1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 WATTS NEGROES IN BUS FIGHT VOLUME 41 WAT South Los Angeles Citizens in Mass Meeting Assembled Citizens of South Los Angeles (formerly Watts) gathered 1000 strong in Mass Meeting assembled at Grant Chapel on last Tuesday evening to voice their protest against the action of the Watts Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Public Utilities in revoking the franchise of the bus line which had heretofore been conducted by citizens of the colored race. The colored people compose 98 per cent of the patronage of the bus lines running in this section, but the Chamber of Commerce of South Los Angeles had looked with disfavor upon the spectacle of colored men operating the bus lines and deliberately set about to change it. They do not object to Negroes as patrons of the line but do object to them as operators and drivers. This is in line with the prejudice demonstrated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who owns a picture show—The Largo Theatre—on the Main street and frankly states he does not care for the patronage of colored. It is further said that this same man is one of the remnants of the ill-fated Ku Klux Klan. Therefore the assembly was highly enthusiastic and joined in with might and main for an organized effort to combat these great injustices heaped upon them from time to time. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION FORM A permanent organization was formed to be known as the Citizens Council and Industrial League. The officers of the same are: Pres., Rev. C. F; Jones, Vice-Pres., W. R. Knox; Secy. M. P. Davis; Ass't. Secy., Rev. H. D. Prowd; Treas., N. R. Harding. The following persons addressed the gathering Tuesday evening: W. R. Knox; Rev. C. F. Jones; Rev. Curtis; Rev. H. D. Prowd; Editor J. B. Bass and C. A. Dus. The next meeting will be held at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Tuesday evening, Feb. 28th. Colored Business Men Sign Leases Aggregating $60,000 in New Hotel Building The faith by far-sighted local business men in the new hotel now under construction is demonstrated by the fact that leases were signed during the past week to the tune of $60,000.00 for store and office space in the new hotel building now in course of construction at 41st and Central Avenue. Albert Baumann, proprietor of Baumann's Drug Stores, No.1 and 2, has leased the corner store on 41st and Central and will equip one or the finest and most modern Drug Stores in the entire city. Dr. A. J. Booker and Dr. J. C. Cooper have leased a suite of five offices on the second floor facing Central Ave. where they will maintain an up-to-date and modern medical and dental office. Jarnett and Irvin have taken a five-year lease for a tailor shop. Mr. Harper Lee has taken a store for a modern haberdashery store. These leases with the contract assured by the Railroad Companies amounts to considerably more than $60,000.00 and is the first time in the history of the West, when a building owned and operated by colored people will house so many of our business and professional men. The articles of incorporation for the new company will soon be ready and a splendid opportunity will be offered to colored citizens to participate in this great movement which will without question be a great boon to the onward march of progress.

ORANGE BLOSSOM CLUB OF ELKS TO HOLD SERIES OF TOURNAMENTS In preparation for the big Elks Convention in Chicago for which a special train will run, the Orange Blossom --- A. Forum Holds Great Meeting Celebrating Lincoln, Douglas and John Brown Sunday, 5 P. M., was another hight day for the Los Angeles Forum when a most splendid program was given in honor of Lincoln. Douglas, John Brown. It is a part of the by laws of the Forum for the annual observance of this day for the three great characters named above. Mr. C. Boston and wife furnished a very appropriate musical number. Mr. James McGregor delivered a very forceful address upon Lincoln and Douglas, the general consensus of opinion was that Mr. McGregor's effort was one of the very best ever heard in this section. Mrs. Steward read Lincoln's Gettysburg address with great effect. W. A. Buncan, the President and J. B. Bass, spoke on John Brown, after which Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters led in singing "John Brown's Body Lies a-mouldering in the Grive." Mr. S. W. Winters was present and introduced to the Forum. The occasion was just another great day of days for this wonder organization. Dear Pickens Delivers Masterful Address Dean William Pickens, Field secretary N. A. A. C. P. on last Sunday afternoon at the A. M. E. Zion Church was greeted by a crowd which filled every book and corner in the spacious auditorium of the large, edifice, even the balcony was filled to its fullest capacity. For one hour and twenty minutes this masterful orator held spellbound the great multitude of people. We have heard this great advocate on many occasions and while he has at times rendered a good account of himself we must say on this occasion he excels all previous efforts and no man living ever delivered a more masterful exposition of the life of Abraham Lincoln than Dean William Pickens rendered on last Sunday. WM. PICKENS AT INDEPENDENT CH. SUNDAY WM. PICKENS AT INDEPENDENT CH. SUNDAY WANTED! 100 BABIES FOR N. A. A. C. P. BABY CONTEST Everyone remembers the wonderful enthusiasm manifested in the Baby Contest held under the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. two years ago. Mr. Wm. Pickend, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. was here then to give the contest an auspicious start and he will speak next Sunday, February 19th at three o'clock at the Independent Church and officially launch the present contest. Put your baby into the contest! If you haven't one of your own, get one of your neighbor's. We want 100 entrants to take part in this fight against discrimination and segregation waged by the infants. Los Angeles is out to beat its own record of over $4000 raised under the able leadership of Mrs. J. M. Scott who is being urgently sought as the leader or the present contest.