Presidential Appointment Given
VOLUME 42
The many friends of Paul Williams far famed architect and strictly a Los Angeles boy will be pleased to know that he has been appointed by the President as one of the Commissioners for the erection of the Memorial to be built at Washington, D. C. at a cost of approximately two million dollars. T selec tion of Paul, which by the way is the first National recognition given the group on the coast for more than a decade, is popular from all angles. He was placed in nomination by the Hon Joe Crail to whom the editor of this paper wrote asking him to support Paul Williams for this position and at the same time we published an article in this publication advocating the same.
Andrew Bishop, Evelyn Preer, Lionel Monagas Star in Famous War Play
HARD BOILED TOP SER
GEANT 'AND CAPTAIN
MAKE GREAT STORY
"What Price Glory?" Yes! "What Price Glory", that great and soul-stirring war play of ten years back is being reproduced at the Lincoln Theatre by Robert Levy, who presents the famous Lafayettes in their greatest—up to date.
Let me drop a word of warning right here, if you have a weak heart! and can't stand rough language and the starks truth as it is presented in the army don't go, but if you like to see men when they really are men in every sense of the word go and see the greatest play this writer has ever had the pleasure of viewing with no exceptions.
SAME OLD STORY
In the long run it is the same story the world over. No matter how big a war is a woman has to have something to say and do about it. And that is just what this great story is about.
Two soldiers of the world, men that have traveled from one end of the globe to the other, have seen everything to be seen and have done everything to be done take Uncle Sam's time to settle personal grudges.
Andrew Bishop, the incomparable, plays the part of Captain Flagg, a worldly wise and a tough hombre if there ever was one. Lionel Monagas comes to the fore with the characterization of Top Sergeant Quirt.
WONDERFUL EVELYN
The only Miss Preer takes the part of the woman and as usual plays it to perfection.
It develops that Flagg and Quirt have crossed each other's paths year after year in the arm and they are poised to each other, especially when it comes to the weaker sex. Flagg hates Quirt worse than he hates a diamond-back rattle snake and the Top loves his officer just about as much.
THINGS PICK UP
Captain Flagg is sitting pretty in a little French village, with the Inn Keeper's daughter as his special property, when right out of a clear sky he loses his Top and gets word he is to have another in a short time. Imagine his chagrin when Serg Quirt walks up. The men have not seen each other since they were in Cuba together, where Flagg broke Quirt, thus keeping him from rating a captain as himself.
Curtis Mosby and his Blue Syncopators with Princess O'Bell in the helm provide a well balanced musical program.
Stands Her Ground
Mrs. Artis Young who recently purchased a residence home at 1332 East 58th Place, has demonstrated that she will stand her ground and live her life as the constitution provides and stand she has against the sinister dacts of race prejudice, and hate. She branches the slinking cowards who set fire to her dwelling and not unlike Barbara Fritchie in the Civil War; shakes her fist at the brazen cowards and dares them to do their worst. Of course the cowardly curs would not show themselves but in Mrs. Young's absence, set fire to and burned two houses. Now she has decided to be home at all times, in this situation she has discovered another plot, destroyed the infernal machine which the cowards planted in her home. But is still standing her grounds as the cowardly fiends are put to flight.
Citizens Meeting Adopts Resolutions In Full Support of Mayor Porter; District Attorney Buron Fitts; Police Commission; Grand Jury In Their Efforts To Clean Up All of Los Angeles
"Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the weary land."
Dr. H. Claude Hudson in his capacity as a private citizen having in mind a situation which he thought called for counsel for a few of the leaders, invited among others the leading ministers of the city for a conference on last Tuesday night to be held at the Second Baptist church.
Many of the ministers unguardedly without closely scrutinizing the letter took for granted the notice was to their congregations and had them read to the congregations. As a result the auditorium of the basement was well filled on Monday evening much to the dismay of the doctor. However, they were there and something must be done in the premises. The meeting was therefore called to order and Dr. Hudson explained as noted above.
Many rumors started by busy bodies during the interim which gave various angles as the purpose of the meeting, had surcharged those gathered and as a consequence anything could happen. The explanation therefore by the Doctor in a way dispelled from the minds of many the inseudes which had been broadcast. The meeting was therefore declared a citizens' meeting with the purpose of carrying out the idea of a round table conference as first conceived by Dr. Hudson.
It was organized by electing Dr. H. C. Hudson as temporary chairman and Mrs. Taylor as secretary.
It was duly moved and seconded and carried that a committee of 12 be selected to form the conference; also in the same manner a committee of three was appointed to select the 12. This committee retired and soon reported 12 names.
However in the meantime a sentiment steadily gathered that even this was not wanted and when C. S. Blodgett made a motion as follows:
"At a meeting of Colored citizens called at the instance of Dr. H. C. Hudson, at the Second Baptist church Monday evening, October 21st, the following motion proposed by C. S. Blodgett, and seconded by J. B. Bass was passed by a unanimous vote.
"That the citizens here assembled go on record as being in thorough accord with the District Attorney, Mayor Porter, the Police Commission and all other officials in their effort to clean up all Los Angeles of corruption, graft and vice. Further that the Secretary be instructed to inform the above named officials of this action."
It was quickly adopted and upon motion of J. B. Bass, the meeting adjourned and called it a day.
Bishop Robt. E. Jones Preaches at Hamilton M. E. Church
Bishop Robert E. Jones, D. D., LL.D., the first Negro Bishop elected in the Methodist Episcopal Church, will preach at Hamilton M. E. Church, E. 18th St. and Naomi Ave. 11 o'clock Sunday, November 3rd. Bishop Jones as a preacher of power and eloquence, needs no introduction in Los Angeles. The public of Los Angeles is cordially invited to hear him on the above mentioned date. You will miss a rare treat if you fail to be present. The famous Hamilton Choir will render choice music for the occasion. Bishop Jones will also deliver one of his many famous lectures at Wesley M. E. Church, 8th and San Julian, on Tuesday evening, November 5th. Admission to this lecture will be free. Come out and hear him.
Bishop M. W. Clair, D. D., LL. D., will also visit Los Angeles, on Sunday, November 10th. He will preach at Wesley at 11 A. M. on that day, and at the First M. E. Church, 8th and Hope, at 1.30 P. M. in a joint service, with Hamilton and Wesley. Further notice of these service will be given.

AFFAIRS OF COLORED NORMAL INSTITUTE ARE RE-COUNTED IN WINDUP OF COURT SUIT
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Even though inadvertently called, a large and representative meeting, of Colored citizens on last Tuesday night at the Second Baptist Church, took no chances of any misunderstanding whatever and went on record fairly and squarely for law and order.
Then to further accentuate its stand the meeting passed a resolution to the Mayor, the District Attorney, Police (commissioners) that it stood squarely behind them in their efforts to clean house in this city. In other words they said, "hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may."
The meeting stressed ALL LOS ANGELES, meaning not to show any partiality in the enforcement of the law.
To this situation no law-abiding citizen can say naught and we are heartily in accord with the same and in doing so we have not departed from our stand at all times and in every crisis through which we have witnessed in this city or any other in which we have labored.

SCHOOL FOR COLLE ABATED I
Battle of Vallejo Negro Judge Closes
AFFAIRS OF COLORED NO COUNTED IN WIND
Times-Herald, Vallejo, Calif., Oct. 16. Superior Judge W. T. O'Donnell today issued an order closing the Vallejo Industrial and Normal Institute for Negroes.
Judge O'Donnell's decision ended a long fight between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people and Prof. C. H. Toney, principal of the school.
While trouble has been existing between the Association and Plof. Toney for a long time, it was not brought to a head until three months ago, when papers were filed against Toney seeking abatement of the school on the grounas that he was morally unfit to conduct such an institution.
Included in the complaint were the charges that he was conducting the institute in an atmosphere detrimental to the morals of the children and that he was a too vicious and immoral person to be in attendance with girl stu-

Police Stops Rampage
(By: A. N. P.)
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 22—L. H. Harris got hold of some bad moonshine Wednesday morning—some of the variety which causes the drinker to fight. In keeping with the orders of his liquor he got his gun and went on a rampage. His first stop was a cafe where he ran all of the customers out ordered a meal, ate it, threatened to shoot the owner.
His second stop was the police station, but not because he wanted to go there. When he left the cafe he was accosted by two officers who ordered him to throw up his hands. Harris sent to draw his gun but a black jack descended upon his head and his troubles were over for a while. He woke up a sober but aching man.

