City Wide Clean Up Started
TH EASTERN PAPERS are carrying headlines to the effect that Harlem Seventh Day Adventist Churches are withdrawing from the General Conference presided over by all white people. And it seems that the white heads look on the attempt of the Negroes to organize an independent body with a degree of regret. It seems that the Herlem Aframericans are following in the footsteps of the Ephesus Seventh Day Adventist Church, Washington, D. C., under the leadership of Elder Atkinson, which, it is said, withdrew when the Conference demanded that the church turn over its property holdings to the general governing body, composed of all white churchmen.
IN BUSINESS the Negro is finding himself. More and more daily he is gaining confidence in his dark brother bigger and better business is being established by Negroes and for Negroes. However, the business soil for Negroes is yet virgin. And his slow progress along this line is due to the fact that he has not been able to distinquinate business and friendship. Hence he spends more time tearing down than he does building up.
If my friend starts a business project, it matters not how crooked the plan of procedure, because he is my friend, even though his plan is destined to rob many innocent Negroes out of their lives, savings I am a very insincere individual if I speak against his plan.
THEN THERE are far too many apparently big Negroes who are willing to be the tools of white men who are out with programs they class as big business for Negroes—These "play boy Negroes" as a rule are the smiling sort. After they call on you and bring a white friend with them, whom they introduce as Mr. John Doe, who is interested in our people, the stage for putting over the big business scheme is set, with Mr. Droe stranding smilingly by Mr. Colored Man's side, who is producing a convincing argument as to the values be received by investing in said project. The scene is perfect with the Colored brother to the fore and Mr. White Man's smile constantly increasing in warmth, until the Colored brother slips a cog in his story; when the white friend rushes, uninvited, to his rescue—It is this way. We realized the needs of YOUR PEOPLE along these lines, tracts of land, insurance propositions, some oil wells, or some gold mines, which we have preserved especially for you.
Of course the Colored Man has been assured that the bigger the proposition goes over the bigger will be his benefits therefrom.
NEW YORK CITY and Chicago furnish many examples where the Negro is in front playing owner as he takes in the shoekles from other Negroes while the other man presides over the cash register and does not hesitate to change Negro bosses when occasions necessitating the same arise.
And if you will look around you on our own Central Avenue you will be able to discern a similar condition arising so rapidly that the casual observer is not yet wise as to what is going on.
Well, I hear some saying: "The white man has the cash, how are we to compete with him?"
Get together, pool our finance, be it ever so small and after we have, for instance, established stores such as the Pyramid Co-Operative Grocery and the John Gray Grocery, throw our trade to them in such volume that they may order by the car load instead of small quantities, and they will then be able to sell on the same principle as the Safeway and other like stores.
We need business confidence and proper respect.
REGARDLESS OF what the Fellowship Forum thinks about it marriage is a proposition between two persons. And those States placing on their statutes laws preventing intermarriage between the races are sowing the wind and must reap the whirlwind.
It was once an unwritten law that in marriage a man should always be at least a little older than his bride, now it is the custom for old men to marry young girls, while the old ladies help themselves to boys in cases where they have proper remuneration with which to turn the deal.
And so it is, love goes where it is sent, as a rule to the highest bidders.
sent, as a rule to the highest bladder. Some years ago Ray Stannard Baker wrote articles dealing with treatment life in Chicago in which he stated that white women who had not always walked in the straight narrow path, when they settled down wanted, and as far as possible secured, Black Men for husbands because, as they said, they were kinder.
in spite of the fact that this Fellowship Forum states that the German (Please Turn to Page Two)
THE LINCOLN THEATRE
We have recently visited the above show house several times and on each occasion we have with regret noticed the sparse attendance, knowing as we do the superb ownership, management and high class performance we have made inquiry as to the cause of this tremendous falling off in attendance, and in spite of our querie we have as yet received no satisfactory answer.
And here we are.—The owners have spared neither labor nor money to place right in our midst at our very doors as it were, just about the niftiest playhouse to be found anywhere. They have likewise employed one of the most capable, energetic and courteous members of our group as the manager of this institution, and brought to us the very best talent in America for our edification and we would say if a people will not give to such inducements a fair, a good and lasting patronage they are not deserving of the consideration given.
It may be possible they prefer cheap movie pictures. If so, they are heading that way at a rapid rate.
The Lincoln Theatre furnishes a great and impressive pay roll. This being so we have but one duty to perform and that is to give this house our fullest co-operation and support.
Northern Representatives of Golden State Ins. Co. Honored
Mrs. Isabel Haskell, special representative of the Northern California district, and Mrs. Willetta Poston, one of the leading agents of that district for the Golden State Insurance Company, were honored with a luncheon at the Home Office of the Company on Saturday, November 16th.
The assembly room, transformed into a dining room, with officials, field representatives and office employees seated at three beautifully decorated tables, furnished a very inspiring sight.
Responding to many expressions of welcome made by various representatives, Mrs. Haskell said, "I have seen pictures of the Home Office building and have heard many good things about the Home Office agency staff, but I must confess that our beautiful Home Office building is far beyond my expectations, and what I have heard doesn't tell half of the story. I have been greatly inspired by my visit to the Home Office and will go back to my district determined to do greater work in the future.
Mrs. Poston also expressed herself as being greatly benefited by her visit to the Home Office and re-affirmed the remarks made by Mrs. Haskell.
Forty-five field representatives and employees of the Company were present and all enjoyed the four-course luncheon and expressed themselves as being happy for the occasion and their connection with the Golden State Insurance Company.
LEGION INITIATES AND ENTERTAINS
LEGION INITIATES AND ENTERTAINS
The assembly room of Benjamin J. Bowie Post was filled to the bulging on Monday night by more than two hundred members who had gathered for initiation and entertainment. Twenty-two of the eighty members who have enrolled within the past forty-five days were initiated by a newly organized initiation team. One hour of the meeting was given over to business and the balance was consumed by entertainment and refreshments.
The activities committee secured the entertainment which featured good numbers by the team of "Sunburnt" Jim and Miss Brown and a score of entertainers from the Apex Night Club whose services were donated by their fellow comrade Curtis Mosby. A black-face team of juveniles and a dozen numbers from talent within the Post comprised the more than two hours of wholesome entertainment.
Special emphasis was made by the membership committee, Edward Carlyle, it chairman, that a dispensation is on during this month for new members and that every effort should be made to get eligible veterans to come in during this membership drive. The Benj. J. Bowie Post now has a membership of more than two hundred and is making a strenuous effort to reach the three hundred mark by the first of the coming year.
LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1929
The organization of the State Association for Elks which will convene, December 29-31 will bring to the city many delegates, also visiting brethren who will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit L. A. Rates over the several railway lines have been applied for asking for 10 days which will give every delegate and visitor ample time to attend the convention and spend some time with friends as well. Already about eight orders have qualified by remitting their fees. Of the lodges qualified there will be represented more than a thousand Elks. In the East every State has a State Association and once a year they stage a demonstration of some character which is a boost to the order and a means of increasing their financial strength as well as encouraging others to join. Southern California will

