CITIZENS PROTEST JIM CROW SCHOOLS On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. VOLUME 42 CIT JIM FRIENDS AND ADMIRERS OF MME. OVERSTREET JACKSON DO NOT BELIEVE SHE WILL ACCEPT POSITION IN FACE Blythe, Calif., Sept. 12, 1928. The name of the teacher who has been selected to teach the Jim Crow School at Palo Verde has just been learned. Her name is Marie Over street Jackson, residing at 6410 Asco Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Mrs Jackson wrote W. A. Adams of Blythe asking for the cost of room and board. Mr. Adams informed her that the people did not desire her to come and teach any jim-crow school. The teacher is due to arrive on the 14th of September. A committee of ladies is planning to meet her and furnish her with return fare to Los Angeles. Excitement is running high. The affidavit of a Los Angeles minister is expected to be received in Blythe by the last of this week. It is rumored that some startling revelations will be made in this affidavit. The parents are determined in their stand to boycott the jim crow school. Many parents are preparing to send their children out of the valley for schooling. The local branch of the American legion has failed to answer the communication which the committee addressed to them calling their attention to the un-American stand which they had taken in favor of the jim crow school. Next week the names of all the traitors who will send their children to the jim crow school will be made public. Alonzo Adams Heads Smith's Drug Store Number One DESIRE TO RETIRE FROM BUSINESS CAUSES TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP A genuine desire to gradually retire from active business was the contributing cause of the latest Central Avenue business transfer when Dr. James T. Smith, outstanding business man, completed a deal whereby Mr. Alonzo Adams becomes the owner of Smith's Drug Store, No. 1, located at 12th and Central. Dr. Smith expressed a glad heart, he stated, when he found this young man fully equipped in every way to succeed him. He has always been a firm believer in young men. Mr. Adams is one of the best known young business men in Los Angeles. Ever since his graduation, about four years ago from U.S. C. he has been a most valuable pharmacist at Bruce's Drug Store where he made many business acquaintances. Branching out into the manufacturing field, he made the valuable pills known as "Adams Bandits." Mr. Adams is an ideal type of the new Negro. On every hand sound business men have offered their congratulations. J. P. Jones Draws 30-Day Sentence J. P. Jones, well known grocer at 14th and Hooper Ave., drew a sentence of 30 days in jail and a fine of $300 on last Wednesday before Judge Hartley Shaw. Some weeks ago Mr. Jones who had been bothered with persons breaking his store window, had set about watching the same with gun in hand. In the meantime he got into an altercation with an autoist crowding the curb. In this situation Jones says the man made a move as if to draw a gun and he began to shoot. The jury found Jones guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with the above result. Mt. Olive Goes Home The congregation of the Mt. Olive Baptist church of Boyle Heights will return to its home on Sunday, September 16th, 1928, with great joy and thanksgiving. We are pleased to announce to our friends that we have come out victoriously in our four year struggle, and by order of the Supreme Court of California, we have again taken possession of our property at No. 3064 East First street, Los Angeles. This is the first article of any kind that we have ever published relative to our case. Many articles have appeared in our papers stating that everything had been settled, etc., but all of these articles were false. The Mt. Olive Baptist church has not been engaged in an ordinary factional dispute, but simply appealed to the Courts of this state in order to regain our valuable property which had been frequently taken from us, and for which we labored many years. While we have suffered during this struggle, we have learned how to pray and trust God, and we sincerely hope that our case will serve as an example to anyone, whether preacher or layman, who is thinking of doing the things that the defendants in this case have done. The trial of the case of Bomar et al vs. Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist church, a corporation et al Superior Court No. 162054 civil has proven without a doubt that the courts of California do not sanction a preacher and two or three adherents secretly incorporating a church, and in a way that the members of that church are not members of the corporation, fraudulently making the real property of that church, for which dozens of hard working people have labored, the property of such corporation, and then writing the members of that church notices to the effect that they have been "turned out" of the church because they are not "working in harmony with their leader." It is not necessary for us to discuss this case in the newspaper because the pleadings in Case No. 162054 Superior Court, and No. Civil 3539 Appelate Court will give anyone who is interested the TRUTH, of the whole matter, and we trust that the same will open the eyes of some of our ministers who tear down that which they are attempting to build by unknowingly supporting evil-doers. Mt. Olive has no ill-feeling toward its former pastor, or any of the defendants in this case, and is "going back home" in the name of the Lord. The Rev. Walter F. Watkins, former our present pastor, and we expect to do a great work for God in Boyle Heights. We cannot say that we are free from future attacks from the evil one, satan, because as long as he has a channel to work through he will be busy. We cordially invite our friends to be with us on next Sunday, and we earnestly ask prayers for us while we "rebuild our walls." F. A. WATSON, Clerk. New Orleans, La., Sept. 11—Hilda Mount, 23, was killed in a stabbing affray involving two other women at her home. Bertha Washington, 32, is with murder and Mary Brown, 21, is charged with being an accessory before and after the murder. The Brown woman told police that while she was entertaining a white man in her room, Hilda Mount entered and stole $30 from the man's trousers, passing the money to the Washington woman, who in turn gave it to an unidentified man. After the white man left a quarrel developed over the money, the Brown woman claiming it. Recrimination between the three resulted in the Mount wo man bing stabbed in the upper part of the body. She died almost immediately. The women are said to be familiar figures in night court. Rainbow Sistesso; half breed Indian and Negro, has been promised $5000.00 if she hikes 5000 miles in six months or less. This sum is to be paid by prominent Chicago business men. She left Chicago last May first and has hiked to New York, and touched all of the large cities north and south. She arrived in Los Angeles, Saturday, Sept. 5th, nearing the end of her trail which will take her north along the Pacific Coast. Rainbow has been hiking for a number of years and can make 35 to 40 miles per day under ordinary circumstances. En route west, when crossing the desert, she was attacked by a mountain lion which she managed to kill. She was also bitten by a diamond rattler, which laid her up for a few days. She is the only woman known to walk across the desert without a lift, it took her two weeks to cross the Salt Lake desert. She is accompanied only by her dog, whose mother was a wolf. The dog has saved Rainbow's life many times. When crossing the desert he has to wear especially made shoes. Rainbow Sistesso is 37 years old and has no relatives. Governor Refuses Pardon in Racial Integrity Case (By: A. N. P.) Richmond, Va., Sept. 11.—Governor Harry F. Byrd believes in "purity of stock" if the marrying of whites and colored persons has anything to do with it. Mary Hall (white) and Mott Wood (colored) were married and were subsequently arrested, charged with a breach of this law (racial integrity). They had been sentenced to two years. Application for pardon in behalf of the woman was made, but Governor Byrd refused to act favorably on the application for pardon of this, the first conviction under the new racial integrity law, his reason for so doing being: "In view of the publicity that has already been given to the application for the pardon of Mary Hall, convicted in the Circuit Court of Amherst County under the law prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored people, and because this is the first conviction under the new racial integrity law, I announce my conclusion as to this application. "At my request, Frank Bane, Commissions of Public Welfare, made an exhaustive personal investigation of the reasons advance dfor the pardon. It was the opinion of those who asked for the pardon of Mary Hall that she did not know at the time of her marriage to Mott Wood that he was colored, and she was sufficiently punished." "It is the judgment of Mr. Bane after a careful personal investigation, that Mott Wood was colored when she married him and that it was generally understood that he was colored in the neighborhood. BELIEVES RACIAL INTEGRITY VERY IMPORTANT "The necessity for racial integrity, continues Gov. Byrd, "is so important that after mature consideration, I find myself unable to act favorably on this application, notwithstanding the fact it is strongly indoors by the trial officials and other persons. "I have personally visited Mary Hall and Mott Wood in the penitentiary. Mary Hall's physical condition is much improved and there is no reason from this standpoint to consider a pardon."

Hawkins who is the head of the Negro Division of the National Republican Committee with headquarters in Washington, D.C. a visitor in the city, Mr. Hawkins arrived here last Monday to the bedside of his wife who was dangerously ill, and who has been visiting in the city for some weeks for her health.

