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.

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

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.

Before the ceremony, Miss Juanta Craddock, gifted violinist, rendered, "O Promise Me," and Miss Marguerite Robinson sang "O, Perfect Love." very beautiful.

SO. WEST ROCKY MOUNTAIN CONFERENCE CLOSES SESSION
(Continued From Page One)
The afternoon session was taken up with the continuation of reports from the pastors, also the report of Presiding Elder G. W. Reed the report of the latter was favorably commented on by a number of the pastors and the same was received with a vote of thanks by the conference.
All other sessions of the conference were equally inspiring and helpful, as was the first Bishop Martin conducted the "School of the Prophets," each morning. The Bishop in his usual seating position brought words of wisdom and helpful advice to the pastors and delegates attending the conference. The lovable disposition of Bishop Martin has won for him as warm place in the heart of the men over whom he presides.
This session of the conference was one of the best held since being organized nine years ago. It was splendidly attended, and Rev. W. B. Redden, the pastor, and his congregation aided by other churches and friends of the city, did themselves proud by the way they entertained the conference. Everyone seemed to have gone away pleased.
On Sunday inspiring messages were brought by the Revs. T. Allen Harvey, P. E. the California Conference: W. J. I. Byers, and J. L. McCoy. One soul was happily conducted at the night service. Sunday night the Bishop read the appointments, which are as follows:

(By: A. N. P.)

To Unveil Life Membership Tablet at N. A. A. C. P. Annual Meeting
New York, Oct. 22—Impressive ceremonies are being planned in connection wit the unveiling of the handsome bronze tablet bearing the names of those who have become life members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. The unveiling is to take place at the 21st Annual Meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. on Sunday, January 5, 1930, and an address commencing upon the work of the Association and upon the public spirit of those who support it will be delivered by a speaker of national prominence whose name is to be announced later.
The bronze tablet is being made by the Newman, Manufacturing Co. bronze founders, and above the names of the life members, will bear the following inscription:
"Hereunder are set the names of those who have became Life Members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE by giving each into its treasury the sum of Five Hundred Dollars, thereby testifying forever to their faith in the cause and the future of the Negro people of the United States and in the foundation principles of the American Republic." All those whose Life Membership in the N. A. A. C. P. are fully paid in time for their names to be cast in bronze and attached to the tablet will be included in the ceremonies, which it is expected will attract nation-wide attention.
During the existence and continued functioning of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, this tablet with the names of its Life Members, will remain on view in the National Offices at 69 Fifth Avenue. Eventually, as a matter of historic interest it is contemplated to present the tablet to some public institution, possibly a government building in Washington, where it will remain on display as a memorial or those who testified their faith in the work the N. A. A. C. P. is going. The N. A. A. C. P. expresses the hope that those who have paid their life memberships in part or who contemplate taking them, will complete their payments by December 1, so that their names may be cast in bronze in time for the ceremonies. The tablet provides room, however, for the addition of life members' names who may join subsequently.
The life members now fully paid and at present enrolled whose names will be on the tablet when it is unveiled arc; J. E. Spingarn, the Association's Treasurer and donor of the Spingarn Medal; Amy E. Spingarn, Arthur B. Spingarn, the Association's Vice President and Chairman of the National Legal Committee; Mary White Ovington, Chairman of the Board of Directors; Charles K. Ovington, Mrs. Elizabeth Ovington, Dr. E. R. Alexander, John H. Howard and John B. Nail, all of New York City; and Mrs. Butler, R. Wilson, deceased, at Boston.
Africa to Receive Christianity from the Air
---
(Bv: A N P.)
New York City. Oct. 22—If the plans of Father Paul Schulte of the Oblate Brotherhood of Colozne, Germany, materialize, missionaries will be transported to the most remote sections of Africa by aeroplanes to convert the pagans into Christians. Father Schulte arrived here this week to discuss the matter with wealthy Americans of the Roman Catholic faith and stated that already more than $100,000 had been raised for the program in Germany. The priest was a pilot in the German Air Forces during the Great World War and expressed the opinion that he could enlist the services of other German aviators in the undertaking.

Sunday, was a day of wonderful events at Pleasant Hill. Seeing that the present system employed by the S.

Dr. Rozier used as a subject Sunday A M. "Serving and Reaping" Psalm 126 Conte Gal. 6-7. the kind of service we reorder will determine the kind of reaping we will have to reap. We saw that the cause of Christ should live but self should, and must be forever sacrificed. The big question left for us to answer was, Self or the Cause? In the afternoon missionary meeting, Mrs. Rozer gave a very inspiring report of the National Baptist Convention. Through an appeal made by Dr. Rozer, and his desire to see the

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.

