Preacher Attacks Eagle Editor JUDGE LANGDON HIGHLY COMMENDED Former Chief Justice, F. M. Angellotti: Judge Langdon is one of the ablest jurists we have in California." Former Associate Justice Max C. Aloas: "Judge Langdon has an integrity and a capacity that makes him stand out as one of the best judges JUDGE WM. H. H. HUTTON we have in our higher courts. It is to be hoped that California will not fail to avail itself of the opportunity of placing so valuable a man on the Supreme bench." Superior Judge J. C. Needham, successor to Judge Langdon on the Superior Court bench in Stansilas County, and former member of Congress, representing a district in which San Diego once was included: "I strongly favor Judge William H. Langdon for promotion to the Supreme Court. His ability, integrity experience and especially his aptitude for dispatch of work, will make him an ideal member of our highest court." Mayor James Rolph, Jr., of San Francisco: "It is encouraging that a man and jurist of Judge Langdon's character and ability will seek a place on the Supreme bench. He is exceptionally fitted for higher judicial responsibilities." R. M. Fitzgerald of Oakland, one of the leaders of the California Bar: "Judge Langdon has in unusual degree the true judicial temperament which may be relied on at all time to do fair and impartial justice." Judge Langdon was formally received by adjournment of the Superior Court in San Diego, Monday and introduced by the judges to the two score attorneys before the bar. In one of the courtrooms, an attorney, an ex-judge, six feet four inches tall, with a foot resting on a chair, was arguing as Judge Langdon entered, "You reminded me of Abraham Lincoln, and I am sorry to have interrupted your address," said the judge "I am from Sangamon County in Illinois," replied the attorney proudly. "My father left there in 1856 when he came to California," replied Judge Langdon. An exchange of Lincoln stories followed. It developed that Judge Langdon's father, during his lifetime, was one of the corroborating authorities for the story of the farmer who at the White House thirty years afterward asked Lincoln what he did with a whetstone he used while scything hay for the farmer, and the President remembered placing it on top of a high gatepost, where it was found when the farmer returned home. Judge Langdon's father, in his youth, was a neighbor of the farmer who never gave up in his effort to recover a good whetstone, and had a letter from him telling of the White House incident. Virginians Lynch Man Wytheville, Va., Aug. 26—A, mob of masked men stormed the county jail here Sunday morning and shot to death Raymond Bird, held for an alleged attack on a white girl several months ago. The men are said to have got into the jail by calling the jailer out front and covering him with their shotguns. They then entered the prison and killed Bird in his cell, afterwards taking him out and hanging him to a tree.

His knowledge of the state of state is unquestioned. His splendid record made him a long experience in the district attorney office eminently qualifies him for leadership and no candidate now seeking our suffrage is more deserving our support.

We are earnestly appealing to every voter who is standing for justice, equality and fair play to help nominate Buron Fitts by the handsomest majority ever accorded a candidate in California.