Garrott, who had two prisoners on the way to Newton Street, were both seriously injured as was also the driver. Kimbrough suffered with contusions on the head and arms while Mr. Garrott sustained broken ribs and other injuries. It was a miracle that no fatalities resulted. Two Negroes Want to Get Families Out of Southern Inferno Two Negroes Want to Get Families Out of Southern Inferno LETTERS APPEAL FOR AID FROM N. A. A. C. P. New York, Aug. 31.—Two letters reciting the most terrible conditions have been received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, from Negroes who want help in removing their families from Southern Inferno whence they barely succeeded in escaping with their lives. The names of the men and their present locations are withheld, for the present while the N. A. A. C. P. is making efforts to help them, though the N. A. A. C. P. hopes to be able to publish the entire stories in full at a later date. One of the men, 60 years old, got away with only his life, after two of his sons had been lynched, having been taken in custody by a sheriff on the promise that they would be "protected." They had been charged with no crime. The man's property, residence and farm buildings, have been destroyed by fire. He is now hoping and praying that the remaining members of his family may be gotten away from the scene of the murder of his two sons. The other case is that of a man threatened with lynching because he dared to write a litter to a southern newspaper criticising the lynching which preceded the Democratic National Convention in Houston, Texas. A lynching in the man's own town immediately followed publication of his letter and the mobbists, thinking the criticism was directed against them, planned to wreak vengeance. This man too escaped North and is seeking employment to earn enough to bring his family away from the section where they "knew the Negro." (By: A. N. P.) Cazoo City, Miss, Sept. 11.—Williamiam Chin, lying near this city, was instantly killed when a bolt of lightning struck the chimney of the house in which he was staying. Other occupants of the room, members of his family, were unhurt. Baumann's Pharmacy No.2, Changes Hands OTIS J. RENE, JR. AND SAM UEL, C. BAUMANN, JR. NOW SOLE OWNERS Otts J. René Jr. and Samuel C. Baumann, Jr., partners with Albert Baumann in Baumann's Pharmacy No. 2, recently acquired complete ownership of the drug store located at 1301 Central Ave. Cor. Pico St. These two druggists have ebeen associated with Baumann for some time and have had long experience in drug store management and in dealing with the public. They have also made many friends in their locality, as well as a host of others from all over the city, who will find even greater satisfaction in dealing with them now that they are owners of the store. These two young men are Graduate Pharmacists and registered under the laws of this state and are fully competent to carry on the business of pharmacists. Samuel C. Baumann, Jr., is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, class of '22 and was registered in that State the same year. He practised in a large dispensary until October of the ensuing year, when he left Boston to come to California and work with Albert Baumann at the Ninth and Central Store. Soon afterwards he became associated in business with Albert Baumann. Just about this time Otis J. Rene, Jr. had finished his studies in pharmacy at the University of Illinois, class of 24 and hastened to California to join the partnership. They have enjoyed several years of harmonious business relations and now they are taking the reins in their own hands. Aside from being a capable druggist, Rene is a music writer of no mean ability. During the past year he has published several numbers which have gained wide popularity. There will be quite a change in the former policy of the store. In addition a highly efficient prescription department will be featured with a motorcycle delivery to afford the greatest possible speed in calling for and delivering prescriptions. Competitors and the public alike wish these two young druggists the best of success. Daughters Play Important Part in Elk Work and Convention Chicago, Sept. 11.—The great city of the Lake belonged to the Elks from Sunday, August 26, until Sunday, September 2nd. The thousands of members of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World paraded, pranced and covered the South Side with their horns. Everywhere it was Bill this and Bill that, and just as often it was Daughter this and Daughter that. The 29th Annual Grand Session was made more impressive, colorful, and happy by the Daughters whose 26th Annual Grand Temple convened at the same time. Led by the efficient and popular Ella G. Berry, Grand Daughter Eiler, the women carried out their elaborate program and reported, moved, and countermoved in great style. They seated for their headquarters the Metropolitan Community Center Church at 41st street and South Parkway. In the main auditorium the 846 delegates representing 547 Temples were seated according to States. Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it—LINCOLN. The Liberty Building Loan, Unity Finance and the Golden State Insurance Company should all receive the most hearty support of the readers of this journal. As individuals we may enjoy a peculiar superiority complex as to our own importance, but that importance disappears the instant we are thrown in the busy swirl of life where men are engaged in big business; in other words, where people are doing things, for unless we are capable of bringing things to pass either in the financial, political, or literary worlds, in spite of our own high estimates of ourselves in the final analysis we will be lost in the shuffle. So let us come out of our shells and do something worth-while, we may start now by throwing our financial strength back of these already mentioned organizations, and make them big in the community not as Colored business but as big business in this section of the State and Country. And to those who represent the heads of these institutions—don't be afraid to use a little ink and paper. The only thing that is big about the Negro newspaper is the hope that permeates the institution, but it is the inevitable, if you decry us and our efforts along this line you are through that medium driving nails in your own coffin."For as one lamp lights another no grows less," says America's beloved poet, Longfellow. --- The Florida Negroes have decided that they will either vote in the Primary elections or die trying—Keep up the fight men of valor, wish we had a few like you in California. The Democrats in California are certainly putting up a fight to win the State for Smith, while the Hooverites from all appearances are peeking out from behind closed shutters watching the Democratic propaganda parade as it passes onward. Get the habit of paying for what you get. Smiles and sugar-coated words are all very good, but they don't buy ink nor paper, so friends get the habit of paying with real cash. Learn to respect your jobs and the jobs will respect you. America is growing bigger and better as a nation all the time, then as citizens of this great Republic let us so conduct ourselves that our country and our nation can but feel proud to claim us. Let us get and hold on to that sort of Religious culture that stays with and prompts our daily acts and attitudes of mind in such fashion that we will learn true charity which is love: That sort of feeling that makes us truly love our neighbors as ourselves. It is possible for us to conduct our affairs in life that those who now omit tracise and segregate us will seek after us because we have the key to happiness. The papers boost you all the year—now don't be selfish, come on and help the California Eagle and the Pacific Defender put on something worth while. That Carnival can be made of high-class as the average County Fair so let's go altogether and make it a success for if they make a dollar it is not theirs but yours. The Negro and the Democratic Party --- There seems to be considerable unrest among many of the people of our race throughout the country because as they claim the Republican Party has not given them a square deal. This unrest is becoming so general that many are considering the availibility of deserting the Republican ranks and joining the Democratic party to oppose the party that has done for us whatever has been done as far as politics are concerned. Those who are advocating deserting the Republican ranks, know full well that there is not a single incident that they can point to when the Democratic Party has ever tried to do anything for the Negro except to intimidate, humiliate and disfranchise him. A splendid example of what the attitude of the great majority of those who compose the party can be seen in the Houston incident on the eve of the Democratic convention, when a Negro was taken from a hospital and lynched almost in the present of the Delegates to the Convention. It was not by accident that men as Tillman, Vardeman and Cox Blease got into the Democratic party but because this party stood for and represented just what they believed in—the suppression of the Negro. To understand the real attitude of the party it has to be studied from the standpoint of the solid South and not from New York or any other State of the North where they will do almost anything to get a few votes. In the North of course they will promise the Negro a number of things they will never do to get his vote and in the South where the party is in ful control of all the functions of government, they disfranchise him and keep him from voting so that he will not be able to ask for anything. "What a contrast!" Think this over before you cast your vote. Grant that the Republican Party has not done all it should have done for the Negro, weigh what it has done against what the other party has done and has tried to do and some of the Democratic enthusiasts among our group will change their minds. It seems that these deserters can only see Al Smith and not the party he represents. They seem to forget that Partyism and party policy is stronger than any one man. Grant that Smith has made a fairly good record as Governor of New York and that he has ben rather liberal in his views relative to colored people, although of his many years as Governor of that State he has made only one appointment of a Negro to a prominent position, and yet it was the large Negro vote that helped to elect him. Therefore it does not seem that he is particularly interested in the promotion of Negroes. Smith's stronghold in the State of New York is in the city of New York, which is a Cosmopolitan city made up of people from all over the world. Many of whom know little about American institutions or government, and too New York City is controlled by Tammany, which has plenty money to spend. Anyone who believes that if Smith is elected he will convert the Democratic party overnight to a just treatment and advancement of the Negroes' interest is dwelling in delusions. Knowing his awed温 tendencies and his attitude toward the Eighteenth Amendment and many other things that time and space will not permit us to mention, should cause Negroes to stop and think before they vote for Al Smith.

