Price, Imperial Representative of The Ku Klux Klan For All of California, Swears to Warrant and Arrest of Editors of This Paper For Criminal Libel Phone: VANDIKE 9244 VOLUME 38. Charged Chief Mogu Procures W and M G. W. Price, Imp The Ku Klux Swears to itors of T As we go to press we have just returned from the Chambers of Department No. 3, Judge Chambers, presiding where we had read to us the complaint as sworn to by G. W. Price, Imperial Representative of the Ku Klux Klan charging us with criminal libel and defamation of character, Judge Chambers' arraigned us. We plead not guilty and were released on our own re-cognizance to appear fore him on next Saturday when the date of trial will be set and bond posted for our appearance at the time of trial. What's It All About The issue of April 10th of this paper contained a copy of a letter which had been received by one of our patrons in Watts, California. The letter was purported to have been sent out by the Ku Klux Klan. It was received in mystery at the dead hour of night, the party receiving it turned it over to the police department, through which channel it came to us, and was published in this paper. To this the Imperial Representative of the Ku Klux Klan took exceptions. He called us into conference and finally prevailed upon the City Prosecutor for our arrest. The case is now in the courts and we shall not attempt to try it in these columns. Suffice to say, however, we ask no quarter from the Ku Klux Klan, or any of its sympathetic allies. If to jail us, we must be publishing without malice such propaganda as we in common with all fair minded citizens believe to be prejudicial to good government, we can go with a smile and feel that we are undering a greater service for the protection of society than our fondest imagination would ever make us believe. Again it will be interesting indeed to watch this case, some months ago the community was horror stricken when as a result of Ku Klux activities, murder was committed at Englewood; they watched in vain for results but the Klansmen were so adroit and skillful, nary a one of them was convicted of anything at all. Now the big chief of the Klan strikes out to throttle the press. We opine that it will be interesting to see how far he gets on his mission. Tuesday Night's Speech Another angle is the fact that in spite of anonymous letters and phone calls we journeyed to Watts on last Tuesday night where we spoke to the multitude. We did not fail to pay our compliments to the Ku Klux Klan. Our subject was "Americanism" and we proved our case to the complete satisfaction of all present that no people can excel the Colored Americans for 100 per cent Americanism. This speech might have been the deciding point for on Thursday the Chief of the Ku Klux got his warrant served and in this situation we go forward unafraid as we continue our steady march for law and order, fighting every inch of the way all things which retard our progress and amongst these in the very forefront, we be ieve, standing as a mence to our onward march are the COURT SOLOMO hooded and robed Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. DIRECTOR FOR STAR OF ETH- EOPIA ON THE JOB. MR. CHAS. BURROUGHS Mr. Chas. Burroughs of New York City arrived Tuesday. He is full of enthusiasm and ready for work. Mr. Burroughs is a graduate of Wilberforce, and the Boston school of expression and for years has been lecturer and reader for the Board of Education in New York City.

The Star of Ethiopia is the biggest project ever undertaken by Negroes on the Pacific Coast, from an artistic and education alstandpoint, and the co-operation of all the people is needed.

E. church which was filled to its capacity by students and friends. All local High schools were represented in the contest. The students well supported their speakers by giving their famous school yells and songs. One could plainly note the enthusiasm and pop that was prevelant through the evening. The numbers on the program aside from the addresses were well rendered. Each speaker did his and her best in the delivery of their selections; the orations as a whole were very good indeed. A beautiful silver loving cup is the first prize and the school winning it for three consecutive yearss has the cup to keep.

They came out in large numbers, so large indeed that seating capacity and standing room was at a premium and they stood outdoors to see and hear the message which was to be unfolded to them and for one solid hour and fifteen minutes did they pay rapped attention as the editor delivered his message, and the biting sarcasm and invectives which he boldly and courageously hurled at the Klan and those who sympathized and aided and abetted the Ku Klux Klan. Every word uttered seemed to meet the unanimous approval of this great concourse of people as the editor was frequently compelled to cease speaking while waiting for the defening presence and cheers of approval to subside. I was indeed a most remarkable meeting as well as a most gigantic occasion. PEOPLE WORKED UP The consensus of opinion voiced at the meeting was that there are some Benedict Arnold in their midst.

This being true they were denounced as traitors to the race. The people are all worked up over this situation, and indeed there will from this time on (unless these have repented and can make the people believe that they are sincere) be rough sledding for those who will give aid and comfort to our most vicious enemy. The Ku Klux Klan. It was indeed a most remarkable meeting and gives a practical demonstration of the fact that when they will the colored citizens of any community know and appreciate the knack of really getting together. The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. R. Knox who has fought in and out of season for the things which mean a continued progress for all people in the environs of this section. The Managing Editor was present and made a few remarks which were the recipient of enthusiastic approval by the big crowd present. We were requested to make this address that the people might know for themselves about the infamous attempt to jail the Editor of this paper because he published one of the letters purported to have been sent out to Watts voters by the Klan.

