A few days afterwards, we were summoned to the City Hall in our first call meeting, at which time, women and men met jointly, and among the men we noticed Attorney Willis O. Tyler and Wm.\H. (Pop) Sanders. At this meeting, nothing was accomplished, except the selection of Joseph M. Schenck as chairman of the Citizens' Committee, due to the fact that the city was in distress on account of the St. Francis Dam disaster. The notice of the next meeting carried with it an announcement that we had been placed on the Women's Committee, and thereafter, whenever the women met, we were notified and attended every meeting up until Thursday morning, April 26th. when we met at the Friday Morning Club House, 940 South Figueroa street, where official cars were in waiting to convey the thirty women, constituting the Women's Committee, to the starting point of the parade and from thence to the Grand Stand in front of the New City Hall, where seats were provided and where we remained until twelve-thirty, when we were again conducted to our cars and to the Biltmore Hotel for luncheon. Up to this point, we had been treated as an American citizen, taking or place in the natural order of events. When we reached the dining hall of the beautiful Biltmore Hotel, we were graciously directed to a table near the stage entrance and far enough removed from the Women's Committee, with which we had assiduously served, not to be able to even see the crowns of their heads. At the table where we were invited to sit, were State Assemblyman, the Hon. Frederick M. Roherts; Atty. Willis O. Tyler; Mrs. Clara Hulbert; Mrs. C. D. Robinson and Wm. H. (Pon) Sanders. As we sat, we looked as best we could over the spacious dining room and noted that of all the nationalities represented, including hyphenated Americans, none were segregated except the Negro; and when we suggested a protest against this procedure, Mr. Sanders spoke up, saying that he was a "nigger" and preferred the arrangement which placed the "niggers" together. To this retort we answered that, we were neither sorry nor ashamed of being a Negro, but aside from being a Negro we were American citizens and should be treated as such.

KIDDIES MINSTREL, MON "March 19th, 1928 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 BY: WILLIS O. TYLER On Tuesday, May 1st, Dr. J. H. Wilson, Presiding Elder, Southern California Conference, A. M. E. Church, a large and enthusiastic African Methodist following from Los Angeles east to Chicago by way of Oklahoma City to attend the 1928 General Conference. The delegation was 16 strong, by far the largest church unit of our group to go east on a similar mission. The rout chosen was over the Southern Pacific (Rock Island—"Apache") and the S. P. officials furnished a modern, finely appointed steel Pullman with drawing room and compartments. Although the itinerary calls for a stop-over in Oklahoma City, the S. P. Company arranged for the use of the Pullman by the delegation through Chicago, with dining car and all accommodations. The party will arrive in Oklahoma City, Thursday afternoon and a monster A. M. E. mass meeting and reception will be tendered them by the Oklahoma delegation, which will join the Californians in their invasion of Chicago. Attorney Willis O. Tylery, lay-delegate will address the mass meeting in Oklahoma City as will also Dr. W. D. Miller and Dr. Wilson. The delegation was arranged for by Rev. Wilson, who is the leader of the California General Conference delegation and who has been a member of the General Conference for twenty-four years] Rev. Wilson who is Grand Master of Masons for California and Jurisdiction, is a candidate for Editor-Manager of the Western Christian Recorder, now being published in Kansas City. (Continued on Pape Sly) Harris Endorsed For Congress (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Apr. 30.—The Kings County Republican Committee Saturday evening went on record as endorsing George W. Harris, editor of the New York News as candidate for Congress from the Harlem district Mr. Harris, who formerly served as Alderman from the 21st Assembly District, was present at the meeting, at which time, the Kings County Republican Men's Conference was formed to secure the fullest co-operation from other organizations in the Brooklyn District. The former alderman has an even better than fair chance of winning the election if he is nominated and it is expected that he will run independently of the organization if he fails to secure the nomination. Man Shoots Little Girl Who Teases Him (By the Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., April 1.—Because little Rita Beaton, five year daughter of his boarding house keeper persisted in teasing him, while he was at a Sunday game of cards, a man whose name the police withheld, shot the child in the shoulder. She was taken to the hospital. Negroes Hold Memorial Services For Rodman Wanamaker (By the Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., April 11—Memorial Services to the late Rodman Wanamaker were held in the First African Baptist Church, 16th and Christian Streets, on Sunday afternoon, April 15th, prominent citizens of both races attending those taking part in the ceremony, Robert and John R. Logan, Charles H. Brooks, who delivered an address, Leon Wisdom, who gave a violin solo, and Robert S. Jackson and Miss Ada C. Bayport. Negro Composer To Appear In Recital At Columbia University (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., April 30.—Edward Margerson, noted young composer, will have the pleasure of hearing his original composition for violin and piano presented at Columbia University, Wednesday evening. Mr. Margerson's latest work, a Fantasy on Negro Themes, will be played by Professor Dittler of the University staff, with Mr. Margerson at the piano. Several well known themes are used in the composition which is said to be one of the most beautiful Mr. Margerson has yet given the public. He is equally well known for his work with the Schubert Music Club of this city of which he is president, presenting programs of music from various countries. All pledges to the conference Fund will be credited to the baby making the collection. In making the report sponsors are urged to file a list giving the name and address; also, whether money paid by individual is for Membership, Crisis, or Conference Fund. Contest closes Sunday afternoon, May 6th, Independence Church. Fusilade of Shots Lay Leo King Low VERNON PAUL GREEN FACES MURDER CHARGE Out at 859 E. 20th near Griffith Ave. near 6 o'clock last Monday evening for a while revolvers cracked with a fusilade of shots with Vernon Green and Leo King as the participants; as a result thereof King received two mortal wounds in the abdomen and Green is facing a charge of murder. CAUSE HAZY The cause of the shooting from all that our reporter has been able to glean is rather hazy. It is generally believe however that a woman figures largely in the premises and the facts will only come out in a formal hearing. The defendant when asked to make a statement refused to talk upon the salient points in the case which of course is his constitutional right. (Continued on Page Six) Well Known Salesman With Big Firm S. D. Patterson, well known in this section of the city and who has been connected with the Rodgers Clothing Co., for the past five years, is now able to offer to the trade that he has built up among his people, a greater service.

According to court records at a hearing before Judge Frederickson, on last Monday, S. B. Marlowe, head of a private Detective Agency, was found guilty of forging a check for $15.00 on Mr. Lee Johnson and another one on the L. A. Van and Storage Company for $36.98, and received a suspended sentence as a penalty. We cite this record to unfold the fallacy which has been so oftimes asserted that "A defendant who is his own attorney, has a fool for his client", has been exploded. For it is also reported that Mr. Marlowe acted as his own attorney.

Independent Church Enters Into New Program Sunday April 29th, will be recorded in the history of the Independent Church as the beginning of a new era in the life of the Church. In its new program of services to humanity this church is taking the first step ahead of all other negro churches in the West. The words of the christ, "He that would be greatest among you, let him be the servant of all" seems to express the new object of the new movement in this church. "ALL ashore that's going ashore!" were the last words I heard some months ago when leaving Boston for Portland, Me., on a little steamship that hauls both passengers and freight between those two ports—and at the conclusion of this command, there were kisses, hand-shakes, and "I will see you on the next trip", etc. Then the little steamer's great tarris wheel began slowly to revolve on its axis; the boat squeaked, moaned and gunted, and then turned its noose outward towards the open sea, and wore off. And now, this is what we are saying to the people of Los Angeles—"All ashore that's going ashore for the preparation of the coming of the great National Association For The Advancement of Colored People's Convention." There is no time left for argument. It is all hands and minds working together as a unit to put over a big program. The National Association is the one organization in the entire United States that is making a telling crusade against Lynching, Jim-Crowism, and the other evils that have a tendency to make the Negro a target at which all other people hurl their prejudices. THE African is neither ashamed of his country nor his color. It is only after he has passed through the meting pot such as has been the experience of the people of African descent living in the United States, that he begins to imbibe the inferiority complex and often he does not ever realize how this psychological change is brought about in his life. In most cases, he is unsuspecting to the extent that he does not realize that this is part of he White man's program to keep him in subjection. "You and your people," handed generously to Negro audience, especially in political campaigns, are terms along with many others of like meaning, that have a tendency to inculcate inferiority in the sub-conscience of the Negro. The White Man must realize that there are degrees of culture, education and refinement among Negro peoples just the same as among white peoples. The Negro was not caught trespassing when sold into white slavery. He was manhandled on his own territory by the white man who was scouting around looking for something to steal. He found North America, the happy hunting ground of the Indian, and proceeded to drive the Red Man off the earth; then, being too lazy to cultivate the soil, build roads, etc., he went to Africa, captured the Black Man, who, like the Indian, was happy in his own habitat brought him to America and chained him to the soil; hence, the BLACK MAN BUILT THE FOUNDATION OF THIS REPUBLIC ON HIS TOIL, mingled with BLOOD and TEARS; and when the time of liberation came, he fought for his freedom from chattel slavery—an everlasting shame to the boasted white man's civilization (which it would do him well to seek to blot from his histories); and just an EXPERIENCE in the BLACK MAN'S onward march (which he should only ever look upon as RIGHT prevailing over MIGHT). Since he became free, he has wrought well, but in order to absolutely free, himself, from mental bondage, he must intelligently use the ballot. In order to enjoy real citizenship privileges, the Black Man must rid himself of his own, political leeches and step out upon the political battlefields; fight out his own destiny and prove himself a man. Awaiting Trial For Theft, Steals Another Prisoner's Hat (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, April 1.—While awaiting trial in the dock at police court, on charge of larceny, Charles Williams, an inmate of the Poor House at Blue Plains, could not even control his desire to steal, and made, way with the bat of another prisoner.

