PASTOR COMMITS SUICIDE VOLUME 41 PAS Despondency Believed Cause Of Preacher's Desire To Die OXNARD, April 23. While his family were practicing hymns in the local Negro Baptist mission, Rev. John William Prowell, well-known local colored pastor, ended his life at his home last night by placing the barrel of a rifle in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Officer McCoy of the local police department heard the fatal shot, and found the preacher's body on the floor when he entered the room. Mr. Prowell had been subject to periodical despondency and it is believed that it was while under the influence of one of the attacks that he committed suicide. Four years ago his soul was killed in an automobile accident. The minister was deeply touched at the time and had since been in a state of depression. 1 He suffered a broken leg in an automobile accident about three years ago from which he had never recovered. The suffering caused by the pain of this leg had preyed on him, his friends said. A few weeks ago he had slipped on a banana peeling, and as he caught at the pickets of a fence to save himself, painfully sprained his knee, he opened the picket him in bed, and he feared that he would be a cripple for the rest of his life. JUDGE SCORES CAROLINA WHITES (Bv: A. N. P.) Georgetown, S. C., April 23.—The responsibility of the present crime wave, which is sweeping the state, was fixed on the white people by Judge C. C. Featherstone in his charge to the grand jury at the opening of the spring court which opened Monday morning. The judge pointed out that white criminals were in the majority and in most cases where Negroes were hailed into court for breaking the prohibition law, they were simply the tools of some white men who were allowed to remain at liberty. 19th ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE N.

REYNOLDS ENTER TAINED BY CO-WORKERS A very beautiful scene was created at Engine Company 30, Truck 11, of the Los Angeles Fire Department, located at 14th and Central Avenue on last Tuesday evening, when the firemen of that division turned out as a whole along with many invited guests to do honor to one of their number, who had risked his life to save others on an occasion not so long ago, and paid, as a sacrifice for that risk, with the loss of his leg—J. D. REYNOLDS. The atmosphere was finged with real, earnest desire to reward merit, yes, a real hero. Even the 3-piece Hawaiian orchestra seemed to have caught the inspiration as the players touched the chords that vibrated in the ear of those present a song of triumph over fear, of triumph over suffering, and the ultimate gaining of joy and homage through it all. It was inleaded a proud and happy occasion for Johnnie Reynolds as Capt. W. E. Hall of Engine Company 30, acting as Master of Ceremonies, introduced Fire Chief Scott, who in turn spoke in loud terms of praise of the valor and efficiency of this division of the Fire Department, and of the particular pleasure it gave him to do honor on this occasion to one of the calibre of the honored guest, and in so saying he pined upon the left breast of J. D. Reynolds, a gold diamond-studded Fireman's badge (retired) with the appreciation by the city of Los Angeles of the valiant service rendered by Johnny during his years of active firefighting. A loud round of cheer burst forth as Reynolds in his bashtfulness and overwhelming joy explained that he was taker but would say, as he had heard his dear mother say on many occasions, "I'm a thousand times obliged." There were about sixty persons present and among those who spoke at intervals between the music and the lovely repast served were: Mrs. C. A. Bass, Managing Editor of the California Eagle; Rev. B. A. Jordon, representing the Ministers' Alliance; Mrs. A. C. Richardson, representing the J. A. A. C. P.; Mrs. M. G. Patton, a teacher in the public schools; Chief Moore of the Fire Department; Dr. E. W. Young, representing the Phys-Art-Lit-Mor Club; Capt. Wm. Glenn (retired); and Mr. Smith of Smith & Williams, Undertakers. Admits Murder Committed Six Years Ago (By: A. N. P.) Van Buren, Ark. Apr. 24.—The confession of Claude Washington that he killed Berry, Degraftenried, cleared up a murder that has remained a mystery for six years. Washington was arrested a few days ago in Pittsburg, Kansas, on another charge and admitted that he had committed the murder here six years ago. Degraftenried was shot while returning to his home and no trace of the murderer was found. Chief Deputy sheriff Sot Mariar left Monday night for the prisoner. MINSTREL, MON Our stay in the Windy City was uneventful. We stopped at the pretentious Vincennes Hotel and must give credit to the management for the very courteous and modern service rendered its patrons. The house is kept up to the minute. We paid our respects to the Defender; to the A. N. P., under the able guidance of Claude Barnett, Mr. Pratis was in charge at the time we put in our appearance. We also visited the old war horse and financial wizard in the persons of Mr. George Cowan and swapped reminiscences of by gone days. A searching effort failed us in locating our old time friend, Col. Roscoe Simmons. "MAKER OF FAMOUS FULTO" A pleasing visit was our journey to the home of the famous "Fulto" Beauty Specialist Goods, located at 4808 Prairie Ave. We found here a modern and up to date establishment which is indeed a high credit to not only the entire country, but to its owner, Mrs. E. G. Fulton, as well. We find Mrs. Fulton to be a real genius and a bundle of energy, business is her watchword and the very best product is her ambition, with the great "Fulto Products" as put forth by this amiable and thorough business going personage, there is not but success in her path. We are further indebted to the pleasure of our stay with a drive over the principal boulevards and up as far as Evanston by Mr. and Mrs. Clark of Champlain Avenue. The Clarks are among the foremost citizens who are quietly accomplishing things. We next visited the office of Chicago's mighty weekly, "The Whip", editor Bibb at the helm. We were much pleased at the remarkable progress of this great journal, each line of type appearing therein is the genius of the black boy or girl. The Whip is now getting up all its matter in its own shop and on its own machinery and is therefore deserving of the highest credit for it not only speaks on the race it acts for it and demonstrates to the highest degree. Editor Bibb received your editor very cordially, showed us over the plant and finally landed us at the LaSalle St. Station, where we boarded the far famed Golden State for Kansas City.

Washington Rhodes, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, was the guest of "Who's Who in Colored America" on the twelfth hour of broadcasting devoted to Negro achievement over Station W. A. B. C., Thursday evening. The Philadelphia editor and attorney spoke on "Negro Newspapers." Tracing the history of the Negro newspaper in America through the hundred years of existence, Mr. Rhodes pointed out the various periods through which it had passed and the progress that had been made. Mr. Rhodes has been editor of the Philadelphia Tribune since 1922, is a member of the board of directors of the Citizens and Southern Trust Company and in 1926 was appointed assistant United States District Attorney of Eastern Pennsylvania, being the first Negro to hold such a position.

EMINENT MINISTER BURIED, TUESDAY The funeral of Dr. J. Madison Young was held Tuesday, April 24th from the Second Baptist Church. A large crowd of friends had gathered to pay their last respects to this wonderful man of God. The services were very fitting and will be long remembered by those present. Dr. Young was born in North Carolina in 1805 and died at Los Angeles, Thursday, April 19, 1928. He was a well educated man; had served as pastor of well known churches, and dean and president of various seminaries and colleges, resigning as president of the Oklahoma Baptist College in 1922 to come to Los Angeles. Soon after his arrival, he organized the West Coast Theological Seminary of which he was dean at the time of his death. He leaves a wife, one daughter, four sons, four daughter in laws, 1 son in law, and grandchildren. PHILHARMONIC The new City Hall of Los Angeles opened its doors Thursday, April 25th to the public—and with the opening of this, one of the largest and most beautiful of City Halls in the United States, our city takes another advanced step up the ladder of fame.

N. P.) Chicago, Ill., Apr. 24.—John Overton, age 35, was shot and killed while being initiated into the Onward Christian olders, a local graternal organization, here Sunday night. According to members who were induced by the police at the Wabash Avenue Police Station to break their oath, declared that it was part of the initiation to blindfold the candidate and click the trigger of an unloaded revolver over his heart. While the initiation was on Leonidas McDonald, president of the lodge, handed a revolver to Albert Clark and told him to click the gun, as it had been clicked several times before in the exercises. Clark took the gun, pressed it to Overton's breast, and pulled the trigger, and instead of a click there, was a report and Overton sank to the floor mortally wounded. AUDITORIUM. BIG What Municipal Airports Wil Mean to L. A. Are you awake to the immediate needs of Los Angeles? Do you realize that Los Angeles can become the greatest center of aviation and aviation industry in the United States? The establishment of Municipal airports in Los Angeles will mean additional revenue not only to the city as a whole, but to each individual interested in aviation or who will receive employment in the hundreds of auxiliary industries that will be drawn into Los Angeles when adequate airport facilities are established. On May 1st a separate ballot will be handed to the voters asking them their decision on the proposition to acquire airport facilities for the City or Los Angeles. The result of this issue will be to be put Los Angeles in a position to avail herself of the phenomenal opportunity to anchor the greatest expansion of Commerce and industry for the welfare of the city that has come to her in many years. The Airport Bond Issue is not a sectional question but instead has to do with the future prosperity of Los Angeles. With airports assured there will be a great call for skilled and unskilled labor. If it were thinkable that the voters of Los Angeles would reject this opportunity, what would it mean to this great city? The city would unquestionably suffer in reputation as a progressive city. Even this might be borne, but the most serious consequences would be the keeping away of very important industries that are directly dependent on the provision of adequate airport facilities. The vast benefits that their establishment here would bring to our citizens unlimited sources of commercial and industrial revenue. Already our city has had a taste of disappointment due to lack of airport facilities, for two airplane manufacturers have given up their locations here. On the other hand, the Chamber of Commerce reports that some large concerns are planning to open up here if the city provides proper airport facilities. It is certain that revenue would be coming into the city immediately on the opening of the Municipal Airport. WHAT IS THIS BOND ISSUE? Mayor Craver's action in signing the ordinance authorizing the special election on May 1st puts the opportunity of acquiring airports up to the people. The individual home-owner and taxpayer is interested in what it is going to cost. WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT ON THE BONDING CAPACITY OF LOS ANGELES? The City Attorney has ruled and advised the City Counsel that bonds voted for municipal airport use will come under the classification of revenue-producing bonds. That is to say that this bond issue has a revenue feature. Airports are a municipal investment and are made not only to pay for themselves but also to pay a revenue into the city. The City Attorney goes further to say that the revenue bonding capacity will still have a balance of over $91,000,000 left after the issue of $6,000,000 for airport bonds. The revenue-producing feature of an airport is illustrated to the people or Los Angeles by Oakland. This city less than eight months ago established an airport. This airport is now already paying 6 per cent on its investment. Oakland offers an excellent example or what can be done with a Municipal Airport. The following are the temporary charges, tolls and rates for services rendered by the Port Department at On Sunday, April 15th, the Daughter Elks, beautifully gowned in dresses of white with purple ribbon badges and sashes, presented a pleasing picture in parade when they marched from Masonic Hall at 12th and Central to Phillips Temple at 42nd and Wadsworth. The procession was lead by the Drill Corps of Golden West Lodge No. 86, with the infinitable Capt. Bratton in the fore. The program consisted in numbers from Phillips Temple Choir; a very timely sermon by Rev. S. M. Beane; history of the Order by Mrs. Eliza Warner; solo, Mrs. Cruezot; selection, Golden West Band; reading, Mrs. Elia Jackson; solo, Mrs. Muriel Tyler; the presentation of officers, past officers and Mrs. Anna Hicks, mother of Golden West Lodge whose advent upon the rostrum brought forth a hearty hand. Edward Glass, who, it is alleged shot, and killed a member of a lynching party in Sapulpa, Okla, some years ago and escaped the mob by coming to Oakland, California, has been extradited and must go to trial in the Oklahoma courts.—"Peace to his ashes". It is alleged that "Bilo", who thrilled Los Angeles theatre goers for a period of six months, is playing a real jail scene in one of New York City's jails where he has been lodged on a bigamy charge. We are glad to note that the executive committee of the Association of General Secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.'s of North America refused to go to Toronto, Canada in its biennial convention because the Prince Edward Hotel of that city refused equal accommodations to white and colored secretaries. The meeting place will be Pocono, Manor, Pa. The mid nite show at the Lincoln Wednesday will see five different orchestras in action on the same program. Johnny Spikes and his Chocolate Harmony Queens, one of the five, are planning on putting over a few fast ones. READ CAREFULLY In reply to the many people, asking if the Inter-denominational Ministers Alliance has endorsed the $50,000 Drive by the King's Daughters and Sons to build a home for Colored windows, widowers and retired missionaries, I wish to say no, we have not endorsed it.