Attractive display of merchandise, brightly lighted stores, uniform courtesy were stressed by Mrs Dingle as fundamental for the successful outcome of the campaign. Lamuel L. Foster. Secretary of the New York Local Business League, closed the meeting with a brief address in which he outlined plans for extending the membership of the New York Local League.
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.

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 degree 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, half or a quarter slice of which was good for a meal cannot help but regret the vanishing of this sturdy delicacy.
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 under 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 attained middle age.
Like home-made ice cream, home-made jellies, homemade 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.

So this Thursday evening when night draws her curtain acrossthe world the unbelieving worldlings will supplant the "real"ghosts, black cats and broomstick witches with a make-believe eerie realm of cut paper, noise makers and pumpkin faces. Hallowe'en parties, street carnivals with masks, costumes and confetti, and prank-playing have universal permission to monopolize the spotlight. And as the witching hour of twelve draws near there will be some unfaithful ones glancing covertly back at their shifting shadows and jumping at every squeak of the chamber stairway. After all, Hallowe'en wouldn't be half so much fun if there was no superstition attached to it and the fact that it is now all superstition of suggestion 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 observance 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 beauty to common sense and denies that she has any secret art of preservation cannot expect her method to become prevalent among sisters less blessed with pulchritude.
She says she uses no rouge when off stage. This is doubtless 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 there. To do so would show lack of common sense. But it would be difficult to convince the girls whose skins show yellow or overpale in the light of day that a little rouge now and then is not relished 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 rejection of the curling iron as a help to beautification. Those who have curls can afford to scorn the curler. But not so the straight-haired maiden, when waves and ringlets are in fashion.

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 sorrow 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 are 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 rejoiced to see one of our own who had made the grade to congress. We rejoiced of the fact that in the First Illinois 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.
His visit was inspiring and awakened within the breast of his people a new hope and a self-conscienciousness as never before.
Sure the parade and playing of the band was not only appropriate 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 chairman of the Republican National Committee, or the Republican Administration in Washington. As stated before in these columns, 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 prejudiced and impregnated with the virus of racial hate as his Democrat antithesis in politics. We know that the United States Supreme Court in its Texas decision, ruled that political parties must open their primaries to all who are members, without regard to race or color. With that decision staring 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 pseudo republicans of "Dixie' there is liable to be a revolt up in the states where the votes are counted, inimical to party success. 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 coming down there to attend that church and that 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 and pillow case order are splendid associates for such a Rector and fit guardians for such an edifice.
It is rumored that the picture show houses of the South have made protest against the filming of Negro pictures, especially where 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 section, and that it would cut a considerable slice from the financial 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 actors. The question is one of economics more so than any real objection to the Negro actor. The question of enormous salaries 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 sanity? 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!

In labor is being alarmed at the exodus. It appears that if the manufacturerer to him he will go to cheap labor. "It looms in the offing," says one laborer by the President, James O'Connell a part of the Metal Trades Department of the Labor at the Toronto convention. Then American manufacturers are opening foreign countries, or even moving the Canada, Europe, Argentina or India, employed. In other words: While worker from coming to America, the Am
American labor is being alarmed at the exodus of American industry. It appears that if the manufacturer cannot bring cheap labor to him he will go to cheap labor. "The specter of unemployment looms in the offing," says one labor leader. The report made by the President, James O'Connell and Secretary John P. Frey of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor at the Toronto convention. The enormous scale on which American manufacturers are opening up branch factories in foreign countries, or even moving their whole enterprises 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 manufacturer is taking the factory to cheap labor. The report further 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 make goods to import into the United States. It 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 American holders of patents and trade-marks shall manufacture their products exclusively at home. Let's take a survey of some of the bigger interests which have flirted with cheap labor. A just-consuming plant moved from Ludlow Maine to a town in India. There is an American built, and owned hardware plant in Germany employing 600 men and when it moved, that number in the U. S. A. were thrown out of a job. Henry Ford has transferred his entire tractor factory to Ireland. General Motors has purchased the largest automobile factory in Germany, and it is estimated that there are over 2,000 branch or independent American factories under foreign flags. This may be a move of Capital to try to break the spirit of unionized labor.
The last legislature enacted a law creating a state board for the registration of civil engineers. It is to be a division of the state department of vocational and professional standards, and is organized to regulate the profession of civil engineering in California. Governor Young has made his appointments to that board. Albert Given, of Sacramento; Donald M. Baker of Los Angeles and H. J. Bunnier of San Francisco comprise the personnel. The fight for the creation of the Board was led by Baker, who was formerly hydraulic engineer for the state division of water rights. There is no salary attached, but a sec-
retary at a $3,600 per annum salary may be employed, and there is no bar to one of the board members acting as secretary.
They act in a sensible manner down in Jamaica. When they determine that it is next to impossible to stop an evil and that evil is taking money from the exchequer of the government, the government takes the evil over. Lotteries are one of the life essentials of the native of that country. The government tried to prohibit it. Then the "boot-leg" lottery came in vogue. Raids and arrests failed to check them. The profits were enormous and the risk run was negligible. Now the government is going to take over the lottery and run it as a government institution. Thereby adding to the wealth of the public chest as well as asuring the players of fair deal. It will also eradicate a band of "law breakers," and create a greater respect for constituted authority.
It doesn't seem as if President of the United States gives a "whoop" for the "loyal" party man any more than the Governor of California cares about him. Why, fellows you ought to know the game of California politics by this time. I don't blame the President for ignoring the herd. Do not worry boys! You will get a sop before November of 1930.

