POLICE OFFICER SLAIN TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 LUTHER BRYANT RUNS AMUCK SLAYS WELL KNOWNAND POPULAR OFFICER ALSO J. A. GILMORE VOLUME 38 POI LUTHER BRYAN SLAYS WELL KNOWNA ALSO J. A. Officer E. R. Robinson On last Sunday evening between 10:30 and 11 P. M. on the corner of Ninth and Hooper Avenue, occured one of the most tragic affairs which has ever occured in the city. After the smoke of battle had cleared away it was discerned that Officer F. E. Corley and A. J. Gillmore had been fatally wounded and Officer S. R. Robinson seriously wounded. To a great extent the shooting is surrounded with mystery as to how it happened and the causes leading up to the same. Even the inquest failed to clear up the tragedy. However it is certain and sure that Luther Bryant did shoot and kill both Officer Corley and Mr. Gillmore and wounded Tim Robinson, and how any coroner's jury could bring in a verdict of self-defense is an enigma and has brought down upon that jury the wrath and indignation of the people generally. It is commented on more perhaps because all the jurors were of the same group and some take it as a reflection upon the integrity of a race for a coroner's jury to be so stupid as to bring forth a verdict where one man takes another's gun and shoots him three times, kills two other men and the evidence produced disclosed those facts and yet they come forth with a verdict of killing in self defense. Of all the travesties on justice and misunderstanding of their duties this jury without doubt takes the prize. The names of the jurors are: W. H. Smith, foreman; B. Harris; A. Johner; A. Moore Shearin; G. W. Hardiman and Henry Hart. The inquest was held Monday at 1:30 at the Connor-Johnson Funeral Parlors with the result as noted above. Bryant, however, was not freed but the officers held him for the grand jury which has his case under consideration at this writing. As Revealed At The Coroner's Inquest The evidence disclosed the presence in Pierson's Drung Store Corner of 12th and Hooper Avenue a party of mostly professional men and who were it seems, intruded upon by the slayer Luther Bryant, just a friendly even roll of dice was participated in generally with the exception of Officer Corley. "I'm Tired Of Lem's Foolishness" With a smoking 6 shooter in her hand, Mrs. Alice Johnson, 1146 East 12th Street, when apprehended after sending three bullets into the body of Lem Brown, her paramour, said: "I'm tired of Lem's foolishness, and to this writing that is all that she has said. In the meanwhile Lemuel Johnson, 21 years of age lies in the morgue at the Angelus Funeral parlors for he died before reaching the receiving Hospital. Coroner's inquest. At the coroner's inquest held yesterday the testimony developed that she was a sweetheart of Brown's and Brown was in the act of moving his trunk from her home when she shot him. It was manifest that her love for Brown was not unlike that brand of love known as "dying love". Mrs. Williams proved the star witness at the trial. Mrs. Willaims is the owner of the flat where the killing occurred and told a straight forward story on the stand. Sh ewas the first Dr. Darrington Weaver, well-known local physician, was the most prominent witness and testified to the fact that he went to the drug store with a party of friends and after a time, went away leaving the party with which he came. After a time he started to return to the estore and approaching the same he came upon officer Tim Robinson arrested in the street; Robinson told him that he Robinson had been plugged three times, but not to mind him but to look after Corley who was hurt worse than he. Dr. Weaver then turned his attention to Corley who was lying not far away. The doctor then loaded both of them inthe machine and brought them to the receiving hospital, Corley died on the way there. Frank Griffin's testimony corroborated that of Dr. Weaver. He also testified that officer Corley did not participate in the game and was not in uniform. That he himself (Griffin) did not play because he had no money to play with. Lleut. of Detectives, Kimbrough read Bryant's statement in press of Captains of Detectives Glenn and Cline as follows: Dr. Ward, Mr. Gillmore, Officers Corley, Roberson, and Dr. Smithherman were in Dr. Smithherman's car. He said that he told them that they did not treat him right. That Roberson said, get away from here or I will kick your head off. He Bryant, replied that was a — lie, and Roberson struck him, they clinched and fell to the ground together. Roberson dropped his gun: Bryant picked it up and commenced shooting. After firing six shots, ran south on Hooper to 14th to Long Beach to 16th St., and to the 1700 block on Hooper to a friend's huse where he telephoned the police and surrendered. Captain Glenn testified that he and Captain Cline took Bryant to see A. J. Gillmore. Bryant said that is the man I shot, that Gillmore proffered his hand to Bryant saying: Buddy I am dying and you shot me and I did not shoot at you as I never owned a gun in my life. person on the scene after the shooting. Her story was corroborated by other witnesses. The coroner's jury composed of all colored citizens promptly returned a verdict of shooting with intent to kill, which charge constitutes murder. Deputy coroner Green conducted the inquest. The District Attorney's office was represented by Captain Hunter, while Attorney Towson Grasty represented the deendant. Lieut. of Detectives Chas. S. Broady represented the police department and assembled the evidence for the District Attorney. The following persons served as jurors: C. Robinson, foreman; Will Geary; J. H. Henderson; A. R. Lewis; Will Jackson; J. A. Worthan; George Hobson; C. Phillips. FOR SALE To responsible parties THE HUMMING BIRD CAFE With all of its beautiful furnishings.

Zion Church, John Wesley Church, 14th and Corcoran Sts., N. W., Washington, D. C. Rev. H. T. Meford, Editor Washington, D. C.—The Bureau of Public Affairs, inaugurated at the recent Central Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, with Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of Washington, D. C., as its head, sends out, in three weekly reease, an appeal to the ministers and laity o the church to subscribe, suppor and all Negro Newspapers. The Negro Church and the Negro Press must work together in the education of the race, not only in Religion, but in politics; in social dealings, in economics and in general uplift movements. The Bureau urges its constituency in particular and the race in general:— First—to read Negro Newspapers. Second—to create a demand for them at newsstands, in the Country and to sell Negro newspapers by asking for them, weekly. Third—to aid Negro editors to secure news of the race, its progress and ventures by becoming a voluntary reporter in your community. Expose injustice; tell of relationship between the races; give out important happenings and let the world know us through our own mediums. We are not in position, just yet, to become members of the great Press Associations of the world, but we are able to form a voluntary news gathering association among ourselves. No town should be without such a reporter. Fourth—to subscribe for Negro magazines. Fifth—we urge our ministers everywhere to emphasize from pulpits, the necessity of having Negro Newspapers in every Negro home. H. T. MEDFORD. Editor.

It was the most whole hearted demonstration that has ever been given a new arrival since the days of "Teddy" Roosevelt's long remembered visit to this city. The exit way of the Southern Pacific station was jammed with anxious friends long before the arrival of the overland limited, and when the star of "Steppin' High" emerged from the subway there was a cheer that must have startled the inhabitants of Mars. TWO BANDS Two Jazz bands added to the noisy welcome accorded the famous vocalist Record Star, the Royal Garden orchestra and Spikes. Brothers orchestra blared forth "California, here I Come," in true jazz ashion. Assemblyman Roberts Welcomes A Star After presenting Miss Myers with a most beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums, Assemblyman. Roberts welcomed the artist on behalf of the people of Los Angeles and then escorted her to her car. Hon. Asa Keyes triumphantly elected despite the spokesmanship of the hooded knights, Rev. Bob Schuler. An impromptu down Central Avenue with a score of machines in line followed. At Jefferson and Central a turn was made and the procession retraced its steps to Twelfth and Central with Miss Myers and the "Steppin' High" company which followed in a big buss being cheered along the entire line of march. It is a mystery how so many people learned the time of Miss Myers' arrival. The Royal Garden orchestra arrived entirely unannounced but they surely added to the success of the reception. In a short interview, Miss Myers highly compartmented the entire population of Los Angeles for their hospitality and expressed the wish that the entire population could come to hear her singing during the limited engagement of "Steppin' High" at Philharmonic Auditorium during the week of September 8th. Miss Myers surely need not worry because it is a surety that Philharmonic will probably be sold out a every performance if the seat sale continues at it's present rate. Everybody seems headed for Philharmonic and "Steppin' High." Card Of Appreciation Lo$_5$ Angeles, Calif., Aug., 27, 1924. Mrs. C. A. Bass, Editor The California Eagle 833 Central Avenue City.

