1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1928 VOLUME 41 LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1928 No. 40 BENEFIT MUSICAL REVIEW—AND—DELEGATES AND VISITORS DANCE—Featuring Three Of The Best Orchestras In The West—SATURDAY, JUNE 30—SHRINE AUDITORIUM Captain Jackson Captain Jackson, head of the Vice Department of the Los Angeles Police Department, was, by unanimous vote by the Police Commission exonerated from the charges filed against him of inefficiency and neglect of duty by the Chief of Police, Wm. J. Davis, and restored to his command. From the decision the charges of the Daily News relied upon by Chief Davis are pure bunk and certainly puts both the chief and the News in the nine hole. MANHANDLED AT NEWTON STREET STATION Thomas Rowlett of 1654 East 50th Street says he went to Newton Street Station, Thursday morning, May 10th to investigate a case reported the preceding evening. Wednesday, Had made one statement and Officer wanted another one. Said he didn't see why he had to make another statement since he had made one already. Officer: "Don't talk back to me; I'll hit you over the head with this ink bottle." The officer also used some curse words and ordered Rowlett out of his office. Rowlett started to leave but unfortunately was not leaving fast enough for the man. When Rowlett got to the door, the officer was right behind him. (Rowlett) entered the hall and trumped around facing the officer. Officer then hit Rowlett in his mouth, splitting his lip. Phil Peterson of 1600 E. Jefferson saw the affair. Officer was in plain clothes and was acting in the place of the captain who was not there, at the time. African Merchant Sails For Home (By A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., May 9.—Theodore Anse, wealthy African merchant, sailed for home on the German steamer, "Reliance." Monday evening. Mr. Anse had been in this country completing contracts, with wealthy white firms for the developing of his country and in the interest of wealthy native chiefs of the Gold Coast. Several colored men have been employed by Mr. Anse, who was firm in his insistence on this point with the white underwriters of the import firm he organized with headquarters in New York City. RETURNS SLAYER TO DETROIT Shroveport, La., May 9—Herbert Sims, arrested here, has been taken to Detroit, Michigan, where he is want ed for the murder or Thomas Powell, wealthy Detroit Negro. Sims admitted to officers here that he stabbed Powell after the latter struck him. Sims agreed to waive extradition proceedings. BENEFIT MUSEUM FORUM HOLDS TORRID SESSION Segregation Flayed; Rumored Graft to be Investigated Sunday's Forum was full of fire works caused by discussion of the Biltmore segregation incident as published in the California Eagle and Pacific Defender. Assembly Roberts was present and the fire centered about him as he strived to justify himself and the Jim-Crow incident. GRAFT EXTORTION INTIMATED A complaint was registered that Mr. O. E. Brookins, who is building a great auditorium near 41st and Central Avenue had been the victim of threats and extortion in reference to obtaining a permit from the Police Department to operate, also had been threatened bodily harm. A committee was appointed by the Forum to investigate the rumor. This committee met with O. E. Brookins on last Wednesday with his witnesses. A reporter of this paper was present and the following statement was made which will be presented to the Forum on Sunday: Statement of Mr. O. E. Brookins, Owner of Brookins' Auditorium Building under Construction near 41st and Central Avenue To Committee Appointed by L. A. Forum and, Whom It May Concern. About December, 1927, I arranged to purchase the N. W. corner at 41st and Central Ave., to build thereon a commercial building. Mr. Smallwood of the Blodgett Realty Company, acting as my agent, mentioned Mr. Chas. Olivier as a prospective tenant for a dance auditorium, if I should build one at 41st and Central avenue. Negotiating with HR Olivier resulted in Mr. Olivier's refusal to agree to pay sufficient rental to justify the expenditure of money required. The purchase was abandoned and the lot was later sold to Dr. A. J. Somerville. At a later date I decided to purchase the adjoining lot for the purpose of erecting a building which is now under construction to be used by myself as tenant together with others, under my own management. Included in my building plans space was allotted for an auditorium to be used for any and all legitimate purposes including dancing, for which I made formal application for necessary permit. Immediately thereafter, I was informed by Mr. Olivier that my application for said permit would be denied and could not be obtained unless it comes through him, with the added remarks, "I run the East Side and have the entire police department or force behind me. If, by any means, permit is granted, I will see that your doors are closed if I, myself, will have to plant something there that is in violation of the law." He (Mr. Olivier) afterwards proposed to me to obtain permit and furnish all protection upon payment of 60% of the net profits from auditorium and fountain lunch room, which I refused. After expiration of fully six weeks, my application is still pending. (Signed) O. E. BROOKINS. Owner P. R. SMALLWOOD. Witness Com. of Forum: C. E. McKinney R. G. LaMar PARKRIDGE COUNTRY CLUB (BY: J. B. BASS) After being assured that the famed Partridge Country Club had actually and formally been acquired by the Nelson White holding Company, composed of Dr. E. C. Nelson, E. R. Bailey and J. W. White in its entirety we decided to wend our way to Corona 50 miles distant for a first hand inspection. Therefore on last Sunday in company with our wife, Mr. S. H. (Dude) Hamilton, foroman of the composition room of the California Egale. We made a two hour drive which landed us at the portals of the Parkridge Country Club right close by to Company. WHAT WE SAW We found here four about a magnificent Club Building sitting on a knoll which give a most magnificent view of the entire surrounding country. The whole fabric is one of magnificent grandeur which no words or pen picture at our hand can describe. In fact Parkridge Club must be seen to be appreciated. Its every appointment is both colossal and wreathed in splendor and beauty, one has but to think of the most beautiful hotel or club house that they have ever seen and then just add a deal more to its completeness and you will get a slight idea of the magnificent beauty of this institution. Great and gloriously furnished lobby, dining halls, offices, women's parlor, shower baths, thoroughly furnisher kitchen, china ware, tons of linen, golf links, tennis courts, shooting ranges and scores of cottages all go to make up this great and wonderful property comprising nigh unto 500 acres. We are informed that this wonderful property is now absolutely the property of the above mentioned company and fully paid for. Therefore this being so, no difficult problem of promotion to be met, there is no question but what the membership reduced to a minimum of its success. Great preparations are being made for its formal opening with the event of the century which will take place on May 30th, when all roads will lead to Corona for the people to see for themselves what we have related above. In the meantime articles of information will appear from tome to time giving to the public news of interest leading up to this great event and the things being accomplished for the perpetuation of the club. In memory of our dear mother who passed away May 12, 1924. I cannot say, and I will not say, that she is dead. She is just away! With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand, she has wandered into an unknown land. Her loving children, GENEVA JONES, Daughter, ERNESTINE, WADE-JONES, Grand Daughter. Brooking Auditorium And Apartments The Brookins Apartments, Auditorium being erected by Mr. O. E. Brookins on Central Ave., near 41st St. next to the Semerville Hotel, is rapidly nearing completion and are indeed a high credit to the genius. of one of our pioneer citizens. We are appreciative indeed to the steady advancement being made by our citizens along the line of production. Mr. Brookins for many years operated the Brookings Apartments on East 9th Street, and has proved himself a far seeing and progressive citizen and we congratulate and wish for him unbounded success in his latest undertanding. He has been ably assisted by Mr. E. R. Smallwood, the well-known reality broker, who has ben of invaluable assistance in handling this great transaction. We cease to be on the wing", we are now at home in Basel, however our surreptitious nature has been observed on our recent trip and return from Louisville, Kentucky, where we attended the Annual meet of the National Negro Press Associ- THE OLD HOME TOWN Topeka, Kansas, where we were reared, was our next stop and a right royal welcome awaited us. The Hon. Nicodemus Chiles, far famed fighting editor, who made the "Topeka Plain-detier" famous, headed a committee of leading citizens of the Kansas Capital which left no stone unturned to make our visit to the old home town a memorable one and from the time we struck town to our leave taking there was something doing every minute of the time. On the second night of our stay an old timers' star was staged at which reminiscences of days gone by were in order and from all stations friends of many years standing were present to participate therein. There were presen men in all walks of life including the plain everyday average citizen, doctors, barristers, professors, statesmen and etc. VISIT TO VOCATIONAL SCHOOL On the next day we were the special guest to the great Kansas Vocational College located just outside the city proper on which occasion we addressed the faculty and students of this great institution. We received a flattering reception and were much impressed with the progress of this wonderful institution. Under the masterful guidance of President Richardson this school is marching on accomplishing great deeds for the youth of Kansas and for others throughout the country. Other functions too numerous to mention were arranged for us. We are publishing a clipping from Topika papers which will give a slight idea of the various events arranged. MEN OF TH EHOUR We could not pass the opportunity to mention, a few of the men whom we met who are in the public eye, and who spared no inconvenience to make our stay a pleasure. C. C. Lyle, Deputy Insurance Commissioner for the States of Kansas, life long friend and most efficient, brilliant, insurance Commissioner, who has earned a most enviable reputation of all others Continued on page six Exhonerated Sentenced For Coming To Aid Woman (By A. N. P.) Hasselhurst, Miss., May 9-J. L. Busels was arrested on a charge of selling whiskey, and was fined five hundred dollars and sentenced to six months on the county farm. Meredith Busels, a brother, was at a nearby house when the arrest was made. Hearing a woman scream for help, he grabbed a gun and ran to the Busels home. On finding the officers there, he surrendered and gave up the shot gun. A charge was made against him for carring concealed weapons. He was fined five hundred dollars and given five months on the county farm. Kiddies Minstrel Goes Over Big Monday evening the Kiddies Minstrel attracted throngs of show-goers, interested parents and friends of the kiddies to the Philharmonic Auditorium. For many seasons Mrs. Lauretta Butler has caused the directors and sponsors of shows and entertainments to visit the Kiddies. Here is asset being the raw but flexible material found among little unsophisticated children. She has developed them from awkward, shy, stuttering, soft trembling voices, fearful babes into confident, clear-toned comedians, singers and dancers. Each child did its parts well and the audience responded so enthusiastically that nearly every child had to do their part over again to satisfy them. Those that did so well that they were overworked, and who called forth the prediction that they would some day be classed among the stars of the show would, were: Harold Clark, Charlee Irwin, Delmas Loup, Dorothy Webster, Dorothy McDaniels, Chickle Jackson, Althea Pollock and Janette Dancey. There are others deserving of mention if space premitted. The impersonation of the Japanese Geisha girls was good. The stunts presented by Leo Darcy were especially fine. The last chorus presented, Beautiful," would make any chours found around town—unneasy. Big Sale At People's Dry Goods Store Mr. P. E. Levin, representing the F. N. Almstead and Company, merchandizing sales specialists, is conducting the big sale at the People's Dry Goods Store, 901 Central Avenue.

