CONGRESSMAN DEPREIST COMING 1879 CALIFORNIA EAGLE 1929 "Ace" Foreman, First To Try Cross Continent CALIFORNIAN MEETS BRIDE IN AFRICA Flight Drowns ODD FELLOWS CLOSE MEMORABLE GRAND LODGE SESSION By: GEORGE W. GRISSOM The announcement of the engagement of Miss Ruth G. Morris to Lorenz B. Graham has revealed a romance seldom equalled outside the covers of a book. It goes to prove once again that truth is stranger than fiction and that love will find a way. Africa, the beat of tom toms, the scourge of fever, torrential rains and a low hanging moon Morris and Dr. Graham had been associated in the middlewest neither of the two youths knew of the existence all these are in the picture. THE FAMILY OF THE WESTERN ISLANDS Reading Left to Right: Miss Ruth G. Morris and Miss Sarah G. Williamson In 1924 when young Graham left the University of California at Los Angeles to go to Africa as private secretary to Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, Miss Morris was at Boydton Institute, Virginia, where her father, Dr. C. S. Morris, was president. Notice that geographically the two were about as far apart as they could possibly be without going outside the United States. His home was in Seattle, Washington, where his father, Dr. D. A. Graham, was pastor of the A. M. E. Church. Notice also that while her father was well known in the Baptist Church as a minister and educator his father was prominent in the same dual role in the Methodist Church and although Dr. Reading Left to Right: Miss L. G. Wil "I was too interested in my work," says Miss Morris, "to have any thoughts for young men. All my life I had avoided them because I wanted to do something worth while in Africa. Besides we had seventy children up there at Suehn Mission and the infrequent business trips I made to Monrovia were too short for the development of our acquaintance. Miss Williamson, my sister missionary, was my chum from childhood so my life seemed complete enough and I was realizing my one great ambition in serving my God and my people." As secretary to Bishop Brooks, Graham had made many friends in Monrovia and he had shown himself to be capable and trustworthy. It was only natural that when there was a vacancy in the staff of the American Legation he should be offered the position. The Charge d'Affaires, Clifton B. Wharton, recommended him to the State Department at Washington and he was immediately appointed. There he saw Morris more often for Americans who live in the interior of Liberia always call at the office of their home government whenever they visit the capital. Later Miss Williamson had to leave and the burden of carrying on the mission was left to Miss Morris alone. Meanwhile there was sickness, there were problems to be solved and difficulties to be overcome. Lorenz searched for ways of serving the --- Graham went to Africa in 124 and in 1926 Miss Morris sailed as a Baptist Missionary. They met in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. She was enthusiastic and anxious to get off to the interior. He was hardened to life in Africa but somewhat the worse for his two years' service. "When I first saw Miss Morris," he told me, "she seemed to be all that I had dreamed the American girl to be in the two years I had been away. I saw intelligence, courage, and Godliness. She had charm too, and incidentally good looks." He admits that he fell like the proverbial load of bricks, but she was not impressed. Ruth G. Morris and Miss Sarah Williamson THE MAYOR feel that whenever there was business to be transacted in Monrovia he was at her service. The distance was only sixty miles but it was as hard to travel as six hundred miles is in a civilised land. For a few months each year the trip could be made by motor but the heavy rims filled the valleys (Continued on Page Six) On Friday evening, August 2nd at 8:30 P. M. the little white-winged yacht "Christine," owned by Sloan Flack, Hollywood newspaper publisher and movie director, spread out her sails at Wilmington Harbor, and according to custom started on its weekly voyage conveying its owner, Mr. Sloan Flack, wife and 3-year old daughter to Catalina Island where they were won't to spend the week-end. In the employ of Mr. Flack was Joel (Ace). Foreman in the capacity of cook and boatsman, the only other occupant. At the Croner's inquest Wednesday morning, August 7th, Mr. Flack testified under oath that the boat wast traveling Ace Foreman and His Transcontinental Plano about 4 or 5 miles an hour when it was discovered that young Foreman had forgotten to hoist the flag, to which he (Mr. Flack) called Foreman's attention. "That's right," said the young Ace, "I'll do that right away," whereupon he started towards the bow of the boat holding on to the side rail. And testified Mr. Flack, "Before I could turn my head, I heard a spish. At first I thought the young man was playing a joke, because he had said that he could swim. However, I immediately heaved a life preserver, and called out for help, watching all the while for the boy to grasp the life saver; but as far as I could see he never came up." The other witnesses in the case were Bert Fulton, Herbert Carter, both of the California Yacht Club; Mrs. Slan Flack; also young Foreman's step-father, Gabriel Malveux, all of whom corroborated Mr. Slan's testimony. Daniel Malveux, the step-father, a special officer and messenger of the Pacific States Savings Bank located at 759 Sbp, Broadway, and to his best knowledge—at the time of his death "Ace" Foreman lived at 712 E. 52nd, Los Angeles, Calif., was 26 years 52nd Street, Los Angeles, was born in Galveston, Texas and was employed at Wilmington by Mr. and Mrs. Slan Flack, and that he and wife, the mother of Joel (Ace) Foreman resided at 1119 East 51st Street and learned of their son's untimely death by drowning Friday evening, August 2nd, 1928. Bert Fulison of the California Yacht Club was called to the stand the second time and testified on Friday evening every effort.was made to discover the body of Foreman at the spot where it went down but it was not until 4:30 P. M. Saturday that it was found adrift near Catalina Island. LOS ANGELES' FIRST BOY AVIATOR A few years ago when Bessie Coleman, one of America's first girl aviatrix, and the first colored dotted her pilott's cap to California, among her first pupils was little Joel Foreman. How well do I remember the smiling tenure of his striking personality—There was ambition in his sunshine and determination in his hybrid stride. During her stay in California Foreman stayed near the little flying girl. Heard her story; admired her courage, and decided there and then that he would fly. After Miss Coleman's departure from California we lost track of Foreman for a few months, but just at his time when we thought that his youthful enthusiasm, kindled at the coming of Miss Coleman had ebed back to the sea of oblivion, Joel Foreman again appeared on the scene. This time fully regaled in a regular pilot's outfit, and announced that he had learned to fly. During his brief flying career Foreman again edited the editors of this paper, and sometimes when we would have shaken him off, like wrestling Jacob, he would not let us go. N. A. A. C. P. BACKS FLIGHT "Amid the shouts, tears and well-wishings of 10,000 persons who crowded into Eagle airport, Sunday afternoon, Joel Foreman and his mechanic, Ars Ward, took to the air in their specially built plane in an attempt to be the first members of our Race to from coast to coast. Their destination is New York. The starting was a gala and everything was ideal for the attempt, which is destined to make history if successful."—Chicago Defender March 5, 127. HANDICAPS "The N. A. A. C. P. flyers, who few into Chicago without much ado, will not leave the city under similar circumstances. Statements issued from the headquarters of the local organization openly state, or at least hint, that Ace Foreman, transcontinental flyer, and his trusty mechanic, Artis Ward, are rank imposters."—Chicago Bulletin, June 1, 1827. While Foreman did not reach New York, and has fallen victim to the great reaper (death) his memory will ever be revered as the boy who dared to try. FUNERAL SERVICE FOR ACE FOREMAN The funeral services held for Joel (Ace) Foreman at Wesley Chapel, Wednesday at 2 o'clock were very impressive in their simplicity. Many beautiful floral pieces from the family made the ceremony beautiful. Telegrams from all parts of the United States were read expressing great sorrow for the loss that the family has suffered. The Bessie Coleman Aero Club sent a letter of sorrow. Foreman was born in Galveston, Texas and has been in California for nine years. He was converted to the church when 10 years of age. Last evening brought to a close out of the greatest sessions which was ever held in this jurisdiction by the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. After partaking of a sight-seeing trip today through the courtyard of the Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the delegates, members and 'visitors will bid Los Angeles adieu with fond memories of a real live and hot time in the city of Angels for the week just ended. Opening Session The Grand Lodge convened at Odd Fellows Hall last Monday at 9:30 a.m., with the District Grand Master Isaiah Robinson, presiding. The District Grand Household of Ruth convened at the same hour with the District Grand Noble Governor at the helm. Both bodies got down to work and in a very short time organized both bodies and proceeded with the appointment of their various committees. "Pre Grand Lodge Reception." Sunday evening was the scene of special services of religious welcome held at the Eighth and Towne Avenue A. M. E. church. The services was conducted and sermon preached by the Rev. W. D. Miller, pastor of the church. All of the officers of the District Grand Lodge were presented. Claude A. McKinney delivered a very pleasing address of welcome, to the delegation of the large audience present.

The following morning, Ray brothers, Edwin and Ernest tower, retained the services of new Leon Whitaker. Hightower was duly bound to the Superior Court to stand the charge of murder in the five kree. The trial began on July 16. The Big Opening Reception Monday night was a notable occasion when Wesley Chapel was filled to the utmost for a program which had been arranged for the occasion. Mayor Porter in Welcome Address Mayor John C. Porter was present and in person delivered the address of welcome and presented the keys of the city. The Mayor was gracious in his words of welcome as well as sincere. This was the first occasion since his election that he had to address members of our group. Past Grand Master J. B. Bass, responded to the welcome address of the Mayor. His remarks were in a happy vein and invoked the greatest enthusiasm. Sister Violet McDonald favored with a pleasing solo. The Post Office Employees favored by playing several inspiring selections. This organization of 16 pieces is certainly a high credit to the genus of their leader and the ability of its members. The address of Welcome on behalf of the Odd Fellows of Los Angeles was very creditably delivered by T. B. Norman. Mrs. E. Kimbrough, performed a like duty on behalf of the Household of Ruth in a very satisfactory manner. Laura Martinez stirred the audience with a very witty and peppy address on behalf of the Juveniles. Charles White popular tenor favored with a solo which received the hearty anapause of all. Master George Comfort, of the Juveniles rendered a very appreciative solo. Response was made by D. G. N. G. Sister S. L. Eggleston. Short addresses were made by Grand Master J. H. Wilson of of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of California; Chief Mentor Martin of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor; Grand Chancellor J. Allen Reese, of the Knights of Pythias; E. I. R. Swain. Alonzo Bowdon was chairman of the evening and S. L. Eggleston was presented as master of ceremonies. Both performed their duties in a masterly manner. Tuesday evening was the occasion of the monster Promenade, which held forth at Masonic Hall. Rene's orchestra furnished the music and the Odd Fellows stepped in unison thereo. A splendid turnout and a great time was reported. Wednesday evening the entire order held forth at Phillips Chapel A. M. E. Zion church in a memorial service to the departed members. The ceremonies were conducted in a most impressive manner. They were in charge of the Grand Chaplain Rev. G. W. Reed, who presented Grand Secretary Jacob Soreas as master of ceremonies. Thursday session which was the closing day will appear in another column or issue of this paper. This day gives the result of the election of officers and of course is looked forward to with great interest by the members and friends. The Most Noble Governess chamber gave a very pretentious banquet at the Dunbar on this evening.