Wheaton No.18 Chicago has recently entertained a notable gathering of Negro women representing every state in the United States. It was the bi-annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. That meeting represented the artistic culture, brains and morals of the women of our Race. We say represent, because they were sent there by the culture, brains and morals of the million or more women who compose the membership of the clubs. In reviewing the work accomplished by the Convention one marvels at the progress made, the obstacles overcome in the past two decades by the women of the Race. There has been no burden so heavy to make them forget their motto of "Lifting As We Climb" no obstacle has daunted their courage; they have swept them aside and with an optimism born of faith in the possibilities of the Race pioneered the way. Chicago will also entertain the Negre Business League. It is represented by the leading business men of the Race. But this editorial from the San Francisco Examiner will give you an idea of the importance attached to such a gathering: NEGRO LEAGUE The National Negro Business League convenes in Chicago. It was founded in 1900 by the great Booker T. Washington. Its session is significant. The Negro league has built upon the foundation which its greatest leader laid down. When the League was founded, there were only two banks in this entire country that were run by Negroes. Today there are 74. The league has laterly established a corporation capitalized at $1,000,000 to assist in the financing of reputable Negro enterprises. The principal enunciated by Booker Washington was this: "If the best plasterer, or the best carpenter in a community is a Negro, then that Negro will get the business." The colored man has learned that lesson. It was made needlessly hard for him by the white man; but he has learned it none the less. To advance the race, advance the individual—such is the policy; and the increasing greatness of the National Negro Business League and its ramifications is evidence that that policy is sound. 0—00—0 That editorial puts you 25 years ahead—young man and young woman. It means untold good to the race. Why? Because it will be read by thousands of people never reached by the journals or the orators of the Race! Of course while the increased number of banks can be used as a reading of the business barometer among us there are numerous other fields of endeavor that are beckoning on to further effort. We will not lose sight that, while the dollar is king, culture must not be neglected. We are sure that the most of the have read with pleasure the reply of President Coolidge to the "gentleman" from Binghamton who made protest against the candidacy of a Negro was running for a congressional nomination in a New York district. Two sentences stand out from the others and show the true spirit of writer and his conception of TRUE AMERICANISM, one of them reads thus: "Our constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens without discrimination on account of race or color." I have taken my oath to support that constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their better or race." Try as they will, the Klan issue will not be eliminated from the presidential campaign. It was one of the main contensions in the publicist primary contest in Texas which resulted in the election of Mrs. Ferguson, wife of the recently impeached governor of (Continued on Page M) --- Amusement ~ MOTION PICTURES ~ Drama Music DANCES ~ CONCERTS ~ PLAYS ~ COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES ~ CAFES ~ BEACHES- YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

CALIFORNIA EAGLE AUTOMOTIVE SECTION FOLLOWERS TIRE OF PAYING COURT COSTS New York City, Aug. 21.—The U. N. I. A. Convention is in full blast here. But evidences of its decaying are plentiful. In Philadelphia Dr. Lionel Francis has resigned as president of the Quaker City Division. Captain Gaines, Garvey's Army Commander, has also deserted the standard of the U. N. I. A. chief. Coupled with the recent indictment of the founder of Garveyism for perjury, the action of Francis of Philadelphia and Gaines has unsettled the following of the orkanization head. Reports come to New York that the whole U. N. I. A. is tootring. Members throughout the country are awakening to the fact that they are contributing more to Garvey's court costs than to creating a government. They express themselves as being tired of being called upon to finance the U. N. I. A. head's court tangles. Hundreds are turning away from the Garvey standard because they see nothing tangible being accomplished. Many assume a threatening attitude toward the West Indian. Garvey's explanation of his indictment for perjury is being ridiculed by many of his followers. He is charged with willfully choosing to enter politics as the head of the U. N. I. A. and advising his followers to do so throughout the country. Now that he is again in the toils of the law and blaming it on politics and Assistant District Attorney Mattucks, hosts of Garvey's loyal followers express their disgust with his policy and entire program. Predictions are being freely made that Marcus Garvey is nearing the end of his trail and that the entire U. N. I. A. organization is about to disintegrate.

J. WHEATON (Continued from page 1) the state who was barred from holding or running for any political office. Should Mrs. Ferguson be elected, which she undoubtedly will, the State of Texas will have the honor of pro- ducing the first woman governor. But the selection of Mrs. Ferguson is not only a vindication of her husband, it is a severe blow to the K. K. K. Texas is known as one of the Klans greatest strongholds. Davis has openly denounced it. La Follette has stigmatized it. Dawes has faintly damned it, but what is wanted from the Republican party is concrete evidence that clauses it un-American and opposed to the Constitution of the United States. We remember that the candidate of the Republican party in Indiana has the endorsement of the K's. That, Pine the candidate for the Senate in Oklahoma has the open endorsement of the Klan; that the Maine candidate of the party is alleged to be supported by the Klan, and that they have rejected themselves into and attached their tenacles onto the Republican party—Will they rid themselves of the Octopus by a "bold declaration" or will they "Pussy Foot" until it be too late. MAKE NO MISTAKE, the KLAN ISSUE IS A LIVE ONE. 0----00----0 Now, here is something to think about. Do you remember how the late Bishop Walters lauded the late ex-President, Woodrow Wilson and urged him as the panacea for all of our racial troubles? And, we know how well you remember how we were disillusioned. Mr. Wilson, personally, was a splendid man and we doubt not that he meant all that he said when he assured the Bishop of his friendliness for the Race, but the party that elected Mr. Wilson was bigger than he. Mr. Davis is a fine man personally and we doubt not feels fair toward every citizen under the constitution, but, can Mr. Davis be greater than the party that would elect him? Wilson was not. Mr. La Follette is as fine a specimen of true Americanism as stands under the folds of the flag, but La Follette has been endorsed by the leaders of Union Labor, especially the Railway Brotherhoods. We know the attitude of union labor on the race issue, especially the railway brotherhoods. Can he be stronger than those who would elect him? 0----00----0 In his speech at Sea Girt, N. J., John W. Davis injected a new element into the campaign. He denounced the K. K. K. in terms that savor of no equivocation. He said in part that "Whenever any organization, no matter what it chooses to be called—whether Ku Klux Klan or by any other name—raises the standard of racial or religious prejudice, or attempts to make racial origin or religious belief a test of fitness for public office, it does violence to the spirit of American institutions and must be_e condemned who believe, as I do, in American ideals." Mr. Davis challenges Preside ntCoolidge to publicly state his position on the Klan and thus remove it as one of the issues of the campaign. Senator La Follette has denounced the three K's. in terms as certain as those of Mr. Davis. So far, President Coolidge, although stating his stand on the racial question, has not, unequivocally, denounced the Klan. 0----00----0 The planet Mars has for the past 100 years beep gradually nearing the earth until now it is but a bare 35,000,000 miles away. The astronomers and scientists have been at fever heat seeking to wrest from the planet the secret of whether life exists or if it be only a dead mass rushing through space. There are limits to which mortals may aspire, not denying the logism of some of us. Divine law has set a boundary and you can rest assured that there will be no unanimous agreement 'tamong the savants when the observations are ended, as to whether the lines are canals or if the inhabitants be five-legged giants with heads like gourds and tentacles like an Octopus dangling from their bodies. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork." After all of the observations have been made and mathematical and theoretical deductions tabulated, Mars will once more resume the wonted pathway designed by the Creator through illimitable space and we, as creatures of His handwork, but with exalted ego, will be able only to dissolve as to the mysteries of His handwork. The Psalmist, David, writes that "By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the costs of them by the breath of Hisouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: He layth up the deeds in storehouses. An elderly lady commenting said: "All of this fuss about trying to find out, or meddle with the secrets of the mentor, to me, seems uncalled for. It shows the inconsistency of man. There are mysteries on this earth that man is not solved; mysteries of the air of the sea. Man has not solved what should be the simplest of the problems—he has failed to "Know Him." Through the herculean efforts of the Pearl Lowery Winters and Maude Cole, the 21-Annual meeting of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs was secured to Oakland. We will meet in 1925.

No group can irreparably injure the black man save the black man himself. Because we are at present the cynosure of crious eyes, we must deport ourselves admirably before the people of this republic", Charles Stachel Morris, Jr., distinguished orator told a great throng in Bakerfield last Monday evening. "There is no color line in the domain of progress, there is no question of race in the empire of achievement. The world will recognize merit anywhere at any time. History proves that this is true. I summon you to a larger mission, to a more glorious destiny in this nation. The spirit of man cannot be conquered, but is a link in the golden chain that binds God and man", the spokesman told his hearers. Young Morris has already addressed twenty monster meetings in various parts of the state of California. He is scheduled to speak a number of times yet preceeding his departure for the South and East on September 11th. It is conservatively estimated that he has reached more than twenty-five thousand persons in this state directly and thousands of others over the radio. Next Sunday and Monday, August 31st and September 1st, the oratir will be the guest of the citizens of San Diego, appearing at two huge events in that city. The affair on Monday Labor Day, promises to be one of unusual interest and importance. Hundreds of persons from this city are expected to hear Morris at that time. On Tuesday evening he will speak from the platform of the huge Municipal Auditorium at Long Beach, in company with a one hundred voice chorus under the direction of Prof. Claud V. Pitts, the first time that Negroes have ever been invited to render a program in this building. San Bernardino will give the famous speaker a royal welcome on next Friday night, September 5th, when he goes to that city on the invitation of its leading citizens, both white and colored to make an appeal for the black man. Arrangements have been made for a record breaking crowd of the members of both races to hear him on that occasion. Following another mammoth farewell meeting in Los Angeles on the eve of his departure, as well as one in Pasadena he will depart for the east on September 11th, stopping over in Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Boulder, Colorado, Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City Missouri; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and other important centers to deliver speeches while en route. Numerous social courtesies have been extended to him by the members of both races since he has been in California. ...We have just installed a Modern Kodak Finishing Plant which will en able us to give striotly one day service on all Kodak finishings. ...We also have Auto Service, which enables us to bring our studio to your home, anywhere, at anytime, to photograph anything.

Watts, California Long Beach Boulevard and Redondo Car Line Iseac J. Williamsx, Minister Great works are benign perfected at Watts in the church of Christ. Much work is benign done. Our minister used at 11 o'clock for his text, the 3rd verse of St. John, the 3rd chapter, "Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man he born again, he cannot see the kingdom of heaven." And at the evening hour, at Birch Street Church of Christ he used for his text "A Distinguished Visitor", St. John, 3rd chapter, and 5th verse. Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God". Both these services were well attended. For next Lord's Day at Birch Street: Bible school at 9:45 A. M. Preaching at 11 P. M., and Preaching at 8 P. M. Wednesday prayer meeting. Friday evening. Choir practice 7:30 P. M.