That the gasoline station of the Vernon Refinery Co. on Central Ave. between eighth and ninth st is still standing is not due to any fault of its own. Providence played a prominent part and when the little laundry office lady whelled in the premises in her uncontrollable Chevy Coupe at the slow speed of 40 miles an hour. Chickins, dogs, cats to say nothing of the two attendants flew in all directions for safety, last Thursday afternoon, providence and nothing else twisted the steering control out of the scared to death lady's hands and instead demolishing the entire premises it took a sudden turn slapped down an innocent Buick Coupe standing by and butted head on into a two story building, shaking the whole foundation to such an extent that the tennements therein rushed out thinking it an earth quake. After 6 hrs. of strenuous work by the wrecking crew things were normal again and the Green Chevy Coupe along with its sweet looking pilot was none its worse off for their experience. Take pretty Miss Alma Clemmons advice if you don't know traffic rules and regulations, you better keep away from 9th and Central district and save looking Judge Soakyou in the face. The law at this point knows no race, sex, creed or nation. Oh no we don't to say, the law in this vicinity If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA Intoxicated drivers are running afoul of the law in noticeable numbers, it is indicated in reports from the state division of motor vehicles reaching the Automobile Club of Southern California. Driving licenses were taken away from eighty persons arrested for driving while intoxicated during the first three months of 1928, and traffic officers have received orders to redouble their vigilance for this type of motoring criminal. The officers will take no chances with persons who have obviously been drinking heavily, and such persons are not to be allowed to continue to drive while in such condition. More than half of the license recocations for the three month's period resulted from driving while drunk. In March, forty-nine persons lost their right to drive for one year. Of this number, thirty-one were revoked on the charge of intoxicated driving, it is stated. Pedestrians know that they are safe from the motorist driving a brand new car. The motorist doesn't care to dent bis fenders the first thousand miles or so. If having found a parking place Your car you can insert with grace. Taking of room the least you need.

We were invited along with some 50 others to a dinner so the Chamber of Commerce by a very prominent person and friend, last Monday night. Following dinner, Titus Alexander appeared upon the scene as master of ceremonies, and introduced various ones who were asked to express their views which many did in no uncertains terms. Those present verbally approved the bonds with a rider or two attached. Attorney Dardin is now a Studebaker owner as he has a coupe. Dr. Albert Williams and family have had their Hup layed up as their youngest baby boy has the mumps. Once again we see and read about Ace Foreman. This time we learn he has opened an aviation school.

Given equal opportunity there are few if any who would excel him. New Fuel Said to Cut Cost in Half A new motor fuel and alcohol mixture, has been invented in Warsaw, Poland. The liquid, which is made from ordinary alcohol of 82 to 94 proof is said to give an easier start, smoother motion and saves from 30 to 55 percent of the fuel consumption as compared with benzine. CAL. TOURISTS HEAD NO NATION IN TOUR- ING PARKS Although having four national parks within its own boundary, California sends more auto parties to parks in outside states than any other state except that in which the park is located. Reports of superintendents of ten of the national parks in the West indicate that California cars led all other states in point of unmbers in at least five of the national playgrounds, and they were second in four other states in point of numbers in Automobile Club or Southern California has compiled figures showing that 189,636 autos bearing California license entered the ten Western parks last year. Averaging three passengers to a car, which is slightly under the count made in the national park check it is shown that 568,908 persons from California visited their own and the national parks in adjacent states. While most of the national parks are patronized generously by residents of the state in which the park is located, in one instance a neighboring states provides the largest number of visitors. This is shown in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, where during 1927 there were 7859 California cars. Although the Grand Canyon is in Arizona, this state ranked second in number of visitors with 5127 cars. California ranked first among the tourist also in the Sequoia, Yosemite, General Grant and Mt. Lessen parks all of which are within the borders of the Golden State. But the Californians did not hesitate to travel far to see the nation's playgrounds in other parts of the country, it's indicated in the reports. These show that 'Californians furnished the second largest number of cars in Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and Montana, in Zion National Park in Washington and the Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Intoxicated Drivers Are Punished By: Oscar H. Fernbach But seek to park along the curb. Not knowing how, and you disturb o Reduction in Tire Prices For Months To Come Tire prices cannot be expected to drop as a result of the removal of the British crude rubber restriction for several months, according to a statement made by Harvey S. Firestone, president of Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Manufacturers must carry a four months supply of rubber on hand or in transit and this means that tires made during the next four months will be higher priced rubber, which fact, coupled with that of large stocks having been built up during the winter in anticipation of spring buying, will keep tire prices at present levels for some time to come. PIN THIS IN YOUR HAT Ten starling reminders for motorist of their individual responsibility in driving were recently broadcast throughout Pennsylvania by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. In a copy reaching the Automobile Club of Southern California the sukkestions were quoted as follows: "Good intentions are a treacherous substitute for good brakes. "The horn that is defective may yet prove very effective in plunging its owner into trouble. "Beneath the skin the man who neglects his steering gear is blood brother to the bridge jumper. "There are many brands of danger but only one kind of safety. "A dark tail light is no protection against the car thundering along in the rear. "Danger wings with lighting speed for him who puts his trust in greed. "All any bad brake asks is an opportunity to show what it can not do in a critical situation. "It's a poor time to think of brake inspection when one is within ten feet of eternity. "Hard luck takes many wallop that belongs to faulty judgment. "The nearest American approach to the French guillotine is the exposed edge of a broken window or windshiel glass." Porters' Union Forms Strike Committee Porters' Union Forms Strike Committee It was announced by A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, at the Chicago Division Headquarters, that a national Strike Committee was being formed. The purpose of this committee, according to Randolph, is to formulate and work out the strategy for conducting the strike when the time comes. Randolph, who is now covering the western and mid-western regional zones of the Brotherhood, points out that the porters are responding rapidly to the strike vote and that he expects that, practically all the returns will be in, in the next fifteen days. Non-members, according to the General Organizer, are signing ballots along with the members. Efforts of the Pullman Company to get Randolph to resign, upon the promise that it will recognize the Brotherhood and sign an agreement with it, results in provoking a nation-wide protest among the porters against the General Organizer, Randolph, getting out, and has stimulated the spirit and morale of the porters to fight on a finish, over one hundred per cent White Road Man Held For Negro's Murder Winfield, La., Apr. 20—Jesse Kennedy, a white road contractor on the Atlanta - Montgomery highway, has been lodged in jail charged with the murder of A.B. Williams, at the road camp near Wheelen. It is alleged that Kennedy killed the victim March 16 and carried the body several miles away into Grant Parish were it was found in a ditch.

You have bluffed so long that you feel that you can go ahead with assurance on any certain problem that interests you and get away with it. You only because you feel that you have not the time to give sufficient attention to that certain proposition. And why should you hurry? And why should you hurry? You need not fear that any one can present what you have in mind. You have succeeded in making yourself think you are exceptional. If you are convinced of your invin- self. If this, it is convinced of your invic- nibility you are due for a severe jail. If you have something in mind which up to this time has not been produced, you had better get busy on it. A superior thought may present something so much better that your idea becomes worthless. Don't bluff yourself longer with the idea that you are so extraordinary, for self-contentment is expensive. Food For Thought Do not doubt your road, even if others jeer at your staggering efforts, keep on even though you stagger and be gentle to those who also stagger on their road. We have all lost the road but some day when we are a little stronger and wiser we will find our way home.

He replied that there is not but a couple over here like Mrs. N. B. Simmons on the Chief. (She is a No.1 maid). Mr. C. L.