Harry Williams buzzed by head-quarters the other day to let them know he was still a Mason. One hundred candidates parked their autos in front of the Masonic Temple last Saturday and entered said premises to give battle to the GOAT. Twas a short and furious struggle during which time the goat had one horn broken, three ribs cracked, his left leg amputated, his coilar bone dislocated, one eye put out, his hair burnt off, all his teeth extracted, nad his skull fractured. This was to be expected as they only had one goat. The candidates, that is, some of them, fared worse off than others and are recuperating in hospitals, homes and various sanitariums about the city. However, all pased over the goat's body and emerged privileged to wear the Square and Compass sign. We learn that a second hundred, hearing of the successful invasion of the first is headed for the same place, but let us warn you, the goat association has declined to furnish any more goats, so the lodges being up against it have telegraphed the Camel Association of the Sahara Desert to ship them by airplane, six large, ferocious cattle, three years old. Now candidates this time and I hope you'll think enough of it not to tell the Grand Master or anyone.

This assumption is based on an unprecedented increase in the number of inquiries coming to the club by mail, telegraph, telephone and personally. A check or the past three months, or since the first of the year, shows that where 100 inquiries were received last year, 150 have come this year. A large mass of these requests for information regarding motor trips in Southern California are coming from the eastern States, indicating that not only will local motorists take vacations in the family bus, but that thousands of cars will trek into the States from every other State in the Union. NATION ON WHEELS $N_{cl}$ only will 1928 be a banner year in motor touring in California, but reports from the eastern centers of population indicate that all America will be a nation on wheels for the rest of the year. If the interest in touring that has been shown during the first quarter of the year is maintained throughout, it is estimated that some $10,000,000 a day will be spent by motorists in their sight-seeing and recreation, or nearly $4,000,000,000 for the year. While these figures loom large, it is pointed out by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club that they are only 10 per cent increase over the national figures of last year, whereas in this section a 50 per cent increase is indicated. MILLIONS TO TOUR It is estimated that nearly 11,000,000 of the nearly 24,000,000 automobiles in the United States will be on the road touring in some period during the present year. This means that nearly 30,000,000 persons will be in these cars, or 25 per cent of the population. Of the enormous expenditures that will result from this wholesale touring it is estimated that 55 per cent, or more than $2,000,000,000, will go to hotels, resorts, tourist homes and general expenses, and the balance will be spent for automotive fuel, service, supplies, accessories, repairs, etc. Even if these estimates from the East are too high, it is pointed out by the Automobile Club of Southern California that a big motor-touring season is assured for this section, according to all present indications. D. V. Allen, live wire president of the San Diego Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. was a visitor in the city Wednesday. He called upon our local president, Dr. H. C. Hudson, and other local officials.

THE COMMENTATOR (Stage and Screen) LINCOLN THEATRE The Lincoln Theatre, dear fans, is no wooled and will be so until the arrival of the new show. May 4th. It is certainly too bad that the patrons could not sufficiently appreciate the "Varieties" and the split week policy. But, wait until the advent of the new show—we shall see what—we shall see. Many of the stay away fans have voiced their objections to the medicine pictures displayed there. Further, that if the cheaper pictures were to be shown without a first stock show, the admission price should be cut. The management evidently thought that something must be done; either close the doors until the arrival of the new show or cut the prices. This latter, they could not do anticipating the opening of another expensive show; and to get a better picture, it would can shelving the ones already contracted for and taking an additional burdensome contract for a new one.

This column is just like stocks and bonds—one week it's up, the next down. We had a rare treat in attending the Elks' Mingret, at the Lincoln Theare last Wednesday, the 25th. We sat down near the front and laughed like nit-wits. To our mind, Lincoln Perry, dancing comedian, was exceptionally good, with Leroy Mims, end man, singer and dancer, running him a close second. These two young men brimming over with ridiculous humor and lazy, soft shoe dancing, were the hit of the house. The last part or the program was the most interesting to us, partly because it was, in the form of an act. S. R. McDaniel as Judge EJ. Tolliver as the Policeman, Gus Jones as the Bad Man, Leroy Mims as the Sheep Thief were very, very funny, but Ralph Bibrow as the "Fairy" made the audience almost go into convulsions with laughter. Lieut. Littleton McDuff as the "Interlocutor" looked very handsome in his full dress and his voice was very clear and strong. Bibrow's quartet gave their usual entertaining program, and Strutt Mitchell singing "Rock-a-baby Baby Days" captivated his audience with his wonderful rendition, as did Elu Sloan singing "Sleep, Baby Sleep." All in all it was a wonderful night's entertainment and we are glad we didn't miss it. Success to the Elks! Well, if we had had any misgivings that Spring had come, the sight of George Dunpan getting a manicure and Fill Stovall carrying a bouquet of marvelous flowers would quickly dispell that. . . . We have a suspicion that Louis Cole, big Silver Fox man, got caught by "Snopey," that "No-all" gentleman from "Black Broadway." Miss Yolanda Colomb entertained at the Y. W. C. A. last Saturday evening with a whist tournament in the interest of the N. A. A. C. P. Many beautiful gifts were given for prizes and delightful refreshments were served. Four clubs—the N. N. B. Merry Makers, Wilshire Olympic, and La Premiers—will meet May 30th on the field of battle, namely, the track and field day, when representatives from each club will battle to win supremacy.

Sennets, split braids and panamas appeared on the streets today in great numbers and will continue each day until Sunday when the supply and demand will have reached its zenith. REASONING IT OUT The Pullman porters of the Los Angeles District are watching with interest the workings of the Railroad Labor Act through the Meditation and Emergency Board in the case of the Big Four Brotherhood as indicated in the following Associated Press Dispatch published in the L. A. Times, April 29th: "COOLIDGE STOPS RAIL WALKOUT "Because President Coolidge invoked his power under the Railroad Labor Act to require mediation of labor disputes on railroads, 600 employees of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad, members of the "Big Four" Brotherhood tonight will operate their trains as usual. Union leaders postponed the walkout, set for 6 o'clock tonight, after receiving a message from Samuel E. Winslow, chairman of the Mediation Board, giving official notice that President Coolidge had appointed a fact-finding board of five to report in the dispute." The Porters are interested because their case is similar and they also expect to invoke through the President the services of a fact-finding emergency board which no doubt will be appointed to ward off the emergency of a Pullman Porter strike. SANTA FE SPECIAL TRAIN OFF WITH SHRINERA The Al Malakah delegation left over the Santa Fe on a special train of eleven cars on their way to Miami, Fla., to attend the annual convention to be held in that city May 1 to 6, the movement of this organization is looked forward to each year by porters, maids and waiters and it is hoped that the revenue in tips will come up to what it has been in the past or even better. The fifth largest tunnel in the world was holed through under the Cascade Mountains in Washington at 1 P. M. Tuesday, by an electric blast set off by President Coolidge in Washington. The tunnel is being constructed by the Great Northern Railway at a cost of $16,000,000. The tunnel is 100 miles east of Seattle and is 7.79 miles long. It will eliminate curves aggregating more than six complete circles, lowering the maximum elevation of the road 500 feet and shortening the line eight miles. If you think "She don't know her steps" watch her step out at the Dining Car, Cooks' and Waiters' Frolic. JUST A REAL FRIEND To our way of thinking, the successful man is the one who has accomplished something for his fellow man and find contentment in being of service to the little fellow that has a hard road to travel. This type of man can be found in the person of Mr. B. M. Prescott, Travelling Agent of the TWENTY ONE—Union Pacific System. Mr. Prescott has a wide acquaintance among the porters, waiters and maids that operate on this great system. Favors and assistance in securing transportation over the lines are just some of the many things that this official has proved that he is always ready to assist in any possible way. THE THINGS THAT COUNT Not what we have, but what we use; Not what we see, but what we choose —These are the things that mar or bless the sum of happiness. The things nearby, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are— These are the things that make or break, that give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do—These are things that shine like gems, like stars, in fortune's diadem. Not as we take, but as we give; Not as we pray, but as we live—These are the things that make for peace, both now and after time shall cease. DINING CAR LOCAL MEET IN REGULAR SESSION Dingar Cook Cooks and Waiters Local No. 582 held its regular meeting Thursday the 26th, in the Executive sailors or the Y. W. C. A.

