1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 PEONAGE VICTIM RETURNED TO HER HOME VOLUME 42 PEONA Juvenile Court Orders Mathenys To Furnish Transportation The case of Hattle Jenkins, which has attracted the attention of all of Southern California, has come to an end. Miss Jenkins is to return to her home in Albany, Georgia, today. It will be remembered that Hattle, not yet 16 years of age, was employed in Georgia by a certain Mrs. Matheny of this city. She was brought to Los Angeles last June, worked from morning until night, forced to tend the neighbor's children as well as her employer's, required to do the family washing, paid two dollars a week, and then, when she remonstrated against such excessive work, was put out in the streets with no place to go. Mrs. Annie Young of South Los Angeles took Hattle in, and cared for her. The Labor authorities threw out Hattie's case last fall. The local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People then took up the case, retaining the services of Attorney Leon Whitaker. The delays and disadvantages attendant upon a civil suit were outlined to Miss Jenkins. She expressed an earnest desire to return to her home, even to the extent of foregoing civil redress. The efforts of the National Association were directed to that end. After repeated hearings, the Juvenile Court of this county ordered the Matheyns to send the girl to her home. The case has been closed in a manner satisfactory to the Eagle, for it stands as one more bulwark against the attempts of the Southerners to inflict peonage upon helpless young girls. The National Association is to be commended for its ready assistance in all matters of a general significance in all matters of a general handling of the case through its attorey, Leon Whitaker, who, it is reported, donated his legal services for this public cause.

It has been a tedious problem to the police, how to raid these alley games and get the goods on the players. This was quite thoroughly solved Wednesday afternoon by and Reed. Both officers are well known by vags, gamblers, bootleggers and all that ilk. Reed, garbed in overalls and an old sweater, came into the alley and backed his way right into their midst. His method was, pretending he was holding a conversation with someone in the distance. "Wait a minute, I'll be back in a minute, don't go away." These were his words used in his backward approach. Then suddenly whirling around, commanding everyone to stand still. Great Peace League Holds Confab in So. Calif.

AMERICAN CAPITALISTS PROMOTE "SLAVE" TRADE BETWEEN CUBA, HAITA AND JAMAICA (By: A. N. P.) New York, Jan. 15.—Desire for gold on the part of American business infeetes has revived the slave trade in the Caribbean according to an illuminating article in the current issue of The Nation, by Arnold Roller, who is impressed with the fact that there is very little difference between the manner in which black "slaves" are now being brought into Cuba and the method employed to bring them to North America. Cuba, of course, is an island where there are many black, brown, and yellow persons. Social distinctions exist between the native whites and the mulattoes who are not able to pass, but there is no official or business discrimination, mulattoes and darker Negroes rising to positions of distinction in professional and official circles, and the laws of the island provide that there must be no discrimination between blacks and whites in hotels, cafes, and so forth, such as is practiced in America. But American industrialists have invaded Cuba and established a sort of extra-territorial government, such as is complained of in China, that makes them untouchable by Cuban law. Thus hotels, restaurants and other public places operated by Americans, freely discriminate against: Negroes, in spite of the Cuban law. And there are cases of American industrial plants where different and separate quarters are provided for dark Cubans, white Cubans, and Americans. After nightfall the dark Cubans are not permitted in the white Cubans' section, and neither dark or white Cuban is allowed in the Americans' section. The "slave" trade is practiced by the owners of the sugar plantations. The more sugar there is raised, or the more demand there is for sugar, the more labor is needed. It has been profitable for the Cuban and American planters to go outside of the island for this help. The method now current, and one which has been in practice for many years, is to send to Haiti, where the Negroes speak a sort of patois French, or to Jamaica, where they speak English, and to import an illiterate class to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations. Of course, these Negroes are not told that they are going to be made slaves or peons. They are induced to leave their homes through the use of spurious contracts, written in Spanish, the language of Cuba, which they cannot understand. When these laborers have been brought into Cuba by the boatload, they are housed in great sections which are guarded by armed men. The laborers are not permitted to leave, nor are outsiders allowed to come in. The average wage is from sixty to eighty cents a day. All supplies, food, clothing, and so forth, must be bought from a sort of company store. At the end of each season, the laborers find themselves indebted to the plantation owner, and under the necessity of staying around until next crop time. The plantation owners permit them to stay without cost because that is cheaper to them than to have to pay twenty-five dollars a head for new laborers when the season rolls around again. Thus, these men are taken from the homes in Haiti and Jamaica and tied to the land of Cuba. In the case of Jamaicans, Mr. Roller writes, there has been some slackening in the trade, due to protests from the British government, so that in late years most of the importations have been from Haiti. The influx of the Haitians and Jamaicans has increased considerably since the inception of this modern slave trade. Thus, from the total LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1929 White Woman Sues Radio Announcer For $25,000 (By: A. N. P) Chicago, Jan. 16.—A romance that blossomed a year ago in Newark, and grew in Chicago and Michigan, ended in a $25,000 law-suit here Monday when Mrs. Wilhemina Halliday, a white woman, filed suit against Jovoddah, an oriental philosopher, lecturer, and at present announcer for the Liberty Life Insurance Company's broadcasting station W. W. A. E. According to Mrs. Halliday, she was attracted to Jovoddah a year ago as he lectured over the radio in Newark. His subject was "The True Attainment of Happiness." So pleased was she with his philosophy of love and real happiness, she called to see him. It was a case of love at first sight and she came to Chicago with him when he promised to marry her. Jovoddah failed to keep his promise and further complications evolved when a child was born to the white woman, or which she says the descendant of Tibet is the father. The defendant is well known in the atrial circles, having travelled extensively with Princess Mysteria, famous mind reader and medium. Recently he has operated a roadhouse near Idlewild, Michigan, at which it is alleged the plaintiff worked. While news stories designate him as a Tibetan "the son of royal parents," there are those on the Southside who claim that he is a native of Tennessee, "the son of African parents." KLAN WILL NOT PARADE IN WASHINGTON KLAN WILL NOT PARADE IN WASHINGTON (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—According to an announcement made Wednesday by Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the hooded order will not parade or stage any demonstration whatever, during the inauguration of President-elect Hoover here March 4. number of 709 Jamaicans and 233 Haitians who arrived in Cuba in 1912, the number rose to 27,088 Jamaicans and $35,971 Haithians in 1920, i. e., an influx of 63,000 foreign Negroes into a population of less than three million. At the beginning of 1928 it seemed as if an end would be made to the slave traffic and the "Negrification" of Cuba, when the Cuban government decided to restrict the output of sugar to 4,000,000 tons per year. It was announced that from then on the importation of Negroes would be prohibited and that 17,000 imported Negroes would be sent back to their countries. But in the meantime the international conference for the restriction of sugar production failed and Cuba declared that consequently it would remove all restrictions on the sugar output, even at the risk of driving the price of sugar still further down. More sugar means cheaper sugar and cheaper sugar requires more Negro labor. And quite recently the United Fruit Company alone obtained from the Cuban government the permission to import 9,600 Negroes for work in its plantation. BRILLIANT RECEPTION; TYLER ENDORSES ... MAYOR CRYER On Saturday, January 12, in the dining room of the new Hotel Somerville, one of the most brilliant and most representative gatherings of our group which has come together in many years assembled to pay honor to the Hon.

McDonald and Dr. Virdumarus Nickolas of Milwaukee, dentists, will leave New Orleans January 21, to establish a free clinic in Cape Palmas, Liberia, under the auspices of the African Educational Association. Organization of the clinic will cost approximately ten thousand dollars about two thousand of which is expected to be raised in this city. The establishment of the clinic has been welcomed by the President and other government officials of Liberia. Joseph C. Hartzell first brought to the attention of New Orleans citizens the missionary work in Liberia. He organized a branch of the William Taylor Friends of Africa about twenty years ago in New Orleans University.