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928 The District Attorney, of Los Angeles according to reports in the daily papers will not permit of any covering up of the pernicious activities of the persons who started out to intimidate and manhandle colored citizens who would perchance visit the beach. They also sought out by arson and assault to drive from the beach colored citizens who lived there in peaceful possession of their own property. We are glad to note that we have a District Attorney who has delved deep into this situation and has found out the true animus behind the whole situation to be unlawful and being such has started the wheels of Justice in motion that the guilty shall pay the price for their unlawful act. Truly therefore the wheels of Justice move exceedingly slow but sure. Newton Street Station Lieut. Jack Phillips met with a serious accident caused by his car overturning. He is confined to the hospital suffering from internal injuries. Everything is moving along out of this center of activity with neatness and dispatch. Captain Oakley will no doubt prove a worthy successor to this very popular and highly appreciated instructor, Captain I. L. McClary. Bert Massey is well known in this district and has heretofore been considered a highly efficient official and will no doubt handle the ever present vice situation to the satisfaction of all who stand for law and order. In other words we feel that Lieutenant Massey will to the utmost keep the Eastside as clean as it is possible to do so from the Chinese lottery sharks, dives and other attendant evils. This has been a strenuous week for law-breakers and the police blotter shows much activity by officers all along the line in stamping out and curbing vices. Officers Rueben Scott, Wiley and Kelso are giving a good account of their assignment, and the entire force marks up arrests high unto 150 for the week ending, most of which are Chinese lottery activities with violation of the moral code running a close second. First In Line Mr. George A. Anderson, 1651 Sargent Place, Los Angeles, was the first Southern California to pay his income tax for the calendar year 1927. He leads a host of over 200,000 taxpayers who must make their payments before March 15, 1928. "Mr. Anderson could have waited until the last few days of the filing time to make his return and pay his tax," said Internal Revenue Collector Galen H. Welch, "but he has shown his wisdom and loyalty by being first to discharge his obligation to Uncle Sam." "Mr. Anderson will not be one of those who will have to stand in line for hours for a turn at the Cashier's window at the close of the filing period in March." In this connection Mr. Welch called attention to the fact that it is unnecessary for taxpayers to make payments in person, but personal checks or money orders may be remitted by mail. Checks should be firmly attached to returns which must be properly signed and sworn to, thus saying time and much inconvenience, he cautioned, however, against sending cash by mail. "The new income tax blanks were mailed out January 18, 1928, and should be in the hands of all taxpayers within a few days thereafter," said Mr. Welch. "I wish to urge upon everyone the importance of making prompt returns. Failure to receive the forms will not exempt anyone from the payment of his income tax." CORECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE 218 Federal Building, Los Angeles, California Little Emily Josephine Brown will celebrate her seventh birthday on Saturday, February 18 at 2 P. M. at the home of her aunt's, Dr. Emily Brown Childress, 1538 W. 36th St. Rev. W. C. Cartwright, pastor of Compton Hill Baptist Church of St. city for 10 days as a housewife of Rev. and Mrs. F. H. Prentice of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. M. H. Shelton, a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, for the past seventeen years, and friend of Mr. L. G. Robinson of Los Angeles, a race man of rare type and ability and through whom Mr. Shelton has been induced to choose for his principal place of business for the establishment of the National Townsite and Epic Builders Association or America, is now and has been visiting Los Angeles at Mr. Robinson's residence, 1155 East Adams street. He has signed a lease with Mr. Robinson for a store room owned by Mr. Robinson at 3422 So. Central Avenue which will be remodeled into office for Los Angeles Headquarters for the Association. Mr. Robinson has been instrumental in the opinion of many, of inducing the most favorable project to be located in our City for the benefit of our people than anything that has been proposed for the benefit of the Race since Lincoln's time, if developed as proposed. Mr. Shelton has the reputation or being talented for empire building being at this time the personal owner of two Arizona cities, Acre City, Arizona, and Pacific City, owning the entire business district and municipal conveniences. On and after March first, the thrifty people interested in the welfare of the Race are requested to call at 3422 South Central Ave., to co-operate with the Association. Neal Pullen Prevents Bad Fight at Cleveland-Hilldale Game Neal Pullen Prevents Bad Fight at Cleveland-Hilldale Game Family arguments, divorces, street fights or riots can invariably be prevented by cool-headedness of one of the parties concerned. This was evidenced Sunday near the close of the second doubleheader game between the Hildale Giants and Cleveland Stars. A batter was called out on strikes and losing his temper rushed to attack Umpire Beck. At the same time a friend of his rushed the "umps" also and things looked bad for him, but Neal Pullen quickly stepped between him and the angry players cool but determined holding them back until they decided peace was better. His action is highly commended by the fans for fights do not help baseball. New Store; New Credit System Harts Credit Clothiers, Inc., have opened a new store at 426 West 8th St, down town.

