1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1927 VOLUME 41 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1927 No. 8 PREACHER HELD FOR SLAYING What promises to be one of the most sensational murder trials was launched in Judge Charles T. Cook's court at Long Beach, Calif., Tuesday afternoon, July 26.at 2 o'clock in which the People of the State of California is prosecuting the Rev. W. R. Hardy for the murder of one John Denkey. The first witness called to the stand was Dr. Terry, the physician who examined and gave medical attention to Mr. Denkey a short while after he was shot three times on the evening of July 9th on California Street in Long Beach by the Rev. Hardy. Dr. Terry was called to the stand by Prosecuting Attorney Fee, who testified that death, which occurred on July 14th, six days after the shooting, was the result of a gunshot wound in the stomach. The second witness called by the prosecution was Warren A. Bliss of 2222 Myrtle Ave., Long Beach, who testified that he heard, but did not see the first shot fired, but appeared on the scene in time to see three of the four shots fired at the man who was on the run as the parson continued to shoot. A. No! I first heard a shot when I was returning from the rear of the house where I had gone to get things of Mr. Danko's things. I was in the act of hauling away. Mr. Bliss testified that he saw the people gathering in front of the house and noticed the gun in Rev. Hardy's hand. Q. "Did you see a knife in the hand of the deceased?" A. "No!" Q. "Did you hear him say anything?" Q. "I heard someone say, 'I am going to cut some Nigger's throat,' but who it was, I don't know." The next witness called was George Walker, who after being sworn testified that his name was George Walker, and that he lived in Long Beach: That on the afternoon or early evening of July 9th he heard a gun shot and rushed to an open window in the cafe just across the street from the scene of confusion, where he worked. Q. "What did you first see?" A. "I saw a man standing in front of Mrs. Robinson's home, and the flew. Hardy with a gun in his hand that was belching shots at one John Denkey, who was running at a rather slow pace across the street." Q. "Did you notice that any of the shots hit the fleeing man?" shots hit the neeing man? A. "Yes. I saw him throw both hands on his back and I then noticed that he was bleding profusely." Q. "Did the Rev. Hardy continue to shoot?" A. "Yes." Q. "Did the next shot take effect?" A. "Yes, it hit Denkey in the shoulder." Q. "What happened next?" A. "By that time Mr. Denkey was in the middle of the street running towards me." Q. "Then what happened?" A. "I helped Mr. Denkey across to the sidewalk, and someone rang for the ambulance." Q. "What did Rev. Hardy then do?" A. "He walked towards his home with his son, who took the gun away from him." Q. "Did you hear him say any thing?" thing? A. "Yes. I heard him say that if there is anyone here who don't like it, I will give them some." This witness was then turned over to the counsel for the defense and was cross examined. Q. "Were you a friend to the deceased? A. "I knew him, and, yes, looked upon him as a friend." Just at this juncture there was a tilt between prosecutor Fee and the defense attorney, after which the defense continued to cross question the witness. Q. "Did you see a knife in the hand of the deceased?" A. "Yes." Q. "What became of it?" A. "I took it out of his hand and turned it over to the arresting officer." The third witness called by the prosecution was Mrs. Alice M. Lucy, who testified that she was, in her next door to the Robinson home, when the trouble started when she made noise which she took to be --- ing it across the street as fast as possible. It being 5 P. M. court adjourned to meet again Wednesday morning, July 27th at 10 o'clock. WEDNESDAY MORNING SESSION At 10:25 A. M. to a crowded court room of both black and white talk the bailiff cried: "Rise, please, Judge Cook's Court in Dept. 3 is now open," whereupon Judge Cook took his place on the bench barely scanning his court room. The case or People vs. Hardy was called. The defendant and all witnesses were present and the business of the day was started. All witnesses were asked to leave the court rdom except Holland C. Mack, who was called to the stand. Q. "Did you know John Denkey?" A. "Yes." Q. "Was he your friend?" A. "We were room mates for three years." Q. Do you know the defendant over there? A. "Yes. I go to his church." Q. "Why did you file the complaint in this case?" A. "Because I was asked by the deceased before he passed to see that justice was done." Q. "Here you spent any money on this case?" A. Yes. I assumed the burial ex- A. Yes. I assumed the burial expense Mr. Black was then cross examined by the defense. Q. "Would you like to see this defendant hanged for this crime?" A. "I would like to see justice." Q. "Have you hatred in your heart?" To this question the prosecution objected and his objection was sustained by Judge Cook who pronounced it immaterial and out of order. This ruling by the judge was bitterly attacked by the defense, and before the filt between Court and defense attorney ended the latter was threatened with a Contempt of Court charge. The witness, Mr. Mack was every inch a gentleman of culture and refinement and even when the defense attempted to confuse him in his cross questioning he remained calm, showing at all times control. Q. "Are you American born?" shot the defense at Mr. Mack. A. "In the British west Indies. Q. "Is it not a fact that you and Mr. Denkey were children together?" A. "No." Q. "Where did Mr. Denkey come from?" A. "I believe from a French Colony in the West Indies." Q. "Why do you wish to see this Rev. punished?" A. "Because I want the people to have justice in the courts." Through Mr. Mack's testimony it was brought out that the fight which ended with the shooting affray was the result of a fuss which started some weeks before between Mr. Denkey and his landlord, Mrs. Robinson, in which the parson participated; and as a result of which Denkey was arrested on a charge of battery and lodged in jail. Mr. Mack after testifying as to a conversation he had with Rev. Hardy just before the shooting in which he stated to Mr. Hardy that he had talked with Mr. Denkey and ascertained from him that he did not desire any trouble. At this time court adjourned to open at 2 p. m. o'clock Wednesday afternoon at which time William R. Willa took the stand and testified that on the evening of July 9th, while dining in the Gilmore Cafe on California St. he heard a shot and rushed to an open window to see from whence it came, whereupon he saw Rev. Hardy with a gun in his hand in pursuit of John Denkley who was running. Willa was cross questioned by the defense, and testified that he was an acquaintance of the decease, but not a particular friend. The next witness called was Mr. Ben- mit Jones, who gave his address as 3918 McKinley Ave., Los Angeles, Cal. and testified that he was dining at Glimore's Cafe at the time of the shooting attack. Q. "Did you hear the show 'ug?' A. "Yes." Q. "How many shots did you hear?" A. "I think tour." Q. "As a matter of fact how many shots did you hear?" A. "I don't know." Q. "How far were you from the scene of the shooting?" A. "I don't know, because I did not have a tapeline with me." Q. "Answer my question, short here." The officers of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company and the officers of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association set an example for racial co-operation, solidarity and progress when they reached an agreement whereby the business of the Progressive Mutual will be transferred to the Golden State. In these days when we hear so much talk about racial co-operation it is fitting and proper to have our business men set the example as these men have done by combining their efforts and making a bigger and greater organization. Many big mengers of financial institutions throughout the country have been effected this year. In the con solidation of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company and the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association, the officers of these organizations ```markdown ``` ELIJAH COOPER prove that they are men who believe in progress. According to statements issued by Mr. Geo. A. Beavera, Jr., Director of Agencies, as a result of the consolidation all members of the Progressive Mutual will have their policies, replaced with the Liberal Golden State policies. Mr. Victor G. Jordan, former Field Manager for the Progressive Mutual will continue to serve them policy holders for the present.

Outlaw, age 64 years, passed away at his home, 230 West 30th St., on last Tuesday morning about 10:30 A. M. The news of his death was a complete shock to his many friends and acquaintances. For more than a quarter of a century the doctor had been active in the practice of his profession in this city, maintaining offices in the Wilson Building and in later years in the Bryson Building. The doctor was a graduate of Howard University and procured his A. B. from Lincoln and was a native of Washington, D. C. The direct cause of his death was an attack of pneumonia of less than a week's duration. That body lay in state at the federal home of Conner and Johnson for two days. Simple services were held at the Chapel of this institution. Thursday at 2 P. M. when thousands of citizens attempted to gain entrance to pay their last respects. Dr. W. F. Clawhorn officiated.

PASTOR R. N. HOLT SUCCEEDS HIMSELF Can peace come out of confusion? This seemed to be the question at the close of a stormy session Wednesday evening at St. Paul Baptist Church. Bearing the outcome of its action presented to the congregation by the Deacon Board recommending the pastor's resignation. Such an action was prompted by many of its disgruntled members who have caused to support the cause, which is responsible for the dilemma in the organization placing this cause at the door of their pastor which is often expected. After much deliberation and contending that such action be taken by the Thirteen Pastors who had the courage to stand by this conviction, presenting such a recommendation, the vote was finally taken 41 to 15, 90 members being present. Among those representing the recommendation are the Pastor's strongest supporters. (And for the good of all concerned they did their duty.) The Pastor in commanding both sides who stood as men and women by their own conviction and declare that we can and will repeat ourselves as having come from a membership of 16 in the past 10 years to several hundred.* The above action has been taken indefinitely with many of the regressed members of the said nation, thereby bringing their whole life to the test. The Pastor also asks with four constituent members of the congregation to attend the meeting. PYTHIAN PROGRESS 1926-1927 A BRIEF REVIEW SHOWING THE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ORDER AND PROSPECTS FOR ADVANCEMENT, TAKEN FROM REPORT MADE BY GRAND CHANCELLOR JACOB SOARES. Grand Lodge Session now Being Held in the Castle Hall of Echo Lodge No. 2, K of P. of E. & W. H., July 25 to 27 The year of 1926-27 has so far in many respects been an eventful one in the annals of the Knights of Pythias. Students of maternal conditions and especially those conversed in Pythian affairs believe that the order at present is stronger and that its outlook is brighter than at any other time in its history. During the past year the gain has not come up to expectations numerically but advancement along other lines of activity promises a real growth in the immediate future while other achievements have undoubtedly layed the foundations for the fundamental progress of the Order. Perhaps the best survey of the record can be made by quoting from the statement of Supreme Chancellor W. Wahby Hawkins and Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals G. E. Gordon —The Pythian banner of the E. & W. H. has been raised in many states against strong protest—notably in the following states, Louisiana, North and South Carolina, New Jersey, Illinois and Connecticut is still growing steadily. The E. & W. Hemispheres withdrew from the South and North American, Europian, Asiatic and African Knights of Pythias in 1839 at the Supreme Session held in Baltimore, Md., because of infidelity shown by officers to members. It was not until after the Order came under the banner of K. of P. of E. & W. H. that we find the beginning of constitution and peaceful government. In addition to the income of the order our headquarters building located in Boston, Mass., brings in an annual income of $5000.00. This building was purchased in 1922 for $250,000.00. The coming 20th Bi-Annual Session of the Supreme Lodge which convenes in Boston, August 28th to 31st of this year, will mark our Fortieth Anniversary. As we pass another, milestone it is well to look back along the road already travelled and review the outstanding events of our Order which will give us impetus and inspiration for the future. It has built better communities and has given practical service. It has made intelligent and aggressive citizens. We all swear allegiance to the Flag and are determined to participate in every movement for the betterment of our City and State. Members in the State of California are now entering on a constructive period for the order. More worth while Pythian work must be accomplished by every Lodge and Court in the State. Thus far, records show, Californian Lodges are surpassed by every Lodge in the East. It is time for us to get busy and accomplish for ourselves and for the State of California. For forty years our Order has been successful in fraternal work, having for its object the bettermont of humanity and this work will not be complete until the banner of the Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere shall be hoisted in the heavenly breeze in every state of the Union. ELECTED GRAND TRON O. E. S. Rev. S. M. Beane the very popular pastor of Hamilton M. E. Church, this city and a member of Electa Chapter Order of the Eastern Star, was by a unanimous vote chosen by the District Grand Lodge of the O. E. S. in annual Grand Session assembled in the city of San Francisco last week, as the Grand Patron for this great organization. Rev. Beane has demonstrated his worth in fraternal as well as religious circles as a man who stands for real and lasting progress and it is indeed reassuring when our orders see it to place persons of his type or leadership. We congratulate the Eastern Star as well as Rev. Beane for his elevation to this position. Along, and simultaneously with the Odd Fellows, the sisters of the Grand Household of Ruth will also meet and likewise legislate for their department of the Order. Isiah Robinson of this city is the executive head of the Order, while Mrs. Selbe of Stockton, California, is the head of the Grand Household of Ruth. A great session is promised and real constructive work accomplished for the future of the Order is fondly hoped for. What Is Your Hobby? "And now each man bestride his hobby and dust away his bells to what tune he please."—Lamb. Everybody has his hobby which takes him away from daily routine and makes like more pleasure. What hobby horse do you like? What haps it is rattle which motions and inspires one. If so, Fratt's "New cyclopedie of Music and Musicians can solve many questions for your, and you might also be interested in reading Robert Schauffer's "Mustel Amateur." "Radio news" one of the popular radio periodicals would interest you, if Radio happened to be your hobby. If dreams hold your interest you can't afford to miss reading a drama of such exquisite beauty and grace as Edna St. Vincent Millay's "King's Heachman." In these days of sunny weather and gentle breeze the mountains and beaches are beckoning to anyone. If your hobby isiking, how much you you'd enjoy the hike, if you had the May sunshine, or the National Geographic with its two hundred colored plates to help identify the gay variety of wild flowers along the way. Or, if the ocean waves seem more rough, Aristotle's "Beachach at Nebula will help you to identify these shells you carried home from the beach because you thought that they were pretty or unusual. Anywhere in California the hobby appears and so you have a number of the same hardy shells, if so, Johnson's "Mary arder with my cousin," or Callier "The sunshine Photographer's Mime skill" might give you new interest here. : sce Nee a eee - —__— pie Beer oe eS eee ee spnembieats tase etch : €; hig fete yout a1 TT Tn aa LOS ANGELES, CAMP =e ree <a.