At the morning services the attendance was large, and visitors from Oklahoma and other cities were present, and gave special attention to the services. They expressed appreciation of the services, and promised to return. The pastor spoke from the text, "Six things the Lord doth hate." At the close of the sermon, Ethline Mabel Rozier was baptised. In the evening both endeavors held their regular services, which were very instructive. At night the pastor spoke from the text. "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead and Christ shall give the light". The mixed audience was very attentive. Next Sunday, August 51st, will be our last Quarterly Meeting before conference. Come over and worship with us. BETH EDEN BAPSTIST TEMPLE Cor. 27th and Paloma Sts. Rev. L. B.

The pastor spoke to a very large and responsive audience last Sunday 11 A. M. and baptized four candidates at 2 P. M. Dr. A. J. Stokes preached to the new members at 3 p. m. and the right hand of fellowship was given. Rev. Cicero Simmons preached at the night service from the subject, "Doing a Great Work so that it cannot come down. Sunday School is progressing nicely and the B. Y. P. U. reported progress. $20.10 was the financial mark. Mrs. T. A. Cole will make a report of her trip East on Sunday evening. She went to Cleveland, Ohio, to attend the Congress. The members and friends will give the pastor a departing banquet on next Tuesday night, just before the party leaves for Nashville. This is free to the public. Many were reported to be on the slick list this week. Mrs. Jessie Winton, mother Lewis and father Norwood are among those who are sick. FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Cdr. Pico and Paloma Rev. W. E. Shaw, Pastor Services on last Sunday were very well attended and impressive, as well. The morning subject or text was "Bless the Lord, O my soul ard all that is within me, bless His Holy Name". This was a very splendid sermon and the singing was excellent. A picture entitled "Judge Not" was shown at 8 P. M. This was indeed a beautiful lesson and benefited us all. There will be a 100 per cent Rally next Sunday morning in connection with the services. This rally is given by the Friday Afternoon Sewing Club, Mrs. R. Lindsey, President, Mrs. Lola Compnext, Secretary. The pastor will preach morning and evening next Sunday. Everyone is cordially invited to come out to these services.

This church cordially invites visitors, strangers and friends. Our doors are always ajar. It was a great day at our Church Sunday. Rev. Martin was at his best, he meached from Luke 7:34. "The Friendship of Christ." He emphasized the only friendship that ex- plained between God and man was mu- tual and eternal Man's richest possession, or errum is the friendship of O. L. st. for with it all things are possible and without it all is lost. The message was joyfully received. At 7 o'clock the B. Y. P. U. held a splendid session. "The Mysteries of God's Wisdom" was the subject at the evening services. Pastor Martin in delivering his message seemed to have lost himself in the spirit of love and we were compelled to say, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us along the way." Everyone is looking to forward to the big barbecue Monday, Labor day, for the benefit of our church edifice, Bro. J. P. Mason donated the fatted calf and Bro. Dyson, chairman barbecue committee declares he is prepared to serve 500. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. Rev. E. E. Lightner, Pastor The pastor filled the pulpit at both the splendid services held at this church the past Sunday. "Passive Christians" was the subject of the morning message. At the evening hour the pastor used "Proud of the Gospel" as his theme. The Christian Endeavor held a fine meeting at 7:00 o'clock in the evening when Prof. Wm. H. Fearonce led in the discussion of "Selfishness; How to Overcome it." This Sunday, August 31st all the regular services of the church. The pastor will speak at both hours. A cordial welcome awaits you at all our services. The Inter-Circle Program for Thursday night, Sept. 4th, promises to be an unusual affair. Don't miss it.

It was conducted by Mrs. Gladden, Ass't. Supt., the Superintendent being indspposed by virtue of a fall, spraining an arm which laid her up. The morning service was largely attended the pastor conducted and preached at this service, subject: "The Results of Talking About Jesus and Talking with Jesus." It was a spiritual least. Our drive for Conference finances is now on. We want every member to report in full and to the best of your ability. Up to this writing we are far behind last year's report. PHILLIPS CHAPEL C. M. E. Last Sunday was an usual day, everybody seemed to have been full of enthusiasm. The pastor preached a strong sermon at 11 o'clock full of power and inspiration; everybody seemed to have caught a new vision of things pertaining to eternal life. Sunday was General Rally Day and the clubs rallied nicely under conditions. Dr. N. P. Greggs of the independent Church and his splendid choir were with us at 3 p. m. Dr. Greggs preached a powerful and an inspiring sermon, every person seemed to have been electrified after having had such a glorious sermon. Dr. Greggs's Choir rendered some splendid numbers of anthems and jubilees, we were carried away with their singing. The clubs will finish their reports Sunday and the members who didn't respond last Sunday will put in their offering this Sunday, so they can be counted in the new souvenirs that are to be gotten out pretty soon. Services are being held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, 666 E 36th street. This church was thrown open to us by those good Christian people, for which they have our hearts felt thanks. All members should be present Sunday. HAMLTON M. E. CHURCH E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor Sunday services at this church were up to their usual standard of service and quality. At the morning hour Rev. J. Edward McCorkle of San Bernardino preached a very interesting and profitable sermon from the subject: "The Lost Christ." This sermon was much enjoyed and was well spoken of by those who heard it. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. J. O. Williams preached a powerful sermon from the subject, "You Can't Beat the Game," taking as his text, "Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out." This sermon made a deep impression upon the large number of auditors who were present. At the evening hour the evangelistic services were continued under the direction of Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams has rendered yeaoman service during these days he has been conducting these services. He has preached great sermons and the people have received them and have been helped by them. The services came to a close on Tuesday evening. The Conference Year comes to a close on the 24th of September and the Conference will be held in Santa Barbara. The raising of our Conference will be concluded on the First Sunday in September, which is the 7th. You are cordially invited to worship with us. This is the church of the cordial welcome and handshake. Come and see. The pastor preached two strong sermons last Sunday. The subject of the morning sermon was: "The Dominion of Two Men." The pastor was at his best, the sermon was convincing and forcibly rendered. The evening sermon was highly spiritual, dealing with the New Testament Church; subject: "On This Rock I Build my Church." The Junior Missionary held their meeting in Sycamore Grove. The S. S. and B. Y. P. U. had interesting sessions. Miss Henry read a paper in S. S. on the lesson subject—It is Ours to Obey. Deaconess Whittaker sang a solo in B. Y. P. U. Next Sunday morning the S. S. will observe Division Day. Come early and spend the day with us. It will do you good. APOSTOLIC FAITH ASSEMBLY 1122 33rd Street Eld. F. J. Douglas, Pastor Sunday was a blessed day, a day of the Lord, from morning to evening service, which also was victorious Sunday school at the usual hour, from 10 to 11 A. M. After which the pastor taking the stand for the morning message, finding his texts as given by the Lord from the Book of Joshua commission to record the consumption of the redemption of Israel out of Egypt. Joshua 1:1-7; Jer. 1:4 to 10; The Prophets Call and Endement. At the evening service Elder Douglas preached a most striking and convincing message on the out pourgin of the Lord in the last days. He spoke: Isa. 28:11-12; Joel 2:28; Luke 4:39; John 7:37-39; Aces 1:8; Acts 2:1-2; 15:17; Rom 3:3; Isa. 45:21 to 149. Many hands were lifted for prayer thanks and we are helping as the seed is being sown, which is the word of God to take root in the hearts of believers, and soon spring forth unto everlasting life. We also have a sweet and glorious praise service before the evening message on Sunday and the glory of God fills the temple of the Lord so much so that a shout in the camp is heard far and near, come and enjoy the fat things of the Lord. Mid week service as follows: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, evenings beginning at 7:30 P. M. Prayer meeting at 10 o'clock. Thursday to 1 after which the sisters began their missionary meeting which also expresses a great part of religious work and faith from each member. We extend a welcome invitation to the public. PEOPLES' INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST. The commendations made of the usual services of the Peoples' Independent Church of Christ were as practical of the services of last Sunday: for truly a great interest was manifested in the services throughout the day. The morning service was begun with the organ voluntary by the organist, Mrs. Fannie Benjamin; after the Choir procession was the silent prayer; the Choir rendered a lovely musical number. The anthem was very fitting, special solo was beautifully rendered. The sermon by the Pastor was filled with essence of spiritual inspiration. His subject was "The Face of dn Ox and the Face of an Eagle." The fruits of his wonderful discourse were the happy audience and the accession of seven persons to the church, three of whom were converts. In the evening the pastor's subject was "Putting Precepts into Practice." The spiritual interest from the effects of this practical sermon were of great manifestations. The grand recital of Thursday evening given by an all-star cast was one of high compliments, such as the public naturally expects of the characters, Mr. Thomas Johnson, Mrs. Fannie Benjamin and Master Leon Perdue. Next Sunday, the pastor will preach his last sermon before leaving with the other delegates for the National Council which convenes in Detroit, Michigan. A great time is expected next Sunday and for a convenient seat all are urged to be present on time at 10:45 A. M. WADSWORTH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH Meets in the Odd Fellows Hall East 8th and Wall Streets Our services last Lord's Day were excellent. The Bible school was interesting and instructive. At the 11 a.m. service our pastor preached a beautiful sermon. It was instructive and edifying. We are planning to build a temporary building on our lot at East 32nd and Wadsworth streets to worship in until we can build permanently. We invite all of our friends to worship with us. Come one and all. You are welcome. Order of service: Bible school 9:45 A. M. Preaching 11 A. M. Elders: G. W. HOLLINES, Chairman. LaFAYETTE BOOTH. WM. Z. HOPPER. Our S. S. was well attended on last Sunday. The lesson was interesting and helpful. It was impressed upon the minds of the little ones that worldly wisdom cannot understand. God, they must be born of God. The A. M. services were also full of power and truth. Rev. Rozier preached Sunday mormon gen Sanctification, John 17. Truly it was a message from God. We thank God for DR. M.

