Hooper Avenue Fatal Shooting VOLUME 41 Edward Cooke Fatal Victim of Gun Fired by Louis Oldham Edward Cooke Fatal Victim of Gun Fired by Louis Oldham KILLER TAKEN INTO CUS TODY BY OFFICERS KIMB- BROUGH AND BROADY The fatal shooting of Edward Cooke on last Wednesday about 11 A. M., at 1925 Hooper Ave., chalks up another homicide for the Eastside. From among the many statements the following from Officers Broady and Kimbrough seem to tell the story of the killing which will be unfolded at the Coroner's inquest: Cooke, a native of Central America, 42 years of age, had hen keeping company with a Mrs. Thomas, who resided on the premiss owned by Cooke, located on the opposite side of the street from 1914 Hooper, where Cooke lived. Mrs. Thomas had living with her at the time of the shooting, her daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Old- ham. The arresting officers, Detective Lieut. Kimbrough and Broady state that it appeared that Cooke and Mrs. Thomas were not on good terms, not withstanding the fact that Mrs. Thomas as was living in Cooke's home without paying rent. It appeared, from the investigation, that on several occasions Cooke had threatened the life of Mrs. Thomas and had stated that he would kill her if he ever saw her with another man. On the day in question, the day that Cooke was killed, he appeared to be angry and was seen to leave his home, located directly opposite from where Mrs. Thomas lived, with a shot gun in his hand. This gun was recently purchased from someone, as it is known that Cooke didn't have said gun up to this time. However, as he was about to enter the premises of Mrs. Thomas he was seen by her son-in-law, Louis Oldham. Oldham was seated at the front window and when he saw Cooke entering the yard he got up and went to the door and met Cooke, asking him what were his intentions. Just as that was spoken by Oldham, Cooke raised the gun and answered with an oath, and stated that he would give him some of it. At this remark, the gun being in an upraised position, Oldham fired his revolver. The shot from Oldham's revolver struck Cooke in the forehead and he fell to the ground and died before assistance could be given him. Kimbrough and Broaay were summoned to the scene and found Oldham with the revolver still in his hands and he told the story as related. There being no eye-witnesses in the matter other than the friend who saw Cooke before the trouble with the gun in his hand, the question now to be determined is up to the coroner's jury. The body of Edward Cooke is at the mortuary of the Angelus Funeral Home, Jefferson St. and Central Ave. Dr. H. Claude Hudson Answer "Bob" Shuler Las. Sunday afternoon Dr. Hudson, local president of the N. A. A. C. P., stood before a crowded house of Association's followers at the A. M. E. Zlon Church, Ploe and Paloma Sts., and answered the speech delivered by the Rev. Mr. Shuler at First A. M. E. Church, Cor. 8th and Towne Avenue, on the evening of Monday, March 12th. Dr. Hudson attacked the sincerity of Mr. Shuler's remarks from these angles: "In the Sheffield-Randolph case, after reading Mr. Shuler's article on the same, I was convinced that he did not have the facts, so I personally went to him and informed him of some facts that J. had gathered and further instructed him as to where and how he could secure additional facts, but my information seemed not to be what Rev. "Bob" huler wanted, for he paid no attention to either, but pursued his course of character and section assassination," said Dr. Hudson. Then, turning to the already enthusiastic audience, Dr. Hudson further suggested that if Mr. Shuler really wanted to further sponsor the cause of the Black brother, why did he PREJUDICE FIGHTING VERSUS PRIZE FIGHTING BY: WILLIAM PICKENS Ever since Godfrey licked that Spaniard in Los Angeles, there has been a sweeping storm of sentiment against against prize fighting. We, too, are opposed to the savage and commercialized sport, but we were opposed to it before Godfrey fought the Basque, and we would have been opposed to it even if the white man had won. Are all of these women's clubs, preachers, and the "Los Angeles Examiner' sure that they would have been equally opposed if the white man had won? The "Examiner," at least, answers for itself; in an editorial following (not preceding!) the fight, the "Examiner" says: "Negroes fighting white men is a bad thing." Get that? The "Examiner" does not say that white men fighting Negroes is a bad thing. If, when white men fight them, the Negroes would either run or stand still and take the beating, perhaps the "Examiner" would think it not quite so "bad" a thing after all. Notice carefully; the "Examiner" does not even say: "It is a bad thing for a Negro and a white man to fight each other." Now, the "women's clubs" are not quite so frank (or so indiscreet) as the "Examiner:" they profess to be 'opposed to "brutal prize fighting," only they slipped up on the dates—they should have expressed their opposition the week before the fight took place, not the week after. Darn poor chance to stop the fight after it was over. Paulino's face might have been saved an awful beating up if these womn had acted in time. Just the proverbial feminine habit of being a little late, perhaps. A suggestion to the "Examiner" and the others: PRHAPS THE BEST WAY TO BREAK UP PRIZE FIGHTING, AFTER ALL, WOULD BE TO LET "JAWGE" GODFREY MEET A FEW MORE WHITE MEN, EVEN TUNNEY; for if he should lick Tunney, Mississippi, South Carolina and the editor of the "Examiner" would be willing to raise a regiment of marines to stop the whole infernal business. Jack Johnson, when his big black fists flattened Jim Jeffries, came very near to killing prize boxing. Perhaps if you turn Godfrey loose on Tunney, he'll finish the beastly game. New Orleans, La., Mar. 30—(By The Associates, Negro Press) Mrs. Gustavia Coleman is dead at Charity Hospital, the result of burns received when her dress caught fire from an open gate. There was no one in the house at the time of the accident and the woman was practically burned to death. leave Texas and come to Los Angeles? "This city I admit, is corrupt, but nothing like the average Texas city where Negroes are not only humiliated but are lynched and burned without trial or investigation. "Mr. Shuler admonished you to watch your leaders. Well, I say watch them too, but then watch "Bob" Shuler also. I would trust my case to the average Negro leader rather than to Mr. Shuler. Mr. Shuler atacks organizations that would rather secure for Negroes the right to live in any section of the city than to drive out the Chinese lottery next door. The Chinese lottery is a moral question and is in the hand of the police and not of the policy of the black people, while the right to own a home wherever one is able to buy is a fundamental principle of citizenship and cannot be compared with such vices as gambling. "We want to advise Mr. Shuler that so long as Hollywood and other aristocratic sections of Los Angeles are what they are today, we will have good luck purifying the Central "Avenue District," and since he, I in his speech claims that this is a white and a Black man's country, jointly, and that good whites and good blacks have no trouble but move forward like brothers when they get together, then we say, why the howl about keeping even the industrious black man who has amassed sufficient wealth and culture to measure up to the highest American standard, out of such sections called "white section?" Thompson Exonerated Of Suspicion Of Manslaughter Charge At the Coroner's inquest held the 24th inst., Sumner M. Thompson was exonerated of all blame in the death of Mr. George Brackett, age 76. The Jury rendered a verdict that the accident was unavoidable, as the deceased attempted to walk across San Pedro Street about twenty feet south of the regular street crossing at 16th. Arresting Officer Anderson testified that Thompson stopped, rendered aid and that no whiskey, was found on Thompson or in his car. Mr. William M. Rains of the Law Firm of William I. Gilbert, Southern Pacific Counsel, represented Thompson HOLD MAN FOR WIFE'S DEATH New Orleans, La., Mar. 20 (By The Associated, Negro Press). John Sims is being detained by the police pointing investigation of the asphyxiation of his wife and eight month old child. Mrs. Stella Harris, the grandmother, discovered the two in their room when she entered to awaken them. According to the story of Mrs. Harris, the gas supply had been shut off from the house several weeks ago, and police are working on the theory that Sims turned on the gas at the meter below the house, whether with criminal intent or not has not yet been ascertained.

