California Gives Hon. Oscar DePriest Big Ovation GREAT ACCLAMATION IS TENDERED CONGRESSMAN OSCAR DePRIEST GREAT ACCLAMATION IS TENDERED CONGRESSMAN OSCAR DePRIEST Beyond peradventure or any question of a reasonable doubt, the arrival of Congressman Oscar DePriest in this city on last Sunday was the occasion of the greatest demonstration ever accorded a member of our group in the history of Los Angeles. Outside of the occasion when the soldiers entrained for service overseas in the late World War, the greatest crowd composed of members of our group gathered at the depot to greet this statesman on his arrival on the Owl over the Southern Pacific Railroad. Promptly at 8:50 A. M. he alighted and was greeted by the Editor and Managing Editor of the California Eagle, reinforced by the Reception Committee headed by the Hon. F. M. Roberts, the General Committee, headed by L. G. Robinson, the Advisory Committee, headed by Dr. H. C. Hudson and the Women's Committee headed by Mrs. A. Hill and citizens in general. The party accompanying the Congressman were his wife, Mrs. DePriest, his sister, Mrs. Hussie and Mr. H. H. Proctor, assistant corporation counsel of the city of Chicago. A feature of his reception was the usherette force of the Lincoln Theatre headed by Mr. Curtis Carpentier. These pretty usherettes in resplendent dress, encompassed Mr. DePriest and wife within the scope of heavy velvet rope and escorted him to the beautiful Cadillac Limousine furnished by Mr. John L. Hill, and then a triumphant procession was formed which escorted him to the Dunbar Hotel to a specially prepared suite of rooms which had been set aside by this splendid hostelery. Feature of the affair was the presentation of a magnificent bouquet of flowers by the Women's Committee to Mrs. DePriest. The procession of greeting consisted of automobiles extending nearly to the hotel headed by Mr. DePriest with the escort composed of the members of the American Legion, under command of Harry Beal. After a few hours rest at the hotel the party was again on its way for the big meeting at the Shrine Auditorium and the parade preceding the same. The procession formed at the intersection between 8th and 9th streets on Central avenue and started on its way from the office of the California Eagle, 847 Central avenue. There were more than 150 cars in line, headed by the American Legion followed by Mr. DePriest and party and citizens in autos. Proceeding to Jefferson avenue, as they turned Westward, the great Elks Band, directed by Lt. L. McDuff and T. R. Blanck struck up a martial air, and the Elks Drill Team, under command of Captain Bratton went into action: it was indeed a magnificent sight when these two efficient organizations played music and the Drill Team executed difficult and exacting maneuvers all along the line of march to the Anchorium. Arriving at the Auditorium, no time was lost and the meeting was not long getting under way. Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett was all set with his mighty chorus of 500 voices. The "Hearts in Dixie Chorus, directed by Mme. Mozelle Te Outley and arranged for by Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew was in line and the twenty little Misses directed by Mrs. Lauretta Butler in readiness. Mayor John C. Porter, numerous Superior Court Judges and high county and city officials graced the platform with their presence. The following program was render- ect: America.....By Chorus and Audience Call to Order.....By Dr. H. C. Hudson Dear N. A. A. C. P. Pres. N. A. A. C. P. Invocation.....By Rev. N. P.

Prowd The program in its entirety met the hearty acclaim of the thousands present. Particularly so the number of the protege of Mrs. Lauretta Butler who sang "Welcome Congressman DePriest." In the vernacular of the stage the little Miss simply stole the show. Clarence Muse was great in his rendition of "Little Ones Gone" and was compelled to respond to an encore. The Hearts in Dixie Chorus was a high spot of the afternoon and of course the mammoth Chorus under the direction of Prof. Elmer C. Bartlett made good to the utmost. Preceding the opening of the program Curtis Mosby's far famed Blues Blowers enlivened the occasion with a number as only Curtis Mosby can. The address of Congressman De-Priest met a responsive chord and his audience was with him all the way as he recited the story of his climb from the claybanks of Alabama, the son of a slave, to a seat in Congress. He stressed organization and cited only by the same did he succeed to a seat in Congress. This ended a most remarkable day for Los Angeles and a greater oviation for the statesmen from Illinois also another milestone in the progress of the California Eagle in its celebration of its 50th Anniversary. Mr. DePriest appeared under the auspices of the California Eagle and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

The field of aviation presents great opportunities to, the Negro and he should enter it, at once. As to the efforts of this little group, I shall take the matter up with Mr. Manning when I return to Washington, to see if something can be done to encourage and support you."

Virginia Stephens Passes Bar-First Woman Lawyer Of Race In State (By E. L. DORSEY) Miss Virginia Stephens, illustrious daughter of Mr. Will Stephens and the late Pauline Stephens, a native of Oakland, Calif., in which city she still resides, successfully passed the bar examination on the 13th inst., and will be admitted to practice law in this state on October 15th. Miss Stephens recently graduated from University of California, and in being admitted to the bar becomes the first woman of our group to practice law in the state, indeed a high honor in itself. Many will remember Lawyer Stephens as the little girl of 1915 that received national publicity for having named the exposition held in San Francisco, "Jewel City," thereby receiving first prize offered by a leading daily. While the young lady has not even arranged to open offices as yet, several important cases have been handed her which show faith in her ability to make good. Miss Stephens expects to leave for the East following her admission to the bar next month on a delayed business and pleasure trip following which on her return she will no doubt hang out her shingle. The young lady's father is proprietor of one of Oakland's largest cafes, which employees over fifty-five colored men and women. Both daughter and father have been the recent recipient of many congratulations both written and verbal. int, Mrs. Wyatt; Mrs. C. H. Woods, Mrs. Alice Woods and other prominent citizens; Mr. Titus Alexander of the Light and Power Bureau, who ably supervised the transportation for all the DePriest tours, was very much in evidence. Present also was Mrs. DePriest on a tour of the city, Mr. H. H. Proctor a member of the DePriest party was also present in company with Dr. and Mrs. Pruitt. Preceding the christening of the plane by Mrs. Susie Hancock, who anointed its nose with champagne, Mrs. DePriest, Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Connor, Mrs. Hussie, sister of Mr. DePriest and Mrs. Myles were photographed in front of the plane. Insisting on taking a trip over the city, the congressman then mounted into the plane and flew over the city piloted by Herbert Banning, alighting like a graceful bird as the crowd cheered. headquarters Saturday and released on his own recognizance.

WHITES BURN NEGRO By A. N. P.) New Orleans, La., Oct. 1.—After Lionel Schanett, 19, died at Charity Hospital from burns which he said were caused by a fuse he had been forced to ignite by a group of white men, police learned that his employer's residence had been severely damaged by fire an hour before Schanett was found severely burned about the body. Schanett was found wandering the streets at 1:30 o'clock in the morning clad only in a pair of trousers and suffering from severe burns about the head and body. He told the police he had been burned when a group of "white folks" threatened to kill him if he did not ignite a fuse they thrust in his hands. Editor Fred C. Williams Of Pacific Defender In Auto Accident Editor Fred C. Williams and his wife were the victims of an automobile accident on last Thursday, when their car driven by Mrs. Williams struck a truck at the intersection of 15th and Central Ave. Their car was badly damaged and themselves miraculously escaped serious injury. But otherwise injured clubs, which from its national headquarters at 1423 W. Jefferson street is attempting to spread Negro interest in aviation throughout the country. The day previous the club had flown its plane over the train on which the Congressman arrived, and had two girl flyers, Misses Dickerson and Drew to meet him at the station so the christening ceremonies were a fitting climax on the part of the newest and smallest group in Negro life to join with the other groups in showing honor to the sole representative of the Negro race. The congressman was introduced by Editor J. B. Bass, who delivered a eulogy on the attempts of the organization to hire aerosmotics to the race. Among those present on the field were: Mr. L. G. Robinson, Mr. R. G. Rokinson, Mrs. C. D. 'Connor and her house guest, the noted dramatic art- in the state who will remember the name, Ernest Johnson, son of that venerable patriot and pioneer of Sacramento, B. A. Johnson. Ernest Johnson, a native, graduated from Stanford University, which now draws the color line, approximately some 38 years and gained the distinction of being the first Negro to graduate in law. Mr. Johnson's health failed him shortly after receiving his honors and he died. However, history will record the names of both as being the first man and woman of our group to receive such honors. Sheffield Is Shorn Of His Badge Complying with the orders of the police Commission, Chief of Police Davis on Oct. 1st dismissed officer Moses B. Sheffield from the police force of Los Angeles. The basis for his dismissal was the finding of two bottles of intoxicating liquors in his possession. This offence according to the rules governing the conduct of officers on the force is sufficient cause for dismissal. He still must stand trial upon the indictment of the Grand Jury, charging him with 12 counts of accepting bribes. These cases are to be tried and determined by a jury of his peers to determine upon his guilt or innocence. Sheffield has had a most hectic career as a minion of the law and has been of the spectacular type of officer, his name has been the terror of evil doers and of law abiding citizens as well. He has figured in hundreds of raids. When doors have been smashed, tables and furniture overturned and on one occasion, a killing took place. He was tried on a murder charge and acquitted. It was Sheffield who manufactured the words "Every Tub," when in his raid he would inform those whom he would arrest that it was a case where Every Tub must stand on its own bottom.

(BY: A. N. P.) Miami, Fla., Oct. 1.—The heriff's office announces that Lawrence Knowles, 45, is in a serious condition as the result of an attack by five masked men several nights ago. According to a report made to the sheriff by the county physician, Knowles said his attackers accused him of hiding and feeding Robert Hand, white man, sought for an alleged attack on a small girl. Knowles told the physician the masked men tied a rope about his neck and twice raised him from the ground while they beat him with a strap in an effort to make him tell where Hand was hiding. Knowles said he was freed when he finally convinced the men he knew nothing of Hand who still is at large. Banquet At The Second Baptist Church Honoring DePriest Party Monday evening as early as 8:00 o'clock the great Second Baptist Church, according to those who come from the other side on the Atlantic, one of the most beautiful church edifices owned by Afro-Americans, threw wide its portals and automobiles of every make and kind unloaded beautifully gowned ladies and conventionally attired men who came in response to invitation sent out by the Westside Property Owners Improvement Association of which Mrs. A. Hill is president. At 8:30 the guests, numbering nearly five-hundred, took their respective places at the tables and the banquet was on. Sweet strains of music by the Golden West Orchestra enhanced the beauty and splendor of the occasion as the great party headed by Congressman DePriest, Mrs. DePriest Mrs. Hussey, sister of Mr. DePriest; Mr. H. H. Proctor, secretary to the Congressman and Editor and Mrs. J. B. Bass, host and hostess, to the DePriest party on their trip to California took their seats at the table of honor. Mrs. A. Hill, president of the West Side Improvement Association, arose and in a few well chosen words stated the object of the assembling together, and introduced Attorney Hugh Macbeth who in turn immediately proceeded with the following program Star Spangled Banner...