THE CARE OF OUR BABIES! I "Well begin is half done" applies truly to many, many things in life. But it applies I do believe, with far more focus to the new baby than it does to most things. Every father in the world wants a fine baby. Every mother is anxious for a "perfect" baby. With what eagerness the family stands around the hospital doors waiting for the doctor to announce that he has brought the finest baby in town to their household. I myself know only too well the pleased look on the faces of the members of the family when I go out of the the delivered room and can say. "Well, we are thankful for a wonderful baby every little limb is perfect; and from tip of its little toe to the crown of is head there is no blemish on it." Yes every one WANTS a perfect baby but how many parents are willing to do their part to get one?
Years before the baby is born when the father of the baby was a little boy, he began to put into his body the kind of material which he would contribute to his baby for its body building. He may have eaten a lot of candy, cookies, cheeses and other cheesebaker's "foods" and formed a wormout stomach to hand down to his baby. He may have learned early to smoke cigarettes and fashioned a set of wormout nerves to give to his little one. He may have yielded to obey a temptations and a a devilish attitude, and denied arteries, a shrunken brain, weakened will power and a terrible craving for drink to pass on to his helpless little one.
On the other hand he may have that early—even in inexperienced youth, that one half of his baby would be contributed by him what he wanted his child to be, mentally, physically and spiritually what he himself should seek to be; that as he passed his own body and mental tendencies on to his child, he would see that which he wanted to see and not that which would make him ashamed. He may have eaten wholesome foods to build a strong body. He may have chosen clean amusements and pleasures to ensure freedom from preventable diseases. He may have had a chance. He may even have had the courage and will power to refuse tobacco and alcohol in all forms that his body might have a start without the crippling effect of these poisons.
All young fathers want fine babies, but how many are willing to pay the price for them? From my own experience I can believe that the fathers, in the better class of patience are just as much interested in having a "wonderful" baby as the mother is, and I do believe that most of the time that the father sticks out his chest even farther than the mother does hers, when a "real boy," comes along, to bear his name. He doesn't want a little "weasened" dried up baby, without enough flesh to cover its bones, to inherit his name and all of his fortune (?) He wants the very finest, most perfect baby in the baby land to be sent to his house. But he so often fails to remember that he is writing out the description of his own baby by his mode of living years and years before Junior arrives.
THE MOTHER AS A GIRL
Many mothers these days are beginning to get anxious about prenatal care a few months before the baby is born. But many mothers begin to think of the "prenatal" care of their babies when they themselves are still growing girls? And yet this is truly the time when much is done which will determine what kind of a baby you will have. If you tear down your own body and your own morals then where will you get second ones to pass on to your little ones? Babies are the product of three things: paternal heritage, maternal heritage and environment; and nature surely passes on to your child that which you allow, toologe or develop in yourself.
Everything depends upon our babies in a colossal sense the destiny of our Race depends upon the coming generation, and their whole future is
bound up inseparably with the question as to whether the men and women of this generation will give them the right to be well born.
Nat'l. Memorial Commissioners Appointed by Pres. Hoover
In carrying out the provisions of an act of Congress on March 4, 1929, creating a Commission to supervise plans for the erection of a National Memorial Building in Washington, D.C., as a tribute to the Negro's contributions to America and its achievements along all lines. President Hoover has appointed the following persons to be members of the National Memorial Commission: The Commissioners will meet shortly to organize and formulate plans for carrying out the provisions of the act and the object of the Memorial Association.