The contractors are straining every nerve to have the building completed on time and from the rate already attained there is no question of their success in presenting to the stockholders of the Somerville Investment Company a beautiful and modern hotel building, the finest for its size on the entire Pacific Coast. The building proper represents an investment of $200,000.00 and at the instance and initiative of Dr. J. A. Somerville, the great Metropolitan Company financed the great project. At this stage Dr. J. A. Somerville unselfully decided to allow all who stand for constructive progress and with a desire to join in with such a progressive movement, put in his investment dollar for dollar and organised a corporation, the name of which is, The Somerville Investment Company, with Dr. J. A. Somerville, Pres.; H. A. Howard; 141 Vice-Pres.; C. A. Bass, 2nd Vice-Pres.; Atty. Murdock, Secy.; Bishop J. W. Martin, Secy. All who so desire will have the opportunity to join in as an active part and parcel of the Somerville Investment Company which is destined to solve the problem of business progress for one group on these Western Shores. As a matter of fact the hotel is but the start of this great program of construction. The lesson of the success and demonstrated sturdiness of the Japanese with their modern stores, banks and varied enterprises in the heart of a metropolitan city, can and will be over-shadowed by the activities of the black group of Los Angeles. This is apart from the fact that the Japanese have a population of only 15,000 while the colored population numbers anywhere from 50 to 75 thousand. It was therefore reassuring indeed when the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance by a unanimous vote on last Monday endorsed the Somerville program and were enthusiastic about it to the highest degree. When the ministry and the press unite on such movements as the above it protends a new era in a gigantic and mighty move for progress. Curtis J. Mosby Speeds East to Bedside of StrickenFather Mr. Curtis J. Mosby, prominent figure in Los Angeles' musical circles and popular leader of the renown orchestra playing at the Lincoln Theatre bearing his name, left town Wednesday evening for Kansas City. The father of Mr. Mosby, the Rev. Dr. G. T. Mosby, former Baptist moderator and president of the Ministerial Alliance of Kansas City, lies at death's door, suffering a recurring attack of paralysis. The senior Mosby is widely known in church, fraternal, and civic circles there. The stricken father has been suffering from this malady about six months; his improvement has been gradual and it was thought that his recovery would be only a matter of short time. Upon receiving a telegram concerning another attack, and informing him that the situation was gravy, Mr. Mosby lost no time in securing an indefinite leave of absence THE DANCE OF THE DAY Otherwise Dorothy Williams, left, and Pauline Elliot, right. This is Los Angeles' newest and cutest girl team to enter vaudeville. Now playing a string of West Coast Theatres. Fast dancers, peppy, earnest little flappers. Sweet Baby Dorothy Williams and Peerless Pauline Howard are making quite a record for themselves in a team act. They are known as "Dot and Dimple" the HiBrown Cnties. They have been successfully playing in several of the popular theatres in the city. The managers that are booking them are more than pleased with their act. They are receiving great applause in every theatre they have appeared in. They have charming, pleasing and wonderful personalities which captivate the audience as soon as they step on the stage. The managers are sending them East in the near future. Look for them soon at the Lincoln. Hooray! for "Dot and Dimple," the Hi-Brown Cuties. Lake Charles, La., Mar. 30 (By The Associated Negro Press) Lester Simon 14 year old boy, he confessed to the police that he was responsible for the disappearance or a four-year-old white boy, the son of E. J. Doran of this city, who was missing thirty-six hours from his parents' residence. It is said that Simon enticed the lad from his home to play with, and becoming tired, abandoned him on the banks of a rice canal, but denies beating him or in any manner ill-using the child. from his duties at the theatre and making his departure. He hopes to arrive, there in company with his cousin, Mr. Geo. Phillippe, Saturday morning, March 31. While in the East, Mr. Mosby will confer with Sam. (Bilo) Russell regarding the new company he will bring West. He will assist him in selecting the cast and chorus from the various Eastern cities—Chicago, and possibly New York. He expects to complete the arrangements for Bilo's company with the Lincoln Theatre. His trip or necessity, with the side business trip, will take from ten to fifteen days. Lonell Hampton takes the drums in his absence at the theatre, while his brother, Gee. T. Mosby, Jr., takes complete charge of the Curtia J. Mosby Music Store. On Monday evening, April 2nd, at First A. M. E. Church, 8th and Towne Ave., a program consisting entirely of Negro Music, Art and Drama, will be given by 8th and Towne Chol, assisted by members of some of the leading choir of the city. The program will be interesting, entertaining and educational. A chorus of over 100 voices will sing compositions of the Race's best composers. Hear Michel J. Massengill, lyric soprano. See Zenobia Baskin's playlet, "Never Again." Hear Bernice Love Wigfits read her own poems in Negro dialect. This is a program worth while, at 8th and Towne, Monday, April 2nd. RSV. W. D.

