Man Shoots Wife; Turns Gun on Self 19-YEAR OLD SON WITNESSES TRAGEDY Awakened by the roar of a gun spitting death, Clifford Allen, 19, leaped from bed in the living room in time to see his father, George Allen, kill his mother and commit suicide in their apartment at 11624's East 43rd street. The tragedy occurred at 11:00 clock yesterday morning in the kitchen of the cozy dwelling place: the smoking coffee and the half-eaten food on their plates at the little breakfast table mutely telling that Allen must have leaped from his chair as they sat together at the morning meal and began his deadly work. According to young Allen, the only eye witness, his father missed the first shot, the ball entering the kitchen window sill. As his mother started through the door into the dining room, a second and third shot crashes into her brain and she crumpled in the doorway. Quickly placing the gun behind his right ear he fired a bullet into his own head and fell just a few feet from her body. Mr. and Mrs. Allen had only been in the state five years, coming here from Waco, Texas, the native state of both. It is reported that Mr. Allen who was 42 years of age and his wife aged 35 have been having differences for some time due to his drinking and quarrelsome nature. Two weeks ago while they were living in a house of her mother's at 1140 E. 42nd street, she had left him after he had struck her in a fit of anger and jealousy. She took the boy and secured the apartment on 43rd street without him knowing her whereabouts. Discovering them by accident as both watched a fire on 43rd street he effected a reconciliation and came to live with them in the new home. Affairs did not improve between them and the climax came in the double tragedy. The son immediately rang Newton Station and officers Arthur McClannahan, J. W. Clark and J. S. Koehn rushed to the scene, where they found both parties had died instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are survived by Mrs. Allen's mother who is quite ill in Texas; the son, Clifford, who formerly was chauffeur to Dr. Eugene C. Nelson and Mr. Allen's sister, Mrs. Mabel Cline and brother, Henry Allen. Old Settler Passes Our community was made sad over the recent death of one of its pioneers in the person of Leroy Stubbs, who died the latter part of December, 1928, at the age of seventy-one (71) years. Mr. Stubbs was formerly of the Empie State of the south, Georgia, and after sojourning with his family to California, settled in Los Angeles with his wife, Phyllis Stubbs with daughter, Mrs. Lulu Beaman who survive to mourn his loss. During his acquaintance here, he was active in the affairs of the city and a former employee at the County Courthouse where he was widely known and much liked. Funeral services were held at Wesley Chapel where the many friends of the deceased and his beloved family paid silent tribute of their appreciation for his dwelling among us. CALIFORNIA EAGLE HEADING OFF A LYNCHING BEET A resolution offered by Councilman Jacobson to the effect that the City Council offer $5,000 reward for the apprehension and conviction of the Grant boy supposed to have been murdered by Northcott Mr. Jacobson has evidence in hand to the effect that the boy kidnapped and is now alive. Not only him, but the Collins boy also. This resolution no doubt will pass the Council on tomorrow morning after having been passed upon as to its legality by the City Attorney. There is a move afoot as is understood to form a party for the purpose of lynching Northcott in Riverside County. Mr. Jacobson said that such would be a shame upon the standing of California if such should take place when there is evidence that these two boys are alive. Notwithstanding the conviction of the mother of Northcott who is now doing a life term in San Quentin as an accomplice. Chas. W. Russell Heads Willis Petroleum Co. Organization The Directors of the Wilts Petroleum Company at their meeting held in this City yesterday, selected Charles W. Russell, local capitalist as its new president. Other officers are: Hugh E. Macbeth, Chairman of the Board; D. M. Bechtel, Vice President and General Manager; R. B. Scott, Second Vice-President; Robert W. Head, 3rd Vice President and James M.

The Company is in excellent shape, financially, and the Officers and Directors are looking forward to a most successful year and are expecting to have the stock on a permanent dividend paying basis during the year. DEPUTY SHERIFF POPE A HERO; AT PERIL OF LIFE Reapportionment of SAVES SELF AND FELLOW OFFICERS Seats In Congress At the right is a likeness of Deputy Sheriff Robert Pope, elevator operator at the Hall of Justice, whose duty consists of hauling prisoners and jail attendants from the ground floor to the fourteenth floor. During the eight hours in which he is employed, many prisoners pass his way—good, bad and indifferent. Mr. Pope is relieved by two other deputy sheriffs who perform a like duty the remaining sixteen hours of the twenty-four. These men are divested of any arms or other instruments for their own protection or the assisting of their fellow officers in the event of an attempt at escape. Mr. Pope is a medium sized man approximating in weight 180 pounds, unassuming, courteous, and obliging. Upon first glance one would not judge him to be a man to figure in dangerous encounters with criminals, yet he, like many of his fellow workers, has proven on more than one occasion his prowess in the discharge of his sworn duty. Less than two years ago Deputy Sheriff Pope prevented, almost single handed, the escape of two or more desperate criminals and for this act he was praised and regarded as a hero by his fellow and superior officers. In keeping with his reputation, on last Monday, January 21st, between 10 and 11 A. M., while operating his machine in the transfer of Jack Hawkins and Robert (Zeke) Hays, convicts from Folsom, who were here up on court order to testify with regards to certain roberies, his intuitive and tained mind caused him to glance around just in time to see Hawkins draw from the clothing a loaded revolver. Like a flash Pope brought his car to a stop at which moment Hawkins pointed the gun at his accompanying officers, Deputies A. R. Jones and Tom Higgins, with a demands: "Loose Me." Thrown off their guard at the affrontery, they were nonplussed. Deputy Sheriff Pope, retaining his presence of mind, grappled with the hand containing the gun wherein it was discharged more than five times. Two of the bullets entering the abdomen and neck of Deputy Jones. The fifth penetrated the clothing of Pope at the left shoulder just below the collar bone. At this time, Pope held a vice-like grip on the assailant's wrist whose arm was elevated just above Pope's head. It was while in this position that Jones managed to pull his gun and fire five bullets into the prisoner who immediately sank to the floor without a word and died beside the wounded officer. Whereupon Pope proceeded to the tenth floor with his car, while Deputy Higgins covered Hayes, the other prisoner with his gun. Here they were reinforced with help by chief jailer, Frank DeWar, Deputy Sheriff J. B. Loving, Inspector of Jail, and others. A reporter from the California Eagle was ushered on the scene and among many questions plied respecting the affair was: "Would the heroic deed on the part of Mr. Pope be rewarded by promotion?" The answer given by the chief jail- DEPUTY SHERIFF ROBERT POPE er, Mr. Frank DeWar was, "No!" "Weil," the reporter querted, "Why not?" "Under the circumstances, the elevator men's duties are defined and prescribed in the civil service examination, to elevator operating without the possibility of promotion for meritorious service or heroic deeds." We wonder if a suggestion from the Sheriff to the County Civil Service Commission suspending these rules would not be acceptable, thereby make it possible for Mr. Pope to be promoted or receive some just reward? Mr. Pope has successfully passed the Civil Service Examination for Criminal Deputy Sheriff, Los Angeles County, on May 1st, 1926. NEGRO INSTITUTIONS SHARE IN DUKE BENEVOLENCES (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City., Jan. 23.—That Negro institutions of North Carolina, shared in the benevolences of the will of the late Benjamin N. Duke, was made public here Monday when the will of the retired Philanthropist was filed for probate. The Philanthropic bequests include: $50,000 to the North Carolina College for Negroes,^a at Durham, N. C. for its endorsement fund, $25,000 to the North Carolina Orthopedic Hospital, at Gastonia, N.

