The remarkable genius of this musician was reflected by the wonderful music presented by this organization which stamped it as one of the best musical organizations which has ever appeared from local ranks. Only in practice since last December, the band-played like veterans, and received thunderous applause. Roena Muckelroy In Recital at College of Music In keeping with an established policy of the College of Music, University of Southern California, Miss Rena Eloise Muckelroy, Lyric Soprano, was presented in a Senior Voice Recital, Wednesday evening, May 26th, at the University Touchstone Theatre. Miss Muckelroy has spent the past four years as a pupil of voice, theory, and languages and has been under the careful vocal instruction of Mrs. Annie Mottram Craig, ranking professor of music, whose sincere efforts, personal interest, thorough and capable knowledge of the most effective methods of vocal technique and pedagogy, were culminated into a voice developed out of superior methods and expressed in tones of enviable beauty. The Recital, it is unanimously agreed, has never been surpassed by a senior in a similar performance in the history of the University. It was an actual example of what can be accomplished when the talent is discovered and when the advantages of modern training. For Miss Muckelroy commended the attention and fed the enthusiasm of her audience from the moment she made her first approach until the program was ended. She sang several selections in French, Italian, German, Russian, Old English and the modern English Languages and one Negro Spiritual, "Balm in Gilead." Perhaps the most difficult Italian sou number was "Aria—Caro Nome." A. C. BILBREW L. C. BILBREW LADIES M THAN E Vol. 39 has demonstrated his genius in her and the West's premier song sens a genuine surprise on lastented the Forresters' Wonder second Baptist Church. The reen was reflected by the wonder-organization which stamped it as actions which has ever appeared practice since last December, the received thunderous applause. from the Opera "Rigoletto." So effective was her rendition of this number that the faculty of the College of Music invited her to repeat it the following Monday evening in Bovard Auditorium n a special Commencement Service. In German, Schubert's "Der Lindenbaum" and Schumann's "Die Lotusblüse" were worthy tributes to the genius of German musicians. Among the Russian selections, "Why," by Tschakowsky, was received with a peculiar appreciation because of its romantic appeal, and chiefly because the transitions from a lower level to a higher range obviated the same ease and flexibility which characterized the entire program. In the French there was "Charmont Oiseau" from the opera "The Pearl of Brazil," with white accompaniment. As difficult as it was, its rendition portrayed a wealth of vacill control, ac clear and sympathetic interpretation. And every selection which was sung in a foreign tongue was so clearly articulated that their literal translation required a lot of effort, according to professor of fictional languages. The Laws with the delicaté air" and "Nymphs and Shepherds" old English airs, "Spirit Flower" by Campbell Tipton and "Balm in Gilead," a Negro Spiritual by H. T. Burleigh, which was sung uncompanied, comprised the last group of songs. And in the concluding numbers, which were without doubt the climax of the program, Miss Muckelroy combined personal attraction, artistic skill, and vocal beauty without the slightest degree of affertion. In each selection there was an appeal for every attentive listener. Her voice portrayed a natural sweetness, delicate shades of meaning, a clear and elastic range, resonance, a scholarly interpretation, and a musical soul. And Dean Perry of the College of Music in commenting upon the LADIES MINSTREL THAN EVER. CU A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1926 Recital stated that "Miss Muckelroy reflected great credit upon Mrs. Craig and the College of Music. A credit which will be very semisibly appreciated in the world of musicians." And he further stated that programs of her recital will be sent to other Universities as an example of what may be accomplished at the School of Music. Miss Muckelroy is the capable president of Upsilon Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority; is very prominent in academic and social activities; and has represented the University of Southern California several times on the "All University Radio Programs" broadcast over Radio Station, K-F-I. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright Muckelroy, reside in San Bernardino, California. Big N. A. A. C. P.

Brawley, Cal., May 20—Last year at the beginning of the cantaloupe season a committee of local colored people went to the Chamber of Commerce and protested against the employment of large numbers of outsiders of the other race while colored citizens and tax payers remain idle.

For instance here is their repertoire of playing instruments besides singing solos or duets. Miss Annie Garrett plays piano, cornet, saxophone and sings a bewitching contralto.

OSBORNE PRAISES LOS ANGELES ABOVE ALL OTHER CITIES Kansas City, Mo., May 20—Mme. P. Erlyne Osborne, who is rapidly becoming a national figure among our prominent women, has just returned from an extended tour which included all the large cities of the East and West, notably Los Angeles, Cal., where she made many friends. She will be remembered as the sponsor for the Ministers World Tour to take place soon and on which she will accompany them. Madame Osborne is an example of what the women of our race can accomplish by perseverance and endeavor. Beginning as the wife of Rev. Wm. Osborne who is at present Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. Church, she branched into various fields of art. She taught piano, millinery, beauty culture and Dramatic Expression founding the notable "Osborne Players." At present she is traveling, holding Recitals and occupying the position of Editor of the Women's Missionary magazine which has a world-wide circulation. In the meantime, this versatile woman has accumulated a comfortable home in this world, her wealth being repaired at about $20,000 beside an apartment house at 17th and Tracy and several rent houses here, also property at Glasgow, Mo., Omaha, Neb, and Seattle, Wash. Their home here is given to be the most beautiful in the city. Built of natural stone its imposing two-storied height overlooks from a knoll the beautiful lake at 28th and Vine. The fine furnishings were all purchased in New York and the beautiful floors marbled in a design at once original and attractive. While in New York some few days past she was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Randolph of the 'Messenger magazine. She contemplates an early return visit to Los Angeles the visit to the city is what says is the most beautiful, most hospitable and its race men and women most progressive. News From Abroad Florence Cole-Talbert, America's Song Bird, now in Italy, has received a cablegram from the Sesqui-Centennial Committee, Philadelphia, asking her to appear at the Centennial in August.