Returning home again in time for the B. Y. P. U. We appreciate the very presence of our pastor in every department of the church, every word is seasoned with instruction, kindness, love and glorifying God. Rev. Rosier spoke from Luke 17:32, subj: "Remember Let's wife," in the evening. All Los Angeles should have heard that message. If you are dissatisfied with your life and want to know the truth come to Pleasant Hill. The Bible is opened every night in the week, and the truth is explained. It will pay you to know the truth. Free dinner is served every Sunday noon to our many friends and visitors. A good program is enjoyed in the B. Y. P. U. All are welcome. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH 8th and San Julian Streets Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor Whitney's Boys' Chorus The real treat of the season will be the Whitney's Boys' Chorus of fifty voices which will appear in Recital at Wesley, Sunday night. Come early to get a seat. Sunday was a fine day at Wesley. The pastor's morning sermon on Some Old Folks of the Bible was a masterpiece. A very fine evening service was held, the pastor preaching. The Gospel Singing, a feature of our evening services was excellent. This Sunday will be Women's Foreign Missionary Day. The pastor will preach the sermon in the morning and the Boys Chorus of fifty voices will appear in the evening. A great treat is in store for all. Come and see. MT. ZIION BAPSTIST CHURCH 50th and Hooper Ave. Dr. A. J. Stokes, Pastor Truly the blind see and the deaf hear! Even as he talks and the Word of God is unfolded they who have stumbled in the darkness of misunderstanding and ignorance for ten, twenty and some even for fifty years cry out that "Whereas I was once blind, now see." So, the Bible class of Tuesday and Wednesday nights has been steadily growing, members have increased remarkably in wisdom and in numbers. Out of these meetings those that have never seen have come leaping for joy at the light shed upon their pathways; even Sunday night there was of the number baptized, such an one, a young man. Sunday morning and night glorious services were partaken of by a large gathering of people. Many accessions were made to the church, one for baptism. Dr. Stokes, having broken the ice of morning worship in his own church and in fact of the black folk in the West, has been ever since kept busy pushing back, the pieces that his brethren might wade in following a week of services in Beth Eden Baptist, he has, for the past week been preaching at eleven o'clock at Trinity Baptist. Sunday morning and Sunday night will be your last chance of hearing Dr. Stokes before he goes to attend the National Baptist Convention of which he has been treasurer for thirty-four years. Don't miss hearing him Sunday. Sunday afternoon, the Senior Missionary Society will conduct a mission rally and have prepared an excellent program of which Mrs. M. Diggs of Detroit, Mich. in instrumental selection, Mrs. Mayo in a talk on Missions and Dr. A. J. Stokes in a missionary address, will be a part. Witness this program Sunday afternoon at three c'clock. Thirty-seven young people are now registered for service in the Junior Choir, there is room yet for thirteen more. These young people work diligently for an hour and a half each Tuesday afternoon beginning at two-thirty o'clock in preparing themselves for service. Last Tuesday a surprise feature of refreshments served, were tendered them by their sponsors Mesdames Prease and Bateman, the excursion taking the departure of Miss Minaar Wilson for home, having worked faithfully with them. You will hear from this organization soon. A Sunday School of a hundred little folk and a B. Y. P. U. with a great opportunity for service extends you a cordial welcome. PEOPLES INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cor. 19th and Paloma Streets Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor The Independent Church of Christ furnished a beautiful setting for the wedding on last Thursday evening of Miss Mildred Irma Scott to Mr. Thomas M. Moore, which was solemnized at 9 o'clock in the presence of hundreds of admiring friends and relatives Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor of Independent church was the officiant. @quantities of summer blossome, potted plants and colorful floor lamps were employed by decorators under the supervision of Mrs. Beavers, all adding a touch of solemnity and dignity to the scene. Preceding the ceremony Claude V. Pitts, California's golden voiced tenor, "all for You" with Miss Mary Earles at the organ. Immediately following the solo, the following brides' maids, becomingly gowned to further carry out a color scheme of blue and white marched down the alley to the altar: Misses L. Alexander J. Howman, G. Dials, G. Hicks, C. Edwards, M. Shivers, Mald of honor, and Mrs. Wm. A. Dickerson assisted as matron of honor. The groommen were Messrs. Harry Tracy James Scott, Valentine Willis, Bennie Collie, while Charles White assisted as best man. After this procession, the little flower girls, Arizona Herbert and Albertina Parish scattered blossoms for the radiant bride, followed by the ring bearer, little Wm. A. Dickerson, who attracted unusual attention. Immediately preceding the bride's entrance, the following extette, Misses M. Robinson, C. Sealey, T. Van Norton, B. Dials, C. Browder and E. Smith sang the nuptial mass. The bridg in white satin and pearls marched to the altar followe dby the little vell bearer, Thelma Scott. The following girls, Misses L. Marshall, L. Towns, F. Durham, M. Hamilton, G. Grey, assisted as ushers. wedding shiOaf aaa.tdeshrdlu 123. After partaking of a tempting wedding breakfast, the happy pair departed by automobile to Sacramento and San Francisco for an indefinite honeymoon. SPECIAL SERVICES AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH, VENICE The Pastor's Aid Society of the Calvary Baptist Church of Venice, California of which Mrs. S. L. Nichol is president held an enthusiastic meeting all day last Sunday. The occasion was an effort on the part of this society to raise funds preparatory to the erection of a parsonage for their worthy pastor Rev. Frank James who has worked very consistently with this people to place the min a very conspicuous place in the Western Baptist Association. Rev. W. R. Carter spoke morning and evening in his simple, yet impressive way of driving the truth home. Rev. R. H. Rozier preached in the afternoon whose sermon was exceedingly wonderful, full of life and enthusiasm. He was accompanied with quite a crowd from his own church. At the conclusion of his discourse he offered the suggestion of sending pastor James to the National Baptist Convention at Nashville to which there was ahearty response. An organization was perfected for the reception of funds. This money is in charge of Deacon Liggins and from appearances it seems that Rev. James will be the recipient of a trip to the great gathering through the philanthropy of his good people. A baptismal robe was also presented to the pastor by the Trustees in the afternoon which was indeed quite impressive. The meeting was well attended all day and Mrs. Nichols should feel well paid for her efforts in planning an all-day meeting; other workers from the Western Baptist Association were present also. The funeral of Mr. W. E. Jones will be held from 8th and Towne Avenue Church, Saturday, August 30, 1924.