The ado of flower shops and candy stores keep shrieking this at me. Mothers day—and I wonder of you have only one day in a year? Just one day for a mother, a mother who has brought you into a world, a mother who has watched over you, prayed over you all these times. Surely, my mother, you should have not one day, but three hundred and sixty-five days for all the things you have done for me. You have sacrificed more than I shall ever know. You have prayed more prayers than I can have ever tell, you have worried more than I have ever thought, and I have such poor ways of showing the gratitude that I feel, of the love that I have for you. If I were thrifty I might pile money at your feet. If I were a poet, I might sing wonderful songs for you, but I am not these. I can only write you my mother and try to say to you how tremendously much I am conscious of what you have done. I can only hope that you will understand a little how helpless I feel to repay your devotions. I can only hope that you may know many more Mothers' Day. That they will be happy for you. Happier than some others you have known I hope. I can only be he that I will be worthy of all the love that you have felt of all the confidence you have in me, for me of the hopes you will hold for me, I can only hope that in the future I can only hope that in the future when time shall have brought me more, that I can find better things than idle words to send you on Mother's Day. But if it should happen that I can never do for you, things that I would you will always know that I dreamed beautiful dreams of what I wished to do. You will know that it was not that I did not love you enough. Even though I fail to show it sometimes. Perhaps love, after all is better than gold or silver or fine linen. And if love is so valuable, I bring you great gifts on Mother's Day, my mother. LOREN A copy of a letter to a mother from her son. NEW MASONIC LODGE IN MAKING BY: E. L. DORSEY Last Saturday night, April 28, Masonic Hall, near Central avenue on 50th street, was crowded and jammed to the doors with Master Masons assembled together to initiate the first unit nigh unto 200 candidates into the Order. This new membership which has for its purpose the establishment of a new lodge, is composed of as distinguished a group of men from all walks of life, as it would be possible to find. FATHERED BY J. B. BASS The very experienced and wide-awake editor of the California Eagle, conceived the idea of the forming of this new Lodge and was granted the permission to do so by Grand Master J. H. Wilson. Mr. Bass enlisted the service of Mr. A. H. Lee, prominent business man, to assist him. The result speaks for itself more eloquently and forcefully than any words can portray. Mr. Bass is now president of the new Lodge and Mr. Lee, its secretary. Therefore, last Saturday night, was both an inspiring and impressive combination. Considered a great success. Continued on page six On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. ON last Wednesday morning, Mrs. Lela O. Murray called to our attention the fact that the case of a Dorothy Summers, (colored) found wandering in the vicinity of Westlake Park, eating from garbage pails and sleeping on door steps, would be called in Judge Bullock's Court, presided over by Judge Frederickson. Accompanied by Mrs. Murray, we went to court and appealed to the judge in behalf of the woman and the case was dismissed. Dorothy was turned over to us. Thanks to fate a woman in the court gave Dorothy a chance to make an honest living in her home as a servant. This case among the many that come, from time to time, before us, as a reminder that some action must be taken in behalf of homeless and friendless colored women and children. Let us cease from chasing shadows and get down to business. WE are standing pat on what we said about the scheme of segregation of Negroes at the Baltimore Hotel in honor of the New City Hall dedication. We are sorry that so many people have tried to interpret our article to suggest that the two ladies present were among those we classed as political bosses and shared in the plan or segregation. To those who so think, we wish to say that we had no such thought. Both ladies mentioned are our friends, have had, and we hope always have, our respect and esteem. We believe that they, like ourselves were victims of the circumstances surrounding the conditions which we stated in our last issue. I SEE no reason why Negroes should be for Herbert Hoover, simply because he is a Republican. How soon the professional politicians make us forget. They are telling us that Hoover has already made a good start by breaking down segregation in departments of the Government in which Negroes and whites are employed. Well! We say that this is a perfectly wonderful start for Mr. Hoover as far as the race is concerned, but then, this is before. What about after, is the question we rise to ask—— President Coolidge too, started on his presidential journey making us feel that all would be well for the Negro. He, however, like most of his predecessors, soon forgot and the old means and methods of Negro segregation and discrimination went on its devastating journey without protest from "Lincoln's Party"——and we opine that it will ever be thus so long as the Negro buys and sells in politics. Negroes have suffered. They are acquainted with grief from without and within, but to my mind the greatest grief of all is he fact that we have traitors within our own ranks who are ready to sell us to the party or political organization that offers the best bid. We want to be clearly understood; we are neither declaring for nor against Mr. Hoover. We are only stating some facts as we see them. HENRY HAS BEEN ACTING SO STRANGE SINCE YOU ARRIVED MARGARET I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM AT ALL SH- HERE HE COMES NOW GREETINGS, LADIES GROFF HAYES- Page-Tcn ANU DA LOS ANGELES, FRIDAY, MAY THE BLACK SPORT WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART Johnny Adams. San Bernardino welterweight fighters Frank Forbes in his home, in a ten-round main as we go to press. Adams was to be matched with Jackie Fields, but they could not come to terms because of weight. Johnny is rapidly gaining weight and will soon weigh around 150 lbs. He fighters Forbes at 148. Adams has made rapid strides in his come-back efforts, having whipped Billy Hoon in a fast ten-rounder and fought Bobby La Salle to a stand still for a draw. Many who saw the fight say Johnny should have had the decision. Adams is in fine shape, as he is training every day and he prevails to be the favorite when he steps in the ring to battle Forbes. The San Bernardino Mountain Lion can lick most anything his weight, when he is in condition, but that's his main trouble, keeping in shape. The Lion should be right this week. --- Baby Sal, featherweight of 'Ber'do' added another victim to his long string of K. O.'s, when he dropped Red Stephen in two rounds at Main Street, Saturday night. Sal has been going like nobody's business lately, having put Johnny Williams out in two rounds and Johnny McCoy, former bantam weight champ in the same number, and now he K. O.'s, Red Stephen in two. Baby Sal is working himself back into the big time and from all indications the "Fighting Mex" is due for another shot at Mike Walters and Jimmy Pilla. "Chalky" Wright, featherweight of 'Berdo' is fighting like a champ now a-days. "Chalky" is just a young kid 18, and has had about five fights, and lost only one to a boy that outweighed him 12 pounds. Put Wright in the ring with someone his own weight and he will do the clean-up act. He battled Val Martini on the card in an Bernardino last Thursday and stole the show, along with the decision. The kid should go far in the game with the proper handling. LONG BEACH HI-TRACKSTERS A. So, California school won the Annual State Meet last Saturday. Long Beach HI turned the trick. They barely nosed it L. A. HI, their closest rivals. L. A. was doped to win. Glendale from whence the great Wycoff halls, was third. Frank Lombardi, sensational sprinter from L. A. HI again defeated Wycoff in the 220-yard dash. They tied in the century; also, equaling the world's mark held by Drew, Paddock and others of 9.3. Our own three participants won their places. Sylvon Creecy placed second in the broad jump, where the State record was shattered. Tall Darby Jones, from Pol-Tec, also figured in a record breaking event. He tied for third place in the high jump. Mazzeda West, who with Creecy upheld Jefferson's end, placed third in the 220-yard dash. That counts them, folks. Well done boys! Creecy, figuring from his work is almost a dead cinch to win the broad jump next year. STARS; JEFF BEATS POLY Sylvan Creecy, star broad jumper of Jellyn, took onto himself additional laurels, when he starred in the game against Polly. He is rated on the best catches in the league. His hit batting average equals the best. In this game he got 4 hits out of five times at bat. HENRY HAS BEEN ACTING SO STRANG SINCE YOU ARRIVED MARGARET ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened THE COMMENTATOR STAGE AND SCREEN Help! New Chorus Steals Encores The big question before the Lincoln Theatre fans, who waited with abated breath the premiere of the "Dixie Brevities" was, how will the new chorus appear? This question has been very favorably answered in the universal affirmative-GOOD! They dance-oh boy-right out of this town! And are they good looking? My, My! Using all of the up to date expressions, they're hot, tight, keen, and possess a personality that can't be beat. Did you ever a chorus take encores? No? Well, see this one. The team of Broomfield and Greely is without doubt, the cleverest people of any race seen hereabout. They sing and dance—and how! Lottie Gee and Edith Spencer, get away with a big start in their little song due, nearly stole the play, it was a rare treat! They also did a single which was splendid. These comedians, Amon Davis and Galli DeGason, put Bilo to shame. They are there folk, that's all there is about it! Miss Helen Hawkins is a blues singer that's hard to beat. And besides, that, she can dance—I mean dance! Now about Slater and Miller, the producers; yes they are actors. Slater sang some numbers that, in addition to making the ladies' hearts flutter, went over big. The whole show really went over BIG. Mosby's Blue Blowers were there and succeeded, in spite of this new show, to attract the attention of the fans sufficiently to let them know that they were there, but what about the rest of the orchestra, especially the violin? But remember that this theatre located at a prominent place along Central Avenue, which is the principal street where our people throng it is our best. Many come here to pay respects to our actors. They are all high grade stars and the plays are expected to remain high class. would be better to tone down on some of the suggestive jokes. The people will resent bring them here in this their best neighborhood theatre. Some of these low cracks are not fit for some of the low dives along Main St. Again, the boys get a break with the William Fox Co. This time, Floyd Shackelford, of considerable screen fame, and big Jim Anderson, do a "bit" for Director Howard, in "The River Pirate." Last week we mentioned that seven of the gang shook down a couple of days for this same Studio, in the same picture. We also stated that more work would follow. It has, and will continue to do so. Rumor has it that Floyd Shackelford and Eli Reynolds have been selected to work in a United Artist Film, the first starring Vilma Banky. This will certainly be a break for these two. They, like the rest of us, have been very conspicuous along poverty row. JIMMY SMITH is back. That's news to many of the old gang in pictures. Jimmy's one of us, even though he does prefer the casting end of the game. Welcome home, Jimmy, hope to see you along the row soon.