Railroad Refuses Negro Banker Berth; He Sues (By: A. N. P.) Louisville, Ky., Apr. 23—The Illinois Central will be made defendant in a suit to be filed this week by Wilson Levett, president First Standard Trust & Savings Company of this city, and A. P. Bentley, vice-president of the Supreme Life Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio. These two business leaders were the victims of gross discrimination inflicted upon them by conductor Joseph Nelson of the Illinois Central Railroad who three weeks ago refused to permit them to occupy a Pullman from Memphis to Louisville and addressed them insultingly. The N. A. A. C. P. recognizing the case as of extreme importance, has joined hands with Mr. Levett and will assist in defraying the expense of the suit in an effort to strike a blow at the Jim Crow practices of railroads in this section. this sees Messrs Levett and Bently took a sleeper over the Illinois Central to Memphis. When they sought to return, however, having purchased their accommodations, conductor Nelson refused to permit them to enter the Pullman after, demanding to know their nationality. E. W. Sprake, General Claim Agent for the Illinois Central at Memphis, and the superintendent at Memphis, both refused redress. The suit will be filed by Burke and Lawton, two of the ablest lawyers in Lonlaville. President Levett has an- BOARDING SCHOOL FOR COLORED STUDENTS THE MUSEUM VALLEJO INSTITUTE, VALLEJQ, CALIF.

EAGLE-You May Never Know It Happened RANDOLPH REPLIES TO VANN BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEPING CAR PORTERS, CHICAGO DIVISION, HEAQUARTERS, 224 EAST, PERSHING ROAD, CHICAGO, ILL. In an Open Letter to the Pullman porters and maids by Mr. Robert L. Van, carried in the Pittsburgh Courier, of April 14th, he says that there must be some reason why the Pullman Company, for almost two years, has refused to negotiate with the porter lead by Mr. Randolph. Of course there is a reason. It's plain and Simple. The reason is that the Pullman Company is not going to deal with the porters and maids lead by Randolph, or anybody else, until it is compelled to deal with them. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of American labor history knows this. This is nothing strange and it requires no need to see it. This procedure is adopted by all employers with their employees when their employees seek to organize, and this procedure is adopted without regard to race or color, relation or abilities. Mr. O. H. Wharton, President of the International Machinist Union, just a week ago, wrote me that the shop crafts workers are having the very same trouble with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Charls are having the very same trouble with the Texas and Southern Pacific Railroad Company. So there is no good reason why anyone should get excited over the fact that this fight has taken over two years. The Pullman conductors, who are already organized, have been fighting over two years for a wage increase and just got it. There are railroad unions that have fought over ten years before they were able to meet a single representative of this company. Mr. Vann states further that friends have talked with me, including himself, telling me that the company objects to dealing with me because of my history in this country as a Socialist and a Radical. In the first place, nobody has ever made this statement to me except in Vann. What friends he has in mind I don't know. In the second place, what is the reason for this sudden alarm by Vann over my being a Socialist? He says that American capital has refused to deal with socialists and socialistic organizations in this country. Of course this is not true, but granting that it is. Did he know this when he began supporting the Brotherhood two years ago? If so, why didn't he, in the interest of the potters and malds, expose this dangerous nightmare then? Why did he support the Brotherhood for two years lead by a Socialist, when, as he now says, American capital has refused to deal with such organizations? There is a certain colored gentleman in the wood pile somewhere, and the Brotherhood will smoke him out before this fight is over. Now, Mr. Vain admits that he knew that I was a Socialist two years ago, for he says I have a history as a socialist and a radical and that Owen and myself bragged about it. Obviously, either Mr. Vain must plead guilty to having mislead the porters for two years into believing that they could win, even when lead by a socialist and a radical, or that this ELEVENTH HOUR discovery that the Pullman Company would not deal with the porters under my leadership is not his discovery, though he pretends that it is. Which. Mrs. H. H. S. Hpuston G. W. M. or O. E. S. spent a few days at home and reported a wonderful trip to Los Angeles. She left Friday for San Francisco to be the guest of the Northern Chapters. On the sick list this week are Mrs. S. D. Richardson, Mrs. Mamie Butler, and Mr. H. Pinkney. The N. A. A. C. P. Baby Contest will close at Winters Hall, April 30th. All the committee are working hard to make it a grand success. The Third Reciprocity meeting of the Central Session will convene in Fresno, April 20th, at Second Baptist Church. The Fresno ladies are planning a great program. ever condition obtains, it disqualifies him from assuming the role or an adviser to the porters and maids as to any kind of leadership. His own statement infidicts himself of being guilty of either bad judgment or insincerity, either one of which renders him untrustworthy. He says further that it is known on good authority that the Pullman Company will deal with the porters and maids if I step aside, What GOOD AUTHORITY IS this? I have seen no evidence or any such alleged good authority. We have only Mr. Vann's word for it, which recent developments cause us to question. What reason has the Brotherhood to assume that Mr. Vann's statement is borne fide. How do I know that he represents the Pullman Company? Assuming that the Company has told Vann that it will deal with the porters if I resign, what reason have we for believing that the Company would keep its word. What is there to compell it to do so? Absolutely nothing. Furthermore, Mr. Vann says that the Porters are licked, then why would the Company deal with them under anybody's leadership if they are licked? The Pullman Company is not dumb enough to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over two or more years trying to beat the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and then turn around and recognize and sign an agreement with it if it has succeeded in beating the Brotherhood which it started out to do. The Company wants the Employee Representation Plan, not the Brotherhood. Therefore, if it can lick the Brotherhood, it will be able to force the plan upon the porters and maids and common sense would tell anybody that it would not deal with the Brotherhood after it is licked merely requiring that there be a change in the leadership. The idea is preposterous and absurd. Mr. Vann ought to know better, and perhaps he does. Again he says I ought to resign and call the bluff of the Pullman Company, whatever that means. Continuing, he says, if the company does not make good after it get out of the picture, then I could come back and fight on to a glorious victory. This is perfectly childish and questionable. If he knows that the Company will sign an agreement with the Brotherhood if I resign, why the necessity of my calling their bluff? I thought he was spagging on good authority. And if the porters are licked now, as he says they are, how nonsensical it would be for me to resign to call the Pullman's bluff with the hope of coming back to fight for victory after the company had strengthened its forces and weakened the Brotherhood's. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company would consent to a conference were I to resign, nor is there any assurance that it would sign an agreement with the Brotherhood, even after a conference was arranged. As to the matter of capital not dealing with socialists, the wish is probably farther to the thought. For Mr. Vann's information, may I say that James H. Maurer, the president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor is a Socialist, Mr. Johnson, former president of the International Machinist Union for over twenty years, is a socialist. Morris Hillquit, leader of American socialists, negotiates contracts for the Needles Trades Unions with the biggest clothing manufacturers of America. Moreover, the Brotherhood is a labor organization, not a political organization. Come to the Flower Show given by Mrs. A. C. Bibrow and Mrs. Cornellia Walker for the Iroquois Friday Morning Club.

V. SURREY. Two Big Dances May 30th, Washington and Central, 3 to 7 and 8 to 7 CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY WITH STAG PARTY On last Saturday evening, a few of the very close friends or Mr. Edgar L. Dorssey were bidden to attend a little stag party to be given at his residence on East 29th street. None bidden seemed to know the reason for the gathering, and for that matter, probably never gave it a thought. The guests who numbered about fifteen, entertained themselves through the evening at whist and story telling until 11:00 o'clock when a most sumptuous repast was served. Freshments were served at regular intervals during the evening which attested to the host's ability to tickle and please the palate. After the serving of the repast the guests seemed ready with one accord to depart and seemingly, with one thought, desired to know the cause and motive of the occasion, wherowon they were informed that it was Mr. Dorsey's birthday; the particular year was told, but not knowing whether the gentleman in question wants it to be public, it must at this time be kept from print. Regardless of the lateness of the hour, there were many threats of taking the gentleman out on the lawn and giving him a taste of regular old-time birthday tactics. His protests were vigorous and sympathy persuaded the guests to give him "a chance." All upon leaving testified to having spent a most pleasant evening. I'll be there, with bells, Matinee and Nite, Washington and Central, May 30th.

AIRPORTS BOOMED Tuesday evening the St. Paul Baptist Social Hall was crowded to capacity. Negro men and women with certain faces came seeking for more knowledge about a subject, somewhat new: Airports for Los Angeles. Mrs. Hubert, chairman of the meeting, opened the question. She introduced as speakers, Dr. Hudson, president of the N. A. A. C. P., local branch and Mr. Guernsey Fraser, chairman on the Board of Airports. The speeches of the two men were full of information on the subject. The attitude expressed by Dr. Hudson was that the Negro is as vitally interested in Los Angeles as any other citizen, that it is his city, and anything that would boost the city, he is willing to boost, was heartily affirmed by all. Mrs. G. A. Bass was called, quite unexpectedly by the chairman, and became at once an enthusiastic booster. The meeting was closed by Dr. H. D. Prowl, who told a beautiful story of how Mr. Fraser had gone out of his way to see to it that Ace Foreman, a struggling young Negro aviator, was given a chance and has since succeeded.

An informal recital presenting three young women, all under twenty-three was the surprise of the year for the writer. Melba Frances Allen, a young colored girl is due to give our jaded concert audiences a new thrill. Her Dobuunjii Rhapsoy in C Major and Liszt's Eighth Rhapsoy were tremendous in rhythm and passion. Technical problems apparently do not exist for her. These young artists are so well equipped, well poised, in their musicianship and technic that their performance never seems to approach their limitations. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bryant, 1257 W. 35th St. as the guests of Councilman Virgil Martin, occupied seats in the reviewing stand where they witnessed the Big Parade on the occasion of the opening of the new City Hall, Thursday.

Among the most outstanding reports of the State Officers was that of Mrs. F. E. Bramlett, Supt. of Citizenship and Legislation, and also acting for the Juvenile Chairman. Through the Missionary Women of the Presbyterian Church of which Mrs. E. A. Johnson and Mrs. F. E. Bramlett are members, a most worthy girl was contacted. The club women immediately got busy. This girl has no home or parents and is in charge of the county. Her highest ambition is to become a great musician. The county was seeking someone to help her in this, so the women have taken it up on themselves to see that she is started on this musical career. Mrs. Lauretta Butler, Supt. of Music will start her off with one lesson a week free or charge. The county will pay her fare into Los Angeles to her lessons. This girl has the record of having the highest mentality of all the 250 girls in the School, being president of the student body, and the only race girl in the school. The club women are hoping someone will open its doors to this worthy girl. She is really not a ward of the county, but she has no other place to stay. The Board also voted to take part in the parade dedicating the new City Hall, April 26th. So the Reciprocity meeting will be held Thursday, May 3rd at Monday Club House, Venice. The Presidents' Council met at the home of Mrs. Anna Mabry on E. 5nd Place last Sunday. Planning for the yearly institute was the main business. Dr. P.

