VOLUME 40 South Carolina Roused As Grand Jury Gets Evidence on Aiken Lynchings NEW GOVERNOR JOHN G RICHARDS, PRESIDING JUDGE JOHNSON, AND NEWSPAPERS DEMAND INDICTMENTS New York, Jan. 28.—The entire State of South Carolina is aroused over the Aiken lynchings now that the Aiken County Grand Jury has met and is hearing the testimony of twenty-eight witnesses, according to reports received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. The outstanding developments in the situation are as follows: 1. Governor John G. Richards on January 24 issued a statement saying that the case was "one of the most important matters inherited by my administration" and that he was "deeply concerned in the outcome of the State's efforts to bring to justice those who participated in the murder of the Lowmans." 2. The leading newspapers of South Carolina are making strong editorial demands for action by the Grand Jury. The Columbia Record, edited by Charlton Wright, in a front-page editorial unmercifully condemns the previous Grand Jury which failed to act and says that the present case "is the most important case, in all probability, that any Grand Jury in South Carolina has had to consider within the past twenty years. Upon its actions and decisions in that case depends the honor, not alone of Aiken County, but of the whole people of South Carolina." 3. A charge to the Grand Jury by Judge J. Henry Johnson, calls the lynchman "deliberate, wilful, cowardly murder," and continues: "The time for words is past. It is time for action. Say you propose to bring them to justice or say you don't propose to do anything. And God help. Aiken County and South Carolina if you fail to do something." 4. Governor Richards has reappointed Detective W. W. Rogers who had been in charge of the lynching investigation under the preceding administration. 5. A front-page new story in the Charleston News and Courier explicitly credit Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. with bringing about the expose of the lynching, as follows: "Walter White (after the Coroner's jury had failed to indict) then appeared on the scene as an investigator for the Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race (meaning N. A. A. C. P.) and with a commission from a New York newspaper. After a day or two in Aiken County he compiled a report that fed the newspaper to send one of its staff men to investigate the circumstances. White's report, it became known, gave a long list of alleged participants and spectators at the lynching." On January 26, the first day the Grand Jury heard testimony; nine witnesses were called, including eight who were prisoners in the Aiken jail at the time of the lynching when it is charged, the Sheriff and other officers delivered the Lowmans to the Wheaton more witnesses being called. State law it is not expected that they will have concluded their testimony today. The present investigation by the Grand Jury of Alken County is the third tipe the Grand Jury has met for this purpose. At each of the other two sessions, the Grand Jurors, of whom two were members of the lynching mob according to evidence gathered by Mr. White, reported inability to reach definite results and were discharged at their own request. The present Grand Jury, of 18 members, contains six hold-overs from the Grand Jury which previously admitted failure. A few public spirited white friends of the Negroes of Santa Monica Bay are instrumental in bringing Dr DuBois to the Bay Cities by agreeing to finance the entire cost of the lecture. This move on the part of these men and women is prompted partly by the desire to hear the man who is considered one of the brightest minds in America and to assist the officers and members of the First Baptist Church of Venice to raise funds for their much needed new church, building which they are to begin construction very shortly. The lecture is Tuesday, Feb. 22 Municipal Auditorium, Santa Monica Excellent talent will be added to the program for the occasion. Great Race Leader To Lecture in L. A. HON. DR. W. R. B. DuBOIS Author, Scholar and Orator Dr. DuBois will lecture at the Second Baptist hurch, 24th and Griffith Ave., Monday evening, February 21, 1927, 8 P. M. in the interest of Second Baptist Church, 24th and Griffith Episcopal Church Building Funds. Anchor of 75 voices will sing. Admission 50 cents. WOMAN BEATEN BY WHITES FINED $50 BY JUDGE (Br A N P) St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 4.—The brutal beating Mrs. Fontella Lee, 4811 St. Ferdinand Ave., received in Famous-Barr Department Store, here some weeks ago was not the end of her punishment, and while yet under the care of a physician, she was commanded to appear in police court Thursday on a peace disturbance charge and was fined fifty dollars and costs. She appeared without engagging a men to send her. After a recital of condemnation, statements made by a burly salesman of the store who said Mrs. Lee had bitten his finger, she took the stand and told a pathetic story of how barbarously she was treated by employees of the store where she had gone to purchase a pair of gloves. In approaching near a counter to exchange places with a white woman who had been served, Mrs. Lee, satisfied that the woman roughly pushed her out of her path, followed with a violent slap on the jaw. The insult was met with a blow from Mrs. Lee, she stated. In a few minutes, floorwalkers and house detectives seized her. When one of the mob yelled, "Kill the nigger," she asserted one of the house men struck her in the eye, causing her to become unconscious. She was dragged to the elevator and carried to a room on the upper floor where a chair was jerked from under her and she had to tolerate all manner of abuse. Before going to trial, Mrs. Lee's niece made efforts to interest the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in her aunt's case, but to not avail. It is understood the president of the organization was out of the city. SHRINERS CONTEST TEXAS DECISION (By A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Feb 2.