THE KARATE KIDS THE favorable position of Los Angeles in the matter of gas service is shown by the following reprint from the "General Industrial Report of Los Angeles County, California", prepared and issued by the Industrial Department, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce: California ranks first among the states in the production of natural gas and oil. Over 96 percent of the production is in the fourteen Counties comprising Southern California and 64 percent of it comes from the great oil fields of which 50% Angeles is the center. Natural gas, with 8 most values in excess of 1100 B. T. U.'s per cubic foot, is used. It is 10.000 of the biggest, most efficient and easily handled of all美利坚 As natural gas in California is available only in Southern California, this gives to industry a great advantage over districts where only artificial gas is available, as such gas has a great value usually of only 560 B. T. U.'s. DOMESTIC GAS EATES The following rates apply to natural gas for domestic uses. (Rates are per meter per month.) First 4,000 on. 2t.....926 per 1000 ou. ft. Next 11,000.....656 Next 25,000.....766 All Over 40,000.....726 "The hope of the future of any city is in the children of today," a wise man once said. If you doubt it, look at Ted O'Nelll or Kiddle Koop. Two years ago the people of Los Angeles, through the Community Chest, made an investment in lore and kindness when they took little Ted, friendless and homeless waft, to their hearts and gave him a home at Kiddie Koop. Young as he was, Ted felt a resentment towards life. Felt that he had had an unfair start, that there was something wrong when he was hungry most of the time and that his clothes, were not so clean and not so whole as those of other children he saw, at play. But after Ted was at Kindle Koop a while his outlook on life began to change. He learned to laugh and be happy. He learned about health and cleanliness. He learned that "someone cared" about friendless and homeless boys and girls. And then, one day, Ted realized that he was no longer friendless and homeless. That where other boys had but one father and mother, in the great loving hearts of the people of Los Angeles he had a Great father father, and Great mother who would not have one child suffer while they had no much. So through the Community Chest, Ted had become one of the hopes of the city. Every dollar given to the Community Chest will help others like Ted to future citizenship, for "the hope of the future of any city is in the children of today." Business College Moves Into its Beautiful New Home The Cosmopolitan School of Commerce, formerly located at 851% Central Ave., has moved into its new home at 1966 Santa Ana Blvd., one block East of Wilmington Ave., in the Watts district. The public is cordially invited to visit the school, and to discuss with the manager, Charles H. Palmer, any question concerning the new summer classes in business and literary work, the installation of bookkeeping system, the keeping and auditing of books and any phase of multigraphing and stenography which has served the general public so well during the last two years. The school's rapid growth during these two years has necessitated more space, and its new home has been selected with the idea of a more desirable location for study and class work, while the public will be given its same efficient and convenient service it has enjoyed heretofore. It has erected its new building with this thought in mind. All work called for and delivered Phone: DELLAWARE 1452. Get your pretty sports clothes ready for Wednesday evening, August 17th. OW Figures Chicago, Aug. 1.—The local lodges of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, are 'rapidly consumating plans for the entertainment of 100,000 members of the order, who are supposed to gather here August 13-20, to attend the Twenty-fourth Biennial Session of the Supreme Lodge. The order boasts of some 400,000 members and resources amounting to $10,000,000.00 including real estate, fraternal endowment reserve and high grade bonds. Of particular interest in this respect is the National Pythian Temple, which is being erected at a cost of $1,000,000.00 here at 37th Place and State Street. No stone has been left unturned to assure, Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, the other supreme officers and the delegates of the best entertainment and the greatest convention in the history of the order. A program that bids fair to eclipse all others has been formulated and every detail taken care of according to Dr. Allen A. Wesley, grand chancellor of the State of Illinois. Chicago, long famous as the convention city of the world, intends to outdo itself when the Pythians arrive and all business places will be thrown open to the delegates. The parks, amusement houses, club-houses, fraternity houses and the renown "Chicago hospitality" will join hands to make the stay of the Pythians enjoyable and memorable. A program including business sessions and entertainment features have been worked out, so that it will be PERGOLA PRO 2800 CENT We serve our customer groceries, vegetables, fresh Our prices are the lowest o reasonable distance deliver A trial wil convince you HUmbolt 2523-M.

Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 2.—Robert Lynch, age 50, was exonerated by the police Monday for the killing of an aged white man, who staggered into his home late Saturday night and whom he shot for a burglar. The white man was identified as J. W. Harris of Georgia, Monday morning. Lynch informed the police that he has been troubled with burglaries on two occasions during the past two weeks and his home was robbed Thursday night. Sunday night he was awakened by sounds of some breaking in. Selizing his revolver, he went to investigate and saw a man hovering in the darkness. He ordered him to throw up his hands which the intruder failed to do and be fired. After the shooting, Lynch noticed the officers who responded after several hours and found the dead white man. Lynch was taken into custody but was freed at the coroner's inquest when a verdict of justifiable homicide was returned. Mrs. Geo. W.

Mrs. Deatherage, pretty and accomplished, was formerly a prominent Chicago society girl, and her marriage to the dashing officer was widely heralded in Eastern papers, it is said. According to reports, after a whirlwind courtship the couple married and came West, and for a time, lived at the Bronx, but shortly afterwards a rift appeared in the marital lute, and the couple became estranged. Mrs. Deatherage is represented by Attorney Curtis C. Taylor. Mrs. E. A. Bomar of San Diego, Cal., Recording Secretary of the Women's State Federation, was the house guest of Mrs. C. F.

Amid proper settings, Miss Warren received a telephone order for flowers, informed her father, of the details, who, after an interval, he brought forth 'an exquisitely artistic spray—the finished order.

Barr, Executive Secretary of the Los Angeles branch of the National Urban League, announces that plans are being completed for the sixth annual camp for needy mothers, and children to be held in the Pacific Palisades near Santa Monica, August 19, until September 2.

A library and reading room will offer increased facilities to mothers and students and standard periodicals will be found on the tables. Local ministers, educators, and professional men will be present to give lectures at the evening Assembly on personal health, mental efficiency, personality, and allied subjects. A camp mother will be nominated who will divide the camp into smaller groups who will receive special lectures suitable for the mothers, boys and girls or different ages. An athletic field having a 440 track and standard equipment lies adjacent to the camp.

August 2.—With the holding of the Elk Convention in New York City a certainty, harmony once more reigns in Elkdom and everybody seems happy once more. The way for the holding of the convention was made when the injunction which restrained Negro members of the order from the use of regalia of the order and which was the "bone of contention," was temporarily lifted. Large, airy rooms and apartments—New furniture and fixtures—Hot and Cold running water and all modern conveniences. The New Yorkers are happy, now that the convention will be held in Manhattan and their happiness is shared by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, who is almost assured of re-election, in spite of the reports and rumors which circulated that he did not want to go to New York because he feared defeat in his efforts to be re-elected. The amicable settlement of the trouble which at one time threatened to split the Elk ranks, came after the opposing factions had toured the country setting forth "their side, of the case." The Grand Exalted Ruler was upholding his action in changing the convention to Cleveland and the New Yorkers were equally as active in urging the Elks to meet in New York as first decided and "showing wherein the convention would not be effected by the Grattan Law and the injunction." PAY RENT TO YOURSELF! The following person has acted wisely: "SOLD"—TO MR. FLOYD MOORE, THE PROPERTY AT 980 E. 40TH STREET. Now that everything is settled and everybody is happy, all hands are turning to the task of making the convention a success. There's the opinion among some of the officials that the attendance will be affected by the many changes that have been made in the place of meeting, while others declare that the Elks will meet in a large number, wherever the convention is held and at whatever time. Friends, this is to express my appreciation of the cooperation given me the last three weeks. My sales, rentals and loans have increased greatly. When you patronize me, you help yourself.

WATCH FOR THE REAL CROOKS In this Community the same as many others we have in our midst men and women who aspire for leadership and in so doing they can see nothing good in anybody else save and except themselves will dare to start a movement; they immediately endeavor to start up an anvil chorus to drown it out. This species of citizen will stoop to anything to gain their objective. They are invariably double crossers and hypoocrites, they will laugh in your face and stab you in the back. They will denounce everybody except themselves as fakirs and grafters and at the same time do all the faking and grafting themselves that it is possible to do. Their holler that the other fellow is a crook is just a smoke screen to call attention from them.

WHAT AB OUT IT? BOYER, T. WASHINGTON ABRAHAM LINCOLN FRED DOUGLAS P. E. SPRINGA ```markdown ``` MAKING GOOD MAKE IT $4000 Well or all things! There seems to be a concerted effort to put the preachers in the place that they should occupy—Spiritual Leaders. Too much mass cannot be laid against their activities in other spheres to the utter disregard of that most potent factor—Religion. The writer even go so far as to陪 them fight against racial progress, we cannot go so far. We believe that they occupy or are a cog in the wheel of racial progress, and as long as they don't alip that cog the wheel will function properly. If the preachers of the Race are losing caste it is their own fault—"You cannot serve God and Mammon" must be practiced as well as preached. To be an Ambassador or Christ is one of the most valuable contributions to civilization. To humanity. But it necessitates sacrifice. This newer generation cannot see why they should contribute heavily to those "who toll not, neither do they spin." Really, you cannot blame them for some of the preachers are too lazy to prepare an intellectual discourse, and are proficient only in the art of begging two or three collections. The appointment of former U. S. Marshal, Hollohan, as Warden of the prison of San Quentin, came as a surprise to even the "knows." Since he vacated the post of U. S. Marshal he has been Sheriff of Santa Cruz. As a Peace Officer, the Warden has a number of memories when by his cool alertness he endured tragedy by the killing of the Hindu, Sinh, who had shot one of his countrymen, in a U. S. Courtroom, crowded with spectators. In his politics he is registered Democrat, but he is an ardent admirer of Senator Hiram Johnson. The appointment was made by the Board of Prison Directors. As the time draws near for the reorganization or the State government to function the Governor names his appointments to head the several Departments. The two most recent being P. G. Steven of Cavaleras and Dr. Walter Dickie of Los Angeles. They head the division of Natural Resources, and Public Health, respectively. The Division of Steven comprises mines and mining, forestry, parks, fish and game. Both these appointments, as the others which have served in the past, are criticalism. Gov. Young has been very fortunate in obtaining the service for the State of men of high character and splendid calibre. Now; there is representative Carr, Los Angeles, selected to fill the vacancy on the Railway Commission. Just and fair-minded. One of the pet phrases used by Carr in the legislative debates was, "Now, let us be fair in this matter." It was for him the soubriquette of "Let us be fair Carr." He will bring to the Railway Commission that same sense of fairness. Then there is State Printer, Chas. A. Whitmore, who is ably demonstrating the practical business of the big plant on 11th and "O" Sts. In all, the Governor shown splendid judgment in his selection of aldes. "Judge Lynch" is still in the spotlight. Mob murders are becoming no common that they fail to create comment. It is a bad sign—not so much as to those affected by the crimes directly—when the people become so calloused in perpetration of crime—nurders and burnings—that they fail to awake interest. Such laxity is a sure sign of decadence. The Roman Empire was on the decline when Nero began his reign. "The wheels of the gods grind slowly." Thank the Christian God! The new generation of the Negro is discarding the "turn the other cheek" admonition and even in the face of certain death is beginning to strike back. Fight! Sometimes it takes a club to force the fact into the craniums of some who fail to realize that there is a big difference between civility and servility; courtesy and submissiveness. When it has to be done, we recommend the club. OUTRAGED (Continued from page 1) ens was drawn, Atty. Macheth then quizzed hi min this manner. Q. Were you present at a meeting of the trustees May 19, 1922? A. Yes. Q. Do you remember of having seen People's exhibit "A" at that meeting? A. I do. Q. Was this particular lease dis- cussed? A. I don't know. Q. Was the object of the lease to give Mr. Bessonette police power? A. I don't know. And this particular personage even though he was a city trustee, was as dum as an oyster concerning the city's business. City Marshal, John F. Garvan was next called. He was the last minute in belts and spurs with a great gun he had in his right hand. He face a dingy red and a voice less musical than a fog horn on a stormy night easily made him the most trying ordeal for those who looked and listened. Q. Were you present July 17th when these four defendants were arrested? shot Atty, Macbeth. A. I A. Two of them were in the water the others-standing on the beach. Q. How far were they from the wa- A. About 25 feet. Q. Did you show them the lease? A. Yes. Q. What did they say? A. Said they did not care about the lease because it was not worth the paper it was written on. Q. Then did you tell them to lease? A. I did. Q. Did they go? A. No. Q. What was said? A. One of them insisted that they did not want to go off the beach said he would rather be locked up and make an issue of it. Q. Was there any disorder conduct on the part of any of the defendants? A. There was much talking. Q. What finally happened? A. We took the four men to jail, and they all, except this man, Conly, paid the $10.00 ball require. Q. How many colored people were on the beach at the time of the arrests? A. About fifteen or twenty. Q. What became of them. A. They went away. Cout adjourned for noon recess at this point. AFTERNOON SESSION Court was called at 1:2 P. M. and police officer Haddock was called up on to testify. Q. Where do you live. A. In Manhattan. Q. How long have you been a resident of Manhattan? A. Four years. Q. On or about July 11th were you and doe? A. I was. Q. Did you see any of these defendants on or about that late? A. I did. Q. Where? A. At the foot or 26th street. Q. Did you say anything to them? A. Yes. Q. What if anything did you say? A. I told them that they would have to stay off the beach. Q. Did they leave? A. No, we had to take them away. Q. What time was it? A. About 7 o'clock in the evening. Q. Who was sporesman? A. That man (printing to Dr. Hudson), I believe his name is Hudson. Q. Did you have orders from Mr Bessonette? Q. When the refused to gc what happened? A. We arrested them and lodged them in fall. And at this juncture the Prosecution rested its case. To our mind, without proving anything other than that a conspiracy had been formed by a class of illiterate white Americans and the authorities of Manhattan who wanted to reck their project, we must admit that section, who apparently are making greater economic progress than they are. ATTY. MACBETH. IN THE LEAD At this point the mock court was turned over to Atty. Macbeth. He called as his first witness John F. Jones, one of Manhattan's lukewarm trustees. Q. Are you a trustee of Manhattan? A. I am. Q. In what class is Manhattan? A. Class 6, Certificate 2000. Q. Calling your attention to Oscar C. Bassett, I wish to ask if they authorised by the board of trustees of Manhattan? A. Yes. Q. Was there any publication of said lease? A. I don't know. (Later) I think nok Q. Did he ever pay one dollars? To this question came an emphatic, "I object," from the City Attorney and the objection was as readily sustained by ye hondrable judge, who however never lifted his drooping eyelids while sustaining. Q. Did you put Oscar C. Bessonette in possession of property. A. I delivered the lease. Q. Assuming that Bessonette justified that you put him in possession of property in question would that be? A. I don't know. And just inquiry to a string of similar questions waged by Atty. Macbeth there came from Mr. Jones the a Chemiia and knew nothing about real estate; was present when the said assonette lease was drawn, but did it know whether or not it was deemed to keep Colored folk off the bead. Mahwah's water inspector, Carl D. Edwits, also a thaunte, was placed on the land and asked to examine the lease. Q. What a true statement of what transpired when this lease was made, he was asked. A. Yes. G. Geo. Belvan, a happer young lawyer, sitting and trin in a bright gray suit, ok the stand. Q. What is your occupation? asked by Macbeth. A attorney-at-law, was the crisp answer. Q Are you a Christian gentleman? Te court gassed because the attorney with the rather overgrown red neck went up in smoke, feeling that he had been grossly insulted. City. Macbeth very gently withdrew question, and once more the skip of Dr. Henry C. Mudson, president of a National Association was called. Q What is your name? Q. Were you at Manhattan Beach, July 17th? A. I was. Q. Did you see these other defendants? A. I did. "Well," continued Atty. Macbeth, "tell the Court what happened at that time." In a well-measured voice, untinged with any emotion, Dr. Hudson testified that while out driving, he stopped by Manhattan about 5 o'clock on the evening of July 17th. Seeking the office, he went where they were on the immediate water edge to ascertain what was going on. I asked these officers, present here, what, if anything, was the trouble? They answered that that was private property, and the Colored people should follow the line of least resistance. "But," said I, "the Negroes did not do this in the world war. If they had they would have scampered off to the backwoods claiming conscientious objection, but instead they wen even to the front lines." But in answer to my argument these officers insisted that unless we moved on they would have to arrest us. I asked on what charge? "Resisting an officer" was the response. "But we are not resisting." I insisted, "and that is rather a serious charge." But to no avail did I argue. We were hustled off to jail. The other defendants were J. H. Conley, Romolious Johnson and John McCaskill, who testified that he was a property owner at Manhattan, and a tax payer; that on July 17th for no other cause than bathing in the ocean he had been arrested and thrown in jail in is bating suit for which offense he was seeking redress from the only source from which he could expect fair play. Others who testified for the defense were Mrs. Sarah Hall and Mrs. Mattie Johnson. The four defendants and the other defense witnesses gave practically the same testimony as to what occurred on the beach July 17th. When both defense and prosecution had exhausted their witness supply, the judge turned to the City Attorney and to Attorney Macbeth, asking if they had any closing remarks, and for a minute or two the all-wise City Attorney who very likely knew before hand just how the case would pan out, he insisted that Atty Macbeth take the floor; Mr. Macbeth, smiling, waved the honor, and the judge insisted that Mr. Macbeth should address the waiting assemblage he did so with honor and credit to his profession, to his race and to his country. In part, while pointing to the American flag that hung over the judge's head, he said: "I am not here to defend any race, or color or creed; but the Stars and Stripes—the honor and integrity of my country. I charge this trustee board and other authorities of Manhattan with frand, and with concocting a scheme under the guise of the law by which they may discriminate against a certain class or people—Negroes—in this community, many of whom are property owners at Manhattan and a loyal American. "Who, your honor, the whole thing reeks with fraud, and deception, and is a blot on Americanism." The only sign of feeling displayed by his honor, the judge, was the redening of neck and face as he sat beneath the fiery darts of Atty. Macbeth, who, in his handling of this case demonstrates utter unselfishness in defending the defenseless. In closing his remarks Atty. Macbeth said that our contention is that this board of trustees had no right to give away the property in question. In deciding the case the judge invited the defense's attention to section 416 of the Penal Code. Each defendant was found guilty, and had to furnish $200.00 cash or $500 property bond pending an appeal # FEDERATION The evening session marked the closing of a three-day successful meeting with Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, third vice-president, presiding.

