Eagle's Great $4,000.00 Contest Ends In Seven Short Days ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FOR PROGRESS FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP— PEOPLES FORUM ~ SUNSHINE ~ FLOWERS ~ OPPORTUNITIES NO MAN DOWN TELEPHONE: 829-244 A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL $2.00 THE YEAR VOLUME 37 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 30, 1923 NO. 32 Tenn. Judge Hits Klan CAMPAIGN NOTES The next vitally important day, will, no doubt, be ever productive for the "live wires" in The Eagle's Big Campaign, and so far this week none of them have slackened their pace to get votes for most of them realize that the campaign comes to a sudden close December 8th, at 10 o'clock p.m. One lady said that she was just commencing to get started and that she had not even seen half of the people that she was going to get subscriptions from. The campaign up to the present time has been a neck to neck race, and the contestant who makes the biggest effort between now and December 8th by jumping in and getting a few long term subscriptions can "boost" this score at a winning pace. Remember—you can't get too many votes— From now on it is going to be a keen race, and at 10 o'clock Saturday night December 8th, which is the closing date of the Eagle's BIG campaign some energetic person is going to be just $1,795.00 richer. Remember—that the votes decrease after December 1st quite a bit, so you must put on all "steam" and take advantage of this period. The way to "Boost" your vote score is to work on the 2, 3, 4, 5, and ten-year subscriptions. Mrs. Callie Brookings continues to add to her score, and her friends predict a whirlwind finish for her. Mrs. E. Lofton is also "whooping" things up, and with the effort she says she is going to make, will be in the lead soon. Watch her step right out. Mrs. F. R. Brooks, of Seattle, has been going right after things, and she is determined to walk away with the first prize. Mrs. R. M. Banks is going to get the big ones which count the most. Dr. A. L. Brown, of San Diego, has not been idle, and bids fair to make some of the fast ones get busy. Mrs. Augusta C. McCallister has some line additions to her vote score, which have been passed in by her friends at the Eagle office. Mrs. E. C. Buckler is a "go-getter", and always has good news when she reports. Mr. Chas. S. Broady knows the value of keeping right on getting votes in this second Big Vote period. Rev. L. B. Brown keeps on plugging away. It's hard to keep a good man down. Miss O. E. Donaldson has some friends who are determined she shall win the Reo Six Phaeton and her vote shows that her friends are backing their talk with subscriptions. Mrs. Bessie Dickerson, of Pasadena, is now getting her campaign started in earnest, and will no doubt make some of the leaders nervous before When accompanied by the Nomination Blank, and your first subscription, this coupon will start you in the race for the magnificent California Eagle prizes, with a grand total of more than 120,000 Votes. This coupon may be used only once and is valid when accompanied by a subscription remittance. Amount Enclosed This coupon will count 100,000 EXTRA tree Votes when returned to the Campaign Manager, together with the first subscription you obtain—it must be accompanied by the cash, and the subscription must be for a period of one year or longer. The 100,000 EXTRA tree Votes are in addition to the regular number of Votes given on the subscription as per the regular schedule. the next count is announced. Mrs. Wm. McTrent is a hustling candidate from Marysville, and we learn she is preparing for a whirlwind finish. Mrs. Virginia Corry, of Pasadena, is working hard and her efforts are meeting with unusual success. She will not be satisfied with anything but the first prize and her friends predict that she shall have it. Mrs. F. C. Clines, Jr., is piling up the votes, and while she is very busy with other duties she finds time to get some big subscriptions while they count the most. Mrs. Chas. B. Dones of Redlands, California, has fattened her already nice vote standing and will make it hot for some one before the campaign is over. Peter Mitchell, of Hantford, Calif., seems to know just how and where to get the big subscriptions and has not overlooked a single chance to get one during the past week. Rev. M. W. Irwin is coming along and promises to be a real contender for first honors. Mrs. Isaac Johnson is still piling up votes and is not overlooking the fact that this is the time to get all the big subscriptions possible. Mrs. L. Lofton is getting her campaign organized nicely, and she says that she intends to be leading the field before the next vote score is made up. Mrs. H. E. Norwood is a very consistent worker, and is daily adding to her fine vote score. She says that if the rest of the contestants expect to win the Reo Phaeton they will have to "step" some. W. C. Alexander, of El Centro, knows how to get the big votes, and he is making full use of knowledge the way he keeps bringing the votes in. Mrs. Anna McGee is hitting them hard, and when it comes to putting over the big ones—she's there Miss Anna Louise Griffin has also received a lot of votes during the past week. The out-of-town candidates seem to be holding their own in the BIG race, and it is evident that they mean business the way they are sending in votes to the Eagle's office. Mrs. Mabel Turner's friends are surely anxious to see her come out on top. Mrs. J. G. Allen has organized her campaign in fine shape and she has made some big strides in the last week. Mrs. M. G. Patton is another contestant who bids fair to make things "hum" in the next two weeks. Mrs. G. Gillespie has things going now and big things are expected. She will be bound to line up by December 1st. Mrs. Charlotte Kimbrough reports that she has any number of prospects that she will be bound to line up by December 1st. Ed. T. Hubbard is one of the busy candidates who is getting busy these last vote days. Miss Winifred Ragsdale