We were not present at the above meeting, neither did we have a reporter or available for a political meeting on Sunday, even though such meeting was conducted in a church house therefore we must rely upon the report furnished by our esteemed contemporary, "The Pacific Defender," which reports the meeting as follows: "The public was invited to attend what was advertised as a big mass meeting held at Phillip's Chapel, 42nd and Wadsworth St., Sunday, Feb. 12 at 2 P.M. The names of many prominent men appeared on the bill and in some of our newspapers, as speakers among them were ministers of our group and office holders and politicians (white). The meeting was under the auspices of the so-called Voters' League, and the purpose of the meeting was evidently political. A reporter from this paper covered the affair and counted about forty people present and the meeting was lacking in enthusiasm. Charles Oliver was the most prominent figure at the meeting, and did not hesitate to inform everyone that he was the most important factor in the affair, therefore we were not surprised when the crowd failed to respond in large numbers to the circulars and newspaper advertisement. Not daring to question a person for this we set about questioning various leaders of different groups or citizens whom we know are well conversant with the political situation and in most cases received the same reply—that they believed Mr. Oliver was honest in his purpose, that of enhancing his own position and possibly his own pocket book, at the expense of both the politicians and our own race, for they could not say Mr. Oliver's own race because that question has never been settled satisfactorily to the majority of the people. This gentleman, though constantly on the political firing line, seems to have no relation with the Black race of people other than a disposition to represent them politically without their consent and not so much as even a thank you. Perhaps this is true and as we are not in a position to say definitely that it is so, we are inviting the public, especially members of our own race, who are interested in setting things right, and also Mr. Oliver, to entrance into these columns with a written assertion of their attitude and viewpoint. We will say, however, that it would be well for candidates for office, as well as those holding office by appointment, or election by the people, scrutinize all invitations to come before our group, and be sure that they do not appear upon programs under the auspices of organizations that cannot show the stamp of approval of the voting Black Americans of of this community. Killer Gets Eleventh Hour Reprieve (By: A. N. P.) Montgomery. Ala., Feb. 4.—The electric chair in Kilby Prison yawned for Charlie Washington Thursday night, but in vain. Washington was to have been electrocuted Thursday night in expiation for the murder of Louis Wallick, a huckster in Birmingham, but was given a reprieve at the eleventh hour by Governor Graves, following a hearing at the capitol Tuesday evening. The hearing accorded Washington was in keeping with the policy of Governor Graves to give every man a chance before he is executed. Washington had no legal adviser with him but stated his own case, again declaring that he was innocent of the crime and that he was at home when Wallick was killed. The governor granted the reprieve of six weeks in order to investigate the case. Finds Wife With Man; Seeks Divorce New York, N. Y., Feb. 14—Following a raid by private detectives on an apartment, Robert Peynado has died sail in court here for a divorce from his wife, Edna Paynado, a dance hall hostess. Negro Police Given Orders to Arrest No White People Negro Police Given Orders to Arrest No White People (By: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Jan. 23.—With the announcement of names of the newly elected police officers for Louisville, it was stated in one of the local papers that these Negro policemen would be assigned to the black belt and that they would be instructed not to arrest any white people. The citizens are aroused and will carry their complaints direct to the Board of Public Safety. The Louisville Times had the following to say in Editorial last week. UNWISE LIMITATION No reasonable objection giving five or six Negroes places on the police force can be raised in Louisville, but since Negroes are to be appointed, serious objection must be raised to the reported intention to instruct the appointees to arrest no white persons. A policeman, white or black, is a policeman just as a lawbreaker, white or black, is a lawbreaker. To put a man in police uniform and then tell him that he must draw the color line in exercising the authority vested in him as a policeman is unwise and unfair. Further, it is a weak and unwise concession to race prejudice out of line with the evident determination to give the Negro recognition for the part played in local politics. Probably Negro leaders, Hefe will be glad to receive the recognition. But they could not be censured for resenting a limitation that would invite criminality by white hoodlums in the Negro district in which the Negro policemen are to walk beats. Prominent Physicians to Attend Tuskegee Clinic. (By: A. N. P.) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 30.—Tuskegee physicians and surgeons attending the eleventh annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society and the seventeenth annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital which convenes at the Institute Hospital here April 1-7, will have the opportunity of hearing Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, present some pertinent facts of health conditions among Negroes. Dr. Dublin is author of "Life, Death and the Negro," an analytical study of factors affecting morbidity of Negroes, published in a recent number The American Mercury. The annual meetings of the Clinical Society serve the dual purposes of bringing first-class medical and surgical aid and relief to many who otherwise would be unable to secure such services and of providing conferences where prominent black and white medical men of the South, North, and East meet and exchange ideas for the advancement of medical science. In a letter to members of the medical men include Dr. H. E. Kleinschmidt of the National Tuberculosis Association, Dr. Walter M. Brunet of the American Social Hygiene Association, Dr. W. W. Peter of the