It is roughly estimated that there are in California, between seventy-five and a hundred thousand Negroes, sixty thousand of whom reside in Los Angeles. To date, about the biggest accomplishment put over by the group to its credit is "The Golden tate insurance Company." By course, there are a few individuals who have amassed or inherited some wealth, but as a group, Negro business in Los Angeles compares unfavorably with other groups, for instance the Japanese. At the interdenominational Ministerial Alliance last Monday morning, it was suggested by those who listened to Dr. J. A. Somerville, that out of the dimness of our business vision, a Moses had arisen. On this occasion already mentioned, Dr. Somerville stood up before the reverend brethren and declared that the hotel plan projected by him was the fulfillment of a vision. After listening to his very remarkable plan to resurrect Los Angeles' Negroes from the grave of business oblivion, the writer of this column was impressed to the extent of asking those who go forth with their little banner declaring that "unless we do it, it can't be did" to lay off, for we declare unto you, perpetual Krockers, that you are impeding your own progress in this community. Personal likes and dislikes, church, social and political affiliations have no place in business transactions and should not form the basis of our business activities. SOME "Don'ts"—Turn to see who is coming in church after you are in and seated. Look back when the minister asks sinners to stand. Attempt to snub, remembering that you can only snub your inferior. Think that you are the only wise one. Throw stones if you live in a glass house. WE attended Bethel Baptist Church Sunday and enjoyed the service. THE bars are down, so please come in, says the Women's International League in extending an invitation to all peoples of whatever color or race to become a member of the League. A birthday party in celebration of its first anniversary will be the feature of Monday, April 2, meeting of the Women's International League at 435 So. Boyle avenue. Among the speakers for the day, there will be three Black women. DR. GIBSON was speaker at the Men's City Forum, Sunday and her message of World Peace was graciously received by the large gathering present. IF you are for 'em they object and if you are agin' em they say all manner of evil against you: so it seems that the very best policy to pursue is to simply get astride the force on all issues and when a question is put to you-jog up and down on your wooden horse "what won't go one way or the other." MRS. Clara Hulbert, who is one of Los Angeles' most energetic business women, has been in the Real Estate business for the past few years, making marvelous progress in this line. Last Sunday, Mrs. Hulbert invited the Eagle Staff to dinner and, in the meantime, granted the privileges of inaposition to her new and most complete business office attached to her residence where she prepares, in particular, to put over the calls and development of the Valley Truck Station. iil lal i a Page—Ten RAILROAD CLATTER es Sip et S$ Joo Rakestraw - “DINING CAR COOKS AND WAITERS “LOCAL MEETS:IN REGULAR Fe bt.

San Francisco, Cal., Mar. 20.—More than 170,000 men are out of work in California. This is the estimate of the State Labor Commissioners' Office. It is the greatest number since 1921 and affects the state more deeply by reason of the fact that in 1921 the unemployed were able to subsist on earnings saved from the war prosperity wave. Breadlines have been established in San Francisco and hundreds are being fed daily. In Los Angeles the work of feeding the out-of-work is less organized and actual hunger is said to exist there.

Peppers was electrocuted for the murder of Florence Buck postmistress of Grimm's Landing, W. in a Galliopolis Hotel last August 15th. Ever since his trial, Peppers has declared that he was innocent and that he had not received a sentence deal. So persistent was he in his assertion that it was thought that the governor would grant him a reprieve so that the Stag Board of Clemency might review his case. The New FREE! For Ambition DO YOU U.

St. Louis, Mo., Mar. 21.—William Moseley, 52 years old, who shot and killed two white persons and his common-law wife, last September 19, was sentenced Friday by Circuit Judge Rutledge to hang April 20. He was convicted of Murder, February 21 by a jury, which fixed the death penalty. Moseley, a tall, stern-looking man, paid no attention when the court passed sentence. His victims were Marcus Bass, a grocer at 1821 Division Street, whom Moseley suspected was intimate with his common-law wife, and Bass' wife, Rebecca, and Milred White, over whom Moseley was jealous. The white woman was struck by a stray, bullet. A 10-months' old daughter of Moseley and Mrs. White also was wounded and died later from the effect. He was tried specifically for the murder of Milred White. Loses $2,000 When (By: A. N. P.) Opelousas, La., Mar. 19.—Harrison Williams, living in Bayou Chicot lost $2,200 when his home was burned.

Scott, Chaplain Corps, U.S.A. retired, who died of a heart attack at his residence there tuesday. Funeral services were held Saturday from the Metropolitan A.M. E. Church and the remains were in interred in the Arlington cemetery with befitting military ceremonies.

Surviving the deceased are his widow, Mrs. Nettie Scott, a son, Albert P. Scott, a daughter, Miss Ruth P. Scott, and a grandson. Says Common Sense and Christianity will Solve Race Problem (By: A. N. P.) New York City, Mar. 21.—The only real and practical solution of the so-called race problem in American life must be based on commonsense and Christian behavior, was the opinion expressed by Bishop Manning here in an address delivered at Iarnegle Hall, Monday night. "For my own part," the Bishop declared, "I think I can claim to know something of the question for I have lived and worked many happy years in the South, and I take pride in the fact that first two children I ever baptized were little colored babies. The first class I confirmed was a class of colored people and the first church I consecrated was for a colored congregation, the first parish house I dedicated was for a colored parish and the first Bishop at whose consecration I assisted was a colored Bishop." A large Bible was presented to the Bishop by girls and boys of nine industrial schools, for which the Bishop is essaying to raise $150,000. The Bible will be placed on the lectern of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. WESLEY CHAPEL This Sunday will mark the 20th anniversary of the Pastor's ministry which he will celebrate with great Palm Sunday Services, Sunday morning and evening.