ORMAL INSTITUTE ARE RE-UP OF COURT SUIT
TEACHER TESTIMONY RECALLED
During the course of the trial it was brought out in testimony that Miss Ione Coleman, teacher, had left the school after Prof. Toney was alleged to have made certain advances toward her. Miss Coleman claimed, while on the witness stand, that when she would not accede to his wishes, he fired her. She was employed at the school for only a few weeks.
Other witnesses testified as to the condition of the school and to his morals. The books of the institute were brought into the case as testimony. It was revealed while Prof. Tony was on the witness stand that there were only one student in the school this semester, that a Negro girl from Texas. She claimed to be 20 years old.
It was further brought out at the trial that the school thrived on the money received from solicited contributions from citizens in Napa, Solano, Yolo and other counties.
IS CHIEF DAVIS FIT? IF YOU THINK SO READ OF HIS UNCIVILIZED PROCEDURE IN MAKING RAID ON THE HIGH-CLASS AND WELL-CONDUCTED APEX NITE CLUB
Under the direction of Lieutenant W. R. Shubert, head of the Newton street division Vice Squad which station is under the command of Captain Hager, when the entertainment of the Apex Nite club was at its height on last Saturday night swooped down upon it with five other officers and ruthlessly lined up the patrons for the purpose of searching for violations of the Wright Act. Out of SIX HUNDRED guests assembled they captured FOUR small flasks of intoxicants, placed the vile and impious wretches under arrest and they evidently were satisfied if not content.
SOUTHWEST ROCKY MOUNTAIN CONFERENCE CLOSES SUCCESSFUL SESSION AT HANFORD, CAL.
It is said that sinister motives are behind the molestation of the Apex club. The rumor runs according to report that there are envious managers of high class cafes and clubs throughout the city and its environs who would delight in seeing the downfall of the Apex club. We do not pretend to say the vice squad is in league with any thought of the kind, but is more than passing strange that the squad would pull off this sort of stunt in making a raid, and let it go heralded in the big dalles what a conquest they had made with FOUR mealy half pints of liquor out of 600 assembled guests.
It is known that the management is scrupulously careful and even alert, to keep out intoxicating liquor and does not allow the same under no circumstances knowing the presence thereof. If perchance this vice squad would pounce upon the Broadway Department Store, Bullocks or Robinson, et al and make searches of its patrons, we will wager they would find far in excess of four half pints upon the bips of its patrons.
Apex Nite Show Great Attraction
The magnet which draws the people in such great numbers to the Apex, is the rare and superior entertainment offered. The incomparable "Mosby's Dixie Blue Blowers" with music which waits one figuratively upon the winds, they like it, they enjoy it and come in drives to hear it. They again Mosby spares no pains or expense to procure the very best talent in the country to entertain his clientele from the front near to see and to hear. All of the great stars feel they have not seen Los Angeles if they miss going to the famous Apex Nite club.
As a matter of fact globe trotters, and all of those in the know, pronounce the show at this club the equal to any and superior to ninety per cent of all the floor shows in America.
Business Factor
The Apex ranks as one of the best conducted entertainments institutions extant and its boss, Curtis Moshy one of the best business men in our community. He is strong for law and order and does not hesitate to do his full bit for any of the propositions which tend to advance the progress of the city in which he lives. Likewise his service is always available for every worthwhile movement to help mankind. The vice squad was aware of his willingness to co-operate with them in quelching any violation of the law and it was therefore a surprise and
The ninth annual session of the Southwest Rocky Mountain Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, met in Howard Chapel A. M. E. Zion Church, Hanford, California, October 9-13, with Bishop J. W. Martin, presiding. The opening session was both spiritual and spirited. The devotional service was conducted by Rev. Mrs. Gussie E. Bufford, evangelist of the conference. This service engendered stimulus for all future sessions.
At the close of the devotional period Bishop Martin took charge, and called the conference to order and in his usual characteristic pleasing manner, made remarks apropos the occasion. After singing the usual conference opening hymn, "And are we yet alive," Rev. S. W. Hawkins was introduced by the Bishop, and preached the annual sermon. At the conclusion of which Bishop Martin assisted by Presiding Elders T. Allen Harvey and G. W. Reed, administered the Holy Communion.
After the conclusion of this part of the opening service, the conference was duly organized by electing Rev. J. E. McCorkle, secretary and Rev. W. R. Lovell, assistant secretary and the appointment of reporters to the various papers, etc. The being fin-
raised a question mark in its action on last Saturday night.
MAKES SECOND RAID
In the above article appears a write-up of what we termed the unwarranted humiliation of innocent visitors at the Apex Nite Club, wherein they lined up 600 customers without any warrant of law or making known they were officers, in search of intoxicating liquor. Out of 600 customers they found four half pints on the hips of four customers.
It seems they were not satisfied and down comes a star crew of the Chief's own squad from Central Station on the following Wednesday night, something like sixteen strong and entering the Cafe they spread out and put on a regular wild west performance in the manner in which they sought liquor from the individuals gathered there. They had no respect for women; entered the dressing rooms of the girls who were nude making changes of their attire. When protest was made, they said shut up, you are not the first naked women we have seen. It is said they patted women and closely searched them in their quest for booze, and man-handed everybody with whom they came in contact.
Plants of course were arranged for and were all present and set up to make it look bad for the Apex Club.
About fourteen were placed under arrest and were whisked to the station in two patrols.
Now what we want to protest against is not the unlawful possession by any body of intoxicating liquor. That is a violation of the law and any person in possession of the same simply takes their chances. Mosby can't search people and find out what they have on their person and nobody expects him, to but it is the uncivilized and barbarous conduct of the vice squad which is striving to in this manner discredit absolutely the outstanding, legitimate place of amusement of the western coast.
We aver there is big time stuff behind these raids for there are other places than the Apex where booze is on the hip. Chief Davis right now cannot find any other place it seems and this makes it suspicious to the uninitiated as to just why this particular club should be so highly honored by Chief Davis's Central Station Vice Squad.
The present city administration long since announced its policy would not be to harass legitimate business and we are firm in our conviction that it means what it says and such an occurrence will hardly happen again.
State Jubilee Week at Independent Church
The past week was observed as State Jubilee week at the Independent Church, corner of 18th and palma Sts. Each state had a booth for the entire week, and one night was given to a group of states to present any kind of program that they might choose. The state winning the contest will receive a beautiful silver loving cup, and a very beautiful banner.
Sunday, October 27th, will be observed as the climax day to jubilee week. The lucky state will receive its inscribed, the various committees took up their stations and proceeded as the roll was called to receive the personal and General Claims. This was systematically and quietly done. The following visitors were introduced to the conference, Revi. W. J. Byers, J. L. McCoy, E. J. Mgruder, L. Kinard and Presiding Elder Harvey, all of the California Conference.

This busy lawyer with offices in the heart of the city never allows an opportunity to slip by which, per chance, the Negro press may be benefitted. When, as a race, we shall produce more of his type, truly a constructive program for race building will have started.