Cleanliness Institute, Dr. Walter Gray Crump of New York, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. C. V. Roman of the faculty of Mebray Medical College, Dr. U. G. Dalley, and Dr. Roscoe C. Giles of Chicago, Dr. J. F. Laine of Louisville, president of the Clinical Society, Dr. A. B. McKenzie of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, vice-president of the Society and a number of others from all sections of the country. SPEED QUEEN. MOTORS TO BAKERSFIELD Miss Sherrod, the little "Tonsorial Queen" leaped into her little Ford roadster last Sunday and leaped up to Bakersfield. Miss Sherrod is having some new equipment installed on her car for contemplated motor trips. Be careful Miss "S" while making these motor leaps you don't leap into matrimony, you know this is leap year. The Christians, who made the Tavern famous, have moved and discontinued their work at the Tavern to the regret of the many club women and the social set of Los Angeles. Detectives, accompanied by Pernade, raided an apartment Monday night and discovered the man's wife in a compromising position with a strange man. This fact is the ground for absolute divorce. On Sunday, February 12th we started what we hope to make or call a "church visiting program." Our first visit was with the Tabernacle Baptist Church of which the Rev. J. D. Gordon is pastor. It was our privilege to listen to a most excellent sermon, the text to a most excellent sermon. The Rev. Gordon, aside from being the possessor or a most pleasing personality, is a convincing speaker in thought, far in advance of his time, and is often misunderstood. Nevertheless, he is both loved and revered by not only his faithful followers, but by all who have tested the sincerity of his friendship. He is a spiritual preacher, but as he said last Sunday, "The Kingdom of Heaven is in you and you in it," hence he believes in and preaches the doctrine of race appreciation and loyalty to race building through economic competition. We received a cordial welcome and found in this church a spirit of Good Will towards all men, be they members or visitors. If the Negro's race pride is to be measured by the enthusiasm with which he sings his National anthem, it is certainly very weak. It was positively embarrassing last Sunday afternoon, when the local N. A. A. C. P. president asked the large audience at the Pickens meeting to sing the National Negro Anthem. As per request, the congregation arose, but such weak, puny voices, minus any sign of pop, struggled through the stanzas to the very end, and to the relief of those who cannot sing. The California Eagle will print and donate thousands of copies of the National Negro Anthem if some chorister of one of the large churches will arrange for a community sing program to meet once a week at which time we may all meet and learn to sing first of all the National Negro anthem, and other appropriate songs. On Monday, February 13th we were called into conference, in the making of a new civic club. The conference was called by Mrs. Highbaugh at the residence of Mrs. Bramlett in E. 18th Street. Some of Los Angeles most progressive thinkers and club workers were present and what promises to be a worthwhile civic organization, was launched. We are anxious to see the women organize in this fashion. We want to waste less time socializing and more time studying social evils as they affect the future development of our homes and families. The moving picture has much to do with the education of our children of this day and time, hence we should see to it that only the right sort of pictures are shown. Along Central Avenue, in some of the smaller movie houses we often see pictures advertised that cause us to wonder what the authorities are thinking about when they permit such pernicious propaganda that spread the diseases of crime to be sent forth by way of the moving picture. "Car Contest" Being Investigated (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., Jan. 30.—An investigation of the activities of various welfare organizations is being conducted in this city by Commissioner Bird S. Coler, head of the city Department of Welfare, as a result of some misunderstanding growing out of a recent automobile supposed to have been given away by the Christmas Cheer Committee. According to the story, the car, a Nash sedan, was to be railed off to the person holding the lucky number at a big affair given at the Bamboo Park. One Herbert Morgan, is alleged to have held the ticket entitling him to the car. Morgan held ticket number 3,029, but the committee declares that 3,429 was the whining number and was held by Miss Hurley Morgan Hurley Morgan, it is said, is the sweetheart of some J. H. Mosely, but J. H. Mosely was the man who held the ticket and was therefore, the legal owner of the car. Miss Evangeline Lewis and brother, Wade, were among those who spent the week-end in Coronado.

C. Hutcheson of Houston, Texas, today recommended criminal contempt against the rail executives. Orders for passenger cars placed by railroads in the United States last month were nearly double the figure for January, 1927, according to Railway Age.

The sffieers, Lieutenant Ed Murphy and Patrolman Eugene Keegan, had gone ‘o Elliot's apartment to arrest him an a murder charge. When they a¥- rived on the second floor they were \dipitted by Nathan Eniott, the broth- ar of the fugitive, who informed the officers that Ross was not there, ‘A rolling of the eyes toward a clos- ed door aroused the suspicion of the officers, and Keegan rushed the door. He wak met by asstream of shots, four of which pierced his body, and he fell mortally wounded. Lieut. Murpby stepped in the breach and the gunman sud officer shot it out at close quar: ters When reinforcements arrived -they found Murphy dead, Elliott and Keeg- an dying, and Nathigt Elliott, who was caught in the crossfire, | seriously wounded. KILLED TWO IN MORNING Elliott's rampage had its beginning early Thursday morning when he went to the Omaha Packing Company to see Che could regain his job which he lost in October. His old place was denied him, and as he walked out of the gate, he met James Ellis, who 1s alleged to have caused his discharge. ‘A quarrel cnsued and Elliott whipped ouy a “lager” and killed Eilts Charles Miller, a 63-year old white man, attempted to stop Bilfott, and Was killed. Another victim was) Don- ‘ald McNeilly, who was struck by a stray bullet. =.