The boys are anxiously awaiting the opening of their new home as many profitable moments may be spent in this club that will continue to raise the standard or dine our employees, the officers of this organization will be glad to confer with employees of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific in regard to affiliation.

"The Spirit of '88" will be carried out to the letter at the Dining Car, Cooks' and Walters' Frolic (Watch for the date). MILEAGE It has been estimated that a waiter walks an average of twelve miles a day in the course of his duties. **STAR DINING CAR CREW** We have screen stars and about 56 other varieties so why not have some on these hurricane diners that are assisting the management of the Southern Pacific in caring for the elite that some time travel for no other reason than only to eat, words are too inadequate to give the crew of Diner No. 10042 that operates daily on "The Lark" the credit that it is deserving of service coupled with harmony throughout the entire car is something we usually find on any car carrying a crew of ten members. This crew is composed of the following members: Steward, Mr. F. S. Maneeley; Chef, A. Blankership; 2nd Cook, Robert Corley; 3rd Cook, Howard Bates; Relief Third, Robt. Leece; 4th, Nub Fulpm; Walters: Paul M. Grant, Wm. Henderson, H. Davis, McKinley Green, Preston Killings, Chas. McCormick; Coffee Dispenser, Bennie Robertson. UNION PACIFIC GOSSIP Mrs. M. Bradshaw is all smiles now since being the owner of a Bulkc roadster. (Gasoline Alley has another competitor.) Wm. Lovan has been assigned to the swimmer. Todd is still on his good behavior but at that he still makes Beverley Hills. N. C. Joiner has resumed his former run since returning from a vacation spent at Elsinore. Mr. James G. Woolley, manager of the Western Air Express, was a passenger on the Gold Coast Limited, Saturday, en route to N. Y. Our congenial friend and Daddy "Billy Weekley" are quite busy these days making preparations for the unusual number of crews that will be housed at his boge this summer. E. Mingleton, porter on the Gold Coast Limited, is credited with being a rapid fire conversationalist but at that they say when you sum it all up it means nothing. Have you had your fun this season? If not, wait for the "Hit of the Season"—the Second Annual Frolic of the Dining Car Employees. SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOPE Arthur F. Nunn, "Daylight Limited" all-day lunch car chief, left today for San Antonio, Texas, to visit relatives in that city. Preston Killings has returned from Texas where he accompanied the remains of his father, he has resumed his former duties on Diner 10042. Joe Lamont is daily becoming absorbed in the financial market. It is good that he lives in the vicinity of 26th and Hooper so he can keep an eye on the corner or may be it's the other office adjacent to the financial shop. Vivian Snowden has jumped off his big town train the "Apache". Vivian says that the lights in old Chi are a little too bright for him. (An honest confession.) Can you imagine anyone calling his pal "Hot Mustard?" (Just what do you mean F. C. S.?) Waiters on the "Golden State" are singing 'em just a little. (Too much layover and not enough bucks.) As near to you as your telephone—What? The Second Annual Frolic, given by the Dining Car Cooks and Waiters. R. Bender wants to trade off the State with someone. (Who will that someone be?)

Everywhere you looked were hang- ing vines, while sweet scented blossoms unfolded their petals in rivalry for beauty in each room. Gorgeous floor lamp casting their soft shadows over the entire scene will live long in our memories. Surrounding a large bowl of La France roses were a cluster of snowy white life size doves looking so real one would not know they were china. These represented peace and love. The bride was charming in a gown of a delicate shade of green crepe de chine. Her bouquet was of ferns and sweet peas in pastel shades. The groom was attired in full evening dress. Those in the receiving line, sharing honors with the bridal couple were: Mrs. Patrick Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colette; Mrs. Nelson Tates and Miss Frances Petty. Each wore exquisite evening dresses. Several other ladies were scheduled for this honor but were late in arriving. Miss Daisy Bell, Mrs. J. S.

Moore, in well chosen words complimented this ideal couple for their long life together. He said, Love was the backbone of their happiness. He ended by wishing them long life and continued love and happiness together. The high esteem in which this devoted couple was held was manifested in the large number of beautiful gifts received. At a late hour the last of the guests departed reluctantly wishing Mr. and Mrs. Collette a world of happiness.

Every girl will be a Flower at the Flower Show, May 10th at the Masonic Hall, 50th St. * BY: LAWRENCE F. LaMAR * * THE SILVER FOX CLUB AND THEIR FRIENDS The many friends of the Silver Fox Club demonstrated their loyalty to this popular club last Friday evening, April 27, 1928. This club among the leaders of the Junior Social set, has in the past contributed much to the development of polite social intercourse among our group. In doing so, it has been their aim to inaugurate edifying movements, assisting in their final attainment, and give the smartest affairs using the correct form. This much can be said of their last dance, a pay affair, it was open to the general public, at the spacious hall at 15th and main; the crowd, although large, had the appearance or having come there on an invitation; the music was very appropriate. The reason for the largeness of the crowd and the good quality of the people, can readily be deduced, to the popularity of the club and the dignity of their affairs. The Antique Art and Social Club held its regular meeting Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Brightie Richards at 1128 E. 33rd street. Interesting topics were discussed and a very delightful meeting was enjoyed by all present, when which the club was served by the hostess—and HOW! LITTLE FOLK IN SPRING PARTY One of the prettiest Spring parties of the season was given Friday evening, April twenty-seventh at the beautiful La Republica Tea Room by Master Walter Jacob Howard and Master Everett Cater Jeter, popular members of the young social set. The boys were dressed strictly formal. They looked quite handsome, Misses Ruth Pruden, Sapline Jones and Mr. Steven Jones received more than three hundred of their young guests at the door while Everett and Walter stood busy in line greeting their guest's mothers and Mrs. Armanda Asbury and Mrs. Grace Phillips, Mesdames Cornelia Brewster, Viola Tinsley, Sim Johnson, Hannah Haynes and Theresa Howard assisted the mothers. Many beautiful baskets of handmade apple blossoms were in evidence and it was a beautiful scene with the gallant young men and pretty dressed little Misses. Dancing was enjoyed during the evening, music was furnished by Mrs. Lauretta Butler, who presided at the piano. At ten-thirty Mr. Clifton Phillips made a welcome speech. Mr. Richard Asbury, Jr., formed the lines for the grand march which was led by Everett Oscar Jetter and Walter Jacob Howard. Pretty colored caps and favors were passed during grand marsh. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. The young guests departed after a happy evening declaring Master Everett and Master Walter ideal hosts.

SURPRISE PARTY GIVEN MOTHER BY CHILDREN On Thursday evening, April 19th, the home of Mrs. C. H. Van Norton was the scene of beauty for those who were fortunate to receive an "invite". The charming daughter of Mrs. Van Norton, Mrs. C. C. Edwards, nee Doris Van Norton, and Misses Theresa and Bernice, assisted by Mr. C. C. Edwards, planned a most enjoyable surprise for their mother, which proved to be a real surprise. Mrs. Van Norton had entertained the Missionary Circle on her birthday, received a few remembrances and had forgotten about the day. The clever children had planned for the birthday, but could not proceed on account of mother's arrangements, so they came in a few days later. This proved to be all one could hope for in the line of surprise. The spring was beautifully decorated in spring colors. A number of gifts were received. A huge birthday cake was on the table, we don't know how young she was but the cake had only four candles. Delicious refreshments were served in abundance. All departed in the wee sma' hours, after declaring the girls lovely hostesses and wishing Mrs. Van Norton many more happy birthdays.

