Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, was a recorder at the White House. Dr. Moton is reported as saying: "I have great hopes after talking with Presides over, that the present administrator is going to consider our group in larger and finer way than has been so far many years. "I believe that the President is determined to fair and square in his treatment of us. It is my sanguine opinion that we will receive greater recognition to be given fuller opportunity to see our country's affairs in more responsive places than hitherto has ever been true. "I am not tired about the so-called 'Lily-Whit' institution in the south. There ought to be on each of the patronage committees which are being set up in the previous states one or more Nerro representatives, and I am hopeful that the will be done." as Leon Duval used a near-penic, when he went in the new dance hall at 55th street and central Ave., and began perform some of his "bad man stunts." The young man being under the influence of some drug, was ejected from the house, and immediately began knitting and teating everyone who came near him. He was finally captured by autenant Littleton McDun, and on Arthur Cole, of Newton Street Dean, and lodged in jail. He faces a sentence of from six months to five years imprisonment. THE HAMPTON-KELLY NUPTIALS THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN The marriage of Rev. Charles Herman Hampton and Miss Exie Lee Kelly was very quietly solemnized last Saturday, June 1st, at high noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Matt Solomon, 1661 E. 23rd St., in the presence of the immediate family and a few intimate friends. The bride and groom were almost concealed in a bower of beautifully arranged flowers. The affair was unique in that the ceremony was performed by three ministers each of whom had their respective part of the ceremony, viz: Rev. Frank James, pastor of Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Boyle Heights, assisted by Rev. W. D. Carter, Moderator of the Western Baptist Association; L. M. Curtis, Executive Secretary of the Western Baptist Association and pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church, Watts. Mrs. Exie Hampton (nee Exie Lee Kelly) is a graduate of Kansas State College, University of Southern California and posted for two summers in Columbia University, New York. Before coming to California was head of the Home Economic Department at West Virginia Collegiate Institute for three years; Wilberforce one year and is now in charge of the Home Economic Department of the East Side High School, El Centro, California. Rev. Hampton is a graduate of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, and was for four years Colporter Missionary for the Western Baptist Association, now pastor of the Second Baptist Church, El Centro. Afte the ceremony a dinner was served to the family and the bride and groom at the Hampton home on 37th street, after which they motored to their home in El Centro, by way of San Diego. They left Wednesday on their honeymoon for San Francisco and points north to be gone for night. Quite 2,000 members of the Los Angeles Development Association, friends and invited guests sat down to a banquet in honor of John C. Porter to celebrate his election as Mayor of this city on last Tuesday. The banquet was held at 631 South Flower street on Wednesday evening. The writer as a representative of the press was invited to attend and we will not hesitate to say that on this occasion we met, without question the most thorough and complete democratic body which it has been our lot to meet since in many years of experience in political gatherings. There was nothing manifest over a victorious campaign other than an exuberance of joy that a principle souls CANNOT BE IMPROVED and fought for had been achieved, no rancor, hate or abuse toward anybody, but love and affection reigned supreme. Every class of our citizenship was represented and called upon for an expression—this included the Italian-American, the Jewish-American, Anglo-American, German-American, Afro-American—in fact, all were represented and their remarks cheered to the echo. High lights of the evening were short addresses made by the Jewish Rabbi, Ernest Tractner, pastor of City Temple, and Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church; each of these received an ovation. Rev. Bob Shuler was there and received an ovation second only to that accorded the mayor-elect himself. Other notables delivered ringing addresses. We certainly experienced one big evening and the thought prevailed in our minds that after all, the nobler sons of America have said to the forces, which would foist upon our cony bigotry, prejudice, hate and secession: thus far and no further, and humanity returning to first principles. At the altar of truth will bow, and the sable sons of America will be called brother and the story of how he rose to a higher estate will be the theme of dreamers and the writers of the truths which outdo fiction by its strengths. Southern Senators and Klan Go Down in Defeat as Reapportionment Bill Passes in Senate (Bv: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., June 5.—Southern solons, along with the drys and Ku Klux Klan went down to defeat here Wednesday when the senate passed the combined census-reapportionment Bill by the overwhelming majority of 57 to 26. The bill, which provides some $400,000,000 for the 1930 census and for the first redistribution of congressional representation since 1911, now goes to the House of Representatives. The defeat of the combination of Southern Senators, drys and klansmen, was made more complete when the Senate rejected the amendments to exclude aliens from population counts intended as the basis for reapportionment and that offered by Senator Cole Blessen of South Carolina, to prevent the employment of aliens as census takers. Under the terms of the Vandenburg Bill, the president of the United States is authorized to proclaim a redistribution of congressional representation based on the so-called "major fractions" system used in the 1911 apportionment, if Congress fails after the 1930 census to order a reapportionment. According to present estimates, some 23 seats in Congress will be involved. The following states would lose seats: Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Missouri, and the following states will gain one or more seats: Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Washington, New Jersey, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, and California. While Southern senators fought bitterly against the Vandenburg Bill, the provisions thereof will not affect the southern representation as would the reapportionment basis on the number of registered voters. Dr. J. M. Riddle Delivers Baccalaureate Sermon At Friends College Dr. J. M. Riddle, well known Baptist divine and dear of the West Coast Theological Seminary, had the distinction of being invited and delivering the Commencement Sermon of Friends College on June the 5th.