She ND sgh Tdi SUNDAY WASDAY OFDAYS AT WHITE SOX BASEBALL PARK Sunday, February 12th will live in Winter League baseball history as a day of days. A big Field Day with track records shattered, celebrities as honor guests, band concerts and n doubleheader game, the last one of which sent the crowded grand stands into a wild cheering, cushion-throwing, and mob that lingered till dark to discuss the exciting features of the game. On the list of honor guests were Geo. Godfrey, Paulino Uzadun, Jack Kearns, Mickey Walker, Shiek Gardner, Bojingles Robinson and a number of other highlights of track, field, stage and screen. The day began with a program with the Forresters band in attendance. Then a game was played between Pirrone's All-Stars and the Haldale Giants in a massacre for Hilldale with 11 points to Pirrone's 1. The Field Day events were then held with contestants from the white team and the two colored teams competing. The results were as follows: 100 yard dash—Dixon, 1st; Thomas, 2nd; Time, 10 seconds flat; Circling Bases—Thomas, 1st; Pirrone, 2nd; Time, 14 seconds. Long Distance Baseball Throw—Allen and Dixon, tie; winner of tie. Dixon, Accurate Throwby by Catchers—Mackey, winner. Pulen, second. Handicap race—(Bill Bolanges) Robinson winning 75 yards backward beat field or runners making 100 yards forward. CLEVELAND-HILLDALE TIE 55. The second game was the day's clima- played between Hildale Giants and the Cleveland Stars. A two-bagger by Stevens in the first failed to tally, and the Giants made the first score in the 2nd, and one more in the 3rd, but a run by Allen and a home run by Holloway tied that. Another run by Warfield in the 5th made 3 for the Giants, Cleveland 2. The Giants coasting along then looked sure winners till a hit by Wells drove Allen Holloway and Mothal in home for 3 digits. 5 to 3. it stood then with things leaking bad for the Giants and almost dark enough for light. But, Jo and behold, Hubbard brought in one, from a base hit and Beckwith quickly followed with the longest home run of the season, a hit that soared away over centerfield fence. As the score tied again, saving the day for Hildale, whom the fans consider the home team, the whole vast assemblage went roaring wild. Cushions and hats were thrown out on the diamond till the ground was covered. The game was called on account of darkness and the crowd filed out still cheering at the best game of the season. Cleveland is still a little ahead in the pennant race and the play off will commence soon as the season in near its end.

Jack Thompson Loses SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.—Young Corbett of Fresno, gave young Jack Thompson, Los Angeles Negro welterweight, a sound drubbing in a 10-round main event bout here. Eddie Moore, Colored Amarilo, Tex. boy, on Main St. Card CHAVEZ VS. BOLO. BOY ON TOP Boxing a dangerous 140-pound white boy, Mike Lewis, Eddie Moore, who hails from the plains of Amarillo, Texas, bites the semi-windup to Benny Chavez and Boole Boy at Main St. A. C., Saturday night, February 18th. Moore has a bag of ring tricks that keeps the spectators buckling their eyes and is fast as lightning likewise a heavy hitter. He got one of those Yanger-Nyland-Randolph decisions in his first bout here and lack of proper management has kept him back since here, but he is billed to come on up now from this new start, and new managers. Benny Chavez in the top spot is one of the few boys who hold a win over Darlo Baron. He is doped to beat the Boole Boy in a rattling 8 round main event. The card is as follows: Main Event, Benny Chavez, 130 lbs. 8 rounds, vs. Boole Boy; Semi-windie, Eddie Moore, 140 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Mike Lewis; Special Event, Cecil Bennett, 142 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Charley McClintock; Young Lance, 145 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Mike Gallizen; Tudy Jigar, 118 lbs. 4 rounds, vs. Fee Wes Nolan. Now that the whole country is intently interested in walkers and runners, the name of Dan O'Leary comes A. S. S. The World's Champion Walker for many, many years. He is 89 years old and still going strong. to mind as the most famous name in the history of pedestrianism. Beginning next issue the story of his famous exploits, how he brought Frank Hart, famous Negro trackman from England to win the U. S. championship and many other interesting memoirs will be published in this section. RUTH ROLAND, famous movie star, Barbara Bennet and Ben Bard appeared in person at the Lincoln Mid-Nite Show on Saturday last. Miss Holland made a short talk, Ben Bard had everybody splitting their sides over one of his imitative jokes. Carrol in the Chiton and Thomas act was great and a large crowd enjoyed the big show. # BABY GANS, Jack Thompson, Sailor or Larry, Mack House, Young Harry Wills and a few other California boys were the talk of the country. They were all undefeated then. Since that time all of them have suffered losses by fair means or foul. THEY are all using their best to fight back up to the top, where the air is clear and the money is good. As usual, though, when their names fade away from the headlines of other publications they need not worry, we will still pull for them 100% strong. If they do not appreciate, perhaps their friends will. ALL other races are loyal to each