Kelly Kars to Take
Royal Giants for Ride
FORMER WHITE KING PLAYERS
TO TACKLE ROYAL GIANTS
FOR FIRST TIME DURING
LEAGUE SEASON
The Kelly Kars is the name of the "base ball racketeers" who will be at the White Sox-Park on Saturday and Sunday to take Lonnie Goodwin and his slugging Royal Giants "for a ride." The Kelly Kars are the reconditioned White King ball players masquerading under the moniker of a new paint job. It will be just too bad if the Royal Giants fail to recognize the former soap makers in their new disguise and consider them too lightly, because they will be doomed to disappoint and defeat. This particular team has been the hardest team for the Giants to beat during the whole five years of Winter Base Ball and in its new revised form they are destined to be even harder.
The Kelly Kars have a quartette of "willow wielders" in Cox, Brazil, Jahan and Jenkins that have broken up many a game in the White Sox Ball orchard when the game seemed to be "on ice" for the Glants. To not recognize these sluggers in the Karmen uniform is like playing with dynamite before an open fireplace. Effort is being made to get Charlie Root or Pat Malone for Sundays game. However, by taking both games from the hard hitting Pirrone Major League Stars on last Saturday and Sunday, proves that Wm. Boykins has put a team into Lonnie Goodwin's hands that know what that game of base ball is all about. They matched the Major Leaguers in pitching, fielding and hitting, getting six of the ten home runs and then breezed in with the "bacon" on both

games. Livingston, a new comer to the diant roster, was the outstanding star of both games, collecting two home runs, a double and a couple of singles. Mothel, Rogan and Joseph also hit long homers during the series.
With two wins and no defeats, the Royal Giants are sitting on top of the winter league loop. They are also leading the league in pitching and home runs and will have to fight desperately on next Saturday and Sunday to retain that lead.
Manager Goodwin will test the metal of his new pitcher, Charleston this week end and believes that in Cooper and Brewer, he has two regulars that can silence the Karmen's bats. He is wishing them luck—they may need it.
Lafayettes to Offer Musical Comedy Mon.
"Tangerine," musical comedy sensation of New York, will be presented for the first time on the Pacific Coast next Monday night when the Lafayette Players open the tuneful show at the Lincoln Theatre.
Producer Robert Levy has made a special effort to make this the greatest show ever presented by the Lafayettes, not only obtaining a brand new show but assembling the most brilliant cast of race artists ever seen on the Pacific Coast.
Abbie Mitchell, probably the best known colored concert star in America, will have one of the leading roles in this new show and it is expected this fact alone will be enough to pack the popular Central Avenue house. Miss Mitchell has already demonstrated her vocal abilities through her work in "Experience," the opening production of the current season.

Skeets and Lost Motion, a team of Avenue boys put the only black mark on the show when they pulled a couple of rank and raw jokes that are fitted for Main street and nothing more.
LARRY HARRISON OF LULU BELLE
Larry Harrison, juvenile lead in the current stage hit "Lulu Belle" was the guest of honor and got quite a hand.
Syl Scott's hot band, with Alton Redd at the drums rounded out a very good show.
The Pironne boys deserve a break along with his players of all teams and it looks like a profitable season for all concerned.

BACKS UP
Elks made Langford back up time and time again, when the going would be getting hot, for the simple reason that Sammy wasn't in shape to take any thing.
The Mexican took eight out of ten rounds. Quite a fight on Langford's part. I should think not.
GREATEST MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTEST FOR ALL TIME
The advance guard of the dyed-in-the-linen fight fans, followers of the game, and a few newspaper correspondents are already on the skirmish line here for the big invasion of buglistic satellites, who will swarm on Wrigley. Field for the Walker-Hudkins middleweight championship bout here October 29.
So far One Eye Connolly has not put in his appearance though he has made a bid for gratis reservation in the press row, which was firmly and politely declined by Promoter Jack Doyle.
The Walker-Hudkins bout promises to draw the greatest throng of celebrities ever to attend a championship battle not excluding the Jeffries-Johnson bout at Reno, Nevada, July 4, 1910 when the assemblage that gathered there was a living volume of "Who's Who."
Orders for choice seats are simply pouring in from cities and towns all over California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. George Wingfield most noted citizen of Nevada, and one of the biggest shots in the world in sports, finance and mining, has reserved twenty choice seats for a party who whom

he will chaperone. Jim Catbett, the man who licked John L. Sullivan, will be at the ringside, and scores of other prominent ringmen will be on hand, including James L. Jeffries, Billy Pupke and Al McCoy, the latter two former world's champion middleweights.
Both boxers have trained faithfully for this bout. Walker is vicious as a tiger out at his proving grounds at Soper's ranch near Ojai, California, the place Jack Dempsey selected to train for his famous come back for the "Long Count" bout with Gene Tunney. "Wildeat" Ace Hudkins is working out at the Bastanchary ranch near Bullerton in Ventura County, and he has half a score of useful and seaworthy shoring antes.
Hudkins is already below the weight, while Walker has yet to remove about four pounds of surplus avoirdupois. They are to enter the ring at 160 pounds. Wagering on the bout has fluctuated with Walker sometimes the favorite at 10 to 8 or 10 to 9 and then same odds have also been offered with Hudkins the favorite. Present idications are that the house go well over the $200,000 mark establishing a new house record for California, an da world's record for Middleweights.

We wonder why many of our weekly periodicals persist in constantly publishing under glaring headlines and minute detail racial intermarriages.
After all it answers no good purpose, any more than to inflame the already strained relations existing between black and white America.
It places our cancasian relatives in about the same frame of mind as when a fine worthy boy or girl of good family but poor circumstances suddenly elopes with and marries into wealth which regulates blue blood society and someone desiring to start something not only proceeds to telegraph pa or ma, but to guard them with unnecessary facts that simply tend to rile them mentally when minimized publicity would tend on the reverse to have no artificial effect in the negative but in the affirmative soon heal when analysis, brought about by close contact with the newly related, brought out the fact that he or she was perfectly normal and human.
Just a minute chauffeur. I desire to get a copy of the Calif Eagle.

Mrs. Beatrice Owens who went up in the air for a couple of days not long ago and came down in New York is again in Los Angeles we learn. Most folks who go up in the air lose their mind and soon come down. She took an airplane and retained her composure. That's different.
Speaking of airplanes and automobiles, Dr. Bailey says the difference between riding in a plane and an auto is, if the plane stops in mid-air, it's "where am you". If the auto is wrecked on terra firma it's "dere you am" and 9 out of 10 times I'll get the job repairing you while the auto mechanic fixes your car.
Miss Doris Spears of Providence, Rhode Island, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Bass for several months left last Sunday over the U. P. for home. About twenty of her associates were on hand to give her a party send-off with the invitation to come again.
Well, the Winter League is here and last Sunday, about 8,000 fans populated the boxes, grand stand and bleachers at the ball park to witness a real game; baseball and says the party next to me; "We sawed a real game, didn't wed?" "Twan nothin' different," said I.
But what we are too color blind to understand is why John McGraw of New York is combing the baseball world to get a Jew on his team so he can draw on the patronage of the baseball population of two million Jews living in New York to whom organized baseball does not appeal, in fact is boycotted. After looking at the game Sunday we came to the conclusion the reason why Chicago lost the world's series and played such rotten ball was because Bullet Rogan and cooled players of his type are denied the opportunity to play in organized baseball. Believe it or not the Athletics, would never make any eight runs in one inning on that bunch of boys that played Pirrone's stars Sunday.
Bob Musel and Tommy Lazarez may be stars in the big league but in the winter league their lustre is greatly dimmed by the brilliance of Saturne—Bullet Rogan; Jupiter—Mackey who plays first base; Mars—Chester Brewer and Venus—Lithgason who covered the field like the morning dew covers the add. Surely is twenty-seven white boys can play 8 black boys four or five months in the winter with

THE ROAD TO WEALTH
That there are certain definite steps which lead to success and wealth will be shown from week to week in this column by reviewing the lives of men and women who have made good. INDUSTRY, PURSEVERANCE and THRIFT are the outstanding characteristics exhibited by the successful men of this age. With these qualities as a definite asset, any man or woman can achieve more than an ordinary measure of success if he will apply them in the development of a business. First, a small business and then a larger one. This is the road to wealth. Watch this column and see how others have achieved success. You can do as well or better, if you will.

