BIG BASS MASS MEETING VOLUME 42 Bass-For-Assembly Meeting Proves A Record BREAKER ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING TURNED OUT MONDAY EVENING AT NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Breaking all records for attendance and enthusiasm, the rally put on by the "Bass For The Assembly Club" in behalf of Mr. Bass to win the nomination for the Assembly at the New Hope Baptist Church, proved to be just about the biggest and most enthusiastic gathering of the present campaign and when considering the fact that it was a straight out and out Bass meeting, with not another candidate advertised, it was indeed a most telling tribute paid to the high regard in which the militant editor to the California Eagle is held. MEETING HIGHLY KEYED From the time Attorney Lewis K. Beeks rapped for order, there was not one dull moment. Eloquence flowed, song and numbers were rendered to the edification of all. The veteran attorney from Texas, Mr. E. G. Green opened the proceedings by his delivery of one of those pleasing and convincing addresses in behalf of the candidacy of Mr. Bass; the audience attested their approval by giving to him great applause. Mrs. Charlotta A. Bass received a most flattering reception and made a most eloquent plea for the support of Mr. J. B. Bass. Her speech was replete with forceful and logical reasons for his selection. Her's was a most telling speech and created the greatest of enthusiasm. Miss Thelma Porter recited one of Dumbar's selections to the delight of the gathering. Dr. H. D. Prowd spoke briefly as a courtesy was extended. Harry Levette read an original poem in keeping with the occasion. The candidate J. B. Bass was then presented amidst great applause and he waded right into the subject before him and presented his claims in a manner which cannot be denied. It was a wonderful meeting, a magnificent crowd and a most wonderful send off, which will without question return Bass as the winner at the Republican Primaries, August 28th. Attorney Lewis K. Beeks who presided made a most desirable presiding officer and handled his position with consumate skill. Rev. Dr. W. D. Miller who was scheduled to speak was detained on account of a previous engagement, but will be the principal speaker at the next meeting which will be held next week, look out for announcement of the same.

I—Anxiety on the part of Ernest Henry Bruce Hart, who resides at 726 New Jersey Avenue, to help two exceptionally rural members of the race caused him to part with considerable cash. Hart says that he infect two men at Seventh street and Mount Vernon Place and when they told him that they had just arrived from the South and did not know how to make a deposit of their $1,800, he immediately offered his aid. They proposed that Hart give them one-third of what he had and they would give him their savings. Hart did so, and received in return an envelope which he carried to the bank. Upon being opened, it was found that the envelope was filled with scraps of paper. NOTICE! The Woman's Auxiliary of the N. A. A. C. P. will meet Sunday afternoon, August 5th, at the Y. W. C.

I.—After a hectic drinking bout, two friends, John Gist, 50, white and John Farrell, 24, colored, found themselves in an unexplainable situation, the result of which Farrell is in the Harlem Hospital, suffering serious burns. The two went to Farrell's home on Bradhurst Avenue, where they had a few more drinks. Here some kind of an argument arose and after Farrell had retired, Gist is alleged to have taken a kettle of boiling hot water and deliberately poured it over the prostrate form of his friend. Farrell was so badly burned about the chest, arms, and legs that ambulance physicians thought an operation would be necessary to save his life. Gist was held without bail, after telling the magistrate he had no recollection of the affair. Appointment Of Negro Causes Discussion (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Aug. 1.—Following the recent appointment of Solomon Harper as a representative of the Edison Company, friction has arisen among white salesmen of the same company who seem to resent Mr. Harper's employment. According to reports here, when Harper's customers to whom he had sold large consignments of electrical equipment, called at the office, they were shunted to other companies as the operators would say that they did not know Harper. Despite this, the Apex Electrical Manufacturing Company is standing squarely behind Harper and insists that he be retained by the company and that he not be interfered with. J. F. Kolly, in charge of commercial relations of the Edison Company at 15 Irving Place has the matter under investigation and has promised to go into the matter thoroughly. Gives Up Room; Keeps Key; Takes All Gives Up Room; Keeps Key; Takes All (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., Aug. 1—Robert Love, a former resident of Walter Pride's apartment at 224 West 149th Street, was brought into court here last week on a charge of burglary. It seems that Love had moved from Pride's house to another address, but had retained the keys to the apartment where he formerly lived. One evening while Pride was away, Love entered the apartment and stole Pride's wardrobe trunk, packed all of the dresses and ladies clothing he could find into the trunk and called a taxi and had the trunk removed to his new address. It is alleged that Love stole over $1,000 worth of clothes from Pride's apartment. He was placed under arrest and held without bail for the action of the grand jury. YOUTH KILLS MAN (By The Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 1.—Philadelphia's underworld was thrown into a fever of wild excitement just about twilight when James Jordan, whose age is given as fifteen years, ran south on Thirteenth Street, firing four shots at Amos C. Minor, twenty-three years old. Minor died in the Pennsylvania Hospital with two wounds in his stomach and chest. Jordan confessed to the police that he stole the revolver from the room of Policeman Richard Patton, attached to the 20th and Fitzwater Streets station. The youth was sent to the House of Detention.

Allen for ten years, although he was of Bakersfield, and she in the Bay District, was reunited Sunday night, July 29th, at Calvary Baptist Church, Santa Monica. Mrs. Colling, reading over one of the programs that, was rendered at said church, through the aid of Mrs. Washington, saw where W. W. Allen was on program, so decided to attend and to her great joy she discovered it to be her brother Allen. Mrs. Washington is due some credit, because she picked Mr. Allen among the audience of the Independent Church having sat in front of him and heard him singing with the audience; she asked him for a number on the program. Two of his selections were: "A living God" and "All of God's Children Got Wings". Geo.

