Polytechnic High School has suggested to the Colored members of the graduating class that they segregate themselves. If this is true, it is certainly sad and pathetic that this beautiful institution of learning, clothed in spotless white, surrounded with refreshing foliage and flowers in bloom, should hover and shelter such warped and feeble-minded people, as would waste the time in making such an antique suggestion. If teachers and pupils alike would spend about one-tenth of their idle time used in discriminating others absorbing the ideas and assimilating the ideals for which the institution was established, it would seem to everyone a more beneficial and satisfactory utilization of the public's money. There is no dissimulation of the revenue. A dollar is a dollar, when it is spent for the common use. In fact the very idea of industrial education, a polytechnic school, is the idea of a Negro in spite of this fact his race must be subjected to humiliating experiences because of the utter weakness and mental debility of a few fortunate instructors. This is not a situation for sympathy. It is rather an opportunity for the various civil organizations to combine efforts and fight these covardly acts. A Campaign At Wesley Chapel, Sunday morning, a young follow, Mr. Wendell Gladden, walked right up front and spoke out. It was a commendable effort and for a praiseworthy cause. Young Mr. Saunders easily assisted Mr. Gladden's plea with a solo, "My Task," which had an appeal. It was all for the Y. M. C. A. and its campaign, and if those present Sunday morning heard the two representatives of the "Y," no other appeal ought to be made or force escaped to insure subscription and contributions. If the "Y" does no more than inspire these two young men it has earned a liberal donation. Register Every member of our race in this city should stop long enough to register. If there is any people who ought to take the time even if it took one hour to do so, it is our group. We grumbled because it was denied as in the south. Now that we have this inalienable right—a weapon against discrimination and Kau Klux we ought to lay aside indulence, inactivity and passiveness, and rush to register and storing the ballot box in an effort to make California a Utopia for Negro progress. POLITICAL POT PIE The pie maker has been on a vacation, but is now back on the job and will furnish quite an assortment of pies for our readers to devour. Titus Alexander who received the unanimous vote of the recent mass meeting of the Colored voters as their choice and presented by the Forum for the consideration of all of the voters is making a winning campaign and no doubt will qualify at the primaries for a place on the connexion ticket. The Motor Bus contest appears to be a live one and quite an array of workers are going forth, both for and against the proposition. In our next issue we shall write extensively on this issue. Wood Wilson, veteran politician all around mixer and prince of good fellows, is in charge of the Bert Farmer for Mayor East Side Headquarters ably assisted by Col. C. H. Alston, and Mrs. Ella Cassels. The same personnel also has charge of the Motor Bus fight for the Bus people. The race for a Congressman to fill out the unexpired term of the late Capt. H. Z. Osborne is getting up to a fever heat with Al Bartlett, Capt. Fredericks, Osborne Bell and McDonald and Mrs. Galpin as the starters. This race it is said is very apt to be a close one and if the women voters turn out in large numbers will make Mrs. Galpin a real contender. One thing that can be said of McDonald, he is no hypoerite and comes right out and states where he stands and his only reason for running, he says, is to modify the Volstead Act. The candidates for Mayor are the present incumbent, George C. Cryer, Bert L. Farmer, E. H. Hancock, J. Knapp and E. E. Moore. It is generally conceded that owing to the number of contenders that there will be no choice at the primaries and that the two highest will make a sizzling fight at the general election. W. H. Sanders (Pop) is leading the forces which are against the repeal of the jitney bus ordinance and has a strong line up against the busx proposition. R. G. Lamar, the doughty political gladiator, is in charge of the East Side forces for Mayor Cryer. Mr. Lamar is a hard and energetic worker and in his hands the Cryer forces have a live wire who can deliver the goods. The line up for the City Council is not as yet definitely shaped up but one thing sure R. S. Sparks (Cupid) will be among those at the top of the list. Sparks is a man who is really and truly for the people. Interest in the Congressional election to be held on May 1st is increasing as election day approaches, and the six candidates in the race are making things pop. The prohibition question appears to be the paramount issue with candidates Osborne, Galpin, Bartlett, Bell and Fredericks declaring for strict enforcement of the Volstead Act, and candidate Frank A. McDonald espousing the cause of modification. Mr. McDonald claims that the Volstead Act is directly responsible for the birth and activities of the boot beggar and sites the fact that this enemy of civilization was practically unknown in America until the advent of prohibition; he also claims that the natricotic evil began to flourish soon after the enactment of the Volstead law and has increased to alarming proportions. He also claims and quotes statistics to prove it that the prohibition laws have done much to destroy respect for all laws and that since prohibition America has suffered from an unprecedent crime wave, and points to the fact that in America new jails are being built, new penitentiaries erected to house the increased number of criminals, and that the insane hospitals are full to overflowing, to say nothing of the thousands who have died or become helplessly paralyzed or blind from drinking poison bootleg and from using dope as a substitute for the wine and bead they formally consumed. (Crusader Service) NEW ORLEANS, April 12.