Colored Family Must Vacate, Says The K. K. Klan First Monster Benefit-BATHERS REVUE AND DANCE-For the Building Fund of St. Philips Church, to be given by a committee of ladies-WEDNESDAY EVE., JUNE 30, 1926, MUSIC ART AUD.-233 S. Broadway; SUNNYLAND JAZZ; Chmt., Nellie V. Conner; Secy., Mrs. Tymony; Treas., Mrs. Laura Porter TELEPHONE: VAndike 9244 Phone: VANDIKE 9244 VOLUME 40 COMMENTS By: W. J. WHEATON The past week in Chicago witnessed one of the most spectacular exhibitions of the Christian Religion ever enacted on earth. At no period of the medieval age has such an aggregation of the "followers of the cross" met. The Crusaders paled into insignificance beside the pump and panoply which attended the Eucharistic conference of the Roman Catholic Church. Church dignitaries from the ends of the world from the personal representative of the Pope to shaven and tonsured Monk, all bent on the one mission: the world observance of the Lord's Last Supper. —00— Hundred of thousands who acknowledge the spiritual supremacy of the Holy See knelt in reverence as the Cardinals, Princes of the Church, Bishops and lesser dignitaries walked slowly through the streets in solemn procession. It was a colorful pageant but, through it all there breathed a spirit of Christian spirituality which bode good for mankind. It was a magnificent showing for constituted authority, and the respect in which it is held by adherents of the Roman Catholic Church. But, after all, is there any one thing more intolerant than religion under the guise of CREED? It takes a broad view to consolidate all beliefs and bring them to a common end. A prominent member of a well-known faith was commenting to this writer on the "vain gloriousness of the pomp and splendor which attended the Roman Catholic service of the Eucharist. He deplored the fact so much that he was constrained to exclaim that "God looked with disfavor on such pomp." Then we wondered: Did God look with favor when He was worshipped to the accompaniment of "Jazz" tunes and the clapping of hands? Is there such a wide gulf between solemn pomp and vigorous exhibition? —00— The Camel, Elephant and Donkey—symbols of partizan politics—seem due for a mix in "28". Senator William Edgar Borah, Idaho, has announced himself as champion of the Volstead act and rumor has it that he is grooming himself for a seat on the hump of the "Ship of the Desert." Mr. Borah says that the Volstead amendment to the Constitution must either be "repealed or nullified." No constitutional amendment has ever been repealed. Why? To repeal an amendment it would be necessary to pass a resolution by a two-thirds vote of both houses. 33 Senators out of 531 in both houses could block a repeal. If it should carry in Congress it would have to be ratified in both Houses of the Legislature in thirty-six States. Nullification is easier. Obsolete amendments have either been amended by judicial construction or nullified. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, in their relationship to rights of the Negro as a citizen in the South, have been nullified. This nullification has been brought about through the tacit agreement of the politicians, North and South, Democrat and Republican. Whenever it has been deemed expedient to exploit the Negro, his Constitutional rights have been danied before his eyes. The Dyer Anti-Lynching measure is a fair example. As Peter Dunne has Mr. Dooly say, "Don't ask for rights. Take them. And don't let any one give them to ye, a right that is handled to you for nothing has something the matter with it." 00— The politicians have been promising the Negro voter "Somethin' for nawthin'" these many years. If you will look at the promises and then deduct the failures to keep them there will be a big debit. Measures and men should be the slogan and should the man fail to measure, keep him mind. Often there is success in failure. How many Negro politicians do you find who can give no concrete or tangible reason for their support of any particular candidate. They cannot tell you what he represents; what may be his attitude toward the abolishment of intolerance and its satellite, racial prejudice, as well as the measures which benefit, at large, the community, commonwealth or nation. Vigilance, Eternal Vigilance! That should be the watchword of the Neo-groer voter. No man's word should be taken absolutely, unless, that man, has Special Deputy Sheriff Organizing White Mob To Attack Black Citizens F. C. FINKLE USES PUBLIC SCHOOL—PEOPLE'S PROP- ERTY—TO CREATE BLOODSHED June 22, 1926. DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to an attack upon my life and upon the lives of my wife and three children, which is fomenting and which is being stirred and fanned by certain persons in my neighborhood, a few of whom I shall mention in this letter and which has now reached the point that I am compelled to call the same to your attention. I own the property at 721 West 85th street, Los Angeles, California, and have lived there for nearly two months. I have lived in that neighborhood for about four years. The property was sold to me free of any and all restrictions against my occupying or owning the same because I am and my family are o the Negro race. The attack which is now being fomented against us has expressed itself in the following manner: 1. There was published in a weekly paper called the Southwest Topics, a notice to the effect that a committee of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, consisting of F. C. FINKL, S. Z. FITZGERALD and JERRY KERN, "will endeavor to solve the problem of getting the family out the community." 2. Next, the so-called committee consisting of the said Finkle, Fitzgerald and Kern came, in an abrupt and insulting manner, to my house on or about the 3rd day of June, 1926, at the hour of 7:30 P. M. Let me add, by the way, that Mr. F. C. Finkle is a Deputy Sheriff of Los Angeles County, whether active or special, I do not know, but he flashed a badge in my face upon coming in. This committee said in effect to me, the said Kinkle doing most of the talking, that I was not wanted in the neighborhood because he was one of it, and that he did not intend that Negroes live in it, and that I was responsible for the K. K. K. in the neighborhood. 3. This Mr. Finkle, led by the committee and others, proceeded to make a canvass of the neighborhood, stirring up sentiment against me and my family and urging the neighborhood to join him in a determined effort to force us to move even if DESTRUCTIVE MEANS WERE NECESSARY. 4. At the time the said Finkle visited my house on June 8rd, 1926, I said to him, "the law will protect me," to which he replied, "the public sentiment of this neighborhood, of which I am a part, is bigger than the law, although the law will protect you in the day time, who do you think will protect you in the night, when the sun is not shining?" 5. The said F. C. Finkle and others called a meeting at the Manchester School auditorium, which is situated at Manchester avenue and Hoover street, on the evening of Tuesday, the 15th of June, 1926. The school property, belonging to the public was used for a meeting, the plain purpose of which was to frame a mob spirit of vengeance against me and my family for occupying property which we lawfully own and without any limitation against our occupancy. At this meeting held on the property owned by the Los Angeles School District, it was said among other things: (a) By S. Z. FITZGERALD: "I had the opportunity and pleasure of visiting that dark complexion family. If this gentleman had done a thing of that kind in Oklahoma or Texas, he would not have lived long." He said, after telling that he had gone to various neighbors to arouse them in connection with the matter "this man" (meaning me), "said he would not move. That he bought that place. That he was going to stay A PAPER WITH A HEART AND SOUL LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1926 Alpha Sorority to Present Farce at Gamut Club The Alpha Kappa Sorority of the University of Southern California will present "A Full House" at Gamut Club on July 9, 1926.