LOS ANGELES is back of Mrs. Juanita Edwards 100 per cent as lone woman representative in the probation department in which connection Mrs. Edwards has served tirelessly for one year as a volunteer worker, and successfully passed the examination making a high grade. She is considered by those with whom she has had immediate contact in the line of duty as an A-I worker. Among those who protest the attempt at setting aside Mrs. Edwards in order to fill her place with one of a different race are Mrs. Minnie Barton, out of whose department she has worked for two years giving, according to Mrs. Barton's own testament, absolute satisfaction; supervisor Shaw and Judge Charles L. Bogue, who has this to say about Mrs. Edwards: "My attention has been called to the fact that Juanita Edwards, who had worked in he Wonn's Probation Office for the past two years, has been dismissed, or at least her services had been discontinued. During my service on the bench, I referred several matters to the Probation Office, which have been handled by Mrs. Edwards and I have found her work very thorough and above the average. I have been informed that she is the only colored woman in the department and if there is any way that she can be retained in the service, I believe that she would continue to do good work." THE CASE concerning the dismissal of Mrs. Edwards from the protation department was brought up Monday morning through the solicitation of Dr. H. Claude Hudson of the N. A. A. C. P. Upon hearing of Mrs. Edwards' plight, Dr. Hudson not only appeared before the Police Commissioner but solicited our aid and jointly with him we met the Board Monday morning when it opened its doors for business. We called its attention to the fact that Mrs. Edwards was the only colored representative in this capacity and that her services among her own women and girls were sorely needed. Among the commissioners who spoke out in our favor concerning Mrs. Edwards' retention were Commissioners Pierce and Drake. Mr. Drake qualified his endorsement by stating that he thought it was unfair with the large representative Negro population not to have a colored representative in the probation department and as far as he could see Mrs. Edwards had qualified for the place and should retain same. HAVE A LITTLE patience! In our next issue we will roll call on all those who so ably assisted in bringing to the coast Congressman Oscar DePriest and starting a program of progress for our group on these western shores. Truly we are just now in the wake of the inspiration kindled in our bosoms because of the visit of this stalwart advocate of equal rights and justice for all American citizens. THE FELLOWSHIP FORUM, the official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, printed at the national Capitol in its last issue again turned its big guns on Congressman Oscar DePriest, who is just now touring California attempting to create a better feeling between the races. This Forum seems to have as its chief aim and object the very thing of which it accuses Mr. DePriest, for the article to which we refer carries the following headline: "Negro DePriest Intent on Stirring up Race Trouble." It seems to have grown out of the fact that Congressman DePriest accepted the challenge of Senator Heflin to throw him out of the rest rooms of the United States Senate. Of course it is the policy of he Forum to make mean thrusts at the Race but since that is the spirit of the Klan, we are neither surprised nor alarmed. The law of self defense would alone justify Mr. DePriest's acceptance of such a chal- Motion Pictures Drama PAINT PRICES SMASHED FINAL CLEARANCE Everything remaining from the Avalon Paint Co. stock must be sold.

Watch how they come shething around; first peeking, now asking questions, and in other ways, being a real honest-to-goodness pain.... The whole office force is busy baking orders and asking questions concerning the arrival and entertainment of Congressman DePriest. Looks like a sell-out when he appears at the Shrine Aud. Lets hope so....Well, folk, the Lincoln Theater opened Mon. nite. And, with what a bang, But, thats not the point. Its got to stay open. Mr. Levy, did not bring this marvelous aggregation of players all the way from New York, for a one nite stand, or a week, a month, or a year. These people like their predecessors, are known the world over as the Famous Lafayette Players. They are rated as the best schooled colored actors in America. They have brought with them a number of popular plays, sufficient to last several years. They have hit the spot with Los Angeles theater-goers; and every means a whole lot. Now, let us measure a woman, and child among is' rally to the support of them. They need our support. In addition the merchants in the neighborhood urge you to keep this theater open. They claim it is one of the biggest inducements for transient trade on the east side. Think, of that. That proves that, the Lincoln Theater, is an economical art to Central Ave.... The art of the work. Why don't more of our people, who are allegedly in business, learn it? Many of our folk in business possess the air or attitude in business the air that they leave the door open so he might come in to make a purchase. Lord, help em, cause I can't.... Social inequality, breeds race intolerance This is true whether it is brought about by voluntary or involuntary methods. It is logical for us to reason thusly, if we would advance ourselves on a platform of 'Social equality' that; the reason why the white man doesn't care to work alongside us, is that he regards us as being 'not his social equal'. He doesn't like our approximity to him on account of color, there has been raised every thing that might have been in our favor, that we had in common with him. Therefore we cannot, agree with 'learned' Episcopal Bishop, Blacks hear, a product of Georgia, in his effect that expelled the Negro parties there.

Chicapin says he'll never forget the liberal hospitality that he received during his short stay there. Many hearty congratulations to Sacramento, Director Cummings and Fox Film Corporation for the grand style that we were received. Mr. J. J. Mortington, proprietor of North Hotel, 727 "K" St., threw open his door and made us at home. He says he is always willing and ready to receive people of our race and has received several grand lodges while in session there. Chicapin entertained at the Senator Theatre's 5th birthday anniversary. At hotel Senator Director Cummings and staff were guests of honor; the house went wild with applause. He also entertained Director of the State Attorney, Mr. Lentz and his office force of the State Educational Building. He could hardly get away from them. He visited the Capitol Buildings, Fort Sutter, accompanied by his mother and teacher. Newspaper photographers of Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Union met the train on our arrival and took photos of Chicapin standing with his yup, one with Director Cummings and Mr. Charlie Murray and Douglas Gilmore, one front page of Sacramento Bee and Sacramento Union gave Chicapin a big write-up. A great future has been predicted for Chicapin. The new Revie presented by Curtis Mosby, at the Apex Nite Club on last Friday night is one of the most colorful, dazzling entertaining revues yet seen in Southern California, according to the various critics that reviewed it. The songs are new and appropriate, costumes new, daring and beautiful, the dances are something one will long remember, and will make the patrons of this popular night rendezvous come again and again. Bashy and his co-producer, Mildred Washburn, are spared nothing, to make this revue the best one yet, and that they have succeeded, is for the patrons to say. The Drunkard Trio, that sensational team from the East were the outstanding entertainers of this new show, and that they will become more popular with the Los Angeles Public, is an almost certainty, according to the management of the Apex. Their dancing and teamwork was something marvellous to see, according to those who were present at the premiere. As usual, Gurtis Mosby's famous Dixieland Blue Blowers presented the very latest in dance selections, which always comes in for their share of congratulatory praise. It is predicted that this new revue, "The Syncaped Wedding" will have a longer run than is usual for Mosby's shows, all because of its snappiness, its entertaining songs and dances, is the announcement of the director, Curtis Mosby. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS Hess Elkins matchmaker and promoter at San Berdoa has lined up Checkie Herman, the Mexican lad is gunning for a rematch with Jimmy Black, to go up against Huerta Evans that tough Cuban lad in a ten round top spot. Checkie is fighting for a rematch with Jimmy Black and wants it above all other matches. He claims Black's victory over him a month or so back was a lucky one and wants a return go to prove it. This Evans lad is plenty good and will give Herman a plenty good time. Huerta has just returned from up Frisco way, where he took the north ern Bay District by storm. He had a couple of bouts at the famous Dreamland arena and stole the show each time. He is in tip top condition and means to give Herman a worse beating then Black gave him. SAL WINS Baby Sal started his new campaign by a knockout last Thursday night in his home town by putting the skids on Kid Bruno Ladurini in four heats. Soria had lost to the kid on a foul about three weeks ago and the boxing commission ordered a rematch for Sal to either get licked or prove that his foul was wholly unintenient. And he did it and no less. SAM BAKER K. O.'S MASSEY Big Sam Baker put Dewey Massey in dream land in a short heat. Massey was on the floor about as much as he was off the floor and the referee stepped in and stopped it. ONTARIO FIGHT NEWS You never can tell about these fighters, just when you think they are ready for the fistic jungkup heap they come back stronger than ever. The boxer we refer to in this article is none other than the San Bernardino Mountain Lion, Johnny Adams. Gobs and gobs of space has been given to Johnny and his comebacks and his career in general, and we never know just how to stand on the old battle from San Bernardino. Just the time we predict that he will be walking on his heels if he attempts another bout he comes right back and gives the toughest man in the division a battle and no less. Holds Elks to Draw Last Wednesday night at Ontario, Johnny held the tough, Tommy Elks to a thrilling draw. Elks is the fellow that had previously heaten Adams and also had held a draw over him that was somewhat questionable. The mountain Lion threw all caution to the four winds that night and went in there to do or die. He insists that he is far from through and says that battle of Wednesday night proves it. Through or not through Adams does not know when he has had enough and never will until they carry him out of the ring feet foremost and then and then only will the old Mountain Vat say enough. There is no doubt about Adams's slipping he is tan from the man he was in days gone by, but as he proved last week he can still throw a few gloves, when he is in the mood He will never reach the top again, where he should be now, but will be a good trial horse for any of the youngsters in the game. If any, young kic stinging the game and wants to know if he has a future, it would be a good idea to match him with the old veteran and if he got over him it would be a sign of some kind that he had stuff in him. For one thing if not another it would show the kid was game, as there are very few in the game young or old that are outgaming the old vet. Rube Kuffman the matchmaker at Ontario has lined up a real main event, for this Wednesday that smacks of real class and no less. Rube is noted for the mainevents he pulls off and this one is right on top and no less. Kuffman has lined up the clever Jimmy Black, Ed Duvall's dark skinned ace to go to the post against Benny Furrel, the ever swinging Filipino boy. Furrel is another one of those Island boys that doesn't know what it is to quit. He is a winger from gong to goong, and that is the kind that makes the old turntails sing. And the tune that the merry turntails play makes no promoter mad and that is no lie. This Benny person is some little scraper. He won over Checkie Herman at the same club just two weeks ago and says that he will chase Jimmy out of the ring, but little Jimmy says that he has something to say about that. Black Good Jimmy is some little box fighter himself and has beaten some of the best boys in the game and seems headed for the ton, if he can get on the inside for the good match, with the boys that count. Black holds a decision over Checkie too. In fact he gave Herman the worst beating the Mexican has ever had, at San Bernardino about a month ago. He beat Checkie for ten straight rounds and made him like it. Not only did Black beat the Mexican and left no doubt as to who was the best man, he also beat Young Nationlista the Filipino boy that rates a main event at a 7000 "grand" house, namely Hollywood. Jimmy beat Nationlista for ten straight rounds at Ontario too. The hard hitting Filipino didn't have a chance with the clever Black boy. Jimmy boxed his ears off and stung him with rights to the lug and heart. He had that tripphammer left of his working overtime, and it really paid him in full. Filipino Fights at San Diego Young Nationlista fights at San Dioeeg this week in a main event. San Diego is a house that seats about 5500 and the top is two smacks. And on top of that he just fought at Hollywood the house that grosses 7000 "grand" two weeks ago. Now tell me why should a punk fighter like Nationlista rate main events at fistic houses like these two and Jimmy Black one of the best feathers in the world today could lay up and go to waste? I ask you now, very confidentially. Maybe you know why, I don't. STUDIO NOTES Louise (Pete) Beavers goes to Wm. Fox studio, this week. Marvelous colored female 'heavy' of the screen, loaned by Warner Bros. to Fox studio to make an current untitled move-tone film. Miss Beavers, continues her student march to screen face in both, comedy and drama roles. Al Christie studio, began shooting on another All-Colored cast comedy, last Wed. the cast, however, has not been completed. This is another 100 per cent movietime production, from the pen of Octavias Roy Cohen. Quite a few extras will be used in completing some of the additional scenes. Studio Control this is the thing Chas. Butler, of Central Casting has been trying to bring about. This time I think, he has just about succeeded. In the persons of Earnest Wilson, and Burdella Robinson, Mr. Butler has found two people with whom he can intrust the business of maintaining the proper control over the large numbers of inexperienced extras who are sent to the various studios from time to time. Some time back, we called the cliché the fact that tricklish proposition, and required people of considerable tact, and self control, to make good. Here, he has two people that are to every indication, idea for the job. Both are educated and experienced in the art of handling people. Congratulations, Charles. Warren and Gill do you remember this pair, folk? They are the same two who won such large numbers of friends here a short while back, with their clever hoofing acts. Well, they are in New York, now doing cabaret time. Smalls Paradise, one of the popular Harlem nite places, has them engaged. They occupy a hot spot on the bill, too. I'm telling you. Mary Richards and Mildred Washington that sounds like a title to a clever circuit act, doesn't it? Well, it isn't. I just meant to explain that dainty little Mary Richards, and Petit Miss Mildred Washington (past, pipe those descriptive adjectives) met with a rather discomforting auto accident, early this week. It seems that the two charming young ladies, both are employed at the Apex Club, as star entertainers, met with an accident while they were returning from Warner Bros. studio where they were working in a picture. Miss Richards was at the weel of the car owned by Miss Washington, when the crash occurred. The car struck another car at the intersection of 11th and Hobart St. according to witness to the crash, the accident is unavoidable. Production Halted on Warner Bros. picture; Isle of Escape staring Monte Blue. Many of the boys have some cause to moan. Just as they began to cluster around awaiting a sure call from Central Casting, to report on the lot to work, the call was cancelled. Monte Blue the star was painfully injured while completing some scenes down on the beach. The report stated that he was suffering from three broken ribs. Earnest Wilson, one of the colored players in this picture who was with him, also suffers the loss of three teeth knocked out in the exciting episode. Now, probably the boys might have to wait until the star recovers. Clara Bow, George Bancroft Present Closing a three weeks run, Curtis Mosby offered his famous blues Revue Wednesday night for the approval of many Hollywood brightest stars. The Blues number has had one of the most successful runs in the history of the club. The Apex principals were shown at their best in this revue. Sweet Ivy Anderson the versial little lady that pleases them all, Suey Hoy the slant eyed, brown skinned baby THE AIRLINES LIFE'S PSCHOLOGY TOMMY MYLES Among the many who contributed whole-heartedly to the success of Congressman DePriest and party's visit to California were young Thomas Myles, Jr. and his petite, vivacious little bride. Mr. Myles is a member of the younger set but when Mrs. Clara Hulbert suggested to him that he might be of service, he laid aside every pleasure and enjoyment that claims the attention of the young that he might give of his full time to perfect arrangements for the Sunday program at Shrine Auditorium. It was through the activity of Mr. Myles that the flags and many of the automobiles used in the parade were secured, and the line of march arranged. Both Mr. and Mrs. Myles were everywhere at all times where they could be of greatest service. We especially mention this young couple because of the unselfish spirit demonstrated by them in their anxiety to assist in putting over a big program by the California Eagle and the National Association for the Ad CLAUDE COLLINS Master of Ceremonies, Tivoli Theater, Midnight Frolic. with the chop suey name, Mildred Washington, Mary Diggs and all the rest of the company did their stuff like they really meant it. The Blue Blowers were blowing and blowing and every blow brought out more blues that were blues and still more blues. They blew blues that had never before had been blues and blew some that hau, in a different way that made blues more attractive and bluer every time they blew a blue. SUNDAY and MONDAY, OCTOBER 6th and 7th "THE WHITE SISTER"—Starring Lillian Gish "THE FIRE DETECTIVE"—Chapter 6th TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8th and 9th "THE BONDMAN"—Starring Norman Kerry The Blaine-Nell country club is still packing them in over Saturday and Sunday. The crowds are getting larger each week and for the past two weeks Blaine Venerable the owner and manager of the club has had a good feeling that goes with packed and jammed houses. Mr. Venerable still insists that perfect order be kept at his famous roadhouse and it is. There is no rough stuff and every detail is carried on in perfect manner. The Irwin Brothers Band is still playing them down. The boys know their music and no less. They can play with the best of them and are doing it every Saturday and Sunday night to capacity crowds. PEP PRINCE ON DRUMS Prince Pep of Pasadena is still on the boom, boom orums and is booming it up with more boom than ever. Pep really knows his drums and can beat them with them all. The Pasadena sheik runs Curtis Mosby's two drummers a close race for drumming honors and any one who has seen the drummers in Mosby's Blue Blowers and his drummer in the Blue Syncopators know from sight that these boys know their drums and no less. The Blaine-Dell is planning the biggets night in the history of the club on spook night the 31st of this month. Blaine is sparing no expense whatsoever to make this Halloween dance what it should be. Special decorations will be used for the club, making it a real old tim Halloween. The Irwin Brothers have a surprise in store for all who attend the Halloween dance. They say they will dance you down to the floor. Remember not to forget to remember Halloween night at the Blaine-Nell. Professional Night Big As usual professional night was a big one. Stars of the movie world and stars of the stage were present and were more than willing to do a number for Curtis and his guests. Seated at a ring side table was Clara Bow the 'It' girl and George Bancroft. At another close up table was Fred Soloman of penny dance fame, Les Hite and his band of Emancipators were guests of honor and played from 12 to one.