Judge Walter Guerin, after having heard the argument on defendant's motion for a new trial, mercifully (in the opinion of the defendant's mother and brothers, and those who have follow- ed the case since its beginning) deni- ned the motion, and imposed sentence. On April 30, 1929, after two years of quarrelting, accusations, and threats, Raymond Hightower shot and killed his common-law father in-law, Joe Trayler, as the latter was rising from his front porch. Hightower had taken a revolver from the home of a friend, George Reed, in San Pedro, and had gone to Wilmington, in which town Trayler resided. Hightower's wife and child were living with Trayler at the time of the shooting. The following morning, Raymond's brothers, Edward and Ernest Hightower, retained the services of Attorney Leon Whitaker. Hightower was duly bound over to the Superior Court to stand trial on the charge of murder in the first de- cree. The trial began on July 16, 1929 at 10:00 A. M. A jury was obtained quickly, the members being sworn at 3:45 P. M. the same day. The opening statement for the prosecution made by Deputy District Attorney J. T. Russell disclosed the fact that the People considered Highfower's act one of cold-blooded and premeditated murder; and that the State would demand the death penalty. The opening statement for the defendant's theory of self-defense. The offering of testimony extended from July 16 to July 23, although Attorney Whitaker engaged in the interrogating of witnesses, he was ably and indispensably assisted, during the trial on the plea of not guilty, by his brilliant associate, Attorney Curtis Cavielle Taylor. The prosecution referred to a prior killing by Raymon Hightower, which fortunate occurrence happened in 1913. Hightower served four years in Oklahoma State Prison as a result of conviction. The people also referred to an assault with a deadly weapon made on his mother-in-law by Hightower in November, 1927, after which time Hightower spent several months in the county jail. The trial was hotly contested from start to finish. Attorney Whitaker forever endearing himself to the citizens of Long Beach, San Pedro, and Wilmington, because of his cultured, yet vigorous and determined, conduct of the defense. The courtroom had been packed Continued to page six Two Former Howard Professors Observe Wedding Anni vesaries Dean Cummings married 60 years Dr. Parks 50 years Washington, D. C., July 27, 1929—On last Friday, July 26 at Groton, N. H., Mr. and Mrs. George J. Cummings observed the 60th anniversary of their marriage, and on July 30, Mr. agd Mrs. Edward L. Parks observed the 50th anniversary of their marriage at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mr. Cummings was Professor of Latin and Greek and Dean of the Academy upon his retirement in 1919 and for many years prior to that time. He served Howard University over a long period with remarkable loyalty, efficiency, and distinction, and built his life into the lives of many students who came under his influence and instruction. Mr. Parks was Professor of Economics and Dean of men at the time of his retirement in 1928, after a term of service covering 21 years. Dr Parks' devotion, industry and throughness endeared him to every one who came in contact with him. Upon his departure last year from active work he was greeted by spontaneous expressions of appreciation and respect. WE LAMENT the early passing of "Ace" Foreman. Foreman was among the first colored youths of Los Angeles to express a desire to be a "Bird Man" and while he did not fly across the Atlantic, in his attempted transcontinental flight he scaled the Rockies and reached Chicago without accident. WE ARE constantly speaking out in favor of organization—We mean, however, that form of organization that stands for the pooling of the Negroes' business interests. Already we have far too many organizations which stand for nothing more, than a grand meeting each year when wind jammers meet and exchange compliments. On these annual occasions they work themselves up to 98 degrees fahrenheit telling others how. THE FIRST and fundamental organization should begin in the home. The man who hasn't the ability to organize his own home has no business trying to organize men. And the man who cares so little for his home that he furnishes neither the comfort and protection of it, is certainly not worthy of a high place in any other organization. THERE is an item in another section of this paper telling how a son killed his father when the latter attempted to abuse her on account of "The other Woman." WHEN "the other woman" invades the sanctity of a home, she should be claused a Social Vulture. As a rule this "other woman" occupies high places in churches, and other organizations of standing in the community. She too often dictates social activities and as a rule is first to turn up her nose because of the presence of someone who is not good enough for her social set, but perhaps, so much better in character that Mrs. "snob" would not be worthy to unlatch her shoes. A woman who plays the role of the "other woman" in a family's life, is not only a menace to decency, but a destructive element in the present day social fabric, and should be treated, when discovered, as was the leper in Christ's time. IN THE MAGAZINE section of Sunday's Examiner points out, very clearly how the African came in possession of his color, but says the author, in spite of the fact that a white man, subjected to the same climatic conditions would present the same color scheme, does not mean that there are not other physical differences. The American white man whether in Church, on the lecture platform or behind the newspaper desk never forgets to.weave in his pety race prejudice. We admit that there are differences for it is a fact that can' the denied, that whenever a Black Man has been granted equil opportunity for educational development with the white man he has proved himself Master, while his White competitor trailed along taking second place. "The kind that does not blister is caused by irritation of the capillaries, the small blood vessels which carry the circulation through the deeper skin. These become distended and gorged and produce the redness so noticeable in sunburned cases. The high-temperature of the skin is, of course, a fever produced by the inflammation. A tan is a production of pigment cells by the skin. These absorb the ultra-violet rays and protect the capillaries and deeper tissues from them. These pigment cells are what give the African his dark color, and these are precisely the same in the white man and the black. This does not mean that there are not other physical differences in the two races, but certainly the fine bronze or brown that you bring home with you from your vocation establishes a closer tie with the colored brotherhood than existed when you went away. Sunday Afternoon, August 11th Phoo and Paloma Avenue Sunday afternoon will be a big day for the N. A. A. C. P., followers. Mr. L. G.

Motion Pictures; The Producers; Exhibitor and the Negro Actor American Negroes spend approximately $40,000,000 year at the box offices of moving picture shows thru-out the country and actively one-tenth of one per cent in return by way of employment in the motion picture industry. Whenever they appear on the screen it is usually in the role of servant, or worse than this, in the role of "coon" or a silly "darky." The latest report on paid admissions to moving picture shows in America revealed that 70 per cent of its English speaking population attends moving picture theatres once a week. This number includes about 8,000,000 Negroes who at the lowest price of admission of ten cents each to see a movie once a week, spend $4.80 each per year, or a total of $38,400,000 for 8,000,000 of them. Since the talking pictures have apparently came to stay there is no reason why the Negro should not get at least 25 per cent return on his patronage by way of employment in the films. Talking pictures seem to have been especially made for he Negro voice. It is a fact that nine out of ten Negroes who take the voice test for the talks pass without having had previous training; while seven out of ten cultured and well-trained white actors fail to pass the voice test. The voice of the Negro actor registers smoothly and evenly because it is by nature well modulated and very mellow, while the voice of the white actor is high-pitched, sharp and rasping. The sound experts in the talkie studios, therefore, usually pass the Negro actor without the voice test and start right to work with him on the picture. That is, whenever the Negro actor gets a rare chance. Song and Dance Talkies The greatest factor in favor of the Negro in talking pictures is the song and dance, a sphere in which he is prominent. He can sing anything from jazz to grand opera, assemble any kind of orchestra and write his own song and music. Also, within his race the Negro has men and women especially trained in business, and they have as well men who can manage moving picture studios and produce both silent and sound pictures. Theme possibilities appear unlimited. Today every race in the world is manufacturing its own moving pictures, advertising their race and their country, and using the movies to carry on their propaganda. Our own Roland Hayes, the world's most celebrated tehran, through his art, advertised the American Negro throughout Europe and the foreign countries. It is a known fact all over the world. NEW COHEN DARKTOWN COMEDY ABOUT READY" "The Lady Fare," by Octavus Roy Cohen has been filmed, directed by William Watson, featuring an all-Negro cast and a cabaret revue with Leon Hereford's Cotton Club jazz orchestra, the Cotton Club dancing chorus headed by, Aurora Greeley, Rutledge and Taylor and other special acts. It has dusky singing and dancing teams featured in fast numbers and is a combination of a typical Octavus Roy Cohen story and revue entertainment of the kind for which the colored performers are especially noted. In the cast are Roberta Hyson, Leroy Broomfield, Spencer Williams, Lawrence Criner, Claude Collins, Gus Jones and Zach Williams. "HALLELUJAH" TO BE SHOWN IN FEW WEEKS New York—The long-expected "Hallejah," King Vidor's all-Colored cast Movietone play will open, at the Embassy in a few weeks. Mr. Vidor has concentrated tremendous energy and time upon this production, which will feature the youthful star Nina Mae McKinney. BILL ROBINSON AT LAFAYETTE New York, August 3rd The management of the Lafayette Theatre announces that arrangements have been made for the appearance of Bill Robinson at the Lafayette Theatre during the week beginning Aug. 12. Robinson is now appearing in a special return engagement at the Palace Theatre. He will devote all of his next week training the girls who are to appear with him at the Lafayette. BALM SUIT ON FETCHIT SETTLED Yvonne Butler, 17, will receive $5000 from Lincoln Theodore Perry, negro film comedian. Known on the screen as Stepin Fetchit, under a compromise agreement approved today by Judge Marshall F. McComb, Miss Butler sued Stepin Fetchit for $100,000 damages, alleging he jilted her after having promised to marry her. She appeared with her attorneys, Cradick, Clute and Sullivan, and her mother, Mrs. Althea Weston, who acted as her guardian and agreed to the settlement. As the plaintiff was a minor it was necessary for the court to approve it also. Miss Butler acted the actor promised on Oct. 31 last to marry her Nov. 28. Instead he married another girl on June 27. Perry denied he ever promised to marry Miss Butler. "Come Seven," Robert Levy's first presentation to down town show goers is a typical Roy Cohen story of Negro life in the South. Evelyn Preer were as usual at their very best. It seems to make them no difference whatsoever what they have to do in the way of acting. Be it either drama or comedy they do both equally well. The story takes place on the outskirts of that famous city, Birmingham, Ala. by outskirts they mean the black belt of the city. Around Avenue F and the rest of the famous Avenues. LAURA BOWMAN AGAIN Laura Bowman plays the part of Ezekiel Nesbit. Urius Nesbit is good Urius Nesbit. The part of Urius Nesbit, the laziest man in town is taken by another par excellence, Charles Olden. Olden will always be remembered for the wonderful acting he did in the "Unborn." In the "Unborn" it was stark drama and in "Come Seven" it is comedy to the nth degree and Charles handles the comedy as well as he did the drama. Vistar Golns, the high yellow gel, who is a maid for a rich white family is Miss Evelyn Preer. Florian Slappey, the best dressed man in town and always looking for a way to keep from working is por-trayed by Mr. Edward Thompson. Miscolm Patton, Los Angeles' very own, plays the part of the pompous Lawyer Chew, who uses the Biggest words in the dictionary in the wrong place. Seamore, Mashby, the skin-fint money lender, is acted by Lawrence Criner. The gist of the story is this: Florian Slappey, the non workest man what is, has a money making scheme that should make lots of money and does, but not for the handsome Mr. Slappey. Urias Nestir, Charles Olden, is the medium through which Florian secures his first capital to foster this big money making proposition. Olden is talked into taking his wife's $125 diamond engagement ring from her trunk by Mr. Slappey so that they can gain $75 cash money to put their deal through. A side splitting comedy is woven around this diamond ring and it almost leads to a wholesale buying of shining rocks. A great ideal of worry and everything else that brings gale haws, the diamond ring is put back in the trunk and Miss Laura Bowman, playing Elizner Nesbit is the owner of two genuine gleaming rocks instead of one and she is 300 bucks to the good, the very money Mr. Flarian Slappey was to get. BLUES SINGING In the third act Miss Preer sings a blues number that stops the show. Mosby's Blue Serenaders really sereiade you with their enticing music and no less. All in all it was a very goodshow and and brings out the Negro's weakness for the little galloping cubes and social attainment in a pleasing manner. DRAMA-ORANGE GROVE "COME SEVEN" Evelyn Preer and Laura Bowman, two of the leading players in "Come Seven," the Octavus Roy Cohen stage comedy, that is having its cost premiere at the New Orange Grove theater, will probable do a phonograph record this week, as a duet. Besides their histrionic ability as proven with the Lafayette Players in "Come Seven," the two colored artists have good singing voices. In fact Miss Preer "stops the show" every night in the third act with her singing accompanied by Mosby's Blue Serenaders. The third act is a veritable musical revue as the entire company and Mosby's Blue Serenaders take part in songs, and dances as well as comedy and drama. The Saturday midnight shows, and Sunday performances find music lovers packing the theater to its very doors. LEONIDAS SIMMONS—returns, full of glory from her conquest in the East. How she is only here for a vacation. What about it Leonidas? Are you sure its on account of a much needed vacation? Tell us now, has the Western presentation of the Eastern stage hit "Lula Belle" anything to do with your presence. However we welcome you home. "LULA BELLE"—to prove its western presentation. David Belasco celebrated stage producer, reported to The great, and masterful fight being waged by Motion Picture Equity, for recognition in the film industry, gathered additional momentum in the direction of a clean cut victory over the producers association, this week the action of the Boston Central Labor body, in passing a resolution denouncing the stand, and putting under its ban, certain actors now under suspension with Equity is regarded as indicative of a victory for Equity in the near future. Four of the most prominent actors in the film world, were listed as those banned by the Union. It is feared that other Labor bodies might take a like stand. Among the stars to suffer are: Clara Bow, Lionel Barrymore, Marie Dressler, Canirad Nagel, Noah Beerry, and Louise Dresser. Producers evidently have anticipated such a move for some time, there has been a noticeable cut in production schedules here. With a successful termination of what appears, to be the final moments of a very necessary conflict, it is hoped that things will quickly get back to normacy. DAN B. MINER COMPANY W. F. Hannaford Office Manager Cavans of Beverly Hills on electrical equipment in the homes shows that one residence out of three there contains an electric refrigerator. The cavans is a part of a survey made of the entire Los Angeles area, including all cities in the local trade territory. The report shows that in Hollywood approximately 16 per cent of the homes have electric refrigeration, and this same percentage is maintained in several other sections of Los Angeles. The high preparation of electric refrigerators in Beverly Hills is attributed to the fact that in many of the better type homes there contractors have installed the electrical refrigerators before disposing of the house, as they have found that such added conveniences contribute to the speedy sale or rental of properties. Within the city limits of Los Angeles increased popularity of domestic electric refrigeration is based primarily on the low rates for electric current here, officials of the Department of Water and Power of the City of Los Angeles declare. They say that the cost of current for the average electric refrigerator amounts to less than five cents a day by rates established by the municipal bureau. NEW YORK HOWARD ALUMNI ENDORSE HOWARD DRANS New York City, Aug. 6.1929.—At a regular meeting of the New York Howard University Club on July 27th at 9:00 P. M. is was invited as follows: That, whereas the Trustees of Howard University at their Annual Meeting in June 1929, elected three of the Alumni of Howard University as deans of respective faculties, said deans being Dean Numa P. Adams to the Medical School; Dean Edward P. Davis to the College of Liberal Arts; and Dean Arnold Donawbia to the College of Dentistry; and likewiseected Professor Stewart Nelson as Administrative Assistant to the President of the University and, Whereas it is the general feeling among the Alumni that these elections were made solev upon the ground of merit and ability. Be it resolved that the New York Alumni Club unanimously endorse these elections and regard this as an inspiration to the scholars of the Negro race and, (Continued from Page Four) better methods of selling; and we must develop more practical business schools to meet present day demands. The problem of the Negro in America is never going to be solved until we can get a Negro at the council table of America business. In his pocket he must have the combined buying power of the twelve million Negroes analyzed, classified, and grouped so that America can see it in terms of sales plans and advertising appropriations. Our spokesman can then negotiate and make terms on the basis of mutual interest and understanding and without rancor. At present, we must wait outside and forlornly petition, or else be satisfied with the crumbs which are left after the council has adjourned. From the Press Service of the National Negro Business League, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. psuedo producers of our group are running about claiming to be booking agents for the Belasco interest. However we shall see, who is who. This production will mark the first important play succeeds, we can safely say Los Angeles is now on the Theatrical map. Lets hope it succeeds.