Leon N. Hefflin Transfers $30,000 Of His Stock To Treasury Of The Hefflin Mfg. Company, Inc.
Last week I issued a statement for the benefit of the public, in which I explained my mission; what had been accomplished and the future results that would be achieved in the adoption of a scientific plan of operation by the Hefin Mfg. Company, Inc. of Los Angeles.
At a meeting of the Engineering Committee which was held last Saturday the assets of the company were analyzed. It was discovered that an item of $30,000.00 was exhibited among the assets which represented the value of the good-will of Mr. Hefin's private business at the time he sold his business to the corporation, therefore, in addition to the stock that he (Mr. Hefin) actually paid for he was issued $30,000.00 worth of stock in payment for the good-will of his business, all of which the committee realized and agreed that the transaction was absolutely regular and just then they proceeded to discuss that particular asset, and finally concluded by referr-

Relatives and friends of Captain F. H. (Cumbly paid respects to what remained before them last Tuesday at the Independent Church of Christ of their loved ones.
At 2 o'clock the great organ of the Independent Church played the funeral dirge and a steel-grey casket, covered with flowers borne the remains of the soldier, citizen and Christian to position in front of the altar. Rev. Samuel M. Beane was in charge, and read the obituary.

activities of the deceased were read and delivered by members of Baker Commandery, Roosevelt Camp. Spanish American war veterans and Benjamin Bowie Post. Echoes of appreciation for a life that had been worthwhile in the community where he presided were heard from S. Oliver representing the L. A. Forum, of which Capt. Crumbly had been a member and former president; Mrs. C. A. Bass of the Calif. Eagle represented the citizens; J. H. Shackelford represented the Fraternities, and a very splendid narrative by Geo. A.

Sensational Hearing on Closing of Apex Suddenly Closes Hearing as its Fate Taken Under Advisement by Poll Commission
Sensational Hearing on Closing of Apex Nite Club Suddenly Closes Hearing as its Fate is Taken Under Advisement by Police
Commission
The hearing before the Police Commission of the Apex Nite club upon the citation to show cause why its permit should not be canceled, drew a capacity house as proceedings opened last Tuesday and was suddenly terminated on Wednesday about 4:00 p.m. It was at this time that the Commission announced that it satisfied and could make its decision upon the showing made to which the attorneys for the Police Department and the Apex club accused.
Captain H. A. Hagar of the Newton Street Division was the first witness, for it was he who filed the charge asking for the revoking of the permit. His testimony unfolded the "bug under the chip" as to who was behind the attempt to close the Apex Citizens who were indignant at the Captain are now firm in their appraisal of his honor and standing as
Crumbly in the organization and operation of the Independent Church of Christ. The other ministers who assisted Rev. Beane were Dr. A. P. Shaw and Dr. E. E. Lightner. Conner Johnson, funeral directors, were in charge.
Our beloved friend, Floyd H. Crumbly was born, of humble but honorable parentality, in LaGrange, Ga., May 10, 1869. As a result of that abominable institution which Divine Justice had already, decreed should be banished from our fair land, the father and mother were separated, the one from the other, never to meet again. This left young Floyd to the care of his aged grand parents, until his father having heard of his whereabouts, after the war, returned to give him such care and protection as he could afford.
The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person, but no identifiable features or details can be discerned.
His early education was, very limited, consisting almost entirely of private lessons which he was able to obtain through the goodness of one Rev. George Standing, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church. It was the splendid example and wonderful influence of this good man that laid the foundation for the strong character that he developed.
At the age of eighteen, a new influence came into his life, which was destined to play such a remarkable part in both life and career. There came, at that time, to Atlanta, a re-