The larger question of the introduction of foreign musicians was discussed only a few days ago by the Prime Minister (Mr. Bruce), the leader of the Opposition (Mr. Charlton), Mr. W. M. Hughes and other influential politicians, as well as members of the Musicians' Union. The union's request for a restriction on the introduction of Colored musicians to this country was sympathetically received by the Prime Minister. It has been learned that the entry into this country of Colored boxes will probably be the subject of review at an early date and it is extremely doubtful whether the Government in the future will permit the en- To: Mr. Sonny Clay, R.

(Ex clisive)—Motor busses in the Unites States handle more than 2,000,000,00¢ Passengers annually, not counting 300,009,000 children passengers trans ported to. schools, George P. McCal jum. vice-chairman of the motor bur division, American Automobile Aéso ciation, told the Senate Finance Com mittee recently in urging the repeal of the war excise tax levy. “The motor bus is a public utility and it isn't right that its early devel: opment as a necessary economic fac. tor should be handicapped by heavy governmental penalties when other transportation agencies are encourag: ed, even to the point of a subsidy.” the sportsman for the bus division de. clared. Mr. McCallum stressed the follow: ing points in support of his plea for vepeal of this hangover wartime levy: 1) That when it was levied in 1917 bus transportation was either by_re- yamped motor trucks or enlarged pas: sengr cars and no one dreamed that it would become an essential part of the nation’s transport system. (2) Today it is possible" to. reach every part of the country by motor bus and 44,500 units operate over 263,- 000 miles of routs on Tegwar and fre quent schedules, in adtition to36,000 other busses used by schools. (3) That the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, who has termed the auto- mobile as a luxury, could certainly not refer to this important transportation system in euch a manner if he were familiar with its progress and growth, 4) That the industry cannot bope to meet expansion needs if | is to be continued under a tax burden of be: tween $28,000,000 and $30,000,000 an- nuslly. ‘The vice-chairman of the A. A. A. bus division called attention of mem- bers of the Senate Finance Committee to the fact that other units of rans- portation, including the railroads arid pipe-line carriers, were relieved of all emergency wartime taxes as early as 1922, “The bus.” he continued, “is how one of the greatest. and most necessary of our public utilities, and should not be forced to carry the, han- dicap of a just war burden, but most decidedly unfair levy in. peacetime.” ~ Mot ‘or Replacements certain original units with light- weight parts.

Phillip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the strike vote now being taken throughout the country will force. President Coolidge to intervene with a view to preventing an interruption of Interstate Commerce. Under Secton 10 of the Railway Labor Act, which was enacted by Congress, and signed by President Coolidge, the President is required to appoint a fact-finding body or Emergency Board whenever the United States Mediation Board recommends same. As a result of its determination of the existence of an emergency among a section of railroad employees as a result of the strike vote. Randolph points out that the action of he Presiden in his case will serve as a very valuable precedent for the Pullman Porters who will be calling upon the Mediation Board to step in and determine the state of emergency in the next few weeks, as the strike votes are coming in rapidly. N. Y. RAIL LINE TO PUBLISH CALIF. PHOTOS The 170,000 employees of the New York Central railroad are to be familiarized with California through an extensive picture layout that will appear in the magazine published by this company. These photos were furnished by the all-year club. Their use in this way is part of the New York Central's plan to have all the companies employees posted on California, so as to intelligently answer the thousands of queries being received in the east about the Golden State. NORTHERN PACIFIC INAUGUR RATES 68-HOUR TRAIN SERVICE Sunday the Northern Pacific Innaraud a 68-hour passenger train service between Chicago, settle and Portland. The train will be known as the "North Coast Limited", the equipment will consist of standard pullmans, diner, club and observation car. On its initial trip the luxurious observation car that was used on the royal reception car for queen Marie of Rumania when she made her recent annual tour, the new schedule reduces the running time between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest two hours. SPEED PACIFIC COAST PACIFIC COAST CITIES were brought closer together Sunday, when a new fast train schedule of the Southern Pacific went into effect. Speeding up or service between San. Francisco and the Northwest, an hour was cut from the running time of the de luxe Cascade. The Shasta leaves San Francisco on the same schedule but will reach Portland 15 minutes earlier, the Oregonian's schedule was cut 25 minutes, the Coach Special heretofore operated three times a week will be run daily. A cut of 15 minutes affects the Gold Coast Limited between San Francisco and Ogden, and 25 minutes from the Taboe. You can't hesitate because this will be an event you will appreciate—The Second Annual Frolic of the Dining Car Employees. HERE ANR THERE C. A. Miller Superintendent of the Pullman Co. of the Kansas City District was shot while sitting in his office in he Union Station in Kansas City Wednesday. Mr. Miller is hovering between life and death. Business Cars 100 of the Union Pacific and Number 12 of the Missouri Pacific left Friday after having spent several days in the city. Will Haines Porter in Charge on Car 12 is a veteran on that line and has a host of railroad friends on the coast. New Central cuts the running time of "Century," and "Wolverine." Limited. Fred Massey of the Northwestern was a pleasant visitor last Monday. Fred is rounding out a 12 month service career with this great system, ordinarily six months is the limit with this globe trotter. Earl Fields continues to enjoy his leave of absence, but these days that we have had with us the past week, causes this giant to crave for the mountains and fishig pods that he Hates so well. If you want to know what its all about, keep your eye on this paper, a real treat, worth waiting for—The Car Employees. The only thing that keeps most railroad boys from marrying is that most girls say that he must be able to lay the world at her feet. A. HudsonH on the Los Angeles Limited says that from the way passengers are tipping these days, they must think that the porers got heirs in he days of "49" S. H. Burnett, one of the veteran porters of this district was selected to accompany the A. M. E. Delegation that left on the "Apache", Wednesday Owing to Mr. Burnett's ability to handle special parties accounts for his selection 2. Emmet Avanti of the Omaha district, was an overnight visitor looking the flapper field over during his short stay.