Tuesday night, was a most wonderful success with more than 300 persons attending. This is an Annual affair and has called a long felt wang in the minds of those who have contended for a get-to-gether movement. Visitors from all the churches in the city were there irrespective of sect and a very enjoyable time was had. Much music was in evidence and the repast was most palatable. Mr. and Mrs. Griffen of Sunset Avenue entertained the New York Club of the A. M. E. Church to which a large crowd attended. This club avers it will put on one of the finest banquets yet held in Pasadena. The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dotson at 395 North Vernon was the setting of a smartly appointed five course dinner on last Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Alice Overr as hostess to which twenty-two couples were invited. The dining room was beautifully decorated in pink and white sweet peas and the tables bore the same assortment tastily arranged. Beautiful candlesticks adorned each table and with subdued lights the effect was most fascinating. The guests were seated at a given signal and all partook of the sumptuous repast which consisted of the following, prepared by Mr. Wm. Bauler, known throughout Pasadene as the "King of Chefs" fruit cocktail; fried chicken; Virginia ham; candied sweets; peas; celery; olives; jelly; baby Parkerhouse rolls; piping hot coffee; cake and ice cream with molds representing all kinds of flowers and animals; tomato salad.

The carrying on of the Somerville Hotel and the practical demonstration which is aparent is indeed a refreshing proposition for all the people of our own and other groups who stand for constructive progress. That this venture will be a success, there is no gainsaying and it is now in order for some of the old fossils and doubting Thomases to retire from view as men and women of action appear on the scene. The members of the fourth estate situated throughout the country, with pencil in hand are treking their way this incoming week toward Louisville, Kentucky, for the annual meet of the National Negro Press Association. Truly this is a rare example of sacrifice and devotion for a cause. The effort of the Association for constant effort to get together on a program for constructive effort, means great accomplishments for the future and to those who make the sacrifice from great distances to attend the race of today and tomorrow owes a debt of gratitude which they can never repay. DID LINCOLN FAVOR NEGRO SUFFERAGE? (By A. N. P.)—For considerable time there has been some doubt in the minds of many people regard to the attitude of the Great Emancipator on Negro Suffrage. Anent the celebration of Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, Major R. R. Wright, Sr., President of Citizens & Southern Bank and Trust Company of Philadelphia, Pa., made some investigation on this subject. He has discovered that Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to Governor Michael Hahn of Louisiana, in which Mr. Lincoln set forth his attitude with reference to Negro suffrage. The letter shows that Abraham Lincoln favored limited suffrage for colored voters My dear Sir: I congratulate you on having fixed your name in history as the first free-state governor of Louisiana. Now you are about to have a convention which, among other things, will probably define the elective franchise. I barely suggest for your private consideration, whether some of the colored people may not be let in as, for instance, the very intelligent, and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. They would probably help, in some trying time to come, to keep the jewel of liberty within the family of freedom. But this is only a suggestion not to the public, but to you alone. (By A. N. P.)—Before a fashionable audience which crowded the beautiful Goodman Theatre (Chicago) downtown on last Sunday, Florence Cole-Talbert, making her first appearance here since returning from her prolonged European study and grand opera debut, was acclaimed "Mistress of Song." Encore after encore was demand by the delighted audience as Mrs. Talbert rendered her program of French, Italian, and English songs, ending with four particularly effective spiritual numbers. The beauty of her voice and her charming personality, enhanced undoubtedly by the finish in stage deportment which her stay in Italy and France have given her, charmed her hearers. Mrs. Talbert was presented by the Zeta-Zeta Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority as the finagle of their celebration of "Finer-Womanhood Week," the chapter president, Mrs. Cleo Holloway, explaining in a graceless curtain speech that Mrs. Talbert represented their idea of an example of finer wommanhood. She is to make Chicago her permanent home, it is reported. (By A. N. P.)—The Cape Fear Journal, publisher in North Carolina, celebrated its first anniversary Saturday with a regular "Anniversary issue." The publication, edited by Henry E. Jervay, made its appearance exactly one year ago as a four-page leaflet. A few months later the four columns took on another and the sheet looked a bit more like a regular newspaper. To day the Journal boasts of a six-column, eight-page newspaper, and "still a-growing." Associated with editor Jervay are: John T. Bolden, managing editor, William R. Jervay, business manager and Miss Edith Jervay, associate editor. ```markdown ``` CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRESS The carrying on of the Somerville demonstration which is aparent is ini tion for all the people of our own a for constructive progress.

