1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 Dedicate St Philips Church ON THE SIDEWALK By C. A. B. AMERICANS TRY TO DRAW COLOR LINE IN FRANCE! Dedication Ceremonies Of St. Philip's Episcopal Church Draws Record Crowd Last Sunday was a great day in the annals of church history, when high officials of the church put the finishing touches upon the magnificent edifice which had been turned over to St. Philip's church ready for occupancy. The building presents the last word in church structure with every modern equipment and is indeed a contribution to the people of this section. The decorations are all that could be asked or expected. Huge crowds assembled for the ceremonies, every nook and corner was occupied and people stood outside, upon the steps hoping to gather a glance from time to time of what was going on inside. People came from far and near to be present on this occasion, several ardent members of the faith journeyed from as far north as Oakland and San Francisco. Promptly at 7:40 p. m. the processional was formed headed by the choir of St. Philips church; followed by the Rt. Rev. W. B. Stevens, D. D. L. L. D., Ph. D., bishop of the diocese who conducted the dedicatory services, followed by the Rev. W. T. Cleghorn, B. A., vicar, then followed Father Wallace of Oakland and quite fifteen vicars from other churches. The service with all of its solemnity was beautiful and pleasing to behold accompanied by the sweet strains of musical rhyme as produced by the St Philips choir added immeasurably to the scene. The new and melodious organ poured forth its strains and indeed the dedication was a new day in church circles for Los Angeles. Risk Lives For Dog ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 22.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—That humanitarian and sympathetic spirit, characteristic of our folk, is no greater for man than for beasts. As a demonstration of their tenderheartedness, Oscar Kent and Sam Hutchinson, employees of Bambrick Brothers Construction Company, descended 200 feet down the steep and perilous walls of a quarry in the 5200 block on St. Louis Avenue, Thursday, to rescue a small brown bulldog, trapped during the night in the quarry. The men were attracted by the animal's pitiful groans when they came to work at 7 o'clock. They hooked a wire around the dog's collar, and dragged him up a slippery mud bank from the edge of a 30 foot pool of water. Wigwagging his hobbled tail with grettitude, the animal, with a joyful moan leaped on his rescues. After consuming a beefsteak brak fast the dog is awaiting his owner at the office of the construction company Cleveland Elk Seeks Treasureship CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 24—(By The Assosiated Negro Press.)—That J.

J., June—(By The A. N. P.)

Lynch Man For Sleeping In White Man's House Jacksonville, Fla., June—(By The A. N. P.) Because he persisted in sleeping in the house he was building for a white man, James Moncion, carpenter, was beaten and shot to death here Wednesday night by a mob of thirty or forty white men. Moncion was taken from the house by the white men and beaten severely with sticks and other weapons. He was then ordered to run and when he had gone about ten feet, the mob fired on him, riddling his body with bullets. The body was left lying in the streets where it was found Thursday morning. The usual verdict was reached, "Killed by unknown parties." According to the story here, Moncion was building a house for a white man in a white neighborhood. In order to hurry the job he slept inthe house every night. This aroused the anger of the neighborhood and he was warned not to sleep there again. Wednesday night it was learned that he was in the house again and the mob formed and went for him. Although the members of the mob were unmasked, the sheriff, W. B. Cahoon, has no hopes of identifying any of the lynchers. Mrs. Lillian J. Craw, a resident and teacher in the public schools of Topeka, Kansas, arrived in the city last Saturday where she will spend her vacation and visit her son, Mr. Floyd Covington, the very energetic and much appreciated Executive Secretary of the local Urban League. Mrs. Craw is well known in these parts having lived here for a period of five years during which time her husband, the lat ekev. J. L. Craw, was the pastor of historic 8th and Towne Avenue Church.

Major Sweat, 40, is dead and his wife, Mrs. Ione Sweat, is in jail charged with murder. Mrs. Sweat told officers that she killed her husband when he attempt ed to injure her. According to her ver- sion of the killing, Sweat, who is a stone-mason, had threatened to kill her before he went to work and when he returned he started out to make goo this threat.

Police Quell Battle Of Garveyites Police Quell Battle Of Garveyites (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, June 25.—Several years ago Marcus Garvey, envisioned an African empire with trained armies and the like. Sunday two branches of the army staged an impressive battle with unloaded Springfield rifles and several of the soldiers fell wounded. The battle was caused by the attempt of a group of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to break up a meeting of the parent organization, the Garvey Club at Liberty Hall. The: Universal Negro Improvement Association pulled out of the Garvey Club several months ago and both factions have sought to gain possession of Liberty Hall, and each claims to have paid for the rental of the hall for the month of June. Sunday afternoon the Garvey Club was staging a monster meeting, with uniformed and armed sentries posted throughout the hall. In the midst of the meeting fifty uniformed and armed cohorts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeared on the scene, struck down one of the sentries and the battle was on. The rifles were used as clubs and with telling effect. When the police arrived pandemonium reigned but the sight of the officers armed with loaded pistols cooled the anger of the belligerants who scattered in various directions. The N.A.A.C.P.Asks Lynching Quizz (By The Associated Negro Press) New York City, June 25.—According to an announcement made Saturday by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

The Association urged the enactment of a federal anti-lynching law and federal agency to "conduct a campaign of Americanism, directed to Americans in the field of race relations." The annual meeting of the Association opened in Cleveland this week and will continue through Tuesday, July 2nd.

Parks, who returned home this week, took the occasion to tell his supporters about his colleague from Illinois, Representative Oscar DePriest, and in so doing characterized the Illinois Congressman as "smart Negro, above the average in intelligence."

C., June—(By The A. N. P.) George Wooten and E. N. Parker, two white youths, were found guilty of murder in the second degree and sentenced to ten years in prison in connection with the killing of Nat Potteway, a taxi driver, which occurred on New Year's eve night. Potteway's body was found in his taxi by the o...cers and witnesses testified that the white boys had hired him early in the evening. During the trial, the defendants sought to prove that they were not at the scene of the murder and produced witnesses to testify as to the accuracy of their alibi. The jury, however, put no credence in the testimony and after deliberating about one hour, returned a verdict of guilty. It is reported that others will be arrested in connection with the same murder as soon as sufficient evidence can be secured. Petteway was clubbed to death. Pioneer Citizen Passes On Mr. Simon Williams, pioneer and highly respected citizen who passed away last Sunday was buried Wednesday. The funeral was held from the Second Baptist church of which he had been a member for many years. Hosts of friends turned out to pay their last respects. He leaves a devoted wife, a daughter and many friends who mourn their loss. Mrs. Emma Slaughter and Mrs. L. C. Clark, two very prominent and highly respected citizens of Topeka, Kansas, are in the city spending a vacation. Messrs John Lawson and John Warner, of Topeka, Kansas, are in the city for a few days. They were very pleasant callers at the Eagle, where they met several old friends. Mrs. Hubert L. Clarke, wife of H. L. Clarke of San Francisco, popular secretary of the Elks Lodge, spent the past week visiting friends in Los Angeles, in company with Mrs. W. Coleman and Mrs. Tibbs. They motored down and wire the house guests of Mrs. Jennie Johnson on Glassel street. They returned to their Northern home Wednesday. Mrs. Hallie Wundus and Mrs. L. Shannon of Oakland, arrived in Los Angeles on the 20th inst., in company with Father, Wallace, rector of St. Philip's Episcopal church, Oakland, who came to attend the dedication of the beautiful St. Philip's church that was recently completed and which Father Cleghorn is rector. The party left Thursday for home. It is stated that when Stephen Alexis, Haitian charge d' aires at Antwerp, he was about to enter the Montparnasse ballroom, was told that Americans in attendance objected to the presence of Negroes. THE case has been brought to the attention of Premier Poincare and Foreign Minister Briand. FRANCE has depended upon her Black subjects to play front line roles in all war dramas that threaten her position as one of the leading Nations of the world's civilization. Hence she has not been unmindful of the fact that since these Black subjects have always been loyal to their country and government; they are due proper respect and consideration as any other citizen of France. AMERICANS are pitiful specimens of a bigoted civilization, as they strut over Europe with nothing to their credit but a pocket full of jingling bright coins. Will they ever wake up and realize that creation did not end after they were made? or will it be another case of Dives? IT LOOKS like President Hoover is not going to overlook the Negro entirely. * * * SINCE, taking his seat the new President said less about the Negro question than did his predecessor in the same time of time and that very fact accounts for our hopeful attitude at this length. THIS is our last word concerning the now famous "Tea Party" which was staged at the Nation's Capital instead of Boston Harbor. --- THE PUBLICITY received by Mrs Oscar DePriest, because of the faci that she as wife of a Congressman was one of the White House guests at tea, would cause the average Hollywood Movie celebrity to turn green with envy. BUT colored ladies are even more modest than their white sisters, and no doubt Mrs. DePriest does not welcome this wholesale publicity thrust upon her. ALL the critics including the Blease burlesque on poetry entitled "Nigger in the White House." the phase "Political Nigger Lovers" by Senator T. J. Holbrook in referring to the action of Mrs. Hoover, Maggie Neal, only woman member of the Texas State Senate who introduced a resolution denouncing Mrs. Hoover because she included among her tea guests the wife of Congressman DePriest; different only from the other ladies present in the color of her skin; bespeaks the fact that America, at least in part is still a baby in the advancement of her boasted civilization. WHAT a pity it is that our leading newspapers would headline such petty stuff. STATE Senators and other Congressional representatives elected by the people would dare to use the people's time and taxes to play such petty politics as pass resolutions condemning a President's wife because she saw fit to exercise her rights and privileges as first lady of the land, but calls forth the laugh of Europe and strengthens her belief that about the only thing America has to her credit is wealth. The soil of true culture and educational refinement is yet unscratched. IT IS reported that the Vallejo Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has charged C. H. Toney, head of the Vallejo Institute with operating a school far below the standard of such institutions in sanitation and other educational equipment necessary for the purpose of the functioning of a class institution such as Mr. Toney claims to be running. The Vallejo Institute is maintained by public subscriptions, and accommodates colored youths only. (Turn to Page Six Please) Help Your Neighbor While Helping Yourself Miss S.