I am a Republican, elected on a Republican ticket and expect to stay in the Republican party and to fight for the Negroes' rights within the Republican party, for that is the only party that has ever passed any constructive legislation for the benefit of American citizens known as Negroes."

He is treasurer of the Grand Lodge, G. U. O. O. F. in session here. We forgot to inquire whether he came by train or airplane. Yes, the Odd Fellows' Grand Lodge is in session here this week, and Los Angeles looks like a fraternal city. Folks are here from everywhere in the state. It has really been like a reunion for we have met so many of our old friends and associates among whom we recognized Jake Sorese, John C. Rivers, Mrs. Shorey and daughter, Miss Victoria Shorey of Oakland; Will Churchill of Marysville, Mrs. Will Slaughter, Mrs. George White and two daughters of Sacramento; Caviel of Vallejo, Secretary-Treasurer of Endowment; Johnnie Derrick and sister and a host of others. They are having one time and making fraternal history.

Mrs. Walter J. Dunlap and two daughters, Marion and Jane are the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. N. Hopkins on East Jefferson Street. Mayor Porter is reported as stating in an interview granted a swimming pool committee that he himself would not want to bathe with colored.

A capacity crowd is expected at this session. The National Association of Colored Walters and Hotel Employees was organized four years ago for the purpose of promoting the welfare of colored walters and hotel employees and to open up new jobs as well as protect the rights and jobs now held by the group. Under the leadership of Morris Cowan, as president the association has grown rapidly in numbers and influence and at the convention last year adopted a program devised to influence various institutions of learning to include training for waiters and the like in their curriculum. The Chicago courting agent, headed by Norman Dunlap, manager of the Chicago branch, will invade the city soon 100 strong. According to the present plans this group will arrive on a special train and bring a fifty-two place brass band. Mr Dunlap holds a record of having placed over 2000 men in lower division town show. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA The deceased was born in Lexington, Ky., Sept. 13, 1859. When a small girl she moved with her parents to Xenia, Ohio. When about 18 years of age, she accepted Christ and became a member of the Church in Xenia. She was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Mr. Nathan James, Dec. 30, 1886. To this union was born four (4) children, Lorenza, Myrtle, Nathan and Marguerite. She lived a consistent christian life, having been a faithful worker in the Church of Xenia, Ohio. Coming to Los Angeles, in 1911 she united with the First A. M. E. Church. Notwithstanding her age she was a faithful member, always in attendance at her church until ill health prevented. She always took an interest in visiting the sick and ministering in any possible to their needs. She was a kind and devoted mother. She became ill in Dec. 1928. Although her illness was quite severe, she bore her pain gently and patiently, never complaining, but always with the same loving smile. On Tues. morning, July 30, 1929, God called her home for that "long needed rest." She is not dead but sleepth. She leaves to mourn her passing, a son, two daughters, a sister, a son-in-law, and a host of friends. No she is not dead but God has saved another soul to himself and transplanted another flower in his garden of love. She sings no more Jesus lover of my soul." Rocks of ages Cleft for me" and "Nearer my God to Thee," but eternally her song is "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabbath, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. "Servant of God well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Masters joy." The. Voice at 8:30 came: She started up to hear; A mortal wound pierced her frame; She fell—but felt no fear.

Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 1.—The Century Life Insurance Company's home office is now located here. Following the unanimous decision of the officers and board of directors of the insurance company which boasts of being one of the largest companies operating in this section, the physical properties, including office furniture, files, records, etc., were moved here Friday from Little Rock, and the home office opened here Monday morning for business. Discussing the transfer of the home office from Little Rock to Hot Springs, A. E. Bush, president, told a representative of the Associated Negro Press: "By the removal of the company's home office to the city of Hot Springs, it was felt, that the valuable connections made with Mr. John L. Webb, the company made a step forward in its expansion program. Through this connection, and the very bright possibilities of the taking over of several smaller companies, it is thought the Century Life Insurance Company will within the next twelve months double its volume of business, as well as greatly strengthen its financial structure. The moving of the company is looked upon with much favor by all Officers of the company will remain the same and there are no contemplated changes in the official personnel for the present." John L. Webb, supreme custodian of the Woodmen of Union, one of the strongest fraternal insurance organizations in the United States, was recently added to the board of directors, and is almost directly responsible for the transfer of the home office. The officers of the company are: A RIVERSIDE NEWS By Mrs W. G. William On last Thursday evening the A. M. E. Church, was crowded to capacity, to hear Bishops Parks., who delivered a wonderful sermon.

Cabs first ride in town" Friday, August 9, 1929 In The Social Whirl Dr. Receives High Distinction Popular Physician invited East to assist as Nephrologist. National Medical Conference. At the recent meeting of the California State Medical, Dental and Pharmacical association wefe some for most representative Eastern Medical men. They greatly appreciated the conference and considered it in every way an honor to its officers and members. Among those taking an active part in the program were Dr. Ruth Temple who with that plenidid young physician, Dr. W. E. Bailey represented the obstetric section of the association. Dr. Temple gave a paper and lantern slides demonstrating a resently perfected operation which has saved the lives of hundreds of mothers and their babies. She also demonstrated the simplest method of delivering a Normal Maternity case in the home. The Eastern men were greatly pleased with the work demonstrated by Dr. Temple and felt that the Eastern Physicians as well as the Doctors of the West should receive the benefit of Dr. Temple's research and study in obstetrics on Maternity work in her to go East and place the same work in National Medical Society which meets in Mark, New Jersey in August. For ten years Dr. Temple has been one of our prominent physicians having been graduated here in our mids in 1918. For five years after graduation she generously gave her time to general practice taking care of the medical needs of men, women and. But Dr. Temple soon saw the large need for a specialists care of women during the important period of motherhood. Therefore five years ago she gave up general work and denoted her life as that of a specialist for women only. She has put in long hard hours on the city maternity Division of the Los Angeles city Health Dept. which cares for from 100 to 125 mothers delivered, a month. This work under the direct supervision of one of the greatest obstetricians in the U. S. has given Dr. Temple a wonderful opportunity to acquire the experience which has made her a blessing in the hands of God to the hundreds of women of her own race whom she serves during confinement. Dr. Temple will leave Los Angeles about August 22 to be gone for one month. She plans to spend as much time as possible in the renowned Maternity Hospital. Painless child birth is one phase of the work which Dr. Temple is now studying and working on and which she plans on her Eastern trip to investigate thoroughly. Mr. and Mrs. W. B.

MY NEWER WAY I've started out a newer way, To take a better stand, To help my race who has been chased, From country, land to land. I've started out with ink and pen, This victory I want to win, I've put myself to a test, And to look to Jesus for rest. I've started out the best I know, Through rain or shine, I'll try to go I'll try to do the best I can To serve my race and country land. I've started out like fruit on a tree You are the leaves to accompany me As apples grow larger they get much reader When I grow older I'll write poems better. By Bobbie Logan 933 E. 38 St., Los Angeles --- The Business Girls' club of the Y. W. C. A. 12th Street Branch, entertained friends with a "Trip Around the World," Saturday, August 3rd. Delicious refreshments were served at the Y. W. C., and at the residence of Mesdames Rosella Randolph, Roberta Payne and Lilia Murray. Just got an air mail from Charles Moore, who is "touring" with Buddy Rogers, the movie star. Charles writes that Chicago is jam-up, especially since he got the chance of visiting specialists. Joel Vest, who was his "specialist," joins Vest. The Angelene. Charles is enthusiastic about theception Harold Bokay is getting in Chi. Harold is the young man who made such a hit at the Cotton club and at the Lincoln Theatre. Chicagoans call him the "Personality Kid" with the silver-toned voice. Charles expects to be in Los Angeles soon, and his many friends will be glad to see him. Working for a movie star isn't so bad after all! The Lefayette Players at the Orange Theatre, did the best they could with a bum play written by Octavus Roy Cohen, who is supposed to be humorous and a past master on Negro dialect. His stories have been running in best selling magazines for years, but we have never been able to find any humor in them: In "Come Seven" now playing, all the members of the cast did well, considering, but we think that that type of play is not for this class of players. Evelyn Preer wore some keen looking evening gowns, and sang some wicked blues in the same old fashion that made her popular at the Lincoln, and Edward Thompson's performance was well received, as was Laura Bowman, Mal Patton, Cleo Desmond, Lawrence Criner, Charles Olden, and the rest of the troup. Miss Ruth Glens, winner of a recent beauty contest, was seen in the cast. Mr. Wilfred L. Greenway held a public demonstration of his new straightening comb, non scalp burning, at his beauty shop, 1803 Central avenue, Tuesday evening, August 6th. The date for opening of the shop will be announced in the California Eagle. Much interest has been manifested in this new comb, as scalp burning by her combs, have been a torture to colored women all over the country for years. Watch for date! Miss Jessie Balthazer, lately from Louisiana, says Los Angeles is O.K. with her. Jessie has been seeing the city in company with her sisters, Louise and Billie. The puddle jumper which her brother, Lance drives, has been proving quite a help in enabling the visitor to see the sights, even the it is slightly uncomfortable, being addicted to loose doors, the hiccups, and with the added impediment of old age creeping on. MAN FREED IN FATAL STAB BING The last scene in the tragic drama which began with a fight resulting in the mortal wounding of Alphonse Spurlock at 1133¼ E. 53rd Street, Thursday, ended last week in the Coroners Court Room at the Hall of Justice when the coroners jury returned a verdict of self-defense and exonerated Henry Stowers from all blame in the killing of Alphonso Spurlock. The two men were relatives and very much attached to each other, but it seems difficulty arose between the two over a small debt which resulted in an argument in which the deceased drew a knife, and the two engaged in a scuffle, during which time Stowers also secured a knife and in the resultant struggle the fatal wound was inflicted. Spurlock was immediately rushed to the Georgia St. Hospital where he died Sunday afternoon. Immediately after his arrest Stowers retained the services of Attorney Curtis Cavielle Taylor who represented him at every stage of the proceedings until he was released from custody after the verdict of the Coroners jury. After Stowers' acquittal, he grasped the hands of his Attorney and broke down in tears. Attorney Taylor also figured prominently in the sensational Hightower murder trial which was recently concluded in Long Beach. JAIL FIRST MAN ON SCOLD CHARGE IN RESORT (Br. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 6. —The first man ever to be charged with being a "common scold" in Atlantic County is Henry Anderson. He was committed to the county jail by Magna William Page in default of $1,000 ball for the assault action. He is alleged to have verbally abused Dorabach Jackson also of the resort, and to have used vile language which was grossly indecent in public.