Mr. Brown was taken to the hospital and treated and was discharged on Tuesday last. His many friends are busy congratulating him upon his narrow escape. It is rumored that Morris Harris inventor of the Harris Safety First Check has closed a huge deal involving millions. It is stated that while the details could not be given out for this issue, that in the next few days the story of the great proposition will be given to the public, which will be amazing in every detail on account of it gigantic magnitude. (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, Aug. 1.—If the right man can be found, Oscar DePriest, outin front Republican candidate for Congress from the First Illinois District may shortly find himself staunchly opposed by a Negro Democrat. Conferences with white Democratic leaders have disclosed their willingness and, in some cases, their desire to further their party interests in the November election by placing a Negro Democrat on their ticket in an effort to beat DePriest. These white Democrats are now seeking to learn what will be the possible attitude of the Chicago Negro toward the Democratic County ticket at election time. They have the precedent of the mayoralty election of 1923 when Negroes voted large majorities for William E. Dever, the Democratic victor, to indicate to them that situations can be arranged to bring about a reversal of the normal Republican Negro vote. Can what was done in 1923 be repeated in 1928, is the question. Two phenomena that have interested Democrats have been the results of certain straw votes for Hoover and Smith, and the reported wavering and insecurity of the colored Republican leaders. Straw votes gathered in the Negro district have so far given Herbert Hoover a lead of less than ten percent over his Democratic rival, Al Smith. This is significant in view of the fact that straw votes in previous presidential years have revealed the Democratic nominee picking up only the crumbs from the table. John W. Davis in 1924 received between eight and ten per cent, as against forty and forty-five for Smith today. It is apparent that these straw votes disclose an unprecedented amount of good will for Smith that ought to be nursed and used to good effect for the Democratic state and county tickets. SHOT TO DEATH BY SCORNED LOVER The terrific toll of human life at the hands of irresponsible and half morons goes merrily on and it seems no person is immune from their fury. On last Tuesday evening at 1224 East 23rd. Street Minnie Keerzey was shot down in cold blood by a gun in the hands of Marcus Johnson, just because she refused to resume relations with him as her sweetheart. The Keerzey woman lived at the Y. W. C. A. on East 12th. Street. It seems as though in company with Miss Jessie Hardin who lives at 1224 East 23rd. Street. and Joseph Taylor, the deceased and her slayer had been out on a trip to Santa Monica and returned to the Hardin woman's home when a quarrel ensued and the killing was the result. The Keerzey woman was shot three times in the head between the eyes and 2 times near the heart. She was killed instantly and a stray bullet struck Joseph Taylor in the arm causing a superficial wound. The murderer then made good his escape. He is reported as 31 years of age, weighs about 200 lbs., color is brown, gold upper tooth, walks erect; any information as to his wheresbout will be gladly received at the Newton Street Police station. Officers Garrott and Conway have been detailed on the case. LOSES HUGE DEAL Longshoremen Having Internal Strife New Orleans, La., Aug. 1.—An injunction to prevent Joseph Spencer from exercising the duties of president of the Negro Longshoremen's Protective Union, and Benevolent Association, until the title of his office KLAN ORGANIZER DEPORTED (By The Associated Negro Press) Ottawa, Cana., Aug. I—Sitting in the case of James H. Hawkins, klar organizer in Saskatchewan, the Board of Enquiry ordered his deportation The organizer came from the United States sometime ago and his deportation is the result of his activities in the West. Negroes Cannot Vote In Texas Primary (By: A. N. P.) Houston, Tex., Aug. 1. The efforts of W. A. "Gooseneck Bill" MacDonald to influence Negroes to vote the Democratic ticket in the forthcoming presidential election received a setback here Saturday when Negroes were refused the right to vote in the Democratic primary. The refusal was upheld by two federal judges, one in the Western District and one in the Southern District. Federal Judge Duval West, in the western district denied the application of R. D. Evans, Waco attorney, who sought to have a ruling that Negro Democrats could vote in the primary, which was held Saturday. The judge did not pass upon the constitutionality of barring Negroes but based his denial upon "technical grounds." In the Southern District, where a like case was brought before Federal Judge J. C. Hutchinson ruled that the rights of the Negroes who were denied the right to participate in the primary, had not been infringed upon by the present Texas Election Law, which sets forth that "every political party through its State Executive Committee shall have the power to prescribe the qualifications of its own members and shall in its own way determine who shall be qualified to vote" in its primary elections. Those fostering the movement have signified their intention of carrying the case to the Supreme Court. While Negroes will be permitted to vote in the general elections Republican leaders believe that the action of the Democrats at the primary will do much to bring disgruntled Republicans and would-be Democrats back into the fold of the G. O. P. Well Known West Side Contractor Passes Mr. Henry B. Garnett, West Side painter and general contractor passed away at his home, 1376 W. 36th street, early Monday morning, July 23, and was buried in the Smith-Williams Mortuary under the auspices of the Masons, July 28. Father Cleghorn and Dr. T. L. Griffith officiated at the services. Prior to coming to Los Angeles seven years ago, Mr. Garnett engaged in the painting and general contracting business for a number of year in Brunswick, Ga., and St. Louis, Mo. He was a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows. Besides his widow, Mrs. Jane B. Garnett, he leaves a sister, Mrs. Martha Allen of New York, a brother, Robert Garnett of Tallahassee, Fla., and a number of relatives among whom are Mrs. Addle P. Bruce and Miss Etta Purcell of St. Louis, Dr. Wm. R. Carter of Los Angeles and Consul James G. Carter of Calais, France. has been passed on by the court was applied for in Judge E. K. Skinner's division of the civil district court by George W. Forrest who was defeated for the office in an election held recently. Forrest charges that Spencer was found guilty of defrauding the association of sums of money in 1913 and by virtue of this conviction he is not eligible for the office or president. He asked that Spencer be ordered to show cause why he should not vacate the office and why he should not be restrained and enjoined from carrying out the duties of the president. Judge Skinner has ordered the president of the union to show cause on why the demands of Forrest should not be compiled with. On The Sidewalk By: C.A.B. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE UNDER THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WHEN we took hold of the "Eagle," which we afterward changed to the "California Eagle," March 12, 1912, it was with a full realization that the paper was unpopular, and that the editor, J. J. Neimore, a number of years, had been the target at which his own people hurled their prejudices in spite of the fact he had been its most unselfish advocate before the bar of justice in the State of California for thirty-five years. Under J. J. Neimore, the policy of the Eagle was America for Americans regardless of race or color, and may we pause to say, that under the present management this policy still obtains. It is and has never been too early or too late for the California Eagle to stir her nest and come forth in defense of her own group when its interest is at stake. For the enlightenment of the human babbling brook, who chatter as they flow, never stopping to think, we are publishing here an extract from an article written by Atty. Afune McDowel, March 16, 1912 on the occasion of Editor Neimore's death: "It is to Mr. Neimore that the people of this State are indebted for the passage of the Dribler Bill, providing for the penalizing of persons who discriminate, or incite discrimination on account of color, against persons applying for accommodation in hotels, restaurants, barbershops, theatres, and similar places of public resort in California. In securing the passage of this bill, Mr. Neimore made repeated trips to the State Capitol at Sacramento, and endured many embittering rebuffs from his opponents but his peculiar tenacity of purpose would not suffer him to yield. He spent considerable sums of his own money in the cause, and when he finally interested State Senator Dribler in the fight, and helped the venerable Senator to push the matter to a final victory, those among his own people who had opposed him, were conscientiously constrained to seek reconciliation, which he was always most willing to secure. "Had Mr. Neimore done nothing more than struggle thus for his discordant, oppressed people, he would already have erected a perpetual monument to his name, but he always sought to teach that as a race, we should work for the cause of ideal liberty, justice and righteousness, and not for self-interests. He emphatically illustrated untiring persistence, earnestness of purpose, and courage of convictions. He has shown to the world that the son of a slave is not himself a beast of burden, without independent thought, originality, and useful activity. He has won his place among the workers of the age; and now the race is mourning the loss of a truly great man." In the case of Bass vs. Roberts in the 74th Assembly District fight for that much desired seat on the "rung" that Editor Bass so forcefully referred to in his speeches, the management of the "Base For-Assembly" Committee will combat only arguments that are false in word or substance. On last Sunday afternoon at the Forum, Assemblyman Roberts referred freely to his Civil Rights Bill, when, as a matter of fact the bill to which he referred as "hjs" was his only as he had amended what we already had in the way of a Civil Rights Bill raising the same from $50.00 to $100.00 as a minimum for discrimination in public places. Mr. Roberts said that members of Editor Bass' family had been benefited by "his" bill. In 1918, immediately after the close of the World War, while in Pasadena in company with Mrs. Elsie Hollins, we entered a sweet shop by name "Helotis" of the corner of Colorado and Fair Oaks and asked for a glass of soda, whereupon we were refused on account of color. We did not bring suit in the Justice Court in Pasadena, but brought our case to the Superior Court in Los Angeles and sued for $10,000 feeling that this humiliation to tax-paying Americans was worth more than $100, which would not cover attorney fees. Hugh E. Macbeth was our attorney and the case was tried in Judge Stevens' court, where we were awarded $550.00. Anyone doubting the authenticity of this will please call at the California Eagle office and see photograph of check. The other case we fought during Assemblyman Roberts' term or office, was in Ventura County. (Continued on 'Page Six) THANKS EVERYONE!! You have earned IT by buying so well.