Richmond (By A. N. P.) District managers of the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company from various sections of the state and the District of Columbia met here last week at the home office for their annual convention. More than fifty managers and assistant managers were present.
Los Angeles That employment of colored people is definitely on the up-grade here is shown by the following excerpts from the local Urban League Report.
More than two hundred women were placed in a new cannery which has been operating since June with approximately ninety percent Mexican labor. At the inception of the cannery the management flatly refused to hire Negroes in the canning division. The Negro women have made good aid and are now employed all over the plant. The factory is cosmopolitan in scope with Mexican, whites and Negroes constituting its personnel. A dress manufacturing company included Negro operators in its factories on the upwelling of the garment season. A garment company called to reclaim their colored operators
who have made good and who were dismissed at the clump period of this industry.
LET THE POLITICAL CLOWNS SLEEP ON
LET THE POLITICAL CLOWNS SLEEP ON
Fellow Comanches of the Negro Race, it is indeed a pleasure to write you at this time, not for self aggrandisement or any other selfish motive but simply because I am a Negro and proud of my identification; also because I am a citizen of these United States and proud of that unaltering manhood that process put myself in the allot of sacrifice blood drenched battlefields for the defense of my country and the principles of my country constituent.
There is no heavenly right or earthly right above our God, given right and there is no governmental right above our constituent rights. There is no God above our Divine Creator and there is no man below that which he has made since all men were made free and equal and since our governmental constituent has made all of its citizens free and equal. Why should we be slaves of any degree? Why should we not stand as free as the magistrates of our government, national, state and civic. A black mule and a white mule that labor for their master; I suppose the white mule should have special privilege over the black mule because of the color of his hair; but brother, I don't care whether his hair is black, white, yellow or brown, underneath that hair you will find only mule meat. So it is with man underneath the color of his skin you will only find human flesh.
Let us stand like the giant oaks stand and fight for rights. Take no back ground but forever press forward select honest men and women for your leadership and let the political crowns sleep on.

Chicago, Oct. 22.—Colonel Rosee Conklin Simmons, orator, writer, and one of the leaders of the Thompson machine in the Second ward, has formally announced that he would oppose Congressman Oscar DePriest when the Congressman comes up for re-election from the First Congressional District of Illinois. While to those throughout the country the announced candidacy of Colonel Simmons may be a surprise it is not to those on the inside of politics here. That Colonel Simmons desired to run for congress against Mr. DePriest in the last election is well known here, as is that he was Jackson, who secured a $5,000 a year position for Mr. Simmons in the Corporation Counsel's office, which was lost a short time after the election of Mr. DePriest.
In announcing his candidacy, Mr. Simmons points to the fact that Deprist was not nominated by he people but "selected by a committee of his friends." When Congressman Madden dled, according to the law of illinois, the Ward Committeemen of the district selected the candidate and that candidate was Oscar DePrist. Since his election, however, the Congressman has campaigned far and near, building up an influence which he hopes will force the voters at home to re-elect him to the legislative body of which he is now a member. Evidently, Mr. Simmons feels that this influence will not be sufficient. He feels that the people will support him for the position and is already laying claim for a vigorous campaign.
His statement of his candidacy reads in part as follows:
"DePriest was not chosen to succeed the lamented Madden." Simmons' statement reads in part. "On the other hand, he was picked by a committee of gentlemen on the instruction of powers they could neither refuse nor resist, to fill the vacancy in the nomination for the full term, beginning March 4, 1929, a vacancy created by the death of the great congressman, but a brief period following his victory in April, 1928, over William Dawson, who is now president of DePriest's Third Ward organization. "In failing to call a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr. Madden, which left the First District without a representative in the final session of the 70th Congress, Gov. Len Small ignored and violated paragraph No. 4 of the second section of the first article of the Constitution of the United States, which reads: "When vacancies happen in the representation from any state the executive authority thereof shall issue writs of effection to fill such vacancies." "And so Mr. DePriest appeared in the Congress without submitting his candidacy to the judgment of his party in keeping with the law." Simmons summarizes his own platform as follows: "I hold that patient worth offers more in opportunity than pompous speech or boastful challenge. I hold that equality is seen rather than heard. I oppose animosities between races and creeds. I would oppose them in the congress."
Confesses to Killing Second Wife
(By: A. N. P.)
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 22—Police stated Tuesday morning that Albert Wilkerson, who was arrested here Monday morning, has confessed that he murdered his wife, Mrs. Hettie Wilkerson and also that this is the second wife he has killed.
Mrs. Wilkerson's body was found in bed at her home early Sunday morning. The marks upon the body showed that she had been hacked to death with a hatchet. For a while mystery surrounded the killing but the report that Wilkerson, who was separated from his wife had been seen in the neighborhood Saturday night furnished the first clue and early Monday morning he was "brought in."
Wilkerson readily confessed, according to the police. He told them that he had been separated from his wife for several months and recently he attempted to affect a reconciliation, but she refused. Saturday night he went to her home, entered quietly and hacked her to death while she alert.
His first wife was killed by him in Alabama, stated the prisoner and for this murder he served fifteen years in prison. He is being held on charges of murder in the first degree and the extreme penalty will be sought by the state.

PILO BANNING COMES
THROUGH
M. B.
Herman Banning, one of the "Five Black Birds" of the Bessie /Coleman Aero Club, displayed his ability as an experienced pilot when he came through a terrible fog backs. Monday while several pilots of the air transport lines were forced to stay on the ground.
The "Oscar DePriest" piloted by Herman Banning and co-piloted by Marie Dickerson, left the Lincoln Air Field, Monday morning, carrying the President of the organization to San Diego on business. The trip down was made in one hour and ten minutes, the entire course was flown over the ocean about two thousand feet out. The beautiful blue ocean, underneath, the cloud speckled sky overhead, the mountains to the left and the coast line dasheo with a silvery spray of waves made a wonderful picture. An occasional cloud bank passing underneath made the trip down more thrilling. Arriving at the Ryan Airport in San Diego, the ship was greeted by Mr. A. E. Monteith, Supt. of the Pickwick Airlines and Melvin White, one of the members of the Board of Directors of the Bessie Coleman Aero Clubs.
The return trip was quite eventful and thrilling, especially since the weather map showed a fog bank between Oceanside and Los Angeles. But business called in Los Angeles and Banning said let's go. But just after passing over Tory Pines a great fog bank about 4,000 feet high loomed in the distance. Then almost automatically the nose of the ship pointed upwards into a steady climb. Up, up until the ship was riding 6,000 feet above the ocean, with a carpet of fog 1,000 feet beneath. A beautiful sight