Secy. 5401 Holmes, DELaware 896 --- In the ranks of the colored club women of California none can point to a record of worth while achievements greater than that of Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Scott is a real doer of big things; thing that endure and reflect the real Christian and human interest that the spirit of uplift and sympathy inspires. Mrs. Scott is one of the oldest race citizens among us, one of the early pioneers, coming here some forty odd years ago when but a mere girl and residing here continuously ever since. To say that Mrs. Scott is a doer of things worth-while does not give one the proper impression as to her many valuable achievements along the lines of social, civic and religious work. Mrs. Scott is a constant worker; always laboring to lighten life's burdens for those who stand in need of encouragement and assistance. Mrs. Scott by reason of her long residence here has a wide circle of influential friends and acquaintances who always rally to her assistance in any cause which she espouses. Mrs. Scott possesses much tact and a wealth of executive ability which has enabled her to accomplish with ease her many worthwhile achievements. One of her most worthy accomplishments in the community was the building of the Sojourner Truth Home, which was built during the period she was serving as president and largely through her efforts. It was during the campaign for funds for this needy institution that Mrs. Scott demonstrated her ability to raise money, collecting something like four thousand dollars in this campaign. Mrs. Scott has proven herself to be a willing, tireless worker with no thought whatever of recompense or reward save that reward which comes from the conscientiousness of the realization of duty well performed. Mrs. Scott is a great church worker, an influential and life long member of the A. M. E. Church, Eighth and Towne Ave. Mrs. Scott is a strong fraternal woman as well and is allied with every movement looking towards racial advancement as well as racial adjustment. Mrs. Scott has been recently re-elected to the presidency of the Sojourner Truth Home and has undertaken the task of purchasing the property adjourning the home to secure additional space, so urgently needed. It is needless to say that with the injection of her enthusiasm the effort will be a success. MRS MATTIE NELSON In the circle of our matrons of merit and worth, Mrs. Mattie Nelson, widow of the late Dr. Chas. Nelson, stands out as one of the most prominent and accomplished. Mrs. Nelson is of one of the best known families of the race, the Scott family, and is a niece of Bishop I. B. Scott. Aside from her natural charm and ability Mrs. Nelson has by her constant contact and association with the public as a teacher and instructor developed one of the most agreeable personalities one could ever hope to meet, Mrs. Nelson served as teach in the public schools of California teaching for years in the public schools of El Centro. Mrs. Nelson is an active Christian, an influential member of Wesley Chapel, a teacher in the Sunday School of her Church, and at present is serving as Executive Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., 12th St. Branch. BIOGRAPHY OF JAMES A BLAND AND OTHER NEGRO SONG WRITERS James A. Bland, an American Negro Composer and Song Writer, was born near Richmond, Virginia, and died in New York. He received a fair education in what was known as pay schools of Washington, D. C. At the age of seventeen he wrote his first song, "Hello Baby I'm your Daddy", which was much admired at the time. He then decided to adopt song-writing as a vocation and produced a large number of beautiful melodies, which forms a distinct type of ballard giving him a high rank in popular music, of a class that certainly possesses beauty, melody and wholesome sentiment. Many of his songs were written in Negro dialect and were sung by both Negro and white minstrels. His later songs were characterized by a high order of musical composition, and were sung by the cultured people of both races; during his time, many of his songs were the most popular. President Wilson's family had a white singer to come from New York City to Washington, D. C. during the President's sickness to sing for him his favorite song, "Carry Me Back To Old Virginia," and I am sure neither the President or the White singer knew that the song was written by a Negro. The following are some of his most popular numbers: "Golden Slippers," "In the Morning by the Bright Light," "Baby Mine," "Baby's Got A Tooth," "The Golden Wedding," "Carry Me Back To Old Virginia." Will Marion Cook of New York wrote, "Exhortation," "The Rain Song," "The Casino Girl," "Bands, a Land," "Cruel Papa," and "Love Is The Tenderest Theme." He also wrote a clever Opera and a Negro National Hymn. Gussie L. Davis of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the greatest of all Negro song-writers; who might have said, "I care not who makes the Laws as long as I can write the songs of the people," for he has written more songs than any other American song writer, more than five hundred thousand copies of his best songs have been sold in this country and they have been translated in nearly all the Languages of Europe. Two of his greatest are: "The Fatal Weddings," and "The Baggage Coach Ahead." "Dixieland," the Southern National Air was composed and sung by a Negro who had never been south of Mason-Dixon Line. He was born and reared in Dixies Land in Southern Conn. He was taken North near the Massachusetts State line by his employer, it was natural that he should dream of the Land of his birth; in his longs to return was born in his brain the song Dixies Land, which was later published by Dan Emmit White. The following is one of the original verses: "Dixies Land is a land of Clover When you get drunk you're drunk all over Look away, Lookaway, Lookaway in Dixies Land." A song that will never grow old, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," was written by George Milburn, A Negro street minstrel who being too poor to publish it sold it to Winner, who has generally received credit for it. It is well known by the musical critics of today that several of the most popular songs credited to Stephen Foster White, such as: "Massas in De Cold Ground," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Old Black Joe," "The Old Folks At Home," "Way Down Upon De Swanee River," was sung by the Southern Negroes for years before Stephen Foster White wrote them and set them to music. DOCTOR J. H. WILSON The church in the West would be greatly strengthened by the selection of Doctor J. H. Wilson as editor of the Western Christian Recorder. Doctor Wilson we might say is one of the Western pioneers as more than twenty years of his life have been spent in developing African Methodism in this section. Doctor Wilson is more than a valuable churchman, he is an able, active race man, a loyal, patriotic citizen as his endorsement for a place on the State Welfare Commission by the Mayor of Los Angeles will amply demonstrate. His position as Grand Master of the Masons of California stamps him as one to be placed in authority. The West wants Wilson. Give us Wilson for Editor of the Western Christian Recorder. GEO. ALFRED E. SMITH OF NEW YORK Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States typifies more than any other man in public life today what our Democracy holds out for every American boy of ambition and integrity. Alfred E. Smit his truly the man of the hour in our quest for a man to represent the masses and not the classes. As a progressive executive with a constructive program no governor in America has more worth-while achievements to his credit. He has been pre-eminently pronounced in the advocacy of measures and the passage of laws which have favored the laboring classes and protected the home. His program has been one of the broadest humanitarianism. His independence is exceeded only by his sincerity and invariably he places the man above the dollar. Vote for Alfred E. Smith, for President. CALIFORNIA CITIES AND TOWNS --- 馆藏编号：2736 Friday, May 4, 1923 CALIFORN Pasadena News BY: W.

The mother and daughter banquet was the occasion for a large gathering in the social hall of Friendship Baptist Church last Thursday night when Mrs. Eva Over Solomon was the main speaker. The men of the Euzelian Class acted as waiters, an exchange of courtesies as on former occasions the ladies acted as waiters. The men got along very nicely, though some were more or less clumsy. The popularity contest that has been waged most incessantly by the Forward Step Class will close Thursday evening, May 17th in the auditorium of the Friendship Baptist Church. The Senior Choir of the Friendship Church was the guest of the First Baptist Church, Duarte, both morning and afternoon where an old-fashioned basket lunch was served in the great out doors. The Junior Choir, directed by Prof. Jackson, sang at the morning service, which was very inspirational. Great things have been accomplished by this group under the tutorship of Prof. Jackson who gives his service grath that these young folks may get the benefit of his years of experience. He is to be complimented for this character or service. The feature of the morning music was a baritone solo by Young Emory Prince which was very good. He is destined to make a wonderful singer with the proper tutsege. Mrs. Bessie Martin is confined to the hospital where she underwent a minor operation.

He was at his best and many parishioners complimented him for the message. His point of particular contact was the show people made in giving flowers after you are dead, instead of passing that way while living. Also mentioning coveted honors by making of superficial "show out." All surely enjoyed the message and thought how good it was to be out to the house of the Lord.

Hulbert, 1468 E. 20th Street. Since that announcement, we have made a number or successful trips to the Valley Truck Farms. Do you remember a few years back when you were begged to buy property on Central Avenue between 8th and 20th Sts., which opportunity you failed to take advantage of and for which you are now paying high rent and leases on property which you could have owned? Now in San Bernardino Valley Truck Farms which, is only 60 miles from Los Angeles and a five minute drive from the heart of San Bernardino, we are now in a position to offer to the broad minded Race man a splendid opportunity to make a success by his past failures. A splendid location for home seekers and also a splendid opportunity for truck farmers. Furthermore, we need Drug Stores, Groceries, Markets, Barber Shops, etc. This is an opportunity of a life time for a man or woman concerned about the future welfare of himself or his loved ones.