DePreist takes an air line to his nearest point of destination ane as a result is able to carry and deliver a larger cargo of common sense. What was supposed to he an orde- ‘ly parade down Central Ave. to the Dunbar last Sunday morning turned out to be a dog after the bone affair in which DePriest seemed to be ¢theor- ctically) the hone and the autos and their contents the dogs. Such racing and cutting in, screching of suddenly applied brakes, narrow escape .frém running cown pedestrains and folks in autos has seldom if ever been equal- ed. We hope ere long that there will be so many Congressmen elected to, and filling chairs in congress that the sight of one in public will not cause ‘ome folks to suddenly loose their minds temporarily and tush down the through fare at his heels jeopardising the lives of ‘every one.

THANK YOU. ar We understand the DePriest_ affair was only the first gun fired in the celebration of the Eayle’s fifteeth an- niversary. Well one thing sure the gunner sure took good aim. Seems like several of our large white markets have been forced to produce an alibi for receiving the bulk of pat- ronage from the Negro and still not offer him employment. It may be true as an Urban League official has stated in so mapy words that around the stables, garages. and ware. houses some forty or fifty are employee but its also true that if the group had the nerve to demand that in stores where 75 per cent of the business is Negroes that they employ at least-25 per cent as clerks mpybe it would cause thet to wake up) and hire at least five or ten.

A. was taxed beyond its capacity Monday afternoon, when the Federated club women entertained in honor of Mrs. Oscar DePriest and Mrs. Hussie, sister of Congressman DePriest. Long before the hour of 3 o'clock beautifully dressed throngs wended their way to the "Y" and not until 5:20 did this continuous stream halt. In the receiving line were Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards, first vice-president of California Federated clubs; Mrs. Oscar DePriest and Mrs. Hussie, guests of honor; Mrs. Charlotte A. Bass, manager of the California Eagle; Mrs. Eliza Warner, president emeritus of the California Federated clubs; Mrs. Minnie Bate, Mrs. C. H. Dodge, Mrs. E. V. Moxley, Mrs. Pearl Winters and Mrs. Corrine B. Hicks, past presidents. The state of ficers, presidents of clubs and Dr Elzora Gibson were hostesses. Mrs. E. Monroe Beavers, Leuretta Eutler and Ada Jackson had charge of the program, presenting Mrs. B. Stout Lawson in piano solo; Mr. Wm. Starks, Mr. Frederick Skinner, Mr. Henry Star, Mme. Lillen M. Murray, Evelyn Warren in vocal solos; Miss Geraldine Walker in xylophone solo and the Melody Makers Octette. It is with much regret that Prof. Wilkins, one of Los Angeles' most successful artists and piano teachers did not perform. The program committee saving Mr. Wilkins for the final climax, could not guess that the crowd would disperse so quickly. It could not have done justice to Mr. Wilkins to play then. A most gorgeous hugh basket of California's choicest blossoms, complimentary to the club women from Mr. Ralph Porter of the Flowland Studio and an exquisite basket of America's Beauty rosebuds, personal compliments to the Warren Florist were DePriest from the Warren Florist we met to Mrs. DePriest by Mrs. Ada Jackson.

P) New York, Sept. 23.—Despite the fight carried on against the producer, and author of the show "Nigger Rich," it has been definitely decided to produce in the Royale Theater in West 45th street. It had been tentatively decided to call the production "True Colors," but the author threatened to withdraw his show if the name was changed. Although the title is an offensive one, the producers, the Messrs. Shubert were compelled to go ahead with the title. The play has nothing whatsoever to do with colored folk, nor are any colored actors in the cast.

NAKE STORY TURNS OUT TO BE A REGULAR "FISH There is a story going the rounds that Miss Esther Beck, member of the E Pliuribus Unnm Club, and the beautiful financee of Mr. Charles Bruce, listened for several hours to a snake story told to her by one of her admirers. But her fiance, who came in during the story telling was able to point out several errors in the story. During one part of this adventure with the snake, which took place while the hero of the 'modest' (?) affair was enroute across the continent, so many things had to be done to subdue the snake which would have been impossible without the use of three hands. After Charles pointed this fact out, and several other blunders the visitor became very confused and made a hurried exist. So now Esther says that like fish stories, this one about the snake grew, and grew, and she'd rather not hear any more about it. Meanwhile Charles is chuckling because Esther was taken in.

Green has just returned from the Orient where his act was greatly in demand; Norvelle Reese, who has been appearing on the Orpheum Circuit, is well known to Los Angeles theatergoers, because he first appeared here with Claude Kennedy's Orchestra, and renditions of popular songs by this versatile songster is always appreciated; Sugar Foot Brown and his partner, "Smiles," in their new gray tuxedos, showed the audience the latest in soft shoe dancing and were called back repeatedly. Lee Bud Harrison and Company from the Burbank Theater, did a really funny "black face" and the character which Harrison assumed on the stage for the amusement of the assembly, can be seen on Central Avenue any time.

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 1.—Rev. Walter A. Lewis, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church, filed suit for $10,000 against Tra T. Bryant, editor of the Allenite and secretary of the Sunday School Union, here Wednesday morning for ten thousand dollars. The basis of the suit was libel and the presiding elder claimed that Mr. Bryant in a June issue of the Young Allenite characterized him as "one of those presiding elders who can't pray, preach, sing, or whistle," and accused him of forging the names of church trustees to checks. Mr. Bryant has been at odds with several of the Bishops and church officers for a number of years and has many supporters. He has, according to his friends, thwarted the efforts of certain Bishops and officers of the denomination to defeat him by ordering their diocese not to order Sunday School literature from the organization which he heads. All members of the First A. M. E. Zion Church are ask to be present at the services Sunday, September 29, and Sunday, October 6th. This closes 4 years of the present administration. Only two Sundays left in this Conference year; come prepared to pay all your obligations to both the local and General Church. Conference workers, District officers and delegates will leave for the Conference not later than Oct. 7th. Our slogan: On to Hanford with a full report. All together, lets go. The Pastor will fill the pulpit at both services this Sunday, Oct. 6th. At Eleven o'clock hour he will give a Communion Meditation, using as his subject: "Consider Christ." New members will be accepted into the church at this service. At the evening service which comes at 8:00 o'clock the Pastor will speak on: "Resource and Responsibility." You are cordially invited to worship with us at both these services. The Deacon and Deaconess Boards of Friendship. Baptist Church of Pasadena gave a joint party on last Thursday evening at the home of Deacon R. B. Scott, honoring the home-coming of Mrs. Lena Morton a sister deaconess. Mrs. Morton has been one of the shining lights of our city and a foremost pillow of Friendship. The pastor, W. D. Carter, followed by the deacon and deaconess culloged the life of Mrs. Morton. After the lengthy but timely program, Mrs. Morton was called upon for a word. Afterwards she was presented with a huge cake baked by the hands of a sister deaconess. The many friends of Mrs. Morton are glad to have her home again. In Memoriam NORA DENARD Who passed away. September 28, 1928. She is now sleeping in the realm of everlasting peace, in that great coliseum of memory and love known as Evergreen, the cemetery beautiful; noted for its excellent appearance of solemn contentment. My dear little wife has gone home to heaven to rest in her father's house as mentioned in the first three verses of the fourteenth chapter of St. John. Evergreen is one of nature's mightiest contributions dedicated to those who have departed for their homes of eternal happiness. Her newly acquired home in the Kingdom of God affords numerous indescribable feaures of natural beauty. When the living visit, Evergreen they seem to become affected with a biblical impression, it reminds them of the twenty-third Psalm, where it says, "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." We wish to thank all of our friends for the beautiful floral offerings and expressions of sympathy shown us during our recent bereavement in the loss of our daughter, mother and niece: Idelia Seldge. Especially do we thank Rev. H. B. Hawes, Rev. A. P. Shaw, Mrs. Rosalin Huggins and the pall bearers for their services which brought us so much consolation. U. C. A. R. Ast.