ELMER C. BARTLETT, Director. ED SANDERS, Mgr. The above is the likeness of Evelyn Turner Warren, whose soulful singing held twenty thousand people spellbound at the Coliseum, Decoration Day. Miss Warren was perfectly at home at the microphone and seemed to be Divinely inspired by the occasion. At the reception for Wm. L. Grayson, Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. W. V., on May 14, 1923 at Patriotic Hall, the Master of Ceremonies tad this to say of this young woman's voice: "Only the Creator could place such a beautiful voice in a human being," and the following letter was sent to her by the Secretary of this organization: Miss Evelyn Turner Warren, 1578 W. 37th Place, Los Angeles, Calif. Dear Silver Voice: The Committee on Arrangements for the Reception of Wm. L. Grayson, Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. W. V., wishes to extend to you its most sincere thanks for your most charming contribution to the entertainment at Patriotic Hall, May 14, 1929. Words fail to describe the beautiful tones which floated from your throat and filled the audience there assembled with ecstatic repture. Please accept this as our testimonial to the most beautiful singing we have heard for years. Yours sincerely, BY THE COMMITTEE, F. H. Laurance, Chm. By. Will L. Rule, Secy. 2017 Brighton St. Wilmar, Calif. Miss Warren has had broad experience in Radio and Vitaphone work, being soloist and manager of the Silvertone Ladies Quartette, and having sung for Universal's "Show Boat" and Warner Bros.' "On With the Show." This well-known artist has given generously of her talent to the Los Angeles Public, and for several years was soloist for Wesley Chapel Chapel, also became widely know among the other group by introducing the songs of Eugene Edgar Page, the composer-planist. It is the firm belief of the writer that this singer, with the proper support will soar to unknown heights in the musical world. Weil Wins Judgment Samuel Weil of East Washington street, pioneer resident of Los Angeles, successfully closed, last Monday, a suit in the Superior Court which had lasted six days. Mr. Weil suffered a fractured thigh-bone last Hallowe'en and was suing for damages. The judgment amount to $3175.00 and costs. Attorney Leon Whitaker represented Mr. Wall. Attorneys L. M. Andrews and Henry L. Knoop represented Mr. L. J. Brandt, the defendant. DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS, field secretary of the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People, will speak at the World Congress against Imperialism, which will be held in Paris, France, this summer. TUESDAY evening the Rev. "Bob" Shuler who with his flock, the Trinity M. E. Church, had exhausted every reasonable means to persuade Governor C. C. Young to veto the Radio Measure; with a little hoarseness of voice that usually is the accompaniment to a disappointment, announced to his radio world that he had lost this fight. "But" said sir "Bob," I am a going to fight just as hard for a clean city. I am doing in Los Angeles just what I did in Virginia and Texas." OFTEN we allow our prejudices to run away with our reason. In announcing his failure to win the radio fight, the Rev. Mr. Shuler said I have no ill will for the governor. I believe in signing the Radio bill he did what he believed was right. THIS attitude of mind is not always the case with the group that we represent. We seem to think that if we disagree politically, this means that we disagree in everything else the remainder of our lives. And then there are those who, if they subscribe to the paper feel that you should absolutely coincide with their political beliefs. THESE are mistaken ideas. Independence of thought and action are the inalienable rights of every voter. And so long as we cherish in our hearts and minds these petty prejudices just so long will we be a divided people. "United we stand, divided we fall." DAY by day in every way it seems that we get farther away from getting together and the so-called superior race looks on and smiles as did the Devil in "FAJUST." When a Negro leader goes to the white political boss and tells him what he is able to do his proposal is met with a smile, but deep in the white man's mind is a realization that he himself with the proper amount of flattery can get further in the confidence of this man's group than he can. BUT these mental diseases can be cured—and they must be cured. FIRST ANTIDOTE: Our leaders must grow less selfish. The proposition of me and my son John and his family getting theirs and the rest of you as far as I am concerned may perish, is not the right slant. It matters not whether we are Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, or Holiness; Yellow, Black or Brown we are all members of the so called colored group and must join hearts and hands in our effort to overcome the impediments in the way of our progress THE SECO ND ANTIDOTE needed to overcome the overwhelming disease at this time is a conscious awakening to the fact, that we are able within our own limitations to rule ourselves. That is, that we do not need to go without the rank end file of our group to find out how to get on with each other—and this spells confidence— But I hear you saving I have lost confidence in our leaders. Well, if this is your present attitude of mind; it means this that you have lost confidence in one's self means that the Spring from which you replenish life's stream is growing dry. We succeed that you re-fill your fountain of hope join hands with the one next to you and move up step by step on the ladder of success. THE THIRD and final antidote for our present dilemma is an over dose of love. The religion that does not teach by practice—Love those that hate and despitefully use you is a religion that is wanting in its essential parts. IT IS the hope that we of the East Side have emerged from this political campaign with no feeling of bitterness, but with a greater desire to understand each other and thus understand that our needs are one and the same.

MILLS Friday, June 7, 1929 Railroad D ClatteR By CHAS. L. UPTON WOMEN'S ECONOMIC COUNCIL WILL GIVE GINGHAM DANCE That industrious body of distin-guished ladies, known as The Women's Economic Council, under the leadership of Mrs. J. E. Stafford, will give a gingham dress dance at the beautiful New Savoy Ballroom, 1063 East 55th St., Thursday, June 25th, which from all indications of the preparations being made will far surpass any dance of the kind yet given in Los Angeles. All the fair sex will be asked to wear gingham dresses and a prize will be awarded to the lady wearing the best looking gingham dress. Mrs. Chas. L. Upton chairman of the Entertainment Committee and a capable staff of members of the W. E. C. have been working very hard to make this novelty dance one of the most outstanding events of the year. The hottest orchestra in town has been engaged to render the music, and regardless of whether your girl wears gingham or celico when she hears these artists play some of their latest dance hits you can figure on some wicked foot-shaking taking place. All the who's who in railroad circles will be there—Pullman Porters, Dinin g car Waiters, Chef Cooks and the writer. Just put that date down in your note book. The women of the Council will be dolled up in ging-hame just alike. I mean this dance is going to be tight like that.

MAX HALL AT CONVENTION There were so many Southern Pacific dining cars and dining car waiters here during the Fairline Convention that Percy Buck lost track of them and sent a hot wire, for the famous Max Hall to come down as his guest and help him keep track of them. Max is a wise man and he knew if he made the trip he would have to be worrying around with Traveling Chef, Thomas Harison, so he brought his chef instructor Henderson Davis of Oakland along with him and everything went off smoothe.