CAMMERY Chattanooga, Tenn., July 6—While the officers of the Ku Klux Klan, at the headquarters of the organization in Atlanta, Ga., are making plans for the launching of a mammoth drive for members and funds to repeal the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution of the United States, the members in and around Ringgold, Georgia, near here, showed that the organization thrived on racial intolerance by driving a Negro road workers from the Friday to Saturday. The Negro laborers were employed in the construction of a new highway and were doing a good job of it. Friday morning there were notices posted around the camp of the crew which read: "Nigger, don't let the sun set on you here Saturday."—Signed K. K. K." The workers realizing that they could expect little or no protection complied with the warning and moved out at once. Other, crews in other sections, however, are working unmolested.

MERDIA) Now that the election is over and so is the high-powered politicians among our group. Some have gone back to the old mudholes to wallow, others have pulled off the disguise of lams and have scampered back to their old haunts. No one seems to be working on the old bandwagon. May be the big horn and the big drum fellows are arguing the question as to who made the loudest noise and who should be entitled to the biggest pull or as to who put his white man over and who did not; hoping that he will never forget them. For the love of funny things, how can he forget them? You know I remember the first circus I attended. There was a group of funny looking things, some wore high hats and two tailed coats, others wore dresses and high bustles. Of course they walked and they talked, in fact they keep up a lots of noise. The one with the two tail coat reached in his pocket, pulled out a bottle bent over stuck his head between his legs and began drinking something. The crowd began to laugh. He slipped a baby nipple on the bottle and said: "How doe At that time a dressed white man came along that had a sign on his cap that spelled manager. He raised his right foot and when some of the others had disconnected his foot from the funny, looking object with the two-tail coat on he had a perfect foot print in the center of his trousers just below the waist line. He looked at the other funny looking objects and said something in a very rough voice. The funny looking object with the dress and high bustle on, began running and calling John-nee. Pretty soon everybody had gone. After I had gone home I told my mother what happened, and what the funny looking thing with the two tail coat on said and what the one with the dress and high bustle said and how they bowed and scratched and how the manager came upon one that was scratching; he had scratched every place but the bottom of his foot and as he stooped to scratch under his foot, the manager's foot had another collision with the seat of trousers. He said, "Get out of here dirty louse, and how he chased the one that came in with a cage full of rats. He called them some kind of funny rats. My mother said son, those are clowns and without them there would be no show. I ask her why did the manager kick them out and she said, "Son, that is the last act of the show; the clowns are kicked out." The Negro race has many disguised clowns. Two weeks before election their salaries range from a second-hand Ford to a gallon of jack-ass. If one or two Negroes are good enough to be banqueted with other white citizens during political circuses, the masses of Negro citizens and taxpayers ought to be able to bathe in their own swimming pool at any time. Fellow citizens of the Negro race, for circuses and not for the welfare of American trodden, struggling citizens of America. Citizens of a state or citizens of a civic color of skin disfranchise him for 30 years or more; the circus has had the same old clown act for 30 years or more; the election bosses have had the same old clown act among my people, but as the circus clowns are, becoming unpopular, so are the political clowns among the Negroes. We are demanding equal rights and representation from the White House to the City Hall. We have always been called crap shooters, but we intend to hit 48 naturals and bar all points and the ballot is a good jack pot. We must organize and we will organize, for it is our only salvation. Education has played its part, industry has played its part. Education is only the soldier in uniform, industry the gun and the ballot your ammunition of defense and like all governments we must have straight shooters; our political clowns are forgotten now. I doubt whether they can get inside now just for an ordinary hand-shake. The white candidates and political bosses came to you and to our Negro churches, bowed in prayer with you and begged you for a job; you in return give them jobs. Go to them two weeks later, beg them for a job and they will tell you these jobs are for white men and women. You spend your money with white industry when you are broke or have to change jobs you go there and ask for a position, they will tell you we do not work colored people in here. You look around you, you see every nationality in America employed there. Other places you go you see Negroes with mops and brooms. Ask him how long here brother? Thirty years, and carrying the keys. The key is the highest promotion he gets. The white office boy has become president and retired and George has become head porter and key carrier. After all what we bear we must not squel, but keep quiet and wait on the Lord. I think the Lord has been put into many places he didn't NEED to be and kept out of all the places he should have been put. Fellow citizens of the Negro race, there is no public office in the city of Los Angeles that's for white people only, but is for the citizens of Los Angeles. Citizenship knows no color of skin, nor citizenship rights no particular job. Our organization stands for Loyalty, Education, Industry and Equal rights, not one or two of the rights but the whole "darn" family of the rights. Prepare for war in time of peace. So let the political clowns sleep on. Watch for next weeks' issue in the Eagle. Co-Operative Business Among Negroes ALBON L. HOSEY Secretary, National Negro Business League Thirty years ago when we went to the corner grocery, we bought our syrup from a barrel, our crackers from a wooden box, and our sugar from a bin. These and other products, similarly handled, were unnamed, unsanitary, and frequently adulterated. Today, thanks to scientific research pure food laws, and the adventurous spirit of American business, we buy our Karo Syrup in a can, our Sunshine or Premium Crackers in a dust and moisture-proof package, and our Crystal Domino Sugar in an attractive and convenient carton. In those good old days, the grocery store was a disorderly assembly of bins, barrels, tubs, and boxes. Today's grocery is a kaleidoscopic blend of colorful and attractive labels and trademarks. However, the transition from bins to packages was not an overnight step, nor was it the brain child of one individual. Rather, it was a succession of progressive advances which blended into one great American achievement. It is not necessary to recount here all that went into this achievement. We press on to the purpose of this paper by merely mentioning the fact that while Dr. Wiley, Samuel Hopkins Adams, and others were exposing fraudulent trade practices and urging the passage of drastic and protective laws governing the production of food, other great leaders like Taylor, Edison, and Steinmetz were delving into problems of factory efficiency and output. Obsolete machinery was discarded, operative wastes isolated abandoned and new methods of cost control installed. Factory changes, together with rapid discoveries, gave greater production. Then it was that modern advertising was called upon to enlighten a responding public and to create larger consumer demand to take care of the large-quantity production. There was yet, however, the problem of economical distribution, a situation great- ly intensified by the very achievements which we have briefly reviewed. But American business did not falter. It rolled up its provencial sleeves and tuckled the job. If large scale production was sound, then large scale buying and centralized control of unit distribution must likewise be sound and economical. And so, the principle of the chain stores was worked out. But the problem of distribution is still in process of recognition and readjustment for sixty-three per cent of our merchandise is at the present time bought from merchants who are not in the chains. Many cumbersome methods in distribution demand revision because scientific analysis of the independent grocery trade has revealed certain conditions not consistent with sound business practice. For example, it has been discovered that a grocery store carrying twenty different kinds of soap will do eighty per cent of its soap business with seven brands; that four out of twenty-seven brands of breakfast foods will turn eighty per cent of the year's business on breakfast foods. When these facts were brought out at Lousville where the study was made, outstanding leaders in the grocery industry said "The thirteen brands of soap and twenty three brands of breakfast foods which do only twenty per cent of the annual gross business of their class must be discarded or else their sales must be stimulated." Millions of dollars are tied up in independent grocery stores and in the wholesale outlets which serve them. The men who stand behind these enterprises have thrown down a challenge to the chains and have declared, "We are not going out of business." However, the chain stores have taught the consuming public to pay cash for merchandise and carry it home, and they have taught us to serve ourselves thereby eliminating some of the expense of clerk hire. These and other ideas are being rapidly incorporated into the present system of retail selling outside of the chain field. Not only that, but independent retail merchants are grouping themselves to do large scale buying in order to meet the price competition of the chains. Such groupings as the Buy-rite Association, the Clover Farms Association, the Red and White Stores, the Serve-U-Well Stores, and the Independent Grocers' Alliance are examples of this method of meeting the new situation. While all of this has been going on what has the Negro retailer been doing? Of one thing, I am certain, and that is he has not been studying this situation, and now he is forced with the urgent necessity of hastily reorganizing his methods in order to stay in business. The reason for this is obvious and bitterly true. As a group, we have neglected the retail field and thereby sacrificed the greatest opportunity which has been open to us to gain economic independence. Our brightest boys have been sent into the medical profession or the class room. Others have received degrees, and finding no desk jobs awaiting them, have gone into railroad and hotel service rather than get their hands soiled with flour and board. Around our firesides, we have scorned and ridiculed our grocers and small merchants, while our preachers have been coddled and have grown fat. Not six months ago a survey was made among 120-odd men in one of our universities. Sixty-nine of them said they planned to be doctors, thirty-odd have selected the ministry, while only eleven wanted to go into business. A thousand Negroes will spend their money to attend a Supreme Lodge of the Sons and Daughters of Jehovah in order to march down the streets with gay coloration, while two will attend a meeting to discuss overhead costs, stock control, salesmanship or advertising. A hundred and fifty will go to a frat dance, while one will go with pad and pencil to hear an address by Dr. Julius Klein. We tolerate these faulty ratios and then wall at our economic plight, apparently, unmindful of the fact that we are living in a country where business is the basis of its existence and the glorification of its achievement. While on the subject of the white man's business methods, let us apply some of his methods of analysis and inventory to our own economic situation here in America. Our insurance companies represent the highest development of Negro business, and in that field we turn over, approximately, annually thirty-five million dollars and employ ten thousand people. The next largest group is employed by our hair dressing and beauty goods manufacturers, headed by such organizations as Poro College and the Madam Walker Company. In the beauty business, we turn over, approximately, twenty million dollars each year and give employment to ten thousand more people. Now, let us add to this group the teachers in our schools, the doctors, the merchants, the ministers, the social workers, the heads of our fraternal organizations and their staffs of secretaries, treasurers, and field workers, etc., and we have, approximately, eighty-five thousand jobs. Now we are going to allow fifteen thousand more for errors and omissions, making a total of one hundred thousand white collar jobs which we have provided for our own. Add to this letter carriers, railway postal clerks, and other employees under the federal government that would be classed under the white collar group, and we have, approximately, twenty-five thousand more. There are about four million Negro adults who have to become bread Friday, August 9, 1929 winners for themselves and for eight million others. Four and one-half million would be safer as an estimate, but for purposes of easy compilation, we are sticking to the four million. The one hundred thousand Negro-created white collar jobs mean that there is available only one such job for every forty Negro adults. This also means that we are carrying only two per cent of our own labor load. The number of white collar jobs available for Negroes in white organizations is negligible, and for the present, there is little hope of increasing the number. Therefore, we must look around in our own race and see what there is that we may do. The recent survey of Negro business by the National Negro Business League shows that the race is very much under-organized in the retail merchandising field, and those who are engaged in retail business are suffering because of the factors of chain store competition which I have described and for lack of support. Let us again look at some facts. Based upon reliable cost-of-living figures, it is conservatively estimated that for food and clothing the Negro spends annually something like four billion, five hundred million dollars ($4,500,000,000). If all of these products or their equivalent in the trade of other racial groups were handled by Negroes through wholesale and retail channels, there would be created overnight for the Negro four hundred thousand jobs as a part of our frontal attack to break through the economic deadline which we are facing today. How ware we going to do it? Already a small beginning has been made. In Montgomery, Alabama, a dozen Negro grocers faced with vanishing customers and silent cash registers, organized last August, for the purpose of buying cooperatively, advertising cooperatively, and selling at uniform prices. They called their organization the Colored Merchants Association and decided to operate their stores as C. M. A. Stores. Immediately business picked up, and their sales jumped from thirty to fifty per cent. With the cooperation of the National Business League this idea has been carried to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where thirty-five' Negro grocers are enrolled and operating as C. M. A. Stores. The Business League is endeavoring to spread this cooperative idea to at least twenty-five cities during the next twelve months and making our plans for this expansion of the C. M. A. Stores, we have the wholehearted support of the wholesale grocers—a situation which must be instantly distinguished as a new and important point of contact and cooperation for Negro business. If this project succeeds, it will mean at least a thousand more jobs for Negroes in the next two years. We hope the Negro druggists, Negro dry goods stores, as well as other retailers will follow the example of the grocers. There is no other way, at the present time and with America's present set-up of business, for Negro business to survive. And right here, I am going to give our druggists a solemn and serious warning. Already some of the large chain stores located in Negro neighborhoods, and the experiment has so far been a success. Some of these chains are invading the South and should they decide to move to southern Negro communities with Negro clerks and pharmacists, that competition is going to be stiffer and more severe than the grocers have experienced since Negro clerks are not as a rule employed in white grocery stores in the South. Negro druggists should, therefore, accept this warning and join forces in some sort of co-operative union to the end that their business may be preserved under Negro management and control. As founder and first president of the National Negro Business League, the late Booker T. Washington urged the business men of our race to study and employ the best methods in the conduct of their enterprises. The same doctrine has been preached by his successor, Dr. Moton. As long as fifteen years ago, the Business League advocated cooperative buying among Negro retailers. The advice was unheeded, so our business, men were caught napping when the chain stores hit them. Now that we are awake, let us work fast and effectively. As indicated at the beginning of this paper, merchandising is in a more or less fluid state during the present period of adjustment and reorganization. If Negro business hustles, it can get in now; if we wait until the system solidifies again, may God help us! Let us then meet the situation, frankly. Let us first begin at the fireside and in the school room by telling our children the plain truth. I saw a motto in a school room the other day which said, "Ability plus opportunity means success." That's a dehilation and a lot of bunk as long as we are not able to produce more than two per cent of the opportunities for our child en. More retail business and better retail business should be the slogan of our race for the next ten years. At present the mat power in Negro retail business is atrunked in training by the similar group among white people and by many other lines of business in which the Negro is engaged. That condition must be remedied as the second step in the program. In a third and final step in this program, we must begin seriously to talk up Negro business; we must organize local groups of our business men to study bads tendencies and (Continued on Page Five) SOUTH LOS ANGELES NEWS---- Friday, August 9, 1929 GRANT CHAPEL A.