—On the face of virtually complete but unofficial returns from Tuesday's primary in twelve parishes comprising the Fifth Supreme Court District, to choose a candidate to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court District, Judge H. F. Brunot of Baton Rouge, anti Ku Klux Klan candidate, received a majority of 555 votes over his two opponents, Judges Columbus Reid and Robert S. Elias, both of Amite, supported by the Klan. PICKEN'S 'RELIGIOUS DISBELIEF EMBARASSED DUBOIS NEW YORK, April 10—That Prof. Pickens, because of his recently expressed views on hell, resurrection and other basic beliefs of Christians has become a source of embarrassment to the N. A. A. C. P, is proved by the incident in Los Angeles when Dr. Du Bois was asked at a lecture he endorsed Pickens' religious views. Coming hard upon the heels of his recent controversy with Marcus Garvey regarding his negotiations with the U. N. I. P. A. for a highly paid official position, his present close connection with the Friends of Negro Freedom and his becoming a prominent writer for the ultra-radical Messenger which until a few months ago referred to him as a clown and which in the current issue abuses Dr. DuBois and the Crisis, the Los Angeles incident suggests the good Dean is in disciplinary measure in order that the N. A. A. C. P. may not be longer compromised in the public mind. LAURENCE C. GREEN TO BE SALESMAN FOR BIG PAINT COMPANY Laurence C. Green, son of Mr. T. A. Green, popular Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is now at Sacramento acting as secretary for Assemblyman E. M. Roberts. While in the Capital be is taking a course in salesmanship, and on his return to Los Angeles, the last of this month, it present plans are carried out, he will enter the employ of the Roberts Mutual Pain Company, a large cooperative firm with offices and factory at 2215 E. 9th street, in the capacity of salesman. Mr. Green's duties will be solely in the domain of salesmanship, and the opportunity thus offered him by this liberal-minded enterprise is a wonderful one, and a brilliant business future can be prophesied for this young man.

D. 1618 1-2 East 9th Street. --- Efficiency of speech or sweetness of voice, whether for ordinary conversation or for vocal efforts of a truly musical sort, depends upon a great many principles of health, hygiene and temperament. Perhaps one of the fundamental reasons why few people talk with ease and elegance is the woeful disregard of available knowledge for voice discipline. These things are not only worth knowing, but they are even more worth a trial and a practice. A poor voice is not only an abomination, but it is a handicap. A physician once investigated the proportion of voices that were clear, precise and in a fair way vigorous and healthful, and found to his disappointment that less than one person in fifty had a silver-sweet, soft, musical voice. Strained, harsh, piping, high-pitched, grating or noisy voices diminish the opportunities and earning powers of their possessors. Doors are closed to them and opened to those who have easy, softened and well-handled voices. Mark you, a healthful, well-displined voice does not mean the affection of the accent known as the "broad A", the artificial, foppish, Beau Brunnel kind. Such a voice enchants the ear of superficial, frothy, "society" people, and may sometimes advance the fortunes of their usually snobbish owners, but that is not the type of the voice which is cared for, according to the laws of health, hygiene and wisdom. Bed Bloed and Mackenzie Before any precise methods of special discipline and treatment can be directed with profit towards the particular vocal machinery, the whole of your anatomy must be put in good form. The blood must be red, and of a proper consistency. It must not flow too rapidly nor be too thin. The little muscles of the arteries as well as the greater muscles of the throat, arms, legs, thorax and abdomen should be in the pink of condition. These things are the first requisites of a good voice, and they cannot be had by the, sort of life that ninety-nine men in a hundred lead, whos it, stand or even walk in dingy, dimly illuminated offices, stores and factories. To maintain the correct degree of redness of the blood, healthy glow of the senses and a well-balanced nutrition, as well as tone to the muscles, at least one hour of vigorous muscular activity in the sunlight, open air is demanded. Indoor pally exercises, boxing, fencing, dumb-bells, clubs and similar gymnasium work are inferior to rowing, swimming, tennis, running, baseball and other outdoor sports. The voice itself is largely a muscular affair. Therefore systematic athletics, ney, even chewing food vigorously, sends nourishment scurrying in all directions to reach your "talking machinery" as well as the rest of your anatomy. Emotional persons, those who "dry off the handle" or call themselves "temperamental" often require more rest than exercise to aid in the restoration of "honey words" and an even tone to their voice. These victims of excessive glandular action should avoid coffee, tea, soups, broths, nuts, cheese and meat. Their fabric demands at least eight hours sleep in each twenty-four. The foods mentioned tend to maintain their muscles and the vocal cords at a high-strung, hoarse or creaky tension.