"Tune into of smile and make life worth while" with the Dialing Car Employees, at their second Annual Frolic (Watch for the date). Wm. (Bill) Geer was forced to abandon his car upon reaching Omaha Thursday, on account of the serious illness of his father. William was called just a few months ago to that city to the death bed of a brother. Wm. Lomack enroule to L. A. on his last trip on the Gold Coast Limited, remained in Omaha to see the sights. Rumor that swing men on trains 27 and 28 are listed for the scrap pile. (This of course ammunates) from no other source than our Baker Heater Committee.) SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOPE Eddie Hays continues to tighten the strings on his bank roll. He sleeps the entire day in order to carry out his economical programme. Eddie Williams says that after May 13th, all the boys will have had time to be supplied with their straws, although Eddie Hays is expecting his to arrive from dear old New Orleans. (By what route this dapper expects it to come we are unable to say.) F. Scales has turned his attention to a burning desire he has been nestling for some time to catch a transcontinental run labeled "Chicago Limited." Stranded Robinson continues to sing em (Just a habit). The Owl diner 10085 transferred to Diner 10125, the 10085 will replace the 10024 on the "Lark." C. Gilmore and Eddie Farrell snapped out of their regular routine Sunday morning and attended morning service at 24th and Griffith Ave. (Well Eddie did remember the text.) Dining Car Cooks and Waiters Frolic The busy season is just over the hills for the railroad boys and those three painful words "Let Me Have" will be put in storage for the summer. Vivian Snowden transfers from the Apache to the Argonaut, (Vivian says that a change is good some times) Diners on the "Californian" are scheduled o go to Kansas City on the 15th (Unofficial). Ed: Ponder who operates on the Lark has resumed his duties on this fashionable train recovering from an illness that forced him to be under the care of a physician. Fred Herron and Walter White, Day light Limited boys, upon reaching the city last evening from San Francisco, walked to 25th and Central. (Just a little exercise to pass the time away). Penny De Cuiir is singing em about too much lay over. (You can find a little more lay over on the B. and U. SANTA FE SIDELINES The Fred Harvey System has contracted with the Somerville Hotel for a period of 3 years for quarters for their dining car employees this palatial hotel will be the best quarters for any railroad employees on the coast. Mr. Chas. H. Williams was awarded a prize or $200 for the naming of the Regal Theatre located at 47th and South Parkway out of a number of 120 contestants he was awarded this prize. Mr. Joe Copeland will be absent this trip on account of the Santa Fe Waiters' Ball to be given at the Savoy Ball room. Mr. Copeland was selected to manage the event. Mr. Lenwood Black is raising cane because he had to miss two trips coming to L. A. Vann's Attack on Brotherhood Arouses Porters In the issue of the Courier of April 28th, Vann attempts to explain his eleventh hour alarm over Randolph being a Socialist and the leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. This last statement is as loose and superficial, unsound and ridiculous. Mr. Vann presents the pitiful and pathetic spectacle of a man hopelessly confused and confounded over an issue with which he is lamentably and utterly incapable of handling. Dumbfounded and amazed at the bitter denunciation he has received from the porters themselves because of his hypocritical pretense of trying to help them, while it is obvious that his action cannot fail to injure them, he proceeds to call names as a means of diverting attention from his culpability in playing into the hands of the Pullman Company by trying to force my resignation on the grounds that I am a "dangerous radical". Having permitted the Pullman Company to jockey hires into an embarrassing position with respect to the fight of the Pullman sorters and maids for the right to organise, a living wage, decent hours of work and better working conditions, and having been exposed before the world as having made a grape error of either head or heart, he raised all sorts of extraneous, irrelevant and immaterial matters with a view to muddying the water in order that he might escape from public censure and condemnation. Who will be the fortunate girl to be chosen to be Miss Parkridge? Whoever she is there is a small fortune awaiting her, not to mention the splendid opportunities that she will have-for a public career. First of all she will receive a $1,500 Founders Membership in the Parkridge Country Club which includes a beautiful lot and cabin on the magnificent Parkridge estate; a regal country home to spend the week-ends and a piece of valuable property. Then comes $500 in cash. That's going to be hard for some girl to take. Then comes a week's engagement at the Lincoln Theater.

Phone Oakland 2439 intimating my opposition to them, as though, even if true; this had anything to do with his attitude toward the Brotherhood. He seems to wince and smart under the charge which I made that there is a colored gentleman in the wood-pile somewhere. While I have not said who that colored gentleman is, I repeat that he is there and whoever he is, the Brotherhood will smoke taint out. In Mr. Vann's latest tirade against the Brotherhood and myself there are no pertinent issues raised, he simply sails deliciously on tangents that are beside the question. His hallucinations about my being a radical have made the cynical laugh and the judicious grieve. Few people imagined that he was so credulous as to think that the ability of labor organizations to write contracts with employers depended upon the politics of the leadership. His printing the letters from Rev. Jernigan and Mr. Pickens commending his Open letter to the, Pullman Porters doesn't mean anything, since neither of these men has the slightest knowledge of the facts in the controversy, however well meaning they may be. Why doesn't Mr. Vann print the bushel of letters or more he is receiving from Pullman porters? The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters will march on despite the weak and wicked effort of Vann to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery, and his long support of the organization makes his present betrayal all the more reprehensive and tragically disgraceful for himself. What Mr. Vann ought to do now is to come out like a man and acknowledge his mistake. There is no other way by which he will be able to retrieve his position and secure the good-will of the public. He is foolish to act the part or an African ostrich and bury his head in the sand or a few letters from persons who are not acquainted with the issues and whistle himself into, believing that all is well when he knows that he has made the greatest mistake and biggest blunder of his entire life, one which he will never be able to live down unless he makes the proper expiation now. He will then simply stand before the public as one who has used extremely bad judgment on an extremely momentous issue. Of course, it will take a long time for the people to rebuild faith in his judgment again, granting that he has the manhood to beg the Brotherhood if Sleeping Car Porters pardon for his grievous error.

R AND LIGHT GELES Railway Officials Refuse To Arbitrate Railway Officials Refuse To Arbitrate Kansas City, Mo., April 30.—The creation of an Emergency Board appointed by President Coolidge under power granted by the Railroad Labor Act to settle the dispute between the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad and take employees has aroused intense interest here in that the case is identically the same as that of the Pullman Porters. By reason of the refusal of the railroad officals to arbitrate the dispute the employees took a strike vote and declared that after May 1st, a "state of strike" would exist. The United States Mediation Board took action immediately by sending Ex-Gov. Edwin P. Morrow to Wichita, Kans., and an Emergency Board of five persons was appointed to investigate the dispute and to render a final decision within thirty days. The national headquarters report a total of 5074 ballots received from districts east and south voting for the strike and 26 against it. Eighty-six per cent of the Kansas City porters have voted already. Thirty-nine ballots received are from non-brotherhood men. CAMO HAIR CO MARCEL WAVING A Mrs. ADA ROSS, Pres.