JONES INTER-RACIAL MUSICAL TO BE HELD AT JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL Great interest is being manifested in the Tenor contest to be given at Jordan High School Auditorium, E. 105rd St., near Alameda Blvd., Monday night, Sept. 24th when three of Southern California's greatest tenors compete for a prize.

But, I am told, by older and wiser heads that there are two sides to this question. There are those who earnestly believe in and welcome the separate school. Believing in a fair consideration of both sides of a question, I welcome letters from adherents to the latter view. Anonymity will be overlooked. Be not surprised if the rumor that the American Legion is supporting the separate school effort at Blythe is well founded. The Legion is only a cross-section of American life. There, you will find Jew and Gentile, progressive and reactionary, socialist and aristocrat. We can only hope to make some friends among the membership, to build up a fortress of tolerance, and to bargain well as to the questions of for what; for whom, and with whom we will next sacrifice our lives. Galaxies and super-galaxies of stars swing in the celestial firmament with a harmony unheard by human ears. In the vast concourse of Infinity and Eternity, there is a smaller star, called the Sun. Of the subsidiaries of the sun's planetary system is the Earth, itself only one of billions of astronomical bodies, only a speck of dust. Upon the earth, a small creature, Man, has been endowed with a spark of the Divine Intelligence. Through painful ages, he has emerged to this day with many problems, some of his own creation. It is to the solution of some of the more serious of these problems thattheinterest of colored youth should be intrigued, his conscience should be challenged, and his energies directed. Existence holds more than rolling a pill, pulling a tooth, laying a brick, training a refractory pupil, pushing a broom, administering a specific, or putting a crapshooter "on the ground."

Curtis, Pastor) Very lively Sunday school with the teachers and students in their respective places. The school was addressed by Rev. T. C. Bledsoe, the father of Dr. R. W. E. Bledsoe. Many visitors were present and attendance was very good. Eleven o'clock services were conducted by Rev. Bledsoe who preached wonderful sermon using for his subject, "Patience and Endurance" and was a sermon that was appreciated by a very splendid congregation. The B. Y. P. U. met at 6:30. The young as well as the older ones came out in numbers to know the work of construction that is now being sponsored by Brothers Lee Copney and the President. The evening services were conducted by Rev. Banks, of Los Angeles. His sermon was very timely and full of spiritual inspiration. The girls are endeavoring to put over a program that will be a credit to their church and community as well. We are urging all friends to come out and encourage our girls. Sunday, September 16th Rev. Bledsoe has been requested to preach the sermon in the morning and at 7:45 the girls will render a sacrific program. The following Sunday will be "Boy's Day." The girls are under the supervision of Mesdames Knox, Bledsoe, Fotier and White. Rev. Bledsoe, of Tyler, Texas, is spending several weeks in the city with his son, Dr. R. W. E. Bledsoe and family. He is being favored with many social functions from old and new friends since his stay here. Rev. Bledsoe likes California and its many interesting sceneries. Junk Dealer CALL DELAWARE 1022-M.

Walker, Pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church, of Oxnard, was in the service of Beth Eden all day Sunday, and in the evening at a late hour was presented by Rev. Jones, Acting Pastor, to the congregation. As the speaker of the evening, owing to the late hour, Rev. Walker did not have time to preach but he placed before his hearers the subject: "As God or Christ." His text was found in Prov. 18:24—"But there is a Friend that sticketh closer than a Brother." The thought advanced was that Christians should be loyal to truth and sacred to their profession of friendship. Un-Incorporated Baptists at Shreveport (By: A. N. P.) Shreveport, La., Sept. 10.—Coliseum Fair Grounds, Ministers and laymen, men and women from forty-eight states and State Conventions took part in the opening of the 49th annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America, Unincorporated, which convened in this city Wednesday. These messengers represent a constituency of three and one-half million Negro Baptists. Special trains began to arrive at Shreveport. Tuesday morning and almost every hour from that time on they continued to arrive. There will be three sessions every day, morning, afternoon and evening for both the men and women. The place of the Women's Convention is the Gallilee Baptist Church. It is presided over by Mrs. G. M. Davidson, of Chicago, Illinois, and they have their fixed program that is being adhered to religiously throughout the week. The program, as submitted this morning, verified by the Convention proper, provides for reports of all officers of the Convention and reports from everyone of the organized boards which have been operating during the fiscal year. A set of officers, for the year with Board members will be chosen before the convention adjournings. Many cities are bidding for the next year's meeting.

THOS. J. LAWSON Asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the host of foes. Asleep in Jesus; for from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But thine is still a blessed sleep. From whence none ever wakes to weep. Mr. Thomas J. Lawson came to live with Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Spicer, July 2, 1918, at 814 San Julian St. There he lived until Tuesday, August 28, 1928, for 7 years they lived happy together. They knew nothing of Mr. Lawson but a Christian gentleman. After the death of Mrs. Spicer in 1923, Mr. Johnson and I went to live with my uncle, Mr. Spicer, there we met Mr. Lawson as an inmate in the home and for five years we have known him as a Christian. He never said much about the life he was living, but he lived it. To know him was to love him. He was very quiet and lived somewhat of aclusive life. In the home he was quiet, never complaining about anything, always ready to give a smile and his peculiar laugh. Monday evening he came in apparently well. Stopping at the mail box as usual, looking over the mail, he came to his room and spoke to me. I asked him how he was and he said he was fine. I did not see him any more alive. I heard him go out. Tuesday morning about 5:10 and about 2:30 P. M. his cousin, Mr. Peterson, brought me the sad news that he was called to his eternal home by death. our family had learned to love him, but God loved him best and has taken him from us: he cannot come back to us any more, but we can go to him. We extend our sympathy to his be-weared cousins, and with the poet we say: And must I be to judgment brought, And answer in that day For every vain and idle thought, And every word I say? Yes, every secret of my heart Shall shortly be made known And I receive my just desert For all that I have done. How careful then, ought I to live With what religious fear: Who such a strict account must give For my behaviour here. And make my peace with God before I at thy bar appear. To Our Beloved Inmate, Mr. Lawson Sleep thy last sleep free from care or sorrow; Rest where none weep, till th' eternal morrow; Though dark waves roll o'er the silent river. Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver. Life's dream s past—all its sins, its sadness Brightly at last dawns a day of gladness Under the sod, earth receives our treasure. To rest in God, waiting all his pleasure. Though we may mourn those in life the dearest. They shall return, Christ, when thou appearest. Soon shall thy voice comfort those now weeping. Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, Mr Lawson. MRS. GERTRUDE L. JOHNSON. RECTOR MADE PRINCIPAL OF GAUDET (By: A. N. P.) Now Orleans, La., Sept. 10—Rev. St. Julian A. Simpkins, Spartansburg, S.

POLITICAL DIGEST IN THE CAMP OF THE "HAPPY WARRIOR"-AL SMITH Who Is This Man James A. Alexander? ANALYSING THE NEGRO HEAD OF SMITH FOR PRESIDENT CLUBS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BY: LAWRENCE F. LaMAR COME! JOIN THE HAPPY THRONCS--THE K. K. K. CONDEMNS THE NECRO, THE CATHOLIC, AND THE JEW POPULAR POLITICAL GREETINGS YOU KNOW ME AL! It is of considerable importance to the people of Southern California, that they should know something of the person, upon whose shoulders, Democratic leaders have reposed so much confidence. MR. JAS. A. ALEXANDER, who has followed the record of GOV. A. FUND F. SMITH, as a most assiduous student of American Politics, has for a considerable length of time been one of his greatest admirers, even when he was one of the trusted Lieutenants of the G. O. P. When leaders of California Democracy began casting about for a leader among the colorful people, who were familiar with and appealed to the records of Gov. Smith, and who, also, were familiar with local politics, they found their man in the person of Mr. Alexander. NOW FOR WHO HE IS Fraternally. Mr. Alexandr is an Elk and a Mason; Religious—He is a Protestant being a member of the Oh and Towne A. M. E. Church; Positively. He is a Republican, now hold a governmental office here during Prince Tutt's administration; Locally. He is Black, and an appright, honorable American Citizen. That's that type of man the Democratic leaders have entrusted with the responsibility to bring Gov. Alfred E. Smith to the colored Voters. Headquarters are maintained at 29th and Central and Hist and Central. COME! JOIN THE HAR K. K. CONDEMNS CATHOLIC, A Well, Well! Looks as though we have those Kay Kays on the run now, let's keep 'em going, @vvv the toy, boy! At them. Won't be long now!