SPRT PAGE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF CALIFORNIA EAGLE COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES VOLUME 41 KILRAIN VS. E UPPER- CUTS & BLOCKS BY: HARRY LEVETTE McCARTY. AND O'MALLEY. ONE a trainer or athletes. THE OTHER a writer on athletics, etc., in the L. A. Times. FROM their names you may judge they have the proverbial Irish wit, and they are full-of tales. "Now I'll tell one," says Jerry, and "now I'll tell one," says O'Malley. JERRY McCARTY told of two preliminary fighters who attracted the attention of spectators by stopping in the midset of the slugging to talk. "What are they saying?" asked one spectator of another. "Oh, they are only apologizing to each other when they miss hitting each other," came the answer. SPEAKING of apologies, the Central Avenue fans will be busy apologizing for our own Mushy it. he fell to put Sergeant Baker in the guardhouse when they meet at Wrigley Field. Mushy is well liked by the colored fans. He ran barefooted as a kid along the Avenue, went to school, played and fought with them and they are all 100% behind him. Clisby Proves Himself Mack House's Master As Watson Burns the manager of Mack House reluctantly admitted "Neler has another great boy in the same ifornia Bear." And although Watson further adds by way of detraction that Neil has never knocked out anyone but Mack, yet if he is the great fighter he was thought to be then that means a lot to knock out the king of them all. At any rate the main bout at Murrie Cohan's Pasadena arena last Thursday reads something like this: Round 1—They shake hands. House leads with light left jab to head; follows up with left hook. Clisby steps inside, crosses to right to jaw, Mack's legs sag, Clisby shoots hard right to jaw—and Mack goes down and way out. Time 1 minute, 15 seconds. This makes the second time within the month that Clisby has turned the trick for Mack so Neil will have to be fed some heavier. JIMMIE BLACK A GREAT BOY Tom Jones the wise champion maker has onther great boy in the same stable with Nell. This is Jimmy Black who fought the semi-windup against one of the foxlest and trickless little old gentlemen that ever fought 15 years with hardly a mark. This was Ralph Lincoln. For all his smartness Jimmy boxed rings around him and can knock him out any time he will fight instead of hold and run. Jimmy starred the card at Wilmington, Wednesday night. ANNOUNCING!

But often stealing the show on the bills in which he fights he is rapidly drawing the attention tht will give him, even though just a kid at the top of the heap and in main hosts only. The card follows: Along Fisticuffs Row THE DAILY RECORD last Thursday said that Mack House had the "big head" just before the first Clisby bout. These dailies will speak right out! Perhaps the faithful colored weeklies ought to do so too; it would help the game. CHEPNEY MILLER is now under the management of Tom Scott. His contract, was offered one day last week for $600. That colored boy shows great promise. His contract may be worth $5000 in another year. JIMMY HARRISON! Did you see that boy go at Pasadena last week. He had a tough opponent in Brad St Charles who still trie dto fight punchdrunk but Jimmy finally finished him. He belongs to Cherokee Tom Scott. BABY GANS is popular because he never brags and never underrates the man he has fought or is going to fight. Everybody likes the clean-cut Baby Joe. EAGLE THOMAS has fully recovered from a touch of rheumatism and is signing up for several matches. Now there is as good, willing and straight a little bantam that one would wish to see, but he fails to get the matches he deserves. RUDY STEINER and the "Ace of Spades" were the cause of the Sports Editor missing two weinie bakes, ar auto ride, a couple of whist tournaments, and a "petting party," Satur day night.

And California is a wonderful field for their efforts. BLACKIE MILLER has charge of the training or a boy whom he claims will be the coming featherweight champion. This is Paul Kelly.

Among those he met were "Pop" Hubely, Jack Russel, Carlo Curtis, "Pop" Nelles, George Brown, Johnny Forbes, Wirt Ross, Mr. Winston, co-manager with Tom Jones and many others. He voted them all a fire lot of sportsmen and regretted not meeting Si Masters, Jack Doyle, Dick Donald and other bright stars of the sport world he had heard of. He will return soon with Battling Dozier. Wichita, Kans., July 15, 1927. MR. J. B. BASS, Editor, California Eagle, Los Angeles, Cal. My dear friend Joe: This will introduce to you Mr. J. W. Doran, a fellow citizen of our town, in whom we all have a deep interest and place the most implicit confidence. He is a square shooter and his life reflects the noble words of the famous Scotch bard, "A man's a man for a that." He has been interested in the fight game for several years and has several boys of our group in his care, who seem to be making it to the top of the ladder in the fight game, especially are we impressed with the possibilities of Battling Dozler, a fighting demon of this burg. They all think well of him for he has always given and demanded for them a square deal and protected their interests at all hazards. Mr. Doran is a man of strictest integrity and if you will put him in touch with a few of the worthwhile men in the fight game in your locality, I will consider it a personal favor and thank you for the same, giving you my fullest assurance than any courtesy shown him will be worthily bestowed. Thanking you in advance, with best wishes for your success and prosperity, I am with kindest regards. Your old friends, W. A. BETTIS.

Bath Day Bouts at Main St. Club Send You Home Early Those Saturday night fights at the Main St. Club were the most If there is any doubt as to how strong the betting is on the Dog Races at Tia Juanna now, in the midst of the season, one has only to take a look in to see there is even sharper betting. There is one thing sure, you can't frame a dog or buy his jockey. He has none; just runs, that's all. A track record was smashed to bits when Gold Leaf, Virt G. Bowman's brindle dog, took the Pantages Theater Stakes, going the quarter mile in 25.45 seconds. Gold Leaf, a consistent winner at the stadium, was slightly overlooked by the clockers and had a good reward for his backers. Miracle Man, the favorite; was second by three lengths. AUGUST 1967 Concerning Mr. Norman Hartford's article in the Referee commending the attitude of good Negro sports towards comedian boxers, this is an artist's conception of how small big George Godfrey would look beside the late Bert Williams, a real comedian. Every man to his trade. Who Should Meet La Barba For The Championship? With Mr. George Blake, now with us again, and his great little champion, Fidel La Barba, on his way home, it is interesting to read the pro's and com's, as to whom will meet Fidel for his title before he quits the game to enter College. According to talk heresbouts, one would believe that we on the Coast, had very little knowledge of things juglistically. Just *l'm a g!t!e* 'the thoughts* a the minds of those in the game, the other side of the Rockies, when they read that we only know of three men that can fight in the flyweight class, Fidel La Barba, Newsboy Brown and Johnny Vace, when every man in the game should know that Vace is a legitimate bantam, while at the real weight of 112 pounds. Brown would be more fit to enter a hospital than entering the ring to fight for a title, and to mention that either Brown or Vace, is booked to meet La Barba, for the title, would only be fooling the fight fans.

Steiner, after being knocked down in the second round, brought into play his cyclone walkp, knocking Aguilar down for the count in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round. He went down for the last time, giving to Steiner. 23 knocks ut f 30 fights. Aguilar put up a good fight displaying to the fans that he could stand plenty rough treatment. This was one of the best fights ever staged by Carlo Curtis, manager of the Main St. A. C. Steiner carries a knockout in either hand and enjoys the reputation of having more power in his wallop than any boy his weight in the fighting game. Since Steiner entered the main event spotlight he has successfully knocked out every man he has met. Steiner is rated as being the toughest kid that ever entered the ring. In Steiner you may anticipate only one thing and that is a real light from the sound of the gong. Stelner is being handled by Johannes Forbes, one or the world's greatest trainers as he is known as the trainer and handler of of champions. Forbes says he has today the only Mack House reluctantly admits, *Nell Stelner* is under the management of Carl Bradshaw, known to the sporting world throughout the country. LIGHTNING DAVIS IS BACK IN THE GAME A COLORFUL FIGHTER Fighters usually wait until they are old to start a "comeback" but not so with Lightning Davis, the fast 130 pound boy that Wm. Robertson has spotted for a clean up in California and parts East, North and South, Davis is not coming back from a slump or a discard but only from the movies in which he has been working since he gained that expressive name of "Lightning" by his quick, snappy punching and dazzling footwork that tickled the fans pink a couple of years ago when he boxed at the various clubs, though only kid. Now just starting in his 20's, he is "right as a fox" and is dodging no one from 130 to 135. youngster or.