NEGRO PHILOSOPHY
THE TWO CRUSADERS
BY: THE DEACON
---
Said Bob to Gus
My plans are laid,
To lead our disciples
On a righteous Crusade
I'll go with you
Said the gloomy Gns,
And together we'll raise
A cloud of verbal dust.
We should leave our flocks
To sing and pray,
While we go forth
To drive Satan away.
We don't need a multitude
To make old Satan run;
Just hit him on the back
With a Gospel gun.
We'll denounce the Court
And the Bar Association;
We'll criticise the Judge
From our radio station.
We will make this City Rock, tremble and shake. As if it was struck By a violent quake.
We'll pray to the Lord To send a strong backbone For our spineless leader Who sits on the Throne.
His heart is right, But his head is weak; Stop him Brother Gus And don't let him speak.
We will force the Courts To take oroes from us, If they wish to avoid Our verbal dust.
We will recall a Judge Discharge a Chief of Police; Then no one will dare To disturb our Peace.
We'll move the bootleggers from Hollywood
And the Wilshire District too
And make them all settle down
On South Central Avenue.
We'll discharge the Policemen
And have it understood.
That their places will be filled
From the Church Brotherhood.
We will move the gamblers
With the bootleggers down.
Where they may live together
On the East Side of town.
All kinds of movie pictures
We will annihilate.
And force them to move
From this Righteous State.
The Bad Babies Show
We'll put it on the bunn.
Along with the bootleggers
And their traffic in run.
Now, Gus we have subdued
All the impious forces.
And together we will rule
As the victorious bosses.
I will rule the East Side
And you may rule the West.
In any old way
That you may think best.
and Rev Walter H. Brooks of Washington, D. C.

Sunday morning, Cleveland, Ohio. The all prevailing directness with special emphasis here and there. The harem-scarem, jumbled up condition of the Jewish Noah's Ark stores over-spilling their wares and mixed orders of dill pickles, fish and rottening cabbage even on to the sidewalks, rises up striking one full in the face.
Tis Sunday morning! To my mind a morning for repose, of peaceful communion between spirit of man and the Great Spirit, without the intrusion of worldly accurments. The one morning of the week when the quietude of one's little cottage, the scene of sun smiling benignly cown on green lawns and shrubberry, kissing gently the soft, tinted petals of flowers, reaching with long armed beams across snowwhite pillows, playing mischievously 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 mercenary uninsightiness, I should have more easily become in tune and prepared for the felicitations of the Great Spirit on my arrival at the house of worship that morning.

trum, eastern exposure, where the sun, thwarted in its efforts at bombardment, is broken by the art glass of the wintow and softened into varying degrees of colors and lights that play on my dress and steel into my soul, shodding tranquility there.
The music is entrenching, the resounding tones of the organ, the choir singing in its alcove behind the preacher. They are singing the English version of "Inflammatus." The solo part taken by a lyric soprano is as appealing as any prayer. It transcends the very throne of God and on it my poor spirit is winged.
I feel now, that if some master chord could have been sounded by a great band, the cymbals clashing and drums roaring in the finale, afterward a pause a silence in which no one spoke or moved for a full minute and then for him to have arisen and in the same voice, same manner and same words spoken, it would have been more than human weakness could endure.
In appearance, just an old man who had perhaps served his oary as a preaeher. No special feature or expression to recommend him. Soiteyed and weary he appeared. A delegate to the Sunday school Congress, he hailed from Georgia. I thought, remembering some things I had heard of that state. "Can any good come out of Georgia?" I had remember his name, although he is pastor of a large church in Atlanta. I believe, the church in whose basement Spellman University had its incipiency. For fifty odd years he has shepherded that same flock, grown up with one generation and had the third generation to grow up under him.
He spoke. The tone of voice not exceeding that of ordinary conversation. No jumpings or poundings to give impression. He began to teach the people out of a life rich in experiences and a heart full of tenderness of compassion and understanding. A spirit strong from communion and contact with the Great Spirit gave life to the words uttered.
People leaned forward to catch each word that fell like sparkling jewels from his lips. Young and sophisticated students, men of science and letters, older people, some hardened by the world's buffetings, all sat with evens rivited in silence on this venerable old prophet. You could tell by the tenseness of their faces, the veins protruding along the glands of the neck and over the temples, by the riggedness of the skin covering the jaw bone, that some were laboring under the stress of "quenching the spirit."