MU. 4174 THE JACKSON NURSERY To American Pressmen And Others Whom It May Concern --- March 30, 1928. This is to certify that little notice should be taken of Australian press remarks concerning an incident in Melbourne where it was alleged that members of the Sonny Clay Band had staged a party with several white girls, at which disgraceful scenes had taken place. The facts are as follows: In the court case which followed the magistrate dismissed the evidence of the prosecuting detectives and discharged all concerned. This meant that the Negro musicians had been arrested on a mistaken charge, and that they had not transgressed the bounds of the law. However, the Australian press, having strong view on the color question, seized upon the incident as a good story and wrote the incident up until they reached the borders of the persecution and victimization. There is more behind the case than meets the eye; and there is more than a suspicion that the whole affair was a frame-up against the Negroes. Only five members of the Sonny Clay Band were concerned in the incident; five of the remaining twelve members being members of the A.E.F. and possessing excellent war records. Yet all shared the inevitable publicity, in the face of the trade or press criticism, the management had no alternative but to send the company back to the United States; but I wish to state that it is thought that Sonny Clay and his bandmen have had a very raw deal, and one which we have had no power to offset or rectify. As far as the Tivoll Theatres are concerned, the conduct of the members of Sonny Clay's Orchestra has always been faultless, and there can be nothing but sympathy for the company in their unfortunate position.

California Toy, Sporting Goods and Camping Goods Association to be held in Los Angeles May 7 to May 12 inclusive, will see one or the most comprehensive exhibition of the sort ever gotten together in the Southwest. This is the declaration of Sidney J. Beer, general manager, who has just completed plans for the event. The show will be located at the Los Angeles Warehouse Building No. 7 at 324 North San Pedro St., Los Angeles, the expense to the exhibitors being merely the cost of installing the booths. More than fifty manufactures and manufacturers' representatives from points all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast have contracted for exhibit space and the merchandise shown will be the best and latest designs. Nearly 100 lines of toys alone will be seen, among them new features such as educational novelties yacht models and indoor games including electrical lines. Both the camping and the sporting goods will be quite as well represented, according to Mr. Beer, and no effort will be spared to make the entire event of practical value to the buyer. Indications point to an attendance of not less than 1,000 buyers, it is said. Various special features are being among which will be daily talks by well known experts along lines of interest to the visitors. Distribution cost and the good methods of successfully distributing sport, stocks for filling orders for immediate delivery are some of the subjects to be discussed. Entertainment features also, have been given careful consideration and the visiting buyer and his family and friends will be extended the courtesy of free theater tickets and trips to the famous Catalina Island. A monster barbecue is being planned for Sunday, May 13, immediately following the close of the fair. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Beer for installing radio equipment on the exhibit floor to permit the reception of daily programs. Radio broadcasting stations will also send car information regarding daily developments at the fair, according to present plans. Widespread publicity in connection with the fair has already been given through the medium of trade journals in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco and other important cities.

Why Airport Bond Measure Failed BY: R. G. LaMAR Secretary Federated Voters League No substantial argument has been, nor can be advanced as to why the airport bond did not carry. But to the contrary, many well founded reasons why they should have carried must be very evident to the unprejudice mind. It is my opinion that the two factors which figured in the defeat of the Bonds were: first, overconfidence on the part of those handling the same; second: a lack of information on the part of the voting public. Yes, the Bonds should have carried overwhelmingly. The proposition should be re-submitted to the people at the earliest possible date, preceded by an intelligent and systematic campaign of education. housing Inc., and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce are cooperating to make the week a success. Hearty support has been given by the Los Angeles department stores. It is planned, according to Mr. Beer, to make the fair an annual event in order that dealers in the three lines located in the trade territory contiguous to Los Angeles may have the same advantage of access to the last est merchandise now enjoyed by eastern firms. ```markdown ``` Save Money on Yellow Cab Ride COUPON BOOK $10.00 YELLOW CAB CO.

We wished that many more might have heard Pastor Griffith's sermon on the subject; “What does the Holy Spirit do for a Christian.” He showed how the Spirit of the Lord is promised to all believers and named seven definite things which the Spir- it does for them. He said he was only naming a few of these things. He called attention to he many errors of interpretation and instructior which are abrond, and shewed how that all Christians should know more of what the word says on this important doct- rine. As usual We had out an excellent crowd for the communion service at night. The pastor preached at night on “The Uplifed Christ,” and many were impressed with the solemn ser- vice made so largely by the beauti- ful strains of the old songs on the pipe organ. Both the Sunday School and the B. Y. P. U. had interesting sessions last Sunday, The reader is asked to look for the announcement of next Sunday's ser- vice in another column. 1267' E, 26th St, City ee oe eee, ‘The first work in the order of the Creator and Creation ix Light taking form bringing out of darkness and matter, shape, atder and discernmeny of things as they are.

This is due to the fact that it is now one of the primary activities of the Department of Eda- cation, a newly created office in tle national orgsnization of Alpha Phi Alpha. By a careful process of selec: tion the national organization has ef- fected the appointment of men of known ability and prestige to take care of the campaign in the various states. These officers are working un- der the direction of the Director of Education of the fraternity and have been provided with all necessary fa- cilities for the movement in their states. The locel chapter, bowever. will Jaunch its campaign the week of May 20th including May 27th. This is neccessary because of the difference inthe school canander here and else-_ where.

The Black Man of yesterday has been a rolling stone and has gathered no moss. For 65 years the Negro has been camouflaged and it is believed that some of our political leaders have been selling out for a bag of pop corn. The New Negro of today is going to set fire to the "nigger" that's been hidden in the wood pile and make him crawl out. The poems that Mr. Brunson writes will be a key that will open the hearts or all mankind. Hear the call of the drums? Over the sea its echoing comes. Calling you to lend a hand To upraise your fatherland. Come back to thine own— There's pleading in the drum's deep tone— Come! Oh men, break the tyrant's relax. They hold our land in bondage chains. Whose back are seared with whiplash crease?— Yes, we are men—now weak in power. Put time draws near our stronger hour. The way to the heights for which we yearn. Chaff easy the bit of oppression's rule. For shortly the oppressor shall be too! BLACKMEN! BLACKMEN!!! Heed the drum beats' call. Unchain your land from the tyrant's thrall.