—The protest against the decision of the Texas courts forbidding Negro Shriners from wearing the same emblems as whites in the State of Texas, got under way here Wednesday when attorneys for the Negro Shriners asked the Supreme Court to set aside the injunction issued by the Texas Court. The petition, seeking a view, was filed by the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which claims to have been organized in the State of New York in 1872. The injunction which was made by the State Court to apply throughout the United States and enjoined Negroes from organizing additional samples or lodges where such names, emblems, and insignia were used, followed proceeding instituted by D. W. Micheaux and a group of white men in Harris County, Texas. As The Tide Of Color Rises Washington, D. C., Feb. 3—Have you been reading the trend of human events carefully? Things are happening in this sin-cursed world worth your noting. The shadow lengthens as the tide of color rises! You must "Stop, Look, and Listen!" You must think on these things! Read what H. G. Wells, the great English writer, is saying about China, and keep your eyes on the daily prints; news coming from China is startling! Back of facts on China is Russia and the Soviet, Japan is maneuvering, India is grilling Africa is formenting, East West and South Mexico, Central, and South America are saying this and saying that, but "Language was made to conceal thought", and what those countries are thinking, is our chief concern. That, we are not getting. Colored America, do not jazz away your thoughts right along through here. Take a little time to learn what the whirl above you means. Danger is imminent. Were you in Washington, you would keenly realize the force of this statement. The President of the United States is in a serious frame of mind. He knits his brow as he talks with caution. Read his utterances on foreign conditions and trends. They are measured, careful; brim full of significance! United States Senators are shaking their heads; they are seeing things from their heights that will not reach your vision in the valley for yet a while. "There may be war with Mexico unless we arbitrate," said Senator Robinson. But he, and other senators know more than that! War with Mexico at this time will mean alliance with other nations stricken the United States, and one of them might be Japan! It is a well-known fact that France, England, and other European countries are inwardly bitter against America, because of this nation's independent financial position and jealous of the flaunting anties of the newly rich who agitate by their haughtiness. Behold the Chinese Of China! A great lesson comes out of China. For two decades and more, this nation of more than 450,000,000 has been fighting among themselves. They have two or more governments and armies, North and South. For hundreds of years China slept, though her civilization is one of the world's oldest. China's first awakening caused a change from Empire to Republic. The world's chief nations, grasping for wealth, went into China, and true to the white man's perennial instinct, gave little thought to the real welfare of China, and processed, in the might of their power, or the power of their might, to make regulations to suit themselves. They fixed it so they would be tried in white courts for offences, and not by Chinese. Like this: Suppose there were thousands of Chinese in a community, as New York and Chicago, and they would say: "We are not amenable to your courts and judges, we will set up our own, and don't you molest us!" That's about the way things are in China's chief cites today. They have set up "Jim Grow" regulations there against the Chinese. They have signs in certain Chinese parks, in China, reading: "Chinese and dogs not allowed." The Chinese, essentially a "colored nation, have become "sick and tired" of all this and are demanding fundamental justice. England is sending 15,000 soldiers into China. Warships, marines, and soldiers from the United States, Japan, France, and other nations are hovering at Shanghai and other ports. What followed the announcement of England's great military gesture, of armed force? One of the foremost Generals of China said: "We are not going to be frightened by England's threat! This issue must be more sooner or later. The time has arrived. We have forces to resist England and all other nations that seek to disturb our sovereign rights." That is a historical statement. That sounds like quidquid, and it may mean the beginning of the next war. One is reminded of the scrap between man and wife, and the outsider who comes in to separate them, and the two forget their own scrapping and turn, together, on the outsider: "Beware the Idea of March." Announcement Extraordinary Minnie Albritton Jackson, the sweet nightingale of the Golden West, who has been in the East for the past seven years, will appear in recital at the Second Baptist Church, March 2nd. 2-4-1 Noah D. Thompson Word reaches us that our distinguished friend and former fellow citizen, Noah D. Thompson, arrived last Monday in New York City; where he has been engaged as the Business Manager of the well known and high class magazine "Opportunity". The many friends of Mr. Thompson in Los Angeles were much chagrined and disappointed at his sudden decision to leave for New York. They recognized in him one of our foremost citizens who was first alert for all things which tended for, the advancement of the people. No cause of merit or undertaking which stood for progress ever lacked for his encouragement, in fact he was on deck Fresno and Bakersfield Welcome "Golden State" Mr. Geo. A. Bevers, Jr., Vice-President and Director of Agencies of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company who just returned from a trip north, reports that the company is making rapid progress in the Oakland district. Mr. B. N. Hunigan the new superintendent of this district was well received and he is expected to be a big success in the bay district. The people of Fresno and Bakersfield were very enthusiastic in their welcome of the news that the only Negro Life Insurance Company in the West will soon be operating in their district. Plans are now being perfected to give Golden State service to the people of Fresno and Bakersfield. Mr. E. J. Johnson has assumed his new duties as superintendent of the Pasadena district. He expects to equal if not surpass the remarkable record that he established in Oakland. A Timely Suggestion Los Angeles, alif, January 23, 1927 CALIFORNIA EAGLE: I wonder if I could make a suggestion through the Negro Press and Pulpit for Courtesy Week among Negroes—old and young. grown up, make in one of our that Negro people brought to my mind that possibly our leading men and women in their meetings could bring much influence to bear on good manners and much less noise among our people in public places. On the street cars our first church going and lodge members—Negro women and men—broadcast all of their affairs to the world. Migrants on the older Negroes especially, to be conspicuous by their enlargement. A SUBSCRIBER. at all times with his time and means to make Los Angeles go. For this reason the people would have indeed been pleased at the opportunity to tender him a testimonial expressing their genuine appreciation for his worth as a citizen. Mr. Thompson and his talented wife were most highly appreciated at their home in this city and will be sorely missed. Mr. Thompson was, for years, connected with the Daily Express of this city, was a member of the Housing Commission, an official of the Urban League, prominent with the N. A. A. C.