BLODGETT IS HOST OVER SEVENTY-FIVE GUESTS AT GRAND BARBECUE AND OUTING. HILLS OF SANTA CLARA ECHO WITH THE MIRTH OF LAUGHTER AND GENERAL GOOD-WILL OF CHILDREN AND GROWN-UPS IN THEIR HAPPINESS AND PLEASURE By: JOHN E. PROWD "And the road leads on, to the long afternoon. And stretches away into the night." Beginning early Friday, May 28th and continuing until an early hour Saturday morning, the moving of automobiles, headed toward the Santa Clara Ranch, (Lower California, Mexico) was steady. The occasion was the annual Barbecue and Celebration of the purchase of that beautiful ranch by The Lower California Land and Development Company. The jollification at this time, however, was one fraught with more interest, more and original member of the Board of enthusiasm and more encouraging Directors of the Lower California hopes than ever before, for all of Land and Development Company says which there was good reason. OFF TO MEXICO The official car (a Nash) and really the trail blazer, of whose crowd we formed a part, conveyed the owners, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Littlejohn, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Stevens and your humble scribe. We were off at 1:30 A M. Saturday, trailed by Mrs. Vera Fliess, Flint, which was piloted by Mr. Claudius Troy. At 6:45 A. M. we pulled into San Diego, and after a minor adjustment on the Flint's vale, left there at 8:50 A. M. headed for dear old Mexico, the land of freedom and opportunity—where a man breathes the atmosphere of tolerance, where his ambitions and dreams lie within himself for realization, and not within color. It's a wonderful feeling that, which rushes through the very soul and causes every hope, every aim, ever ambition which has been dormant with inactivity to pulgate and vibrate with new life—REAL EXISTENCE! Well, after traveling up hill and through dale, over real good country road—about 27 miles—we arrived at the Santa Clara Beach house at 3:30 P. M. Saturday, but the worse for our trip, only a little tiring, and dusty. After a general washup, we announced at 6:30, this ever, and a stroll or chit-chat indulged in, all or repair or chit-chat indulged in, all for the night. Soon all was slumber and nothing but a wonderfully blue sky, with bright and twinkling stars and a full, golden moon, keep watch over all. THE RANCH Sunrise (5:30 A. M.) found Mr. Littlejohn (who was to act as our guide), Assemblyman F. M. Roberts and myself asstir, securing a cup of coffee preparatory to mounting our broncs to travel over the six hundred odd acres of waving wheat and barley, which could easily reach an ordinary man to his shoulders. Mr. Littlejohn stated that he was satisfied that there were more than five thousand sacks of wheat and barley in the crop, and that one could readily see the returns with wheat and barley selling at $3.50 per sack. It was indeed a wonderful and delightful to behold the fields of brown wheat, stretching ahead of you than the eye could discern. We rode until tired—never once leaving the wheat belt—and returned, not covering it all, at about 1:00 o'clock to wash up and get ready for the big barbecue; Mr. Louis M. Bloidgett, to i whom this large and best crop of wheat and barley on the whole peninsular belongs, is justly proud of his investmet and six months' efforts at Santa Clara, and is much encouraged and enthused at the outlook. He says that he hopes to double this crop next year—and if modern machinery and man's brain mean anything, we don't doubt for a moment but this hope is a realized fact. His machinery, all new and modern—a tractor, a sower, a plough, a header and thrasher—can work wonders in a productive soil only waiting to be utilized. And this is not all Mr. Bloidget has accomplished this short space of time. he has placed on the ranch over 100 head of cattle and over a dozen horses and mules, which graze on the hillsides, and are as fat and sleek as any corn and hay-fed animals. He is very confident that hogs could be raised on a large scale and made to furnish a good revenue in that section and proposes, he says, to make the hills and valleys of Santa Clara echo the sound of these grunting animals this summer..

The mer, was, more raging all of and original member of the Board of Directors of the Lower California Land and Development Company says that this ranch consists of 8,762 acres, of which more than half is level, rolling plains. The place, (as one can be continued, even more dotted with springs, and it is the belief of several members of the company that an artesian well could be struck at a certain spot (and he pointed it out to us) on the side of a knoll which could irrigate the whole ranch. He is as elated with conditions at the ranch as a baby with a new toy, and remarks often that the wheat crop is the finest Santa Clara has ever seen. THE BARBECUE At 2:00 P. M. Sunday, all was in readiness at Sulphur Spring under the big oak tree, and all were summoned to enjoy the biggest barbecue yet staged in that section as guests of Mr. Louis M. Bloogett. The fatted calf—a young steer weighing 'over six hundred pounds—had been butchered, and after he had spent a night over the barbecue pit, was really fit for a king's table. Along with the barbecue went rice, red beans, bread, butter, pickles, etc., a plentiful amount of all being on hand. There were anywhere from seventy-five to eighty who enjoyed the hospitality of their genial host. All were happy and the teething of good-will, contentment and kindnesship real, and truly run through the breast of such and every and many expressed themselves as never before having such a wonderful outing—that ending a perfect day. Among those who were prominent and conspicuous with their presence were: (Continued on page 6) Tabytha Anderson Wins $100 Scholarship MME. C. J. WALKER AWARD GIVEN SAN FRANCISCO GIRL Mme. C. J.

Old Folks’ Home Suffers Loss By Fire Our olf Folks’ Home’ at Abila suf- fered a seyere fire on Friday, May 21st. -The Yoot is burned off, the fur- niture is damaged, the painting and tinting are injured; but not any one was hurt. The fire was caught from the wiring-in the roof. We are thank- ful to:say that the loss appears to be covered by insurance. We are "now. appealing to the churches and the public to assist us, for the funds of the home are low at best, and increased. expenses have come upon us as the result of this fire. The inmates are now ‘placed mostly in. private homes, and while the friends who have taken them in are not charging high rates for their care, the Board of Directors is with- out means to provide for this increas- ed expense. It is not a pleasant fact to report, but it is true: ‘There are now due three years of delinquent taxes amounting to about $465. If this amount ean be paid by July Ist, we can secure a large reduction in’ the taxes. There is~no reason why the taxes should ever exceed $25, or $30 per year, if these matters were prop- erly attended to, * wan ay: surance. pigtection, for ils ‘ay. isuranco for’ voy Seay, mete au he wiry situation of being ‘without any nerestaier rt <i County dutherities are advising us that the home should not be rebuilt with two stories; but that all the Tooms shoild be‘on one floor. What shall be lone about this remains to be-seen, : As chetrman of the Board of Di- rectors I am appealing to all. pastors of all denominations, and all churches and friends to assist us at this critic- fal time. The home receives inmates regardless of denominational afilia- tions. T wish to ask that all who will vill pleace assist us by after offer- ings, the coming Lori's Day, or as soon as convenient. The Board will greatly appreciate any ‘contributions or favors. T. L. GRIFFITH, ‘Chm. Board’ of Directors. M. W. IRVIN. REPRESENTATIVE CALIFORNIA SOFT WATER LAUNDRY Mr. M. W.