Aviator Sheffield Makes Flight to Elsinore; Makes Forced Landing Near Coleman's Hotel De Luxe (By the Associated Negro Press) Clarksville, Tenn., June 23—S. P. Slaughter, county judge at Elkton Ky., has solemnly promised that the grand jury which convenes the second Monday in July will thoroughly, probe the recent lynching of Primus Kirby, 26, at Guthrie, Ky., last Tuesday morning. Kirby was taken from Chief of Police Mims by a mob and hanged in broad, open daylight. He had shot Edward Bringhurst, a white telephone employee, who had been deputized to assist in effecting his capture, after reports had been given police that Kirby, just released from a year's sentence in the penitentiary, had shot his wife, and crushed her aunt's head with an axe. Bringhurst was shot, though not fatally, when he cornered Kirby in the yard of his wife's aunt's house. The mob appeared when officers who had arrested Kirby were taking him to jail. There was no disorder. The prisoner was promptly given up and the spectacle of the hanging proceeded in systematic fashion. Kirby was shown as a "bad man." "BLACK JEW" SUED AS FAKE By the Associated Negro Press New York, June 23. In an attempt to recover $5,652 paid to Ernest Grossman, an alleged "black Jew," who promised to cure her son, a deaf mute, Mrs. Jesse Armstrong has brought suit in the Supreme Court. Grossman is said to have belonged to a cult and to have promised Mrs. Armstrong that he would cause her son to talk and to hear. The money was paid in fees to him and his associates. Aviator Sheffield Make Makes Forced Land Hotel D M. B. Sheffield is well known in this community as a terror to evil doers and has achieved fame preeminent as a police officer. However, when you read this if you ever had a lingering doubt as to the courage and fearlessness of this officer, that doubt will disappear like the "baseless fabric of a vision." For be it known that officer Sheffield has qualified as a real aviator, has a machine of his own and is a flyer who flies. VISITS COLEMAN'S HOTEL 'DE LUXE On last Saturday this intrepid flyer, along with his mechanic, decided they would fly to Coleman's De Luxe Hotel at Elsinore. Suiting action to the thought, they were off from 155th St. and in a little better time than one hour, they were circling over Daddy Coleman's famous hostelry in the environs of Elsinore. Seeking a place to land, he got down just a little too low where the air was tight and as soon as he got down, and in doing so, suffered minor breakage to the machine; himself and mechanic escaped without injury. On coming down it seemed in an incredible short period of time all Elsinore was on the scene; the sight of officer Sheffield and his skilled maneuvering of the giant plane truly opened the eyes of the natives. The liveliest, apiciest comedy of the year will be at Gamut Club on July 9th. If you miss "A Full House," you'll miss the best entertainment of the year! Philips Church, to be given Nellie V. Conner; Secy., On last Saturday evening about 7:30 P. M., Mrs. Willmina Caulberry, well-known and highly respected business woman of this city, while crossing the street in front of her place of business was struck down and received a fractured skull, from which injury she died at the General Hospital on last Tuesday morning. The inquest on Wednesday revealed the fact that A. M. Johnson was the driver of the car. He stated that he was going North on Central at a speed of between 5 and 10 miles per hour. That as a car to his left passed going in the opposite direction Mrs. Caulberry ran right in front of the machine and fell; he applied the brakes, stopping with bumper right over her body. He then picked her up and laid her on the sidewalk and rendered every assistance possible. Mrs. C. D. Hollingsworth who was a passenger with Mr. Johnson testified likewise. The concensus of opinion was that the accident was unavoidable and the coroners jury rendered its verdict accordingly. Mrs. Caulberry was a pioneer business woman having been engaged with her son, John, in the electrical appliance business for the past thirteen years. The first known as the 19th Electric Supply Co. A sad and pitiful angle 6 to this tragedy was that when Mrs. Caulberry was taken to the hospital her son was also in the same building, a patient. He was the victim of a gas explosion some months ago from which he has not recovered. The sympathy of all who know them goes out to the son and daughter-in-law in this their sad hour of bereavement. At this writing funeral arrangements have not been made. The Smith & Williams Undertaking Company have charge of the body. es Flight to Elsinore; ing Near Coleman's e Luxe Stabs Woman As He Kisses Her (By the Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., June 21.—Edna Veal is dead from the effects of knife wounds made by Bryant Clark who is being sought by the police.

PASTOR REFUSES TO LEAVE CHURCH New Orleans, La., June 23.—On April 6th of the present year the congregation of the Rising Sun Baptist Church requested the resignation of their pastor, the Rev. Joseph Gedridge.

Judge Skinner issued the writ asked for, and the case will be heard in the near future.

His remains were lost to rest at the Evergreen Cemetery, Thursday, June 2nd. We take this means to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the many friends and loved ones who were so kind and faithful to us during the illness and sad hour of death, of our beloved husband and brother-in-law. We also extend our highest appreciation for the many beautiful floral pieces. About twenty years ago he accepted Christ, was baptized by Rev. J. D. Gordon, pastor, and became a member of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. Four years a loyal member and chairman of the Trustee Board on which he worked untimely until his death. He was not a member of any Insurance Company nor belonged to any Fraternal Organization, other than the Tabernacle Baptist Church and its Christian Aid Society. We wish to thank the members of the Christian Aid Society and Trustee Board of the Church who showed their most tender and sincere sympathy. We extend many thanks to our Pastor for such a beautiful sermon, which was not only helpful to the beheaved family, but to all who might have heard it. We also thank Rev. L. B. Brown, Rev. Rozier and Rev. Shaw for their timely remarks. Doctor Diggs being the "family physician and once a member of the Tabernacle Baptist Church and its Trustee Board did all that was in his power to bring Brother Kenney back to his health. He was sent to the Dunbar Hospital where he was so carefully and tenderly cared for until the end came. "We thank Brother A. J. Roberts & Sons establishment for their heartfelt sympathy and funeral arrangements so beautifully and tenderly carried out. "And the God of Heaven bless you and crown you all with His tender mercies." MRS. ELLA KENNEY, Wife MRS. MAGGIE THOMAS, Sister-in-law MR. P. D. THOMAS, Sister-in-law MR. J. T. BUMBRAY, Brother-in-law Season's Prettiest Affair One of the most unique affairs of the season was given Wednesday Evening, June 16th, 1926, when the Royal Dozen Club girls gave their first public affair in the form of a Whist Tournament at the residence of Mrs. Lela Erskins, 622 E. 36th St. More than one hundred guests attended and to the regret of the girls there was not available space to accommodate all who came to the door.