an officer and man. He did not hesitate to state the instigator for he called names and detes right out in court. The reason for this appreciation on behalf of the public is the fact they can now put two and two together and all of the unseen forces come to light. They can also be the judges of the character and standing for leadership which has brought forward the charges and cut the blame where it belongs.
Following Captain Hagar, Serft Curley who investigated district was called, and let us say the Sergeant was eminently fair and did not in anyway seek to magnify any condition which he reported upon. He was asked if on his visits to the Apex if the club was run in as good a manner as other clubs in the city; he stated yes and much better than many of them.
APEX CLUB DECISION PENDING
CASE NOW UNDER ADVISEMENT BY THE BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS
The upstanding, forward looking, progressive citizens of the Colored Race; the fair-minded, justice-loving citizens of the White Race—all of them are asking of the Commission to give to the Apex and its owner, Curtis Mosby, a SQUARE DEAL.
The "California Eagle," which for fifty years has stood by in this community advocating Law and Order in all of its fullness, and ever a close student of events and situations, after viewing, meeting with and making a close-up analysis of this situation, is thoroughly of the opinion that the PRESENT BOARD of POLICE COMMISSIONERS will do that very thing.
We further believe that the old time situation is gone forever, when some lickspittle, operating as the puppet of any CHIEF of POLICE or anybody else can influence such a body as our present Board of Police Commissioners to crucify somebody for revenge, greed or aggrandizement.
In giving due credit to Mosby, who has striven to the utmost for due observance of the 18th Amendment to an extent far more successful than any in a like business, he is entitled to a "break" which will permit more than 150 employees from being put on the streets, out of employment, in these strenuous times.
Women's Day at Wesley Chapel
This Sunday will be Women's Day at Wesley. The Women are determined to excel the men in every way. Their day was last Sunday, but the final reports will not come in until this Sunday.
At the morning service the principal speaker, will be Dr. Ruth Temple. Hear the Women's Chorus led by Mrs. Lillie Smith with Mrs. Emma Markham at the Organ. Special musical selections will be rendered by some of the best talent among our women.
You cannot afford to miss the Special Women's Day Program in the evening at 7:30 o'clock. A program will be rendered which will snow the men completely under.
Mrs. Frances Wicks, Women's Day Leader; Madames Jonnie Webster; Maude Batson, Emma Dunican, and Mary Lindsay, District Managers.
Sergeant Shutert, commander of Vice Squad out of Newton Street, testified to four arrests on Wright Act Possession. He was not so fair as others and a deal of acrimony was apparent in his testimony as he irked under cross examination.
Mrs. Casper, who was expected to testify against the club for the Police, flatly told the Commission, the club did not bother her. She lives in close proximity.
Others who testified and who were members of the raiding squad, such as Sergt. Shoemaker, J. R. Graves, R. Lund, A. P. Sanuers, emphasized the conditions best they could to close Sie Apex.
One U. S. Prizer, was tough on bree and one could see the venom of hate in his heart as he tried to give damaging testimony. He however his swagger and bradadocia manner nullified his purpose.
Chief Deputy Prosecutor McCann at this point tested on behalf of the Police.
Attorney Hugh E. Macbeth, then made the defense statement in a dramatic appeal to the Commission and placed Curtis Mosby on the stand.
Mosby made an excellent witness, for himself and the Apex. He exploded completely the Cossack Police contention that scarcely any meals were served at the Apex, when he produced the cancelled checks to the various wholesale houses for amounts paid for meats and chickens alone way up in the thousands.
At the conclusion or during Mosby's examination Commissioner Drake asked Mosby several pointed questions and at this time the Commission decided it was ready to give its decision but would not announce the same until its next regular meeting. Thereby leaving several score of witnesses who were to testify on behalf of Mosby unheard. All of which was agreeable to Deputy McCann and to Attorney Macbeth and Mr. Mosby.
This trend of events left R. G. Lamar stranded in the witness chair as the offer to prove statements which had been read out of the "California Ergle" as to the threats made to get the license granted on the premises which the Apex now occupies by a local professional politician.
50th Anniversary Book To Be A Complete Record Of What Los Angeles Negroes Have Achieved
Considered one of the most novel ideas in bringing about a definite and complete record of the Negro in his various enterprises for the past fifty years, the California Eagle in its Fifteenth Anniversary is anticipating having the publication off the press the latter part of January.
This Book of statistics, photographs, records, history and literature will be useful and interesting to Negroes from all over Los Angeles County as well as being a source of surprise and information to your friends and relatives wherever they may be.
Owing to such a great undertaking in completely covering Los Angeles county in search for Feature matter and information the solicitors, agents and promoters of the publication will be greatly assisted by those who are in possession of such matter if they will submit it to the California Eagle office at 847 South Central Avenue. It is of vital importance that we get this cooperation in the event a representative of the Eagle Club falls to have an interview with you because by so doing the book will be more properly, authenticated.

Somerville Loses First Battle In Hotel Suit
In Department 20 of the Superior Court last Monday, November 18th, Judge Archibald overruled Dr. Somerville's Demurrer.
Mr. H. A. Howard, who represented the Minority Stockholders and himself, filed suit in the Superior Court some time ago to regain the Hotel property at 41st and Central Ave. After all other defendants filed answer to said suit, Dr. Somerville, who is one of the defendants in said fraud suit, filed a demurrer on the ground that the minority stockholders have no right to file such suit unless the Board of Directors gave them permission to do so. But after plaintiff's attorneys presented all the facts in said matter to the Court, said Court denied Dr. Somerville's contention, which gave a victory to H. A. Howard and other minority stockholders, to fight their case to the finish.
This case has been watched by our groups all over the Country, owing to the fact, that this building was looked upon as one of the finest Hotels in the Country, and was owned and operated by our people but was later taken away because of bad management and misrepresentation on the behalf of Dr. Somerville.

LAURA WONDERFUL
Laura Bowman as the unsuspecting mother of Felice is at her best in this stirring drama of every day life. There seems to be no limit to the acting ability of Miss Bowman. She is great no matter what her role. As we have

Tedls (Rupert Marks) aunt offers to have a famous doctor perform an operation upon the girl, but she reckons without the doctor and is soiled.
Billy Andrews as the protecting brother (Rupert Kennedy) and Theresa Brooks as Miss Miggs, the small sister, enjects the comedy in the drama and are well qualified for the role.
Cleq Desmond as Miss Livingston, the well meaning aunt in a creditable performance and adds much to the story. Miss Livingston tries her best to keep Felice and Ted apart, cuts him off without a dollar, a man that never hit a stroke of work in his life, disowned him, but that makes no difference when there is real love.

Tivoli Ball Room Makes Auspicious Opening
The ballroom de luxe, located at the corner of Central Avenue and Vernon Avenue opened its doors, to the public on last Thursday evening and presented truly the most magnificent and modernly furnished dancing hall in the West.
Every appointment and convenience is available at this place. Heavy drapings were everywhere and the furnishings of the lobbies were superb. The mezzanine is out of this world.
The music by "Rene's" was up to the highest standard and we cannot see any reason why the Tivoli will not readily take its place at the head of its class on merit alone for delicatuation of the dance loving public.

While we did not agree with Cryer during his administration he has our sympathy for the president emeritus of Gossip College has at times slandered the Negro and then attempted to pour molasses on the wound when we wasn't looking. Anyway Cryer has applied the brakes. We do not know how long they will hold.

Our curiosity is still causing us to wonder what disposition was made of the arrest of the colored lad whom a white lady identified so accurately at 3 A. M. as to cause the police to learn his name, and address from her and then arrest him shortly thereafter. That story is like the one regarding the kidnapping of two little girls on the east side recently, to which we again say Poo Poo.
We see again where the tables in the dining room of the Dunbar are still again sporting tablecloth's, and beckoning the public to enter. It looks natural and we hope it lasts.
We wonder if the young colored Insurance agent who was crowing on the Avenue last evening about selling $300,000 worth of Life Insurance for a white company in six weeks, knew what he was talking about said a hundred pound listener who was inhaling the smoke from a two bit cigar.
Well Los Angeles is again graced with the presence of the one and only Wm. (Billy for short) Watson. Two years and some months absence from Heaven has about convinced him that, even tho Bob Shuler, Asa Keyes. Oh Sing the Laundry Lottery man, Sessuz Kemetha of hot dog fame, and some bad tennis and base ball players still share in its population, its not such a worse place to live. Incidentally the public might get some real baseball and tennis news now so prick your ears and tune in on W. A. T. S. O. N.