Manhattan Avenue New York City Write For Renewable Offer to Agents (By: A. N. P.) New York, N. Y. Aug. 1. Franklin and policeman police an offer to him in Harlem Sunday night which was precipitated by the arrest of John Donald, 2338 Seventh avenue by a white traffic policeman, following Donald's assault on another colored man and his wife in their apartment at 559 Lenox avenue, earlier in the evening. About seven o'clock, Donald with two other men went to the home of Henry Chadis at the Lenox avenue address. All of them apparently had been drinking and they went to Chadis' home looking for another man, said to be a friend of the tree that demanded "Robert." It was in vain that Chadis informed them that no one named "Robert" lived there. They tried to push past him into the apartment and he strove to close the door in their faces. One of the three caught up a hammer which was on the floor and split a panel in the door. Chadis' wife came to his assistance and when the three caught sight of her they seized her and dragged her into the hall. She was then with Donald in pursuit. He夜宿 her on the third floor of the apartment house and struck her, she says. Then she ran into the apartment of a neighbor, darted to an open window and screamed for help. At that Donald ran downstairs and joined his companions, who already were running toward 135th street Patrolman Charles Kubell of the Traffic Squad, gave chase and overhauled Donald at 139th street. As he collared Donald, men rushed from the sidewalk and attacked the policeman. He went down before the charge but blew several blasts on his whistle and also retained his grip on Donald, whom he tried to use as a shield against the kicks that were aimed at him. The comotion drew other colored people from the nearby homes, and Mr. Irwin Johnson, Herman DeStella and Samuel McPadden, all of the West 135th Street Station, ran up, the first officer, Kubell, was buried beneath his assailants. The three policemen dashed into the melee with nightsticks and scrambled across the bodies of those they felled to the side of Kubell and his prisoner. When Kubell regained his feet, the four policemen stood about their prisoner, beating back with their clubs the infuriated mob which tried to overwhelm them and snatch Donald from their graps. Reserves of the West 135th Street Station and the West 133rd Street Station were piled into paired wagons and motor cars and loaded to the scene of the conflict. The police emergency truck from the West 152d Street Station came upon the scene. Two book and ladder trucks rolled up. Sections of Lenox Avenue and 139th Street were completely blocked by the sight. The crowd scattered right and left before the firemen's charge. When the crowd had been split into groups of a few strangler, the four police were still battling with their prisoners in the center of the crowd. The reserves cleared the streets. They found Kuell, Johnson, De Stella, and McFadden and their prisoner severely injured. Donald was taken to Harlem Hospital a prisoner, charged with felonious assault, Mrs Chadis identified him there as the man who had tried to force his way into her apartment and attacked her. Kubel who could hardly walk, was severely kicked by the mob. DeStella had a cut over his eye. McFadden suffered a fracture of the left hand and Johnson a fracture of the right hand. Dermod Bailey of 77 East *133rd street, said to have been in the sight, and who refused to move when reserves swept the street, was locked up in the West 135th Street Station on a charge of disorderly conduct. Magistrate Flood suspended sentence on Bailey in night courts. An extra police force was put on patrol in the neighborhood following the outbreak, maintaining order and quiet in the neighborhood. As the bailiff in said that Donald is in a serious condition and may not recover. After the police were treated for their injuries, they were placed on sick leave, following the commendation of headquarters for the brave action and quick work. (For the Associated Negro Press) Nobody who knows the south is surprised to hear that the governor of South Carolina is endangering to revoke the pardon of Bess Bees and so "save the face" of that state. A white woman had Bess sent to the penitentiary thirteen years ago, for a term of 30 years, on a charge of "rape", although she had been living in adultery with him, under the consent of her husband, for years. Recently this woman, thinking she was about to die, confessed the truth and had Bess pardoned. Newspapers all over the world used her confession as a fair example, indicating how innocent Negroes can be convicted on the word of white people in the South. But—immediately the south was aroused, South Carolina in particular. It would never do to let the world know that a white woman who had sent a Negro to jail on a charge of rape, later confessed that, she had simply been that Negro's paramount, with the consent of her husband, and that she and her husband had decided to frame the Negro in revenge for the Negro's decision not to support the two of them any longer. No, no it would look too bad for the "superiority" pretensions, for the whites to allow a thing like that to occur. And so the state "detectives" got busy. They no doubt threatened to put this weak woman, in the penitentiary. Finally she "confessed" again, that she only meant to "forgive" Ben Bess for what he had "done" to her, not to say he was not guilty. Who in thunder ever heard of any person loking up a judge and witness, and making a voluntary avidafit to "forgive" somebody for something? When one is going to forgive anybody, he does not need to look up anybody but God—and one would certainly not go into a South Carolina court to find Him. No such formality or legal process of avidafit and path is necessary in order to "forgive" a fellow creature. This poor woman, we pity her more than we pity Bess, Perhaps the governor and the civil servant in Carolina might even more. So, the governor decides to revoke a pardon—an inhanced of procedure. The awful case was so much commented on by the whole world that South Carolina's face must be saved, even if this poor weak woman's soul must be damned by another lie. Well, we are not a bit surprised. Rather we have we been looking for this. We wondered how the truth ever slipped by them in the first place. We'll bet those state "detectives" never got wind of the fact that the woman was about to confess, or she'd never have got the chance. A few years ago in Arkansas, a Negro was about to be hung for "raping" a white woman. But a few days before the execution the woman (women are supervised, consecrated) that man wont the governor and told him that, the whole charge of "rape" grow out of the fact that some white men ran across her and this colored man in the act of kissing each other, and that she had acquiesced in the charge of rape to save her own reputation—and that she and the man had been living together for fifteen years and would have been married if they had lived in a civilized state. The governor tried his best to bully her out of this confession, but the woman had been wise in that case; she had gone and confessed to other prominent white and colored people before the governor—otherwise she might have been simply confined as a naughty person because of his unchance. Even then the governor refused to act, and the friends of civilization had to resort to a habeas corpus in a Federal court to save this innocent man's life. The present governor of South Carolina found it impossible, to punish anybody for the breasty triple lynching of a woman and two boys at Aiken, S. C., but the governor is full of righteousness when it comes to punishing poor, beater, robbed, and plundered Ben Beas. By having such dependable officers, many things have been planned for the future, and it look like a very successful term. After old and new business had been discussed, the meeting was adduced to delicious refreshments. BEATS BOY (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., Aug. 1.—Two small children were brutely beaten, one fatally, by Jim Goff, common-law husband of the children's mother, Selma Lewis, in their home Saturday morning. Goff is being held on a charge or murder. According to the police, the Lewis woman left home on Saturday morning, leaving the children the children's mother. Goff, Police, were called to the house at 2:30 P. M. Saturday by neighbors who heard the sound of the beating, and the screams of the children Before police arrived, however, Goff had left carrying the girl wrapped in his coat to the Charity Hospital. Upon arrival there, the girl was pronounced dead. Goff explained to hospital attendants that the child, three years old, had fallen down the stairs, and had suffered her injuries in that manner. He later became the bolt Police, I. Kieran of the Third Product, had arrived at the house in response to the call from the neighbors, and found the boy Buster, four years old, lying across a bed, with blood flowing from an open wound found in his lip, and marks of a severe beating across his back. He was taken to Charity Hospital, by Corporal Kieran, who met Goff and placed him under arrest. Goff, at first denied having beaten the children, but later according to police, admitted that he had beaten with the leash held Police reported that he had been drinking but was not drunk, when he was arrested. Hospital attaches declared that judging from the children's condition, they had been thrown bodily about the room and kicked. A coroner's report attributed the girl's death to fracture of the spinal column. Sunday School.....9:30 A. M. Rév. L. H.

MY OFFICE (at present) AT HOME 1158 East 10th Street Telephone: TUeker 9131 Los Angeles, California No representative should use, chilicery or deceit to deceive any of his constituents to avoid giving a direct answer to a direct question. No one has accused any representative of not assisting to repeal, amend, or to make laws. There was a Civil Rights Bill in force in the State of California in the year of 1901 and 1905. The Civil Rights Bill of 1919 was to amend or repeal the 1905 Bill of Rights Bills. We should amend our act by sending another representative to the State Assembly in the year of 1928. We have waited patiently for a period of 10 years to learn the representative of the 7th Assembly District has pride in himself, officially and no other certain individual that is known of except one individual that received an appointment for a period of 90 days in 10 years. Our share or quotes of appointments in the 74th Assembly District must be too insignificant or of no importance to be recognized by our present representatives and not insignificant to have been Five when the population was much less than it is now. With an increase of the population our quotas have decreased to "one" in the last 10 years. There are Thousands of appointments in the State of California for its citizens that have a living representative to go forward, divided between 120 representatives into 40 State Senators and 80 Assemblymen and we should understand each one of the representatives is there for us to represent and that his constituents are responsible for each and every law passed in the legislature good or bad. And it is presumed each vote cast by our representatives is cast by his constituents. I defy any sane individual to produce satisfactory proof be- Mr. George P. Brown has informed me said representative persuaded him to run for the office of Assemblyman of the 7th Assembly District in the year of 1822 and was told by said representative he would take a vacation until the next term. But to his and their surprise they both met the same day at the same hour and in the same place. They were to nounce their candidacy to the surprise of each other. "Is this statement true or false" It is fresh in the mind of many citizens of our group, that said candidate was man handled on Central Avenue and led to a Billiard Hall in violation of law and order. I have been searching and tried to find in the New Ace Dispatch a statement of protest against being manhandled in violation of law and order, by its editor without success. In the person of Mr. Wood Wilson was found our champion to protest against said violation of law and order after said editor was too weak or modest to protest for being illegally mistreated. My opinion is our representative not having enough backbone to protest against being mistreated himself, he not only was weak but also the front in defense, for any of his constituents if mistreated illegally, and it looks to me to be the time to find an excuse to promise his opponent and make good his promise made to Mr. George P. Brown some time ago. You will favor me to answer the Eagle information of an article copied from any daily, weekly, or monthly publication that has been copied in the New Age Dispatch that has helped to stop your constituents from investing their hard-earned cash in any "get rich quick proposition" at any time they could not get back the principal or 30c interest on their investment in 99 years since said publication has been under your personal supervision and management in the past 10 years.

EXTRAV AGANCE No one who knows, doubts the value of neatness, tidiness and a good appearance in the presence of other people. There seems to be a lack of appreciation on the part of some of our people for this valuable asset so necessary to success in life. Failure to realize this, means both a social and economic loss to many of our race. Failure to keep themselves clean and present a good appearance, especially where one has to deal with the public has been the cause of us losing many good positions. Going on the streets and on the street cars and in other places of public accommodation and amusement in an untidy and unpresentable condition has been the cause of us being barred from many of these places. On the other hand there is a growing tendency among us to go to the extreme in trying to imitate the rich people of the other group, by expensive dressing and spending far be- ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read----1 E CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened yond what our incomes or salaries permit. It is not unusual to see one of the women of our race who is working for a salary of fifty or sixty dollars per month, wearing a much more expensive dress, to and from work than the lady who has her employed. Nor is it unusual to see one of our men more finely dressed and driving a more expensive automobile than the man he works for, when in many cases after the first few payments are made it goes back to the former owners. This growing tendency among us to overspend and go beyond our means, just to make a howl and try toook important, is not only a collossal financial loss and economic waste, but is causing us to lose many good positions and is doing the race a deal of harm by creating a false impression in the minds of those of the other race who employ ninety-five per cent of our people and who know we are not able to afford it. What looks more ridiculous to the man who sees and knows the value of things, to see a man working for a salary of one hundred dollars per month and paying fifty dollars of that each month on a high priced car, when he has no home of his own and not even a garage to keep the car in. Another way in which we try to imitate the rich and we ourselves know we cannot afford it; but we strain a point and take six months to pay the bill. We give big parties, buy expensive gowns, give big balls and pay from fifty to five hundred dollars a night for the use of a white man's hall, and think we have done something remarkable. If you would ask these same people to put five hundred dollars in some kind of a business they would most assuredly refuse to do so. What do we expect our children to do when they come out of school? Our boys to become loffers and our girls a reproach to society. This is sure to be if we do not combine our efforts and establish business to give our children something to do. THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL By: Mrs. Ella Vee Belfon (Beauty Culturist) "Look Your Best" is the slogan of the Beautiflion. This does not apply only to Marcel Waves, Facial Massage, or Manicure, but to every point of a woman's anatomy that may be possible to improve. When we examine our physical bodies and understand that true beauty originates with beauty of soul, purity of blood and out of cleanliness of skin, we have really and truly mastered the A. B. C. class of what is essential to God-given beauty. No doubt you want to know how to find beauty of soul, or where to locate the rock upon which to build our clay from which we model the woman beautiful. The real I, and how to be successful in passing the first mile-stone on route to perfect beauty. The answer is, do not worry or free Renounce prejudices, vain glory and idle fear. When you are free from worry and anger, when you have poise and absolute self-control, when you can smile at all times, even when clouds of disappointment burst around you knowing that God will take care, then you have beauty of soul. To anger and worry can be traced many of our physical ailments; hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, cancer and many other fills. For ages men have allowed worry, discontent and anger to bind them as with shackles. It is destructive, it does not advance you, it enslaves you. It is a habit easily acquired, but most Difficult to surrender. These habits that are so detrimental must be banished before you can become the "Lady Beautiful." It is easy to live right and be happy if we only start on the right road and that road is none other than the steps I have outlined in this article. If these steps are taken and we can sit quietly and commune with the Creator, we will reflect the image of God and become "The Woman Beautiful." GRANT CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Ray T. E. Jones, Pastor In keeping with previous announcements our pastor preached at Macedonia Baptist Church last Sunday morning and Rev. L. M.