GIRL TRIED TO PASS $26 BILL (By the Associated Negro Press) Lafayette, La., June 23.—Charged with attempting to pass a twenty-six dollar bill, Adalise Rossier, sixteen, was detained by the federal authorities, and released on a five-hundred dollar bond. The bill, which was originally of a ten dollar denomination, was raised by pasting numerals clipped from printed advertisements in a newspaper on the four corners. In explanation, Adalise said, "I got it from a boy friend who gave it to me for a pig." Federal agents are now looking for the "boy friend." APPOINTED PIANIST FOR GYMNASIUM At a meeting of the Alhambra Board of Education last week, Miss Myra Hellen, warming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George, Island of Pascadero, was appointed to the position of pianist for the girls' gymnastics. For the past few months Miss Holland has given her service free, but she did it as willingly and so well that she won for herself many friends in the school, among them being Miss Brunson who recognized Miss Holland's worth to the extent that she remembered a full dance class and FLORIDA WILL TRY LYNCHERS (By the Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fl., June 23—The trial of a lynching case which has been on the docket of the criminal court here for more than three years will soon take place. The case was delayed by the escape of one of the suspects, who were alleged to have taken Gene Burnham out on a lonely road at noon Sunday, December 31, 1923, and lynched him because they thought he had stolen some "shine" from them. After, the affair occurred, one of the number, Fleming Pickett, confessed to the crime and implicated three others: Jake Willis, Goodwin Roberts, and Clarence Cross. Pickett and Roberts were immediately arrested; Willis escaped to New Mexico where he was later captured and brought back. Clarence Cross escaped and was not heard from until Monday when a wire was received from San Francisco, California, stating that he was under arrest there after attempting suicide. Immediate steps have been taken to return him to this state and to go ahead with the therial. The three men who were under arrest were released on $10,000 bail when they demanded trial and the state was not ready because of the absence of Cross. Rosenwald Offers $25,000 For Florida "Y" (By the Associated Negro Press) Jacksonville, Fla., June 23.—An offer of $25,000 for a Negro Y. M. C. A. for this city by Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, has been made by C. J. Jackson, executive secretary of the local white Y. M. C. A. The offer is made that the citizens of Jacksonville, both white and colored, must raise $125,000 and start the building, then after sixty days or when Mr. Rosenwald is assured that the project will go through, he will give his $25,000 with gift, not willing to undertake the raising of this sum unless they are assured that the white citizens of Jacksonville will contribute as well as the colored. Jacksonville was selected because it is a clearing house for Negroes who must pass through here to reach other parts of the state, and has a Negro population of almost 50,000. Albert Lee Stephens for the Superior Court Desiring to re-elect Albert Lee Stephens, Presiding Judge, to the Superior Court bench of Los Angeles County, a group of prominent attorneys met in Los Angeles this week to form a campaign committee. The first objective of this group, it is declared, is to persuade Judge Stephens to formally announce his candidacy for re-election. Following this, the committee will concentrate its effort on securing this re-election at the August primaries. Members of the committee believe that Presiding Judge Stephens should not be bothered with campaigning details while he is engaged in the innumerable duties of Presiding Judge, and they have, therefore, asked permission of Judge Stephens to conduct his campaign for him. William T. Craig, widely known attorney, was chosen chairman of this committee and Mr. Craig has sent the following letter to Judge Stephens: "I, have the honor to inform you that a group of attorneys gathered at the City Club recently to form themselves into a committee for the purpose of urging you to formally announce your candidacy for re-election as a Judge of the Superior Court of this County and to offer their support to you in the coming campaign. "The meeting was called as I have outlined, for the above purposes and for the further purpose of exerting all energy to the end that you would be re-elected at the primaries on August 31, 1926. "I know that as Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of this County you are busily occupied in the work of the court and have no time to devote to a political campaign and it was the consensus of opinion of this meeting that you permit the group of men together with others, to conduct the campaign for you so that you might be thus relieved and able to devote your energies and abilities to the all important office that you now hold." The committee membership is open to all friends and supporters of Judge Stephens throughout the County. Mr. Craig said. LONE WOLE CLUB The Wolves-held their social meeting down South in the big city of Watts last Wednesday night. All the Wolves turned out with their lady friends and of course they had one booming time. Some of the Wolves said that they wished every meeting was social night. urged Miss Holland to apply for the position of pianist, which she did and be accepted by the Board of Education and within a few days the secretary of the Board notified Miss Holland of the acceptance. This is not only a recognition of Miss Holland's worth, but it is an honor for the race as Miss Holland is the only race girl in Alhambra High School among seventeen hundred white students. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1926 CAN DO WITH HIS BALLOT (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago; June 28.—The power of the ballot cannot be over-estimated and the importance of suffrage makes the right to vote a sacred duty, was the opinion expressed by William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People in his address at the Bethesda Baptist Church, Wednesday evening. Mr. Pickens' address was one of the high lights of the opening day' sessions of the Seventeenth Annual Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is in session here in Chicago. The speaker traced the historical development and natural evolution of the suffrage showing that "race is the most unreasonable basis for citizenship," and demonstrating that all who work nav taxes and as taxavers are entitled to the fran- In discussing the immediate enfranchisement of the Negro following his emancipation. Mr. Pickens, better known perhaps as Dean Pickens, and who is contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, disagreed with Senator Borah, who pointed that the Negro was enfranchised too early. The Dean justified Summer, Chase and Fredrick Douglas for insisting upon the immediate enfranchisement of the ex-slaves and declared that "if the Negro had not been enfranchised immediately and before the exslave holders regained complete power, he might have remained un enfranchised for centuries." The Dean, speaking in teristic, forceful manner, described the "Grandfather Clause" and other means of legally robbing the Negro of his franchise in the South and analyzed the suffrage schemes of several distranchising constitutions, causing much merriment over the publicity and ambiguities of their phaseology at the same time characterizing the "white primary" as the worst frack next to the "Grandfather Clause". Pouting out the power of the ballot, the Dean declared: "The whole people have a political and moral, even a physical, relation to the status and rights of the smallest minority or the humblest citizen. The right of suffrage among a free citizenship is the one fundamental right which should not be abandoned to prejudice and control. The solution of the suffrage problem involves the permanent solution of other problems. In every 100 person in Georgia there are 54 whites and 46 blacks. If the Negro there would vote his 46 per cent, he would get better schools by electing some of the school administrators; he would get more justice by defeating the unjust judges; he would have less oppressors; and he would have many of the legislators; and he would be seldom or launched and burned, for in the succeeding election he would defeat the unfaithful and cowardly sheriff. "But," continued the speaker, "against the fundamental wrong of racial disfranchisement, philanthropists and humanitarians might spend their money to the end of time, trying to help the Negro to these desired ends. The most economical help is to help one into a position of self-help. Immartial suffrage legislation and administration may not bring the millenium much nearer to the nation as a whole, but it would bring the Negro minority much nearer to the millenium." In the failure of the Supreme Court to give relief from land segregation, Dean Pickens sees an increased importance of local politics and of incorruptible Negro politicians to colored Americans. "The Supreme Court's extremity is the local Negro politician's opportunity." declared the orator. "If the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People can have the co-operation of the Negro leaders, who prefer the interests of their race, and can secure the assistance of the liberal whites of each state, most of the states o f the union can yet be saved from the mediayal barbarian of race segregation on land." Dies With Boast on Lips WOMEN MURDER MAN (By the Associated Negro Press) Raleigh, N. C., June 21.—Boasting that he was not afraid to die, Fred Jones, twice convicted by a jury of first degree murder for the killing of J. W. King, white, was electrocuted here Saturday morning. When placed in the chatr, the condemned man requested permission to make a last statement, and told the spectators that he held no ill-will for any man, and was not afraid to die. After the straps were adjusted on him, he began again to repeat the words, "I'm not afraid to die." He was cut off in the middle of a phrase by the application of the current. Two volts, one lasting 71 seconds, and other 47, were required to kill him. WHAT THE NEGRO (By the Associated Negro Press) Starksville, Miss., June 21—While one woman held Clarence Nelson, one woman held Laura Carter plunged a knife into him severing an artery in his arm from the effects of which death ensued. Jealousy is given as the cause for the act. The Carter woman is in jail charged with murder. Mrs. Bethea Turner entertained in her beautiful home in Pasadena, Saturday, with a luncheon 500 honoring Mrs. H. Peyton Johnson of Detroit.

JONES VISIONS OF GLORY "And the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and soheld the glory of the Lord filled the house. Ez. 43:5. Have you ever hungered to know God, the living God? Do you know Him, and have you hungered to know Him better than you do? Have you ever it's your soul's desire expressed by the hymn: "O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road, That leads me to the Lamb." Remember that it is they who hunger and thirst after righteousness who shall be filled. Matt. 52:6. Remember that it is he that is athirst who is invited to take the water of life freely. It is they who seek God who find Him. Jer. 20:12-14. EZEKIEL'S THIRST How Ezekiel must have thirsted for God! Carried away among the first captives carried to Babylon in 598 B.C. He prophesied by the rivers of Babylon, "twenty-two years." Ps. 137. He was born and brought up to priest, but more, he longed after God, the God of Israel, Jebovah, the living God, the "God of his life." His soul had in it a desire for holy things that took no satisfaction in the manners of his times. He was not satisfied to be up-to-date. He was like Paul, a scholar, one of the best of his day, but it did not satisfy him just to have the knowledge of books. His soul was thirsty. He wanted to know God. What did he care if they called him goody good, or said he was too good for this world, or that he was going crazy about religion? People say you are crazy about anything you want badly. That's one way they have of stoning you. And people are great stoners. Know that, don't you? Anybody who forges ahead got stoned. WHAT HE WANTED Well, Ezckiel didn't care for all this. He wanted God. He wanted to see his people blessed again from heaven. He wanted again to see his people enjoy worth while religion and prosper under the blessing of the true God. He was a student of the promises made to Israel. He hoped in God for the future of his race and for his own future. HOW THE VISIONS COME Such a one gets visions from God. He knocks at the doors of the eternal and they open to him and he sees God that they see he sees. He seeks God that he finds him. He hungers and thirsts after righteousness and he is filled. He asks of God the better things of the soul and of the spirit, and he gets them. And "where there is no vision the people perish." YOU TOO Ah you say, that was Ezekiel. He was a prophet. He got visions and blessings. He lived in the days of old. What is all that to me, living in these modern times, these times of increased knowledge, of scientific research and triumph, of hard-boiled fact and fantastic fancy, of fun and folly, of speed mania and artificial wealth and consuming ambition—what is all to me? What is all to you? Well, you have a soul. Do you never perceive it? Do you never yearn after something the world does not give? Then God is no respecter of persons, but all, in all nations, that fear Him and work righteousness are accepted of Him. See Act 10. His call is to all, "Ho, everyone that thirstish, come ye to the waters," lea. 55:1, that includes you and me. I know whereof I speak, for by His exceeding grace, I have seen the vision. And if He has been so good to me, who am more truly than Paul, "less than the least," what will He do for you? No telling. He will bless you. "His truth endureth to all generations," Ps. 90, and that includes you and me. So count yourself in. HEIRS OF THE SPIRIT Now the Spirit got hold of Ezekiel. The Holy Ghost "was not yet given." John 7:37-39, yet Ezekiel's year after God made the spirit "take him up." But you and I are hears to the promises. "The promise is to you and to your children." Acts 2:38-40. "Your sons and your daughters shall prophey," said Joel, "and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams." Let the Spirit take you up. He will show you something. You shall "see the glory of the Lord." Isa. 35. Sure! God wants you to see it. What it's for? That's what you are for. Do not die before you see God blessing in the Amen. Get your visition. The heavens have been opened for you.