that was. The sun's rays made the hills of fog look well laid off landing fields. For one hour the ship was corssed above the fog with not one sight of the land or ocean beneath. But we must be over Los Angeles now and must get through. Suddenly Magic whose electrics has won for the honor of being the only Negro Aviatrix in America today, pointed to a hole in the fog. A small hole it was, but far beneath the coast line of Long Beach could be seen. Immediately Banning took advantage of the situation and spiraled, glided, side-shaped, down from the loft elevation at 6,000 feet, down through the hake which seemed as though we were gliding down into a great crater, until within 300 feet of the ground we emerged out of the fog. But the fog left the earth dark and again Banning showed his skill by making a wonderful forced landing. He came through one of the worst fog banks in this incinity for years.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS
ENDORSE FRATERNAL FEDERATION PLAN
FRATERNAL LEADERS TO GA
THER AT CAPITOL OCT. 30
Washington, D. C. Oct. 22-By A. N.P.-More than one hundred leaders of Negro fraternal organization will assemble here Wednesday. October 30, to discuss and possibly effect what will be a federation of Negro Fraternal Organization, according to R. Mc Cants Andrew, Durham Attorney, and leader in the movement.
The origin of the movement dates from a conference with the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner, Dan C. Boney, during the past spring, following which conferences were held with other insurance commissioners in different parts of the country.
The proposed organization will not attempt to merge the identity of organizations now operating but is to be a clearing house of ideas which will follow the standards lines of the National Fraternal Congress, promoting the adoption of adequate rates for the various member organization of the federation.
COMMISSIONERS ENDORSE PLANS
Nine insurance commissioners have given their unqualified support and endorsement to the project and have offered to co-operate/in whatever way possible to effect the plans as laid before them. T. M. Baldwin, Jr., Superintendent of Insurance Government of the District of Columbia, in discussing the plans said:
"I see no reason why such an undertaking would result in other than good to the colored fraternal organizations. I would be very glad to lend my assistance in any way possible in the furtherance of such an undertaking."
S. R. King of South Carolina Insurance Department stated "There is much good to be derived from the colored fraternals and many of them are now progressing, whereas others are not being properly managed, which has resulted in conditions which will make it impossible to operate much longer. By adopting an adequate rate, which should be a uniform one and by placing fraternals on a business basis, I feel that many of them can be saved." In the same vein, D. C. Boney of North Carolina declared:
"The time has come when unless these orders are placed upon adequate rates they must cease to do business and abolish their endowment departments now with many old-age members on their rolls who are now too old to procure insurance, which would prove disastrous, but this must be done unless better conditions are obtained by adopting an adequate rate which I think should be uniform in all fraternals."
That the plan is a good one is the opinion of E. J. Dunn, president of the Loyal American Life Association and vice-president of the National Fraternal Congress, who stated:
"It strikes me that you are starting something that will prove of great and lasting interest to the people of your race. It will also be vastly beneficial to our country it large."
Joseph B. Thompson, superintendent of the Insurance Department of Missouri, opened that this is a very valuable and meritorious movement which deserves the hearty support of all Negro societies of the country and if succeeds in attaining its object, it will prove of great economic value not only to the colored race but to the country as a whole."
Other insurance commissioners and experts in the State of Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, New York, Georgia, and Florida have endorsed the movement and commended the effort to place the fraternal organization upon our common business basis.
FRATERNAL LEADERS IN AC
CORD
Since the movement was started scores of fraternal leaders have approved the proposed Federation and representatives of the various orders will spend one day here in the effort to effect the program as suggested. These representatives will discuss the problems of the organization in a frank and candid manner and will seek to remedy in the condition which now threatens the continuation of several organization.
Among those who have signified that representatives will be sent to the Washington Conference are: The Woodman of Union, headquarters at Hot Springs, Arkansas, which will be represented by Hon John L. Webb; The Mosaic Templars, by Judge Sciio A. Jones of Little Rock, Arkansas; The I. B. O. E. of W., by J. Finlay Wilson, The Working Benevolent Society, the Independent Order of St. Luke's, The Knights of Gideon, The Good Samaritans, The Royal Knights of King David, The Knights of Pythias and the Grand Unified Order of Oud. Follows.
The program for the meeting has been completed with the general subject centering on "adequate rates" and "Better business methods." In addition to therepresentatives of the fraternal organization several insurance experts have agreed to attend and to take part in the discussions.

Oseala, Fla., Oct. 22—By A.N.P.—What might be regarded as the most forward move toward Farm Relief for our farmers was made here when near 100 delegates representing 20 farmers' co-operative associations from fifteen counties brought the First Annual Meeting of the Florida Farmers' Co-operative Association held at the A.M. E. Church to a successful close Thursday.
Unlike the customary gatherings of farmers when they usually report on "how much had been produced" during the year and "whose forming record stood above the other." The program carried out provided only for such discussions and business transactions as would characterize the "new day" farmers meeting such as organizing Rural Credits, Co-operative Marketing and Education in Co-operative Organization of Farmers.
Representatives of local associations had direct contact with officials from The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank and State Mark ting Bureau, which authorities gave first hand information along their respective lines. As result delegates were schooled on the essential points which the Federal Farm Board is endeavoring to get over to the American Farmer as their best hope for relief.
CREDIT, CO-OPERATION ORGANIZED
The question of borrowing money from the Government through The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of this district was explained in detail by Mr. H. L. Gardner representing The Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Columbia, S. C. His two hours address (including questioning) led to the organization of an agricultural co-operation which he said "was necessary to qualify with his institution with a minimum capital stock of $10,000 all of which must be paid in."
Immediately following his address the "Florida Farmers Credit Corporation" was organized authorizing a capital stock of $25,000 and a Board of Directors and officers for the ensuing year were appointed. The Board of Directors and officers for the "Florida Farmers Co-operative Association" for the ensuing year was also appointed. Headquarters for both institutions will be at Ocala, Florida.
STATE MARKETING BUREAU
REPRESENTED
Marketing experts from Florida State marketing bureau included Mr. W. S. Hatt on fruit and vegetable and Mr. Lewis on live stock and poultry who spoke at length. They gave valuable information along their lines and the problem of marketing in the counties represented will be solved in many ways through the local marketing associations.
CD-OPERATING AGENCIES
CO-OPERATING AGENCIES
The good attendance of the delegation on this occasion was due to the co-operation of the various schools, colleges, extension and Smith-Hughes agents, professional and business men over the state. President J. R. E. Lee of the A. & M. College in his address encouraged what was being done and pledged his support and co-operation. Professor A. S. Scott represented Bethune-Cookman, Daytona Beach assisted in the business transacted. Other active representatives were S. D. Spady Delray, R. T. Gilmore, Marianna, John Hall, Marianna, John G. Riley,

CENTRAL ASSOCIATIONS FORMED
Centralizing of the local associations under one super-organization in keeping with the request of the Federal Farm Board is regarded the most outstanding accomplishment during the meeting.

DETROIT CITIZENS SUPPORT
"HEALER"
Detroit, Mich. Oct. 22-By A.N.P. — Religion, good, bad, and indifferent seems still to be the Negroes dope, at least that is true in this city. Proof of this fact is shown by the hundreds of colored people, religious fanatics who believe in "Sister" P. Harrell, so-called evangelist preacher of the "Church of God in the Risen Christ" and faith healer. They stood by her in her trial before the courts on a charge of fraud and have followed her into a deserted, delapidated garage with cement floor where they sit on improvised wooden benches and shiver in the cold to listen to this woman preach.

BREAD BAKED IN THE HOME
Four out of 200 white famihes in Philadelphia bake their
own bread, a survey showed some months ago. That means
that most families depend on the baker, who may be surprised
that bread instead of ranking first in food consumption, ranks
third, being passed in order by meat and vegetables.
Final results might be modified if other-cities, small towns
and the rural homes were canvassed, though there is not the
slightest doubt that even the farms depend in an amazing de-
gree on the big baker of the cities.
Appetizing, pure, attractive, sanitary as the baker’s bread
has become, persons whose palate recalls something of the
mouth-filling qualities of home-made bread, big round and
square loaves, hzlf or a quarter slice of which was good for a
meal cannot help but regret the vanishing of this sturdy deli-
cacy.
There was a certain Satisfying toughness and compactness
with the old-fashioned home-baked loaf that had its appeal.
Persons careless of their table habits could not, even if they
willed, dally the time before the meal was served making pills
of the bread. And how that firm white substance stood up un-
der jam and molasses. To the hard-playing urchin overcome
with hunger between meals, a slice of mother’s home-baked
bread, coated with butter from the spring house and jam from
the jelly closet, was a feast he fully appreciated only when he
atiained middle age.
Like home-made ice cream, home-made jellies, home-
made noodle soup, home-made bread will continue with some
as a delectable memory, but only as a memory for though the
art is not completely lost and the opportunity still avails, little
home-made bread will be baked because the modern bakery
does the job more easily, perhaps more economically and more
conveniently and efficiently and this is that kind of an age.
AN EERIE NIGHT
This sophisticated and materialistic world no longer be-
lieves in ghosts, good fairies, witches and magic charms but
this has not detracted at all from the traditional abservance of
Hallowe'en, the eve of All Sains’ Day and the night on which
the shadowy denizens of the spirit world return to earthly
haunts. toot mea
So this Thursday evening when night draws her curtain
acros sthe world the unbelieving worldlings will supplant the
“real"*ghosts, black eats and broomstick witches with a make-
believe eerie realm of cut paper, noise makers and pumpkin
faces, Hallowe'en parties, street carnivals with masks, cos-
tumes and confetti, and prank-playing have universal per-
mission to monopolize the spotlight. And as the witching hour
of twelve draws near there will be some unfaithful ones glanc-
ing covertly back at their shifting shadows and jumping at ev-
ery squeak of the chamber stairway. After all, Hallowe'en
wouldn’t be half so much fun if there was no superstition at-
tached to it and the fact that it is now all superstition of sug-
gestion does not make it any less effective for the purposes of
Allhallow night. :
In its merrymaking-let not the community forget the
double significance of this night. Primarily this will be an ob-
servance of All Saints’ eve, but it is also a harvest celebration.
The frosty pumpkin, the rustling corn shuck and the bobbing
apple play an important part in this nocturnal celebration and
inseparably link Hallowe'en with the harvest time.
A wit has pointed out that the good saints have shown
rare wisdom by making their annual pilgrimage back to earth
in the heart of the harvest season.
The beautiful Spanish dancer who credits her enduring
Leauty to common sense and denies that she has any secret art
of preservation cannot expect her method to become prevalent
among sisters Jess blessed with pulchritude.
She says she uses no rouge when off stage. This is doubt-
Jess due to the fact that nature has been kind in endowing her
with a complexion that calls for no artificial aid. Those who
have roses in their cheeks do not have to paint them thére- To
do so would show lack of common sense. But it would be diffi-
cult to convince the girls whose skins show yellow or overpale
in the light of day that a little rouge now and then is not rel-
ished by the best of men, If they have no pretty complexion to
ruin, they will be inclined to dispute Senorita Trini’s implication
that use of rouge is at variance with common sense.
The same reasoning applies to the lovely Spaniard’s re-
jection of the curling iron as a help to beautification. Those
who have curls can afford to scorn the carler. But not so the
straight-haired maiden, when waves and ringlets are in fashion.