The human will is the greatest of all man's forces. It is this will that places him above all living things of earth. The plants, the birds, and the beast of the forest are controlled by the Great-Will and man's. The will is a power of itself. It controls thought and action. Weak willmed men are little better than the animal, if a monkey had a will-force, he would be a man's and a man with an undeveloped will is little better than monkey. Three basic fundamentals of our civilization are; religion, science, and arts. Religion is man's understanding, or desire to understand his creator God. Science is understanding of the earth and the forces around and therin. Art the word art covers many things, not only is there art in painting and sculptoring. Art is present in every handicraft of man. Whether it is sweeping with a broom, running a machine of some kind of other, or controlling a gigantic industry the art of doing that certain task is there. Physically and mentally all men are the same. The color of a skin is caused by climatic conditions. The only thing that really affects man is his enviromenors. His skin itself in every age but on a higher plin of thought, wrought through the discovery of a new material force.

AX. 457 Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The thoughts of men have struggled through centuries of difficulty to freedom from traditional autocracies, grim superstitions and ignorant fears. These tyrants laid heavy hands on human progress, but from some of them we are now delivered, and to that extent have taken into our own hands the shaping of our destinies. But there is no great gain without some loss, and our new-found freedom has its penalties. We are on our way, but we are far from certain where we are going. The passing of the overlordship of ancient error has permitted the multiplication of new prophets and theories and codes, whose name is Legion and whose consequence is confusion. Standards we must have if we are to live at peace or make war intelligently, and the substitution of countless individual codes for the simple arrogance of old autocracy is not the proper fruit of progress. Freedom from error should make the way clear for Truth, whose laws are absolute, eternal and of universal application. When the divided loyalties of the world rally to such a standard and serve it with even a fraction of the energy that is now spent on inconsequence, deliverance will be complete and the land of promise at hand.

But the tremendous increase in knowledge during the last half century led first to the necessity for selection and later to the discovery that such selection would inevitably guide the future into one course or another. It was proved by experience that education can mold a nation or a race just as surely as an individual can train himself fo rone profession or another. The world, which had once been content with the haphazard consequences of an education that looked chiefly backward, was brought face to face with a definite responsibility to the future. We now know so much about training men that we need to know definitely what we are to train them for. We need to determine surely what is worth while and what is important, since our notions o nthese matters will prove either a blessing or a burden to the generations that follow us. If we are content today with confusion of purposes and ideals, our children will pay the penalty. With the increase in new knowledge there comes a new responsibility to the future, since we know beyond peradventure that its destiny lies largely in our hands.

This uneasy conscience speaks through the printing press. In books we hear the world's confession of faith and of lack of faith, its ideals, doubts and self-confidence, its loyalty to old states and high hopes for future ones. Here the world judges its own past and prophesies its own future. Acquaintance with the more serious books of the day reveals some clear trends of the times.

It offers many promises of remedies for the world's ills and a strange assortment of doctrines for a new and handsome civilization. It reveals moments of doubt, reaction and even despair. It is curious to note that these anxieties are typical, not of maturity, but of verdant and fervent youth. The uneasy conscience of the world is a mark of its own youthfulness. If the books of the day are so many signs and symptoms, then it appears that civilization is indeed scarce grown to manhood and must yet have a lot of nonsense knocked out of it.

Guess that we will get used to it after a couple days of baking. There seems to be a dearth of political news. Nothing much doing. The Governor is still studying the transcript of the Moony case, but there does not seem to be any chance of his giving a decision for some months. Oh yes! It is rumored that Keith Carlin, executive secretary to the Governor has decided to resign. As he attends to all of the legal matters that come before the executive it is not probable that his resignation will take effect before the decision in the Moony case. There has been considerable criticism of some of the appointments made by the Governor. There is any number of his past adherents who are disgruntled and if one but keeps his eyes open and his ears alert the whirr of the political grindstone can be heard and any number of his axes, being tested at the sharpened edge, seen. It cannot be graised but that C. C. Young has made one of the most efficient executives California has had in decades. His past experience as legislator has stood well in the re-organization of the state government departments. He has succeeded in surrounding himself with a class of men who have made their mark in private life and now are serving the state at personal sacrifice. CALIFORNIAN MEETS BRIDE IN AFRICA (Continued from Page One) with roaring rivers and washed out the unsubstantial bridges.

Whitmore, present private secretary to the governor, was to be promoted to the post as director of the division of Building and Loans there was any amount of approval from the personnel of that branch of the state's business.

He is an honored member of the 'Fourth Estate.' "An editor whose opinions have weight in moulding political opinion. As expressed by a member of one of San Francisco's biggest and most reliable firms." The appointment of Whitmore to the post of director of building and loans will be an assurance that every angle of the business will be honestly administered, and every complaint have a courteous hearing. Guess the Governor will hate to lose him, but his loss will be our gain. We hear so much about what "the Negro needs" that we sometimes believe that he is the most "needful" creature in existence. As the late Bert Williams would say, "He needs! he needs! From overcoat in to his most innermost garment out." Yet in spite of all the unnecessary advice, given by inexperienced persons, he (the Negro) seems to be plodding along with his eye on the ultimate goal; financial independence. There he is showing splendid wisdom: And what we contend is the most needful thing today are finance builders: Leaders who can lay the foundations for business success. A glance at the programme as outlined for the meeting of the Negro National Business League convening at Indianapolis, Ind., the subjects to be discussed and the personnel of the speakers, Negro and white, constrains us to believe that we are awakening to the fact that this earth was created for man to live on. That the old saying, "You may have all this world; give me Jesus!" was an innoculation of spiritualism encouraged for the purpose of diverting the mind from the more practical and material of things which enable peoples to rise from depths of degradation and the slough of despondency. Men and women are content to live in the slums and alleys; content to ignore all of the finer things of life; just as long as they were content to subordinate them to "their spiritual good." They were content to live in the most primitive manner and contribute their meager earnings to the building of fine temples of worship (and were encouraged by the preahers) until the younger generation threw off the yoke and commenced to place spirituality on a plane with materialism. * * * * * Lyd Williams was mayor of Gary, Ind., and, Now, sad to relate, Williams was one of the Gary School scandal.

Mr. Floyd Williams was mayor of Gary, Ind., and aspired to re-election. Now, sad to relate, Williams was one of the chief factors in the Gary School scandal. He favored the strike of the white students of a high school who demurred the attendance of Negro scholars. He advocated the segregation of schools, otherwise known as "Jim Crow" schools. His attitude greatly encouraged the propaganda of separate schools for the races. One thing: The Negro voters did not forget his demeanor toward them and, in spite of his $10,000 "Hope Chest" voted, practically, as a unit to encompass his defeat. They succeeded: Although it is aledged that some of the professional politicians pleaded that his sin of commission be overlooked. The ballot is a potent weapon and when used rightly has a very beneficial effect. The American Federation of Labor has taken a hand in the fight of the textile workers of the South for better working conditions and living wages. That strike has had a tendency to unite the workers of the South without regard to creed, color or nationality. One of the spokesmen for the president of the A. F. L. said, "The A. F. L. has planted its flag there, and there it is going to stay, no matter what the price may be, no matter who pays it. Naturally: It is expected that such characters as Cole Blease would oppose any measure or move made for the betterment of humanity. The South Carolina senator is quoted as saying, "There is no place in South Carolina for Northern organizers." He terms them "parasites" and says further that, "South Carolina from governor to plow-boy or doffer in the mill have pride, and believe that South Carolinans are capable of handling affairs of South Carolina. * * * * * affairs of any community are handled by the type of Blease progress will be very guiloutined.