Odd Fellows Observe Annual Thanksgiving Day Services The one great big event of each year as time rolls around is the annual Thanksgiving Day exercises given by the Graud United Order of Odd Fellows on the 2nd Sunday of May each calendar year. Last Sunday was no exception for the Old Fellows were out in great numbers and made a most commendable showing, both in the monster parade which carried them from their Hall, 8th and Wall Sts., to the A. M. E. Zion Church, Cor. Pico and Paloma Sts. At this point the Odd Fellows were reinforced by their most faithful ally the members of the Household of Ruth all resplendent in their uniforms of trimaculate white. Here, the Graud Lodge officers, Patriarchs, leading while the Lodge stood in open formation to the tune of martial music the order marched into the beautiful and spacious auditorium of the A. M. E. Zion Church, where an appreciative program in keeping with the occasion was rendered. At its conclusion the Rev. J. E. Fletcher, pastor of Furlong Tract A. M. E. Church preached the Thanksgiving sermon. No preacher ever preached a better sermon than Rev. Fletcher preached on this occasion, it was indeed a remarkable presentation of the principles of the Order and what it stands for. The sermon will ever stand as a high light in the local achievements of this great order. P. N. F., C. J. Williams, N. G. of Golden Rule Lodge No. 5958, acted as N. G. for the day. He introduced Brother Thomas Lewis as master of ceremonies and filled that position in a highly creditable manner. Sented upon the rostrum were high officials of the order; Past Grand Masters, S. P. Johnson, J. B. Bass, National Grand Treasurer of the Grand Household of Ruth, Eliza Warner. Deputy Grand Master for California Jurisdiction H. Bate, Grand Treasurer for the Grand Household of Ruth of California, Sunshine Miller. Monroe E'gin in a masterly manner delivered the annual Odd Fellows' Address. Mrs. Trainor of Household No. 561 read a most appropriate paper on the status of the order. Prof. Bynum, director of the A. M. E. Zion Choir, directed a most appropriate song program which interspersed the various numbers furnished by the Lodges and Households. It was indeed a wonderful Thanksgiving not only for the Odd Fellows but for all who witnessed the exercises last Sunday. On April 11th he attended Drug Store located at 1100 E. 7th St., asked for a glass of soda, was served by the proprietor, alged to be S. M. Crownneron who demanded of Mr. Garrott 50 Cents for the soda. When asked for a reason for such an unwarranted charge, he said that he did not want to allow the Soda Fountain. Mr. Garrott who already had disposed of the soda, offered 10 Cents in payment for the same, whereupon he was seized by employees of the store was hauled, mauled and dragged into the back room and held a prisoner behind the prescription case for nearly one hour. In the meantime the proprietor called up the police and endeavored to have Mr. Garrott arrested for not paying 50 Cents for a 10 Cent glass of soda. This thing the police refused to do and released Mr. Garrott from his imprisonment, upon going home Mr. Garrott was so physically out that he was confined to his bed for a number of days. Attorney Tyler on the 14th instilled suit against the Jewel Drug Store at 7th and Ceres Ave., on behalf of Mr. Garrott for assault, battery and false imprisonment and demanded $10,000.00 damages for the vicious treatment to which Mr. Garrott was subjected. REV. ROBERT W. BAGNALL Rev. Robert W. Bagnall Director of Branches of the N. A. A. C. P, will speak at a great mass meeting at the Independent Church Sunday afternoon May 17th at 3:30 p. m. Father Bagnall is a well known lecturer and writer on subjects relating to the Negro. He is making a tour of a' the Branches on the Coast bringing to the people the wonderful work the Association is doing all over the country. He successfully engineered the Civil War in New Orleans and migration fight in New Orleans and we hope that he will direct us in similar matters in Los Angeles. The public is cordially invited. An excel'ent program has been arranged, let us turn out at this meeting in true Los Angeles style and give Rev. Bagnall a rousing welcome. PAGE-TEN The African Methodist Minister's Union in Baltimore appointed a committee the other day to make efforts to get colored policemen on the Baltimore police force. We were somewhat surprised at that as we thought as progressive a city as Baltimore would have long ago seen the value of race Policeman. So important is the matter of colored policemen that we urge our ministers in every city where there are no colored policemen to begin now the agitation for them and to keep it up until we shall have colored men on every police force in the country where there are colored people. For we must not forget that the policeman is the representative of the law who gets closest to the people. He is everywhere the most conspicuous symbol of government, so uniformed and armed that no one can mistake him. The his office is humble it is most important. Clothe a colored man with police authority and you have the conspicuous admission not alone of his citizenship rights but his governmental authority. More than that, we want colored policemen because they aid to efficiency. We have had dozens of illustrations in Philadelphia, where there would have been a race riot but for the presence of colored policemen. In 1918 when we did have a riot and the authorities were asking what could be done, the reply of colored-citizens was "send colored policemen into the district". This was done and the riot stopped. In some places white may resent being arrested by Negroes, but they soon get used to that. Colored men were put in the Philadelphia force in 1881, and we have over three hundred of them; they patrol every district in the city. No color line is drawn as to their assignment. They are not assigned to the "colored" districts alone, but to all districts. They do not arrest colored alone but anybody who happens to break the law. Some of the bravest men on the Philadelphia force are colored men. If we were to judge from our experience in this city we would have colored policemen everywhere. Yet we are not those who think Philadelphia is unique in that. In Chicago, New York, Atlantic City, and other places the colored policemen are doing valuable work. We wrote a number of the police chiefs in some of the large cities in quiring whether or not they had colored police. Kansas City, Mo., April 1, 1925. "We have about 22 colored police officers on our force, and while they have made no record of achievement, their services generally have been satisfactory. Colored officers are not stationed in white districts, and unless they use a great deal of tact and judgment their authority is resented by Negro residents. Their sphere of usefulness is limited on this account". Cleveland, Ohio has 9, and a secretary of the Police and Fire Departments, Mr. Charles S. Smith. Atlanta, Georgia and Jersey City, New Jersey had none. Cincinnati, Ohio, on the border has five, and its chief says, "The colored policemen are not as effective as the white, as a rule but we have had a few very good ones. The colored folks themselves do not have much confidence in them, and would rather give information to a white man" (We beg to say that if the latter part of the letter is true of Cincinnati, it is not true in Philadelphia.) Chief Gill of Columbus, Ga., said his city had none. In St. Louis there were 24 colored policemen, including one sergeant, 13 plain clothes men and 10 in uniform. Says Chief O'Brien of St. Louis. "In certain phases of police work. Negro officers are very satisfactory". In Louisville, Ky., two detectives and one police woman "work entirely among the colored people and their services are entirely satisfactory". While in Nashville, Chief J. W. Smith reports, "we have no colored men employed as officers of the law at all. We only have three colored men employed with this department, and they serve as porters". New York has colored policemen and they are doing well. The same is true with Atlantic City where there are colored policemen. There are very few places in which colored policemen have had a chance, where they have not succeeded in making good officers.—The Christian Recorder.

WADSWORTH SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST 666 East 36th Street Another interesting sermon from the mystical book of Revelations will appeal to every Bible reader, when Elder P. G. Roberts, the pastor, presents "The Beast That Was. And Is Nit and Yet Is." Sunday night, May 17th at the 7:45 P. M. Service. When Pastor Rodgers preached from the Revelation, he does not bring some word, strange, fretched theory that neither has reason nor sense, but rather every sermon that he preaches goes to the heart and sensibly instructs the mind. And without and exaggeration the Windsworth Church has long outgrown its quarters—for at every service it is one of the hardest tasks for the whims to seat the people, crowded is the building that many are moved away from the services. The pressing objective is a "New Church Home." And all are working toward this end. Everyone is invited to the Sabbath (Saturday) devotional service at 11 A.M. A. M.