WHY NOT THE BAND?
A writer has said, is it worth the while? He was speaking
of the recent demonstration when the big parade was staged
and the band played upon the arrival of Congressman Oscar
DePriest. We say, yes! that it was not only timely for the
parade and the band but fitting as well, It is said that as a
race for nigh unto three hundred years we have sung the sor-
row songs, but that we shall yet sing the songs of rejoicing and
triumph. Now then, in case it takes 100 more years, there are
some of us who ase ‘going to sing them whenever the occasion
admits. For we may not be here on another to do our bit in
the rejoicing. ‘ |
We paraded and the band played, for we réjoiced to see
one of our own who had made the grade to congress. We re-
joiced of the fact that in the First INinois Congressional District
the Negroes had gotten together and organized. We rejoiced
because DePriest has proved himself a fit representative and
stands up for his race. x |
His visit was inspiring and awakened within the bre:
of his people a new hope and a self-conscienciousness as nev’
before. ‘
Sure the parade and playing of the band was not only aj
propriate but timely as well. ]

It's a wise old saw, “Can a Leopard change his spots?”
You can paint the varmint over and make his garment, excuse
the slip, we meant to ‘write fur, whiter than snow, but the first
dip in the water will bring the mout again. I guess that you are
wondering what on earth that sap is driving at. Well, here it
is: The Republican party down in Florida has demarked at
the color line and stated their intention of barring the Colored
brother from participation in any of the primary elections. Up
to. date we have not heard of any remonstrance from the chair-
man of the Republican. National Committee, or the Republican
Administration in Washingtori. As stated before in these col-
umns, and without any mental reservation; the Leopard may
change his name. He may even make believe that he has
changed his spots. But when the times comes to show his
claws his spots reappear. The Republican of the South is just
as prejtidiced and impregnated with the virus of racial hate
as his Democrat antithesis in politics. We know that the Unit-
ed States Supreme Court in its Texas decision, ruled that po-
| litical parties must open their primaries to all who are mem-
bers, without regard to race or color, With that decision star-
ing them in the face it seefs strange that any political party
would have the temerity to broach the subject, much less
launch the fight. Unless a halt is called on the activities of
the psuedo republicans of “Dixie’ 'there is liable to be a revolt
| up in the states where the votes are counted, inimical to party
jsuccess. We hope that the desire of the Administration to hold
‘the advantage gained in the last election will not blind it to the
{fact that one of its most loyal adherents is a balance of political
| power in sever of the close states:

Several gentlemen proclaiming themselves as members of
|the three K’s. acted as a bodyguard to that Brooklyn rector
‘who drew the color line in his church and stated that “they
heard that 100 or more Negroes from New England were com-
ing down there to attend that church and thay they were there
\to see that they did not enter.” Poor deluded followers of an
organization which is so dead that even such publicity as they
seek to give will never resurrect it. Why, the Negroes of New
England would not think of honoring the said church with
‘their presence. They are too thoroughly impregnated with,
the spirit of TRUE AMERICANISM. Those descendants of
Attucks, Salem, and the men who fought with Shaw, would
“never stoop to so besmirch their manhood and womanhood by
entering an edifice—dedicated to the service of Christ but—
polluted with the virus of intolerance. Those gentlemen of
the sheets und pillow case order are splendid associates for
such a Rector and fit guardiangor such an edifice.

It is rumored that the picture show houses of the South
have made protest against the filming of Negro pictures, es-
pecially wherd Negro and white actors are in the same cast.
‘They threaten to ban them from their show, houses. The Fox
people say that one-third of their films are shown in that sec- |
tion, and that it would cut a considerable slice from the finan-
cial melon. Should the show houses in that section persist in
their stand, and we have every reason to believe that they will,
it will mean a big decrease in the number of Negro movie ac-
tors. The question is one of economics mdy®so than any real
Sbjection to the Negro actor. The question of enormous sal-|
aries paid Negro actors has awakened the spirit which cannot |
tolerate Negro progress, especially financial, It was the envy:
of fine homes and business progress that incited their wrath at
Tulsa, Chicago, Washington and wherever it has a chance to
foment. Of course, it will be argued that a person has a right
to do as one pleases with his money, “It is his and he can spend
it as he pleases.” True: But is all of this unnecessary display
of recently acquired financial prosperity in keeping with san-
ity? Can one person ride in but one motor car at one time?
It is veritable nonsense, and some “sane” people are to blame.
Instead of pointing out the irreparable harm they are doing
to the entire race by such peacock displays, they pat them on
the back and further the ego. _ It will be an awful time for'some |
should the Goose Stop laying the Golden Egg. Remember
how the Armistice caught some unprepared who thought the!
war was going to last longer? Beware!

scale on which American manufacturers are opening up branch
factories in foreign countries, or even moving their whole en-
terprises to Canada, Europe, Argentina or India, where cheap |
labor can be employed. In other words: While we are barring
‘the cheap labor from coming to America, the American manu-
facturer is taking the factory to cheap labor. The report fur-
‘ther states, “that employers, balked by the immigration laws|
from dipping into large reservoirs of cheap European labor,
have exported their capital and established branch plants in
Southern European countries, the Near East and the Orient,
‘where they have obtained huge pools of uneducated, cheap,
docile and servile labor.” It is said that these plants supply
‘the foreign-trade orders of the American owners as well as to,
|inake goods to import into the United States. Jt is estimated
‘that $27,000,000,000 is either invested or loaned to foreign
lands. Matthew Woll, an active labor leader, demanded of
Congress that the tariff law be amended to provide that Amer-
ican holders of patents and trade-marks shall manufacture
their products exclusively at home. Let's take a survey of

up striking one full in the face.
Tis Sunday morning! To my mind
a morning for repose, of peaceiul com-
mumion between spirit of man and the
Great Spirit, without the intrusion of
worldly accruments. The one morn-
ing of the week when the quictude of
one’s little cottage. the scene of sun;

und shrubbery. kissing gently the soft,
tinted petals of flowers, reaching with
long armed beams across snowwhite
viBows, laying ‘misdhevioufy with
heavy ‘eyelids; come as one of the
blessings allotted to. man.
So, could there have been a covering
spread over some portions of Ohio's
Central avenue, veiling its mercentry
unsightliness, I should have more
easily become in tune and prepared for
the felicitations of the Great Spirit on
imy arrival at the house -of worship
that morning. $

imposing steeple structure of brick.
We pause a moment at the door.
There's prayer within, here, without,

mood. others ‘blah-blah,” you know.

ushered. Our seats are near the ros-

thwarted in, ith efforts at bombard
ment, is broken by the art glass of the
wincow and softened into varyidg de-

‘A spirit strong from communion anc

to the words uttered.