Hawkins, Director of the Colored Voters Division, Mr. George is a young man of promise who hopes to build a career in the Diplomatic Service o the United States. Mr. George will receive a salary of $2,000 per annu mand transportation to and from Liberia. Prejudice Handicaps Negroes in Washington (By: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Jan. 23.—Opportunities to work are given thirty-five white men to one opportunity given a colored man, by the local government, according to a statement issued here by the Civic Center Affiliated Associations, with headquarters at 1813 Thirteenth Street, N. W. The statement pointed out that race prejudice and discrimination constituted the reason why Negroes in Washington were found employed only in the police department and fire department. In other departments according to charts made by the association, the personnel is from 98 to one hundred per cent white. "In spite of this discrimination," the statement continues, "we are expected as citizens and taxpayers to earn a lawful living. The vagrancy law demands that we work. The unwritten law of race prejudice seems to decree that we shall not be given an opportunity to work. Our group is willing and anxious to work, if given the chance." MRS. ERMA BAILEY HAS BIRTH DAY PARTY With music, games and other diversions, as well as tasty refreshments, Mrs. Erina Bailey entertained a number of friends at her residence 1447 E. 23rd St., Thursday night, Jan 10. The occasion was her birthday and a jolly evening was spent by all. The House of Representatives has just passed a bill to reapportion seats in Congress on the basis of the Census to be taken in 1930. They did not reapportion seats after census of 1920. They disobeyed the Constitution, because some states who figured that they would lose one or more representative, were opposed. Still some will lose and are opposed, but the bill is now passed. And for fear that it may not be enforced after 1930, the bill provides for its own automatic enforcement under that Department of Commerce. In other words, after the census is next taken, Congress will not have to do any more voting in order to bring about the reapportionment of its seats from each state; the Commerce Department is already empowered and directed by the bill to make the figures and determine the number of representatives to be allotted to each state on the basis of its population figure. As the matter stands now, the southern states are expected to lose 8 and gain 5—a net loss of 3. The northern and western states will lose 11 and gain 19—a net gain of 7. Then there is Missouri, a state which is neither leaning; it will lose 3. When Missouri is "southern" that will subtract three more from the "south," making their net loss 6. And when Missouri would go "northern," it would subtract three from the north, reducing their net gain to 4 instead of 7. However, Missouri may lean, the north will have a net gain, and the south a net loss in the new apportionment. This is largely due to the relatively decreased population of the south, because of foreign immigration to the north and Negro migration from the south. The southern states that will gain are: Florida 1; North Carolina 1; Oklahoma 1; Texas 2; Total increase 5. The southern states that will lose are: Alabama 1; Kentucky 2; Louisiana 1; Mississippi 2; Tennessee 1; Virginia 1; Total decreases 8. Net loss 3 not counting Missouri. The northern states that will gain are: Arizona 1; California 6; Connecticut 1; Michigan 4; New Jersey 2; Ohio 3; Washington 1; Total increases 18. The northern losses: Indiana 2; Iowa 2; Kansas 1; Massachusetts 1; Nebraska 1; New York 1; North Dakota 1; Pennsylvania 1; Vermont 1. Total decreases 11. Net gain 7, not counting the three lost in the uncertain Missouri. This is based on the assumption that the present membership of Congress would be maintained as 435 members in all. If the membership were increased, say to 500, then some of those which will lose now, would not lose, or would lose less,—but some of those who gain would have to gain more. In any case, the new balance will be against the south. If a new apportionment should be made based on suffrage or even registration, instead of on population, then the south would lose about one-third (Continued on page 3) On The Sidewalk By: C.A. B. That women are resourceful and are rapidly taking their place in the business field is very aptly illustrated by Mrs. L. Williams who conducts a gas filling station at 39th and Central Ave. In the first place the station is manned by women who are alert and make it their special business to render efficient service and extend courtesy to the patrons. Such things as a soiled windshield and dusty fenders are quickly remedied as they go about their mission of rendering service. No worry comes to owners about procuring license plates for they will procure them for all customers absolutely free of charge; all the customer has to do is to state their wish and furnish the regular license fee. Mrs. Williams and her assistants will do he rest. Then again Mrs. Williams with her Super Service goes further. She has established a service bureau for her customers, whereby she will pay their telephone, light, gas and other monthly bills, thereby saving them a trip to town with the consequent loss of several hours perhaps from their work. We must all take off our hats to Mrs. Williams as a promoter of real service in business. Passing along the Sidewalk at 9th and Central Ave., there we find one of our traffic officers, W. C. Coleman who is a credit to his division. Alert and courteous, but firm in his mission of performance of duty. All violators of the traffic laws look alike to officer Coleman and as a result this busy corner and its constant stream of traffic is well cared for. When a ticket is necessary never worry, for this officer will take cae of the situation. He has no friends or foes in this situation, all are treated alike and no one can or should hate him for that. ... ... ... The "White Way Cleaners," wholesale dry cleaning establishment, 1550 E. Adams St., is a high credit to our group. It is conducted on a high plane and is one of the city's sound business institutions. See to it that your cleaner is a patron of this establishment and you will be doing the things which will build up to greater heights business enterprises among the group. Yes, we are advancing. This saying is patent, but assuring as well. Truth we have some of our group who are doing business and breaking even or better; but there is room for vast improvement especially so is this noticeable when they are asleep as to the value of advertising. We have highly creditable businesses which fail to announce the fact that they are existing. Seventy-five per cent of our populace do not know they exist. This specie may think they are all wise but the rules of modern business unfold the fact that they will never reach anything like their fulness until they wake up and present their wares in some manner that all the people will know they are on earth. Successful banks advertise, likewise insurance companies, automobile dealers, etc. We have a hunch that in no far distant date our group will catch the spirit of the occasion and line up for the real and progressive things which will give to them all the emmoluments which go with a real and successful business. Mr. and Mrs. Funchess, well and favorably known in the business world have demonstrated how to keep pace with progress. Starting some years ago to conduct a Beauty Parlor at their residence, they have slowly but surely branched out and have now opened a dual business at 1452 $ and 1454 Central Ave. At the former place Mr. Funchess conducts a high-class cafe and at the adjoining place Mrs. Funchess conducts a Modern Beauty Parlor. Both of these establishments reflect high credit upon these very energetic and progressive citizens. Neatness and service immaculate is the (Continued on page 3) HISTORY OF THE AIRPLANE (Continued from last Issue) "When the plane was finally finished, Lindbergh was the first to try it out. In fact, he is the only one that has ever held the stick of the first plane to span the 3,600 miles between New York and Paris. Charley quietly stepped into the plane, flew over the field and down again and remarked: 'It's a good ship.' From the lionic Lindbergh, it was eloquent. "In commenting on Lindbergh the day he left San Diego for St. Louis, Mahoey remarked: 'That boy combines the finest and most essential qualities of a model aviator. He is a good navigator, and has studied weather conditions until he is a great meteorologist. He knows what he can do in a plane and does it perfectly. He is not reckless, not a 'flying fool,' but rather a sure-fire pilot. If anyone can make the hop to Paris, Lindbergh can.' OWN WEIGHT "The Spirit of St. Louis at the take-off of the Trans-Atlantic hilt lifted over three times its own weight or 3.13 times its empty weight to be exact. The empty weight of the plane without special equipment was 1695 lbs.; and gross weight 5,300 lbs. Empty but complete with instruments and special tanks, the plane weighed 2,150 lbs., its useful load with 450 gals. of gasoline, pilot, etc., was 3,605 lbs., or 2.12 times net, empty weight. "A total of 3,000 man hours were put in on the construction of the plane, 850 of which were devoted by the engineer and 775 or an average of 13 hours a day by Dan Hall himself as designer. "It was a good pilot, a clever navigator, a reliable plane that conquered the Atlantic for America." Pleasant Memories Of Mr. Alexander's Surprise Dinner Frequent enquiries at the office by interested friends not fortunate enough to be able to attend, as to the details of a delightful surprise dinner tendered M. Moses Alexander prompts the gathering and publication of the pleasant affair even though belated. It was given in his honor by Miss Bertha Henderson, 1115 East 23rd Street, on Monday afternoon, January 7th. A luscious four course turkey dinner followed by music and whist was the program of the afternoon's enjoyment and a wonderful time was spent by all.

Gives Banquet One of the outstanding events of the season was the banquet given by the Joy Seekers Club of South Los Angeles (Watts) on last Friday evening at the K. P. Hall located on Main Street in the heart of the business district of that section of our great city. The Joy Seekers Club is an organization of entirely young people, all of whom are among the leading families of the city. The occasion was a banquet served in honor of the parents of the membership. Covers were laid for about 100 persons. The tables were beautifully decorated with the colors of the club and likewise was the hall. Aside from the parents on this occasion the editor of this publication and its Sports writer, Mr. Harry Levette were guests of honor. A very splendid and inspiring program was rendered by the various members thereof. The first number was the roll call of the club, when each member arose and gave a quotation from some great author; this function was conducted by the Secretary, Miss L. McDowell. The financial report was given by Mr. Jessie Robinson the business manager of the club. His report showed the club to be on a sound financial basis which would do credit to like organizations conducted by their seniors. The Vice-President, Mr. Wm. Royal was designated for remarks, which unfolded the objects of the organization, which were to the effect that the purposes of the club are to uplift and co-ordinate to the end that the young folk would aspire to the higher and nobler things of life. That they would seek out ways and means for service to the community, thereby bringing joy to all concerned. Miss L. Sims favored with a solo which was well received. Mrs. Westerfield then made a fit remarks. Miss T. Duckett then rendered an ing response to the Vice-President's instrumental solo, which was a high standard and received great applause. Mr. Harry Levette was introduced at this juncture and felicitated the young people upon their mission for joy. He concluded with the recitation of an original poem and received thunderous applause. Mr. John Hale favored with a cornet solo and was compelled to respond to an encore. At this juncture J. B. Bass, editor of the California Eagle was presented and his address was received with the greatest enthusiasm as evidenced by the prolonged applause. Mr. H. A. Glover, as Master of Ceremonies filled his position with high credit. Mr. H. Swanson and Mrs. Woods sponsored the musical entertainment. The menu was all that could be desired to the minutest detail.