Just as long as the fire as fanned; just so long was the progress facial antagonisms have, heretofore, be When the affairs of any community are handled by such demagogues of the type of Blease progress will be menacled and humanity guillotined. The workers of the textile industry, as well as workers in all industries of the South have been exploited for years past. White workers as well as Negro workers have suffered by want of organization. It is the sign of drawing intelligence among the toilers of the nation when they realize the necessity of obligating antipathies and band themselves for the common good. Just as long as the fires of racial prejudice was fanned; just so long was the progress of labor retarded. *Racial antagonisms have, heretofore, been the obstacles confronting labor's progress. It was the Genii which lulled the laborer in the lethargic sleep from which he is just awakening. It is to be expected that the Barons of industry who have fattened on exploited labor will do everything possible to prevent any unification of employees that will have a tendency to arouse a spirit of industrial independence. William Green, president of the A. F. L. speaking before a meeting of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in New York said: "It has been my privilege to be associated with labor all my life. I know what it is to toil, to suffer and struggle. I know the experience that comes from defeated hopes and I know the thrill that comes when success is realized. I know about it all. I have gone through it all, and I think that by that experience I know the heart of American labor. Knowing the heart of labor as represented by the American Federation of Labor, I can truthfully say to this audience this afternoon that I know that the heart of labor beats in sympathy with these colored workers who are trying to improve their conditions in life." . . . "The Federation of Labor has been interested in the beginning in all classes of men and women. It laid down as one of the fundamental bases upon which it stood and announced this great principle that there should be no discrimination upon the part of organized labor against any working man or woman on account of his or her creed, color or nationality."

CALIFORNIAN MEETS BRIDE IN AFRICA (Continued from Page One) with roaring rivers and washed out the unsubstantial bridges. The road was unpaved, sometimes it was rocky, through swamps, it crossed the streams on bridges made of bamboo lashed together with vine. The jungle rose like a wall at both sides. Usually twenty miles of the trip had to made afoot. "I didn't want to like Lorenze," she says, "but he was very kind and then when his kindness to me had attracted my attention I could not help noticing how very much alone he was. He told me that he lived mostly on pork and beans. On Christmas day at the one American boarding house they served pork and beans for dinner while I was enjoying the contents of numerous chop boxes from hope filled with candy, cakes, and nuts. When I was sick in Monrovia he used to bring me ice, which was much more precious than the flowers and he would drive the doctor out to see me. You know those doctors won't leave their offices to see a patient unless they are called for. Later when he was so very sick I was again impressed with his loneness. "Out there death is so common that the natives accept it casually. People often dies before the seriousness of the particular attack is realized. For five days he was literally burning up with fever and there was no one to attend him.

"Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Francis were very friendly to both of us," she said, her eyes filling with tears, "Lorenz used to refer to him as the chief for in the Location Lorenz worked under Mr. Francis, who was the American Minister resident. Now Mr. Francis is dead, victim of yellow fever." Miss Morris stayed for eight more months, leaving completely incapacitated only after Miss Williamson had returned to Africa and notified the secretary of the board, Dr. J. E. East, 701 South 19th Street, Philadelphia, of her alarming condition. Neither of the young people knew what their reactions would be in the staring flash of electric lighted civilization. Would the moon shine as kindly in New York where Graham was studying at Columbia University, as it had in Africa, would God seem as near in the little zinc chapel had in the little zinc chapel where the men dared no doff their tropical helmets for fear of sunstroke? The answer has been announced by the parents of Miss Morris. The union will be celebrated in Richmond, Va., on August 20th. The Atlantic will meet the Pacific. Baptist will be joined to Methodist. The bride's father will officiate and the groom's father will assist. The bride's nationally known orator, will give her brother, Charles Satchel Mcann, Jr., in marriage and the groom's sister, Shirley Graham-McCann, nationally known lecturer on Negro music will sing "Say Not To Me" an original song written by the groom for his bride. Mr. Morris is head of the English Department at Virginia Institute and Mrs. McCannis is head of the Music Department at Morgan College. Graham is remembered in member Upson Center of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and as president of the Young Citizen's Republican Club which was active in the Coolidge campaign of 1921. Miss Morris has never been in the far west but the couple will visit friends in Pacific Coast cities soon after the wedding. After their tour they will be at home to any of their many friends who might care to call in Mourovia, Liberia. ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT OF DAUGHTER Mrs. Cain Luckey, 5208 So.

TEMPLER Specializing in Women's Diseases and Obstetrics [NOTE: Please address all inquiries concerning this column to Dr. Ruth J. Temple, 803 E. 22n1 St., Phone, HU. 3419 or VA. 1221.1] (Continued from Our Last Issue) The Sorrows of Child-Bearing Can Be Decreased. In or before the year 1847 in certain place in Europe, and under certain condition approximately one mother out of 10 died in childbirth. The doctors concerned became greatly alarmed over this tremendous death rate and began to investigate and study. The result of their wonderful work was to greatly decrease the mortality and improve the condition of delivery. Today doctors and laymen should be alarmed in a similar manner at the high death rate each year of maternity-cases, and begin as did the people of 1847 to DO SOMETHING about it. You would be surprised dear reader to know how much of the suffering, sorrow and death which attends child bearing, could be eliminated altogether or greatly decreased by intelligent cooperation of mothers, fathers and physicians. I always put the cooperation of the father in, because it is practically impossible for a mother to give herself proper care without the earnest devoted interest and attention of her husband. One of the first and foremost factors for reducing the death rate and the life long sufferings which accompany and follow the birth of children is early care of the mother. Just last week I saw two cases which illustrated the fact that prenatal care or care before baby comes is of the greatest importance. Every day physicians are being called in to see pregnant cases which are in a very serious condition due to some adenment which could have been prevented by early and thorough prenatal care. HIGHTOWER NOT TO HANG Continued from page one The defendant's plea of not guilty by reason of insanity was withdrawn on Monday, July 29, and a 'motion out of compliance with the insistent desire of the defendant himself, for a new trial was made at that time. The motion was argued and overruled last Monday, and sentence carries with it five years to life. It is believed that Hightower, with his exceptionally fine mind, can reflect, study, and readjust himself; and after four or five years, return to society as a useful citizen and father. AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION HAS LISTED CORED MEMBERS Attorney Leon Whitaker, received notice last Friday that he had been elected as a member of the American Bar Association; and that he has been accorded the full privileges of membership. The action of the American Bar Association, in the light of rumored pretudes, is a pleasant surprise. It is in considerable contrast to the attitude of the Los Angeles Bar Association, which, in the face of high recommendation from Judges, 'acultures' the chairman of the Junior Los Angeles Bar Association, and after seven months of consideration, in adherence to a color policy, voted "no" on Attorney Whitaker's candidacy for membership. ON BEING CONCEITED (Bv CARL ECHOLS) It is said that Victor Hugo felt his own importance so intensely that seriously suggested to intimate friends that the native of his native country, France should be changed to Victor Hirsch (Not very modest, eh?) Speaking of his famous "Critique of Pure Reason," Kant reminds the reader that the book covers every metaphysical problem. Said Kant: "In this book * * * I venture to maintain that there ought not to be one single metaphysical problem that has not been solved * * * or to the solution of which the key at least has not been supplied." (Probably this egotism accounts for much of the success of this world renowned thinker.) It is quite obvious that great men and women of this world were possessed of a sufficient supply of self-confidence. This self appreciation (call it egotism if you wish) may not have always expressed itself in bomb, houghtiness, or dictativeness, but it would not require much reading of their biographies to detect the strong trait of SELF-CONFIDENCE! Once while Caesar was crossing the Rubicon, a storm arose. The boats were threatened with sudden detractions from the enemy, panic, but the self reliant and dainteless Roman reminded his warriors that the boats not only bore the rank and file, but—JULIUS CAESAR! (I cannot imagine the conquering Caesar speaking about the world of men afraid to claim his own body and Friday, August 9, 1929 soul.) The Gentle Nazerene was the most unassuming of men, but if you think He lacked a wholesome self-confidence, read the Gospels! Any person who has a strong degree of self respect is sure to express the same in his speech and action. And timid, negative creatures are quite timid to exclaim, "I'm not she conceived?" My, but hasn't be the swell head;" and so forth, and so on. Modesty is a desirable trait, but fear to speak ones conviction is not modesty. Hump-shoulders do not necessarily indicate humbleness of mind and spirit. Many blushing scars no longer the courage to hold his dental upon that ground deny inwardly the same individuals may be most conceived and tyrannical. On the other hand, a person may be quite sure of himself, even a bit assertive and still be genuinely humble of heart. ODD FELLOWS CLOSE MEMOR ABLE' GRAND LODGE SES- SION Continued from page one bers of the Grand Lodge will be the guests of the Chamber of Commerce on Friday for a sight-seeing trip over the city. Snap Shots of the Convention Toney Love, the farmer from the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, was a prominent figure at all times during the session. James Sims of Tulare, is the unencroached hero; in bringing about the acquisition of the Odd Fellows' home. The session of the Odd Fellows which had to do with the Odd Fellows' home was one of the most inspiring which it has ever been our lot to witness. As the Churchman would say—the spirit was there in abundance. Mrs. L. J. Williams, of Vallejo, who is the treasurer of the Peter Ogden Benefit Association for the Household of Ruth, is also one of the biggest assets for that body. She is a booster of the first rank and known to rally her forces from Vallejo when most needed. We look for results from the session just closed, for it was void of political chicanery from start to finish. J. L. Derrick, who very ably represented his lodge from San Francisco, is not only a hearty Odd Fellow, but an honored member of the Fourth Estate. He is associate editor of the California Voice. A. B. Caviel, secretary-treasurer of the Endowment Department is one of the busy men of the session. J. C. Rivers, live-wire from the north, was a prominent figure at the session. W. B. Brown, of Portland, traveled by far the greatest distance to be present at the Grand Session. Mr. Brown is a live wire. A party of tourists from Houston. Texas, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Burt F. Teyler, Mrs. Georgia Roland, Mrs. Nettie Williams and children and little Miss Retta Stone, are visiting their relative, Mrs. Ruby Towles and their good friends Dr. and Mrs. Chas. S. Jackson. They are also seeing and renewing friendly ties with many other former Houston friends. Mr. Taylor has been in the jewelry business in Houston for many years but are nowivoting his time to his recently acquired holdings. Los Angeles may soon claim them as part-time residents or at least count them investors in some of its substantial busness activities. MY ADVICE (By DORIS) My advice in doing things is to buckle right down and do your lot whatever it is. If is is something you like, or would like to see done well, DO it yourself. Don't look around for help, and don't have others do your task in the world because where there is a will, there is a way. Whatever you undertake to do, do it right. If you want to be something in life or make something of yourself, and anything to work for--don't sit down and wish or pine just walk your straight and narrow path. Then when the time comes you can stand up and say I made myself whit I am. I have given the best I had and I expect the best to come back to me. The Negro Girl. Why not be different? There is no time to waste nowadays. We girls should forget this society stuff and get down to business. If half of the girls of today stopped this foolish play, the Negro world would rapidly increase its business facilities and become a richer and stronger race. Now to make it so we will have to go as far as possible in education; take up more professional work in the future than we have in the past. We have been at the bottom long enough, we must rise and take our place in the front rank with these girls of other races and thus prove what a Negro girl can do. How about it girl? Think it over and get busy! NOTICE The Macedonia Baptist Church, will give a chicken dinner on Labor Day, September 2, 1929, at 1750 E. 114th street. A musical program will be given in the evening.