BRUNSON THE BAY WINDOW WELL FOLKS it looks like the old Bay window has had the shutters on it for the last two weeks—when all the great things were happening in the Bay District, and elsewhere. We have just been missent, but from now on the said "window" will be open to all the ocean breezes. A little while ago there was a bit of comment on the warm weather—wonder what is being said now? Since we have been in print a great many things have happened. The much acted upon Popularity Contest of the N. A. A. C. P. was brought to a successful close. The drive went sky-high over the top. Some one suggests that Mr. Athur Reese be appointed campaign manager for the next four years—such work of his is not to be overlooked. This time of the year is Commencement for some—that select body that is sent out every year to be educated, into the affairs of the great world moving about them. In business schools, colleges and various assortments of jobs, we find the emancipated youth endeavoring to win success—and every year, more join the already huge throng. It must be remembered—"He will win, who really deserves to win."

The incident in itself has proven one thing, that as the President's wife and first lady of the land she does not approve of the policy of her alma mata, Stanford University, which today bears the Negro from its institution while yesterday it boasted of the honor of having graduated in the early 90's in the department of law, the first Negro youth to receive such honors in the state in the person of the late Ernest Johnson, son of that venerable pioneer, B. A. Johnson of Sacramento. Seemingly were inclined to conclude with our humorous friend, Will Rogers, who sold in substance that it was purely his business whom he invited to his home and he assumed it was Mrs. Hoover's business whom she had as her guest at the White House notwithstanding old Cole Blease's effort to have the incident made part of the Congressional records. Poor old nut, if he had spent as much time in a constructive effort to accomplish things worth while in Congress as he has trying to do the impossible, keep the Negro down by stander, his name might have been embaloned on the pages of immortal history instead of having been forgotten before death shall claim his degenerated living carcus.

Well, his side of the story is that Chicago is the United States. Naturally being a native of California and a resident of Los Angeles, there were some difference in our opinions. However, we met and parted friends after motoring about unable to convince each other the truth of our personal belief. Titus Alexander leaves on the 6th of July for his annual vacation. This year with a party of friends which was planned to include us and our auto. He expects to spend most of the time in the high Serrias catching and eating trout and other game on the one hand and running and flying from mountain lions, bear and wildcats on the other. Our brain was keen to make the trip, but our feet objected on the ground that they were not seeking footraces with the ferocious animals of the wilds. Thanks, Titus, old friend. Sometimes when the risk isn't so great we would be glad to journey with you for instance to Watts, Compton, Frisco or New York to the next Democratic convention.

Earl Broady, who for over 12 years as a mail carrier, delivered mail in his footmobile to our door has deserted the mailbag and picked up a gun. In other words, he's left Uncle Sam and has entered the city department as a policeman, patrolling the same district in which he carried mail for years. Money seems to have brought about the change. Greater risk but more money is the way he annualizes it.

And sure enough he did move and when he stopped moving it took six doctors to keep his white brother's soul from going to hell. It was all right to tell him to get up. It was allright to slap him along side of his head for he felt it not, but when he kicked him on his shins, he may as well have hit him with a stick of dynamite for it it caused an explosion of fists that the man on the receiving end won't soon forget as he motors through life. * * * We learn from a reliable source that Los Angeles is a hostess to a number of Northern visitors from the bay district around San Francisco. Last Sunday was St. John's Day and over three hundred Masons gathered at the Masonic Shrine on 50th street and listened to an electrifying sermon by the Rev. E. E. Lightner and an address by the Grand Master J. H. Wilson. The Masonic craft is rolling toward success and prosperity. --- Lost Sunday St. Phillip's Episcopal church was dedicated to the cause of Christianity. The new imposing edifice was crowded all day. It is the crowning success and achievement of its rector, Father Cleghorn, who for the past fifteen years has toiled and labored to bring this program to pass, many out-of-town folks from San Francisco and elsewhere motored to Los Angeles to be present at the opening services. DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER Seven Million dollars will be turned over to the City Treasurer in the year 1929-30 by the Department of Water and Power for interest and redemption charges on water and power bonds, it is revealed in a report delivered to the Board of Water and Power Commissioners by H. A. Norment. Out of the $7,000,000, water bond man, general manager of the Depart-charges will be reduced $3,581.00. The sum of $3,430,000 will be paid for interest and redemption charges on all power bonds. This money will be paid from earnings. They will not cost a single penny of taxes. "The Department of Water, and Power has paid approximately $6,000,000 this year on water and power," said Mr. Van Norman. "This money is paid directly from earnings of the Department and not from taxes. The Department has maintained this record despite extremely low rates, thus benefiting both the consumers and taxpayers. It is estimated that in the next fiscal year beginning July 1, $7,000,000 will be paid out of earnings for this purpose." Defeat of the power and water bonds June 4 will, of course, prevent many important and necessary expal water and electric systems in the tensions and bettements to the Munich-coming 12 months, Mr. Van Norman said, but for the barest necessities the Department hopes to make an outlay of $6,340,000 from earnings of the Department. Of this sum $2,840,000 will go into needed extensions to the water sys- ditions and improvements to the tem and $3,500,000 for necessary ad-electric system. Calling attention to the great saving enjoyed in the past year by consumers of electricity, through rate reductions made effective by the Department of Water and Power in 1925, General Manager Van Norman indicated that during 1929 these reduced rates meant a saving of approximately $1,200,000.

TRUMPET OF POLAND COMES TO AMERICA The city of Krakow and the silver trumpet which has souped the "hey-nal" from the church tower for hundreds of years has become know to boys and girls of America through the book which this year received the Newbury award as the most distinguished children's book of the year—THE TRUMPETER OF KRAKOW written by Eric P. Kelly. In honor of the author, the City Councillors of Krakow have sent the famouse trumpet which bears the names of forty-five Polish trumpeters to tour the cities of the United States. Every boy and girl who has not yet read the story will want to borrow THE TRUMPETER OF KRAKOW from the library. The great tarnov crystal which sent men into a trance, the alchemist who searched for the secret of making gold, the boy trumpeter who saved his city with the aid of the gentle little Elzbietka—all these are interwoven with skill into a story of power and beauty, against the background of political intrigue of Poland in the 15th century. Other books which have received the Newherry award and which should be familiar to young readers are GAY NECK, the story of a carrier pigeon of India; SMOKY, the tale of an American cow-pony; THE VOYAGES OF DR. DOLITTLE, the story of the kindly doctor who knew more about animals than about people, and TALES FROM SILVER LANDS. All of these books can be found at the Helen Hunt Jackson Library. AN OPEN LETTER National Training Seminary, Lincoln Heights Washington, D. C. June 13, 1929 My dear Mrs. Edwards: It is in the good old summer time now and most of the girls have gone home. It is quite nice up here. I came in the middle of the term and had to get acquainted with the place but next term I'm going to do my very best. It will be my senior year. Miss Burroughs is having an annual up here for the first time. I have my picture in it several times. I shall tell you something very interesting. Miss Burroughs put me in her play called "When Truth Gets a Hearing." Last week the play went to Richmond, Va. We played in the Richmond City Auditorium, which is equivalent to the Philharmonic. The people went wild over the play. On the 16th of May the cast is going to present the play in Philadelphia and next in New York. So you see I am getting quite a bit of travel free. Isn't that nice? I am enclosing a program from the play in Richmond. Tell all the ladies hello and that I'm doing my best to have arrived so late in the term. Friday night we are having guests and I'm going to sing in Spanish. We went to the Smithsonian Institute a few days ago and saw a wonderful exhibition of Negro art. Mrs. Bethune was here Sunday. She was a friend of my father. I did not think she would remember me but she did. She told me to study hard and do my best, which I certainly did. I shall come home next June bringing a diploma. How is your family? I hope every one is well. Give my regards How is your family? I hope every one is well. Give my regards to everybody Lovingly. E ST.