CHILD FREED FROM TERRIBLE PEONAGE (By: A. N. P.) Patterson, N. J., Jan. 22.—After some fourteen years of a life of virtual peonage in the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Allen, a white family living seven miles from here, Alsie Martin, was rescued through the efforts of the Federation of Colored Organizations of New Jersey and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Her plight was revealed by an article which appeared in the New York World and immediately an investigation was made. The committee which visited the Allens found that Alsie had been given to the Allens by her mother, when she was two years old, and that she had been brought here from Lowdenville, S. C. Since that time she had been in the employ of the white family and at the time the investigation was made, was serving as a cook, maid and nurse. She had never been to school and had developed a dislike toward the idea of schools; this however, was erased after a short talk with members of the committee and Monday morning she was enrolled at the Public school, Number 13, of the local schools system. The committee which investigated the case and rescued her was composed of John A. Hughes, president of the Federation, W. T. Andrews of the N. A. A. C. P., Mrs. Annie L. Handolph and Mrs. Violet Andrew Adams, St. Louis Hospital Issue in Mayoralty Election (By: A. N. P.) St Louis, Mo., Jan. 22.—After more than three years of delay in beginning the erection of the proposed $1,200,000 hospital for our people here, department heads of Mayor Victor Miller's administration announced last Saturday that they would withdraw their opposition to the construction of the building on a site at Cottage avenue and Whittier street, in the vicinity of Poro College. THE MOVE IS DECEPTIVE Meanwhille, however, Homer G. Phillips, attorney, representing the colored citizens hospital committee, declared that this attempt of the city officials is simply a political jesture to deceive the colored voters, coming sixty days before the primary election. He announced that Mandamus proceedings will be filed this week against Mayor Miller, City Counsellor Muench, Director of Public Welfare Salisbury and Comptroller Nilte compelling them to complete condemnation proceedings and begin construction of City Hospital, No. 2 for our people on a site at Cottage avenue and Whittier street. I have no confidence in the sincerely of the promise made by Mayor Miller's administration. They are using the serious matter of erecting the hospital for a political football he said. "Not withstanding that promise, however, I want to get a court order on my record, so that we shall be sure that the promise is carried out. Personally, I have little faith in death-bed repentance." The political significance of the administration's stand had become defined sharply since former Mayor Henry Kiel had announced himself as an opponent to Mayor Miller for mayoralty nomination. The ordinance for construction of the institution on the Cottage-Whittier site had been passed under Kiel and persistent efforts have been made by the Miller administration to have it set aside. MILLER THE OBSTACLE A site for the proposed institution has for more than three years been a subject of controversy. The Miller administration had contended the hospital for our people should be built adjoining the City Hospital for white patients. In defense of the plan it was urged that it would work for economy and greater institutional efficiency. However, leaders among us here, with apparent unanimity had contended the hospital should be built on the site originally selected, in the center of our large Negro district. It was argued that the institution should be as near the bulk of our people as possible, and that it should function as a unit under the supervision of a superintendent, nurses and internes of our group. A new hospital for our folk is one of the items of the $87,000,000 Bond Issue for which members of the Race heartily approved with their votes at a city election several years ago. It was thoroughly understood that if they voted for the Bond Issue they would get a million dollar hospital to be erected in the west-end section. Since approving the bond issue movement nothing has been done toward the erection of the new hospital. Instead, the present mayor, declared that he would not sign any appropriation for a hospital, unless the institution would be adjacent to Hospital No. 1 for whites. Mayor Miller now says: "I have nothing to do with the location of the hospital. The Board of Alderman does that, but in this case they wouldn't do anything. Salisbury is handling the matter now, arryhow." Salisbury, who is Director of Public Welfare, has large patronage to distribute in the park, and hospital divisions and is Mayor Miller's political adviser. ALDERMAN PASSED BUCK Fourteen of the 28 Alderman, all Republicans, will seek renomination in the March primary election. None of them wants to antagonize the large Negro vote. At a recent session of the Board of Alderman it was unanimously adopted by the members through some sort of a technicality to refer the bill of the hospital site back to the Public Welfare Committee. Director Salisbury was in an anteroom to see how the Alderman voted on the bill. Attorney Phillips was authorized to file the suit by the organization he represents at a meeting last Tuesday at the Pine street Y. M. C. A. The committee also made provision for funds to carry on the mandamus suit. Several weeks ago an organization composed of more than 10,000 communicants, announced its unanimous indorsement of the former Kiel. There are more than 35,000 Negroes registered as voters in St. Louis and politicans had predicted they would throw the weight of their support to Kiel in the primary because of the passage of the ordinance in his administration for the hospital, as well as for the opposition of the Miller administration to carrying out its provisions PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION NOW! The Soaring Eagle is at this moment engaged in a very unique campaign which is to make its subscription list 100 per cent pure. This campaign has been in progress since January 1st. The campaign is under the personal direction of Director General J. W. Edwards. He has a huge task before him to contact thousands of delinquent subscribers. The contest does not affect subscribers who are paid up, we have thousands who will not suffer themselves to become delinquent. Others become delinquent unintentionally, and other local subscribers always wait the coming of our collectors. There are others who would accept the paper if they can get it for nothing and evade the payment therefor as long as it is possible to do so. These are classed as near dead beats. There is still another class who are real dead beats and will get on the mailing list with no intention to pay. Subscriptions are payable in advance. We instruct our collectors to charge us up with any person who is in straightened circumstances and who has no means of paying. Especially so, if they are old and desire the paper. Therefore we are requesting as a special favor that our readers will cooperate with us in this campaign, which means a 100 per cent clientele. Be one of that great number which stands for progress, honor and all that goes with it. The campaign is on. It will take time quite six months to complete the job, but when it has been finished we feel that it will have been well worth while by all concerned.

This transformation, came about when Charlie, not only saved the life of the sheriff but also prevented three white prisoners from escaping. The three white men attacked the sheriff as he carried them their dinner. They felled him and were just about to complete the job when Charlie appeared on the scene armed with the sheriff's shotgun. He ordered the whites back into their cell and kept them covered until the jailer arrived. For his heroism he was given his freedom a few hours later. This is the second time, during his sentence that he has prevented a jail break. Last week he informed the sheriff that several whites were planning to escape and thus thwarted their efforts.

Zion Church On Sunday Eve., Jan. 27, at 7:30 P. M. Prof. Wm. T. Wilkins and his artist pupils will present a brilliant musical program. As a special favor Prof. Wilkins will play one of his original compositions. The composition that he has consented to render has never before been played for the public. The small group of critics who were privileged to hear the creation have welcomed it as a real work of art. Lucille Banton Blayechettal, organist; Prof. W. V. Howard, Basso; Gladys Wilkins, Soprano; Wilber A. Dyson, flutist; a group of piano pupils including Gilbert Allen, T. Eugene Estes, Sydnetta Dones, and others will appear on the program. Professor is putting forth every effort to make this affair the outstanding musical event of the season. The writer feels that the painstaking preparation of the master combined with the talent and skill of the artists who are to appear on the program assure one not only of a very delightful evening, but also of the achievement of Professor Wilkins' proper and laudable desire. H. T. G. H. T. C. WILKINS' NIGHT WE COVER CALIFORNIA LIKE THE OCEAN BREEZE Page----Two Pasadena News BY: ETHELWYN HUNTER LEADER WANTED! [NOTE: Mr. Alex Thompson, one of Pasadena's young college men, who is very much interested in publicity work is giving us an editorial on "Leaders." Mr. Thompson will from time to time have several articles in our section.] Our fathers are doing much in carrying on the Negro business of the country, but as the days, months, and years are passing on, these men are growing older and weaker. They are failing to stand up under the strain; therefore they are depending upon the young men of today to step in and take their places. Fellows! If this dependence is weared in us, the question is this: Can we as young men and women of high school and college be depended upon? The answer should be YES, because of this fact—If our parents work and sacrifice to send us through school, in order that we might get a strong foundation on which to build our house of success, surely we can take advantage of the opportunity and prepare for whatever comes before us. We cannot accomplish anything towards our task by merely talking, for "Talk is Cheap."—Work, and work hard, for hard work is the surest way of reaching any set goal. Our blunder can be that of resting on our father's laureals. Their greatness is not that they are finishing their jobs, but that they started it, and this alone is the major factor in problems that we undertake. Now fellows, consider the situation seriously, and while thinking, work hard toward a certain goal, so when there is an opening left by our fathers we can step in and take up their job; add to their many accomplishments. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Moore, of San Francisco, California, has just accepted the pastorship of this church and will arrive in a few days. Pasadena wishes to welcome Rev Moore, to Quiet city, as we feel that he is able to do great things for us in Pasadena. --- The Golden State Insurance Company, under the superintendent hentship of Mr. Payne Middleton, with a splendid group of agents, are doing very commendable work in our city. The agents are as follows: Mr. Leslie Banks, Mr. Cliff on Prince, Mr. Elmer Lano, Mr. James McGregor. We hope that the Insadena people will give them plenty of new business for the year of 1929. The Madam Walker's Beauty Salon, under the management of Miss Gertrude Cravens on West Dayton street was visited by the Inspector of the State Board of Cosmetology. They announced her shop as being 100% perfect in everything. Let us congratulate Miss Craven for her well equipped Beauty Salon. OBITUARY The rites of Mrs E. Overr, were held at the Friendship Baptist Church on January the 19th. She leaves to mourn three sons and two daughters, all of whom are residents of the city except one son, who is a minister in the East. She also leaves several relatives and a host of friends. N. A. A. C. P. The Junior Division Council of the N. A. A. C. P. met at the home of Mr. Norman Duncan on 910 Cypress Ave. January the fourteenth. They planned many interesting programs for the future. The regular general meeting will be held every second and fourth Sundays at the different members home and will be entertained each time by three members of the Division. They are also planning many ways by which they can send a delegate to the national convention this summer. The Junior Division seems to be quite active and they are giving the Senior Division many problems of discrimination which they hope the Seniors will be able to solve quickly and for our own betterment. It appears that the Juniors are giving the Senior a pathway, so they can do more work. Junior Division of the N. A. A. A. C. P. will meet on the fourth Sunday afternoon of January from three to five P. M. at the home of Mrs. J. W. Wright on Fiske avenue. There will be a short business meeting, and a program. Refreshments will be served by Council. The Juniors are planning wonderful programs for the future, as they expect to send a delegate East to the National Convention.

