1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1927 Chief Justice Taft Gives Far Reaching Decision VOLUME 41 GARY COUNCIL TO REPEAL JIM CROW RULING BY: A. N. FIELDS Acting under pressure forced by a recent probe of the Gary school situation launched by the Elks body thru its grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson, Mayor Floyd E. Williams of Gary, Ind., at the next meeting of the City Council to signify, will have the Council repeat the ordinance appropriating $15,000.00 for a segregated school building for race students. While the injunction suit against the erection of the proposed inferior building is still pending in the circuit court of Porter county, it will be automatically destroyed if the mayor of Gary keeps his promise as set forth in a letter Thursday to Shoridan A. Bruneaux of the Keystone National Detective Agency, leading the investigation for the Elks. For weeks Mr. Bruneaux, working in conjunction with the head of the fraternal orders, has been making a quiet but extensive probe of the Gary School situation which grew out of the strike two months ago of 1,400 white students of Emerson High School against the presence of 24 of their classmates not white. REVEALS' BLACK KLAN As a result of his investigation starting disclosures were made recently which revealed the existence of a "Black Ku Klux Klan" in Gary, referred to as the "Bow Tie Amalgamation." According to the investigator, many leading citizens of Gary were found to be secretly members of the order organized by white officials of the Gary Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Bruseaux concluded his probe of the Gary school situation this week. He tendered his report to the Elks through their leader, J. Finley Wilson, who left Chicago, Thursday after a conference in Gary with Mayor Williams. Wednesday of this week at his home. Mr. Wilson was one of a committee of four prominent Elks of Chicago, who conferred with Gary's mayor. The other committee members were Col. John R. Marshall, Maj. A. E. Patterson and Attorney Louis A. H. Callwell. They sought to get the mayor's version of the school situation. As a result of the conference, he agreed to have the City Council at its next meeting withdraw the $15,000 appropriation to the school board. The mayor made this clear in the following letter to Mr. Bruseaux: MAYOR WILLIAMS' LETTER "Please be advised that it is my desire that you discontinue your investigation in the Gary school case, as I feel that with the co-operation of some of my true and loyal friends the facts which have been so sadly misrepresented to date will be known." "I have been in communication with J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the B. P. O. E., anticipating that he might interest himself and the members of the Elks lodge in an educational program which would bring about a mutual understanding between the City of Gary and its colored citizens. Very much to my surprise a committee composed of Mr. Wilson, Col. John R. Marshall, Maj. A. E. Patterson and Attorney Louis A. H. Caldwell called upon me at my home last evening to ascertain the true facts and at least extend to me the courtesy of listening to my version of this situation. After a thorough explanation to them I am satisfied that they will convey to the Colored group of citizens an unbiased and unprejudiced detailed report of what really happened and the part that the civil city had to do with the proposed project. "I explained to them that I would advise the common council at the next regular meeting to repeal the ordinance appropriating $15,000,000 to the school city, which will automatically destroy the suit now pending in the Porter County circuit court and will eliminate any additional expenditure of money on the part of any Colored organization and will place the entire situation in the hands and under the jurisdiction of the school city of Gary, where jurisdiction should rest, in the opinion or some of the self-styled leaders of the Colordt group. I am sure they will be pleased and will accept without controversy what action the school city will take in the future as they have expressed their exploit confidence in the school city and have criticized very severely the civil city. However, our action in this matter relieved the tension which existed among our people during this period of misunderstanding. "I also explained to them what the civil city had done for the Colored citizens by passing a resolution at the same meeting and on the same night Mrs. Mamie Vena Laid To Rest Mrs. Mamie Plumb Vena departed this life Sunday, the 13th inst., at the White Memorial Hospital, after an illness of more than a year. The funeral services were held at the Angelus Funeral Parlors, Wednesday the 16th inst., Father Cleghorn officiating. The remains were placed temporarily in the vault at Evergreen Cemetery. She was a native of Ohio and leaves a husband James M. Vena, Sr., and three children - James M. Jr., Dorothy and Cyrus. A loved one has answered the call of the silent messenger and passed from our sight leaving our hearts beweared and lonely, but heaven will forever seem nearer and dearer when we think of our loved ones there.