After the parade and the flower strewing on the waves, those who had no special reason to be sorrowful proceeded and made merry the day. By the time this article is read the great N. A. A. C. P.

Say folks, it looks like the good old days of free and sociable entertainments are at an end—nearly dead, dying—every time anyone thinks of giving a social, or party its a benefit. The American people are great commercializers—we commercialize everything: religion, politics, holidays, etc. The slogan of the people seems to be: "above all things get money!"

Maxwell and Mrs. Mary Murrell and two brothers, Boyd and Garfield Carter. The services were held under the airspaces of the Ocean View Lodge, No. 15. Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member.

On the day of his death, he summoned Attorney J. H. O'Nell, who had told him his brother had left him $1600 of his war risk insurance, and he had $1600 with which to do whatever he wanted. "Ah can't take it wiv me," Jimmie said. "Let it go to help some other kid along." To this statement Attorney O'Nell has made amidavit before Superior Judge Stephens. The attorney has asked to be appointed administrator of the dead boy's estate, so he can carry out Jimmie's last request. Meanwhile the county of Los Angles has had claim to the dead boy's heritage, on the ground that he was given medical attention for three years as a pauper, and so owed his money to the county, for medical services and hospital fees. The case will be tried in Judge Stonekirk count June 17th. When this case comes up June 17th, the author of this column is asking a half dozen or more of the club women to join her in a request which she proposes to make to Judge Stevens and the County of Los Angeles to the effect that little Jimmie's last request be granted. Surely our County is not so impoverished for funds that it needs to deprive this little dead boy of his last wish and desire. Now, listen, Honey!

The day towards which every youth in high school and college looks with eager expectation. Graduation he day which makes the passing of youth's first milestone; the day on which the flower of our race eaves the class from behind and launches into the great battle of Lifefor which the school days have been but preparation.

That is the big problem which aces this vast multitude of hopeful, optimistic young people, the future leaders of our race. GRADUATION is the most glorious day. Let's keep them hopeful.

He was a member of the Sons and Daughters of Honor and a Mason in good standing. The U. N. I. A. held a splendid meeting Sunday afternoon at the C. M. E. Church. Mr. and Mrs. James on Pace St. in Central Avenue Gardens are doing a splendid Grocery business. THE RECEPTION Love, honor and respect was the entire theme of the elaborate affair, last Friday evening. At 8:45 the spacious auditorium of First Baptist was well filled with eager, expectant, joyous listeners. The Junior Choir under the direction of Mrs. J. Luke, opened the program with a number of peppy selections. Mrs. E. Leonard then welcomed Rev. Hines in her own gracious way. Words of welcame and appreciation were expressed at various intervals during the program. These appreciations coming from the heads of each department were sincere and beautiful. The far-reaching influence of the pastor brought talented people from over the city. Mr. Robert coffeld, a silver toned tenor, sang him effectively "My task." Mr. B. E. Hins one of the best poets of this modern day, recited two of his practical readings, "A Man," and "You can't Keep a Good Man Down." They were received very well, indeed. One of our coming pianists, Miss M. Luke, under an instru- mental number. She mastered the selection. Mrs. C. D. Robinson at this time offered words of greeting from the Womanhood of Southern California. With her pleasant smile and well prepared expressions he hearers were made to listen attentively to her well chosen words. A solo was rendered by Mrs. Rosetta Barnum, pupil of The Brooks Conservatory. Mme. Ethel Brooks held the audience completely spell-bound with her violin solo "Perpetual Motiqt." Her skill and talent was marvelous. Next, the ladies quartette of our own church very beautifully rendered "The Sea Hath its Pearls." The encore numbers were "You must come in at the door" and "Hand Me Down." Two encores naturally speak for themselves. Mr. James Palmer completed the musical part of the program with a pleasing, melodic, violin solo. THE NEW YORK TIMES REV. A. T. HINES Rev. Hines then very briefly remarked about the program and urged everyone to remain for the refreshments. About 11 o'clock the entire audience retired to the dining hall. This room had been transformed into a place of rare beauty. The soft light from the floor lamps cast fantastic shadows about the room. The rosy hue enhanced the atmosphere until even our voices were prone to be subdued. The snowy linen on the tables made the silver and glassware glitter with polished brilliance. A beautiful rub lent charm to the picture. A sweet toned victrola graced one end of the room. Two silk tafetta pillows were carelessly but colly placed beside the victrola. A lovely Japanese screen quite cleverly separated the busy activities in the kitchen from this scene of splendor. Over the head of the honored guest a suggestive white bell was hung. Palms, ferns, and flowers were everywhere. Romance seemed to be lurking in every little nook. A most delightful menu was served. It consisted of fruit punch, chicken salad with salina and olives, vanilla and strawberry ice cream, cake and hot coffee. During the repast the ministers toasted, reverenced, lauded, advised, and encouraged Rev. Hines. About 12 o'clock our friends took their reluctant departure declaring the affair the most successful of the season. The beautiful floral decorations were donated by Warren's florist shop, 1919 Central Avenue, WEstmore 3520. For funerals, receptions, weddings etc., just call Warren's. The whole honor is truly due Mrs. D. C. Payne, President of the B. Y. P U. It was through her uniring efforts that the reception was a success. We do sincerely thank and praise her for her expression of loyalty. Rev. Hines was ecstaciously happy. His smile radiated the thrilling and responding out of his heart.