TO THE PROGRESSIVE MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION We wish to thank you for your prompt payment of claims during my illness which totaled $110,60 for my entire period of disability. This was paid to us so promptly and cheerfully that we cannot find words to express our gratefulness. We sincerely hope that every man, woman and child will take a policy from your noble company that is doing much to establish a true principal among our group. (Ed) Mrs. ANNIE THOMPSON. J. A. THOMPSON. Husband. MR. J. C. JORDAN, SCEY-MGR PROGRESSIVE MUTUAL ISSUES STATEMENT We wish to have it known to the readers of the California Eagle and general public as well that our laboring with the colored people of this great city has not at all been in vain. We feel dignified over our present position after struggling so hard to reach the place where we can now receive such favorable comments, both written and verbal as are now coming into our office. We yet hold a check for $100.00 as an award to anyone proving a just claim that we have failed to pay whether it be for sickness, accidents, or deaths. Mr. Cooper's slogan (our president) is, "I'd rather give you a dollar than defraud you of a dime." Now that "Commencement period" of both high schools and colleges is here, we feel very much grieved after reading letters of applications from young men and women for clerical positions such that they have just completed and ill-support on the part of the race at large makes conditions such that we can employ only a few. My friends, are we yet to sleep in lethargy? Must the few and faithful ones who are laboring so hard to compete with the world from an educational as well as financial standpoint go down in despair for the lack of unity among us as race citizens? The Progressive Mutual could employ 2,000 additional race persons if only one-third of the colored population of California would have petty 25c policies. This could be paid without a single offer of employment that would keep the policies in force. Ours is of value to you more than in the mere "Benefit Way." $1,000,000 monthly is being collected for insurance from the race, while less than $10,000 monthly is paid into companies owned by the race. We must make a mark to which our future generations will aspire, and homes for employment make the best impression. We appeal to you for hearty support in helping us develop this effort. CARD OF THANKS We take this means of expressing our sincere thanks to our many friends for their kindness and the many friends for their kindness and the many, many floral tributes of sympathy and affection shown during our recent bereavement, in the loss of a beloved husband, a devoted father and a loving son-in-law.

WILSHIRE OLYMPIC CLUB NOTES The Olympians wish to congratulate the Nil Niel Bonum Club track team for their victory the other day. Probably it was wondered why Wilshire Olympic didn't compete; well, the one and only reason was that the meet was on Saturday instead of the regular holiday and the boys just had to see the "Man"—that's all! The N. N. B. has a good bunch of good athlete; so have we, but it was that incident that caused the club to withdraw at the last minute. It was indeed a blow to the boys who had trained faithfully for it. The Olympic Club will square herself in the coming football season. The feature dance will be with the Golden Bears on Thanksgiving Day and on New Year's Day; will be the classic of the year—Nil Niil Bonum. Wilshire Olympic Club. This game will undoubtedly attract the largest crowd ever before among our people. Don't forget the big hay ride June 12th that Wilshire is giving.

NIL NIST BONUM NOTES (By Clyde Thompson) Today, the Nil Nisi Bonum Club reigns supreme. Their strong, well balanced team of B. V. D. artists, swept all opposition from its path as the wind blows chaff. It was not a brilliant track team, but one that gathered in the second, third and fourth places. Captain Walter Towns, one of the best timber toppers in the West, was the individual star of the day, winning the high and low hurdles, second in the 50-yard dash, tied for fourth in the broad jump and ended the day by running a fast lap in the relay. Big Bill Cook won the half mile run in fast time. Calvin Edwards won the mile run, unworking a beautiful sprint at the finish to overtake Cook who was leading by 200 yards. Flint ran the best quarter mile of his life, running Johnson off his feet. Hicks ran a good half mile, but not being in condition the best he could do was seconde. Watch this boy hicks, he'll be helping U, S. C. to win the I. C. A. A. in a couple of years. Neal, Collins, Covan, Parker, Dellavale and Carter all did well and deserve a world of cred for it it was as much as the first place winners who brought the bacon home. It was a good track meet in fact, the best ever staged by the Y. M. C. A. and just goes to prove that the Nil Nisi Bonum Club is supreme in all branches of athletics except tennis. The Messrs. Samuel Moore and Eugene Benjamin accompanied by the Misses, Jones Johnson and Alicia Allan morfoed to Lake Elsinore on Decoration Day. The Hudson was superb, the day was perfect. Needless to say they all enjoyed the trip. The members of the Nil Nisi Bonum Club were the ushers at Independent Church of Christ on Boys' Day, Sunday, May 30th. They will all be at the N. N. B. Dance, June 17, 1926, at Majestic Hall, 15th and Maig, Sunnyland will supply the music. it won't be long now, Lawd!