France To Use Motion Pictures to Check Slavery and Cannibalism (By A. N. P.) Paris, France, Aug. 25.—A curious gathering has just been held in this city which brought together some of the great names of France, in the name of the committee whose work is the abolition of slavery, and which was founded by Georges Rosting, excommissioner of the merchant marine and colonial explorer. Despite the general ignorance of Frenchmen and Europeans on slavery, there are slaves in many different parts of the world. In Africa, especially, the rival tribes capture the would-be martyr, the dying, and defeated, and make slaves of them. Slaves might be said to be the function of cannibalism there. But the question has so far remained in the field of colonial history. The committee in France which has the subject at heart has abandoned impractical theories regarding it, and organized an expedition to Africa, which is to get busy within a few weeks. Its task will be to bring all documents and other information which will enable them to begin by the most practical immediate means the end of the present traffic in slaves. The aim is to create a powerful international public opinion on the subject. In his book, "Towards the Nile," General Baratier has traced some atrocious pictures. He writes: "Dango is an important market, provisions abound there, except meats. Shphe are preciously kept in order to be exchanged for slaves who will be fattened and eaten, because human flesh is more savory." "To be exact, they breed human livestock. Further on, Baratier says: "The lot of a slave here is truly frightful. It is the cattle which is not eaten; the slave counts much less than a chicken and his death means nothing." It is said that one of the daughters of the Duchess of Ulmengo was found dead at the home of a friend whose also had rhoe to seek the rumours of another friend who had been slain and also 6.1 MINISTERS' ALLIANCE ENDORSE TYLER As the 73rd Assembly District fight draws to a close the nomination of Attorney Willis O. Tyler is conspired by all those conversant with district politics. Attorney Tyler closes his campaign with the hearty approval of the interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Los Angeles City. The approval of his candidacy was voted Monday morning, and all the ministers of the various denominations pledged themselves to urge his election at the polls, for the good of the group, and for recognition of the eminent ser- vices Attorney Tyler has rendered the many pastors in litigation over property matter, as a shepherd at public meetings, and in interpartner churches, gaining refunds on tax assessments, etc. Attorney Tyler goes to the polls with the endorsement of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; Republican League of 312 Alexandra Hotel; the Central Labor Council of 540 South Maple Avenue; the Progressive Alliance of the City Club Building; the Women's Progressive Club; the Los Angeles City Council of the U. V. R.; the N. A. A. C. P.; the Women's Community League and the German-American Association, besides personal endorsements too numerous to publish, coming from friends in every walk of life, congratulating his mon the clean-cut manner in which he has made his campaign, based solely upon the vital issues now confronting the people of the district. Attorney Tyler is thanking those who have interested themselves in his campaign, says he approaches t he coming Primary with a grave sense of the growing responsibility that now confronts the citizens of this community in the field of politics. Those now here, will be doubled in numbers in the next ten or fifteen years, and the one safeguard to the gate that opens into the economic, civil and political equalities of our city, in the ballot box. Everybody is urged to vote on August 31st, for candidates cannot be elected with god wishes, it takes the vote of every citizen in the district to decide who are to be the Party's standard bearers. GIRL WAITS FOR HER ATTACKER (By A. N. P.) Memphis, Teen, Aug. 27—According to story printed in the commercial-Appeal of this city, Miss Bille Hollis, 19-year-old white girl, was criminally assaulted by two colored bandits who held her and her escort up at midnight. One of the men was large and the story tells how the girl is alleged to have waited for the second bandit while the first went to get him. Following the Appeal's description of the attack: "Forcing the young woman to get out of the car, according to her story, and that of Richards, the big Negro handed his pistol to his companion and led her away. Returning to the car in a few minutes, Richards declared the big Negro took the gun and stood guard while the other Negro went where the girl had been taken. LAURETTA MITTLER'S KIDDIES MINISTRY The Kiddies Ministry at Lakes Temple Monday evening, will be the Seasons feature affair. To miss seeing these feature minis in Monday evening means that you have missed the greatest entertainment that you will be privileged to see in many movies. Rev. L. B. Brown Tries To Pluck Eyes From Soaring Eagle Stung to the quick by the publication of the article on the supposedly Negro Exposition( which in reality was nothing more than the cheapest of cheap Carnivals) in our last issue, anent the connection of one who styles himself as Fev. L. B. Brown, this self same "sky pilot" pounced upon the editor of this paper near Spring and Fourth streets last Monday morning to engage him in physical combat. We are free to admit that the gentleman representing the cloth by his audacity caught us momentarily off our guard, got his fingers in our mouth, scratched our face and clawed at our eyes before we could turn on the power; and e.s a result of the assault we have had one blood-shot eye and some facial scratches for some days. Further, we are sure that if there was one lingering doubt of the truthfulness of the story published, that doubt has now disappeared like the baseless fabric of a vision. For no man would, for one moment resort to taking the law into his own hands as this one, unless he had been stung. Lies don't hurt, but the truth, when it hits the mark, cuts not unlike a sabre. This REVEREND GENTLEMAN used such profane language in threatening the life of the editor that we cannot, and would not, soil these pages by attempting even to abbreviate what he said. We have a written statement from him since this incident, asking the editor to retract, that he has proof that we have wronged him. What we want to say is, that we play no favorites and whenever he proves to us that we are wrong and he is right, we will be glad to retract, but until then there is nothing doing. The very fact, of course, right fight has been furnished in the acts which speak louder than words. Treats don't scare this editor by a long shot, and as to the crust street fighting, we will leave that to the PARSON, with an abiding faith that we can defend ourselves at any stage of the game—if not attacked cowardly. Even though we called a name in our article of last issue, we meant to be wholly impersonal; we ourselves count for nothing, our objective is to eternally put a stop to RACE EXPLOTATION and MISREPRESENTATION. We thought then, and think now, that the race was MISUSED in the premises spoken of and did not hesitate then, or even now, to denounce the procedure of the confessed head of the same. We know that it makes the road hard for future efforts if it is true that the City Council finds out that it was imposed upon in putting up miles of decorations just for a CARNIVAL. What we said about GAMBLING GAMES must have been true, for the place was RAIDED last Saturday, night and more than a score of arraignments were made; they plead GUILTY to conducting GAMBLING GAMES and were FINED. The Negro Business League at its meeting on last Thursday evening passed drastic resolutions denouncing the misrepresentation and appointed a committee to wait upon the City Council, the Mayor, etc. The universal sentiment among real race leaders is that we have been HUM-BUGGED; we are still of the same opinion. Holding this opinion we cannot do otherwise than to keep hearing to line let the chips fall where they may. We are trying to be law abiding, and if wronged must look to the law. If we could be forced to desist in our onward course by assaults and threats on our personal self we would be unworthy indeed, to occupy the position we hold as Editor of "The Soaring Eagle." The Yakoman, pushed by hunger, killed and stole a French adjutant. To do away with hunger in Africa is to lessen slavery. The condition of M. Rosting, will penetrate to the heart of that frightful land, it will film, without a disturbing sensibility as to the cause, the worst scene in which they will assist this with moving pictures all ready obtained in expected to provoke a movement that will be epic in its proportions. The trade possibilities between Liberia and American alpine and manufacturers are unlimited and most attractive. But in spite of the fact that (according to Professor Pittman) the Liberians are most anxious to establish a preferential trade with the United States, most every other white government of the world is represented and as yet very little trade with America has developed. American goods in large variety are much in demand and there seems to be no doubt that the Liberian Republic officially would welcome an expansion of trade with this country with especial reference to California grown and manufactured products. Not only does Liberia welcome American products, but she stands in need of the financial and moral encouragement and financial and moral encouragement and support which a closer relationship between the two nations should surely develop. As the case with any growing concern whether individual or governmental, capital is needed, is most welcome, and can be assured of Protection. Professor Pittman has brought a challenge to the commercial enterprise of the United States to come and trade for and develop the great natural wealth of Liberia under the auspices which are favorable as any other on earth. In view of the foregoing trade resume it is especially creditable to Afro-Americans in general and to the organizers and sponsors of the Liberian Transportation S. S. and Excelsior Mining Company in particular that this company takes the initiative in establishing direct trade relations between Liberia and the United States through the port of Los Angeles. Like pioneers in other fields who have nothing to start with but a vision, a dream, and an unalterable purpose, the above company has had difficulties to overcome and skepticism to combat. But gradually the vision has been vitalized into actuality until now they have a modern steel freight and passenger ship under contract of purchase due to sail in the near future with cargo and passengers to Monrovia and Harper, Cape Palmas, the latter being the headquarters for the company's large agricultural, mining and industrial holdings. In addition to a general shipping and trading business with Liberia this company plans to develop and market the great natural resources on and in its immense land grant which extends from the Atlantic coast beyond into the interior for many miles covering practically every sort of natural wealth and topography of the Republic from the rich coastal agricultural belt where rubber, coffee, etc. can be produced in abundance, to the uplands where mineral wealth abounds. It does not require a great deal of imagination for one to estimate the prosperity that will accrue from the commerce indicated and from the development of land which is so richly endowed with the natural products which the world cannot do without. Nor is it difficult to imagine the added stimulous which will result to the manufacturers of this section of the United States and to the prestige of this port through the establishment of a direct line to West Africa and Liberia. In addition to the direct development of its own holdings the company will do all in its power to encourage colonization by all who desire to live in a land of actual as well as theoretical freedom and where the rewards of labor are so large and certain. Setters and home builders are most welcome to Liberia. The Liberian government not only welcomes new setters and builders but Professor Pittman is authority for the statement that as good agricultural land as there is in the whole continent of Africa may be had in fee ownership for a comparatively trifling cost and for practically any purpose, from the warm lands where tropical products can be grown in abundance to the cool and rolling uplands where live stock thrive in rich and unlimited pasture. Nor are the opportunities limited to those who wish to engage in agriculture. Monrovia, the capital, is destined to become a stimulating and modern city to become the stimuli of the country's new commercial life; the villages thriving towns and parts. There are opportunities for all the trades and professions that pertain to such a development of urban life. The Liberian Transportation S. and Excelior Mining Company will most heartily co-operate with hives who desire to establish new hives and new homes, and comparatively low rates can be obtained by prospective homekeepers and professionals the initial trip of the CHIAPAS which will sail in September. The ship now is docked at pier 87 near the P. E. depot, San Pedro, where those interested are welcome and where they may secure information from the office aboard the boat. The company is disposing of only enough of its stock to the public to finance the sailing of the CHIAPAS and the opportunity of sharing in the wealth of the company's shipping development activities is a limited one which is rapidly being taken advantage of. This in brief, is an outfit of the "Cruise of the Chipunx." She will sail back toward the trade of the race laden with merchandise, settlers for HOME, and the heartfelt prayers and good wishes of millions of Afro-Americans whether in the pastoral sections of the South or the leaming cities of the North. This will be a precious cargo she will carry out from the port of Los Angeles, taking on another precious cargo of merchandise and good will from Liberia on her return. The Little Republic located on the great continent of Africa at a point nearest the Americas, too proud to ask for the friendship and support she so richly deserves, is SACRAMENTO By: FREDONIA MAGRUBER Mrs. M.

DAYAGE HONORED .AT BEAUTIFUL LUNCHCREON Of the number of attractive affairs given in honor of Mrs. Davage, wife of Dr. M. S. Davage of Clarke University, Atlanta, Ga., by Angelenos during their stay of several weeks in Southern, Calif., the seven-season luncheon arranged by Mrs. A. E. Duncan at her beautiful and epacious residence, 1308 West 35th street last Saturday, was one of the most elaborate. The house was profusely decorated with flowers and greenery and the table showed the work of an artistic hand, while the exquisite lighting effect added the final touch of consummation to a scene of unusual beauty. The guests were ladies only whose gorgeous gowns lent a picturesque animation that is rarely seen. Those present were: Mrs. Mathew S. Davage and sister, Miss Hattie Davage; Mmes, Jenkins, Harris; Naify, Wiltz, Willis, Hopgood, Roan, Everett, Wicks and the hostess, Mrs. Duncan.

Brawley, son of Mrs. Duncan and Dean of Clarke University, the only male present, performed the duties of "waiter" very efficiently. He was also ably assisted by Mrs. Story, sister-in-law of Mrs. Duncan. The guests departed with the pleasures of the evening stamped indelibly upon their memories.