For 1927 United Rights Crusade, Urge 1927 Get-Together Racial uniting for common cause post-sequi crusade by renewed organizations recommended for start of America's 4th half century. Lincoln-Douglas Day for Launching Movement. BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 4, 1927.—(Special)—From its national headquarters here the National Equal Rights League has issued a 1927 appeal for united racial action against color discrimination. The league calls attention to this country's passing its 150th year in 1926 and urges the race to a special renewal of contention for the rights upon which the new nation was based as its 4th half century begins, a post Sesqui-Centennial crusade for rights based upon a plan. The Plan In this plan the specified rights which the entire membership of the race are asked to agree to are—1st. Full and identical judicial rights, to stop lynching and court injustice. stop denial or intimidation in freedom 2nd. Identical political rights, to to vote n primaries and elections. 3rd. Identical civil rights, to prevent exclusion from or segregation in public conveyances, educational institutions, public places of amusement, of lodgings, of refreshment and eating, recreation and others of public accommodation and resort, or in residence, and in government buildings or in connection with government work. Methods and Means The methods of the Grande as put forth are:— 1st. Daily prayer to Almighty God for deliverance from race hatred and the persecutions and proscription, with special public prayer annually in connection with Thanksgiving Day Services. 2nd. Publication in every race paper, posting in every meeting room and assembly hall or edifice, social civic, fraternal or religious, of the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. 3RD. Emancipation from slavery to political parties and voting as free ensure the Crusade's objects, also full registration. 4TH. Renewed racial organization for rights and to further the Crusade as by branches of the National Equal Rights League, etc.; and membership everybody with same civil rights organization. 5TH. Racial union; by co-operation and united action of all civil rights organization nad by bringing together all political, fraternal, civil, social and business bodies for combined political and civil force and finance against injustice and for equality. For this earnest effort to mobilize the total power of the proscribed, the race press is asked to publish this explanation of the Crusade. The League urges immediate appeal to Congress to press the Anti-Lynching Bill and repeal the Segregation Beach statue and to the President to abolish departmental segregation. Launch Movement Feb. 12-14 Public Inauguration of the Crusade in a nation-wide scale is suggested at Douglass or Douglass-Lincoln Day observances at which the arrangement committees will initiate permanent organizations for the Crusade by Lincoln-Douglass or Equal Rights Leagues, Citizens Committees, or SubCommittees of some organization, with a national observance acce- consent for the postage (4 cents) by the League, 9 Cornhill; with the Post-Sesqui-Centennial Declaration and Plan of Crusade. 25th Wedding Anniversary of the H. W. Markhams EVELYN TURNER WARREN Memories of a wedding in Houston, Texas, twenty-five years ago when Miss Emma Todd, a daughter of one of Houston's most prominent families, was joined in holy matrimony to Mr. H. W. Markham, were awakened when this highly esteemed couple held their twenty-fifth anniversary at Social Hall, Wesley Chapel Church, on Saturday evening, Jan. 29, at which Church Mrs. Markham has held the position of organist for eighteen years. Elaborately gowned women and men in correct evening attire gathered amid gorgeous decoration of pink and white, to celebrate the presive ceremony. All the celebrated musicians of the city gathered to congratulate their fellow artist and hundreds of charming young people attended in admiration of such an ideal wedded life. The following ladies received the many guests: Mrs. Leonard Green, in red crepe, Mrs. Mildred Warren in pink crepe de chine, Mrs. Daisy Malveaux, in gray crepe, Mrs. Howard, in green crepe, Mrs. W. L. Gordon, in black, Mrs. L. B. Hill, black beaded crepe de chine, and Mrs. O. L. Davis, and Mrs. Edna Steward. At the hour of eight-thirty, the following program was rendered with Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew at the piano and M. J. D. Banton accompanying with the violin; Mrs. Holena Smith, solo "One Sweet Day" Mrs. Smith wore orchid and silver lace; Chorus, "Bridal Chorus," Lohengrin, by Wesley Chapel Cho'; Solo, "Love Here is my Heart" Prof. J. B. Jones. Then while H. W. Markham, Jr., the talented son of the "bride and groom" played Lohengrin's Wedding March, the bridal party entered in this order: Mrs. M. B. Jenkins, in a stunning gown of white satin and gold lace, Mrs. Jessie Hood, orchid brocaded velvet, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Mason, who were maid of honor and best man twenty-five years ago; Mrs. Mason in orchid flat crepe. Little Zenobia Cochran, in pink ruffled taffeta, entered, bearing a basket of roses and throwing petals for the feet of the bride who entered next with her groom of twenty-five years. Mrs. Markham wore a beautiful creation of white crepe with georgette lace and rhinestone trimming, with a large hand made rose f pale pink on the shoulder. The ceremony was performed beneath a huge wedding bell in, a bower of white roses, by Rev. A. Shaw, after which Mrs. Naeomi Pharr sang, "Until," Mrs. Pharr wore, yellow beaded georgette. The guests were then ushered into the banquet halls where Mr. Amoe Smith and Mrs. Bell presided, and the Misses Marie Maser in blue georgette, Thelma Gault, in yellow georgette, Florine Shaw, green georgette, and Emma Breuck in yellow satin, served punch, Miss Anna Mee Green in gold lace over pink satin, Mrs. Ruth Kimbrough, pink brosse satin, Mrs. Trouble, in black pamsel velvet and Mrs. Dorothy Hill-Landgin, in a pink gown gown received gifts, of which were: two silver cake plates, five bread trays, two pie plates, one half dish sherbet in silver stands in a salty-lined case, silver cedar lined hummus, five pairs of candle holders, eleven salt and pepper shakers, one silver covered vegetable dish, one silver hamster Mme. Schumann-Heink Visits Bethune-Cook- man-College It was an unusual distinction for the students and teachers of Bethune- Cookman College to have as their guest solar Mehmope Pointeine Bethune- Cookman-Heink, world's famous opera- singer, to visit the college and in pleasing manner express her feelings with respect to a struggling people. No person is better in position to speak on such a subject than Mme. Schumann-Heink, because her meteorite career has been the result of hard work and sacrifice. It was fitting, therefore, that she should see the work of a woman who has made untold sacri- fiences for the benefit of the Negro. Madam Schumann-Heink was received at the College by the President, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, and escorted to the platform by fifteen members of the Advisory Board, where she was introduced by the Chairman, Mrs. C. M. Ranslow, who said: "I am sure that we are not only glad, but very joyful at this moment that Mme Schumann-Heink has taken a Little time from her resting period to come out and look at us. It is very wonderful for us, because we are deprived of going to hear her at the Auditorium. To the school I want to say what, I am sure, she will not tell you, that she has by great diligence and hardship and sacrifice, worked her way up to a grand career, from poverty, like your own. Isn't it wonderful? It gives me great pleasure to present Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink." Madam Schumann-Heink replied as follows: "I am not a speaker, although some time, I find the words to express my feelings. I am an old mother and grandmother. I believe in God. I believe in human beings. They are all alike. We are all children of God, and I have found that your race, the race to which I belong, and all races have some intelligent, fine and beautiful representatives. You are the real, loyal Americans, who have reached a great, big, point in life. Suffering means sacrifice. I sacrificed, I suffered, but knew that God would never, never leave me if I did my duty, and if I did not let bitterness, and jealousy come into my life. I do love the world—I do love, above all, our blessed America! It is the greatest country in the world! It is the greatest nation, and if I never did know what it meant, I learned to appreciate and to bow my head during my life in the tents when they let me serve them—when, met all of the boys—when I sang for them—when I went to the hospitals. . . I felt that that was the time when I could prove to the United States my deep, undying gratitude for what the United States did for the old greenhorn, Schumann-Heink. (I am not a greenhorn any more.) "You must excuse my poor English. I started to learn English, not from books and reading, nor old teachers—but from the boys in the tents. You can imagine what I learned. Now, young men and young women, I am not a speaker, as I sold you. I just want to tell you to keep up your ambition; never get bitter; never get jealous, because God Almighty will bless your race just the same as everybody else who is decent and good, who is right and ambitious. Later on, when my career is over—I have just had the opportunity to come here and one and a half years ago—if I can of felt how you can rest assured that, as the soldier boys called me 'Mother Schumann-Heink,' I will be just 'Mother Schumann-Heink' to you and help wherever I can." Madam Schumann-Heink joined in the singing of "Suwanze River" and all were held spellbound by the richness of her deep contralto voice. Major William T.