This week in New York City we were one of the speakers over the Radio which reached millions of citizens. Our subject was "The Negro Woman in Business." We tried in our humble way to stress the importance of business and to impress our hearers with the fact that our women can and are making giant strides in the business world. We have been told our message was well received and we can but judge of the veracity of the information from the fact that ever since we spoke countless invitations have come to us for our services as a speaker in all sections of New York and even other cities throughout the East. Further enlightenment to our Engle readers is the fact that on last Wednesday we addressed the Woman's Forum of New York City. It was a 11 o'clock A. M. meeting where a notable gathering was present and we feel that here we spoke as our good home folks would wish us to do and the demonstration accorded us further justifies the thought that we at least made a fairly creditable representation for California, our home. Mr. Noah D. Thompson, formerly of Los Angeles but now the business manager of the "Opportunity Magazine" of this city is just as busy and just as useful in New York as he was in Los Angeles. He is in for everything that means progress and advancement and truly contributes his share to bring worth while things to pass. Here in New York, California is brought nearer to us each day, in view of the fact that we are meeting someone from there each day. Miss Myrtle Anderson has a very nice "Girls Center" for Harlem which she operates and from all indications in making a splendid success. Mrs. Hudson of the Episcopal Church there is here with her. We met our very talented musician from Los Angeles, Mrs. Lorenza Jordan Cole on last Sunday. We predict for Mrs. Cole a great career as one of the great musician of the age. We want Eagle readers to know that in all of our trials and the vicissitudes through which we are passing that our fondest hope is of your welfare and you are ever upon our mind, and back to you we will fly to work and toil for the things which uplift and carry on. In this situation we forget not as we travel on the wonderful Los Angeles Forum and each Sunday we pause to think of their meeting hour. Also the Local Branch of the National Association we appreciate its confidence as evidenced by the re-election of its dynamic president, Dr. H. C. Hudson. Monday evening we journey again to our native home in Providence, R. I. On Tuesday we hope to finish up business matters which have detained us far beyond the time hoped for, and then our hopes are Westward to husband and friends. We depart from our sisters, brothers and kindred with a sad heart, but we approach our home with joyous acclaim to the sunshine and flowers of the greatest and most beautiful of all—our home—Los Angeles.

In this week's issue I will impart information of the "Helicopter," also, I will tell how the New York to Paris plane was built. The Helicopter is a machine built with lifting screws to lift it in the air. It does not employ any plane surfaces to counteract gravity, except those of the screws themselves. Helicopters as far as their practicability is concerned, are often placed in the same class as Ornithopters but this is hardly right. It must be admitted that for power consumption, for work done, the former is far more economical, efficient. The Helicopter also permits of much better mechanical construction. The important function of the Helicopter, when successful, will be in its ability to arise and alight vertically without any preliminary horizontal movement. A Helicopter requires no large lifting planes, consequently it is light and can be built far stronger than any other machine in use. Its stability is automatic and the danger in landing is practically removed as long as the engine keeps workig. Hitherto, Helicopters has been built and tested; neverless men have been raised from the ground by their means and there is every reason to believe that at some future time the Helicopter will be developed to such a point where it may be considered a success, but the one fact remains that if the engine should suddenly stop that the Helicopter --- If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened Advertising Section Amplex 7-Tube All Electric Trade in your old radio for $25.00 on the 7-tube, All Electric Amplex.

By: Russell H. Miles "Captain Charles Lindbergh may or may not be a "flying fool," depending upon whether you view his trans-Atlantic hop as a carefully planned flight, or a mere piece of daredeviltry, but there are no two ways about the fact that there are some flying workers at the Ryan Airlines factory at San Diego. Charley Lindbergh was not the only man in the picture to go thirty-six hours without sleep. "Paris looked a long way off to the flier until he began to talk to B. F. Mahoney, manager of the Ryan company, and saw just how the plane builders worked. The plans were drawn, the machine was built, was ready to fly in 11 minutes less than sixty days, the agreed contract time in which the monoplane was to be constructed. "About February 1st, A. G. Edwards, salesmanager for the company, received word of Lindbergh's modest demand for a plane that would cross the Atlantic. He was told that Lindbergh wanted a machine to get off the ground with 425 gal. of gasoline, cost no more than $6,000 without engine, and carry the flying postman and his ham sandwiches to Paris—all to be deliver- ```markdown ``` This beautiful Ash Tray Our Gift to You to any of the Forer Tire we will give ABSOLUTE- beautiful Ash Trays with ed. ion of a Brunswick Tire, or glass tray inside.

"The Ryan people told Lindbergh that would do the job, and on February 28, after a few days of conference, the contract was signed, and at 2:20 P. M. in San Diego, to build the N. Y. P. Don't forget fellows, Lindbergh told the engineers of the plant that afternoon: I've got to have this plane in sixty days to pay my respect France. "Charley was not joking, but he did give the impression that if he did not give the impression that if he did get the plane in sixty-one days he would not be disappointed. But to the bunch at the Ryan plant, Charley's word was law, and the Chief Engineer, Donald A. Hall, and the factory superintendent, W. H. Bolus, went to work on the job that night and for two months the factory concentrated on the manufacture of the plane. Production of other planes was not stopped, but the N. Y. P. had the right of way night and day. "In order that Charley would not break into the engineers' conference and start to draw the plans himself, Mahoney took the youthful aviator for a cruise on his yacht that first afternoon after signing the contract. But Lindbergh spent most of his time in the factory, following every detail of constructiq nwhen he was not in the drafting room studying navigation, or taking long walks along the beach, training for the thirty-six hours of sleepless grind across the Atlantic.

Really, it is a pleasure to work with such people. There are about twenty-five waiters, mostly al from Los Angeles and four maids. Grace Hubbard and Susie Taylor are the best known for their stability. They have been at the club since the doors opened. Gertrude Bradley and Ye Editor have been there since late Spring. There has been quite a few changes and lots of problems to face, but, through it all, we still wear a smile. Those due honorable mentions, also are Mr. S. Jackson, who works in the Barber Shop (his job is envied by many. The question may be answered personal), the Fritiz brothers—not Hans and Fritz—but Oliver and Howard of Santa Monica. They have been here since the opening and have won a big place among the new members of the Locker Rooms. The waiters and mails hope to have a real formal affair. Watch for the announcement. Well, everyone seems to be wearing a broad smile this week, so I guess the bonus was quite satisfactory. To the one sending the most exact answers to the following questions, a surprise will be the reward (now, don't feel hurt if your name is mentioned for it's all in fun): 1. Why does a certain waiter take coffee upstairs to the check room every day? 2. I wonder if the pretty clock alarms very loud? (For an answer ask the maid). 3. Why doesn't Jimmie work upstairs any more? 4. We wonder why a certain tall, slim fellow is wearing a black eye? 5. Will a certain night maid venture into the private kitchen looking for——(what) any more? And if not why not? 6. Why are the following names added to the real one of the some of the employees: Beef Stew, the Kid and Mrs. Bigby. 7. Who are the two smallest employers of the club? 8.

Church on Fourth and Bay Sts. and completed at Woodlawn cemetery of this city. It was a large throng of friends that paid their last tribute to Nathaniel Ruecker, Friday, January 11th. The service was held at the First A. M. E. Church, located at Nineteenth and Michigan, and officiated by Revs. Robert House and G. W. Bussy. Never in the history of this city was such honour or paid to one so young—regardless of race or creed. Nor was there ever a funeral so touching to the heart's of many—those who wore his classmates, instructors, and admirers. Another place was left vacant in the memorial seats at the Santa Monica High School, where Ruecker won his laurels is in this way that the student body honors its dead heroes. * * * Funeral services were held for Mr. Dantel Whitley, age sixty-one years from the Memorial Chapel of Todd and Leslie. Mr. Whitley was an old pioneer of this community. WHAT THE LITTLE BIRD SAYS: BIRD Some people say that mules are fools I thought this was not true By: S. K. Until I bought a mule myself And drove a mile or two. That was lazy although a daisy— His name was Slick Em Slack— He stopped that U. P. East-bound train And kicked it off the track. He worried me most all the time I almost lost my mind, I sold that mule to drive a car That I might stay in line. I drove a Hudson Super Six A Willys Overland And drove a Marmon Thirty-four Across the bar-room floor. I drove a Cadillac to the beach— And then, Oh Lord a'mercy! I started back with a Briskoe Four Oh how I had to curse her. I drove a Lexington Minute-man Six That looked so nice and swell And then I dodged it for a Ford That shook me all to H----1. I drove 'em all that run with gas Until I met a fool. I left those cars from that day on And went back to my mule. Just as we come to a close—'taint none of my business—but they tell me Arthur Burks is engaged. Wonder who can it be?