Porter over Wm. G. Bonelli at the polls on last Tuesday is but another demonstra- rea of the will-of the people when aroused upon an issue which affects law and order. Therefore while Mr. Bonelli no doubt is just as much opposed to crime as his victorious opponent, the people caught the impression, from the class that lined up solidly behind Mr. Bonelli, that he would. not do the job in the same manner and in as convincing a way as Mr, Porter and as a consequence Mr. Porter was elected by nigh unto.50,000 ma- jority. if We are firm of the opinion that the people have selected wisely and well and that John C. Porter will make for Los An- geles a real’ Chief Executive who will really and truly serve with credit and distinction all of the people of this great and growing metropolis. | 3 NOW DOWN TO BUSINESS a: With the election out of the way, it now behooves the mem- bers of the vorious groups, especially those.who fly off on the tangent of political effort, to spend just a fair percentage of the zeal and energy contributed to politics and transfer the same in the realm of business. A fair, square and honest effort in business means a thousand fold more certain returns than a gamble in politics. Therefore we strongly advise all along the line—To. arm for a better and bigger business effort than ever before. OTHER FIELDS OF EFFORT ” With the passing of the present municipal campaign, there are many embryo orators who must find other fields of labor, ior it is plainly evident pickings will be scarce for many moons 0 come. : i The Sabbath, once the day of rest, is now fast becoming known as the day of eternal rest. For more people now go t an untimely death on that day,than any other day of the week Mad motoring is responsible for this ghastly change. _ The Sabbath was made for man, to be sure, but not for the exercise to his uttermost folly. Yet as surely as Monday "rolls around we have the gruesome front page news of the dead, the dying and the injured who have'apparently gone mad over Sunday and have paid the price. This is not the full extent of the bad uses to which we are putting the Sabbath day, although they are the most spectacu- lar. Add to this list the jangled nerves of many a good wife, the tired body of many a husband, the unnatural stimulation of many childhen of the families that rise early and start out on a quest of distance. Fast and furious driving is likély to mark such a trip, with many near accidents. The mind, body and soul undergoes al- most every experience and emotion except those of rest and repose and recreation. Then the homeward journey and the sleep of exhaustion or, what is more likely, the sleeplessness of exhausted nerves. = The pendulum swings from; extreme to extreme. The deathlike silence and stupor of the Sabbath of the past is gone ‘and probably gone forever. But the deathly clamor of our Twentieth Century Sabbath'is equally impossible. Wise mot- orists avoid Sunday travel as much as possible, or seek byways and unfrequented places. Or, what is best of all, use the car to take them a relatively short distance to a spot where they may make the most of the day in the rest and recreation of body and spirit which alone justify the Sabbath. There is much promise in the mere fact that the Outdoor Advertising Association is turning its collective thought to the outdoor signboard with the view of saving both it and the land- scape. To save the billboard from banishment from sceneic highways those who own and use the mmust find a way to make them less obnoxious to society and-less injurious to scenery. It is high time that constructive steps were taken to eliminate a condition that still remains an evil. : The situation is not as bad as it was formerly. When out- door advertising came into universal use there was no disposi- tion on the part of those buying and selling this form of adver- ‘tising to pay the slightest bit of attention toward preserving the beauty of the landscape. Signs were erected where they com- manded the most attention, and unfortunately that frequently was where they did the most harm to the scenery, Finally the public began to protest against these ape scars, but the advertisers paid scant heed to them until théy.discovered the offect of their advertising was being killed. ze Legislation; public opiniony public spirited - landowners who refuse to allow poster boards on their property, and a willingness of advertisers to go halfway have combined in re- eent years to correct a,condition which was becoming intoler- able. Signboards aré being reconciled to the landscape by re- ductioy in size, use of natural colors and artistic designs, and @iserei ~n in placing. WHERE OPPORTUNITY BECKONS - = Some people are forever complaining that none of the big or little opportunities come their way. They hear of a neigh- bér who got a real bargain in a used automobile and wonder his chance had not been_theirs. And when a neighbor shows them a bit of furniture or other household article he had picked up for a fraction of its real worth and they again won- der why others are favored over them. Thus they carry on their lamentations and self-sympathy throughout the whole catalog of human wants and possessions. _.. sParadoxical though ‘it seems, these men and women who covet the opportunities offered to and grasped by others could find the secret of the other fellow’s good fortune in the news- paper read by them both. That secret is the classified adver- ;tising columms. It is there that the golden opportunities are offered and found. The “want ad” page is, the mecca for those who have golden opportunities to offer and for those who ‘wisely hunt their ‘acres of diamonds” at home. : If the store with its show windows, glass cases, counters and‘open doors cannot do business without newspaper adver- tisen }, how can the seller and the buyer of the used article to “do business” without advertising?