The lions and the elephants, the monkeys and the apes; the tigers and the chimpanzees, the bisons and the bears—and every type of social wild beast imaginable—are frolicking. Night after night there is a wild rush to some sort of social circus. Sundays are no exception to the rule. The Zoo is opened just the same. From classical wedding marches to jazz meanderings—from stolid receptions and afternoon teas to disjointed beach parties—from daylight card parties to midnight dance reveries—"Black" society here is in a frightful riot, straining and pinching, paring and shaving, to worship itself! This artificial mummery sweltering under the heat of private economic pressure—society is just as Lord Byron described it: ... now one polished horde, Formed of two mighty tribes, the Southern tribes. There goes your Los Angeles summer of 1924! 0-00-0 John W. Davis insisted, in his recent New Jersey speech, that Coolidge should join him, "by some explicit declaration," denouncing the Klan so as to entirely remove it as an issue from the present campaign. Dawes answered for the latter by an explosive arraignment of the "Night Shirt" Order in his Maine speech the following day. If the Democratic nominee is satisfied then the way is cleared for a tirade against the Republican Party for the misdeeds of Denby, Daugherty and Fall and the ancient Newberry pastime. The new political logic! 0----00----0 JACK MOONFIXER is one of the most amusing fellows afloat writing in his self-exalted importance something like this: "I dislike to advise our folks because we are so wise in our own conceits that we think we know it all." He, of course, is the only one among us who KNOWS IT ALL. We are underlings, without adequate personal judgment—the petty slaves to his dictation! The thing is a huge joke. THERE are a number of eastern "bugs" which have flown to Los Angeles this summer. We have met, and have been examining some of them. We should like to say, therefore, that for the sake of the reputation of your former school and home, please bear in mind that a good many folks in this town have had some training in school and can easily disc over whether you are a "big bug" or a cheap little humbug. 0----00----0 Curtis D. Wilbur wants a navy "on absolute parity with Great Britain's in all matters covered by the Treaty for Limitation' of Armaments." Coolidge is waiting until the reparations problems are completely settled and peace is definitely assured the world before he invites the Powers to another Arms conference. It looks as though the Secretary of the Navy is eager to arm whilst the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy is patiently awaiting to disarm—a kind of administration tug-o-war! 0----00----0 THE freedom of the intellect is measured, not merely by its ability to originate, but as much by its ability to choose for use in its activities those intellects which have already originated. This ability of choice is the basis of freedom, and we defy any man to successfully disprove this proposition. 0-00-0 ANY man who has had any considerable schooling cherishes respect for the authority of books. It is only a dune and a fool who does not. 0----00----0 WE suspect that it is not that Jack Moonfixer so deprecates what he terms "mere gem picking" but that he rather hates the fellow who is skillful enough to pick gems that outshine and smash him. 0-00-0 WE read from Jack Moonfixer the other day that "a thought may be deep in at least two ways," i. e., (1) "in the truth which it expresses, or (2) deep in the mire and mass of ignorance in which it is buried." Depth is thinking has taken a new twist in the absurdity of the latter case. Any anxiously discriminating mind can see at a glance that this last depth relates, not to the thought itself, but to the ignorance of the thinker. For example, a barrel may, of itself, be deep, measured by its contents, but when it is buried in a deep hole in the ground it is not necessarily a deep barrel. It is the hole that is deep and not the barrel in this case. In his effort to ridicule others, this scribler of "sufficient originality and genius" makes himself a more ridiculous spectacle by confusing the quality of depth which a thought may have with the place of depth where a thought may be. The time spent in jibing at others about grammar and rhetoric would surely be more profitably spent in studying these things which he so venomously hates. He would escape many a logical bungle! Speaking from his own tragic experience, Jack Moonfixer once wrote: "Never rush into print. You may talk foolishness, and it will pass quickly out of the ears of your hearers, but when you put a thing into print it remains against you. It stands there to be scrutinised and criticised, and when you learn more you may become ashamed of it yourself." We hope that if, by this admonition, he is no wiser regarding his "Common Sense" column, he will seriously consider it in his projected book-making enterprise. THE idea seem prevalent among certain progressive (?) individuals in sime of our churches that modern young people are disinterested in the church. This is all bunk. It is not selfish indifference which keeps them from active church work. Here are two reasons: (1) an indefensible pulit opposition, and (2) an unnecessary encroachment of old age. In a few churches in this city young folks are given a chance, but there are many where they have no opportunity. Yet these are the complaining ones. Clayborne D. Cooksey —Instructor in— Some people are so ridiculous in their intemperate enthusiasm to make an impression that they become pitilable rather than laughable. You will find that facts and reason are far more convincing in the end than emotional appeal to passions and prejudices. 0-00-0 It is a sign of pulpit failure when a preacher has to use other means besides his pulpit to direct his messages to certain sections of his church mem to certain sections of his church membership. 0-00-0 It is a pity that some speakers cannot lose sight of themselves and their achievements when talking to intelligent people.

We should really like to examine the minds of some of these high tone (?) colored ladies of Los Angeles—old and young—who deliberately ignore their so-called friends at certain times and are so extravagant in their greetings at other times. If they only had sense enough to realize what a spectacle of fun they furnished to others they would soon find that they are hurting themselves more than bothering anyone else. 0----00----0 As long as malice and spite are hurled in unwarranted, but veiled attacks from some of our pulpits, just so long will well-meaning and peaceful Christian people be driven from the pews. 0-00-0 The pulpit is no place for the vindication of petty, personal dissensions. Only eowards misuse their position of vantage over others in that manner. 0-00-0 Instead of running amuck of intelligent Christian people who are well able to watch themselves, some of our ministers ought to get out on Central avenue and there do some real practical work. 0----00----0 If some of our preachers would put as much thought into their sermons as they put physical energy into their throats and ings when delivering them very few of them would have to howl about the absence of young people's interest in the church. 0-00-0 THE well-balanced man is that man who cultivates some special sense with which to qualify his extravagant common sense.

Bryant met last Thursday at 601 Pine Street. Bishop Heard, the chairman, called the meeting to order. All of the members were present except Bishop J. S. Slipper, Rev. H. Y. Arnett and Prof. Ira T. Bryant, the two latter coming in after the business was over. Bishop J. A. Johnson and Dr. F. H. Coit, the new missionary secretary, were visitors. The committee went to work promptly at 10 o'clock and worked up until 1 o'clock when they had luncheon at the Roadside Hotel and went back to work at 2 o'clock, working steadily up until 5:30, when the manuscript was turned over to a sub-committee which met Friday to complete minor details. The committee arranged for an amendment to the charter of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to incorporate it with headquarters at Philadelphia. It arranged a new course of study for ministers entering the conference for four years, also collateral reading for local preachers. The budget for the African Methodist Episcopal Church was incorporated in the discipline as well as the change in the method of election, which will eliminate electioneering and an undue amount of campaigning and advertising among those aspiring for office. The members of the committee were entertained in the homes of different ministers of Philadelphia. Most of them however went immediately to their homes upon the completion of their work. Dr. S. S. Morris Trustee Of United Society Of Christian Endeavor Boston, Mass.—At the meeting of the trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor which met in this city July 31st at the headquarters of the Christian Society, Rev S. S. Morris, the general secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was in attendance. There were twenty-five trustees. Dr. Morris is one of the few colored men who has ever been elected trustee of this society which was founded some forty old years ago by D. Francis A. Clark and which has continued to grow. The reports showed that 2,250 new Christian Endeavor societies were formed during the past year. The trustees voted to emphasize during the next year evangelism, stewardship, world peace, world fellowship, remembrance at Christmas time of the shuins and old folks, etc. Citizenship Day October 19th will be featured in all Christian Endeavor Societies. July 4-9 was fixed as the date for the 1935 International Convention for which a budget of $16,000 was made. The trustees stopped at the Commonwealth Hotel.

FEIN'S STORE Race Clerks Employe TREET PHONE: --Near Central Ave. Race The Los Angeles Branch of the Young People's N.A.A.C.P. met in its regular session lost Sunday at the Independent Church. The meeting was well attended by the young people of the city, and many visitors expressed their pleasure of being present. The address of the afternoon was given by Dr. Claude Hudson. He told of his experiences in N.A.A.C.P. work and urged the members to sacrifice themselves for the object for which th organization was founded. The monthly discussion of topics was led by Lloyd C. Griffith, whose reading of an editorial "The Menace of Garveyism" brought forth many dissenting views and opinions of the West Indian. It was argued by many that Garvey should be deported because of his nationality. But this position was quickly weakened by James McGregor, who in a scholarly fashion convincingly argued that nationality was a misnomer in the discussion. Dr. Hudson held a dissenting view. He contended that Garvey was an alien and should not be allowed to exploit native born Americans; but his point was undermined by the forse of rhetoric and convincing logic. Leon Whittaker and Lloyd Griffith took the defensive, and while not committed to the Garvey principles and program, argued that geography and nationality were not indictments of Garvey. The latter opposed criticism of Garvey on this point, and the former contended that character was the first consideration in any attempt to accurately appraise a man. Plans for staging the mammoth pageant, "The Star of Ethiopia", were discussed. The final arrangements for the production of the pageant were deferred until a later date. The meeting adjourned at five o'clock until the fourth Sunday in September. COMMITTEE ON PUBLICITY. THE AMERICAN MORTGAGE COM PANY OFFERS BIG ISSUE Permit has just been issued by the State Commissioner of Corporations authorizing the American Mortgage Company to issue and sell $500,000 additional capital stock. The company at present has a paid up capital of $500,000 and recently filed the necessary papers with the State increasing their capital to $1,000,000. Frank N. Fish, president, states that during 1923 the Company made $7,000,000 in real estate loans and since January of this year has loaned $3,000,000. The business has so increased in the last two years that the company has found it desirable to increase its stock to meet requirements. Mr. Fish also states that the demand for mortgages has been unusually large during July, which was a banner month. The additional capital stock has been ever-subscribed, being largely taken up by the present stockholders. The officers and directors of the American Mortgage Company are: Frank M. Fish, president; George Hickerson, vice-president; H. E. Spieker, secretary-treasurer; Rey H. Fish, manager; R. J. Gardner, attorney; L. Silver, Alex, Paterson, Shris Koch, A. O. Kelliber and G.

We have tried everything in our power to get your support. We have protected you and your money in our contract. We have advertised, written and spoken to you personally. Yet you have failed to show any interest, and your lack of support has proven the futility of a project of this kind. A COSMOPOLITAN MAUSOLEUM does not seem to interest you. Then, I mus tabide by YOUR DECISION. A Cosmopolitan Mausoleum Will Not Be Built Paradise Mausoleum Will Be Built as a Mausoleum for CAUCASIANS ONLY PARADISE MAUSOLEUM Was my dream, and I dared to hope it would be enthusiastically supported I was mistaken. I bow in grief. For I assure you all that my opportunity to be a crypt owner is no different than yours.

Mr. Malone pointed out the fact that the men and women of our race are not only interested in whatever special reference may have been made concerning some particular protection which should be given the colored race, but that we as I group are interested in all of the big problems that interest the members of any other race group.