Larney Lichenstien Passes, Gans Accompanies Body East Although it was generally known that Larney Lichenstein, manager of Baby Joe Gans had been ill for some time, yet like a bolt out the blue sky came the news last night that he had died at a Hollywood Hospital. Mr. Lichenstein has been ill practically ever since he returned here from the East with Baby Joe Gans, whom he has been managing for about two years. He has been confined to his rooms at the Barbara Hotel under the care of a physician and a nurse, making a staunch battle for his life. He was 59 years of age and leaves two sisters in N. Y., but no relatives here. Bake Gans, to whom he was greatly devoted, accompanied the body to the Overholtz Undertaking Perlors, and will accompany the body to N. Y. Mr. Lichenstein was appropriately named the little Napoleon of the boxing game, and during his time has managed other colored boxers a year ago having Jake Kilrain, Batting manning and others as Gans stable mates. He also managed numerous white boxers, including Ad Wolgast after his best days, and others including Tony Caponi, Eddie Goose man and Lou Rollinger, and Jimmy Clabby. It was the height of his ambition to make Gans the world's lightweight champion and no doubt would have done so. Mr. Lichtenstein had many friends and he will be greatly missed by all both white and black, throughout the country. It has not yet been decided as to who will be the "Young Master's pitot now, but it will be greatly to his interest to align himself with some one who as co-manager with (hero-kee Tom Cox, can secure the cars of the big promoters as Lichtenstein did. Cast of "Hallelujah" In presenting the cast of Metro Mayer-Goldwyn's first All-Colored cast picture, "Halleluja," it would be good for the reader to keep in mind the fact that most of these people are strangers in our midst. They have been with us now most of four weeks; unfortunately only a few of us have had the opportunity to meet these very excellent people. It was no fault of their, we blame the studio. They should have seen to it that these people had the opportunity to meet and know and as well receive the applaudits of their own people. However, we present the cast: The leading role, originally assigned to STAR ICE CREAM CO. EXCELLENT PURE INDEPENDENT --- When your sweet tooth says ICE CREAM Let your Wisdom tooth say STAR W. B. MATTHEWS HONOR ED AT BANQUET (Continued From Page One) which only ended when she sang a Mexican Folk Song—"A Little Star" by La Forge, Mme. Talbot accompanied herself at the piano. Attorney Tyler presented many of the 112 guests, and in closing the programme, paid a high compliment to the Hon. W. B. Matthews and to his Honor, Mayor Cryer. Attorney Tyler pointed out the intense interest our group has in the City Government; called attention to our employment in the City Government; called attention to our employment in the Park Dept., in the Police and Fire Departments, and to the large number in the Engineer's Department, and to those employed in the Water Department; to the fact that we have in Los Angeles, the first prosecutor our group claims in the West, in the person of Bert McDonald, Deputy City Prosecutor. The toastmaster lauded the fine assistance rendered by Mayor Cryer in bringing the 1928 National Session of the N. A. A. C. P. to Los Angeles; urged the unstinted support of school bonds and a never ending loyalty to the mixed school system. The Toastmaster said that he was reliably informed that Mayor Cryer would be a candidate for re-election and expressed pleasure in the fact that so true and high-minded a citizen could be hoped for to continue as the head of a city government in whose pay roll we share to the tune of $2,400,000.00 per year; he urged that more of our young people take the civil service examinations; pointed out that we have three women in the Police Department, a stenographer in the Tax Office and one engineer and three accredited clerks in the Water Dept. with six more promised; that about one-half the custodians' force at the New City Hall is of our group. The Toastmaster urged a wider interest in civic affairs and lauded the consistent efforts of Mayor Cryer to hold in check our city tax rate.

Former Mayor John F. Hylan, addressing the J. C. Price Lyceum, Sunday at a mass meeting, denounced Commissioner Whalman's latest order for the wholesale arrests recently perpetrated in this city as a gusset for publicity. Mr. Hylan, introduced by Mrs. Irene Moorman Blackstone and J. Dalmus Stele as the next "Mayor of New York," said, "I accept the nomination," in all seriousness and then went on flaying the present administration. Hylan then told of the many things he had done for colored people in New York when he was Mayor. Attacking the latest move of Mayor Walker and the transit commission on the five-cent fare, Hylan told of the disposal of the bus franchises in the city. He also declared that the city officials declared he knew too much and for that reason, he was thrown out of the Mayor's office in 1925 and a man who could be handled substituted STAR Ice Cream "It's Perfect" IT'S WAITING FOR YOU!

DEATH BY: WALTER GORDON When the day is once cared upon its virtuous one a strong to pursue its last Friday afternoon at Serra Monha, and home at the heartful and civil taceless throne, his history might have been tumultuous and How many will re-read my opinion when I see even one virtue in Nath athan Ralph's prose. To me he is a martyr to the cause of righteousness - Many an individual or youth will be positively made to use the temporary nature of this life. If he was a consequence he will strike to make himself a better lifeful spiritually, so as to be pre- pared when that can be achieved. It takes very often a hard tracery like the above to install in us a soberness and deep the truthfulness, a shouting glories based on non-benefit we has largely discarded and as a fellow remarked "We see the necessity of a truth."

B. Lester Hotel Holds Jim-Crow Reception For Its Employees (Py A N P) New York, Jan 14. - For the first time in the history of the great Waldoft Astoria Hotel, color lines were drawn Thursday night at the annual reception and dance given the employees of the hotel. In the past, white and colored employees have minced in the Grand Ball Room of the hotel. But this year, the last of the existence of the famous house, segregation was evidenced. The whites had the huge ball room, while the colored were segregated in Room 120, far removed from the main events. The whites were served a regular seven-course dinner, while the colored were given only a plate of salad, ice cream and cakes. Music for the Ball Room was furnished by a large sixteen-piece band, while the colored folk had to listen to a four-piece unit. Colored waiters under a white captain served the colored guests: Many of the employees left the entertainment preferring not to stay. None of the hotel officials would assume responsibility for the "jim-crowning" of the colored help of whom there are some fifty or sixty in the kitchens and rantry of the world famous place. But the head of the entertainment was the hotel's famous chef, Oscar Tcechirky. "Paul and Silas" went to jail, likewise J. W. White and Clarence Bailey. The former were patriarchs of the days gone by. The latter are beings who circulated day by day in our very midst. There is no question about their being in jail for we visited them at the County jail at Santa Ana on last Saturday. We went out there to procure from them first handed as to "what it was all about." OIL WAS THE CAUSE A. B. Fall sold! Teapot Dome; frauds ulently the courts say, he got millions, Harry St. Claire got millions there from, E. L. Doheny likewise. Neither one has seen the jail house, yet you're young men only had three wells, all undisputed as their very own and had one under lease—They are in jail. CLASHES WITH LABOR A loose-wished upon them which had an unnished labor claim has been their unloading and the Labor Commission lone hire down upon the boys for a night now payment of said claim. The result was a prosecution under the labor act and their present commitment. It is generally thought everything will be straightened out and the boys will be absorbed of longer confinement within the next few days. We shall in a coming issue give a complete history of the activities of these men as oil promoters, including a minute description of their holdings near Huntington Beach, with illustrations. The story in detail wholly true will out-do fiction by it strange- Farrison Lodge Masons Present Retiring Master Token of Appreciation On last Thursday evening at Mason's Hull Gorlson Lodge, No. 45, F. & A.M. assembled in full force, the occasion being the presentation to the retiring Worshipful Master, Joseph B.

C. Dyer New Year's day brought on a livelier spirit and a new light broke on New Year's morn, bringing with it a new life into the hearts of the girls. In the early afternoon we took pictures of all the girls and surroundings, including our Christmas tree and candy house of which we had been patiently waiting to devour, and we ate it up with many cheers and good wishes for the one that gave it. The evening was spent with songs, music, plays and pantomimes, and at a late hour of the night all said goodbye to Christmas of 1928, and wishing a Happy 1929 to all our good friends who made this Christmas so happy and dear to us.

The Sunday School had a large attendance. At the eleven of clock service the Pastor spoke from the subject "The Cities of Refuge." In his sermon he showed the resuscitation between these six cities in ancient Israel and Jesus Christ who is the refuge of his saints. At the evening service the subject of the sermon was "The Cry of the Perishing" Both sermons were a fitting introduction to the coming revival. There were several visitors at each of the services. The large chorus that will sing each night of the revival had their final rehearsal Tuesday night. The Pastor called upon the singers to consecrate themselves for the special services they are to render during the revival. Singers from both churches make up the chorus. The meetings began Wednesday night at Grant Chapel E. 108 and Compton Avenue, Rev. Nathaniel Hawthorne Jeltz, conducting the meetings. The meetings will be held at Grant Chapel this week.