This was a very instructive sermon and came in a very needy time. During these peri- cious times the devil has sought to entangle the people of God with the law, thus destroying some weak souls. The pastor was careful to explain that there was only one schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. We saw in the message the necessity of accepting the word in its simplicity, in order that we might not frustrate the word of God. Dr. Clark, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Zion church, occupied the for the evening service. The subject of his discourse was found in Luke 20:36. "For they are equal unto angels." He beautifully pictured the power, beauty, swiftness and strength of angels. But the thought that cheered every child of God was that we shall be their equals. It was very evident that his discourse was enjoyed by all, and Dr. Clark always has a cordial welcome at Bethel.

In stead of the regular divine service in the evening the Sunday School rendered their delayed Easter program to a large and appreciative audience, which was a success with credit due Mrs. H. B. Thomas, the organist. The Sunday School shows a steady growth and a lively prayer meeting is held each week and the B. Y. B. U. is growing. All visitors are welcome to each service. St. Paul A. M. E.

But at the close of 1922 Mr. Tate and his associates, with their usual sober and far-sighted judgment, saw that the day of big business was at hand and that if they wanted to give the largest return and the greatest security to their policy-holders, the Afro-American should ally itself with some larger company. They turned to the North Carolina Mutual, the largest Negro life insurance company in the world. In such a splendid condition were the affairs of these two companies that a reinsurance plan was immediately effected and approved by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of North Carolina. The policy holders of the Afro-American will, therefore, in the future pay all premiums to the North Carolina Mutual and look to that company for the settlement of claims. The North Carolina, Mutual has $38, 499,996 worth of insurance in force. It has paid in death and sick claims to policy-holders during the last twenty four years approximately $4, 000,000. It maintains a reserve fund, for the protection of policy-holders, that equals $1,451,700.76. It has lent more than $1,000,000 to finance Negro homes and business enterprises.

Motorbus Question By William G. McAdoo, Former Secretary of the Treasury and Counsel for The People's Motorbus Company of Los Angeles. The most critical problem in Los Angeles today is its need for improved and adequate transportation service. So great has been the growth of this wonderful community and so amazing and continuous its development along all lines, that its transportation facilities have become overburdened and inadequate. This, of course, is perfectly obvious to everyone familiar with the situation. It is also clearly evident that Los Angeles should have a modern motorbus system, similar to those being successfully operated in New York, Chicago and Detroit, of supplement its existing street service. The people of this city, in fact, are entitled to have at their constant disposal every available transportation facility—and that means both motorbus and street car systems. Anything short of adequate service, whether by car lines or busses, will not do; and certainly it will avail very little to establish busses as "feeder" lines to existing street car service. Such an arrangement will do two undesirable things—congest already overcrowded cars and thus add to the discomfort of the people and by perpetuating a traction monopoly eliminate competition in this important field of public service. The establishment of a bus system such as is proposed by the People's Motorbus Company of Los Angeles will mean large and immediate benefits to the citizens of Los Angeles. It will give them a modern, adequate and dependable bus service covering every section of the community where such service is needed. It will be a tremendous aid to developing districts which are not now served by car lines, and thus will further promote the city's progress. By the presence of such bus service, managed by men thoroughly familiar with the local situation and constantly alert to serve the public interest, the element of competition No More B At Hiawat which is so much desired by the traveling public will be assured. In the absence of such competition, the people are always subject to impositions that in time become intolerable. The bus service such as the People's Motorbus Company seeks to establish here will also relieve the press traffic congestion. Experience in other large cities where busses are being operated, shows conclusively that a large number of privately owned automobiles are removed from the crowded districts by the presence of a dependable bus service. Automobile owners soon learn that they can use busses much more advantageously and economically than by the constant use of their motor cars, and this quickly removes the nuisance of