Speed Martin can evermore float over some slow motion balls for the L.A. batters. Looks like the old red dog has a sweet pitcher in Martin. "Moose" Muskowits is in love with the Los Angeles weather. He says it is great. Silver said Moose looks like a Mexican Jew. How about it Moose? August 9th, you will see the fighting Oaks and handmade Billie Burke with his $1000 infield. He is learning Fenton the art of self defense. We use hay around in the winter time Jack, but keep your boxing trunks off the canvas. THEATRE street x----x FOR ALL THE FAMILY x----x are Entertainment. Programs saturday and Saturday THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF ART HAMILTON Jeak Dampsey was successful in his comeback. He demonstrated in the 80,000 rabid fight fans in New York on the 21st, that he was 100% better than he was last September. He made a bad start letting Sharkey get the jump on him in the first three rounds, but from the 4th on the ex-champ seemed to go stronger. Dempsey is still la terrific hitter, but he has lost his speed. Sharky undoubtedly will rise again to the top of the heap and Dempsey may pull the unexpected in September when he fights Gehe Tunne. But, giving Dempsey all due credit for being a great show man and, probably the greatest hitter of all times, there is, I think, a fighter who not only could like the great Dempsey and also the gabby gob from Boston, but the world's heavyweight champion—this fighter is George Godfrey. Godfrey lacks one thing that would make him a greater fighter than Dempsey was in his prime—a fighting heart. He packs a mighty wallop in both hands, our friend Sharky can testify to this. Sharky was laid up for three weeks from the body beating Godfrey gave him when they fought in Boston three months ago. Buckley, Sharky's manager said outright that one manager bout was plenty when Godfrey asked for a rematch. Godfrey is in the East now seeking a match with Pauline Uzuden the conquerer of Harry Wills. There is room at the top or static circles for a lot of colored talent just at the present. Negroes are not doing much in a static way just now. There are very few seriously-taken contenders for any of the titles. Big George Godfrey is the only heavyweight worth mentioning. Fighting Bob Lawson was knocked out of static limelight the other day when Paul Berlenbach staging a comeback knocked him out in the seventh. Old Tiger Flowers was robbed of his title in Chicago and there doesn't seem to be much of a chance for a rematch. Jack Kearns is too smart for that. Bruce Flowers was flattened by a third rater in New York last week so that lets him out of the lightweight picture. Baby Joe Gans has yet to meet a fighter that will show his real worth. Santiago Zorilla would give Bud Taylor a whale of a battle but his nationality is classed as Indian. So folks, to make a long story short, there is a fairly lucrative job open in static circles for some aspiring young Sennegambain. BABY JCE GANS the Young Master is slated to take Dick Ramles to a boxing school at the San Diego Coliseum. Saturday night. Ramles is very smart but Gans is smarter. TRAINING at the MANHATTAN A. C. this week are: Harry (Kld) Brown, Mike O. Leary, Leary Cooper, Joe Hudson, Bobby Pierce, Twain Mark, and Benny Cavex. HAS NEW CONNECTICUT TRAINING CAMP BY: FAIR DEAL "Fighters Who Fight" has become a popular slogan with boxing managers in all parts of the country now but few folks know that Walk Miller, the originator of same, is one of the few who really bends his best efforts to see that his warriors live up to it. Miller's idea is that any man who goes to the proper conditioned, is obtaining money under false pretenses. Therefore in order to see that his own never had any such-experiences, he bought a large farm down near Atlanta, Ga., of many acres and set about to have it transformed into a Health Farm, not in name only but in reality. After equipping it throughout with the very best athletic pharaphalia that could be obtained, his gym is second to none in the U. S., it has high ceiling, windows that almost entirely surround it, letting in sunshine and fresh air and hot and cold showers as well. Miller sent for Dr. Carl J. Studer to come over from El Paso and take charge or it. However, due to the fact that so many of his boys are boxing in the North and East, Miller found it was a little inconvenient to have them down there so far away, consequently he established another Health Farm nearer and selected Norwalk, Conn, as the place to locate. Studer, one of the very best conditioners in the game, who understands anatomy from all angles and who is supervisor over all their training. He also has imported a chef to see that they are only allowed to eat the food that is best for them and the ole Doc is one strict boss. It is rumored about on the Frivolous Fifties that Tex Rickard is contemplating staging a bout between Mickey Walker and Tiger Flowers on the eve or the Dempsey-Sharkey tracas. The joyless Georgian is hoping this is not just another one of those things. Old Diogenes, had he lived today would have tossed his lanter min the subway howling lion gand loud for a secilishly hopeless queen. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce has given a beautiful trophy cup which will be the perpetual prize. Other trophies will be given for the golf, tennis and basketball tournaments which the City Engineers are planning to develop with the other engineers during 1928. The City Engineers have planned an elaborate reception for the Bay City Boys. On August 5th they will hold an auto parade in the downtown section. Many of the cities' prominent athletic individuals, movie stars, and the Bureau of Power and Light Bank will feature the affair. The Bureau band of 50 pieces will also be on hand to furnish music at the ball game. When the Bay City squad arrives they, will be ascerted, to their headquarters at the Clark Hotel by a delegation of fifty, prominent engineers, under the leadership of City Engineer Shaw. Due to the fire which completely destroyed Maier Park, the engineers were forced to change the location of the meet to the White Sox Ball Park. Over four thousand tickets have been sold. The engineers report that due to the added interest of Jack Dempsey announcing his intent to referee the boxing match they are hard pressed to handle the flood of requests for tickets that are pouring in. Arrangements with the Police Department have been made to detail a large squad of officers to handle the crowd. Tommy Carter, Ask Engineer, and ex-lightweight champion of the Pacific Coast, is scheduled to box four rounds with Freddie Miller, of the San Francisco Engineers. Miller is well known in Bay City Amateur boxing circles. During spare time, Tommy has worked put in the old Stable under Eddie Decker. He is ready for the mill and his old K. O. wallop is still good. He expects to take the measure of Miller in a couple of rounds. Jck Dempsey has promised to referee this bout. BRAND NEW REVUE GOES ON BILL THIS WEEK Another great Saturday night with many special features, a great Monday well spent and beginning with Thursday, August 4th the Palm Garden has the opening of a brand new revue. Headed by Ivy Anderson, long or Sebastian's Cotton Club; Dorothy Yoes, of the same revue, Ernestine Porter; Dorothy Williams, Ethel Stevens and Clara Porter of Fachon and Marcos the patrons, will be given a rare treat in the new and snappy program lined up for them. The management, Mr. Mosby and Mr. Shaw are to be given much credit for their successful efforts in giving to the amusement-seeking public of Los Angeles and its environs, a real high-class evening's entertainment at any time. The music as dispensed by "Mosby's Dixieland Blue Blowers" is the peer of any orchestra in this section, and for that matter, anywhere. Mr. Curtis Carpentier, the genial and courteous House Manager, has gained many friends for the Bronx Palm Garden through his complete knowledge of the cabaret business, and his persistent efforts to see that his guests are at all times well cared for and most comfortable. Visit the Bronx Palm Garden, you don't have to be lonely in the big town! Mystic Order of Wisemen Have Beautiful and Impressive Opening On last Friday evening, the Mystic Order of Wise Men of the East and West, the ancient Egyptian Order which has been organised in this city, made its formal opening to the public at their newly remodeled and beautifully decorated hall, corner of Washington and Central avenue. The program and ceremonies marking their opening, were both beautiful and impressive, and met with a hearty and enthusiastic response by those who attended. The ceremonial flair appeared in full uniform and regalia and marched to the rostrum down an aisle covered with canvas and lined on either side with a row of uniformed guards equipped with sabre, shields and spears. Dr. Wilbur C. Gordon, supreme grand examiner of the Order, acted as Master of Ceremonies. A paper giving the aims and meals of the order was read by Mrs. Green, and the chief address of the evening was delivered by Mr. Hugh Gordon on "A Peep into the Past," giving a brief history of the Negro or Hamitic Race, and tracing the Negro's lineage back to Abraham. Mr Gordon's address was a masterpiece both in information and delivery. Four beautiful musical selections rendered by the famous Bibrow Ladies' Quartette, and two vocal selections charmingly rendered by Mrs. Emma Smith, soloist, were the musical treats of the evening. After the ceremonies and program were over, the guests, were served to delicious punch, and spent the remainder of the evening in dance, placing their final stamp of approval on the Wise Men for their beautiful dance floor and spacious hall. The hall was beautifully and tastefully decorated in streamers of blue and orange lights, carrying out the official colors of the Order, and in festivals and garlands of yellow flower and palm, the door of the stage being covered with a carpet of grass. All decorations, were in charge of Ralphie W. Porter of Flow erland Studio. (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Ill., August 1—Heroism and tragedy mingled here Friday afternoon when the lake stained. The Favorite, loaded with women and children was struck by a squall one mile from North Pier and sank into Lake Michigan. The catastrophe, which was likened to the tragic sinking of Lakeland here twelve years ago, resulted in the death of about thirty women and children. Vying with the heroic efforts of divers, swimmer and crews on launches to save the women and children, who were struggling in the water, were the efforts of John C. Butler and John Jones. Colored musicians, to calm the panic stricken women and children. Facing death, these two heroic musicians stuck to their post, playing "Four Leaf Clover" until swept into the lake by the storm. Both were rescued by a motor launch. Butler Tells Story John C. Butler, when questioned concerning the tragedy told the following story of the affair: "The Favorite was Midway between the pier in Lincoln Park and the Municipal Pier," he said, "A squall came up. At first there was a terrific wind. We were all looking for rain. "Ominous black clouds had gathered. Still, my partner, John Jones, who plays the mandolin and myself, playing a banjo continued to sturm the side of the boat. "We thought we could calm the eighty passengers. Most of them were women. There were a dozen babies with these women passengers. "Well, when the rain finally came along, everybody dashed for the East side of the boat. There is no sawing anywhere on the boat." "The weight of the passengers on the East side of the boat caused it to sink. There were only two life boats and a raft on the ship. The captain, who had his wife and daughter aboard, tried to launch the life saving boats. They only managed to get one afloat. Women were screaming and yelling to the captain, who had her go down clutching her infant to her breast. Another woman deliberately hurried her baby into the boat that was floated when she found there was no room for her. I believe she was drowned. "There are only two decks on the Favorite. After the squail came up, I tried to gain the upper deck. As the boat tilted, I was pitched into the water. I don't know how I was rescued." Mr. Butler had gone down the third time before he was picked up/by rescues, and his partner had made the second trip beneath the water before he was saved. Shriners Prepare For Annual Convention (By: A. N. P.) Newark, N. J., Aug. 3—This city will be the grip of one of the most significant and spectacular conventions ever held here from August 93, through August 31st, according to the proclamation issued by Imperial Tentate Caesar Blake, Jr., which designates 28th annual conclave of the ancient Egyptian Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, affiliated with Prince Hall Masonry, will be held here. According to a statement issued by J. A. Jackson, imperial publicist, 122 temples, aggregating a membership of 15,000 Masons of the higher degree, will be represented at the sessions here with Golgonda Temple, No. 24, as the host. The 15,000 Nobles are selected from the Knights Templar and Scottish Rites Masons of the $230 degrees militant branch of the Masonic fraternity. He is the most heavily 690,000 Master, Masons of the affiliation that has grown out of the lodge established by Prince Hall in Boston in revolutionary days. Mississippi Delta Region Faces New Menace COLORED FLOOD REHABILITATION COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM COLORED REFUGEES (By: A. N. P.) Jackson, Miss, Aug. 3—In a statement issued Monday, Dr. F. L. Underwood, State Health Officer, declared that the Mississippi Delta is threatened by a serious outbreak of pellagra, due chiefly to the lack of a sufficient milk supply. At the time the Health Officer made his statement, there were several cases, but no deaths had been reported. The physician however, said that unless the situation is remedied at the earliest, the deaths and suits would follow. Already many cases of insanity have been caused by the ravages of the disease. In this section, as in all of the flood area, the majority of inhabitants are Negroes, who till the soil as farm owners, renters, tennant farmers and as share-croppers, and are therefore the chief sufferers. These people lost most or their cows along with other property when the Mississippi River swept over its banks leaving in its wake, destruction and death. Pellagra seems to attack poor whites more readily than Negroes but every precaution is being used and efforts made to provide an adequate milk supply, by replacing the cows, which were swept away. The Red Cross has arranged to have members of the Colored Flood Rehabilitation Commission of which Dr. R. R. Moton is chairman, investigate all the complaints arising from colored people which involve discrimination or mistreatment in any way. In the investigations required in the several states, President Joseph S. Clark of Southern University, will have immemorial experience. L. M. McCoy, Provident of Rust College, Holly Springs, Miss. and H. C. Ray, chief extension agent with headquarters at Little Rock for Arkansas Every facility of the Red Cross and additional state workers are to be placed at the service of these state chiefs. JACK DEMPSEY TO REFEREE BOUT The Bay City Engineers escorted by M. M. O'Shaughnessy, City Engineer of San Franclozo and over two hundred roots are in route to Los Angeles to tangle with the Los Angeles City Engineers ball squad at the White Sox Baseball Park, 38th and Compton avenue, on August 6th, at 2 P. M. The City Engineers Athletic Association has sponsored a coastwise league which will embrace Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and San Diego. This ball game will be the first of a series of three to decide the State Championship. It is reported that the other cities are each whipping a ball team into shape to enter the tray. Much enthusiasm has been aroused and keen rivalry is developing between the stated engineering departments. FREE OFFER If You Are Sick, this is Your Opportunity to Get Well!

A. E. A., the company that hires nine-tenths of the colored talent appearing in pictures, left Monday for the north (Santa Barbara) where the Legions hold forth and Oakland being his specific point of destination. Mrs. Benj. Fuller and daughter, Miss Kate-Lewis of Portland, along with Mrs. Myrtle Hall of Oakland enjoyed a 150-mile auto trip sight-seeing last Friday as guest of Mrs. E. L. Dorsey. Dr. Stovall and family left last Sat urday by auto for Santa Cruz to spend their vacation. Major Loving of Oakland motored through our city en route to San Diego last week. Quite a bunch of visitors and home folks motored down to Venice the other evening and had a wonderful time at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tabor. Mr. Bush, the tailor, motored out of town for the week-end. After a prolonged argument and court session a Jewish, woman was found guilty of running into another motorist. Following the judge's decision she informed his honor amid the hearty laughs of a crowded courtroom of spectators. "Your honor, yes but you can't find me guilty." said she and continually kept up the vocal barrage. Finally, the judge, unable to quiet her, said: $10 fine or 10 days in jail. "Vat?" says she. "I said," said the judge in clear unmistakable tone. "$15 or 20 days." "But your honor," she started to repeat, when Isaac, her husband, who conducted a big dry goods store sternly shouted, as he paid the fine: "Shut up -mit your mouth, do you want to bankrupt the firm?" N. O. Houston motored up to Santa Barbara to attend the legions' convention this week. J. B. Bass drove down to Riverside to attend the O. F. Grand Lodge. As usual thousands motored over to Brookside Park Thursday to attend the annual Union Sunday School Picnic. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh and mother and Friends, Countrymen, and Lovers, much has happened since the last issue of the Eagle in the auto line. To wit: The speed laws have been rearranged for the benefit of the auto public and you are now permitted to increase your speed 5 miles more or 40 miles per hour. Not a traction over remember, or you may and yourselves in conference with the notorious professional bail bondsmen that are causing so much discomfort in police circles both as to themselves, yourself, and the judges.

As it costs more to arrest each offender, now owing to the use of antos, your fine is now doubled. and Mrs. W. G. Holland expect to motor home Friday. Los Angeles is sorry. Mrs. Robinson on 4th Place lost her Portland guests. Mrs. Fuller and daughter. Miss Lewis, who departed for home last Wednesday by auto. Come again. Rev: A. P. Shaw is back on the job converting sinners. In spare moments his Velle transports him about. That is the suggestion offered the motorist by the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club, which routes hundreds of motorists annually through all parts of the United States. Lost time, inconvenience, rough roads, roundabout driving and the exclusion of points of historic and scenic interest—all these are the result of haphazard touring. If the journey is to be enjoyed to the fullest extent, it must be planned in such a way as to insure the best time; to avoid as much as possible all bad stretches of road; to reach the point of destination by the shortest and best route and to include all points of interest. In this way a maximum distance is covered and long stops can be made at desirable locations. These suggestions apply to long trips as well as to shorter ones. If the tourist has in his possession an up-to-date road map or chart and the latest knowledge of road conditions, and knows where the best camping places or accommodations are to be found, he is saved from making mistakes which might cause much inconvenience. No chances of undesirable stays need be taken by the motorist. He need only plan his journey in advance. Casual inquiry of a bystander is likely to mislead the traveler as more often than not, the answer is a haphazard guess. Road conditions are constantly changing and up-to-the-minute information is the only preventive against making mistakes which may cause hours of uncalled for unpleasantness. On almost, every road or highway there are points of especially interest, but they may slip by unnoticed. Sometimes they are at a distance from the trunk highway. They exact location on a map will point the way. Knowledge of the history of a city also often enhances the pleasures of sight seeing. Axail yourself of the privileges to which you are entitled as a member of an automobile club. ROADS IN YOSEMITE, NOT GOOD, REPORT Roads in the floor of Yosemite Valley are not in very good condition, according to the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. Extensive construction has made necessary the closing of many of the roads and others are unpleasant to drive on. The hiking trails, by which the most beautiful parts of the Valley are reached are not affected by the construction work. Roads leading into Yosemite are in good condition. CAMPERS REMINDED OF IMPORTANT DUTY Campers should remember three very important things. First, when camp is made, two holes should be dug, one for the fire and another for tin cans and other refuse. Second, these should be used. Third, when camp is struck, the holes should be covered completely. That is the duty of every camper, according to the National Automobile Club. By fulfilling this duty, he will show a trait of good character and leave behind him the imprint of civilization. ROADS TO CRATER LAKE IN GOOD CONDITION Roads to Grater Lake are in exceptionally good condition, according to the Touring Department of the Natual Automobile Club. * From Medford, Oregon, there is a good graded road to Trail and Prospect. Careful driving is necessary on this stretch as there is considerable loose gravel. From Prospect to the park boundary is in fine condition, being a wide, hard-surfaced, graded gravel road. Excellent time can be made over this part of the road. Pavement is encountered at the park boundary and continues for three miles. Then there is a good gravel road to Anna Springs checking station. The Park is particularly beautiful at this time of the year as there is an abundance of water in the streams, and snow along the road. There is one snowbank approximately 10 feet high against the side of the hotel. From Anna Springs to the Lodge, about five miles, the road is in good condition although a little muddy in places. The return road from Crater Lake to Klamath Falls is also in exceptionally good condition, having been recently oilled. Dust has been eliminated by the oiling process. The Green Springs Road from Klamath Falls to the Pacific Highway is in excellent condition. There is some oiling being done on this part of the road, but traffic is lagged ahead and so there "The Booker T. Washington School on Wheels," maintained by the Tuskegee Institute, was founded by Booker T. Washington and is probably the most famous school of its kind in the country. Dr. Washington, anxious to assist his friends, many of whom were living in inimitable conditions on their farms in the South, secured financial assistance from a wealthy man in the North and sent out a wagon equipped with garden tools, dairy apparatus and farm implements. With the wagon, instructors went through the poorer regions of the South and brought education to dwellers in out-of-the-way places. Specimens of well-bred livestock and of good crops were also shown. This venture was a success and out of it has grown the present school which is mounted on a truck and peaches hundreds of Negro farmers yearly. It travels in districts which are inaccessible by railroad and brings improved means of living to many who would otherwise never come in contact with modern methods. Arrangements for the school's coming are made in advance and it "keeps" the year around, giving an education of a practical nature. "School on Wheels" are also operated in some states by the Forest Service in an effort to educate people in the methods of fire prevention. Last year these schools drew audiences of 27,000 persons and traveled 7,000 miles. One truck traveled through the State of Arkansas and another covered the Appalachian regions and Florida. Each school carries several instructors. LIBERIAN PRESIDENT RECEIVED BY KING (By: A. N. P.) London, Aug. 3.—More than 13,000 guests, including Americans, reigning monarchs. Eastern potentates and colonial visitors attended the royal garden party in honor of the Prince of Wales, at Buckingham Palace, yesterday. President C. D. B. King of Liberia and King Fuad were among the honored guests, both of whom were received by the King and Queen with much ceremony and pomp. venience is experienced. Both the road from Medford and the Green Springs Road to Klamath Falls are very scenic as the Medford Road follows the canyon of the Rogue River for a considerable distance and passes through the Crater National Forest for many miles. The road from Crater Lake to Klamath Falls follows the short of Klamath Lake which lake is famous for the white pelicans which make it their home. From Klamath Falls the roads along the course of the Klamath River for quite a distance and slop passes through miles of virgin forest. FISHING REPORTED GOOD IN LAKES NEAR BISHOP Fishing is now very good in June and Gull Lakes, near Bishop. The best flies on June Lake are Daye Davis and the best at Gull Lake are Jack Lloyd. Worms are good bait at both these lakes. The trails are now open to the head-waters of the San Joaquin, including the Lakes, Thousand Isles, Shadow and Garnet. The first parties in to these lakes have reported extraordinarily good sport. The sagehen season also promises well in this district. VANCOUVER IS MECCA FOR MANY MOTORISTS Vancouver, B.C. is now the mecca for hundreds of motorists. The roads near Vancouver are famous for their excellence, and there are many fine drives, varying from an hour to a day in time. Stanley Park is a wonderful forest within the city limits of Vancouver and contains thousands of Douglas fir and giant cedars of amazing size and age. The park is encircled by a splendid road, nine miles in length. "The Marine Drive" takes the visitor through the best residential parts of the city, including Shenandoah Valley and Point Grey, themed to the mouth of the Prater River, with its factory of palm oil trailways, and back along the coast, and buildings, beaches and golf links. Cabellia Gaucho is a gorge of great natural beauty in North Vancouver, is reached by a many exciting bridge over the Second Narrows. The magnificent bridge across the canyon will show the impressive views in littered by numerous buildings. Advice on 'Road Hog' Given by Auto Club "Don't give the 'road-hog' a chance to display his hogginess." It is pointed out that one of the best methods of dealing with the selfish driver is that or denying him an opportunity of getting into action. While this means of treatment cannot be used against all types of 'road-hogs', it is very effective in dealing with two of the most dangerous classes, namely; the "straight-at-you" driver and the driver who speeds up as he is being passed while another car is approaching from the opposite direction. When a driver takes the middle of the road and noses his machine straight at the approaching car, it is better to turn out and let him speed by than to contest the road with him—fair, better than to sink a head on collision. Again, it is safer to be sure that there is sufficient room to pass a car before attempting to when there is an approaching car to be: considered. Selfish drivers have no signal to show that they mean to speed up as they are passed. Their satisfaction comes from giving another drive, a bad scare. The careful driver can experience no satisfaction that will repay him for the chances of a "wedge-collision" which is likely to be the result of such a situation if it is not perfectly timed. For reasons of safety, the "road-hog" that cats close in front of another car, must also be given the right-of-way although he by no means deserves it. Until such a time as the "sluggard" is regulated by the motor vehicle laws, a lusty tool of the horn and a sharp eye to his movements are the only means or dealing with that type of driver. Then there is the driver who always contests the right of way, no matter what the circumstances. Let him have his way rather than take dangerous chances.