PASADENA YOUTH PRESIDENT OF SPHINX Mr. Alex Thompson, Jr., a well-known Junior College Student, of Pasadena, has just been elected as President of the Sphinx Club, pledge to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Mr. Thompson, or better known as "Alex," is studying to be an Electrical Engineer and he has shown great ability along this line. The Pasadena Junior College students are very proud of him. We notice that the Sphinx has chosen an excellent group of officers to work with, they are: "Alex", president; Paul Ellsworth, vice-pres.; Harry Johnson, Secretary; H. Smith, Pub. Mgr. So we are all expecting exciting things from these young college men. The club has chosen high ideals and they are striving as young men, to do their part in helping others gain for themselves a successful career, and to maintain the higher standards of life. COLLEGE YOUTH SUCCESSFUL The Pasadena Junior College is to erect an observatory in the near future. And the building is to be designed by the students of architecture. The main features of the building are to be designed by one boy, and we are very glad to say that this boy is a Negro, Mr. Norman Duncan, of 910 Cypress Ave. This appointment goes to show that when it comes to selecting the best, if Negroes can compete with the best that color makes no difference. We are glad that one of our youth has shown excellent work in the past, in order to even be considered as ranking with the best. In this case Duncan is the best, and he is being recognized as the best. Let us all congratulate him. The boys will work with Mr. Peace of the Mt. Wilson Observatory (a world renown man), the building will cost $7,900. . . . SICK Mr. Franklin Brown, is just recovering from a sick spell. Mr. Dewey Knight is now a patient at the Dunbar Hospital, we hope he will recover soon. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hunter, former residents of Pasadena, who are now living in Berkeley, California, are both very seriously ill. Mr. Hunter's illness is probably due to old age as he is approaching his hundredth birthday. Miss Redman is just recovering from her automobile accident on Christmas Eve. Miss Brewer is very ill in the Pasadena Hospital, Mr. Pete Simpson has just undergone a serious operation at the Dunbar Hospital.

We are wishing Mr. Banks a successful career and we congratulate him on his accomplishments. Mrs. Ham of Palmetto Drive gave a enjoyable dinner on last Thursday evening. Miss Josephine McDonald has been appointed Third Vice-President, of the Alumni of Los Angeles County. We are very glad that Pasadena has a representative in the Association. Mrs. Sherwood Eddy, a white "Y. W. C. A." Worker of the Orient spoke to the young women of the Pasadena Junior College on last Monday morning. The subject being, "The work of the Y. W. C. A. in the Orient. Manx of the Negro women students of the college were inspired by the address to further their training in the Association work. Mrs. Eddy told of how the Orientals appreciated the American Christian Home and how they were looking to America for their Mrs. Eddy also spoke of how the Christian America was falling below her standard, by being narrow-minded, selfish and prejudiced toward people of other races. And if the American people were placed in the same situation as the Orientals and Negroes have been thrown into and they would have a chance to feel the same oppression, and discrimination as the lesser fortunate people have felt that America would soon abolish all discrimination, and treat all the people of the world alike. The Negro students all agreed that Mrs. Eddy pleaded their problem for them. And all that was necessary for them to do was to do unto others as they wished to be done by. Miss Ethelwyn Hunter and sister-in-law, Mrs. Ellwood Hunter gave a wonderful surprise birthday party for their mother, Mrs. Florence Hunter on last Friday evening.

Brunson Upon an open and troubled sea A tall and beautiful galeon sailed— A symbol of man's desire to see And conquer where others before had failed. On and on she plunged and dipped Her sails tinkled by the setting sun— On and on into the great unknown she slipped. Till she and sky became as one. The centuries breathed their winds Upon the sea— Ships past to and fro In stately majesty— Each different as the ages go. Above the open and troubled sea Swiftly speeds a white winged craft, Its throbbing sounding noisily— Mocking space and time with a hal- low laugh. On and on she goes toward a dis- tant goal. A galloon of a latter day — Brave hearts guide her as of old. Daring the dangers of the un- known way.

As you drove up to the hall, there was a footman to open your car, door, and you walked to the entrance under a canopy which stretched from the sidewalk to the stairway, and as you entered the door the members were there to greet you, and at the left side was a life-size lion which was in a jungle setting with a forest scene, and as you mounted the stairs more members would greet you, until you were at the head of the stairs and then you were greeted by a roaring lion. The hall was done up in a forest scene with Lions peeping at you from a jungle bush. In the center of the hall was the big Monarch—Lion—the king of all beasts in his native haunts, trees, bushes and grass. The stage was a jungle scene with a lion. The walls were beautifully done; in fact, the decorations carried out the scheme of the African Velda itself, with two natives standing with long spears, and the music, Oh boy! The music by Mosby's Blues Blowers, the hottest on the coast, and boy, can they play? I say they can and you just wait a minute you saint heard nothing yet. After the dance everybody was invited by the club to the Apex Night Club, which was open only for the club members and their guests, where they had refreshments and a nice repast.

Because of their indifference, it was necessary and imperative that these three men be dropped from the list of possibilities. The fraternity sympathizes with these three men and gives them its best wishes. Respectfully, ALPHA DELTA, Alpha Phi Alpha. Mrs. Zella M. Taylor, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

REAPPORTIONMENT OF SEATS IN CONGRESS (Continued from page 1) of its entire vote in Congress, and con sequently one-third of its entire vote in the "electoral college" in pressi dential election years. As it is now, the disfranchised Negro helps to put white members into Congress from southern states and adds votes for Democratic candidates in the electoral college. It is an immoral and unconstitutional procedure in which the Negro's numerical power is used to elect officers, to whose election the Negro may be opposed, sometimes even in behalf of brazen and boasting enemies of the Negro race. At such times it would be better for the Negro if his numbers were not counted at all and the south's representation were reduced accordingly. It would certainly not disfranchise the Negro more disastrously than he is at present disfranchised. THE DUNBAR APARTMENTS It strikes me that the salaries paid to Mr. Bruce and other employees even though some of the others be members of his family, carry no basis for complaint on the part of the tenants at the Dunbar Apartments. Nobody there is being paid too much for the management or service of a four million dollar project. I do not know what the salaries are, but assuming that they are what others "guess" them to be, they ought to be raised in some of the cases, at least. was a tenant owner at the Apartments and I moved out, not because of any complaint against the management or any disagreement with the methods of the Company up to the time of moving. But after I moved, I found that the "settlement" and refund to me were not satisfactory. I found that my monthly credit of "stock" was not worth the ink that was used on the paper to write it down. That was astonishing, and shocking,--but the excuse was that I had not stayed the three years or first contract period, although nothing is said of staying three years, in the contract, in order to get credit for stock bought and paid for But the Bruce family and other employees are not to be blamed for this. The Company, the owners and directors, are responsible. Of course, Mr. Rockefellow doubtless has nothing morge to do with the thing except to get his money back, with five and one-half per cent. Each tenant has agreed to pay so much toward "Expenses" for three years, unless he moves and sells to others who in turn will take up such payments. Out of what the company collects for expenses, the salaries of all employees and all other charges against the property are paid by the Company, except the refund to Mr. Rockefellow and his 5½%. Each tenant pays a separate stated sum per month to Mr. Rockefellow, which takes care of the sum due Rockefellow. Therefore, for three years at least, it makes no difference if an employee were paid a thousand dollars a day it would cost the tenant-owners no more for the Company must meet such expenses out of what the tenant-owner has contracted to pay for three years. At the end of three years, of course, if the tenants think the request justified, they can say: Reduce salaries and expenses and reduce our monthly payments for the next contract term. For the present, therefore, even ten and can be glad to see the Bruces and others get paid as handsomely as possible.