Dahs whah de cotten, corn, and sweet potatoes grow Dahs whah de birds warble sweet in de springtime" Dahsi whah dis ole darkey's haht does long to go." THOUGHTS CHICAGO-WARD Having crossed the great Salt Lake, the steady puffing of the engine, fed by faithful firemen; watched over and guided by seasoned engineers; we trust our lives in their hands and ere the twilight falls, enter the land of Ogden. A vast open country, shrubberry, rocks and the level plains. The nearness of the mountains, each vein rises up, hard, clear-cut and grey. The small patches of snow in the crevices makes one wonder how they can resist the scorching rays of the desert sun. Nearer and nearer the mountains seem and then the darkness of night is suddenly on us, broken however, by the touching of a button, flooding in an abundance of white light. The roar of the engine doubles back on our ear drums. The smoke pervades, more noticeably so, shutting off the least ripple of a breeze. In all, through all, over all, the heat of the desert sun enclosed, intensified by that of the fiery furnace prevails. So vein after vein of the great range of the Rocky Mountains means the passing through of tunnel after tunnel until we come to the open valley of the Missouri River. ```markdown ``` Our thoughts turn Chicago-ward as we think of the end of the trail. No definite picture in mind somehow just the thoughts of Chicago recalled to mind Chicagooans I had met in our own big city; brisk, breezy and boastful people secure in their opinion that Chicago, of all places on the globe was THE PLACE. I thought of a big place of skyscrapers and smoking stacks, of fast moving vehicles, greyness of skies, smoke here, there and everywhere on everybody and everything. Of lines of grey-white dingy smoked clothes. Of a general hustle-bustle elbowing through crowds, of a city of hidden secrets. I never liked smoke or grey, heavily laden skies; therefore no exultation of spirit was on me as our train seeming to sense that it was nearing its destination, puffed and blowed and spat great columns of fire and smoke in joy, of the home-sick, weary traveler, on nearing home. Chicago the city built on cow paths! In years of Indian Chiefs and ancient tribes it was the far, far West, there was nothing West of Chicago day, day, day. The image native, there isn't much either East or West of this art portraits. Following the ancient line of thought; in 1871 the city had already started on its strides toward great development. Built on, up and around the farming industry; that cow was in the midst of all that meant progress and—destruction. The story goes that in that same year, while being milked of her treasures, one meek and lowly cow, perhaps peeved that no greater return or thanks was ever given her except her board and lodging, suddenly decided to kick against such injustice. In doing so she overturned the oil lamp that set the barn on fire. The gale that swept over the city at that hour caught up the flames in mischievous delight, whirling, blowing and playing with them in devilish frenzy. The fire leaped, soared, ran and cackled as it swallowed up about a third of the property of the city. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened Negro Seeks Wealthy White Bride (By: A. N. P.) New York, July 6—What promises to show more sensations than either the Rhinelander case or the shooting of Jeff Blount over a white woman was revealed here Friday when police were asked to trace the whereabouts of pretty Dorores Elizabeth Ford Newton, the white heiress to $20,000,000, who married Eugene Newtn, a colored employee of a Harlem cabaret. The young woman, an accomplished musician, the daughter of William Ford, multimillionaire glass manufacturer of Toledo, Ohio was married to Newton in Newark, N. J., on November 13, last. The marriage certificate stated at the time that she was colored, but her blonde hair, the other attributes of the Nordic race, belied her statement. No question was raised at that time. The newest romance is a product of Harlem's gay night life. No one knows just how Newton met his wife, no one knew of the romance save a few intimate friends of the woman. However, Friday, the girl's father arrived in town and took his daughter, some say, to Toledo, some say to Montana, wherever they went, Newton wants to find them. Harrassed by detectives, he thinks are employed by Ford, Newton is in hiding at the home of friends near Long Beach, L. I. Each night he telephones Harlem to learn newest developments in the case. "I'm going to Doloares back," he said in statement to the press, "I've been in touch with her mother. If necessary, I'm going west to find her. Her father has stolen her, but he can't get away with that, whether I'm colored or white, because Dolores wanted to be my wife as much as I wanted her." However, a few days ago, Newton declared that he had given his wife permission to leave. Last Saturday night, Newton visited Tom Garrett, a hypnotist, in the latter's room at 231 West 70th Street, in search of information that might help him to find Mrs. Newton. A few weeks ago, Miss Ford, or Mrs. Newton, fell in love with Louis DeMatti, who shares Garrett's room with him, and to whom the hypnotist affectionately refers as "my ward," and eloped with him to Montreal. After DeMatti's money gave out, the pair returned to New York. Newton wanted to know more about this affair, but refuses to tell how he learned of DeMatti or Garrett. Although Mrs. Elizabeth Simpkinson Ford, the girl's mother who has been divorced from Ford for sixteen years, has said that she doesn't believe her daughter is the wife of a colored man, but friends of Dolores in New York insist that she has long known of the match, "Newton telephoned to her in Cincinnati and to her himself," one of the Ford girl's friends said, "She told us all that he did." White journals are seeking to place other construction on the case. They declare that the girl is a victim of "hypnotism," but it was not until after her marriage to the colored man that she visited any hypnotist. One goes so far as to say that the present Mrs. Newton is not the daughter of the millionaire, but another Dolores Ford, in as much as there are "thousands of Fords in America." Mrs. Ford; the girl's mother, is very proud of her daughter's musical accomplishments and states through the "Daily Mirror," a Hearst publication, that "a terrible wrong had been done the girl by coupling her name with that of a colored cabaret manager." The whole affair is another mixed up romance which time will untangle with the roles reversed in this instance, Newton, the man playing the role Alice Jones played in the Rhineland case. CUTS WIFE; GETS FIVE YEARS (BY: A. N. P.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 4—While college, Washington, Independence Day, John H. Carter became angry with his wife, Luella, and slashed her with a knife. Tuesday morning he pleaded guilty to the cutting in Judge Jennings Bailey's court, and was sentenced to serve five years in prison. HARLEM RENTS STILL HIGH DESPITE LAW Wholesale charges that landlords and real estate agents are paying no heed to the emergency rent measure passed by the Board of Aldermen and are insistent in their demands for higher rents, are being made by colored folk of Harlem. Many cases of families earning small wages have been forced to pay exhorbitant increases are related. Hundreds of tenants, unmindful that they legal redress, are meeting the situation the best they can, while others are fighting the raise by appealing to the courts and depositing the amounts acceptable to the landlord prio to the expiration of the State-Emergency Rent Laws. During the past two weeks, 1,255 cases have been brought into the 7th District Municipal Court, and majority of which were instituted by colored Harlemites. In many instances, rents have been increased from $35 to $65 per month over what the tenant formerly paid. In new houses erected within the past six months, rents are scandalous, two rooms bringing as high as $55 per month. The rates usually run, one room, kitchenette and bath, (the kitchenette being only a small alcove in the large room) $45 to $50 per month; three rooms $50 to $70; four rooms $60 to $85; and so on, until some of the apartments with seven, eight, and more rooms bring anywhere from $110 to $160 per month. The Women's Aid Society of Harlem and the Harlem Lawyers Association are volunteering their services to protect tenants against exploitation by colored and avaracious Jewish landlords and agents.

A party of men who were in the courthouse yard recaptured him. It was Davis' second escape from the local jail. Watches Still for Friend Fined Fifty Dollars Because his obliquely nature compelled him to abandon a planned fishing trip in order to watch a still for a friend, Henry Randall must pay a fine of $50.00, Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson, Jr., rules Tuesday. Randall was indicted jointly with Harry Anderson on a charge of manufacturing liquor. But Tuesday Anderson took the fall, claiming on the witness stand that the still belonged to him alone and that Randall had no interest in ti. With the prospect of acquittal facing him, Randall took the stand to explain how he came to be near the still when officers found it. "I was just passin by, going fishing when Anderson called me and asked me to watch it," he explained, "so I threw my worms away, and watched it." "Did you punch up the fire?" Judge Hutcheson asked. "No sir," was the instant response. "I just watched it like he said." Judge Hutcheson then called Randall's attorney to him and explained that even watching a still constitutes a violation of the law, and that Randall, by admitting that he had watched the still, had declared himself guilty as charged. Randall's attorney, his case lost by his client's garrulous tendencies, immediately withdrew Randall's plea of not guilty and substituted a plea of guilty. Judge Hutcheson gave Randall fifteen days in which to secure money to pay his fine. He sentenced Anderson to serve sixty days in jail, but suspended the sentence for three weeks to allow the Negro time to gather his growing crop. County Jail Prisoners Do Approximately A Quarter Million Dollars Worth of Work in Year That County jail prisoners built approximately one hundred thousand dollars worth of new roads, manufactured forty thousand dollars worth of linen garments, laudred fifty thousand dollars worth of washing, and did other odd-pairs jobs of painting, carpentry, snow mending, etc, during the year, was the recent statement of Sheriff Wm. I. Traeger. "My annual report to the Board of Supervisors, when it is completed, will include an itemized statement showing that the prisoners in my custody did work valued at a little less than a quarter of a million dollars last year," the Sheriff said. "These prisoners have all maintained themselves without cost to the county, and have netted a profit in addition. Furthermore, the employment of the prisoners is the most satisfactory solution of the discipline problem we have ever tried. It has kept the prisoners happier and saved to keep them out of trouble which invariably develops when they are idle. I wish the law allowed us to let all prisoners work." In addition to the road work done by prisoners at the Sheriff's detention camps, 28 women are continually employed in the making of prisoners uniforms, nightgowns, aprons, towels, and bedding material. Other women are engaged in the repair of the clothing worn by the 16,000 inmates who were booked in the County jail during the year. This repair work totaled thousands of socks, uniforms, bed sheets, and the like. In the men's quarters, 988 pairs of shoes were repaired and garments tailored. Dozens of trustees were continuously employed in painting parts of the jail and at odd carpenter jobs. About 30 men are continuously employed in the large jail laundry which is equipped with modern machinery and handles approximately 45,000 pieces of material in a week. The A. B.