Temple Note: The nurses' class at the white Memorial Hospital has ordered a copy of each of the "Plain Facts" series or "Clean Living", to be read and kept on file by their class. Doctors and nurses in other parts of the city are commenting favorably on this column. We are sincerely thankful that not only are professional people appreciative but that our taymen are intelligent enough to see the crying need for more clean, plain knowledge and less half-hinting about the human mechanism in order to scare our boys and girls and men and women from injury and degrading their bodies. Continue to address all communications to Dr. Ruth Temple, 3556 S. Western Avenue, EMpire 1981; University 1255. MOTHERHOOD Before we take up the Physiology of Reproduction including Conception, Pregnancy, Labor, Location, etc, we will look a while to the preanal needs of the prospective mothre. There is no term more sacred to the human heart than the word "Mother". No hour is too late, no hour too early for her to rise and minister to our wants. No task is too hard, no humiliation too great for her to suffer for her child. A part of all our joys and with us in all our corruptions from the cradle to the grave the unfailing love of our mothers can be counted on. It is these mothers best so much and because they give to give so much that we want to remember them. Then for the sake of unloving mothers we must consider the parentage on both sides. For children are made of only the maternal foal in either the body of mother or father. That which mother or father does not possess the child's body cannot obtain. THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH INVITES YOU TO WORSHIP IN ITS- NEW TEMPLE 11 A. M.—The pastor's subject will be: "A Suffering Church in a Wicked Worki." Solo by Miss Mary Banks. How solemn then the responsibility resting upon young men and young women to keep their bodies clean and make them strong for the sake of the little ones whom God will some day send them. In my work as a doctor of Obstetrics, I deal with two distinct classes of patients. My own private clinic which are usually of the very highest type, the wives and daughters of our doctors, our school teachers, musicians, and business men, and also of our high classed and intelligent laymen. I go from this refine delac to just the opposite extreme of poor whites and foreigners in my city cases and in my dispensary work. And I have anexcellent opportunity for contrasting the mothers whom I attend during confinement and their bodies of this ignorant class with my high classed private cases. And, readers, there is actually no comparison either in the mothers nor in the babies. I have never had but one deformed baby in a private case during my whole eight years of practice, but I have seen scores of deformed cases in city dispensary cases. THE VALUE OF EDUCATION TO THE PROSPECTIVE MOTHER The reason for this difference is simply this: my private case are intelligent enough to appreciate the sensitivity of becoming a mother, they cooperate with me in my efforts to conceive their health and assist them in propagating well, strong offspring. Ignorant woman, think this is foolish and unnecessary. No woman should take upon herself the grave responsibility. SUNDAY, JUNE 6TH It will be: "A Suffering Church in a Bury Banks.

The little new life is a part of her own body, subsisting entirely upon the air she breathes, the water she drinks and the food which she eats. For this reason it is virtually necessary that the mother have a clear understanding of the foods proper for her ingestion in order to make good music, good bone and good blood for the little new being intrusted to her care. Next week we will continue this very important subject. IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION NOTES On last Sunday afternoon, before a very enthusiastic and attentive audience at Wesley Chapel, Dr. Ruth J. Temple, Atty. Hugh E. Mackbeth, Mr. H. W. Markham, and Mr. Geo A. Beavers, expressed each in his own forceful manner, thiebel that real self-denial, honest cooperation and well directed team work, are required, in order for the members of our race to have even a small degree of success in the fight for freedom here in California. The Crestmore and Hooper and Son Cases are upon us, the speakers said, of being a right to determine whether families will be permitted to continue live in homes that they have worked and paid for, this is a fight to determine whether the American Nec grow to occupy the place of a man or a dog in California. Like a slave is he to be told what he may and may not do with his money, after he has earned it, where he may and where he may not spend it? What good is money to a race, deprived of its purchasing power? Federation of Improvement Associations Sends Telegram To Supreme Court Of U. S. And All Leading American Dailies, Protesting Action Of Court In Curtis Segregation Case A daring move on the part of the Progressive Federation of Improvement Associations, was the sending of a telegram of protest for their action in the Curtis Case, t othe U. S. Supreme Court in Washington, D. C. A copy of the telegram was also sent to the "Washington Post", "The New York Times", "The Christian Science Monitor", "The Boston Transcript", "The Kansas City Star", "The Chicago Defender", "The Chicago Examiner. Propaganda Committee Of Federation Calls Fast Day. Families of Crestmore and Hooper & Sons District To Be Remembered In All Churches In City On June 20 Few of the members of our race in this state realize the terrible seriousness of the attent of the white residents of the westmore district to force more than twenty colored families of this district from their homes. For eight months the residents of this tract have fought their very hard battle alone, asking no assistance from the city at large but with this serving of new papers by the whites which show that they have no idea of abandoning their war against the race citizens of the district, our people realize that it is a state fight and every Negro to whom liberty means anything mus tput his shoulder to the wheel.

JUNE 4. 1926 --- RAILROAD CLATTER By Chas. L. Upton Well folks, we got here alright, safe and sound in Philadelphia, and the Shriners are as thick as ideas about a dog's back, if you have not got lez on your hat you cannot cut your horn, since the Shriners have arrived, you would hardly believe that General Butler ever lived here and made I feel miserable for the wets. My! What a difference, I haven't seen Prescott or Ponder since we arrived I guess they must know something. I wore a pair of white channel pants thinking I was going to strut my stuff when I got here but now they took like a pair of mechanic's overalls. They sure do believe in smoke here alright. That trip over the desert was the wetted trip I ever made, itrained all the time. In fact, the Shriners seemed to have control of the clouds, they stole everybody's shoes the second night out and it happened that Ponder had gone to bed on the first watch so they took his also, he has been looking for them ever since and isn't found them yet. Prescott put the distress sign on one of the nobles and the man told him every tub, that he was just about taped out himself: Press isn't been no good since. 12th and Central would look like a thousand dollars to the gang right now but at that I guess we will all eat. Otto Johnson is an old resident of Philly and has been leading us all a dog's life ever since we arrived. Big H. E. Washington is having the time of his life but misses his Paige. Well folks, if I live to get back I will tell you more about it, so far it's some trip. SPECIAL TRAIN FOR REALTORS By the time you are reading this article on Special train of realtors will leave the Santa Fe station for Tulsa. About a hundred big real estate men will be on board.