Babies are our best a people be prosperous unless the o baby carriages may be superseded to baby. It would be alarming indeed w mand for carriages to indicate failures Manufacturers of baby carriages are complaining that the demand for their product has declined materially. Two reasons are suggested: one, that there are not so many babies and the other, that the automobile has made it less needful to wheel out the baby in his own vehicle. There may be another reason. There are fewer safe places in which to wheel a baby carriage than in former days. Though a city baby might enjoy being in the park, the perils on the way there might act to deter from the effort. It woul be a rash person who would risk the baby's life by wheeling it along a highway. A baby carriage would stand a poor show in a conflict with an automobile. Possibly baby carriage manufacturers are the victims of altered traffic conditions rather than that their plight is due to fewer babies. Babies are our best crop and we can not as a people be prosperous unless the output is ample. Though baby carriages may be superseded there is no substitute for a baby. It would be alarming indeed were the slackening of demand for carriages to indicate failure of the baby crop.

There are pistols and knives and hatchets and blackjacks in the list of deadly weapons, and, when careless hands are on the wheel and reckless drivers are behind them, automobiles are to be included. If you doubt this, read the ever-lengthening list of traffic fatalities. A man does not save to be deliberate in his intent to kill to be a morally responsible slayer. He is one if he kills while acting in reckless disregard of others. The motorist who drives his car at breakneck speed through the streets and goes hurling down the path that others cross employs a deadly weapon against his fellows as surely as one who empties his gun down a crowded thoroughfare. Let the reckless motorist fix this in his mind, and, if he is not a murderer at heart, let him prove it by exercising proper care. Good drivers are those who get not the highest but the safest speed out of their cars.

The most reasonable answer to likes such prophecies because of the their failure. He is secretely confid ever besets him, and, by that token, believing that the peril from which direst. What is it that gives prophecies of evil such popularity? Hope springs eternal in the human breast, but it is equally certain that man likes to be frightened and relishes the thrill of menace around him. Else, why the interest with which he reads prophecies of world destruction, why the gusto with which forecasts of world-wrecking wars are swallowed, why the weight given to prophecies of economic upheaval and cataclysm? The most reasonable answer to this question is that man likes such prophecies because of the joy that he derives from their failure. He is secretly confident of escape from whatever besets him, and, by that token, he likes to be tricked into believing that the peril from which he will escape is of the direst. DRESSING TO PLEASE A few days ago much space was styles and cuts in feminine raiment men. Now it appears that, to a large buy men's attire for store trade. To fifty—and why not an admirable a. As a rule the object of fastidious least to pass muster with the male tions, and with the masculine peacoe A few days ago much space was given to the claim that styles and cuts in feminine raiment are largely controlled by men. Now it appears that, to a large extent, women select and buy men's attire for store trade. That makes it about fifty-fifty—and why not an admirable arrangement. As a rule the object of fastidious feminine dressers is the least to pass muster with the male element at reviewing stations, and with the masculine peacocks it is the feminine observer whose praise is sought. The matter standing thus, it is a logical arrangement for women to wear clothes that men have designed and for men to deck themselves in raiment that women have selected. Democracy needs leaders. Among the qualifications for leadership is knowledge concerning where one is going. The proportion is growing smaller, anyway. When there were but three men on earth, the second killed the third. The story of a deaf man who heard over the radio may be true. A lot of the dumb speak over it. The era of sex pictures is closing. The supply of suggestive adjectives for titles is about exhausted. Still, the kind of men who make financial killings in other sections might do it even in your section. If all the statisticians were placed end to end, we's have a new statistic about as worthless as some of the others. The fraction of a person noted in the rating of automobiles to population may be the portion left after one is hit by a speeder. Self-preservation became the first law of nature probably when the instinct to persecute was recognized as dominant in human beings. Great inventions are often the simplest: The architect took the door off a clothes closet and called it a breakfast nook. If the great actress has the photographer make up a bunch of "art" portraits that look as if they were taken in a heavy fog she is about 44 years old. Something else that seems to be out of kilter in China is somebody's thermometer. An item says ice cream has been introduced in that country for the first time and that it was "warmly received." If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened BY: W. J. WHEATON The political cauldron is seething. It will not be long before it comes to the bubbling point. Then, after the Houston, Texas shindy, it will reach the boiling point, and run over in November. The wisecares are making predictions, and it is all guess work. For the Republican party, Herbert Hoover, and ex-Governor Lowden are out in front, but there is a deep scathe feeling that the party standwill be carried by neither of those two. It is hard to believe that someone bore the palm for internal dissension, but it is shifted. Scandals and charges of political corruption have placed the Republican party on the defensive and caused a feeling of resentment among the rank and file of the voters that will be hard to smooth out, or reason away. An attempt was made to block the resolution offered by Senator Hiram Johnson for immediate consideration of the San Francisco "Bridge the Bay" bill. The doughty senator is seeking to have the measure considered before adjournment. He has a bitter and persistent foe in the army and has been accused of doing their bidding. This time it was the senator from a neighboring state Senator Johnson was equal to the occasion and unless something unforeseen should happen, Congressional sanction will have been obtained. Boulder Dam with its splendid possibility as a national asset, is rapidly nearing, the point where actual construction will begin. The $17,000,000 bill would be made clear. Arizona's protests largely the result of the Power Trust—have been overcome and the distribution adjusted. Did you ever have a feeling of respect for a beggar? Funny question. Yet the more we look at it from the standpoint of cold blooded criticism the more we are convinced that as a race of people we are the most objective group in society. However how soon, as a people, we are going to try walking alone. When we have the pride to endow our own colleges; finance our own Y. M. C. A.s.; capitalize our own projects, and become producers, then, and not till we have been employed by Jim Crow, be taken away, and the Race be able to walk with pride. It is a hard matter to break away from this asking assistance as a rachel from the days of bondage. It is a struggle which but a few have had the courage to combat. --- Is there really a growing disregard for the symbol or religion? The cathedrals not able to employ watchmen to guard their valuables, have locked their doors. Those who seek the soil of the cloister are unable to enter the sanctuary until the door is opened by the priest at a certain hour. Can't you see the ruin of the sacredness or the crucifix: if of some precious metal. Neither have they any regard for the surplus when the textile is costly. --- A disregard for religious symbols is no sign that the world is not growing better. More Christianizing according to the tenets of the Founder. Human sympathy is more developed; more amplified, more exemplified to day than it was a generation ago. Take for an example the many institutions that have been crippled or deformed people used to be objects of ridicule and derision. Even today millions or dollars are gladly poured into the coffers of institutions to alleviate the pangs caused by the ravages of the years or cheer the little tots who are forced "shut ins through accident, or disease." Of this old world may not be the case. A symbol view, as it was a decade or more past, but, according to the teacher who laid down the precepts by which we are guided, the world is becoming more and more, Christianized. UNIZED. A human viper is defined as a person devoid of human sympathy—except for selfish gain. Ready to insinuate that any deed of Christian virtue performed by another must have some anterior motive. They whisper in a carry on their hands throw poison and venom to make their point. --- Edmund Ingram, Veteran of the Civil and Indian Wars, died suddenly at his residence, 1216 "T" St. Sacramento, 10:15 P. M. on April 19th. Seemingly in good health five minutes prior to his demise it came like a light stroke to his any friends and acquaintances. As a runaway slave boy of 14 he enlisted in the service of the Union. He served in a volunteer company of the war, when the Negro units of the military branch were organized, he enlisted in Troop L of the 9th Cavalry and served with the regiment in "conquest of the West." He became one of the pioneer citizens of Sacramento and by his courteous demeanor and Christian attitude won for himself countless friends who bowed heads and yearned cheeks. Feeble veterans, burdened with the passing years, and carrying mute evidence of their sacrifices, read their services amid a bank of flowers. Women, daughters, widows, wives of those battle-scarred men placed their flags on his bier. His was the life of a soldier, not only in a military sense, but as his eulogist, the Rev. Allen said, "A soldier in the service of Christ." For the past few years he was totaled in cloakings. He was a nobleman of the old school. He bore his infirmity with a forlitude which was buttressed by his Christian faith. His remains were interred with military honors in the Grand Army plot in Masonic Cemetery, Monday, April 23. Hits widow, Mrs Maltie Ingram has the sympathy of many friends. Sacramento's civic and religious circles, especially Shiloh Baptist Church, has lost a staunch friend and supporter. If the political seers are correct in their prognostications, then Gov. Al Smith, New York and Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover—claimed by California—will be the principal figure in the debate. There is many a slip, etc., and the ice on the political pond is not alone slippery, but exceedingly thin. Where will the Colored brother stand in this jousting? We don't mean the fellows at the Federal pie counter and who claim to carry votes in the "pockets of theests," but who claim to hold votes thinking young men and women, just out of our high schools and colleges, who are casting their first votes unhampered by the complex of "The Republican Party freed you!" unencumbered by any schisms and isms of partizanship seen through sympathetic glasses. The question with them is, not of the past but of the present: show looms the future? --- Clarence Darrow, humanitarian, was invited by the N. A. A. C. P. Washington, D. C. Branch, to deliver an address. The churches were barred to him because of his belief or lack of it and the meeting was scheduled for the open air. Evidently, the air are inoculated with the germ of intolerance. Mr. Darrow's beliefs have nothing to do in that matter. He is not proselytizing. Too soon we have forgot the laudations we showered upon him when he so successfully unloosed the moose about the necks of Dr. Darrow. This is what the great advocate of human equality had to say about it: "Of course I am aware that the preachers, who not only try to keep the people in midnight but try to take them there have raised some objections. That is all right. Do not want to take them to midnight. They do not want any money to get away from them or the church, and if the people are willing to fot low them and let them put it over, it is none of my business. If there is any class of people to whom the whites owe a debt of gratitude, it is not that it is a debt they never will pay. They have no inclination to pay it." --- Racial amenities—whatever the term means—is being enhanced by at least one Sacramento preacher; exchanges have been made between the pastors and congregations of St. Andrews A. M. E. Church, Rev. McClure minister, and the Epworth M. E. Church, Rev. McClure borderness, even in matters religious go far in fostering good will through mutual understanding. At the true spirit of Christian brotherhood can come through the medium of the racial churches too much stress cannot be laid on the building of a foundation through that medium. We would like to see a broader conception of our church our our broadcast if they are to be as they claim, the main cog in civilization's progress. Churches cannot look for tolerance when they practice intolerance. Whenever our Negro churches shut the door in the face of men simply because they do not believe as they, such churches are losing their influence for good, for progress and the lover they pay back. We must also pay back the sacred portals by various forms of secular entertainment and slam them in the face of a Humanitarian? Or course, those secular entertainments put money in the coffers of the church and pockets of the PREACHER. Senator Hiram Johnson is making a fight for the Boulder Dam. A fight that will go down in the annals of the Senate as one of the bitterest ever waged against organized millions of dollars represented in the Power Trust. In acrimonious debate, Senator Ashurh堡, Arizona, accused Senator Johnson of dolging a question, whereupon the doughy Californian, fung the charge of bad faith in the teeth of the Arizona. It was unearthed that several former officials of the Government were in the pay of the Power Trust. We remember that Ashurh堡 filtured the bill last session. Can he be made that his interest in Power October be accounted for to that of Arizona? His colleague, Senator Pitts does not coincide with his methods. Let us get behind our Senator. His fight is our fight. Boulder Canyon Dam is very essential to the development of every State through which it or its tributaries flow. Miss Rockwell is opening a branch Center in connection with the Reading Rooms that are under the leadership of Miss Ida Drew, and will hold special services in the new Center, which has been enlarged and redecorated to meet the needs of the library for services. The meetings will be conducted by teachers from Miss Rockwell's Down-town Center, as well as by Miss Drew and Mr. Gilmore who are identified with the work. The Center will be open from 10 A. M. until 5 P. M. and evenings and a programme of interesting subjects will be scheduled for the evenings during the week. All are welcome. Love offering only. Come and see the wonderful work accomplished through this law. The Song and Entertainers Club of Douglas Temple directed by Mrs. Bertha Spruill wish to thank the parishioners for making our Musical Contest with the Silverton Choral Club. Wed. April 25, 1928, a booming success. The score being 4,350 to 3,835 in our favor. E. E. JAMES, Pres. E. A. BYRD, Secy.