We send this forth to explain to the public and to correct an error made in a public meeting of the St. Paul Baptist church on last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock services by the Educational Missionary, in her attempt to brow-beat the members of St. Paul for the termination of the services of Rev. W. F. Botts as pastor. The church was charged with murder, in that it had killed Dr. Botts—put him out after having served some forty years in the ministry, and that the St. Paul church should keep him. Now comes the undersigned who depose and says that: First—The Educational Missionary is not a contributor to the St. Paul church and know of none of the workings of sald church. She knows not how the bills are paid or how they come. She made charges that were unfounded. Dr. Botts came to St. Paul some eighteen months ago at an expense of more than $1,100.00 to the church—which obligations were assumed by the Trustee Board. Our financial condition became appalling. The church debt was in worse condition than ever. We are subject to expulsion this date. Finding that he could not carry the church to success or enable us thru his leadership to meet our obligations, he resigned, to take effect June 23rd, 1929.

If You Fail To Read---THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE---You May Never Know It Happened SOUTHERN SENATOR SAME SENATOR GROSS If that boy Wier had had the sight of a Bald Eagle, he would more than likely have been rejected for "flat feet." That would have been too bad. He could not have walked the deck in a rough sea. Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION PATRIOTIC EASE Miss Florida Peck-a-wood; Miss Georgia Redclay; Miss Texas Cottonmuth, and Mr. Blease, who rattles around in the shoes once worn by the statesmen of South Carolina, and misrepresents that State in the Senate of the United States; those and a few kindred are raving with the manical fury of inoculated colorphobist because the refined wife of Congressman DePriest was a guest with a number of Congressmen's wives at a reception for the wives of Congressmen held by the wife of the President of the United States, Mrs. Herbert Hoover. The resolutions offered by the coterie is ludicrous. That of the South Carolina Senator, assinine. It contained a lot of doggrel that aroused the indignation of the sedate body and was so bitterly assailed by Senators.Edge and Bingham that he, shamefacedly withdrew it. It would not be amiss, and we are sure that nine out of every ten Negroes in the country would support it, if the government would appropriate a couple of million dollars for the education of Southern adults in the little niceties of polite society. There are those who are inclined to think that Americans take their national like their own birthdays as a matter of course, that the anniversaries lose their patriotic flavor and that reduced to its lowest common denominator, the Fourth of July will be for most persons a day on which they will not have to work—a day on which to "lay-off" and devote themselves to ease and recreation. If that should be true universally and literally, it would be unfortunate, but if it is only partly so, then perhaps the situation is not so bad after all, because in truth Independence Day does stand for a little of that sort of thing,—relief from the daily grind or the royal grind that the "mother of the colonies" imposed on her children. On June 21st the President issued a proclamation declaring the Swing-Johnson Act, "Boulder Dam" in effect. That means the commencement of preparations for the big job. It is hard to vision the good that will accrue to the sections which the great reservoir will serve. The lands now arid that will help fill the granaries of the world. Power from the turbines will cause new projects in industry, and habitable homes erected where now are sand swept wastes. Our representatives from California, assisted by statesmen of vision, fought valiantly for its consumption. But should there be any one singled out for special praise and commendation it must be given the doughty Senator Hiram Johnson. 'To think of Boulder Dam without a mention of the Senator would be like listening to an ensemble of string instruments without the violin. The President also signed the reapportionment bill which will be effective after the census of April 1, 1930. No other nation in history was born as our was born; no other nation was dedicated to quite the ideals to which our is dedicated; and no other nation is following quite the path that ours is following. Unwittingly, our forefathers did more than declare political independence on that hot July day in 1776. Without realizing it, they declared the independence of their descendants from other things—from poverty, from war, from ignorance, from unremitting toil, from blindness of mind and spirit. To such a goal, slowly and painfully but none the less surely, we are making our way. We are richer than any other people; we have more leisure, more time for recreation and enjoyment; and dimly we are beginning to realize that this is making it possible for us to bred better, happier, stronger men than other people. Hapiness—perhaps there, after all, is the one word that expresses our goal: Happiness that comes through release from material cares, through release from fear—fear of foreign aggression, fear of domestic discorn or fear of poevrty—happiness that comes from perfect freeedom and perfect self-command. Congressman DePriest commenting on the "social equality" aspect of his wife's attendance at the White House tea, said: "It's all a lot of moonshine. My wife was invited not because she was white or black, Republican or Democrat. She was invited because she happened to be the wife of a man who is a member of Congerss." He added that Southern Democrats were trying to help themselves politically in these Southern States that voted against Al. Smith. "The political effect will be to drive all colored votes back into the Republican party," he said. The son of Senator Heflin, Alabama, was arrested and charged with driving an automobile under the influence of narcotics, it is alleged. "I drank about a pint of grain alcohol mixed with two parts ginger ale at a party with some boys and girls in an apartment yesterday and that is all that was wrong with me when I ran into a truck," he said. Papar Heflin is said to blame the downfall of his progeny to his mortal enemies, "the Catholics!" We have not reached this goal yet. Not by many, many years of struggle. But we are heading toward it. It is in front of us—shining a beautiful, drawing us on forever. And so, we repeat, the average American is wiser than he knows when he makes Independence Day a day of recreation and rest. His action symbolizes the freedom and leisure that the American, more than anyone else, enjoys. In the interests of good health someone has likened the body to a checking account in the bank. The checking account will continue growing as long as the deposits exceed the withdrawals. Neglect to make regular deposits and the account is soon overdrawn. Drawing checks before making deposits to cover them is bad banking, and neither banker nor depositor feels at ease when withdrawals keep too close step with the deposits. While not coming up to his standard as a piece of constructive legislation, the Governor signed the 24-hour school bill, better known under the sobriquet of "Jail School" sponsored by Assemblywoman Eleanor Miller. There has been state-wide opposition to the measure and its benificiary effects questioned by numbers of the educators. It was bitterly opposed by Senator Roy Fellom, advocate for the abolishment of capital punishment, but was advocated by the state convention of the parent teachers association. A close study of the measure will reveal its many foibles and faults. Many were surprised at the bill receiving the favor of the Executive. Referendum can be signed before the 14th of August. Otherwise the measure will become a law. There were more than 800 bills signed and will become statutes on the legal limit, August 14 unless otherwise specified. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON Heroism! and heroism: When Charles Lindbergh made the memorable trip to Paris by way of the air, he would not endanger the life of a little kitten which was given him as a mascot. A youngster stole a march on the officers and crew of the German Zep and made a free trip to Europe. He was given some publicity and feted in Germany. There were no lives endangered. The exploit is forgot by the majority of the people. Three courageous young Frenchmen risked their lives to fly from the United States across the Atlantic ocean to France. They had timed the flight with mathematical precision. Every gallon of gasoline was to carry so many hundred pounds for a certain distance and period of time. A foolhardy youth stowed himself in the Plane and added his weight. Result: They barely made it across the ocean and had to land some hundred of miles from their destination on foreign soil. If that youth expected an ovation he was sadly disappointed. The French were courteous, but nothing short of biting criticism awaits his return home. He will not be met with a brass band. The Negro folk songs, or "Spirituals" have struck the music world and captivated the general public. Music critics differ as to the reason. Some attribute it to minor cadence which grips the soul and tightens heart chords until they play in unison. Others say that it is the rhythm of the melody which steals on the senses and forms a subconsciousness which lingers. Whatever it may be, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "My Lord What a Morning" have a catching something which is hard to define. We listened to a choral society, not clored, practicing some numbers, Spirituals, they were giving them a place on a programme to be sung. There is to be a contest between two choral societies, colored, Oakland and San Francisco. One is to sing classical music (whatever that is) and the other Negro Spirituals. The audience is to decide which they like the best. When correctly interpreted there is no more dignified music than than which has eminated from the heart. Soul longings of despair and hope. They