C., Mar. 21.—Mystery yet surrounds the death of Robert Bishop, who was found in a field near his home on the outskirts of the city with his neck broken Monday morning. Mud on the clothing of the dead man indicated that he had been dragged quite a distance and mud in his home around the suspicion that a large number of men had been with him at his home and that he met death at their hands. The coroner's jury reached an verdict and officers are still working on the case. --- ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Democratic Club (By: A. N. P.) Cleveland, Ohio, Mar. 21.—Plans are under way for the organization of a Democratic Club, among the Negro voters, here, according to an announcement made Tuesday by Solomon Harper, former democratic worker of New York City. "The colored race generally," said Mr. Harper, "is coming to the realization that the veneration given the Republican Party since the Civil War has not helped it. We hope to have a well organised group or colored people working under the Democratic standard, possibly we hope for Al Smith." BY: W. J. WHEATON It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Rodman Wanamaker, Merchant prince, humanitarian, philanthropist. He was an exempler of the "open door of opportunity" hasmuch as he gave employment to men and women without regard to color or race. He was a patron of Negro genius. Through munificent awards he encouraged aspiring artists in music, sculptor and painting. It is stated that whenever anyone of the many employees or the Race gave evidence of business or managerial ability, regardless of his racial affiliation, he was given a chance. It is only through contact with big business that the Negro is to develop its successful men of affairs. We should feel grateful for the favors of his life's gifts and sincere regret at his passing. Thirty-six years gone the 19th of March the battleship Oregon crossed the bar of San Francisco Bay, out through the Golden Gate on that memorable cruise around the Horn which was to bring her glory and fame in the destruction of the Spanish fleet July 3rd, 1898. The "bull dog" of the navy as he was then termed is doing duty as a training ship in the naval reserve. Staunch today as ever, but obsolete. She was constructed with a consciously detail to minutest bolt. Her armour plate was given the severest of tests, all in all she stands today a monument to the honesty, integrity and skill of the Pacific Coast ship constructor. Long may she ride the waves! --- This is a "hard boiled" age. A regular "Show me" era, in which the unprepared man or woman—young or old—is at a disadvantage. Efficiency is the slogan of this day. No makehift will stand the inspections. Artist or artizan; constructor or ditch digger; business or financier, you must know it thoroughly or you will fail and wonder why. When a great railroad builder wanted his boy to learn the principles of transportation, and the intricacies of railroad management he did not place the boy in the highest office or the organization, he started him from the lowliest-position in the shops. A great financier wanted his son to be able to master the international banking and he served for more than a decade as a clerk in foreign financial institutions until he was master of every detail. --- When we view the many failures in the financial; efforts of the Race—many of them abject—we see that seventy-five per cent of them are caused by unfamiliarity with the project. Too great a desire to start at the top, and find out, too late, that the structure has been erected on shifting sands. The institutions that are muddling through have had the benefit of a leadership who have had experience in minor positions, which they augmented by close observation and study. All of the Race banks and insurance companies that have weathered the storm have been founded by such men. The sense of financial ordiliness will be hard to cultivate. We place great stress on the burning of the mortgage of a church. The event is made one of great rejoicing and the occasion for fervid oratory. Even though they may plaster on another one the next week to install a pipe organ. The means by which that mortgage/has been lifted is not studied. The slip shod "92 cents more brothers and we will have an even $10.00" has been taken for granted as the proper method of finance because it burned the mortgage. Therefore all,—well, not all,—but ninety per cent of our financial ventures have been promoted on the "92 cents more" basis. The idea of a Budget is foreign. The merchant instinct is rare in the Race. It may be latent. If the business talent would develop in ratio to the artistic it would not be long ere we could point to Captains of industry and Masters in Finance. Harry Kingman, writing in "Asia" gives a graphic picture of Baseball as played by the Japanese. In speaking of the Japanese code of sports, maniship, he says, "On the centerfield fence at Koshleu, 375 feet from the plate is to be seen a round circle, under it is a date in April, 1927, and the name "Dixon." A Negro outfielder of the Philadelphia Royal Giants, who played at Koshleu in April had smashed a Ruthian drive against the fence at the spot commemorated. A proud people, intensely ambition to show the way themselves, the Japanese nevertheless paid dramatic tribute to the enemy. Stifling the false pride which would have prompted not advertisement but concealment of the superiority of the alien, they put up the reminder that in baseball, the Japanese national game, Negro Americans were supermen. Cole Blease, Senator, S. Carolina, has been interviewed and in that interview he has stated his friendship for and love of the Negro—But listen! here are some of the high lights of the alleged interview. "I have always been the Colored man's friend and am so considered by him today. I do not favor social equality, and the best element or Colored people do not want social equality. They want equal rights, equal privileges, and equal service." Referring to a number of men in South Carolina, he named especially, Rev. R. W. Mance, A. M. E. preacher, and R. S. Wilkinson, president of the South Carolina Normal and Industrial Institute. He said, "The best element of the Colored people realize that when a white person in the South places himself on their level and equality in social affairs, he is not as good as they are." Speaking of the bill he introduced for separate street cars in the District, he said, "Some white man at some time is going to resist or resent a Colored man's or what he considers a Colored man's attention or discountey to some white woman in the street cars. It is going to lead to an assault. Possibly someone may be killed and it will lead to serious trouble between the races." That's the Please complex augmented by the acquiescence of such Race men as he names. Mon who will kneel when he commands and jump at the crack of the whip. No self-respecting man would boast of the friendship of a demagogue who stands in public places and not only denounces their efforts to progress, unless subservient to the whims and wishes of the Southern white men, but tells them they are an inferior people and they "Yes suh." Negro men, wherever they reside, should ignore the friendship of such men as Blease. If we could forget the color complex long enough, we might also impress the fact that we are men, on such characters as is represented by the Senator from South Carolina. Just as long as we agree with those gentlemen that they are a superior people,—always with a hipocritical reservation—just so long will the Race in that section be kept in subjection, mentally, if not physically. The sooner that the Young Negro, North or South, rids themselves of such leadership, just that much nearer to the attainment of real manhood and womanhood for the Race. ```markdown ``` It is the consensus of opinion among knowing politicians that should the final grip for the presidency be between Gov. Smith and Herbert Hoover that the final outcome would be favorable to Smith, but that Hoover would have a walk away with any other aspirant the Democrats could name. Politics is "pollytics." It has no more compunction than a Missouri mule and is as heartless as an oyster. The only fellow whose sympathies run to sentimentalism is the fellow who thinks he is acting his own will; he don't realize that he is but a marionette dancing to the strings pulled by unseen hands. People, the rank and file, may whoop for Hoover or some other candidate, but when the proper time comes a candidate will be named, the proper "ballyyhoo" given, and Mr. Voter will forget the candidate of his choice, fall in line and vote as bidden. So much for having somebody else to think for us, and cuss ourselves for negligence when things go wrong. --- It is rumored that ex-Gov. Richardson has finally made up his mind to oppose Senator Hiram Johnson for the Senatorial toga. We always thought the ex-Governor was a glutton for political punishment, but if such is the case we certainly will have to give him the concrete reinforced medal. Oh, what a walloping the sage of Long Beach will receive! But it will be an interesting, scrap, while it --- The Sinclair-Fall oil muddle has thrown the Republican party on the defensive. By procrastination in denouncing the affair they allowed the Democrats to on bank them and take the offensive. This has been enhanced by the demagogy of Borah, Democrat masquerading as Republican, who is loaning comfort and assistance to the enemy. His infirmsions with the Southern gentlemen have caused any amount of criticism. We know that he has none of the attributes that were the principal assets of the founders of Abraham Lincoln's party. He would nullify the humanitarian 14th, 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution, but his dry fanaticism would enforce the 18th, without respect to the wishes of the people. Of course, Borah, a resident of Idaho, is Republican from expediency. The party having its foes within to stab in the back, as well as those without to fight, will be at a loss to look for loyalty. Can they depend, as of yore, on the vote of the Negro men and women? Let's see. First: How about "Jim Crow." Segregation, even in the Bureau Departments, done with the knowledge, if not with the connivance, of the Administration? Second: How about the enforcing of enactments which the Constitution guarantees to all citizens, but is fragrantly disregarded by open boasts? Oh well! There are so many "sins of omission" that they are hard to enumerate, but, can the G. O. P. in the face of such bank on the loyalty of the Negro voter? It will be no use for the politician from Dixie to come up to tell us. We have his measure. Down in Florida, in order to exercise his franchise, the Negroes tried to register for the Democratic primaries. They registered in such numbers that, alarmed, they closed the registration books. Texas Negroes carried their right to the U. S. Supreme Court, and won. The Florida white Democrats say their party is a private association and they can name their own associates. We know that there are Negroes who will go up against the muzzle of the shot gun to vote. Will they be protected? CRAZED WOMAN RUNS AMUCK New Orleans, La., Mar. 30 (By The Associated Negro Press). After terrorizing the neighborhood with bricks and an ice pick, Carrie Gordon, crazed woman, was captured by Police Officer Thomas Harvey and a group of five volunteer citizens who narrowly escaped with their lives. The woman weighs in the neighborhood of 215 pounds and appeared on the streets armed with an ice pick ripping mail boxes from residences and hurling bricks. She was taken to the hospital City Hall Dedication To be Mammoth Affair The new Los Angeles City Hall, declared by art critics and architects to be America's most beautiful municipal building, will be formally opened and dedicated on Thursday, April 26, with the greatest municipal celebration that has ever been held here. The Citizens' Committee, headed by Joseph M. Schenck and embracing representatives of every civic, patriotic, industrial and fraternal group in the city, is in complete charge of the dedicatory ceremonies. Erected at a cost of $20,000.00 less than the $5,000,000.00 voted for it, the new City Hall stands as a mark in the progress of the phenomenal development of Los Angeles according to the civic leaders who have joined in making its opening the occasion for a city holiday. The majors and executives of all California cities and towns are being invited to attend the affair which will include a civic luncheon, a monstrous civic, military and industrial parade and pageant, the formal dedicatory ceremonies, the lighting of the Lindbergh Beacon by wire by President Coolidge, a night aerial circus in Lindbergh's honor, and a fire works display, with the opening of the building to the public. It is expected that the parade, which is to pass in review before the new structure, will be the greatest procession ever, seen in California. Army, navy, national guard, schools, patriotic and fraternal groups will be in the line of march, with twenty-five bands already provided for. The officers of the Citizens' Committee in charge of the affair follow: Chairman, Joseph M. Schenk; Vice chairmen, William M. Garland, Mrs. William Read, John Steven McGroarty, John T. Newel, Judge Leonard Wilson and A. W. Hoch; Joseph Sartori, treasurer; E. Merz, assistant treasurer; E. J. Deborey, assistant to the chairman and Fred Frank, secretary.