AMANDA JONES CONSUELLA ROBINSON GWENDOLYN LOT GEORGE JONES LUCY BUCKNER NE PLUS ULTRA ART CLUB One of the warmest affairs of this season was a winnie bake given by the Ne Plus Ultra Art Club at Huntington Palisades on Friday, August 18, 1926. The guests met and left from the home of Miss Dorothy Johnston at 1418 Hooper Ave, arriving at the beach about 9:30 P. M. The fire was started and the dogs began to bark. The guests enjoyed themselves by eating buns, winnie, pickle, mustard, roasting marshmellows and drinking lemonade until 12 P. M. at that time the party went wading. The guests reported that they had never spent a pleasanter evening. There were forty present. The chaperones were: Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Perdue and Mrs. Webb.

At 12 the guests went wading. At 12:30 the guests departed declaring that they had never had a more wonderful time. JOLLY ANGELENOS Mr. Randolph Solomon, widely known among the ladies of the social set as the shiek of sheiks was the host to the Jolly Angeloses Social Club on the evening of August 12. It was another case so having too much fun, the kind that will remain within the minds of those present for years to come. Mr. Solomon always puts forth his best effort when it comes to entertaining the Jolly Angeloses. Mrs. Lenard Howard, another prominent man of the social set was enrolled in this wonderful society to assist us in carrying on the spirit of California pleasure. On the following evening, August 13th a birthday party was given by Miss Wills Jones at her residence, the club responded with tokens of birthday remembrances, and also to say goodbye to the hostess before she departs for the East. The Butterfly Girls's Social Club entertained Wilkie Lynne Olympic Athletic Club at a ballet lounge. August 18th at the home of one of its members and according to all reports, everybody had an unimaginable time. Some folk even joked about going home. The fact that there was a lapse for every lady might not have had anything to do with that, but then again it might have. Each gallant athlete had the pleasant duty of serving and the pleasant privilege of serving with the social butterfly) whose name he drew by chance) and it did not happen. Susie Stearns of the Wilshire Olympics treated the party to a hit of real athletic entertainment doing the old time buck-and-wing and Charleston; and Thelma Porter, of the Butterfly Girls seremedi the members of the mans-club individually, thereby provoking most comical exhibitions of infatuation or regret. Henty estate plenty room, plenty music furnished by Haven Johnson and cards for those who wanted them. That is how things were. THE BACHELOR GIRLS CLUB By: M. H. The Bachelor Girls are at last to be recognized as being among the moneyed clubs of the city. At the last meeting, held at the home of Miss Mary Earles of Council street, the club voted to raise the weekly dues and joining fees, which will automatically increase the treasure. If you didn't attend the KID PARTY given by the Bachelor Girl on last Friday evening, then ask your best friend all about it for he was there and had a jolly good time. Did your favorite Bachelor Girl invite you to the next Monday evening club meeting? If she didn't then you will be old at the home of Miss Louise Alexander is social. So long, see you there. GOLDEN STATE CLUB The Golden State Club held their weekly meeting at their new hall, 4821 Compton Avenue, The day night, August 19, 1926. This meeting was of a business nature and plans were talked on about their school opening dance to be given at Eagle Hall September 10, 1926. This dance promises to attract the largest crowd ever to attend a dance in Los Angeles. Saturday night, August 21, 1926, the members went on a trip to Ocean Park, about 16 members enjoyed this event. About twelve or one o'clock luncheon was served and the special dessert was watermelon. Our vice- President, Warren Brown, murdered many slices. The party returned home at $:30 A. M. James Garcia, our trap-drummer, says he has found out why girls like to book at the moon. ((There is a man in it.)) Don't forget to attend our school opening dance at Eagle Hall. We the members of Douglas Temple, 1434 E. 21st St. take this opportunity to correct the article which appeared in last week's issue, as regards the meeting held in the above named Church, Sunday, August 15th. The occasion of which Governor Richardson and Mrs. Mary L. Bethune were our honored guests. Let me say that Mr. Sanders, nor Mr. Alberger, were in any way responsible for the arrangements of this meeting. The arrangement of the above stated meeting and all other meetings held in Douglas Temple is the work of our very efficient Chairman of Suffrage and Civic Committee, Mrs. A. E. Walker, to whom all credit is due. (Signed). G. W. SHIELDS, Pastor. HIELDLS, Pastor Bast 21st Street, Los Angeles, Calif. DENTIST SLAIN (Bv A N P) New Orleans, La., Aug. 25.—James McCoy, well-known dentist, was shot and instantly killed by Toby, Turner, who is now in jail charged with murder. It is said that McCoy, while under the influence of liquor went to the home of his wife, Rhoda McCoy, who had been separated from him for the past six months and demanded her return. On refusal he struck her with his fist. Her screams brought Turner to her assistance, who shot McCoy four times. Turner claims self-defense, as it is said McCoy made a motion as if to draw a gun. Hanged For Assault New Orleans, La., Aug. 24—Willie Johnson was hanged at the parish prison Friday, being found guilty of a charge of criminal assault on a white woman 62 years old.

F Aber 0178 MRS MATTIE JACKSON 1115-1117 E. 10th St. Los Angeles, L.A. --- Ever since Adam and Eve had such a wonderful romance, it has been said, that man shall not live in peace with a woe-man, or without a woe-man. So, according to that, poor man is in a ticklish position. Man, being the stronger of the two, is supposed to be woman's master; but it brings a laugh when you think of him as such. The average married man in Los Angeles, is in many cases afraid to speak above a whisper, although he is a past master at talking at the big gate. Woman has gradually come to the front in a most forceful way, exercising her rights with a rolling pin physically, and by casting her vote politically, the latter can best be tified to by talking to some poor, down-trodien man, who has sought a divorce. When he gets through singing the blues to you, there will be no doubt left in your mind as to her power, with the biggest majority of domestic court judges. Why, Judge Summerfield will almost hang you on a woman's word, so what chance have you got. You might as well step right out and take one of the innocent things for life, and try to do as she says, or curl up and die. The only man who have any reasonable amount of success in securing a divorce after they are once hooked, are the ones who live in Hollywood, where they-marry today and get a divorce tomorrow. However, there are a few left who have not succumbed to the pre-eminence of woman. They stand in a baffl, as the rock of Gibralta, boldly in defiance of the feminine sex, with good jobs, and fair incomes, they go unmolested in their care-free way, no one to tell them they must stay home, and no one to bounce a rolling pin off their heads. But it has been said that even a rock can be worn down by the constant dripping of water, and though they appear hard boiled and unconcerned, SOME DAY THEY WILL FAILL; to this end, I am writing this article, in order to let the women of Los Angeles know that in their very midst, there are no less than fifty Pullman Porters, who are cheating some good woman out of a home and the comforts of life by staying single in defiance of olden traditions—if the right woman comes along, at the right time and puts up the right kind of battle, the spoils will be hers. Next week, in the next installment of the Matrimonial Chart, I will publish the names of five free, single, and disengaged Pullman Porters, operating on the best train on wheels between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the tallest woman in the right women comes along. Don't let them fool you ladies, but go after them and remember the writer is with you, because misery loves company. MT. ZION CHURCH OF SEATTLE, WASH., SEES LAST OF DEBT The congregation of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church turned out en masse last Sunday evening to celebrate the final payment on their new building which was erected in 1929 and 1921. More than 800 people attended the ceremony which was presided over by the Rev. Dr. J. Sterling Moore. Rev. Dr. W. D. Carter, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in Pasadena, Calif., reviewed the history of Mt. Zion Church which was organized in a little frame building on Eleventh avenue more than fifteen years ago. He also explained the ways in which funds of the new building had been raised. A feature of the service was the mortgage during which ceremony the hands and hats and shouted in their joy. Rev. Moote, Rev. Carter and all the officers of Mt. Zion officiated in the mortgage-burning ceremony. By the way, Sofia, another candidate for the Poison Ivy Club is the old guy who walks along behind you chewing tobacco and sees how close he can come to your white flannels every time he discharges a face full of tobacco saliva from his trap. He's more than a candidate—he's a member. Beep! Beep! Watts!!! It is stated that each and every one who attended the old fashion basket picnic at Eureka Villa last Saturday afternoon had a blooming time. They tell me the jovial pinchers, later on in the evening, even did the old fashion basket dance to the tune "Yes we have no potato cakes—Jane." What tha ! ! ! ! ! This week's prize which is a set of left handed false teeth, goes to Mr. Oven l.