Don't mistake this fact, dear people, this is one time you will have to face issues that vividly affect us, squaresly. I don't kid yourself. Then, you don't know what real forces it is behind all this trickster about Al Smith. Don't sit there and tell me you don't know! Do you think for a minute that you would of pose, or hardly anyone else, Al Smith, if he were a Protestant, or a Republican? You feel that he is one of the best men ever produced on POPULAR POLITI YOU KNOW Rumblings Of The Crus The Ku Klux would n't pruit this in the touch. If a white man would even think of doing it they would lynch him. Can you imagine this: A white man, and a southern white man too, and from Texas! Working z almostly managing a Black man's campaign to secure an elective office, ever a white man! Can you imagine that! Yes, that's just exotic what's taking place, right here in Los Angeles in the 73rd Assembly District where two men running for the office of Assembly man then that District are white and Republican; the other is Black, and a Democrat. Last in further; the white Republican is known to have the Klan endorsement! Are you people in the 73rd District still going to remain in under this state of facts—R publicen? No! A thousand times Not! The Black Man is a Democrat, and, as I said his campaign manager is white, and a Southerner.

In the midst of this thought the activities of the Colored women under the leadership of Miss Theodore Jones was a sensation and more so when it was known that at the dinner given on last Sunday more than 100 women all pledged to Smith, were present, things began to pick up. All bands are looking forward to the big banquet which will take place next Monday evening, at the Somerville Hotel under the auspices of the Colored Women's Smith-for-President Club. INTELLIGENT LEADERSHIP Miss Theodore Jones has demonstrated a real leadership, she is keen of intellect, tactful and shows a marked degree of intelligence. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California, and is at present a law student. REPUBLICANS ASLEEP Thus far the republican continent have not awakened to the situation, which will doubtless draw strongly upon the heterodox solid vote. For he it known that many stance and life long republicans of the Color group have no hesitation in announcing themselves as favorable to the candidacy of Governor Smith. The Eagle reporter has locked in vain for republican activity and finds not the slightest indication of action. Just what this action portends it is hard to hazard a guess, but one thing certainly and sure, there is going to be a man's job to get the old ship of state on its doe and regular course unless somebody wakes up and greases the skids for action.

Loyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place and his neighbors which dismisses the thought of self interest or policy and resolves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in his power to make the city a better place in which to live. There are three distinct attitudes which a citizen may assume toward the place in which he lives, which furnishes him food, shelter and association for himself and family, to boost, to remain quiet or to knock. The booster is that ideal citizen who is never forgetful of the obligations which is due the home city. He is ever found at the front when any movement is launched which might tend to the advancement of the interest of the city or group. While others see darkly, to him good is visible at all times. The quiet citizen is satisfied to let the neighbor do the work and content to lull the city asleep and let it rest. The knocker is the man who is without a country. There is no room for him anywhere, his presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or group of men who unfortunately come in contact with him. Having no faith in his own ability to go forward, he naturally lacks faith in his home city and race to do so. You have the chance to belong to either of the three classes. If you are a booster, your neighbor knows it well and will boost you. If you are aligned with the quiet class, you will not be regarded one way or the other, for the man who elects to steer in the middle of the stream, gets no support from either side. If unfortunately you are a knocker, get ready to be knocked, for eventually it is coming to you. As you give, so will it be meted out to you. Los Angeles would be an ideal city if only there were more ideal citizens. Let's have them. BUYING IN There is no statement more fallacious than "you can buy cheaper out of town." Yet it surely is not uncommon in this city. Every town and city has its population of mail order and out-of-town buyers, but fortunately for the home-town merchants, the home-town itself and the residents in that town, that proportion of out-of-town buyers is never large. There may be instances where there have been apparent economies through buying away from home but how do the books balance at the final reckoning? If the purchases have been made by mail what saving is left after the time, postage and carrying charges re-deducted? Is the railroad fare added to the shopping expenses on those bargain hunting excursions to the nearby city or larger town? Is there not also a value in dollars and cents for the worry, delay and disappointment that is inevitable in mail order buying? There is an unselfish community side of this buying-at-home question which cannot be ignored by the good citizen. People who believe in Los Angeles must believe in its merchants who are an integral part of their town. Buying-at-home serves a double purpose when people buy at home, though their buying the home-town merchants prosper, the town prospers because of the prosperity of its merchants, public improvements follow municipal prosperity, and the public benefits from the public improvements. Can anybody afford to trade away from home when there is always a means of getting what they want at home and at as good or better prices than the same goods cost away from home? Keep on buying at home and the merchants will not stop buying for you. HAVING "A GOOD FRONT" "Run down at the heel"—it speaks loudly; your character is judged largely by it; your whole fortune may be dependent upon it; so, young man, young woman, start in right, and never be "run down at the heel." All of us owe it to ourselves, our families and our friends to dress well. This is not an advertisement for the clothing merchant; it is a plea for better dress and for what it means. Better dress does not mean that we shall "flower out" in a brand new suit every time that fashion decrees a change; we can dress well by dressing neatly and not faddishly, and we can dress well without expensive clothing. We can be neat in appearance without a new suit; we can be clean; our shoes can be clean—and not run down at the heel—and our hat can reflect good taste. "The first thing I notice about a woman is her hat and then I look at her shoes," is the observation of a Los Angeles man, who dresses well, but not expensively, and whose wife dresses well, but not expensively. "A good front" gets one by; it carries an introduction by itself; it inspires confidence; it brings business; it is an ambassador of commercial progress; it is vital to a young man or a young woman; it is vital to the middle aged; it is decidedly pleasing in people of old age. We—all of us—like to meet folks with "a good front." We ought to cultivate the habit of always having "a good front." "A good front" gets one by; it carries an introduction by community, and "a good front" is never "down at the heel." "A good front" is slang for being well dressed. Thoughtful parents are those who try very hard to live up to their children. THE SOMERVILLE HOTEL Appreciation now being expressed on all sides and from the travelling public as well, favorable to the great Somerville Hotel, brings forcibly to our attention, the fact of the worthiness of the situation which will give to this enterprise a most loyal and genuine support. To carry on the thought every man and woman who possibly can should without hesitation or mental reservation buy a unit or more of shares as a demanstration of their appreciation. In so doing it is no gamble and outside of the realization of a fairly safe return upon the investment you will strengthen the group, immeasurably so in the eyes of the financial world, which will be able to point to the fact that our group will rally to the things which are worth while. Then in the future when per chance even a great program along the line of production is presented there will be no question of securing the very necessary financial aid to launch it. From every viewpoint and angle of business the race should rally to the very splendid and magnanimous offer of this company and buy shares liberally to the end of a practical demonstration to support to the things worth while. AVARICIOUS BUSINESS GHOULS We keep on hearing now as we have for the past decade or so, that there are individuals, coteries and possibly groups who are dissatisfied with the way the newspapers are being conducted in this field of effort. In answer to this thought we will say, such thoughts will ever maintain until the end of time. This particular newspaper has weathered the storms of protest for nigh unto fifty years, nearly a score of the same under its present management. As a matter of fact, the Eagle has waxed fat from the carcasses which have made this bailiwick a veritable grave yard of Negro Journals. From memory's urn we call forth a few of them which blossomed out to overwhelm and bury us heels up. As follows: "The Liberator"; "The Progress"; "The Poloyanna"; "The Western World"; "The Searchlight"; "The Advocate"; "The New Era"; "The Progressive"; "The Defender" (Not the Pacific Defender); "The Free Lance"; "The Citizen"; "The Clarion"; "The Western News"; "The Western Dispatch" and others which we cannot recall at this moment. hey are all in the newspaper graveyard, we are still here. We saw them come, we watched them go. Now with a campaign at hand and some of our embryonic business geniuses figuring on becoming competitors after we have put them on their feet, we are prepared to welcome others to our field. We do this in face of the fact that we recognize they are playing a deep game and in their zeal to overcome they must look out for themselves, or they will be the victims of their own availance. COMMENTS COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The California State Fair is a memory. A pleasant memory to most of the thousands who thronged the grounds and buildings for a view of the resources of the "Sunshine State." The exhibits were a revelation even to a student of the State's resources. The diversity of products; pedigreed stock that almost baffled the keenest judging; its wealth of minerals and precious stones, all of these kept the great crowds in wondering interest. The Educational exhibit was a revelation of California's great system for developing worthwhile American citizens. The exhibits showed results of the most modern methods of teaching the young ideas how to expand and follow the trend which would allow them the greatest latitude in determining their avocations. Art work that showed for future possibilities; Artisanship which presaged splendid workmanship in time to come. If California's State Fair—which now has reached the dignity of an EXPOSITION—did no more than produce the results of its great school system it would still rank as the premier State for big production. One of the most pleasant episodes of the Fair was the testimonial given the venerable citizen of Sacramento, B. A. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is one of the pioneer caterers of Sacramento, and for fifty years has catered to the directors and officers of the State Fair. Incidentally, his eightieth birth date fell on the opening date. Mr. Johnson was called into the room where the directors had been in session and felicitated upon having seen so many years of life. He was told that "No words could express the feelings of the directors in their wish to convey their appreciation for his years of conscientious service." They spoke in the highest of terms of his efficiency and courtesy. They lauded his worth as a representative citizen of the community, and deemed him worthy of the emulation of his fellows. Though taken by surprise, the venerable citizen responded eloquently. Sometimes his voice became choked and he had to struggle with the emotion that welled in his bosom, his words elicited spontaneous applause. The token of the directorate; a gold medal studded with precious stones and suitably engraved. This presidential election promises to be the "tangliest" affair, ever pulled off in the annals of American politics. Democrats for Hoover and Republicans for Smith. If the news is to be credited, and we take it all with the proverbial grain of salt. Alabama, or what is worse, Mississippi, will cast their electoral votes for Hooven and "Rock ribbed" Pennsylvania and Iowa will instruct for Smith. Every day we learn of some former Republican, who in fifty years had never voted otherwise, deserting his party and going over to the enemy, or sqm dyeed-in-the-wool Democrat, who would rather vote for a "yaller dog" than to vote for a Republican, laying aside his political prejudice and joining the procession of elephants. Yes, according to hearsay you see the elephants and the donkeys travelling in strange paths. Some of them don't know where they are going, but they are on their way. It doesn't seem as if the West is going to get much of a thrill out of this election. The battlesstrategy seems to be centered in the East. Which ever candidate carries the seaboard States is most sure of election. The heavy artillery of oratory will lay down the heaviest barrage east of the Rockies. The ammunition for the battle will be gathered and expended in the States which carry the biggest electoral votes. Well: you know the old saying about the failure of the "off laid plans." From the way that things are framing up and the tangle of the present political situation most any of the little electoral numerals may decide the issue. It is interesting to listen to the arguments of the party deserters. None of them have the slightest regard for any of the issues which should really be of interest to a voter and a citizen. Prohibition, with its many ramifications; religion, with its many prejudices; these seem to be, and are the greatest reason for the political deflection. One man will vote for Smith because he wants to see the intolerance of religious prejudice for ever buried. Another man will vote for Hoover because of his fear of religious predominance. So, there you are. Few think to study what effect a change of administration would have on our national prosperity. What effect it might have on our foreign trade in import and export. Few think of these things and the spell-binders are careful not to talk too much about them. Of course the Colored voter will dwell in the past. Long, long ago, the politician has ceased to wave the "Bloody Shirt" of the Civil War. That used to be one of the means used to keep alive the prejudice of sectional hatred. Today the orator who would revert to such unseemly methods would be hissed from th platform. Then why this day should we keep alive the one thing which sets us apart as citizens of the nation? Why not cast in our lots and our votes as citizens forgetting the efforts to set us apart? When you ask for special legislation in your behalf you become a medicant, and medicants receive little sympathy and are objects of disrespect. We are virtually opposed to segregated political clubs as much as so as we object to segregated schools or having courts decide where or where not we may reside. When you segregate yourselves in one thing you can expect it in other things. If my advice to Mr. Hoover's management is worth anything it can be given in any company without regard to color or greed. If you are going over to the Smith camp insist on being a regular. Of course when all is said and done, the man who has voted the ticket since the days of "Abe Lincoln," is going to forget everything else when he gets in the secret precincts of the voting booth. And the fellow who would rather vote for the "yaller dog" than a "dod gasted" Republican, is going to forget all about Herbert Hoover when he makes his mark. Friday, Sept. 14, 1928 Senator Hiram Johnson received an ovation when he visited the State Fair on the day set aside for the Governor. There will be no contest for the Toga. It's a walk away. He will be at liberty to lend his energy andeloquencebehalf of the Republican nominee. He promised so to do. The dynamic force of his oratory will be of great assistance in steming the rising tide of the Democrat Party. He will be in great demand and the only thing we fear is that he mightimpairhishealth and inapacitate himself for the big fight which will come off in the Senate chamber in December—the fight for BOULDER DAM. ( Ey · A. N. P. ) Chicago, IL, Sept. 10.—As one of the concluding acts of the 29th annual convention of the improved Benefe- lent Protective Order of Elks of the World, held here last week, the com- mite on r solutions offered a statement to the delegates, which was ap- proved, defending Perry W. Howard, Republican National Committee from Mississippi and grand legal act- ion from the state who was recently inducted because of the alleged sale of federal offices in his state. WHY THE NEGRO SHOULD VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET Describing him as "one of the leaders of our race, ever fighting the righteous cause of his people, not only in Elkdon, but in the broader fields of public and political opinion," and suggesting that he "is now being sacrificed upon the altar of political expediency and racial prejudice," the Elks resolved that they go on to as expressing their confidence in their hardward, extend to him our sympathy and assure him of our heartiest co-operations. BY: BENJAMIN W. INGHRAM The hour has come for the American Negro to reveal himself. The generous energies of a people can now be emancipated ed. We can now save ourselves from despair. Each of the major political parties have removed their age old cloak and have donned a fine business cut. Each Party has the finest type of Business Man at its head. These moves sound the death knell to the old order of things. When the political parties moved the dishonest type of White Political Leaders, instantly the dishorst type of Black Political Leaders disappeared. By this shifting of things, strategy will not have lost its value. The strategy of the old political leader so far as the Negro and the Farmer is concerned, was a means to an end; their memory failed them as soon as their way was paved to their goal; but the New Business strategy will know the last value of its accomplishments and where it works good this year by proper cultivation, adjustment and renovation without changing its shape it can be made to work better in the future. ```markdown ``` The resolution was signed by J. M. P. Westbrook, chairman of the committee and Casper W. Holstein, of the Monarch Lodge, New York, which had passed a similar resolution prior to the convention. It was directed that a copy of the resolution be sent to Mr. Howard and other copies to the department of justice and Dr. Hubert Work. INDICT WHITE MAN FOR RAPE OF COL- ORED GIRL The Democratic Party slaps the Negro in the face. It insults the intelligence of the Negro. The Party is like a merchant who comes with his wares and attempts to sell to us. What has the party to offer the Negro that the Negro could honorably accept? They would raise a monument in Dixie to Black Mammy but refuse a monument to perpetuate the memory of the Black Men who preserved the honor and integrity of young Womanhood when it had combed the South of every White man. Or a monument to the Slave who for two hundred and fifty years gave his labor which made the idle rich. (By: A N P) How can I describe the Party of Wilson other than the nondescript that would now barter with seven million Black Americans; and how can I describe the Black American other than nomads who, leaving his Republican home in a strange country, "Look what Tammany has given us." Yes, they are the monster ever bent on destruction. The Party of the Buccaneer of Alabama, the sea Pirate that ravaged the seven seas; the party of the Aristocrat that sold our fathers for gain; that lashed our Mothers in child-birth, that used our sisters for their own greedy lust and passion and fury. And even now the blood of many black boys run cold with fear because of them. Democratic propaganda has been going on for eight years preparing for this day. The Negro is yelping all over the country, "Look what Tammany has given us." Yes, they are the Democrats, what they have given us in one state or locality, they have taken from us in another. Remember this, "a fowl is never ready for market until he's fattened." Don't be the fowl in this case. What Smith has done for the Negro in New York State shouldn't place us in the Democratic Chicken Pen. New Orleans, La. Sept. 16—John C. Carey, a white night watchman, who is alleged to have raped, on August 7, a young colored girl, age 12 was indicted for rape by the Orleans parish grand jury last Thursday. The same grand jury returned an indictment of murder against Sam Zion, a young white man, who on July 17, is alleged to have shot and killed Miss Ada Ellen Jones, a young colored girl, age 17, when it is claimed, that for the fun of the thing Zion fired into a group returning from a party. The crime charged against Carey has been pronounced a most reproducible one. With witnesses it is learned that the victim, accompanied by a friend, Dolores Bolds, age 11, went into a grocery to make a purchase Carey and another white man, soothing the girls alone, left in advance of them and hid in some tall weeds nearby. When the girls passed on their way home, Carey is alleged, as the print shows, to have made out to them if they made any entree. The Bolds girl states that she was forced to witness the ravishing of her friend. A Party that resents all the laws on the statute books that would affect the material welfare and the prosperity of our group is not a fit party to trust during this new era of commercial, religious and economic re-adjustments. On the other hand, the Negro must get away from selfishness and greed. More selfishness has been shown between Negroes in this political campaign than in any previous campaign. Thomas Epps, colored, from a distance witnessed the accosting of the girl and hastily gathered some 30 men, while police were being summoned. The timely arrival of the police prevented the crowd from wraking vengeance on Catey who fled and was captured in his shack, where he serves as a watebman for the Southern railroad. Also the Negro as a whole must interest themselves in all the major problems that confront the nation. The New Negro, I believe, sees this. The issues are the Tariff, National Finance, and Farm Relief. These effect all alike. Then let us be Americans. Liquor has been poured in bountifully. It is a marvelous thing to really pour this problem into our minds that are legal voters, than to pour the poison into the stomachs and bodies of our children. The murder of Miss Jones arrows of the public to an intense deceiver. She was returning from a party and was walking peacefully along, when Zion approached in an automobile and deliberately shot into a crowd, killed the girl, and sped away. Zion had been told by a crowd of young whitehoods that they had been "chasing a bunch of darkies," it is choreographed, and that he fired at the first color of people he saw. Catholicism has its seat in Rome and I cannot believe that the tenet of such a faith regardless of America's religious tolerance has a place in Washington. King James of England dealt a blow to Catholicism in his reign and would end the war on the colonies rather than see the then dreaded faith plant its seed in the founding of America at Plymouth. THE KLAN Many Negroes are against the Republican Party because of the Klan. The duty of the Negro is to the Republican Party. Give it your whole strength. The Klan is the minority, the Negro the majority. Our duty in this, the opening of a new age, is to clear the air; to bring about common counsel, to set up a standard for all the races and Leagues of America, to demonstrate that we are fighting no people, that we are trying to bring all to respect one another; that we are not the friend of any class against any class, but that our duty is to make classes agree. The local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the agency force of the Unity Insurance Company, and a number of other organizations raised a fund of $100,000 to the murderer. Zion was arrested two days after the killing and was identified. Two colored attorneys, A. P. Tureand and C. J. Mundy, were retained to assist in the prosecution of the murderer and Attorney Tureand worked up the evidence against. Zion resulting in the returning of the indictment for murder. After Zion's arrest he was released on bond but was charged with the murder. Indictment was returned against him. The police officials have been vigilant in both cases against Carey and Zion and the district attorney welcomed the aid of the colored lawyers. Our part is to lift so high the incomparable standard of the common interest and the common justice that all men with visions, all men with hope, all men with the convictions of America in their hearts will crowd to that standard and a new day of achievements may come for the liberties which we love. BENJAMIN WESLEY INGHRAM, 982 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, Cal The Weekly Survey Catches Prowler Under Window Sash BY: LEON WHITAKER [EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Whitaker holds the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, and the Doctor's Degree in Jurisprudence from the same institution. Having specialized in law and government, and having spent a year as an editor of the California Law Review, he ably qualities as a student of, and a writer on, legal and social problems.] (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Sept. 10—Watching a prowerer creep up to the open window of his home shortly before midnight, George Foster bided his chance, and as the intruder inserted his head, jammed the sash down on his neck, holding him helpless. The police were notified and on arrival found the intruder caught like a rat in a trap, but struggling to free himself. A pair of handcuffs were slipped on his wrists before the sash was raised by the officers. Their prisoner gave his name as Maurice Perez, a native of Porto Rico. Perez had a narrow escape from being guillotined as the sash held his head like the spring of a rat trap. Despite the reams of editorial comment, and the inflated optimism, concerning peace and prosperity, the people of this country may well realize that they are approaching war or revolution. One or the other of these two inevitables must take place within the next twenty years. The masses find themselves burdened and crushed with taxes and mortgages. They find their physical and mental energies being concentrated into vast accumulations of individual's wealth. Their natural resources are constantly seized by acquisition would-be (Continued on Page Ten) SPORT PAGE CALIFORNIA EAGLE TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES AIR RACES HUGE SUCESS GREATEST BOXING AND WRESTLING SHOW STAGED FOR URBAN LEAGUE KIDDIES MONDAY NIGHT SAW $500,000 WORTH OF TALENT AT THE WHITE SOX BALL PARK VOLUME 42 AIR GREATEST BOXING SHOW STAGED LEAGUE MONDAY NIGHT SAW $500.00 AT THE B That the monster boxing and wrestling card staged before 1500 delighted spectators at White Sox Park, Monday night by Harry Levette, Sports Editor of this publication for the Urban League Fresh Air Fund was the greatest array of talent ever on one program has been the opinion expressed all over the city. This is the program just as presented: Ace Hudkins vs. Harry Bubble Johnson; Bert Colima vs. Jimmy Peterson; Santiago Zorrilla vs. Herbie Kid Turchi (act stole the show); Young Nationalista vs. Eagle Thomas; Neil Cisby vs. Young Franklin; John Lester Johnson vs. Ernest Bendy; Sailor Pay Kosky vs. Lightning Davis; Willie Henry vs. Tiger Joe Rivers; Mack House vs. Louis Wilson; Young ole Jeanette vs. Murphy Guidry; Rudy Guyton vs. Young Pancho Villa; Wrestlers vs. Maliceniz vs. Mortison. Up to the time of the Godfrey Uzcdin Titanic at Wrigley Field, Ace Hudkins had drawn the largest, crowds in the history of the Western boxing game, while any of the other nationally famous boxers have been good to turn crowds away from the old Vernon Arena or the Olympic Auditorium. As the Evening Record said in an interview they published the day of the benefit: "Levette says anybody knows such fighters call for a payment on the Belgian war debt before they will box for a matchmaker, yet it took me just one hour in the gymnast to sign up some of the world's greatest boxers and wrestlers with the magic word—Charity." A WONDERFUL SHOW Everything moved with clock-like precision. Opened with a selection by the Newboys' quartet and several jazz numbers by Bradley's band. The eleven bouts and a wrestling match were kept following each other in rapid succession by Old Folks Willamore, Main St. A. C. trainer and John Forbes, well known manager of Herbi Kid Turchi, Rudy Guyton and a number of other good boys and former athletic instructor of athletics in the British army. Dan Toby, famous announcer was master of ceremonies and not only handled the program with his usual dispatch but kept the crowd laughing with his frequent jokes and tales. Mickey Walker and Jack Kearns were unable to attend also were Leo Carrillo and Bull Mon tana, famous movie stars. ACE HUDKINS OPENS SHOW Ace Hudkins famous Nebraska Wildcat opened the show with a fast match full of thrills with Harr (Bubber) Johnson. All the other matches were as exciting as many championship fights and several of them developed into real battles such as the Willie Henry-Joe Rivers bout. The wrestling matches staged by Lou Daro were a revelation to many who had never seen one, and his show made many a wrestling fan. JACK THOMPSON CROWNED Another event of the evening came when Young Jack Thompson just returned the day before was called from the ringside where he sat with his mother and father, and a beautiful gold crown set on his head by a pretty girl as Mr. Toby announced him "the recognized World's Middleweight Champion." FAMOUS RINGSIDERS Among the many famous persons of the Sports and business world who honored the affair with their presence were Mr. Silas Masters, general manager of the Olympic Auditium; Carlo Curtis of the Main St. "House of Action"; Mortie Cohen of the Pasadena Arena; J. B. Bass, editor and publisher of the California Eagle; Billy Van, editor of the Knock Out magazine; John E. Prowd, Business Manager of the California Eagle; STAR ICE CREAM CO. PURE INDEPENDENT Wood Wilson, reactor and county of ficial; Norman Hartford of the Ker win-Hartford Publicity Co.; Art Hudkins, brother and co-manager of Ace Lou Daro and brother; Miss Rainbow Sissetto, famous cross-continental walker and "Bill" Bomb inspector of the State Athletic Commission; Henry Jones, brilliant sport editor of the New-Age Dispatch was among those forced to climb into the ring and take a bow. Mrs. Josephine Brown and members of the various tennis clubs occupied a special box as did Mrs. Katherine Barr and officials of the Urban League just returned from the kiddies camp at Pacific Palisades. A FINANCIAL SUCCESS Although the expense attendant on the temporary arena was considerable, a tidy and very helpful sum was raised to help defray the heavy cost of the summer camp, which ran about $500, and from their headquarters in the new Bloedgett Building the League is bigcasting hearty thanks to the noble athletes who performed for their assistance and the public who patronized by their attendance. Carl Edwards Meet Mexican Jack Dempsey at Main Street Athletic Club --- Mexican Jack Dempsey and Carl Edwards, light heavyweights, have replaced 'Al Fay, Jack Kearns' heavyweight prospect, and Albert Dridden as next Saturday night's headliners at the Main Street Athletic Club, Manager Carlo Curtis announced today. Kearns is leaving tonight for New York and is taking Fay, Mickey Walker and Teddy Hays along. The big Mexican battler was a sensation at "the house of action" until he was forced to retire several months ago with a pair of bad bands. He is a dynamite waller and crashed most of his opponents with alarming ease. Edwards has stopped six opponents in a row at the Main street club. He is training every day with Charley Pitts formerly one of the best lightweight in the game. Young Nationalista Beats Allen Whitlow Young Nationalista Beats Allen Whitlow In the main event at the Hollywood American legion stadium, Sept. 8th, Young Nationalista won nine out of ten rounds and the verdict from Allan Whitlow, from Arizona, Whitlow's only round was the first in which he came out to put up his best offensive of the night. From that time on he faded badly. The Filipino lad had a tough time in reaching Whitlow. Nationalista was contious, for he did not wish to break his knuckles on the Arizonaan's elbow. In the semi-windup Jackie Mandell won five out of six rounds from Benny furrell. Ramon Lugo and Marceline Lomelli fought six rounds to a draw in the special event. Rudy Guyton and Tommy Cleary fought a draw in the four-round curtain raiser. EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1928 WHO in any measure helped to make boxing benefit for needy Urban League kiddies a success. The greatest test of nobility of character or of sportsmanship comes when the opportunity presents itself to do something for the poor and needy. The Urban League each summer tries to provide at least a week's outing to the poor unfortunate kids and their mothers who have no other means by which to get a little fresh air, sunshine and recreation. Messrs. John and Joe Pirrone, owners of White Sox Park gave the park at cost of operation; Mr. Silas Masters, capable manager of the Olympic Auditorium donated the cost of moving the ring; Mr. Carlo Curtis furnished the ring and accessories; Downey Bros. rented the extra chairs at a low figure; Mr. Dan Tobey, famous announcer and business man gave his time and talent to supervise the affair; Messrs. Miller, Lawler, and a companion whose name was not learned in taking over the office work and accounting, donated the services of what is perhaps the most capable accountants in the West, the men who counted the $50000 of the Godfrey-Uzcudin fight before 9:30. A large squad of firemen off watch from Engine 36 donated their services, as well as a number of policemen aside from those detailed by Capt. Hager of Newtown Station. The Examiner, Times, News, Express, Record and Herald all deserve thanks for the great help they gave with daily stories; the Pacific Defender and the New Age-Dispatch are gratefully thanked for the streamers they ran each issue. Thanks to Mr. Porter, Mr. Armstrong and the rest of the staff or ushers. Thanks to Mr. Tom Gallery for the radio announcements from the Hollywood stadium. Thanks to Mr. Geo. Bowman of the Referee for his help toward making the show possible, to Mr. Bob White who referred the bouts, to Johnny Forbes, Joe (Old Folks) Willamare and by all means to Mr. Lamar DeLavillade, manager of Tiger Joe Rivers, Young Joe Jeanette, Young Franklin, Duke Hoffman and a number of other good fighters.