To all observers, they have seemed to earn whatever they have gotten. There were no sine- cures. They were all hard and faith- ful workers. I have never seen more commendable team work from a family of five. But the Company (the Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments, Inc.) will need to change its practices,—especially its practices in "Settling" with tenants who choose to move and who pay all charges as per contract. It seems that such tenants have no rights which the Company is bound to respect. Of course, one could sue,—but who wants to start suit against a millionaire for fifty dollars,—or for a few hundred? The contract is absolutely one-sided, but was accepted by the tenants because of faith in the great name of ROCKEFELLER.

N. P) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 16.—In a sermon delivered before a capacity audience at the Salem Baptist Church Sunday evening, the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, world-wide evangelist, who is conducting a revival here, urged every member in his congregation to petition President Coolidge praying that instructions be given to Secretary Melton to lend to the Mississippi State Government sufficient funds to defray the expenses necessary for an investigation into the recent lynching of the young Negro, Charley Sheppard. In addition to this, Rev. Drew expressed the opinion that impeachment proceedings should at once be instituted against Governor Theodore G. Bilbo, who, said the evangelist, "has violated every principle of his office." He considered it an insult, he said, not only to the Negroes of Mississippi, but a gross insult to American civilization for Gov. Bilbo to state that he is too busy and has no time or money to spend for a lynching probe. The expressions of Dr. Drew met the unanimous at proval of his entire audience, several hundred persons signing the petition to the President, asking that action be taken at once. Dr. Drew preached a sermon on "The Handwriting on the Wall," and stated that the signs of the times indicated that the hand of fate is writing now on the minds of the American people; that a reckoning day is coming, and unless the clergy of the country would rise up in a solid phalanx and bitterly condemn this crime of lynching, the blame will rest largely on the clergy of all denominations. Dr. Drew himself has already written to President Coolidge with reference to the matter.

Obituary of David Kenneth Fisher The following sketch of the life of David Kenneth Fisher is but a feeble effort in depicting the life of a noble man. He was born at Columbia, Mo., Jan. 27th, 1888, passed away Friday, Dec. 28th, 6 o'clock A. M. at the age of 39 years. He was first stricken with the influenza, which yielded to a careful nursing to the extent that he was feeling fine. He had a relapse, however which developed into double pneumonia which resulted in his passing on the 12th day. Mr. Fisher was a self-made man, his parents died when he was but four years of age. His dear aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Garth of Rosedale, Kansas, reared and educated him, he was always a loving and obedient child. He attended Western University and graduated in 1910 in the tailoring department. He was the captain of the football team for W. U.; very active in athletics and was loved by his schoolmates and faculty. He was a devoted Christian having been converted twelve years ago and was baptized by Rev. S. W. Bascote, pastor of the 2nd Baptist Church, Kansas City, Mo. God has been preparing David and his devoted wife Bertie in Bible study for this earthly loss and Heaven's gain since last March. He met his wife who was attending the same school who was Bertie L. Tucker of Kansas City, Mo. God united them in holy matrimony April 20 in the year 1912. They were the parents of seven children—two infants being in Heaven to welcome their loving father. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

CHURCH The Great Union Revival began at Grant Chapel Wednesday, January 16. Rev. Nathaniel Hawthorn Jeltz Evangelist, conducted the meetings. The church was crowded each night from the very beginning. We can truthfully say that South Los Angeles is now in the midst of the greatest Revival in its history. The services begin promptly at 7:30. A chorus of fifty voices are singing each night. Although last Sunday was a stormy day a splendid congregation worshiped at the morning service and at three o'clock in the afternoon, notwithstanding the rain the church was two thirds filled with men to bear the Evangelist in his special lecture to men, and to say the least it was a wonderful message. Several came to the altar for prayer. brought to us another great message. Monday night the services began at Macedonia Baptist Church East 114th and Graham Avenue. Scores are being saved and united with the churches. The services will continue at Macedonia through the week. A Big Pageant and Crusaders' parade will be staged Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30. Sunday morning the Evangelist will speak at Macedonia and the Presiding Elder, Rev. J. W. Price, will preach at Grant Chapel in the afternoon at 2:00 o'clock the second. Quarterly meeting will be held at Grand Chapel, and the Evangelist will preach. Several ministers and members of their ongregations from the city will be with us Sunday afternoon. At night there will be no services at Grant Chapel. All will go to Macedonia for the union services. Monday and Tuesday nights of next week the meetings will be held at Grant Chapel. The meetings will close Tuesday night. Come and help in this great campaign for souls. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. L. M. Curtis, Pastor Sunday was a very rainy day but despite the inclement weather there were about 55 in Sunday School. Those present showed their interest in the lesson Mrs. Irene E. Bledsoe acted as Sirt. The lesson was reviewed remarkably by the pastor. The 11:00 o'clock services were witt-tested by a splendid representative or members. Evening services were held in joint session at Grant's Chapel A. M. E. Church where the Evangelist Rev. Jebzid had charge: Our revival is still in its height this week. Many souls are coming in the fold of God. No activities of the different departments of the churches will be in session until this Revival has closed. The pastor do not want anything to conflict with the "Great Campaign against Sin." The pastor and delegates returned from the Tri-County, Convention reporting a very delightful session. The meeting of the Friendship Baptist Church, South Los Angeles, were splendid, although weather conditions were bad. The session in the morning was delivered by Rev. Memory, of the Shiloh Baptist Church. A message was delivered by Pastor, Rev. A. P. Lamsey in the evening. The literary program was a success in the B. Y. P. U.

Stand up and tell the people what you have accomplished if you expect them to rally to your call. OFFICIALS SHOULD ACT ON BEHALF OF ROBERT POPE. Evidence at the coroner's inquest relating to the attempted escape of the desperado Hawkins which resulted in the death of of Hawkins in the jail elevator in the Hall of Justice in the early part of this week, unfolded the fact that Robert Pope the colored operator absolutely prevented the escape and possibly saved the lives of the other officers by his courageous act in grasping the arm of the desperate Hawkins. Two witnesses, the plumber and the bail bond agent, testified that when the desperado commanded hands up all hands went up including those of the two officers, but not Pope's, on the contrary Pope grappled with him and in so doing gave the officers the chance to lower their hands and get their artillery into action. Talk about reward for the faithful, if Pope is not in line for a substantial promotion, it is up to the proper officials to see that all barriers are swept aside and give to this hero his just deserts. Widespread attention has been attracted to the recent survey giving general approval to installment selling as economically sound when properly carried on. The conclusion arrived at has been referred to in the stock market as a bull argument. This may prove unfortunate because if there is anything consumer credit does not need it is incitement to splurge. Widespread attention has survey giving general appro- nomically sound when proper rived at has been referred to a ment.

The fact is not dismissed that in installment selling responsibility of the buyer is given no such thorough investigation as is ordinarily exercised in producer and bank credits. Intelligently handled the system is an important contribution to industrial progress, stabilizing output, increasing production, lowering costs and working for improved standards of living. The plan is abused, just as the cash and thirty-days credit plans were abused, but the abuses are gradually being eliminated. The partial payment plan has demonstrated that most people are honest even to the extent of paying their bills and that there are not enough who buy beyond their incomes to make the system unprofitable for merchant and manufacturer. However, the success of the system and the latest study of its workings should not prompt those who are financing this vast volume of credit to relax vigilance or neglect precautions which the very nature of the business demands.

There is no American tradition more firmly entrenched than the Sunday roast. With most families it is as much a part of Sunday as church services. The Sunday roast is an American institution. Roasts are particularly popular with wives, and the reason is not far to seek, for they give a wife an advantage over her husband that he finds great difficulty in overcoming. In the first place, Sunday roasts are popular with housewives because they solve not only the Sunday dinner problem but the Monday and Tuesday dinner problems as well. For on Monday they appear warmed over and on Tuesday in the guise of meat pie or stew. Thus at one stroke to provide three dinners out of seven is an accomplishment not to be sniffed at. But the significance of the Sunday roast is even more subtle than that. It appears contemporaneously with the clean Sunday table linen and accompanied with enough gravy to float a battleship. Only the most skillful hand can avoid a catastrophe. At the beginning of the meal the good wife warns against grease spots on the tablecloth, and she scolds about them at the end of the mal. So long as Sunday roasts appear upon the table husbands will have to undergo a weekly demonstration of their fallibility. It is a test of masculine prowess commensurate only with keeping the grass cut or remembering the articles to be purchased in town. Of course, a roast could be carved in the kitchen or the carving knife could be handed over to the deft, fingers of the better half, but that would be an admission of defeat which only the most domineering of husbands would have the hardihood to survive.