Auto Loads of Pedestrians, Sandwiches, Lemonade and Potato Salad! ! ! Everybody under the sun, that could attend the annual Sunday School Picnic which was held at Brookside Park, Pasadena this past Thursday, was there. I'll have to tell you about this gala even in my next week's load. *Miss Helen Beck of Kansas City, Mo., is the house guest of her petite cousin, Miss Esther L. Beck of 975 So. Berendo. When interviewed by ye Sparks editor, Miss Helen Beck stated that so far she thinks Los Angeles is a beautiful city and also that she is a primary school teacher in Kansas City. I'm telling you boys, right now, that if you could just focus your lamps upon her just once, I'm thinking you would start going to school all over again; get promoted, but stay in her room all the time.

All who attended the Dodeca' Hot Dawd Bake hat Monday evening declared they had a real keen time. Even the moon got a great kick out of watching the crowd put away the Heats.

Dones is riding around in a hot Nash Six Sedan by himself at the present time, but he says it won't be long now! I was reading in the paper the other day where some charming New York maiden won a prize for eating 28 hot dogs in a record time of 12 minutes. I bet she barked plenty afterwards. They say one teaspoonful of caster oil trailed each dog. She must have been a great athlete. Eh? What? ! ! ! ! In London the autoists are using cowcatchers on the front of their auto-mobiles. Well, suppose they should accidently catch a calf, then what? Change catchers right quick, I guess. Huh? Mr. Bernard Jefferson says it wouldn't be a bad idea if each and every guest would wear a bumper when dancing at a crowded party or on a crowded floor. The Sparks Editor wishes to express sincere sympathy for himself and many sparks readers for the serious accident that happened last Saturday afternoon when the life of Mr Wesley Griffin, Jr. was taken and five other young men who accompanied him were seriously injured. The sexet of boys including A. W. Parish, Si Vennis, Moredy Williams, Frank Qualls and young Anderson, Jr., were all members of the Laddies Club. Frank Qualls was the most seriously injured out of the five and is now in the county hospital. All of us are wishing him a speedy recovery. Hope that not only these involved in the accident will be more cautious, but that all of us will be. Remember that little sign—BE CAREFUL! Goodbye folks, the old news container has run out.

EDITOR: We note in one of your issues of this month, that the colored chauffeurs are not organized, and that they are leaving out on that account, being replaced by the little brown man, the Phillipine. That may be true in some instances, but until the colored chauffeurs learn how to give services he will always be replaced by someone. In the first place when he brings his employer to his office or the madam to the show or on a shopping tour down in the city, he is instructed when to return for him or her—and then he is not there, but rather down on Central Ave., with some of his high browns in the car. This is the reason that our colored chauffeurs are losing out. When the boss steps out of the office to go home, the little brown man is there waiting. When the mistress steps out of the store or show, he is also there waiting—but the colored chauffeur is down on Central Ave waiting. Learn give service then you won't lose out. I am in favor that you be organized but remember that service comes first. M.J.W. THOMPSON. J. W. THUMPSON, First Seventant United States' Army, retired UNUSUAL BUT TRUE (By A. N. P) Los Angeles—In applying for a divorce, Mrs. Jessie Kenneth Schloss handed the Judge a note found tacked to the garage door. It read: "You can have the car, the garage, the house and everything around here. Keep them or sell them; I am not coming back." She was granted a divorce. Los Angeles—For courting purposes, Jesse E. Sandall sported a large automobile. But after he was married, his wife found out that the big automobile was just one he had borrowed. Mrs. Sandall was given a divorce.

DuMille Producer Praises Pickens' Book [By A. N. P.] New York, Aug. 22—Work is going ahead. "Bargy," the poopie to be based on the novel of that involving Negro life in Charleston, S.C., according to word sent to William Pickens, contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, by Bertram Millhauser, director of DeMille productions. Millhauser writes; "We are going ahead with "Porgy." I have Miss Olga Printzlau making my first rough adaptation. We hope to be shooting in September or October—although I have so many things to do between new and then that I can't honestly get an actual starting date. I hope Paul Robeson is interested in the character Crown. He'd make a splendid CROWN and Gilpin a great PORGY. Millhauser is the man who described Pickens' "Bursting Bonds" as "the sort of hard, stark writing that can only be done when a man has something to say—and he creates his own style. Pickens' latest book is "American Aesop," a collection of jokes. (Bv A. N. Y.) Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 24.—In order to cheat the electric chair, Thomas Stribling, 56, condemned to die for the alleged murder of a man last year, went on a 65-day hunger strike which ended in his death at the penitentiary Wednesday afternoon. Stribbling had told jail officials that he would never die in the chair, and had deceived guards who brought him food by throwing it in a sewer. Two weeks ago, he became so ill that he was taken to the prison infirmary. There he confessed his fasting, but it was too late for him to be saved. The warden of the prison declared that Stribbling's is the first instance of a prisoner who refused to eat his food. LeBLANC'S BOYS BAND HOME AGAIN Oh boys; well, all we can say is that we certainly had a fine time, and we wish to express our appreciation to the people of Los Angeles for their hearty co-operation in attending our concerts, etc., in order that we may raise-money for our trip. Although the public's co-operation was nothing near a 100 per cent this time, but we expect it to be much better next time. The band shall immediately begin preparing for a much better trip for next summer. We shall do our best to induce the public to co-operate with us in order to make our plan a success. Owing to the fact that we had a day's engagement before us, our trip had to be shortened in order to face the Los Angeles public with full force and plenty of pep. (By N. A. P.) Los Angeles, Cal.

Mr. Alexander was asked by a white Klanman friend to attend a meeting of the klan as his guest. It was held out in the open in the hills, and was attended by hundreds of the headed knights. During the course of the meeting, Alexander was asked to speak. He mounted the rostrum and lashed forth in a vindictive tirade denouncing the klan as an American and cowardly.

By: WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) On the night of August 5th, we went to look in on "The Fifth Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World" in Liberty Hall, on 138th street, New York City. And we went on the invitation of the officers of the Convention, who also urged us to address the assembly. It had been about four years since we had been in Liberty Hall, and at that time we had been forbidden even to take notes in the place. When we had taken out our pencil and notebook and begun to take down some of the truly remarkable logic being hurled down from the platform by Garvey and others, half a dozen soldiers of the "African Legion" had rushed to our seat in battle formation and shouted: "You are not allowed to write in this hall!" It was the first time we had ever been forbidden to take notes at a public lecture. It is noticeable that in the present convention there is no autocracy and no bullying control from the platform—and consequently there is more honest expression from the floor. We observed that some of the more active thinkers who quit in disgust years ago, were now back among the delegates. There were men like Lovett Fort-Whiteman, of the Negro Labor Congress, and local intellectuals like Edgar Gray, Richard B. Moore and Wm H. Ferris. The majority of the delegates, it seems, represent the more active minds among the laboring class of Negroes. The subject for the evening was the industrial and economic advancement of the Negro race, and all were discussing the organization of Negro labor. Will you believe it? I spent one whole evening in Liberty Hall and never heard one bit of it, and the next day I discussed the most fundamental thing in all race problems—LABOR—and they were stalking to their subject. If the U. N. I. A. will influence the organization of Negro Labor, they will seize their biggest opportunity. Not only is labor the best cement of the common, people, but the U. N. I. A. has among its membership a bigger percentage of Negro laborers than has any other organization. The present organization is evidently much fewer in numbers than was the Garvey organization, and its parades are much shorter, but its influence may be much longer if it will promote a practical program of this world. AT THE BIG GOSPEL TENT Sunday night, August 29th, Bengalista P. D. Riggs will answer the first question "Are the Ten Commandments out of Date?" Mr. Rodgers finds it necessary to preach on this subject because of the growing tendency to include the Moral Law in the code of laws that the Jews of old felt were essential to their righteousness.