J. WHEATON | | ft | The Supreme Court has upheld the contention of the Ne gro that he was entitled to use the name and insignia of thi Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine. The sui originated in the State of Texas where the white organizatio1 sought to enjoin the Negroes of that state from using the nam and displaying the insignia of the Shrine. The courts of Texa: found against the Negro organization, but nothing dauntec them, they carried their conténtion to the highest court of tht land and won their verdict. It was a hard and long fight. Wha’ originated as a local affair soon loomed with national signifi cance. Too great praise cannot be given the leaders who fought and won against big odds. The tenacity of purpose exhibited by the men who were led by the indomitable Cesar Blak should set an example for all other fights for right. * * * * * Another impeachment “Dud” and Louisiana solons are be- ing given the “Guffaw” as just one more set of legislators who try to “machine gun character” to satisfy the political venom ot some corporation. Governor Huey Long says that the whole matter was engineered by the oil interests doing business in ihe state and who he deemed it was but just that they bear some of the burden of taxation. The youthful executive rounded up sufficient strength in the senate to cause the proceedings to fall with a dead and sickening sound. Fifteen of the senators (mak- ing it impossible to obtain a two-thirds vote) openly declared their intention of voting against impeachment. * * * * * > The women of the State of California have finally awak- ened to the pernicious effects of the ‘Jail School Bill’ and are petitioning the Governor to veto it. The San Francisco City and County Federation ef women’s clubs went on record against the bill and gave the statement as follows: “This measure,’ the fed- eration says, “in a misguided effort to make the law less severe and more liberal in the handling of unruly children, actually exposes to grave dangers the integrity of the home and the wel- fare of the child because of the sweeping nature of certain of its provisions.” As before stated, we deem the measure per- nicious because it will stigmatize the children who may through some little infraction unfortunately be a victim of its provisions. * * * * a % Col. Theodore Roosevelt, now hunting big game some- where in China will not return until September to take up the duties of Governor of Porto-Rico. There will be few tears and fewer heart pangs when the resignation of Mrs. Willebrandt goes into effect. Some are predicting her appointment to a fed- eral judgeship. May be true, but it is doubtful. The Muscle Shoal legislation is taking such a turn that the President will be compelled to show his hand as to how he stands on Govern- ment Ownership. Senator Norris’ resolution has been favorably received in the senate. Governor Young has signed the bill in- troduced by Assembly Jost, farmer, making it unlawful to des- troy food stuff to maintain price. The bill puts an-end to the practice of dumping surplus food stuff into the bay of San Fran- cisco or the Pacific ocean to boost the price. zoo * * * The cadets of Annapolis Naval Academy have made threats as to what attitude they will assume toward the Negro cadets who have qualified for entrance. According to press releases they intend to make it so unpleasant for them that they will resign before the expiration of the first year. Of course it is hardly worth the while to say that no interference from the Navy Department, need be looked for, Those young ‘Men_will have to look out for|themselves. They have passed the mental test. - That should qualify them for the use of good common sense in meeting all emergencies. They have too pass- ed the physical examination which should qualify them to com- bat any physical emergency, that arises. Those fra plus: cour- age, or to be more explicit “guts” will qualify them to stick the limit through every and any emergency that arises. Let’s hope that they have the qualifications. * * * * * : If ever there was a body of men confronted with a hercul- ean task it is the commission appointed by President Hoover on Law Enforcement and if possible to find a remedy for Amer- ican lawlessness. The investigation will particularly try to find if the increase in crime is the result of the illicit traffic in liquor. Former attorney general of the United States, George W. Wickersham, heads the commission. Newton Baker, form- er secretary of war under the late President Wilson, is one of the members, A numberof men who have received national and international recognition as students of criminology and its results comprise the personnel, There is one woman, Dr. Ada 'L. Comstock, eminent sociologist, and president of ‘Radeliffe college. If the source of the crime stream can be located the | rest should be clear sailing. This is the flood tide of criminal activity. Itis due greatly to the fact that many angles of crime have been overlooked or condoned. For forty or more. years certain sections'of this country have openly flaunted their con- tempt of constituted authority and committeed crimes, openly, which shocked: the civilized) world.

Such happenings as these are always con- fidered as news and we treat them as buch, However, at this time, in the Tush of the campaign, our force prop: pr had no time to investigate and we took on face value the report which turned out to be erroneous and we freely admit was an injustice to the parties mentioned therein, and we are therefore taking this means to correct the same as for as we can and at the same time make due apology for the appearance of the same in’ these col- umns. Mrs, Odella Hightower, her friends and her physicians, state no such oc- currence as an attempt of suicide was mrde, Further, that Mrs, Hightower was ill at the General Hospital trom the effects of getting out too soon at- ter child birth and that was all in feference to any ailment or attempt at suicide. The claim is made by Mrs. High- tower and her mother, Leona Traylor ind we must says substantiated by leading colored citizens of Wilming- ton, Long Beach and San Pedro, that the insinuations contained in the ar- ticle should be reversed and it would then read about rigbt, . At any rate, the management of this publication in view of the fact that it appears that Mrs, Hightower and her smother, Mrs, Traylor have been grieveously wronged by the pubtica- tion of the article on May 24th, will make a special investigation of this case snd publish our findings in a fu- ture issue, In response to an article in-the cur rent issue of the Pacific Defender, en- titled “Stockholders Suit Amended Cites Dr. Somerville with Fraud," Dr Somerville states that the accusations are absolutely false and are printed only for malicious reasons.

A "green-horn," having never been on a train before, that is, not since the period when memory was established; what would be the impressions? How does a person like that see things? This is the story of "Ole Virginia." "Be careful this, be careful that, remember this and don't forget that." What with general instructions, specific details, last minute warnings and first aid cautions, I had become a pitiful creature with fitful heart and shakey nerves. Nights my eyes grew lidless. The pillow was not right for my head, nor could the tossing back and forth from side to side righten it. Through my mind there filtered a thousand un-natural thoughts. Grave monuments lay. Unknown possibilities hunted. The night wore me out and with the coming day, new cares crowded upon me, "I would that it, it were done already" were my thoughts when finally the final day came. Trunks and taggage packed and checked. Ticket in hand. Train in statio. Friends waiting to see us off. Nothing to do but go. With the realization that it—just had to be done! there set in a new reaction. I was seized with a great calm. Confidently I stepped up the narrow steel steps of the big steel train, the security of its construction imparted a steeliness to the very fibre of my nerves. I felt that I could encounter a very real danger and laugh at its existence. All life was a joke if one but knew how to read it. I thought. So I laughed in sheer delight as the noise, fumig engine, tootled its final dismal signal. Toot, too-oot! War Veterans Honor Memory of the Heroic Dead Memorial Day Captain E. L.