other. They also think more of those who are loyal to their own race; who tell them of their faults and help them to mend them. By the way, do you know Snowflake Wright? A great boy that. Won a mile and lost by color. He'll make it though and he won't, at the big head. Sammy Jim Williams, just back from Australia and Roy (Ace) Clark are now stars of the Miller stable. They will do big things in the near future directed by their able manager. Now that we have colored runners in Pylo's 48,000 Pedogram, let's all razie. Other Colored Runners Enter Pyles Patient Pedalogue ____ Although not great in numbers the ancient flag of Ethiopia will flutter among the many runners of all colors and all blooms, as they chase across burning desert, snow and sleet, to Madison Square Garden, N. Y. Thence around the track twenty times to see who's who and who pays income tax on that $25,000 that C. C. Pyle, the greatest promoter of all time is giving to the first to finish the last lap. Following the intention of this publication to help in whatever way possible to secure representation of the Race in this great race of the Races, Eddie Gardner, just arrived from Seattle, was chosen after examination by an Eagle representative, and pronounced at the most-likely prospect on the grounds, Messra Watson Burns and Jas Akers agreed to back him and he was immediately signed into camp. Eddie has for four years won the police and fireman's marathon or 10 miles. He brought a suitcase full of clippings from many publications telling of his exploits on the track beating some of the best runners of the country. The Spelling company fitted him out and gave him a letter of credit for replenishment of his outfit. Eddie has a wife and two children in Seattle who wish him God's speed SAMMY ROB"NSON COMES FROM ATLANTIC CITY Comes Sammy Robinson from 2008 Blaine avenue, Atlantic City. The Atlantic City Press, a leading daily, backed him and sent also a check for $300 to him for expenses in training. Robinson stayed at the Y. M. C. A. during training season. TOY LEWIS A MKINLEY SCHOOL BOY Toby Lewis, a McKinley Junior High School in also entered. Toby ran from Los Angeles to San Bor- ardino (64 miles) in 8½ hours by way of training. Harry Johnson, formerly prominent truck man of the East and champion Tampaio, known as "Walls Babe" who is a truck super, motor, mar- ter and house, or well as truck man have also been training for the great Marathon which took off on March TAKE A LOOK AT PAULINO'S KNOCK- OUT RECORD Paulino Uzcdunov's early record as a hitter is full of knockouts. He has knocked out a man in nearly every European capital. Arthus looks after Paulino's training exclusively. The are using the Bastanchury ranch near Fullerton as an outdoor camp: Paulino's European record is as follows: lows: 1823—Touroff, K. O., 2 rounds; Journe, K. O., 1 round; Sjouverman, K. O., 3 rounds. 1824—Georges' Cook, lost 10 rounds; Touroff, K. O., 2 rounds; Mahieu, K. O, 1 round; Andre Niles, K. O., 5 rounds; Arthur Tonley, K.

Al Mayer, one of the basque's many managers, throws out the Delaney fight as do most of the people who saw what actually happened. The New York commission suspend- ed everyone connected with Delaney while Paulino, supposed to be then off- ender, was not even set down. Ed. Lane, Colored Rider At Horse Show. Wins All Events As the bands blared under the brilliant lights of the gaily decorated auditorium of the Ambassador Hotel last Friday, as millionaire club men, and business men looked on from boxes filled with fashionably gowned women—the cream of society—into the arena galloped Ed. Lane, on Willielle the famous Hawaiian breed heavyweight jumper and newest addition to the Frank stables. Taking brush, picket wall and all the most difficult jumps like a great hound, the noble horse and his able rider won first prize over his thoroughbred competitors. ED. IS LAST GREAT COLORED RIDER RIDER Friday's triumph on practically a new horse was only a repetition of what Ed. had done all week on other more experienced horses of the stable he stars, and on Saturday capped the climax by winning the $2000 sweep stakes. Following this event harness horses of the Frank Stables, driven by Mr. Sullivan won an event, a 3-hour entry or pony carts was won by Mrs. Lula Long Combs, and a team event by Mrs. Hoth. Scattered through the throng were considerable number of colored people who displayed great interest in the contests, many of which were quite exciting. Ed. Lane is perhaps the last of the great colored managers, riders, and trainer of fine stables of thoroughbred horses. He has been known from coast to coast during the long years he has followed the profession, completing his education in horse training under the famous Jack Hamilton in 1916. Twenty years ago and he was in charge of the Clarence Levine stables of Avon, N.Y. During that time he has trained and developed in winners such as Rotham, Outlaw, Batam, Mountain, Black Watch, Queen's Own, See Warden, Cable, Frank Kierce and many others. He is now manager and trainer, for Mr. Arroy Frank and the ribbon-covered door of the stables, the medal, cup and cash swelling the Frank coffer bespoke of M.D.'s prowess on the tan Week Starting Friday, February 17, 1928 DOC STRAINE Presents "DOLLAR FOR A KISS" a side splitting comedy you'll enjoy Featuring BILO,— Will he Kiss 'em?