Chicago will entertain them February 10, 11, 12, 1927. Benjamin Jefferson was elected President. The Constitution as amended so as to admit Periodicals, Newspapers, and Magazines, these to be represented at the Association by properly-accredited messengers from the various publications. An "Address to the Country" was delivered, full of pep, making certain specific requests of the American people, setting forth grievances that were not shadows, and at the same time, complimenting the American people for certain adjustments of wrings that had hitherto existed. Two women were added to the official family. Many social courtesies were shown by the Philadelphia people. The Sesquil-Centennial officers were hosts to the quill-pushers during their session. Philadelphia gave one reception and one public meeting. The dean or nester of journalism was a conspicuous figure throughout the week. Twenty-one accomplishments presented by the secretary of the Association as the work of the organization, were plainly set forth and clearly demonstrated.

A large number have cold in their throats, tonsilitis, pharyngitis and other local affections with others the lungs are affected and heavy deep chest colds develop. Still others are attacked in the covering of the lungs, thus causing a severe pleurisy. Many of these deep seated colds are leaving permanent sequelary which are serious. HOW TO PREVENT COLDS The prevention of colds is much easier than their cure. Many and many a case of tuberculosis has started from one severe cold. For this reason it behooves us to consider carefully the prevention of every respiratory and tonsilular disease. A few rules carefully adhered to will increase the body's resistance and greatly decrease the probability of taking colds. 1. You perspire more freely in the summer. Dried perspiration clogs the pores and decreases your elimination. Very frequent bathing is necessary to prevent this condition. At least one bath a day for the whole body is necessary in hot weather in order to keep the eliminating properties of the skin in 100% condition. 2. The bowels must move every day freely. This should be regulated by diet. If you do not have natural movements go to a reliable doctor and find out why you suffer from constipation. Just this may save your life for it is hard to contract any disease when the bowels move freely, thus carrying off poison. 3. The kidneys must be flushed well. Poisons store up in the liver, kidneys, spleen and bladder are reabsorbed and poison the body. This can be prevented by drinking copiously of water or fruit juices between meals. Water is cheap and drinking it freely saves many doctor's bills. 4. What we eat makes us, weaker or stronger. More susceptible to colds or less so. No one should eat heavy foods in hot weather. One pork dinner may be your ruination. If you value your life during this hot weather stay absolutely away from all parts of the hog. 5. In-door life breeds colds. Get out-doors as much as possible. Leave off night life. Live out-doors. "JYES' TELL 'EM WE'S RISIN" By: WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) About two generations ago a little bright-eyed black boy, named R. R. Wright, was a student in the early grades of Atlanta University. A northern white visitor who was speaking to the school audience asked what message he should carry back to the friends in te north who were support- little black child, with the smile on his face which has been characteristic of him for 50 years since, held up his hand and sioued out of his soul: 'Jes! tell 'em we's risin'!' That was a true word and a prophecy. This human being has been rising ever since, and his race has risen with him. He became a teacher, a leader of his people and of his state, president of the Georgia State College for Negroes, and after doing all that any black man would be permitted to do in Georgia, he had sense and grit enough to move away to Philadelphia, Pa., where the improvement over Georgia civilization would permit him to do a bit more. Today he is founder, and president of the Citizens and Southern Banks and Trust Company at South Streets, and his institution is designated as a City Depository. This is the kind of black man who will ultimately confound any effort to keep people in an inferior status. He has even raised a family to good repute and good works, one of whom, R. R. Wright, Jr., is his strongest business partner and is nationally known as a scholar, an editor and a church leader. This would be a noteworthy achievement for any white man in America who started out poor and of a poor family. For a black man, handicapped by persistent opposition, it is a marvelous achievement. It takes more brains and character to be a successful black man than to be a successful white man in a country with a color line dominated by whites. If Wright could achieve this by breaking open closed dors, what might he not have achieved if all dors had been open to him? Suppose that every political office in Georgia, up through the Governorship, had been open to him—suppose every business position in Atlanta and every corporation office on Skip Hop. It would impartly subject to his attainment as that of the white boys who were born in the year when he was born—with the same energy and character and courage and sweet, where would Wright be today? With his white hair, his evidently sound constitution, his enthusiasm and his bright mind. R. R. Wright, Sr. comes to us to help us achieve to the (By A. N. P.) Jackson, Mia, Aug. 24.—The local body of the Ku Klux Klan, one of the largest in the state, has surrendered its charter. Many reasons are given for the disbandment, but the paramount one, given out by those on the inside, is that a good brother who has acted as treasurer for several terms "went south" with four thousand dollars of the treasury. TO GIVE AWAY 100 ACRES (By A. N. P.) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 23—Geo. W. Bright, a retired city fireman, and one of the oldest colored firemen of the department, has been in possession of one hundred acres of land for some time which he obtained some years ago as government land. He is to give it all away shortly in one-acre tracts to ex-soldiers. (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Aug. 24—Homes of Negroes in the Maxwell Street District on the West side of Chicago were the objects of attacks by white residents Wednesday night. Police say that the whites were angered when Negroes encroached beyond a line which the whites had agreed among themselves was far enough for the colored citizens to go. An automobile belonging to a colored man, Robert Woodman, was destroyed, and flaming rag-wrapped bricks were thrown through the windows of the home of George Williams, a blind veteran of the World War. One girl was seriously hurt. Firemen extinguished the flames and police retested order, guards being placed around several houses occupied by Negroes. The Maxwell Street district is often referred to as "The Ghetto." It is very thickly populated with Jewish tradesmen, and poor foreigners. It is a great market center. In the last few years many Negroes have moved into the district, most of the incoming from the south. It was there that William Bell was lynched three years ago. (By A. N. P.) Chicago, Aug. 25—Frank Keenan, White, a "Bacterian star," starred in the play "Black Velvet," has turned up the postal authorities, a letter threatening him with death if he does not leave town immediately and close up his play. Inclosed in the letter to Keenan was a clipping, praising the actor's work in "Black Velvet," but condemning the play. The letter pur- ported to express the view of "28,500 Negroes" and warned Keenan that he would be detectives on sight. He has hired several detectives to guard him. Last week the Chicago Defender and the Chicago Whip both directed attacks against the play "Black Velvet," holding that it was an insult to the Negro race worse than the "Birth of a Nation." The attack of the Whip was especially spirited, but gave due credit to Keenan's work as an actor. MRS. A. A. YANCY RETURNS Mrs. Alice Yancy, widow of the late Arthur Yancy, has just returned from a five weeks' trip taking in the cities of Oakland, thence to Seattle, where she attended the mortgage burning in the courthouse, lasted by Dr. W. D. Carter, now of Friendship Baptist Church, Lassiter. After leaving Seattle she visited Vancouver and Tacoma, Washington, taking a side trip to the Shasta Springs where she partook of the cool and refreshing spring water. She greedy enjoyed many beautiful sights long to be emancored. Since the death of her husband she has been greatly depressed which necessitated a change and for that reason she took a five weeks vacation, returning feeling much revived and elated over her extended visit.