WE ARE MOVING ON Some of our institutions w the patronage of the colored themselves and are as a result of power of the people whom of the fact there are concerns doctrine which they preach and this error. Take printing for it has any colored business conc Some of our institutions whose only hope for success from the patronage of the colored people, just keep on kidding themselves and are as a result dissipating the interest and earning power of the people whom they serve. We are well aware of the fact there are concerns which fail to practice the very doctrine which they preach and organizations as well fall into this error. Take printing for instance, and tell us what excuse has any colored business concern, institution of Order which depends upon the Colored people for support to offer, when they have their work done by other shops with plenty of competently manned shops operated by their own group. If they should have any compunction about having their work done at one shop they have others to draw from. This is an age where we are moving on and one hand washes the other and such firms and institutions are weighted down, for there are those who will not preach selling their wares or spreading their propaganda as long as they make it impossible to do so. Only recently we recall a Secret Order in which competitive bids were sought between a member who pays dues in the Order and a large white print shop down town. The shop down town bid 5 cents less and was awarded the job. Shades of the night! common horse sense would have given the job to the member for the man down town did not case particularly for the job and could not become a member thereof and pay any dues in a thousand years. Other lines of effort equally with printers suffer and are not given a square deal, due to the stupidity and utter lack of common horse sense by the firms which rely upon Colored trade in order to survive. ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened BY: W. J. WHEATON Is there a New Negro? There certainly is! They have lost the complex of color inferiority. They don't believe in, neither will they assist in, maintaining separate or Jim-Crow institutions which should render a like service to all. They don't believe in separate hospital service; separate "Ys"; separate places of worship any more than they would advocate separate schools or "Jim-Crow" railroad accommodations. This New Negro does not believe that his color makes him a different animal, therefore refuses to be segregated in separate stalls. This new era of young thinkers have a hard struggle confronting them. Not so much from the conditions, which their tact, courage and militant attitude will overcome, as from the discouragements, as well as denouncements, which they will receive from the fossilized "Tom" who has been unable to keep abreast of the current and still wears the habilitment of mendicancy. Bless you, Mr. and Miss New Negro! But until such time as you can send flowers and these ebonized fossils will neither be able to see their beauty or scent their fragrance, you must expect a rough and a rocky road. For years the white men of Ecuador have exploited those Indians. Abject slavery would be the better word. Brutalities equaling those of the South, United States were of common occurrence. Christian missionaries looked on complacently, seeing and therefore having knowledge of these things, yet, in the meantime seeking to sow the seeds for the fruits of the Gospel of Christ. But the Ecuadorian government has woke up. It has abolished every form of slavery, including the despicable exploitation of the Indian. "Tis sad, if true; and we can hardly doubt its veracity, coming from the source it did. It only shows us the need of its intelligent, thoughtful, aggressive "New Negro." This is the more deplorable, because it is said to have happened in a California city noted for its culture wealth of its wide awake citizens who boast of the length of their sojourn in the State. In commenting on the following episode we place no condemnation on that class of the citizenry other than that of deploring their acquiescence to the condition. The city is one of the few, if any other in the State, which employs garbage collectors who are men of the race. Under that city division is a superintendent and a foreman. The newly elected Council said that the foremanship, now held by a white man, should go to one of the Race—but; shades o the past! there is among that body of refuse gatherers those who refuse to work under a Race foreman. Let's close the chapter. In the death of representative Martin B. Madden, Illinois, the nation, has lost an able Statesman, the Negro a staunch and loyal friend. Congressman Madden represented the 1st Congressional District, Illinois, for nearly a quarter of a century. He was chairman of the powerful Appropriation Committee. At no time was he ever found wanting when his support was sought in the cause of Justice. The nation can ill afford to lose men the calibre of Martin B. Madden. The opressed will miss him; the cause of Justice has lost a pillar of strength. California has had her sling at the presidential preference. Secretary of Commerce. Hoover, had no opposition, in the three-cornered "Demmy" the New York Governor, Al Smith, virtually ran away from his 2 opponents Jim Reed, Missouri and Walsh, Mont. Old timers in the political game say, "What poor showing made by Senator Walsh was no detraction from his popularity, but it was a slap direct at the man who, as his sponsor, headed the ticket for delegate at large. Wm McAdoo. One very aptly put it when he said, "We resent the assumption of any man who because of relation to a late popular chief executive, thinks he can come into a State, such as California and dictate the policies of the Democratic Party." When the party has honors to bestow it will, upon men like "Jim" Phelan, and the men who did not move here to have a fling at being made a president of the United States." So there you are! Race girls and boys who are in attendance at the Sacramento High Schools and Junior College are preparing an educational programme which will be rendered Sunday night, 8 P. M. May 20th, at St. Andrews Church. The public will not be disappointed as the young women and young men comprising the several clubs have combined; concentrated to deliver the results of their scholastic labor. Sierra Lodge of Elks in accordance with their custom is sponsoring the event. The nomination of Oscar De Priest as Republican to succeed the late Martin B. Madden, should be equivalent to election, unless there is a great deflection from the party ranks the next Congress will see a Race Congressman. An astute politician, Mr. De Priest should make a splendid representative, not alone for the people with whom he is affiliated, or identified, but for the nation. Illinois is to be congratulated. It will soon be time for the annual crop of Legislative aspirants to mature. Of course it won't blossom 'till August and be ready for the scythe of the political reaper, Mr. and Mrs. Voter in November. We always like to have a little pre-primary fun. So we are very anxious that some of them would come out for parade. "On The Wing" Continued From Page One in his department. A high credit to Kansas and tothe race, who some day will no doubt be considered for the very head of his department. He has a most adorable family consisting of a brilliant daughter and two sons. He recently had the misfortune of the loss of his helpmate and all Kansas mourned with him. To know him is you to love Charley Lytle. John H. B. Taylor, pioneer Kansan, who has visited Los Angeles on two occasions, was to the forefront in our welcome. You don't meet men every day like the old war horse, John Taylor, who is alive to every issue and always on hand to do the things which go to make the world a better place in which to live. Prof. P. G. Porter, principal of schools of Atchison, Kansas, fifty miles away, came over to attend the reception in our honor. The professor is one of the leading educators of the country and his services are in demand throughout the country. His record as principal for Atchison has worked marvels for the progress of education in that city. Other cities are constantly seeking his service. Dr. Louis Ransom, one of the leading physicians of Topka, is another progressive and enterprising citizen who is moving forward at a wonderful pace. He has a wonderful practice. Dr. Ransom is a true son of his sire, Rev. J. R. Ransom, and has demonstrated his worthiness as an energetic and progressive citizen to the utmost. He has built one of the most prestigious and up-to-the-minute residences in the entire city of beautiful homes and stands to the forefront as a true representative of the race. F. M. Stonestreet, really a pioneer citizen and leading undertaker, one of the staunch and dependable men of Kansas, former city official and stands high in the community as a churchman, fraternal man and all-round citizen. Elijah Scott: West's leading disciple of Blackstone, who has made history in the great Middle West as a defender of the lowly in the courts of the land, and is an outstanding character in the entire country. Others we will mention in our next issue are among those who joined hand, heart and soul to welcome their former townman back to his old home. Prof. Wilkins Receives Ovation On Tuesday evening last, on returning from Elks' educational program where Mr. T. Engene Estes and Mr. Gilbert Allen both advanced pupils of Wm. J. Wilkins received ovations for their wonderful playing, Prof. and Mrs. Wilkins and a number of his advanced pupils and teachers were met at the Piano Academy by Mr. and Mrs. Carl Diton, America's leading Negro pianist and composer, and President of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., and his wife. Professor Wilkins arranged an impromptu program: Mrs. Mabel J. Massengill rendered several vocal solos; Miss Marguerite Robinson sang several of Gilbert Allen's vocal compositions; Mr. Estes, and Mr. Allen played several of Liszt's big numbers; Mrs. Lucille Banton Blayechetli played Coleridge Taylor's "Deep River." After listening to these numbers by Wilkins' pupils with enthusiasm, both Mr. and Mrs. Diton declared the work marvelous and said htey believed Prof. Wilkins to be one of the greatest teachers in this country black or white, and they welcomed the day when all the people of the music world should know of his wonderful work. At the close of the program Mr. and Mrs. Diton were invited to the dining room and were served a Spanish supper which was prepared as a surprise while the program was being rendered by Mrs. Wilkins and Mrs. Massengill. Mr. and Mrs. Diton advised Prof. Wilkins to finish his musical studies here, and go abroad as soon as possible as the race need such men as Prof. Wilkins. Musical and Literary Program At The Congregational Church On Monday evening, May 14th at 8:15 o'clock, the Bibrew Male Quartet will render a Musical and Literary program at the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, corner of Vernon and Hooper Avenues. Mrs. Bibrew herself will give readings, also her brother, Mr. Rex Harris, will appear upo the program. A rare treat is in store for all music lovers of the city.

The Value of Insurance To the person who has never benefited by being indemnified by an insurance Company, it often seems as though insurance is a one sided affair, the benefits all going to the company; however thousands of people every week are being paid for some kind of loss by the Insurance Companies of the United States. A few months ago, Mrs. A. L. Dennis, 1358 E. 109 St., who is the Watts District Agent for the Great American Casualty Company of Chicago, Illinois, called upon Mrs. Sinia Bailey, 11305 Zamore St., and induced her to purchase the Pilgrim Accident and Sickness Policy, collecting $10.00 for the period of one year. Mrs. Bailey was in good health at the time, and did not anticipate ever having an opportunity or collecting on it as she would much rather have her health than the Indemnity guaranteed by the policy. However, a short time after receiving the policy, she became ill with pneumonia. Mrs. Dennis was notified and the case was reported to the Company in Chicago. Upon investigation, the Company being satisfied regarding the justice of the claim, forwarded a draft in the sum of $75.00 to Mrs. Bailey. All of which proves that Mrs. Bailey made a very good $10.00 investment, and that she was fortunate in having Mrs. Dennis bring the matter to her attention. Mrs. Dennes tells us that since delivering Mrs. Bailey's draft, her accident and sickness insurance business has increased considerably; in fact, she finds it necessary to advertise for agents to work under her direction in this territory, as will be noted in the classified columns of this issue.