J., July 25.—City officials arranged last Monday for the deportation of Jacob Hall, a colored employee at one of the local resort hotels here, to his relatives in Smithfield, Va.

Officer Scott and others (By: A. N. P.) Columbus, Miss., July 25 - Screams of the Lowndes County Jail's housekeeper frightened away 3 men who had held up the prison keeper, and demanded that he turn over to them Walter Burley, confessed slayer of Mrs. O. S. Rees, and her sister-in-law, in Jackson, Miss., in May, and who is under death sentence after his recent conviction. The three men, according to the jailer and his housekeeper, drove up in three cars. The number of men who waited in the cars outside, could not be determined. No clue had been established as to the identity of the Jail raiders, but should it reoccur, the officers on duty there have received order to "meet them with gun fire." Sheriff Z. P. Goodby, declared that every prisoner in the jail was there by due process of law, "and I am going to protect them in accordance with my oath of office. Deputies on guard at the jail are heavily armed and have been ordered to shoot in order to protect prisoners and uphold the majesty of the law." It was denied by county officials today that Burley was in jail here. He is under sentence to be hanged at Jackson. "THE NEGRO IN AMERICAN LIFE" BY: JEROME DOWD The problem the Negro in America is outstandingly the most vital problem we must face as a nation. It is not merely the problem of the South, but of the North; not merely the problem of the cotton fields, but of the great industrial centers; not merely the problem of the white man, but of the Negro himself. The Negro is here, twelve millions of him. He crape a captured slave, torn from his age-long habitat by a volition other than his own. Yet now no volition can move him back again. His blood, it has been openly declared in the Legislatures of Virginia and North Carolina, is mingled with some of the proudest artistry of the nation. His roots are interlocked with the roots of the conquering race. What is the future of the Negro? Segregation? Or emigration? Or a gradual infusion of his racial stock into the composite American race of the future? Professor Dowd's book, "The Negro in American Life," constitutes a unique historical and sociological study of the African race in America, with a survey of the race's past and an indication of its future. Introducing his history with a resume of the Negro in Africa, he then surveys the condition of the race in America, both the North and South, at the outbreak of the Civil War. He projects and analyzes in detail the development of the Negro's social and economic position, the Negro's martial record, his opposition in literature and art, and his migrations. The chapter on proposed solutions of the Negro problem, together with Dr. Dowd's estimate of the Negro's future, are remarkable alike for their clarity of vision, their wisdom, and the dispassion with which they have been written. It is interesting, it is informing, it is stimulating! It is an admirable record of the Negro which every thinking person should read. This book may be reserved at the Jefferson Branch Library, 2211 West Jegerson St. Hours: 9 A. M. to 9 P. Mexican Commits Assault M. Torres was caught before he was able to escape by officers Bradbury and Cusly or Newton Street, in a vacant lot near Long Beach Avenue where he had lured little Ocho Macho, 4 years old. Hidden by the high weeds he was assaulting the boy child when linemen at the top of telegraph poles saw him from the high elevation and phoned from the poles to the Newton Street station. The officers caught him red handed and he will probably receive the highest penalty under sec. 220 which provides a long prison term for such crimes.

TYPEWRITER INSPECTION COMPANY "There is not a man in our organization that would not gladly sacrifice a pint of blood to save his fellow worker's life. I cannot understand what kind of men young Clark was working with to refuse a request of this kind. Too bad he cannot come West where men are men. The statement of Mr. Gray only goes to prove the caliber of red caps that serve the traveling public in Los Angeles. PASSENGER SERVICE BY AIR FROM S. F. TO CHICAGO STARTED Passengers who left San Francisco on the first passenger airplane last Monday will arrive in Chicago 24 hours later, saving 46 hours on the train ride. The saving of time and the thrill of the ride will cost just $200. There will be three changes of planes on the way, Salt Lake, Cheyenne, and Omaha. Reservations for the trip have all been filled ten days ahead. The Pullman Company should have no fear of this service having teller efficiency. The business is the simple reason that on this airplane the travelling public will not be able to get the brand of service from a trained and efficient Pullman Porter as he does on land. He cannot ring the bell and say, "Porter, bring me a pillow." He cannot ring the bell and say, "Bring me a glass of water," or "get this from the diner," and many other comforts he must sacrifice for the time he saves. His shoes will look the same or maybe-worse when he gets off in Chicago, and if he is a little nervous when he starts, it is a cinch he will be a nervous wreck when he gets to his destination. The writer does not wish to be misunderstood as knocking this new way of travelling, still as it appears at present the monarchs of the air have not made any place where a porte, can be used and naturally he could not be expected to boost it. AIR THEE WELL. PULLMAN PORTERS MAKE SPLENDID DOWING DURING JULY The month of July has just passed out, hot, and a passenger irritator. July and August have always been two very trying months as far as a porter is concerned. They are the two hottest months in the year and as a rule are the months in which most complaints are received on service by over-heated and many times unreasonable passengers. Pullman car rule after laying in the bus all day brings back into the depot like a hot furnace, and it is entirely up to the porter to get it cool in as short a time as it is humanly possible for him to do so. Passengers not accustomed to travelling insist on both windows being raised and the result is a dirty car and a still warmer one. Complaints are numerous and the slightest error of the part of the porter brings down the wrath of an overheated passenger. He sees no one else on whom he can take his spite out on and the porter is the goat. However, the month of July has passed with only a small percentage of complaints of this nature, and that Los Angeles men are right the job. Let's go through August the same way.

Heard or Seen in Passing YOU'RE NEXT BY: Gladyce Greenaway Monday's heat was so intense that it put a crimp in our hair which is still there. The beaches are crowded with folks looking for relief from the heat or a chance to show off a neat looking bathing-suit. At Santa Monica, human beings of "color" are given beach space that looks about an inch square. But we suppose they like it—or they have to. Here's to bigger and better bath-tubs so we can swim at home! The funniest looking sight on the Westside is three burly police riding all "crushed together" in a wheezing, rattling Ford. Mr. Herman Woode entertained a few friends at his home, Friday, July 15, and proved a perfect host. Several dances and house parties have taken place this past week but we have been too much occupied in "guzzling" ice cream and eating dainty (2) Afric's favorite food which starts with a "W" that we have given "hoofing by sweet musical strains" the go-by until summer joys have ceased. --- An ad in last week's Eagle started out with "FOR RENT"—Any person wishing to be rented call the Eagle. Mr. Otis Rene says that he really does not play tennis to reduce but that he hopes some day to be a second "Tilden." Miss Bebe Westbrook and her sister, Florence, were among those at the beach Tuesday and really looked, "jam up" in their bathing suits. Mr. B. C. says what's a marriage amongst friends. P. S.—What's become of little "Noah." We don't hear from him any more (through the press, that is). The S. P. S. D. D. met to hold its weekly meeting at the "Center". It was a very interesting meeting. Plans are being made for a "Sena Español," which we know will go over big. The meeting adjourned.

U's. of Riverside, Redlands and San Bernardino was held last Sunday afternoon in Meadowbrook Park where more than 300 persons listened to an enthusiastic address delivered by Eva Overr-Solomon, Director of Religious Education of the Western Baptist Association, whose subject was: "I said, I will take heed to my ways." Preceeding the address a spirited song service was the source of much enjoyment led by Torrence Mercer participated in by all the spectators. Mrs. H. G. Freeman of the Second Baptist Church of Redlands was responsible for this occasion which was carried out in great shape. An interesting feature of this meeting was the presentation of Christian Mexican woman who expressed her desire to be of some held in the meeting and she sang a wonderful solo, also read a passage of scripture for the instruction of many of her group who were present, which was in turn interpreted by Mrs. Elizabeth Gray. Following the address invitations were extended the visiting passports to say a few words whereupon Rev. F. W. Cooper, Mediator of the Tri-County Convention, I. N. Whitten, pastor of the New Hope Church, San Bernardino and the pastor of the Methodist Church responded very readily in glowing terms of the success and intent of the meeting. Mrs. M. A. Llys, president of Women's Convention, spoke most encouragingly of the work she hoped to accomplish through this effort. So well pleased were the hearers with the outcome that a motion prevailed that this be a monthly after so long as the weather was permissible. After the meeting was dismissed the committee in charge served refreshments to all which was very much enjoyed. The notice of the date of the next meeting will be given publicly by Mrs. Freemah, President of Trt-County B, P. Y. U. when she hopes to have out a lawer crowd.

Miss Christmas is chairman of the membership committee for our group in these organizations. Despite the fact that the invitations stipulated "informal" every lady was a dream of loveliness either in a dainty cool party frock or a more elaborate evening gown. Among the most handsome of these were the gowns worn by the hostesses, Mrs. Ralphpe Oster's being a maize colored, heavier gown. Mrs. Christman's a lovely decollette beaded orchid georgette over shell pink satin. The sisters were assisted by Mrs. Frank Pearl, charming in a fluffy creation of coral chiffon with silver, slippers, Mrs. Walter Webster in beaded gown of yellow georgette, pearls and diamonds, Mrs. Angelita Nelson in a dainty pink chiffon dancing frock and by Mrs. Pearl Woodall Smith in a beautiful white georgette evening gown.

Motor Party Arrives Late A jolly group of friends consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Marsh and Miss Thelma Brooks of Oakland and Mrs. Holland of Sacramento and others broke all speed records in a vain effort to reach the Christman sisters dancing party last Saturday evening.

Marcolesco REALTOR 10358 Compton Avenue DELAWARE 1349 NOTARY PUBLIC FIRE INSURANCE --- THE TEETH AS FOCI OF INFECTION Focal infection may be regarded as both one of the latest and one of the oldest conceptions in medicine. For many years physicians have considered the probability, if not the certainty, of systematic disorders having their origin in some localized spot within the patient's own body. Within recent years it has been proved conclusively that colonies of bacteria lodge in localized areas of the body where they multiply and incubate, throwing their poisonous products into the blood stream, thus producing various acute and chronic systematic diseases. Any part or organ of the body where germs and their products accumulate, such as the mouth, the nose, the sinuses, the teeth, the gums, tonsils, etc., may become a focus of infection, pouring their poisons into the system. Diseased tonsils and decayed or abused teeth may be regarded as typical, classical examples of focal infections. The tonsils especially seem to have been the earliest and the most generally recognized portals of entry for fever viruses and infection and there can be no doubt that it was the off-timed coincidence between diseased tonsils and such diseases as rheumatism, arthritis, heart disease, etc., which led to investigation of their probable connection and the establishment of the doctrine of the focal infection. The number and variety of disorders capable of being produced thru absorption of dental infection, very greatly exceed, according to all reports, those for which the tonsils are responsible. Of course, some discount must doubtless be made for the recency of the consideration of dental focal infection, but even with this allowance it seems already certain that diseased teeth are responsible, a fact impugnable in including different forms of heart-disease, nephritis, arthritis, rheumatism, gall-bladder infections and even diseases of the urinary tract.

Mr. Duncan is a product of bleeding Kansas, spent years in Colorado, and has left his "foot prints upon the sands of time" in every place in which he has lived as a man who stands for A. B. MR. W. H. DUNCAN the highest ideals of citizenship and for the advancement of his race. During his residence in Colorado, Mr. Duncan for several years served faithfully and well as president of the Western Negro Press Association at which period he was actively connected with the newspaper business at Colorado Springs, Colo. He has at all times been known as a man with real honest convictions and with the courage to maintain the same. Therefore when he came to California it was but in his element to line up with those who are striving to do things and in this situation he attracted the members of the Forum who elected him as president and reelected him only recently to succeed himself. His regime has thus far been marked with a deal of success, with the president ever striving to bring about a concentration of effort and the organization well on the highway of progress. One thing certain and sure, his course is marked with positiveness, justice and fair play to all. Mr. Duncan and his better half are indeed worthy citizens and their interesting family has added much to the community and it is with a deal of pleasure that we write these lines in appreciation of his integrity and worth.