When Thou retook st' twas not mine Thy will in all be done." HOOSIT? BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS (By; A. N. P.) 106—He was born in Carthage in 160 A. D. In 190 he was converted to Christianity and for sometime live in Rome. He had the heart of a Christian with the intelligence of an advocate, and with a style most vivid, vigorous and concise he became the greatest writer of his age. Many of his phrases have become proverbal, l. a.: "The blood or the martyrs is the seed of the Church." "The unity of hectics sciism," etc. He died in 230 A. D. Dhoosit? Answer to Hoosit? 105—Terence. (By: A. N. P.) There is a classic that goes the rounds every so often of the man who gut up in one of the early sessions of the National Negro Business League and told about his beginning in the coal business. The story goes, as told by him, was that he was walking along the road one day and stumbled over a big lump of coal that had fallen out or a passing coal wagon. He picked this up, too kit home, broke it up into a basket and sold it for a dime. He invested the dime in more coal which he sold for a quarter. Buying a quarter's worth wholesale, he broke this up and sold it, earning a dollar with it. He invested his dollar in coal wholesale and realized four dollars from his retail sales. And by continuing to invest his receipts in new stock wholesale, and selling retail, he had, within a few years, become a wealthy wholesale dealer in coal and wood, operating several trucks and in the dozen coal yards. Of course, it didn't matter that way, but the lesson is a good one. George W. Cable, in one of his novels of the old south, has one of his Italian characters begin in practically the same way selling baked apples on a stick, with the sugar dripping from the apples. Within a few years this Italian was the biggest fruit and produce man in New Orleans. The history of American business is filled with instances of small beginnings that have led to big financial and industrial successes. Almost every nationally known product of today had a small beginning. Starting with an idea in the mind of some man with oftimes no capital but his energy and his brains, he sold the idea and his integrity to his friends who financed him for a share in the profits, and by hard work and the merit of his product he oftimes emerges into a captain or industry. Henry Ford didn5t have money to put into the making of his car. John and Horace Dodge put up the first ten thousand dollars that started the business. Louis Chevrolet was a Detroit mechanic who made four cars bearing his name after twelve months' effort. Today Chevrolets are made at the rate of more than a thousand a day. A few years ago a couple in a small New Jersey town began the manufacture of fudge candy, which they sold to passing autoists. Their whole equipment was the pans in their kitchen and a cooking stove. Today they have a modern factory occupying a city block, with labor saving machinery and their product is sold at ten LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER'25, 1927 Dean Pickens To Visit Los Angeles Soon Dean William Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., is expected to be in Los Angeles early in February for the purpose of assisting the Los Angeles Branch in its preparation for the 19th annual conference of the N. A. A. C. P. that will convene in Los Angeles early in June. Dean Pickens is expected to organize and conduct baby show here that will eclipse anything that has ever been done in that line. As anrator or Stateman, moulder, exponent of Americanism, Dean Pickens has no poor and the people o the West Coast will be fortunate to have Dean Pickens among them for this effort. All groups are expected to support this movement. THIS IS YOUR FIGHT Fifty Year Old Man Slain In Brawl (By; A, N, P.) Raleigh, N. C., Nov. — In what police described as a liquor brawl, participated in by ten men and women. Lougene Jones, age fifty, was shot to death here Saturday morning. While there were several of the men armed and confessed that they had fired shots, Reuben Taylor, age 25, was charged with the crime. The group was returning from a party when the free-for-all began and the shooting followed. The police say that Taylor confessed that he fired the shot that killed Jones and claimed that he shot in self-defense, but the police declared that no weapon was found belonging to Jones. MAN BURIED ALIVE (By: A. N. P.) Aiken, S. C. Nov. —Harold Montague was instantly killed when he was buried alive. The man was employed by the Clinton Wynn Gravel Company, and was digging gravel from the banks of the Shaw's Creek when he was buried under five feet of gravel. thousand road side stands. Their fortune is made. A Norwark woman began baking home-made pies in her own kitchen. The demand was so great that she was able to induce the bankers to put her up a factory. A few years later she sold out to the Pie Trust for a fortune. Two young men experimented with a candy mint with a hole for two years before they could make a dealer or jobkert take it on for sale. They hired five men to dress up in an imitation package and walk down Sixth Avenue. This advertising, followed by other stunts and perfecting their product, turned their rented back room into a million dollar factory and increased their profits from $32 in 1918 to a million dollar profit in 1926. There are hundreds of instances which might be cited where white men and women, too, began the manufacture of a product in their homes and developed million dollar businesses. A Cincinnati woman put up Olorono in her home, and sold it from store to store. Today it is sold at every drug store and toilet counter in America. The same opportunities still exist. And, they exist for our people, too, if they would only take advantage of them. A wide opportunity exists in food products, table delicacies, relishes, and condiments. Who can beat our women preparing jellies and preserves, or baking pies or bread? A bake shop preparing clean food in the tasteful fashion o four grandmothers, and kept clean and sanitary, would draw unto itself within a short time the cream of the trade in any community, large or small. Southern-born people coming into Northern communities who could furnish a new and tastefully prepared bread or pie or meat or preserve need not look further for a chance to make money. The trouble is we are not a race of pioneers. We are afraid to venture two steps away from the beaten path. Because two of our women made success with hair pomade, every woman wants to do only that. They are afraid they might be laughed at if they cooked. They laughed at Madams Walker when she began cooking hair. They laughed at Mrs. Wagner, too but Mrs. Wagner's pies made as much money as Madame Walker's pomade. If you can't begin any other way, try the shoe-string method, only begin somewhere and make something. Big Dinner Honoring Retiring Captain of Detectives J. E. Erven In appreciation of the long and highly creditable years of service on the Los Angeles Police Department by Captain or Detectives J. E. Erven, the officers and members of the Newton Street Department honored him on last Tuesday with a huge dinner in which all the force of detectives and other officers who were available partook. It was a happy occasion for all present. The very tempting and appetizing special menu had been prepared by Mrs. Rueben Scott who is the wife of Sergeant Scott who heads the vice squad. Mrs. Scott was the recipient of congratulations for the wonderful repast. Captain L. L. McClary in a very appropriate speech presented retiring Captain Erven with a beautiful badge which was the gift of his fellow officers. The badge was embellished with 4 large diamonds and rubles. There is not a member or the force but who regrets the retirement of Captain Erven; he was one of the pilars of strength for the department and has ever commanded the esteem and respect of all the members of the force. Glass Declares South Will not Tolerate Sufrage for Negroes (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C. Nov. — In true southern fashion, Senator Carter G. Glass of Virginia, declared here Tuesday, that the South was opposed to suffrage for Negroes because the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were forced upon the South and threatened white supremacy in that section. The Senator from Virginia was explaining his view of the question in answer to an editorial which appeared in the New York World charging him with inconsistency in that he was in favor of the federal government inforcing the 18th amendment but did not approve or sending federal agents to Kentucky to supervise state elections there. In spite of the fact that both or the amendments were constitutional the senator declared that there was no analogy and set forth the time worm argument of Negrophobists that the 14th and 15th amendments were passed "in the passions of war, and constituted an attempt to destroy white civilization in nearly one-third of the nation and to erect on its ruins an Ethiopian state, ignorant, profiteg, corrupt, controlled by manumit slaves, not one per cent of them semiliterate and these led by a band of white miscreants, execrated in figures in the nightmare of reconstruction." This statement, coming from Senator Glass who represents the Negro-hating white element of the South, caused no surprise and indicated that the senator, realizing that the aristocrats opposed him, was appealing to his supporters who might be laboring under the impression that his term in the senate had made him a high-brow. Senator Borah, who in various ways has indicated his hostile feeling to ward Negro, saddled the issue by declaring that he was in favor or enforcing the entire constitution including the 14th, 15th, and 18th amendments. Coroners Jury Refutes Reported Suicide of J. D. Johnson Mrs. Dorothy Johnson wife of John D. Johnson deceased who was reported in last week's issue of this paper as a suicide informs us that the report is untrue and points to the coroner's jury which brought in a verdict of accidental death from clorformo poisoning. Mrs. Johnson also brands as untrue that there was an estraangement between herself and husband. The reception at Wesley Chapel on last Friday in honor of the selection of Dr. A. P. Shaw as a delegate to the General Conference of the great M. E. Church was indicted a most magnificent and unusual success. Prominent churchmen occupied places of honor on the platform, and a most excellent program was presented consisting of song and short addresses by the various representatives. Conspicuous among those present were the Hon. Virgil Martin, Councilman from the 5th District, and a high churchman of Dr. Shaw's connection, he paid a high compliment to Dr. Shaw and went so far as to mention him for the Bishopric; others likewise paid the intrepid pastor high tribute. At the conclusion of the program all present were conducted to the banquet hall of the church where a most suspicious repast was h ld. (By: A. N. P.) Florence, S. C., Nov. 23—The bullets which crashed through the windows of the Atlantic Coast Line train as it passed through here on October 2 turned out to be pebbles hurled by three youths when the case was investigated here Tuesday. Confessions were made by Willie Carter, Charlie McNeil, and Taff Vaughn to the effect that they had thrown the pebbles through the windows, "just for fun." FACES ONE PAGE OF CHARGES (By: A. N. P.) Salisbury, N. C. Nov. 23—It took one whole pge to record the charges against John Agnew when he was arrested here Sunday night. Among the charges listed on this page in the police book are: transporting liquor, speding and reckless driving, passing red signal lights and committing assault with a deadly weapon, to wit an automobile. When officers and citizens finally corroded Agnew he rushed them striking one wite man in the face with his fist and knocking him down. He is being held under a thousand dollar bond. This Was Too Much Even For Churchmen This Was Too Much Even For Churchmen (Dy: A. N. P.) Danville, Va., Nov. 23.—The publication of views on racial equality, written by Rev. A. L. Stevenson, caused quite a stir in the Virginia Methodist Conference, here Sunday in which the minister declared that "Justice to the Negro means giving him equal opportunity in all particulars with the white man and that any bars to progress should be individual and not racial." Rev. Stevenson is also a student at Duke University, and according to reports, have before voiced such opinions. It is the belief that he will be called upon the carpet to explain his statements and that he will be disciplined by the Conference. Such a Christian-like attitude is too much for the prejudiced-ridden churchmen. Gets Pardon After 21 Years (By: A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 23.—The State Board of Pardon issued a pardon to Angelo Jackson, who has been for almost twenty-one years in the Western Penitentiary for the murder of Gertrude Nicolais. At the time the murder was committed. Jackson was employed as gardener by Mary Roberts Rhinehart, the novelist. He was sentenced to be hanged by an Allegheny County Court, but later had his sentence commutted. Dr. S. M. Rhinehart, the husband of the novelist, and M. A. Musmanno, who was one of the attorneys in the Sacco-Vanzetti case, made pleas to the board for the freedom of Jackson, whom Dr. Rhinehart is alleged, to have referred to as "a poor Southern nigger." (By; A, N, P.) Monroe, La., Nov. 23. - Manda Perkins, 10 year old girl, was shot and killed by a school mate, De Voito Bleds saw of about the same age.

P) Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 23.—Mrs. Leola Lawson was arrested here charged with murdering her husband Will Lawson, who was shot and killed at thirty-second Street and Seventh Avenue, & 2:40 o'clock Monday morning.

On last Tuesday morning the Times came forth with glearing headlines stating that Race segregation in public schools had been sustained by the Supreme Court. The rolling Black Hills of Mississippi furnished the setting for this drama, the sense of which speaks not so much against the dark peoples of this country as it does against the doctrine of freedom and Liberty for all, the rock upon which this Republic was built. We do not hang our heads in shame for ourselves, but for our country, for we realize that there is a future and who knows what this future will bring forth? It may be that America will need a solid dark phalxy to defend her honor and integrity and to say to the peoples of the world this proud American flag shall never touch the ground. America has enslaved the Negro but set him free. Lynched him by hanging him on a tree. Burned him at the stake for White Supremacy's sake. Still he holds on fast and shall until the last. For this is his cherished home From which he ne'er shall roam. This is his native land He has worked, toil'd and planned. For a future in the sun. When his race of toil is run. So Far But No Further Says Usherette Last Tuesday afternoon when Jno. B. (caffey (colored) and M. Goldstein (white) attempted to enter the Hippodrome Theatre, the dainty little white usherette held up her hand against their entrance indicating that they could not be admitted. Mr. Goldstein inquired as to the trouble, and was told that he could come in but the colored man could not, whereupon Mr. Goldstein said that unless my friend can come in I shall not. The two men were not admitted, and Mr. Caffey is now instituting suit against the Theatre for this unamerican treatment, and violation of civil rights. WE started down the Avenue last Saturday evening; went into one of our most popular cafes where service on the part of the management and the waiters was up to the standard, but where behavior on the part of the patrons was abominable. We realize that in all races and groups there are good bad and indifferent, but in other races than the Negro, there is a more pronounced dividing line between these classes. Hence they get some sort of rating, but the Negro people are dumped into one social sack by all other races except his --- ON Sunday morning, we left the city by way of the Ridge Route for Tulare, passing through Bakersfield and Alensworth, we visited our good friends, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Parker at Corcoran, where at the close of the day, we watched from the summit of the hill a most beautiful sunset, milked cows and saw the chickens and turkeys say their prayers and retire for the night. BUSINESS concerns conducted by our group are not so prolific between 26th and 27th streets on Central avenue. They are represented, however, with the following business and professional men: Masonic Cemetery Association; Elijah Cooper Realty Company; and Dr. F. E. Whiteman. Kiler Gets Twenty-One Years (By: A. N. P.) Helena, Ark., Nov. 23.—A sentence of 21 years in prison was imposed on Frank Brown in the circuit court here Tuesday, when he was found guilty of second degree murder in connection with the killing of his brother-in-law, Henry Anderson, last spring. Brown claimed that he shot Anderson in self-defence. It is not possible to paint too blackly the crime of arson. In the English language, ample though it is, there are not adjectives vile enough to characterize as he deserves the willful and malicious burner. Nothing gives him pause. The man who stoops to the torch would stoop, without hesitation, to murder of the foulest kind. Nero who fired Rome, also assassinated his own mother, and so, indeed, would the arsonist of today, if such an unspeakable deed would furnish his dark ends. And he is as cowardly, as craven, as his deed is foul. Desperadoes there were in the vanished days of the west who robbed and plundered and killed—the Jaes boys, for instance, and Tracy of Oregon. They stopped at nothing else, but they stopped at arson. There they drew the line. They did not shoot women and children and they did not burn. The incendiary, slinking, cat-eyed, shunning daylight and operating only in the dead of night, is a creature such as even the "bad en" of yesterday would have recoiled from, deeming him unit for their society. How much more, then, should he be condemned by every decent, right-thinking, law abiding American! For the arsonist is crafty without being clever; cruel without being courageous; evil without possessing a single redeeming quality to plead for him at the bar or public opinion. Since pity or any of the finer human attributes is foreign to his nature, so always with the process of the law—must pity be absent from his treatment when he is caught and brought to justice. He must be scotched like the snake he emulates. America will never be an entirely healthful country for honest, God-fearing people to inhabit until it is made too hot for these employers of fire.—"The Advance," Redondo Beach, Cal., Sept. 27, 1927. Louisville, Ky., Nov. — Louisville citizens have been in the midst of one of the most bitter elections ever held in this city. The Republicans won out over the Democrats. The election was made bitter because of the fact that a group of well-known Negro citizens including Fighting Bill Warley, Editor of the Louisville News, was leading the fight. During the last days there were campaign addresses, newspaper articles written and every political trick resorted to. The Democrats in an effort to win out locked up our group on trumped up charges a few days previous to the election, hiding many of them in the jail in order to prevent them from voting. Some were given sentences in the workhouse, while others were hid away in suburban jails. The Judge of the Criminal Court issued an order freeing all of the prisoners. The Democrats became desperate and beat up Republican voters and ex-officiers. In spite of this, the Republicans carried the City and State by a large majority. On the eve of election a crowd of half grown boys and men armed to the teeth with knives and pistols wrecked several business establishments of those who voted and supported the democratic ticket, included among these being William Warley, editor of the News, who had made a hard fight against the Republican Party. Last week the News was not issued on account of the inconvenience. Citizens and local papers have condemned the actions of these unknown parties who wrecked the different places. The election has almost wrecked the Democratic Party in Louisville. Many of the police officers, including two race, detectives, have been indicted before the criminal court on serious charges. These indictments include captains, lieutenants, Sergeants, and police detectives. An effort is being made to reach the persons higher up. From all indications there will be many appointments that will be given our race. Many of those who have been cited to appear before the Criminal Court have skipped out before warrants for their arrest have been served. William Warley will publish his paper this week, and he promises to continue the publication. His only reply to the great damage to his plant was that "hereafter he would run a newspaper instead of a race paper." On the night of the wrecking of these places, men and boys ran wild, firing revolvers, beating up newspaper vendors, and creating a disturbance never before witnessed in Louisville. The new Mayor, W. B. Harrison, will take his seat next week, also other city and county officers. Jail Pastor As Lottery Operator New York, Nov. —Mrs. Mary Holmes, professed pastor of a church in Harlem, has been lodged in jail for three months on the charge or running a lottery. Mrs. Holmes posed as a solicitor of contributions to a church, as the detectives claim, and when arrested had 300 lottery tickets hidden in her bible. She was also charged with holding "luck" meetings attended by white girls. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. — To stimulate interest and pride in agricultural achievement, certificates of merit will for the first time be awarded at the 37th annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, which meets here December 7-8, to the most outstanding farmers of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Through the county agents of the U. S. Agricultural Extension Service the best farmer in each state will be selected and awarded the certificate at the Conference. The wives of the winners will receive cash awards. Five factors are considered in the rating of the candidates: First, operation and organization of the farm; second, business methods and ability; third, appearance and upkeep of farm and home; fourth, home life; and fifth, citizenship. Meeting with the farmers will be the farm youth of the south who will hold the third annual boys' and girls' Four H-Club Camp at the Institute, December 5-8. BANDIT GETS 20 TO 40 YEARS (Bv: A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. —Charles Scott has been sentenced from twenty to forty years in the Eastern State Penitentiary by Judge Edwin O. Lewis, who believes that Negroes should stay south. Scott a few months ago attempted to hold up a storekeeper in his establishment in the northern part of the city, but was overpowered and captured without getting any loot. Manns To Die In Electric Chair (By: A. N. P.) Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. — A verdict of murder in the first degree, with the penalty fixed at death in the electric chair was rendered by a jury in Court of Oyer and Terminer after the jurors had deliberated all night. Clifford A. Manns, 23 years old, is the man convicted. He shot, and killed William Jackson on May 2 last. It was learned from the evidence submitted that Manns borrowed Jackson's overcoat and some money, to go to Woodside Park, and on a day or two after when Jackson wanted his overcoat and money for the purpose of taking a trip to Baltimore, Manns refused to give up either. A fight started and Manns drew a revolver and fired four shots, two of which struck Jackson and caused his instant death. ALMOST KEEP MRS MALONE OUT (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Nov. —So great was the crush at the first annual divine service of the New York Poro Agents Club Sunday evening, November 13, at Abyssianian Baptist Church that when Mrs. Annie M. Malone, head of Poro College, entered the auditorium she was compelled to remain in the rear until the Rev. A. Clayton Powell had finished his sermon. Hundreds were unable to get inside. The ushers experienced much difficulty handling the crowd standing near the doors. When Mrs. Malone sought to establish her identity she was unable to do so. After standing a few moments she managed to squeeze into a seat in the last row. Mrs. S. Moody was Mistress of Ceremonies, "The History of Poro College" was read by Mrs. A. Tyree Alkins, Miss E. W. Purnello sang a solo, remarks were made by Mrs. Vivian Potte, and a selection was read by Miss Anderson. Mrs. Malone succeeded in making her way to the front of the church after Dr. Powell's sermon. She was introduced by Dr. E. P. Roberts, and accorded a hearty welcome. Among the active members of the New York Poro Club are Mrs. Lula Holcombe, president; Mrs. Gertrude Daughty, vice-president; Mrs. Walker, Financial secretary; Mrs. A. Tyree Alikins, recording secretary; also Mrs. Vivian Portee, traveling demonstrator for Poro College, and Mrs. M. DeHaven Hurley-manager of the New York Branch.