This admirable sentence, one of the most admirable in English speech, was addressed by Spurgeon, the great preacher, to Gladstone. It is true. I believe in no man's infallibility; but I have the same sore of confidence in Judge Westover's integrity as I have in the shining of the stars and the ebb and flow of the tide. Myron Westover cannot be bullied; he cannot be bribed; he cannot be bought. To the best of his knowledge and ability, he will judge righteous judgement. And an honest Judge, in the day of lies and crime, is worth his weight in radium! JOHN H. Myron Westover is a Judge of the Municipal Court. He is a candidate for the Superior Bench. The election does not take place until August, but many members of this congregation are now leaving for their holiday, and I myself shall be away in August. I beg every friends of mine who will be able to vote in August to vote for Judge Westover. Forum Hears the Claims Of Race Candidates Forum Hears the Claims Of Race Candidates The. Los Angeles Forum on last Sunday had one big day when the various candidates from the 73rd and 74th Districts appears before that body and stated their various stands upon the propositions which they expected the support of the voters from their various districts. Quite a crowd was present and they had the opportunity to root for their favorite candidate to their heart's content. The first speaker present was the old war horse and spell-binder Atty. Chas H. Alston who aspires for a place in the Assembly from the 73rd District. Mr. Alston made a very good impression and favored with a straight forward declaration of his stand upon the questions which enter into the campaign. Rev. E. T. Hubbard who is the lone candidate upon the democratic ticket, was not backward about stating why he has desired the grand old party and had entered the folds of the followers of Governor Smith. The next speaker was Editor J. B. Bass who opposes the present incumbent the Hon. F. M. Roberts. By the way the greatest interest centered in the contest from the 74th District on account of the fact that it is a straight race between the two editors. Mr. Bass did not hesitate and waded right into his subject and laid down a barrage for the incumbent to wade through. Mr. Bass spoke without notes, his opponent brought a huge bag full of notes, books and documents. He spoke without regard to time and received a big hand. If noise could put it over, he was certainly in the running. He got the break by having the last say, but the Eagle Editor made no complaint and was at all times master of the situation. We have no hesitancy in saying Mr. Roberts made a most excellent speech and was eminently fair and made no intentional mis-statement of facts. However in a thousand years he cannot shake off the stentorian tones of Mr. Bass) who shouted, "I want something." Mr. Bass cut no corners but cited the facts as are self-evident that the Assemblyman had his day, and falling to bring things to pass for his district he must step aside for those who can. It was a great day for the Forum and one to be long remembered. LOTS! LOTS! LOTS! In a beautiful subdivision now open- ening in that progressive city of Corona. Lots now selling from $225 up.

Delorey's Letter Ot Interest To Colored People TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: It having been brought to my attention that Jack Bean, one of the candidates for Supervisor in the Second District, is taking unto himself for political purposes, credit for the opportunities presented to people of your race in County service. This is to advise you that during your period of greatest advancement in County work, he was not even a member of the County Board of Supervisors. It was prior to his administration, and while I was Supervisor for the Second District that the members of your race were admitted to the County Hospital as nurses, and to the position of Head Custodian for County Buildings; this is the only Department in the County that is supervised by one of your people. The efficiency shown by your girls in the County service has removed all opposition to them. The same is true of Mr. Robinson. serving as Head Custodian of County Buildings. Should you desire any additional facts on the subject, I will be very glad to provide same. --- Our candidate for the Assembly, Editor Joseph B. Bass is presented to the voters of the 74th Assembly District upon his record as a citizen and conservative business man. Coming in our midst 16 years ago his life and achievement is an open book. He has demonstrated his keen interest in public weal by a practical demonstration. If in need of soldiers to march the people have had only to call him. Every movement which tended for the uplift of mankind has always had his unqualified support. In business he has demonstrated and been a decided success. His record for meeting his obligations are untarnished. One of the prime requisites for leadership is to prove yourself before aspiring to show others the way. All of these conditions our candidate possesses and we have no hesitancy in presenting him to the voters of the district as worthy in the highest degree for the consideration of the voters of the 74th Assembly District. Where are Those Courteous Police Officers That Chief Davis Rants Abouts? Where are Those Courteous Police Officers That Chief Davis Rants Abouts? ARE THEY INSTRUCTED TO GIVE AS ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES FOR MAKING AN ARREST THE FACT THAT THEY'RE FROM TEXAS? When, oh how, and where, can we seek protection or flee from the wrath of some of the members of the Los Angeles Police Department? Many are the complaints coming into this office, concerning the pernicious activities of the police toward members of our group. The latest episode of the police was the halting of Mr. Thomas Tracy, prominent young club man of Pasadena, for some minor traffic violation. Mr. Tracy, while driving a small roadster to Los Angeles, was stopped by two police officers on a motor patrol, for defective lights. While he was busying himself trying to locate his operator's card, one of the officers, J. W. V. Schmitt, badge No. 1852, kept guying him, and giving as reasons for doing so, the fact that he came from Texas. Maybe the chief or the precinct Captain will correct this form of procedure. Our citizenry certainly doesn't appreciate it. Why Hon. J. B. Bass Should Be Elected to The Assembly From The 74th District BY: BENJ. W. INGHRAM Stood 16 years on our principal service. Has fought to protect every worthy cause. To elect Joe Bass means to begin a movement for the race people of California. The time arrives at last, the people's man chooses to run, the 74th District look with pleasure on the candidacy of Hon. J. B. Bass. We plead with the people of the 74th to get behind a man who for 20 years has fought for and helped to attain some or the largest offices in the country, his efforts landed William T. Vernon in the office of Registrar of the U. S. Treasury; he has worked entirely to advance every young man that had a spark of go forward in him. There are a few self-appointed big men in the Race in California, who never appear at the proper time to do anything constructive for the race, the leadership they claim has reward only for the claimant, this situation must be changed, its up to you voters to change it, let a new Assemblyman in the person of Joseph B. Bass, start the ball a-rolling in California for our people. EJD:AL New York Women Meet (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N.

Old time Gospel singing, perplexing questions about the Bible, cheerfully answered and a cordial welcome that makes the Big Gospel Tent a place just a little different. Make one visit, enjoy the entire service and you'll bring someone with you the next visit you make. The Gospel at the Big Tent goes straight to the heart and makes every listener ponder the message for a long time. Go often to the Big Tent. (By The Associated Negro Press) Toronto, Ontario, Can., Aug. 1. The British M. E. Church of this city of which Rev. F. O. Stewart is pastor, is celebrating its 83rd Anniversary. The original church was founded as an underground railway station, and in its present building (erected in 1894) is still in a flourishing condition. The B. M. E. Connection, with about 20 different congregations scattered throughout Canada, forms the only distinct colored church body in the Dominion. LAURA JANE TATES DECEASED Mrs. Laura Jane Tates, beloved wife of Mr. Nelson Tates departed this life Wednesday morning, July 4, 1928. The contributing cause of death was pneumonia. The deceased was well known in California having lived here since 1890. She came here from Shreveport, Louisiana. After spending a number of years in Tulare, California, where her mother resided, she came to Los Angeles. It was here that Mrs. Tates, known then as Mrs. Laura Fields met and made lasting friends. Many of the old timers were her esteemed friends. In 1907, Mrs. Fields became the wife of Mr. Nelson Tates of Los Angeles. They resisted for twelve years in Hanford finally coming back to Los Angeles. Mrs. Tates was an ardent, faithful church worker and attendant. It was in this field of endeavor that her light shone the brightest. She will be missed at the First A. M. E. Zion Church in every department. She was also a member of two orders—Household of Ruth, No. 3309, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, and the American Woodmen. The deceased leaves two sons by her first union—Mr. Beverly, Fields and Mr. Walter Allen Fields. Aside from the two sons, two daughter-in-laws, seven grandchildren and hosts of friends are left to mourn her departure. Rev. I. Albert Moore, pastor of the First A. M. E.