have found their place in the music of America and will live with the ages. It is to be hoped that they will not be spoiled by too much arrangement, but will hold that simplicity which is their charm, and is art. Associated Press carried the news that Charles E. Weir, cadet appointee of Congressman Oscar DePriest, Illinois, to the Naval Academy, Annapolis, failed to pass his physicial examination. Defective vision: Mentally; Two good arms and hands; Two good legs and feet, but he could not see well enuf to see a fly speck an a black card board a mile distant. Why if Wier could have seen through to China and made a miscount in the number of Chinamen; Defective vision: Do you remember the case of the young Negro who walked forty miles to volunteer for service in the World War and was rejected for "flat feet?" They were trying to keep Negroes from enlisting then. The Naval Academy is a close corporation of "snobs" and although it is supported by the tax payers of the government of the United States takes upon itself the authority to name who shall be the beneficiaries of the educational advantages offered Boy Scout Troops (non-white) of Pennsylvania, have withdrawn from the National Scout movement. After long deliberations concerning the practical application of the Scout ideals it was found utterly impossible that the Troops could continue to remain a part of the movement and retain the self-respect of Americans. The question was over the recreational camps the movement provides and which are supposed to be used in the endeavor to accentuate the principles of good citizenship. But it appears that the recreational directors of Pennsylvania have an agreement among themselves to segregate all activities where there is any possibility of racial contacts. To say the least, this is a subversion of the very principles for which the Boy Scouts were organized. To deny the right of contact in the cause of raising the standard of citizenship is an annulment of the laws which govern Scout activities. It was only after a series of conferences that the officers of the troops, seeing the impossibility of coming to any understanding which would meet the, impossible, demands of the other side involved, and realizing that any surrender would jeopardize the standard of citizenship which they were seeking to inculcate in the boys under their charge, they withdrew from membership; turned in their charters and came to the conclusion that, good citizenship cannot be taught under the banners of intolerance and arrogance. You cannot make muft headway in this question of political leadership by forcing a leadership or by organizing for commercial purposes. The only way leadership will eventually be established, is by unselfish devotion for the interests of all the people, leaving outside the consideration of dollars and cents. * * * * And now we note, here comes Governor C. C. Young who has outdone both his predecessors, Governor Stevens and Governor Richardson, in his disregard as to political recognition for the colored voters. This man will be here Sunday, he will speak at the bowl. We wonder if they will fall for him and rave about him as they they did last year on the occasion of the big N. A. A. C. P. meeting at the Shrine Auditorium? Yes the N. A. A. C. P. headed by Dr. H. C. Hudson gave him a break last year and the people fell for him. Even so we are here to tell you he has fully demonstrated that he has nothing, absolutely nothing for you to do. The black vote of California and especially of Los Angeles, voted against Richardson because of the fact that he had failed to give them a square deal by way of political recognition, and made possible the nomination of Governor Young. Richardson did put John Taylor and Alberga in a bootluck concession in the Ferry Building at San Francisco and Young' put Taylor out. If you "can't pay Don't Play" should be the slogan for the political hustlers who got gipped in the last campaign as well as the preceding. We are now looking into the situation of a new city administration and waiting to see who will bring in the sheaves. Yes go right ahead and organize, you cannot make any error when any movement goes forth to get the people to think in terms of organization. We note several political organization meetings scheduled for this week. Let the good work go on. In the meantime let us hope our campaign committees henceforth will look out for spies in their camps and treat them as they treat spies in the time of war. * * * Nobody claimed that Titus Alex-ander is in politics. He could not be so engaged as he holds down a civil service job. We say this in answer to a query. * * * JohnnyJohnson has returned from a very restful vacation after sojourning in the mountains for the past few weeks. * * * The boys are all returning from their trip up Salt Creek and will attempt a come back at the primaries for 1930. We are marking time and waiting for the appointment which has been definitely promised by District Attorney Buron Fitts of a Deputy District Attorney. We are informed that City Attorney Elect Werner will name a lawyer of our group as one of the assistants in the office of City Attorney. Y. M. C. A. BOYS' HONOR DAY About two hundred boys and their parents are expected to participate in the Second Annual Boys' Honor Day of the 28th Street Y. M. C. A. on Sunday, June 30th at 2 P. M. This is one of the gala days in the life of the boys of the 28th Street Branch. At this time all boys who have won honors and recognition during the year will be awarded emblems symbolic of the same. At the meeting last year, Dr. Bruce Baxter of U. S. C. delivered the main address. This year, Edgar Johnson, the first president of the local Hi-Y Club ten years ago and at present a Superintendent of the Golden State Insurance Co., and Bernard Jefferson, student of U. C. L. A. and recent winner of the Political Science Scholarship of that University, will be the main speakers. THE "LAW" BEAT THE MEDICS IN EXCITING GAME. Making use of the usual, though in this case excuseable "if." there was only that little word which kept the Doctors revamped base ball club from performing a major operation of the L. A. Police Department last Saturday at White Sox park. And now that the "tumult and the shouting" has died and both sides are joyfully singing, "Wasn't That a Mighty Day" in spite of still sore backs and sprained shin-lenses, all agree that the swatters of germs would have beaten the swatters of bandits if they had placed their second pitcher in first. Instead the blue coats carried them to the "hoose-gow" the second time in a month with a score of 22 to 15. CHIEF DAVIS AND CAPTAIN HAGER START The center of all eyes at the start of the game was the middle box where Chief of Police Davis sat, graciously showing his appreciation of the colored citizens, by taking part in a benefit for one of their most cherished institutions, the Dunbar Hospital. Announced by Joe Piprone that he would pitch while Capt. Hager of Newton Station would try to "catch" the opening ball. He pitched it all right, and Capt. Hager really caught it and the game was on. Windson started on the mound for the Medicies, Towns for the "Law," with Capt. Kimbrough, and Warner behind the bat, and Lonnie. Goodwin umpire while Chief Davis and Capt. Hager rejoined the other police officials in their box to watch the game. "The 'Law' smashed out eight runs in the first inning, but the Docs changed pitchers in the second and held them close from then on. They out-hit the police for the rest of the game, but the lead was too great. A fair sized enthusiastic crowd saw the game and a nice sum was raised for the installation of free beds in the Dunbar Hospital. "Big Six" and his red hot Big Leaguers of jazz harmonized thrillingly all during the fireworks. Side lights of the game were the many distinguished visitors present, among them Dr. West, National President of the Medical Men's Association and a number of delegates. Editor J. B. Bass, Assemblyman Roberts, Lieut McDuff representing in a black and white French costume, and many ladies in bright spring dresses their smiles and cheerful laughter adding to the sunshine. Below is the original lineup and box score but with events transpiring with such exciting rapidity it was impossible for the three score keepers to keep accurate tab. Dr. Weaver was efficient charge D' affairs for the Compounders of Pills, while Lil Artha McClanahan, Capt. Kimbrough, "Every Tub" Sheffield and others formed the large committee of the "Move On" board of directors. FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1929 BY: DR. RUTH J. TEMPLE Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all queries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 321n St., Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.] AN APPRECIATIVE PUBLIC It is very, very gratifying to me to notice the growing interest that all groups are taking in Health Education. Whereas several years ago we had to beg and coax persons to receive Health Instruction, there is now a spontaneous response to medical teachings that is most heartening to those who are working to this end. I was present at a dinner at the Women's Athletic club last Thursday night at which an announcement was that one endowment of $35,000 and another endowment of $150,000 had been made to promote Health Education. This of course was from the other race. Thus far we have not gotten to the place when we as a race, will put thousands, hundreds or even fives and tens into Health Education, but, nevertheless we have made wonderful strides in our appreciation of the value and necessity of the same during the past few years. It takes money to promote Health Education and Development, and the white race has learned this, therefore they give their thousands and 150 thousands freely and gladly. I trust that soon our own race will begin to open their pocket books and give in proportion "as the Lord has prospered them." But interest must precede giving. Therefore those of us who, as physicians and dentists and Health Educators have pioneerer this work, are sincerely gratified for the tokens of interest shown by the public at large and more especially by the interest which has lead to sacrifice in a group of our