L A COFFIN BACK Mr. L. A. Coffin, porter instructor of Los Angeles is back to work after a much needed rest from a general breakdown, having spent some time up in Elsinore recuperating he is now in good shape to continue his duties as instructor of this district. The boys are all glad to see him back and well. —00— The new time books are out and in service with a slight change in form reading report instead of leaving and released instead of arrival. —00— SANTA FE RED CAPS GET NEW UNIFORMS The red caps operating at the Santa Fe depot can now be seen proudly strutting in their new togs. Passengers are giving them the second look when they carry their grips with their bright red caps and latest eastern style summer blouses. Maybe the Santa Fe officials were looking forward to their new station when they told the boys to shed their former garb. However, the following red caps are all diked up and ready for whatever kind of a terminal is put up-Union or Santa Fe; E. G. Brooks; A. L. Brookins; B. F. Spivey; Zip the Taylor; L. Wilson; S. Haucks; Alonzo Day; Normand Stewart; Maurice Felix; Normand Jones; Joc Dagart and Dauchy the head red cap. You can do everything with a handling but one. Normand Steward is the only one outcast of the gang, but says he will have his later when times get better; the boys are thinking about taking up a collection for him. ARCADE STATION RED CAPS The Red Caps of the Arcade station are planning a formal dance to be held in the near future. They say it will be red hot; so watch for the date. 00— Former red cap W. C. Washington left for Chicago as a waiter on 2nd 8 last week; he has quit carrying grips and from now on the private car Cypress. 00— Captain us Conway is striving to make the red caps a hundred per cent Bill outfit; once an Elk always an Elk says Gus. Pres. James W. Gray is the proud father of a 10 pound girl, and has passed the cigars to all the red caps at the S. P. Mr. Gray's new born daughter will be the red cap's entry in the baby contest held by the N. A. A. C. P. 00— The red caps were in attendance at a service meeting last week which was presided over by the Supt. and Assistants; all the records were O. K.

If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Ha Los Angeles is one of the few large cities which can boast of having her entire traveling public handled by colored red caps. These men are reliable at all times and have proved their worth and value in the two main depots of the city. Seattle has Japanese; Denver, Kansas City, Union Depot in Chicago and a few other cities have white red caps. The job is worth while taking care of and the red caps of Los Angeles are right on the dot when it comes to that by being punctual, politic, fast and reliable. A nice compliment was paid to Mr. W. B. Coleman and the Pullman Porters in general by a Mrs. Robinson of Chicago while traveling West on the Golden State Limited a frequent trip. She said, of all her frequent trips, this one was made the most pleasant and enjoyable principally through his courtesy and attention. Mr. Coleman resides at 4916 Forestvill Ave., in Chicago and has a record of nearly 21 years of service with Pullman Co. Saturday 55 red caps were in service at the depot, 40 Sunday and normal Monday. One of the boys said there were more red caps on the platform to meet atrain than there were passengers. SOUTHERN PACIFIC Mr. Wm. Wharton, 1554 E. 21st St. Linen man on Diner 10117 was met at Rock Island, HI., with a telegram stating that his wife had been injured in an accident. Arriving in Chicago that morning, Monday, May 24th, he was transferred at once to dinner 10115 leaving that night and harried home to her bedside. It was learned on arrival that she had been injured very severely by being hit by one street car on alighting from another. There is great excitement in the ranks on account of the rapid changes —unexpected doubles and the great crowds traveling both East and West —Diner 10115 was doubled back from Los Angeles on the 28th, then doubled out evening of arrival in Chicago in the 31st. Well, it means long hours but more money for the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harris are contemplating on moving to Chicago in the near future. Mrs. Harris who is a bride of only two months, was formerly a business woman of New York. —00— LEGAL POINTS AND POINTERS Questions Answered By: ATTY. CALVIN W. MURDOCK 1409 Central Avenue Q.

ON TO WASHINGTON ON TO WASHINGTON THE CRITICS' CRITIC A DISPENSATION OF 30 DAYS FOR NEW MEMBERS AND PART PAIDS! ON TO THE NEW RAILROAD LABOR BOARD! Pullman Porters and Brothers, Greetings:— As a result of our sweeping, on-war, conquering march through seven eventful and dramatic months of a supreme struggle to organize the Pullman Porters and Maids for a living wage, better hours and conditions of work, we have built up a mighty and gigantic organization in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, in the face of the greatest opposition ever encountered by Negroes. It is an unmistakable monument of race achievement, a tribute to the intelligence, courage, and loyalty of our members and a definite challenge to the reckless and unreasoning oppression of 12,000 Pullman Porters and Maids in particular and the race in general. We are preparing to be the first to file our case with the new Board. Our chances for success are much brighter and greater. But naturally our success will depend directly upon our strength. With 51 per cent we will get 51 per cent consideration. In order to crown our struggle with victory the Brotherhood expects and hereby calls upon every red-blooded, he-man, race loving, self-respecting, upright-standing, Pullman Porter to join the swelling ranks of the Brotherhood. Thirty Days Dispensation To New Members And Part-Paids! Now, in order to swell the rising tide of our organization, the Brotherhood is inaugurating a dispensation. June 1, 1926, for thirty days for new members and those who have paid a part of their joining fee. During this dispensation Porters and Maids who join and pay $5.00 in full will not be required to pay back dues, but their dues will begin with June. the month they join. All part-naid members who pay up in full during this dispensation will not be required to pay the back dues from last October, but their dues will begin with June. Act today! don't delay! Every man counts. Don't expect your brother to bear your burdens. Don't expect to eat the fruits of the sacrifices and toil of others. Your wives, your children, and your race expect you to do your duty. We cannot fail; we will not fail. Truth, and justice that are mightier than legions of men are on your side. Remember men and women of the Negro race that a WINNER.NEVER OUTS AND A QUITTER NEVER WINS! Forward to victory! The "Trysting Place" will be at Second Baptist Church, June 15th. mission 25c. J. O. BROWN LORENZO BOWDOIN Secretary of Treasury Mr. Eugene Gordon, Negro editorial writer for the Boston Post (whole) in taking upon himself the unavoidable task of criticising, constructively Negro newspaper, is more to be commended than censured. And we write this while ignorant if whether he has ever seen or heard of our humble efforts slightly suspecting he would hold them in good-natured contempt, should he chance upon this publication. Mr. Gordon is not going to have distinguished sailing. The most severe critic of other persons we ever knew so resented criticism of himself that he was angered almost to crying when it did come. Negro newspapers, many of them, are just like that. They were born in comedy and criticism and have trimmed their disheveled hair to that narrow course. Let their disheveled hair has not served to create among them an est view of themselves. They have coasted along, full sure they were without serious fault. Mr. Gordon will discover that whatever his strict notions tell him, these papers think they are pretty darned good. We, however, would not have the Boston writer weaken. Let him lay on—for the good of the service. He has criticised justly their lack of news, poor makeup, shouldy methods and mediocre editorial writers. Next let him take a shot at their lack of co-operation, ethics, independence. Let him reveal them in their "hustling mode," then advise them as to a way out. Does Mr. Gordon know that the Negro press, one of the most blunt Negro agencies, is also one of the least organized?" Does he realize that of all the national organizations, church, professional or business, Negro editors have their tongues in their cheeks every time they write of cooperation, public morality, political incorruptibility, et cetera? Does Mr. Gordon know further that the Negro newspaper field is so lacking in financial attractiveness that trained talent goes to other fields? Did Mr. Gordon ever ask for a salary on a Negro paper? Does he know that the game is so new to most Negroes that its vices are greater influences with them than its virtues? Does he know that their very greenness makes cynics and know-alls of them in the early stages of their work, thus stultifying their growth and rubbing them of fair notions? There are many, many things Mr. Gordon probably does not know. He probably doesn't fully appreciate the problems which harass this ill-prepared fraternity, forcing its members to scheme rather than plan. It has been a tremendous task for them to develop from mere sheets of agitation, political and otherwise, to vendors of news propaganda and real news with editors who are dispassionate and scientific. The old Negro was on their way, a sort of slippery something its way, to transition to the newer and more respectable form, while necessary, has not always guaranteed comaderie between publisher and printer. So, the fellows have had to hustle. We remember the editor of the Nashville Banner, white, complaining because MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. SOPHIA L. SMITH MANAGER 一、1.