CALIFORNIA CITIES AND TOWNS Friday, August 3, 1928 Santa Monica News BY: SMILEY KING Miss Charlere Wharten has just returned from a week's outing at the Y. W. C. A. camp at Astilomar, California; where she spent an enjoyable time. Miss Wharton is well known as a Y. W. C. A. and church worker. She was organizer of this Society among the girls of Santa Monica. As a reward for her services she was given a week's vacation, with all expenses paid, at Association's summer camp. Women's Day was celebrated last Sunday at the First A. M. E. Church, the entire services for the day were in charge of the Women's Mite Missionary Society. In the afternoon services the message was brought by Miss Sue Prioleau of Bethel A. M. E. Church of Los Angeles. The young ladies sermon was well rendered, and was as well enjoyed by all. The sermon for the evening was preached by Sister Green, also of Los Angeles. It was truly inspiring and uplifting. Troop S, the Boy Scout Troop of Santa Monica announces that all meetings during the summer will be held out of doors. Donald Brunson, A. S. M in charge, seems to want his boys to work up a good applique; after a good thrice of four mile hike the scouts cook their meal, play a few games and returned home. These meetings are proving very popular. Last week's meeting was held along the beach in the vicinity of Santa Monica Canyon. Mrs. M. L. Murrell entertained with a whist party wlooming her husband, Mr. M. Murrell, home from a vacation through part of Kentucky and Illinois, also honoring Prof. and Mrs. A. G. Dobbins of Birmingham, Ala. A number of friends were present. The event of the Venice Beach season transpired last Saturday Evening when Mr. and Mrs. J. Allen Reese of that city honored their guest. Approximately three hundred persons responded to the invitation, crowded the Monday Club, and laughed and talked the hours away. The guests were: Mr. and Mrs. George K. Dailey, Chico, Calif. Dr. and Mrs. Wm. E. Richardson, Secramento, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Loon F. Marsh, Berkeley, Calif. Miss. Bessie Ozborne, Houston, Texas, Mr. T. S. Dawson, Berkeley, Calif. Mrs. Hartz, St. Joseph, Mo., and Mrs. Lawson of Kansas City, Mo. The favors were numerous and varied in design, and the presence of confetti and serpentine adzed much to the mirth of the care-free frolicsome group. George R. Dailey Grand Vice-Chancellor; Leon F. Marsh, Grand Auditor; Dr. Wun E. Richardson, Grand Medical Registrar; T. S. Dawson, Secretary of Endowment Department and J. L. Crossen, Treasurer of the Endowment Department were recently the guests of Grand Chancellor J. Allen Reese of the Knights of Pythias on a deep-sea fishing trip. Figuratively speaking, "the boys were compelled to hide when baiting their hooks to prevent the fish from jumping from the water for the live bait." They brought in a record catch. WHEN By: Vernon E. S. Brunson When everything seems wrong, And troubles bind you round And the hope of being anything is will never pass- When you know you're in a rut And you are getting nown out all- Yet you are still traveling to the well worn cut- well worn cut- When you feel, oh what's the use Or struggle and the fight, When the world has nothing for you but abuse— you but abuse— When you wish your life would go And end the worry and the toll, Hide you from the things "chance wins" seem to blow— When you get so tired of hurrying, Always in a rush and get nowhere— And every day you do the same old thing . . . When your burden seems the hardest, Just care it up by saying— This is but another one of Life's great tests— When you feel yourself growing numb From the bitter coldness of the world, Just take heart, fight on, the best is yet to come— When you think your case o'er right, You'll find Life is not so bad. For no man has ever gained his Hopes without a fight. SAN BERNARDINO, CAL—Mrs. T. G. Hamilton entertained the members of the Cortoria Club, a branch of the Women's Federation last Friday evening from five to seven at her home. The members claimed that it was one of the most delightful luncheons they had ever attended. After the business was disposed of Mrs. Hamilton served her guests a summer luncheon. As the weather was quite warm, the refreshments were served on the lawn of the Hamilton home. It was indeed a beautiful setting for a summer evening's repast. The tables were surrounded by rose bushes, and other green shrubs making a delightful garden scene. PIANO: Wegerman and Henning, upright. A good make and a better buy for only $65.50, terms.

The table fairly groaned under the weight of fried chicken, buttered beets, cream cream, tomato salad, hot corn bread, piping hot baby parker house rolls, ice tea, relishes of all kinds, ice cream and cake.

Blythe News In the last issue of the Palo Verde Times there appeared a statement from J. B. Kein, a prominent rancher here. He thinks it is about time that the white people segregate the Negroes in the public schools, because their increasing numbers constitute a menace to the progress and health of white students. However, all officials deny any intuitions of segregating the schools in the attempt at putting a colored teacher on the faculty to teach in a separate room nothing but Negro children. The colored people are well pleased at the present system and do not desire any changes. The Palo Verde Lodge and H. H. or Ruth with the community at large regret very much to know that Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bradford are leaving Blythe to stay. We loss in them the kind of citizens that we are proud to keep in Blythe.

Business Leaders of Of Country Mourn Wilkerson's Death --- (By: A. N. P.) Memphis, Tenn., Jly 11. Telegrams of condolence and sympathy from the leading business man of the Negro race poured into the home of Mrs Waymin Wilkerson, wife of the prominent business man and fraternal leader who committed suicide here Monday evening. The suicide of Mr. Wilkerson has not only startled Memphis' but the entire nation as he was known as a man of high ambition and who never knew what defeat was. He had been a successful man, and while it is believed that his connection with the failure of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank, had something to do with his deed, his friends have expressed the opinion that he could have "staged a comeback." That-Mr. Wilkerson felt otherwise is indicated by the following message which was penned to the lapel of his coat when his body was discovered by the night watchman of the Tri-State Casket Company Building: "I am now 26 years old, 'spirit crushed, nerves shattered, ambition gone, health failing—the attached clipping tells the tale.' The clipping referred to read as follows: "The advantages of a career should be measured not by what it offers at 30, but what it offers at 50, 60, and 70." "If satisfaction in life hinges on one thing more than another, it is on the idea that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today." "When the idea falls out of the picture—when people are on the downside and know it—when they have to live on memories and reminiscences—without any hope that they can do as well—much less better than they have—life loses its thrill."

When real opportunities are at hand for advancement they can be found looking out the window or asleep at the switch. We have spent our time and our means for a concrete organization for business. We are not going to quit by any means for we are not of that kind. We are however going to take another tact. We are going heart and soul with Rev. C. F. Jones and Dr. D. W.

All people who mean business, let's forget the sleepy business men and make new and live ones through our own efforts. The organization of this sort of effort is scheduled for the First A. M. E.

Meet us there. 74TH DISTRICT ASSEMBLY CONTEST As the primary approaches, definite lines are being formed in the Assembly Contest in the 74th District and as they are unfolded it is no question of the sentiment for a change and this situation of the sentiment for a change and this situation spells the defeat of the present incumbent for re-election. It further demonstrates that the people are alive to the situation as never before. They are tired of "slip shod" methods and yearn for a man of business acumen who has the ability to at least bring some things to pass. In contrast to this thought of the people, Mr. Roberts only recently in a public address, said that business success or ability cuts no figure whatever. He said further for the people to keep_on sending him and maybe in the next term he could put over what he had failed to do in ten years past. The sentiment of this district was demonstrated at the opening rally of the "Bass-for-Assembly Club" at the New Hope Baptist Church on-last Monday night, when the challenger for Mr. Roberts' position was cheered to the echo, and bear in mind this meeting was a strictly 74th district proposition. The high hatters and outsiders were out of the picture. It was a getting together of the plain, common; everyday people who are the ones who will decide the contest. It is clearly evident that the people want a man of action and will no longer tolerate anything, else except a man or woman who can bring things to pass. Finally Mr. Roberts says that he stands upon his constructive record; and falls miserably so to point to any construction. Mr. Bass presents his candidacy upon his record for experience with constructive progress in evidence all along his path. He is endorsed by Labor, by the United Veterans of the Republic, by the United Improvement Association, by hundreds of leading business, professional, and citizens in general. The people are tired of standing still: they want to go forward and feel with the present Assemblyman the grand old 74th district will never get anywhere.

That so many could afford to devote so much money to a matter largely of pleasure is a testimonial to the widespread prosperity which prevails. Railroad traffic is above the average and summer resorts are having a highly profitable season. Tourist camps have been filled to overflowing. The national parks have had more visitors than ever before. All these things are taken into account of reaching the estimate, which, of course, is nothing more than approximate, since there can be no such goal as accuracy in such a matter. That so many are able to knock off from the regular vocation and seek relaxation show that as a people we are learning the value of a bit of leisure. We have a class which devotes itself chiefly to leisure, but the vacationists referred to are those who for the main part of the year are busily employed. The number of vacationists is all the more noteworthy since it must have included the farmers in but a small proportion and they are more numerous than any other class. The summer is the farmer's busy season and his leisure if he has any, comes at other times. Next winter many of the tillers of the soil will hitch up the car and journey southward for a few weeks and will augment the number of the vacationists considered by the year. The vacation idea calls for the employment of many thousands who cater to the wants of vacationists. This involves business of vast magnitude in itself and it has wide ramifications. What is one's period of leisure is another's time of activity. All of us could not take vacations at once. Somebody has to stay on the job to provide for the vacationists and take in the money the vacationists have to spend. And the latter feature is attended to with promptness.