promises that she is going right after things from now on since she has found out that it takes votes to win the Reo Phaeton. Miss Cynthia Hill has one of the "live wire" workers, she is making things "hum" in her campaign to win the Reo Phaeton. Mrs. Clarence Jones is getting her share of votes from day to day. Mrs. J. Hickerson's friends keep on "boosting" her vote score regularly. Miss Elizabeth Perkins has by no means forgotten the foot that now is the time to keep on pulling up votes. Mrs. A. L. Jones, of Santa Barbara, Calif., is making some wonderful strides, and we expect her to outdistance a number of others who are in the race to win the Reo Phaeton. Votes are flocking in to her credit. Miss Theresa Young has given good account of herself, and says she wants that Reo, and won't stop getting votes until the last minute. Eagle's Contest Ends in Seven Short Days SEVEN MORE DAYS—then the question will be answered as to who will win the $1,795.00 Reo Six Phaeton Automobile and all the other big and valuable prizes to be given away by The California Eagle. Next Saturday night, December 5th, at 10 o'clock sharp is the last minute of the now famous $4,000.00 Grand Prize Distribution. The time that all the candidates have been working for is almost here—the fatal moment whereby someone will be made just $1,795.00 richer not to consider the glory and honor that goes with the winning of such a superb prize. Even to the disinterested outsider it is apparent that every one of the "live wire" workers is redoubling his or her efforts in the final dash for supremacy and rich rewards. The vote standings are mounting higher and higher. The fight is at white heat—the rivalry is intense and the battle is bringing out surprising ability among the best hustlers who ever competed for an award. The best man or woman is going to win, but so far the race is so hotly contested that it will never be known until the last minute who has been the most successful. Last Big Vote Days After this Saturday night at 9 o'clock, the lowest vote of the entire campaign goes into effect. Now you can get votes in the Double Quick—up to Saturday night, December 1st, at (Continued on Page Five) This coupon, neatly clipped out, name and address of the candidate filled in, and mailed or delivered to the Campaign Department of The California Eagle, #23 Central Avenue, will count as 60 FREE VOTES. It does not cost anything to cast these coupons for your favorite candidate and you are not restricted in any sense in sending in votes. Do not fold or roll. Deliver coupons in flat packages. RECITES FACT THAT ANY PERSON ENTERING THE PREMISES MASKED OR IN DISGUISE IS SUBJECT TO FINE AND IMPRISONMENT IN STATE PENITIARY, ACCORDING TO LAW. Humpoldt, Tenn. Nov. (.—(Special)—On account of the formation of the Ku Khux Klan in Glisson County, Judge Thomas E. Harwood has charged his grand juries as follows: "You are further instructed by the statute in this state that if any person or persons in mask or disguise shall prowl or travel outside or walk thru the country or towns of this state, to the disturbance of the peace or to the alarm of the citizens or any portion of the state, upon conviction shall be fined not less than $100 or more than $500 and imprisonment in the county jail at the discretion of the jury trying the case. "It is further provided that if any person or persons in disguise or in mask by day or night, shall enter the premises another, it shall be prima facie evidence that his or her intention was to commit a felony and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than ten or more than twenty years, and that if any person while so prowling, traveling masked and in disguise, assault another with a deadly weapon, he or she shall be deemed guilty of an assault with attempt to commit murder in the first degree and shall be punished with death or with imprisonment for not less than ten nor more than twenty-one years, and these acts the court is required to give you in charge. "It is likewise a violation of the law for any person, whether in disguise or masked or not to do any of the things before enumerated to the disturbance of the peace, or the alarming of the citizens of any portion of the state, or for the purpose of injuring or destroying the property, or for the intimidation of any of the citizens of the state in any form or manner, and the punishment is is a fine and imprisonment. "This is a brief epitome of our statutes on this subject and should it become material in your deliberations to have before you these acts, call on the attorney-general, who will furnish you with the same. "In the midst of great unrest and disturbed conditions of any civilized country there is always a disposition to originate and prescribe all manner of nostrums or panaceas to overcome the fruits that follow in the wake of such chaotic conditions. Christianity or civilization has never been furthered or forwarded by means of any secret political or secret religious orders, and never will be, as history reveals. The ongoing of Christianity and civilization is retarded by secret organizations and infiltral to the teaching of the Master in both the Old and New Testaments. That vice and crime may be or seem to be rampant, is in my judgment, the legitimate outgrowth of the indifference and moral cowardice of those whose duties as good citizens it has even been to fight it in the open and help enforce the laws and not violate them. "If the well-meaning organizations because of such purpose receive public approval and exemption from the consequences of violated law, it then becomes impossible to restrain the lawless, and vicious, and why should not this be the logical result?"