We see by the East Twenty-third street news that the citizens have asked for neighborhood injunction to prevent the Terry family from moving off the street into their newly acquired home on Adams Street. The injunction sought sets up among other things that Adams Street, folk have not done anything to deserve these folk's permanent company.
We see by the California Eagle where they are coming out with their 50th Anniversary number in January. Well that is something to dress up and shine about. Fifty years speaking newspaper language is quite a record for a colored journal.
Would someone page John Fowler. We haven't seen him of late. Hope he haven't run aloud. Fred Roberts informed us he had gone turkey hunting.

Granady Murder Trial Begins in Chicago Courts
Chicago. Nov. 13-By A.N.P. What is expected to be the most bitterly fought legal battle in the history of the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois, got under way here Thursday morning when Lieutenant Phillip I. Carroll of the Chicago Police Department, and four of his associates faced trial for the murder of Attorney Octavius C. Granady, Negro opponent of Morris Eller, for the leadership of the "Bloody Twentieth Ward," April 10, 1928.
That the expectations are not groundless is clearly indicated by the array of legal talent participating in the trial. The defendants have secured a group of the middle-west's most prominent criminal lawyers to fight for their acquittal and vindication, in attorneys Thomas D. Nash, W. W. and Milton Smith, and attorneys Miles J. Devine, Roland Libonati, and John Johntry.
Pitted against this group of attorneys will be Assistant States Attorney Frank J. Loesch, the 77-year old veteran, and his associates, Assistant States Attorneys William Haynes and Charles Lounsbury, who have worked diligently and plainstakingly on the case and who will ask for a death sentence for the defenders.
NEGROES INTENSELY INTERESTED
Negroes throughout the city and State are intensely interested in the case for two reasons. First is that the murdered man, Octavius Granady, was a Negro, and second is that one of the prosecutors who has taken the most active part in working up the case, Attorney William Haynes, is also a Negro.
Attorney Granady was killed on election day April 10, 1928, by a group of men who pursued him in an automobile and shot him as he was endeavoring to make his escape. Numerous individuals have been charged with the offense but the arrest and indictment of the policemen and four gangsters brought about the dropping of the cases against the other suspects. Lieutenant Carroll and his associates, as well as the four gangsters have denied their guilt and expect to prove their innocence. The States Attorneys have been equally as stalwart in their declaration that the group was guilty and Attorney Loesch has demanded that a death sentence be imposed on the nine defendants declaring:
"It is the theory of the state's case that Lieut. Carroll's squad car and another car carrying these gangsters chased Mr. Granady's car through the streets. Witnesses will identify all of these policemen as being in one car. All nine men were shooting at one time or another. Sometimes in the chase, Carroll's car would be ahead. Sometimes the gangsters' car would be ahead. But there was plenty of shooting from both cars. In Illinois the law says that any man who is an accessory to a crime of murder is a principal. They were all shooting. It makes no difference whose particular bullet killed Granady. They are guilty of murder."
SELECTION OF JURY UNDER WAY
The selection of jury got under way early Thursday morning, when some sighty of the 100 veniremen appeared for examination. Due to the fact that a death penalty will be asked, Judge David, the trial judge is laying particular stress upon the attitude of the veniremen toward capital punishment. Another angle which is being stressed is the political alignment or affiliation of the prospective jurymen due to the fact that politics caused the killing, and it is thought that political forces might attempt to play a part in influencing the verdict.
Some weeks ago one of the state's witnesses was killed and an attempt was made to rifle the office of the office of the State's Attorney of valuable papers and affidavits which are expected to have an important bearing on the case. The robbery was thwarted by Attorneys Haynes and Loussbury, who returned to the office on the night the attempt was made and routed the intruders.
The accused are: Lieutenant Carroll, and policemen: George Tapling, Walter Bailey, Michael Shannon, and Michael Loughney, and the gangsters implicated are: John Armando, Thomas Sonnario, James Balcastro, and Louis Clemente.

Society voted to ostracise Miss Gedelshoff because her love fell on a Negro, Gorman men, especially those of outstanding religious tendencies, prefer wives of Negro extraction to women of their own kind.
"The latest rocket outmining from the recent marriage of Phil Edwards, noted Negro athlete to Edith Cedelshoff is to be found in a recent issue of The Fellowship Forum, the Negro hotting mouth organ of the Ku Klux Klan. The article is headed 'Lodges Pitt- the Condemn Union of White and Negro,' and reads as follows:
Miami, Fl. Decreeal Commanderary Knights of Malta, Little River Council No. 5, Jr. Order United Ancient Mochanites, and the German Society, all of Miami have adopted sets of sizing resolutions protesting and condemning the recent marriage of the white girl, Faith Cedelshoff to the New York Negro, Phile Edward's. Copies of the resolutions in each case were sent to the Florida delegation in Congress, to the German ambassador to the United States, to the Negro's white bride, to her father and to the Fellowship Forum for publication.
The offspring of a white person and a Negro would not be fit to enjoy the association of the lowest grade white or Negro person, recites the Malta resolutions, which adds that it is desirable that posterity in America should be elevated, not lowered, and that the marriage between the white girl and Negro 'shocks the sensibility of all decent white people.

'peril to whites civilization,' says the Jr. Order resolution, which also cites that the Southern States, which know the race problem best and most intimately, have all passed laws against intermarriage of white and black, these laws being the 'public pronouncement of wise and beneficent natural laws.' The resolutions of the Miami German Society expresses especial brief that a girl of German descent had brought such disgrace upon her nationality and race as to constitute a 'moralblemish.' Such marriage is contrary to the laws of humanity and ought, not to be tolerated by decent people.' The German Society voted to 'cautise her from all social intercourse.'
Strange as it may seem there has been nothing said in reference to the fact that Phil Edwards, a star athlete and a college bred man married Edith Cedelshoff, an immigrant girl, whose only accomplishment is being a member of the Caucasian race. The above article states that Miss Cedelshoff has lowered herself in becoming the bride of Mr. Edwards. If the word 'lowered' must be used and a person must be judged by their accomplishments, then Mr. Edwards has certainly stepped from a podcaster to marry this immigrant girl."