Two white men and three colored men were held witho'; bail for further hearing. Lawyer's Tapping Thought To Summon the Spooks Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. —Luella Dickson has been granted, a divorce from her husband, Robert Dickson, winning her victory only after a severe strain on her nervous system. Her husband was represented by a colored lawyer and during the hearings the master and attorneys were greatly surprised when the woman evinced marked regnugance and evident fear of the colored attorney. When asked to explain this seeming fear she admitted that she was a strong believer in "woodooolsm" and when the attorney rapped on the table with his lead pencil while questioning her, she believed that he was summoning spirits to confuse her in giving her testimony.

Formerly of Wilberforce Uni- versity, of Ohio. The key note of Rev. King's re- ligious philosophy is, "Teach men to live here on earth, and get out of this life all the good it can give one." The Rev. feels that if men can be taught this lesson and will react favorably to its teachings dying, and what is to follow death, will take care of itself. TURKEY GETTING Sunday night November 27th, Elder P. G. Wadsworth Pastor at the Wadsworth Seventh Day Adventist Church, 27th and Wadsworth Streets will present one of the most practical and interesting sermons ever delivered to a thinking audience. For years, the Ottoman Empire was called the Sick man of the East, but in these days of the Republic of Turkey, the sick man seems to be somewhat better. But the significance of this Turkish question is clearly outlined in the Prophecy of Daniel and Mr. Rodgers who seems to be adapt in the sensible interpretation of these deep and wonderful bible themes, will give his hearers more than a spiritual thrill when the subject is presented. There is always a pre-service recital on the new Pipe Organ, Mrs. Matthews at the Console beginning at 7:30 P. M. sharp. The preaching service at 8 o'clock. Thursday night. Dec. 1st. Madame Anna Spicer Range will give one of her pleasing and inspiring song recitals and the church cordially invites all to be present. You are made to feel at home in the Adventist church. Take several friends along with you, get them into the habit of going regularly to church. Mrs. Eva Hammond entertained a few friends complimentary to Mrs. Theresa Felton. Sunday who left Monday for Frisco. --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened "You're Next" -By- GLADYCE GREENAWAY The significance now-a-days of Thanksgiving seems to be the turkey and what goes with it, the fact that one can sleep late if one wants to, and the decision as to where one will spend the day, rather than the true meaning of Thanksgiving which is very significant. The Lene Wolf Club gave a very delightful dance at 15th and Main Dancing Academy. Tuesday evening, November 22, and everyone spent an enjoyable evening. During the earlier part of the evening a mumb of the 'gentler sex' played the traps and what we mean, she play it, and how. The Y. W. C. A. has been thoroughly renovated and is now one of the show places of the East Side, thanks to the hard work and concentration of Mrs. Nelson and Miss Ruby Jefferson who have beautified the old "Y" into a very delightful new "Y." The girls are finding the "Y" a more hollier place than of yore and high praises may be heard on all sides. Vesper Services will be held at the "Y" Sunday from 4 to 5 P. M. --- Mrs. Ed. Shaw of West 30th street is the mother of a fine baby girl born a couple of Sunday ago. When we mention that Mrs. Shaw is the sister of Mr. Walter Gregory you will know why he has been doing so much strutting of late, as the title "Uncle" is still very new. The greatest exponent of the brief case seems to be Mr. LaMar. Advertising Manager of the Eagle, Mr. LaMar would feel lost without his brief case. We bet, nine times out of ten, that its empty. We wonder why Mr. Bill Crain has it in for Miss Henrietta Walker. In our opinion she's a cute kid, spunky and a good sport. So say something nice in your column, Bill, and stop "burning her up." Miss LeVera White says this hash sifting business isn't all its cracked up to be, what with that early time, and grouchy customers. Miss Geraldine Evans says the mark on the end of her nose is not a wart but a burn. All friends please take notice and don't comment on it. Miss Emma Whitfield looked very charming in a sport silk dress at the football game last Sunday. Well, good people, this is short and snappy and well see you after Thanksgiving. The Quest Est.

Spivey, and Wright, all Santa Fe Bad Capa. A TIP TO TRAVELERS 1234567890 President Bad Gap & Janitors Assoc. I cannot refrain from speaking of the habit some people have in buying round trip tickets from the south, especially to Los Angeles with the foolish expectations of selling same to some one else for the return trip, and in many casas being fortunate enough to sell them. it is a fine business for the galler of such tickets, that indeed bad for the buyer, because they are invariably picked up at the gate. This matter has been brought to the attention of The Red Can Porters Association, and instructions have been given to advise colored travelers If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened against such practice, although this advice is rather late in being published, their is still time left to have some person from making such a purchase as has been mentioned. It is not only done by colored people, but whites as well. RAILROADS WILL TAKE TICKETS The Railroad Company will take such tickets off or the hands of original purchasers less the one way fare, yet the profit is greater if a buyer is found in the open market. It is indeed embarrassing to us as employees to see our women especially stopped at the gate and tickets confiscated. But what can we do about it? Thousands of dollars rae lost annually by trying to get by on the wrong road, and I am asking The Railroad Clatter to publish this article in order that my people may benefit therefrom. SOUTHERN, PACIFIC STATION NEWS Mr. Fragier Deruden has just returned ed from Europe, after an absence of several months, he reports having a wonderful time and the boys are glad to have him back in the gang once more. Mr. Carter Harris left for his home recently to pay a lon gdelayed visit to home folks and friends somewhere in Texas. Mr. W. H. Young spent a few months in Colorado, he returned look- extra well, we exted him and Mr. Durden our hands of welcome. Mr. Chas, Foley, worrying over the situation, took leave of absence for a week among the ducks, returning with the limit, he said he was fortunate enough to get a sack full, Mr. Gray received a full supply from Mr. Foley for the Sunday dinner and we thank him, go again Mr. Foley. The Red Caps quota to the community chest was over subscribed, every one is happy over it. PORTERS AWAIT A. NOEL'S RETURN The Porters of Los Angeles district are anxiously awaiting the return of the Grand Delegate Mr. A. Noel, just what is a question, I feel sure that I could set up this minute and make his report complete as he will make it himself on his return, because I have listened to the same reports each year a Grand Delegate goes back. I know them by heart, but let's hear int and have it over with, he may surprise us, if he don't The Railroad Clatter will be the first to loudly shout, I TOLD YOU SO. WAS IT TURKEY? OR DUCK?