G Where is the "land of make-believe?" On the stage, in the movies, childhood, good reading? Yes, in all of these, but not in them alone. This is the "make-believe" age. Everything is mimicry, imitation, camouflage; all is artificial. Nothing is genuine but that it is copied. Ancient Spanish architecture is being copied in new American homes even to the imitation of the cracked masonry and stone exposed by fallen stucco. And along fine boulevards one can see the new and modern homes of the rich with roofs of humble thatch and sagging eaves, not less picturesque though much sturdier and more permanent than their prototypes. Carpenters and masons, with the guidance of architects are building the atmosphere of age in the modern home that this generation may enjoy all that is good in both antiquity and modernity. Then there is the imitation in dress. Grandmothers are successfully adapting to themselves the wardrobes of their granddaughters and their granddaughters are affecting the modes of their brothers. Factories here and abroad are producing "antiques" as fast as thousands of shops can sell them to curio-seekers and collectors. One now orders, instead of searches, for examples of early American furniture. And who will gainsaye that a good imitation and the right amount of imagination are equal to a genuine original? He is a rare man who knows a man he would be willing to marry if he were a woman. Page----Six A DOLLAR DOWN THE SUNDAY ROAST If You Fail To Read----THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE----You May Never Know It Happened COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The first half of the bifurcated session of the legislature came to a close Friday, Jan. 18th. To convene again Monday Feb. 18th, thereby giving the solons 30 days to study the thousand and or more measures introduced at the first half of the session. There will be any amount of forensic battling, and several of the veterans are girding themselves for the fray. Buel, the "Bee" cartoonist has had a lot of fun caricaturing the members of the house and senate. He recently caught the Hon. F. M. Roberts in one of his meditative moments. No doubt he was pondering on some method to clarify and shorten the ballot. The resolution to impeach Judge Hardy caused a ripple on the legislative stream. It was fostered by the Los Angeles delegation but after caucus consultation and some debate on the floor it was passed to the committee on Judiciary, and deferred to the next session. Reapportionment wil cause some heated discussions, as will the repeal of the Wright Act, and substitution thereof for the Volstead federal act. The main contestants in this battle of intellects will be Hon. William Hornblower of San Francisco and the Hon. T. M. Wright, San Jose, father of the Wright Bill. Much comment is being heard about the speech of the Hon Mark L. Requa of Santa Barbara before the Rotary Club of Sacramento. Mr. Requa was the California manager of the Hoover campaign, and is quoted as being very close to the incoming administration. The subject of his address was, The Relation of Government to Industry, and he took several raps at "Government Ownership" and it has the politicians guessing whether or no he was voicing the sentiments of the president elect, or paving the way for "Power Trust" propaganda in the distribution of hydraulic power from the Boulder Dam project. The shipping board and railway administration of the war period were cited as "ghastly failures." The functions of government and business are separate and should be kept separate, says Requa. It required the government seven years to bring the Boulder Dam project to the status it is now in with the passage of the bill by congress and its signing by the president, "and the end is not yet" he went on. "I understand that one state may take the matter to the courts and it may go on to the United States Supreme Court and there is no telling when the end will come." The people of California are now engaged in a battle with the "Power Trust." The telephone and electric power companies are seeking to raise the rates and saddle a greater burden on the people for the use of those necessities. It is to the interest of the people that the hydraulic electric power derived from the project be controlled by the government. It will be wel to watch carefully the Requa trend. Rabbi Newman in a recent address over the radio said, "The attitude of the American electorate is one of apathy." It is only too true. It takes a cataclysm to arouse them. Wrong things exist because of the existing apathy. Bad laws; violation of good laws; the general nullification of constitutional states, all come from apathy of the public. Do you dream for an instant that the practical nullification of the 14th, 15th and 18th amendments would be tolerated should the electorate show the proper spirit? We are waiting patiently to see what the effect will be when the Federal reapportionment act is enforced. There will be a scramble to count the population as the representation in congress will be apportioned on the basis of votes cast. It may be that a number of the disfranchised will come into their own. * * * * * en Cabinet" of president elect Hoover regularity and have portioned out the everything from Assistant Attorney i has been apportioned. There is a when the plums are distributed because to go round. It is rumored that the ann and Hawkins, have picked out are hovering over them like a hen the far west seems to be forgotten or a know that you have a vote out th The "Kitchen Cabinet" of president elect Hoover has been meeting with regularity and have portioned out the jobs to be distributed. Everything from Assistant Attorney General to Minister to Haiti has been apportioned. There is going to be a big "yawp" when the plums are distributed because there will not be enough to go round. It is rumored that the big four—Scott, Holsey, Vann and Hawkins, have picked out the desirable berths and are hovering over them like a hen mothering her chickens. The far west seems to be forgotten entirely. Of course, boys, you know that you have a vote out this way and that vote is counted. Does Scott or Hawkins or Holsey have a vote that is counted? Bob Vann is the only one of the "big fur" who can exercise the right of franchise and not be molested. I keep telling you that you have to get in and show your voting even though you don't elect your man. The report that the Hon. Charles Evans Hughes was to enter the Hoover cabinet as Secretary of State, seems to be rather far fetched. Unless the former Justice should resign from the permanent court of international justice we doubt his availability for any office. It is doubtful whether he could be induced to give up the court membership which would be more to the liking of such an eminent lawyer. Judge Haines in the superior court sitting at San Diego ruled that section 9-B of the Alien Land Law is unconstitutional because it does not give equal protection under the law to all persons as required by the constitution of the United States. It was virtually a test case and was backed by wealthy Japanese to test the validity of the law. Six Japanese residents of San Diego county were on trial on a grand iurv indictment charging conspiracy to violate the law prohibiting ownership by Japanese subjects of land in California. The section ruled on by the court places on the defendant the burden of proving his citizenship. A statewide interest has been given this trial, which is being regarded as a test of the law prohibiting alien ownership of land. Officers who have spent a number of months investigating conditions say that thousands of acres garden land are controlled by the Japanese in violation of the law. From whom do those Japanese purchase the land? Certainly not from a Japanese! That purchase or contract is made from a non-alien whose cupidity and greed outweigh his conscience. We should not blame the Japanese but should delve down to the bottom. Find out the real culprit. A long cortege followed the remains of Samuel Derrick from the funeral parlors to the last resting place in Odd Fellows Lawn Cemetery. His death was a very sudden one, being ill little more than an hour. The Chapel was crowded with friends of the deceased. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. His popularity shown by the vast attendance of out-of-town friends. It was not to be marvelled at: Courteous, generous to a fault, no man or woman ever appealed to his sympathy and was disappointed in largess. No one hungry appealed to him and went away unfed. No one was shelterless that he provided not a shelter. Many remembered his kindness, and strong men were not ashamed of their tears. He leaves two brothers, David and Charlie, the well known clubman; a sister, mother and wife mourn his passing. He was a charter member of Sierra Lodge of Elks under whose auspices he was intered. The eulogy was given by Rev. McClure, and the music was furnished by the choir of St. Andrews under the direction of Madame Elebeck. A resolution adopted by Golden Poppy Temple was read by one of the daughters. Samuel Derrick, though quiet and unassuming, will be missed in the circle in which he moved and mourned by the entire community. A citizen of worthwhile, always ready to assist in any movement for progress of the community or the welfare of a people. He will live long in the memory of Sacramentans. Every day at the State Printing plant one sees evidence of the adage that, "In Union There is Strength." Every department, except the porters, is organized in union. The book-binders, pressmen, linotype and monotype operators, all are organized and they practically dictate under what conditions they shall work and what pay shall be received for their service. During the first part of the legislative session the plant was running day and night. The State Printer is fortunate in having as heads of different departments men who are efficient. The superintendent, J. M. Welsh, is popular with the employees and there is a spirit of helpfulness between the heads of the different departments which has created a splendid morale. Therefore when the time comes for pressure there is no shirking. As was stated, the amount of work turned out is due to the splendid morale of the plant which could come only from the sympathetic understanding between the heads and those under them. Four thousand, three hundred and fifty-four (4,354) schools at a cost of $20,000,000 have been built in the rural districts of the south for Negroes. One-third of this amount came from the Julius Rosenwald fund. The rest from Negroes, whites, and county governments. That represents the building program since 1913. There has been quite an awakening in certain parts of the South to the needs of better school facilities, not among Negroes only, but there are districts where illiteracy among the whites is deplorable. It is a common thing to find whites who can neither read nor write, and it is from that class the violators of the law are recruited. It is from that class that the designing political demaiogue incites the mob and raises them to the frenzy of racial hates. It was to the advantage of the political climber of past years to keep in ignorance those whom he would lead. It was easy to sway them with passionate outbursts of oratory. It was easy to tell them that in order to keep the Negro down he must use violence of the most brutal nature. But things have changed, and with the change has come a new and better South. It is not what it should be, and its progress is marred by occasional outbursts of savagery. It takes some time to rehabilitate it and divorce it entirely from its former habits, but there is hopeful signs and much of it is due to more and better school houses. We have almost overlooked one of the most important of the measures introduced in the legislature. It was offered by Senator Thomas Maloney of San Francisco and would have "third termers" at the altar forced to assure the county clerk that they had provided for any children by a former marriage before they could secure a license for another attempt at matrimony. Under the bill, upon making application for a license to marry, all persons who had formerly tried matrimony would be obliged to show the number of children by former marriage and to assure the licensing officer that adequate provision had been made for them. It is in keeping with the progress of California in the enactment of humanitarian laws that such should be on the statute books. There has been much talk about a constitutional convention. Really we do believe it would hurt. The constitution with its numerous amendments is a veritable patch-piece. It needs the pruning knife. The document has tried to keep pace with the progress of the State and in doing so has become a cumbersome piece of state machinery. It is to be hoped that a convention for the revision of the State Constitution will be seriously considered by the solons when they again convene. Colored Members Of Ilinois Legislature Net Invited To Inaugural Ball (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 22. Wives of the colored members of the Illinois General Assembly became incensed Monday night when they learned that their husbands had been slighted in the issuance of invitations to the inaugural ball, held for Gov. Louis L. Emerson in the state arsenal in Stringfield. There are five colored members of the lower house, and one colored senator, Adolbert H. Roberts, who had charge of the Hoover campaign among colored voters in the west. At one of the assembly sessions Speaker David Shapahan had informed the members that the Hamilton club, a notoriously anti-Negro political organization, despite its so-called loyalty to the ideals of Hamilton, the treasurer of the United States, reputed to have been a Negro, had charge of the invitations to the ball. Passes to the ball, it is said, had been given to a colored man named James Brewington. Two or three of the members accepted these passes from Browington, but did not use them because of the absence of an invitation. Others resented the fact that somebody had employed this outside man to "take care" of the regularly elected state representatives. Protest against the action was made Tuesday morning by the representatives who called upon Carlos Black the adjutant general. Representative Kersey informed the adjutant general that the colored voters and taxpayers of the state would not yield without proper complaint to the use of the state arsenal, constructed and maintained with the money of the taxpayers. It is probable that this action will cause to flare up again the charge that the new governor of Illinois is a Klansman. The accusation was made surreptitiously a number of times during the recent campaign and it served to create a question mark in the minds of most Negroes as to the real attitude of the governor. Almost coincident with this action in the state capitol of Illinois, comes work from Washington, D.C., that the Congressional Club of that city, hitherto composed of the wives of representatives in congress, senators and wives of the supreme court justices, had taken on under consideration a new by-law which could be used to keep Mrs. DePriest, wife of the new congressman from the First district of Illinois, out of the club. If the by-law is passed, it will be necessary for an applicant for membership; to secure the endorsement of one or more members from her state and the approval of the executive committee of the club. The executive committee is left free to disapprove for any reason or for no reason. Thus Mrs. DePriest might be barred and the wives of white members who were persons non gratu to one of the present members. The new bylaw was introduced by Mrs. Albert B. Vestal, wife of an Indiana representative, Indiana is one of the most Klan-ridden states in the union. Mrs. Vestal has denied that she had any idea of color in proposing the amendment, but the fact that the amendment will be voted on just one month before Mrs. DePriest becomes eligible for membership is rumored in social circles in Washington to be more than a mere coincidence. That the amendment will be ap proved is by no means certain, according to some authorities. Some of the members are said to regard it as unnecessary. Many assume that Mrs. DePriest probably would not attempt to exercise her right to membership. Also there is a feeling that the power conferred upon the executive committee might lead to the building up of a social oligarchy. It is interesting to note that Mrs. DePriest has been much more active socially since her husband's election than hitherto. A number of receptions have been given in her home and elsewhere. Another element to be taken into consideration is the spirit of Mr. Friday, January 25, 1929 Hoots Of The Owl What does it matter if some one should leave you a little gift of money for your advice on a matter? Some people sure begrudge others. (THEY ARE STILL AFTER JUDGE HARDY'S LITTLE $2,500.) * * * Just when Mr. Kellogg thought that he had succeeded in making peace with the world (THE HOME TOWN BOYS IN WASHINGTON) decided that they would test this said (PEACE PACT) to find out if it contained by mistake (AN ARTICLE FOR WAR) and you can't blame them. (SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY BONERS PULLED, UNDER THE GIUSE OF PEACE TREATIES.) So I think that the best (TREATY) that they could possibly decide on would be to (TREAT EACH OTHER AS THEY THEMSELVES WISH TO BE TREATED, AND THAT'S A D—N GOOD, TREATY.) Some people spend most of their lives, trying to prove that man did evolve from a higher plane to this earth, while others try to prove that we are direct descendants from monkeys, but the more you look at the human race you are almost forced to believe the latter, but however which is which, it will take time to tell. See where the Governor of Oklahoma has been ousted by the senate pending the outcome of a charge. (Wonder what the charge is?) He must have dealt fairly with some Negro, as the papers up until now have not stated the cause of action. Governor At Smith has given, the boys a last chance to snap his picture but I can't blame him. (SOME-PODY MIGHT TAKE IT AND SELL IT TO SOME REPUBLICAN FOR HIS KID TO PLAY WITH). Every one seems to be up in arms because Gov. Bill of Mississippi did not call out the state militia when a mob burned at the stake a Negro who was charged with murder. (BUT WHY SHOULD WE BE SURPRIzed AT THAT. IT IS DONE EVERY DAY.) Yours. THOMAS ROWLETT. Rodger Williams U Moved to Memphis (Pv: A. N. P.) Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 22.—Roger Williams University, founded a Nashville in 1866 by the American Baptist Home Mission Society of New York and operated in the recent years under the control of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee was transferred to Memphis and merged with the Howe College last week. The combined schools will be known as Roger Williams College. The faculty and students came in special passenger train furnished by the N. C. and St. L. Railway. The Memphis pastors met the party at the station and conveyed them to the Howe buildings where the school will be operated temporarily pending the erection of a suitable building on a thirty-acre campus on South Parkway. Students have enrolled from Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Indiana. The trustees found it necessary to take over some additional buildings to accommodate the enlarged school. Memphis bids fair to become an important educational center with Roger Williams developed into a great university in the midst of a vast Negro population. Rev. T. O. Fuller who fostered the merger is president and Rev. A. McEwen Williams dean. The Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Tennessee has started in a financial drive to finance their enlarged educational program. Contributing centers have been named over the state and definite quotas assigned to each center. The rally heads up, in Memphis January 25th, when the Executive board of the convention will meet, and the reports from all centers received. The Rev. R. B. Roberts is president of the Convention, Rev. F. M. Williams, Director of the campaign. DePriest himself. He makes a boast and fetish of his courage. If failure to unite with every club, association or agency in which he was entitled to membership, or his wife, should be interpreted by Negroes as a kind of weakness or backing up in the face of fire, it is probable that DePriest would go all the way until definite means were taken to stop him.