parking automobiles in the crowded downtown districts. Moreover it is not at present proposed to operate busses in the congested downtown area between Olive Street on the west and Los Angeles, Street on the east until the city takes steps to deal with the situation in that area. Moreover, the bus creates its own traffic. Their clientele is one that the street cars cannot and do not serve. A large part of the bus traffic is the kind that the street cars never had, or have driven to the use of the private automobile. Thousands of automobiles are today operated by persons who would gladly use busses if we had a system that would adequately and continuously serve the community. In New York, Chicago, and Detroit, where bus systems have been thoroughly tried out and found satisfactory in every particular, the people themselves have been responsible for the augmented bus service. These cities could not and would not be without this bus service to supplement their street car lines. Chicago notwithstanding the fact that the municipality is financially interested in the profits of the traction system, has authorized a 1,000 per cent increase in its bus service—from 60 to 600 busses. Busses in that city have been in continuous operation since 1917. Detroit which now owns and operates its street railway service, has given every encouragement to its privately owned service, although this system operates for miles on the same streets with the railway lines. Busses never fail the traveling public at critical times because of blockades, powerhouse troubles, and obstructions on tracks. Nor do they cause blockades. Express service can be run on the same streets with local service. The bus is a public benefit because it is safe, comfortable and healthful and its service is at once rapid and dependable, and of course, more desirable than street cars because air-open travel in a city like Los Angeles is recreational. The proposal of the People's Motorbus Company to provide Los Angeles with a modern, comprehensive and responsible system of bus transportation has been put up to the people of Los Angeles because they, after all, are the ones to decide whether or not they want such service. No makeshift, half-hearted, "feeder" service will satisfy them. Of this we are certain. Nor are they likely to tolerate a traction monoply that will be unresponsive to the community's progress and indifferent to the people's It You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened needs. We fully believe the people of Los Angeles have reached that point in this vitally important transportation problem where they intend to settle it in a manner that will give this great municipality the kind of service by both bus and rail lines it manifestly deserves. NO DISCRIMINATION IN CHICAGO BUS SERVICE City of Chicago Council Chamber March 28, 1923. Mr. Wood Wilson. 580 Central Avenue. Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Sir: Your letter of recent date in relation to the proposed system of Motor-Bus transportation to be established in Los Angeles was received. Replying to your inquiry as to whether or not the rumor circulated in Los Angeles in opposition to your proposed system of motor bus transportation to the effect that the Chicago motor busses refused to pick up colored people, beg to state that it is wholly untrue. There is absolutely no discrimination in our motor bus transportation. They are public conveyances and accommodate all persons without regard to race or color. Very sincerely yours, Louis B. Anderson, Alderman 2nd Ward. Adv Stories circulated for sometime that motor busses in Chicago do not stop for colored passengers were disproved this week when Wood Wilson received a reply to a letter he wrote to Chicago. His letter and the answer are printed herewith: Los Angeles, Cal., March 28, 1923. Eastside Headquarters. 580 Central Ave. Hon. Louis B. Anderson. City Hall. Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir: It is proposed to establish in Los Angeles a system of motorbus transportation such as is now being operated in Chicago, the said proposition to go to the ballot in May. Opposing interests are circulating dangerous propaganda setting forth the fact that the Chicago motorbusses refuse to pick up colored people. We are writing you, personally, to know first-hand and from authority, if that statement is true. Does the Chicago motorbus refuse to carry colored passengers or in any way discriminate against them? We are vitally interested in your answer because the literature we are handling especially points out the splendid service rendered by the motorbuses in Detroit and Chicago. We have set out to conduct this campaign in the Eastside, a section of our city corresponding to your Second and Third Wards, therefore you can see how your early reply will help. Cordially yours for all advancement, Wood Wilson, Campaign Mgr'r, Ella L. Cassells, Secretary. People of the Race are losing their only chance, if they do not make Central Avenue Sub-division a success. Lots in Central Avenue Sub-division are a good investment no city taxes; all improvements.