MATT SOLOMON PASADENA DEFEATS LOS ANGELES By: Geneva Stocks By putting up a fast and hard battle Pasadena defeated Los Angeles last Thursday night by a score of 8-8. The Pasadena "six" winning the second game of the season. The basket ball game was attended by a large crowd. Rosalina Depriest starred for Pasadena making five points of the total and Thelma Overton starred for Los Angeles. A thrilling battle was waged between Pasadena and Los Angeles. The next game, which will determine the winner of the season, will be played within the next two weeks. Immediately after the basketball season a tennis tournament will be held by the girls. Pasadena should have a chance having Estelle Brownlee and Geneva Stocks as some of the many players. Mrs. Louise Williams, the center secretary, the clubs feel very fortunate. Mrs. Williams is a real leader, and she is a woman well liked by all. Slick Elected Captain "Slick" Stocks, one of the most popular colored boys that has ever entered the doors of Pasadena High was elected captain of the track team, an honor singly claimed by Stocks. The season is now over and but two stars remain foremost in the track, field squad af the bull dug aggregation. These stars are Captain Stocks and Al Larson, the only man that played in the state meet. Slick has been the best all around man of the year making two points with the former owner, the discus, taking fourth place in the Southern California meet and second in the Coast League meet. He was also Pasadena's best man in low hurdles, placing third in coast meet. Not sat- isfed with these laurels he took third in the shot put in the league affair and has, broad jumped 21 ft. 9 in, in finishing by running a laag in the reelection season, when greater things will be expected of him since his record, stands out conspicuously as an a' round popular high school athlete. Which Ice Company There is an ice company operating in the city under the name of Violet Ray Ice Company whose proprietors are disobliquely prejudicial to Negroes, which fact in authentically known by persons who have been in employment with one of the members of the firm on a certain job. On one occasion he sought to interrupt the building of this church thru the means of circulating a petition to that effect. He further sought to get discharged from the job on which he was the only colored man employed which acted as a boomerang, and lost his own job. Later he engaged in the ice business soliciting the patronage of those on whom he sought to vent his spleen. Is it possible that the Negroes are to stand for this sort of a thing. Let's wake up people, and use our race pride. Mothers' Day Observed The chair of Friendship Baptist Church utilized the morning service in presenting a program in 'observance of Mother's Day, consisting of a song by Mrs. Vaugh and one by Mrs. Hearst, and a paper by Mrs. Connie Hicke together with expressions from individuals of the audience pertaining to mother, which served as quite a source of inspiration. Excavation will soon begin for the addition to First A. M. E. Church, the contract having already been let. The contemplated boulevard which is scheduled for the church proper will add greatly to the value of this institution as it will supposedly face the right of way. Mrs. Eshlyn Penn, a soloist of much rare musical technique made her debut in Recital and reading at the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night, under the auspices of Friendship Baptist Church. C. E.

SCOTT Shades of the Civil War and the days immediately following emancipation of the Negro were mirrored in the assembly when Frederick M. Roberts, the only colored member of the Firty-Sixth Session, presided a short time as speaker. The symbol of civilization's progress was manifest as Assemblyman Roberts guided the destinies of the lower house. Back of him was a large portrait of Abraham Lincoln and facing him were seventy-nine members of the legislature, none of his color, but all of his morality as the Los Angeles legislator—Sacramento Union, April 24, 1925.

STROLLING THRU THE BEAU MONDE WITH MADAMO- SELLE By: Dorothy Jean Armstrong One of those ready-to-step-into dresses in which the busy girl spends so much of her time, has an interesting closing from the neck to below the left arm. From there the effect of a circular closing is carried out by a seam which runs around the back to the right hip. There the shirt has an open pleat. It comes in all the late shades but the best I thought was mid-night blue faced with rust color at collar, and cuffs and down the right side of the skirt, with the collar cut in a new way. A smart parasol which can be used an umbrella on rainy days in blue on the outside and red lined. The stubby handle is bright enameled in red. The modish skirt wraps around the figure, called the "wrap around" skirt. It is highly graceful compared to the tight straight skirt.