Very Reasonable Rates. ing, not so now however, nine times out of ten if the truth were spoken you would hear a feeble answer of chicken, yes folks that's about all we can afford now a days with travel so light that you can put most the people on a ten car train in two pullmans, and with the traveling public paying it out a dime at a time, with rent sky high, and food out of sight with taxes increased, and the dollar decreased, with assessments galore making life just a bore. WHAT DID YCU EAT? Turkey, duck, or just plain chicken? UNION PACIFIC RAISES PRICE ON MEALS Porters are still complaining of the scanty food they are getting on the U.P. reports have it that they have gone up on the meals and cut down on the food, for ninety cents or a dollar, you can hardly get enough to satisfy, the boys claim, that the lunch counters along the road are all in the world that save their lives. If this is true something should be done about it in the right way, the writer does not think that the Union Pacific would willfully work a hardship knowingly on its porters who handle their business. A petition should be circulated and sent in to the head of the dining car department protesting against the high prices, and the writer feels sure that the proper consideration would be given in the case, the waist at it, for it. It is not his fault, its working for the Union Pacific and must abide by their rules, take the proper steps or quit your beefing. M. Felix, head Red Cap at the San ta Fe depot has been off sick for the last few days. Normand Steward has been filling his place during his absence. THE NEW TERMINAL That burning question of a new Union depot has come up again, and has held the attention of those interested for the past few weeks. If the interstate commerce desides that the fair city of Los Angeles is rightfully entitled to a Union depot on the Plaza site, WHAT COLOR WILL THE RED CAPS BE? Will they still maintain colored red caps or will some gentlemen from Texas or way down behind the sun put in a lilly white outfit. Don't say it can't be done, but be on the job, hit the ball like you have always done and make it so hard for white red caps that the proposed terminal will feel shakey in making a change. If you haven't done it in the past, start now, don't wait till they start building to make a showing, now is the time, prepare for war in time of peace, keep the race in the job, Pres. Gray, please copy, Normand Steward and A. J. Day, please copy, a stitch in time save nine. PILLOW SLIPS S. V. Pinky, that distinguished red cap at the Santa Fe has been forced to change his headquarters from the Bronk to the Prince Albert, and is singing the hotel blues, Mr. Pinky claims bad management is what closed The Bronx. E. G. Brooks, head red cap at the Santa Fe Depot must be having a good time back East as he has not returned yet. The pullman porters sure are getting rich nowadays, all of them now own their own whisk-brooms. It's just too bad if they go off from home and leave it, what an awful thing that would be for a porter with a top and bottom load. L. High said it wouldn't make any difference with him according to the loads he has been handling lately. They are going to try out the ball bearing wheels on the Lark between Los Angeles and Frisco. That will be some smooth baby then. BUY THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FOR THE LATEST IN RAILROAD NEWS. * * * UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP By: J. R.

MAY NOTARY PUBLIC Loans :: Insurance :: Financing 3517 Central Avenue HUm. 6803 MR WESTERN DINING CAR WAIT ER DID YOU KNOW By: EDGAR C. MOSLEY There appeared in the November issue of the Los Angeles Daily. News the announcement that the western locomotive, firemen had demanded an increase in wages, and the article further stated the railroad had found reasons to fight the demand and submitted a brief to the Board of Arbitration setting forth as their side of the argument that the cost of living is on the decline and most wage earners are receiving less money than they did in 1920, but the firemen have received increases since then. The question that arises in the mind of the western waiters on dining cars know that they have not received an increase in their present salary and they are receiving less money now than they did seven years ago, and if the western firemen realize that they are entitled to an increase in wages, notwithstanding the fact they have received increases since 1920, then the western R. R. waiter are more so entitled to an increase in as much as they have not received one increase in seven years, I hope no one will think for one moment that the writer means to say that the waiter should receive as much salary as the firemen but it certainly is no more than fair that the waiter should receive enough salary to enable him to support his family in a decent American manner by the fruits of his labor, this raises the question of what is the western waiters salary per month? How well can he provide for his family from same? He averages about $65.00 per month in wages which is $780.00 per year, now lets see the approximate cost of living to the average family of four: House rent @ $30.00 per month $360.00 per year. Food provisions @ $14.00 per week. $672.00 per year. X—XX—X X—XX—X Page—liva Miscellaneous Expenditures, $150.00 per year. Total, $1,963.60 per year, deducting his yearly salary of $780.00 from the above amount leaves him a deficit of $1,183.60, now $1,133.60 he is short of to meet his yearly expenses he is forced to depend upon the public's tipping tendency, his tips average about $1.50 per meal or $4.50 per day during the tourist season of five months he makes this average until October 31st, when his average falls until the next season so this slump in his average for the summer makes his yearly average around $3.50 per day, his working days are 185 out of the 365, which amounts to $647.50 which is in itself a very uncertain income, adding this income from his tips of $47.50 to his yearly salary of $780.00 and he has made $1,427.50 for a year to meet his expenses of $1,963.60 for the same year. I do not think any one could very well say that the waiters are not entitled to an increase in the salary enough to make up the deficiency, in view of these facts, for the western waiters are second to none in their profession as waiters, and waiters don't you think it would be worth trying, nothing beats a trial but a failure, for after fitting if you fail there are other fair means to use which may bring about results. Take heed therefore how he耳 hear: for whoever hath to, him shall be given and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemt to have Luke 8:18. BEWARE! BEWARE!