Our boys have done a little blackmailing, traded politically and carried balloon circulations. The least of their crimes has been a desire to charge for legitimate news where they found an easy mark. Mr. Gorion could find out about all this if he got over on our side. But whether he needs or wishes to, we assure him that so long as he elects to criticise the critics, he's in for something that would be over. Darton's been—From Hebbie Jebbies.

"The Pacific will be the battle line in the next world conflict", said Dr. Ravold. The Medical society adopted resolutions declaring that that "adequate preparation is the best preventive of war", indorsing military training in schools and colleges and approving the national defense act. Right well should those who believe in the ascendancy of our group along business lines appreciate the service and sinceres hustling ability of Doctor Mahlon C.

We arrived there at 8:25, having covered about 40 miles of mountains; the roads were extraordinarily good and we had no trouble. The festivities in this town had all come off the day before, and nothing remained now but the numberless automobiles which lined the curbs and filled the garages on every street in town; the bay was also crowded with beautiful-looking yachts—all these were mute testimony of the crowds that must have been on hand the day before. After sight-seeing a ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` THE FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH YOUTH AND EVERLASTINGLIFE NOW OPEN FOR ALL Mankind as by instinct, for ages past, has been longing and looking for the fountain of life: such a hope seems reasonable even in the absence of a divine revelation: So much so, that in 1513 Juan Ponce de Leon a Spanish nobleman set sail from Porto Rico on the bosom of the great deep in search for the fountain at whose water he (though an old man of over fifty years) could bathe and return to the days of his youth. He did not find it: but he found the land of Florida, about as near the Garden of Eden as then existed. The Prophet Zechariah had prophesied that, there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness. It is the law of cause and effect, that, when the cause is removed the effect must cease. Over 1900 years ago Christ died for our sins according to the scripture: In his preaching he had said, He that believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. The fact that men have kept right on dying until now, has given rise to all kinds of skepticism and theories, until today many would tell us that there is no death, that death is not death; hence there can be no future life. At the manifestation of our redeemer, the life giver: A narrow way and a straight gate to life was opened; and Jesus said, that, because of its straightness, hardness, few there be that find it: Still fewer walked in that way for it was the way to life through death. The only other way that has been open during the Gospel age is the broad or highway that leadeth to destruction, death; these two ways have stood open all during the gospel age; and those in the narrow way that were faithful unto death are rewarded with a crown of life, immortal life. "After this (this narrow way is closed) I will return (God's favor will return) . . . That the residue (rest) of men might seek after the Lord (life giver). Now opens the Highway called the way of holiness, Isa. 35:8. This way of life will reach back to where the broad way ends in death, and the ransomed of the Lord will return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy . . . and sorrow will flee away. And now those that are still alive, having not gone down into death may cease traveling that old broadway to death, and start up on this new highway to life. The Lord tells us in Job 33:19-25: "He (man is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhoreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, (Dr. James A. Biglow is that messenger and interpreter) to shew unto man his (God's uprightness: Then he (God) is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit (grave): I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's, he shall return to the days of his youth: He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. In faithfulness t oGod and his fellow man, Dr. Biglow has secured a temporary place as headquarters for the dissemination of this truth, at 1335 East 40th Street, Los Angeles, Calif., and on Sunday, June 13th, at 2 o'clock P. M. Dr. Biglow will preach the introductory sermon. All Ministers are especially invited; and you are earnestly requested to be present and enjoy this favor; for I say unto you that many righteous men have desired to see this day and have not been permitted. Following the opening, every evening from 7 to 8 P. M. you will enjoy the privilege of hearing something on this subject. Every afternoon from 2 to 4 except Sunday, those who are sick and desire to be healed, those who are old and desire to return to their youth, and those who are dying, gowing down to the grave and desire to return to life; will be received. "If ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the land.—Isa. 61:1-4. ```markdown ``` Court Solomon's Wonder Band Makes Debut In Spectacular Concert Last Thursday Evening Court Solomon's Wonder Band Makes Debut In Spectacular Concert Last Thursday Evening Under the auspices of Court Solomon, No. 8677, Ancient Order of Forresters at the Second Baptist Church last Thursday evening the people were treated to a real and genuine surprise by hearing one of the very best concerts which has ever been staged in their section.