GREEN AY 27th MORE ABOUT CIVIC CENTER The Civic Center plans of the Allied Architects Association provide for the grouping of the executive buildings of the city, county, state and national governments about a great open plaza within an easily accessible area known as the Administration Center proper, extending eastward from Las Alturas as far as Los Angeles Street, and being bounded on the north and south by Tempelman Park, a significant treatment of the chosen site providing every faculty for efficient centralization of government offices. This centralization of government offices in the Civic Center proper is not intended to eliminate the location of branch offices in suburban sections of this four hundred square mile city when such branches will, from time to time, be needed, but to serve as the head offices for th efast growing man- city in the turbulent city, county, state, and national governments. Due to the location of this area on a low earth ridge, the plaza facing east and west, would be of the raised order, providing a fit setting of greenery and shrubbery, and well worthy of the civic dignity of the buildings surrounding it. The building sites here provided by the Allied Architects call for structures of the monumental or office type, majestic edifices well canable of housing both the present and future needs of the governments installed therein. Monumental structures for public edifices is an entirely modern development in civic architecture, and is believed by prominent architects to constitute a modern location on campus requirements of governmental buildings because of the space area provided, together with the elimination of congestion obtained in this type of structure. In the old days buildings of the classic type were quite adequate, but new times have brought forth new problems. Governments require more employees, greater numbers of people daily enter the governmental buildings on business. And in the old type structures congestion becomes oppressive to the detriment of efficiency in the services rendered by the various governmental departments. The monumental, or office type edifice eliminates congestion and provides greater housing space within the same ground area as was required by the obsolete classic structure. This is a fact which has been recognized throughout the country by the eminent experts in architectural planning and design, even convinced of the Allied Armed Forces in planning the Administration Center which must provide not alone for the present, but for the future generations as well. It is fitting that Los Angeles should adopt the ultra modern in her civic architecture as she has done throughout her private development. The three north and south arteries of traffic, Broadway, Sunning, and Main Streets, will be depressed under the Administration Center area by means of broad, well ventilated traffic massages providing good lighting and accelerating the speed of through, vehicles. An additional advantage in these traffic massages will be given in the fact that they will provide parking space both above and below ground for motors of persons having business in the various governmental departments. Also the depression of these traffic arteries will be wise resultant from the location of a grounding of executive buildings in the heart of the city. Thus the employees of the various departments will be enabled to work with increased efficiency, undisturbed by the rush of heavy traffic pasting. Still further east, extending to San Pedro Street and confined within the same north and south boundaries as the Administrative Center, the Allied Architects have provided a unit for the Union Terminal Station, fronting oystill another onen plaza. This unit, which would be incorporated in the Civic Center plans only in case the Union Station project is adopted by the authorities, would give the newly arrived visitor as his first impression of Los Angeles, a vista of greep parks and magnificent public edifices. If however, the project for a Union Terminal should be rejected by the railroad officials, this unit would be abandoned, and the Civic Center would be closed by the erection of a large building at Los Angeles St. One of the many important features of the Civic Center plans of Association, lies in the fact that as has been said before, that it is composed of a series of independent units, each capable of either separate or gradual development, and upon completion each tying in perfectly with the rest. At all stages of development, the Civic Center would be a faithful place for the residents of Los Angeles would take her rightful place among world cities, both here and abroad, possessing the finest in similar civic architecture. PRESIDENT COOLDGE YOU HAVE THE ANSWER (Continued from last week Following the nomination came the campaign. During the campaign in his address of acceptance, at a Pilgrimage to Marion, Ohio, attended by hundreds of Colored men and women foe mail parts of the United States. Mr. Harding went out of his way, if one wishes to put it so, to tell what he would do when President. Harding was elected. Did he function; did he keep his word? He did not. He fell down miserably, so far as expectations followed. In the months that followed, there was no let up in segregation in Washington, and there were so few appointments that Colored people throughout the country became disgusted. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Enter Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts President Harding came to an untimely death. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, then vice-president succeeded Harding. "It is too bad that Harding is dead, but long live Coliidge" went from one end of the country to the other, among Sun-Kissed Americans. President Coolidge was cordial. True he did not do much directly, but excuse was made for him by saying: "Well, he is merely serving out Harding's term. Wait until he starts in on his own right, then things will happen." Three months of that "own right" opportunity have passed. What has President Coolidge done? There has not been a single outstanding appointment of a colored man; predecease has not decreased, preservation has not been discontinued. On the other hand, according to unquestioned information, observation and facts from the inside, matters seem to be getting worse rather than better. The Associated Negro Press could enumerate scores of facts in connection with conditions here. Suffice it, at this time, to quote from a confidential letter from one of the ablest and one of the oldest in point of service, government employees, in Washington. The name of this informant is naturally withheld. He is a splendid type of manhood, who has ruined a fine profession or business career by being literally booted about by government employment. Here is what he says: "Folowing the inauguration, you spoke hopefully of a change in conditions here, for I would be brought about in the Coolidge way. I said I would be real glad to into such a change. "Well I think sufficient time has elapsed and I think I see a slight change, but not in the direction honored for. "From my observation the tenacity is a tightening up of the discrimination as formerly practiced. There seems to be a facit understanding between Republican administrative officers, and Democratic clerk cliffs that the chief clerks and other little clerks' will be sustained in whatever manner that further such discrimination. The situation is this: In a very short time, Colored persons will hold no higher positions than menials. "The Race's political readers seem to have centered on Register of the Treasury, and you may feel as I do. I appointed, there is small chance of confirmation. "To strengthen themselves in their positions and to help for our group, it would seem most helpful to take some united action against the discrimination that is now growing and create sentiment more liberal." This is a wail from the inside. The writer of this commotion to the Associated Negro Press is one of the men on the issue of the government service who has been sent down by the iron hand of prejudice. He has a story that few real Americans would care to believe happen in government practice, under both justice and republican administration. The story of hundreds and hundreds of others who have talked to the Associated Negro Press in recent weeks. They are all asking, and those outside of office are asking: "What are you doing to do about it? President Cooidge?" Silence is not a satisfactory answer to this amazingly increasing number. President Busy Everywhere But In Realm Of Colored America Headlines ni daily newspapers say: "Coolidge Strong for Party Loyalty," "Nations May Get Police Force," and many others that indicate the labors of the Chief Executive in the direction of better government, but none of this affects Colored America directly. "The people of our Race believe in law enforcement and we are helpful to all citizens. We are wearied by the hypocrisy of our office holders" said one irate citizen. It is a cold, cold fact, complained of by white and colored Republicans that both the Harding and Coolidge administrations have permitted the Democrat from the South to not only continue holding office, but to continue their vile hatred and propaganda against Colored employees. This is an ope 'nsecret, that no high Republican official has had the nerve to tackle with determination. It is impossible to put in English words the chagrin and disappointment of Colored Republicans if this practice is permitted to continue indefinitely under the present administration. The manner in which these conditions are salved over, or ignored, is one of the additional amazing facts of present day politics. It all harks back to the lamentable and superficial position of 15,000,000 American citizens who are compelled by a fraudulent and unconstitutional political system to endure taxation without the assistance of whoever the member of the group in either House or Senate, a place where more than 150 Senators and 'Representatives are holding office by force of disfranchisement, and where an additional three score and ten are in office because of the votes of Colored Americans in northern states. President Coolidge has the answer. Colored America is awaiting to hear it. Silence is not an answer to this condition of affairs, in the opinion of every Colored citizen in the country. PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH Our S. S. is largely attended and new members are still being added through the faithful Missionary Sister C. Achols. The lesson "Philip, and the Ethiopian Treasurer" gave great inspiration to our hearts. The review of the lesson is always wonderful, the truth is made so plain, even in the primaries, it is understood. The eleven o'clock services began with song and testimonial to the glory of God, following which Miss Rosetta Brooks impressively sang "When Mother Prays". Our beloved pastor brought us a wonderful sermon on "Mother", Luke 1:46-48, "And Mary said, my soul hath magnified the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Savious". Truly we thank God for giving us a man who will not hesitate to tell the truth under all circumstances, to all people. Our souls doth magnify God for such a man, a real father. Space will not allow his sermons. Come and hear for yourselves. God is talking to Los Angeles through his Servant Rozier. Sunday night he brought us a lesson from Judges 14:11. Theme "Sampson's downfall and why". Sampson's life was unfolded like a picture. How his disobedience brought him low. We determined to be obedient in our hearts, and not play with the salvation which God has given us. The missionaries assemble here on Thursdays for prayer and instruction, then to the hospital, and homes helping the sick and needy. Conte and enjoy the light of the gospel, for it is truly shining at Pleasant Hill. COMPTON AVENUE CHURCH OE. CHRIST Our Services were pointed and up to the minute. The Bible school was on time at 9:45 A. M. with a full corn of officers and teachers. Bro. P. W. Zollar at the head of the school. As our Bro. S. R. Cassius is away in the interest of the work, Bro. Isaac J. Williams ascended the rostrum and took for a subject Isa. 7:53. "He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a lamb before her shearer, and as sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. At night he kissed his shearer. Rev. 1:7. "Behold he cometh with sheep and every eye shall see him." Our services for next Lord's day as usual, Bible school at 9:45 A. M. and preaching at 11 A. M. You and friends are welcome.

Dean read the scripture lesson from Prov. 31-10. Rev. Skinner unrached the Mothers' Day sermon. "The price of Virtue is above Rubies." It was a very practical sermon. He spoke to the living mothers especially tenderly of them that had gone, and also from H. T. Lewis, Y. P. U. at 6:30, was well attended, and has a large membership, and a great many visitors. The Sunday for Mother's Day at 8:00 P. M. and the house was crowded. Miss Knox acted as Mistress of Ceremonies.

Brown, the pastor of the Beth Eden Temple for the gift of *pulpit* for use in our open air services. This neighborly act on his part is more than appreciated.