Each year as this day arrives we are not unmindful in appreciation that we have been permitted to enroll in the great army of progress. We are there- fore indeed thankful that. as time moves on that all mankind moves in the van of a higher ideal and greater appreciation of their fellow man. It has been a long period from the landing of our Pilgrim fathers to the present attainment of a nation and in its great- ness looking backwerd from whence was originated Thanks- giving Day truly all can join in the mighty chorus of’a contin- ted Thanksgiving. CATCH THE DRIFT Thanksgiving Day would indeed be a most propitious day for those who find themselves out of harmony with everybody except they thernselves they should get right down to brass tacks and ive thanks that the day has arrived, when it would be meet and proper for them to eschew hatred, malice-and 3el- fishness to the utmost. : i PARASITES LOOKING AHEAD It is just about the time now that the political parasites are looking ahead and visualizing the ‘pickings before them. They can see the sheckles rolling in and fancy themselves all aboard for the big show. They visualize themselves as leaders of a mythical host and will knock on the door of political as- pirants with their boasted leadership and actually shake them down if possible to do so. Such as these are the weights which would weigh any peoplé down and should by all means be scorned and repudiated at every turn. HEW TO THE LINE Our only solace and remedy to secure just recognition in the affairs of government is at the portals of the ballot box, Therefere it behooves all.of us to look well to the future, “hew to the line, let the chips fy where they will.” This situation in- cludes all 9f our public sdrvants who have refused or neglected to give to all parts of their constituency due, just and fair con- sideration. In other words if a public servant from president on down to town constable fails, refuses by Jack of interest or ability to secure representation in some manner, or way, they are not the men or women for the place which they oceupy and sould by all means insofar as the group which they have ne- glected is concerned be the vittims of their righteous wrath. The remedy is as we have foresaid at the portal of the ballot box. In other words ‘Hew to the Line” and then tell them “that you hope they de not feel hurt.” peta KeaaeecilaacaicS THE HARDEST BLOW Justice in the highest possible place seems to have gone on a vacation when ex-President now Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court Howard W. Taft, decided with a full court con- curring that segregation of the colored races was alright and within the law. The only thing about this seeming unjust de- cision is the fact that we now have the last word in law and will henceforth and forever know the status of all mankind. Even though the case originated and was contested by an AmericaggChinese citizen, the Chief Justice reached way back and cited the precedent of a previous decision in which a black American was the central figure. Therefore at last from Chief Justice Taft of Brownsville fame received the hardest jolt of all. NOT NECESSARILY SO In stating ‘“‘we want that rung” which our present Assem- blyman has occupied for the past decade, we note has caused quite a furore in political circles, and even at this distant date from the primaries, a deal of discussion is apparent. Some of the over zealous partisans of the ‘Assemblyman are unmindful of the fact that his position like any other one of public service is subject to contest at any election, which is provided for by the constitution, and that is ebnply a question for the voters to decide between those who aspire. This is in- deed fair just and proper. If the Assemblyman wants to try tor another term we are among the last who. would deny him that right ond privilege to so aspire, our entry and the en- try of pny other citizen would simply leave it up to the electors of this particular Assembly District as to their choice. Then again the editor of this paper is not necessarily to contest honors with the present Assemblyman the Hon. F. M. Roberts, for after a decade of strenuous service, weighed down with the honors thereof, he might perchance feel that is long enough, At any rate such could be the situation. If not we have no other alternative than that of contest with him or any other aspirant who might appear upon the scene of action. We will say however -that we have no quarrel with our Assemblvinun ur any other person in the premises. Our rela- tions with him which have always been most friendly will ever remain such, regardless of the vicissitudes through which we must pags leading up to the primaries next August. MAN THE IMITATOR é In his humbler moments, when the deeds of angles and archangels are brought to his attention, man has been wont to call himself but a worm of the dust; but now a French scientist, Lucien Cuentot, declares: man is but an imitator of the lower forms of animal life, and that many of his most boasted inven- tions have been used by the bugs for ages. To make the humil- iation of man complete, the scientist says he is but a poor imi- aig ot that, and the inventions of insects and animals are al- more perfect’ and worked out with more detail than those 6f man. : v=.” Even the camouflage of the war is as old as the hills among the ‘lower animals, he says, and:the gragshopper has used a ‘torpedo tube from time immemorial to plant its eggs low in ‘the ground.

If we know aright the ‘generous. philanthropic character of the little “Black bird" who sought the elusive “Blue bird,” thar she would be far happier to know that our grief at her passing carried more sincerity and lexs- ostentation. ‘That some of the thousands that went under the sod might have puz- chased some warm clothing and shoes for some of the chilled, shivering children, who stood in the rain wait- ing the opportunity to pass her Bier. Down in Columbia, Tenn,’ Henry Choate an 18 year old Negro Iad was accused of an attempted assault on a girl (white). He was taken from the Jail and lynched. No evidence of guilt or innocence was necessary. He was ACCUSED! In California John Doyle (White) was CONVICTED. of an of- fence against a 15 year old girl. On recommendation cf the jury he was sentenced to serve ninety days in jail. We leave the reader to supply his own comment. The following from the Sports writ er of the Sacramento Union is self explanatory. Jack Smith is a Negro Student “STEVE'S SPORT SHELF” SHOULD NOT EXIST A situation arose in the Sacramen. to-Lodi high school game yesterday that we watched from the side lines and bitterly denounced as unfair, not only to the player in question, but to the Ligh school student body who packed the stands to cheer the pur- ble and white on to victory. The player, Jack Smith, colored. whe won his berth on the school eleven by virtue of ability, and whose ebility was manifest throughout the games he played, was slighted yester day, possibly unintentionally, but on the face of the situation, appeared to have been discriminated ‘against be- Cduse of his race. Smith, the most consistent ground gainer on the Dragon machine, bore the brunt of a second half attack and carried the ball, single handed, trom midfield to the enemy ten-yard line, featuring by a sensational 40-yard dash through the center of the Lodi machine. With the score against the locals, 13 to 0, and the ball on the ten-yard line three tries at the line and an ingomplete forward pass forced the locals to yield the ball with a touch- down within their grasp. Yet Smith, the player who starred all the way down the field, did not hear his numt- dér called cut’ by Quarterback Beard and stood by to watch his mates make three futlle efforts for a touchdown. Everybody wondered why Smith wasn't used. So did we. And our cur- fosity got the best of us and we asked a school official “School politics, I guess,” he ans- wered. ‘A chance,’ as subsequent plays showed, to at least tie the game was passed up for the sake of school pol ties. We may be wrong, but that was our impression of the incident—denounced as unfair. When a man, men, race or com- munity, become satisfied with what has been accomplished, then.the man. men, race or community begins to slip. And there fs no slipping forward. Never mind what “we bave done.” What are we doing? We are too com- placent. Espectally is that true of us here in California.

N_ B's defensive game. These boys were pure poison to the Merry Makers Backs and many times broke through to throw them for huge loss- es. Rosser, the most feared tackler in the league, was responsible for the wearing down of “Lobo” Bryant this being one of the reasons for the slow- ing up of the Merry Makers Squad. Captain Townes played well at guard: and was always In there after hig man. Bryant the Mighty Mite Much credit is due little “Red” Bry- ant. This boy played a real game of football for the Merry Makers. He de- serves all the credit that one can give him. His adgment in kicking and passing 1s uncanny and many times netted them huge gains. He used good judgment in calling the signals. He is really a quarterback of note and knows what it is all about. “Red” started things going at the kickoff that opened the second half, when he took the ball from “Wild Cat” Ate- man on a reverse and returned it twenty-five yards to his own forty yard line, where he cut off tackla ‘around end for a large gain.