JOHNSON MUNSON and MARTIN By: WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) Now, "let us give the Devil his cue." We have had a lot of fun with the Rev. William S. Blackshear. We knew before he expressed himself that his position was the position of his church and of every other white church in the United States. Just because he was foolhardy enough to give expression to that position, we seized the opportunity and vented upon him all the ridicule and cuss-words which we have been long harboring against the whole lot. For the sake of an impression, we posed: we pretended to be surprised, shocked, horrified. We begun to quote the "scriptures" to the Rev. Mr. Blackshear,—as if we had any idea that the Bible would have the slightest bearing on the situation. Even Heywood Broun quoted "scripture" in the New York "Daily Telegram". In this we were all, white and black, the rankest hypocrites,—just what we called the Rev. Mr. Blackshear. For we were not in the least surprised,—although we were a bit shocked at the candor and tactless courage of this particular white brother-in-Christ; And when we considered that he grew up in Texas, we were not even surprised at anything. He gave us no information, and we knew it. The few colored members of that church knew the truth of all he said long before he said it, even before he came to that church last summer. They knew that colored members are not wanted in that church nor in any other white church in the land, except a few absolutely independent churches,—and it is doubtful whether a majority of the white members want colored people even in those. We know that Mr. Blackshear said in words what every church in America has done in fact. Which is of more importance, the word or the deed? The Methodists, Baptists, Catholics—all except the "Holy Rollers," have separate black and white "clubs." We dubbed the Rev. Blackshear's church a "club," because it selects its membership, while logically a church should be open to all comers. But we knew long ago that every white church in America is such a "club." Even Jesus of Nazareth, who was an Oriental, a heretic, and an ordinary soap-box orator, could never have gained admission to the most exclusive of these "clubs." There are a few of those clubs in which the brave preacher at the head tries to keep up the appearance of a church, with free admission to all. But we all know that it is only an appearance which can be kept up off so long as few Negroes apply. There is no doubt anywhere that the Rev. Mr. Blackshear did not act without the knowledge and agreement of many of his officers and members. So far, we have no protests from any of the white members. Of course, the bishop said that it is "not the policy" of his denomination to shut the black saints out of glory—but what else could a bishop say? The bishop knows all that we know—and we all know. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear was really the cat's paw for some others who lack his guts. Some of us "northerners" like to have a wild southerner to come in and do the dirty work for us. On the following Sunday the Rev. Mr. Blackshear informed us that "there were times when even Christ refused the company of certain people." Our reply is, yes: he refused the company of Pharisees and hypocrites and common mobs, whom he evidently regarded as less desirable than prostitutes and grafting tax-gatherers. On this Sunday, there were also a police lieutenant and six detectives guarding the Rev. Mr. Blackshear's gospel services. Was it Jesus Christ or the preacher's false position that needed all this protection? But the worst thing of all, for Blackshear, is that Garvey's organization, the U. N. I. A. issued a statement endorsing him. That is the most unkind cut of all; for if nothing else would kill him, that will. The Reverend Rector did not give us a single bit of information, but he surely furnished us a good opening through which to shoot at the whole system—and we took it. But we must confess that we regard him as neither better nor worse than the dominant influence of Western "Christianity." Y. M. C. A. Boar dto Honor Mr. J. G. Warren The Board of management of the 28th St. Y. M. C. A. will honor Mr. James G. Warren a member of the Los Angeles Y.M.C.A. Board of Directors, with a Breakfast this Sunday morning at the 28th St. Branch. At that Mr. Paul Williams will present to Mr. Harry Henderson, General Secretary, a large painting of Mr. Warren which shall be hung in the office of the Executive Secretary, Mr T. A. Greene. The Board is taking this step in an effort to show to Mr. Warren their appreciation of his years of service and Library Book Club Is Huge Success A large, enthusiastic throng of book lovers crowded the Helen Hunt Jackson Library Club Room to hear the interesting program arranged for the first meeting of the Library Book Club last Wednesday evening. Miss Hebe Mack's reviews of several outstanding war titles were made more vivid by choice quotations from the books themselves which included Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," and Evelyn Scott's "The Waye" which were the July selections of the Book of the Month Club and the Literary Guild respectively. The audience was delighted with Mr Bruce Forsythe's candid criticism of various Negro books and Negro authors. His list included Heyward's "Mamba's Daughters"; MacKay's "Banjo"; Larsen's "Passing"; White's "Rope and Faggott"; Moton's "What the Negro Thinks"; and Jean Toomer's "Cane." The next meeting of the club will be held Wednesday evening, October 23, 1929 at 7:30 P. M. sharp at 2330 Naomi Ave. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. W. V. Howard Benefit Concert Next Tuesday Night Hamilton Mate Chorus, Wesley M. E.

Monroe, La., Oct. 1.—With the grand jury of Morrhouse parish convening at Bastrop, Wednesday morning, interest is centered upon the forthcoming trial of the confessed perpetrators of the murder of Bob Lee, aged white man, who was killed and robbed near the Monita road August and his body sunk in the waters of Bavou Batholomen. District Attorney David I. Garrett is in possession of a transcript of the confession of Joe Winn, who admitted his participation in the crime, naming his alleged accomplice, "Bo" Webb, as the instigator of the murder. Every act of his, Winn asserted, was performed at the point of a pistol held in the hands of "Bo" Webb. The statement tends toward vindication of Henry Webb, a cousin of "Bo", who has also been held for the murder and has maintained all the way through that he was not even present. The trio has been held in the Ouchita parish jail since their arrest because of intense feeling prevailing against them in Morehouse parish. his special interest to the Colored Men's Department. MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL A banquet Monday night, October 7th will mark the formal opening of the Fall Membership Renewal Campaign which will be conducted during the month.

Chicago, Ill., Oct. 1.—After one of the 'hardest-fought legal battles in the Cook County Courts, Bindley C. Cyrus, undertaker and 'former secretary of the hicago Undertakers' Association, was acquitted by a jury in Judge McGoorty's Court, on a charge of embzzlement brought by the officers of the Chicago Undertakers' Association, The indictment charged that Cyrus defaulted in his accounts to the extent of $1,000. George T. Kersey who was treasurer at the time testified that he signed a large number of blank checks for Cyrus which the latter used to withdraw money from the bank for his own personal use. R. H. McGavock testified that Cyrus told him that instead of depositing the monthly commission checks received from Lincoln Cemetery, he had used the money for his living expenses, W. D. Allimono, auditor, testified that there was a shortage in the bank balance of the Association but on cross examination admitted that Cyrus' books showed no shortage and that it could only be assumed that Cyrus re-ruis received and used the money not accounted for. On the side of the defense' it was shown that every check received from Lincoln emetery, which was the only source of funds, was deposited in the Douglas National Bank over the signature of George T. Kersey, that none of this money could be withdrawn except upon the signatures of Kersey, Cyrus, and McGavock, that Kersey never did sign a blank check for Cyrus and that there was never in the possession of Cyrus any money of the Association. The record showed that every check drawn and honored by the bank contained the signature of all three officers, that each officer had the power of endorsing checks and that the shortage resulted from the indorsement of checks for third persons only one of which for $100 could be charged to Cyrus and for that he accepted responsibility. At the completion of the testimony, Judge McGoorty stated to the State's Attorney and the jury that there may have been some negligence on the part of all of the officers but there was no evidence to support a criminal action against the defendant. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty in less than five minutes. Judge Daniel P. Trude of the Municipal Court, Attorney William H. Haynes and Mrs. Maude Lawrence testified as to the character of the defendant. Sydney P. Brown of the firm of Temple, Brown, Harewood and Wimbish was chief counsel for the defendant. Associated with him were Attorneys C. H. Tavernier, Heber T. Dotson and Patrick B. Prescott. The case was very bitterly fought by Cyrus' attorneys. Their interest in it extended beyond a mere dismissal. At the outset it appeared that the action would be dismissed because of a technicality and forced the state into the merits of the case. They contended that they were forced to get an acquittal for their client in order to vindicate him before the public and remove the last obstacle to his admission to practice law in the State of Illinois. In this they succeeded and at the completion of the trial received the commendation of both the judge and the jury. While Winn holds steadfast to the claim, that he was forced with threats of death by Webb to aid in the deed, Webb maintaining that Winn, himself, is responsible for the batching of the scheme, the original purpose of which was robbery. The district attorney declares that regardless of the attempt of each suspect to cast the blame upon the other the state will hold them equally guilty. Winn's version is that "Bo" Webb knocken the victim in the head and took his money, while he, Winn, cut the old man's throat after he was dead.

The further his administration proceeds the more apparent is the faet that he is truly, the chief executive for all the people. He is a strong, sincere and-courageous advocatesfor law and order and swerves neither to the right nor left, but goes straight forward in executing the same. In this situation we are sure he has the hearty support of all the people wham he serves and who stand for good government.

OUR CONGRESSMAN’S VISIT The visit of Congressman Oscar DePriest in our midst upon the 50th Anniversary of The California Eagle, and the value thereof, is of such proportions that no calculation can estimate the value of his visit. First hand information along the lines of organization which landed him in Congress has. in- spired hope for the group in its onward march and other equal- ly as important propositions along the lines of political advance- ment. ” That he is the people's man, there is no question. They ad- mire him for his courage and his sincere aevolion tor a cause. He has inspired them as never before and we verily believe that inis presence at this time has been a God send, and the people will profit thereby. CONDEMNING THE CEDAR - A few years ago a farm expert conceived the idea that some disease which affects wheat was harbored in the mative cedar. Acting on this information a lot of farmers got excited and cut down their cedar trees. Nowadays the presence of black rust in wheat is attributed to the native—not the nursery—barberry and the war is mainly carried on against that particular denizen of the woodside. But the cedar tree happens to be one of the most beautiful of our native evergreens. The beauty of the cedar and its age- long contribution to the pleasure of those who see it are, how- ever, a dangerous asset. Apparently it is impossible for cer- tain persons to squelch the desire to destroy this beauty. As for the barberry, it is a most popular and extensively grown shrub. It is hoped that before extermination of the cedar and barberry in the wheat countries is attempted the scientists who go into such things will prove beyond any possible doubt that the cedar and barberry are guilty of the crimes charged against them. Half-baked science is worse than none at all. ‘They stoop to folly who act impetuously on every new “discovery.” There are people who had their teeth pulled to cure their rheumatism who-still have rheumatism but no teeth. Government agents should be slow to prescribe drastic cures before their efficacy has been provd. USES OF LEISURE re From the days of Cicero to the present, the question of stretching the brittle span of life has been prominent in inter- est. Diet has usually played a leading role in longevity pres- criptions, but each individual is a law unto himself in the matter of diet and careful dieting alone will not insure a ripe old age. Life is bound up in strength and energy. It is not so much a matter of how one functions as whether he has the vitality to function to the full measure, When one gets to the age of 40 it is'well to seek periodic examinations by a physician. Such service is given free by many insurance companies, so that there is really no excuse if their clients do not get their that there is really no excuse if their clients do not get their annual health chart. If/a man is as old as his/arteries, it is well to have such care that they shall not be under the strain of becoming thickened or hardened prematurely. Overweight is a danger sign at middle age. Those who are seriously overweight may well have a regimen prescribed that will lessen their avoirdupois and lengthen their lives. After all, the care of health is the best investment man can make, the one that lies behind all others. Health pro- tection is not a difficult matter, . .

The nation- al ear is attuned to the thud of leather against leather and the thrill nots of the referee's whistle, and to them only. If you have something to say about the faults and evil ways of the game, save it for the post mortem season when there will be a few followers of unsuccessful elevns to lend an ear to the jeremiads. | During the season, the nation watches with avid interest the progress of the various teams and conferences, observing them in practice and in the heat of battle. . There is no time to debate the moot question whether football commands too much ingerest and subordinates the academic. If football is overemphasized in college and high school, it should be emphasized still more for its therapeutic value to a nation burdened with dull gray repression. But, after all, isn’t the overemphasis mostly on the part of the alumni and the few undergraduates in the varsity squad? “ The “overemphasis” which school heads complain of. is that which inspires general alumni gifts for stadiums, gymnasi- ums and players at a time when academic departments go a-begging and foundations for raising faculty salaries are, un- dersubscribed. ) . But this is no time to discuss football, but to live it and en- Foy it, Football is a game of games, and even though it may sseem to overshadow the real purpose of schools and colleges, ‘the fact remeins that, like baseball, it deserves it. ~ ..