Signs everywhere, you look, and from the way the different ones are talking about it, it sure is going to be some hop. I feel sorry for Mr. Ross and Mr. Willi on that eventful evening, they should prepare, for war this of peace and get enough porters to protect the ones, or body in to come up, or missing. Well if the man does get short of porters do not be surprised to see the platform man come up to the Music Art Hall and yank some poor porter out in full dress to go out on a line, because boys, you know these pullman cars have got to run. The traveling public should allow for unusual happenings on the 11th and if their Pullman porter greets them in full dress they should feel sorry for him, because he is just one porter that the platform man has come up to the hall and got. So let her go for a real dance at The Music Art Hall on the 11th of February. Music by the famous Black and Tan. Can you beat it. AMERICAN RED CROSS CAR COMING TO LOS ANGELES The American Red Cross car will arrive in Los Angeles on S. P. car No. 32 at 4:30 P. M., February 9th and again on S. P. train No. 3 at 7:40 A. M., February 22nd. The American Red Cross has issued special invitations for Pullman employees to attend first aid meetings on this car, where they will be cordially received by the Red Cross officials. -00- PULLMAN WELFARE WORKER OF OAKLAND GOES ON ROAD It has been reported to the Railroad Clatter that Mr. Hohman of Oakland for some time a Welfare Worker, has gone back to his first love as Pullman Porter. Mr. Hohman has been very active in Pullman circles for the past few years, at one time he was a strong candidate for a seat on the board of directors of the P. P. B. A. Mr. C. C. Kenney, former Pullman platform man made a trip on the San Diego Owl last week, and stated that he was very well pleased with his run. FAST TRAVEL It takes a letter just 22 hours to travel from Los Angeles to Chicago. Have you ever stopped to think what the result will be when a human being or passengers can make that trip in the same time. Well, as far as porters are concerned, it will be Bye Bye Black Bird.