The Musician’s Trail President National Association Negro Musicians, Inc. (By: ANY PY FOREWORD Of all the contemporary Negro musicians’ who are now enjoying na tton-wide distinction, I believe that | have received fat less encouragement economically from Caucasian source: than anyone else. I am,,of course making this assertion to. emphasize more strongly the all-important fact that what iam in the musical world today 1s due indispatbly to the econo: mic support of the Negro race. It ts therefore with a deep feeling of gratitude toward my race’ that | am giving up well-established musical activities in my native Philadelphia tc dedicate the musical year of 1927 1928 to a Second Transcontinenta! Tour of the United States, which | believe is a greater achiev-ment. The expression “transcontinental tour” Sounds well but only those who have made them cah appreciate th significance: of the undertaking Thc general musical conception is that the musician appears in a few concerts in the East and then takes the train to San Francisco by way of Chicago for ‘one or more performances. But th» real tour, gentl> readers; implies that the artist must confine _ himself throughcut the entire year solely to concerts from ocean to ocean. Whenever the question of Negro population comes up, of course, it does from time to time, you may de pend upon it that scmeone will add » few hundred thousand ‘or perbaps a million. So that one cannot off-hand without consulting statistics say just how many Negroes there are in our country. The last figures however, | recollect being 12,000,000, But to gny point, with such ‘a population there was but one prominent musician tour- ing the United States last year, and Friday, November 25, 1927 To) ia 7 Bil! USTCZ Ge oO We 3 ; 7 ==) i WS S74 c~* ey a ‘lie was Roland Hayes, the most fam- ous American Negro musician we have probably yet produced. Not a single pianist, not a single violinist, nor composer stirred last year from a transcontinental stand-point. Now this is’ certainly not holding up the fine standard: set by Roland: Hayes and unless more of the prominent musi- clans travel more extensively our musical progress is not, I believe, g0- ing to be-as great in the future as it has been in the past. It is true that teachers will continue to turn} out gifted pupils but these pupils need standards oceasionally held before them, whfch local teachers, no matter how ‘talented, rarely ever have, be- cause of their being deprived of the development from numerous perform: ances: which largely. enable an artist to hold up # high standard, Aside from the matter of mere standards, the Negro race is doomed musically the moment it ceases to up- hold and suprort the concerdt as au institation. If we are going to cease patronizing cémverts as we should. the teacher may ax well close his studio doors, for is not his ambition mainiy to train his pupils to appear ‘in concerts? If we are going to do away with concerts as an institution, will not the ecmposers have to cease composing. for is not the concert the main opportunity for the composer to be heard? Last, but by no means least. are not concerts the best medium for de- veloping greater and greater artists? It matters not so much how many dol- lars we pay for our instruction or how’ many hours we practice there is after all nothing in the development of an artist which means so much as the constant appearance before aa ‘andience. | The Amstican Woodinen offe:s vat bes: protection at the smallest cost.

BATCHELOR SHOW YOU THE ELCAR Friday, November 25, 1927 Mr. William DeClaybrook and cousin, Herbert Bryant, of San Francisco rolled into L. A. the latter part of last week and literally set the town on fire. They missed nothing and as they departed last Sunday A. M. in the wee hours following a Saturday nite blow-out they sang that old familiar song, "How can I bear t o leave thee." Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, accompanied by Mr. J. E. Prowd, drove up to one of Tulare county's small hamlets last Saturday night and spent the week-end in business and pleasure. Tom Louden's roadster made him change his mind the other day. Tom was forced to take turkey money and spend it for a battery. He's lost his voice and not speaking. Come Tom, don't act that way, lots of folks worse off than you. Dr. Bailey is all smiles, his smart looking coupe is retired; whatever that means. Who is the smart-looking young lady wearing glasses that made a recent visitor almost refuse to motor back whence he came. Looks like L. A. is going to have a new citizen or lose an old one. Twenty-six miles is a long way to travel for pop-corn, but she said she just had to have it and there was no thing left for him to do but to lead her to it. That's all right. Sometimes. Frank White, officer by profession, invaded Central Avenue last Monday and his old friends liked to mobbed him. Don't stay away so long next time. You can always cash in on that smile. Tommy Pillows is reported as on the job and shoving them out. Polks always did like the Hudson-Essex combination. Say, B. J., any time you want to have prayer meeting again on Saturday night, we're with you. Just let us know and we'll motor over. Did you attend the Day Nursery Tea over to Mrs. Daisy William's home on Normandie? Folks were there in bunches. Cars with drivers we have not seen before. We hope they raised a thousand for such a worthy cause but we believe they didn't. Shame to say many prefer to buy a dollar's worth of gas and take 10c out of the contribution box so to speak. The atmosphere is still charged with just indignation over the some kind of party raid a week or so ago in the vicinity of Adams street. Most folks, if not all on that street and vicinity, as in other neighborhoods north, south, east and west, bear good, honorable names, live in respectable homes, and too have visible means of support, but it's a fact not to be disputed here and there with the present system and order of things black sheep, both cancissan and colored, seek to plant themselves under cover alongside of folks and families where reputations are above reproach and when they fail to do certain things, why the Black Maria roll up and the W T If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened newspapers have a story.

Newton and Central. Fact is, we know him. We were in Mrs. Burdette's recently and really folks, she's a deserving honest, living character in the community.

Prize fighting isn't a pastime one should boast of. it doesn't make for better citizenship that we know of yet, it harbors some characters that are looked upon as a credit to the community and certainly to the profession. Such was the lot of Tiger Flowers, who recently passed. His name shall go down in pugilistic history along with the mortal Joe Gans, and Peter Jackson. Yes, we believe he tops the list for surely if the prize fighting game ever boasted of barboring a gentleman Tiger Flowers was he. Loved the world over by every one who knew him, the race has, in this particular line suffered a distinct loss. Thousands, white and black, viewed the funeral courtease as it mobilized its way through thronged streets with saddened hearts and dimmed eyes, and Mickey Walker who robbed him, assisted by Jack Kerns, of the title, will some day be repaid for the unsporstman-like methods resorted to to retain the unearned crown. Brake adjustments, in the main, should not contemplate equalizing the rear brakes with the front pair, according to the Service Department of National Automobile Club which supplies the following information: The proportion between the different sets usually is automatically taken care of by the linkage, or the brakes so set originally that there is no necessity for any adjustment of this character. It is well to remember that equalization has its limits. Thirty-six persons were injured twelve seriously, during the month of October, when they were hit by automobiles while either alighting from or boarding cars in Los Angeles, according to a report of the Traffic Commission. Of the thirty-six accidents reported, one occurred in safety zones where automobiles are prohibited from entering at any time. Eight of the thirty-six persons injured were children. ONE EVERY DAY An average of more than one person a day is hit by an automobile while getting off a street car or waiting for one, because many drivers fail to use the proper caution in approaching these zones. "Figures such as these," said Harry A. Lord, president of the Traffic Commission, "indicate that many drivers are too anxious to pass street cars that are about to come to a stop or to speed past persons waiting for a street car. "There is simply no excuse for hitting a person in a safety zone, protected by buttons. Any pedestrian has the right to expect that he will be safe when standing in one of these zones. The traffic ordinance specifically prohibits driving into safety zones and all violations of this section musting up bail with the Traffic Violations go to court, without the option of put-Bureau. "The law with regard to the passing of street cars by automobiles is as follows: The driver of a vehicle overtaking a street car stopped or about to stop for the purpose of receiving or discharging passengers shall bring such vehicle to a full stop at least ten feet in the rear of such street car, and remain stationary until any such passenger shall have boarded such car or reached a place of safety. Automatic Device Warns Motorists A safety device which consists of a warning signal automatically set in motion when a car passes over a slab set in the road is being tried out in Devonshire, England, according to information received by the National Automobile Club. All vehicles on the road must pass over the slab, and the experimenters declare that this method of giving warning will prove satisfactory. WOULD YOU KNOW THE TIME? IN TOUCH WITH E. O.

According to Harrison Lewis of Beverly Hills, president of the Greater Beverly Boulevard Association, in which association Marco Hellman, Alphonzo Bell, Hal Lloyd, Otto Wildey and others serve upon the board of directors, the Greater Beverly Boulevard Association is rapidly securing a complete right of way for the completion of Beverly Boulevard from the city to the sea. At the present time, according to Mr. Lewis, right of way has been secured the entire distance from Los Angeles to the sea, but the paving of a short distance between Harper avenue and San Vicente is held up until additional width can be secured. CALIFORNIA LEADS TOTAL REVENUE TO BE $23,000,000 BY ESTIMATE OF AUTO CLUB: OHIO IN SECOND PLACE IN REVENUE PAID Motorists or California will pay a larger total gas tax than those of any State in the Union, according to government reports of the consumption for the first six months of 1927. These show that a total of $101,250,841 was collected for the first half year the country over. Of this total California stood first with $9,055,934, or approximately 9% of the total. According to estimates of the Automobile Club of Southern California, this means that the total gas tax paid in the State for 1927 will be approximately $23,000,000, assuming that the more than $9,000,000 raised on the 2-cent tax in the State for the first six months of the year will be duplicated the last six months of the year. There will be an additional 1-cent levy in effect which will raise the total for the last half of the year between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. Nearly all of this large revenue is for use of highway development by counties and States. The State is entitled to one-half of all collected under the 2-cent levy for maintenance, resurfacing, repairing, realigning, etc. For new work it will have the entire proceeds of the additional 1-cent gas tax that went into effect last July.