And they meet—a dark brown boy meets a yellow haired blonde boy, one from—the snow drifts of Indiana; the other from the palm groves of Panama—a little brown demon and a blonde terror; a whirling golf typhoon and a northern blizzard—SANTIAGO ZORRILLA and SANTIAGO ZORRILLA SANTIAGO ZORRILLA Lightning fast, game and hard-hitting little Panama featherweight who meets Bud Taylor next Tuesday at the Olympic Auditorium. BUD TAYLOR. There will be more breath-taking excitement in one round of flying fists than in fifteen rounds of usual fights. Santiago Zorrilla, the San Blas Indians featherweight, is the most consistent performer and most consistent aloxer on the Pacific Coast. The boy has won 50 fights in California in the last 18 months. He is a showman as well as a great boxer and he packs them in wherever he appears. Zorrilla will invade Eastern rings soon and should take the East by storm. He is managed by Wirt Ross, who expects to make Zorrilla world's feathb erweight champion this year. FIGHTS SANGOR IN MILWAUKEE NEXT MONTH Manager Ross received a wire from Tom Andrews in Milwaukee reminding him that he expects him there by April 10th. Bud Taylor is again boxing out of the class in which he holds the championship but he finds it hard to remain down to bantam weight hence hopes to become featherweight cham- Rosy Rosales Meets Bill Thayler at Main St. A.

So far he has beaten most of the boys in that division but Zorrilla is the only other black boy he has been matched against in California besides Chick Siggs. His fight with Suggs, May 31st, last year, at the Olympic, was the 13th of his California bouts. It is history how he stopped the great New England boy but he will be in for a nice large enemy with the boy from the Jethmus. The words "San Blas Indian," means nothing to the Central Avenue fans—"He's colded right on," they say and follow him to all his fights. The general little brown boy "lives, moves and has his being" among the other colored people of the Eastside and they all like him and his stalemates. A splendid supporting card has been tacked on by matchmaker Wadhams and a record crowd especially of colored fans will be out full strength. Neil Cisby Back and Rarin' To Go The worry of the heavyweights Neal Clisby is back in town. Neal dropped in from the East where he was taken by his astute manager Tom Jones for bouts at Kansas City, Mo, Galveston, Texas, Chicago and points east and middle-west. Clisby is one of the men genuinely feared heavyweights in the game. The doughy colored battler has only lost one decision since being in front ranks; that one to Bear-Cat Wright at Lincoln, Neb, two years ago. Bear-Cat out-welighed him 35 pounds, but even at that the great colored boy socked him and socked him plenty as he does all big fellows. He is the only man to give George Godfrey a good battle. Neal found it hard to get opponents while away, just as he does here. Neal is "wrink" to go; is in perfect shape and anxious to spot any or all the heavies here.