NEW MASONIC LODGE Continued From Page One night and masonry in California has taken an advanced stand and step forward in the efforts being made by the Order to better the general conditions of mankind irrespective of race or creed. Grand Master J. H. Wilson, along with other high ranking members of the Order, were present and agreed that history had been written and were outspoken in words of praise for the great work accomplished, and congratulated the new members, particularly their leader and the secretary. Following the initiation, a sumptuous repast was enjoyed by all. In addition to the one hundred there will probably be as many more initiated by the early days of June. Therefore the club will remain open for those who seek membership until June 1st, when, on return of Grand Master Wilson from Chicago, another history making event will take place and the Great New Masonic Lodge will truly be on its way with its brand new charter and a name. A new Eastern Star Chapter is in the making as the sister order of the new lodge. For further information see A. H. Lee, the secretary, at 912 Central avenue, or the president, J. B. Bass, 847 Ave. Random Shots on Black History Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library is offering a treat to the people of this neighborhood. On Wednesday evening, May 16, at 8 P. M., Mr. Hugh Gordon will lecture on the subject, "Random shots on Black History".

SAID IN OUR OLD HOME TOWN The following clippings from papers published in the town where we were reared, will give first hand information as to the feeling of the home folks to one of its sons. The first clipping which was run with our cut is from the Topeka Daily Journal and it is said to be the first time a picture of any race citizen had been run in this great daily for many years. The second clipping is from the far famed "Plaindealer", published by the old war horse, Nick Chiles who is not given to boosting anybody in particular, but who saw fit to give to us a right royal reception: "J. B. BASS HERE ON VISIT "Former Topekan is Editor and Owner of California Newspaper "Joseph B. Bass, editor and owner of the California Egale, Los Angeles, and former Topekan, is a visitor here on his way home from attending a meeting of the Negro Press association at Louisville, Ky.

He is to speak to the faculty and students of the Kansas Vocational school Thursday morning. "A banquet will be given in his honor Friday night at the Calvary Baptist Church by the Colored Women's Federated Clubs. Bass is a candidate on the Republican ticket for the legislature in his district in Los Angeles." "EDITOR BASS OF CALIFORNIA EAGLE IS NOW VISITING "Ion. J. B.

"Mr. Bass is a candidate for the Legislature from the 74th Legislative District and his friends say he will be nominated and elected as he is a great asset to the business interest of Los Angeles and the race.

JOSEPH B. BASS, Editor. PARKRIDGE BATHING BEAUTY CONTEST Decoration Day, MAY 30th Negro Women's Club Float—Floats By IDL. Serenly, proudly, majestically, like some winged bird of fairyland perched on high, it glided into view The towering peak of the effigy resting on its back, glistened white and gold in the warm spring sun. From fifty thousand throats, a deafening roar went up, hats were taken off and thrown into the air, hands were clapped and feet stomped as it came by, waited on the air of the sween music of a white and gold and purple band. The people were frantic. As I stood by and gazed on the scene, most beautiful, of what purported to be a model of the new city hall done in golden gree-bellied butterfly, the twenty little brown-skinned girls perched on its sides were as brown spots of all hues, dotted here and there. The larger girl standing on the back, tilted as a fairy, draped in the gold of the sunset, riding daintily aloft it's tail, driving it lazily along by the golden, dilken cords that extended to the peak of the tower on high. I gazed on it. My heart swelled until it hurt. I wanted to shout "Hallelujah" and felt that that might be the same spirit of joy which permeated the good old sisters of the "Ameen corner of my church, when they cried "Hallelujah" and shouted for joy, tears streaming down their cheeks. My heart ached with the fullness thereof, the warmness of the blood that receded from it, flooded my neck and face. I could not shout, my voice came boarse. I felt a sudden breaking up and a rush of hot stinging tears overflowed the teacar ducts of my eyes and tricked down my cheeks. I was not seeing the triumphant sight of the huge jitterterfly down Broadway. I was not hearing the entrancing music that filled the air played by musicians of black, brown high-brown and yellow skinned Elks. I tried to hide my tears, knowing that those around me would not understand, even as I had not understood why those old church sisters had at once cried and shouted for joy. --- Membership At Park Means To You ship in the PARKRIDGE, that You and Each Mem- or enjoy all the pleasures and country Clubs on the Pacific on or interference whatever that You and Your Children children will have a splendid environment, where they co- nts on a plane of equalit own payment and a small drive all this to you.

Kindly register me as an entrant for the MISS PARKRIDGE Beauty Contest at Parkridge Country Club. 3 Friday, May 11, 1928 I was seeing not so much the reality, but the possibilities of the artistic mind and soul of my people; the harmony of the color effect produced by all shades of brown. The beauty of black flashing eyes and those soft brown appealing, of pearly white teeth, unusually attractive when set off by brown bips in the characteristic sudden smile; black natural curls coarse wavy and krinkly curls toned up. I thought of how they had been made to feel ashamed and dishonored because of these gifts of beauty. My mind went back to the butterfly in its embryo; of other similar accomplishments to the glory of my people. I thought of the few who toil all day and half the night to uplift, while others stand by waiting until something has been done in order to despoil it or chill the honor derived. I saw one, the leader who called unto herself all those that would come and give aid. I saw her tossing on her bed, sleepless of nights, building the float in her mind's eye. I saw her of days, stark eyed with the double taxation of personal business and community service, but her eyes were set and her face turned not away. I saw another, one who builds of the material of this mind. He searched his brain and out or it came the model used. Gladly did he give it to the glorification of this people. Another took the, visionary model and made of it a thing material, giving too, freely of his time. Then one came, of artistic mind. He would convert the sharp edges into graceful lines, he would give it color and change it by the workings of his hands into a living thing of beauty. There were those that visualized the pattern by which the children's dresses were to be made and then putting behind the vision many hours of labor, brought them to a material realization. There were those that were here, there and everywhere, doing all that they could in every way that they could to make it a success. I heard the murmurings of protest. I heard the discouraging remark of the ever present "Calamity Jane" and even then I was hearing the Braggard who had done nothing but talk, saying "Wasn't that that fine?" "We made a creditable showing in the parade." Don't you think our float was beautiful? Such is life! I suppose that it must ever be that a few must bear the burden in the heat of the day.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened (By Frank H. Mouser, Former Member of the Legislature) The strength of the nation is not in the guns that are manufactured, the forts that are erected, the air-crafts that are construced, nor the battleships or submarines that are built; but in the mothers. The mother with faith in her God and love in her heart enters into the valley of suffering and pain; ye, into the very jaws of death to bring into the world her little babe. Then, with patience that approaches the divine on earth, she holds that helpless babe at her breast and with the most refined and tender influence in all the world impresses her immoral love. But not alone in the hour of birth, but to the end, when the curtain falls, she holds her life as a ready sacrifice for her boy or girl, and with her hopes and prayers she molds the character of her child into a strong, fearless, and chivalric woman. Shee fills their souls with high hopes and gentle fears; with inspiring thoughts and noble ambitions, and no mother's son or daughter had ever attained an exalted position, save those who learned to walk in the sheltering care of some saluted mother. Sons and daughters of America! Never be ashamed of mother. Honor and revere her. Hold sacred the sillver hair, the furrowed face and those work-notted hands, for you can never repay even a small part of the debt you owe her and of all the great and prestious gifts God has given to us the greatest and most precious gift is Mother.