The worst Dundee should have gotten was a draw by virtue of the fact that with the first round even, after the 6th round Dundee piled up sufficient lead to have coped the decision. "SNOW-FLAKE" WRIGHT ROBBED A The desire of the average fan for justice sent up a big chorus of boos and catcalls as Oscar (Snow-Flake) Wright was deliberately robbed or a clear win over Tom Moore. Three times on quick succession the Chicago boy who hails originally from Capetown, South Africa, dropped Moore to the canvas, and 4 knock-downs count he won by a mile, regardless of the fact that Moore was still on his feet at the end or the 6 round special event. Elias Contere took a decision from Mike Holland in one of the preliminaries and in the opener Ray Cloz lost a good fight to Johnny, Cruz.

We meandered down to Watts one day last week and spent the afternoon looking over its subjects and found some folks that had really found themselves, to wit: There was our old friend, Earl Roberts, well known on the Avenue and in the automobile circle around Los Angeles several years ago, married to a splendid wife, settled down and operating the most unique eating, house in Watts known as the Cosey Barn Cafe. It's worth anyone's time to stop in and see what this young man and his loyal wife have worked up to from nothing. While in this neighborhood we visited the Knox Realty Co., another worthwhile business conducted by one of our group and found it doing business in a business way; housed in a modern brick building of the latest design. This same building housed the Watts branch of the Golden State Insurance Co. and also Attorney Beeks law office. --- From here we hopped over to Compton Blvd. and attacked the main entrance of Houston's Drug Store. Gaining admittance we recognized the proprietor as Fred Houston. We knew him of yesterday when he was too young to wear long pants. Years have passed. They call him Doc Houston now, a title usually acquired by all practicing pharmacists. Here is a young man making the supreme sacrifice to build up a business and making good. We chatted a hit and passed on to Butford's Service Station and were glad to see progress and prosperity here. The Butfords are landmarks in Watts. Taking on gas we motored further along. The one sad sight that greeted our eyes was the abandoned, unfinished brick building started a year or more ago to house a well known fraternal organization. In brief, it's a disgrace to permit such a condition to exist. We hurried by lest our previous favorable opinion gained by the afternoon visit be changed. Watts reminds one of the ugly duckling-story as we note what it was yesterday and what it is today with its modern homes, paved thoroughfares and progressive business dotting the streets. As we made our exit from the city after visiting several other businesses we passed the beautiful home of the Prowd family. There are few persons but who know Dr. Prowd, that scholarly, dignified appearing minister of the gospel who has contributed so much to the cause of Christianity. Tima robbed us of a chance to call. And now, as the sun disappeared over the western horizon and Lizzie rolled toward home our thought lingered and we longed that time would be kind and hasten the day when we should be able to return and see the rest. Last Sunday Pickens held forth at Pico and Paloma as did Lincoln at Gettesburg. Those who were not there missed a treat and from the looks of parked gatos 'twas a cosmopolitan crowd that greeted him. We wish to congratulate those who had charge of the program for the brevity of preliminary arrangements and numbers, and on the other hand pass the plate earlier. We're glad to see Rev. Shaw in traffic again. Fountain Brown was visible last Sunday for the first time, since he changed autos. Don't be so seclusive. Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Atkins were seen mobilizing on the Avenue last Sunday, uite strangers. T. J. Hooper was a welcome motor visitor last week. visitor last week. James Garrot and Sammy Bowman motored up to Big Bear last Friday and spent the week-end in the snow, skating and snow balling. They report a wonderful trip. MANHATTAN—Few have forgotten the way traffic officers in this app parent unicivilized burg treated Negro motorist a year or so ago. Things were patched up. It was hoped permanently but the enemy has launched a new attack from the rear as usually cowards and cathroats do. Homes are being burned and respectable folks shot at according to reports as a price for insisting on their constitutional rights, of living where they choose. But the Nerro has demonstrated one thing that it might: we well for Manhattan or any other place to remember:—he's no coward, and he's going to live where he owns and it he can't live then he's willing to die there. The time has passed when a minority group with the atmosphere of legal protection/cog humiliate and drive him from his home. On with the Dance! Manhattan isn't the only place that has started something they could not finish. HAVE YOU BEEN TAGGED Have you been tagged for violating traffic laws. Just now there is concentrated drive on to tag those who try to sneak across the street after the stop signal has registered its stop warning. Men and women are being hailed into court for this infraction of traffic law. "Better be safe than sorry, so park your car till the go sign is visible," says Officer Hendricks. Unofficial reports are being circulat- that a Berendo street citizen has purchased a Stutz line eight. Seeing is believing. We are yet to see. A Few Places to Motor With the pleasant weather Southern California is enjoying the motoring public is anxious to leave home and the fireside for the open air. "Among some of the many beautiful drives we have in this vicinity" says Mr. Cooper of Arrowhead Service Station, "are Big Bear, Santa Barbara or San Diego, Mulholland Drive, Hollywood Trail and Griffith Park, Down to the ocean, Eureka Villa, Elslnore and many more. Go to one of our many picnic parks dotting Los Angeles or drive through the beautiful residential section that Los Angeles has and one will be well compensated for the time put in and benefitted