Governor Richardson has made good his campaign pledges of economy and efficiency. He has supported Civil Service, appointed the highest type of judges, retained only competent employees, without regard to politics. Administration of corrective and humanitarian institutions has been improved, and corrupt campaign practices have been abolished. 2 Law and Order Shall we continue a regime of law governed by sob-sisters, sentiment Governor Richardson has increase the constitution. He issues no pat teries. Educational expenditure Shall we continue a regime of law and order in California, punishing adequately all guilty or be governed by sob-sisters, sentimentalists, Reds, enemiss of Americanism, gunmen and bootleggers? Governor Richardson has increased respect of California by enforcement of law and support of the constitution. He issues no pardons on account of popular clamor. He enforces convicts' sentences. Educational expenditures have increased 58.3 per cent during his administration. 3 An Administration not controlled by Big Bosses and Big Interests Shall we continue an administration by a Governor possessing backbone, courage and decision or or shall we surrender our state government to the control of the political bosses of the two big California cities and the boss representing the disgruntled professional job holders thrown out of office for incompetency by Governor Richardson. Fearless, unswerving in duty, and independent, Governuor Richardson stands for every possible aid to farmers, good roads, justice to war heroes, and a fair deal for labor. He opposes official favors to gain political support and has eliminated the political bosses-Tom Finn, Kent Parrot and Al McCabe-from control of the state government.

RDMONDS (Municipal Court Judge) RE-ELECT Shortridge UNITED STATES Senator "It has been said that American citizenship is a BADGE OF HONOR. It is my hope and desire that it shall be a SHIELD OF PROTECTION to the citizens of every race and color."---Senator Shortridge in presenting the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to the Senate. The Hon. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, National Executive Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., under date of March 10, 1926, wrote as follows: "Senator Shortridge did all he could when the (Dyer Anti-Lynching) Bill was up in the Senate. However, he did not get the support that he was entitled to." Hon. Walter L. Cohen, Controller of Customs at the Port of New Orleans, La., whose appointment was contested by Southern Senators for more than a year, says: "Senator Shortridge's earnest support of me for confirmation as Controller of Customs at New Orleans, in the face of the opposition of the two Senators from my State who resorted to the long established custom of the United States Senate to recognize the "Personal Objection" of a Senator, has placed me under much obligation to him. His record on the Anti-Lynching Bill should cause every member of our Race to give him their support." Prof. Kelly Miller-ex-Dean of Howard Univer sity, the man on the watchtower, always observing the attitude and conduct of the legislators who meet at the National Capitol, and scrutinizing every race measure coming under their consideration, writes: "I have been especially interested in his (Shortridge's) attitude on human rights as they relate to the Colored Race, and have found that he stands firm where many of our be lieved friends are inclined to deviate and to Dodge. The management of the Dyer Bill in the Senate was well placed upon the willing shoulders of Senator Short ridge, while the Republican Veterans shirked the responsibility. It is well known here that the party leaders were playing a cheap game of politics with a great moral measure. But not so with Senator Shortridge. He fought for the success of the measure with all of the honesty and ardor of his nature, while other Republic ans contrived with the Democrats to encompass its defeat." Attorney E. Burton Ceruti-Of Los Angeles, ardent advocate of human rights, says: "With the possible exception of California, Senator Shortridge is recognized in every State of the Union as our authorized spokesman in the Senate, and the outstanding champion of Negro rights at the Capitol." M. Dr. John Willis Baer, former president of Occidental College issued a formal appeal this week to all Republicans in the Ninth Congressional District, urging that they unite on Harold B. Landreth of Pasadena for representative in Congress. "Landreth is a straightforward Republican who will support the Administration," Dr. Baer declared. "Because he is a Republican he is an advocate of an adequate protective tariff on all California products. He has been an advocate of the idea of the Colorado river since the first time the project is presented to a state Legislon when Lanier a member of the resolutions committee that urged the project. "He is unequivocal for the upholding of the 18th Amendment and Volstead Act. He has a personal as well as general interest in mountain development, fire prevention and flood control. Landreth is the only man in the Ninth District race who has the courage, the friend-making qualities, the ability, and the backing to unite all shades of opinion within the party, and put an end to bickering and controversy. Landreth is the only Republican in the race to our best the Democrat, Charles H. Randall, in the final election." Chairman of the Judiciary Campaign Committee.

Barbour, Dr. Jno Willis Baer, Dr. Walter F Dexter, Dr. Remsen D Bird, and many others. Reports from every section of California indicate that Judge Jesse W. Curtis, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of California and candidate to succeed himself at the primaries will receive the largest poll of Negro votes than any of the other candidates running for the Supreme Court Bench. This indication was made public today by H. E. Mutzchler, secretary of the Curtis Campaign Committee after tabulations of the colored voters had been submitted by estimators. Although there was no official stamps on this estimation the hearty letters and other forms of endorsements being received daily at the Curtis Headquarters from prominent Negroes throughout California point to a sweeping majority in his favor. Judge Curtis is well known to the California colored people in general and to the Southland Negroes in particular. His high integrity and unbiased decisions on the bench have made him a favorite with the Negroes in every section of California. Only recently a large and enthusiastic demonstration was given in behalf of the Justice when he visited the Southland for the first time since taking the cath of office recently. Many of the most prominent clergymen, lawyers, doctors and other professional Negroes in the Southland have announced their intentions of supporting Justice Curtis at the primaries the 31st inst. PRATT OPPOSES THE BUILDING OF SAN GABRIEL DAM "I am opposed to the construction of San Gabriel Dam, because the City of Los Angeles is receiving no direct benefit, will pay 70 per cent of the $35,000,000 cost of construction. I feel that the entire Flood Control Program of Los Angeles County should be reviewed at once by competent outside engineers, and that, the County should aid in the construction of those major storm drain projects within the City, that handle County flood control water." This is the statement of Alvaro Pratt, candidate for Supervisor from the Third District. "I feel," he continued, "that if the City of Los Angeles is to spend any such high sum as this Flood Control Dam would involve, that the money would be far better applied to the construction of streets and the maintenance of existing traffic throughfares to relieve the terrible conflagration that is holding up the growth and affecting the prosperity of the City of Los Angeles."

The Westlake Republican League, the United Veterans, and the Municipal League and Civic League are a few of the other organizations who have added their stamp of approval to one of California's ablest jurists. Byron Westover, who is graduate of the Michigan University, Law Department, and former member of the U. S. C. College of Law faculty, received the highest grade in the Civil Service examination for County Council under the new County Charter. In 1515 he was made trial deputy City Attorney and advisory to the Board of Education, Police, Fire and other agencies. He has been doing judicial work, conducting hearings and writing decisions for the Railroad Commission in Public Utility matters all over the State. In February of this year, he was appointed by the Governor as Municipal Judge, after receiving the highest average on the questionnaire sent by the Chief Executive to a selected list of attorneys. Judge Westover's campaign committee consists of over 300 prominent citizens under the leadership of Mrs. George Veach Wright, Executive Secretary.

Lewis Whose record in the Legislature shows him to stand for the Wage Earner, the home owner, rights of women and ALL the people, not a FEW greedy exploiters. Senator Lewis believes that GOOD WAGES make a prosperous nation. He has always been for the high Boulder Dam, All-American Canal at Metropolitan water and power hill. He returns you to such well-known citizens as Dr. Gen. Taylor, Dr. Sonoma Bill, C. C. Blint, Win Boone, A. J. Haynes. Senator Lewis was born and raised a REPUBLICAN, but is NOT a YES MAN, and takes no orders from another source. Judge Walton J. Wod was the first poor man's lawyer. In 1914, he established the office of Public Defender in Los Angeles, the first in the United States. His duties were to protect the poor and defenseless, and so well did I serve in this capacity that the people elected him Judge of the Superior Court. The work of Judge Woods on the Superior Court Bench has always shown a great carefulness on his part in protecting the rights of the weak, against the strong. Many colored people have litigated cases in his Court, and have always had decisions based upon their merits, and for this reason, he is highly recommended to the voters for the August Primary.