foremost men and wo- PLAIN FACTS GREATLY TREASURED It was gratifying to me last Sunday after addressing a very splendid and intelligent audience in Pasadena, to have one woman after another say to me, Dr. Temple, I have read your articles in the California Eagle, and I have received so much help from them. I have learned valuable things from Plain Facts. I surely appreciate the articles." Another said. "I consider the facts given in the Health column in the Eagle each week as price less treasurer, and I encourage all young people especially to read them." "Personally I believe that such articles as 'Plain Facts' in the Eagle, 'Health Education' in the New Age, and 'Healthy Topics' in the Defender, have done much to awaken in the hearts of the members of our race, a health conscience as it were. And I believe that as we continue to work and instruct, that in a greater and larger way the people of our race will be leao to realize that Health is an essential to happiness, prosperity and progress in any line or in any field. No one who has a goal or a definite aim in this life can afford to disregard Health. Health means more than money and more than superior genius. It means power to work and this after all, is the one factor required to bring larger ohings to pass in this old world of ours. ON THE SIDE WALK (Concluded from Page One) It is also alleged that the Vallejo authorities had ordered Mr. Toney to release all minor children by June 15, 1929. As to the authenticity of the allegations herein stated we do not know, but we do know that California has one of the best educational systems in the United States and every child and adult for that matter may drink as deeply from the cup of knowledge as they will without any special educational assessment. Hence if we are to have any special class training school we want it to compare favorably in every way with the other private institutions of our state. And that's that. ANGIERS RETURN WITH 'LIMIT CATCHES FROM MARINA DAM. The experienced anglers always know where they lite most. Witnesses, Roy Tompkins, Rich Baker and Johnnie Johnson. This tril returned from a two days fishing trip up in Morina Dam. This dam is located about 25 miles up in the mountains THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Carry me back to Ole Virginia; Dah's whath de cotton, corn and sugar cane does grow; Dah's whath de birds warble sweetly in de Springtime. Dah's whath dis old darkey's heart does long to go— SAN FRANCISCO Dinky little cars climbing around MRS. IDELL BATEMAN over those high San Francisco hills, I laughed out loud and then smuggled it so the natives would not become of fended. Why those cars seemed as old as San Francisco itself. Then those quaint ones with the pulleys for the steepest hills, two motormen, one at each end of the car, each one working strenuously putting on brakes and releasing them to keep the car under control. It was as much fun as riding on the dinky little railroad at Venice. I felt like a child in my glee over it. A friendly grasp of the hand in a strange place. How delightful that is, ask one who knows. There she was, a dear friend of a friend of mine, only I was too glad to claim her wholly my friend. She took it upon herself to show us a little of the town, that is as much as we could see in about four hours. Golden. Gate Park, the Aquarium, the Hot House, Chinatown, but first a little of Chinatown. Everyone knows that San Francisco coasts of the largest Chinatown in America. It is little China. Could one behold all of it with its massive commercial buildings, its beautiful stores displaying all the Chinese Arts, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Markets, Fish markets, Poultry Markets, Shoe Stores, Clothing Stores, Hotels, Apartments and whatnots, one would think big China. In the section under our observation, we did not come in contact with the hop smoking, heavy lidded, droopy eyed Chinaman common to some of the dimly lighted partions of the Chinatown of Los Angeles. Indeed the Chinatown of San Francisco is the most prominent down-down streets. One would hardly recognize that they were in China town were it not for the picturesque drooping of the curved entended wings from the poets characteristic of Chinese architecture Magnificent at day but we were told that it is glorified by night with millions of lights in varied-colored Chinese pattern effects. Hats off to the Chinaman of San Francisco. Golden Gate Park! Why that is a whole days trip in itself to go thru this immense wooded, be-shrubbed and flower be-decked place, dedicated to the pleasure of its citizens by the City of San Francisco. To see the aquarium, to study the different Vase, to life offered there, brought from all parts of the world, one could spend several days pleasurably. Scanning through the tiny squirrel wrigley sea shores that rear their heads proudly even as the high-spirited race horse, were there, posing among the sea ferns. The telescope fish, their punched out eyes with a light in them not unlike that in the lens of a micro or telescope. There were many odd forms that would give one goosefish to name and describe them but the ones that caused me to fear them were the butterfly fish, imported from the islands of the sea, noted for colorful sea Life. The Hawaiian islands particularly the islands of Samoa. Every Color under the rainbow was represented in some of those little creatures not over five and six inches in length. Did they know that they were beautiful?—And How! Some of them could give some of the Shephas of the Avenue lessons in "struffing their grunt". Twirting turning revolving gracefully under your eyes with their eyes set in yours lastly dreamily they would blink theirs as they noted yours growing wide and wild and then call me! Oh my! I fall completely for them and I grew cared much for fish, either big or little before. THE RAIN MAKERS. By Mary Roberta Collidge. A fascinating account of the Indings of Arizona and New Mexico. The author takes up the history of each of the deserts tribes and tells of their arts and industries, their myths and legends, and their social customs. She has a very real and intimate knowledge of her subject, and writes with sympathetic understanding. OLD BUDDHA. By Princess Der Ling. The Biography of the wonderful old Empress Dowager of China, who ruled with an iron hand for fifty years. The author was a lady-in-waiting at the Empress' court, so she can speak with authority. She pictures for readers the courts and palaces of the Forbibben City and draws the people who tenanted them in life-like colors. Her account of the Boxerer upraising is particularly vivid. ON THE BOTTOM. By Commander Edward Ellisberg. A straightforward and interesting account of the rasing of the submarine S-51. The atmosphere of the book is full of quiet heroism and steady courage; one feels that the pages are summed up in the author's closing words: "To the nation we brought back a story of victory over the sea, wrought by the quiet courage of men who could face death in solitude, disregard failure, and still fight on till they had wrested from the ocean the tomb of their shipmates." WEST-RUNNING BROOK. By Robert Frost. A group of beautiful poems from the pen of a typically New England poet. Whether he writes of rain in winter or dust in the sunlight, Mr. Frost always reveals his essential kinship with Nature and his love for her manifestations. $127,000 OF THIS AMOUNT FOR NEW GYMNASIUM & AUDITORIUM CHEYNEY, Pa., June 21.—(By The Associated Negro Press).—In a accordance with information received from the State Department of Public Instruction at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Dr. Leslie Pinckney Hill announces that $353,068 has been appropriated to the Cheyney Training School for Teachers' for the current biennium 1929-1931. Of this amount $125,090 is to beasseed new buildings which will be housed in equipped gymnasium and a spacious auditorium. The construction of this new building will begin very soon. It will be located on the south side of the campus between Burleigh and Carnegie Halls, and will be constructed of gray stone. The architecture will be in keeping with the other buildings of stone on the campus surrounding the quadrangle. Wins $5 Wager; Loses $25 ATLANTIC, CITY, N. J., June 23—(By The Associated Negr Press)—Thomas Knight, Brooklyn, won a $25 bet by jumping off the end of the jetty, near the Steel pier Friday evening but was obliged to post $25 ball on a charge of disorderly conduct. When Knight, fully clothed, made his leap into the surf, he attracted an excited crowd to the beach. Thinking that he was attempting suicide, the beach guards rushed out to rescue him and when Knight announced that he was only winning a bet, he was arrested. We are the graduates. Now that we have run the race, now that we have paid the price—what does the future hold in store? We have burned the midnight oil. We have labored in season and out of season. Some of us have weakened at times, almost falling by the wayside. Others have grown strong in the struggle, ending the scholastic career by going "over the top" with flying colors. Some of us have wooed the daily lesson like true lovers; some of us have neglected them, crammed them, and barely "passed" them by the skin of our teeth. We have survived the criticisms of those "who would have done better had they been in our place." Discouragement has more than once invaded our ranks, but we have always triumphed. Privation has often descended on many of us like a veritable flood, but, thanks to Providence we have managed to keep our heads above water. True, to some, school and college have been a mare social center—a place to display stylish clothes and discuss the latest social function, or to plan the "red hot party." But these social climbers do not represent our true standards. Some of us have chased shadows: the desire to shine above our follows, to train klaptause, or to be home have been the chief aim. But such shallow "posers" are only traitors to our cause. The true students have been more concerned with the inner mountain head of education and have drunk long and plenitifully of its lifegiving waters. To the serious student, the Educational Institution is a place of