More than one hundred thousand income tax bills will be mailed between September 1 and 5. Meanwhile 80,000 Treasury checks drawn in favor of Southern California taxpayers to cover the 25 per cent refund on income taxes pain in full this year are being mailed. This complicates things somewhat, Collector of Internal Revenue, Rex. B. Goodcell stated yesterday, in advertising taxpayers to sit pretty and wait "to a bill." Collector Goodcell said that already many checks are being received in payment of the installment in September 15, accompanied merely by letters of transmittal and in some instances remittances are forwarded without any explanation. In view of the fact that the 25 percent reduction in bills being applied as a credit to all outstanding balances, and bills are being prepared showing the next amount of tax due less this credit, the Collector said that taxpayers should await the receipt of bills before forwarding remittances. It is impossible to credit the remittances now being received prior to the forwarding of bills, inasmuch as a portion of the number of 100,000 bills are completed, Collector Goodcill explained. If a taxpayer should fall to receive a bill by September 5, he should either forward his remittance or communicate with the Collector's office, to determine the proper amount to be paid. If he is leaving the city and will not be at his residence between September 1 and 5, the Collector said it would facilitate matters if the taxpayer would communicate with his office and obtain the correct amount of money to be paid.

M. E. Zion Church. Assisting on the program were vocal pupils of Edna Heard, and Mrs. J. C. Banks, dramatic reader. Each pupil played with poise and musical understanding, which demonstrated the thorough training being given them by their teacher. The work of Miss Heard's pupils was truly a credit to her. The song number sung by twelve little misses was well received as was the delightful number given by Mrs. J. C. Banks. The following pupils rendered piano numbers, Marguerite Randlez, Velma Harrold, Luana Martinez, Alice Pettus, Alice Wilson, Jessie Veil, Maxine Booker, Ernestine Wilson, Marie Jefferson, Etta Phillips, Ruby Shaw, Louise Westheimer, Rosetta Barton, Gloria Curtis, Ollie Goodlow, John Shaw, Norma Reed, Arneta Andews and Catherine Higgins. Vocal pupils to appear were: Mrs. Gertrude Edwards, Hazel Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert McCarroll. The interpretation of a vocal number by Miss Heard, and a piano number by Miss Gottschalk were enthusiastically received.

Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application EDITORIALS Some of our race journals beat the band telling how great they are, instead of demonstrating and allowing the people to pass upon their greatness. The unfortunate and tragic passing of that splendid young type of citizenship in the person of Officer Corley is a warning indeed that should-forever cause our young men to walk circumspectly and in the path of rectitude. LINCOLN LEAGUE SCORES Right off the bat the Lincoln League enters the political arena and scores heavily. Every candidate endorsed by this organization was an election or nomination. Therefore the League qualifies to be in the front line for recognition. ABATEMENT OF VICE AND CRIME The promiscuous killings which have occurred among our group is a warning to the people against the conditions which prevail in this community, and drastic measures are now in order to bring a halt to the same. It is indeed a sad commenta ry that such crimes as last Sunday night's occurrence should take place. Law and order should be maintained as never before and every citizen who stands for law and order should join in to assist the forces which strive for the abatement of crime. GE TOGETHER IS THE PASS WORD The 1924 primary is now history. Mistakes were made and overt acts performed by members of the race who sought political preferment. By these mistakes let the future benefit and in days to come don't forget the pass word is, Get Together. Don't you know what would have happened in the Seventy-third had the forces combined. There will be no good accomplished by designating anybody as a traitor, even if they are traitors. But great good can be brought about by using diplomacy to the utmost all for the big purpose of bringing about a real feeling of responsibility for future accomplishments. It is certain and surely apparent to all that if we get anywhere politically we must Get Together... No alibis go. If your candidate was defeated it was simply because he failed to get votes enough. That's all. KU KLUX KLAN SLIPPING The hooded knights in Los Angeles County received a big set back, just the same as their brothers got down in Texas and Oklahoma. As a matter of fact the night riders are in very bad repute and on every turn they are getting a severe drubbing. In this county the issue was clean cut and there was no question o which way the wind was blowing. After the Rev. Bob Schuler showed his hand, for be it known that Mr. Schuler is positively beyond peradventure the spokesman for the Klan. In fact he is their best bet and when he came formard rareing and snorting for Sheldon, everybody who was really disgusted with the Klan got off Sheldon and got down on Keyes with the result as indicated by the totale on last Tuesday. The influence of the motley crew which undertook to enlighten the voters of the black belt in favor of Sheldon is apparent when the returns came in in most precincts at the ratio of 10 to 1 for Keyes. Now it is time for some of this gentry to go way back and sit down. CREDULOUS GIRLS Miss Ann Luther, a would-be film actress, charges J. F. White, a rich mining promoter and film producer, with the act of luring her away from home by offering her fabulous sums to act in the movies. Miss Luther contends that the film magnate promised to make her a celebrity of the screen if she would accept his generous offer and agreement. To this she complied with avidity and alacrity, as hundreds of other weakly credulous girls have complied with numerous "agreements" of a similar fantastic kind, only to be heart-broken afterwards. Girls leave home often with this little ambition uppermost in their minds. Hollywood, with its bizarre allurements and attractions, acts as a magnetic and draws them in swarms. But those who have been deceived and misled, those who have been easily made the dupes of unscrupulous film producers, are legion. We have frequently discussed the influence of the cinema in these columns. We have spoken of it as "one of the most inadequate, misleading, sophisticated, most damnable and damaging expressions of life and realism in the world of art to-day." And we shall speak of it again. Its influence over the world at large is so great that if it be allowed to degenerate below those standards set by Count Tolstoy in his celebrated essay on "What is Art?", it will evoke more suffering and calamity than famine. Mr. H. G. Wells remarks: "The Cinema people see mto me to be utterly damned fools, beneath the level of a decent man's discussion". We do not over that the cinema people have reached this stage of mental derangement as yet. They are, as any other class of people, wise, lovable, industrious human beings who are dedicating their lives for the attainment of some noble end. They ever and anon go wrong, and a little suggestion now and then should be proffered to them by intelligent people who have their interests at heart. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` We, therefore, take this opportunity to suggest to Mr. Will Hays that in his attempt to rid he cinema of its cheap merceriousness and to counteract the current tendency of distorting people's minds with overworked and maudish sentimentalism, which it is certainly promoting, that he consider instituting a welfare association to offer comfort and a decent means of livelihood to those dejected girls who are increasingly becoming victims of such wl deat film speculators as Miss Luther alleges Mr. White to be! An incident which strikingly illustrates the decadence of leadership among women, was afforded us when we read of the Women's Party drawing the color line at the grave of Inez Milholland. That race prejudice should flow from this source, that the white American women of the United States should selfishly seek to keep Negro women out of politics and other fields of leadership, is really unbelievable. We are not inclined to be impressed with false reports. But th menace of this king of race prejudice has been aptly expressed in an editorial taken from the Brooklyn Eagle. After relating how mmbers of the Women's Party gathered at the grave of Inez Milholland in appreciation of her services to the cause of equal suffrage, the editorial goes on to explain as follows: "On this occasion the spirit of President Theodore Roosevelt, dining with Booker T. Washington, should have prevailed. Instead the feminist leaders sought to prevent the colored persons from speaking and evoked an almost passionate rebuke from the father of the woman whom they were seeking to honor. He said: "I feel it my duty to speak out. If I did not, I think her spirit would rise up from the grave and say to me: "Dad, why are you afraid?" So I want to remind you that in the first suffrage parade Inez herself demanded that the colored women be allowed to march; and now to-day we were told that it would mar the program to have these guests of mine speak. I have nohting to say, except that Inez believed in equal rights for everybody.'" It was upon this rebuke that Professor Emmett J. Scott of Howard was allowed to speak. He had been invited to attend the ceremonies by the father of the honored woman. The women, following his fiery denunciation of discrimination, freely expressed their regret over the incident and promised that they would do all in their-power to prevent a duplication of he unfortunate happening. The whole thing illustrates that the attitude of white women toward their black sisters is not always what rosy eyed optimists have pictured it. Negro women have to work out their intellectual an dmoral salvation no less fearlessly than their intellectual and moral salvation no less fearlessly than rious civic and community organizations; and the Negro women of the United States, through concerted action and intelligent protest, must break the sinister influence of those who would debar them from enjoying those rights that are inalenably theirs. A NOTE ON THE RUSSIAN SITUATION From Russia comes the startling information that the Bible is no longer in use, demand or popular usage, due to no edict of the Russian government, but simply to popular neglect. This almost incredible fact somewhat substantiates the contention expressed some years ago by Maxim Gorky, Russia's brilliant novelist and man of letters. He contends that the Russian people were entirely living out of harmony with worship, and were suffering from an acute case of morbidity; were so sacrilegious in their habits of living that practically no hope could be expressed for their spiritual salvation. The plight of the Russian people to-day—if we should call it a plight—is one that every nation living under a Capitalist control of government may observe as something that may eventually find its parallels, until every national government will have broken the bonds of Capitalist control and passed through that stage of deflation which such a radical change portends. THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION The paramount question confronting the American people in the national election is not so much one concerning the unblemished record and character of candidates, or of party unity, or matters pertaining to appointments, as it is a question of whether or not the power of private monopoly will be allowed to stand unattacked and unbroken. Everyone knows of the suffering which is entailed upon so vast a concentration of economic power as that that we now witness with invulnerable contempt. Shall the Morgans and the Harrimans and the anderbilts and the Wanamakers and their interlocking directorates further fasten upon us the chains of their economic damnation? Or shall we break their control and re-adjust the existing scheme af things so that the laborer shall be lberally paid that that he deserves? That, indeed, is the paramount question. FACT AND FANCY The newly revised French dictionary is a monument to 46 years of unflagging toil and research, and to the combined labors of a half-score of celebrated scholars of the French Academy. Such a feat, exacting as it did, the meticulous car eand indefatgable labor of so many men, eloquently shows up one of the most popular fallacies of the day. It is the fallacy, namely, that knowledge is easy to acquire and can be acquired without effort—a fallacy due either to an individual prepossession or to a misinterpretation of the facts. In the case of a self-constituted arbiter of our current affairs who parades his effusions under one name on the press and under an entirely different and respectable name in the pulpit, it is a fallacy due to an individdul prepossession—hs ludicrous muddling of fact and fancy. To him, there is no essential difference between fact and fancy, for he fancies himself the Sage of Los Angeles. He doesn't know that in the eyes of discriminating people he is a fantastic farce. But in the lives of the great majority of people, the fallacy of thinking that knowledge is easy to acquire is attributable to a misinterpretation of the facts. Dr. Samuel Johnson spent a life time of toil in compiling the first English dictionary; Macaulay has been accused of reading a hundred books to write one book and traveling a hundred miles to write one line of description; Papini suffered under the anguish of a life time of doubt and skepticism before he found God and thereby found inspiration enough to write his celebrated "Life of Christ;" and Mr. H. G. Wells, in offering the "Outline of History" to the world, sought the collaboration of such celebrated savants as Professor Glbert Murray of Glascow, Sir Ray Lankester, and Mr. Arnold Bennett of "The Old Wives' Tale" fame. Yes, fact is not fancy, and those who believe that information can be easily embodied in a classified scheme might as well fancy that the salvation of the Negro is written in the By CHAUNCEY TOWNSEND A short stocky man with a tattered straw hat and a weather beaten pen stripe suit swung languidly off the platform of an eastbound Hooper Avenue car. He was on his way to make up an election edition of The California Eagle. Walking up Central Avenue, he met a prominent real estate dealer, the president of the Black American League "Hello there George', he blurred. "What's that you got". The man, apparently a close friend, stopped abruptly. He was ashamed. He grinned stupidly. He uttered no word, but quickly gave his friend six copies of the paper he was distributing. "Thanks, old man," his friend cried, and with the alacrity of a man being pursued by sudden danger, walked o ntoward Ninth and Central. In a mad rush to read the contents of the paper, which was simply a "bull" edition of the Pacific Defender, he shoved papers, books and a mass of mail from the top of his desk. Throwing his coat over the back of a chair, he carefully parked his feet on one end of the desk, lighted a cigarette, took three long inhalations, and ran his eyes searchingly over the front page of the paper. KLAN MAILS OUT TICKET read the headline. While below was a facsimile of a letter certifying that ASA KEYES, MISS VIVIAN LINDEN and FREDERICK M. ROBERTS had been endorsed by the KU KLUX KLAN. "This is political bunk", he said to himself. "The last minute product of that gang of radicals who own The Pacific Defender. They have gold their intellectual honesty for a mess of pottage. Damned if I distribute the rest of these papers-for George." "What?", exclaimed the veteran Editor of The California Eagle. "I thought I told you once that this was no place for you to make a caddish exhibition of your resources in that vile profanity." "Get to work on that editorial about Ann Luther and that mining promoter. That escaped us last week, and don't put any of those sugar-coated phrases in it." "The radicals have gotten out a 'bull' edition of their political hand bill", the scribe interrupted. "They have published a statement that Keyes, Miss Linden and Fred Roberts have been endorsed by the Klan." "Lemme see it", retorted the Editor. He read for a moment, took an unduly long draw from his stogie, leaned back in his chair, and cried: "Well I'll be . . . "Where'd you git this", he asked. "From one of the radicals", he was told. "Oh, well", the Editor drawled out exasperatingly. "It's nothing but the last_minute K. K. K. prepaganda concocted by those Wall Street political shysters. Let it go, and hurry up Ann Luther and J. F. White in that editorial." "Oh, won't this serve as material for a scathing criticism. I know the dudes who perpetrated this and I'll give them a good roasting if you say so." "Oh, no ain't worth while", said the Editor. "These demagogues are thoroughly beneath cur notice. Hurry up with your editorial on that breach of promise suit. I want you to go after the forms in a minute". With the docile acquiescence of a chattel slave, the scribe pulled out his typewriter, inserted a sheet of paper and began to type. No longer had he typed the words: CREDULOUS GIRLS, than a woman of medium build and height, with delicately chiseled features, rapped rapically upon the door. The night latch was on. The scribe sprung from his chair, swiftly crossed the room, and opened the door. He recognized the woman as the candidate for STATE SENATOR from the 29th district. "My name is Vivian Linden", she said. "Have you a copy of the Pacific Defender?" "Yes, just a moment". The scribe crossed the room, picked up the deserted paper, folded it, and offered it to the woman. "Well, I'll declare," she cried. "I have worked all my life in the inter- nests of the isolated people and have unalterably apposed the Klan. ests of the colored people and have unalterably opposed the Klan. "What shall I do to counteract this lie? Can you get out a special edition of your paper? How much will it cost?" Before the scribe could utter a word, the Editor blurted out boisterously: "Five hundred dollars, madam. And we will get it out before twelve o'clock." "All right," the lady assented. "I'll write out the copy." It was nine o'clock. The shop was a-bustle. Linotype machines were clicking not unlike the continuous purr of a stock reporting machine. Pressmen were busy hammering on forms. Printer's devils were throwing old lead into the boiler. Proof readers, including the Editor himself, were busy reading proof, as it came forth from the roaring machine. It was nine-thirty o'clock. Special editions of the paper were pouring forth from the press like the falls at Nagra. It wax ten o'clock. News boys were exclaiming: "Miss Linden Denies Klan's Endorsement of Candidacy". While in the shop, the woman, still overcome by the surreptitiously concocted news story, sank back in a chair, despairingly. "I do not know", she said wearily. "This may not influence the voters to vote for me, as they might have done had this thing not come up. But this one thing is certain: I will hereafter dedicate my life to the suppression of such unfounded calumnies and low brow distortions of justice as this attempt to defame my character". MORAL Be sure you know from what source and from what type of men you are getting your information. A SYMPOSIUM OF SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES Collected From The Newspapers of The World By: THE STAFF WOODROW WILSON "Woodrow Wilson promised mankind a vacation form the most horrible scourge now afflicting it—war. And the peoples of the world bestirred themselves and remained around to watch him make good. Having promised the impossible and having even failed to obtain much that was within the scope of human achievement, he collided with a universal disillusionment and discontent. It is an interesting but perhaps futile and insoluble question as to who is the more dangerous—he who promises much and produces little, thus begetting a great crop of disillusioned cynics, or he who promises nothing and achieves nothing, thus failing either to arouse hope or to produce dejection. I pass this problem on to John Dewey or Stanley Hall, but no fair minded person can well deny that Woodrow Wilson produced more cynics than any other figure in modern history". —HARRY ELMER BARNES in The New York Times. NEGRO ACTORS "The Negro is a born actor, where the white man achieves acting... He gains his effects with means that not only seem natural, but that are natural. He does things beautifully, with his voice, his features, his hands, his whole ungainly body, yet I doubt that he knows that he is doing them beautifully, and if he does know, I doubt that in the knowing he knows how he does them. "I do not believe in the phrase natural born actor any better than the next man. But if ever there was one, I present to the convention the name of Mr. Paul Robeson." GEORGE JEAN NATHAN in The American Mercury. THE MOMENTOUS DECADE "The Will to Peace" illustrated in this effort of the League of Nations is the hope with which the world enters the new decade. That hope would be stronger if only America were associated with the other nations of the earth in the organized effort to prevent in the coming years the monstrous reason' of trying to settle international difficulties in the manner of the decade through whose terrors and tears we have passed". —From The Saturday Review. THE WRATH IN PERSIA "The killing of Vice-Consul Robert Imbrie, the American representative at Teheran, Persia, is greatly to be regretted; but we can see in it no occasion for an international 'incident'. Major Imbrie by his recklessness virtually committed suicide, when he chose to take photographs in the presence of a crowd of natives who were already at a high pitch of religious fanaticism in opposition to Bahaism, natives who have a strong superstition against being photographed." —From The New Republic. 1930 Hon.

GLENDALE WHITE SOX LOSE CHAMPIONSHIP TO ALL STARS AT GOODYEAR PARK The All Stars are now considered a real ball club and strong enough to take on any semi-pro club in Southern California and be an even money bet. The Glendale White Sox so widely advertised because of their recent protracted winning streak went to an inglorious defeat last Sunday by the score of 7 to 2. Slowtime Evans started his first game for the All Stare since their location at Goodyear Park and the he lived up to his name of Slowtime taking tdo hours and forty minutes to turn in the win he is nevertheless the winner and is entitled to all the glory that goes with victory. Seventh Inning Glendale White Sox—Shields walked. Sawyer fled to Jackson. Shields took second on a passed ball. Shellen-back walked. Orsatt singled and Shields was out at the plate Jackson With the exception of one or two errors the All Stars never looked like a better machine when in each inning with men on bases perfect fielding killed off threatening rallies. Glendale had an off day six errors being charged against them. Three of them being made by Carl Sawyer himself. The White Sox believe they can win i na return game and will be seen at Goodyear again in the near future. Van Nuys, however, will be the attraction next Sunday. The score by innings: First inning Glendale White Sox—Young flied to Jackson in right. Dorman kided to Savage in left. Shields singled over to second. Sawyer singled, Dorman en second.