from his lips. Young and sophisti-

the world’s buffetings, alf sat ~ with

the water to her tent, by Brother Eze-
Kiel, when other-candidates vet remain-
ed on the banks to be immersed, and
in which tent he remained long enousb
for his mother to come from the. water-
front, upbraid hish, and send him back
to finish his wosk. In all walks oi life,
among all peoples, and degrees of in-
telligence there is ‘a certain amount of
impressiveness attached to various
ranks from which none deviate, and
I think that this: oceasion was one—
with husdreds gathered around’ at such
2 tithe as that, it-ix not reasonably true
to-life that Brother Ezekiel. would
have acted so unwisely, as I aun sat-
isfied from the acting and portrayal by
the actors that both were Boers in
their claim and profession of religion:
therefore the atmosphere was déstroy-
ed.
The running away of Brother Eze-
kiel and Chick was perfectly alright
and natural, but another time and
place, other than the occasion chos.n
—that of the camp meeting where
many were gathered, and where all
were under the deep influence of the
“Spirit,” as portrayed—would have
heen more appropriate.
The scene where szekiel slips into
the house as Missy Rose plays the
wedding march on the old family or-
xan for the couple who are about to
be married is somewhat overdrawn,
over-actea and the wrong “register” by
Daniel Haynes for the situation as 1
thought intended—that of Ezekiel sur-
prising Missy Rose with his presence,
the intention of expressing his love
for her and the requesting and final
“stealing” of the first kiss of two lov-
ers. And if the intention was other-
wise, it was entirely out of order in
the {picture on the occasion.
On the whole the acting is good and
the jactors should not be censured or
criticized too severely, as with pro-
longed acting and constant “breaks”
all the rough edges will wear away
and perfection be attained as has been
achieved by other artists, actors, stars,
etc., in varied lines. |

| Campbell is just at the right age,
24 years old, to make a real bid for
Pugilisti¢ supremacy. He weighs 185
pounds stripped for ring action, and he
now stands ready and willing to meet
any heavyweight alive, regardless of
his reputation or record.
Camphell is coming all the time. His
last fight when he knocked out Harry
Beum in two rounds put him right in
the forefront of contenders in the
heavyweight civision, and all fight
writers, who have ‘seen, his work. 2¢-
claim him as a fighter, who cannot,

Damon Runyon, noted sports writ-

grous sweet things of Beum, the man

Campbell today jis the nearest ap-
proach to the Dempsey of the Firpo
and Willard conquests of any ring-
man in the world.| Campbell weaves
and bobs preciscly like the Manassa
Man Mauler of the Willara and Firpo

GREATEST MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTEST OF ALL TIME TAKES PLACE AT WRIGLEY FIELD, TUES., OCT. 29th
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Ace Hudkins and his stablemate Charley Long who has faithfully conditioned the famous Wildcat and made him fit for Tuesday night's contest. Charley avers that Hudkins is in the pink of condition and is confident that thi sheing so there is no question of the outcome of the fight.
Hudkins Does Best Against Tough Enemies
BY: DAN SHAW In the years when good old grandma ruled the home, parlors were rooms where curtains were drawn and dust and the family were forbidden, or at least, where members of the family generally were forbidden unless they were dust, as parlors were opened mainly for funerals.
Certain members of the pugilistic family remind me strongly of those parlons. With a lot of hand as assets, they rarely if ever open up. Hudkins has never failed to give the public what it has paid for. He ripped and tore right through the lightweight and middleweight divisions, fight after fight winning consistently. When he signed to fight Mickey Walker for the middleweight championship of the world, Ace sait to his brothers, "I want to go some where to a place where the crowds don't go, in a sun washed village where the folks are slow, where traffic's easy and I can ride at a speed that, I won't be bothered thm the country side. In a little place, that is not too far from the railroad station and the troolley car, with a school, a chapel, a row of stores, the wide open spaces like it is in Old Nebraska. Just a few miles away to the big town doors."
again. Everybody who saw Ace give the battling Serge the sight of his life and sent the Mitchell, Field soldier on the down grade to the pussistic graveyard. When no body wanted to take on Rene DaVoe, Ace went right into New York and fixed him up into a rough package; gave him back to his Tuxedo Society managez. Drexell Biddie and who has heard of him since. Joe Anderson decisioned the Wild Cat a year ago but Ace caught him again he got mail. You know what happened—"Mayoed." In Chicago, Ace and Mickey fought to torrilla through a hard rain. In the 7th round Ace had Walker out on his feet. He held on to Ace for dear life—held his head back opened his mouth wide, so he could catch the rain—nothing else saved the Humison Rocker from a knock out but the rain water. It revived him. The Cat is mad now and nothing else delights me any more than to have him get mad enough to go out and night his hardest battle to the extent of his
capabilities.
You may say that Ace has fought one or two bad fights so he has but not against tough ones. Ace has fought his worst fights against men he should have beaten without getting up a preperation.
The Cat is a peculiar fighter to do his best his emotions or his imagination must be stirred. His best fights have been against the best opposition. He has not been proclaimed champion officially, but who can beat him? He sure looked like a champion when he fought Joe Anderson. He knows right now that he comes close to be the uncrowned champion and he always fights better when he realizes that the world regards him as the best.
Weather forecast—A Leather Tornado is in the making—Wrigley Field Next Tuesday evening.
Bullet Rogan stars in centerfield and at the bat as in days of yore. His daring steal of home base was the high spot of the game.
Describe the fact that Young, the catcher for the Royal Giants made two glaring errors he looks like a deal ball player and will all the bill.
The ever reliable short-stop, Allen was just a bit off in fielding at Sundays' game, but he is a star of the first magnitude just the same.

WALKER AND HUDKINS TAPER OFF TRAINING FOR BIG FIGHT Boys In The Pink Raring To Go
BY: ART HAMILTON

Official Announcecet Olympic Club Who will Call the Two Principals Together at Wrigley Field Tuesday Evening.
Sammy Jackson Takes Nod Over Bobby La Salle in Ten Rounds
Sammy Jackson took a ten-round decision over Bobby LaSalle at the Olympic fight club last Tuesday nite in the feature bout of 40 rounds of boxing.
The Lout was nothing to write home about. Jackson was too smart for the wild swinging Bobby and he beat him seven out of the ten cantos. Once in the eighth J think, it was Sammy dropped the beach boy with a left hook and LaSalle gave them all a laugh by doing a backward flip.
JUST A BAD BOY
LaSalle develops a complex or something of other when he comes up to the big house on Grand Avenue. He is out of his element or he looses all ambition to fight when he gets a top spot there. In the bout Tuesday night he made all kinds of faces at Jackson and did very little fighting except in the ninth and tenth rounds. Boby can be a fighter when he wants to. He has proved this time after time down at the harbor arena where he sells them out. Any guy that can knock Johnny Adams out two times in a row can fight and no less, because that is Adams middle name and he doesn't know what it is to stall. Any way, Sammy took a verdict over him in ten slow rounds.
PORTILO HAS TOUCH FIME
Tony Portillo, Sammy's stablemate had a tough time too that night.
Tony went up against a guy that couldn't fight a lick and he wouldn't let Portillo fight. The Mexican was fighting Matt Calo, an old veteran, that knew nothing but hit and hold. He would jab wits with a left and then rush in to clinch for a half an hour or so. (Matt had a style that just would not stop and Tony couldn't stop it either.
TORRES WINS
Johnny Torres had no set-up in tough little Bobby Pacho. Torres took the nod by virtue of several knock downs spanked throughout the fight. Bok by outboxed Johnny and at times made him look pretty rank and so forth.