There has been, and are, men in the political and re- ligious life of the race who. have eloquéntly portrayed the goal and described the path, and there it ended. Politicians have told us that we should get together; should prganize, and that in political homegeyity lies the panacea for all the racial ills. But is there one who measures up to the task of moulding and wielding the racial mind? Is there one who will subordinate self for the racial good? Many. have been trjed in the balance.

It't very doubtful whether the Republican party can | hold the vote, and keep those states in line on {he off year. The Negro vote is quite a factor in each of those states. They cart | determine the result. It used to be that the Republican party had no fear as to the outcome where that vote was concerned, | but it is different today. It was when the.names of Grant and Lincoln were names to conjure with. Names like Sumner, and | the colleagues who placed a premium on human justice, could hold the Negro vote without question.

May be so!. The best thing that we see in the po- litical offing is the selection of young Delaney as nominee of the Republican party from the 21st Congressional District of New York. Delaney beat his opponent 4 to 1. There should be no reason for defeat of the nominee. His election should be a fact. Fred Moore went before the people for vindication and got it. He should be returned: to his seat as alderman. The Hon. Oscar DePriest, representative in Congress from the First Congressional District, Illinois, has been making a speaking tour across the continent. Everywhere he has been given enthusiastic greetings and met with the courtesy which his official station exacts. As a Congressman, Mr. DePriest is a law making representative of the Nation. “ His racial extractidh should no more be exploited than that of numerous racial dif- ferences who are his’ colleagues. Very, often we defeat the purpose hoped for by a too great enthusiasm. Should Mr. De- Priest be looked upon us a Negro Congressman pure and simple, with no other regard for legislation than that which affects the Negro, his efforts as a legislator will hecome nullified. But, in Jooking after the interests of the nation he includes the welfare of the Negro with that of all citizens and will permit of no de- marking line because of their color, his efforts cannot fail for support. It is hard to associate simple dignity with the blare of trumpets and the beat of drums. It savors so much of the time when, if Joe N. O.

It is time that we were ‘getting away from barbaric display.

AU REVOIR CHICAGO A CLEVELAND ON THE LAKE I am beginning to learn things! That although one may purchase a ticket at the price stipulated, one may not ride on the company's trains, except they pay extra fare. Of course I mean trains not those Chug-chug clank clanking, screaming puffing locals that "stop at every house and when they come to a two storied house stop twice"—such as recorded by the Snow Train Thru Arkansas. : We got on one of such description that Friday morning at 10:30 in Chicago, arriving at Cleveland. Ohio in the evening at 9:00 o'clock. Circling around the Great Lakes from Chicago on Lake Michigan to Cleveland on Lake Erie. No artists brush ever painted a picture equal to that naturally formed when night threw her dark blanket over the scene before me, covering up the sordid, leaving only the picture-sueness of a black mirrored sea that reflected myriad lights from the many boats. Red lights, blue lights yellow, green and white lights outlining huge vessels that lost their cumbersome forms in the shadows. Only the bellowing of their lonesome cries into the night was heard above the plaintive echo of the train whistle. It filled me with awe. To me it represented the unknown, the strange land into which I journeyed. Then too, the unexpectedness of it added charm. I never thought of Cleveland being on a lake. True, way back in the teens of nineteen hundred, I must have known but all that went with my 'teens. Now I stand face to face with all my forgotten geography. Cleveland having thusly presented herself in such an unexpected way takes on an air enginmatical. I could gaze on and on-on that sea of mirror-eo ink and care not for the coming of the mornings sun to dispel it's enchantment. We pass thru the centre of the business section. The brilliancy of the "Square" delights me. There the new Union Terminal Station, still under erection, boasting to be the largest in the U. S. A. rears it burning head far into the darkness of the heavens, making way for the hearliding of the glorious works for man. From this I learn the meaning of the rapid transit system of railroads. The May Company stands in the center of things. This being the home of the May Company. I am surprised that the link in Los Angeles should so surpass the original, the store here having only five stories. On the car boarded, the "Central Avenue Car." there is a majority of brown skin folk. Their mannerisms that show unconcerned heaviness or stares, characteristic of some, say that they have but recently come up out of the south. Hundereeds and thousands of them are here, having come up in an attempt to escape a living death, they have settled in Cleveland because of opportunity for work and good wages, due to the steel industry. "Central Avenue" of Cleveland is not unlike the Central Avenue of Los Angeles between 5th and 25th Streets. Loud guffaws between the spitting of mouthfuls of dark brown juices are heard and seen. Mashers stand around in bunches, waiting to catch the eye of some first in passing. Well tis summer and you know that summer has its effect on folks of color Cleveland not excepted. Tis summer the darkies are gay." WHERE ARE YOU GOING Thursday evening, Oct. 10th? To the Parsian Garden, 1143 E. 12th St. of course. What's doing?

If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened BOSTON J. ALLEN REESE Historic Boston, where Paul Revere begun his midnight rides; where Ben Franklin was born; where the great abolitionist, Wm. Lloyd Garrison was dragged through the streets; where John Brown trod; where Crispus Attucks, a Negro, dared the British, bared his bosom to Britain's fire and thus offered the first blood, the first life, for the freedom of America from the tyranny of the mother country. No real American, regardless of color can visit this city, view the many evidences of its historic import, find yourself standing upon the very spot where history was made and not experience a quickening of the pulse, a feeling of patriotism and a reverence for the patriots who firmly set our country indoors and all the world. country independent of all the world. Then too we glory in the courage of that type of early American who visioned the error of human slavery, and who fought with pen and tongue for its abolition. The memory of Frederick Douglas has been perpetuated in that Frederick Douglas Square has been named for him. Wm. Lloyd Garrison's Monument is inscribed "My Country is the world, my countrymen are all mankind." "I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch and I will be heard." There in cemeteries in Boston common and there-about are the graves of many of those who lived fought and died. Not far distant is the Bunker Hill Monument, and in the Navy Yard Docks lay "Old Ironside" undergoing reconstruction. When finished, this craft will be kept for all time by the Navy Department it having been reconditioned by voluntary public subscriptions. Old South Church, Fanuel Hall, and all these shrines which compose the "Cradle of Liberty" interest the stranger within the gates. The spot where Crispus Attucks fell is marked by a star worked in bricks, and while the sightseeing crew retrain from admitting that here a Negro fell, they say that first blood of the Revolution was spilled here. On Boston common, facing the State Building is erected the Monument to Robert G. Shaw Col. of the 54th Mass Regiment and those men of color who so valiantly played their part in the Civil war. It consists of a large bronze slab, set in marble, shows Shaw astride his horse leading a company of Black men and there in bold relief—are shown young drummer boys, one of which I am told still lives. The faces of these soldiers are fixed, determination to do or die seems written across their honest brows, knapsacks on their backs and gun on shoulders, they march on. On the reverse side of this marble a tribute which was paid by Pres. Charles Elliot of Harvard is inscribed and in my humble helief it is as rich a gem as ever fell from mortal lips, and follows: "The white officers taking life and honor in their hands cast in their lot with men of a despised race, unproved if war, and risked death as inciters of servile insurrection if taken prisoners. Besides, encountering all the pearls of camp, march and battle. The black rank and file volunteered when disaster clouded the Union cause, served without pay eighteen months till given that of white troops. Faced threatened enslavement if captured, were brave in action, patient under heavy and dangerous labor and cheerful amid hardships and privations. Together they gave to the nation and the world undying proof that Americans of African decent possess the pride, courage and devotion of the patriot soldier. One hundred and eighty thousand such Americans enlisted under the Union flag in 1863-1865. Having successfully seen this historic community was due largely to the sacrifices of the Rev. Benj. W. Swain, D. D., Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Taylor, and Mrs. Josephine Waters and to these and others who were so very kind we tender our thanks. Dope Queen Starts Seven Year Term Mays Landing, N. J. Oct. 1—By A.N.P.—Esther Boone, known as the "Dope Queen of Atlantic City," has been removed from the county jail here to begin her term of seven years in state prison, imposed by Judge Jos. Corio. Lily May Evans, also convicted of a narcotic charge, was also taken to Trenton to serve a one-year sentence. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 After the "Formal" I went to a ball the other night; I'll have you know, it was just too "tight." Each man and girl was in stylish mode All things were done strictly to cede. The music was grand, refreshments great; The numbers they played were strictly late. But 'twas not till past the hour one. When I with ten couples had my fun. We drove to the home of Mrs. B. And it was a gorgeous thing to see. Having hard wood floors artistic walls. Many cozy rooms, and spaceous halls. We have them the praise, their home deserved. Then delicious sandwiches were serv- Until two everthing was normal The hostess yelled, "Lets be informal." Then the ladies all, took off their shoes The men folks took their stijl collars loose. A fire was made and we all drew round. The girls sat up, and the men lay down. Then a handsome fellow served us tea. Which smelled very much like wine to me. We shall argue not, about the name. Tho it gave us vigor, just the same. Stiffness left the air smoke begun to quirll Cigarettes being passed to man and girl. As the gracious gent refilled the pot. Our awareness was quite forgot. As the gracious gent refilled the pot, Our weariness was quite forgot. Unpolished jokes were deilly bared, Half smutty tales the fellows aired, Tho. no one was questioned, no one hushed. No one was shocked, and few ladies blushes; Then as the house grew more wee, The mantel clock said nearly three, The hostess, tho she meant us no harm, Lay down, out right, in her husbands arm. Half jealous wives, and excited men. Said "Lets go folks, this is a Sin." And so we went, each pair, our way Promonturing it a most perfect day. TWENTY HELD IN CULT KILLING Chicago, Oct. I-By A. N. P-Three are dead, two injured, and twenty are being held by the police as a result of a battle between members of the Moorish Science Temple and a police squad at 4139 South Parkway, Wednesday afternoon. The dead are: Policeman William Gallagher, J. Stevenson, a member of the cult, and Policeman James Hultz. The wounded are: Moe Jackson, a member of the cult, and Policeman Stewart McCutcheon. KIDNAPPING CAUSES TROUBLE The trouble had its origin early Wednesday morning when a group of members of the cult went to the home of Charles Kirkman, at 442 West Elm Street and ordered him to come with them and bring his papers. Kirkman accompanied the group, and his wife turried in the alarm. A police squad rushed to the headquarters of the cult, which is located at 3603 Indiana Avenue and was informed that Kirkman had been taken to 4139 South Parkway. According to the testimony at the inquest, held Thursday morning, the officers were taken to South Parkway address by Jackson, a member of the cult, who was ordered by the police not to inform those within the flat that the officers were there. Jackson however, double-crossed the police and when those within answered his rap, he told them its the law. The police are alleged to have knocked him down and rushed the door. They were met with a volley of shots and the battle was on. Sawed-off shotguns, revolvers and tear gas bombs were brought into play and for sometime there was plenty of action. When the smoke of battle cleared away, one policeman was dead, two wounded, one of whom died later, and one member of the cult was dead, and one wounded. STORIES CONFLICT Many conflicting stories of the killing have been told. Some declare that the tprouble started from a fight within the order which was left without a head when Noble Drew Ali, the founder of the organization, passed away. Others claim that the cause was an argument over certain "papers" belonging to the order, which has recently closed its annual convention here. Pardon the rhapsodical outburst but while nusing alone on a subject nearest my heart—you—I feel like dropping you a line. Now, don't think me a confirmed pessimist, for I am not; but there are some questions that have haunted me for a long time. I am sending them to you hoping that you will give them your most sincere thought. Here goes: (1) Why is it that we Negroes do not own an operate large industrial and commercial enterprises, especially in the West? Positively, we have the capital, but why won't we pool it and offer employment to willing workers of our group? (2) Why is it that we seem to specialize in restaurants, barber shops, pool halls, and shining stands? They are honorable business, but why do we seem to "get into the rut of them" and year in and year out "remain in the rut of them"? If we must have them, why do we content ourselves with ranshackle buildings? In these modern times do not all realize the economy and good psychology of strong, artistic buildings? Why are we deficient in banks, chain stores, transportation lines, and so forth? Why do we discourage our youths from going to High School and college? Why do light complexions snub the darks, and the darks envy the lights? Why do we parrot-like sing the praise of handful of illustrious Negroes and fail to develop the Negro genius and talented on a large scale? Why do not more of us learn to play the flute, cello, and viola? How many violinist have we that can equal Kreisler? To our one eminent pianist, the white race has goozes. How many scientists have we that are in a class with Millikan, Darwin, or Kepler? Have we any Michael Angelos, De Vincis, or Raphaels? Have we any Edisons, Fords, and Hoovers? Surely we have talent genius equal to the above mentioned, but where is it. Why isn't there a wide spread interest in race enrichment? Why don't we launch a "go to school" campaign, for young and old? Why do we submit to political and social humiliations even tho we be a minority? Consider the small Jewish race! Why do our leaders betray us, and on the other hand, why do we fail to properly support good leaders? I must close now as the early hours of the morning are 'fast approaching, but please think on these matters. Spellman Has Large College Enrollment Spellman Has Large College Enrollment (By A. N. P.) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1—Spellman College opened September 25 with an enrolment of 360 students. Of this number 195 are registered for college courses, an increase of over 34 per cent in this department over last year, and the largest enrollment of college students in the history of the institution.