preparation for—Service—for Life! We feel that education has made us more tolerant, humble, and fearless; that it has increased our love for humanity and our interests in the masses; that it has made us less proud, vain, and conceived; less clenish and snobbish. We dedicate our lives to the unselfish service of mankind. Our opportunities have made us apostles of THE NEW AGE, advance guards of the NEW DAY that approaches fast. Opportunity has handed us the Torch, and we pledge to hold it high. Greatest Paper of Germany, The "Tage Blatt", Seeks Scenes Of American Negro Life NEW YORK, N. Y., June 21—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—The "Tage Blatt" of Berlin, Germany, one of the leading desiles of Europe has sent one of its expert photographic artists to America to get scenes of all phases of American life. She was directed to see William Pickens, of New York, for suggestions of scenes from Negro Life—and at his suggestion he was photographed to date. The artist of the New York City Library at work; the 135th Street Library, reading room, childrens story hour, and art exhibit; the Dunbark Apartments; the Y. W. C. A.; some Negro homes, interiors; the Dunbark hospital scenes; school scenes; street scenes, etc. The German artist is Freudlein Kaete Witkower of the Tage Blatt, who has made photographic scenes for her paper in many foreign countries. She was more thrilled by the Negro scenes than by any of the others. She expressed regret that she had not laid out more time for the Negro scenes, and actually gave twice as much time to it as she had allotted. TUSKEEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. June 24—(By The associated Negro Press.) "What The Negro Think" a recent publication by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was reviewed over radio Monday noon from Station WAP1 at Auburn, Ala., by a member of the English department of the Alabama Polytechic Institute located here. The first member of the Negro race to receive an honorary degree was the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute and of the National Negro Business League, who was awarded the Master of Arts degree in 1895, in recognition of his service in the field of education. The degree conferred upon Dr. Moton was an recognition of the service he has rendered in the development of Tuskegee Institute and just how well and capably he has administered the affairs of the institution is clearly shown in the rapid progress he has made under his administration. As principal of Tuskegee Institute, the position to which he was elected in 1916 following the death of the Founder, it has been Dr Moton's effort to keep the Institute well in the forefront of vocational schools of the country. Since his inauguration, the school has steadily grown in number of students and faculty members, in services rendered and in equipment. The endowment fund, which in 1910 amounted to $1,800,000 now totals $3,000,000. More than a million dolars in buildings have also been added to the Institute and courses in education, agriculture, home economics and technical arts have been raised to collegiate rank, the bachelor of science degree being granted in these fields. Dr. Moton, however, has not confined his activities to Tuskegee. He has been active in many movements for the advancement of the Negro and African American communities. He was instrumental in having the Federal Government locate on grounds adjacent to the institute, a Veteran's Hospital a two-end-a-half million dollar plant entirely managed and operated by Negroes. He is a charter member of the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation; member of the National Committee of the Y. M. C. A.; trustee of Hampton, his Alma Mata, and Tuskegee Institute, Fisk University in Nashville, The Philips-Stokes Fund; vice-chairman of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes; and president of the National Negro Business League which covers the majority of Negro business which it conducted in 30 cities of the country. In 1927 Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, appointed Dr. Moton, chairman of the Colored Advisory Commission on Rehabilitation in Mississippi flood area. Dr. Moton has traveled extensively, having made several trips to Europe. In 1986-27 he made a tour around the world, visiting Hewaik, Japan, India, China, Jerusalem, Egypt, and European countries. Dr. Moton's most recent, and rated by some as his most outstanding achievement, is the publication by Doubleday, Doran & Company of his "What the Negro Thinks," a volume setting forth the Negro's reaction to the American situation in which he finds himself. This book has been most favorably received by book reviewers. He has also authored of "Finding a Way Out," an autobiography. Other schools that have conferred honorary degrees upon Dr. Moton include: Oberlin College, Williams College, Virginia University; Wilberforce University, all of which granted him the L. L. D. degrees and Lincoln University the Litt. D. New Orleans, La., June—(By A. N. P.) The (Central Trades and Labor Council has agreed to enact a city manager plan of government for New Orleans. Resolutions adopted by the council denounce any attempt to "centralize the power of government in one man that would carry with it the necessary evils of such centralization of power) The resolution follows: "Whereas there has been submitted to this organization two resolutions by the committee two resolutions by the committee in charge of recommending the City Manager Plan of government, and, whereas, by the adoption of the City Manager Plan of government there is set up a super civil service that places the Negro on the same basis with the whites, which will not permit of his exclusion, and therefore it is the opinion of this organization that many form of government that centralizes and not democratic, and whereas, we, the Central Trades and Labor Council, feel that, by the adoption of said resolution tendered to us, we would be lending ourselves to a form of government which is not truly representat'e of the people." "Be it, therefore, Resolved that we do therefore refuse to adopt said resolution and further denounce any attempt to centralize the power of government into one man that would carry with it the necessary evils of such centralization of power and do further价 this organization on record as against the City Manager Plan of government." MEMBER OF GOVERNOR'S CABIN NET WARNS NEGROES OF CRIMNAL RECORD. Chicago, Ill., June—(By The A. N. P.) Predicting that unless some way was evoked stem the present current, that Negroes would form the chief population of Illinois priscus, Rodney H. Brandon, head of the Department of Public Welfare of the State of Illinois, speaking Before the Progressive Community Center, 48th and Wabash avenue, last Sunday night, urged that greater care and attention be given youthful. Negroes throughout the state but in Chicago particularly. As long as the Negro gets the rough end of employment, the most meager wages, and is forced to live in the most congested and the worst districts in town, just that long may we expect a high percentage of criminality from the group," said Mr. Brandon, who won his high plate in the official family of the state not through politics, but because he is a great humanitarian. He for twenty years has been executive secretary of the Loyal Order of Moose, of which James J. Davis, U. S. Secretary of Labor, is President General, and at Moose-Heart, Illinois, Mr. Brandon conducts what is probably America's most famous home for orphaned children. "Poverty and vicious conditions do more to manufacture criminals and to promote misery and unhappiness than any other cause," he continued. "It is not a matter of race either. Over at the Institute for Juvenile Research there is kept a group of maps dating back for twenty years. Marked in squares they portray every arrest that has fulfilled offenders made during each of those twenty years. The station is easy to see. Some localities are free from any arrests at all. Others are black with them. The worst district, that near which the Tribune Tower and the former home of Mrs. Potter Palmer is located, is twenty-six times more apt to produce criminals than the best district. "Twenty years ago we had a German, wave of population through our prisons, fifteen years ago it was Scandinavian, ten years ago it was Irish. Today the Italian wave is at its height, and the years from today, for all the ages, the population of prisons will be at its height. The results are certain. Whenever we have large numbers of juvenile infliction and arrests, it follows as surely as day does night that later developments will produce criminality, unless environment is improved and some ameliorating steps taken. Too many colored boys and girls are finding their way into the institutions and prisons under the charge of my department." The speaker likened the necessity for welfare work and guidance of the youth who are living in the poverty. strucken black list districts to the need for blood or fire insurance. He proved that in the end it was cheaper to take preventative measures than to suffer the cost and misery which neglect will bring. Three per cent of the children cause all trouble. Mr. Brandon said. "The broken home, where through death or some other loss, the mother is a widow, is the most fruitful source of delinquency." The child wearies of school. There is no one to straighten him out. He starts to idle. There is no one to contact him with a job. He breaks the school contact without a work contact and his downfall is started. "Through these and other causes as the records will show the Negro youth is building up an unenviable record in crime. The preventative measures must be taken by the committees, the citizens themselves. The state is powerless unfortunately until after trouble has occurred. "Where are your fraternals? I am a believer in fraternals. Why not organize in neighborhoods, in your churches, and save these boys? Projected on the proper basis, four dollars per month, every individual community could have protection for a life time. Such a plan has proven feasible. Select a group of boys, picking out those who are orphans or half orphans and