For all of us, more or less are descendants of the biblical Thomas. You are right in doubting for it would not be possible to make that kind of cream at that price if the one making it did not have the finest jersey cow you ever saw. A cow giving milk so creamy it doesn't seem real—not to city folk. Then too, there are chickens, corn-fed hens that lay the golden eggs from which the custard is made. So it is that you may receive the benefit of these wonderful combinations.

Won't that be great? Of course, one of the reasons these creams are so different is because they will be absolutely fresh, therefore if you would be sure of service you must order a day ahead.

The Los Angeles Forum and its Celebration celebrating the 25th milestone of its existence, which will be held at the Auditorium of the New Y. M. C.

It would be well for the people to appreciate the Forum in times of tranquility just the same as they would in times of stress. No grest calamity ever came upon us in this community individually or otherwise, but what the Sunday Forum would be the first place sought for succor and relief. Bear in mind also that the Forum has never failed to function on behalf of any worth while cause. It has made men and made women, withal it has been an inspiration and hope. The critics have harped, they have frotted at the mouth, but the Forum has marched straight ahead functioning for its high calling where all may have an opportunity to state their case. With these thoughts in mind the Soaring Eagle bespeaks for the Forum a mammoth hearing for its 25th Anniversary Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. BUSINESS CONDITIONS FOR JANUARY, 1927, AS OUTLINED BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE January constituted an active month in practically all lines of business in Los Angeles. Indicative of the degree to which business showed an increase over last year was the volume of Bank Clearings which reached the total of $822,832,484.40 for the month as against $757,906,314 for the corresponding month of 1926. This is an increase of 11½% whereas the increase of December over the previous December was only 7% and the gain for November over November, 1925 was only 6.8%. Thus the increased volume of business compared with last year has shown a higher rate of gain during the last month than for several past. Incomplete reports indicate that Los Angeles without counting the clearings of Hollywood and San Pedro clearing houses, had for the first month on record the largest clearings of any city on the Pacific Coast. The situation also is to be contrasted with most of the Eastern cities which are showing clearings running below those of last year. Building Construction Building permits for the month totaled $8,129,749 for 2,844 buildings as compared with $6,973,252 for 3236 buildings in 1926. This shows a gain in value of about 16 percent.

Price Trend has evident during the month a contin There was evident during the month a continuation of the general tendency towards lower wholesale prices. Professor Fisher's Index number declining two points to 145.1 as contrasted with 147.2 at the end of December. This tends to retard buying by wholesalers and others who carry large stocks so as to minimize inventory losses with the result that the average stocks of goods on hand in these houses are somewhat lower than last year. Oil There was a slight tendency towards a decline in the average daily production of California oil fields during the month. The figures standing at approximately 661,000 barrels per day, as contrasted with a maximum of about 670,000 barrels at the end of December. The figure compares however, with the average for January, 1926 of approximately 622,500. Operators are much interested in the behavior of the Huntington Beach field which has shown a substantial drop in production during the last few weeks. Assurance of the continued development of Los Angeles as the center of the oil industry is brought out by the announcement os the General Petroleum Company of their commencement of the erection of a large refinery costing several million dollars. This follows only a few months after a similar announcement on the part of the Shell Company. Furniture Manufacturing Furniture factories report business as being good for the latter part of the month, although disappointing in volume during the first two weeks. The month's total as a whole will show an increase of about 5 percent as compared with January 1926, and manufacturers in spita of a good season last year are looking forward to even better results in 1927.

INVADE ENEMY'S TERRITORY GIANTS HAVE BATTING FIT "Forsoothe," his said, "ye Royal Giants may not obtain victory in the realm of ye Shell Oilers!" But nay, nay, methinks those sturdy yoemen may victorize most anywhere. In modern slanguage, the Royal Giants 'got hot' about losing the Saturday game at Long Beach and on Sunday had a "bttin spasm." They lambasted, slugged and black-jacked the prancing pill around the Long Beach lawn, till the score board wouldn't behave. As maple masters, those hat busters showed "hit and runners" the truck "that couldn't 'thin' else" So when the score board tired hanging them up there were 10 for the Giants and half that for the Oilers. Foster got another hero badge pinned on his crowded chest as winner of the victory. Rogan pitched 22-3 of the 9 inning game, striking out 3 men. Next Saturday and Sunday, Pirrone's All-Stars will try to put a crimp in the top-balancing Royal Giants.

HAM JENKINS IN DE- MAND AS MAIN EVENTER Down at the California Eagle office they sell the quiet little gentleman, Jenkins "our boy." The reason for this is that Ham and his manager got acquainted with the Eagle staff right after their arrival in town and when the Soaring Eagle gets interested in a new boy it tells the local readers about him. This was done, with a picture and story, prophesying great doings for Ham in his first fight at the Main St. A. C. This, Ham verified by winning in such an impressive way that he became instantly in demand at the other clubs, and has was every match to date. This is why Morrie Cohan saw the good in him as a drawing card at the Pasadena Arsenal show on Thursday against Salar Jack Campbell. Jenkins was a big card in Denver before arriving here, winning 18 out of 40 fights by knock-outs. But all the boys have to show off when they get to L.A. in order to make good with local fandom, and that is what this boy has done. TUSKEGEE BASKETEERS LOSE TO MOREHOUSE (By A. N. P.)

A Power and strength of shoulder, back and, abdomen, muscles, lightness and balance of foot, quickness of the sport. ance of foot, Harry Levette quickness of the eye—all come from this sport. Best of all comes the training to think and act quickly and a develop- ment of fairness and respect for one's opponent. So Hastings is coming in for some of the glory of Young's swim now at last. Some of the parties who were howling about Young's unfair treat- ment of his pal, may have been all wrong. The follow who helps make a thing possible deserves credit, truly enough, but fter all it was Young who swam the Channel. The two teams of our girls now training for a baseball tour is a proof of what women can do. Go to it girls! Who said women were the "weaker sex?" Baby Joe Gans is keeping in trim just waiting for the matchers to settle the argument as to who shall be the next scholar to be turned over to the "young master." Gans says bring any or all of them.