We have never interest was at stake and until gross DISCRIMINATION Biltmore luncheon, and in other radicated, and we shall enjoy others in the sunshine of Paid give me LIBERTY, or give me CHARLOTTA THE COMMITTEE.—When we were placed on the Women's Committee on Arrangements, for the opening of the New City Hall, we set forth to do our duty as best we could. Being the only Colored woman on the committee, of course, it was cur lone desire to represent our group in a creditable way. As we met the Committee from time to time, we had no reason to believe that our position or place on the same was that of a figurehead and that there was a BIG BOSS directing the "DARK-END" of these committees. It is an origma to us as to how any Negro or group of Negroes, could consider himself, herself, or themselves, guests of the Mayor, because they were permitted to slip into the Biltmore Hotel and lunch at a little SEGRAGATED TABLE. BETTER UNDERSTANDING.—Nations, races, and groups cf people, make contacts, with no purpose of establishing a social set, but in order to understand each other better. In political campaign, white men and women candidates are often seen dining in public places with Negroes; when they come to us, they are never segregated, but rather given a prominent place at the table. Hence, we resent the incident that occurred at the Biltmore, and do not hesitate to say, that had not snap judgment been served upon us at a minute's notice, we would have refused the segregated courtey. First, we resent it because we had served faithfully on the Committee to which we had been appointed. With the assistance of the Colored Women's Federated Clubs, we subscribed to the expense of a beautiful floral float which called forth hearty applause from all who saw it. And secondly, we resent it because the Hon. Frederick M. Roberts, Assemblyman from the 74th Assembly District, who for the past ten years has been our lone representative at the State Capital, was not shown the courtesy of, nor given a place with, other State and City officials, with whom, because of his position, he duly belonged. POLITICAL BOSS.—Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, a few months ago, while speaking over the radio in this city, said that, the Republican Party could buy the average Negro vote for a sack of potatoes and that there were a few BIG NEGRO BOSSES scattered over the country who hold the sack, crack the whip, and thusly tell all the little fish when and how to vote. From the tone of last Thursday's affair, it looks like Los Angeles Negroes have one of these self-appointed Negro Bosses who says, by his attitude, "I do and undo, and unless you take my program, I will undo you." If Jack Beane, or any other city or county official, permits any one man to make up all election boards and say how all other Negroes should be treated, we argue that, that is a good man to put out of office. WOMEN ORGANIZE.—A representative number of thinking women have organized. The name of this organization will be published later, but the object of the organization is to protect the civic and political rights of Negro women, their children and their children's children in the city of Los Angeles and the State of California. This new woman's organization will stand first of all, for right thinking and will ever lift its voice against such petty segregation as that forced upon some of the not inferior-complexed members of our group, who dined at the Biltmore last week. WITH REGARD TO VOTING.—Paid politicians who spend most of their time at the City Hall with the Negro vote (as they say) in their vest pockets, ready for sale to highest bidder, are to be exposed. We want cur women to learn to vote intelligently on issues and questions affecting our rights and privileges as American citizens. We realize that the time is at hand when we will have to fight our own battles and that the ballot is the only weapon with which we have to fight. Some of our women are political slaves, not because they want to be, but because they have been grossly deceived by men of their own group, connected with some powerful corporation which sets aside a political slush fund for each and every campaign with which the WOULD-BE NEGRO BOSSES buy Negro votes. These Negro Bosses, and especially one who seems to have had much to say with regards to the part played by Negroes in the New City Hall opening celebration, are brazen enough to class all Negroes the same. They go into the churches and say to the preachers as Satan said to Jesus on one occasion, "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." But the women have said, "Stop! Our battles shall from now on be fought by us and we need no go-betweens. "We are Americans. We have never feared nor failed when America's interest was at stake and now we shall not cease to fight until gross DISCRIMINATION, such as was practiced at the Biltmere luncheon, and in other public places, shall have been eradicated, and we shall enjoy equal rights and privileges with others in the sunshine of Patrick Henry's immortal words: "Give me LIBERTY, or give me DEATH!" CHURCHMEN OFF FOR CHURCH MEET (Continued from Page One) Accompanying the delegation as ministerial delegate is Dr. William David Miller, the pastor of Historic Towne Avenue. Dr. Miller, now serving his fourth pastoral year at Towne Avenue, has attracted the attention of the Connection by the success of his pastoral work in Los Angeles. The pastor has been fruitful of nearly 300 conversions at Towne Avenue, and more than 500 persons have enlisted with the church under him. He raised the church dollar money from one thousand to eighteen hundred dollars and ranks third in the whole Connection; paid off the church debt by bought a house in the estate; and is a rate for a new church home. His geniality and high Christian character have endeared him to ministers and congregations and such is his success that he makes strong Bishopic material. Dr. Miller is a candidate for the high office of Bishop, though it was not hopeless. He will present California will present him for better acquaintance and a complimentary vote. in 1932, he should realize this lofty and worthy ideal. Accompanying the delegation also are the good Bishop H. B. Parks and wife. Bishop Parks is Senior Bishop and as such the presiding head of the greatest Negro organization in the world,-the great A. M. E. Church. He supervised the work of the 18th District which includes the Pacific Coast and Oklahoma. Called by the --- on we were placed on the Woments, for the opening of the New duty as best we could. Being the committee, of course, it was group in a creditable way.