HUSBAND SLAYER RELEASED ON BOND Orange, Tex., Oct. 1—By A.N.P.—Leanl Gums, charged with murder of her husband, Thurston, who was stabbed to death, was released from the county jail under a $20,000 bond to await action of the grand jury. Religious fanaticism, business chicanery, and tragedy mingled in the accounts of the affair given at the inquest as various members of the cult were brought up for questioning. Ira Johnson, a bearded individual, confessed that he was the man who slew Officer Gallagher and declared that he had done so because he did not know he was an officer and was shooting to protect his own life. Many doubt his story, pointing to the fact that he like other members of the cult have been fed up on Mohammedm, the basis of which is that it is better to die in the cause of the "prophet" than a natural death. Officers, however, believe that he is the man who did the killing but are holding nineteen others in order to determine who killed the second officer. The police claim they found the revolver of the officer slain on the scene of the shooting, in possession of Johnson, along with his own weapon. Stevenson, the cult member who was killed, was shot in a closet where he had fled in order to escape the police. Officer Reynolds, who is credited with the killing claimed that Stevenson attempted to kill him, the jamming of the gun saving him. The man was shot several times through the head. 1000 COPS SENT TO DISTRICT One thousand policemen were sent to the district to prevent any outbreak. Reports of a race riot were circulated in outlying districts and relatives of Chicagoans rushed here to see about their loved ones, only to find that many living within a few blocks of the scene of the killing knew little or nothing of it. In other words, the affair was overly played up. Police claimed they were dealing with a foreign Negro, halting from Northern Africa. These beliefs were affirmed by smart newspapermen, in spite of the fact that the names and birth places indicated that the members came from Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and other southern states. Physician Finds Statements About Negro Mother Are Misleading Chicago, Oct. I.-By A, N. P.-Negro mothers are not any more subject to syphilis than the women of the same class or condition in any race, according to findings made by Dr. C. Leon Wilson, specialist in obstetrics, as published in the current issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Wilson, as shown in his report, has made a study among Negro Mothers covering seven years and including 3,631 cases. The percentage of the most malignant veneral disease he found in them was 7.49. Prior to Dr. Wilson's studies there had been reports indicating that the percentage among Negro Mothers in some sections of the south was as high as 30.6 per cent, and in such advanced community as Boston, 16 per cent. But Dr. Wilson points out that "whether the incidence (percentage) is higher, it is probably due to the small number of Negroes seen or that they belong to the lowest intellectual group, or where the economic factor enters." "These people when once infected," continues Dr. Wilson, "spread the affliction to others, since their income will not admit of continuous and rigorous treatment. Bad housing conditions, where many families are forced to live together in order to meet the high cost of living, account for much of the disease present." The women examined by Dr. Wilson during the seven-year period were for the most part of southern birth and residents of the north for a period varying from two and three months to eight and nine years. They represented the usual type of patient seen in a clinic, and were of average intelligence. Thus it can be seen where higher percentages have been obtained, they must have come from the very lowest social classes where the conditions complained of by Dr. Wilson exist. Dr. Wilson is a graduate of the medical school of the Uniiversity of Illinois. He has been on the staff of the Chicago-Lying-In Hospital for seven years and is chief of the obstetrical department of the John T. Wilson Medical Foundation in this city.

Laura Bowman, leading lady last season with the Lafayette Players at the Lincoln Theater has been obtained to portray one of the leading roles in "Dancing Mothers," the production which will open at the Lincoln next Monday night according to an announcement made yesterday by Manager Carpentier. "Dancing Mothers" is the story of a mother who, seeing her daughter be- MARY B. coming enmeshed in an airship with a rather notorious man-about-town, enters the social whirl and lays her cap for the same man. The man in the case is attracted to the mother and the daughter in a very dramatic scene berates the woman who is displacing her in the heart of her lover, not knowing at the time that it is her own mother. "Dancing Mothers" offers a tremendous opportunity to the three principals and in Andrew Bishop. Abbie Mitchell and Miss Bowman it is believed that these roles will be filled to perfection. In the original New York Production Lowell Sherman played the role of the roue and won the sobriquet of the most lovable villian the stage had ever seen. It is believed by the management that Bishop will offer an equally fine delineation of the part.

The bout was comedy for several rounds. The first heat was a pure farce and no less. It had the cash customers roaring with laughter. And our good friend Mr. Walker was the cause of it all. When the boys first walked out to do battle, it seemed as if Al was ready to jump out and leave Long Tom right where he was and give him the title with no argument at all. This was kept up for a couple of rounds and then things began to happen, as you would say. There was no doubt about Hawkins being bothered. Al had the San Diego giant all up in the air, because of his style. Walker had the most peculiar style the writer has ever seen. One moment he is fighting southpaw and the next he was orthodox. Some fighter this mister Walker. The eastern fighter made Long Tom look rather foolish in some of the rounds. Hawkins tried so hard to knockout Al it really looked funny. Churchill's boy brought them up from the floor and a couple of times he reached all the way around the ring to swing at Walker. Al On Floor— Wren's boy had a yep for sitting cown and every once in a while, when Tom was doing just a little too much roundhousing for Al. he (Walker) would take a welcome rest on the canvas and think about it for the count of five or so. Walker No Boxer— The eastern boy can't box a hot minute, but he packs some wallop in that left hand of his. He hits like the very devil with that port side mitt. In fact he used nothing but that left. I haven't seen him use his right yet except to stick it out and wave it in the San Diegan's face. But when he did level the left hook on Frank Churchill's boy it was a death dealing punch and no less. Walker had Long Tom rolling all over the floor in the seventh. Al must have been saving himself for this punch all through the fight. When Walker let that hook from the port sioe go: it landed square in Mr. Hawkins eibay, and Long Tom stretched from one side of the ring to the other and rolled around in all kinds of misery. Al failed to follow up and let Hawkins get away after a nine count. From then on little Al threw all kinds of lefts and several times had Tom in a bad way. All in all it was the tottenest fight we have ever laid these peepers on and no less. Walker had a head that he must think was put up there just to make his body look good and for no other reason, because he sure failed to use it Tuesday night. And as far as that goes Long Tom Hawkins brain carrier isn't so forty either. JACKSQN—MARGAS DRAW Sammy Jackson, Goldie Hess's stablemate and Joe Vargas the Fresno Mexican fought the best battle of the evening and went 10 rounds to a draw. This fight was the best on the card and could have taken the main event's place with ease and no less. It was a close battle all the way. Joe is a more experienced man than Sammy and he knew a little more about the game. Jackson had a little trouble in teaching him with that left of his, and his right found its mark not quite often enough. Joe had an edge in the early part of the battle, but Sammy came back to carp a draw in the eyes of the referee. As stafed above it was a fight fight and a draw was good verdict, although if we had of been splitting hairs we would have given it to Joe. Frankie Diaz and Willie Fausto fought six cantos to a decision, with Frankie grabbing the duke. Diaz hit to often for Willie. BIG CHANGE TO FILM DE PRIEST IN PLANE MISSED Because there was no movie picture camera on hand when Congressman Oscar DePriest took an aeroplane flight from Lincoln Air port last Monday, the record of an important event was missed that was really history.

The Third Degree scored a hit that suprassed by far the play. Experience, the opening vehicle of the new Players. Robert Levy's New Lanyette Players are the last word in drama that is drama and no less. And this story of the police department and its findings in a case that smacks of murder is intensel dramatic from the first line to the last. Rupert Marks The Hard Rupert Marks represents the police department and is a third degree giver that can't be beat. Along with the dramatic appeal the story carries a thrill in every line. It is a spine tickler and no less. It keeps your nerves jumpy and it is one hard matter to sit still in your seat. Wealthy Family Involved The story is woven around the cast off son of a rich New Yorker, who is held for a capital crime. Howard Jefferies Jr. a well to do, good, for nothing son of Howard Jefferies Sr. has married against the family's will and has been cast out in the world on his own. A tough matter when you consider the facts. The kid has nerved work and does not know how and isn't any to anxious to find out. He is in a bad way financially and goes to the apartment of Robert Underwood a college friend to make a loan. Underwood has no money to loan and young Jefferies gets drunk while at the apartment and falls to sleep on the sofa. The young man sleeps until the early hours of the morning and then wakes up to find Underwood dead. He is seen trying to get out of the apartment unseen and is taken by the police. He is given the third degree and confesses to a crime he knows nothing of. The Woman Enters Of course you have been asking where is the woman in the case. It wouldn't be a case if one of the so called weaker sex wasn't mixed up in it. Here is where Miss Howard Jeffries Jr. (Albie Mitchell) enters and proceeds to make things hot for the police. She does not believe her husband guilty and seeks the best legal talent available in the person of Richard Brywer (Andrew Bishop) An interesting story indeed is woven around these two principals and they bring down the house with their superb act- Wonderful Climax Abbie and Andrew work together to bring the story to a wonderful climax. Of course the writer could tell you how it ended and how Robert Underwood did die, but that would spoil it for you and the play runs till Sunday. By all means see it. There will be no regret. Helen Ware Congratulates Miss Mtichell Miss Helen Ware late of New York and Broadway was present by special request from the genial manager of the showhouse Curtis Carpenter. Miss Helen Ware is the actress that played the part of Mrs. Howard Jefferies Jr. on Broadway for one solid year. Miss Ware had nothing but praise for Miss Mitchell and said. "I wouldn't have missed tonight for anything in the world. I think Miss Mitchell is one of the greatest actress I have ever seen. This is the first time I have ever had the pleasure of seeing my part from out in front and words, mere enough to see a great actress as Miss Mitchell do the part." name. Although he had been invited to fly hardly any one expected he would accept until he was seen striding across the field to the plane, as it aighted from a flight with Arie Dickeson and Herbert Banning Bessie Coleman's Club pilot in the cock-pit. Wearing Mario's helmet he climbed into his seat and pilot Banning sailed away high into the air with him, circled over the city, then made a perfect landing, the interpid passenger waving at the cheering crowds from high above the field. WHAT NEXT By Dan Shaw Is it because he is Black or is it because he is an honest fighter, or is it because he is too good that Willie Henry, the greatest light heavyweight fighter on the Pacific Coast, loafs? Promoters have tried to bring him to the front for a box office attraction. They have prevailed upon managers who have good fighters to sign that dotted line and they at once begin to take run out powders and the fighters themselves burrow holes deep into the groun. The color is no barrier. His integrity as a fighter can not be (?) No! No! He is to good too dangerous. He is poison to most any fighter at 175 pounds or better. Frankie Campbell, Wally Frazier, Tom Morgan, Yale Okium, Jimie Braddock and a flock of others have refused to have anything to do with him. The poor boy leaves Los Angeles Sunday noon for parts of a different clime. Like other boys who have brilliance, color and showmanship: Jack Thompson, Jimmy McLarion, Jackie Fields were cold here. Other places have warm hearts for them. Watch this boy Henry. He will soon be heralded as the best boy in his division when Chicago, Detroit and New York see him in action. Martin Gansfield and his stable of black fighters are leaving the city Sunday morning for the big town New York. Gansfield has had a limited territory to find his boys work in the East it is just a stone's throw out of New York to Philadelphia, Boston and other large centers. Richard Smith, a fast stepping boy from New Orleans, who has tangled with the best of them. He was asparring partner for Tony Canzolieric Dago Paulo and Kilo Deker. The he hopped off a freight train here looking for the writer. He shows up very promising in the Gym. He is working with Wild Cat Carter. Watch this 17 year old youngster, he has all the earmarks of another Kid Chocolate Black trainers of fighters are getting more than their share of work conditioning fighters. Ted Frenchie, Bill Neal, Oldiokis Wilmore, Big Boy Smith and many others of lesser light are skipping from the Main street gym to the Manhattan gym hustling like it is nobody's business but their own. Wad Wadham is certainly trying to induce Johnny Risko, K. O. Christner or Tom Mahoney to treacre across country to the Olympic and meet Mack House, the California Bear. Tab Carter to win over Billy Townsend who gained a K. O. decision over him by one of the most atrocious tricks a fighter could ever pull in the ring. Townsend will go back to Seattle a very much washed up fighter after next Tusday night. There will not be any under hand work done in these parts. The Boxing Commission will be on guard against anything that does not look to be on the up and up. Will see you next Tuesday night at the Olympic. What a sweet fighter we have in this boy Ernest Bendy, better known as "Dynamite" Jackson. It is too bad he had old Inferior Complex and the teacher oozing through his cranium when he boxed Neil Cisby. When he forgets all about Cisby ever teaching him and begins to think he is his master the big boy will walk right through all the heavyweights. Jackson actually whipped Long Tom in the gym every day and to top it off, he floored Long Tom Hawkins with a left hook. Hawkins did not like it one bit and for three rounds the main street gym took on all the aspects of a main even at the Olympic. Cherokee Tom Cox has made good in New York according to the reports that Gene Sorrall has brought back from the big city. Cox has a big office, secretary, Cadillac auto, a chauffeur and a stable of fighters that is a credit to any fight manager. He relates Baby Joe Gans is on the shelf with his right Duke in a cast on account of his shindy with Sammy Baker who was on the floor for the count of 9 when the Baby clipped him in the second round and broke his hand.