THE GREEN PEPPER TREE CAFE FOR HOME COOKING--AL- SO ROOMS TO LET SPECIAL DINNER PARTIES PREPARED UPON NOTICE MR8. R. H. HALL, Prop. PHONE: HUmbolt 5601 3206 NAOMI AVE. WINNER''---FF ....Central Ave., HUm THE N. N. B. By Martin On Wednesday evening, August 20th, the Y. M. C. A. gym hung out the "Hold out" sign or no other reason than that the grasshoppers took on the Nil Nisl Bonum Club in friendly battle for supremacy. The Grasshoppers from the West Side took a notion to hop over to the 9th street Y and took on the N. N. B. After two strenuous wrestling matches and six fast and furious boxing matches the West Side was declared winners, but not because they won on their own merit but because they happen to get every possible break, and if these is another chance the N. N. B. would like very much to have a return engagement. Out of the eight events, four of the most unpopular decisions were given in favor of the Grasshoppers. The blame can't be laid to anyone person, but between the judges and the referee, their were some rotten decisions made: The first event got underway at 9 o'clock. This was a wrestling match between "Boy" Dade and "Strangler" Reese. The match called for two falls. After ten minutes of hectic wrestling Dade, the Grasshopper, secured a fall. The boys rested for a couple of minutes and went at it hoop and tongs for another ten minutes. After which Dade was declared the winner, having gained one fall in the time allowed. The next was a heavy-weight match between "Billy" Boyce, a Grasshopper and "Buck" Rosser, a Nil Nil man. The big boys had the crowd standing from start to finish. After glight EonoBi tooafu ohrigh Odazne eight furious minutes "Grappler" Rosser secured the first fall with his deadly and most feared headlock. The boys the ncame up for a little air, then desired to do battle again, this time after five minutes "Slippery" Boyce gained a fall eawning the ecount. Thus gaining another rest. Then they wrestled the time out with neither one able to put the other down. This was a draw. Officer Kimbrough officiated at this time. Then came the water-loo, for the Grasshoppers, because there was one decisive victory that they should be credited with and that was the knock out of Russell "Kid" Jones at the hand of Babe (himself). Smith. The first fight was a corker from start to finish with the Eastside man having the better of the argument. This fight was between Ken Levy and A. C. Benjamin. Levy, a Grasshopper, fought well but he was confronted with another who knew his owl and he did spread it. Benjamin did some clever ducking and side stepping that brought the house to its feet every second of the encounter. Finally the last bell rang with A. C. Carrying the fight to his man, he won by a mile. "The second fight was a humdinger. Roy Johnson, the knock out artist of the Grasshoppers, hooked up with Al Johnson of the N. N. B. but he was unable to land one effective punch during the battle. Both boys were named Johnson, and they didn't know who was who, when the cromd yelled to Johnson. Both boys were made to feel good because neither knew who the crowd was yelling for. But at the end of three rounds the Johnson of the N. N. B. had punched the other Johnson into a frazle and here's where the judges or referee made their first error. Some one of them called the contest a draw and an extra round was necessary to decide the issue. Again the N. N. B. Johnson won by a mile. The third fight was a jam up affair. There is no comment on this fight as the writer was one of the participants and he would likely be open to criticism. After three rounds Hudnell was awarded the decision by the referee over Chas. Martin an N. N. B. man. There were many differences of opinion on the outcome of this battle. In the fourth fight, the Grasshoppers uncovered a coming champion in Babe Smith known as Chipmunk. Smith tackled Russell "Kid" Jones in the special event, this fight was to have been the feature fight, but it didn't last long enough as "Chipmunk" clipped clipped Jones on the button with a sharp right that fell him. He camp up groggy then another and another right to the chead put the finishing touch on the Kid. He fought a game fight but was outclassed by the elusive Chipmunk. This was the only fight the Grasshoppers really won. Edwards To Return To Ring On Sept. 2nd 0-00-0 Vancouver. B. C., Aug. 22.—Danny Edwards, Pacific Soast bantam, who is was thought had lain away his gloves, some time ago, principally on account of illness, has given up that idea and will return to the squared arena when he meets Vic Falley (white) in the star 10-round attraction to be staged at the Vancouver Athletic Club here on Granville St., the evening of Sept. 2. NOTICE For the benefit of those persons, who, as a result of not knowing the fundamental principles of true sportsmanship or of a lack of understanding of the general rules governing amateur boxing, are continuing to air and broadcast their remarks concerning the recent contest between the Nil Nisl Bonum and the Grasshopper clubs where there can be no reason to set forth. A. The Amateur Athletic Union of America, recognizes these rules concerning time and extent of bouts. 1. The rounds are to be of two minutes duration with one minute of rest between them. 2. The contestants are to compete for three rounds, and if a draw is called, they are to compete a fourth/round, after which a decision must be given. 3. If for any reason outside of a foul, a contestant fails to continue through the fourth round, his opponent is to be awarded the decision. B. These are the facts concerning the last bout, which seems to be the topic of much discussion: 1. The announcer set forth the rules governing the bout; there was no discussion. 2. The second of as well as the losing contestant himself told the referee, after the draw was called, that he, the contestant, could not go on because of a badly injured wrist. 3. The referee awarded the bout to the injured contestant's opponent. LEON WHITTAKER. The senti-wind up was the Parisian Apple Cider. It was a N. N. B. man's fight from start to finish. Elliott Qualls, a Grasshopper, hopped on the dynamite punching Walte Downs and after two and a half rounds of furious slugging the referee stopped the fight to save Qualls from a knockout. Qualls was simply punch drunk at the beginning of the third and could not stand the going because he was fighting a darn good man, a man who hits like a jack kicks. With some good training and a good handler, Downs could be developed into a good fighter. He can give and take The main event brought together two o the city's most popular boys in Mr. Jim Harrison, a grasshopper, and Mr. Theoplius Smith, a Nil Fisl Bonum man. These boys need no heralding, but just to give the fan a peep into their careers, these are the following statistics received heretofore. Harrison is a Jefferson HI student, a member of the track and foot ball teams, and a runner up to Rudolph Valentino among the ladies. Smith, a Los Angeles HI student and a member of the championship football team. The fight started at 10:40 with Smith leading the fight with a right swing to the head. Harrison retaliating with a left hook to the same spot. After three rounds of real milling the contest was declared a draw which met with approval. In the third round Smith reinjured his wrist which began to swell. The referee advised him not to fight another sound, this being necessary to decide the issue. Without consultation with the N. N. B. manager, the decision was given to Harrison, this being a very unfair thing, and it caused hard feeling on the part of the members. Smith is willing to meet Harrison in a return fight. A committee from the Merry Rounders Club was sent to challenge the winning club. The Grasshoppers accepted the challenge. The date has not yet been decided but will appear soon. Watch for it. The N. N. B. is willing to meet the Grasshoppers again at any future date. MY EXPERIENCE AS A MANAGER I have written about owners, managers and fans. Now I am going to give my opinion about umpires and individual players. I shall start with Tommy Shores. When Tommp and I were playing on the same team I never thought that he would make the umpire that he is and with such little experience. He is the best round local talent that I have ever seen in many a day. He excels many of the umpa back East. "Keep up the good work Tommy, we are for you and I hope some day that you may be calling me out or rafter safe in the big show. Now folks my reason for saying this about Tommy is that he calls them just as he sees them and he doesn't favor anyone, you can prove that by me. INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS Now for the individual players. Spencer Butcher, that peppery catcher is my ideal for a catcher. He is already ready to try something. In other words he is in the game all of the time and his head is awake up. Next Riddle the third baseman. There isn't a whole lot to say about Riddle except that he is a coming star. There are lots of teams back East that would like to have him. Adams now playing first base for the All Stars has a way of his own playing that base but believe me he knows his stuff. Now I have a youngster atshort. Hines. He has the making of a great boy if he is handled right. With a seasoned player or my self on his right I believe another Walter Moore can be made of him. Whatever the past reverses have been I hope the fans will encourage these young ball players and I am sure they will make a winning combination. Next-week I shall tell you about my pitchin gstaff and the rest of my brother ball players. Hope to see you again next Sunday. WHO SAID BOOKER HAD QUIT Wins And Loses In Paso Robles And Taft We thought perhaps Kid Booker had laid down his ring attire for good but we find that he is still swapping punches with the great end near greatest in and around Bakersfield Booker sends two clippings one good and one not so good. Read them yourself. Boker Wins Kid Booker, the old ring master, gave a load of weight to Barney Tulley of Paso Robles and bit him at will. Barney, who has fought the best of the old men of the ring, put up a dandy fight and without a doubt with a bit of training will make Booker step. This draw given by the judges was not taken so well as it looked like Booker all the way. The decision did not take away from the fight and it is listed as one of the real fast bouts that have been pulled off in Pismo. Kid Booker lost the decision to Battling Ivey of Taft, who beat the colored fighter at his own game—infighting. The Taft man forced the fight all the way, keeping Booker in a semilgroggy state continually with vicious hooks to the stomach and jaw. In the third round as the two were milling in the center of the ring Ivey uncorked a short uppercut which lifted Booker a foot in the air and dropped him flat on the canvass. The blow was delivered so quickly that hardly anyone realized how it happened. Fights Gamey Booker tried his best to come back in the last round but was outclassed by the heavy Taft battler. The decision for Ivey was a foregone conclusion.