Just keep on looking day by day; What you desire, you'll surely get. Your heart's prayer will be answered yet. Nor will the answer long delay; Pray with the whole heart when you pray. For if the heart divided be, God cannot answer happily. But pray on till the heart is won, Pray on till what you ask is done, If prayer be weak and cold today, Arise tomorrow and still pray.

Upton BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTING My dear Brother Grant: Just a word of remembrance and to say that I have just received a wire from Mr. Frank P. Walsh saying that he has been successful in getting Mr. Donald Richberg to associate with him in our cause. This is a very significant stroke, inasmuch as Mr. Richberg is the man who wrote the Watson-Parker bill under which the Railway Labr Aet will be set up. He knows more about it than any other man in America, so that when he appears before the Board, represeting us, we cannot go wrong. This is good news to spread among the men. As soon as the President appoints the Board, we will file our case. Keep up the good work, for victory is sure to come. Sincerely and fraternally yours, A. PHILLIP RANDOLPH, General Organizer. CORRECT FALSE REPORTS OF SAN FRANCISCO MAID The writer wishes to correct an error in an article written in the Railroad Clatter, issue of May 21st, pertaining to a transaction between Maid M. Blanchard of S. F. and Maid N. Anderson of N. O., in which was stated that Maid M. Blanchard demanded the sum of fifty dollars from Maid N. Anderson to exchange runs with her in order that she might attend the funeral of her Mother in Oakland, Calif. This statement after further investigation the writer finds is somewhat in error to the true facts and regrets very much the fact that the wrong impression was published in this column, which has always stood and spoken for the welfare and uplift of the Railroad men and women, Greater Co-operation between the Pullman Co. and its employees, and closer relationship and harmony between porters and maids. Maid N. Anderson voluntarily gave Maid M. Blanchard fifty dollars of her own free will and accord, for the inconvenience she would naturally have to suffer by the change, it being necessary for her to remain in N. O, until the return of Maid Anderson; the fifty dollars being tendered to assist Maid M. Blanchard in purchasing the necessary needs of a lengthy and unexpected stay in N. O. NEVER RECALL IT AGAIN Many good women have been ruined And many good men too; By some knocker starting a rumor And not a word of it true So when you hear some one knocking A woman's or a man's good name You can bet it's a lie, so forget it And never recall it again. 00— FINEST TRAIN ON WHEELS Last week one of the finest equipped trains that has ever passed thru this part of the country stopped over here for a few hours. It was a Raymond Whittcomb De Lux special, touring the country, consisting of the very latest in Pullman cars—Radio, dance hall and many other innovations. The entire crew was composed of New York and Chicago porters, with the exception of the Maid, Tenie Upton of Los Angeles. The train will stop at San Francisco, Yellow Stone Park, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Montreal and many other points of interest, terminating in Chicago on the 26th of June. Those who were fortunate enough to obtain a glimpse of it proclaimed it the finest train on wheels. A special train of tourist cars passed through Salt Lake City en route to Yellow Stone Park. The entire train was occupied by employees who will perform the necessary duties attached to getting the Park in readiness for the opening. 00- The Rotarians meet in Denver, and many specials are headed that way. Ruth Roland, famous movie star was seen on one of them which stopped at Salt Lake en route. 00- NOTICE Pullman Porters, and Real Race Men!! Attention!! Meeting at "Y" 9th and Hemlock, Friday, June 25th, 8 P.M. Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Mrs. J. E. Rector, 4210 Hoope; Avenue, departed Thursday over the Southern Pacific for Houston, Taylor Fort Worth and Kansas City. She will visit relatives and friends for several weeks. A If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened MRS. VIVIAN L. WEBSTER ENTERS SERVICE Mrs. Vivian L. Webster, daughter of Porter J. E. Jackson line, 367 miles to Los Angeles, has been employed as Maid by the Northern Pacific Co., at Paul Minn. She made a special trip to Seattle, May 19th and brought a special party to Chicago, dead-heading from Chicago to St. Paul with the car in charge on the famous North Coast Limited. Mr. Jackson is well known in church circles here as a singer of great ability and the different church always avail themselves of his services whenever he is in this city on Sundays. All of the porters who went to Philly with the Shriner have returned home and been accounted for with the exception of J. Ponder, who just had to make a trip to Georgia. We warned him but he would go. Georgia is J. L. Hills' former home and the boys are beginning to fear foul play—Hill is not in the undertaking business for his health. Poor Ponder, he was a good scout. They tell me that the ratskiller closed up after Otto Johnson left Philly. —00— Rone Tindall has gone back to his first love—The Rat. —00— H. B. Wilson is now singing The Rat Blues. —00— T. D. Yancey made a trip to Chicago recently and while there he stopped at the Brookmont Hotel. Some class to that boy! —00— H. E. Washington has returned from the Shrimers special and is now back on his run after visiting many Eastern Cities—Boston, Atlantic City, etc. 00 J. Carter is back from the Shriner's Special and is running on the Lark! J. W. Stumps has left these parts for a trip to Chicago to see the sights. —00— Even the Lark becomes dull sometimes. —00— N. Johnson has purchased a new Cleveland Sedan to enjoy the pleasures of California. —00— H. B. Wilson and several other Los Angeles Potters were guests at a fishing party given by the writer last week. —00— R. Bradford has returned back to the San Diego run in the place made vacant by Murdock. —00— Did you know that the famous toil-articles Llewlyn's Non-Greasy Pomade De Luxe, and Brilliantine are manufactured by a Los Angeles Porter named D. Llewlyn. They say his snow white cleansing cream won't behave—trify it girls, it's great. R. Hicks has returned home after an extended visit south with his mother. As a Safety precaution it would be a good idea for many of us first class porters to familiarize ourselves with the fire extinguishers, some day you will have to use them, so prepare now and you will be taking a vital part in the Safety Drive. —00— ITS NONE OF OUR BUIZ-NESS—BUT: We would like to know what H. W. Weeks was saying to the man in the Ford in front of the Bronx Hotel last Saturday A. M.—and What Johnny Moore peeped into the drug store at midnight Friday for—and What is V. Tate doing stopping at the Bronx?—and Why does G. W. Henderson park his car so long on Griffith Ave?—and Why is Ollison so anxious to go to Oakland?—Yes, we would like to know! SOUTHERN PACIFIC That sweet man, Sugar Davis, and the Shiek Jack Raimes are now enjoying a much longer stay in Frisco.

Nunn and family are going to Chicago, New York and Canada, for what we don't know. Arthur Senior is planning on purchasing a red hot closed car to greet them on their return. Arthur must be doing well or he would not stay on the job; he is on. Keep on catering to the public, you are doing too fine, you got them all talking about you. Arthur, who has always been known as the Coffee and Sahdwich king for the S. P. has now relinquished his title in favor of The Honorable Mr. L. H. Hicks; he says he believes in giving a poor boy a start, and is doing this great favor in order that his friend may bring up the required per friend may bring up the required percentage of the S. P. on account of Hicks being his student of N. K. it would not it more than do this to help him out. He sure has a kid heart. They are the kind of boys Mr. Pollock likes—men with charitable spirit. Arthur Scott, former Pullman Porter and S. P. Waiter has decided to last his lot with Geo. S. Grant Co., Real Estate Brokers, the boys think he is at last upon the right road to success. Harry Levette is really stepping in last company when he mingles with Jack Johnson in that red hot Lincoln. You don't care who burns the gas, do you Harry. The Harry saw high pocket Sims the other day, and he looked tired and haggard from the long walk he had from Fresno. The boys sometimes wonder what becomes of their railroad side-kicks after they leave the employment of the company, either permanently or temporarily. To wit: Robt. Rhone remembered by all as one of the most competent and experienced chefs in the service. Mr. Rhone, 1551 E. 52nd street has been out of service about two years and is busy with his little ranch in Watts where he raises some of the finest big boys that ever produced a pork chop or chitterling. That is his specialty in addition he has Belgian Hares, "Rhone Island Red" chickens and garden truck of all kinds. Mr. Claude Sims is now on the "Daylight." If left to Inspector Simon all the waiters and cooks would be of Teutonic blood but they would get that raise too. Quite a surprise was handed to the waiters on most of the State crews in the kind of people who are traveling on the new rates. They as a rule have had their education neglected as to tipping the waiter or bring their alcohol stoves and grocery stock along cooking in their rooms or sections. Harry Levette has been appointed Western representative of the "Associated Negro Press," supplying 87 of the largest Negro publications, both newspapers and magazines, and will appreciate any news or happening or phone or phone call in at 1207 N. Houston phone 596-061. He could also like a photo of one of Los Angeles' prettiest race girls for the front page of Heebie Jeeches magazine. Soys there's your chance for your wives or sweethearts. Wiley Wright has left the Golden State and is working in the city at his old trade. Mrs. Arthur Harris spent a pleasant Sunday visiting Catalina Island and enjoyed the wonderful island scenery and the marine views through the glass-bottom boat. Miss Sadie Reed, Pullman Maid on the Overland Limited to Chicago, entertained fifty guests at a Danssaint, Wednesday night last at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James Andersen, 3606 Budling. Punch and refreshments were served and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all, dancing to the starry carpepiece orchestra. One of the special personages arriving on the Golden Spring Wednesday, June 17th, was Miss Georgia Brown winner of a beauty contest at Topeka, Kansas, the prize for which was a contract at one of the studios here. She was accompanied by her mother, Aside from a slight awkwardness, probably due to inexperience, she had a very pretty face and beautiful complexion. UNION PACIFIC When it comes to read service, the Union. Pacific could not have selected a better qualified young man to render it than Dining Car Steward, J. G. Terry, U. P. Diner, 396. One very hot afternoon on the Los Angeles Limited there were a number of small children on board, many whom, on account of the extremely hot weather were quite frettful and worrisome to their mothers. Mr. J. G. Terry went through the train and gathered all the kids up and took them back to the diner where he put on a party for about one hour to the kid's delight and the tired mothers' relief. That's what I call service. When the dining car door would open you could hear the kids clapping their hands and singing London Bridge is Falling Down. He gave them all some cake and took the burden of a hot afternoon from many a tired traveler; and they say he has no family of his own.