HU. 3703-J PETER The Young People's Fellowship meet Sunday, April 15 at the Parish Hall, with a very good attendance. Mr. Jefferson Brown, speaker of the afternoon, chose this subtitle, "WHILE sale Education" which was exceedingly interesting. The discussion which followed was very lively, both sexes taking active part in it. Many points were brought out by those in the audience which certainly gave food for thought. Miss Bessie Hosmon rendered a delightful instrumental which was well received. A couple of weeks ago Ye Editor attended the showing of "Dust of the Earth" at the Beth Eden Baptist Church. We had gone their thinking of listening to actors and actresses who would either bore us to tears or cause us to seek the "land of Nod", but we were agreeably surprised. Not only was the acting of the principals superb, but all minor parts were played with a dash and a finish seen mostly in stock companies. Miss Lena Wilson, who played the leading part, gave to her character pathos as well as little bits of comedy. The rest of the cast, the Misses Misee Emily, Marjon Barges, Eloise Simpson, Mrs. Margurite Boston and Messrs. Herbert Ward C. J. Stafford, Nathaniel Smith, Freddy Baker and Layman Lee were splendid in their parts and made "Dust of the Earth" indeed worth while and splendid entertainment. May 30th promises to be a red letter day at Jefferson High School. A track meet will be held on the Jefferson field on that day under the banner of the Black American Association Such track men as Woodyard, Dade, West, Ed, Shaw, Chas, Martin and Cook are listed. There will be open events for girls which no doubt will be very interesting. Everyone keep that date open. The Little Theatre Movement is attracting the attention and interest of the younger set of Los Angeles. It's first play "Black Alkall" will have its cast such notables as Mrs. Frene Forsyth, Gladys Mathonican, Mrs. L. P. Grant, Angelique DeLavallade, La Vera White, Thelma Overton, Messrs. Edwin Jefferson, Carl Gross, Charlie Martin, ismael Flory, Vernon McCala, and others. Direction by Mr. Webb King. Miss Yolanda Colomb will entertain friends at her home next Sunday afternoon with a "Variet-Tea." The Tuxedo Club entertained with a formal dance at 15th and Main Dance Acaremy last Thursday evening. A stair rug stretched from the street to the top of the stairs, banked on either side by baskets of flowers. More flowers greeted one on entering the hall, while a huge ball suspended from the ceiling made of many colored bits or glass, threw its reflection to the four corners of the hall. Upstairs two dainty little maids served delicious punch to the guests, while downstairs McKinneys Red Hot Band played red hot jazz. An entertainer sang songs throughout the evening to the vast delight of the throng, and toward the close of the evening a photographer arrived to make a picture. Many beautiful gowns were to be seen, chief among which were a Paris gown of pink, beautifully beaded, worn by a very recent bride-Mr. Levy; a shawl or woven gold cloth by Miss Thelma Bentley; Mrs Stella Ross in gold lace Miss Mafalda Colomb in black velvet; Miss Gladys Mathionican in pink crepe de chine; Mrs Gladys Butler in pale pink with dainty slippers to match; Miss Gertrude Freeman in deep blue and scores of others too numerous to mention. Everyone, in company with Ye Editor, expressed themselves as having enjoyed a wonderful evening at the Tuxedo Club's annual aff. Certain up and coming young puglist, having very recently become owner of a car, picked up another very up and coming young man known in society circles as a beau brummel, and very courteously gave him a lift for a few blocks. This young puglist had just come from work with the morning's renumeration in his pocket which he believes to have slipped from his pocket and lodged in the seat of his car. After his passenger has alighted, ye puglist found that his money had disappeared, and he is quoted as saying if he can prove where the money went to, there will be one young fellow among the missing for a week or two. However, he can't prove it. We wonder if Maudine Simmons is still sporting that classy dimond ring she had sometime ago? And why she wears it on the left hand. Well, Well, we seen Walter Gregory, all down-hearted and blue, not so long ago, and it seems that he wasn't visiting on E. 20th any more.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Our services last Sunday were like the day—grand. In the morning the pastors sermon was unique, the subject being "How to Be Like a Tree." Text Psalm 1:3. "And he shall be like a tree." He said the text implied that it is a blessing to be like a tree. He showed many points in the life and growth of trees which conveyed helpless lessons. He said the trees from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. Prof. Nix at the close of the sermon sang "Like a tree planted by the waters, I shall not be moved." Also in the morning a solo was rendered by Miss Olive Green. In the afternoon, Rev. Frank James preached to the Missionary Society and in the evening Dr. M.D. Carter of Friendship church delivered for us a most helpful sermon. At the same time our pastor preached from his pulpit in Pasadena. Many visitors attended both services. See announcement of Next Sunday's services elsewhere on this page.

The Golden Rule Center 12671/2 East 25th Street, City ABSOLUTE TRUTH SEEKERS AND TEACHERS WANTED The time has come when there will be no permanent foundation to stand squarely in the presence of God the Good, the only Presence and only power except Knowing the Absolute Truth. Having a vision of the situation at this time while increased Knowledge of Science, Scripture, Philosophy and Religion is exploring the region of Life to help humanity solve their individual problems, not withstanding we have the two greatest Institutions or earth namely the Church and State or Government to teach and direct the affairs of mankind. Yet we are confronting the conflicting problems or the ages. As a servant and follower of Jesus Christ called to be an Evangelist seeking to do the work of an Evangelist and make full proof or the Ministry, Permit me to put in a plea for the Absolute Truth. I say Absolute because there is a lot of relative truth relating person place or thing and even related to God but is not enough to bring the perfect result required in the towns, cities, states, continent or the universe where mankind dwells. The absolute is that which is immutable—unchanging as God, the same --- yesterday today and forever. The Truth seeker must seek the absolute until he become partakers of the Whole Truth or Holy pirit of absolute Truth, which teaches us all things and brings all things to your remembrance. The reest and beat attitude for learning is receptivity and obedience and in order to bring the one, must put aside all preconceived mind to a state of emptiness to truth idea or prejudice that conflict with the absolute. The childlike attitude of humility and meekness can alone be led to the whole light of Truth. yet this humility must not turn to mortal beliefs, opinion nor deception of the races of mankind, but the indwelling spirit as its guide to immortal Life and Truth as Jesus Christ instructs. He the spirit of Truth shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, John 14.26. This is the Gospel of good news which reveals man divine and immortal nature giving him that knowledge which when put to practice will heal disease, restore peace to one self to God and man and establish true prosperity. The supreme power back of the universe. The great first Cause, Source, The Life given, God our Father is present here, there and everywhere in every thing in my heart your heart making our heart His Royal Throne If we desire more and more of His Life, that is creative, constructive, and manifesting so that we realize and know that we are living, moving, and have our Being in God. Jesus Christ said "I come to give you life and life more abundantly." The old idea that we must die and go to heaven (home) to God in order to see his face and walk the golden streets paved with gold and have the inner meaning of realization of Divine understanding here and now walking and living in the consciousness thereof. Absolute Truth is God all inclusive, Infinite intelligence, Substance and man is the expression of God, made in his image and likeness. Many claim that since the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden they have never returned to the original state nor none of us Listen Paul in Romans: 5.17, 18 tells us, "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift or righteousness shall reign in Life by one Jesus Christ." Man is still the perfect creation of God, expression and manifestation, Man's work is to know the source of his mind. T demonstrates the absolute Truth Hs work then is to demonstrate abundant life and overcome sin, sickness and all conflicting conditions of life. REV. CHAS. N. W.

Or, what is he take them a reattively short distance make the most of the day in the rest spirit which alone justify the Sabbath The Sabbath, once the day of rest, is now fast becoming known as the day of eternal rest. For more people now go to an untimely death on that day than any other day of the week. Mad motoring is responsible for this ghastly change. The Sabbath was made for man, to be sure, but not for the exercise to his uttermost folly. Yet as surely as Monday rolls around we have the gruesome front page news of the dead, the dying and the injured who have apparently gone mad over Sunday and have paid the price. This is not the full extent of the bad uses to which we are putting the Sabbath day, although they are the most spectacular. Add to this list the jangled nerves of many a good wife, the tired body of many a husband, the unnatural stimulation of many children of the families that rise early and start out on a quest of distance. Fast and furious driving is likely to mark such a trip, with many near accidents. The mind, body and soul undergoes almost every experience and emotion except those of rest and repose and recreation. Then the homeward journey and the sleep of exhaustion or, what is more likely, the sleeplessness of exhausted nerves. The pendulum swings from extreme to extreme. The deathlike silence and stupor of the Sabbath of the past is gone and probably gone forever. But the deathly clamor of our Twentieth Century Sabbath is equally impossible. Wise motorists avoid Sunday travel as much as possible, or seek by-ways and unfrequented places. Or, what is best of all, use the care to take them a reatively short distance to a spot where they may make the most of the day in the rest and recreation of body and spirit which alone justify the Sabbath.

He gives utterance to a feeling of regret, bitter and poignant, at the passing of old-fashioned strawberry shortcake; for, as he truly states, the food which is now masquerading as that delectable confection is a fraud and delusion unworthy of the name it bears. It is a timely and dignified protest against the degradation of what was once and still should be the noblest offering that can grace the vernal festal board and delight the palate of man. The false strawberry shortcake is a sponge cake affair and the berries are not numerous. The real thing, as the correspondent says, is made of soda biscuit, baked in bread pans, with plenty of "shortening" to make it light, and not too rich. A layer of cake and more berries; layers and libitum berries ad infinitum, "and on the top layer as many berries and as much juice as will stick." Compared with this, he says, "lotus eating is a piker's pastime." And those in whom ecstatic memories will be aroused by his description, and whose months will water as they read it, no doubt will heartily indorse his opinion. Three hundred years ago old Izaak Walton, seeking to extol the gentle art of angling, could think of no higher praise of it than to compare it to the strawberry. It ranked among sport, he said, as the strawberry ranks among berries, and quoted with approval the words of Dr. William Buter: "Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did."