—Nashville Banner. OPPRESSION DISINTEGRATES THE OPPRESSED By: WILLIAM PICKENS This is certainly the result of oppression beyond a certain point of oppressiveness. We often say of the oppressed, "They don't stick together—they are not united. They quarrel too much among themselves—they are jealous of each other; well, they are all inferior." It is simple for those who are not being oppressed to denounce those "weaknesses" in the oppressed. Ten years ago the proud and mighty German might have said to the Negroes of Georgia and Alabama, "You people are being oppressed, and yet you bicker and fight among yourselves. If we were in your place, we would all stick together." But in 1923 we see the Germans under the oppressive heel of France, and killing more of each other than the French kill. The extreme oppression has simply disintegrated their society, and the forces which formerly pulled together are now pulling apart and against each other. They are either scattered or antagonistic. And what ever difference there is, is in favor of the American Negro; for the German has had five years of oppression, while the Mississippi Negro has had about three hundred and five. To picture the ultimate effect of extreme oppression, imagine a block of wood, a section of tree trunk, subjected a lineal pressure in a vice or under a hydraulic press. As the pressure is gradually applied, it will at first only demonstrate the cohesiveness of the fibres and wood structure; they will resist the pressure at their ends, they will resist rupture, they will support each other. NOMINATION BLANK IN THE "EVERYBODY WINS" CAMPAIGN I Hereby Enter and Cast 5,000 Votes For— Miss (Mrs. or Mr.): Address As a Candidate in The California Eagle Grand Prix Prize Distribution NOTE: Only One Nomination Blank accepted for each candidate nominated. WOULD OUST SAN DIEGO NEGRO FIREMAN Objection to Negroes being located as firemen at the Kearnan street fire station was made to the common council this morning when a bulky petition setting forth the objections was filed. The objectors say Logan Heights is a residence district and that the location of colored firemen there will result in Negro residents moving in, resulting in "injury and damage to and dissatisfaction of the white residents." The petitioners also declare that the station is located in the immediate vicinity of one of the largest junior high schools in the city and that "perhaps the most important reason why a colored crew should not be maintained, at this fire station is that it is located right in the immediate vicinity of one of the largest graded schools and one of the largest junior high schools in the city, and that it is a well-known fact, as everyone will concede, that children naturally look upon policemen and firemen in their uniforms as men of higher rank and dignity than the average human beings, and such an impression in young But as the pressure passes beyond a certain point, those fibres will burst away from one another and begin to bulge out. The fibre that at first strengthened and stiffened its neighbor, now pushes its neighbor out. Formerly friendly fibres now become enemies. Their proximity, which was their power, is now their weakness. Each splinter and fibre becomes, as it were, an ally of the pressure that would destroy all of them; while that pressure pushes at their disintegrated ends, they in turn push each other. In the Ruhr some Germans are helping the French. In Georgia and in "Liberty Hall" in Harlem, some Negroes are helping the Ku Klux. But man has one possible advantage over the wood fibres and splinters, if he will use the advantage: Man can think, and, as a result of thought, can will and even reverse his actions. The wood fibres and splinters will go on disintegrating under the action of the blind, inexorable natural forces. But when a group of men find themselves disintegrating under the hostile forces of oppression, if they brains enough they may call in the super-force of intellect, take heed to their ways, reverse their tendencies—and RE-INTEGRATE! minds, is right and proper, as conducting to good citizenship and patriotism." The petitioners also say: "To place a colored police force in the vicinity of these schools, or a colored crew of firemen is plainly an unwary, unpatriotic and shortsighted act when viewed from the proper point, and is contrary to the best interests of the community, the city and state. To place a colored crew there is unfair, both to the firemen as a body, of the police department, as well as to the city as a whole. The influence of such a move is far reaching and tends to form race prejudices, embatterments and quarrels, resulting eventually in race wars, such as afflicted our national capital only a few months ago, and which arose, we believe, from just such unwise action as that of elevating colored men to conspicuous places in white communities. "The races cannot assimilate, and it is always best to keep them as much apart as possible, and especially is it desirable that race prejudice and quarrels should not be propagated in schools by the establishment of institutions in the immediate proximity thereto that will tend to produce the unhappy conditions that everyone knows eventually will arise where the races are thrown into contact." The petition has been in circulation since November 5th, and as filed contained the names of about 400 residents of Logan Heights. "Lost Beaut yof Japan" The above was the subject, of a most charming and illuminating address by Mrs. Estelle Lawton Lindsay, journalist, humanitarian and world-traveler, at the meeting of the Sojourner Truth Club last Monday afternoon. Mrs. Lindsay visited the Island Empire just before the recent devastating earthquake and her discourse, from the historic and geographic viewpoints was an intellectual treat, greatly enjoyed by an enthusiastic attendance of members and guests. CHIEF SPEAKS Chief of Police, August Vollmer's appearance before the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance o nlast Monday morning was the occasion for a large gathering of citizens from all walks of life. His address was straight from the shoulder and the sentiments expressed met the harty approval of th organization, which immediately without a dissenting vote gvae the Chief a vote of thanks and assured him of co-operation to the limit.