You do not need any great outlay of funds to start. Arn't you tired of betting on the fickleness of fortune's vagaries in city life? Don't you think it is high time that you turn to something that guarantees stable results and undoubted profits? We are offering fifteen small ranches of 6½ acres each, all fronting on the highway at exceedingly attractive prices, with a very small payment down with the balance in 10 years. Listen, two date trees planted on any one of these ranches, will pay for the ranch in less than 10 years and you can plant 50 trees on one acre. Among the leading products produced are: cotton, alfalfa, corn, grapes, grape fruit, tomatoes, mellons, lettuce, spinach, sweet potatoes, and many other items. These lands produce the finest dates in the world, and the trees here are the most prolific bearers known to man. We will be pleased to furnish you with any detailed statistics or other information you may wish concerning this land. Call or write MR. H. C. FOUSE, and have him explain the possibilities, prices and terms for those small ranches. We are organizing a colony of 15 families to take up this tract of land.

Watch for date. BUSINESS TALKS By: ..DR, ..T, ..L, ..GRIFFITH LET US DIVIDE WITH THE NE GRO BUSINESS MAN I remember some time ago in another city a young man started a drug store. He said to me: If a hundred people will drop into my store each day, and each of them will spend a dime, my business will reach three hundred dollars a month. That was true. There are easily, a hundred of us living near any store conducted by our people. A dime as an average spent by us would only be sixty cents a week. It is strange how those dimes will swell the volume of business our people would be able to do. Near to us are our folks who have grocery stores, cleaning and pressing establishments, drug stores and many others too numerous to mention. I verily believe that all of us are able to give to some of these stores a part of our patronage, if we are not able to give them all. The trouble is we do not see that it is trading which produces wealth. We go out and work a week. We bring home our carmings. If we spend all of that with the white merchants, we are not only making our labor produce wealth for the individual white man, we are producing wealth for white race. **I we are ever to the Negro race out of poverty, it must be done through the channel of business. I am aware of the many handicaps we people think that our people who go into business are unintentionally the enemies of the race. We take to them our patronage, and build them up, and then they ignore us in man yways, and use the little wealth we have produced for them in ways that hinder rather than help the race. But we must bear this. The fact is, if we want employment as clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, or managers, we must get these opportunities through our own people.** I had a letter the other day from an old friend out in Iowa. He said that times are very hard there for the colored people. He said the white people had passed around the world to give the jobs to the white people first; then if there was any work left, give it to the colored people. If there were more colored men employing labor, we certainly have a better opportunity in getting jobs from them. And that is the way. Now if the dimes will count for quite a little, the dollars will count for quite a little more. I would like some kind of movement started that would help our people to see how we can help the race by helping each other in business. Men in the same church and in the same fraternal society can help each other in business. Some time ago I suggested an open house day for all our business men. I still believe it would help but if we do not see fit to try that out, some one else might come forward and suggest something else to help in this phase of our racial struggle.

And while we are all so poor we are powerless as a people, the book of Proveress says: "The rich man's wealth is his strong city". Improvement Ass'n Notes PROGRESSIVE FERERATION PLEDGES SUPPORT TO PROTECT NEGRO IN WEST SIDE Since the Supreme Court decision in the Curtiss case at Washington, a determined effort is being made to banish all people of our race from that district lying west of Western Avenue and north of Jefferson Street, known as the Grestmore and Sons Tracts. About twenty or more of our most respectable families representing the highest standard of American citizenship reside in this district. In appealing to the Blackstone Club for legal assistance a committee from the Federation emphasized the fact that this case affects the entire race. Our rights as citizens are at stake. It affects our economic status. If these people are deprived of the right to occupy their property, it will be only a short while before their neighborhood is affected. Thru this system the supply of property and homes for our people will be materially decreased. The demand is continually increasing so this would automatically boost prices, raise rates as never before, and confine our people to the most undesirable districts of the city. BLACKSTONE CLUB TO TAKE UP. DEFENSE The Blackstone Club, composed of a majority of the leading Race lawyers of the city after a report from the Federation of Improvement Associations on the need of the residents of the Crestmore district promised their aid to Atty Tyler who has ben valiantly holding at bay the lawyers of the enemy alone throughout the entire fight. The generous members of this club promised to render this service practically free of charge making only a nominal charge to cover costs. The action of this organization should be a great encouragement and inspiration to every race loving man and woman in this community and should give to these lawyers our unanimous support.

Wednesday night, June 9th. They give their reasons for favoring Wiggins over Godfrey to "wit": Wiggins is the cleverest big man in the ring today. He should stay away from Godfrey and with his speed punch him full of holes. Godfrey is also out of condition due to his long sojourn on Catalina Island as a member of the cast of "Old Ironsides" a moving picture being made by the Lasky Director, James Cruze. We believe that wise bettors will pay their money on Godfrey. It seems almost impossible that a little man or any lower could give away thirty pounds and beat the "Shadow of Liperville." Wiggins is hard at work training in the "gym" and Godfrey is expected to arrive from Catalina any day to take up his work at the Main Street Athletic Club. NIPPONS NIPPED Watts Monarchs Stop The L.

J., June 2—Harry Wills, challenger for world heavyweight boxing title, and Jeff Clarke, the Fighting Ghost, engaged in a three-round exhibition bout here Monday night as the feature of the Northside Club show. "A record crowd greeted Wills as he entered the ring. His work during the exhibition was fit to look at and it was evidence that Dempsey is sure to duck this man from New Orleans. In the bouts that followed the exhibition, Dudley Bright, of Philadelphia stopped Young Denny Buck, white of Lancaster, Pa., in the first round. Eddie Covington, Philadelphia, flyweight had the better of Joe Colletti, white of Perth Amboy, N. J., in furious eight-round bout. Bobby Wallace, of Philadelphia, lost a close fight to Willy Patterson, white, also of the Quaker City in six sessions. Little Jeff, white, of the Quaker City, halted Kid Jones of the same city in the third round of a six-round bout.

That the fans want base ball is indicated by the support accorded the various teams. Now that each team has had a home team, it is evident that President Bert M. Roody's predications that "the Southern League is going over big" is about to come to pass. The attendance has been good in every city regardless of the showing of home team. This has encouraged the league as well as the team managers.