Ohio_is second with $7,539,826 but the 3-cent levy was in operation during this period. Pennsylvania ranks second under the 2-cent tax with $6,101,696. Four States levy a 5-cent tax on each gallon of gasoline sold. These are Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico and South Carolina. There are but two States in the Union which do not tax gasoline when sold to the consumer. These are Massachusetts and New York. New York is the only State in the Union having more automobiles than California. The lowest tax in any of the States where a tax is imposed is 2 cents on a gallon. STATE MOST FAVORED The total for the United States for the first half of the year showed an increase of more than 19 per cent over the same period in 1926. Most of the funds thus derived are used for road building and improvement. State highway funds receive the largest portion with $69,615,088. County and local road funds receive nearly $23,000,000 of the total, and nearly $5,000,000 is devoted to payments on road bonds. The remainder is used to defray collections, costs and miscellaneous expenses. Nearly 5,000,000,000 gallons of gasoline was consumed during the first half of the year which was an increase of 11.4 per cent more than reported for the first six months of 1926. An increased used of motor vehicles is indicated as the number of automobiles in use in the period quoted shows only a 7 per cent gain. AUTOMOTIVE NOTES Horse-drawn vehicles and saddles horses have the right of way on the inside of the roads in Hot Springs Nat- ional Park, Arkansas. New Yorkers buy approximately 3000 automobiles a week. One person in every 75 in Switzcr- land has an automobile. A certain road in Sumatra has 1000 hairpin curves within a space of 45 miles, according to information recei- ved by the National Automobili Club. Italy exported approximately 365- 500 tire casings during the first half of 1927. The four-cent gasoline tax in Maine went into effect last week. There are 2,764,000 motor trucks in use in the United States at the present time. Federal aid for the country's highway system dates from July 11, 1918, when President Wilson signed the Federal Aid Road Act, according to the National Automobile Club. It is estimated that Ohio will have 2,607,000 automobiles in 1935. ? BANDITS ! ? BANDITS ! ? BANDITS ! Watch Out for ? BANDITS ! When ? "BANDITS" !

Driver Should Watch Signals at all Times Many red lights are passed because the motorist follows the car ahead of him instead of keeping his gaze aimed for the signal light itself. The other man may be a good driver; again he may not be a good driver. Too often it takes an accident to settle the question. As to the lights, it frequently happens that while he first driver may get across on the green or amber, the red has flashed before the second reaches the intersection, according to the National Automobile Club. Under-Inflated Tires Make Car Steer Hard Under-Inflated Tires Make Car Steer Hard When the car suddenly begins to steer hard, lack of lubrication is the first thing to suggest itself, and the motorists probably resolves to have the situation remedied at once. He goes to the service station and has the various steering units oilied and greased. When this fails to have the desired effect, he may look to the tires and find away below normal pressure. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that under-inflated tires cause more difficulty in steering than does a lack of oil, according to the Service Department of the National Automobile Club. Don't Want Negroes in Same Neighborhood (By: A. N. P.) Birmingham, Ala., Nov. —That the white folks living in the vicinity of McWilliams Springs and the district on Twenty-second and Twenty-third Avenues and 15th street, do not want Negroes in that district, was indicated in the mass meeting which was held Tuesday evening in the Pike Avenue Baptist Church. In the basement of the edifice in which each Sunday the pastor preaches the "Brotherhood of Ma." and the "Fatherhood of God," speaker after speaker denounced the intrusion of Negroes in this "white district" and voted against having the black brother as a neighbor. Those colored people who are already in the district would be ousted if the wishes of the white residents are carried out. To indicate further their protest against Negroes owning or occupying property in the district, 300 or more of these white Christians signed a petition which was submitted to the Ensley Real Estate Board to prevent Negroes from living in the neighborhood. "BANDITS" | Soon to be guil ty of "BANDITS" mobberies. "BANDITS" ON IS THIS THE WHITE MAN'S LAND? IS THIS THE WHITE MAN'S LAND? BY: DRUGILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON (For the Associated Negro Press) The Negro is tired of the white man's boastful rantings that this is a white man's land. Lothrop Stoddard turned as a refuge to science but his claims were not true. Science does not teach that there is any inferiority arising from race. There are many people speaking in America at a time without INFORMATION. Science is their refuge, when their study of true science has been superior. If Lothrop Stoddard had known his science, he would also know that the Aryan is not a pure stock, but a mongrel race from thousands of years intermixture with the blood of Asiatic and African emigrations into Europe. He speaks loftily of our lowering of Aryan ideals, when the very civilization of Europe came not from the Aryan hoards that poured over her western frontiers, who were tude barbarians, destroying the ancient civilization of Western Europe; but the culture of Europe came from the African races that overran and conquered western Europe in very early ages. This can be proved by the skeletons of this territory, those of African structure lying among jewels and cultured relics, those of Asiatics showing no evidence of culture. If the Aryan is degenerating, it is because bratries the race that first gave him the light; the race that first gave civilization to the world. As untrue is Stoddard's statement that this is a white man's land. What has made it so? Does selflessness, injustice, and exploitation give the Aryan title and deeds to the lands of the earth. It so then this is his country, but according to the laws of justice and RIGHT, it was the Indians and today is more ours than his by right of SERVICE. Strong black arms, while the white man sat in idleness, have hewn down the forests of America, have built the railroads, have reclaimed from morass and reclaimed in the Southland most of its fertile fields. We today do the real labor of the land. We have given America its only folk songs and literature. In spite of the fact that by injustice civil office is closed to us, we have amassed great wealth. We have more churches to our proportion of the population be cause we are very versatile in our religion, we own more homes by the same ratio and with all the man's folly and boasting we remember that God has said that the MEEK shall inherit the earth. While the white man with his nature for DESTRUCTION, the same as in the days when he made the DARK AGES, he devising gasses that can destroy whole communities, the Negro is patiently WAITING. All the black people of the earth have to do is to WAIT and while they are waiting try to cultivate a different nature and different practices from these people who are rast degencrating as white leadership can clearly see. The Spirit in America that has robbed the black man of rightful and well earned privileges, that makes him pay equal fare for inferior service; that shuts him out from chance to see life; that meets the needs of life, that in segregation covets even the AIR, that he might breathe in a sanitary section; shall not in the hands of immutable fate have a continued supremacy. We want to ask HOW MUCH NATIONAL CHARACTER is possessed by a race that everywhere on the earth commits such crimes blocking the progress of darker peoples. If one would read the statistics piling up in this country on crime, immorality, and superficiality, we would decide that something is WRONG with white nature and that he needs very badly for someone else to help him up ethnically. The present generation in America of white can make no ethnic boast. Mr. Stoddard claims that the Negro cannot rise to the standards of white nations. GOD FORBID THAT HE MAY. The thing we need is standards of our own. As yet we suffer because we imitate white standards. ? ! ? BANDITS ! ? ! ? BANDITS ! ? BANDITS ! Watch Out for ? BANDITS ! When ? "BANDITS" !