BY: CARL ECHOLS I am a link the human chain. I am a link in the chain of human society. And since a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, my ultimate prosperity can be no greater than the prosperity of the combined human links of which I am a part. My life is dependent and interdependent upon the lives of those that make up the human society in which I dwell. If one member suffers, the whole group is bound to feel the effect: wars, epidemics, floods, and high costs of living affect us ALL sooner or later. If the social group rises or falls, the individual members must follow suit. When I see a son or daughter of the human family (regardless of color or caste) straying away, I pride not myself in my more fortunate position of rectitude and security; rather, I become anxious concerning the wayward member, for I know that my life, and all of our lives, are so intricately inter-related that if one errs, the rest are sure to experience the retarding influence of the faltering one. When I meet a talented brother or sister, one whose talents equal or surpass mine, I witness no emotion of jealousy; I fear no loss of prestige. His "thunder" is mine, and mine is his. So there can be no stealth. His ability only helps to swell the vast reservoir of ABILITY, and the greater the whole, the greater the parts will be. I know that "a house divided against itself cannot long stand." I know that a people cannot long endure when half its members is living in fifth and privation while the other half is feasting in luxury and extravagance. I know that a society cannot long exist, half slave and half free. And because all are parts of a suspended whole, and as the parts are, so will the whole. Therefore I welcome every indication of ability shown by my fellowman: "I even seek to discover abilities that might be hiding from view, for in so doing I am elevating the status of the group, and hence my own.

With a voice rich with sweetness and with a clear volume of range the micraphone carried to its listeners the charming melody of "Sing, Smile, Slumber" by Goundo. A thrilled throng of over twenty-five thousand with deafening aplause recalled Mrs. Warren again before the micraphone and again Mrs. Warren with a rare magnetism won their approval in "Deep River." Mrs. Warren has rendered a distinguished service to America's War Heroes and shall enjoy the distinction of being the first one of our group to appear in person in the Los Angeles Coliseum on America's most important occasion.

Feer Employees for Census Bureau Wellington, D. C., May 27 -Te debatehich raged in the Senate last weaver the proposed amendment to the uss bill to include definite provision for the selection through the Clyservice Commission, of all those to be employed in the taking of the Fifth Census, is attracting as madduntention among Race representation as the fate of its joint legislationhe Reaportionment and Census Billi May fear the determined effort of the democrats to change the system andquire civil service examinations of a employees, including the enumerats, field agents, and supervisors, whit is in striking contrast to their polit during the Fourteenth Census, take in the Democratic administration, when Republicans were in a minorl. Reen leaders see in this move a decidenemence to the hopes of colored applants who seek employment and whoel that justice will be done under the proposed system. Machinal equipment is now so much better adapted to the needs of the ureau that it will require less work and fewer operators to get it done. Dring the past two censuses this phas of the work was done most efficiently by a force of several hundred men, the speed and accuracy of the best of the puncing force. These will not welcome news of a plan to employ fewer of them. Dr Emnett J, Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, has been unanimously re-elected to represent the Washington area o nthe National Council f the Y. M. C. A.'s of the United States. The National Council is the governing body of the National Y. M. C. A. amoument and is composed of approximately 450 members elected on the To The Baptists For a long time the condition of the Baptist Church has weighed heavily upon my heart, at times worrying me into a vexed condition. What I have to say will no doubt be looked upon lightly, since it comes from a common, ordinary layman, but it is true, nevertheless, and it may be that someone will see the importance of the situation and start the ball-a-rolling toward a betterment of conditions in our denomination. There are so many bad conditions, conditions connected with it, that it is difficult to know where to begin. First I would say that we preach "Unionism."—"United we stand, divided we fall." I wonder if there ever was a group more divided than this particular one. Take this city for instance. Think of twenty-two Baptist Church organizations. If we would consolidate we would have here good, well-attended churches. Think of the money that is being spent for the maintenance of these different churches, money that could be used in other ways. Church better than by being divided in a manner. This division is bad, not only from a financial point of view, but from a spiritual as well. If two of the smaller churches were combined with the one of which I am a member we could even shout more freely, there would be more of us to make a noise, and we would feel a relief from the financial strain that is about to hone us to death. It seems to me that some of our foremost ministers or leaders, would advance some sort of a plan that would relieve conditions. It can be done, it should be done and it would fashiness. If we ever have to appear before Justice to give an account of deeds done here on earth, I believe that many of our denominational leaders will be unfavorably accredited for the condition of our people brought about by church organizations. This is all for this time. Thank you NELLIE L.

Duncan, former commander, relieved of duty and under indictment, the Eighth Regiment of the Illinois National Guard was led by Leut. Colonel Clinton E. Ruch, (white) in the Decoration Day Parade, held here Thursday. According to the opinion of old timers who have watched with pride the peace and war-time activities of the famous Eighth Regiment, this is the first time in the history of the regiment that it has been commanded by a white officer. From the time that the regiment was authorized by the State of Illinois, as a unit of the State Militia, Negroes have composed the entire personnel. Steel Door Aids Alleged Murderer to Escape Capture Steel Door Aids Alleged Murderer to Escape Capture Chicago, June 5.--A steel door prevented a detective bureau squad from capturing David Burroughs, an alleged murderer, here Wednesday evening. Burroughs was sighted by the squad, walking down Indiana Avenue near 43rd Street. The squad was sighted at the same time by Burroughs and he darted into a doorway at 219 East 43rd street. The officers alighted and pursued him to the second floor, where he was seen to enter an apartment. The first attempt to crash the door revealed that the door was steel. Axes were brought into play and soon the door was opened but Burroughs had made his escape. The attempted capture disclosed that a regular gambling den was being operated in the apartment and seven occupants and the gambling paraphenalia were taken into custody. Mrs. Rosenwald's Will Filed for Probate Mrs. Rosenwald's Will Filed for Probate (By: A. N. P.) Chicago, June 6. The will of the late Mrs. Augusta Nusbaum Rosenwald, wife of Julius Rosenwald, which was filed here W.nesday, contained no charitable bequests, but divided the $1,000,000 estate among the five children. The following statement was contained in the document concerning charity bequests: "I desire to make it clear that I have made no provisions under this, my last will and testament, for charitable bequests nor for bequests to persons outside of my immediate family, for the reason that I have explained to my children my wishes and suggestions in respect to contributions or gifts to institutions and individuals, and I am confident that my children, in due course, in absolute judgment without being liable to any person or persons, will make such gifts and contributions as will carry out my known wishes." The will was executed by Mrs. Rosenwald three days before her death, and Julius Rosenwald and Lessing Rosenwald were named as executors and with Edgar Stern, a son-in-law, trustees.