Philadelphia—(By A.N.P.)—At the close of business October 4th, The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company reported total resources of $487,473.99. The bank will celebrate its ninth birthday on November 18.

Bobby LaSalle, the big gust of wind from Compton, who was blown right out of the Olympic recently by the fists of Sammy Jackson, tangles with him again at Doe Moffet's Wilmington House of Action, who gives the tans a program of bouts which presages plenty of punching. If LaSalle doesn't make good in this one it will be his last main event on big time so far as the promoters are concerned. Jackson, a glove-throwing neighbor of LaSalle from Santa Monica, who made such a good showing in his recent bout with LaSalle, is a quiet, unassuming kid who goes about his work without much ado—in fact there are so many people who think Jackson can knockout the big gust of wind from Compton, anytime they start. LaSalle did not show enough speed and hitting power in his last start to prove he could punch his way out of a paper bag.

Death of Andrew Thomas Shocks Friends
REMAINS SHIPPED TO NEW ORLEANS
Consternation gripped the younger set when news of the sudden passing of Andrew Jerome Thomas, one of the most popular members of the junior set, was broadcast. Young Thomas died last Friday morning, Nov. 15, 1929 at the General Hospital, following a short illness.
Mr. Thomas came home about ten days prior to his passing, suffering some strange stomach malady. Thursday last, it became necessary to take him to the hospital following a series of hemorrhages. It was from these hemorrhages, that the primary cause of death was deduced. A blood transfusion from his sister failed to save him.
The deceased was a native of Louisiana, having come to Los Angeles, a little over seven years ago. Among the large numbers of prominent friends he quickly made, was Miss Pearl Wise, whom he subsequently married. Their marriage took place seven months before his death. The body was prepared for shipment by the Angels Parlor. A short service was held there Tuesday afternoon for the family and the many friends.
Mr. Thomas made his home at 1338) F. 21st street with his young wife and his sister. The mother of the deceased lives at Le Compti. La accompanying the body to New Orleans were his wife, Pearl; his sister, Mary Jane; an uncle, Ewin Robinson; and an aunt.
HEFLIN TRANSFER STOCK
I commended from praise honoring the matter to Mr. Helin for his inspiration. Mr. Leon N. Helin replied with a written statement, as follows:
Mr. W. D. Alimono and Members of Engineering Committee.
Gentlemen. In reply to your communication of November 10th, it gives us pleasure to say that I have but one objective in life and that is the continued success of the Helfin Mig. Co., Inc., and too, the protection or the interest of all the company's creditors and that of the stockholders. Therefore, in order that the company may prosper, I hereby invovably agree to transfer $30,000.00 of my stock to the treasury which may be used to raise the required capital, as a tangible demonstration of my faith and sincerity.
Very truly yours.

Editor California Eagle.
Los Angeles, Calif.
Dear Sir:
While our "efficient" police force is so busy raiding the Apex Cafe, they might devote just a little time ridding Colored neighborhoods of morons and degenerates of the white race.
The enclosed copy of a letter sent to the Commanding Officer of the Newton Street Police Station speaks for itself.
Los Angeles, Calif. Nov. 20, '99.
1108 12 E. 20th St.
To the Commending Officer,
Newton Street Station,
Los Angeles, Calif.
Dear Sir:
There is a native American white moron or one oak tree ranging around 20th street between Central and Griffith, answering to the following description: Height, about 5 ft. 8 weight about 135 or 140 pounds; very light brown hair, grayish blue eyes; fairly regular, well defined features; speaks with Southern drawl; white shirt open at neck, no necklace or coat.
My wife and I attend Polytechnic evening High School, leaving our four children alone, the oldest ten (10) years of age.
On Tuesday evening, Nov. 19 we wife and myself had just returned from evening school about 9:40 p.m. and had started toward the back of the house, not locking the front door. I turned around and saw this fellow step inside the room. He apologized, turned and went out on the porch. I followed him to the front door. He acted in a dazed manner, and had the appearance of being intoxicated.
He said: "I am out running for a darkey who gyped me, and I am going to lay around this neighborhood until I get him. I got a gat on me. You want to see it?" He reached toward his ipook-t and his eyes rolled wildly. I said "No" and shut the door.
Industrial and Financial REVIEW
Industrial and Financial REVIEW
Money is cheaper as a result of the heavy falling off of brokers coins, and the probability is that it will be still cheaper.
Railroad freight leases are being maintained at high levels, and the equipment business is increasing.
Retail trade continues to show a larger volume than in 1878.
Our foreign trade is growing ever more gratifying. We are developing new markets more than underselling or crowding out markets to reduce largely belonging to competitors at other Nationals.
More sane stock values and prices will ultimately redound to a healthier compilation of general business and the time and energy which so long have been employed by our citizens in watching the tape and indulging in board room gossip, will gradually be utilized in their several businesses.
We like the Oils and Utilities. Stocks purchased outright need to be watched in a mild way, of course, but should not demand the major part of our attention. Investors are still seeking safety and good returns. At the moment, probably because we have just been analyzing Cities Service Common, we consider the investment issue an opportunity for solidity as well as for profitable return. It is just such stocks as Cities Service Common that should set higher through the months and years as pernicious mount.

About 3 or 4 minutes later, the door was struck a lustily blow about 4 feet from the groun. So lustily was the blow that it broke a panel in the door. The blow must have been delivered with the butt of a gun or some heavy instrument.
I started for the door again and the fellow went out through the alley, tearing the fastening off the gate.

It is one thing to be officially thankful and quite another to be actually and personally so. To accept Thanksgiving as an admittedly welcome holiday; to spend it at home enjoying a good dinner followed by a comfortable nap and then go out for a call or two on friends is not enough. One might do this and still not be in the spirit of the day. As the greatest of apostles has written, "the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life."
To be in the spirit of Thanksgiving is to reflect the reasons that one has for national, family and personal thankfulness. Maybe a glance at the pages of a school history of our country might help to quicken the pulse and brighten the eye. Possibly a steady gazing on the familiar features of Washington or Lincoln might be an aid to reflection. Perhaps a mingling with one's fellows in a congregation and the blending of a thousand voices in the strains of "America the Beautiful" might work wonders and be better for the heart than a physician's prescription.
By all means get the spirit of this day, cultivate the habit of thankfulness; let the lilt of the long meter doxology lift one to the peaks of praise. The spirit's the thing! Possess the spirit of gratitude and not only Thanksgiving but every day takes on a new meaning and becomes big with the promise of good will and a friendly world. Recall the Pilgrim Fathers that "Amidst the storm they sang."
Yes, they sang because their spirits were keyed to "the anthem of the free."
Before there was an official Thanksgiving in America, there was a spiritual experience of gratitude spontaneous and profound. That's why we celebrate this day!