THE PRACTICAL IDEAL IN INDUS TRIAL RELATIONS Water seeks its own level. So does human thought. The trend of any group movement definitely reflects its dominant thought. After three years the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters still maintains its original high purpose. In spite of many attacks designed to demoralize its members, the course of its affairs has not been deflected. This speaks well for their moral and intellectual standing. There are exceptions of course. Occasionally a porter will be found who has been influenced by these attacks. His mental caliber may be fairly measured by his reactions to these influences. As a rule he either shrinks, within himself and avoids contact with former associates, or becomes abusive of the porters organization, seminegly under the impression that such obviously irrational behavior will attract favorable attention from the management. One is inclined to be charitable with the former, but the latter needs to be set right. The porter who believes he can carry favor with his employer by indulging in fatuous criticism of better men should understand that dishonesty wins no medals in honorable society. One fact stands forth with clarity: Porters attain their highest moral and intellectual standing thru membership in the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The explanation is simple—The fundamental principle of the order is the Golden Rule and the rule is embodied in the Practical Ideal in Industrial Relations. This is perfect human relationship and hence no man can outgrow it. Pullman service offers no substitute for the man who seeks encouragement in the development of his character as a man and his efficiency as an employee. SERVICE A LA CHIEF On a very recent trip on the Chief Faust-bound, Los Angeles to Chicago, the following requests were made and handled: Passenger occupying drawing room and compartment desired a desk reading lamp. A message was sent to Winslow, Arizona, found the train master at this point ready with one. It was his personal property. A man in a drawing room was suffering from an acute case of tonsolitis. A doctor on the train prescribed a special antidote. The train was not due to stop for three hours but a message was sent to Flagstaff, Arizona. As the train passed through this station at slackened speed, the antidote was picked up with the change for a bill of state amount which was thrown off. This was administered to the patient, as the result of which he left the train at Chicago feeling well. This same procedure was followed in the cast of another drawing room passenger who desired some chocolate covered tablets to relieve a cold this time at Holbrook, Arizona. CHAFING DISH SPECIALITIES It takes a mighty little shove to send some men down hill. Statistics prove conclusively that a locomotive is not afraid of a motor car. News Item says: The chemical analysis of the human body is valued at 87 Cents. Potassium—enough to explode a toy cannon. Sugar—enough for ten cups of coffee. Phosphorus—enough for a sixpenny Fat—Enough for six bars of soap. Lime—Enough to whitewash a chick en coop. Sulphur—Enough to rid a dog of fleas. Food specialists are now recommend spaghetti as containing all of the health giving elements, including of course, exercise. HEARD AND SEEN AMONG THE PULLMANITES The Santa Fe is operating a new sleeper on the Chief, that is in a class by itself. It has eight sections, one drawing room and two compartments. The very lastest in lighting fixtures, decorations, improved facilities, clothes lockers, mattress, spring, etc., make it truly a palace on wheels. It is worth the $10.00 extra fare to ride in it. A touch of Oriental has been added to the Overland and Gold Coast Limited of the Union and Southern Pacific—Northwestern crack trains, by placing Chinese maidens to care for milady's wants on these speed demons. What has become of the Maids that have been on the waiting list for the past year waiting to be called for service. Have these Orientals, who have only been doing service on a one-night train, been able to demonstrate to the Pullman Company that they are superior in service to our maids? Or is this one of the means that Pullman Company is using to scare them from affiliating with the Brotherhood. Maids Ella Greer and Mable Ruffman are still on leave of absence. Maid B. A. Marshall who has been confined to her little Blue Heaven with a severe attack of the Flu, has fully recovered and returned to her duties on the Los Angeles Limited. Maid Alma Hayes was seen in our city the past week, making an extra trip on The Santa Fe. A.