New Chelms, La., Jan. 15.—The sixth precinct patrol wagon drove merrily up to the station Tuesday and the driver was surprised to find both the patrolman and his prisoner missing. It happened this way: Edward Harris was arrested by Police Officer Cornelius Nelson on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. He was placed in the wagon. After a ride of a few blocks, Harris suddenly smashed the officer in the face, knocked him out of the wagon and then jumped out himself. Naturally, the driver up front knew nothing of it, as the patrolman was knocked unconscious and Harris was making his getaway. Nelson was captured a short time later and on arrival at the police station was charged with disturbing the peace, drunk, using obscene language, resisting arrest, assaulting an officer and attempting to escape. There was no more room on the biorter, also additional charges would have been placed against him. Announcement Dear Friends and Kind Public.

GIVE CREDIT When the proposition to honor one of the heroes of the Boulder Dam legislation in the person of the Hon. W. B. Matthews which was fostered by some leading and well-known citizens was broached, there were those who looked upon it with many misgivings and charges of political advantage were freely advanced as well as other ulterior motives. This, however, failed to dampen the ardor of the proponents of the affair and as a result there was gathered at the Hotel Somerville on last Saturday evening one of the most representative gatherings of citizens which could be possibly gotten together and a program was rendered which indeed reflected the highest possible credit upon all concerned. We need more contact of the same sort which will move all of us up a notch higher and put all in possession of more knowledge and greater inspiration for the things which are high and uplifting. Too much credit cannot be given to the persons who were responsible for this particular effort, in honoring the Hon. W. B. Matthews on last Saturday evening.

We would most respectfully call attention of our City Council and Mayor to the fact that it is wholly unnecessary to have the fire department to make the run of some 15 minutes from 5th and Towne out to McGary street and 14th, when as a matter of fact four years ago this spot was designated to put in a Engine House to be manned by the firemen of our group. We feel it is the duty of the present administration to bring this to pass. The need is imminent, we have no fire protection from this point on down to the Furlong Tract and in granting this request it will be but an act of long deferred justice. PATRON SAINT OF SPORT Benjamin Franklin, anno January 17, is the patron saintry. He is famed as a legislator and proponent of America all these endeavors, but his vows.

The evidence seems clear swimming was in a class with amateur standing is unclouded. Now that Franklin's pro generally known one may ex Swimming Clubs" take their p stores, printing establishment tific and literary societies, artions bearing the name of the Benjamin Franklin, anniversary of whose birth occurs on January 17, is the patron saint of the American printing industry. He is famed as a legislator, literary man, inventor, diplomat and proponent of American independence. He excelled in all these endeavors, but his versatility did not stop with them. This universal genius adds that of athlete to his long string of claims to fame. It is not a mere whimsy to claim Franklin as a patron saint of sport. Swimming was his favorite sport, and while history does not record that he ever swam the English channel or the Delaware river there is sufficient evidence that he was an expert. Twenty-year-old Benjamin disported in the Thames in a fashion that should have been featured in the London gazettes of his time. In his immortal "Autobiography he wrote: "I stripped and leaped into the river, and swam from near Chelsea to Blackfriars, performing on the way many feats of activity both upon and under the water that surprised and pleased those to whom they were novelties." During that same visit to England, Franklin seriously considered remaining in Europe to open a swimming school or to travel from town to town giving exhibitions and lessons. That he didn't was only because of the depreciation of the Quaker merchant Denham. The evidence seems clear enough that while Franklin's swimming was in a class with the professionals of his day his amateur standing is unclouded. Now that Franklin's prowess as a swimmer is becoming generally known one may expect soon to see "Ben Franklin Swimming Clubs" take their place beside the multitude of book stores, printing establishments, organizations of printers, scientific and literary societies, and other institutions and associations bearing the name of the illustrious colonial.

Powerful stuff—gasoline. There is a kind of gasoline intoxication that changes the entire natures of some men. Sometimes it is found that even the mild-mannered man who loves his family, is kind to animals and is courteous to everybody, can't stand gasoline at all. As soon as he gets into an automobile he isn't polite to anybody but a policeman. On foot, he says "You first," or "Pardon me, sir, may I step ahead?" or "That's all right, old man, I'm in no hurry." But seated in a vehicle propelled by gasoline, he gets a megalomaniac's view of the value of time. He may not be going anywhere in particular but he wants to get there right away. He watches for the smallest opening to jam ahead. If he is thwarted in the attempt, he glares at the fellow who gets in his way and perhaps hurls an insulting epithet. If there is an unavoidable delay for a moment, he bawls his horn, and the aggregate efforts of the entire group of gasoline-intoxicated maniacs turn bedlam loose. Filling the air with raucous mechanical lowing, yawling and screeching is an attendant symptom of gasoline madness. Dashing ahead through dense traffic and horning everybody out of the way is another. The manifestations vary with the age and temperament of the subject, but even in the mildest natures the tendency is toward crude manners, lack of all consideration and complete inhumanity.

Hunter nee Clark, stern was again placed by Taylor. Mr.ographer and typist and was commenss of the session. The 48th session of the California Legislature began its grind when the gavel of Speaker Edgar Levy, re-elected, called the assembly to business. The Governor, C. C. Young, read his message to the joint Assembly. The recently appointed Lieutenant Governor H. L. Carnahan presented him to the audience. This first part of the bifureated session will be mainly for the introduction of bills, of which, to date, there are 678. The resolution ratifying the Boulder Dam pact was put through as an emergency measure. The new Tax bill which was ratified by the voters at the last election is slated for the same consideration. The members expect to be leaving for home in two weeks from the opening and will have 30 days to study the pending legislation. Some very important legislation will come up for consideration at the second convening, Reapportionment, Harbor Control, Repeal of the "Wright Act," and many other important measures will provide plenty forensic fireworks. The San Francisco delegation will put up a strenuous battle for Municipal control of the State Harbor. The measure was passed in 1925 but vetoed by Friend Richardson, then Governor. It stands a very good show of passing the present Legislature. Just what its fate will be in the hands of Governor Young, is problematical. Former Sheriff, Thomas Finn and Alexander McCabe were up at the opening with a finger on the pulse of legislation. Forest Mitchell, secretary, Highway Commission, was seen in close confab with "the boys." Senator Frank Merriam, from "down South," was greeting with a smile and handshake. By the way! Merriam is also chairman of the State Committee (Republican) John Tavlor was up. John had a list of people he wanted to place as attaches. Not necessary to say, they landed. Mrs. Theo. Hunter nee Clark, stenographer in the 47th session was again placed by Taylor. Mrs. Hunter is an efficient stenographer and typist and was commended as such by the members of the session.