East truly met West very recently in one of our institutions of higher learning—and on quite friendly terms. The twain became one in interest, sympathy, and objective; the Orient elbowed and confabbed with the Occident in mutual fashion. The occasion was a Tea given to the Cosmopolitan Club of the Pasadena Junior College. The writer speaks from a first visitation in their midst, notwithstanding he feels constrained to give vent to an enthusiasm that will not acquiesce; namely: this Club of Na-positive veritable university POSITIVE good-will and understanding 'tween the races; for there were present the many colors of the human spectrum—Jew and Gentile; Whites, blacks and Yellows, arrayed the club room in profusion.
We listened to welcome remarks given almost in unison by Caucasians of differing racial traditions; we rally from the shock of such unanimous hospitality only to be transported on wings of music—Chinese music, played by a Chinese; music that proves, at least, the aesthetic kinship of the peoples of the earth; music that revealed a plaintive, pleasant, mysteriousness of the Mongolian soul.
A Japanese renders American songs on a Hawaiian guitar; a Negro speaks on Human Brotherhood; a Filippino, a daughter of Britain, and a Hind, exchange characteristic views, the general tone of whiff is humanitarian in intent.
Over the tea cups the "IDEA" of common brotherhood doffs its drab garment of "more theory" and reclothes itself in the pleasing attitude of ACTUALITY for a short period at least.
The hours grow late; buenos noches are exchanged, and heterogeneous beings depart musin gon the ideal of genuine fellowship between the races.
Mosby and Washington Present Spanish Revue
BLOWERS AT THEIR BEST
Curtis Mosby and Mildred Washington present for their guests' approval this week a Spanish Revue.
Curtis and Mildred take you back to old Spain with no reservations. Every detail of old Spain is presented. The chorus does several old world numbers that take and no less. Suey Hoy the personality kid and Ivy Anderson do speciality numbers that knock them on their seats.
DRINARD TRIO
The famous Dinarid Trio are right there with theirs. That Trio can't be beat. Sugarfoot and Smiles are the same old team and are stepping right along as usual. Mary Richards sings one of the King of Spain's favorites and goes over big.
JONES AND ANDERSON
The unbeatable team of Jones and Anderson with the help of the chorus and Sugarfoot Brown and Smiles pull off a side-splitting comedy ball fight.

neath, clasping more tightly my hands that were moist with suppression. My throat ached even my arms were tingling. "Halleujah, halleujah, amen," rang in my ears until my head felt big and unnatural. I was afraid that I would make a scene, shout or holler out against my will and that among strangers in a strange land. Then, I couldn't have withstood another minute, there was the altar call. Phew! and I was all weepy inside, broken into a thousand bits. If I could have rushed out into the privacy of some place and there throwing myself face downward allowed my puny, weak, cringing spirit further communication with the Great Spirit. I should have "gotten the victory," I am sure.
My pen is too feeble to relate his message. He taught men concerning their spirit in relationship to the Great Spirit; that God is not in the far away heavens, waiting with stern and avenging brow the day of judgment to vent His wrath; that He is within you, ever present and ready to manifest Himself.—Selah.