The pastor preached at both services; the presence of the Holy Spirit was in evidence; the large congregation and visitors apparently were benefited for coming out to the Church. The pastor was delighted to see so many visitors present and the liberal response to the invitation of the trustees added to the pleasure of the day. Come and see us. Come and imbibe some of the spiritual atmosphere that characterizes the services and worship in the Mission. The pastor extends a cordial invitation to all. WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 1252 East 26th St. B. M. Gay, Pastor Services at this church last Sunday were encouraging. The Sunday School was well attended, good order and offering commendable.

Both Endeavors were well attended, and had good lessons. At night Rev. Bryant spoke to a mixed congregation from the text, "War, a good Warfare." One person came forward and united with the church. Next Sunday will be general class and Sacrament Day. Come and worship with us. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH— 9th and San Julian Sts.

More than four hundred people are expected at the communion service. The pastor will preach both morning and evening. A great spiritual treat is in store for all. Wesley promises helpful preaching, inspiring singing and a general good fellowship to all who worship with us. Come and see. SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA November 25, 1923 Providence made it possible for Rev. Wade to spend the day with the pastor and members of Calvary Baptist Church last Sunday. The members of Calvary are able to tell Southern California that whenever this doctrinal gemma visits a local church, he does so with rolled up sleeves and unsheated sword! Thus he works in every departmental division of the Church, Keeping Christ and His cause before the people. He preached both morning and evening, with such inspired cloquence that the pastor was tempted to ask for both sermons in writing. The services were well attended. Rev. FRANK JONES, Pastor BETHEL BAPTISH CHURCH Y. M. C. Al-Sth and Hemlock Sts Rew. H. D. Prowd. Pastor Our Sunday School essLon "Christian Missionaries" was most profitably discussed by all present.

At the close our noble sisters, assisted by the men had their concluding conference for Thanksgiving dinner. At night our B. Y. P. U. was in regular session and all enjoyed the excellent program. The pastor again preached on the subject of Thanksgiving, using Psalm 117—"O, Praise the Lord all ye nations: Praise Him all ye people, for His Merciful Kindness is great toward us; and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord." There was great rejoicing over our Sister Gallierson who comes back to us fully restored to health. We invite all to our services—Come praying for a blessing.

Music By HEATER BLACK & TAN ORCHESTRA N. D. THOMPSON IS VICTIM OF FALSE RUMORS SEGREGATED SCHOOL QUESTION NAILED AS FALSEHOOD Quite a furore was in evidence during the past week when the rumor was prevalent in and about the city that Noah D. Thompson, well-known employee of the Daily Express was circulating a petition for separate schools. Of course with Thompson coming up with a lead of this kind would naturally perturb those who have known his stand for race progress in this and other communities in which he has resided. To prevent any quibbling or passing of the buck, Thompson wrote Mrs. Dorsey, Supt. of Public Sshools and her answer dispels the cloud and all may know first hand that Thompson stands innocent of the charge of maneuvering for separate schools. November 24, 1923. Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey, For several weeks it has been rumored that a petition is being circulated for the purpose of changing our school system. The change, according to the rumor, would separate the children of African descent from all other children attending Los Angeles public schools. In other words: special or separate schools for Colored children. A reply from you to this, communication will, I am sure, set it ease many minds that are disturbed by the rumor referred to. With all good wishes for the success of your work, I am. Sincerely yours, NOAH D. THOMPSON. LOS ANGELES CITY SCHOOLS. 241 Security Building. In reply to your letter of inquiry of November 24th, stating that a rumor is abroad that a petition is being circulated, for the purpose of changing the school system in the matter of segregation of colored children, permit me to say that I have heard of no such rumor, nor have I heard of any such plan. Very truly yours, MRB. SUSAN M. DORSEY, Superintendent. ```markdown ``` Los Angeles, California. My dear Mrs. Dorsey: Mr. Noah D. Thompson, Editorial Department. The Evening Express. My dear Mr. Thompson: ```markdown ``` TIMELY SUGGESTION [Editor's Not] The following article penned by Mrs. Danley to our mind is a very timely suggestion. We are pleased from time to time to give publicity to those who would venture a thought on the things worth while. Editor of the Eagle: While listening to Mrs. Bass' eloquent remarks, at the Independent Church of Christ Sunday evening, and the rehearsal of woman's achievement; the opportunities that yet lie before her; especially the suggestion of a "Woman's Vigilant Committee" to relieve her tense situation of Central Ave., it brought to my mind a very happy idea. Now, before I mention it, I hope I will not, be one of those who is much maligned every time a new idea is presented for what they think is for the betterment, that they are for segregation. A Park adjacent to Central Ave. is one of the most urgent needs. There are and always