President Coolidge may break a custom and set a precedent this year by making his Memorial Day address on the Gettysburg battlefield instead of in the Arlington cemetery. That he is contemplating visiting the famous Civil war battlefield on May 30th is known. Though a presidential address at Arlington has become a Memorial Day tradition, it seems fitting that a president should make a pilgrimage on that day to the scene of the decisive battle of the war that preserved the union of states. It was there President Lincoln made his immortal address, and it is a shrine to which every president since Lincoln has traveled and which every American hopes to see. Arlington is a national Valhalla, sacred to the heroes of all the wars in which the United States has engaged. As the national cemetery and last "bivouac" of veterans of all the country's wars, it is an appropriate setting for the Memorial Day address of the chief executive. However, the president's address will lose none of its solemn significance by being delivered at Gettysburg. Upon this famous and beautiful field of battle stand side by side monuments to both the Blue and the Gray. From there Mr. Coolidge can speak to all the nation, both figuratively and literally, for the "bloody shirt" no longer waves at Gettysburg and tourists from North and South mingle there in vast numbers. If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened BY: W. J. WHEATON With all the notoriety given the city of Chicago in the matter of homicides and murders, according to the figures prepared by Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman for the insurance Journal, human life is safe—in fact Chicago is a haven of security alongside other cities. Memphis, Tenn., has the distinction of heading the list with a homicide rate of 69.3 per thousand. Then follow in succession Charlotte, N. C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Atlanta, Ga.; Miami, Fla.; and East St. Louis. Those are the sections whose representatives protest Negro clerks, in the service of the Government, having a desk in the same room and white clerks. Be nighted ignorance and murder go hand in hand. Chicago with her teeming millions has a homicide percentage of 13.3. The Negro is having a light for his political life in the skeleton 'Republican party' of the South. The white politicians, without regard to party nomenclature, have banded to oust him from all political councils. It is 'bellum internicum'. And don't forget! they are receiving the moral support of Republicans, who are that in name only, and their passiveness toward the struggle is prima facie evidence that they would sacrifice the Negro or crucify his party loyalty on the cross of political expediency. Every same person decries the altitude of the South in surrounding itself with the stonewall of racial prejudice and political bigotry. It cannot enjoy full national prosperity, and, at the same time, concentrate its energy in a saturnalia of racial hatred. The Republican Party cannot afford to ignore the Negro vote. That is—if it hopes for success in the coming battle of the ballots. There is internal strife in party. The scar of the wounds left in the Illinois primary will not be erased. The strife in Ohio leaves a bitter after taste: Iowa and Indiana are seething with political unrest. New York and New Jersey are set for sanguine contests and the Negro vote is a potent factor in the determination of the outcome 200,000 young Negro first voters thinking young men and women, will have a determining voice in the outcome of the result in the pivotal states. The party cannot afford to flirt with Blease and Stephens in the vain hope of a Southern electoral vote by ignoring the plea for constitutional rights made by the Negro men and women of the nation. William Clarence Matthews, special assistant to the United States Attorney, General, Sargeant, died suddenly of heart trouble. Too bad! A sedentary life after years of strenuous athletics. Luxurious living. Too much for the heart. "Mattie" used to say that there was one thing his baseball coach taught him and that was "new draw away from the plate." He changed the "plate" in after years and combined it with ease of life. Fine fellow, "Mattie," a splendid dife a sportsman in every sense. No matter the difference, you never lost his friendship. The political wing of which he was leader will miss leader ship. His sane advice and conservative views were an asset to the success of his candidates. Many were the things planned for the coming presidential campaign, and if things would go as he had so planned, the organization of the Race vote would have exceeded all former attempts. He will be missed by his many friends. Mme. Sul-Te-Wan Scores Again Readers of the California Eagle are acquainted with the struggles of this plucky little woman. Times before the story of her black days, menacing days, when she faced even starvation and fought back; her very soul crying out for a fair chance in life have been written. Madam Sul-Te-Wan had the misfortune, in the eyes of the white man, to be born black. Else today her name might be spoken with reverence and her picture adorn the hall of famous celebrities, for even the most severe critics have had to concede she has the qualities. From the legitimate stage Mme. Sul-Te-Wan was singled out for work in the motion pictures. The symmetrical beauty of her body was too apparent to relegate its use to the insignificant parts usually assigned to black skinned folk. It was not long before her director, D. W. Griffith, in seeking to make the best use of it had special part created for her, such roles as princess and character dancing. in Daniel N. Rubinii's stage play—"Women Go On Forever," staged at the Hollywood Music Box, the Mme's services were pressed into the legitimate stage again. Surely, she was only playing a very unimportant supporting role but so well did she play that, that she called forth praise from the most severe critics. Excerpts from the daily papers follow. Los Angeles Daily Times—"There are several other distinguishing portrayals. One of the best was that of Mme. Sul-Te-Wan, as the colored servant Mary." Evening Herald—"Comedy has a true if dusky hand maiden in Madam Sul-Te-Wan, a Negro actress, who is seen as a deliciously natural maid of Daisy Bowman's boarding house. No performance in the play was better than that of this actress." Los Angeles Record—"A score of boarders, all distinctly individual characters keep up a procession of entrances and exits; Mary, the moaning Negro servant bewailing her dy- ing bridegroom with moving wréthedness (Madam Sul-Te-Wan). News of an offer that would take Mme. Sul-Te-Wan to Germany, has been received but an interview with her discloses the fact that she hasn't quite made up her mind. Sehr, Gut , Frau Sul-Te-Wan! Harlem Physician Loses License New York. N.Y., Apr. 27—Dr. Perry W. Cheney, prominent Harlem physician, who was convicted and sentenced on a charge or assault some six months ago has been notified by the New York Medical Board that his license has been revoked. Attorney's for Dr. Cheney are preparing a new fight to secure the doctor's freedom and have secured new witnesses to testify in behalf of the convicted physician, long regarded as one of Harlem's best. Judge William Allen of the Court of General Sessions is hearing Attorney Arthur Garfield Hays, representing Dr. Cheney. "ON THE WING" IN KANSAS CITY (Continued from Page One) Arriving here on Thursday A. M. we visited the plant of the Call which is presided over by Chester A. Frank lin, this being his press day, we found his busy indeed. However he took the time to show us the mighty improvement in process at this time in the mounting of a three decker Gross two color press, with all of its accessories, which when completed will put the Call way up in front in so far as equipment for the production of a weekly newspaper is concerned. K. C. NEWEST NEWSPAPER We next visited the plant of the Kansas City American which was in process of producing its second issue. The paper is indeed worthy of praise. It's general make up and arrangement bespeak men of experience at the helm. The paper has its own plant. It thoroughly equipped and manned by a trained force of workers who appear to know just about what they are doing. Mr. D. E. Taylor, editor in chief, is a wide awake and thorough newspaper man who has to his credit many years of experience and no doubt will render a good account of his first venture this far westward. Sunday we visited,衣ished with and met the good people of Allen Chapel and closed our visit in Kansas City amid the best wished and fondest memories of good people thereof, leaving now on our way to the Capitol or Kansas, Topeka. BOOK CHAT BY: MARY WHITE OVINGTON, Chairman, Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. "FOR FREEDOM" - By Arthur Huff Fauset. Published by The Franklin Publishing and Supply Company. 1931 Cherry St., Philadelphia. Price $1.50. By Arthur Huff Fauset. Published by The Franklin Publishing and Supply Company, 1931 Cherry St., Philadelphia. Price $1.50. Arthur Huff Fauisset has done a much needed pice of wark in "For Freedom". He has given us inconvenient, form a story of Negro heroes and of Negro advancement, a juvenile, but one that the adult will enjoy reading aloud to the expectant child. It is a story of Philiss Wheatley, spied by the kindly Mary Wheatley as the child stood, a slave on the Boston dock. It tells of Benjamin Banneker, the mathematician an whom Thomas Jefferson invited to his home at Montecello. It runs through the stories of prominent Negroes in the days before the Civil War. Sojourner Truth. Douglass, and then on to Blanche Kelso Bruce in reconstruction days. It tells or course of Washington and DuBois, of Dunbar, and of Carver, and it comes down to immediate times and gives brief sketches of many prominent young writers and musicians winning fame to-day. And between the biographies are bits of history that make the stories of the men's and women's lives all the clearer. I am reading this book in Mississippi, and I wish that it might be on every Christmas tree in every colored home next Christmas and also in the many homes that cannot even afford a Christmas candle. If I could I would drop a volume of "Free Freedom" in each colored school, so tragically bare of books throughout this State. And then I would go on and the same to the Atlantic. The colored boys and girls down here need, than any other teaching, to learn of the achievements of their race. My only criticism of the book is that at times the style, labeled for juveniles, is out of place. Children love the dramatic, and why, in telling for instance of the escape of the fugitive slave, should the child not feel the tingle of excitement. The half-naked black man, following the North star as he creeps through the swamp, gnawed by hunger but with the love of freedom burning in his breast, is one of the heroic figures in our history. But Mr. Fauset writes of him as he writes of Professor Carver or of one of the later Negro poets. As we recall the vivid, short stories that this young man has written, we know that he is deliberately writing down to his readers. This however, is a minor matter. The book is in excellent, readable English and should have a very wide sale. The illustrations by Mabel Betsy are good, and Aaron Douglas has designed the jacket. "You have known Thomas Jackson for years, you say," interrogated the lawyer for the defense. "Do you think he would have stolen an automobile?" "What make was it?" inquired the witness. "Let Freedom Ring" By A. G. Hays Includes Story Of The Sweet Case New York, April 20—"Let Freedom Ring," a book by Arthur Garfield Hays of New York, associate counsel with Clarence Darrow in the Tennessee evolution trial and in the Sweet Cases in Detroit, includes among its six chapters a full and circumstantial account of the Sweet Case and the trial of the colored defendants, under the title "Freedom of Residence." In his introduction Mr. Hays points to the whittling away of freedom in the United States by violations of the spirit of the Constitution and flagrant disregard of the laws. The first chapter entitled "Freedom of Education" is an account of the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tennessee. The second chapter, "Freedom of Speech and Assamble" includes suppression of meetings or strikers in Pennsylvania and West Virginia coal mine districts, in Pascal, N. J., during the silk strike, in Paterson and elsewhere. The third chapter, "Freedom of the Press," recounts cases arising out of attempts to suppress books distasteful to various groups. "Freedom of Residence", the fourth chapter, deals with the Sweet Case and the Negro segregation problem. The chapter gives not only a complete summation of events leading up to the fatal shooting of a white man, but an analysis of testimony offered during the trial of the colored people who had garrisoned the Sweet home against the Detroit mob. Included in the record of testimony is an account of the brutalities and injustices to which the Negro has been, subject in America and which played a part in the state of mind of the colored people resisting segregation by mob. "Newspapers and reports of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People were introduced," writes Mr. Hays, "not to prove the facts, but to show the material which went to make up the psychology of the colored men." The last two chapters concern "Freedom of the Stage" and "Freedom of Opinion" an extended analysis of what Mr. Hays believes to have been the judicial murder of Sacco and Venzetti in Massachusetts. Moorfield Storey Writes Borah Protesting Haiti "Tyranny" Moorfield Storey Writes Borah Protesting Haiti "Tyranny" New York. Apr. 29—Moorfield Storey of Boston, President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has written a letter to Senator William E. Borah, protesting forcefully against the continued tyranny of the American Occupation of the black republic of Haiti. Mr. Storey's letter in full is as follows: "My attention has been called to the letter which was addressed on the 11th of April to Mr. James Weldon Johnson as Secretary of the N.A.A.C. P. in which you say you do not quite see what the Committee or the Senate can do in the way of effectuating a change in the situation. "The Haytian problem is one of the most discreditable in the history of the United States. Here was an independent state which for many years had been recognized by us and with which we had friendly relations." By the terms of its constitution foreigners were forbidden to acquire land within its territory. We seized the powers of government and against the protests of its citizens and without regard to its constitution proceeded to change the position by which foreigners could not obtain control of land and insisted that that prohibition had ceased to be a part of the constitution of Haytii. That was our act, a usurpation in the interests of our citizens and it would seem to me that an act done in that way through the state Department and by our government without authority of Congress is absolutely usurpation and with no validity whatever, and to say that the part of Congress which deals with our relations with foreign nations cannot set aside such tyranny is a discrease to the country. I am satisfied that the government which we established there was never legal, and should not be recognized or permitted to continue. To say that we cannot do anything is to say that Americans appointed without authority to deal with foreign nations can usurp powers and there is not power in the United States to correct it, which I am not prepared to believe. "The foreign policy of the United States under the present administration has been a steady disgrace, and as I know you have always shared my view on that subject, I want to see you exercise both powers which are vested in you to remedy the wrongs which we both recognize. To pass laws which grant rights to which we have never been entitled and to acquire, land by adverse possession I cannot think of its being tolerated. The power to stop it is the power which is vested in the Congress of the United States by the Constitution. The power to commit these outrages does not exist at all." Bill thought the gas was getting low; He struck a match; the tank let go! Bill sailed three miles right in the air. Three miles on a pint is pretty fair. There are times when the road is good, and the moon is bright, and the engine purring when the difference between heaven and earth is the thickness of your brake lining. BEWARE! FACTS OF THE ORIGINAL VOTER'S LEAGUE This is to the Five Thousand and more members, constituting the Voter's League that was organized by the people, and for the people. The unexpected has happened among us, and we wish to apologize to the press who informed us of the traitors within our ranks, long ago. The temporary organization, instituted by the Rey, C.C. Ailer, of Cleveland, Ohio, for the purpose of bringing about a closer relationship among the citizens of this city, along economic, political and social uplift, was permanently organized November, 1927 under the name of The Voters League. The Voters League has progressed wonderfully along all phases of its work, until recently, when there arose among us, a few with a predominating spirit, who desired to use and control the league to their own interests and advantages. The sold Chas. Olivier, Mr. N.H. Jones, L.P. Lea, Mrs. C. Love, C.C.J. Williams, Mr. and Mrs Walter Clayton, unknowingly to the President or any of the officials, and without the consent of the Voters League, incorporated the same. The members very seriously object to any man or set of men controlling their rights without their knowledge and will not submit to it, for this league sands for the people and by the people. To the General Membership of the Original Voters League and Public: BEWARE. You are called to meet in a Mass Meeting of the Voters League Sunday April 29.; headed by Chas Chas, Olivier, which is the incorporated League, and not the Original one. The Members of the Citizens Voters League, and those interested TWENTY EIGHT (under the Supervision of Rev.