One thing is sure, if all the referees in the game were as fair and square as Dick there would never be a bum decision at any of his shows. "Gentleman" HAM JENKINS Who has been signed to meet Ac Hudkins at Frusca. Suggs Shows Class (By A. N. P.) Detroit, Mich., Feb. 2—Displaying the wares that won for him two world's championship titles in the box- ing game, Chick Sugge, the New Bed- ford "whisk," roundly whipped Sailor Dombrowski of Detroit in their ten- round bout staged in the Daneeland arena here Friday night. This being the first mixed bout held in the State of Michigan in a number of years. Boxing being legalized in this state in 1919. The little colored fighter had every thing known to the game, which includes elevator intelligence, speed and punishing power. By far the classiest boxer Detroit has ever seen. He won by a wide margin nine of the ten rounds, toying with Dombrowski throughout it was a question of opin- ion as to whether or not Sugge could have knocked his opponent out who showed considerable geniuses and ability to take punishment. THE BOXING CLUB The following telegram received by Manager Tom Sieleki last week means a great achievement in the career of Young Jake Thompson, the Beau Brumell of the Los Angeles boxing circles who has made such a sensational rise in the world of Sports. "Will expect you to arrive with Young Jack Thompson, first week in March. If agree to terms advise by wire. We will start plugging at once. Expect him to be big drawing card here. Get ready. Have good matches lined up. Awaiting answer." Thompson's last fight on the Coast before going East will probably be against Tommy Cello at the Dreaming Arena in Prisco. Jack will have to use his pile driving right to perfection against the tough Tommy in order to show him away with the rest of the victims he has copped on the Coast this season. No doubt he will for a loss would not do his New York drawing powers any good right now. This encounter has a lot of interest attached to it from the fact of it being postponed a couple of weeks ago. Jack is training hard now and as proof of how deeply he is interested in his future welfare he gave the following answer when informed, how anxious a group of girls were to meet him: "Well, I'm sorry too busy training now, have to whist the championship just use them my seconds." EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE BROWN BOY OF EAST INDIA SHOWS FASTER HUMAN THAN PADDOCK MAKES 100 YARDS IN NINE SECONDS FLAT Charley Paddock the great Los Angeles boy basking under the title of the "world's fastest human" has his title endangered by a fleet brown boy with the heavy cogmen of Mukerij. According to a message from Indore, India, to New York, Mukerij, a native of India, made a new world's record by stepping off a 100 yard dash in 9 seconds flat. He also ran 220 yards in 20 seconds flat at a Sports Tournament premed over by J. R. Glancey, a British resident official of Indore. Paddock on All-American In a list selected by the Amateur Athletic Union, Paddock is one of the four Los Angeles athletes named on the All-American track and field team. The other three are Kenneth Grumbles, 440 yard hurdles; Leighton Dye, 22 yards hurdled; "Bud" Hauser, discuss thrower—all of the Hollywood A. C. Brice Taylor, great Negro football star of U. S. C., now on the track team in fast approaching the world's record with 9.8 seconds for the 100 yard dash. C VERNON CARD WILL DEVELOP MIDDLE- WEIGHT CON- TENDER Great things may come from the middelweight tournament being staged by Matecnmaker Wadhams at Jack Doley's Vernon arena from the first start in the elimination bout Tuesday night. February 8th, between the popular Bott Colima and Joe Anderson, the northern idol who conquered Leo Lomski. The weight limit having been changed now from 165 to 158 will make it easier for both of them to be in the best of condition. The winner of this bout which is sure to be a red hot one, will probably get an immediate match with Mickey Walker. Bert is especially anxious as he is still smarting over the spanking Mickey gave him at their last meeting, while Anderson figures he can best Walker if given the chance. On the rest of the card is Mateo Magdaleonio vs. Teddy Silva, 8 rounds; Billy Manzella vs. Mickey Erno, 6 Joe Noto vs. Jimmy Fox, 6 rounds; sounds. HOWARD FIVE DEFEATS BLUE FIELD INSTITUTE 41-19 Washington, D. C., Feb. 1—Stepping out in lively fashion and with their offense working so smoothly the Howard University "bisons" gained the decision over the basketball quintet representing Bluefield (W. Va.). Institute in the game played in the Howard University Gymnasium, Monday evening, January 24, 1927. Howard finished the first half in the van, 21-9. The second half opened with a lightning-like passing game which baffled Bluefield and ran the score to 41-19. We wish to congratulate the Misses Velma White, Celestine Bailey and Messrs. Lawrence Johnson, Harry Johnson and Aldon Prudhomme, on their recent graduation from the honorable institution of L. A. H. S. *** Those who will leave us this summer are Misses Edith Keyser, Agnes Johnson, Mae Turner, Alicia Allen and Messrs. Walter Gregory and Jack Bratto. We wish them all success. *** We are very sorry to lose one who loves to "drop oil," nobody else but Miss Eugenia Grant, who has transferred to Poly High School as an experiment. It doesn't come up to the standard of L. A. H. S. so she thinks she will return to us. The new students are Misses Birdie Lee Bright, Ruby Johnson, and Dorothy Joyce. We extend a very hearty welcome to them. *** Miss Mamie Lee Pickens has started the new term by posing by L. A. H. S. in her new Chrysler Six sedan. *** Miss Alicia Allen has quite a bit of competition this term. Misses Edith Keyser, Mae Turner, Velma White and Agnes Johnson have now entered into the Millinery trade. Look out Alicia. A very delightful surprise party was given in honor of Miss Velma White by Miss Constance Phillips at the home of Velma's sister. The home was beautifully decorated in the famous L. A. colors, Blue and White. There was red hot music and soft lights. Miss White was the recipient of many beautiful and ful gifts. THE BOXING GAME Here we have the former light heavyweight champion of the 25th Infantry—Rough-ouse Clyde Calvin. Clyde takes his name from the class of a battling he puts up. He is strong and rugged, the kind that is not averse to stand toe to toe and slug. He is after the local white and colored light heavies. Along Fisticuffs Row Fidel La Barba grieves like Alexander the Great because there are no more world's to conquer. He leaves for Europe to give the best boys there a chance at his crown. Vic Alexander, star light heavy in George Tittington's stable, butt himself back in the fan's good graces by his win over Fuente. The Culver City arena had Vigo Doman vs. Les Barlage for Thursday night. Mickey Walker had dynamite or morphine in his gloves one day last week at the Main St. A. C. - A squirring partner took a side-slip and nose-dive to a soft spot on the canvas and stayed there. Everybody likes to hear "Red" Hogan at the Main St., holler "plenty of boxing." Young Jack Thompson is preparing to buy a lot in a popular beach town and get ready for the day when he takes unto himself a life-time partner. (Not sparring partner though, he says.) BRONX BITS The Utopians "Utoped" to a fare-you-well last Monday night. Everybody was happy and the dance floor filled up every time the music started. Many of the down-town performers dripped in and added their bit to the entertainment dished out by Loaile Walton, "Bodiddly the Great," and the reole Orchestra. Thursday saw the return of the venue, reorganized by the womens Curtis Carpentier, Palm Gardens manager. Res.: 1411 E.