And loud complaint won of electors on the presidential bar being unknown to the voters and two is appearing under different party voters. Assemblyman Roberts has a buds but he is going about the underious thoroughness which has charisator. He has, practically, the unaquiesces and when the measure is legislative Counsel it will go before recommendation. The important connaissance Assembly Roberts by the Speaker, him a busy man through the session. Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts is in his old seat looking fit and debonair. Roberts is a great favorite in the Legislative body. His desk is the mecca for many of the solons who want to draw on the Assemblyman's store of knowledge, or be advised as to some particular measure. And Assemblyman Roberts is shaping to form a bill which would prove a boon to every voter in the State without regard to race, creed or previous condition. Legislature means to make propositions appearing on State ballot intelligible to the voters. Assemblyman Roberts would have the propositions so simplified that the voters could understand what they are voting on. To the average voter some of the proposals are as intelligible as Greek verbs to the South Sea Islander. It will be a boon to all who exercise the right of franchise should some means be found to solve the problem. When some pet scheme is to be put before the electorate it is frequently stated in terms which are so confused that it is often that the voter believes that he is casting a negative vote, but is voting to affirm. There is no doubt that for want of clarity in the presentation of facts many of the Amendments that are worthy fail to receive the support of the electorate. Take for instance the reapportionment bill and the bill to repeal the Boxing Law, measures on the recent ballot, it took careful scrutiny of those measures to determine how one's vote should be cast intelligently. And loud complaint was heard as to the designation of electors on the presidential ballots. Many of the electors being unknown to the voters and two groups of the same names appearing under different party designations confused many voters. Assemblyman Roberts has a stupendous task on his hands but he is going about the undertaking with the same judicious thoroughness which has characterized his course as a legislator. He has, practically, the unanimous support of his colleagues and when the measure is whipped into shape by the Legislative Counsel it will go before the proper committee for recommendation. The important committee assignments given Assembly Roberts by the Speaker, Hon, Edgar Levy, will make him a busy man through the session. thing thing about the vagueness of having been passed by the electors at there is no way to undo it except by reversing it at the next election. It says, what you want to do, but what to be construed with respect toational provisions, and stands the arts, it is found that it does not con the legislative censure, the Californiaistance. Bills are scrutinized and an ability, and constitutionality, is befor sponsored by Assembly, Roberts. The annoying thing about the vagueness of the amendments is, that having been passed by the electors and put into the Constitution there is no way to undo it except by repeating the process and reversing it at the next election. It seems easy to write a bill saying, what you want to do, but when enacted into law, and it has to be construed with respect to existing laws and constitutional provisions, and stands the interpretations of the courts, it is found that it does not conform to the ideas held. In the legislative censure, the California solons have a splendid assistance. Bills are scrutinized and analysed, until their merit, stability, and constitutionality, is beyond question. Another measure sponsored by Assembly Roberts is known as BY: W. J. WHEATON * * * . . . . a bill to compel school boards to give students expelled from school for any reason, a hearing. The bill would also limit the period of expulsion to two weeks. The Assemblyman says that he believes this would safeguard the student against "spite work by the school board or teacher. Already the "Land Shark" has commenced his nefarious trade by claiming to be on the inside and having option on choice plots in the reclamation area of the proposed Boulder Canyon Dam site. B. D. Smith, Federal Land Office Register, has issued warning to that effect. He has told prospective purchasers that the only official action taken by the land office has been to close to homestead entry all areas designated in the Swing-Johnson bill, most of which lie in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. Most of the frauds, says Registrar Smith, are connected with lands claimed to be within irrigation areas "likely" to be designated by the government in a development program to follow completion of the dam. We trust that any farmer of the Race contemplating a purchase in the district will make diligent inquiry before doing so. The following clipping is an editorial from one of California's leading journals (a daily). Worth, of whatever color, is bound to shed its light: "What Has Been Done By Heirs of Slaves "For outstanding achievement in painting, sculpture, literature, business and social service, twelve Negroes have received cash awards totaling $3000 from the Harmon Foundation. When it is recalled that the first of January was the sixty-fifth anniversary of the day upon which Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation became effective, the showing is rather remarkable. "One of the prize winners was singled out for his skill in having built up a $75,000,000 life insurance company, managed by and for Negroes; another for notable construction engineering, particularly for excellent work with concrete. Another prize winner has a successful novel to her credit and yet another receives tribute for poetry. Of two clergymen in the list one is 71 years old and lives in Lawrenceville, Virginia. If he was not born in slavery he well might have been. "The list of awards furnishes an interesting index to the advancement of the heirs of slaves." There is a scene in "The Show Boat" where a crowd seeks to separate; the young scion of the (white) South from his Negro companion (mulatto) claimed as his wife. When the charge of miscegenation was made, he took his knife, cut the finger of his consort, sucked the blood, then claimed that he was a Negro because of the Negro blood in his veins. One may think that absurd, but no more so than the remarks recently made in a public meeting by a woman who has no appearance whatever of being other than a descendant of Ham, aside from a saffron hue embellished with a veneer of plaster paris. The discussion reverted to color prejudice among Race people brought on by the main speaker. This matron who is noted for her narrowness of vision, said, with an air of condescension: "I am not the least bit prejudiced to color." And so the story goes on to the barber who had no "black soap," to the boot black who saw difference in the color of the dime. Thank heaven! that ilk is dying out rapidly. It's hard to educate the generation of the past, but our youth are seeing the falsity of the stand with its arrant hypocryty and basing their social standing on worth of character and brain power.

Dr. DuBois, who on the morning of December 19, delivered from manuscript, one of the best addresses given before the National Inter-Racial Conference, which met in this city December 16-19 on the Presentation of Data on Citizenship, dropped with a dull tush from the sublime to the ridiculous in his statements before local meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. In his og-nand speech he made an appeal for better and more remunerative support of the (crisis and of the advertising columns of the "official organ" of the organization. He stated that advertisers purchase space in white magadines and newspapers to make their products household words. "For instance," he says, "if you think of cleaners, you at once think of——" According to Dr. DuBoise, the Negro newspapers can serve no such purpose and are simply patronized "to keep the paper off of the advertisers." Nor was the editor of the "official cream" through with his "wisecracking." He went on to advise the people of Washington that their support of the Crisis would not be missed if it were entirely withdrawn. The audience, which was a cold and unresponsive as any Washington has ever produced, was visibly shocked by the trend of Dr. DuBols' remarks. The meeting at this point was nearly broken up by the audible dissension which his caustic and ill-advised remarks brought forth, and several people were seen to leave the room. When interviewed the next day, they said they left in protest against the "slanderous remarks against the newspaper fraternity. Dr. DuBolse in his speech last Thursday night, did not succeed in endearing himself or the Crisis Magazine either to the local crowd or to news papermen. Secretary James Weldon Johnson spoke immediately after Dr DuBois. It was plain that he was dis concerted by the bubbub created by a "Conscientious Objector" to the tone of Dr DuBois' remarks, for his speech was punctuated with several full stops. An examination of the advertising columns of several papers for the week ending December 22, 1928, shows patronage far above any such sordid status as Dr DuBois sought to picture as the truth. Taking two local papers, the "Tribune" and the "Eagle"; two New York papers the "Age" and the "Amsterdam News"; two Chicago papers, the "Defender" and the "Bee"; the "Philadelphia Tribune", the "Pittsburgh Courier" and the "Baltimore Afro-American" and there will be 6500 inches of advertising or approximately 320 columns, of which 45 columns were classified ads and 95 columns were general advertising. Miscegenation Prevalent In Wales (By: A. N. P.) New York, Jan. 16.—News dispatches from Cardiff, Wales, report that miscegenation is prevalent in Wales and to curb it the suggestion has been made that the example of certain American states, which prohibit the mixing of races be followed. Cardiff houses 3,000 Arabs, Somalis, Senegelese, Egyptians, Indians, Malays, Portuguese and Chinese, the reports says, but these are satisfied to live to themselves. The miscegenation is chiefly among American Negro sailors and white women, many of whom are from the Southern part of the Southern part of the United States. These groups mix freely in public places and intermarrying has been frequent. From such unions it is estimated that more than two hundred children have been born. FRIDAY.

Guess he's tired of leading an "animal life." (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—That section the South which changed its political color during the recent presidential election is now bidding for recognition from President-elect Herbert Hoover, for the assistance given in his election. This fact became evident Wednesday when Congressman-elect Schafer of Virginia presented the name of Bascom Slemp as a candidate for a cabinet position. It has been political gossip that Slemp was aspiring for the position of Postmaster General, with secretary of the Interior as second choice. His friends, however, must have felt that the present Postmaster General, Harry New, would be reappointed and therefore recommended that the Virginian be made Secretary of the Interior, the portfolio now bled by Roy West or Illinois. While Persident-elect Hoover made no comment, whatever, on the matter wiseacres here are of the opinion that Slemp will be one of the members of the president's cabinet, basing their belief upon the fact that Slemp was one of those invited to the Hoover headquarters for conference Thursday, and upon the fact that Slemp was directly responsible for Virginia being found in the Republican columns. In the meantime usual reports are being circulated naming this member of our group and that member for various positions, the latest prognostications being that Dr. Emmett J. Scott, will be named minister to Haiti. Dr. John R. Hawkins, register of the treasury and Attorney Robert L. Vann assistant United States Attorney General. New Yorker Edits Sorority Journal (By: A.