The first two weeks the Albany Giants had everything their way. Then came the Birmingham Black Barons who routed the Giants in two games and the rain probably saved the Georgia outfit from the third defeat. While all of this was taking place down in the little Georgia City, New Orleans was defeating all comers and the end of the third week found New Orleans the league leaders. By defeating the Atlanta Crackers in three games the Albany team held its own last week, and New Orleans and Birmingham played jam-up base ball, too, and the three cornered race with Memphis threatened at all time continues. Nashville and Chattanooga have strong teams that will make the going rough for all aspirants to the pennant. Both of these Tennessee teams are well fortified with hurlers ad hitters and have given a good account of themselves in every series. With the closing of the colleges, Atlanta, and Montgomery should be greatly strengthened. Dame Rumor has it that Sykes, the hard-hitting Morehouse out-fielder, and Lockhart, Talladega's stellar pitcher and the ace of the Southern Collegiate Conference, will soon don the uniform of Atlanta Black Crackers.

OF BUILDING COMMITTEE OF EUREKA VILLA Page----Eight W. M. SHI CHM. OF BUILDING EUREKA AU Danger of Losing Home Rule By: ANDRAE NORDSKOG Chairman Board of Governors People Telephone Commission A more wide headline last week brought home the fact that the matter of home rule government was rapidly dwindling away. The article accompanying revealed how smoothly the powers were being taken away from the cities and small towns and usurped by the state or national governments. It warned the voters that unless something was done to stem the tide, soon we would have no voice in our government. The foregoing sounds funny, doesn't it, in the glorious days of Democracy? Democracy, did you say? Yes, what was once Democracy. Have you tried to make your voice heard in the telephone rate fight? No? Well, the writer has. He has been to the City Hall so many times that the front steps are showing signs of wear. Yes, friends. I have written letters, I have talked with the Mayor, with Councilmen, with members of the Public Utility Board individually and collectively, in and out of session. But how long did I try to get results? Since March 1st, 1925. I have given them facts that should arouse an Egyptian mummy. The facts that I have presented to them would have sent some countries to war. In fact, many countries have declared war for impositions much less than those we suffer at the hands of the Bell trust. BRING BACK HOME RULE! In 1925 the State Railroad Commission established a new high rate for telephones in Los Angeles. They also ordered the telephone company to install meters on all business telephones. This was at a great expense, without doubt two million dollars. The state had absolutely no authority by virtue of any existing law to assume this authority. This power belongs to the CITY OF LOS ANGELES. This power was not given to the state when the power of rate fixing was voted to deed a DANGEROUS PRECEDENT to let the state grab this authority, especially when there is no law to back it up. It has not been granted by the voters of this city or of the state either. The city of Los Angeles has the complete and unrestrained right to govern the operation of all of its public utilities. The Constitution now even prevents the legislature from passing any law that will rob the city of its right to govern its utilities. WE DEMAND THAT UTILITY BOARD ACT Last week I demanded for the second time in six months that the city of Los Angeles Public Utility Board take action to protect its citizens and order the telephone meters removed that had been unlawfully installed. The City Attorney has failed to give the Board a legal opinion as to its rights although twice requested in the past six months to do so. The Board granted me a hearing on the matter and set Thursday, June 3rd at 10 A. M. as the time. It is to be held in room 512 International Building, the Temple and Spring Sq. By deriding the removal of the meters they will do the biggest thing they have ever done by showing the wilde politicians that they cannot rob Los Angeles of its power to run its own acaits. WE NEED HELP RIGHT NOW! This is a fight of the PEOPLE vs the BEIL, telephone octopus. It is your fight. Do not go to sleep now. This one act of getting the local Board to remove the meters is worth all of the effort we have put forth. The People-Telephone Commission was organized of, for and by the people. You must telephone York 2833 and offer to help win this fight. Do it now. VISITOR EXPLORES SUBMARINE In company with Wm. McLamore guided by Mr. J.

They were backed in their stand by more than 2,000 delegates who attended the conference as the representatives of a church constituency of 400,000. Bishop R. S. Williams, the senior Episcopal official, presided. The attack on the lynching evil was wide in the scope of its criticism, including all forms of barbarity now practiced in the South. Into their denunciation the bishops brought the word of southern leaders, white and colored, and of groups, who have felt compelled during the last few years to rise up against the great evil. White Christianity was called upon to back up with every power available the fight for justice to the Negro as a Christian duty. It was reminded that it should support the Dyer-Antilynching bill because of the moral issue involved. Outstanding among other recommendations, considered by the conference were: equal suffrage for women in the general conference; the extension of appeal; the combination of the executive work of the Sunday School and Epworth League; an Endowment fund for superanuated preachers, widows, and orphans; revisions of the missionary constitution; the sufficiency of the present number of ten bishops; --- Los Angeles, Cal. 759-85 Central Ave. TO SALES CO.

J., May 26.—Riverton's "Peeping Tom," who has kept the women of this town in terror for many weeks, is in the jail house now. He is a white man, and not the muiat-to man as was first suspected. Almost every night for the past two weeks, Riverton police have received one or more complaints-of the "Peeping Tom's" activities. Several petty robberies have been laid to this mysterious figure who rapidly became almost a fearsome tradition to the people of the suburb, so that many women have been afraid to go on the streets alone after dark. Miss Francis Ruppert, white, was on her way home alone. The man followed her. She walked faster. The man broke into a run. She fired. The man pursued, but he was far from her after a few minutes' run. He then gave up the chase. Arriving at police headquarters, the woman told her story and then helped warn residents of that section of Riverton that the "peeper" was again abroad. A pose of nearly two hundred people had gathered and went in pursuit of the "mulatto" man. A few minutes later he was seen peeping in the home of J. Lewis Jackson, white, and the posse gave chase. He was captured. But they w eursurprised to learn that he was a white man. The man, Jack Spickler, is married and a member of a respected white Riverton family. The posse quickly dispersed when they discovered that the peeper was a white man, whom many of them knew. The affair did not require the assistance of the state troopers or the National Guard. "A jail term would be the best thing for him." Spickler's wife said, when she was informed that he was the "peeping Tom." She also refused to go to his aid. He was held without bail.