Mack House, a big, good-natured boy, just arrived at the voting age, has had the most sensational career of any fighter in the West during the two years he has been fighting. Victor of over 30 fights, by one or two round knockouts, he has found it different to find any more opponents. Neil Cisby's about the same age and weight 185 has had practically the same experiences and was unable to find but few opponents on a recent trip East. Cisby has beaten every man he has fought on the Coast with the exception of George Godfrey who lost 7 rounds to Neil before finally winning by virtue of his 35 pounds weight advantage. Two, wins over Mack House came as a big surprise to the whole colony of fight fans and many were the conjectures as to the cause of the "Bear's" loss, many blame them on lack or condition in Mack's case. Since then Mack has beaten every man he boxed and has improved so greatly that he is telling all Central Avenue to bet on him to win. CLISBY BEAT BOB LAWSON TWICE While in the ring with his manager Tom Jones, Clisy fought that crafty, well-experienced fighter Bob Lawson, beating him twice. So the performances o fthe pair during the past year has made the match the most natural "natural" staged in recent times. Although a list of Clisy's battles are not available at this time here is a partial list of the scraps, mostly ending in knockouts that Mack House has been through in the past 18 months: Vic Alexander .. K. O, 2 rounds Al Zeiler .. K. O, 1 round Charlie Seminoff .. K. O, 1 round Harold Easterbrook .. K. O, 1 round Willie Palmer .. K. O, 1 round Willie Palmer .. K. O, 4 rounds Ralph Smith .. K. O, 4 rounds Tom Hawkins .. K. O, Tom Hawkins .. K. O, 2 rounds Clisby, Neal .. Lost, 1 round Clisby, Neal .. Lost, 3 rounds Leon Cheveliar .. K. O, 3 rounds Tommy Randolph .. K. O, 1 round Bennie Hill .. Woh, 10 rounds Joe Lohman .. K. O, 7 rounds George Lawson .. K. O, 1 round Roy Cliff .. K. O, 1 round # Column of the Sport section, but as I have often orated before it is not confined to fighting because of its name taken from two of the most important moves in boxing. To shoot an upper-cut with power and snap right under the chin or to block a right cross travelling straight for your button will often win a fight for you. So it has been our policy to speak right out about anything in this column as an editorial column is the only place where personal opinions should be expressed. So, a veritable flock of opinions come trooping through the editorial brain fog crowding each other for expression. A levy of them follow. After all our hopes, Eddie Gardner will have to be superhuman to pull up into the lead in the few days left to N. Y. Those promoters who write and wire from South America for boxers will recieve you if you pay your own way. Jimmie Smith would have done much better to have remained in the East for with his ability and the opportunities and appreciation prevalent in the east he would had had a much easier time convincing our group that he has the "goods." THE BOXING CLUB MACK HOUSE (The California Bear) Through the opportunities opened by Morrie Cohen at his Pasadena Arena, Mack has by a success of one round knockouts grown to be the biggest drawing card ever shown in the Crown City. He fights Neil Clisby at the Olympic next Tuesday night. MUNDO NO DIA BABY JOE GANS—The Young.Master Who said Baby Joe Gans wouldn't light in N. Y.

Gardner In Press Dispatches For four days in succession there has been no word of Eddie Gardner in the press dispatches reaching here. Below is the latest totaling: Ligosier, Ind.—First honors for the lap went to Guisto Umek of Triekte, Italy. Umek made the 41-mile lap from Mishawake in 5:58:04, making his total elapsed time from Los Angeles 473:11:05. Roy McMurtry, one armed runner from Indianapolis, was second into the control in 6:57:16, elapsed time 536:04 hat. John Stone, Marion, Ind., and William Kerry, Minneapolis, finished together for third place in 7:11:30. Standa's elapsed time is 622:40:40, and Kerrie 472:43:30.

Frankie Burns on Come Back List at Main St. Against Frankie Burns, one of the best men of the weight in the game, Young Brown jin a come-back march, is aiming to add more to his newly earned laurels Saturday at the Main St. A. C. Brown, formerly one of the cleverest boxers in this section, just recently returned to the ring somewhat heavier than his former weight, but showed that had lost none of his cunning or ability to hand out punishment as well as take what is tossed at him. Promoter Carlos Curtis has illud up an excellent semi-windup between two light-heavyweights and as usual the balance of the card is of high order. The card follows: Young Brown vs. Frankie Burns, six rounds. George Trenkle vs. Johnny Barry, four rounds. Benny Marks vs. Carlo Nagin, four rounds. George Savage vs. George Carpinson, four rounds. James Peterson vs. Frank Leonard, four rounds. Wayne Stewart vs. John Aguilar, four rounds. Bruce Flowers Should Challenge Mandell It looks as if Bruce Flowers would be challenging. The winner of this bout between Mandell and McLarnin, and with every right on his side. He has been winning steadily, and when he knocked out Stanislaws Loyza he took a place right close to the head or the parade. Flowers is a good boxer and a sharp hitter. He followed the excellent plan of fighting anyone and everyone until he had established his position among the lightwetts.

Behind The Scenes With The Sports Editor LINCOLN SHOWS MASTERPIECES To, justly review and describe the Lincoln's opening show, (Miller and Slater's "Dilee Brevities") demands the very quintessence of word painting as well as the thorough intimate knowledge of the theatricals so necessary to a critic of the land mimicry lights and illusion. Long experience has brought the writer a knowledge of the gold and the dress in stage presentations so the company now giving the patrons of this beautiful palace of amusement the benefit of gleanings among the choicest margins of the realm of make believe is absolutely the best company that, ever came to the Coast. Mr. Curtis Carpentier feels highly elated at his success in compiling this choice concoction of dazzling femininity and interesting entertaining and talented masculinity. A description of the current show appears on another page of our Sports and Amusement section, but beginning with next issue intimate personal stories of each member of the great company will be told with bits of their past history.

M. C. A. Meet on May 30th at Jefferson Field. Four times during the last three weeks he has negotiated the furlong in less than 22 seconds. He placed third in both the So. Cal. and State Meets, finishing just a yard or two behind the fastest prep sprinters in the country namely, Wykoff and Lombardi. However, he will meet with stiff competition from Rucker, George, and Myles and will have to exert himself to the limit in order to breast the old tame first. The 100 yd. dash should be an even more thrilling race with Rucker, U. S. C. Frosh, holding a slight edge over the rest of the field. The writeb picks Rucker to win this rase in 10 secs, or better. However, George, a Whittier College Freshman, may upset the dope. This boy, as rumor has it, was clocked a 9:3 once this year and the officials made him run the race over. He has done 10 flat consistently. In the recent Fresno Relays, he run 4th to Borah, Draper, and Sweet in a 9:3 race. He is sure to get as much as a second in the Y. M. C. A. meet. Myles, U. C. L. A. a sprint ace, will stand a fair chance of winning if recent inactivity doesn't slow him up. He is good for a third anyway. The writer sees fit to pass up West and pick Dade to place fourth. For three consecutive years Dade has won the Y. M. C. A. century in 10:14. It he had been running regularly this year he would stand a better chance of placing higher. Even at that, he may pull one of his usual surprises and win the blooming thing. BABY GANS FIGHTS IN NEW YORK AT LAST New York, May 8.—Eaby Joe Gans, Negro lightweight of. Los Angeles, was matched to fight Manuel Quir tero, Tampa (Fla.) Spaniard, eight BY: JAMES S. HARRIS. QUESTIONNAIRE E. C.—Space does not permit me to answer your somewhat perplexing interrogation. However, if you care to, I am subject to a personal interview at any time. L. T.—You are indeed fortunate to possess a decent raquet at all from the treatment you say you give it. To get a racket wet and then to let it dry immediately in the hot sun without putting it in a press is sure to warp the racket almost beyond use. Also you might be alarmed as to the breaking of your strings, for there is a natural tendency for them to do so in the high temperature that has precluded here just recently. M. M.—Six games to any player in question comprises an ordinary set. However, if the match is a closely contested one the score in games can run on indefinitely. For instance, if Miss X is playing Miss Y a singles match and the score goes to 5-5, obviously there is a tie. Now in order to play, this tie off, it is necessary that either Miss X or Y obtain two consecutive games more than the other. Therefore if Miss X or Y both fail to do this but continue to alternate in the winning of games then an indefinite score will result. Incidentally, a set has been known to be over 5 hours in duration and the set only terminating after it had reached say possibly the score of 62-60. Any technical point in regard to the game can be obtained preferably through Spalding's Guide. There are any number of good books that are an authority on tennis, however. If the explanations given are incomprehensive, then you may appeal to our body, the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs, who will gladly furnish you an able and capable instructor. All questions for this column must be in the hands of writer at 1401 E. 56th St. by Monday evening of each week in order to be answered in that week's issue. rounds on the preliminary card to the Jimmy McLarnan-Samy Mandel lightweight championship bout May 17.