Edwards (By The Associated Negro Press) 188. What was the Armistead Case? One morning in August, 1834, the United States Steamship Washington sighted a ship which flew no pennants and responded to no signals, off Montauk Pt., L. I. Upon investigation the 'Washington' discovered the mystery Pt. to be the 'Armisted, a slaver, whose human cargo had evolted, taken command and gave birth to children in order to return home to Africa. Through the courts of the United States the owners of the ship tried to gain possession of the slaves (whom they designated as pirates) and freight; but Justice Story of the Supreme Court declared the owner's proceednigs unlawful, which decision resulted in the slaves being returned to Africa and freed. 189. Who was Andrew Bryant? One day in 1788, a Negro slave had the temerity to call upon the citizens of Savannah, Georgia, to repent, believe and be baptized, for which he was imprisoned and upon being released, again preached and with renewed fervor. He was again cast into prison, his persistence finally made such an impression on the civil authorities that not only was he left unmolested, but his master gave him the use of a barn for his meetings. The persistent preacher was Andrew Bryant, and the barn, the birthplace of the first African Baptist Church of Savannah. 199. Who was "Little" Steve? Estevancio, of "Little Steve" was one of the few survivors of the De Narvez expedition which was wrecked on the coast of what is now Texas in 1528. "Little Steve" with two other companions wandered over the plains of Texas and Mexico, finally reaching Mexico city. In 1528 he led an expedition and discovered what is now the States of Arizona and New Mexico. He was killed at Cibbola, N. M. in a battle with the Indians who have handed down to posterity wonderful tales of the bravery of the Black Mexican with Chili pepper lips. HOOS! (By the Assocated Negro Liberty) 10. He was born in Maryland, and been history of the race. His talent was first discovered by Edmund Keans, and in 1839 he appeared in London, England as Othello to Kean's Iago. His per- formance attracted world-wide attention and he was decorated by the king of Prussia. He died in Poland in 1867. Hooik?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Greeting in the name of a God who hath created the heavens and earth, and all the intelligent creatures therein: In view of the fact that on May 8th at the funeral of Mrs. Katie Browder, certain interruptions, interferences, and retaliations were thought necessary, which to our mind was very unbecoming at that time and place, and for fear that someone may feel called upon to further criticism: I, the undersigned, beg leave to submit to, in the name of the sufferings, and a copy of the subject matter as we had it outlined, that he may inform himself and not make a second ignorant attack. First: I would say that in the presence of the family and two friends, the head of the family asked that I prepare a discourse, and suggested that I use the line of thought that I had used at the funeral of Mrs. William Dixon a short time ago. He stated that the ministers all had it in for me, and that he had asked his pastor to permit me to have something to say, and that in response the pastor stated that I did not believe like he did; and to this, he had said that I should not break up the church, and that the pastor had given his consent. TEXT: I; TEXT: 4.13. But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that we sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. In view of the fact that said interruption, interference, prevented those who were interested in the subject matter from writing and thus getting an intelligent understanding, arrangements have been made by Dr. Biglow, through the columns of The California Eagle in a series of articles to discuss the subject matter, viz.: 1st—The Condition of the Dead; 2nd—Is the Soul Immortal,? the future hope for the Dead, the full and final result of that hope. A three-months' subscription has been arranged for those interested at 75 Cents. DR. BIGLOW. UNION MISSIONARY PRAYER AND RESCUE BAND TO HOLD MEETING SUNDAY.

Uncle Joe says, "A Dollar may go a long ways, but a "scent" will go a darn sight further if the wind blows hard enough." You ain't lying! The declamation contest which was held at Phillips Temple, C. M. E. Church under the auspices of the Southern California, Alumni Association last Friday evening, was well attended by everyone. Although Roosevelt High won the first prize, many were in favor of Mr. Tommy Anderson of Pasadena High. Each school was well represented by its student body which was accompanied by two or more snappy, peppy, red-hot yell leaders, especially Jefferson High, while the Alumni Orchestra furnished the good music. I say, who was it who ditched the Spark Coils and disconnected the gas regulator from A. W.'s question? If there is any suspect thing as getting a divorce after being married in a mock wedding, to presume Miss Dorothy Patton and Mr. A. W. Parish must have one by this time. Waldo Cooley (pictured) The Girl Reserves gave a red-hot El Stampo (dance) last Saturday night at Adams and Central, and everybody turned in (bed) that didn't turn out. What kind of a fowl is this? It has a long neck, long legs, feathers, long bill, eyes, web feet, stands on one ear and barks like a dog. Think it over and watch for answer next week. Miss Iris Bowie of 409 E. 41st St. was seen weeping very bitterly the other day on the steps of her front porch, by the Sparks editor. Naturally the Sparks editor stopped and asked her what the trouble was. Iris looking up and tears flowing gently from her eyes replied, "I just baked a two-pound layer cake and my dog ate it." "Weel," said the Sparks editor, "there are plenty other dogs in this world." Miss Ione Johnson is very curious to know, what is going to happen next. Answer: Nothing is never going to happen nowhere. Miss Marie Mason keeps asking, "What is going on at Jeff High?" What must we tell her? We hope everyone will turn out to the Wamus Frolie next Saturday night at Adams and Central. "ELDER EADMORE DEACON: Say Elder, we enjoy your sermons so much, but why do you preach the same sermon every Sunday?

It is ridiculous indeed to continue to support the old line companies which in turn refuse to this people any recognition in any manner whatsoever, and in forming this company those who are behind it are not only helping themselves but are rendering a mighty service to a race of people. The personnel of the Golden State Insurance Company are high class men of honor and integrity, they will stand the test as men of extraordinary ability, gained from experience and by intuition. We commend them, likewise do we endorse and commend as formed, the Golden State Insurance Company.