It may be desirable that no child be permitted to end its schooling until the age specified, but adding a year or more to the compulsory age will not of itself operate to attain the end sought. It is said that inadequately educated young persons are revealed to grow delinquent morally as well as in industrial and commercial advance, but by no means all of education is in the schools. By far the more valuable part is received in the home, if it be had at all. More schooling might help much but it would not do all desirable in diminishing delinquency. If the right kind of principles are inculcated even though schooling be ended before one is 18 there is very little peril of lapsing into delinquency. Page-Six APPRECIATION UP TO PARENTS ```markdown ``` If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON Students of political history will recall the great debates in Congress between William McKinley of Ohio afterwards elected president, and Wilson of Virginia, Democratic leader in the House. The tariff was the issue. The Democrats argued for "Free trade," or a "Tariff for Revenue Only." That was in the yesterday. Today industrialism has expanded in Science. The factories and dead political issue. The factories have changed their former attitude. Yes yesterday; "Free Trade" or "Tariff for Revenue Only," was the political slogan of the party of Jackson, today it is protection, their interests demand it. Hence the change. As a political issue the Tariff is dead. Taking it from a partisan view point there is a dearth of clear cut party controversials. With the elimination of the tariff questions, and both major parties practically in agreement as to the matter of taxation in raising the internal revenue, there is little else left but Prohibition, and many voters will not acknowledge prohibition as a partisan affair. Both candidates for president are very emphatic in asserting their intention to enforce the law. Both of the candidates, Gov. Smith and ex-Secretary Hoover, say that the Constitution is the law and the Amendments are the Constitution. There are over 15,000,000 people; a part of the nation, who are wondering if either or both candidates know that there are amendments 13-14-15 lawfully enacted into the Constitution of this United States of America, which guarantees to all citizens the full rights or nationals, but which is nullified by certain sections of the prescriptive, against and denied the right and protection which the Constitution gives. Here is the direct question that should be asked of Gov. Smith and Herbert Hoover. Do you believe that the Constitution of the United States of America is a document, which, under oath you are sworn to enforce, should be enforced in its entirety? And would you, or will you, strive to see that the protection guaranteed by the Constitution is given to every citizen alike, and enforced in every sertion, of the nation, without regard to race or complexion? Wonder what the answer will be. A preacher in Charleston, W. Va., pastor or one of the big churches, refused to open his doors to the women of the W. C. T. U., for a political meeting. He said: "It is not so important who is President, as to know who is Christ crucified." There seems to be an insidious current designed to mix religion and politics. Why enter the sacred precincts of a temple of worship to discuss an affair which bigots and fanatics strive to make a political issue? Men and women of diverse political views hold a common ideal on the claims of prohibition. Neither religion nor politics divert their minds from the theory that both temperance and prohibition are moral questions and cannot be aided by political partizanship. In spite of strict enforcement of the law and vigilance of the Federal Prohibition officers, arrests for drunkenness in San Francisco has increased enormously. For instance: In 1921 the arrests for over intoxication was a trifle over 3,000. A corresponding increase through the years has brought the number in 1928 to over 13,626. Will any sane person argue that politics had any bearing on the increase of drunkenness? The people must be told to the immerior drunkenness and its deteriorating effects. Temperance was in a fair way to do it, but fanaticism and bigotry ought to legislate, and force upon the people a "Thou Shall Not," and the result is the creation of millions of liars, hypocrites and a disregard for constituted authority. Dr. J. P. Mell, a Baptist minister of Atlanta, Ga., and president of the Georgia Baptist Convention, urges the Baptist preachers to keep out of politics. Dr. Mell's letter in the Christian index says: "There are three great issues in the race for president of the United States—Prohibition, the Racial question and the religious question—any one of which has enough in it to destroy the peace and hardy mony of any church' in the world. They all combined have enough dynamic in them to work irreparable injury to our Master's cause and to make wounds so deep that none of us will live long enough to see them healed." The racial question like that of Prohibition and religion has no place in partisan politics. One of the reasons why there has not been greater strides made in racial understanding is that it has been made the football of party politics. Whenever a senator from the South wants to get in the national spotlight, he rises in his seat and begins a tirade about "The Social Equality of the Negro" in Dixie, "whenever sense obscure person from the backwoods" has its reputation to be a political leader he sallies forth among the illiterate and uses the scare of Negro domination. Politics will not solve the question of racial intolerance. Only the education of understanding, which can be only by contact, will break down the barrier. Likewise the other two "issues," they have no place in party politics. Down in Texas a Federal Judge, J. C. Hutcheson, has decided that the Democrat party in Harris County can bar Negroes from the Democrat primaries. Suit was brought by J. B. Griggs against Guy Harris, chairman of the County Executive Committee. The Judge in rendering the decision said: "Political parties may prescribe qualifications of members, and that in his opinion, no legal right of the Negroes was nullified by barring them from the Democratic primary election." The suit was brought in the interest of the voters in Harris County by Griggs. Of course that decision is in direct opposite to the one given by the Supreme Court of the United States, and will be reversed when brought be fore that tribunal. The activity of the Race voter is commendable. By getting a chance at the ballot, no difference the party, they have a voice in selecting the opposing candidates. Being the balance of the voting power their support would be sought and they would be able to dictate terms which effect them locally. Race voters in Atlanta were able to get their quota of school bonds and other improvements by defeating every bond election. It is this fear of the voting power that impels the Southerner to try to eliminate the Negro from voting. The party name has nothing to do with it. Popplist or What-Not, it would be all the same. Senator Hiram Johnson could rest on his oars and glide calmly along on the political stream. But that is not the way with California's doughty son. He has a task to perform and that to him is of more importance than the resumption of his senatorial seat. Doubler Dam must become an actual fact, and the education of the voters to realize the pernicious propaganda of the Power Trust in its opposition to the project is the task to which he has set himself. It is no idle boast to say that the Senator will be returned by one of the biggest votes ever given a candidate in the State. He has espoused the cause of Herbert Hoover, candidate for the presidency, so there need be no fear of California's electoral vote. The anti-prize fight bill will go on the November ballot. And it will go over. Prize fight promoters show an inclination to "see through the glass darkly." If their racial discrimination needs a dose of purgative then let's give it to them. Maybe some parties will have to suffer, but it cannot be helped. Unless everybody can play fair, better that cancer be cut out, it's never too late to mend. So we shall see, what we will see. ON THE SIDE-WALK (Continued From Page One) On Thursday, November 12, 1925, while en route to Santa Barbara, we stopped in a little cafe in Ventura and were refused service on account of color. We brought suit in Ventura County. Atty. Lewis K. Beeks, assisted by Atty. Amy McDowell, made the fight for justice, but the Ku Klux Klan stepped in, lifted its sceptre or white supremacy and not even Assembly- man Roberts' amended Civil Rights Bill offered surcee and we lost our suit for damages, but won a victory in that our opponents confesses that never had a case in Ventura County been handled with greater dignity and a loftier display of intelligence than was exhibited by our attorneys in said case. Monrovia News BY: ELMIRA ENGE One of the loveliest affairs of the season was the picnic supper given by the members of the A. H. J. Club on last Wednesday at one of our attractive parks.

Cowington, graduate from Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas, who was awarded the Urban A. Mr. Floyd C. Covington League Fellowship, which gave him a year's study in the University of Pittsburgh, has come to the Los Angeles Urban League, to succeed Mr. John Fowler, who has been the General Assistant to the Executive Secretary, and who is resigning to devote all of his time to his Real Estate and Loan: Business. Mr. Covington is the son of Mrs. Lillian J. Craw, author of the Negro Pengean, "Out of the Past", which was staged so successfully in Los Angeles last summer. Mrs. Craw is the wife of the late Rev. James L. Craw, who patored the church at 5th and Towne Avenue during the year of 1916-1918. Mr. Covington was with the family during those years. While in Los Angeles he worked at the Dresden and Baker Apartments, Folk singer in the town. Next Negro employee in the service of the Corona Pacific Typewriter Company. This organization presented him—then a mere boy—a gold watch when he left the company to go with the family to Spokane, Washington. Mr. Covington received his education in the schools of Colorado, Seattle, Washington: Topeka, Kansas and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He finished the high school in Seattle in 1923, completing his four year course in two and one half years. He graduated from Washburn College, Topeka Kansas with degree of Bscholar of Arts and was the first Negro honor graduate in the history of the college receiving honors for his four years work and in his major and minor subjects. In August, 1927 he received the Urban League Fellowship which gave him a year's study at the University of Pittsburgh. In June, 1928 Mr. Covington received his degree of Master of Arts from that institution, being the only Negro to graduate from the University of Pittsburgh degree. His thesis on Economic and educational problems of Negroes was accorded the distinction of being one of the most complete studies ever submitted by a graduate student. This work is being studied by the Educational Board of the city of Pittsburgh and the Vocational Department of the New York School of Social Research. He is also working to work with the Los Angeles Urban League as its Industrial Secretary. He began his duties in that capacity on Wednesday, August 1st. American Citizens Fight Color Bar Samuel Graham of Pittsburgh and Robert Ball of Chicago, crack golf players who threaten as winners in Philadelphia Golf Contest over municipal course, have been barred after qualifying on account of their color.