He return of Bishop Parks to the Coast and the gaining of the Western Recorder by Dr. Wilson, a large complimentary vote for Dr. Miller and a general reduction of all church expenses and appropriations are some of the outstanding aims of the delegation.

SHOOTING OF LEO KING (Continued From Page One) OTHER WITNESSES R. C. Ingraham, Secretary of the Erasian Club. I have known Green for about seven years. I saw him about 5 P. M. Monday, he was talking to Mrs. Sharpe. I heard him say, "I could have shot him," a policeman or somebody stopped him. I am pretty sure that is what I heard. I went on back walking and did not pay much attention to the argument. Pretty soon I heard a car come up and stop. There were 4 or 5 in it, but as they drove up Green got in a taxi and drove off. Question: Did you see him talking to Mrs. Sharpe? Answer: Yes. Q. Did you see anything in his cab? A. Yes. A blue steel resolver, Green drove off, the rest went up stairs. I looked up and saw this same taxi run. Green drove up and asked little James Davis, the little kid sitting on the porch to push that bell downstairs; then, as the door opened, Green opened fire. Q. Where was Green standing? A. He was not standing, he was in the cab. He fired a series of shots. I estimate 4 or 5. Then I saw this other man, Mr. King, he was moving very fast, he was hooting, I saw another gun firing. King was firing that gun. Q. How many shots did King fire? A. I could not say, it was an automatic and shells were falling all around. Q. Then what happened? A. Naturally I fell to the floor until the shooting was over. When I got up I saw Green running across the street. The taxi driver had jumped out.⁷ Here at this point the defendant evidently forgot his constitutional rights and denied some of the wittiness made several statements which by doubtless did not intend making. Mrs. Maggie Sharpe said that she did not see the shooting but heard it and, her testimony was decidedly against the defendant. Other witnesses to testify were Turner, Mrs. Green, Herman Avery. Summing up the evidence adduced it discloses the lowest depths of deprivacy and the killing comes as a byproduct of gross immorality and of illicit bootlegging. Mrs. Sharpe made by Homicide Division, Central Station, assisted by Detective Lieutenants Kimbrough and Broady. THE DUST OF THE EARTH A SPLENDID SUCCESS The Tiffany players covered themselves with honor in their rendition of the play—"Dust of the Earth." Every part was played so well it would be unfair to comment on one unless we mentioned all. The parts were all so different and each one portended the other, but they were written for them. The stage settings were beautiful with footlights and an expert curtain man, Mr. Edwards. Mr. Lee, the Director, deserves great praise for the manner in which he handled the moral also was good—"Don't Have Any Secrets." All the young stars' trouble was caused because her parents kept their marriage a secret. Mr. Boston, tenor, contributed to the pleasure of the evening by rendering several fine solos which were enjoyed. The Dorcas Club thanks the public for their patronage. IVORY BROWN, Pres. REV. BURKHALTER, Pastor Among the new clubs of recent date is the "Fortnightly" 500 Social Club, which was organised a few weeks ago at the home of Mrs. Pearson. The first regular meeting was held at the residence of Mrs. Robt. Bennett, Jr. At the next meeting the club was entertained at the home of Mrs. W. Freeze. There two tables were in action which contributed plenty of competition for all. At the next meeting a third table will be added. Among the officers of the club are: Mrs. Freeze, president; Mr. Leorard, vice-president; Mrs. Homes, recording secretary; Mr. Frees, corresponding secretary and Mrs. Robert Bennett, Jr. treasurer.

JONES Spring which brightens the sweetness of flowers and romance has not failed. It again has been the beautiful culmination of a delicate encounter between two young solos whose lives have been entwined now as one. For in Spring time did one J. McLarine Ervin, woo the lady of his heart, the beautiful Olivia T. Flint, the darling daughter of a Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Flint. Now young Ervin as you know, is a dashing young Texan and the son of the Ervins of the lone star state, which family is respected for its southern hospitality and its reputation for doing things in an educational way. "Son," Mr. Ervin is reported to have said to his son McLarine who was leaving for Columbia University to geek fame as a writer and a dramatist, "I want you to study hard and by all means keep love from your heart until you have reached your goal." SEEKS FORTUNE IN 'OLE NEW YORK This young Ervin agreed to do as he set forth from his father's college at Hawkins. Text: to be a giant among men of letters. He soon found himself at Columbia hard at his studies but soon tired at the hub-bub of Father Knickerbocker, so he carried himself to Northwestern, the maker of noble men. All the while he dared to love but kept strictly toward his goal.

In the meantime out in sunny California, Clivia, the lovely daughter thought only of her books at Jefferson High. "Do not think of the boys but put your mind on your books and when it is time the right one will come along, you shall see," was the advice that Mother Fint imparted to her only daughter. FATE DRAWS DASHING DRAMATIST TO CALIFORNIA And Fate, the great enigma of humanity, moves in a mysterious war drawing men's hearts from foreign fields to their Lovely Love. So it was with the dashing young short story writer who now had taken the role of a cosmopolitan and had gathered together his luggage for the realms of Troy, the home of the University of Southern California.

He tried to write again with his former fury, but anguish stayed his hand. Throughout the land this dashing and her bouquet was roses and lilies of the valley. A song by her friend, Mamie Lowe, Payne, with Lottie Anderson as accompanist. She was leaving girlhood forever, and the marriage service was read by Rev. Mr. Torrence, who told the world that the hearts of two should forever more beat as one. After the ceremony was over and the routine of friendship was dispensed with, the dashing young adventurer bled to the call of the open road and rained down the highway by motor to San Diego on a sweet honeymoon that ended a fascinating romance of a daring young writer and a sweet girl of golden California. Mother Flint and the sturdy old oak watched the fast disappearing roadster until it became but a speck and turned t to each other and smiled. "We still have each other, dad, if our only Olivia is gone". Mother Flint muttered as she slowly closed the door. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin are at home to their friends at 2319 Hooper Avenue. May they forever find peace and happiness, these two young lovers who have begin in the perilous journey on the sea of love that respects none but the brave. The romance is ended, but its sweetness of soul and breadth and depth of beauty still lingers in the minds of those two lovers. May it ever be. Come to the Flower Snow given by Mrs. A. C.

He tried to write again with his former rury, but anguish stayed his hand. Throughout the land this dashing collegian travelled and many maidens had he seen but when the day was dying and shadows cast their lot, he hied to a secret rendezvous to meet Olivia. And all during the reign, of the lazy moon unbeknowing to himself and friends did J. McFarlin Ervin woo his bride-to-be. He had fallen from his father's code. He was in love. To winds went caution. He wooed. He asked her one night to have the opportunity of sharing her girlhood sweetness and alignment with his destiny forever and she answered yes, providing dad the grocer, and mother gave their consent. FATHER AND MOTHER AGREE TO PART WITH DAUGHTER "And you would take our only daughter, Olivia, as your wife?" queried the father, "Who are you?", the sturdy old oak interrogated. "I am from the South's best" answered the faternity man. "I have an uncle who is the second wealthiest Negro in Baltimore, a Harvard man, a brother who is a doctor in Chicago, a father who is a Columbia fellow and President of Jarvis College, and—" "That is enough, young man, I just wanted to see if you really loved you."

McKINLEY EXPECTED MUCH FROM POLITICIAN An old oak heartkened back to yesterday and resurrected memories that told of the hectic days of early California when might made right and the barking six-shooter was the last analysis in justice. The marriage of his oply daughter caused the father to search the duty pages of the past and to recall civil history of Los Angeles when it was but a babe in swaddling clothes, and its historic citizenry numbered 8,000. The old oak was C. C. Flint, the father of Olivia, whose romantic marriage to a dashing young writer is revealed in the columns of this paper. Flint came to California in 1881 and married the beautiful Cassie Jacobs, then a California belle. He at once entered the grocery business and began to take an active part in politics. At this time it was the Afro-American League and not the N. A. A. C. P, which the colored populace supported to be the watch dog of their civil rights. Flint was for years the vice president of this organization, and president of the local league. As for politics it was here where he was a bright diamond leading his followers to victory.