CITY Office, 2615 Central Ave. Phone, HUmbolt 1500 A white friend who holds office under one of the Cabinet departments of our government, writes me: "In thinking, over 'Pan-Africa'—I have come more and more to the same conclusions as I tentatively reached the other evening; namely; that there is only one basis for it: that of common oppression; and that, since oppression is a world-wide phenomenon, there is no logical reason for limiting this union of the oppressed to Negroes." This is ideally true, and would be practically true if there were no such thing as color psychology in the white world. But, as it is, the Negroes will have to get together themselves before they can be got together with others of their economic and societal class. That is the burden of "race" and "color." It is true that the fundamental problem is economic and social; and it is true that economic law has no regard for color. But it is not also true that human beings, with minds warped and twisted by prejudices and superstitions, have no reaction, to color. "Race?" and "color" become cross-currents in the economic stream. A color arrangement is an evil, a necessary evil, but, we hope, a temporary evil also. Nevertheless it is a real evil. It is not an ideal arrangement to organize a "Negro" social agency, a "Negro" drug store, a "Negro" insurance company, or to be compelled to organize a "Negro" family. But these are merely the modus vivendi—what the traffic will bear.

When: You Need ICE SERVICE of all Africans,—but it is a necessity born of the circumstances. Oppressed white and oppressed black in America have one cause; but they will not get together, in that cause at first, not now, and not for some time. They may the sooner and themselves together by pursuing the same cause in their several ways; in short, they will discover that they cannot pursue their cause to its ultimate success unless they get together. But it would be fatal to wait until they learned "that lesson before we encouraged them to start anything. There is the same need of organizing the psychological (not biological) group known as "African" in the world that there is for organising the "colored people" of America. But my friend is right: for that is not the end; not complete, not real success. "Pan-Africa" must lead toward cooperation of those of like estate. War Declared on Lower California Land & Development Company Last week we gave you a short article on our recent trip to Lower California; this week we will continue our story of our trip by telling you some of the positive facts relative to the Lower California Mexican Land and Development Company that we gained on this eventful trip. We wish to quote a portent question followed by a scathing rebuke that appeared in last week's article as follows: "Can you see why the possibilities of losing this foothold in Lower California stirs our blood and drives us forth to battle for our rights and the preservation of our dreams?" Through foolish, inefficient manipulations of our attorney who either did not know what he was doing or purposefully chose to misrepresent, we as a company of men have contributed thousands of dollars for the purchase of a property over which we have no right or title." The question of title of these properties is the one big question with us and should be with every stockholder in this proposition. We first visited the attorney at Tia Juana who served as the attorney of the parties of whom the ranch was purchased by our group. First to give you an idea of this lawyer's knowledge of our affairs, we would state that he acted continuously in the capacity of attorney for the previous owners of this ranch from the time it was first purchased by our group in 1919, until the final payments in 1924 or 25. Often during this space of time he also served our company in various matters as related to the Mexican Government. We asked him as to the holdings of the Lower Call CALIFORNIA PECAN USED ON 10,000,000 HEADS THERE'S A REASON It's 'O'PAL HAIR DRESSING CREAM for MEN and WOMEN O'PAL MFG.

A., but that they owned nothing in Mexico as far as records show. He further stated that he could not say as to whether the Co's stock selling campaign was legal or illegal, but that it was absolutely irregular. After we had finished our interview with this gentleman, we proceeded on our journey to Ensenada, Lower California Mexico, where we met Mr. Ricardo Romero, our trustee, a Mexican Citizen and gentleman that would please any 'honest mah he met. Senor Romero for several years has served his own people or his district by representing them in Congress at Mexico City. A young man with an almost "boyish" expression on his face, affable, courteous with the stamp of honor on his countenance and honesty beaming from Ms eyes, Mr. Romero represents the highest type of citizenship. We only regret that our space is too limited to tell you more of him. When we approached Mr. Romero on the question of the Land and Development Company, he frankly told us that he had already been informed that some trouble was brewing in our company and that his job was that of trustee alone for the eight men who had signed with him as sole owners and buyers of the Santa Clara Ranch, and that he knew nothing of the company that was selling stock and from a legal point had no reason to recognize the said corporation. He stated that he did not wish to enter into a clique of private arrangement with anyone or more the trustees, but that he was ready at all times to do and give his very best for the entire eight men who were the original purchasers of the property. He said that his only interest in the persons who had bought stock in the Lower California Mexican Land Co. would be to tell them the truth concerning what they really owned in Lower California. He further stated that he would furnish a signed affidavit to the effect to anyone that requested it of him that the California Corporation does not own a square foot of ground in the Santa Clara Ranch in Mexico. Now, what does all this mean? It simply means this, that Hugh E. Macbeth as attorney and general advisor has put upon the people of Southern California and many other sections of the United States one of the most colossal fakes, that was ever perpetrated in the history of California. Possibly it would be well to modify the above statement by saying, if this is not the case then our worthy attorney can proudly boast of being the biggest man with the smallest brain that ever stepped out of Harvard University. We are asking the stockholders to immediately get in touch with us this week. We are going to find a reason for this kind of shift and now it exists. Look in the telephone book for our telephone numbers. Next week we will tell you how our president of the company stands on this proposition.

Cor. 21st and Naomi, was crowded and conjested with those anxious to gain admission and get a good seat. At 9 P. M. the heavy doors of the annex and Sunday School department had to be opened to accommodate the crowd. Although the evening was unusually warm, and the program lasted until 11:30, that big audience remained, applauded, enclosed and even sent up written request for more. There was such a profusion of flowers and so many beautiful bouquets and such large baskets that many had to be carried in special automobiles. We are told that Myldred Sennett, a student teacher of the school, who played Kowalskis' big Salut A Pest with such fire, received more than half a dozen very large baskets of flowers. 19 PINGEL 1030 PHONE E.

Sheffield was set free after the jury, which had been deadlocked for 34 hours, returned a verdict of acquittal at ID P. M. Saturday, July 25rd. Sheffield was tried for murder of Sam Tullman at 1959, M. Bler R. Sunday, April 24, 1963, during a trial. The trial lasted for three weeks and every day the courtroom was packed to its capacity with crowds in the corridors. The jury consisted of 8 women and 4 men and it was understood that the jury gave the acquittal on the doctrine of "reasonable doubt." Sheffield is again on the police force. BROWN AND BEWLEY CASE SET FOR AUGUST 10 Brown and Bewley, former police officers and two main prosecution witnesses in the Sheffield case, have entered pleas of guilty and will have the hear on their probation application August 10th. These two men perjured themselves before the Grand Jury in connection with the Sam Faulkner murder but told the "truth" at the trial of Sheffield. LABOR PROBLEMS AND THE NEGRO From Address by WILLIAM PICK- ENB, Before, the Intercollegiate Association of New York, in Summer Session at Potter, N. J., July 24th, 1927 "There is no 'Negro Labor' and no 'White Labor'. There is just, —LABOR, and there are white and black people among the laborers. There is a greater proportion of the black than of the white population in the laboring rank; and therefore anything that is important for laborers, is still more important for the colored laborers. "Co-operation, unionizing, the employment of organized power, is very important for laborers. The relation of wages to the cost of living is very important for laborers. The legal rights of labor organizations: the rights of group bargaining for wages, the right or impartial treatment by the officers of the law in cases involving disputes between laborers and their employers,—these rights are vital to the interests of laborers, white, black, or other colors. "Employers do not buy or exploit color; they trade in labor. The handicap of color, like the handicaps of age, or sex, or ignorance, may give a relish employer an extra advantage in robbing the laborer. But that would only mean that the Negro laborer will be more taken advantage of, and should, therefore, be more interested in the defense of labor. "That means, logically, that there should be no Negro labor unions or white labor unions, but only labor unions, for laborers. A division in the ranks of laborers along the racial line is just as weakening as a division along any other lines whatsoever. When white workers force colored workers into separate unions by race prejudice or into the open shop by discrimination, these white workers are acting directly against the interests of themselves and of all other laborers. "The Negro is not naturally an open-shop worker or strike-breaker. He is just as willing as any other race on earth to get more wages and do less work. He is the same sort of animal as the rest or mankind." Mrs. Ben. H. Graham and little daughter Bennell are spending the week at the La Bonita Hotel at Santa Monica Beach.

Insofar as the defendant is concerned in this instance, we have no regrets and can but congratulate him on winning his freedom and restoration on the force. The whole fabric of the system of trial juries and cases where the parties all happen to be members of the colored race, we cannot fail to denounce. Just where a jury of eight women and four men could make out a verdict of justification on the evidence presented in this case is not only an enigma to us but is such to 90 per cent of our entire population.

It is doubtful if some haberdashers have as many regular customers as they have different collar styles in their show cases. There has long been a suspicion among collared men that every new name appearing in the realm of collars does not introduce a new shape. Men who have attempted to re-stock their collar boxes by name will attest to the charge that the collar manufacturers, in the interests of better business, change the names of a few styles when they run out of new shapes and fabrics.

The rest or the tired business man is not golf, most two weeks at a shore resort. For such a first and recuperation and not merely as a retreat far from the crowd, devoid of Another popular theory has been exposed as a delusion. A French writer vehemently refutes the common supposition that the way to get rest is to do something else, to spend a day or a week doing anything that one does not do the rest of the year. This, he says, is only "getting tired another way". Instead of a theatre or dance after a day of toil, this investigator into the causes and remedies for fatigue recommends repose, sleep, solitude, quiet and inertia. The rest cure he advocates for the tired business man is not golf, motoring, a sea voyage or two weeks at a shore resort. For such, if they really desire rest and recuperation and not merely a vacation, he prescribes a retreat far from the crowd, devoid of activity, the society of others and other disturbing influences. Of course he is right. And the truth of the matter is that his theory has always been put to practical use. People who go away to rest don't delude themselves into thinking they obtain that needed reconstruction of mind and body by participating in sports and mingling with the mob. They seek out some quiet nook and strive with as little effort as possible to sea, hear, speak and do as little as possible. No time is more propitious than the present for removing some misunderstanding of that great American institution, the vacation. Though it destroy the institution itself, the pronunciamento is here issued that the vacation is no longer used as a rest cure and is not necessary as such to the average worker. If there was ever a time when people went on vacations to rest after their labors, they now return from their vacations to W. J. WHEATON Then came the disillusion. On his way home he was denied the accommodation authorized by his government and, literally, was kicked from his car, his uniform was derided and he was given a stated time to "get out of it." Nothing at all daunted, he went home to pick up the threads of an existence but the exposure of his war time expérience had undermined his health and he became tubercular. Not long ago the mighty Mississippi became a ranging torrent. Thousands were made homeless and suffering was rife. Among those who sought refuge the heave was our soldier boy. Emmaized him and armed guard ordered him to help fill a breach in the levee. He worked at the crevasse until nature was exhausted. He died. Did they dig a hole for him on the levee, or did the swirling waters of the river receive it? We do not know, that was in Louisiana. Now, it's a question. Is Josephine Baker really married to a count, or is it all an advertising stunt? Rogers, writing over from Paris says it's the latter. They have searched all of the places' which are authorized to perform such, ceremony and no record can be found where Josephine Baker and the "titled" Italian have boarded the matriform ship. If it is not true that she is the Countess De Abatino and up from the Nordic "friends". It will not enhance the popularity of the very beautiful dancing star to "have it told on the thoroughfares of the world that as the French would say, Mme. Josephine Baker has only made a "white marriage." We have not been able to verify the rumors affecting the San Francisco political situation. It is rumored that the political imparsario, Sheriff Tom Finn has groomed the present Postmaster, James Powers, for the mayoralty handicap. There is something doing when such astute political managers as McCake, Finn, Graney, et al consolidate as is the case by the amalgamation of the two committees, city and county. 00 Down Los Angeles way the Mayor Cryer, has got himself in "Dutch" by his insistence on the making of several appointments which are "Persona Non Grata" to the City council as well as the citizens. They are even figuring on a recall. Representative the Hon. Frederick Roberts is making a survey of the several school text books which come off the press this year, especially the histories. There has been considerable talk, even among educators, as to their pro-British proclivities and the glossering, over or ignoring entirely of other historical epochs. 00 It seems as if the Grand Lodge of the L. B. P. O. E. or W. will meet in New York or New Jersey. It is stipulated that the sessions of the Order be held in Newark, N. J. and the social entertainment in New York. Can you beat it? Wilson is reported as saying that, "the reason he did not want New York was, New York would support Dalmus Steele for G. E. R. As I have before said in this column Finley Wilson would move heaven and earth to retain his hold on the Order through 1928. There is nothing he would not do; nothing he would not condone to accomplish the selfish motive in view. Why the great activity of Perry Howard, and Arthur Froe? the former assistant in the office of the U. S. Attorney General, the latter Recorder of Deeds for D. C. It is obvious to the venet tyro in the game of politics. In 1928 there is a general election. Of course know is the Grand Legal Knife. Is not the Grand Lodge platform will this year look like a "Kitchen" Cabinet. All of the "Political Leaders" will be up there. Talk about Negro delegates in the Republican National Convention: it's nothing to the tactics employed by the "Gang" to influence votes in the Grand Sessions of the L. B. P. O. E. or W. Read the minutes of the last Grand Session in Cleveland! Look at the Committees! 25, 35, 45 and up. Look at the Assistant Grand "this and that," all were drawing from the Fraternal Treasury 7.50 per day. Half of them did not know what Committee they were serving on. From 3 to 5 men did all of the work! They have a Law, its Les Malegate to criticize the heads of the Order. They are Sacrosaut; they have hedged themselves about with Divine rights, but it is time that the men who understand theodge WAKE UP! Let's put an end to this foraging of mones paid into the exchequer of the Grand Lodge by the subordinate lodges. We want to see the mones so contributed wisely expended. We want the rural schools of the Southland looked after as well as the already endowed colleges and universities. We want the Commissioner of Education ($2,000 per year) to seek out the schools which need our encouragement. The boys and girls of the poor or the Race. Yes, there is a great work to do the Negro Elks are capable of doing it, but before we can accomplish the worthwhile things, the big things, we must rid the Order of the Political Incapus which is retarding our fraternal march. 009 If does seem to the man "up a tree" that R. J. O'Connell, former Civil Minister, who was assassinated in 1962, the Militarization is rather belated in his "expess" of the attempted frame-up in the Match Hatchy-Pacific Gas affair. In view of the coming election in the city of San Francisco, it savors too much of politics to be effective. The varist tyrion in, or has been aware that there has been a semenumbid hld in the Hatchy-Hatchy woodpecker. MARY A MRS. M. G.