Gardner and made up a purse for him at a church social. Ed graciously insisted that part of it be given to Toby Josephs the 17 year old colored boy who though not heard of is doing fine. Toby is a McKinley High School boy, Sonny Robinson is still in. Phillip Granville ran second Tuesday and Ed. Gardner still figures on collecting the cash offered by Dr. Bell, Dr. Guidero, the Main Loan and Jewelry Co., the Banks Bros' lot and the offers made by Mr. A. A. Adams and the California Eagle. MUSHY CALLAHAN SHOWS OLD CLASS PAYS HOPPE BACK FOR HOLLYWOOD DEFEAT Real honest to goodness tit-for-tat revenge sounded in those long ripping uppercuts to the body with which Mushy Callahan almost tore Dick Hoppe in two, last Tuesday. It wasn't for nothing that Mushy used to try them out on his suffering trainer and friend Ralph Volke at the Main St. and Manhattan gyms. Mushy is back. Looked like a billion dollars and paid Hoppe back for the almming he gave him at Hollywood when he was sick. The Jewish junior welter champ is also ready to take care of the rest of the contenders as fast as they come. --- It is the usual policy of the Lincoln Theatre to show appreciation of the splendid support given it by the Black Press to recognize its members who attend more in the line of their work than for pleasure seeking. By the promoters of all public events, black or white the same recognition is gladly tendered, they reaping the benefits four-fold if broad and far seeing enough to avail themselves of the opportunity.

After all you cannot get far without it because of the thing sit brings. Frequently you hear athletes criticized for leaving the amateur ranks and selling their services for money, but the ephemeral glory of fame is not substantial enough to trust to its sure fading without leaving the residue of hard "bucks" behind. So my advice to all amateur boxers is to get into the money making professional class as soon as possible. Along Fisticuffs Row Neal Clisby fights Louie Alvarado at San Berdoo, April 12th. Jimmy Black will show Baby Sal some new Eastern socks. Mr. Ted Benson is now sole manager of these great boys according to latest reports. Willie Henry is training every day at the Manhattan gym. Dummy Mahan is very popular with the gym boys. Joe Glaza, manager of Wolcott Langford, was fully acquitted of the false charges against him and comes West soon with some of his star entertainers.

Dr. J. L. Pomeroy, county health officer, says that the people here have reached a new high mark in physical well-being. There is less sickness, and no sign of an epidemic of any nature. Attacks of juvenile ailments have been mild, with every school open. His explanation is: "Increasing public co-operation in applying rules of sanitation and hygiene."

THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART The laetst heard from Ed "Sheik" Gardner is that he is still up among the leaders in the Hot Foot Deroy. Ed takes it slow on the rough places and does not strain or tire his muscles to any great extent, but when speed is needed to put him back among the leaders for time elapsed the boy has it, and no foolin.' Another Negro showing great signs of finishing among the chosen few is Philip Granville, of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Granville is originally from Jamaica in the West Indies. He is a walker and at the start of the race little was heard of him, but he is slowly but surely coming into his own. More power to the Black Boys! Neil Clisby the well known heavy of the Pacific Coast lost his first battle since his K. O. at the hands of Godfrey, last week in Galveston, Texas. Neil was fighting one of the best boys in the South, Black or White, in the person of "Big Bill Hart." Bill Hart is a man of color who has been going like a house a fire in the South lately. The beut was over the 12-round route and Hart took the decision after a hard, tight, scrap.

At the expiration of his present contract, April 6, 1928, with Doc Straine, he will organize a company in New York to be known as "BILO AND HIS GANG" and return immediately to Los Angeles, where he will engage ten of Los Angeles' beautiful Chorus Girls and go in rehearsal for his new show which will open at the Lincoln the latter part of April. BILO says that he will be back to make you LAUGH longer and louder than ever before in a new show every week enacted by some of the country's most famous artists supported by one of Los Angeles' own hand-picked Chorus.

STAGE AND SCREEN LINCOLN THEATRE Brighter Outlook Seen as Lincoln Theatre Ends Second Week of Varieties Bill Wonderful bill greets Lincoln Theater-goers in third week of varieties bill. In the week just ended the entire bill was matchless. Each and every one appearing on the bill was worth the price paid for admission. It is really surprising how people who claim to enjoy real talent can miss these shows. Bilo is gone, it is true, but what or it? Acts have appeared since he left that, would, ordinarily make him look sick in comparing real abilities. Do we mean by our nonattendance that the only kind or entertainment that we can enjoy is some ' loud talking' or ' buffoon antics' as those exemplified by Bilo? We can't possibly mean that. Each act appearing last week to my notion was a head liner. There appeared: headling with the Bilbrew Quartett; Gill and Warren, Two Ebony Kings, that can really sing and dance; went over like a house a-fire: the Bilbrew Quartett, that wonderful aggregation of male voices blended in vocal chimes; a fitting climax for any show: Ed. Mahoney, who essayed the double character of a Jew and an Irishman, in such rapid succession that left some of the nativesapping for hours; his antics as Master of Ceremonies was too hot; Clara Wallacks, a true personification of strength, beauty, grace and charm. This baby couldn't be heat in her physical culture dance. Wayne Bradford, a big, good-natured boy, that can dance, right out of this world. Don't miss the show, folk, they are really good. Here it is folk. Here's your chance to show your appreciation for the filming and presenting films wherein our people find employment. Uncle Tom's Cabin opened Wed., March 28th at the Criterian Theatre, Grand Ave., at Seventh. See it by all means, it's really a good picture. James B. Lowe one of our own, got real money for playing the title role. Much criticism of this picture comes from certain groups, who hate to see a colored man play such important roles, and draw down fat salaries. They prefer a 'black face' white doing it. Let's show our appreciation. Kelly Wins First Prize National Ins. Magazine Atlanta, Ga., Mar.28—W. C.

All of the money expended was checked through the 1st Standard Bank of Louisville. Electrical Contractor Cooper of Indianapolis was imported to do the electrical work, the city department saying that no better work had been presented for inspection. Two, white men were engaged in steel construction and two Italians did the marble work in the Terrazi. All of the other construction totalling nearly 100,000 was done by Negroes.