will be people who prefer to be in the open, with only the canopy of the heavens. Some may say it would encourage loafing. No more than Pershing Square or the Plaza, where hundreds of men sit day, after day reading or they wile away the time watching the mass of humanity go by. Then, too, Pershing Square is too far from the Eastside. Why not have a place between Ninth and Twelfth, where the congestion seems to be the greatest! It is hard to convince the unfortunate who has nowhere to go that he or she is a nuisance. Those who have their homes can have their pleasure and recreation in them. They may show little sympathy, and yet the unfortunate has as great a human instinct for recreation as they. There must be concrete action. A convenient Park in that vicinity and a section reserved for women, children and their escorts would greatly solve the perplexing problem. If the women would like to do some feal constructive work, I submit this project for their approval. MRS. MARY B. DANLEY, 502 Garfield Avenue, Pasadena, California. ANOTHER TIMELY THOUGHT Dear Madam: This week at the Orpheum are four colored entertainers, dance artists and unexcelled. Boost them through your paper. That arouses interest among people of your race and in time gets the management of the show houses to showing a little more concern. Possibly in time more courtesy will WHO IS QUEEN TO CHICAGO'S MAY BALL? THIS QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED AT THE ABOVE PLACE ON SAID DATE WHEN THE SEALED BALLOT BOX WILL BE OPENED IN FULL VIEW OF THE PUBLIC AND THE VOTES COUNTED BY A COMMITTEE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE, TO BE HEADED BY MR. J. B. BASS. THE MUSICIAN LEONA SMITH be shown and instead of shoving the purchaser of a ticket away off in an undesirable seat he will be given the same recognition as other folks. That's what I have been trying to effect in my own peculiar way. I have seen a result already. If the colored people would demand certain seats they would get them, but to do that they must be procured ahead of time generally. I have the same seat in the balcony at the Orpheum every week and prefer it to any in the house. B C. D, 15, 17, 19 and across the isle on the opposite side cannot be equaled. If this is known and those seats secured this unjust prejudice might in a measure be overcome, but it remains for the people themselves to stand for their rights. No one, white, black, yellow or nidigo can stand aside with his thumb in his mouth and not expect to be walked on. We have more colored entertainers traveling now than has ever been known. They are not recognized by the press though as they should be. They are barely mentioned if spoken of at all while the merits of their offerings far outclass most of the others. MYRA R. COLLINS. P. S.: Here sometime back we scarcely knew of a book in the library by a colored writer until we commenced in an underhanded method to calling attention, when books were unearthed none of us had ever heard about. No wonder prejudice exists when people are kept in ignorance. San Diego is to have a new Tabernacle when the Bethel Baptist Church structure is completed.

Eagle Reporter Interviews Mr. Sylvester Stewart Despite the fact that two places of business owned by Mr. Stewart were situated in the business block destroyed by fire in Tia Juana last Friday, we found Mr. Stewart far from being downcast over his loss. On the contrary, he announced his plan to rebuild his places at once, and a host of friends whom Mr. Stewart has made by his generosity and spirit of good fellowship are greatly pleased to learn of his intention. While a man of the world and a purveyor of pleasure, Mr. Stewart yet manifests those characteristics that find favor in the eyes of the Master—love for his aged mother, charity for the needy, loyal comradeship for his friends, and while the writer longs to see the day when Mr. Stewart will acknowledge the Christ who has spared him—the many days, we confidently await the day when this will be so, and meanwhile join with many others in the wish that good fortune may ever befall one who shares it so lavishly with others! The Federated Clubs are doing a great work in California, and an inspiring and interesting meeting was held last Thursday evening at Bethel A. M. E. Church, with Mrs. L. J. Knight in the chair. A delightful program was rendered when business has been disposed of, with Mrs. Grace good as mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Harper, our San Diego songbird, thrilled her audience with a marvelous performance. Mrs. Snowden also rendered a solo which was received with enthusiasm. The piece-de-resistance of the evening was a paper, written by Mrs. Harriet Marshall and rad by Mrs. Dodge. Mrs. Marshall is a lady SS years of age, and the paper was a masterpiece of construction and style. It is well worth publication, and to have heard it read was a rare treat. After visiting relatives and friends in Los Angeles, Mother Coffeld is back in harness, and announces that she is ready to put over a great program for the Master.

Dort and our McLees will please accept thanks for their subscriptions to Ye Soaring Eagle! Construction started, November 27 on the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.

Chas. DeMann, one of the members of Troop 16, Boy Scouts, was run down and injured by an automobile last week. He is getting along nicely at this time, at the hospital. Scouts are asked to remember the scout laws, in the California Eagle's vote campaign. The manager said he would be glad to old me, if the project were endorsed by a certain member of the Race.