Jack Thompson's Manager Sued by Baby Gan's Manager (From the Cleveland Press) Larney Lichtenstein, manager of Baby Joe Gans, California Colored lightweight sensation, intends bringing civil suit against Ray Alvis, manager of Young Jack Thompson, dusky wetter who last week knocked out wetterweight champion Joe Dundee. According to Lichtenstein, Alvis was NN'S PHARMA 9TH AND CENTRAL LY STAR ICE CREA When your Sweet Tooth say Peerless CABS MUual 4141 responsible for a story published in last Monday's Cleveland Press in which it said that Thompson had defeated Gans on the Pacific Coast. Lichtenstein told newspapermen that Thompson and Gans had never met in actual combat and that the only time they ever exchanged gloved compliments, was in gymnasium brawls, and on those occasions Gans always had the better of the exchanges. "If it was Alvis' intention to take away from Gans' reputation he has failed in his purpose. Gans never met Thompson for the simple reason that Young Jack and his hanklers knew enough to keep them apart. Gans is highly incensed and is just raring to go. I intend filing civil suit in a few days in Cleveland and expect to get definite word, from my attorneys to days." Lichtenstein declared. Mack House Knocks Out Sailor Jack Lee Ma'ing a break in his sensational series of one-round knockouts, it took six rounds for Mack House "The Cali- ifornia Bear" to dispose of Sailor Jack Lee, fast, tough, white heavy- weight.