JACKSON, TENN. The road of the versatile musician is by no means beset with roses. Difficulties concerning what the program should be constitute all annoyance to the artist for he is today all too desirous to cater to his clientele at sometimes, all too hazardous costs. But the following fact I believe is incontrovertible: concert admission fees among Negroes are far too low. This necessarily affects the artist's fee and makes the booking of daily concerts when procurable absolutely imperative. Now it is a dangerous practice for a singer to render a legitimate recital program two or more days in succession. And I am fast becoming of the opinion that it is no less risky for the nerves of the pianist. But I have found through careful experience that alternating even the most difficult vocal programs with the most difficult instrumental programs is not only feasible but exceedingly pleasant on successive days. But here is the rub! When the time comes to play the local manager wants you to sing and on the contrary when you plan a fine vocal program you are prevailed upon to play. I do believe, however, that the final decision as to what or what should not become a part of the program should rest with the artist; otherwise, the practice or permitting the general public to direct the course of artistic progress will prevail and this is no more proper or more logical in art than it is in education where boards of education determine the requisite curricula to develop a curricula to develop a definite standard of mental efficiency. "Mixed" programs consisting of instrumental and vocal music mean very little to musical progress when performed by one individual, for it takes nearly a whole recital to "warm" the voice and it requires almost as long to "warm" the fingers. Then, too, neither a singer or an instrumentalist reaps the full-benefit of the invaluable development which each individual concert brings unless a program is performed in its entirety. I, therefore steer pretty clear of "mixed" programs with the exeption of the Sunday afternoon recital when the departure from the customary form of recital may be dispensed with. Decatur furnished me such an opportunity. It is looked upon by its residents as a very unmusical town. But I was told that the audience which assembled to hear me was the largest in the musical history of the town. So it there had been nothing more accomplished by my visit I would feel greatly repaid for having returned to the town from which emanated Pitcher Sykes of the celebrated Hildale baseball team of some years back. The next stop brought us to the windy town of Holly Springs, Mississippi, where a large audience assembled in the capacious new auditorium of the Mississippi Industrial College with the co-operation of Rust College. And one of the peoplet little school or chests I have ever heard contributed a few numbers to the program by way of assistance! The following evening I appeared at Lane College, Jackson, Tennessee, and was mighty proud to have as my companion Professor Berry, a product of Walden College, Nashville, a musician who should be better known. On my first transcontinental tour I had a similar pleasure when Professor or Berry accompanied me, at Walden University (then it was), in the performance of the A Minor Concerto of Robert Schumann, but then I was a pianist and not a baritone, says—Your Musician.

ARROW HIGHWAY STRETCH OPEN Workmen have just completed paving of the new Arrow highway through Fontana, according to the State Highway Commission, and the road will shortly be open from that community to San Bernardino. The road is now open from Fontana east to Rialto, and west as far as Claremont, a smooth macadam thoroughfare, twenty feet wide. With the early completion of the San Bernardino stretch, relief will be accorded motorists from Foothill boulevard, which is now undergoing extensive improvements through Fontana to San Bernardino. The Arrow highway later is to be extended in a more direct route to Los Angeles, which will result in the reduction of six or seven miles from the present routes. Work on Foothill boulevard consists of resurfacing with asphaltic concrete and the extension of width from 18 to 30 feet. The improvement will cost approximately $250,000 and is to be completed at an early date. PETER H. Enlarged to include more than 600 square miles of the most beautiful country of the California irans, Sequila National Park takes rank today as one of the foremost of the twelve greatest national playgrounds of the West. The highest mountain in the United States, Whitney, stands sentinel on its eastern border. The thousands of enormous sequoias that make up the Giant Forest on that magnificent divide between the Maple Fork and main Kewesh comprise a forest whose nobility cannot be approached by any other in the world. Surviving witnesses of years that go back to the dawn of record history, the giant sequoias are beyond dispute the most impressive living things in nature. And in countless lakes and streams, in Sierra meadows starred with flowers, in rugged peaks of naked Sierra granite, Sequila National Park is rich beyond any computation less exalt than that of many seasons of patient exploration. It is the lasting good fortune of Southern California motorists that this natural playground has been set aside forever, and made accessible by good roads in eight bourst drive from Los Angeles. More than 100,000 people entered its borders during the season just closed, but this is only a beginning for though Sequoia belongs especially to Southern California, it is a national playground that as the years go by will more and more draw visitors from the entire nation. Last of the national parks of the West to be visited on its "great circle" tour, the National Park Chevrolet recently entered Sequoia. East from Visalia, across the level floor of the San Joaquin Valley, the Chevrolet rolled through Lemon Cove into Kawaeh Canyon, past Three Rivers to Ash Mountain, where the park headquarters are located, on the western boundary of the park. Certainly no other national park can boast of such contrasts as Sequoia can present. From the "Elfin Forest" of California chapparel on the Kawaeh toothfill at Ash Mountain, Col. John R. White, superintendent of Sequoia, can look to the Sequoia sentinels of the "giant forest" that peer down from the Sierra ridges far above. Fig trees flourish in the gardens at Ash Mountain, and a few miles down the Kawaeh at Three Rivers are splendid orange groves. Yet from the porch at headquarters in the winter season, Colonel White can turn a huge navy glass on a snow gauge on the summit of Alta Peak and read a snow depth of perhaps ten or fifteen feet in that lofty Alpine world. THINGS to be thankful for: No matter how bad your crdeit may be, you can nearly always have a battery charged.

The revenue derived from the gas tax in this state during 1927 again will be more by a great majority than that of any other state, the figures also indicate. That California is the leading state for touring is apparent in the totals reported for the first six months of 1927. Revenue from the two-cent gasoline tax which was in effect during that period amounted to $9,025,934. This was nearly $1,500,000 more than the income of Ohio, which was second highest among the states through the levy of a three-cent tax. Good roads enthusiasts in this state are confident that at least an amount equal to the revenue of the first six months will be collected from two cents of the tax during the latter half of the year. With gasoline consumers also paying a third cent per gallon during the last half of 1927, the total sum available for road work will be increased another $4,500,000 or more. The steady gain in the gas tax income will also inflate this sum to a degree, so that a total of at least $23,000,000 is expected from the total gas tax this year. This substantial revenue will be used by the state for highway building, maintenance and repair. Under the law the total derived from two cents of the tax must be used for upkeep of state and county highways, while the third cent goes into new construction of roads in the state system. Pennsylvania, levying two cents per gallon, had the third largest gas tax income which totaled over $6,000,000 during the first six months of this year.