A PLACE IN THE SUN WHO---- First spat out that damned calum- ny, That dastard lie, that we the Negro Race Do crave and yearn, with fawning deference, For social equality? Nay! Nay! Black as the night-shades' deadly gloom it stands, THAT LIE! We, the offspring of a parent race that came To these same shores crushed, shackle- bound and sold. Like beasts of burden; hunted, trapped, subdued, Torn from their homes to pour the sweat-bathed gold Into the coffers of the human brutes—THEIR MASTERS— While the sizzling lash bit deep, And ravished women hung their heads in shame We of that Race, now that an all-just God Struck from our necks the slave-yoke not long since, Wish but to dwell in this, the land that they, Our fathers, mothers, enriched with their blood, In peace and harmony—a Race apt. We wish our manhood's brawn to have a place Where whirring wheels of Industry spin 'round. Wish that our women may, the home-nest plan, Our offspring rear, to honor and revere. The flag we live for, die for, fearing not Assassin's bomb, nor curling lip of Hate. To know the moneys that we earn and save Has money value, though our skins be black— THE RIGHT TO LIVE! What less can any Race Ask then that that, and no more do we ask— In our own veins flows blood of Pharaoh's line; We did not seek the strain of other blood. But this alone we ask, we crave, demand— The right to live! A PLACE IN THE SUN! By: HARRY LEVETTE BROWN HOMESTEAD SOLD Mrs. Jos, Brown, widow of the late Jos. Brown sold, her home at 1732 Iowa Ase.

Presiding Elder Robinson led the van by bringing in more money than any of the preachers and brought a big cheer from the conference when she carried a sack full of silver to the table.

We, as Christians wish to follow as closely as possible, the footsteps of our Master, but the shield of preservation of our race, its standards of wisdom and intelligence must be upheld. It must be remembered that Christ was not an advocate of mixed races, and unless race segregation is firmly enforced, the result will be a degeneration toward meediocrity and the ultimate overthrowing of Christian ideals. The Creator had a positive reason for dividing humanity into the various races, according to His will, and disobedience to Divine law forever leads to chaos and destruction. Therefore it is not the idea of the Caucasian race to crush or humiliate these primitive children. They only seek to prevent them from overstepping the Higher laws which their childish bigotry and lack of proper knowledge have sorely misrepresented. It has been stated with much bombast, that legroes in Los Angeles own five million dollars worth of property in this city. Compare this insignificant amount with the tremendous investments made by Caucasians in Los Angeles. The total value of Negro investments in the city would scarcely cover the building of one good sized office building yet they use the childish plea of attempting to dictate to the honorable decision of the United States Supreme Court of Washington, D. C. We of the Southwest represent homes and lots amounting in value to over forty million dollars which we are now protecting through our courts, and which we will continue to protect up to the-court above mentioned. Many people of the Southwest have their life's earnings invested in homes throughout this district and were living happily and peacefully among themselves, until the invasion of Negroes cast a shadow upon them. Suppose we turn traitors to our race and refuse to assist our White brother in bearing the burden which has befallen him? The loss, per lot, according to estimates from Chicago and other cities which have had the same trouble, amounts from one to two thousand dollars per lat, causing a depreciation of from five to ten million dollars of White man's property in the Southwest alone. This loss amounts to more than all the property owned in Los Angeles by the Negro, and this district is only one little spot of this great city which we are trying to keep White. We still have time to protect our rights, to alter and enforce laws, and insist upon proper zoning or segregation. Let us remember the patriot, Paul Revere, whose cry, "The Regulars are Coming" aroused a slumbering nation to the protection of their rights and saving America from dictatorship of another country. His invisible spirit is again pounding at the doors of our hearts bidding us as true Americans, to awake and uphold the flag of our country, which the hands of the White man alone can prevent from dragging in the dust. Africa is the true home of the Negro race—If he resents the laws by which he is governed in a Caucasian country, he is at liberty to return to his native shores, and if he wishes to live in America, and partake of her prosperity, culture, refinement and education, he must be willing to abide by the wishes of the White man and not return the compliment by trampling, roughshod, upon his emancipators.—The Greater Home Protective Association. We are herewith reprinting an editorial from the pen of the editor of the West Jefferson Press, June 4, 1926; in which the editor comments widely and wildly upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court, and makes a plea for a united effort in behalf of race discrimination, and "iim crowism". We deplore the fact that President Coolidge, when he signed his name to the segregation measure furnished the amuition with which this new war favoring segregation was started; and in the same breath we believe that fire must be fought with fire. Every American, whether he be white or colored, and by the way, according to our observation most Americans are colored; we have seen, but a few, what you would call white ones with the exception of those who are painted white, a privilege which the real colored ones enjoy also: should enjoy the privilege, if he is able to pay for the same, of living with his family in whatever section, state or city he sees fit or deems the most desirable for himself and family. Now, since there seems to be a nation-wide movement on to segregate the Negroes or colored people—Let the Negroes of whatever shade or hue form a strong combination that cannot be broken by political power, be it ever so high priced, and fight to retain what few rights we now enjoy and all due us as law abiding American citizens, who helped to make the Constitution, and have always upheld the honor of this government. A burning message is promised the citizens of Los Angeles, who are planning to hear the Rt. Rev. Henry Blanton Parks, Senior Bishop of the African Methodist Church, June 30th, at the New Eagle Hall, 832 South Central. Bishop Parke is ripe with years of experience, and is a student of passing events, alert to every issue or movement that affects the interest of his people. To hear him upon this occasion is a special privilege. FAITHFUL SERVICE Readers of this paper will miss the service of Mrs. J. W. Scott of Sacramento, who has for a number of years so patiently and ably acted as our correspondent from that city. Mrs. Scott had real newspaper ability and had she chosen the work as a profession she no doubt would have been a real success. She is acknowledged as one of our very best correspondents and all with whom she came into contact, readily grant to her the first prize in this particular line.