by the atmosphere. Again the annual Auto Show is at hand and thousands of dollars are being spent in preparations for it. The worth anyone's time if you have never seen it to attend and see what has been accomplished in an industry less than 30 years old. Annual Statement Yellow and Checker Cab Company (CONSOLIDATED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1927 TO THE STOCKHOLDERS: The net profit for the year 1927, before taxes payable in 1923, was $205,701.51, or 1.414 times dividend requirements. EARNINGS Gross revenue for the period was $3,807,362.09. Expenses, including operating overhead and administration, were $3,250,632.21. After deducting these charges an operating net revenue of $556,679.88 remained, from which a liberal depreciation charge of $362,978.37 was taken. Balance remaining for dividends and other purposes amounted to $203,701.51. Net revenue, after making provision for depreciation, but before Federal Income Taxes, was equivalent to $1.13 per share on all Class A Common Stock outstanding, which was $0.33 per share in excess of dividend requirements. The year saw the rounding out of the Company's organization and the better training of its personnel. It is the belief of the management that the organization is today one of the best in the cab business. In June the Company took possession of a second fine garage in San Francisco with a capacity for 400 cabs, giving it in all good facilities for the housing and servicing of 700 cabs in the city. A new garage for 100 cabs in Hollywood was being moved into at the close of the year and new shops and offices for the organization in Los Angeles were near completion. volume of business in the southern metropolitan center. SURPLUS: Net surplus gain was $59,698.02. This was after full dividend payments of $244,003.49. Total net surplus, in including appropriation made for sinking fund purposes, but before Federal Income Taxes payable in 1928, amounted to $144,273.47. CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Our statement for the year 1927 shows a Current Assets to Liabilities ratio of one to one. This ratio would have been better than two to one if the purchase of 150 new cabs in November, at a cost of $260,451.99, had been delayed until after the close of the accounting period. Experience in the cab business has demonstrated that the most favorable time for the addition of new equipment is just prior to the winter peak of business. If this continues to hold true, as it probably will, and your Company buys cabs accordingly, each recurring annual statement for a period ending December 31, will reflect improperly the true and substantial ratio of your Company's Current Assets to Liabilities. For this reason, your President is going to recommend to the Board of Directors that the fiscal year be changed to run from November 1 to October 31. An annual statement of your Company for a year ending October 31, 1927, would show a Current Assets to Liabilities ratio of better than two to one. FINANCING No additional stock was issued during the year. PLANT INVESTMENT The cost to the Company of cabs owned on December 31, 1927, was $1,588,722.16, against which was accrued a depreciation provision of $403,455.75, leaving a conservative book value of $1,185,286.41 as of December 31, 1927. The Company owned garage, shop, service cast, office, and other equipment, which cost the Company $123,608.81, against which was accrued a depreciation provision of $43,974.85, leaving a book value on December 31, 1927, of $79,633.96. CAB DEPRECIATION Cah. depreciation was provided for on a basis of 2c for every mile run by each cab. This provision is one-half cent greater than that made by other large cab companies and assures the future advantage of having no obsolete equipment in the Company's operation. REAL ESTATE The Company had a lease on garage property at 2208-2212 Temple street, Los Angeles, to run to March 15, 1949, at an annual rental of $5,520. On February 9, 1927 the Company purchased this property for $60,040, paying $30,040 in cash and giving a mortgage of $30,000 for the balance. DIVIDENDS Dividends on all Class-A Common Stock were paid monthly at the rate of 8% per annum. TAXES During the year the Company disbursed for taxes and license fees $49,553.95. Federal income taxes payable in 1928 are estimated at $29,000. This will make a total for taxes and license fees of $78,553.95. GROWTH IN BUSINESS During the year, the cabs of the Company brought in a revenue of $3,761,615.01, an increase of $77,218.24 over 1826. The number of passengers transported was 7,586.700. The average length of the trip was 3.57 miles and the average fare $0.328 per trip. From one to five passengers ride for one fare in any cah of the Company. An increasing use of cabs by women was noted and also a marked spread in the demand for cah service through the cities in which the Company operates. New cabs to the number of 150 put in service by the Company in Los Angeles in December, were of the latest limousine type, uncolored in rich velour and propelled by eyecylinder motors. Public response to the improved service has been gratifying. EMPLOYEES During the year the Company paid out in wages and salaries $1,913,044.30, or 50.25 cents out of every dollar of income. At the close of business on December 21, 1927, the Company had 866 stockholders. PROPOSED CHANGE IN PAR VALUE OF STOCK Shares of the Company have a par value of $10. It will be proposed to the Stockholders at a special meeting called for Tuesday, February 21, 1928, that the par value be changed to $50. This would put the stock more in keeping with the position of the Company and make its shares more attractive to investors, as the $60 par value would out the costs incident to buying and selling shares of your company four-fifth of what they are with the stock on a $10 par value basis.

"Waiting even for a few days until he has the ready money in his pocket may allow four or five times the cost of the battery. Moreover there is no reason why an automobile owner shouldn't use his battery while he pays for it, just as he pays for his car while driving it, or his house while living in it.