HARRISON CO. 1334' Lincoln Ave. Phone NI. 2576 Friday, May 27, 1928 TRYING TO PASS FOR COLORED BY: WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro press) White Negroes are usually thought of, especially by white people, as always trying to "pass for white." Well, here is the case of a colored girl who is fighting hard to pass for colored and to avoid the embarrassment of being forced to be "white." The case is not unprecedented, but the person in question is so well known to so many colored people of the East, and her predicament in the West is so peculiar, that it is interesting. All the colored people of Baltimore, Maryland, know Maude Lane, her mother and her sister and her brothers. Many of the colored people of Washington, and many others also know the Lane family, and know that they are all "colored," as colored people go in the United States. Even many white people of Baltimore, and Washington know this family. The brothers find little difficulty in passing for colored, and one of them would find it difficult to pass for anything else, as he is almost brown. It is also well known to thousands of people in the East that Maudie Lane married E.L. Booker, a young colored man or the Amctician Expeditionary Forces, who is brown, and who, after the war, studied dentistry and lived and worked for a while in Yakima, Washington, and now lives and works in Portland, Oregon. Well, in Portland, Ore., where the Lane Family is not known, Maude Laine Booker, wife of the colored dentist, has been fighting an almost losing battle, to be, and be understood as a colored person. Among the hardest-nuts she is having to crack are some of the colored people themselves. Cannot you hear them now, taking advantage of her husband's occupation as a dentist? "I wouldn't go up there that Negro dentist; he's married to an old white woman." And when Mrs. Booker turns up at a club, and the discussion turns about the common interests and struggles of colored people, and she endeavors to contribute an item from her experience as a colored person, can you not see them transixing her with their eloquent eyes, saying by their looks: "What go you know about it? What right have you to be interested in colored people's troubles? Only this colored man has interested you.—What do you want here anyway?" And some of the white people are of the same kind. Dr. Booker is greatly interested in interracial affairs and the efforts for interracial peace and justice. And when he is speaking on this subject to white audiences or to audiences partly white, you can see the white people's eyes flashing from him to his wife, and he can plainly bear their eyes cross-questioning and rebutting: "Is that what you want?" Maybe that is what interracial harmony leads to. We are not discussing the merits of these questions nor the merits of what these attitudes imply. We are simply describing a situation. Here is a colored girl, known to thousands of colored people ever since her birth, who is finding it an awful uphill fight to be what America decrees that she should be. And yet white people wonder that at least a million mulattoes have passed over into the white race, and colored people say that the white "Negroes" are always trying to "pass." We know many colored people from the East, who are now white people in the West,—but we also know the force of circumstances. The situation of Maude and her husband and her two beautiful little brown children is one of the anomalies of democratic America. Dawson Leader Scores Chicago Newspapers Dawson Leader Scores Chicago Newspapers (Bv: A N P.) Chicago, Ill., Apr. 23.—Dr. S. W. Smith, in a statement to the Associated Negro Press, laid the blame of Attorney William L. Dawson's defeat in his efforts to gain the Republican nomination over Congressman Martin B' Madden for congressman from the first congressional district of Illinois, to the lack of support of the Negro newspapers of the city. Dr. Smith declared: "Had the Chicago newspapers supported William L. Dawson for Congress as the white papers did, today twenty million Negroes would have representation in the United States Congress." Attorney Dawson was on the Deeneen ticket, which was supported by the Chicago Tribune and the Daily News and was among the few candidates on the ticket who were defeated. It is the belief here that while many Negroes wanted the honor of sending the first Negro to congress since more than two decades they did not desire to do so at the sacrifice of Martin B. Madden who has championed the cause of the Negro for twenty odd years. Conscience Whips Him; So He Returns to Jail York S. C., Apr. 23—Because, his "conscience has been after him" ever since he escaped from the local jail, more than a year ago. Lester Cousar came to the jail Monday night and asked that he be taken back and allowed to serve the remaining two months or his sentence. Since breaking jail, Cousar claims that he has visited and worked in Detroit, and Pittsburgh, but his conscience just would not let him alone.

Hi, Apr. 20.—Despite com stant activity by southern legislators to combat any show any sign of fair- ness whatsoever toward black Amer. fcan citizens, there seems to be rea- sonable evidence for the presumption that these candidates ure not greatly interested in the Negro’s welfare, oF that they fear to make public expres- sion of any statement reflecting their attitude 0.4 problems that directly con- cern black citizens, ‘One month ago the Associated Ne gro Press mailed five questions to 4 selected list of presidential candidates wgrhe list included Hen. . Herbert “Hoover. secretary of the Department of Commerce: Séa Charles Curtis. Sen. James Watson, Hon. Frank 0. Lowden, Sen. Frank B. Willis, Sen Thomas J. Walsh, Gov. Alfred E. Smith, and Gov. Albert Ritchie. The firgt five names are those of Republi. cans,’ the last three of Democrats Sen. Willis has died since the quea Uonnaire was submitted. No canaigate nas so far answered the questionaire or the fatter which accompanied it. The letter from the Associated Negro Press to each can didate read: “Leaders of colored America whe are seriously interested in the future of status of the race is riveted to the conscience of tHe mafority of the American public, They are much con cerned over customs and acts ot th: Kmerican public and of legislative bodies that indicate the Negro is los ing ground as a citizen nnder the A merican Constitution.