It has been so from the fact that for the major offices to be chosen that the contenders have not even had what is known as an organized effort behind them. To select a candidate in the primary is personal to the candidate or in other words, it is a contest between factions. In this contest the factions have failed to perform as of yore. They have fallen short on even getting out propaganda to state their case. This paper, as a rule, opens its columns for the various candidates or factions to state their case to just whatever extent they desire measured by inches in advertising space. But in so far as the major offices are concerned there has not been any great demand for inches. Therefore being not in a position to donate ourselves no matter how much we would desire to do so, we had at no time an opportunity to call a tune. If we called a tune we certainly would have had to pay the fiddler for doing so. Therefore the columns of this paper have been wide open to all to state their case without running into counter editorials. In the gubernatorial contest, personally, we have well defied ideas and pronounced opinion and regret very much the fact that for a newspaper man, the exigencies of the situation forbade our active participation via are newspaper route. Men and measures, however, should at all times receive the serious thought and consideration of the people and summing up the accomplishments and what the various nominees stand for. It is easy indeed to make up the mind as to the candidate of your choice. This is the voting that makes good governments worth while, when citizens study men and measures for themselves and likewise form their choice without waiting to be told how to vote or following blindly the dictation of others.

JUDGE ALBERT LEE STEPHENS Urging an eleventh hour whirlwind county wide campaign for the re-election of Presiding Judge Albert Lee Stephens at the August primaries, the Stephens-Ror-Judge campaign committee has sent a call throughout the County to all Judge Stephens' friends.

Bent, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, in a statement issued yesterday, drew attention to the rapid rate at which this city's water and power requirements are increasing, and strongly urged that the people authorise the proposed water and power bonds at the August 31st primary election as the only means of developing additional water and power resources and facilities now needed by industries and homes in this area. Mr. Bent pointed out that both the Water Bureau and the Power Bureau are self-sustaining municipal utilities and will meet all interest and principal charges on the bonds from their own earnings, without any cost whatever to the taxpayers. "Both the $10,000,00 water bond issue and the $11,000,00 power bond issue have been approved and endorsed by the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce," stated Mr. Bent. "This endorsement was given after a careful and detailed study of the needs of the City with regard to additional water and power supplies and facilities. "Investment of bond money, from time to time, to help finance additional water and power supplies as required by the people of Los Angeles is essential to the progress and prosperity of our city. Such investments of bond money are an orderly and businesslike procedure in expanding the City's water and power systems, and developing additional supplies of these necessities, as required. "The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, in endorsing the bond issues, feels, and I personally am convinced, that these bonds are necessary at this time; and the work thus to be financed should be carried forward without delay." "Our City is in the business of supplying its citizens with water, power and light. If Los Angeles' increasing water, power and light requirements are to be met, and this city's continued expansion and prosperity thus supply water and power for the development of this vital resources through the issuance of bonds. "Our Water Bureau and our Power Bureau are both self-supporting utilities. Therefore, it will cost the taxpayers nothing to approve the proposed water and power bonds. All charges on these bonds, as provided in our new City Charter, are paid from earnings of the Water and Power Bureau, and not from taxes." Mr. Bent is a member of Bent Brothers, Inc., a construction firm which recently completed the building of the Exchequer Dam on the Merced River in California. This dam, one of the largest water storage structures ever built in this state, has created a reservoir capable of storing 280,000 acre feet of water for the Merced Irrigation project. Judge Stephens was elected at the primaries the last time he was candidate, scoring a three thousand majority over his nearest opponent. He has qualified his friends point out, by serving in every department of the Superior Court and his record has brought him recognition as one of the leading jurists of the state. William T. Craig and Ida May Adams, two of the leading attorneys of Los Angeles are chairmen of his general campaign committee and his women's campaign committee, rectively. Raymond A. Nelson, campaign manager, declares that the entity will be fudge Stephens is county wide and that if all of the jurist's friends will go to the polls on election day, his re-election at the primaries is assured. Among the endorsements received by Judge Stephens are: Bar Association; Blackstone Club; California Jewish Voice; Central Labor Council; City Attorneys' Association; Civic Endeavor Association; Colored Non-Partisan League; Figueroa Business Men's Association; Hoover Street Business Men's Association; Jugoslav Central League; Lorena Heights Club; Los Angeles County Council United Veterans of the Republic; Public Welfare League; Southwest Improvement Association; State Building' Trade Council; The Civic Federation of Los Angeles County; Twelfth District Civic League and by many political organizations.

The statement that Dr. Hudson dorse the Governor's candidacy after made, viz., that Mrs. Bethune praised the Governor for what he SHOULD HAVE DONE is not alone an INSULT to this leader of the Women's Federated Clubs of America, who in her absence from our community is without an opportunity to defend herself or reiterate the statements that she made on that occasion, but is also an insult to the intelligence of the leaders of the Women's Clubs of California and to those present on that occasion. There is no doubt but that the actions of Dr. Hudson will have a tendency to cement and unite the women, not alone of Los Angeles, but of the whole State, in carrying out the advice, and counsel given them by our most capable leader in America today.