Last Tuesday evening, despite anonymous letters received and warnings by phone and advice of friends that we were taking an unnecessary risk; despite the fact of some persons who had announced in loud voice that they would go to the scene of battle with us and failed to show up, we, in company with our life partner, journeyed to Watts to fill our engagement to speak against the diabolical methods of the Ku Klux Klan and to give the facts in reference to the attempt of Ku Klux influences to cause our arrest and imprisonment for publishing propaganda alleged to have been sent forth by the Ku Klux Klan in the city of Watts. We answered roll call on time. We met a determined and loyal citizenship who defy the ignoble Klansmen and are on their way for the things which lift men up. We were glad to be there, they seemed glad to have us. The cowards who made the threats were absent and there was no untoward happening. We are satisfied that the Klux have lost their sting and with their black reinforcements, if there be any, will go down to an ignominious defeat and disgrace. OFFICER JONES SHOULD PAY PENALTY FOR MURDER The District Attorney of Los Angeles should not hesitate to issue a warrant for the arrest of officer Jones who has no doubt committed a crime when he shot and killed Crystal Holcomb in effecting his arrest last Saturday afternoon. The question has long since been decided that the only excuse for an officer to kill a person he seeks to arrest is when his own life is in danger, and when his prisoner is about to escape and only in this instance when his prey has committed a felony. In the killing last Sunday officer Jones knew no felony had been committed. He knew that the man he killed was a city employee. He knew that he was unarmed; he knew there was no possibility of his ultimate escape; he knew it was only a question of a few more blocks pursuit and he could arrest his man without the shedding of blood. But no, he was looking, it seems to us, (after hearing the evidence) for real excitement and in wild west fashion drove his car hurtling after Holcombe, bent on bringing him down and was satisfied with nothing less. To our way of thinking under the law Jones committed murder and should just as relentlessly as he sought to kill a human being, be prosecuted and pay the penalty for his dastardly deed.

"Come again, Mr. Bass and bring Mrs. Bass, yet I know that it is indeed a treat to have two persons in our city at the same time of your magnitude, yet we need such people as you to remind us as a people that we are a part of this nation and have a glorious past, and our future all before us.

NOTABLE PROGRAM THIS SUNDAY AT INDEPENDENT CHURCH Opportunity to be Subject of Pastor American Mutual and Golden State Officials will speak in the evening Rev. N. P. Greggs will deliver a special sermon Sunday morning, May 17th that should be heard by every person. His subject will be "Opportunity." Dealing especially with the opportunity offered between the cooperation of the church and business. The sermon should be well attended by an appreciative congregation. The general public agrees that the influence of the church should be felt in all business. Christian influence leads to better and more stable business. Making religion practical to every day life and enabling a man to be a better man and Christian while he sojourns on this earth is one of the great problems of the American Church. Leading clergymen agree that the influence of the church must be felt in every phase of human life. The creation of Ivceums, leagues and associations in churches are but steps in the direction to increase the service of the church. Rev. Greggs' sermon will come in at a timely date. Evidences of an increased racial consciousness and the awakening of the people to the many opportunities offered in local business, assures his sermon falling on eager ears. *The evening service will be conducted by the Joint Committee of the American Mutual Benefit Association and Golden State Guarantee Fund-Insurance Company. The speakers will be Mr. William Nickerson, Jr., the foremost insurance man of the West, and with over 20 years experience; Dr. H. H, Towles, an outstanding physician although new, in the community; and Mr. James McGregor, the U. S. C. Orator, President of the Junior N. A. C.

Jones "SHAME REPAID" "For your shame ye shall have double and for their confusion they shall rejoice in their portion"—Isa. 61:7. Perhaps no nation in all human history has suffered as the Jews have suffered, Isaiah the Seer, the Prophet, the Spirit-visioned man of God forsaw it all. He also-foresaw the shame and suffering that had to be endured by Christ and His church. Then he saw the glory that was to follow, a glory for which both the believing Jew and the church of Christ still wait and hope and suffer. 1. For Your Shame. It was the unpleasant duty of Isaiah to cry aloud without sparing and tell God's people of their sins. Moreover he was compelled to reprove their hardness of heart, rebellion, idolatry, uncleanness and general backsliding and the terrible consequences thereof. For as punishment for all this: their fruit mildewed, their cattle cast their young, their women became barren, their men lost the virility of their noble manhood; the Babylonian canvity: the Greek and Egyptian suburations; the reign of Herod, the Roman conquest; the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem; the scattering of the nation; the enslavement of the sons and daughters of Jerusalem; the age long persecution that followed, the Russian Programs, the French and German discrimination—all these came on the Jews, who had not lived up to the letter or spirit of their law, and at last had rejected their Messiah. Your shame. The world has seen lots of it. Butkobeloved for their Father'sakes the Hebrews are not entirelyDropped of Gor, Ro. 11. Always there has been a remnant of them who believed the gospel. Moreover they are the leading financiers of the world. They prosper. They hold high positions in the councils of the nations. Our Bible is a Jewish Book, and it is at all times the best seller, and the most authoritative of all books. The nations name their children after Jewish harbs. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Joshua, Gideon, Samuel, Isaiah, Jesse, Fekkel, Paul, John, Joseph, Benjamin, Solemn, Jonathan Asim, Fimmy, Mary, Martha, Hettie, Ruth, Elizabeth—al these names so common, clarify, as it were the Jewish people. Jesus, the Messiah, whose churches adorn the cities of the earth and doctrine of salvation cheers the hearts of men and opens to the hearts of heaven, was a Jew—on the human side. The Jew is like the bush that burned and was not consumed. "You shall have double." Shame? Yes. It belongs to human life. It is a part of that experience that makes men truly great. It is the wages of sin, its the inevitable result of sinful connections. But "Ye have double." Your God is a God of erasure, of love, of truth; "Ye shall have double." Your shame shall not be eternal your distress shall not last forever. Your God has better purposes planned for you. For your shame, ye shall have double." He is faithful. (To be continued) Dr. Frederick Langdon For City Council In The 11th District Dr. Frederick Langdon is the logical candidate for City Council from the 11th District. This fact is attested by the enviable record which he made in that position and from which he voluntarily retired several years ago. At the recent primaries at the solicitation of numerous friends he permitted his name to go on the ballot. The esteem in which he is held was registered at that time. He received such a flattering vote in a field of strong men. Now that the race is down to two aspirants, it is up to the people whether or not they will have a man with experience and who has proved his worth or whether they will choose one who has yet to learn his lessons in state craft. Dr. Langdon has at all times stood the test for a square deal for all people, and there should and we do not believe that there will be any serious opposition to his election. ```markdown ``` LEAVES FOR SOUTH AMERICA LEAVES FOR SOUTH AMERICA 1 MRS.

No higher compliment can be paid the voters of the 11th District than the opportunity to vote and work for the election of such a high character as Dr Frederick Langdon for their Councilman from this district. Ralph Criswell For City Council 7th District Coming out victorious at the primaries this peerless champion of all the people, Hon. Ra'ph Criswell, should now receive at the hands of the voters of the 7th District a support which will prove beyond per adventure the esteem and confidence in which he is held. Ripe with a rich and varied experience Mr. Criswell will indeed be the most valuable member of that body and as a consequence will be enabled to accomplish much for the district and reader service of inestimable value to the future growth and progress of Los Angeles. His record speaks for itself. It demonstrates that in all his tenure of office that he has stood unfalteringly for the people. All classes, groups and businesses have in him an advocate and friend. The primaries have passed, every stone has been moved out of the way and the triumphant victory for the people's champion is predicted. However there should be no letting up in the campaign or to take anything for granted; but keep the good work up by telling every voter who stands for the best interests of the district in which he lives, that it is their bounded duty to vote and work for the election of Ralph Criswell for the City Council at the election on June 2nd. We shall in our two succeeding issues give to our readers accomplishments of Ralph Criswell, which will be of particular interest to our group and a practical demonstration of his well known square deal for all.