Mrs. Lucy Garger McCarey of Chicago, Ill., and son Prentice, who is a talented musician, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dupree, 1543 East 22nd Street. EMINENT L. A. DENTIST RETURNS HOME 1930 DR. B. A. JORDAN Dr. Benjamin A. Jordan, who was called to the bedside of his mother, has returned home. His mother, Mrs. G. Jordan, a very prominent woman in her home circle, passed away shortly after his arrival. The funeral was held Thursday, July 26th. Dr. Jordan's many friends extend their sympathy to him in his loss. Dr. Jordan has resumed his practice at his office, 2405 Central. Hefflin Manufacturing Company Represented At National Negro Business League The Hefflin Furniture Company is sending its secretary, Mr. Emory V. Crain, to the National Negro Busi Mr. Emory V. Crain Mr. Emory V. Crain ness League Convention which con- venes in New York City. August 16th to 17th, to demonstrate to the many business men there the manufacturing progress that has been made on these western shores. Mr. Crain lead of furniture and caskets are being set 2000 miles to this convention as an exhibition. Mr. Crain will also exhibit a film showing the operation of the entire plant. Mr. Crain came from Dallas, Tex. and before coming here, resided in Philadelphia for a number of years. Six years ago when Mr. Leon Heflin began his furniture parts making in a small shop in a rear of his residence he had bright hopes and ambitions for the future. He worked up to his present 1,900 feet plank plant on Santa Ana Boulevard which occupies 4 acres and is valued at $125,000. The up to date machinery used is valued at $25,000. This is an all-Negro concern being built and financed entirely by Negroes pooling their finances and it reprets an investment in excess of $200,000. POLITICAL POT PIE Wayne B. Bowen, candidate for Senator, is an educator and principal of one of the Los Angeles schools. Two years ago he carried the town of Watts, especially the colored district thereof by better than a three to one vote, when time he was a candidate for the Assembly. He is a leasing member of the Baptist Connection, and foremost in the brotherhood. He is receiving a strong support for nomination and election. Assemblyman Roberts has had all the breaks and in defeat surely cannot complain. He has had ten years to accomplish something. Pushed to be the force behind the Puttest man on program at the Forum, allowed 1 hour and one half to his opponents 30 minutes, carried a hand bag of records and to this hour has failed to show what he has brought to pass along the line of recognition for his constituents in the 44th Assembly district. His is truly on the defensive. We note the announcements of Chairman Work of the National Committee which gives out the personnel or the Colored Division to handle the pending National Campaign, and in looking over the same, what is the matter with west of the Mississippi? Our incumbent Assemblyman says: "I have had 10 years experience; give me ten more and then maybe I can get 74th District Citizens representation in government." Friday, August 3, 1928 is called to the bedside of his mother, C. Jordan, a very prominent woman in after his arrival. The funeral was held any friends extend their sympathy to ce at his office, 2405 Central. THRIFTY HOUSEWIVES CLUB Thrifty Housewives Literacy and Art Club ends a successful club year.

CHICAGOAN WINS GOLF TITLE Chicago, July 28.—Abe Espinosa, Chicago, succeeded Walter Hagen today as western open golf champion by completing the 72 holes with a score of 291, four strokes ahead of his younger brother, Al Espinosa. Gans Chasing Mandell Says Sports Editor The following clipping was cut from the "Syracuse Journal": After watching Baby Joe Gans perform in the gymnasium yesterday afternoon it is easy to understand why he is being hailed as the next Nght-weight champion of the world. If ever a batler looked the part of a champion in the gym, Gans does. A sensation on the Pacific Coast where he ranged second only to Ace Hudkins as a drawing card, Gans gave up the chance to gather in coin as it flowed toward him there in a steady stream and came East, gambling on his success and determined to chase Sammy Mandell until he has forced East fighter into giving him a chance at the title. In the East Gans' work has been as successful as it was on the coast. The boat proof of his ability lies in the fact that his director, Larnie Lichtenstein, has the written documents to prove that in each city where he has appeared efforts have at once been made to book him for another appearance.

The former flyweight champion spent a week at Wheeler Hot Springs before starting the grind for what figures to be his hardest battle. Although Jimmy Carter/did little except protect his face Tommy O'Brien made as good a fight as he could last Friday at Hollywood. O'Brien won handily and tried to make a fight out of it from the fourth round on—but Carter just wouldn't. Carter won the first-round and the third, with O'Brien taking the second. Both suffered lip cubs in the second. O'Brien went to work in the fourth and captured five out of the last six heats. Carter opened up only in the seventh.

On The Stage—MILLER AND SLAYTER—Present DESPIITE FACT THAT THE RACE WAS AGAIN USED AS POLITICAL FOOTBALL; CAUSING TEMPORARY REVOCATION OF PERMIT THURSDAY Last Sunday night fervent patrons of open air cancelling, present in record numbers, occasioned a real surprise when the police appeared much a large crowd to be present. Ordinarily they would have expected probably two thousand. Owing to the fact that the dance had to be postponed last Thursday evening at the last moment, by order or the police. The embarrassed dancers who were turned back, were appealed to by the management to bear with them, through their temporary difficult factice Politics and race hatred were the controlling causes. Three police captains were present to collect four hundred and fifty dollars in cash at 8 o'clock or not allow any one to go through the gates. This money was claimed due on the license.

In Lou Dario's last Wednesday wrestling matches at the Olympic by the main event: between Pleistina and Malercerviz the "panther." Maleswiez was knocked unconscious and had to be carried to the dressing room, where Dr. Lloyd Mace, club physician, reported a broken rih and a wrenched back after his examination of the panther. The second fall had come in 19 seconds. Malercerviz was unable to continue our Pleistina was awarded the third fall and match by default. Ira Dern and Paul Jones put on a fast and interesting match in the one hour time limit sent windup.

All together too slow for the rapier-like stake of Jimmy Black, Fernando Gonzales fought a game but losing battle at the Orange Belt. Athletic Club last Thursday night in San Bernardino. Gonzales was way too slow for speedy little Jimmy and Black hit him at will. In the first round Jimmy stebbed Gonzales to death with a slashing left arm, but the second round found its way to the Sericault's side. The second round was a repetition of number one, with the Gate City Cyclone continuing his slashing left handed attack to the head. Fernado knew that he was losing and tried his best to ostave off defeat by making one big spurt to offset Jimmy's lead in the fourth canto. The game little Mex. began to ply his punches to the body and Jimmy lost his only round in the fourth. But the mighty effort on the part of Gonzales and Black beat him unmercifully in the fifth and sixth with a slashing left Jimmy had too much speed and class for Gonzales. Santiago Zorilla best Bud Taylor, the Terre Haute Terror in ten rounds at San Francisco last Friday night. This was the third meeting between them, with Taylor taking to hair line verdicts in the preceding battle. The little Brown Boy from Panama was out for revenge and he out-speeded and out-hit Bud in ten fast rounds. Bud Taylor and Joey Sangor are the only fighters in the United States that can claim that they have batted Zorilla and Santiago wiped out the Taylor beat by his victory Friday. Now for a match with Sangor so he can even score with Joey too. This will give Tex chance to come out of the hole that he went in on the Tunney-Heeney bout. The Black boys are doing themselves noble in the Olympics. De Hart Hubbard, 1824 Olympic Champion, lost out in the finals because of an injured leg. But Phil Edwards, a Negro from Canada was fourth in the 800 meters; Lloyd Hahn, America's hope, was fifth. Cator, a dark skin boy from Hattit, was jumping wonderfully in the broad jump, second only to Hamm of Georgia. LEW LESLIES "BLACKBIRDS OF 1928" LATEST BROADWAY SENSATION Taking the words of one of its severest critics, he says, "We need Blackbird." show must be written in the records of the theatrical history as one of Broadway's most entertaining revues. From its rollicking embarkation to its hilarious apotheosis, the dull moments have no opportunity to mar the beauty or impede the progress of this swift moving vehicle. Also from beginning to end, throughout the period of its animation the master craftsmanship, the creative and constructive genius of Mr. Lew Leslie are unmistakably evident. Further on he praises the outstanding work of many of the prominent artists, especially our old friend Bill Bodgers, Robinson, Alda Ward and Paul Tchaikov. According to Mr. Lew Leslie, the producer, he has signed a contract to appear next spring in None, Alaska, instead of going to Europe. Pirrone Nite Hawks Beat Fillmore Fillmore, July 27—Jo0 Pirrone's Nite Hawks of Los Angeles tonight defeated the Fillmore baseball team 4 to 2 in a 64-minute game. It was the tenth straight victory for the Hawks. The greatest cast of dramatic stars ever assembled in one aggregation are booked to open at our beautiful Eastside Playhouse, Friday, August 24th. Prominent in this lineup is one of our own Los Angeles boys, Lawrence Criner, who is among the country's leading dramatic stars. This is absolutely an All-Star cast; they include such artists as Evelyn Preer, Stage and Screen Star. She will also be remembered as doing the opposite lead to Lenora Urlich in David Belasco's "Lalu Belle" which had a long run in New York. Edward Thompson is another who has made the grade in the East in the dramatic world; Cleo Demond; Charles Olden; Sidney Kirkpatrick; Laura Bowman and Arthur Ray a group of the original Lefayette players who need no introduction to the Los Angeles public as most of them have appeared here either on the Screen or Stage and have never failed to please. Supporting these in the lighter roles are Monte Hawley, Bebe Townsend and George Randall. They are all artists of proven ability and to quote the Eastern cricles: "The famous Lefayette players are in a class; by themselves in their-chosen field." This dramatic company is coming direct from New York City where they have just closed a six-months' engagement at the Alhambra Theatre where they made an enviable record having gone in there on a one-month's contract and was held over for six months the public liked them so well. This company has been secured at a great expense due to the fact that it was necessary to purchase contracts that were already signed for them to appear in London for six months starting September the first, but this was done in answer to the Lincoln's patrons' many requests for dramatic shows and as usual the Management is griving to give to its many patrons just what they want and always the best. Every show also a different type of entertainment, i.e. Drama, Force Comedy, Meledora, Comedy Drama then a Musical Show, as you will see this will be the most versatile group of artists ever to be seen in Los Angeles. Every show will be a legitimate production produced just as done in the big legitimate theatres throughout the country and you will get the entire show each time. The present show, Miller & Slayer Company, which has been entertaining Log Angeles theatre-goers with high-class musical shows for the past five months, will end their engagement at the Lincoln on Thursday, August 23rd and move Back East to capture more laurels. TENNIS CHATTER BY: JAMES S. HARRIS, JR. LOW DOWN ON TENNIS FANS Miss Burleson of San Antonio, Tex. as, was quite active in tennis, circles while in the city on a brief season recently.