YELLS CROWD TO HUDKING AT MIDNIGHT SHOW Cheering to the echo the big crowd at the Tivoli Theater last Saturday night where Ace Hudkins middle-weight championship contender, was guest of honor, insisted that he make a speech from the platform.

It is the wedding of the glad rag doll and Ivy Anderson really sings the song in a syncopated way. Ivy says there are certain things the bride to be needs to know and she tells sheer and no less. The costumes for this mock wedding are some of the most beautiful the writer has ever had the pleasurer of seeing. Dazzling white is the predominate color. The chours join in to make the wedding complete and the girls seem to be stepping faster than ever in the chours. That group of girls are burning up the boards. Kaki Steals Show As usual Kaki steals the show. Blackbottom, really runs them wild and when she walks out on the floor they never want to see her go. This heavy set dark skin gal has the habit of staling the show every once in a while and when she is the Kaki she can be she is unbeatable. The song that knocked them dead this week was "I am Doing What I Am Doing for Love," by the same Kaki. She just throws up her arms and lets go and oh how that gal can warble. The big little laoy took three onones before they would even look like letting her go. Sue Hoy Does Elue Hawiwi Suey Hoy has a speciality number called "Blue Hawisi". The chours have special arrangement for this number and Miss Suey sings up a breeze thats hard to buck. C. L. Berks the demon Banjo picker was there with one of the steel guitars to help Suey out and brought them down with his number. Drinard Trio Makes Hit The Drinard Trio known from coast to coast as the best team of dancers in Vodville made a hit and a real one it was. The trio is made up of two girls and a man and they can hoof up and cown this world. Two members of the trio did a gas house number that laid them out. Curtis knows good talent when he sees it. Sugar Foot Brown Sugar Foot Brown and his partner gained a big following. The two kids are clever hoofers and can tap with the best them. Sugar foot did a harp and tap number that was title. But little Ivy Anderson toys them all-that is in my way of thinking Ivy was before the Mike and sang I'll always be in Love With You. And if you know anything about love Ivy told you a little more and if you didn't you were lucky to have a girl like Anderson tell you. Ted Lewis-Charlie Witty Present After the regular show Curtis started gazing around and spotted a bunch of the big timers up town and called them out for number. Ted Lewis was there and took a bow. Ted declined to do a number pleading a hard day and saving himself for Friday night on Mosby's Anniversary. But Charlie Witty the boy Bojangles strutted his stuff first rate on the 29th of this month. Accompanying him were his brother Art and Abner, 'Hap O'Conor, Charley Long and the ladies of the party. Goldie Hess that little windmill from down the beachway was there with his stable mate Johnny Torres. The game boy that took Carter came out and took a bow. The folks gave him a big hand. K. M. T. R. Radio Artist The two Black Aces from Radio-land station K.M.T.R. were there with their guitars and gave them a little radio music. Gus Jones Goes Back To Work Gus Jones known as the Apex Special, who has been off because of sickness had his favorite "You Is one More 'Ugly Child'" and got his job back quick like a minute. Kid Hoss a sidekick of Gus's did a famous Bert Williams number and was well received. Two Follies Stars Miss White and Miss Ramsay of the Follies were present at a ring side seat and came out and gave us a little of Main Streets best. The two girls are very good and got a hand, a very good hand. Miss Wiles formerly of Strutting Along did Sax number that knocked them dead. Stanley Brown Closes Stanley Brown of the R.K.O. closed the professional show with some eastern hoofing that was above par excellence. I knew there was something I was leaving out. As a special request Ivy Anderson and John Porter did "Am I Blue." Let me tell you right here folks Ivy puts Ethel Waters to shame every time she sings that song and she gets better every time. You all know Porter he makes his cornet talk. WINTER LEAGUE MOGULS MEET At a meeting of the All-Professional Winter League officials on Tuesday noon at White Sox Park, the schedule for the forthcoming season was submitted and adopted. Representatives of the four clubs, namely Shell Oil, White Kings, Pirrone, All-Star, and Royal Giants were present. A roster of each team's proposed players were submitted and will be weeded out to avoid any club confusion. A complete roster of players and schedule will be issued from the final league meeting on next Wednesday, just prior to the season opening. LONNIE GOODWIN BAGX IN RANKS Complete harmony reigned at the meeting. The officials were optimistic on the outlook for the coming season. Lonnie Goodwin was welcome back into the managerial ranks of the winter leaguers. Indications were that the new season would probably open on October 12th. NEW UMPIRE SYSTEM AS-SURES EAIRNESS A new feature of the league was the unanimous appointment of Grant Leishner as chief arbiter. Leishner will have complete authority for the selection of the four league umpires from a list of thirty, arrange their schedule and hire and fire at his discretion. This procedure will eliminate from the minds of the fans that the teams have selected any of the umpires and are receiving any favors because of that selection.