GIANTS HEAD WINTER LEAGUE TO DATE VOLUME 42 With only four more weeks to play, the Cleveland Giants hope to keep cinched the hold they now have on the Winter League series as "headmen." The past week-end was an impressive one as well as encouraging to the Giants, for by winning the two games out of the three played against Pirrone's All-Stars they took first place over Shell Oil. On Saturday with Glass of Memphis on the mound and Mackey catching, the Giants in spite of the sensational work of Smead Jolley, they won 13 to 6 over Koupal's pitching. Jolley a Seal's Coast Leaguer, in four times at bat made a double, single and two home runs bringing in two other runners for scores thus being responsible for 5 of the 6 runs. The next day, Sunday, January 13th, the Giants with Brewer starting and Rogan finishing they won the first game. 12 to 10. Darkness cut the second game to 5 innings but the All-Stars won at 3 to 2, with Martin Dumovich pitching against Gardner of the Giants. Next Saturday and Sunday the dangerous White Kings tangle with the Clevelanders with a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at 1:30. Attendance figures this year show a big increase over last year and those behind the league are confident that next winter the league is due for its biggest year.

GODFREY SUSPENDED BY BOXING COMMISSION Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 16.—George Godfrey's plea that he did not foul Al Walker, international in their fight here Monday night, failed to convince the members of the Boxing Commission and the "Black Hope" was suspended and fined $1,000. Walker was also suspended indefinitely. Walker won the fight in the third round when he was fouled. The members of the Boxing Commission were of the opinion that the foul was deliberate and that neither of the fighters had done their best. Godfrey declared that with Walker running away constantly it was impossible for him to do any effective fight. When the fight ended, Godfrey was leading by two rounds. A. Upper- Cuts & Blocks ---By--- HARRY LEVETTE MINNOWS are safe—I'm after the whales! I discovered this fair "City of the Angels" (also of movie stars and would-be's of real boxers and "palookas" of long bearded saints and gunmen). The "Soaring Eagle" during those three years has seen fit to retain me in its nest as one of the Eaglets appointed to sift and interpret, collect, glean and serve the news of the local and national Sports and Recreations. With varying success I have done my "bit" faithfully, carefully trying at all times to please readers and employers. During most of this time I have diligently searched for the sunny side of things, hoping that the adage is true that runs thus: "Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you." --- Tha's bunk, that saying at least with the Sports World and most of the rest of the world. You get no more credit for mincing words, hiding facts and smoothing over things for the sake of others than if you yelled the real facts from the city hall tower. So from now on out as I threatened to do, I shall slam my harpoon into whatever or whoever deserves it. This issue I am starting a thorough lashing of fight managers of colored boys who consider them as only "meal tickets." They are not interested in their race or its problems, their families or even them, so long as it means money for their greedy pockets. There are managers of colored boys here who even speak of them as *niggers*" when their backs are turned; who over-match them for money, knowing they will get licked or K. O'ed. and who commit a lot of other injustices against the boys who entrust the failure even their lives in their hands. There's a lot of things to be exposed — big things; "Minnows are safe, I'm after whales." EMANUEL AND LOUGHRAN TANGLE FEB. 5th Arrangements are going on rapidly now for the Olympic's biggest bout this year. Matchmaker Wad Wadhams of the Olympic Auditorium received a long distance telephone call from "Pop" Emanuel at Minneapolis, stating that the date of February 5th at the Olympic auditorium would be acceptable to Armand Emanuel for his 10-round bout with Tommy Loughran, the light-heavyweight champion. Loughran had previously okayed the date. EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1929 FIVE COLORED FIGHTERS ON MAIN STREET A. C. BILL, SATURDAY Colored fans who like to see their boys on the firing line against worthy battlers of other races will journey down to the Main St. A. C., Saturday night, to see some of their best fighters that Carlo Curtis has selected for his famous "House of Action." Regular fight fans are reminded of the days when Sailor Larry, Mack House, Young Ford, Baby Gans, Jack Thompson and other now famous pugilists used to box at this club and the A crowds they used to draw from the Avenue. Carlo is still trying to give the colored boys a chance and it is self-identent that he does not discriminate them by the fact that there are one or more colored boys on the card each week. All you have to do is deliver the goods regardless of your color. "When you get in my ring fight." says Carlo. Fighting under the new name his enterprising manager Wirt Ross has given him, Ernest Bendy, known as "Dynamite Jackson" is on for the battle of his life. He meets Bull Anderson, rough, tough, white protege of the famous Johnny Forbes Anderson's job for the past year has been that of knocking out all opponents in four rounds for an athletic carnival. Bendy will throw 190 pounds of muscle, speed and celeverness at his great hulk and one or the other of them is going out, "tight, like that." Bendy is about the most sensational of the five colored boys on the bill but Joe Comeaux is always a crowd pleasers and generally wins. The card follows: Eddie Gleason vs. Joe Guerrero, 135 lbs., Main Event, 6 rounds; Frank Leonard vs. Aurelio Herrera, 147 lbs. Semi-Windup, 4 rounds; Dynamite Jackson vs. Bull Anderson, 230 lbs. Special Event, 4 rounds; Johnny Baird vs. Bobby Baray, 128 lbs. 2 rounds; Young Bello vs. Tiger Elliott, 138 lbs. 4 rounds; Charley Rivers vs. Joe Comeaux, 138 lbs. 4 rounds.

George Savage, featherweight, who was halled as the "Santa Monica Wild Cat," wants a return bout with Goldie Hess, white. Savage has been making a good showing at the Ocean Park Arena lately. Most of his fights have been won by knock-outs. His defeat by Hess has had Savage sharpening his claws for a battle. The "Wild Cats" manager, Autur Pealtro believes that his boy will get the decision in a return with Hess. The local promoter Cy Saenz is giving the boys down here a square shot to prove their worth. Savage is one who is proving himself. WITH HARRY All this present furore in movie- tone land and stage-laud brings recollections to the writer of his earlier —sometimes sad—experiences as a ham actor on various and sundry stock companies: Lone Star Dramatic Co. Peerless Stock Company, Raschios Troubadours, Osborne Players, etc. Ever hear of them? Neither did Broadway. But there is a certain amount of the histrionic in all of us and we all like to dabble in it. Some of us should be more real in real life.

B. O., M. G. M., Pathe and Educational Pictures Already In Field Making Shorts The year 1920 will be one of the greatest yet for the colored screen player. Studios are busily engaged in editing and making both dramas and short subjects using exclusively colored casts. All of them will be made with Audens. The Independent Studios are quickly endeavoring to gather themselves under some common banner, so as to be assured of bigger, better and a more economical release of their pictures. Most of them will probably be released through F. B. O., the Alf Goulding Productions Co., which is at present engaged in make all-colored cast shorts, have assured themselves of a F. B. O. release. We look for a large percentage of the work to come from the Independent although we have heard it from one unauthority say that 20 per cent of the pictures made and released through the Motion Picture Producers Association, would be all-colored cast productions. We hope so. M. G. M. has secured Miller and Lyles and George Dewey Washington to complete some additional; short subjects to be released in the next 60 days. Ready for release on Feb. 2nd he has George D. Washington in three song numbers. Again on March 23rd for three additional songs.

"THE MAN WHO CAME BACK" MARVELOUS DRAMA OF LIFE WITH FIVE TENSE SCENES; A CLIMAX IN EACH One of the best plays produced here. The entire cast of the Fampus Lafayette Players, again scored heavily in their latest triumph, "The Man Who Came Back." Especially outstanding is the work of Edward Thompson who essayed the title role, and that of Miss Evelyn Preer, as "Marcelle" the heroine of the story. It is impossible for anyone, especially a man, not to from the very start catch the significance of the play and follow the lead straight through with his whole heart wrapped up in it, praying that he come through. We all, as human beings, have some faults. Many of them' carried us, so to speak, to the port of missing men. Right now we are struggling to reach that higher plane, which we rightfully believe to be the estate of true manhood. When we watched Edward Thompson in the role of 'Henry Potter,' the dissipated, wastret son of wealthy parents, who was cast out, sink to the pit of degradation, and then manfully fight his way back, with the added handicap if bringing the woman he loved (Evelyn Preer) back with him, and at last receive the blessings of his father, we heaved a real honest-to-goodness sigh of relief. We were certainly well entertained. The play also has a goodly supply of humor and romance. Malcolm Patton again displayed his bistionic ability to a good advantage as did also J. Lawrence Criner, Chas, Olden, Sidney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Cleo Desmond, Bebe Townsend and Monte Hawley. If You Fail To Read--THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE--You May Never Know It Happened PETER H.