Have you got your Gingham Dress for the Women's Economic Council Gingham Dance on the 25th? If not, why not? The Absence of Business Fundamentals in Negro Business For over five thousand years, the business men of the world conducted their enterprises on mere tasks work. The mere fact that to know where you are going, where you are at all times, assures sooner arrival in your destination. In the field of science, it has been definitely proven, that one man far in advance exactly what will happen by mixing certain things together; if you know the formula, you can prophey the result, economists have set forth a few rules, to but a man faced the personal problem of making a living, either in conduct of a business for himself someone else, he had to fall back as sheer instinct. It is universally accepted that when Newton made the following assertion in his philosophical discoveries, published by McLaurin in 1748, the key to business success was found. "The establishing of the equality of action and reaction, even in those powers which seem to surpass mechanism and to be more immediately derived from him, seems to be an indicator that those powers, while they derive their efficacy from him, are however in a certain degree, circumscribed and regulated in their form by mechanical principles." It was upon this philosophy, that the world famous Statistician Roger W. Babson has an organization that now goughed in the investment the world from the fact that business is an exact science which deal with facts, formulas and certain results. Business is governed by two laws, comparative statistics and fundamental statistics. The former is necessary to determine the inside condition of the business, such as earnings, indebtedness, financial, etc., the importance of comparative statistics cannot be over estimated, hence business men now spend much money for bookkeepers, accounts, and office assistants to record the necessary data. The successful business man knows that the period of prosperity, decline, depression and improvement, govern the purchasing power of his customers, the price and supply of the material he uses. Yet, this year, I have seen a business man of this city, offer to enter into a contract with a group of men and agree to do business with them for one year at the present price. Fundamental statistics are far more important to the business man than the results reflected by the figures on his own books for fundamental conditions have more to do with his success. The conscientious in fundamentals conditions which business man, offer a remarkable opportunity for profit, provided one can tell what the next change will be. For example, what would have happened had one had exact knowledge of the recent Supreme Court decision, in favor of the railroads? It was moved to write this article because I am somewhat interested. Advice coming from one who cannot write his personal check in at least five figures, or who cannot exhibit a P. HLD, degree, fall on the ears of those attempting a business venture as a tinkling semble. Then we do not live in the present business age, where the comparatively unknown boy, who shows ability, may soon rise to the head of a powerful enterprise. We are still in the family age of doing business, where positions are assigned on the basis of seniority, in social classes, the condition is largely hereditary in Negro business, having prevailed in our churches, schools, fraternal institutions down to this time. Of course, we take it into our business. I know a certain college owned by our group, which at one time had on its faculty two brothers, their wives, a son each and their wives. This fact caused much strife in the Institution that owns the college. The Negro will learn to get out of this practice or he will not survive in this day of specialization. Here follows three essentials to success in anything: When the Negro learns the power of the above three words, he will succeed. Dunn and Bradstreets are cluttered with the names of those that MOB LYNCHES TENNESSEE YOU Alamo, Tenn., June 6—Despite requests of the family of the attack woman, a mob of more than 2, white men and women, stormed to jail here Wednesday night, and led Joe Boxley, a 19-year-old youth accused of attacking a white woman, to a truce nearly and lynched him. Boxley had been saved from the mob earlier in the evening when he was incarcerated at Trenton, Tennessee, in the adjoining county, with occasion, Sheriff Auhrey Bradshaw, with the assistance of some five deputies, braved the wrath of 10,000 angry men and prevented them from taking the prisoner. A few hours later the lad was transferred to Alamo and the mob followed. When they reached Alamo they went to the command of Sheriff Carl Emison demanded the keys to the jail. Emison refused to give them up, declaring that he did not have them. The keys were located under a divan and the lynchers proceeded to the jail for the boy. With a rope about his neck, Boxley pleaded for his life but to no avail, and a few hours later, his body was found suspended from a tree with a placard pinned to it, which read: "To hang here until 4 P. M. Thursday." This sentence, however, was not carried out as the coroner turned the body over to undertakers immediately after he had rendered the verdict, "Killed by unknown parties." Boxley was accused of attacking Mrs. Johnnie James, wife of a Crockett county magistrate. He was captured late Wednesday afternoon by three white men, while a posse numbering more than 500 was searching for him. The husband of the woman and other members of the family urged the citizens to resort to no violence, but to let the law take its course. There Should Be No Discrimination The press of the country is busy commenting and predicting concerning the "delicate situation" which arises as a result of the success of the nominees of Congressman De Priest for Annapolis and West Point. Says the Philadelphia Record, about the intentions of the boys to expose themselves to years of insult: "These two youth have set out on a crusade against deep-rooted human prejudice and passions. It may be gallant. But it is present honeles." The Philadelphia Daily News says: "What is reported as a "delicate situation" is predicted as probable if a Negro enters the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Reports have it that he will be ostracized by the white students . . . . Treatment of a Negro student such as is forecast will be a national disgrace. Negroes are welcome as common sailors; those with ability should be free to earn commissions for higher ranks, and there should be no discrimination at Annapolis or anywhere else." Filipino Get $500.00 For Slap (By: A. N. P.) New York, June 6—Fermin Dantes, a Filipino, was awarded damages of $500 here Tuesday in his suit for $30, 000 against Marcus Loew Realty Corporation, because he had been slapped by one of the white girl ushers in the State Theater. Dantes declared that the girl slapped him when he became envolved in argument with her about changing his seat. thought they knew enough and failed to keep abreast of the times. To that condition may be traced the saying the fools rush in where Angels dare to tread. COLEY V. STAFFORD.