Nearly everything attending the celebration of Christmas is very old. Reunions of families, feasting, singing of carols, the tree, the wreaths, the holly, the mistletoe and exchange of gifts have precedents centuries old. In all of it, only the Christmas greeting is, relatively, new. The cards of greeting date from the '40's of the last century.
Yet this fledging of a mere 50 year's growth has become to be the giant of, so to say, Christmas work. For every gift, ten greeting cards, or more, are sent forth from the majority of households to swell the tide of good will—and the mails. It began when the first effective, cheap and general postal service began. As postal service grew more effective and cheaper and more general, more and yet more cards sought the mails each year until now their delivery on or shortly before Christmas day is a main Christmas problem in the post office.
They do better now in the postal service than they did once—they prepare for the enormous task. Co-operation with the public is the rule. So again, as in the more recent years, the postoffice has organized special facilities to receive advance mailings of greetings. Deposited in the mails now, the cards and letters will be postmarked December 21 and delivered before Christmas. Only one thing is needed to enable the post office to grapple successfully with this giant of Christmas postal work—public co-operation. Give it.

Two attitudes towards crowds are rather definitely manifest. One hates them and suffers tortues in them. The other loves them and enjoys every minute in them.
It is the season when so many of all the varying types make the supreme shopping trip of the year. That means crowds. it means being elbowed sharply on the left or bumping into someone sharly on the right. It means joining currents that are in a hurry. It means a come-thither-somehow experience, with a number of things happening, not all agreeable.
While there are aids, the fact nevertheless emerges that the supreme shopping trip of the year means a dose, in liberal measure, of crowds. That raises the question of of these individual attitudes toward human nature in the aggregate, assembled and present. It seems a chance for those doctors accustomed to prescribing this and that for improvement of the human animal. Those who hate crowds and suffer tortues in them should value doctoring that would change their point of view. It is much more seasonable and pleasant to love crowds and enjoy every minute of them.
Hunt the brighter side. The present never lasts.
Generally speaking, too many people are generally speaking.
A woman may be as old as she looks, but it is hard to tell it these days.
Being a pedistrain has taken on much more responsibility in recent years.
The older generation is worrying about the younger generation, and always has.
The mistake many a wife makes is in trying to instruct a man instead of flattering him.
Even if women do have more sense than men you never see a man button his shirt up the back.
Ten-pins were invented in the fourteenth century, but the safety pin was not among the first ten.
Some men have pretty theories about the duty of capital, and some have to meet a payroll every Saturday.

The Brooklyn, N. Y. Rector that believes that there should be parallel roads for Negroes and whites while travelling heavenward, also advises a parallel civilization. He says, "My theory for the solution of our race problem is a parallel civilization for all races, especially so in a nation where two races so distinct as are the Negro and the white man live side by side in such large numbers. Such a parallel civilization seems to be the very law of nature." Is not that absurd? Is the expression not one of the most obtuse? The mind from which it emanated is to be pitied and given the fullest sympathy. We do not believe that the expression was given full thought before utterance, or it would have dawned upon his mind under what conditions the civilization of the American Negro was begun, and through what medium it was brought to life. What distinction of civilization is there between the white and black American? It is not a very pleasant matter for contemplation yet it is obvious that the civilization of the American Negro started with the comingling of American white and African bloods. It has never paralleled but travelled the same road. There have been some differences, caused probably by early environments, such as the American Negro's respect for constituted authority and his loyalty to national ideals. In other spheres, wherever he has been able to surmount the obstacles, he has kept pace with the rapid development of Christian civilization. In the cultured arts; in the realms of scientific research; in finance and business; in the broader fields of education and religion, he has measured strides, nor been distanced in the race. This Republic could ill afford to encourage two, or more, distinct civilizations, any more than it could afford to encourage several distinct national loyalties. Civilization is the basis of patriotism and patriotism is the foundation of national life. To sum up the suggestion of the Rector: It is amorphous.

Henry Carter, an employee in the division of western European affairs, has been selected by the state department to succeed Clifton Wharton, who was the charge d'affaires in the capital of Liberia, Monrovia, since the death of the United States minister and consul general, Hon. William T. Francis. The post as Minister to Liberia seems to go begging. And it should: It is the most dangerous to health and life and the most poorly paid of any ministerial post under the government of the United States. Five Thousand ($5000.00) Dollars per year, and the privilege of dying of yellow fever or some other-tropical sickness. Uncle Sam wants none but the best to represent him abroad, but it is a very poor lawyer that cannot make that amount without running the risk of ruining health. Time was when the Negro politician fell over himself in the scramble for the post. Not now: That brings to mind some personal recollections connected with Liberian ministerial appointments. When we found that persuasion could not induce the late J. Frank Wheaton from accepting it, we hit on another scheme. Knowing the religious prejudice of the late W. J. Bryan, then secretary of state, he was informed that Wheaton was a Roman Catholic; the commission, signed, was torn in half with the blunt remark that, "the government of the United States had nothing in Liberia for a Roman Catholic to do." We sat in the New York' office of Curtis and Wheaton and sought to dissuade "Jimmie" from accepting the post. He died in Liberia. We tried to get the late W. C. Matthews to winhold his endorsement to the appointment of W. T. Francis, deceased, there were others that could have been more easily spared. As long as the Negro deems the post adequate physically and financially, just so long will the government of the United States delay the remedy of deficiency.