You ask me in a breath. I answer in a breath—Good!
The story is taken from, and the scene laid among, a group whose everyday life is toil; whose enjoyments and entertainments are limited to the picking of a banjo or guitar accompanied with jigging and general laughter, or a sweep to the city dives where drinking, gambling and lewd women are much indulged; whose living conditions are in keeping with a poor, benighted, exploited few, where a family of eight, after a strenuous day in the cotton fields with earl sleep and exist in one large room, women and children; whose ambitions are negligible, as education, knowledge, sanitation, social contact (and I am almost tempted to say civilization itself) to these helpless animals are so but many words, whose expression savoring of no meaning; whose religious inclination, (as interpreted by them) is the only hope and surcease of a struggling soul in its desperation to exist; and finally whose lives and dispositions remain ever sweet and kind under the scorching heat of tribulations and hardships, because of the placing within the heart of this group by its Creator, a fountain which overflows forever and continually with love—A BLACK PEOPLE.
A few of the scenes are overdrawn with detail and some others where detail is very lacking. In one secrete—that of the baptising by Brother Ezekiel of the many converts he had gained at his camp meeting—the dignity, solemnity, and true-to-life intent at that point was greatly weakened by the carrying (in his arms) of Chick from the water to her tent; by Brother Ezekiel, when other candidates yet remained on the banks to be immersed, and in which tent he remained long enough for his mother to come from the waterfront, upbraid him, and send him back to finish his work. In all walks of life, among all peoples, and degrees of intelligence there is a certain amount of impressiveness attached to various ranks from which none deviate, and I think that this occasion was one with hundreds gathered around at such a time as that, it is not reasonably true to life that Brother Ezekiel would have acted so unwisely, as I am satisfied from the acting and portrayal by the actors that both were sincere in their claim and profession of religion; therefore the atmosphere was destroyed.
The running away of Brother Ezekiel and Chick was perfectly alright and natural, but another time and place, other than the occasion chosen—that of the camp meeting where many were gathered, and where all were under the deep influence of the "Spirit," as portrayed—would have been more appropriate.
The scene where Ezekiel slips into the house as Missy Rose plays the wedding march on the old family organ for the couple who are about to be married is somewhat overdrawn, over-acted and the wrong "register" by Daniel Haynes for the situation as I thought intended—that of Ezekiel surprising 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 lovers. And if the intention was otherwise, it was entirely out of order in the picture on the occasion.
On the whole the acting is good and the actors should not be censured or criticized too severely, as with prolonged 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.
Well, it's good! Why?
Pictures, which are produced from life, books or imagination, are not judged by whether the individual likes them or not (except they be a propaganda group, religion, or nation, jeopardizing the peace thereof) but by the ability of the actors to portray the characters represented therein. In Hallelujh the acting of all is superb, and of course, Nina Mae McKinney and Daniel Haynes as the two leads gain deserving recognition. The voice of Daniel Haynes, as registered over the microphone and brought to the audience, is simply marvelous in its mellow sweetness, especially when he sings; and that of Nina Mae's is beyond criticism in its perfection.
It is good! And Mr. King Vidor and the M. G. M. Stuolos are to be complimented for their courage in affording BLACK TALENT in opportune manner to pursue its ability before a uniformed public in HALLELU-TA
FRANKIE CAMPELL GETS SEMI-FINAL TO WALKER-HUDKINS FIGHT BY D. WEBSTER
That Frankie Campbell is a fighting fighter, who is destined to make pugilistic history, is the opinion of all light experts, who have seen this youthful phenom in some of his bouts.
Campbell is just at the right age, 24 years old, to make a real bid for pugilistic supremacy. He weighs 185 pounds stripped for ring action, and he now stands ready and willing to meet any heavyweight live, regardless of his reputation or record.
Campbell is coming all the time. His last fight when he knocked out Harry Beum in two rounds put him right in the heavyweight division, and all fight writers, who have seen his work claim him as a fighter, who cannot, and will not be denied.
Damon Runyon, noted sports writer, and leading boxer writer of America was sold on Harry Beum. He predicted great things for him and Beum was truly a glowing prospect until Frankie Campbell put out his light by knocking him cold in two rounds Campbell with this pugilistic feather in his cap became, and is, the most talked of fighter in California today. Beum, amateur heavyweight champion of the world, was a protege of Geo. Blake, who developed Fidel La Barba, flyweight champion, and Jackie Fields, welterweight champion, and the astute Blake, one of the greatest judges of boxers in America said numerous sweet things of Beum, the man whom Frankie Campbell annihilated in two rounds.
Campbell today is the nearest approach to the Dempsey of the Firpo and Willard conquests of any ringman in the world. Campbell weaves and bobs precisely like the Manassa Man Mauler of the Willaro and Firpo periods, and he punches just as justly and as accurately as Jack Dempsey, the man-tiger, did in his most forocious days.
Campbell is a protege of Jack Dempsey and that renowned champion thinks so well of the new fighting sensation that after Dempsey beat Firpo in their thrilling bout at the Polo Grounds in New York the manassa man maulief present Frankie Campbell, the new Dempsey with the tights he wore in the famous Firpo fight.
Tommy Maloney, and intimate personal friend of Jack Dempsey is managing and directing Frankie Campbell's pugilistic destinies, and he is our manager, who is willing to take a chance with his fighter and is not picking the soft spots for him.
Campbell is to box the semi windup to the Walker-Hudkins world's championship bout at Wrigley Field, Oct. 29. He meets Eddie Horting, a tough young heavyweight in the next to the main attraction bout. Fight writers from all sections of America will attend the Walker-Hudkins' championship contest and they'll get a chance to see the new fighting phenom, Frankie Campbell in action, against a tough, rugged and fiery fighter.
Campbell is a San Francisco boy of Italian lineage, and all the fire dash, color daring and courage of a fighting and loving race.
Manager Tommy Maloney, the ban, who brought Armand Emanuel into the sportlight is willing to wager some real money that in Frankie Campbell, the six foot ring Adonis, as the Los Angeles scribes have named him, he has the best of the modern contenders for the heavyweight laurels.
Fight experts, who saw Frankie Campbell knockout Beum in two rounds lauded him to the skies, and pointed out that he is one of the very few heavyweights, since Jack Dempsey's palmy knee since he knocked Beum with either hand, He's two handed fighter, can box with the best of them, and in his thirty-one fights, none of his opponents really bothered him.
"Chuck" Wiggins, the iron man of the ring, was really knocked out by Campbell in their Oakland bout, though Wiggins got the nod on a foul from a friendly referee. Campbell a murderous body puncher, landed a killer on Wiggins stomach, and Wiggins went down grooming, and the old foxy claimed a foul, which he got away with. Campbell, the new ring phenom, handed Wiggins the worst pasting, this tough hombre ever received in his long and hazardous ring career, and Wiggins fought 'em all.