The Black Sport World By ART HAMILTON NEIL CLUSBY COMES BACK The California Thunderbolt comes back to San Bernardino, his first love in the fight game, to fight a main event with an opponent yet unnamed, as we go to press. ONCE ONE OF MOST FEARED IN GAME The Standing NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. St. Louis.....15 5 .750 Memphis.....9 7 .563 At one time during his career Clisby was one of the most feared men in the game, none of the boys on top wanted to be on. But for some reason he was lost some of his formerly held sway over night field. BE EXPLAINED I measure this is not all in it can be explained. For own reason or other the boy does not seem to be him. Any of Neol's supports say just a slump that all fighters go through with during a fight in the game. But then again an equal number of fans say that the Riverside boy is on the fast and slippery road to being washed up, as far as a main event attraction in the big time clubs is concerned. OTHER REASONS OFFERED Then another class of the fight goers say that the defeat Clysty suffered at the hands of Long Tom Hawkins look away all of Nell's pop and ambition to do big and better things in the squared circle. Hawkin's a big six footer and then some, put the skids on the Polt in four pounds in his home town last year, one of the biggest upsets San Berdoo has ever known. CLISBY WAS BIG FAVORITE Before the fight Clisby was a big favorite, and little Hawkine, money was to be had. Reasons a plenty are offered for the overwhelming odds being on Neil. He had fought. Long Tom several times before each had taken him with little or no effort on each occasion, and was looking to do the same that night. But in the fourth round Hawkins unleashed a mighty right hand that he brought from the floor with 230 pounds behind it, and let Clisby have it fush on the lug. It took a good 15 minutes to bring Neil back to the land of the living. In all my short career as a sports writer, I have seen some k. o's, that were k. o's, but that one that Long Tom poured on the California Thunderbolt was the knockout among knockouts, and as the Jewish merchant says, no less. All Sam Berido will watch with interest Neil's try at a comeback. LaBarba and Kid Chocolate Rematched For July BOTH TO FIGHT AT 126 LBS. New York, June 1, 1928 (Special to Calif. Eagle)—Negotiations are under way to secure a return match between Kid Chocolate and Fidel LaBarba here sometime in July. It is rumored that this rumpus will be a 15-rund affair and will be held at the Cliseum. LaBarba's manager, George Blake, said that the return battle will be made at 126 pounds, and all of LaBarba's fights in the future would be confined to the fetterweight division. La Barba will return to Los Angeles following his fight with Tommy Paul at Buffalo on June 7. He is billed to meet Earl Mastro in a return jam there, and then will return to the East for his battle with Chocolate. Dempsey and Godfrey to Fight at Agua Caliente Jack Dempsey and James N. Crofton of Agua Calliente, Mexico, are seriously considering a heavyweight bout featuring Dempsey, at an early date. And although the plans have only been tentatively laid, Dempsey is very enthusiastic concerning the proposition. For the first time in his life, Dempsey has agreed to meet Geo. Godfrey, the giant Negro from Leiperville, Pa., who is rated among the top-notchers in the heavyweight division. Godfrey has licked all the good heavies except Schueling, and since his victory over Uzudun here a short time ago, he is an extra big drawing card on the coost. The details will probably be completed by next week. Leon Rene's Celebrated Orchestra will play the Music for that red hot Gingham Dress Dance at the Seway Ballroom, June 25th.

LUDDELL AND PARTY RETURN WITH FIRST CATCH High up in the Sierras, four well known members of our group were almost trapped in a blinding snow- storm. This all happened when the 1929 Tront season which was opened Thursday, May 30th, sent thousand of anglers scurrying into the mountains to their favorite streams and lakes, seeking the elusive Tront. Among the thousands who follow this ancient sport, were four of our group. The names of the tour, who chose June Lake as their base to cast their reels were: Dr. Lyddell, his wife; Mr. Richard Baker, and Mrs. Roy Thompson, They report exceedingly excellent catches, claiming the fish fairly jump out of the water for your belt. The fishermen relate having been caught in a snowstorm. However, they returned none the worse, laden with Trout. Great sport this red and reel stuff. Like to see more people get into it.

The Britsher, who a week ago, punched his way to a decision over the New Rochelle boy, fought a clover battle and his defense among the best ever displayed here. Flowers, however, fought a good fight, using his same slugging, slashiness mode of attack, but could not find the soot for an effective sleep-maker, though he shook Berg several times. Nelther fighter scored a knockdown, but there were many telling blows struck during this blood-battle. George Godfrey to Try Wrestling Game George Godfrey to Try Wrestling Game Philadelphia, May 30.—George Godfrey, heavyweight boxer, announced Friday he would turn wrestler. Approaching Aurelia Fabriana, Philadelphia wrestling promoter, for a match with either Dick Shikat or Pat Magill, principals in a show here a week from Friday night, Godfrey said he would ask the Pennsylvania state athletic commission for a wrestler's license at the next meeting. Exhibit by Negro Artists Attracts Attention Exhibit by Negro Artists Attracts Attention Thousands of people, representing many of the prominent art patrons, educators, churchmen, social leaders, school children, and art and press critics, both white and colored, visited the exhibit of American Negro Art in the foyer of the National Gallery of Art of the Smithsonian Institute. Only the most invariable comments were heard. The exhibit was held in Washington under the auspices of the Committee on Race Relations of the Washington Federation of Churches, through the efforts of the Reverend Anson Phelps Stokes, Canon of the Washington Cathedral, chairman, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, secretary. It has been arranged in connection with the William E. Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement among Negroes, as an out-growth of the Award in Fine Arts. It is the second year in which art productions of colored men and women have been shown in an effort to acquaint and interest the public more generally in the creative accomplishments in fine arts by Negroes. It is thus hoped not only to encourage the Negro in creative expression of a high order, but to assist him to a more sound and satisfactory economic position in the field of art. To Fly Across Country The "Five Blackbirds," a group of colored aviators, including one woman, are planning a flying trip from Los Angeles, California, across the country.