"Neither do I!" answered Jones, his pearly white teeth slightly showing and setting off a well-shaped mouth that was a fitting finish for a perfect profile for a real ebony king. The remainder of about ten or twelve questions put to Mr. Jones were pleasingly answered with "I don't know." THE EDITOR George Walker, who had testified at the opening of the prosecution's case was again called to the stand and was asked: Q. "At the time of the 'shooting did Rev. Hardy go beyond the curb?" A. "No. It seemed that me one foot was on the curb and one in the street." Q. "How far were you from the scene of the shooting?" A. "About thirty or forty feet, I can't say exactly." Walker was then excused and Mr. Gilmore of the Gilmore Cafe was called to the stand and gave practically the same testimony as that given by the preceding prosecution witnesses, and at this period the prosecution rested its case. DEFENSE WITNESSES ON THE STAND The first witness to the defense was jaslin Fred Morrison. Q. "Were you jailer on or about July ?" A. "Yes." Q. "Were you at any time see John Denkey?" A. "Yes. On July 7th I saw him first at the desk in the Police Department at which time he seemed to be very angry and said he would cut the guts out of all American Negroes when he was out. Q. "Did you hear him say anything about Rev. Hardy?" A. "Yes. He said that it the Rev. did not keep his nose out of his business he would cut his guts out." Charles F. Green, who said he was in the Ball Bond business, and in the city jail at the time Denkey was brought in testified that he heard Denkey make threats against Rev. Hardy and all the American Negroes. At this period the court was declared closed for the day to open again Thursday at 10 A. M. THURSDAY A. M. SESSION Thursday morning came as nine o'clock Denkey was presented over by Judge Cook was crowded by local blacks and when anxiously wafting the outcome of the preliminary hearing. The first witness called was the jail elevator operator who corroborated Mr. Green's testimony. Police officer George Hannahs was then called. Q. "Do you know John Denkey?" * A. "I saw him first July 7th, when he was arrested for battery and brought to the city jail." Q. "Did you talk to him?" A. "I did." Q. "What was his state of mind at that time?" A. "He was very angry with all American Negroes and said the first one of them that stuck their nose in his business was going to be cut up." Q. "Did you find out why Denkey was lodged in fall at this time spoken of?" A. "Yes. He told me that his trouble was when his former landlady with whom he had previously been very friendly had charged him with stealing $0.00 from her and one of her other roomers had attacked him when he resented the charge." Q. "Did he tell you how and why the shooting which occurred four days. "Aen. A few days after Denkey had been discharged on a 90-day's suspended sentence, he called the city jail and asked me to accompany him to Mrs. Robinson's residence, where he wanted to get his things. I told him that that did not come under police parlance, but was a case for civil action. Later in the afternoon Denkey called me again and said that he was afraid of trouble if he went after his things alone. However, it seemed that after, he engaged him expressman, he went to the Robinson residence, but did not enter nall Rev. Hardy appeared on the shooting. Him was shot in the shooting. "Out of the testimony no one seems to have heard host stayed arrau- that he held up to the shooting on the day it occurred. At the close of the hearing the Rev. Mr. Hardy was held, without ball, for murder. The time, and place or the trial will be announced later. ward fulfilling our promise to give the people of California a great Life Insurance Company that will serve the needs of our group. Every Black American in this state can be justly proud of the progress made by the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Co. Although the company is only two years old, our present rate of annual income is in excess of $108,000. We are paying from Two to Three Thousand Dollars per month to policy holders in benefits, and we have loaned over $21,000 to our people on real estate. This service will be increased coming of the Progressive Mutual insurance Company of State. "To my mind the demonstration affords a most splendid demonstration which makes for bigger business. This only means greater service by our great Golden State to all of its policy holders." Mr. Elijah Cooper, president of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association states: "The proposition regarding the consolidation of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association with the Golden State Guarantee Fund Influence Co. has been talked over for several months and I have never myself. Accordingly, an agreement has been made which is satisfactory to all. The Birch Street Christian Church, Corner 14th and Birch Streets, will celebrate the Fourth Anniversary of its pastor, Elder A.

Sunday, all day, special sermon at 11 A. M., Elder C. B. Torrance. "I want to inform our many friends and policy holders that the consolidation of these two companies gives us double protection. I also wish to express our appreciation for your patronage under the name of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association, and to assure you that it is our earnest desire to do bigger and better things in the insurance world." BISHOP CLAIR AT WESLEY M. E. CHURCH BISHOP CLAIR AT WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Mr. J. C. Jordan, Secretary and Manger of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association, states: "In view of the fact that union is strength, and strength such that is had with the combination of concerns, the consolidation of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association with the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Co., gives courage to all men of color whose interest of racial finance is at heart. "Having been one of the founders of the Progressive Mutual, thereby being interested in its better development which will make possible a variety of contracts to offer the public, I make my approval most heartily. "I have served in the capacity of secretary manager of the Progressive Mutual and for five years as my dillgence would permit, gaining many patrons and friends until seven months ago when I had to leave my post of duty where my son, Victor, is now serving. Although sickness has confined me to my home for several months my heart is with you. "I am yours for great development." Mr. Victor Jordan, Field Manager of the Progressive Mutual Benefit Association states: "Greater love hath no man than those who step forward to propose more and bigger things for your money. "I will be found on the field with the same spirit as always, only with more contracts that you may choose from. This union means that Insurance under Negro management and control will soon invade the entire state. "I am yet yours for service." No institution has proven the possibilities that can result from co-operation more than the business of insurance. The co-operation of just one-eighth of the number of men and women of our group who own Life Insurance, has given employment to fifty-five thousand Black Americans. In addition to this service our companies perform a striking service by using their reserves in hotels, building homes, supporting basilic churches. Every California citizen can be justly proud of the Golden State Guarantee Fund Insurance Company which, is rendering its quota or this great service.

JACK Dempsey won and came home while the town jumped up and cheered. ACE, Hudkins came home and won while the town got big-eyed with surprise. THEY said Dempsey was too old and Baker had Ace's knockout number. Now we hve two leading citizens. WHAT is going to become of our colored boxes? Two top notchers Thompson and Wills get let down for 60 days each by the Commission. Thompson said: "Thanks, I need the rest," but Wills and his manager both feel badly over the fact that White with his covering and holding tactics is to blame for any poor showing their fight may have made. Wills was doing his best all the time as is attested by many at the ringside, but at times the real facts do not reach the "powers that be." WE MAKE no alibi for a fighter because he is of our race but in a spirit of fairness they should have the benefit of a thorough investigation and an equal break. But while we are fighting for them we will fight any of their ways or actions that will hurt them or hurt our race. "ON THE PAN" will go any fighter or manager regardless of race who does anything to injure themselves or the greatest sport in the world. Our best friends are those who tell us of our faults and help us to mend them, so if a boxer's manager and the public learn that the boxer is dissipating on the sly or if a manager is found guilty or framing or anything in that class or dirt we are going to tell it and "Hope you don't feel hurt." And all real sports papers will do the same. Along Fisticuffs Row A LOT of history made this past week. Such little things as the Dempsey-Sharkey scrap for instance. COLORED FIGHTERS are represented on most all the cards this week. Billy Evans, Clyde Colvin, Zorilla, Mack House, Neil Clisby and Vlc Alexander are some of the boys boxing against white or Mexican opponents in all but the Pasadena battle. THE OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM had a dark house this Tuesday, because the able management saw it was not good judgement to follow a big outdoor show. HARRY "BUBBER" JOHNSON is not coming up to expectations for some reason. After boxing two sensational battles with a draw and a K. O. over Manning at Culver City he loses a bout for some reason or other that everyone thought he was sure to win. JAKE KILRAIN is still training every day. He is in wonderful shape and proud of his title of light heavyweight champion of the Coast best cause of the 10-round battle with Godfrey. SENGEANT RAMSY BAKER LEVENTHAL-ATKINSON BOUT A THRILLING A YETTING EXCITING BATTLE To see two good fighters lay, caution and science aside, and stand toe to toe as they slug until both are too weak to aim their punches as high as the law to pull the knockout, is a treat the fight seldom are lucky enough to get. This is what happened at the Culver City Stadium last week when Billy Atkinson and Jimmy Leventhal fought in the double wind-up last Thursday night, July 21st. Billy got the decision by a close margin, a cut nose seeming to worry Leventhal. So this week Jimmy Murray, the great little promoter has matched the winner of the sensational match with Manuel Vasquez. The complete card follows: Billy Atkinson vs. Manuel Vasquez, six rounds; Midget Smith vs. Johnny Gonzales, six rounds; Mickey Arnold vs. Sammy Rothstein, six rounds; Young Joe Rivers vs. Pat Sweeney, six rounds; Freddie Landead vs. Jack Grimstead, six rounds. Main Street A. C. Shows Rudy Steiner Against Aguila Saturday Night Too bad we received the Main St. Card too late to tell all about that great boy Rudy Steiner who is coming so fast but here is the great card he tops: Vicente. Aguilar vs. Rudy Steiner, main event, eight rounds; Jack Lanson vs. Johnny Fernando, semi-wind-up; six rounds; Red Bennett vs. Tony Parra, six rounds; Joe Blanda vs. Young Mission, four rounds; Lou Garcia vs. Kid Herrera, four rounds. Hollywood Stadium Uses A Colored Boxer A "HUGE JOKE" was sprung on the Hollywood Stadium when Affonso Gonzales and Tommy O'Brien boxed there recently. You see, there is a written or unwritten agreement not to use any colored boxes, regardless of the good mixed beats they are missing. A standard crowd of movie actors makes them a little independant of the colored fighters until the time that is sure to come when through cuts in salaries they will have to depend more on outside customers then they will need the best colored boys too. But to go on with the story, although Gonzales speaks Spanish he is part Mexican and part Negro, he is report- IN HIS OWN BACK YARD." That was Pie. HA! HA! HA!

But these facts were kept hidden at the match-making and those closely surprised and chagrined when the BIG LAUGH was sprung on them afterwards. Which only proves what's in a name! connected with the Stadium were real. They say there are a few big Colored Heavyweights who will make big George Godfrey feel small. Among them is John Lester Johnson. DONALD-TEX RICKARD, OF THE WEST SO EASY, HA! HA! HA! HE, WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS BEST. ACE MAKES GOOD DONALD MAKES GOOD Frank Kerwin added laurels to his crown when he named Ace Hudkins "The most sensational lighter in the whole wide world". He added more laurels when at business manager, for promoter Dick Donald, he and Dick practically alone did the work of staging the monster event that the whole world is talking about. Tex Rickard would have had an army of publicity men "etc", but they did the same thing by working about 20 hours a day. Fate has been kind to the optimistic Dick, but there were friends who stuck to him and believed in him all through, and it is said that he will be much different from the average struggled who suddenly bursts into prosperity, but will still feel kind and grateful thoughts to those who tried to help him when things looked so bad for a paying out-door show. As for Ace we knew he would make good. You can't lick a cat with his back to the wall. So our head-lines ran before the fight "The Wildcat will wipe out defeat". Ace is at home here; he had to win and those 35,000 fans will tell you he did. EVANS MAKES GREAT FIGHT Although losing by a technical knock out Billy Evans the sensational colored featherweight, made a great fight against Dario Barron though outweighed by three pounds. Though not making any alibi he would have been able to put Barron down again for keeps but for the fact that in the second round he got a hard blow on the hip bone that made him unable to side step Dario's wicked right. Thousands of colored fans flocked through the turnstiles drawn by the foot that the Colored press let it be known that neither Ace nor Dick draw the inadefult color line and will give the colored boys a chance. Promoter Dick Donald estimates his own profit on the Hudkins-Baker show, all overhead deducted, at $18, 981. His official gate receipts were $94, 063.30, of which the federal government deducted $8460.30 amusement tax and the state $4253.55 under the boxing law. This left $80,349.45, the amount the fighters were paid off on. Hudkins' share was 27% per cent, or $2,098.98. Baker received $20,087. 36. Rent of the ball park amounted to $8034.94. The preliminary park cost $1150. Help, seat expenses, etc ran $10,000. Thus the cost show him $61, 368.39 to stage.

CROWDS FLOCKING TO ROSEBUD THEATRE Next week will be a banner week of the Rosebud Theatre according to the announcement of Manager Wolfe new owner starting the week Sunday and Monday, July 1st and August 1st John Gilbert will be shown in one of his greatest successes "Monte Cristo" with Renee Adoree, and Estelle Taylor, co-stars this booking is the first showing in the district after down town.