McKINLEY His Candidacy For State Senate Of The te Senator MODERN EQUIPMENT, SYMPATHETIC AND ECONOMIC SERVICE TO ALL. SPORT STATICS HOT OUT OF THE AIR --- N E X T I O N L I G T-W E I G T CHAMPION OF T H E WORLD BABY GANS, BEATS CALLAHAN IN THRILLING BATTLE Packed from gt to dome and with hundreds standing, Doyle's Vernon Arena, scene of historic battles fought by the "Old Master", saw his name sake, Baby Joe Gans, uphold the famous name. Two colorful gladiators, both hard hitters, both game and fast, there was never a better picked match than Mushy Callahan and Baby Joe Gans. But Callahan must have been overestimated for Gans out-fought, outgeneraled, and out-punched him to a well earned decision. Gans was first to enter the ring as thousands of fans white and colored cheered wildly. They were introduced, the gong clanged and the fight began. And boy! boy! what a scrap. Gans led landing two straight lefts and pushing the fight. After less than half a minute rapid mixing, Callahan shot a hard right to Gans' jaw. The blow whipper Gans across the ring and into the ropes. Groggy and badly shaken. Callahan tried his best to finish him but using his head, Gans save him he could be clinching and cover him he could get his bearings, and partly recover. In the second he was more careful and Callahan more confident, carrying the fight to Gans, but Gans had recovered and held him even. In the third Mushy landed three hard lefts to Gans' wind but the game little fighter took them all and more than out pointed him the round through. In the fourth Gans came out like a whirl wind chasing Mushy all over the ring knocking him half through the ropes and staggering, Gans hitting him with rights and lefts at will. From then on Gans piled up his big lead till the referee raised his hand in the tenth, while the thousands of fans white and colored yelled, screamed and went wild long afterward. Central Avenue was crowder with well wishers late in the night and an impromptu dinner and reception was held when Gans ate his supper at the Entertainers' Cafe. Matchmaker "Wad" Wadhams will undoubtedly sign the battlers for a retaliation match. It is a cinnamon the house will be packed again. It was a whale of a scrap and there is no reason why the rematch shouldn't be even more exciting. Young McGovern thumped Manuel Frayo in the special event, Joe Schlocker, punching hard and boxing beautifully, copped the semi-wind-up from Freddie Mack. Joe Burns beat Al Neff and Tommy Palacio was defeated by Chappy Cruz. GIVES $100,000.00 TO Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Mr. and Mrs. George B. Matthews of this city have just endowed the local branch (colored) of the Young Men's Christian Association with a fund of $100,000, the income from which, about $6,000 a year, is to be used in work among the colored population. The gift is said to have been made on the condition that the association enlarge its building plans in anticipation of a 100 per cent increase in the colored population of this city. A year ago, Mr. Matthews gave $25,000 to the building fund. The donor is president of the Niagara Milling Co., Buffalo was one of the principal cities to increase its population as a result of the Negro exodus from the south, the workers being attracted to the industries here. For a long time very little of a social service nature was done for them. By: WILLIAM PICKENS (Far the Associated Negro Press) Dempsey was Champon Boxer, then Champion Dodger, and now, according to Harry Wills, he has become the CHAMPION LIAR. Through all this rotten lying and dodging, on the part of the boxer and some members of the boxing commission, Wills has kept dignifiedly silent. But there comes a time when silence is a weakness, not a virtue. It is time for all of us to speak plain language. Here goes: if Wills were Champion and Dempsey challenger, and the black champion had dodged the white challenger as much as Dempsey had dodged Wills, the Negro would have been uncrowned, not only by the New York Commission, but also by every other boxing authority in the New York Commission. By: HARRY LEVETTE sion, but also by every other boxing authority in the Union, and there would not be a place left where he could box for an orphan's milk fund. Any such dodging black champion would have been called "yellow" in so many different dialects that he would stand as a disgrace to his entire race. Harry Wills was not talking rashly when he questioned Dempsey's veracity. For example, Dempsey had the brazen face to say that for five years he has been trying to get Harry into the ring. We must at least complaint Dempsey's veracity, and certainly takes nerve to say publicly, boldly, and in big print something that everybody knows is untrue. Wills has been the one chasing Dempsey, since the memory of the fun runneth not to the contrary. A few questions will make that clear? Has the boxing commission ever had to threaten Wills to try to make him contract with Dempsey? Has the commission ever had to order Wills to set a date for a bout with Dempsey? Has Wills ever forfeited $50,000 just to keep from meeting Dempsey? Has any promoter ever had to get an injunction against Wills to try to make him live up to contract to box Dempsey? Has Wills ever pretended, as Dempsey has pretended, that the lack of financial inducement stood in the way? Wills has been willing to leave all the money to Dempsey, if only Jack would fight. If money were the consideration to Harry, believe us, he could get more money by agreeing to "lie down" to Dempsey, or to sell out in some way, man he could ever get by licking Dempsey. WOULD MATCH JOHNSON, CARPENTIER WOULD MATCH JOHNSON, CARPENTIER (By A. N. P.) Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 25—Promoter Dick Donald, impresario of bimetime mouted bouts at Ascot Park, has been wiring daily to Jack Johnson in order to match him against Georges Carpentier at Wrigley Field here next month. The two have never met though there were several attempts to bring them together in England some years ago when Jack was at the height of his career. The bout would probably draw the biggest crowd ever attending a fight in late years here. Mrs. A. M. Brown, president of the State of Alabama Federated Women's Club and wife of Alabama's most prominent srgeon, with Mrs. R. Nealey, also prominent in club work, Mrs. Nellie Green teacher and president of Oklahoma State with her newly wedded daughter-in-law, wife of Dr. J. H. Green, and also a teacher of Washington, D. C., were guests of Mrs. Paul A. Brothers on a sightseeing trip while in the city. They were house guests of Officer and Mrs. Homer Garrott. Mr. and Mrs. Walter D. Brothers, accompanied by their brother, Mr. Paul Brothers, left last Sunday for an extensive motor trip, planning stops and lengthy sojourn at Victoria, British Columbia. Monarchs And Giants Deadlocked For Lead- ership On Foster Loop AMERICAN GIANTS LEAD- ING LEAGUE BY SCANT MARGIN—MONARCHS HANGING ON AND THREATENING TO DISPLACE THE FOSTERITES (For The Associated Negro Press) Chicago Ill. Aug. 18—The American Giants managed to hang onto the lead in the Foster lop the past week, but it was by work of the hardest kind. The Chicago pets journeyed to the lair of the Indianapolis A. B. C. and engaged the Bingotes in a five game series. They managed to win the first four games and then j nite rush t catch a train, dropped the fifth and final tilt, 5-3. By losing this last game the Giants shipped back just 40 points towards second place. Kansas City is close on the heels of the leaders with a percentage at this time of .395 while the local have a percentage at the close of the week of .917. The Giants have been depending on the other clubs to take a few games from Raw Valley champions, but to date there doesn't seem to be any much animal as a game being taken from the Monarchs—excepting the Cubs who always get away with the game. 1.

The Alverado Tennis Club, just two months old and whose members live in the Temple and Alverado streets neighborhood have already located a splendid tennis court site at 234 North Westlake Ave., and will soon get busy constructing a modern tennis court that 'all local club members will be invited to play on as soon as the new club becomes a member of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs. On Friday, September 17th charter members Mack Murphy, Paul Smith and Alvin Scott will entertain the "North Westerners" with an elaborate house party to which their many friends will be invited. Q. What is the correct size of a tennis court?—Miss C. B. G. A. A doubles court is 36 by 78 feet, the net posts should be 42 feet apart, the enclosure should be at least 50 feet for 100 feet long, and 60 by 100 feet for a standard championship court enclosure Q. How far did Ballinger Kemp go in the First Annual Los Angeles County Championships Tournament last Thanksgiving Day at Pasadena? Are there any names of players mentioned in the 1925 rankings who did not play in 1925? Why is David Sanes ranked 2nd and Philip Davis 5th, etc?—R. W. G. A Kemp played Eddie Myers two sets, winning the first 6-4 and defaulted the match in the second 6-6 because of pressing business in the city. All players mentioned played last year. Using champion Jimmy Stocks as guide, he is the only player who went through the two tournaments last year; Sands beat Stocks 7-5 in the first set and lost 6-2, 6-3, which is more than any other of Stocks opponents have done since he began playing.

Grac believes that the Sacramento offer, coupled with the one made by William Wrigley, of $10,000 to swim the Catalina channel, may bring Miss Ederle to California. Fight Ticket Sale Passes Half Million Mark, Says Rickard New York, Aug. 23.—Estimating his advance sale of tickets at $500-000, Tex Rickard prepared to move his headquarters for the Dempsey-Tunney match to Philadelphia today. Virtually his entire staff of assistants at Madison Square Garden will accompany him and will remain on the scene until after the heavyweight championship bout is held in the Sesqui-Centennial stadium on the night of Sept. 23. BAR GEORGES FROM CAL RING Sacramento, Aug. 23.—Six boxers, including Georges Carpentier, and two managers were suspended by the state athletic commission today for violations of the fight code. Art Braathan of Los Angeles and C. E. Watson of San Diego, the two were banned indefinitely for misconduct.

New York, Aug. 23—Will Vodery, noted orchestra leader and arranger of music, was shot in the arm early Wednesday morning when two foot-pads trailed him to the door of his apartment and sought to rob him of a $3,000 ring he wore. The bandits were unable to take the ring from his finger, but robbed him of $16 which he carried in his pocket. Vodery was not seriously hurt. Brown Winner in Slow Bout Young Brown took the referee's decision from Sailor Ashmore in the six-round windup at the Main Street Athletic Club, Saturday night. Brown and Ashmore furnished the fans with one of the slowest fights ever seen at the Main Street club. It was a clinching affair from the first gong to the last. Don Chebarria defeated Chuck Nash in the four-round semi-windup in the best fight of the evening. Phil Harris and Mike Flores went four ounces to a draw. Louis Palacio defeated one of the four rounds from Joe Mandeok. Tommy Palacio defeated the veteran Pee Wee Nolan. Richie Agnayo knocked out Tony Flores in one round. Red Lewman put away Tracey Porterfield in the first round of the curtain raiser. Main Street Advertises Three Star Ring Bouts Three star bouts top the Main St Athletic Club card next. Saturday night. Angel de la Cruz and Benny Diaz meet in the six-round windup. Joel Lopez and Young Freeman Black newsweek cover four Oakland, meet the semi-windup and Tony Herrers and Al Lovell are paired for the special event. De La Cruz is a great card at the Main Street by virtue of his easy knockout over Joe Rickey, the boy who beat Frankie Grandetta in 10 rounds. Diaz made a very creditable showing against Young Magdalino in a preliminary that stole the show at the Olympic last week. TENNIS NOTES FROM KAN- SAS CITY, MO.