Armistice Dap speeches were freighted with such phrases as "banishment of hate;" "the glory of the brotherhood of nations;" "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." Fine words those: But were they uttered in sincerity or more banalities? Did they include every race and color or was it meant for one people only? We read the words with swelling pride and had settled down to contemplate the beauties of amity between all peoples, whatever race or color, but we turned to the wrong page of the paper, for there we read the celebration of Armistice Day with the lynching of Negro men. One of the victims had dared to wear a part of the insignia worn by him across seas in the struggle to make the world safe for Democracy. At first there was wrath, but with calmer reflection, came pity. The fullest measure of sympathy must be given for a people so deficient in the ethics of civilization. There is one feature it is hoped the Negro will never parallel as he develops a Christian civilization.
With the deflection of Virginia from her flirtation with Mr. Republican and he return to the arms of her former Mr. Democrat, the hopes of the "Lily Whites" for the perpetuation of the Hoovercrat party in the South have gone a glimmering. The states south of the imaginary line of Mason and Dixon will be of the Jefferson and aJekson persuasion until the pressure of some economic issue make them otherwise. Democratic politics is the religion of most. They have been schooled and reared in its tenets. Religious prejudice or racial hatreds might for a while steer them from the path, but they at the earliest moment will return. The results of the presidential election fooled none but the veriest optimist. Those who were versed in practical politics knew the trend. They also knew that the promise of Republican permanency made by the men who advocated a "white Republican party" and the elimination of the Negro from participation in the councils of the Republican party in the South, was but a gesture to gain the control of the patronage. The recent dictum of the President concerning the distribution of Federal patronage has dampened the ardor of the pie hunters.
Many are the mysterious whisperings and gatherings of little groups in the Capital corridors. Knowing looks and sidelong glances are exchanged among the great and near great, since Ray Riley has definitely declared that he is a candidate for the office situate in the southwest corner of the Capitol building. The occupants of that particular office do seem a bit perturbed and the business of governing the state goes on without a ripple to disturb the calm.
In looking over the reapportionment of the legislative districts, although confessing ignorance of the voting alignment, it appears as though Assemblyman Fred Roberts will have some additional work to do if he seeks re-election to the assembly. We have such confidence in his political astuteness that we are loath to believe that he has allowed a gerrymander. In these days of political chicanery it behooves the voters to be watchful and keep an open eye for any measure which seeks to deprive them of any representation.
With the surety that the South has reverted to old partizan North and try stop his deflection from the ranks of the Republi-standard, we look to see overtures made to the Negro of the can party. He, virtually, holds the balance of power in the doubtful states and his independent attitude in the national election past has warned the party leaders that he is not now a hide-bound partizan. With the seeming intention of the regulars to drive from the party all recalcitrants the election of party senators and congressmen seem rather doubtful. The "wild jackass remarks of Senator Moses has not added, or aided in healing the breach.
It is gratifying to learn that labor has sensed its duty and is aiding the cause of workers irrespective of color or race. The aiding of the cause of the Pullman Porters and Maids by the Federation of Labor and the respectful hearing given to their leaders by the affiliated Congress of Workers is evidence that the dawn of a better day is come and that the Negro worker will no longer be compelled to "scab" in order to make his livelihood.

In the death of Morefield Storey, humanitarian and noted barrister, the N. A. A. C. P., has lost a strong pillar, and the Negro, in particular, a staunch friend and fearless advocate. He gave freely of his store of legal learning and appeared before the high courts of the nation in behalf of his just rights. The Louisville segregation case in which he appeared before the United States Supreme Court, and gained a decision that forever put a stop to the segregation of the Negro to the alleys and slums, will ever stand out as one of the greatest humanitarian acts of the century. He gave freely of his legal knowledge to justice and humanity when corporations would gladly have paid thousands for his service. It is to be hoped that every Branch of the N. A. A. C.

We have discussed in detail the need for a healthy body in both of the parents of our babies. We learned that there are certain diseases like Syphilis and Tuberculosis especially which may entirely unit a young man or a young woman to become the parent of a healthy child. For if the baby's body is made up, we will say of one-half of paternal tissue and the other half of material tissue and one-half of these tissue elements is diseased then we found it to logically follow that the body being composed of diseased tissue would also be diseased. We also learned that there may be certain diseased conditions present in a woman's or girl's body which make child-bearing a grave physical risk for her. The most outstanding of the latter diseased conditions are Tuberculosis, heart disease and kidney disease. About four months ago I had a patient who clearly illustrates the danger of a woman with an impaired kidney having a baby. This woman had been kidney trouble for years and lived in fair ease and comfort, was able to work every day and feel quite comfortable. In other words, though her kidneys were weak, she had "compensated" so as to be able to take fairly good care of her body's needs and allow her to enjoy a reasonable degree of health. But out of a clear sky many years of apparent sterility, without any warning, a second party puts in a notice of his presence. At first the mother refuses to think that she is pregnant. She knows that menstruation has been irregular but she considers that she is in the "change" of life and thus pays no attention to the new life within. Several months pass. Then the kidneys which were quite well able to take fairly good care of the needs of one body, go all to pieces under this added strain of a second body's needs to care for. The mother becomes desperately ill and sends for Dr. Temple. When I arrived I found Mrs. Blank in a critical condition. In spite of the fact that she felt sure that she was "simply going through the change" and "impossible for her to be pregnant," on examining her I found a six months' pregnancy and I knew without a doubt that she was pregnant because as I listened through my stethescope I could hear the little baby's heart beating wildly. The mother had a temperature which soon ran up to almost 105, her pulse was 140 and altogether she was a most desperately ill woman. The fetal (baby's) heart was beating 206 beats per minute which is much faster than any baby's heart can continue to beat if the lives. I felt that it was a most esperately critical case. I called her father, mother and husband and explained to them the extreme gravity of the situation, that the patient had about one chance in 500 to get through alive and that the baby was almost certain to perish. The family then told me that "kidney trouble" ran in the family and that they had had another daughter to die of kidney trouble and pregnancy. Of course were seriously worried. The whole family was fine and helpful and intelligent. They put the case entirely in my hands. And when I told them that I wanted a consultation with Dr. C. Diggs they said: "Dr. Temple, we trust you perfectly
---
and we have every confidence in Dr. Diaggs, whatever you two decide will satisfy us."
I pushed the patient into the Dunbar Hospital. For two long weeks I worked and I earnestly prayed. I consulted the best Obstetric authority in the West, Dr. L. G. McNeilio, Dr. Diaggs, who is so excellent in diagnosis of internal medical conditions worked with me. And after fourteen days and fourteen nights when two lives were hanging in the balcony, the great Gd of life gave us victory and Mrs. Hank and her little unborn infant had passed safely through this the first stage of her critical journey of sious kidney trouble complicated with pregnancy.
Beside kidney and heart trouble and tuberculosis, there are other conditions outside of the realm of disease which make a medical examination a necessity before conception and pregnancy and even before marriage. We nancy and even before marriage. We will take this up later as we said last week. But before then in our next talk we shall discuss a little more fully the effect on the unborn child of kidney tpubic, tuberculosis, and heart disease in its parents.
THE PASSING OF CAPTAIN CRUMBLY
(Continued from Page One)
cruel officer of the United States Army, seeking recruits for the military service of our country. Young Crumbly enlisted and proudly marched away. He was peculiarly adapted to military life and wonderfully susceptible to its theory and practice. He diligently applied himself to a close study of tactics and quickly mastered all its intricacies. This won for him royal promotion. He possessed great military ability and won for himself many honors, of which he was justly proud. It was during his term of enlistment, that he, taking advantage of the educational opportunities afforded by the army, applied himself to hard study and acquired a first-class business education.
Returning from the army, young Crumbly began the fine art of making for himself a living. He secured employment as a clerk in a grocery store, at a salary of $500 per week. Seeing the possibilities of that business, he decided to establish a business of his own. With nothing but a good name for honesty and sobriety, he was able to rent a house and put in a stock of goods. Business came his way and so well did he prosper, that at the end of six months, he signed a contract to purchase the property he had been renting. The entire purchase price was paid within 18 months and the property adjoining there unto was purchased. Very soon, he was a large property holder on Wheat street, one of the principal throughfares of Atlanta.
In 1890 several prominent business men organized the Georgia Real Estate Loan and Trust Company. Capt. Crumbly was a member and secretary of the company. This company became a telling factor in the community and also accumulated considerable property, in its own name. He was selected a director of the newly organized Penny Savings Bank of Chattanooga, Tenn., which organization, also, became a flourishing institution. He was secretary of the Board of Directors of the Carrie Seele Logan Orphanage and founder of the Negro Historical Society of Atlanta.
He saw Massonic Light in Atlanta, Ga., while yet a young man and rapidly rose to prominence in the fraternity. He was a charter member of the Most Worshipful Sovereign Grand Lodge of Georgia, had a large hand in the formation of its Code and By-Laws; served as Grand Secretary eight years and formulated and proposed its Kelief Association, which association in all its splendid success, stands today, a living monument to his credit.
In 1903, he decided to seek a better land and happier environment. He came westward and made his home in Los Angeles, which was then little more than a village. With the same gentlemanly heading and business acumen he launched into business, in the land of his adoption, and for 19 years was one of the foremost and most influential business men of this city. However, he was never too busy to interest himself in the work of civic.