He also absorbed a lot of punishment before Mack finally knocked him cold with a Negro Artists and Sculptors Exhibit to be Held at San Diego Intended to foster and encourage Negro art, a great exhibit of painting, wood carvings, miniature sculpture and architectural designs is to be held at San Diego, Sept. 16th to the 30th.

After a layoff Monday the Yankees beat the Macks 5-3 Tuesday to take the third straight. Keth got his 49th. Jimmy Black, the Gate City Cydium moved a notch closer to the top of the hea plast Thursday night when he beat Young Farrell nine straight rounds in a ten round bout at Sun Bernardo.

In all of his articles I didn't see the name of one colored player. There is Bert Ritchie of San Diego mentioned in Spring practice, Johnny Rucker or Los Angeles and Rufus Norman, all capable men but who have no show because of Howard Jones and his dislike of Negroes. Black took every round but the tenth. For nine cantos in a row the Quote City had let Farrell have it hot and heavy. He slowed up in the tent and lost it by a shade. This bout was a re-match from the week before. The week before the boys fought a fast and furious draw in an eight-round bout. Jimmy beat the Frisco boy in this bout too, but the referee got color blind, after eight rounds of hectic battling and called it even Steve. But Black proved the referee was all wet by asking the bout last week like a hot minute. What are you going to do U. S. C? Y. M. C. A.