follow them through. See that they get a helpful word, are kept in contact with a job, make yourselves responsible for them. Neither a church or an organization could do a more Christian job." "Fortunately, we have good schools here. If anybody grows up in ignorance in Chicago, it's his or her fault. I gathered the figures five years ago Illinois was spending $225 per year on each child. That covered the state in Chicago it is much higher. In Mississippi the average per child was only $20. That is why boys or girl unless someone sees to it that they go to school and are given the helpful, interested guidance of a mother or father. "It's a serious problem, and we need the help of you fathers, mothers, and responsible citizens." As this is written, "Harlem," that colorful drama of a phase of the life which New York Netroes lead, is putting in its last days in Chicago. The play was written by Wallace Thurman, a young beloved man, and in collaboration with William Jourdan Rapp white, it was prepared for the theater. It opened in New York during the winter and had reasonable success, the New York company closing only after repeated misunderstandings between the members of the colored cast who felt they were underpaid, and the producer, Edward Blatt, had grown to such proportions that Blatt threw up his hands in disgust and quit. The early favor with which New York, or Broadway, viewed the production was sufficient to inspire the men behind it to put a second company in training which opened in Detroit and went afterwards to Chicago. This company with Andrew Bishop, Alston Burleigh, and a young lady find, Vivian Barber, was said to have been superior to the original players. It did commendable business at the large Majestic Theater in the Windy City. “Harlem” belongs in the class of plays whose chief attraction has been their approach toward a sort of coarseness that was on the borderline of indecency. It was of the “Diamon Lil”—“Frankie and Johnnie”—“Jarnegan” type. When it reached Chicago, one critic ecstatically wrote that it was so bad that it made “Diamon Lil” look clean which was not merely exaggeration, but untrue. There have been quite a few white productions that were coarser than “Harlem.” One of these, "Frankie and Johnnie", was closed by the Chicago police who apparently were asleep throughout the properous run of "Diamond Lil". Soon after the denizens of the law got on the trail of that show and cut its wind off the protecting arm was reached out after "Harlem", and the producer was informed that he would have to close up shop. The police commissioner reported that he had received numerous objections to the William Foster is out in Los Angeles as an honest-to-government assistant director in colored scenes for Pathe. Many of Foster's Chicago friends are unable to believe that this determined man has kept on trying until he has realized a little on dreams he has weaved for many, many years. Foster has had a long and interesting career which carries him back beyond the days when he was with Peter Jackson in England and later when he and "Jay Gould" were doing first nights in the show houses on Broadway. He came to Chicago, knew the Pekin players and began the production of colored motion pictures when enthusiasm for the Pekin players was at its height. In those days he was one of the closest friends of Flournoy Miller. Foster now carried a diamond-studded watch, a gift from the kindly Flournoy. "BILL," as he is known by most of his friends, got out of pictures and into the newspaper game, so-called. For Some years he wrote sports for the Chicago Defender under the pen name of Juli Jones, Jr. He left the Defender and started a daily paper of his own, with Count Gary of New York. Gary's health forsook him and the paper failed. But Foster did not stop trying. He wanted to make pictures. He had written stories and he wanted to see them on the screen. Heaven only knows how he got to Los Angeles, but he reached there. He himself tells of his efforts to get on the movie lots. Time and time again he went with his story. Most of the times he could not get in. At other times he got in only to be sent out. Sometimes he was played with, at others, ridiculed. It was not until he ran into a Mr. Powell, vice president of Pathe, through the influence of the colored doorman at Pathe's, that he struck a chord of interest. Powell was willing to talk to Foster. He came from Virginia and he had a way of understanding that Foster might have an idea. Foster's stories were read and perused. Conversations were held with lawyers and finally Foster was sent for—to go to work. He could scarcely believe it himself. Nor could the Negroes whom he was to direct. When he gave them orders, they looked at the white men to see if they should do what the Negro director was telling them to do. Powell stuck behind Foster, in spite of criticism from blacks and whites, and now Foster is well in the game. He stuck, and, he won. Louisiana Colleges Merge NEW ORLEANS, La., June 22.—(By The Associated Negro Press.) The much discussed merger of the New Orleans University and Straight College, agreed to be Saturday when the governing boards agreed to the terms and out of the two institutions has grown Dillard University. The plans call for an expenditure of $2,000,000 for new buildings and equipment. Dillard University will be sponsored by the American Missionary Association, the Methodist Episcopal Church and other national Educational foundations. show in letters. The production was later expunged of some of its worst lines and the dancing was toned down to the point where it was permitted to continue, but the dirty work had been done, and it is now preparing to leave. It is interesting to note that the chief complaints against "Harlem" came from Negroes. They did not attend the show in any great numbers, but did plenty of protesting because, as they had heard, the drama was a reflection upon the Negro. One of the principal persons who had to bear the bront of embarrassment, caused by these attacks, was the affable Chappie Gardner, who had a part in the production and acted as one of the publicity representatives. Chappie was empowered to offer all sorts of inducements to get colored patrons out to take the best seats, but they withheld themselves and wrote mean letters. It is reported that Lee Shubert wired from New York that he didn't care, that Negroes could be segregated in his house from now on. Wild Swings There are a lot of promising colored boys in the boxing game in Los Angeles, who are not, getting the breaks they should. And do you know that YOU are largely responsible for this? The matchmakers try to use boys who have a following, so it is up to us to be as loyal to the boys of our race as the Japs, the Mexicans and others, by attending some of the Boxing School in the city. The Main Street Athletic club, one of the best equipped gymnathms on the Coast and where a great number of colored boys train, holdsights every Saturday night. Get the fever and see these fights, they are hot. Show the matchmakers we follow the boys of our race and we will see more of them on cards. Ocean Park is just a nice ride from our city and they hold fights there using from one to three colored boys on their card. Last week they used Melvour Bobo, who is a favorite, Engle Thomas and Bobby Jones - all made a very good showing. Bobby Jones is slated to appear there again this week. Bobby Nelson who is one of the chastest colored lightweights, has made good in all his rights. Coming here from New York as an amateur champion of New York state, Nelson has been signed on the dotted line in the Sampson stables. He is on the same card that Jack Thompson is billed this week in San Francisco. Eagle Thomas stepped out at Ocean Park last Wednesday, and got a draw for his ruble. Neil Cilsby is going great again and is about as good as can be found at his weight. Young Franklin, sometimes known as the "Jungle Beast" is an inglify around for a try at Les Kennedy. Kennedy is a favorite around here and a very clever boxer, but Franklin is one of the toughest kids in the game. If they ever get together it should be some scrap. Willie Henery, that snappy light-heavy, will be under new colors soon, and then, watch him step—he can do it. Kan Wallace is making a big comeback since recovering from a broken hand. He ranks right up in the front row in the 140-lit. class. Little Cecil Pinkard, flyweight, who under the careful eye of "Old Folks" Wilmore is forging rapidly ahead. Ernest Beudy, whoights under the name of Dynamite Jackson, is the most promising heavyweight prospect on the Coast, and during recent weeks has been working as a sparring partner to Ace Hudkins. Jackson has developed a great speed, despite his 200 pounds, sets a pace that is hard for anyone. It looks as if Wirt Ross has a coming champion. GORILLA TO INVADE WEST Gorilla Jones, sensational Negro welterweight, or Akron, Ohio, is reported to be planning a Western trip in the near future. Arrangements are being made to match him with Joe Roche, middleweight champion of the Pacific Coast. Al Mello, the most recent victim of the Gorilla says, "He is the greatest fighter I ever fought, and 'we fought Hudkins, Dundee, Malone and all the best." Jones has been in the fight game only short time. Starting about 3 years ago, he has been winning, but after bout, he has greatest fame last year, when he won great battle over Tommy Freeman, scoring three knockdowns. In a series of brilliant victories over Mello, Grove, Joe Zink, Pal Silvers, Alger and others has fought himself to such a place in the fastic sun that he is now rated as the foremost contender for two world's title, the wetterweight and middleweight crowns. It would not be surprising to see Jack Dempsey hindling Ace Hudkins before long. Ace has always said that he would fight for no one but his brothers—but Bro. Clyde and Art know that Dempsey would be a powerful agent behind them, and they would indulge in their aphrodisiac that Ace will be talked into letting Dempsey direct him to a title. What a red-hot fight Walker and Hudkins would make—Dempsey in one corner and Kearns in the other! JONES DEFEATS McVEY. Boston, June 25—Gorilla Jones, hard battling middleweight, of Akron, O.