TORRES WINS
Ace Hudkins the Nebraska "Wildcat" and Mickey Walker, the "Toy Bulldog" have tapered off their training and will rest up until the big fight on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. The Wildeat and the Bulldog have been at it for three weeks now and are in the pink of shape. The battle between the champion and the challenger has been termed the biggest sporting event ever to take place in the city of the angels since the time of the 20 round days. In those days it was common to hear of a championship bout but now it is different. Although we get our share of the big time fighters, the eastern seaboard seems to hog all the bouts that involve titles.
But as time goes on and as one of the best sports writers in the country, (Sfub Nelson is his name by the way) has said, our fair city is fast becoming the sport capital of the world. Some of the best fighters in the game to wear were produced right here in the city of Angels. Ace Hudkins, the Nebraskan, has taken Los Angeles as his very own. Ed Strangler Lewis lives in Glendale, and Fields, Jack Thompson, Joe Gans and many others too numerous to name all come from the sport capital of the world.
And now the biggest battle for the year nineteen hundred and twenty-nine is taking place here on the 29th of this month, with two of the world's greatest fighters as the principals.
BIGGER: THAN GODPREY
HZCDHUN
This battle between Ace and Mickey will pass the Godfrey-Uscudun brawl by far. That fight drew $125,000 iron men through the gates, but the Olympic management claims that this one will do 250,000 grand and some to spare. Hudkins alone; they claim, will draw 100,000 grand into the gate, because of the many Nebraskans that now call Los Angeles their home. Ace has a big following here, and Mickey is no stopper himself.
GOOD RECORDS
Both of the gladiators have good records. The Cat has not lost over five bouts during his career and has never been put to sleep. And then all the men that hold verdicts over him have been beaten in return matches. Just recently Ace stopped Joe Anderson in six bats in a return go. Anderson had taken the Nebraskan in the first go. "No man can beat me the second time," snarled the fighting Hudkins man. The Hudkins brothers claim the man isn't living that can beat their fighting brother.
WALKER TWICE CHAMP
Mickey has quite a little record himself. He has been a champion twice. He held the welterweight crown until he lost it to Pete Latzo. He battled around in the 147 pound division for quite a while and then decided to cast his lot with the middleweights. In Chicago, the Windy City, the city of gangsters and everything else under the sun he won the middleweight crown from Tiger Flowers in a ten-round gout. That Chicago is a helvay place for a champion to defend his crown. Well, anyway, Walker won his title there and has defended it once. This will be the second time. The champ is in tip top shape and claims he will keep his title.
All in all, it should be a good battle with the best man winning. I don't know who to pick, but I lean towards Ace, if that means anything.

Greatest of War Dramas
Jackie Fields the world's wetter-weight champion added another scalp to his belt last Monday night, when he beat, Gorilla Jones, the Akron, Ohio dark-skinned boy in a bristling ten-round fight at San Francisco.
The champion beat the black boy, but he knew that he had been in a battle from the start to the finish. It was a tight fight from one gong to the next. Jones gave him a good time all the way. In fact the battle was so close it might have been called a draw, if northern reports mean anything.
BEAT DUNDEE
Fields was fresh from a victory in Chicago, where he fought for Jack the Dempsey, in his first crack at promoting boxing fighting instead of doing it himself. Jackie had taken on Vince Dundee the brother of Joe Dundee, the man Fields won the championship from just a couple of months back. According to eastern reports on that battle, Fields didn't look so hot for that battle. He won it, but the brother of the champ got the cheers when the two men left the ring. And the champ's margin of victory was so big.
FAVORITE OVER JONES
Big Rooney's champ was the favorite over the black boy in Frisco last Monday night. They had Fields tabbed a 2-1 favorite and he was mighty lucky to eke out a victory over Welch's boy. If it had been in Madison Square Gardens, where Jones appeared six times in one year, the verdict would have been different is the thought of many. Fields is pretty hard to beat in San Francisco. Down here in the Southland they had Jackie about a 20-1 favorite, tak-
ing Jones's bout with Dummy Mahan as the reason. The Gorilla knocked out "Windy" Winsor's mute with a body punch to the kidneys. But he didn't take so well with the cash customers for some reason or other. They didn't like his style. But as I said after that fight any man that can fight in Madison Square Gardens, six times in one year and sell it out each time must have something, and Jones probed my theory Monday night in north
LET THEM MIX IN EAST
Many of the eastern bugs want to see Jackie Fields and the Gorilla mix in New York with the title at stake. The verdict would be very much different they claim.
Jones is hot copy and no less. He has color. He can box. He can fight. And most of all he can hit with a right hand. Anybody he hits with that fight in the right spot can call it a night.

The game between the "Trojans" and Stanford which occurs every football season is for the biggest football classic of the year, each year the fans who make the journey increase. And this year's movement of solid "Pullman" trains handled out of this district since the "Shriners Convention," all crews operating on the coast line were informed by the sign out man that they would be expected to double.

As early as Monday there were at least one hundred extra pullmans already lined up, and orders for more were constantly coming in. Making the general order of all pullman porters pointing north.
LOS ANGELES FORTER ON
MILLIONARE SPECIAL
All smiles, E. Ollison was congratulating himself upon being selected to take a compartment car of Los Angeles representatives of the Henry L. Daugherty firm of New York stock brokers and oil men with offices at 60 Wall St. New York City on a tour, when interviewed by the writer upon his return. Mr. Ollison was loud in his praise of the party, and train which he connected with, in Chicago, says Mr. Ollison it was the finest train that I ever had the pleasure of riding on, there were seventeen of the latest model compartment cars when the train was finally made up at Chicago, three diner which were constantly on the job barbers, one stenographer, two bar boys, one bartender, a piano player, three Philipino ukeleale players a Pullman quartette composed of New York Porters, also two swing porters, and a magnificent radio, observation and club car, an open car was attached to the train towards the head end for the crews to sleep in. Stops were made at Cleveland, Foldeo, Oklahoma City, Ponce City, Bartlesville, Shreveport, El Dorado, Ark, Joplin, Mo., and Kansas City. All the meals were free of charge to the crew, and at the present writing you can not touch Mr. Ollison with a red apple.
AMERICAN LEGION PORTERS
Back From Louisville, Sadder
But Wiser
The American Legion blues was being sung very loudly by the crew of Los Angeles porters who made the long trip to Kentucky with the brave soldier boys; the biggest majority of the boys claim that it was just another day wasted away, the only ones in the crew who got a good taste of the gravey were the porters on the preamble basis cars. Clopton, S. W. Parks, H. E. Washington, M. Adams, E. Woods, and Rouse were some of the sad victims.
H. A. J. Prescott has Special Party
Mr. Prescott, has just returned
from a trip to New Orleans, and New
York City, with a big sugar man. The
sugar man and his party had a chart-
ed car in which old pap had the pleas-
ure of being in charge, so far Press
has not been heard singing any sugar
blades, so I guess every thing was O.
K. Mr. Prescott is now being called
a sweet man by the boys of the distri-
tion.
Board Will Probe Extra Fare Trains
An investigation of the railroad
practice of charging extra fares, in
addition to the regularly prescribed
railroad and Pullman fares was ordered
last week by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. It will inclide nearly all
railroads of the country.
The Union Pacific Railroad is gradually making their crack train, the Los Angeles Limited famous, last week when the train left Chicago, it had the very latest type Pullman equipment on it, three eight section three room cars with the parchment lamp shades on the interior, and many offer late inventions. This train since the extra fare has been taken off, has been running very heavy with a good class of people. The porters who had to suffer so long with light loads when the extra fare was off, are at last getting a brake.
Maid Marie Foreman goes on International Association of Ice Cream Dealers and Milk Dealers Special
The palatial Pullman Special of International Association of Ice Cream and Milk dealers special last Tuesday over the Southern Pacific for Toronto, Canada. They will pick up several cars at Oakland. The baggage car attached to the train was filled with California fruits and products, which the local members of the industry will distribute at the World congress. Marie Foreman was select-
ed as the maid for this high class train, and porter B. G. Scott who is also on board will see that she gets all the ice cream she can eat, at least he should.
Pullman Company's New Office
The new office located in the Produce building, is exceptionally well designed and arranged in a way as to compare with the Pullman offices in the east. The separate cashiers windows for Porters and conductors is very handy in giving the maximum of service to both conductors and porters, and as the biggest majority of porters transfer at seventh and central Ave. The office is in a very suitable place, while it does not seem to suit the Pullman Conductors it is just to fine for the porters, all hail to the new office.

New Pullman Uniforms Here
Porters who have been in the service ten years or over, have been very busy during the last week getting their new free pullman uniforms at the office, some fit and some do not, although each man was supposed to be measured by the local pullman tailor. My friend H. E. Washington, who happens to have a little more of the human body then the biggest majority of porters, got his first free uniform, took it home and when he went to get in to it found out to his dismay that the trousers came up to his knees, what luck! What luck!