My good friend, Lieutenant Littleton McDuff, of the Los Angeles Police Dept., a woeful addict to the prevailing styles and fashions of men's wearing apparel, creating a mild furore among Nite Club patrons, as he enters wearing, after the fashion of David Belasco, a cleric's vest. Looking quite priestly and Romish, Lounge Lizzards at the New Hotel Somerville, they lend, with their supercilious air of affected dignity and refinement, the proper tone to a fashionable hotel lobby. Gives one the feeling of being upwornish. Whatever that is, Parlors dealing in various kinds of panther sweat. Stuff the cow took when she jumped over the moon. The latest hooey goes kerfloop. Movie schools for voice test, and all that bunk, find slim pickings along the Avenue. Cigarette smokers, lining the walk in front of the Lincoln Theatre, during intermission. Quite a sprinkling of members of the fair sex too, wondering at certain young male flappers, who affect spats and dancing cleats after the fashion of vaudeville artists—and why? Observing some of our darling young ladies, who flirt outrageously with male members of the other races. And maintain such a prudish air with good boys of their own race. Where do they get that stuff? They're not fooling everyone. It won't be long before there is a showdown. Chas, Butler, Central Casting Corporations, man Friday, affecting an air of importance, while he makes his way through crowds of colored movie extras, gathered to greet him and learn the news as he partakes of his evening meal at the Entertainers; and the next day seeing him Uncle Toming to the "white folk". Oh well, that's the way it goes. We are still short of street cars. Why doesn't the L. A. Ry. give us better service and equipment on the "B" and "U" lines? Do they grade the various districts in which their cars run according to the peoples of the districts standard of living, or racial identity? Nevertheless we are kicking on the inadequate service. And will continue to do so. For a starter give us a few more 'Owl' cars. The classy Manual Arts cage team continued its winning streak by downing the Jefferson High aggregation, 35 to 21, in a tilt on the Artisan court yesterday afternoon. THE BLACK SPORT WORLD MARSHAL THE EYES OF HAMILTON ART San Bernardino has one of the best cards this week that the town has ever had lined up, in its history of box fighting. Ben Steffler the matchmaker, has Joey Valarde, the little Mex that is trying to take Baby Sal's place in the eyes of the fans, booked to take on Trip Limpoco that glove slinging Filipino that fights every second he is in the ring. This Kid Valarde is some fighter himself and can give anybody his weight a tough go of it. Joey fought Patty Colope, a country of Limpopo, two hair raising bouts at the Gate City arena, and each battle was a classic. If Sal doesn't watch his step he will find himself out in the cold with the Berdoo fans, and Valarde will step right in where he steps out. To back the attractive main event, Steffler has matched Chalky Wright and Patsy Cope. This is Chalky's first wind-up bout and he says he is going to take Colope like a hot minute, and believe me folks when Chalky says he can hang the crepe-on a man after watching him do battle, he won't disappoint you. This boy Chalky rates and it won't be long before he will be rating something besides a wind-up bout at San Berdoo. This boy Ken Wallace had better hang up the gloves, it's getting to be a habit with him to get his every week, and if he gets much more, he will be on his heels looking up at the stars and slitting down in his spare time cutting out paper dolls. Two weeks ago Sal Soria gave him the sleeping powders, in two rounds with a hefty left hook to the button. Last week Freddie Hawkins beat him to death for six cantos. How much of that can he stand week after week? WM. FOX STUDIO CLOSE-UPS Kaoul Walsh, who recently returned from New York where he spent the holiday season with his parents, is actively at work in preparation of his next Fox Films production—The Cock-Eyed World.' Tom Barry and Billy K. Wells are collaborating on the dialogue for this Fox Movietone opus, scheduled to get into production the first week in February. Fox Movietone is about to release a spectacular subject of nearly two reels titled 'Belle of Samoa.' Featured in this are Clarke and BeCullough, nationally known comedians, and Lois Moran, with a dancing chorus of sixty dusky but appealing South Sea maids. Miss Moran, who was a featured classic dancer in this country and abroad before taking up a film career, does some interesting dance numbers in this Fox Movietone, which was directed by Marcel Silver. Clark and McCullough get into rib-tickling difficulties when they inadvertently wander into the cloistered seclusion of the belle of Samoa. Helen Twelvetrees, heralded while making many successful hits on Manhattan's Broadway as the perfect ingenuue, and who was signed by Fox Films last August for both spoken and silent picture roles, has been elected one of the thirteen Wampas Baby Stars for 1929, by the film publicists of the cinema capital CHARLEY LONG FIGHTS BAKER AT PORTLAND Charley Long is to box Sergt. Sammy Baker at Portland, Oregon supposedly next week. This is the second meeting of the two middleweights. Long losing the decision but expecting to win this one. HELEN HUNT JACKSON Colored Man Injects LIBRARY Comedy Into "Trial' Anyone who happened to be in the vicinity of the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library last Tuesday would have wondered what all the excitement was. The occasion was a Doll Story Hour, to which little Shirley Ann, the library dill, invited all the Christmas dolls of the neighborhood and their mothers. There were one hundred and forty-three little girls present, with dolls of every variety and size. The children's librarian told them the story of "The Lonesomest Doll." The children all seemed to enjoy it, and the librarians certainly did. There are new books every week for the younger readers of the branch as well as for the grown-ups. Some of the recent ones are especially worthy of note. "Clearing Weather," by Cornelia Melgs, is an interesting account of the trading ventures of an American ship between New England and China, just after the Revolution. "Juniper Farm" is a story about life in France which tells of the home customs and characteristics of the French people. Carl Sandburg tells of the boyhood of Lincoln in "Abe Lincoln Grows up," a masterly account of the youth of the great emancipator which is of especial interest at this time of year, just before Lincoln's birthday. "The House on Pooh Corner" continues the whimsical adventures of Christopher Robin and his delightful animal friends. Then "Girls in Africa" is a collection of most vivid and interesting stories about life on the west coast of Africa. Then there are new picture books for the younger children and new editions of many old favorites. Recent Books At The Vernon Library ALLEN-Man-sized Meals from the Kitchenette.

"DEEP HARLEM" FAILS TO HIT (By: A. N. P.) Grim Tale of Jungleland Shows Lon Chaney at Height of Career New York, Jan. 16.—Colcident with the opening of several other new plays in this city Monday night, "Deep Harlem" opened to a small crowd at the Biltmore Theater. White critics rounday bayed the producers of the show as lacking everything a good comedy should have. There are two or three songs which will stand, one being "I Shall Love You" and the other two, "Mexican Blues" and "Deep Harlem," the latter based on a spiritual. Of the performers, Juanta Stinnette comes in for the music; praise, her work being that of a finished artist, one critic comparing her favorably with the late Florence Mills in her flute like obligatos to several numbers, says a critic on the "Evening World." LITTLE JESSIE JAMES BRINGING NEW SONGS AND DANCES NEXT WEEK! The finale, a cabaret scene from Harlem, falls dead and leaves the audience wondering what it all is about. In the words of Walter Winchell of the Evening Graphic, it the show, is slower than a "Lenox Avenue Local." Happenings in Hollyw'd You don't have to believe it, but Christmas neckties have been banned from studio sound stages. So are black-and-white checked suits. Techicians must have silence.

The two principal roles will be portrayed by Edward Thompson and Evelyn Preer. "Why Women Cheat" relates the absorbing tale of a wealthy man who is suddenly reduced to near-poverty and who is forced to accept a position collecting rents. His wife, a placerous living woman, is not willing to speak, too, of "A Woman great title, glee to see and others in Long Island who used to play a musical Paramount purchases screen rights of "A Woman Who Needed Killin": great title, great story.