He put Alger down for 8 in the third and 9 in the tenth and had him in a bad way several times through the bout in spite of Alger's game battling. The declision in the semi-windup between Charley Long and Billy Harns was as a white passenger on a street car said later: "just another robbery of the colored boys by a referee who didn't referee." The worst Long should have gotten was a draw as he kept up a terrific body attack all thru the light. An unusually good crowd witnessed the fights Main St. A.C. Starts Heavyweight Tourney WHITEY BLACK ON CARD Carlo Gurtis, the dapper little captain of U. S. S. "Sock 'Em," better known as the Main St. Gym as usual has cast his best weather eye around for what his cash customers may like for a change and has organized a heavyweight tournament that is intended to lead up to Gene Tuney, as quickly as the local crop is used up. Nobody is barred not even Jack Dempsey. On his opening card set for Saturday, February 5th, he has that El Paso boy with the wicked left hand to the body, Whitey Black, tough, game and a crowd pleaser.

Exciting Plays At The Week-End Bsketball League Whether the balcony crowded with fair-rooters, cheering, calling and fluttering, handkerchiefs spurred the boys to do their best, or whether it was just their dogged desire to win all the boys on the four teams in last Saturday's games really put in some strenuous work. With the season well under way interest in the outcome is getting greater. This is how the board looked after Saturday's close, well-fought games: First game—Hi-Y, 31; Eagles, 24 Second game—Flashes, 19; Tramps, 20. This Saturday games, February 5th, Hi-Y vs. Flashes; Y. M. D. vs. Eagles. Immediately following the disclosures, we find in our midst little Wilbur Gooden. He informs us his cium and co-defendant, Frank Hawkins, is also somewhere en route. Strange he has been en route such a long time, they must have side-tracked that car, or else, well, no one can tell where those care marked automobiles are being sent; he should have caught one marked Pacific Fruit Express, that would at least have brought him to the Coast. If Luke Rosser makes the grade in these exams we are informed he will report for spring football practice. Good-bye Luke, get in there and make them grades. Hall from Santa Monica High will appear in the A. A. U. boxing tournament at the Olympic Auditorium, Wednesday, February 2nd. He is a middleweight. Watch him gang, he may be good. Mr. Chas Martin of the N. N. B. Club he is also the director of Athletic activities for the Institute of Club Fellows states that immediately following the city meet, the Inter-club track season will open. He will later announce the date for a meeting for determining a definite schedule. Wake up on rushes grab your athletes THE BATTLE FOR THE BEST HOME let the gang interpret the meaning of this: We want to know how it happened—three local colleges that were last semester, the Alma Mater of some of our students, the institute of any. Thetholius Smith has forsaken the Whittier College campus, as he intends to go fast to school. Lester Nichols has been missed from the halls of Christian College, and out at Loyola College we failed to find any trace of our first colored student, Ben Crocket. Why? We don't know, but those exams—who knows? Ha! Here it is again, this time from afar off. Say, somewhere in Kansas. Everybody knows where I mean, Wilberforce. You know the state recently had a big investigation at the school, in regards to a peculiar manner in which the funds were expended and unaccounted for. Well, quite a few of the big boys who were in on the know, assigned, took a vacation, and in other undignified ways quitted the scene. Now, we are not accusing our friends of being in on any of them $400,000 bucks, but when all the rest of the syndicate took to the tall timbers, why, I ask, did our boys flee. GIRLETICS By: GLADYS MATHONICAN The weeping skies of Jupiter Phivins, having been drenched up by "Old Sol", the Spring-like sunshine is drawng the girl backteachers to Ross Snydges Field regularly every Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, for practise. Last Satur-saw among others # the Misses Hazel Gladys Mathou- Thomas, an ex- captationally good, fast, top center; Alice Stevenson, running center; showing great promise; Ana Collier, Maudine Simmons; Constance Phillips, guard and djana Phillips, running center. All the girls are showing great improvement, more with each prac- tice though some need to put more pep and snap into their plays. Though a masculine coach may at some future time be necessary, some indian teams so at Saturday's practice Mr. Varon Pulsher officiated. In a few days, the basketball, baseball and football teams will be for photos in their new uniforms and the pictures will be published in these columns. Word his come that Julietta Harris, our tennis star competed in the recent city tournament. Details as to the outcome have not reached the office as yet, but will be published on re- ceipt. As to the entry of girls into the more strentuous lines of athletics, an outstanding example is shown in the record made by Miss Alice Jackson, Javelin thrower, of the Pusatian Gym. She throws the strentuous training for the national women's championships to be held in the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, early in the summer. hicago, Ill., Jan. 30, 1927 Dear Griette, Editor: What in the world must I do to reduce? I love chocolates, cream puffs, malted milk and all the foods they say are fattening, but never eat over three times a day, sleep nine hours and don't like to dance; am 17 years old, 5 feet 2 inches and weigh 160 pounds. Well: Miss T. F. (I suppose that means Too Fat), you must "don't" all the things you "do" now; eat less, and don't sleep so late. Exercise, dance and change your diet then see don't you look better, feel better and even your own mother will love you better.