Programs changed Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. DEMPSEY TO INTRODUCE PROTEGE All the milling crowing mob of the 10,000 greeters who failed to see the conquering hero Jack Dempsey as he came in Tuesday night last, from his victory over Sharkey will get the chance to see him in person, at the Olympic Auditorium. The occasion will be the double windup which Matchmaker Wadhams has lined up by having the great Mexican Star, Bert Collaime Everett Strong, and Paul De Hate take on Herman Auerbach. Auerbach's father was the former manager of Dempsey back in Salt Lake City, and out of consideration for his old guide the great contender is howing his interest in the youngster by being on hand to introduce bim. Paul De Hate is a good opponent for Auerbach and the two are expected to put up a close battle at their weight of 150 pounds for a 10-round session. Bert Colima will meet the man who trimmed Jack Willis, in Everett Strong the hard hitting middleweight who has a string of recent victories to his credit. The men will weigh 168 pounds. Danny Kramer who pleased the man in the middleweight fighting rights recently meets Bobby Fernandez for 6 rounds at 126 pounds, and Pat McGraw opens the show with Sailor Fay at 126 pounds for 4 or less sessions. Tom Jones who has handled more champions than any man in the game and who has two of the best Coast prize winners in Johnny Adams and Neil Clisby is really a man to be counted on in the tight game. He predicted his boy to send the California Bear to birdland and he did. He predicted that Neil would hit Goffrey good and hard on his jaw and he did, taking six rounds from the "black bottom" champ. As we go to press the first preliminary is going on in Morie Cohen's new stadium. The card follows: Mack House vs. Neil Clisby, main event, ten rounds; Ralph Lincoln vs. Jimmy Black, semi-windup, six rounds; Walter Beck vs. Pete Savedia, four rounds; Brad St. Charles vs. Jimmy Harrison, four rounds; Willie O'Connor vs. Frank Echeverrin, four rounds. Johnny Adams and Cottrelle At Hollywood Stadium Johnny Adams vs. Jimmy Gotrelle, main event, ten rounds; Bobby La-Salle vs. Georgie Gordon, semi-windup, six rounds; Young Carrson vs. Young Magdaleno, six rounds. New York, N. Y., July 27 - With Miller and Lyles in their gorgeous new "Rang Tang" and Ethel Waters starring in "Africana," opening the same season with "Bottomlands" and "Williams" revue "Bottomlands" also downtown goes into its fourth week, one might opine that the season for colored shows is already in full swing, and if the full houses which have been greeting them even lasse torrid July nights are any criterion, they are in for a successful stay. While the critics who have been predicting that colored shows could not longer make it on Broadway and the white women's clubs which have been passing resolutions urging the prohibition of these shows, where their husbands were getting too "free and easy views of brownskin pulchritude," are not making much headway. Flourney Miller has been threatening for some years to do this thing which has finally come close to accep- tion. She is a perfect Nerp, musical comedy. In "Rhang Tang" which is play at the Royal Theatre, 45th and Broadway, from the moment Ford Dabney lifts his baton as the curtain rises until the final ensemble, there's not a draggy moment. The action is fast. The book is snappy. The plot unwraps a tale of two colored barbers who farced by their justifiable unpopularity to flee "Jim Town" steal an aerospace and land in an idealized Africa which rivals the Arabian Nights, the kind of an Africa most Negroes have always dreamed about; and Miller and Lyles with a comedy Negroid but artistically clever and up to the minute spend enough time on the stage to dominate the evening. There's a capable supporting company, Evelyn Preer, the prima donna, makes one wish that coupled with the wonderful experience she has had and her undoubted talent, she could call back that face and form of her adolescent lays ten or fifteen years ago. Such a combination would be hard to beat. Zardee Jackson, who after several years as a soubette at last has a big chance, entirely justifies, a sparkling personality, vivacious, and hardworking, she shines. Others who attract are May Barnes, and Lavinia Mack, a terpichocean in her and Myron Charlie, Davis and Jerry Mills have worked wonders with the chorus which is large, hot looking, and beautifully costumed, although would like to have seen what Louis Douglas would have done with such an aggregation to work with. One wishes for more critical observations to give, but the show which to me accents better than 'Shuffle Along', a common standard of measurement, justifies but few. Outstanding single voices are missing except in the case of Josephine of Sheba, who is the role of Queen of Sheba and whose "come to Africa" after Miller and Lyles fall into the ocean off its shores is well done. Ford Dahney has provided some tuneful music, which he directs with a spirit that recalls, particularly in the unique solo for the banjo, the family bent as exemplified in Wendell Phillips Dahney, his cousin. Joe Wilts with a beautiful bass voice songs some of it with the male chorus that rivals the Student Prince. The book is by Kay Gnnt, the lyrics by Jo Trent, whiles Flouney Miller staged the entire production. On last Friday night the Los Angeles campa de the American Woodmen held their joint annual installation of officers at the Masonic Hall. Prior to the installation, a special program in honor of the delegates who had just returned from the Woodmen district convention held in Kansas City at which J. R. Restor of Los Angeles was elected president, was held. Very comprehensive reports of the convention were made by Mr. Rec. Burges, who was close of which each received a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Clara K. Burges made the speech of presentation. A splendid reading depicting the merite of fraternal insurance was delivered by Mrs. Iona Alley. At the conclusion of the installation refreshments were served in abundance. State Supervisor, B. H. Graham installed the following officers of camps number one, two and five respectively: Commanders E. W. Fisher, Alva L. Pullam and Atty. Curtis C. Taylor; Vice-Com. Elizabeth Sneed, Willie L. Willingham and Shirley Freeman; Clerks J. E. Ector, H. K. Watkins and Chas. L. Daniels; Recorders Miyuki Agnes Williams and Marie Brooks; Barbara Dr. B. L. Boswell, Elijah Cooper, and Clarence S. Smith; Auditors, Zach H. Moore, Elizabeth Stegall and Egene Allen; Escorts, Luther Eads, James Jones and Leslie Franklin; Prelates, Nancy Denard, Alice J. Chappell and Rev. Chas. H. Cotton; Sentry, Carrie B. Fowks, Sarah Parks and Andre Burd; Watchmen, Annie Downward, Reuben Biggs and George Monch; Cmch. Sick Committees, Henry Green, Mary B. Brown and Mary E. Fuller; Worthy Guardian of Juveniles, Kansas B. Wortz; Chm. Green Cross Nurse Corps Pearl Ruthledge; Chm. Sunshine Club, Gertrude Matthies. Young Walton, one of the most efficient officers on the force for the past four years, is back from a 30 day vacation to Akron, Ala, where he was visiting his mother. He also visited Chicago, IL, and Tuscaloosa, Ala, and is now back on the night. watch refreshed and ready for work. tertainment, with a number of vaudeville acts, and reconstructed stage sketches serves Miss Ethel Waters as a starring vehicle. She as usual is a delightfully suave artist, put over her songs in a fashion that instantly captivates her audiences in the intimate little theatre she is using. For the past several years we have been complaining that white people were stealing the dances our folk originated, refining them and coining the cash and glory resultant. We are catching up and the dancing in African proves it. Louis Douglas has performed miracles with a perfectly matched brown chorus, the best Ivp seen. Glenn and Jenkins in the street sweeping scene score of course. Fisher and Baby and Bobbie Golans are good while Bass not only uses his sweet tenor voice, but proves to be quite an actor. There are no song hits. In "Rang Tang," "Jungle Rose" and Rang Tang store some and in "African," Miss Waters says "Weary Feet" and "Smile." Clelyf she uses her old songs. Clarence Williams "Bottom Lande" I have not yet seen. It started its first week rather poorly. I hear, but each week has shown an improvement. So with these three shows going, all of them we hope, destined to long life, the season is off. May good luck and prosperity hover over it. (By: A. N. P. New York, N. Y., July 27.—According to the letter he received from the New York B. P. O. E., who returned last week from Chennai, where he had been to right the annual session of the B. P. O. E. (white), the latter have agreed not to oppose their efforts to have the Grattan Law set aside. Counselor Billions, chairman of the committee, showed a letter which he explained was signed by the Grand Exalted Ruler and Grand Exalted Secretary of the white lodge, stating they were willing that the law should be removed. The Secretary of the New York B. P. O. E. responded to the New York Blks. to be present at the hearing, before Judge Morchauser at White Plains, New York, when the case comes up next Friday, and to state that the white Blks no longer oppose the existence of the Negro lodges. The original resentment or white Elks is said to be due to a belief on their part that the ritual of their order was purified from them to form the base of the black organization. The splendid work being done by the Negro antlered tribe has, it is reported, mellowed their attitude. (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., July 27—Despite the war of injections, the rapid rise of changes at meeting place, and the general unrest which has kept the world of Eikkom and a good portion of the population on the same month or so, the chances are that the I. B. P. O. E. will hold its annual session right in little old New York. Even Finley Wilson, Grand Eskedal Ruler, wants to go there, and V the New York lodges will do into one thing, he has promised to issue another—famous proclamation, moving the Grand Lodge to Gotham. New York really wants the event and have agreed to do the necessary thing—endorses Finley. The exiled ruler slipped quietly into town last Friday a week ago and met seven members of the executive committee or the official New York entertainment body, on which are such prominent antlers as Dr. Hudson, J. Oliver, chairman, Jack W. Duncan; Tom Brown, Sec.; Jesse Battle; J. Dolmus Steele; Ferdinand Q. Morton; Andrew Mitchell and Sam B. Mitchell. Mr. Wilson did not go up into Harlem, but met the group at the Commonwealth Hotel down in Greenwich Village. With him were Perry W. Howard, S. A. T. Watkins and Oliver Randick. They got down to brass tasks. The Eik Cheltain made it clear that what he wanted was reelection and protection. Some New York Elks had threatened him, he is reported to have complained. He demanded the endorsement of at least two of the New York lodges, especially Mite Moranch 54. Action started. Imperial 127 met Tuesday night and endorsed Wilson. Mohavach did the same Wednesday and Manhattan is expected to follow suit. Whereupon Wilson has promised to issue the old proclamation and move the session to New York from Jersey City where it is now temporarily reeling. Those New Yorkers claim Fletley has been up a tree at the Willie that they have had no candidate and that Dalmar Steele whose name has been mentioned cannot carry his own lodge. Their wife is shirred. A high-class group or men always the center of attraction at Elke gatherings they are afraid the fest or the country will think New York Elke are not free that "a man can't live in New York and throw his shoulders back as an elk." 212, 5, 10 Acre and larger tracts if desired.

The Misses Anna, Dolley, Hazel Barley, Maddie Simmons, Haleel Thunna, Alpha Williams, and I spent two weeks at the Animal! Grit Reserve Conference which is held every summer at the close of school in Autumn, Monterey County. We met a splendid time living out of doors and a wonderful opportunity to get mett J. Scott the lion's share of the world, because the effective manner in which he led the force into theray. The threatened appointment of a white man was not due to any lack of colored candidates. Charles Mitchell of West, Virginia, was a most active applicant. Attorney George Woodson of Iowa, despite his age, had a slack of endorsements on file of great weight. National Committeesmen Ben J. Davis and Perry Howard had united on the son of Dr. Harris of Augusta, Georgia, a "tee" which continued during the last campaign endorsed Mr. Francis. This group had Hon. Clarence Matthew's support sent from Taraway San Francisco. But despite all this, the growing importance of Liberia since the entry of the Firestones and the probable in crease of the salary to $10,000 a year has made the State Department in the eyes of the State Department, it is said. Too, they had the unfortunate record of previous monuments of color to bolster their contention. The advisory committee and Dr. Scott through this victory thus loom rather large in the picture of future possibilities. Whatever they may be. Those who have patiently watched the administration attitude despite the undoubted faint spirit of the Republican National Committee under Chairman Butler, do not dare hope for much, however, with the chances for Mr. Coolidge nomination looking as they in Hills it not a black man's viewpoint. It is said, however, that the advisory committee has a program in hand and if they can be as successful in getting its White House to recognize the value of it, as they were in persuading the appointment of a black instead of a white representative to a black country then perhaps we can have hope. FOR 21/2, 5, 10 Acre and larger Sidney will give girls in their middle class in various ethnic groups. There were seven to nine hundred girls in all, they will all nine of those who representatives of our race. I might add that it was truly a good representation. There were girls from all over the United States and quite a number from the Hawaiian Islands. With such contact among the girls of the different races we are hoping that a more friendly feeling will be established among all the people of these races. The interest of the girls means to be centrated on swimming and swim. One of the causes for the former is that they are more mature and more middle swimming meet for girls scheduled for July 30. This promises to be one of the biggest meets ever held. Miss Eleanor Garrate of San Rafael who is the joint holder of the national 100 yard record, national 50 yard swimming champion and the Pacific Coast champion over 100 and 200 yard distances is to be one of the entrants in this contest. Other entrants are Lillian "Bunny", Fergus, a fiver of note, from San Francisco and Marlan Gliman, the old dark-hairstone champion of the Pacific Coast, also of San Diego, the winner this year of the Silver Gate swim and Dorothy Justice, of the same city, another Pacific Coast backstroke. ASSETS JAN. 1, 1925-$1,248,143.61 Pays Sick, Accidental, Burial and Death BENEFITS-ISSUES POLICIES FOR $250 TO $3,000 The local champions entered are Carol Fletcher, national champion in 1924 and present coast champion; Betty Becker Finkton, Olympic diving champion in 1924, and national diving champion in 1928; Lois Massler, Pacific Coast junior pentathlon champion; Wanda Randolph, junior Pacific Coast diver; Dorothy Poynton, 16-year-old diving champion. This young girl took second in the national junior event in 1929 and second in the national event in 1937, a few of the entrants, so you can see why they expect this meet to be the best yet. It is really too bad that none of our girls will be represented in this meet merely because of the lack of training. B. 4. H.

This was the measure to require all motorists to purchase automobile liability insurance. Automobile liability insurance is designed to protect not the injured person but the owner or operator of the motor vehicle, and the early policies provided that even the owner or operator had no claim against the insurance company until a judgment against him had been obtained by the injured person and until the insured had paid, this judgment. Business also have brought about a change until now the standard form of policy in this state is practically a contrebet between the insured person and the insurance company for the benefit of the injured person. However, it is still true that if the injured person is guilty of any negligence which prominently contributes to his own injury, he cannot recover from the motorist and will not benefit from the existence of a policy of in surance. The agitation for compulsory automobile insurance arose from the class of cases where grievous injury was suffered by innocent persons at the hands of careless and often drunken drivers, who were found to be without property of any kind sufficient to pay even in part for the damage caused. Unfortunately, such cases are many in number, and yet the best figures obtainable indicate that in this state such claims would hardly amount to $4,000,000, whereas the cost of making all motorists inure would be nearly $20,000,000. And even though all motorists were insured, a large number of uncompensated persons would still suffer, first, because or their own negligence, and second, because thieves and booting still exist and would not stop, following an accident, to reveal their identity. But the Legislature decided that the proposition deserves study and provided for the appointment of a commission for that purpose to report at the next session. In the meantime, we will have available the reports of accidents and their causes and will be in possession of data upon which to base sound conclusions. Judge (to woman witness) "Do you understand the nature of an oath?" "Witness: 'Well, my husband is a golfer and my son drives a second-hand driver.'" Repairs received from the Southern District office, or the State Fish and Game Commission indicate that Mono and Idyll counties are rapidly reaching the front ranks as ideal spots for those wishing a rest out amid beautiful surroundings and in a country where the streams are well stocked with fine fish, according to the National Antonionville Club. Although some of the lakes are still inaccessible due to the late melting of heavy snows in the high altitudes, fishing is reported good in June. There are many streams that traverse this section. The Los Angeles office of the fish and game commission patrols this section and reports that it is becoming an ideal playground. Just recently the first plant of fish made under the new program of operations adopted this year by the Commission was made in Mono, Inyo and Alpine waters. Fish almost a year old, ranging in height in inches to seven inches in length were taken from Mt. Whitney Hatchery to the number of over 20,000 and planted in the various streams. The most spectacular feat performed was the transportation of 2,000 of these fish well able to take care of themselves fine sport for anglers, to Alpine County, a trip of 270 miles over mountain roads. These fish were placed in the streams without the loss of a single fish, each from raining away as soon as liberated from the can. Duties of the fish and game commissioners using trucks furnished by the Rainbow Club of Inyo County made the plant; The entire planting of 20,600 fish was done with less than one per cent loss, and the chances of the fish surviving are almost 100 per cent, Charles B. Bauder, captain in charge of the Southern District predicts. The commission plans to build a fine new hatchery at Bridgeport in Mono County this year, and in this way will be able to stock the streams with considerable more efficiency than under previous methods. This beautiful High Sierra section Wood Wilson gave his Dodge a country string Saturday and Sunday.

Claud Neil parked his high power- ers and chasay auto in front of his business last. Monday night, drained the gas tank and sold gas, took the money and bet on Ace Hudkins. The Avende knows the rest. Claud and his friends, some twenty more than he started with, came home in taxis. For further information see Mr. Neil. Traffice Officer Roseborough has had Ninth and Central painted red: Real paint. You know his——so naturally he likes red. Some, or us don't but it's all right officer. I think it was Sigmons's philosophy that to help men one must go where the men are who need help most, so that was why he never lost his contact with men who work with work with their hands, while having the right to the company of men who had won distinction with their minds. At the funeral of Cicero C. Sigmons humbly folk mingled with the elite leaders of Tucson, Arizona, where he had resided and worked, and they were well-deceased educators as a man who had done mills for his life than any other—with by labor and by present. They heard Superintendent Dr. Griffin the State School for the Deaf and Blind, point to him as an example to inspire those who labored under difficulties, an one who had accomplished greatly after overcoming great obstacles. Arizona is a young state, but it was no small compliment to those comparatively young race leaders than no such Gibbite had ever been given to the late Cibee C. Simmons—and it was general recognition that Simmons race had achieved through him as a fine representative of it. That he would have wrought greatly and vallanty for his race had he lived in certain and the state of Arizona, an as well as a big prize, ennounced and rewarded by the state, which oftentimes officiated his wills to combine an imprisonment not only to his own people, but to all who are ambitious to succeed against heavy odds and who are guided and ennured by a love for their fellows and a fear to serve them.