This, it is pointed out, is due to the startlingly frank topics discussed in the drama. measure being woman, is a writing to make even a small sacrifice to assist her husband. During the husband's collection rounds one day, he visits a house of assignation—and is stunned to discover his wife's picture in the parlor. The events that follow make "Why Women (cheat) one of the most powerful dramas of today. Theatergoers all over Los Angeles are eagerly awaiting the presentation next Friday night of "Little Jessie James," the merry musical comedy hit which has been selected as the famous Lafayette Players' second musical treat. "Little Jessie James" will be staged following "Why Women Cheat," and inaugurates a new policy at the Lincoln whereby shows will start on Monday instead of Friday as in the past. "Little Jessie James" will run from Friday, January 25th to Sunday, February 3rd, with the new show opening on the following Monday. To assure Lincoln patrons of unexcelled entertainment, an inviting array of extra talent has been engaged for "Little Jessie James, headed by that noted song and dance team, Broomfield and Greeley, secured through the courtesy of Sebastian's Cotton Club. In addition to doing several dance specialities with her famous partner, Aurora Greeley, will play a part in the musical production. Another feature of "Little Jessie James" will be the appearance of Chick "Jellybean" Johnson, clever novelty dancer, and last but not least, you will see your old favorites, Mossy's Blues Blowers in the orchestra pit. Nor must it be forgotted that Evelyn Preer is to offer some of her sensational "Blues" songs that fairly stopped the show during "Queen High." Laura Bowman will also have an important comedy role—one that promises to afford her a chance to duplicate the triumph she scored as "Coddles" in "Queen High." Then there will be delightful song and dance numbers by Bebe Townsend, Monte Hawley, Lawrence Criner, Cleo Desmond, Sidney Kirkparrick, Charles Olden and Arthur Ray. VOLUME 42, NO. 33 Grim Tale of Jungleland Shows Lon Chaney at Height of Career "West of Zanzibar," a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, with Lon Chaney as the sinister "Dead Legs Flint" paralyzed "white voodoo" of a savage African tribe, is the attraction coming Sunday, to the Rosebud Theatre. The new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production, a grim drama of primitive emotions in a wild jungle, shows Chaney in one of the most remarkable of his roles, that of a former stage magician who, paralyzed in a fight with the man who stole his wife's love, follows his enemy into the Dark Continent, using his magic to terrorize and rule savages and to wreak a terrible revenge. The dramatic climax of the story is one of the most gripping and shocking denouements literature has ever produced, and through it all runs a delicate romance, this thread being carried by Mary Nolan, as the magician's daughter, and Warner Baxter, a renegade physician in the jungles, who finds regeneration in her love. Lionel Barrymore plays the enemy whom Chaney relentlessly pursues, and Kalla Pasha, Roscoe Ward, Jane Daly and others of note are in the supporting cast. Tod Browning, responsible for "The Unholy Three," "The Road to Mandlaay" and other outstanding Chaney bits, directed the new production. Fisk Glee Club Pleases Detroit [Ty: A. N.

PERCY BUCK ADDRESSES EXECUTIVE HEADS Guests attending the banquet composed or Executives of The Southern Pacific Railway. Friday evening at the S. P. Station were much surprised when an unannounced speaker in the person of Mr. P. D. Buck, Travelling Waiter Instructor and Supervisor of service delivered an able address. As several waiters from the ranks had been assigned by Mr. Kendall to serve these railway magnets Mr. Buck to supervise service accounted for his presence, after all the speakers had elaborated on the various things that were necessary for a successful year, the toastmaster asked if any of the waiters cared to say anything. After a few seconds of silence Mr. Buck began his speech by saying that he was an oppressed man speaking for an oppressed race, and those that are acquainted with P. D. know that he needed no manuscript to do justice to the occasion. We need more Percy Bucks who are not only equipped with the proper ammunition to shoot for these higher ups who only see us in the role of a menial. HERE AND THERE April 1st is expected to see the completion of the new $1000,000 Union Pacific Station at East Los Angeles, ground for which was broken Friday.

RED CAP'S DOINGS Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Landry, returned home after several days spent in Arizona. Walking certainly helped Mr. Landry, of course he needed the exercise. Much of his time was spent in hunting in Mexico. The Entertainment Committee for some reason is silent, Mr. V. Williams If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened is chairman of this committee, although a man of few words but for results he is in a class by himself and too much credit cannot be given him. Associated with Mr. Williams we have Mr. Glover, a tireless worker, who spends many sleepless nights forming plans of a constructive nature that will be beneficial to the organization. Mr. Howard and Mr. Yerwood are back on the job after a few days' absence.

John Jenkins, is as happy as a flock of paralized snails, sporting a muffler of rainbow colors, which he received as a Xmas gift in return for a 14th pound of chocolate drops. Jenk wanted to do better but as his horse is still chasing the other horses around the track he had to wait for his return. Steward Arrington has caused the boys to shiver, since he removed "The Halter." After several weeks of being behind the fest of the world Jess Edmonds appears on hte scene with a new front and at our next writing it will still be new, unless he chances to see all of his friends to ask them "How does she fit." Boys will be boys. Winnifred Gilbert, of Omaha, strolled along the Avenue, Tuesday trying to get a glimpse at a little sheba who punches a typewriter in an office that "Sells the Earth." More grief. Edward Perry, "The Gold Coast Shiek," is displaying a nifty cigar case, just a wee gift from Miss California. Bennie Grant, Chester Morris and Charlie Williams are singing their latest ballad "Broken Hearted and Blue" for no other reason than the juggling of Steward Thels from the 366 to the 312, at last Jess Edmonds and Rich get a break—No left turns.

Leo Snowden missed Number 12 by a link and for that particular reason Leo is doing time on the platform. A. Williams who has garned several pounds of surplus flesh since traversing the desert, says that the desert still remains warm and the snakes still bite as usual. Bill thinks that William Harris and a few of his desert lads are somewhat afraid of Doc Hall, as he seems to be as hard to face as a judge, and that his sentence could be given in broken doses. Ralph Mason is relieving Arthur Fleming on The Padre. It has been suggested to this writer that a special meeting of the male department should be arranged and let them know that the shebas want these scarecrows to spend more than a pleasant afternoon.

But in reality it was ill feeling between their managers and himself that engendered this because he used a number of other top-notch colored boxes besides Baby Joe. L. A.

A gallant effort was made to save the athlete's life by the Inhalator squad of the Santa Monica Fire Department. Ruecker was overcome by gas in his room at a Los Angeles boarding house, when he fell asleep while reading. He was found unconscious by his landlady who immediately called an ambulance. He was taken to a receiving hospital and later transferred to another city hospital. But his condition became worse and his family had him brought to Santa Monica. Dr. Leo Madson was called to save the young man's life. For ten days all the medical skill attainable battled for the young athlete's recovery, but he grew steadily weaker. Before he became unconscious it seems that he was aware of the end; he said farewell to those who held him dearest and nearest. True to his standard set on the track, he was fighting for lost ground to the very last. He passed quietly on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 8th. During his student days at the Santa Monica High School, Nathaniel Ruccer made athletic records on the cinder track, equaled by none; he was the greatest spinner ever produced in the Bay League—holding records for the 100 and 200 yard dashes. In the State meet at Modesto he was the only representative from Samohl. Prior to his death he was a Sophomore at the University of Southern California, and was expected to make a place this spring on the Trojan track team. Ruccer was also well known as an accomplished musician, and a great lover of music. 1 Baby Joe Gans the "Young Master" fought the last big classic for Tex Rickard when 15,000 fans were turned away from the Gans' Glick fight.

Grant of the Parkridge Country Club were seen among the extras at a camp meeting scene in 'Hallelu-jah' Sunday before last. More thoughtful minded onlookers wonder whether rushing to the auto agencies buying cars is the best signs of prosperity or whether those so fortunate as to draw a few fat pay checks shouldn't bank it. They may stop coming. Sunshine Samhite is doing the last half of the week at the Commodore Theatre, New York City. Buck and Bubbles, always a wow are wowing this week at the Orpheum Theatre, Winnepeg, Canada. Mark Solar's office, N. Y., is now busy casting for the new all-colored dramatic production "Black Flesh." For one time they leave Harlem out of a play, for this book is centered around the south side of Chicago.

Along Fisticuffs Row H. H. PETIT, manager of Sammy Jackson and Goldie Hess is a great booster for Goldie Hess. Start talking to him about Sammy and he will begin talking about Goldie. Goldie is a good fighter but no doubt Sammy who is still just a corner and far from being a finished product as yet is in more need of attention than his stable mate Hess. Besides this Sammy is so little known to the colored fans that if he was given a spot at the Olympic he would not draw flies much less 10 cash customers. NEAL CLISBY boxes Bob Lawson at Galveston for the third time on January 20. He boxes here on the 29th.

Here also are Neal Cisby, Willie Henry, Murphy Guidry who has made his professional start, Rib Frasier, Joe Williams and the "Boy Wonder."

If knocking an opponent down four times during the evening, while he does nothing but try to stay, never leading, but drawing from call downs from the referee, carrying the fight to him al the time and winning a mile does not look good, what does? Gans looks good though in Madison Square Garden. Lions Announce Basketball Schedule (By: A. N P.) Lincoln University, Pa., Jan. 15.