DEPUTY SHERIFF ORGAN IZES WHITE MOB (Continued from Page One) there. This is all I am going to say for when I talk about this question, being from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and you know what they did there, well I just don't feel qualified to talk about it." I call to your attention at this time the fact that in the year 1921, hundreds of my race were killed in Oklahoma and thousands of them were driven from the city and that several million dollars of property they owned was burned to the ground; that the most horrible murders and sufferings resulted from a mob which had been fanned and led to attack first one colored family and then all the colored people in that city. (b) F. C. Finkle, President, I think of what is called the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the committee appointed to drive me from the neighborhood, said in referring to the visit he paid me: "I told him he had better dispose of the property and live in a Colored neighborhood. I told him I did not know what I would do if a Colored man moved into my block and lived there and I said that he would not stay there very long. I must add there is no law to it by which you can lawfully make him move. As to this Colored man, I do not think he should stay there. I live far away from that neighborhood yet I do not think he should stay there. I am willing to help out and to go the limit to get rid of this Colored family in this neighborhood. I do not know how it can be done, but it must be done." I met a meeting a Mr. Grund said: "I am interested in this matter, this man (meaning me) does not live but about five minutes' drive from here and if you want him here, I will send for him and have him here in 5 minutes." Finkle said: "If you bring that man here, I do not want to be responsible for what will happen to him. I think you ought to say to that man that he ought to move out." At this point in the meeting a man stood up and said that I had made the remark that I would die before I moved out. This remark was untrue but to this remark it was said from half the audience, "he certainly is liable to have to die." The President of this meeting, the said F. C. Finkle, after various discussions, invited those who wished to attend, to come to the next meeting, (which is to be at the office of S. Z. Fitzgerald, Tuesday, June 22nd, 1926). 6. The paper before referred to, the Southwest Topics, has from time to time published inflammatory statements inviting people to meetings, particularly the meeting at the Manchester and Hoover Street School and has attempted to stir up sentiment against me and my being forced from our home regardless of the method necessary to do so. One item published in the news column on the 17th of June, began as follows: "If you sell your house and lot to Negroes, we will give you a black coat of Tar and Feathers." May I not call your attention to the fact that in such a way as this some five thousand people were led to attack the home of Dr. Ossian Sweet in Detroit, Michigan, on the 8th day of September, 1925; that the windows were all broken with stones and bricks, the furniture demolished and one man shot in the crowd and died from the result of the wound; that the house was burned and that the shot twelve Negroes were charged with first degree murder and not one single white person was arrested. F. C. Finkle, a special officer of the law, a deputy sheriff of this County is actually fanning the spirit of the mob against me in this neighborhood, regardless of the methods this mob may use. The Southwest Topics is publishing inflammatory statements, and School property is being used for the purposes here-inbefore stated in this letter. As to the statements made at the Manchester and Hoover Street School, some of which is quoted herein, the same was taken down in shorthand and the stenographer will swear to and verify to same by oath if necessary. I am a law-abiding citizen. I purchased the property because it was cheap, well-located in that it was high and dry and close to a school to which my three children can go. It affords in addition, yard space in which my children may play. I have lived in the neighborhood for about four years and a large part of the time each day my wife and children are unprotect the door during my absnee and annoyed my wife and family and made threats against us. F. C. Finkle said to me in person that the law could not protect me from the K. K. K. and that they were likely to take me out and tie me to a telegraph pole any evening. In view of this fact, I feel it my duty as a law abiding citizen, to appeal to you for I, like everybody else, would very much dislike to have a mob storm my house or exert any violence toward it or toward me and my family. I am calling upon you as a respectable part of our Government to af- ford me protection as far as if it is lawful and proper for you to do. In as much as Mr. Finkle has told me that I am to be tied to a telegraph pole I confess that I shall be very apprehensive indeed if I have the misfortune to see him or his committee or any person he may send prowling about my house either in the day or night. Hoping you will consider this matter in the light of the serious condition it puts me in and in the light of the fact that Negroes have furnished about all the material that mobs have used in destroying property and ruthlessly taking human lives and that I and my family are Negroes, I beg to remain.

Great, Greater, Greatest Baby Contest $1065.81 RAISED IN FIVE WEEKS. 18 NEW BANK ACCOUNTS OPENED IN LIBERTY BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATION FOR BABIES. Southern Pacific Red Caps Gave Baby Isabel Bentrice Gray, Five Silver Certificate Memberships—$25 To Run 5 Years Consecutively We came, we saw, we conquered, is the glorious message sent out by the babies who participated in the greatest baby contest ever conducted by the N. A. A. C. P. in the whole country. The citizens of this city may justly feel proud of the results of the contest which closed with a big meeting at the Second Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, June 30th. After all it was a united effort, for the city was effectively combed for funds for the last five weeks. Not once during the five weeks did the enthusiasm diminish and the activity reached a most exciting climax, Sunday. Mrs. J. M. Scott as chairman of the contest committee, who has been untiring and self sacrificing to make this contest such a flattering success, is receiving congratulations on all sides. Mrs. Scott in turn is commending her committee, the mothers and sponsors and the community in general for the wonderful spirit of cooperation. Prior to the reports Sunday afternoon a children's program was rendered under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Fowler. The real interest was aroused when roll-call of the babies was started and the dollars began to roll in. The judges retired as the last report was made and the very atmosphere was tense as the money was being counted. Finally, Mr. J. C. Banks, representing the judges, appeared and began to read the amounts and as the individual reports grew larger applause increased, and when the total amount was announced pandemonium reigned. In view of the fact that the amount raised far exceeded the expectations of the committee the awards have been increased much to the gratification of the mothers and workers. One hundred dollars was set as the goal and all babies going over the top will be given bank accounts in the Liberty Building & Loan Association. All babies over $200.00 a bank account of $20.00 each. All babies in the contest not receiving cash prizes were awarded beautiful gifts contributed by various donors. The most honest broke all records for baby contests held by the N. A. A. C. P. in the history of the organization for individula contributions and for the total amount raised. It may well be considered a real epoch in N. A. A. C. P. work. A associated with Mrs. J. M. Scott on the baby contest committee: Mrs. A. C. Richardson; Dr. Vada Somerville; Mrs. Simeon Johnson; Mrs. Sadie Cole; Mrs. Ruth Fowler; Mrs. Mamie V. White.

CURRY This is the first of a series of 16 articles that I intend to write on semi-pro baseball and amateur athletics in Southern California. In baseball we have a baseball known as the Southern California League. It is composed of two colored clubs, one Japanese and nine other clubs. The two Colored Clubs are the L. A. Panthers and the Watts Monarchs. As is generally known I am manager of the Watts Monarchs and the Monarchs are like San Francisco, last in the Southern California League. However, we have won our last two games and the boys have begun to hit the old apple and from now on the Monarchs will bear watching. We have sixteen more games to play and the team is in great shape at the present time. I will now give you a tip on our pitching staff. We have Lewis, known as the "Iron Horse," "Lefty" Shaw, Cunningham and Carl-Hewitt. The above are enough to stop any semi-pro club in Southern California and if you don't believe it ten will get 20. We also have the four horsemen and I will name them: Bruce Jackson; J. Wyndon; B. McGinnis and Oland Dials. These boys are hitting better than 370. Next Sunday we start on our Western tour and stop over at Palms to play the Palms Merchants. We will win from then and the following Sunday, July 4th, we will travel to Sherman to meet the Sherman Merchants. We will take them into camp and then return to our home grounds. You can bet your bottom dollar we will win the Southern California Penant Interstate League (By the Associated Negro Press) W.