THE COMMENTATOR "HERE COMES THE BRIDE" CLEVER COMEDY PARCE, KEEPS THEATRE GOERS IN CONSTANT UPROAR OF LAUGHTER These wonderful actors, the famous Lafayette Players, demonstrated to the utmost their versatility, when they presented the New York stage success, "Here Comes the Bride." They demonstrated that the ability displayed in their two preceding dramas, "Rain" and "Kick In" can be utilized to a like advantage in the most diversified manner. The huge crowds assembled there nightly were highly amused by the clever manner of doing this comedy number. There seemed to be an almost continuous roar of laughter while the play was in progress. Their appreciative acceptance and praises of the scenery, props, costumes and characters, will not go unthanked. When the patrons show an appreciative attitude toward a dressed up stage, or any other kind of improvement, then the management endeavors to continue the improvement; when otherwise they do no such a thing. MASON THEATRE It is said that "Running Wild" now playing at the Mason was hit such a hard blow by the critics on the daily papers that it seems almost impossible to anticipate recaporation at this setting. In the opinion of the writer this play "Running Wild" is one of the biggest musical comedy successes Los Angeles theatre goers have had the opportunity to seel it is a wow. Everything suggested by the title is lived up to. It appears to be the best drilled company of Jazz-mad artists ever assembled. They come from nothing but high class time.

"In Old Kentucky," that famous drama of the race track, opens at the Lincoln Theater tomorrow night and promises to be the most pretentious production yet offered by the famous Lafayette players. The Lincoln management calls special attention to the fact that "In Old Kentucky" is being presented on the stage with a genuine horse race scene and numerous other special features that will have all Los Angeles talking before the play has run many nights. The fame of "In Old Kentucky" has spread throughout the world and since the original production was first staged many years ago the quaint charm of its beautiful love story has never loosened its hold on the hearts of the theater-goers. Nor is romance the only feature that has made "In Old Kentucky" a lasting favorite. Thrills play an important part throughout the drama's three absorbing acts and there is never an instant when the tense action lags. Evelyn Prer whose success in "Rum" "Kick In" and "Here Cones the Bride," the first three Lafayette Players' presentations, has won her prolonged applause at every performance has a unique role in the current Lincoln attraction. She has the role of "Madge" an untutored mountain girl who defies all the traditions of ataid old Kentucky and dares to ride her lover's horse in the grat sweeps. This scene marks one of the most realistic and thrilling in the entire play and it is of special interest to note that Miss Preer is, herself, an expert rider, making her portrayal of "Madge" a true to life one. In addition to the great horse race scene, "Old Kentucky" also shows a thrilling rescue of horses from a burning stable, a "leap for life" over a wide chasm and numerous other outstanding scenes. The cast includes, besides Miss Preer, such favorites as Edward Thompson, Laura Bowman, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Lawrence Criner, Monte Hawley, Cleo Desmond, Bebe Townsend, Charles Olden, Artbaf Ray and others. A pickaninny band will also add to the innumerable "treats" that will be included in the Lafayette Players' Production of "In Old Kentucky." Phone us (Humboldt 7804) now to reserve your seats.

North Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 10. A new colored high school building, modern in every respect, with a spacious auditorium and costing $45,000, will soon be completed and ready for the opening of school this month. In keeping with the custom to name school buildings in honor of some notable citizen, the school board of North Little Rock met last night and unanimously named the school Scipio A. Jones High School. It was not a difficult task for the school board to decide in whose honor or North Little Rock's new colored high school should be named for Judge Scipio A. Jones stands out as Arkansas's leading Negro and one of the greatest lawyers the race has ever produced. Judae Jones is the general counsel for the Mossic Templars of America, one of the leading Negro fraternal orders in the United States today and general counsel for the International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor, the oldest Negro fraternal order in America. He is state attorney for the Knights of Pythias, the Grand Court of Calanthe, the Supreme Royal Circle Friends of the World, the Sovereign Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of Arkansas, the Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star, and the District Grand Household of Ruth No. 2. He was at one time attorney for the Rock Island Railway and acted as special attorney in the re-organization of the Standard Life Insurance Company when it was reclaimed for the race by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington, D. C., and is now legal adviser for this company and many others. He was elected and served as Special Judge of the Little Rock Municipal Court and in June, 1924, was elected and served as Special Chancellor of the Pulaski County Chancory Court.

According to Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer; A. L. Totten, assistant general organizer; Bennie Smith, field organizer E. J. Bradley, St. Louis division organizer, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Pullman Company has violated its contract with the Pullman porters in the several wage conferences which have been held under the auspices of the Employee Representation Plan under the control of the Pullman Company. Agreements were written and signed by the Company with Pullman porters who were hand-picked which sait Agreement, Mr. L. S. Hungerford, vice-president and general manager of the Pullman Company, upheld before the United States Mediation Board and contended that the Company could not deal with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters because it was morally bound to the contract made with the porters in the wage conference held under the Employee Representation Plan. This statement was made in a written argument to Hon. Edwin P. Morrow, one of the mediators of the United States Mediation Board, when Mr. Morrow recommended and urged that the Pullman Company arbitrate the dispute with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, says A. Philip Randolph, general organizer. The said Agreement, in Article Section C. reads as follows: There shall be no discrimination by the Company or by any of its employees on account of membership or non-membership in any fraternal society or union Despite the fact that the agreement which contains this clause was signed by the representatives of the Pullman Company in alleged good faith with the Pullman porters, the Company has systematically attempted to intimidate Pullman porters from joining the Brotherhood through all forms of reprisals and some discharges, says the porters' chief. As an evidence of said intimidation Mr. F. L. Woods, assistant general manager of the Pullman Company who presides over the Pacific Coast, said in a meeting of the so-called Good Will Committee to a porter: "It still puzzles me to know why you are so loyal to the Company as you have always been and to the Plan of Employee Representation and still belong to the Brotherhood. What benefit do you get out of belonging to the Brotherhood, if in your loyalty to the Company you endorse the Plan of Representation? Why endorse both the Plan and the Union? Why stay away from the fold and belong to the Brotherhood which has been created by somebody who is not a porter?" This statement was calculated to influence the porters against the Union. Coming as it does from a general officer of the Pullman Company who has the power to hire and fire, it is a violation of the contract of the Pullman Company with the porters since, as stated above, in Article 7 Section C of the Agreement, that no discrimination should be practiced against a porter because of membership in a union or fraternal society, says the General Organizer. It is interesting to note in this connection that the Pullman Company would never ask a porter why he be a member of any church or fraternal society, nor has it, according to its contract, the right to ask a porter why be a member of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porter. This disposition to regard the contract with the porters as a scrap of paper is the cause of the lack of faith on the part of the porters in the Plan and their determination to have nothing to do If You Fall To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened with it and support a bona fide union says Organizer Randolph. It is fumed that the Pullman Company is planning to stage another wage conference to make another agreement with porters who are hand-picked and whom the Company can control. According to Randolph, this proposed wage conference is merely intended to attempt to wean the partners away from a bona fide union.

The Big Fight. The organization of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is the beginning of a basic attempt to raise the economic level of the Negro masses and instill manhood into the psychic complex of a large group of Negro males. There is not one thinking person who doubts the soundness of the project; but, a number of Negro preachers and editors, deceived by the glitter of monetary gain, have deliberately turned their backs upon their people. We feel fortunate to have two real men as editors in this part of California. Mr. Joseph B. Bass has shown his stand by his acceptance of the labor endorsement in his recent campaign for the assembly. Mr. Fred Williams has shown his stand by remarks at various meetings. The fight, 's a big one. Yet, with a little more manhood, a bit more stick-to-iteness and it shall surely be successful. Union Pacific Gossip Wild Bill Donovan has severed his connection with the U.

A special meeting is scheduled for the 20th of September. All members and employees are requested to be present. A number of ladies who are much elated over the new club home and are keenly interested in the welfare of the organization have plans under advisement to organize an Auxiliary. A wonderful program has been outlined by these ladies that will keep the club house alive with social functions throughout the winter. A mass meeting will be held in the near future to outline plans to form a credit union that will be a great asset to our group. This is a pet idea of Mr. Clarence R. Johnson, the financial secretary, who wants to see these plans materialize. Red Cap Doings. Cupid scored again Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock when Mr. M. Lewis promised to love, honor and obey.