Tri-County Dist. Ass'n Convenes at Needles For the first time in the history of the Western Baptist Association the Tri-County District Association convened in Needles with a wonderful delegation of more than 30 persons from the Southern section attending. The delegates were splendidly entertained by the pastor, Rev. J.M. Caddell and his members, who were much pleased to have the meeting in their town, as much interest was manifest by the populace. The sermons and addresses were, the best that have been delivered at any previous meeting by Revs. L. M. Curtis, Dyer, C. H. Hampton, C. H. Davis and I.N. Whitten. The address by the Moderator was a master piece dealing with the workings of the Western Baptist Association. The outstanding feature of the Women's activities was an address by Mrs. H. E. Freeman, subject "Woman's Place in the Church," which elicited much applause. The young folk were much in evidence at this session, especial of mention was Damon E. Jackson, a college student of much ability, who was master-of-ceremonies. On the last day he enjoyed the distinction of presenting the Mayor of the city who gave the delegation a rousing welcome and was responded to by Moderator Carter. Rev. F.W. Cooper, the Moderator, has the singular distinction of having the entire cooperation of every minister in the Tri-County Convention, all of whom rally to his support without the least irritation. He has been Moderator for many years. Formerly he was executive Secretary of the Western Baptist Association at which time he won the respect of the group. At the end of the associational year, Dr. Cooper says, "the entire Tri-County will have paid its entire budget which speaks well for the organization. Lest we forget a modern church building is being erected in Redlands where Dr. Cooper is now pastoring which is another link in the mighty chain that is being wound around his many sucs --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened successful undertings. The winding up of this successful session was celebrated by a visit thru the shops of the Santa Fe Shops of the Arizona Division. There a large number of race men were found in various responsible position filling them with dignity and dispatch Among them were Mr. Otis Neal and E.K. Lamb. Stationary Firemen engineers; Mr. J. A. Gregor appear. N. Lee Jones, mphistin Mr. L.H. Davis, pipe fitter; Mr. D. M. Jackson, car stencher and head of car repairs assisted by Mr. R. Walker and Walter Jackson. Frank Moss, Formerly of Topeka where he was for many years manager of the American Steam Laundry, is head wash man for the Santa Fe laundry being responsible for laundry sent to the following towns: Needles; Williams, Seligman, San Bernardino, Barstow Winslow, Merged, Kingsman, Bakersfield, Mojana, San Pedro Boat Houses and Gallup, San Pedro. The payroll for the Arisona Division is over $65,000 per month a large portion of which is paid to those of our group. The delegates are very grateful to Messrs Gregory, Neal and Davis who were responsible for this interesting visitation explaining every detail in each department of the shops. The pastor, Rev. Caddell and his faithful wife were all smiled for the splendid session and were poah to have them depart for there respective homes. The Association adjourned to meet three months hence with the Second Baptist Church, Long Beach, with Rev. Evanon, pastor. Peace Foremost in the Minds of People Everywhere BY: EMMA LUE SAYERS Peace, universal, peace, is the thing that all people, regardless of color, creed or race, can fight and pray for. Men have been thinking along this line but their visions are somewhat dimmed with the glare of the almighty dollar. So it is with this thought that Jane Adams, the most beloved woman in the world today, organized the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. The League is organized in more than 30 countries and boasts an international membership of 50,000 and a local following of 300. Two of the beaune's workers from China spent two full hours in Los Angeles. Tuesday at the Southern Pacific station en route to the East. They were Mme. Camille Drevet of Paris and Miss Edith Pye of London, who have been on admission to women of China more than four months. Quite an international group met and talked to them at the station including, Mrs. Amelia Richie, Scotch; Mrs. Frankel, Vienna; Mrs. Anna J Visser, Holland; Mme. Thora Daug and pres of the League in Denmark; Mrs. Rose Morgan, French; Mrs. M. C. Mott-Smith, vice-president of the local branch and Mrs. Mabel Wing Castles. Mme. Drever spoke of the Comite de Densefense de Interets de la Race Notre de Paris, France. This committee recently published its own journal. La Dépche Africaine, and the first edition contains an article by John A. Gray of Los Angeles. La Dépche Africaine, has as its motto "People of the same race though separated by land and sea must unite their efforts, to known, love and never have to come to face each other for war." It is significant that this French paper of the Negro should voice in a sense, what the Women's International League stands for: "It aims at uniting women in all countries who are opposed to every kind of war, exploitation and oppression, and who work for universal disarmament and for the solution of conflicts by the recognition of human solidarity and by the establishment of social, political and economic justice for all, without distinction of sex, race, class or creed." Launch Significant Organization INAUGURATE PROGRAM TO ADVANCE PEOPLE THRU POLITICAL EFFORT The almost universal desire and hope of our people, is in part, about to be realized. That hope, to the effect that those having charge of our political destined, would care and do something substantial for the people they represent. This organization known as the Dynamic Citizens Club, a political organization, is organized primarily and principally for the purpose at the outset, to wait upon the various private, public and semi-public concerns for the purpose of gaining to its members, jobs. This much in itself justifies its existence. The biggest political favor they will ever ask of any office seeker or their backers will be, "How many men can you hire?" They intend to put a high value on the job and the "wage earner." They realize, evidently, that the economic life of these people depend and is influenced largely by these jobs. Along the other lines which they are organized for, they are to be a "wedge or ram" to bring about a better city for decent people to live in. Citizens will respond to these young people and are urged to co-operate with them to these ends. The partial list of officers include: Dr. John W. Route, pres.; E. Burt Guess, vice-pres.; Clarence Palmer, treas.; and Lawrence F. Lamar, secy. Temporary headquarters, 1710 Central Drive For $50,000 Farm Home For Aged Begins Sun. Y. M. C. A. REESE DuPREE, DR. HUDSON AND EUGENE PAGE ON PROGRAM Perhaps the most unique drive ever launched has been instituted to raise $50,000 for the construction of the home for aged, widows, widowers and missionaries of all denominations. The drive is under the auspices of the Negro division of the International Order of King's Daughters and Sons Southern Branch. The plan is to ask everyone in whom the kindred spark of love of humanity burns to give one dollars for the purpose of establishing a haven of rest for those who are no longer able to care for themselves and would otherwise be wards of the county or city. A letter from Mr. N. L. Levering states that the committee in charge of Mrs. Montgomery has purchased PETER H. DR. H. CLAUDE HUDSON Who Will Speak on the Program lots 345-346-347-348-355-356-367-268 in Rhineheart Acres, located eight miles from Riverside for this home. The Riverside Chamber of Commerce has written them endorsing the move and pledging co-operation both city and county, also they are in correspondence for the incorporation of the home so that it will be self sustaining. Fertile lands for truck gardening, ig orchards and other products of the soil will bring sufficient revenue to make the one dollar asked of the public the only donation necessary for its future maintenance. Mrs. Manie F. Montgomery, founder president, has been engaged in ministerial and philanthropic work for a number of years, being highly endorsed by the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army, and Daily Press, of Birmingham, Alabama, where she founded a home for delinquent boys and girls. The home planned at Riverside while it is to be non-sectarian and while it is not a move of segregation A. B. will stand out as a worthy work accomplished by Negroes for needy members of their race. Prominent local Race Leaders are intimately connected with the work. Among them are Dr. A. P. Shaw, D. D.; Attorney Macbeth and others. The officers of the organization are Mrs. Mamie F.

New York, N.Y., Apr. 27 - William Bridges, long identified with the Democratic Party in New York City, as an orator and leader, was sent to the work house last week on the complaint of Mr. Elizabeth Owens. Magistrate Edward Douras in the Washington Height of Court, after hearing the hallway of her house and unnoyed the testimony that Bridges slept in the tenants through his drunken abusiveness imposed a sentence of ten days. Bridges came to New York from Florida some years ago and worked his way to the fore as a lecturer for the Democratic Party. In 1908, he was knocked senseless on the fire escape of an apartment house in 181st street where police charged that he had burglarized an apartment. He was given a prison sentence which he served. After release from prison, he staged a startling comeback and worked his way back into the graces of the public, becoming one of Harlem's most prosperous business men. Trouble with his wife led to another downfall, from which Bridges has not recover- REMOVAL OF BEAUTY SHOPPE Mrs. Ellie Vee Belfon announces to her many friends the removal of her Beauty Parlor formerly located at 10512 Compton Avenue, to her residence, 1472 E. 110th Street. It is with regret that this unique establishment leaves the Avenue where she has enjoyed the loyalty and support of her many friends, but unable to secure a suitable storeroom with a floor of wood construction forces the change. The decorators have just completed adding colors of an inviting nature to the new parlors. The same service and prices will prevail.

Next Tuesday night at the Olympic Auditorium these two determined little men are scheduled by matchmaker "Wad" Wahams to put up one of the greatest battles ever dished up in that splendid Forum of Fisticuus. Shea is expected to beat O'Dowd, but he will deserve all the blue ribbons handed out to him for the "Midget" is no bodys set up. Eddie better not bat his eye or he will lose sight on the world. Figuring from his past performances the odds already placed on him are a safe bet. He is the only man with in the year to get a draw with Joe Syang. Within the year he had beaten Joe Ryred, Femandez, Tony Asencio and K. Odd Bobby Garcia. He has also boxed both Bud Taylor Phil Verdi and George Humphries, and Johnn Farr. During his career short but well filled he has knocked out Jackie Snyder, Burt Wander beaten Carl Tremaine Pete Sarmiento and many others. SHEA HAS GREAT MANAGER Joe Glazer who just dropped in town Saturday from Chicago is Eddie's manager and he and his able assistant Billy Stevens the classy little battler is doubly blessed with men who know the game and will pilot him to the top. Glazer is one of the most successful business men of Chicago and plays a big part in the affairs of the Windy City. He is very well liked by the colored people there especially so since among other business enterprises he owns the Plantation and Sunset Cabarets on the South side, two of the finest places in the city and employing a large number of colored people. STARTED UNIFORMED SECONDS Due to his originating the system of dressing his fighters and seconds in uniform bath robes and sweaters the Illinois boxing commission passed a law requiring all boxing attaches to do the same similar to the law now in effect in: California. Eddie Anderson Wolcott Langford, Roy Williams and Young Harry Wills all belong to the growing Glazer stable. For the Shea - O'Dowd bout, Matchmaker Wadhams has lined up a splendid supporting card.