Dick Donald, matchmaker and promoter of the big event of June 6th, is planning to use one of the two above named boys against a first rate lightweight in the curtain raiser of the super double main event attraction. Should any of the four leading lightweights of the double main event hesitate long enough on their way to their various dressing rooms to watch the preliminary event they may see in action a colored boxer which whatever of the four wins the belt will have to meet for the championship of the World. "JUNE NIGHT"---- "What is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever, come perfect days." CHARITY DANCE FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 5th, 1925 ASSEMBLY AUDITORIUM 9th and Central Avenue SUNNYLAND JAZZ—"NUFF SAID" Admission 50 Cents This big boxing event is the talk of Los Angeles and all adjacent towns in sporting circles. The four greatest lightweights in the world today: Ace Hudkins, Tommy O'Brien, Phil Salvadore and Sammy Mandell will clash as follows: Hudkins vs O'Brien; and Salvadore vs Mandell, and the winner of each of these bouts will meet at Ascot Park July 4th for the lightweight championship of the world. In the July 4th clash the new champion will be presented with a diamond belt, emblematic of the title. The double main event on June 6 is by far the greatest card that has ever been offered to the fight fans of the West. Already, fanning bees are being stage at various training camps and spitting hangouts to the probable winner of each bout. Each of the four contestants has a big following but after a careful canvas of the fight followers it seems as if Hudkins, who is the greatest card on the coast today, has the greatest number of sponsors. All the principals are now in active training. Salvadore is using Dick Donald's Lyceum camp for his workouts. He will go into the hard grind about May 15th. Huhkins is holding forth at the Newsies gym and is gradually working himself into faultless fettle. Tommy O'Brien has taken to the open air for his prep. work. Using Joe Pirrone's baseball park at Hooper and 38th Street. His injured right hand is about healed and ready for ring action. Sammy Mandell boes in New York on May 19th and will then hike it to Los Angeles arriving here about May 24th. He will be in prime shape when he gets here. The sale of reserved seats opened at 39 Spring-Broadway Arcade Monday morning and reservations were taken up fast. Already the sale of reserved seats has reached $40,000 and it looks very much as if a $100. 000 house will be on hand the night of June 6th to witness this super attraction. Promoter Mc Donald made a big hit with the fans by making his top price for reserved seats at $5.00. The scale of prices is general admission $1.00, reserved seats $2.00, $3.00, and $5.00, war tax extra. The telephone number for reserved seats is VAndie 3525 and 3526. GODREY IN FRISCO GETTING READY FOR RENAULT GODREY IN FRISCO GETTING READY FOR RENAULT About midnight Tuesday night, George Godfrey, accompanied by "Cherokee" Tom Cox and Baby Gans, Colored lightweight champion of the Coast, left Los Angles es in Cox's automobile for San Francisco. Godfrey will have about two weeks to get acclimated for his main event with Jack Renault, Canadian heavyweight, to leave the lease park on the afternoon of June 6th. Sam Baker and Victor Alexander are to leave later in the week in Sam Baker's car. They will act as sparring partners for Godfrey and "Cherokee" Tom Cox will most likely have charge of the camp. There is also a possibility that Sam Baker and Baby Gans may box on the same card. YOUNG DUDLEY EASY WINNER OVER CHICK ROACH AT EUREKA Eureka, California—Young Dudley, of Oakland carried too many guns for Chick Roach (Del Dozer) of Eureka, and easily took the decision after ten rounds of milling in the main event of the Legion boxing show at the Armory last night. Dudley was too fast and although Roach packs an awful wallop, he could not use it effectively in last night's bout. Dudley won seven of the ten rounds and there was no doubt whatever as to who would be awarded the decision. The battlers started rather slowly and trying to figure each other out, for the first two rounds, which were even. In the fourth stanza after sparring around a little, Dudley uncorked a right to Roach's head that staggered the local boy. Dudley easily took this round. For the next five rounds Dudley came pretty near to having his own way about things and won each of them easily. In the sixth frame Roach uncorked a righ t hand to Dudley's abdomen which landed low. Dudley evinced great pain at the blow but whilerefree Dutton waved him aside and took up the battle with renewed effort and drove Roach around the ring with swinging lefts and rights. The eighth round was about the fastest of the bout. Both men came out swinging and slugged for a while in the center of the ring. Dudley was able to hold his own in this department, as well as in the boxing end of the fight. This round was even. Dudley Takes Ninth. In the ninth Dudley fought rings around Roach landing hard lefts and rights so fast that the eye could hardly follow the movements. In the final und Roach started out as if he was trying to make up for all of the boating he was taking by sailing into Dudley with both fists but the Negro battler came back in kind and took the final round and the bout. Lyceum Card Looks Good For Saturday EDDIE HUBICK POPULAR ON EASTSIDE IN SEMI-WINDUP Chuck Borden and Walter Rooney, two fighting fools, have been matched to hook up in the ten rounds main event at the Lyceum next Saturday night. Rooney has been out of the traces for about six months but recently returned into active training and is in the best of shape again. For a long time he was regarded as the best 183 podder in Southern California and was a great favorite with Hollywood Stadium. He is clever, a hard hitter and can stand the gaff. Borden is tough meat. Recently he knocked out the pride of Pasadena, Yiung-Lancho at the Armory in the second round and made a big bite with the crowd. Both lads will try for a quick knockout and a whale of a battle is sure to crop up soon after the gong sounds. In the semi-windup Connie Bell and Eddie Hubick will box six rounds at 155 pounds. This is a rematch at the request of Lyceum fans who went wild over their torrid mix-up about two weeks ago in the same place. The rest of the card is as follows: Young Carpentier vs. Pee Wee Nolan, 118 pounds, four rounds; Young Gonzales vs. Jack Forbell, 146 pounds, four rounds and Kid Ray vs. Cleon Collins, 120 pounds, four rounds.