Motion Pictures Drama By LAWRENCE F. LAMAR DIXON TOO MUCH FOR MALONE Oakland—George Dixon, the flashy colored middleweight from Portland, stopped Jack Malone of St. Paul in the 14th round at the Woodchuck Parallion. The Tight was called by Reference Eddie White after Malone suffered a cut an inch long on his upper leg. It was a furious battle. Dixon, the harder puncher, took the lead from the start and caught Malone with several rights to the jaw that voked the veteran in the first round. Malone outboxed his younger opponent in the second round, but Dixon came back in the third to drive the veteran around the ring with a barrage of rights to the face. Dixon kept up the attack in the fish and just before the round was ended, drove over a right that split Malone's lip. She's gone Filipino.

Thompson was out in front when the bout ended, his superior punishing and boxing skill winning him all but one of the rounds.

(By The Associated Negro Press) New York—"Hot Chocolates," the touched up edition of the review at Connie's Inn in Harlem, with a book by Salem Titt Whitney and J.

New York—New Leslie's "Black-birds," which opened recently at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, is said to be meeting with tremendous success in the French Capital. Some of the lines of the show are being spoken in French. Los Angeles, Calif.—Speed Webb, who brought his Melody Lads here from Ohio two years ago, has built up an enviable record on the coast and is still going strong. Chuck Snowden, pianist and brother of the famous Caroline Snowden, is in the city reporting good business in the east. Charles Butler, highly valued member of Central Casting Bureau, could not get released for a vacation. Evan when there is no call for colored extras and actors. Mr. Butler is constantly busy with other important office work. **Trader Horn**, now on location in Africa and carrying on in spite of being washed away, will use plenty of extras on return to M. G. M. Studio. Now comes word that not only is Fox Movietone Follies to be an annual production, but that it is to be made in four foreign languages as well. Colored theater-goers are evincing their interest in all colored cast pictures by the way they have been flocking to 'see *Showboat*, "Music Hath Cairns", "Fox Follies", "On With The Show", and "Hearts In Dixie" now on the *Avenue*. A HOME IN TASADENA FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1929 Railroad D Clatter by CHAS. L. UPTON CHAPTER At last, he stood for local charter of the Birthplace of Sleeping Car Porters, has arrived and hags majestically in a handsome frame on the wall of the local headquarters, supervised by George S. Grant, local secretary. The grunting of the charter is one of the results of a four year struggle of the Pullman Porters in their effort to become more strongly united toward a common cause of better working conditions and higher wages. A series of meetings were held this week with a large attendance. But just what took place in these meetings the writer is unable to say, although the smiles on the porter's face have been a pleasant was of a very bright nature. Now the writer happens to know that when a potter smiles, he has generally had his miff greased. Therefore take for granted that the information imparted to those who were admitted within the sacred portals of these meetings, were given to understand that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for the first time was far off, in other words as the old song goes, "There's Just one More River to Cross." MAID TALKS TOO LOUD A Los Angeles Maid after coming across the hot desert on one of the limited trains last week arrived in Los Angeles very much worn out and fatigued. Everyone knows who has been across the desert in the summer that it feels a whole lot hotter than the place where the biggest, majority of us are praying night and day not to go. The effects of the heat has often been known to drive people crazy. Anyhow, to make a long story short; as the maid dragged one foot down after another with great effort she was told by the platform man that she might have to double, the very thoughts of her having to go right back on the desert to go right back on the desert to "Blue Heaven" alive was of course enough to drive anyone crazy, so she erploded with the words that everybody in the upown office was a big bunch of boobs, imagine her embarrassment when she turned around and found Mr. O. W. Snoddy standing beside her. Just another day wasted away. Ta ta. H. O. PHILLIPS HEADS COAST LINE ARGUMENT. My San Francisco operative informs me that the boys who run up in that weck of the woods, have been having some very interesting debates on the right to put the Sunset Limited up for bid in order that each porter can bid in his own individual car as on the Lark, therefore eliminating running around. It seems as near as I have been able to understand that the sole purpose is for the older men operating on this line to duck the through cars which happen to be thicker than men's teeth on the Sunset since the change went into effect on the 9th of June, apparently the old timers have figured it all out for themselves without taking the younger men into consideration. And if they are successful with their plan, they will starve the young men out. The Cletter has always championed the younger porter's cause, as he was young himself once, and feels that this net would be a grave injustice, and work a hardship on the young porter. He therefore advises them to not go to sleep on the job, and get busy with some concrete facts as to why this change should not be made, so that in event that a grievance is made of it you will have something to fight it. I have been informed that the big argument comes up for settlement on the 27th, If You Fall To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened and hope it will be possible for me to be there. Right for your rights. PULLMAN PILLOW SLIPS One of my secret service agents informed me that Davis Rosemond tried a "peek" jaw, and was summoned to see the Big Boy up town. Naturally Mr. Rosemond stopped along the road for refreshments before he went up, and when he hit the office the aroma was resilient. He could not resist to the Big Boy he reached in his desk drawer and pulled out his mouthorgan and played that little ballad, "Bye, Bye, Blackbird. Oh! Yes! Central avenue. I used to think that E. W. Brackett was harmless, and never do any body harm, but I guess I will never be able to tell that kind of a tale to my friend, W. H. Walker, since Brackett bumped him off of the Padre. May be Brackett was sore over the sign on the back of Mr. Walker's Auburn, which reads, "This Auburn fully equipped, $1998.00." "Oh! Where is my Wandering Boy Tonight?" Watts bumps A. W. Starkz off of line 3465. Even Mr. Rogers has got the fever, and had to bump C. Allen off of car 75 on the Lark. Didn't let Allen stay on there long enough to get his feet warm. Here's something that is beyond me. J. W. Richardson, whose seniority dates back 3-8-20, deserves preference over J. Perryman who went to work the 10-26-19. How come? Line 3465-101-102 is up for bid. That's a chance for Starks. J. L. Bennett went to San Diego to recover from a recent illness. Next Safety meeting will be July 15th. From now on when pay day falls on Sunday, you will have to get your check at the up-town office, as Mr. Taylor's office will be closed in order to give him an opportunity of attending Bob Shuler's services. All news mailed to Chas, L. Upton, 2190 W. 30th street by Monday of each week will be published in this column. Phone ROchester 4782. It is oftow to be a big man. Daddy Jack, operating on the San Diego line is so big and at times looks so hard-bolled, that he is very often mistaken for Sheffield. This is the only district where a porter two months in the service can get a regular line; one being assigned to 30$ 1-2 to Chicago in the recent bids. MRS. W. GARNER PASSES AWAY Mrs. W. Garner, wife of porter, W. Garner, rassed away last week. This is a terrible loss to Bill as he is called among the boys. Mr. Garner and his wife were inoperable, and waverow you would see one the other was sure to be close by. The Railroad Clatter extends it's heartfelt sympathy to Mr. Garner in his bereavement, as well as the entire Los Angeles District. M. Smith, who has been on the sick PASADENA list for some time, is now working in Browning place at the porter's car. He says that all porters who can not re home nights on account of an irritated wife, come by and give him a break. J. A. Reeves has been on the sick list since November 4th. G. D. Smock is still on the sick list. A. Williams is sick at the general hospital. William White is still at Olive View Sanitarium in ward 719. All porters who have cars are asked to pay him a visit. Chas. White has been on the sick list. Charles B. Upton had the bellyache last week. Can't afford to get anything else; times are too hard. Eddie Nash has recovered from his recent illness and is returning to work. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Banton paid the writer a visit last week, and did not return home till the wee hours in the morning. SANTA MONICA RED CAPS J. Hawkins was given his choice last week of making a trip to Alabama and H. Davis at San Diego, so he choose Georgeta on a parair car or relieving the latter. Brisco Keece, the head red cap at San Diego was right on the job to greet Mr. Hawkins and welcome him to the city. The boys having Mr. Hawkins' welfare at heart, wish and hope that he will be able to make good in San Diego. Frank Parr, the sheikh of the red caps at the Santa Fe, and vice-president of that smoking hot club, "The Lion Tamers" left last week for the Grand Canyon (dead-head) where he will pick up a party for Frisco thence he will deadhead to Chicago to pick up a party of Elks bound for Los Angeles. He will be a long time gone. Charles Grandson, the cute little fellow with the sideburns, has returned to work after making a trip East with the Shriners. Sam Panky, Frank Thomas, Normand Stewart, and head red cap Brooks, purchased tickets to the Women's Economic Council Dance to be held June 25th. Speedy Harris gave away a hot one last week. He's funny that way! Mr. George Taylor and family, left last week for Wasco by auto. We hope he stays in the middle of the road. The Santa Fe red caps have at last got the fever and are now planning on organizing a hot base ball team to defeat the classy nine of the Southern Pacific red caps. Mr. Sam Penky has hired a social secretary to take care of his social appointments at the Dunbar Hotel. Hot dog! SOUTHERN PACIFIC RED CAPS The Southern Pacific Red caps ball team traveled to Las Vegas last Sunday and played the Las Vegas Eagles a close game, running into the 12th inning with the final score of 3 to 2 in favor of the Eagles. They claim that when they meet the cops next Saturday it will be just too bad, as they are in fine form. Balance of news next week—too late to classify. Full account of red cap activities in next issue. SOUTHERN PACIFIC EMPLOYEES GET LETTER OF PRAISE Following is a copy of the letter of praise from the Assistant Manager of D. C. H. R. Department: Los Angeles, Calif., June 20, 1929 Mr. Clarence Johnson, Sec. Cooks' and Walters' Union. Los Angeles, California.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC DINING CAR EMPLOYEES WIDE AWAKE ON CREDIT UNION PLAN The writer dropped in on Mr. Clarence Johnson, secretary of Cook's and Walters' Union, the other day and found him very much enthused over the credit Union plan. Mr. Johnson said for a long period of time, there has been a discussion both pro and con on the advisibility of organizing a credit Union within the dining car employees. Fortunately the complete organization program has been completed by the secretary and officials of the Union, and presented to its members, who are favorable to the development of this plan. The National Credit Examination Bureau in Boston has already pledged their support to the organization in carrying it through successfully. Their work will embrace the legal and legislative defection during the formation of the credit Union. As the whole plan will be under supervision of the State, and Federal control. More will be said about this credit Union plan in next weeks' issue. TRAVELING CHEF REISS PAYS CLUB VISIT.