Detectives from the West 123rd Street station testified that the jailers room and the hallway outside were answered an alarm. The blast was extinguished. Boston, Mass., Aug. 6. (By The Associated Negro Press). The long time mystery of the murder of Mrs. Eliza J. Brown, 30, and William Stuart, 29, both of Boston, whose bodies were found battered in Lunenberg Woods in November, 1928, is believed by police to have been solved when Thomas L. Cooper, 28, of this city, now serving a term in the Deer Island House of Correction, was accused of the crime. After months of investigating by State Detective Edward J. McCarthy, the case reached a climax Saturday with the arrest of Cooper. Cooper was brought to Boston Police Headquarters and served with a secret indictment warrant by detective McCarthy, and was carried to Worcester, near the scene of the crime, for trial. At the time of the arrest Cooper was serving six months on a charge of receiving stolen property, a charge brought against him by Detective Mc Carthy and Officer Harvey Yates of the Boston police, when the murder investigation centered in Boston. The warrant of indwiedment charges Cooper with murder in the first degree for both slayings. The battered and badly decomposed bodies of the couple were found on November 28, in a thicket off the Boston State road at Lunenberg, by Sergent George L. Eden, who was hunting in the instrict. He first came across Stanart's body and about fifteen paces away he discovered the body of the woman. A description of the clothing of the victims brought relatives from Boston, who had missed the couple for several weeks. Then they were positively identified. At the time of the discovery it was believed the murder took place near where the bodies were found, but it is now hinted that the state will attempt to prove the killing took place at different hours and at different locations. Early information disclosed that both murders had been committed by striking the victims on their heads, later possibilities, however, indicate that Stuart may also have been shot through the head. Seventeen thousand four hundred and fifty buildings were destroyed. Seventy thousand of the three hundred twenty-four thousand citizens were left homeless. However, only 200 actual deaths resulted. Out of its ashes, advertised fully, all over the civilized world by the great Fire, the modern city of Chicago owes its birth and rebirth to the lowly cow who chews her cud more peacefully now, drawing deep breaths of content that she has caused the mall to sit up and take notice. Something of a stir was created among colored people throughout the state at the time of the identification of the couple found in a location where few if any Negroes live. It was believed the pair met foul play at the hands of whites. Young Stuart was well and favorably known here where his brother, Henry, conducts a store at 1023 Tremont Street, Fred Douglas Square. The family came to Boston several years ago from Washington, D. C. Mrs Brown was a married woman, and the mother of three small children and lived in Greenwich Park. 11 New Orleans, La. Ang. 9. (By the Associated Negro Press. Dorothy Williams, 21 years old, complained to police early Saturday morning that she was attacked by three white men in a swastick lot at Market and Richard Streets. She reported that the men first enticed her into an automobile by claiming that they were police. When police approached the vacant lot the men were observed fleeing in their machine. Silver Beach, Big Bathing Contest And Water Carnival, August 17th & 18th Page-Eight TENNIS BASEBALL FOOTBALL TRACK BOXING GOLF Silve "LONG TOM" HAWKINS, A REAL THREAT Hawkins, the long boy from San Diego, whoights George Godfrey at the Olympic next Tuesday night is proving that he must be considered when it comes to speaking of the first class heavyweights in the country. "Long Tom" is one of the tallest fighters in the game today, stancing 6 feet and 4 inches in sock feet. He was born at Shreveport, La., 25 years ago. Hawkins is managed by Fred Mahan and Frank Churchill, the letter being the manager of Tod Morgan. It has only been recently that Churchill acquired an interest in the San Diego heavy. It has been said that Churchill paid about $10,000 smokes for Hawkins and does not think that he will regret it one bit. BOUGHT SIGHT UNSEEN Another interesting complex that enters this buying deal is that Morgan's manager plunked the many bucks without ever seeing him new fighting machine in action. It is evident that Churchill believes in the boy's chances to go to the top because he shoves him right up against the most feared man in the heavyweight class today-George Godfrey and no less. Godfrey will outweigh Hawkins about 20 pounds when they step into the ring to go ten pounds or less Tuesday evening. GOOD RECORD When you just stop and think in comparing the two glances the first thought is to give it to George by a mile over Hawkins, but then when you start going through the old record book and happen to glance over the past and present status of "Long Tom" you have to give him a second thought and believe me it is no burry up thought either. Hawkins has been going like a house affire the last year or so and he has been back to back up his verbal assertions. During his five years of batting he has met most of the top pitches in the game and the only reason that he has not had a fighting contact with more of the boys on the up and up is for the simple reason they would not have anything to do with him and his big fists. For example, right after the Seaharri light in Frisco a week or so ago Hoffman Johnny Haskin an offer to come to the const to meet Churchill's bl bgoy, the Beker Boy wanted none of Hawkins and turned down the offer, saying that he would stay East. Of course Hawkins has lost some bouts, that is to be expected, but the book says that any man that ever beat him and he got a rematch with met his Waterloo and bow. "Long Tom" lost to this very Godfrey in 1928 by a knockout in eight rounds. The old scrape book shows again that for the first five cantos in that battle Hawkins was leading on points. The Black Shadow then began facing the range and he dropped the Marker to batter II. Nine before he went down to him. Hawkins says he now knows it is not so much the start of the battle that counts, but the end. He claims that he is going to start right where he left of when he was leading in fifth round and the end of this battle is going to be just the other way round. WON FROM "BEAR CAT" WRIGHT Churchill's new heavyweight has one upon George. The best that God could do with "Bear Cat" Wright was to gain a draw, while Hawkins holds a ten-round verdict over the Omaha heavy. Wright was giving them all the devil when he first hit the coast and he did not bar any. But the knockout that Hawkins scored and still has them talking to themselves about it is the one hung --- LONG TOM HAWKINS on Neil Cisby at San Berdoo the later part of last year, in the short space of four rounds. Cisby has never been the same since. All in the bey has a very impressive record and should rule at even money at the very least when they tap the gong on the 13th. HESS AND CARTER FIGHT CALLED OFF The 123-pound natural that was due to take place at the Olympic last Tuesday night was called off at the last moment, because of a crop of boils developed by Goldie Hess. When it was first learned that Hess was breaking out with the boils the commission wanted to shore Tony Fortilla up from the semi-windup to the main event to fight Carter, but James Woods would not stand for it and called the night off altogether. The battle will have to be staged some time next month now, as the Olympic is daked up for the remainder of this month. Carter has received several offers up Prisco way, since he arrived here and he may jump up north and fill several dates and then come back next month to take Mr. Hess by the way of no harm. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS. Again, we have to comment on the fight game up in San Bordeo. A couple of weeks ago we remarked that Ontario, a little down in the west end about 20 miles from the Gate City was staling all of Barton's light thunder. And now again the little burg takes away first-class rights that San Bernadino should have. LANGFORD AND ELKS The first natural that Ontario took away from San Bernardino was the Young Sam Langford, Tommy Elks setto. This match would have gone over in a big way in Berdock for two reasons. First it would have made the turstillaries buzz in a way that would not have made madness or set all Sound, San Berdock was the place for the match because Langford sort of makes the Gate City his stumping ground where he is not fighting up north. LANGFORD, ELKS, ADAMS These three boys in a way seem to be holding a 150-pound elimination contest among themselves. Just recently Tommy Elks took Johnny Adams, the Mountain Lion, down the path in a ten round battle that had the fans sitting on the edge of their seat all the way through. And to make the cheese more blading, the Arizona Mex. heat Young Sam Langford a couple of weeks ago to the verdict in ten cantos. Most of these fights have taken place at Ontario during the last month. What I have been trying to bring out is this. By all rights they should have taken place at Bardoe for the simple reason it has a larger fan following to draw from and consequently the house would be in a position to pay the hozers more money. But these boys go to Ontario, a little place out of the way and fight before a much smaller house. There is something wrong with the matchmaking at Bardoe and no less. The matchmaker at the Gate City just the other week offered Johnny Adams the top spot at his club. Just when the match seemed to be on the fire, Adams balks and says that they went him to work for nothing and they will have to raise their gate if they want him to fight. The club refuses to consider Johnny's demand and cancels the match, closing the house for the week the match was due to come off. And now Ontario breaks out with the same match that Berdoo went after. The rub in this affair is that Ontario does with a club less than half the size of Berdoo, what Sau Bernardino cannot. Explain it, if you can? FIRST GOOD MATCH The first good fight in months is going on at the Orange Belt Arena as we go to press. For the fourth time Jimmy Black and Checkie Herman meet to settle their differences. The score now stands two for Herman and one for Black. As we said before Jimmy is one of the best boys at his weight in the country and could be on the up and up if he fought oftener. To date Black has had two battles since the first of the year. How he expects to set to the top at that rate is beyond me. "The boy is any where near himself, he should take Herman with little trouble. GANS AND BAKER FIGHT DRAW Baby Joe Gans and Sargent Summy Baker of New York bought a ten-round draw in New York Tuesday night. From the report, we thought that Gans should have had the duke. He put the Sargent down for a long count early in the battle and was leaden up to the end. Baker put on a last minute rally in the tenth canto and caught the referee's eye for a BAKER STILL GOOD This bout with Gans shows that Sammy is still good enough to give any of them a battle. Most of the experts out West here said that Baker was through after he fought Jackie Fields and was put away. Baker went home in the East and he seems to have taken a new lease on the give and take game. He has fought several times during the past year and has lost none of his recent battles. So far he has staged a successful comeback. He must be coming back and coming back right, if he can hold the clever and hard hitting Gans to a draw, but then the Soldier by always was a fighting piece of humanity and will give them all a run for their GANS MAKING GOOD Baby Joe has been East quite a little while now and is making good financially and otherwise. The East is treating the Young Master pretty. Gans was at one time on the very top and he seems headed that way again. The last battle that he lost was to the present wetterweight champion, Jackie Fields. That was last year and since then he has been in the winning column ever since.

If you miss that famous song it "Walking Around In a Dream" you miss everything. Dick and Slick, that dancing team of the 'two browned skinned boys could grace anybody's floor show and walk away with the entire show. And this is exactly what these two boys are doing.

Jones has a tenor voice that makes Nick Lutze the handsome life guard at Venice gained sweet revenge on Joe Malecwicz, the Utican Panther Wednesday night in the first of Lou Daro's elimination bouts. About 8000 fans saw the handsome beach boy suffer the loss of the first fall and then come back to toss Joe all over the ring with a overhead body slam to capture the second. In gaining the second fall Lutze injured the Panther's arm and Malecwicz had not recovered completely when it was time to step out for the last fall. Sensing the fact that he had the Utican on the go Nick went right after him and threw him for the third them stop doing what they are doing and do something else and that something else is to cock a most attentive ear to him and his warbling. As one of the movie clebrities said he is a singing fool. "I don't know about the fool part, but that baby sure can d'that singing act." Ivy Anderson will be back soon. Curtis and Mildred have worked out a show to be woven around this popular stage star and they predict that it will be better than "Ted Lewis Week."

This is for the benefit of those that come late and for those that have to leave early. When the battle first started Nick rushed out with all the vim and fight any one would want, but Malczewicz soon stoped him with those neck reverse headlock. The Venice beach guird took all kinds of punishment before Joe threw him for the first fall. The Panther had applied about ten of those reverse locks on Lutze and had him drunker than a sailor on shore leave, when he grabs him around the waist and let him have fall that backward bodyslam for the first fall. Nick was not out all together, but he was to weak to fight back. Joe Out Smarted The way I tab those two falls was this, Lutze simpley out thought the clever Joe. When they came out for the second fall Nick was wrestling in a most indifferent manner and I think Joe thought he had not recovered from that bodyslam. Crys came from all over the house for the Life Guard to do some wrestling, but Lutze knew what he was doing and took his time. After 17 minutes of torried wrestling the bronze giant caught the Panther around the body and let him have it right on the neck from about six feet. He caught him on the rebound and let him have more of the same. And that was all for that fall. As stated before Joe fell all over him self when Nick let him drop, he injured his arm and he was still groggy when the gong, sounded for the last fall. Lutze wasted no time and went right after Malcewicz's arm. He pinned him with a arm siccors hold in no time. The house went wild when the match was over. It seemed as if the whole house was for the handsome boy from Venice way. ...it was a great battle. Dick Daviscount and George Kotseosen the Greek movie star from Hollywood wrestled a hectic hour to a draw. ee TE ae oe ER GAT REE MRAM IER I eee pe ere F fe reey er Pee re is Te Oe EAE Te, gs PSs MEd De Ol geen PP re ae FE MSN Pet 7A EY ee Vea A aan en pate 4 WS PV, SL IRA PE On GN ae Pe) eT eee Le IeD oy NS ret pr hn t ; VA MAY of j AEN EA REA HE 9 ery AEM PL Ws ET ee 1 ies WEA Us ere Wee ERI IG Beene / a Anke A A PI) LO MRSS LA ae b BIN EA A I AOA eg ea ta Aa a tLe Le or ca Diff Va ed ge ENS Ce A iaciofer Ne My if Ne ag tie al Pointe Toad nro 4 eR Neola J fo of Fah hi AES a a Friday, August 9,.1929 —y— CHAS.

HAVE YOU PURCHASED A LAMP. POST?—WEST SIDE SOCIETY MATRON STARTS NEW FAD If you have not bought and peid for a lemppost yet, you're behind the times. The very latest fad is a new game called “Collision” was originated by Mrs. Bessie Davis, popular Wes! Side society matron, and wife of Por- ter L. W. Davis lest week, when on her way down to meet hutby she had an argument wit’ a concrete lamp. ‘post at the corner of Jefferson and Reymond avenue. Mrs. Davis was making fairly good time in her power. ful big six Studebaker, when the lamp post at Raymond avenue called her car a vile name. It being 2 high-class car with plenty of nerve, it wifully, and deliterstely assaulted Mr. Lamp- post and broke it in two pleces. ‘The fight was explained to the City, and the city told Mrs. Devis that the lamp post belonged to her, and if she 60 desired she could put her name upon ft. The cost however for this most signal honor would be a mere two. hundred dollars. Now Mr. Davis hav- ing once been in tke undertaking and embalming business back im the City of Topeka, Kansas, looked at the dong lamp-post with an eye for business, and do not be surprised if you see it rejuvenated in some form or another in front of dis numerous courts on W. 35th street. Two hundred bucks {s a lot of jack to give to the city after greasing its mits for a storm drain that draws water instead of carrying it eff. By the way, my friend Davis was quite’ man when he was youns- ster back in Kansas. He even de longed to the fire depertment, engine house No. 3. He is a rather modest creature now and does not like to talk atout his past. Mrs. Davis must have got this new fad of the lamp-post im Hosotlula, having lately returned from an extensive visit in that region; but all in all we are glad to say that Mrs. ‘Davis was not injured, and the fad of buy a lamp-post, and name it after yourself has been established. ‘THE HAND WRITING ON THE WALL Once in a while the Railroad Clat ter bas a vision, the ons that came before it this week was this: Mr. L. ‘A.