Allenton Dukes lost to the Harrisburg Giants here Thursday in an Interstate League game, 14 to 2. The liveliest, spiciest comedy of the year will be at Gumut Club on July 9th. If you miss "A Full House," you'll miss the best entertainment of the year! For The Associated Negro Press The hardest role in baseball is not always at the time when the pitcher has the bases loaded wit no outs. Nor is it te role of pitcher when there is a man on third\in the late innings, scores tied and a heavy hitter at bat and another one coming up. On the surface it probably would appear that the pitcher has the hardest role in the game at one of these critical points. But how about the batter? There really is no more difficult role in baseball than that of pinch hitter. In these days of specialists it is the desire of every manger that he have a competent right and left-handed batter to use in the pinch. Yanked suddenly from the bench with no opportunity to look over a few pitches, facing some star pitcher going at speed, in a tense situation, the pinch hitting job is far from an enviable one. Using a pinch hitter is a pure gamble. However, the success or failure of the pinch hitter can make the manager look like a wise guy or a dub. When you see a pinch hitter sent in to hit for someone—sympathize with him—the needs it—he is facing the hardest role ever awarded a base ball player. And when he delivers in the pinch—give him credit—heaps of it—for he has accomplished something under a great handicap. Hail the pinch hitter who hits in a pinch! DIAMOND CHAT BY A. D. WILLIAMS For The Associated Negro Press DISCIPLINE IS NEEDED—COMING TO IT SOON—THE WORM TURNS —TOO MUCH SCIENCE It is rather hard to discipline a ball club, especially in organized baseball where men play for the love of it— not the game—but "fifthy heure." A case in point is the recent upheaval in the Cube" stronghold and the suspension of Grover Cleveland Alexander, that colorful pitcher of the National League, by manager Joe McCarthy. Grover, it seems, formed the habit of saturating his inner person too frequently with the well-known spirits—intoxicating liquors. He appeared in t hotel lobbies of three cities on the recent road trip almost "down to the bricks." This was too much for McCarthy. Hence the suspension. Manager McCarthy is to be commended on his action. Discipline MUST be maintained on ball clubs. There are a few colored managers in the game who might profit from the example set by McCarthy. It gets results when dealing with drunks. We know of two or three managers who have not only suspended players but have released them outright for this same defect. It pays. Discipline Must Be Maintained In Baseball—Though the "STARS" fall. Negro baseball, especially organized Negro baseball, is a much larger business enterprise than most people think or realize. Those who patronize the theatre and find a waiting line a block long immediately realize that the theatre is BIG BUSINESS. Patrons of ball parks see from 1,000 to 12,000 cash customers at some of the colored parks. It's Business—Real Business! Too bad more people do not realize that baseball is no longer a thing of pleasure alone. It has developed into a business of great proportions. Club owners, too, are slow to grasp this fact. Big Business is constantly on the alert for talent which might be converted to their use in the conducting of their business. Big league Baseball (white) is daily sending out scouts in search of promising players. Not so with the Colored clubs. They lose much by not doing so. Good players remain in obscurity. No scouts, few players of high caliber. We are coming to fit, though! Slowly but surely! It goes with Big Business! The worm turns. Hildays in the Eastern sector of the baseball battlefield for worms has held a monopoly on the top-position of the pennant ladder, and now Hildale is being threatened, as of former years, but perhaps not seriously. Last week a dark horse, the Cuban Stars, kicked the world champions off their throne and showed so much stuff in doing it that the fans of the East think they mean to reside in the neighborhood of first place for sometimes They might do just that thing. The worm will turn, you know. - 08 - Science is Wonderful! There can be no argument about this alien matri- LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1926 ter. That much is settled. However science is science—and baseball is simply baseball—always! Science in baseball is appreciated by the average cash customer only when the home team wins! And, when a club fails to win with such a marked degree of regularities as that displayed by some of the clubs of the three colored leagues—the time is at hand when Old Man Science should be tossed overboard and a generous carg of Old Time Baseball taken on which will no doubt do about as much as science to bolster up losing clubs. Hits make for runs more often than science. Too much science can be detrimental to some ball clubs. Some players 'Savvy' science. Some do not. All of 'em 'savvy' plain old-fashioned baseball! (By the Associated Negro Press) AT ST. LOUIS.-The past week saw the American Giants and the St. Louis Stars clinched in a death grip for the supremacy of the last place of the first division. The Stars walloped the Giants three out of the five games and by doing so occupies fourth place berth for the present week, while the Chicago aggregation must rest content with heading the last division, or in other words, fifth place in the club standing. St. Louis will start the week's play with a 47-point margin separating them from the Detroit Stars, but St. Louis will be playing Cleveland, while the Detroit club will be having plenty of worry with the champion Monarchs. The St. Louis Club should go into third place a shey are favored to win from the Cleveland club and Detroit is figured to drop the series to the Kansas City baseballers. AT INDIANAPOLIS. The Cuban Stars started in copping only one hit per game, the fastball DeMoss chan in Naptown last week Indianapolis holds down second place by a scant margin of nine points, but they should worry as their nearest rivals, the Stars of Detroit will be playing the Monarchs, and the A's will have Dayton on their menu. They should beat the Marcos four out of five and retain their lead with a slight increase. Detroit would have to win more games of this week's series from the Monarchs than the A's will win from the Dayton Club in order to get ahead of the DeMossites. It can't be done very handily. AT CHICAGO—It was a lea week in the Windy City for baseball, the Giants being out of town, but at that the fans saw three wonderful games played at the Giants' Park between the Cleveland Elites and the Kansas City Monarchs. The Kaws captured the entire trio from the Chicagoans, but they were all ball games. Cleveland this week will tussle with St. Louis and Kansas City will proceed to demonstrate to Detroit how the game should be played. There is slight chance to get the Kaws out of the front line trenches before the second half is started. The American Giants are busy with the Cubans this week and hope to garner enough games to go up a notch or two in the standing. If Cleveland can beat St. Louis a few games, two will do, and the Giants can take the series from the Islanders, they can climb a bit. The Cubans, however, will have something to say about this. They managed to add another win to their last week and pushed Cleveland to the cellar. AT DAYTON—The Dayton club had a very bad week at home with Detroit as guests. The Detroiters carried home the bacon in the shapes of five games win and one lost. Dayton, unless they win from Indianapolis, will have to change places with the Cubans next week. They play great baseball but seem to lack the winning punch. However, they need not be discouraged. The Chicago club can sympathize with them in this matter. POSSIBILITIES—In the first division the only chance to better their position in the standing will probably be at St. Louis. The Stars seem to have the best chance to beat out Detroit for third place. Neither Indianapolis or Chicago can advance in standing unless there is a sudden and complete reversal of the dope. The fight will be between the last three second division clubs for the 6th place of honors (?). Memphis Leads Southern League in Hitting (By the Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn., June 20. According to hitting power the Memphis Bad Sox should be on top of the Southern League. The Memphis will six regulators having average mating from How The Teams Bat (By the Associated Negro Press) One of the most surprising features of the National League batting averages is the wide difference in the team on the batting and the standing of the clubs. Dayton, resting almost on the bottom of the league, tops the league in team batting, while Kansas City, league leader, occupies seventh place in team hitting. St. Louis with 412 hits tops the league in hits made, yet has the smallest tetam batting average of the league. The Mound City also leads the league in total bases, stolen bases and home runs, which probably account for the great and rapid climb made by this club since it received its first few set-backs at the hands of the Monarchs, and American Giants at the beginning of the season. Kansas City and the American Giants rank second and third respectively in the number of hits, total bases and stolen bases. Detroit and Indianapolis in the order named follow St. Louis in home runs. The league as a whole has a batting average of 315. 15 LEADING HOME RUN HITTERS Suttles, St. Louis 7 R.

This bout, scheduled for last week, was postponed on account of rain. It proved a tread for the local followers of both boxers. It was a fast and furious bout, with first the decision benign in favor of DeMarco and then Williams. The draw decision met the approval of the crowd which cheered the fighters for many minutes after they left the ring. 320 to 420 and the others hitting around the 390 mark, are leading the league in hittings with Birmingham and Albany tied for second honors. Ward, the hard hitting Memphis outfielder, and Parnell of the New Orleans Ace, are tied for hitting honors with an impressive average of .420. Other players hitting .400 and above are Smith of Birmingham and Glass om Memphis. Ward also holds the leadership in number of runs scored, having crossed the platter 38 times. Parnell ranks a close second with 29 runs and Smith third with 28 to his credit. Sykra, the former Morehouse star, is proving to be one of the hardest hitters in the circuit and has the respect of all of the mounds. In addition to hitting consistently this collision is a fast suffelder and dangerous on the basis. The Birmingham Black Barons continued their winning streak by taking three straight games from the Nashville Elites, and are still leading the parade. Memphis showed its class by winning two out of three games from the reinstated Black Crackers. With the close of the first half of the season in eight, the cope is that the Black Burgee will cop the first half men, with Alhany, New Orleans, and Memphis standing in the order named. President Bart Brady is related over the qualified success of the league. The officiating insurance daily is full and the teams are spared with deficiencies.