Columbus Operator Dedicates New Building (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Chicago and other cities of tremendous populations of Negroes are prone to grant credit for the advance in general business among us. However, it is a fact that when one regards the laws of proportion, some of the smaller cities have just reason to dispute with the larger places the claim to superiority in many directions. Columbus, Ohio, is one such town. Several times have citizens of that Ohio capital been featured in stories that told of commercial and business development. The recent dedication of the Theresa Building, named in honor of the builder's wife, brings forward the name of James A. Jackson as a real operator and general business factor of more than a longevence. This $75,000 business loan at Long and Calmfield streets was held at April 19th. It houses John Logar, The Long Street Pharmacy, The Coleman Service Co., Dr. Anton Tribbelt, a dentist, Dr. J. Harmon Wilson, James Tyler and Sidie Steam, all physicians. Jackson, with Mrs. Ruby R. Williams, widow of a former business partner, is the owner of the Dunbarn theatre, a house of 900 seats with all modern equipment including a $25,000 pipe organ the installation of which was made at the same time that $50,000 in alterations were made on the property that originally sect more than $75,000. With another local citizen, he is interested in the Jackson-Logan apartments, a $200,000 property, the first floor of which is occupied by a bakery and restaurant, while the three upper floors are tenanted by families. There are still other properties in the city that belong to him. Notwithstanding this fact, he is himself a renter insofar as his home is concerned. He resides on Monroe Ave and Long street, in one of the cities' finest residence districts. A nephew, Orpha Smith Jackson, manages a billiard room opposite the theatre that is one of Mr. Jackson's earliest ventures, and one of the most successful ones. It is remarkable how the business instinct will attract like associates. Mrs. Williams, one of his business partners is in an unusual business for a woman of any group; and she is making a success with it. She operates a feed and grain store with such acumen that she is regarded as one of the richest women of the state.

HENRY ACOSTA ON SAME CARD AT LYCEUM CLUB In spite of the fact that Baby Gans didn't look at all like himself in the ten round main event at the Lyceum Athletic Club, Saturday night and he got a draw for his work, the fans in general and also writer believed Gans should have had the decision. Too much holding and wrestling in the clinches took considerable speed out of the match and put it in the class of a just so-so contest. At long range Layman couldn't lay a glove on Gans who at times had Layman's head bobbing about like a cork with a left jab. Gans fault was his holding in the clinches when Layman would try and sometimes land to the kidneys. Gans claims he was hit low about the fourth round and asks for a rematch. Little Joe Burch had Henry Acosta on the canvass and was pounding him so unmercifully in the third round that the referee raised the popular little scraper's glove in that round. The bout was scheduled to go four times, good representation of Central Avenue Fans traveled up-town to the Lyceum to see Baby Gans and Joe Burch work. The Cat's Me-ow!!

Rev.

With thousands of our People coming to California, said Rev. Cole, it becomes our religious duty to provide a place where homes can be bought at a price that every able bodied man or woman can afford to buy. With an opportunity to buy lots at from $125.00 up there is not a newsboy of our Race who cannot buy a lot and with the terms reduced to $10.00 cash and $5.00 per month, it is the duty of every loya Race, woman or child to build the wonderful give inspiration to the younger members of our group for years to come.

SUNNYLAND AT ITS BEST Everyone surely enjoyed the Sunnyland Orchestra and it seems that every Sunday they play with more inspiration and vim. Perhaps it is the clear, invigorating mountain air, and the mineral water that accounts for it, but it is a well known fact that their music is better in Eureka Villa than anywhere else; though wonderful wherever it is. Everyone enjoyed the dancing in the wholesome atmosphere of the great out doors. Sunday was just the day for hiking as it was a little cooler than the early part of the week and you could see many people wending their way over the hills and through the canyons. Hiking is considered one of the best exercises and Eureka with its rolling knolls and canyons makes it both interesting as well as beneficial. Mrs. Chas. Lawrence's Inn at Eureka had its regular run of customers and friends. Also Mr. Mosley was kept busy all day. There is hardly anything in the way of food that you --- Many new agents are being added to the Eureka Villa staff, as lots are now selling so fast, that on big days the former amount of agents were not enough to look after the prospective buyers. At present there are over five hundred lots sold in Eureka Villa. Everyone is glad to see all the new buildings going up in Eureka, and real houses they are too. A large six-room house has just been completed, belonging to Mrs. Davis and it is as modern as any you will find in Los Angeles or other cities. Mrs. Hawkins is building the first house to be built in the third unit. This is built in a beautiful secluded spot surrounded by hills.

CRAIG, NOTED GARAGE OWNER, PASSES AWAY. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1925. AU L. E. CRAIG, NOTED PASSES Perhaps no bit of news in auto circles has caused such deep regret as that announcing the death of Mr. L. E. Craig. The not wholly unexpected it was indeed a surprise to many who did not know his suffering. PIONEER AUTO MAN Mr. Craig entered the auto field some years ago and for the past several years ran the L. E. C. Garage. There must be some pioneering and sacrificing and such was his case. Mr. Craig was one of the first of our group to open and operate a real garage and repair shop and as a result his ups and downs were many from an experimental standpoint. 1. MR. J. E. CRAIG Just as it appeared he was about to realize something as a result of his effort he was stricken down and what seemed to be only at the time a slight ailment turned out to be an affliction so serious it finally caused his death. But his wake of business efforts he has left a paved trail, something which, if nursed, may yet turn out to be a sensation as a business enterprise. Well liked, he leaves a legion of friends. Mr. Craig was a member of the East Side Auto Dealers Association and was buried from Rev. Shield's Church. Pacific Highway To Be Closed at Night CONSTRUCTION WORK UNDER WAY AT DOG CREEK BRINGS ORDER (By A. P. Night Wire) Sacramento, May 11—The following announcement regarding the opening and closing of the Pacific Highway, where construction is under way in the Sacramento River Canyon, is made by the California Highway Commission. Beginning Saturday and continuing for the remainder of the summer, the Pacific Highway between Halfway Creek and Dog Creek in the Sacramento River Canyon, Northern Shauna county, will be opened to traffic at 7 a. m. and close at 10 p. m. daily. The hours announced are a modification of the existing regulations and are necessary to permit basting and grading operations where widening and straightening of the highway is under way. The son of the man who died with his boots on bids fair, opines Edgar Dorsey, to die with the headphones on. * Disturbing the Peace How some can like the James they do Gets my curiosity.

Hugh E. Macbeth, Presiding, stated that the property at Monrovia was all paid for and all taxes cleared. This property has enhanced in value due to the large building activity in the neighborhood, and predicts that it will increase. He stated that the need in now very pressing for larger hospital facilities and accommodations for our group, and felt that the time is at hand to begin plans for securing means for building. The idea met with the approval of each and every member, and a united vote for the appointment of a committee with the above object in view was appointed. Major Loving was named as Chairman; Secretary, Claude McKinney, and Messrs. Taft and Brown associated. This committee will devise plans for a great Building Fund Drive, and the public at large will be asked to lend its aid with the building, as it has so nobly done in purchasing the valuable property in Monrovia.