Williams from Port Arthur, Texas, tried his "small change" ruse too often and is dead by Charity hospital having been shot by a policeman Sunday. Dozens of grocery and drug stores have been victimized recently by orders for small purchases to be delivered to certain residences with change for a five, ten, or twenty dollar bill. When the delivery was made Williams would hold up the errand boy and vanish with the change. Sunday night Williams 'phoned a drug store for some cigars with instructions to send twenty dollars change. When the boy arrived, he was grabbed and ordered to deliver the change. A police officer in hiding shot Williams in the back, the bullet, taking an upward course lodging in his neck. THE WORLD IN SPORTS Classes Reopen At The Counterfeiters Caught Lafayette School (Continued from page 7) hills, with Thomas Moseley playing an unforgettable part. It also found Chicago in the mood for entertainment with a Negro flavor and with Negro performers. Frederick Donaghey, the town's severest critic, declared that there were parts of Moseley's performance that were as fine as any he had ever witnessed. This play closed last Saturday night, completing a run that was longer than that enjoyed by "Shuffle Along" in this city. Chicago's rialto has been rather fed up on Negro musical comedies which was perhaps the reason that Miller and Lyles "Keep Shuffin'" did not click in the manner of the two dramas above. When Arnold Rothstein, reputed backer of the Miller-Lyles song-and-dance confection was murdered, the show closed in, Chicago after a discouraging two weeks' run. In addition to the shows which have employed Negro actors in the main, there have been others, as in New York, that give employment to the Negro performer, Snow Fisher, inimitable dancer, travels with McIntyre and Heath's "Headin' South". Another colored performer wins a warm hand in "The Trial of Mary Duran." California's contribution to the city's entertainment menu is Garland Aderson's "Appearances." playing on Schubert time at the Princess. It is now in its third week and going strong. The daily newspaper critics have differed in their estimates of the play, but perhaps the best estimate is that based on the gradually growing audiences which go to see it. Anderson is a good showman. He brought the show here from California, playing throughout the northwest and in Canada. One performance was given in Spokane, Washington. After seeing it, R. L. Rudder, president of the Spokane Eastern Trust Company, presented Anderson with a check for $22,500, just to help him along. Miss Sally Rudder, daughter of the bank president, is playing the part of the maid in "Appearances." Anderson believes he has struck the road to success, declares that the show being given here is much better than the one New York saw, and that he has been encouraged by the progress he has made to write another drama out of his feeling and experience. Chicago's favorable mood to the professionals has inspired the local amateurs to renewed efforts.

The great Erick Von Strohelm, eminent film director, who is noted for his penchant for exact, and accurate detail in all his pictures, called for a Black Priest in his latest vehicle. "Queen Kelly." After an almost exhaustive search, Mr. Frazier was decided upon to essay the role. This far he has succeeded admirably. VIGILANT CLERK DETECTS RAIS ED 1 DOLLAR BILLS; AR- DEST FOLLOWS One day after notice had been posted in the various daily papers, calling the attention of the public of the passing of spurious $10 bills, three young colored men were booked as raised bill artists. W. Taylor Goodwin, manager of Child's Billiard Parlor, proved their nemesis. It appears that late Thursday evening, January 13th the three suspects, Morris Coleman; William Brown and Ted Evans, came into the establishment and in a feigned drunken manner attempted to purchase some cigars, proffering one of the raised bills in payment. Goodwin taking the bill, observed only the likeness of George Washington thereon. He rang up the bill and offered the three men change for the dollar. They claimed he received a $10 bill, while Goodwin was giving the bill closer inspection one of them snatched it from him and gave back the cigars and the change, and left. Goodwin put Frank Watkins, a special officer on their trail. He could not get the goods on them that night. He learned where they were stopping and sent for the police. The next day Koehn and Faber from Newton Devision Detective Bureau made the arrest. They secured sufficient additional evidence to secure their conviction for Grand Theft and Bunko.

Richmond, Va., Jan. 16.—The refusal of the City Council to accept the report of the sub-committee which recommended that the matter of the propedeed segregation ordinance be placed in the hands of a committee composed of members of the council, the mayor and citizens of both races, the famous ordinance again became a matter of public interest. The latest protest against the passage of the bill, which would prohibit Negroes from living in certain districts and cause those already living in neighborhoods that are predominantly white to move before April 1, was made Tuesday evening when more than 500 Negro citizens, at a mass meeting in the True Reformers Hall, adopted the following resolution condemning the bill: "The Negroes of Richmond have through their tolerance, through their refusal to countenance any act calculated to disturb the friendly relations existing between the races in Richmond, and through their co-operation in every effort to promote the best interests of Richmond, have earned the reputation of being peaceful, useful, and law-abiding citizens. They have never been militant or assertive even under the most extreme provocation. They have borne wrongs and injustices at the hands of the administrators of the government of Richmond with only an occasional protest, hoping that the conscience of Richmond would finally awake and that right and justice would unseat race prejudice and intolerance. "They have believed the assurances of the white people of Richmond and they are friends of the Negro, and have waited patiently for some concrete evidence of this friendship. They have hesitated to join national movements designed to resist oppressive anti-Negro legislation, feeling that Richmond's problem could be better solved by citizens of Richmond. This narrative attests the faith the Negroes had in their white neighbors. "Richmond is the only city in the South which has white principals in colored schools. It is the only city of consequence in which there is no definite evidence of the friendship professed. It is the only Southern city which offers a segregation ordinance as proof of the friendship of the whites for the blacks. The Negroes of Richmond view this apparent determination of certain members of City Council to further humiliate them by the passage of this segregation ordinance with alarm, and consider the act decidedly unfriendly. PROTECTION IS ALL "It is, therefore, the sense of this meeting that we form ourselves into a permanent organization to safeguard and protect the rights of the 65,000 Negroes of Richmond, and save our city from the shame threatened by the enactment of this unfair, intolerant, unnecessary segregation ordinance, and any other legislation or act which interferes with unrammed enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. "Be it therefore resolved, that the chairman of this meeting be authorized and directed to issue this statement in the name of all Negro citizens of Richmond, and that he is hereby empowered to appoint appropriate committees, to solicit the aid or any agency in sympathy with this movement, and to take such steps as are necessary to put into effect the sentiment of this meeting. "Be it further resolved that every person present and the representatives of organized groups among Negroes in Richmond, pledge their moral and financial support to this movement." Dr. Leon A. Reid presided, and J. B. Demus acted as secretary. Among the speakers were Dr. W. T. Johnston, W. L. Ransome, J. F. Thornton, B. H. Beverley and H. J. Faulks. Editor Says Mississippi Will Look After "Her Negroes" (By: A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Jan. 15.—Major Frederick Sullens, editor of the Jackson, Miss. News, now in this city for a rest, believes that Mississippi is headed towards an era of prosperity in line with that of Louisiana. Discussing the recent presidential campaign Major Sullens declared that the Republican party had attempted to evade the responsibility of Negro leadership in the south by charging Percy Howard, national committeeman from Mississippi with conspiracy to sell federal patronage. He said that the action of the white Democratic jury in exonerating Howard within five minutes was proof that Mississippi would care for "her Negroes" if they were right. Nothing was said, however, about the lynching of Son McCallum and Charley Shepherd.