GORDON COMPANY RENTALS - COLLECTIONS REAL ESTATE - FIRE INSURANCE 3617 CENTRAL AVE. After a great deal of searching matchmaker Wadhams of the Vernon Athletic Club has found an opponent for Baby Joe Gans who is boxing the semi-windup to the Colima-Willis main event, Tuesday night, June 22nd. The bout will be for eight rounds to a decision and will be the second time the pair have met. At the last meeting after a slow fight, the bout was called a draw. This time everything will be different, Gans says. He believes he was entitled to the decision-before but he is taking no chances with Layman and the referee and is going out for a knockout. Gans has improved tremendously since his last scrimmage with Layman while Layman is about the same. They are weighing at 1388 a good figure for both boys. Jack Thompson again in top form is the Jack Thompson who was unbeatable and who rang up a string up consecutive knockouts two years ago at the Assembly Athletic Club. Friday night at San Diego, California he beat Billy McCann to such an extent that the referee was forced to Fresh from out of town victories, Young Jack Thompson will show his sidelines at Los Angeles fans next Saturday night at the Main Street Saturday Club. GILPIN ENTERS MOVIE'S REALM GILPIN ENTERS MOVIE'S REALM WILL STAR IN THE FILM "TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM" By: DANIEL W. CHASE (For the Associated Negro Press) If you will ask Carles S. Gilpin, the most famous actor among colored performers, what are the vital qualities of his work, he will tell you that enthusiasm is one, and that ability is the other. Gilpin dreams; he dreams MPSON BEATS ANN AT SAN DIEGO stop the bout in the eighth round and award it to Thompson in a technical knockout.

To me Gilpin is an artist and more. He possesses an amazingly sure sense of relations and a most delicate feeling for quality. Perhaps, and it may be stated with certainty, his fame was won when he played "his part" so well as "EMPEROR JONES" in the play of the same name; although he had appeared more or less frequently in other plays. Probably it was as Custis in "Abraham Lincoln" that this great actor began to make his way upward. When asked whether he had been trained for the stage, Mr. Gilpin, smiling, remarked that he was a printer and has had experience in newspaper work, which experience, he added had been of some significance. He has had many wonderful contacts with the leading actors of this country and of the Continent, and has had some strong parts in several stellar attractions. GETS INTO MOVIEDOM Charles S. Gilpin in Philadelphia is attracting much attention. He is here with the Colored Players' Film Corporation, an organization composed of colored actors of the first rank. A picture is being filmed at the film studio at 58th and Haverford Avenue. The picture in which Gilpin is being directed is one of the old time melodrama NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM", which is to be produced very elaborate scale. A preparation ago, "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" was one of the favorite dramatic offerings, much enjoyed by theatre-goers. In this company among other celebrities of the Negro stage is Lawrence Chenault. The film studio at 58th street is well equipped, and has everything necessary for the development of a perfect film.

Fifty years after Columbus discov- ered America, Cabrillo, a Spanish navigator, charted the bay; 1 ater came Junipero Serra andthe famous Franciscans who established the first mission station, San Diego de Alcala, a few miles from the present site of the city. Two other mission stations are located in the county—San Luis Rey de Francia and Pala Asistencia. The site ‘of the first fort and settle- ment fs marked by a cross at “Old Town” on the outskirts of the modern city. This is the spot where John C. Fremont, the Pathfinder, first raised the American flag in Southern Cali- fornia. Here also is the old Spanish hacienda, identified as the marriage place of Ramona, heroine of “Helen lunt Jackson’s famous novel. ‘As on the trip between San Fran- cisco and Los Angeles, the motorist is offered a choice of two roads, inland and coast, in traveling between Los Angeles and the Mexican bordcr. The Coast Route clings to the’ path vf the Mission Fathers, passing through the interesting old mission of San Juan Capistrano, by way of picturesque La Jolla, while on the Inland Route the motorist may visit, the interesting mission church at Pala. All of the attractions and amuse- ments offered by ocean, bay and mountains may be enjoyed at the very gates of San Diego. Bilboa Park, a 1400-acre public reserve in the heart of the eity, is the site of the buildings erected for the Panama-California Exposition, with towers, courts and corr‘dors embowered in trees and shrubs from every land and millions of flowers abloom throughout the year. ‘Tijuana lies 16 milés south of Sar Diego, across the international bor- der. During the winter months there is racing daily. The Island of San Clemente rises far to the north and the Coronado Is- lands lie 14 miles out at sea. These islands are reached by excursion from San Diego. Below the point lies the Army and Navy Aviation fields, Coro: nado and Tent City. Here is also lo- cated a Greek Theatre. Seven beache: are within easy motoring distance of the city. “The waters outside of the harbor are alive with tuna, barracuda, Span- ish mackerel, bonita, skipjack, yellow. tail and many others. Albacore are caught by the ton. Swordfish are taken by fod a few miles off the har- hor.

We must take account of our resources. We have resources. We have large resources. We seem to be finding nothing but little bullets. ____ 1 ```markdown ``` FRIDAY. JUNE 25, 1926 BUSINESS TALK LITTLE BULLETS We are in the age of big battles. But in actual war we have learned that big battles are not won with little bullets. The exigencies of war have carried us from the musket to the cannon, to the gatling gun, to the Krupp gun, and to the monster that carries explosives across a distance of seventy-five miles. The Negro race in the United States had just as well awake. A real war is facing us. We all know the war is on. Race discrimination is growing and spreading. We feel it in all public places for general service or amusements; we feel it in practically all the institutions of learning; we feel it in the choice of home sites; and we feel it through the Christian denominations. In fact a few years ago a certain little bunch of men secured practical domination of a great inter-church organization in this country, and since that time the efforts to force segregation on the Negro community were mined. It is an unchristian and an anti-christian attitude. Nevertheless it prevails, and it is up to us to use its advance, to check it, if possible; and to find friends who will help us to find the right perspective for a democracy based on the ideals of the Christ. Just now we find ourselves right in the midst of the battle. Let us not deceive ourselves. We cannot win the big battle with little bullets. And that is what we are trying to do. In the late world war Germany was well prepared. It had the equipment, and the men. It had been making huge preparations for forty years. I remember reading a newspaper article soon after the war started which in effect said. Germany has the men and the military preparation, but Great Britain has the gold. And it is resources that are the determining element in every war. The Los Angeles Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has just closed a drive last Sunday. They raised four thousand dollars. It is wonderful. We are all happy in it. It was raised in a Baby Contest suggested by Dean Pickens. It was a wonderful plan for meeting an emergency. Now the emergency is passed. The treasury of the local branch is repleted. But when are we going to find some larger bullets? The Bible says that the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak. It also says that to whom man is given, of which he is deprived. The folks who have been more prospered than others are likely to owe that they are entitled to the full enjoyment of their larger powers and successes. But they should remember that God has raised them up for such a time as this. It is always expected that the man who has more than his fellows should up more than his less fortunate brothers. There are a hundred people in Los Angeles who could easily give each a hundred dollars per year for this cause. Some can give a hundred dollars more easily than some can give a dollar. It ought to be easy to raise twenty-five thousand dollars a year in Los Angeles, if we get to see that big battles cannot be won with little bullets. POLITICAL POT PIE POLITICAL POT PIE Landreth for Congress from the 9th and Joe Crail from the 10th at this writing seem to have the big lead which will land for them the nomination. Of course Landreth has a bigger field to overcome than Crail but at this writing he seems to be equal to the occasion. In the 10th District you have nothing but Joe Crail for Congress. It really seems that the forces which are to handle the Shortridge campaign had better get on the job, otherwise the Clark will have such a lead in the Senatorial race that he cannot be headed. Johnnie Hill as he is affectionately known by his friends is no tonly holding his old friends but constantly gaining new ones. This fact his supporters say will surely put him over the top for the superior court at the approaching primaries and election. J. S. Ealey of the Young Men's Republican Club fame is rapidly recovering from a broken arm received in an automobile accident only a fortnight past. W. H. (Pop) Sanders says that he is vitally interested in the success of a number of Judges and will very soon be ready to announce his choice for those positions. Harry Beal of American Legion fame has just returned from the big State Reunion of the Veterans at Monterey and it is safe to see that things from now on will pick up from the Goodcell way. Noah D. Thompson is right out infront for Lieut. Governor Young and says that he is down on the winner. Woodrow Wilson has already opened up headquarters for his East Side Independent Club at 17th and Central Ave. This organization always cuts a big dash in every election and is considered a real factor at all time.

It is driven by air propeller the same as a seaplane. When the boat reaches a high speed, 60 or 70 miles an hour, it jumps and skimps along the top of the water, touching only here and there like flat stones the boys throw across a pond. San Francisco—A costly home and automobile in Los Angeles, a ranch in Minnesota and a fat bank account won a wife for Francis Copeland, but her awakening to the fact that he was only a buck private brought about a divorce action. New York—Policeman Thomas Davis saw two men drive away in his brand new automobile. He shouted for help and was answered by a truck driver. Within a short time the truck closed in on the stolen machine and the crooks jumped off, one of them shouting, "This car ain't no good anyway." Wayne, W. Va.—A cow belonging to W. A.