BOULDER DAM, LOS ANGELES
AND THE NEGRO
(By E. L. DORSEY)
Continued from Last Week
Entering upon the story of Boulder Dam proper, it is perhaps necessary or at least advisable to include a brief story of the Colorado River and conditions apertaining thereto, giving the readers a surface idea of basic conditions leading up to both the construction of the dam proper by the Government and the proposed aqueduct by what is known as the Metropolitan water district. While the Colorado River is universally known throughout the southwest as a turbulent stream of water there are few who know its origin and are acquainted with its characteristics.
The Colorado River is not only the largest stream in southwestern United States and the largest remaining natural asset undeveloped in that region, but as has been called one of the remarkable rivers of the world in its value for irrigation and water power; no other river on this continent affords such enormous possibilities for this double use of water. Rising in the high mountains of Colorado and Wyoming, it flows through these two states and the states of Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California, forming part of the boundry between Arizona and Nevada and between Arizona and California. Crossing the boundry line between the United States and Mexico it flows 90 miles through the latter country, discharging finally into the head of the Gulf of California.
From an elevation of 14,000 feet above sea level at the source, the river descends rapidly to 3,900 feet elevation at the junction with the Green, where it enters a restricted channel in the form of canyons which become deeper and deeper until it enters the famous Grand Canyon of Arizona where the water is some five to six thousand feet below the surface of the surrounding plateau. After passing through this tremendous chasm it enters a section which while restricted by short canyons, has numerous small valleys and open spaces, and finally the River emerges into the low, flat plains near its delta. From its fartherest source to, its discharge in the Gulf of California it covers a distance of approximately 1,750 miles and has a drainage area of 244,000 square miles. To total water supply of the Colorado River Basin is approximately 21,700,000 acre feet per annum, or an amount of 3400 square miles to a depth of 10 feet. Actual measurements over a period of twenty-five years show an annual average discharge at Yuma of 17,000,000 acre feet of water—this after depletion by irrigation—from the River above. The River's flow varies greatly both annually and seasonally. Annual discharges as great as 26,000,000 acre feet and as low as 8,000,000 acre feet have been recorded at Yuma. Seasonal variation is also of magnitude. In flood season—May and June—the discharge at times is more than 200,000 cubic feet per second by actual measurements. The flood of 1884 was estimated to be 384,000 second feet. Indications given by marks left by high water at some time previous to known records would indicate a discharge greatly in excess of even this figure, possibly 500,000 second feet. During the months of low flow—August, September and October—the discharge may fall as low as 2,500 cubic feet per second. On September 11, 1924, a discharge of less than 1,300 cubic feet per second was recorded.
This great body of running water just described in its present uncontrollable state has as previously stated created a flood methane that each year during the months of June and July and August, which are known as the flood period, threatens to wipe out a valley populated with some 75,000 people who have approximately over one million acres of cultivated farms, and in which valley is to be found more than thirty thirty villages and towns with an annual crop valuation exceeding a hundred million dollars, a substantial portion of which is ramified with Los Angeles' assets and economic growth. The potential value of their homes, lands and improvements is in excess of $800,000,000. All these lie at the merge of a great and pitiless river which, during three successive months of each midsummer causes its inhabitants many sleeps nights and is apt at any moment and without warning to turn its raging torrents across their farms and towns.