A huge crowd was present and enjoyed the offerings as never before. It was a crowd of typical fight fans and appreciating as they do the real exhibition of the manly art of self defense, they came away well satisfied. The Bouts As a curtain raiser The Black Mask vs; Young Ford, weight 150 pounds, right off the reel keyed the fans up to the highest pitch and fought four rounds of all action. The decision was close in favor of Young Ford. Second Bout Johnnie Alexander vs. Joe Row (White). This bout was by two clever boys weighing 126 pounds. The old master, Johnnie Alexander, met his match and was declared the loser. Two clever boys made the going seem too tame for the fans and they failed to receive a heavy hand. Third Go Eddie Morton vs: One Round Norman. 145 pounds. Bigh Colored. This go was full of action. One Round Norman had things all his own way for the first round and likewise the second until he ran into a haymaker and went down for the count of ten. Norman made a big protest at the count and claimed that he was on his feet at the count of ten. If he was, he was too groggy to go on with the fight. He lost fain and square. Fourth Battle Kid Blondie vs: Lee Ros (white) weight 115 pounds. This was a go worth while. Any battle in which Blondie fights can always be depended on as one with plenty of action. He is extremely popular with the fans. Lee Ros proved to be a tough bird but Blonde put him on ice by out boxing and out slugging him all the way, as a matter of fact Blondie had his man all but out in all of the last three rounds of fighting. Blondie got the decision. Semi Wind Up Young Lang Langford vs: Young Lang (white). Young Lang was a set up for Sam who laid for his wild rushes and swings. Young Lang managed to stick two rounds and was knocked out in the third round. The Main Event Sunny Jim vs. Joe McKenna (white). When Announcer, Billy Donaldson introduced these two fighters and McKenna hailed from Dallas, Texas, bedlam broke loose and every human seemed to want the Texan to lose. He had been touted as a hard nut and this only made the bout more interesting as Sunny Jim is a known quantity in these parts and his equal as a fighting piece of machinery are few and far between. The Battle Is On Sunny Jim steps out, McKenna looks fit as a fiddle as they spar for an opening, in fact with his long reach he looked extremely dangerous and he really did land some good jabs to Sunny Jim's face. Sunny was cool and collected and set about his task in a methodical manner. He put the big Texan down for the count of six in this round and it was Sunny's round by a wide margin. Round Two. Sunny started right into finish the job and with right and lefts he punished his man severely and with two knock downs to his credit he put on the finishing touch and put him down and out. This was the cause for another demonstration by the fans who swarmed into the ring and performed all sorts of antics finishing up by carrying Sunny Jim to the dressing room on their shoulders. Heard About the Ring. Art Collins is giving eminent satisfaction as a referee and keeps things moving right along. He is the right man in the right place. Ted Frenchie says that with two more fights in this section he will move on Portland looking for big game. Bobby Pierce, the clever middle-weight says that he will open the eyes of the fans in his next start and will retrieve all his lost prestige for his poor showing sometime back in the go with Lightning Davis. With Mack House and Young George in the main event on next Wednesday night, the Arena should be packed. All know Mack House's prowess in the ring and Young George goes some himself. There will be plenty of action in this bout. R. W. Baker and his friend from New York are still ardent ringers. Somebody must keep right close to Dr. B. A. to keep him posted as to when a blow is landed. Boats Hines the old regulator is making a reputation as time keeper, second to that of no other person who serves in a like capacity. TENNIS CHATTER FOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR FRISCO IN 1923 CLAIM; DAVID SANDS, HOLLY McCLELLAND, LEE PURNELL AND MISS VICTORIA SOHEY, CANDIDATES By William Mells Watson. A communication from up around the fog belt outlines just how profusely we Southerners will be wined, dined and entertained by members of the Racquette Club of Oakland next July 4, when our four champions invade the North for the annual hostilities at Golden Gate Park and incidentally it was also stated that at least a quartet of the eight crownships will be dropped in the bay district.—(?) Their Argument Lee Purnell's showing here Labor Day by winning te men's doubles If You Fail To Read THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE You May Never Know It Happened championship and giving Bal Kemp an awful battle for the singles crown demonstrated clearly, that he is at least the second best recketer on the coat now and with the anticipated improvement, who will beat him next year? Miss Shorey Also. Notwithstanding Victoria Bhorey's failure against great odds here, she nevertheless is the queen of the North in singles, doubles and mixed doubles the same as eis Juliaett Harris here, and when playing on her home lot as the writer can testify is almost unbeatable and is likely to spring a surprise on somebody. The Berkeley Student Of this college boy David Sandz and Holly McClelland, we know of them only on paper, but young David is said to play rings around Purnell and McClelland is Lee's equal, so there is little doubt that we are due a cleaning next year.