Outsaws in the second game of a three-game series Tuesday night at John Muir Technical High School. The game was featured by fast playing and close guarding by both teams. Passadena was able to defeat the visitors because of the accurate and long shooting. Hicks and Salisbury were the stars for the losers. While Stocks and Harper, winners. Stocks, was high point man scoring sr of the 14 points. From the Daily Capital, Topeka, Kans, comes the following clipping: 'BEARCAT' KNOCKS OUT FORMER WORLD CHAMP Johnson Stages Good Defense in First Four Rounds End Comes in Fifth Following Terror Flug to Chin-Hall Credited With Knockout in Preliminary Wind Knotchout in Prehminary Bearcat Wright or Omaha knocked out Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, in the fifth of a scheduled 10-round bout in the main event of the Oasis Shrine boxing show at the city auditorium last night. The first four rounds were fairly even. Wright began boring in in an effort to get Jack's wind but the former champ out up such a good defense that Wright failed to land a clean blow in the first two rounds. Johnson in turn tried his old upper cut but his judge of distance was bad and did very little damage to the Omaha battler. Jack through his ring generalship and with the aid of a few uppercuts managed to get a shade the best of the second round. Punished in Clinches In the third and fourth rounds, Wright continued to go after Johnson's wind and punished him every time they got into a clinch. The third, however, was about even and Wright's body punches gave him about the shade the best of the fourth. The end came early in the fifth. Wright doubled Jack up with a terrific left to the solar plexus and followed it up with a right to the chin. Johnson went down for the count. Altho Wright helped carry him to his corner, it was several minutes before the former champion could leave the ring. Johnson weighed 235 and Wright weighed 211. It was the largest crowd that ever attended a boxing show in Topeka. Every seat in the auditorium was occupied and many were turned down at the doors. Altho Buster Hall is credited with a knockout over Sam Solomon in the second of a scheduled six-round preliminary Buster had his hands full while it lasted. For Buster was on the floor three times in the first round and was knocked off his feet twice in the second. Solomon had him all but out. The first knockdown was the first blow landed. Buster made a pass and Solomon landed a hard right on Buster's chin, sealing him down for the count of nine. The same right landed twice more in that round and each time Buster sat down to rest. In the latter part of the round, Buster knocked Solomon off his feet. Then came the second. Twice Buster couldn't get away from that right and went down for the count of nine. He was groggy but still full or fight. Once Solomon stumbled and took a count of nine while Tommy Dixon, referee, was trying to get him up. The end came shortly before the round was over. Buster hit him and Solomon took the count. Preliminary About Even The preliminary between Eugene Foster and Battling Shanghai was about an even break. Shanghai was about all in at the end of the bout but he evened things in the third by knocking Foster down twice. The vaudeville show was well received. Miss Jean Jones, 16-year-old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jones, sang two songs and was the only Topekan on the show. "Cinder" Pig Meat pulled off some dancing and comedy and Manuel W. Fielan, colored tenor, sang two songs. Albert Baker's show orchestra furnished other music during the show and for the dance that followed. Johnson blamed lack of condition for his downfall. It was his first bout in two years and he did not have time to get himself into condition, he said. Along Fisticuffs Row Charley Long was K. O'd. by Al Webster at Denver in the 10th round. THE MASTER OF THE MASTER Jimmie's trip is expressly for the purpose of testing man's physical and mental capacity. He expects to cover, on foot and alone, every country in the world, exploring the jungles of Africa, the wilds of the Amazon, the plains or Mongolia, and the Black Forest of Bavaria. He also contemplates exploring the supposed unknown country beyond Norwegian, the Holy Land, Christ's tomb the Garden of Eden, the City of Nod where Lot's wife now stands as a pillow of salt, will also be visited en route. Around thru the Arctic region "The Lone Panther" will make his trip back to the U. S. A. He had only $2.87 when he left the Military Home at Dayton, Ohio, and has no financial backings whatever. Therefore it is hoped that when he reaches Los Angeles, the Churches, Lodges, the American Legion and the Y. M. C. A. will be ready to give him every possible assistance. Lindberg and others are daily making world records in the aviation. But here is one of our boys, empty handed and empty pocketed, on foot and alone, daring to brave the wilds of parts unknown, fearlessly making a record at a world hiker—let's help him! In one town in Texas he was taken captive and only by his daring diplomat did he come out alive, and in another he made a hair-breath escape. On the desert of Arizona, with nothing but a pocket knife, he was surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, and while crossing the White Mountains he came face to face with a ten-foot mountain loth. And still his resolution is unshaken. He is "The Lone Panther" rushing ever toward the setting sun. Our support will aid this hero in making history for the race. BY: A. L. BROWN. Editor of the San Diego Ledger. "Windy" Winsor will start his new "hope" Phil Floto soon. While Henry's contract has not been sold as was first reported. He is still under the management of his broad-minded conscientious manager Pat Elsie but another is handling his active business temporarily. Morrie Cohen has proven himself a real friend to the colored boxers. He has taken several of the colored boys in hand an pushed them to the top when no one else would take a chance with them. Baby Gans is one of the top notchers who got his best start with Morrie, and he has made Mack House through carefully selected houts and the high respect in wMch the general promoter is held by the ```markdown ``` LINCOLN THEATRE CENTRAL AVE. at 23rd St HUmbolt 7804 GRAND RE-OPENING AND PREMIERE FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928, 6:30 P.M.

FEATURE PHOTOPLAY Richard Barthelmess In "THE NOOSE" "Baby Joe" Gans, Negro lightweight from the Pacific coast, is just about down to the weight at which he will enter the ring with Jack Byrd, known as the Charleston Kid, when they enter the ring before the Dundee Athletic Club at the International garage, Fifteenth street and Troost avenue. Friday night. Gans likely will tip the beam at about 140, which is five pounds above the weight he is able to make without trouble, so he will be able to disregard weight in preparing for the bout. Gans is a very clever fighter and he has a knockout punch that is good enough to lay low a heavy weight. This has been proven. Friday afternoon Gans was working out in the International arena, preparing for his bout there April 27th with Jack Byrd, the Charleston Kid. Also working there was Tiny Roebuck, the huge Indian heavyweight. Somebody suggested they work together. They did. Presently the Pacific coast Negro socked the Indian on his whiskers. The next act is Roebuck picking himself up off the canvas, a mixture of chargin and surprise. Gans weighs 136. Roebuck weighed 239 at his last fight with Battling Levinsky. "When Al hit's 'em solid, generally they falls", explained Gans. Roebuck did not complain. Larney Lichtenstein, manager of Baby Joe, arrived yesterday from California to take charge of his fighter's training—Kansas City Star. Y. M. C. A. IN GYM MEET The 28th St. Y. M. C. A.

Upper- Cuts & Blocks --By-- HARRY LEVETTE A LYING DOUBLE-CROSSER Is the worst thing in the game of Sports. Why sports can not be kept clean is the eternal mystery, but money makes men do anything, so fake fights, wrestling atches, stolen information, fixed horse races, "in the bag base ball games", etc, will just have to continue on. The Colored Press may not be powerful according to some of our local wise guys, but the real stories of the runners are appearing only in the colored newspapers of Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri, as the boys ramble on through. The white dalles don't get the real information and do not want it if they could get it. L. A. Tigers Lose to White Moose Team The L. A. Tigers, a promising, hard-fighting baseball team of youngsters under the direction of MK J. P. White, manager of the Hildale Giants in the Winter League this season, played a hard-fought game against the Moose team Sunday last. Approaching darkness was all that kept the colored team from coming from the rear to a win was the verdict after the youngsters piled up four runs in the last inning, although the white team is made up of seasoned players from various big coast teams. The score was 14-7. See the Baltimore Buzz as done by those clever chorus girls in the Ladies Minstrel. Something you'll never forget. Philharmonic Auditorium, May 21-22. Spring Dance, Monday, April 30, La Vada Ball Room, given by Pal O' Mine Club. NEAL CLISBY FIGHTS WILLIE HENRY Neal Clisby, recognized as the champion heavyweight of the West battles Willie Henry of Galveston at the Pasadena Stadium.

Neil is being side-stepped by Armand Emanuel, Ernie Owens and all the best Coast heavies. Behind the Scenes With The Sports Editor Behind the Scenes With The Sports Editor Curtis Mosby Surprise Party Opened La Vada Ballroom Through an unavoidable accident of pied type a wonderful story of the surprise party given in honor of Curtis Mosby last Thursday failed to get into print. Although late it would never do to miss giving at least a short account of so elaborate an affair. To his great alarm Curtis was captured by Officer McClanahan and other law falcons but to his great surprise he was taken to brilliantly lighted ballroom or the La Vada Apartment where over 150 guests were assembled. A delightful luncheon punch, music and dancing made an evening of joy unconfined, so the prince of jazz was suitably welcomed on his return from the East. George Mosby, brother of Curtis and his pains taking friends Mr. Levy and Mr. Batehelor, superintended the committee of 12 who gave the enjoyable affair. Mildred Washington is being flooded with contracts. Joe Glazer, owner of the Sunset and Plantation Cabarets in Chicago, is here besieging her to place her name on the dotted line and she has also received a wire from the Roseland, one of the show places of New York, owned by Mr. Reese, DuPree, wintering here. Fanchon & Marco, the West Coast and others all blding for the unspoiled little artist's services, have gotten her puzzled as to which to accept. The Lincoln will be all lights and laughter again May 4th with Bilo and his gang. The A-Muse-U had a specially good week's run. The Rosebud has set a precedent in giving away whole furniture suites. Broadway Palace had the gripping drama "Ivan the Terrible" of Russia Follies showed an augmented chorus of glorious girls and Reb Spikes in the music pit. MAIN STREET A. C.