Carl Diton A Masterful Performer By IDL At the Second Baptist Church, Friday evening, the Musicians' Progressive Association, presented Carl Diton, the race's foremost pianist, in recital. From the moment that Diton first entered, sent his broad smile beaming over the audience, until the last chord of the encore, to his last number trembled on the air; he held his audience on his finger tips. Never has it been the writer's privilege to sit in an entire Afro-American audience and feel the spirit of enthusiasm so prevalent over interpreations of the masterpieces of such musical genius as Chopin, Liszt, Bach, and Wagner. One does not marvel at the reception such as was accorder Carl Diton, if they once enjoy the privilege of being caught in the spell that he weaves by the debt manipulations of his strong, nimble fingers. Nor does the music come merely from his finger tips. Instinctively one feels that as the tones pour forth fro the instrument that he hear of Carl Diton goes with them. It is that heart to heart call that awakens such spontaneous response in his audience and they clamor for more and yet more again. Assisting Diton on the program, Maude Rosemond Watson, mezzo soprora and Melba Frances Allen, contralto, were pleasing in their duet numbers. INE AUDITORIUM.

But If McTigue shows Willis as much stuff as he did Armand Emanuel it will be a poor ad for youth at that as pitted against ex- perience. McTIGE WON CHAMPIONSHIP FROM BATTLEING SKI Battling Siki, the eccentric Senegalese heavyweight, stopped Georges Carpentier to the upset of the fastic world winning the European championship. He heikt it a short while then lost it to McTigue in a St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. McTigue fought many thrilling battles during his reign taking on one and all of the contenders. Willis has had a winning streak for a long time, most of his recent battles taking place on the coast. McTigue, the old-timer, made such an impression on "Wad" Wadhams that the Olympic matchker is already casting about for more opponents for him. He is confident that the former light heavyweight champion will look so good against Willis that he will immediately become a big local drawing card. McTigue will undoubtedly enter the ring a favorite over Willis but the fans know the cowboy and feel that he is just the sort of a scraper to give the veteran a whole of a battle. B. A. A. A.

"To Fight Or Not To Fight" Says Mack House Mack Hpuse has laid down the law, in other words he announces that the proverbial worm has done a turn-over especially and is not going to take things as they come any longer. Mack is a great fighter, game as they make them, but very genial and tractable through all. But he graven action, so with the ban practically placed on top mixed bouts for a while, it looks like a long dry spell. So he announced today that rather than rust on he will "fold his tents like the Arabs" and go where he can fight, and if it can not turn around otherwise, he will go how far for sight he must, say the californian Bear. # GLADYS MA- THONICAN Something new has happened. The girls have been asked to participate in the Annual Y. M. C.A. meet, which is to be held at 1:30 o'clock, May 30, Memorial Day Day. The Jefferson High School, Fulton Field, has been obtained for this specific occasion. In accordance with the spirit of the day, there will be a Memorial Day program in conjunction with the regular field events. The girls promise unusual features, and it will be of interest to everyone, I am sure, to see just where our girls stand in track events. Who knows but what some interesting and promising Olympic material might be discovered at this meet? The only admission fee that the participants would like to collect is a good rooting voice and a good spirit. SENSATIONAL SAL IS "BABY SAL" MEETS JACK STEPHENS AT MAIN ST. A. C.

Gardner, Seattle 412:57:44 Like Pyntlas waited for Damon to return and release him from the dungeon, so anxious patrons of the New Lincoln have waited for the return of that droll and wonderfully popular comedian, Sam (Bilo) Russel. And thereby hangs a tale. After arriving in the/East he found that the principals and producers of his proposed show would be unable to leave for two months due to existing contracts. So it will be about ten weeks before he will be able to bring them as the nucleus of his big show. Only principals will be used but his chorus will be picked from the many available Sunkist beauties here. MILLER'S AND SLATER'S SHOW OPENS The nationally famous Miller and Slayer's show which opened Thursday, is a good road show with its own chorus girls, hence could not use the local girls.

The famous Lottie Gee, formerly with Florence Mills, in "Shuffle Along" and who shared her honors abroad, has also featured in "Chocolate Danies" and "Chocolate Kiddies." Edith Spencer of "Shuffle Along", Emma Hawkins of "Rang Tong" and "Liza"; Aurora Greeley of "Runnin Wild"; Irene Pondexter, "How Come" and "Lucky Sambo"; Leroy Broomfield, famous team-mate of Greeley formerly in "The Fashion of Musical Comedies." Amon Davis and Galli De Gaston, famous comedians; Robert Taylor, the Dancing Streak, headed by Marcus Slater and Quintard Miller, America's foremost and youngest producing stars. Their wonderful chorus are truly Buds in their "Garden of Roses" and are Valada Potter, Rose Somerville, Victoria Lloyd, Marion Sumler, Bobble Davis, Cornell Vigal, Christine Russell, Ruth Spencer, sister to Edith, Emma Western and Marion Gee sister to Lottie Gee. Curtis Mosby and his Blue Blowers are on hand of course, but during their short vacation they have been caught up in show down-town at 6000 State. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1928 M. J. WOLCOTT LANGFORD Nephew of the well belo boxes Bert Colima a return mat near future. The last meeting committed by "The Mexican Id followed. The bout across the Movies Of Russian Rev- olution Better Than History Nephew of the well beloved battler Sam. Wolcott boxes Bert Colima a return match at Tia Juana, Mexico, in the near future. The last meeting at the Olympic ended in a foul committed by "The Mexican Idol" and his 30 days' suspension followed. The bout across the border will draw a great crowd. "Potemkin is the most unique, the most original, and the most significant film of a decade. "It is the first motion picture to rise out of the ordinary routine of picture making", says the Christian Science Monitor. Sergius M. Eisenstein, the young twenty-seven-year-old director, is responsible for this master film. He chose for his theme an incident of Russian history following the Russo-Japanese War—the mutiny of the crew of the Cruiser Potemkin—and re- enacted it into a vital and dynamic motion picture. He spent months in research. He secured the co-operation of the Soviet Government and of the Navy Department. He sought out eye-witnesses and listened to their accounts. His labors were rewarded and the National Board of Review in passing "Potemkin as an exceptional photoplay commented that it was also "the perfect cinematic reaction of an event." THE BIG CITY at the Rosebud was made here using a number of colored actors in the cast. Among them was Mildred Washington in a good part. THE A-MUS-U showed Uncle Tom's Cabin. HIPPODROME has 7 acts of vaudeville. BROADWAY PALACE showed the wonder film "Armored Cruiser Potemkin". ved old battler Sam. Wolcott ch at Tia Juana, Mexico, in the at the Olympic ended in a foul ol" and his 30 days' suspension border will draw a great crowd. AUTO RACES START AT COLTON Speed Kings of the oval will compete Sunday at Colton. The Colton race will open the championship season and points will be awarded for the first five places. Heavy money has been hung up by the speedway association and with many new drivers and cars entered, it is expected that more than 10,000 fans will watch the six events carded. Those Were The Days of Real Ring Battles BY: GILBERT HYATT After Jack Johnson had beaten the comparatively diminative Tommy Burns at Sydney, Australia, in 1908, the fight gentry, animated by the purely altruistic desire to re-establish the "Supremacy of the White Race" and with, of course, no thought whatever as to the clicking turnstiles, combed the country for gentlemen of sufficient talent to become crusaders in this great reform. Jnasmuch as Johnson was over six-feet tall and weighed 220 pounds in fighting trim, and that Jim Jeffries, even larger, had been defended by him, the old slogan of Bob Fitzsimmons—"The bigger they are, the harder they tall"—was discarded in a frenzied search for sheer bulk. Carl Morris was the original of the long list of "white hopes" who were induced to answer the call. Morris tells the story in this way:—(To be continued) COMPLETE half the distance to New York when they pull into Chicago, Saturday, still greater attention will be brought to the four colored runners in the race. SO IT IS with pleasure I can look back to the fact that following the policy of this publication I am responsible for Toby Josephs being allowed to remain in by excusably lying his age from 15 up to 17, and securing a backer for the great Eddie Gardner. I will be rewarded by the knowledge that the boys have brought more honor to the Race in a wonderful way. A. C. Harris Bilbrew and Cornelia Walker are presenting a Flower Show.