The first shock came when Morvich, who turf writers hailed as greater than Man c' War, the retired king of race horses, tailed to come through as a wonder and added more poor souls of the betting hope to the endless chain than any ten race horses. Wall Street and the Chicago Stock Exchange combined. Morvich filled the woods full of hopefuls that never will come back. There is a peculiar sentiment about a horse player from other speculators. Sentiment is against him from the start, when they fail and draw checks on their employers' accounts. He is prosecuted to the limit of the law. On the other hand, the oil fool sometimes gets a lease on life. Sometimes these suckers win. Horse players never win. No man can beat the game of horse racing betting on them Upset Over There Another line of real sport, second only to horse racing. That's boxing. The idol of two continents slipped the public the biggest upset it has ever had, from the ring standpoint. No other than Georges Carpentier's defeat by Battling Siki threw a Black Friday in the money ring of promotors of boxers. One in particular, Jack Kearns, the manager of the champion, Jack Dempsey. Carpentier was the set affair that Kearns had put in camphor to pull off another killing in Paris that meant almost a half million dollars. It's the old story of a greedy manager with Carpentier trying the old American trick, commercializing his champion setup and easy marks for the money that was in it. The sport end of the game never crossed his mind. When Siki first challenged Carpentier about a year ago, it was a laugh. Siki was not taken seriously by ring experts. But matters took their own change; without the aid of the press, Siki became the public's choice. When Carpentier's manager saw that a showdown had to come from Siki's challenge, he used the old American trick—drew the color line. This was about the worst thing he could have done in France against another French subject. The press and public jumped on hif with both feet. Carpentier's manager held his head on figures, and saw that Carpentier would get every cent that came at the agte, except what the government got, and thinking that all Siki would receive would be a good licking. The moving picture hogs got in on the big deal. It was ill framed that Carpentier should food along with the easy mark, Siki., it seven rounds. When finished, it was so strong that the American and Canadian rights were sold. It became a fad to drive out to see Carpentier pull off his dress rehearsal. Every afternoon it cost more for seats to see him train than it did to see the real contest. It never crossed his mind, or the minds of his friends that Siki had a ghost of a chance. There were all kinds of rumors flying around Parthi that Siki was not training. The fight was fixed, the sure thing. Bottles were offering as high as 10 to 1 against Siki. The moneyed people and classes were with Carpentier, but the masses were with Siki. Frenchmen are the greatest gamblers in the world, on horse racing, roulette, etc., but don't care to bet on prize fighting. The contest worked up so much interest that it was made an event. The races were postponed for the fight. The largest paying crowd ever known in France turned out. As many people were turned away from the gate as were admitted. Then came one of the ring's biggest upsets. Carpentier as usual did his torcedor stuff to the ladies' delight. It looked at first as if the show would be run off according to specifications. When Carpentier knocked Siki down the first time, the specially selected referee, Carpentier's best friend, made Siki get up, advised Carpentier to be careful or he would spoil the billion-dollar moving picture. Siki seemed to be taking the whole thing as a joke, until he got angry in the third round. It's needless to go through it all. What's more, Siki but Carpentier out of the running for life in the history of this late day of the ring. No champion was ever beaten up so badly as Carpentier. He lost his championship, beauty and the best wishes of the people of France. SPORT Edward Shaw, William Stoar and O. Dials again proved their athletic ability by placing in the annual tract meet at Riverside Saturday. Shaw placed second in the 440, and High Jumps. Stoar received second in the 100 and 220 yard dash. Dial, third in the century. William Bratton was elected captain of the High eleven. Bratton was the lad that played fullback on the Y squad that defeated Pasadena last year. William (Speed) Narcisse was elected captain of the midgets. Narcisse will be the signal caller. The selection of these skillful men will insure victory for the 'Y' squads. Altho the first team has not been picked this will probably be the line up: Harris and Hurd, ends; R. Johnson and L. Johnson, tackles; Banks, guard; George Johnson, center; The backfield; Bratton, fullback; Dials, quarterback; Diggs, right half and L. Dye left half. Substitutes (Narcissus for Dials) (B. Jackson for Bratton.) The L. A. Times gave George Johnson a very good write up Thursday. Johnson was declared the individual star in the Hollywood and Poly lightweight game. Johnson plays fullback. COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL NEWS K. Wallace G. Duncan During the past week Ralph Bunch has shown great improvement and will resume his studies at the University next week. His physician allowed him out Sunday. Sunday evening he was reported to have been seen on (17 Street.) It is reported that at the Washington institution, two young men engaged in a pistol combat. One of these handsome lad's face was bruised very badly. There has been so many rumors as to this misunderstanding, the editors will make no attempt to solve this affair. "That fellow Melvin comes here too much," Said a certain father grim; We'll have to put a stop to that, You must set down on him. She is a very obedient girl— Respects her parental powers; So when this dub came around again She sat on him an hour. During the first semester, Miss Margaret Carter will attend school only part time. She is a gtudent at the Blue and White institution.

Morris Harris, inventor of the Harris Safety-First Check System, comes true and he receives from the United States government the copyright and patent for which he has applied. The safety method by Harris consists of a coupon attachment which must appear on each check to assure the person receiving it that the amount of the check is on deposit at the bank indicated. The coupon bears a serial number furnished by the bank and is given the depositor in various denominations for use on checks to be drawn. The "Safety-First" method, according to Harris, will prevent one from overdrawing by check, because when there are no coupons on hand, there are no funds in the bank to the credit of the check maker.

C., where he exhibited his checking scheme to the head of the government patent office and others in the government service for the purpose of obtaining the government recommend the system to the national banks of the country.