Rag Time Billy Tucker will leave soon with his show for the Or'ent. Warren and Gill are still stopping shows on West Coast time. Too much criticism cannot be laid on a performer who asks for a booking, gets booked and then fails to show, not only discrediting himself, or herself, but also the booker. This occurred last week for an art booked for last Saturday night at the Rosebud, which was placed through this publication's influence, but which was never produced.

When he devised a vehicle with two wheels progress started turning handsprings. When he added another pair of wheels, a gas engine and air-cushioned tires the old world rubbed its eyes, threw back his shoulders and has been joy-riding ever since, declares E. V. Weller of the National Automobile Club. Just about the time that January is swinging into February and the popies are peeping out of their hiding places in the California hills, the annual exhibition of the products of the motor age will be staged at the Civic Auditorium of San Francisco. It will be a pageant of extraordinary beauty, combining the lure of the open road with the practical attractions of mechanical excellence. Under the great examples that depict the history and romance of California, will be shown the magic carpets of the age of speed. No lamp of Aladdin, no enchanted wand, no wizard helmet of the childhood of the world ever devised so marvelous an array as this. Here is the vision of the sages of the centuries transformed into reality. Here the genius of the draughtsman, the mechanic and the engineer have been fused 'into an energy that has developed ito the driving force of civilization. The motor car is the key to the Open Road. It is a most efficient means of education, it binds together the city and the country, it is the very life blood of commerce and trade. The automotive industry gives employment to millions of persons from the toiler in the mines to the salesman of the finished product. It has grown with a few years from a field of most investment t ote ranking position among the industries of the world. With its growth has come an increased prosperity, a greater circulation of money, a stimulation of business and a more democratic spirit in our national life. Southern California has 56 per cent of the motor vehicles of the state, or a total of 917584 machines, according to the latest state-wide registration figures reaching the Auto Club of Southern California. The total motor vehicle registration for the entire state for January 1, 1926, to December 31, 1926, is 1,641,571, while the registration by counties in Southern California is as follows: The Division of Motor Vehicles of California makes the following statement of number of fee paid registrations of automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and trailers in the thirteen Southern counties—for January 1, 1926, to December 31, 1928: Autos 785,956: Solid Trucks, 20- 412; Pneumatic Trucks, 90,239; Motor Cylues, 5,111; Trailers 18,866. NEW TRAFFIC REGULATIONS The present article deals with the subject of overtaking and passing street cars. The California Vehicle Act provides a uniform rule on this subject that experience has shown that it is not sufficiently restrictive in congested areas. Therefore, the City Council has adopted the rule explained here and issued the Highway Traffic Ordinance. and at a speed not greater than is reasonable and proper, and in any event not faster than ten miles an hour. It is always unlawful to pass to the left of a street car, whether it is standing or moving, when there is a traveling roadway to the right of such street. Motorists are urged to scrupulously observe the requirements as to stopping behind standing street cars, which term includes railway and interurban cars as well. This should be done first to avoid injury to persons who wish to board or alight from street cars. Records show that many such persons are injured by passing vehicles. Then, it should be done to avoid arrest, chief of Police Davis is greatly concerned at the number of persons injured in this manner, and may soon insist upon a more general observance by motorists of this reasonable rule. Particularly should the rule be observed because of the effect upon the motorist's civil rights in the event of accident. A failure to observe the rule is a violation of law. This makes the violator guilty of negligence per se, that is, by the fact alone. Unless the motorist and then prove that his act in violating the rule did not cause or contribute to the resulting accident, he will have great difficulty in avoiding a judgment against him, and in such cases such proof is almost impossible. For a selfish reason then, the rule should be closely followed. IVAN KEI SO. General counsel, Automobile Club of Southern California. Bruce Appointed To 100,000 Club As Auto Salesman Through fair treatment and square dealing with the public, gaining thereby their continued patronage, Mr. J. E. Bruce, race salesman for the Willys Overland Pacific Automobile Company, bids fair to rank as a member of the One Hundred Thousand Club. To [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] attain a membership therein is a high honor indeed. The friends of Mr. Bruce are therefore rallying to his support and directing all who are in the market for as good a product as the Willys Overland put out, to Mr. Bruce, who never fails to satisfy if it is good automobiles that they are looking for. Mr. Bruce can be reached at the Willys Overland Pacific Company's main office, 1088 So. Hope Street, or call WEstmore 8261, ask for Mr. Bruce. "One man is knocked down by an automobile every twenty minutes." "I know then, sir," said the policeman with a diffident cough, "but he lives in San Francisco." You would think it would wear him out—Motor Chat. 000 The experienced minister was crawling carefully through a well-known "trap" when he saw the village constable making imperative signs to stop. "Look here," said the annoyed motorist, "I wasn't exceeding the speed limit. "That's all right, but I've got three chaps in jail for drunkess driving, and they sent me out to look for a fourth in a game of bridge."—The Tucker. 000 I could not fowr these dear, so much. If you owned it I am sure Van Williams hitched his Buick sedan to a hitching post in front of a 28th St. residence and went inside, presumedly to beat someone playing whist. Incidentally the gentleman received a severe repuke and his wife accompanied by Mrs. Emma Smith had to show him the way to go home. Mrs. Lottie Anderson is flirting with the new Essex.