Mickey Walker will find Ace Hudkins the most aggressive fighter he has ever faced. In the gym Ace is not the wild cat he is in the ring. You will find him eager, crafty, he over looks no opportunity; he does not waste punches. Like in him like the Dr. Jeykell and Mr. Hyde, everything comes to him at the proper time.
APEX NITE CLUB
With a tourish, the current revue at the Apex Nite Club has entered into its second week, with no noticeable let-up in the number of "cash customers" who desire to this outstanding effort of that master of night club revivals, Curtis Mosby. The up-town critics, without exception, are simply wild over this splendid presentation, "A Spanish Festival," and is to the credit of Mosby, that this revue tops anything heretofore produced and staged by him at the Apex, Eddie and Connie Anderson, that versatile team recently added to the already wonderful show of Mosby's simply "stals" the show, and the burlesque base ball game, offered at the Apex, for the first time anywhere, is a riot of fun, and keeps the patrons in convulsions long after it has been finished.
Space does not permit us to tell of all the many nice things connected with this outstanding show. William E. (Bill) Oliver, of the Evening Herald says "It's the best night club that I have ever reviewed, in or near Los Angeles, and deserves the consideration of everyone, who desire an evening of splendid entertainment and that coming from one of the Metropolitan dailies, is praise, worthy of mention.
There is no question but that Mosby's "Greatest Colored Floor Show in America" is certainly living up to its reputation, and it does by his patrons and guests. That old reliable and favorite musical organization, Mosby's noted Dixieland Blues Blowers, are presenting an especially prepared program of dance selections, in keeping with the name of the show, which is decidedly Spanish.
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
(Continue from Section I, Page 1)
Law and orderl means protection for all it means, no person is presumed to be guilty of crime except by a due and fair trial in the court, which verdict is to be rendered by a jury of their peers. We insist upon this in any circumstance.
We are especially impressed that the people are in line with the prevailing sentiment to stand by the public officials who are proving their worth in making the city clean and ridding it of graff and vice.
Surely then, we quality to purge and in reality become a part and percel of our community in pursuit of progress and eligible indeed to participate in all of its branches and capacities.
There is no one who can accuse the present city and county administration of any partiality in prosecuting graft and corruption; surely not, when the mighty have been dehonored and sent to prison as a foe runner to all who transgress.
In the same situation, we expect full justice to all. We can assume with reasonable expectations, that justice will assert itself and all things will be made right. We have a long denied justice to expect in our police department where earned promotion has been denied to faithful and honest officers, to our Civil Service Commission which has made it impossible for our candidates to succeed even after they have qualified in competitive examination.
We may well reasonably expect recognition wherever we may qualify to represent. We may well expect in due time a Chief of Police who will want real officers of the law not white officers not black officers, but officers good and true who will come up from Civil Service competition and be assigned in their turn upon their merits and all of this is the sort of justice we are looking for.
We are of the opinion after watching closely and careful that in Mayor Porter we have as our chief executive a man who believes in that sort of justice.
City Attorney Werner has already demonstrated his fairness and we appreciate him for it.
District Attorney Flits has publicly made the gesture for justice and the square deal, we have faith in his integrity.
Police Commission we have an abiding faith in its sense of justice which has responded to all reasonable requests and we sense the unbearing in of a new day, when man will be just to his fellowman and all wrongs will be righted.
The ring spectacle of a decade—a house crown will have to be handled with all the experience of a careful collar of directors and authors. Three hundred and one have been framed thoroughly to escort you to your seat. Kelly Hoffman will be responsible for the seating of 100,000 people. He is equal to most of the most important legislators in Jack Doyle's House of Pits.

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.

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.
SIDELIGHTS ON THE GAME
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.
ELKS BEAT LANGFORD
Young Sam Langford put up his usual nouncott against Tommy Elks. And lost it of course. Nothing more could be expected of Sam Lang-

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.

BIG FOOTBALL GAME KEEPS
PORTERS BUST
Coast Line Crews Must Double
Last night the Southern Pacific
station began to take on the appearance of a mobilization camp as the vanguard of the biggest football movement in the history of the Los Angeles District got under way; all extra porters entering the district for the past week have been held in readiness to take care of the great army of "Trojan football" rooters and fans that will make the trip to Palato Alto in special trains. 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.
pected to double. Tonight the last of the trains will leave Los Angeles in order to be in the northern city in time for the game. 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.

At a local meeting, Mr. Mays made a brief address, and looked the picture of the health that he went in search for, the members of Local No. 18 (were very much elated in having their president once more back in their midst.
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!

T. Taft has been off for a trip on account of sickness.
After wining his bet on the world's series with Sam Pankey, Mr. H. L. Armstrong finds it a hard matter to collect with the unfortunate Mr. Pankey in the hospital, the bet was a Stetson hat.
O. Soares, claims that his friend B. A. Hicks having invited himself to Soares house to breakfast recently and endeavored to eat Oscar out of house and home, which I will admit would not take much to do.
Everyone is wondering what has become of Mr. Winn, former railroad columnist of the Pacific Defender.
Seems as though our friend J. Carter No. 2 is still getting a bad break on the extra board. Maybe he will be able to get a extra car on the "Lark" when Mr. Ross returns, but until then he must sing that song, when the sands of the desert grow colder.
How come! porter L. J. Green and E. E. Meyers was able to sell the sign out mat on a regular car to the world's series, well I guess you can do anything if you no how.
Well! It looks like Eldridge for our new Porters instructor instead of Jones.
The private car of Mrs. Annita Baldwin daughter of Luckey Baldwin, was attached to the "Chief" last week. It takes some, pull and a lot of real cash to do that.
Mr. and Mrs. King Johnson, motorized down to Watts last week in their new Studebaker to pay Mr. and Mrs. R. Hicks a visit.
Porters were seeing stars last week after the order of Eastern Stars got through riding the pullmans from San Diego to Los Angeles.
Mr. Robinson, Santa Fe Pullman Platform agent was all smiles last week, on account of an addition in his family. Yep! a red headed ten pound boy.