HIGH LIGHTS IN MASONRY RINCE HAEL GRAND LODGE OF MASSACHUSETTS NOT RECOG NIZED BY THE GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND. Eternal vigilance is the watch word. In order to protect our organization from contact and contamination with spurious, irregular, unwarranted and clandestine bodies, measures have been instituted to safeguard, as effectively as possible, the fierce Rites and Beneficent Purposes to which it was ordained. It becomes an insult to the dignity of the Craft and effrontery to the intelligence of those who constitute its membership to have these falge standards continually set up for our guidance, done especially by those who know little or nothing of Masonic history, written or unwritten. If it be true that the Grand Lodge of England did grant a charter to African Lodge No. 459, at Boston, Mass., on September 29th, 1784, and, if this same African Lodge organized the African Grand Lodge of Modern Masons of Massachusetts on the 44th of June, 1791, (which now is the Prince-Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts) we ask: what was the matter, cause and reason that the Grand Lodge of England failed and refused to recognize the Prince-Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts? No one will gainsay or deny that the attitude of the Grand Lodge of England proves beyond peradventure of a doubt that they (it) had never issued Masonic Credentials to such a body as that one claimed to be. We realize that it is hard for a man to surrender what has been to him a fond hope and a cherished illusion, but in face of facts, historical data, specific instances of chronology, all this Masonic speculation and conjecture must fade away and clear the road for the development of those true spirits of Masonry as set down by the founders of the Craft. TWO WHITE MASONIC GRAND LODGES IN ENGLAND. ONE ORGANIZED IN 926 AND THE OTHER ORGANIZED IN 1739. The first Grand Lodge organized among the white Masons of England was organized at the city of York, England, in the year of 926, and the second white Grand Lodge of England was organized at London, Eung land, in the year of 1739. (See Mag- aysa Encyclopedia of Masonry; also Mitchell's History of Freemasonry; see the Voice of Freemasonry, published in Chicago, in the month of June, 1867.) The members that composed the second white Grand Lodge of England when it was organized in 1739 was made up of expelled Masons from the first Grand Lodge of England that was organized in the year 926, and the second irregular and unlawful Grand Lodge of England that was organized at London, England, in the year of 1739 is the same Grand Lodge. R. Holt was DEPUTY GRAND MASTER and WILLIAM WHITE was the Grand Secretary. It was from this second irregular and unlawful Grand Lodge of England that the African Lodge No. 459 claims that it secured its charter. If, in all fairness, the Grand Lodge of England granted a charter to African Lodge No. 459, at Boston, Mass., it being a clandestine Grand Lodge, it would follow beyond all dispute that African Lodge No. 459, at Boston, Mass., was unlawful and clandestine. It has been said by the Grand Lodge of England that they (it) did not grant a charter to African Lodge 459, at Boston, Mass. The author of these articles would have it thoroughly understood that he is prompted by the friendliegt feelings for those who may differ with his expressions exhibited in these writings. The day has come when make-shifts and pseudos must give way to the dominant facts of our historians, in whose opinions we are led to know that there are those who, by their innovations in Masonry differ somewhat from the ancient origin, and would have the public believe that to maintain a separate lodgeg of Masons here is contrary to Masonic Law and customs; we admit the correctness of such view, but for many of the fixed and peculiar customs of North America to exclude some nationalities from certain rights and privileges because of their race, color or conditions, their claiming flat at the feet of the lawgivers as absurd. THE SYMBOL A. F. & A. M. ARE NOT ARBITRARY SIGNS THEY HAVE A REAL SIGNIFICANCE. The words A. F. & A. M. mean ANCIENT, FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS, which words and title are of ancient orgin and should be used and adopted by every well-regulated Masonic subordinate lodge and Grand Lodge in this country, the entire world for that matter.

John A. Bell, the most worshipful, John A. Bell Sovereign Grand Lodge, et al. Plaintiffs, vs: The Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, et al., Defendants. No. 180. (Copy) At a session of the circuit court for the county of Washtenaw held in the city of Ann Arbor on Tuesday, the 8th day of August, A. D. 1922. The above entitled case, coming on to be heard upon the Bill of Complaint filed the same, and the said plaintiff by his counsel having offered no proof in support of his bill, and the case proceeding on the defendant-s cross-bill; and the court having heard the testimony and the arguments of counsel and being fully advised in the premiges, does find the following state of facts: That the said plaintiff, John'A. Bell, having been lawfully expelled from a regularly constituted Lodge of Colored Masons for the State of Michigan and the said John A. Bell never having been restored to Masonry by the authority which expelled him, that he is not, and can never be, a regular Mason in any organization whatsoever until he has been so restored. And the Court further finds that any organization that he appears to be the head of is fraudulent and fraudently organized. NOW, therefore, the court doth Order, Adjudge and Bequeare that the gald plaintiffs, John A. Bell, the Most Worshipful John A. Bell Sovereign Grand Lodge, and any and all persons acting under him or his organizations or by their authority be, and the same are, permanently restrained from holding themselves out as Masons or from wearing the badge, buttons, emblems, decorations or insignals of a Mason; that each of them is further permanently enjoined from adopting or using the name of Masons in associating with any other name or any derivative thereof and from claiming to be a member of any benevolent or charitable organization or corporation that uses the name of Masons that may deceive persons not members of the Masonic Order." George W. Sample, Judge for the County of Wagtenaw. Now in so far as the legality of Colored Masons in the United States of America (and California) is concerned, we are the holders of the last will and testament, in black and white, for Masonic recognition from the most distinguished Masonic authority on earth, which is indisputable evidence of Masonic legality.