JULIAETTE TO TEACH Champion Juliette L. Harris has been offered the position of Tennis instructor by the Oak Lake Country University, the completion of their athletic training, and picturesque club site in the San Fernando region. Mr. Olmiera, promoter of the Country Club, said in offering Miss Harris the position, that "because of her long experience in the game and her ability as a player as well as her wonderful personality, she is the best fitted in the entire West for the position." EDITED BY: LAWRENCE F. LA MAR We witnessed on last Friday evening the preview, or the latest picture in which our own popular fellow-townman, Clarence A. Brooks, played the leading role. In our judgement the picture consisting of three reels of comedy-drama is one or merit. Supporting Mr. Brooks in the plot of a plight, which serves for a life "Absent"; are Ross Lee Lincoln; Virgil Owens; Floyd Shackelford; George Reed and others. The continuity held up a most excellent situation of a shell-shocked war veteran, and developed in its course a gripping story of war, love and devotion of the soldier boys. The man who is the main contentment for the hero and albeit in his buddies of the world's war. California Girl Dropped From Olympic Team Amsterdam, July 28—Members of the United States women's Olympic team were in dismay today when they learned Eita Cardwright, Eureka, Cal. girl, who is the fastest runner in the group, has been dropped from the 400-meter relay team. She was slightly indisposed yesterday and did not appear at the practice field. This was given as the reason for her being dropped from the team. Britishers-Going Nutty Over Baseball Although cricket is the national game over there, baseball is making rapid strides in London, so many as 11,000 turning out for the Sunday games. The greatest interest is shown when the London Americans play the Oxford Americans (Rhodes scholars) or the team from the S. S. Leviathan. Colored Comedy Ace Does Comedy Relief Most pictures in the making are untitle: this particular one is no exception. However, this latest film giving one of our boys a 'break' is a South Sea Island picture, with plenty or action. Thrills galore on the high tropical seas. Shanghai, etc. Harry Tracy, who has been enjoyably lucrative recent years, the camera is very much aligned over the role. He does the role of a ship cook. He was fourteen days on the high seas—just out from Catalina. Most all of the comedy that will be emoted from this film will come from this small cook part. That's important. Eh, what? Ralph Ince, who is co-starring with Estelle Taylor (Miss Jack Demersy) also directed the picture, like those from time (to time employ our boys, so let's remember the name F. B. O or this one.

Thompson, Physician and Surgeon COMMENTATOR LINCOLN THEATRE **SHUFFLE ALONG A ROLLICKING MUSICAL COMEDY FARCE** It seems as though good shows like the one offered last week don't get the hearty response that they should. They don't. Well, let's find out why. First, the kind of a show we had last week was too difficult to understand. That reasoning sounds paradoxical; but it isn't. If we could see a jam-up comedy force on the screen, we would all agree that it is the most simple kind of motion picture entertainment. But, seeing the same thing done on the stage, it takes a highly enlightened public to understand what it's all about. That's what is (if there is anything) the matter with last week's bill. Or, might better say, the bill with all the comedies. These people, Lincoln patrons, I imagine, want more dramas. They seem to go into hysteries over the shows that have a real recognizable plot. Give us a good story and make 'em act. Now, after explaining all of that, gentle reader, we will have to admit that the comedy plot in the show was really jam-up. That scene of Jim Town, with its two main characters, Amon Davis and Galli De Gaston, doing the heavy comedy part, will be the main purpose of Jim Town's leading stores and both candidates for Mayor, these boys 'cracked wise,' did the things that usually makes them laff, till their sides most crack. That stealing gag, brought home the bacon. Leroy Broomfield was the male soubrette in the title song number, 'Shuffle Along.' A red hot dancer in the comedy part, The jam-up dancing team of Broomfield and Greely, continues to occasion honest-to-goodness, applause. A lovely trio, if there ever was such, blossomed forth when Miss Edith Spencer, Lotte Gee and Aurora Greeley sang 'Gypsy Blues,' I mean they really harmonized. With their voices, and their beautiful eyes, Miss Greeley's too hot for words.

Paul Shoup, vice-president of the Southern Pacific Railway and his party returning from a rush trip, from Chicago abandoned the "Overland Limited" at Ogden and crawled into a waiting plane from Los Angeles and flew to San Francisco. A MOVING NEWSPAPER A train daily newspaper to give passengers information they may desire to have at each stage of the two and a half day journey from Chicago to Los Angeles started its career on the Gold Coast Limited of the Union Pacific recently. It is a four-page illustrated paper and is called "The Overland Mail" the first copy is delivered to the passenger the first morning out at Omaha, the second the next morning in Western Wyoming and the final one at Yermo, California. This is believed to be the first of its kind. PENNSYLVANIA SPEEDS PLANS FOR NEW BACK WITH MERCURY Reduction by one day of the travel time between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts appears now to be an early possibility with two of the country's larger railroads making plans for trans-continental air service. The trans-continental air transport, built around the Pennsylvania Railroad has announced its plans to begin operation of an air rail route about August 15th. The New-York Central contemplates establishment of a similar service through the Northwest. The Canadian Pacific's "Soo" Lines will co-operate with the New York Central. . . . MAID SUCCUBMS EN ROUTE Mrs. Amy Crane, maid on the "Overland Limited" died en route to San Francisco last Monday on the Overland Limited. Mrs. Crane took suddenly ill on her return trip and was advised to abandon the trip for week's duration, thus the child reached her destination for same she continued the trip. The remains were shipped from Ogden. The Clatter extends sympathy to the grief stricken relatives. --- HERE AND THERE The Southern Pacific Railway asked the Interstate Commerce Commission Monday for authority to issue and sell $4,815,000 of equipment trust certificates. The Chicago and North Western Railway in demonstrating the value of physical examinations out of the 10,000 that were examined in 1927 found one employee with a blood pressure over 300, this employee was immediately discharged from the service and later dropped dead on the street. The Union Pacific announces what is believed to be a world record for eight trains. Since December 20, 1929, each has handled 8,000 fruit trains between Utah, Oak and Council Bluffs, Iowa, 933 miles and not one of them has arrived behind schedule. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh has been appointed consulting aeronautical engineer for the Pennsylvania. Another occupation, hitherto regarded as exclusively masculine, has accumulated to the feminist trend of the times. A woman has been elected to the Florida Railroad Commission. This is the first woman to hold a position of this kind in this country. A total of 33 special trains carrying 5,000 passengers to the national grand encampment of the Knights Templars at Detroit, Michigan were moved over the New York Central. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Michigan Central handled the Grand Masters Special train or 21 cars with 400 passengers from Detroit, Colorado, this train carried one baggage car sixteen 12-section sleeping cars, 3 dining cars and one luggage car, two locomotives were used. The Kansas City Southern has established a 24-hour train "The Flying Crow" between Kansas City, Mo., and Port Arthur, Texas. A suit to enjoin the Mofaf Tunnel Commission from levying a special tax on the interest on $750,000 of bonds which were issued to finish the construction of the Mofaf Tunnel were filed in the United States District Court at Denver. MEARD AND SEEN AMONG THE PULLMANITES Chas, Upton, former Editor of this column, who ranks in the class of A-A porters, writes from his summer camp in Canton, Ohio, that he is having the time or his life and enjoying the trip immensely. E. Woods, Jr., is as happy as a kiddo at Christmas time, the reason—a second boy who claims the Dunbar Hospital as his birthplace. Mother and Son are spending a few weeks in Monrovia. An extra car out of San Francisco Saturday night contained an unusual type of passengers.

Lewis has returned from an extended vacation, Mrs. Lewis and children remained in Douglas, Arizona. Mr. E. Boutte, was called to the bedside of his mother in Oakland, who is seriously ill. Mr. Earl Baldwin and family motored out of L. A. last week, stopovers will be made at various points in California, Oregon, and Washington before returning Canada will be visited. In that city of surprises Baldwin will steal away from the family long enough to place his foot on the rail. We see now why he is, such a strong supporter for Al Smith. Mr. John Wilson was seen motoring on the hway last Sunday, and all the occupants in the buggy were ladies, and too many for one man. Mrs. Wilson is still in the East. Mr. E. Lingold is sicklisted this week. Mr. Downs has returned to work after several days of confinement. All the fishermen have returned and are back in the harness. Press Jas. Gray is still on the waitlist. Our old friend Holmes left for San Francisco last week. It is worrying the gang why the frequent trips. Mr. Geo. Coins had the misfortune to fall from a ladder and sustained a broken leg, a hurried trip to the Company hospital was made. (No he abstains from anything containing alcohol). . . . Mr. R.

The white people in the neighborhood resent the presence of the Kenners who own this home at the above address, and have harassed Mr. and Mrs. Kenner for several years past by picking querrels with them and having them arrested on trumped up charges, in the hope of driving them from the community. On last Wednesday one of Mrs. Kegner's white neighbors preferred charges against her and sore out a warrant for her arrest, whereupon she was arrested and lodged in jail. When her husband returned home and discovered the circumstances, he at once secured her release on bail and appeal. The judge, who was referred by Dr. H. C.