The automobile overturned on the Albany Avenue boulevard and her escort fled, according to the police, abandoning Miss Williams and the car. She was brought to the hospital by a patrolman. Accident Bureau investigators impounded the machine and are now seeking the driver, whose name Miss Williams has given them. According to the police, the car is owned by Arthur Cramer, 520 Oriental avenue, but he was not in it at the time. COLN ATRE CENTRAL Ave. of 23rd St Humboldt 7804 Friday, October 4, 1989 RailroaD ClatteR By P. P. B. A. HOLDS ELECTION It's a sure sign that the winter months are fast approaching whenever elections are started you can next look for rain. The first election to come is that of the P. P. B. A. of A with the following candidates in the field—L. A. Coffin and A. Noel for Grand Delegate; R. J. Murray for chairman; Holland for Vice; Payne for Secy. and Dan Hood for Treasurer. These men have thrown their hats in the field for the offices mentioned. Murray and Payne wish to succeed themselves and deserve the support of the members as they have done some splendid work. A. Noel was delegate to the convention last year. L. A. Coffin has been in close touch with affairs of the P. P. B. A. ever since its existence and delegate to the convention several times. He ought to know what it's all about. He has fought for a hundred per cent membership in the P. P. B. A. and deservice the serious consideration of its members. The office of Grand Delegate and Chairman are about the only important ones outside of the secretary, and it is up to the men to put the best in their estimation in them. Many changes may come about in the higher offices of the P. P. B. A. within the year, so we cannot be too careful in selecting our representatives. J. L. HILL COMES IN FOR SIGNAL HONOR Open your eyes and look at what has transpired in the last week, and you will have to acknowledge that Mr. J. L. Hill is considered one of the most reliable and leading citizens of the city of Los Angeles. It was Mr. Hill's honor to be the first man to sit side by side with the Hon. Congressman, Oscar DePriest of Illinois. Gentlemen, I say that is quite an honor. Mr. Hill drove up to the Southern Pacific Depot last Sunday in his Model 30 Cadillac which was beautifully decorated and parked in the red zone line without fear of being put in jail by a motorcycle police for violating the parking ordinance, because everything has all been arranged before hand to make it convenient for Mr. Hill to have his thing of beauty in readiness for the Hon. Congressman, Oscar DePriest. We all feel proud of our friend, Mr. Hill, and I am not afraid to state that should Mr. Hill desire to enter politics he would get the unstinted support of the citizens of Los Angeles. J. CARTER GETS HIS It's a long lane that has no turn. Our friend, Mr. J. Carter who has been bucking the extra board for the past five years simply because he has always been able to get a car up and down the coast line on the "Lark" or "Sunset." was taken down a notch or two when the man signed his royal highness out to a car to Portland. This was far from his idea of where he should go, so he wigged out of it. But in doing so he brought down the wrath of the man who has the power. From now on you are liable to see Mr. Carter on the desert or any place but the cool coast line. BAKER HEATER NEW It has been rumored about that in the near future, the Southern Pacific will put on a second lark composed entirely of room cars. This of course will call for more men. SANTA FE LINES TIED UP A deluge of rain was the cause of all trans-continental trains on the Santa Fe lines being late last week. The Chief on two different days was over 30 hours late and Santa Fe Red Caps were fighting over the gravy. THE HUMOROUS HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HON. CONGRESSMAN OSCAR DEPRIEST'S VISIT TO LOS ANGELES The humble population of Los Angeles never realized that the 50th anniversary of the California Eagle would tie up traffic for 7 miles of street car tracks—BUT that's what it did. The numerals 1878 to 1929, according to our distinguished guest, means that we have been dead politically for that period. That is the reason that Mr. J. L. Hill was selected to drive the Hon. Congressman around town; Mr. Hill is an Undertaker. "Did you notice that the Congressman's voice became hoarse during his talk on Sunday?" He was informed that he had been riding around town with an Undertaker. All the California Eagle scribes were at the depot for an interview with the Congressman. The writer was there to interview the Pullman Porter. His name was Duncan, and he did not have a smile on his face when I went into the car. It seems that during the rush Porter Duncan was overlooked. When interviewed Duncan swore he would vote the Democrat ticket the balance of his life. The hottest looking things at the depot were Mr. Carpentier's Lincoln Theatre Usherettes. When Mrs. DePriest spied them, she said: "Now Oscar, be yourself." Whoever selected the ushers certainly knew what they were doing. They took them from every church and religion in the city, from Baptist on down to Adventist, nothing like keeping peace. The Eagle staff was supposed to be on the platform. Did you see them? I thought that I was a part of the Eagle staff, but I had a hard time getting in the stage door. They didn't even no me. RIVERSIDE NEWS By Mrs. W. G. Williams Services at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday were conducted by Rev. C. I. Lockart who preached a very helpful sermon. We are proud to note the increase in membership of the Sunday School. The watermotion reast given Monday night by the Second Baptist Church was the source of much enjoyment to all who attended. Russell Wooding Is Going Big (By: A. N. P.) New York, Sept. 23—Russel Wooding, the foremost colored musical arranger, is in Boston supervising the finishing touches on Vincent Youman's "Great Day." Wooding has also been retained by Benjamin David, one of Broadway's foremost theatrical agents, who organize and train a colored unit of singers to support Daniel Haynes. LIZZARD CHOKES CAT TO DEATH San Mateo, Cal., Sept. 25—In the beautiful flower garden of W. G. Hyman, a huge tom cat was cheated out of eight lives here today when he attempted to swallow a lizard. For some time the cat had been catching lizards from the garden until today when he attacked one too large and attempted to swallow, but I can readily see the advantage of having your picture at the head of your column, did you notice how easily Gladyce Greenaway got in the front row. Harry Levette was the head scribe there, when he writes an article, it goes all over the United States. Aviation hats were the popular wear for the ladies. Did you notice the armoured helmet Mrs. A. Hill had on? Mrs. C. Bass was thinking of 1878 instead of 1929, the only thing she lacked was a blue hair ribbon to bring her back to the days of yore. There was every kind of car in that parade from a cadilac on down to a Ford. The writer was in Mr. Lamar's car and we were holding our breath for fear that we would run out of gas, but we made it. For the benefit of those who were sitting in the top row of the auditorium, Mr. Bass was the Master of ceremonies. Do not be alarmed, those empty seats were all paid for, they were supposed to be filled but the people wer caught in a traffic jam at Central and Jefferson, and never arrived. The flag drill of the 20 little Misses under the direction of Mrs. Lauretta Buttler will be presented at the next election. Att'y Lewis K. Beeks was there with an Eagle eye for business. If we could have just transferred the platform guest to the auditorium. I think we could have filled that barn place. I think we all need a copy of that Declaration of Independence, maybe it will tell us how to put the American Flag on our automobiles. You got to hand it to Dr. Hudson. He made a talk that was brief and to the point. The little girl who sang the song that was composed by Mrs. Bass, took the show. That big fat Elk Band leader could not stand the heat on the stage. So he beat it to the exit for air. Mr. Titus Alexander was very attentive to the wee little bit of girls. He got his instructions on the bigger ones before he left home. E. L. Dorsey was very much in evidence. He was looking for prospective customers. Fay Robinson was the FLASH of the day. That Benj. Bowie Post, certainly looked hot. The Wilshire Blvd. district was deserted of automobiles Sunday. All the chauffers were in the parade. The blue blood are complaining that they were sadly neglected on their Sunday dinner service. Many will be glad when the Congressman leaves. Alleged Rapist To Die October 30 (Bv: A. N. P.) Salisbury, N. C. Sept. 23—It required just 24 minutes for a jury here Tuesday morning to decide that Huzy Jackson was guilty of criminal assault on a prominent white woman and the court sentenced him to die in the electric chair October 30. Jackson declared that he was innocent of the crime with which he was charged and swore that he had arrived in Salisbury just a short time after the alleged attack had occurred. He maintained that he was not here at the time as given by the state and all of the grilling of the state prosecutor could not make him change his story. He was arrested near the scene of the attack and was positively identified by the victim and following the imposition of the sentence was carried back to the State Prison at Raleigh to await execution. Another Show with Offensive Title (By: A. N. P.) New York, Sept. 23—Plans for a production to be known as "Big Nigger" are being made by a downtown producer with the whole show world! RIVERSIDE NEWS By Mrs. W. G. Williams Services at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday were conducted by Rev C. J. Lockart who preached a very helpful sermon. We are proud to note the increase in membership of the Sunday School. The watermelon reast given Monday night by the Second Baptist Church was the source of much enjoyment to all who attended. Misses Cathering Stevens. Bell Roswell and Mrs. Ella Stephen. Mrs. Sweet Martin and Mrs. Bertha Armstrong played a game of base ball last week which resulted in the defeat of Mrs. Stephen to Mrs. Armstrong, 13 to 9. The game was full of pep and enthusiasm. Mrs. Martin, who spent the summer in Chicago visiting her mother, Ella Wiley has returned to her home. Mrs. Bertha Armstrong accompanied by her brother, Henry Wiley left this week for Chicago, where they will make their future home. The weiner roast given by the Misses C. Stephen, Boswell, Martin and Mesdames Armstrong and Ella Stephen last week was enjoyed by every one. Misses Martin and Armstrong entertained friends from Los Angeles last week. Mrs. F. W. Cooper entertained last Sunday with a five course dinner honoring Mesdames Martin and Armstrong. Rev. C. H. Harris and family have returned from Conference which convened in Los Angeles. He was returned to Allen Chapel for another year and his friends are proud of the fact that all reports from the church went over the top. Mrs. Ella Ricks and Miss Ruth Porter were delegates from the Women's Mite Missionary Society to the Conference. Mrs. W. G. Williams of 380 East 10th Street attended the Conference last Sunday and remained over Monday for the reception that was given in honor of Mrs. Oscar Depriest. Mrs. E. E. Pitts, president of Riverside Women's Uplifting Club was one of the hostess last Monday afternoon assisting others caring for the large crowd who were guests of the reception honoring Mrs. DePriest wife of Congressman DePriest. The Sick Mrs. Starling Hopkins is reported improving at this writing. Mr. Sol Stovall is dangerously ill at his home on East 11th Street. Mr. and Mrs. Mays on East Moody Street are the proud parents of a son born last week. Also a son to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Scott. Both families are receiving the congratulations of their friends. YOUNG PEOPLE HONORED The social season of Long Beach was appropriately opened last Wednesday evening with a most beautifully appointed dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gray at their home 1473 Orange Ave., honoring four young friends of the host and hostess. Around a centerpiece of Asters the table was set for fourteen guests beautiful tall candles gave off their soft light over the gleaming silver and wonderful decorations, seeming not only to increase their beauty but also to throw around the guests a feeling of closer comradeship. The dinner was a most perfect result of the well known culinary skill of the hostess, but one of the high spots of the menu was a most delectable cake (that really melted in your mouth) baked by one of the honored guests Mr. Robert L. Adams of New York City, who although young in years, would give any experienced cateress or chef a good race. Cards were enjoyed the earlier part of the evening 'but were forgotten when such wonderful dance music, as is broadcasted from Sebastian's Cotton Club and the Roosevelt Hotel, came floating from a large Majestic radio. Just what time even the first guest mentioned going home is a secret which the following guests have never told; Misses Margaret Jeffrey and Lellian Veal, both prominent young ladies of Long Beach and honors of the occasion; Mr. Robert L. Adams of New York city who expects to stay the winter in Long Beach; Mr. McKinley Knox well known young orator of Los Angeles and Law student at U. S. C., both young men also honored guests; Mr. A. B. Walker, worshipful master of Sunset Lodge of Long Beach and wife; Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Howard; Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Walker; Mrs. Amanda Stephens; Mrs. Estelle Johnson and Mr. Milo Mack. Mr. and Mrs. Gray are well known residents of Long Beach, Mr. Gray being a city employee for many years and Mrs. Gray-is now present matron of Queen Beach Chapter of Eastern Star and also an officer of the Golden State Grand Chapter. opposed to the play because of the title. Both actors and theater owners are loathe to accept the play and unless the title is changed, there will be trouble putting it over. (By: A. N. P.) New York, Sept. 23—Russel Wooding, the foremost colored musical arranger, is in Boston supervising the finishing touches on Vincent Youman's "Great Day." Wooding has also been retained by Benjamin David, one of Broadway's foremost theatrical agents, who organize and train a coloré unit of singers to support Daniel Haynes and Victoria Spively in a musical act designed to play the Radio-Keah-Orpheum Circuit. Wooding is scoring the orchestrations for the act and supervising the music. This unit has been in rehearsal at the Florence Mills Theatrical Association. GARVEY CITED FOR CONTEMPT Kingston, Jamica, Sept. 23—Marcus Garvey on Wednesday will have to show cause why he should not be committed to prison for contempt of court for "uttering and publishing scandalous and contemptuous statements concerning the judges of His Majesty's Court" according to a motion served on him here Tuesday morning. Garvey was recently re-elected president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, at the regular convention of the organization. Following closely in the wake of this convention, which was termed as the most colorful affair ever staged in the Islands, it is reported that a court order was issued confiscating property of the association. ARMED MAN ESCAPES FROM LYNCHERS (By The Associated Negro Press) Osceola, Ark. Sept. 23 - A luching was in the making here Tuesday when it was reported that a Negro had accosted a white girl near her home, which is located about three miles from here. When the reports was circulated and the description received, a mob of a hundred or more men, armed themselves and prepared to search for the alleged assailant. The swamps and all possible hiding places were investigated and after the mob could not find the man, the case was reported to the officers. The girl declared that an "unknown Negro" who was armed with a revolver had accosted her on the road and that she screamed. Her sister was attracted by the outcry and drove the armed man away. Georgia Solons Let Street Car Bill Suffocate Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 23-By ANP-Inter-racial leaders in Georgia are gratified at the complete and ignominious failure of a feeble effort made by a member of the recent legislature to add to the state's burden of segregation laws. The bill, which was introduced by a representative from one of the rural counties, provided that the races must be separated in street cars and busses by an actual partition instead of by an intangible and shifting line, as at present, or else must be carried in separate conveyances. Apparently nobody took the measure seriously and it died so quietly that very few knew what became of it. Even the few members of the committee on railroads who voted to report it favorably, stated at the same time that if it ever came to a vote in the house they would oppose it. As a matter of fact, however, it never reached the floor of the legislature for discussion or vote, nor was it even placed on the calendar for consideration. Evidently the legislature felt that enough, even of segregation, was "quite a plenty." Cap Resigns on Eve of Drunkeness Trial Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 23—By A. N. P.—James Rockford, patrolman, accused of having been intoxicated while on duty in the signal tower at Kentucky and Artie Avenues, and failed to flash the fire signal, during a fire, tendered his resignation to Commissioner Cuthbert, effective from the time he was suspended. Postponement of the hearing of John Jones, and Charles Ford, patrolmen, on charges of conduct unbecoming members of the police department, was granted by Commissioner on motion of counsel for the defendants. The patrolmen are charged with having been friendly with Lillie May Evans, while they were acting as turnkeys at the city jail and the girl was an inmate of the detention room. Commissioner Cuthbert has summoned Sheriff Cimino to produce the girl in the hearing on the date in question, together with Annette Moore, who happened to be an inmate at the time the irregularities are alleged to have taken place. San Mateo, Cal., Sept. 25.—In the beautiful fawner garden of W. G. Hyman, a huge tom cat was cheated out of eight lives here today when he attempted to swallow a lizard. For some time the cat had been catching lizards from the garden until today when he attacked one too large and attempted to swallow, but didn't get it half down. The cat got dazed with the lizard's tail hanging out of his mouth and hath died within an hour. Chicago, Sept. 23—By A.N.P.—Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire was accosted by a bailiff when he arrived here Tuesday morning to answer queries as to why he could not pay all or at least a portion of a bill of more than $2,000 which the Wood-for-President organization contracted with the Vincennes Hotel here nine years ago. During the campaign the organization sent delegates to the Vincennes Hotel and contracted a bill of $1,850 of which only $1,500 was paid. The matter has been in the hands of attorneys for some years and when the senator, who was in charge of the organization visited here recently he was served with the bill. Attorney Ernest C. Renif, who is the council for the hotel in discussing the affair said: "We heard the senator was in town and began action on behalf of our client. Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, who owned the Vincennes Hotel at 36th St. and Vincennes Avenue in 1920. The Wood people sent their colored delegates there and were supposed to pay the bill. Nine years ago it amounted to $3,850, and all we've been able to collect is $1,500, paid us by Col. A. A. Sprague. "Senator Moses was in charge of the Washington headquarters for Gen. Wood and managed the campaign in the southern states from which these delegates came. We contend the courts will hold him responsible."

J., Sept. 23—Dr. Pompey Long Hawkins died at his home, 1813 Artic Avenue, at 9 o'clock Sunday morning after a lingering illness.