THE JURY SYSTEM
GOLDEN RULE
BY: THE DEACON
If you follow the great fight
For Justice it will lead.
Back to the battle
On the plains of Runnymede.
After this famous battle
King John layed down his spears.
And rebuttantly allowed his subjects;
Trial by a jury of their peers.
From that great day to this
The English speaking races,
May demand a jury trial
In civil and criminal cases.
Every person accused of crime
Is entitled to an impartial trial;
This is a statutory right,
Of which, there can be no denial.
Under the laws of California
Jury service it appears.
Is limited, to thirty trial days.
Once, in every two years.
In Los Angeles County
For the year Nineteen Thousand
Twenty-eight.
More than Nine Thousand jurors
Were selected to serve the State.
A jury Commissioner
Performs this arduous task.
With consent of the Judges
From first to last.
With the large number called
From year to year.
The name of a colored citizen
Will occasionally appear.
From this apparent discrimination
One would naturally decide:
That colored men and women
Are not duly qualified.
We, sometimes stop and ponder;
To ascertain the cause
Why we are not allowed to function
In enforcement of the laws.
We should petition our Judges
And their Jury Commissioner too.
To stand up and tell us
Just what we should do.
If our qualifications are measured
By the same acid test.
Applied to other men and women
Then our minds will be at rest.
political and religious institutions and in the problems, difficulties and sorrows by which he was surrounded.
He was one of the promoters of the Los Angeles Forum, was its president for many years and its leading light for years, thereafter. He was a member of the Committee of Management of the Y. M. C. A. and a Director of the East Side Mother's Home.
His religious life began in early youth and developed with his various experiences and strong character. He was an active member and officer of the First, Congregational church of Atlanta and was the faithful friend and most trusted counselor of the pastor, Dr. H. H. Poorot, in the development of that great institutional church. On coming to Los Angeles, he became a member of the First, African Methodist Episcopal church but when the People's Independent church was about to be organized, his old time church building instincts seemed to have been awaken anew, and he, not only joined that movement, but gave his heart and his hand to its work. It was he who wrote its Declaration of Principals, served as one of its steering Committee, helped to drafts its Constitution and By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation. He was a member of the original Board of Trustees an dhe first reading clerk Captain Crumbly has always exerted a strong influence in the life and business of the church. He was fatherly and full of good and worthwhile advice at all times. He was, indeed, a true and tried friend, supporter and defender of the church.
On April 5, 1925, he was united in holy wedlock to Mrs. Rebecca Tate and only five short months, thereafter, and even before all his plans for a new life and a new home, and a new career were materialized, he was stricken with an incurable malady. After days and weeks of effort with the aid of the best physicians, it was decided that recovery was beyond all hope, it was then that he expressed the wish to be removed to the Soldiers Home, where he remained until the end came.
With unbelievable stamina and a wonderful constitution, for seven long years he withstood the ravages of that terrible malady and then, after a brave fight and heroic struggle which aroused the sympathy and admiration of all who knew him, he finally grew tired of the battle and like a brave soldier (invited the end.
On Wednesday morning, Nov. 13th, he ended his earthly warfare and quietly and peacefully slipped away, leaving a devoted wife, one son, two daughters, many grand children and great grand children, who sorrow because of his passing.
"Take him, o Death; and bear away Whatever thou canst call thine own! Thine image stamped upon this clay. Don't give thee that, but that alone!
Take him, o grave! and let him be Folded upon thy narrow shelves. As garments by the soul laid try. And precious only to ourselves!
Take him, o great Eternity! His little life is but a pust. That bends the branches of thy tree. And treils its blossoms in the dust."

| Dear Friends
Eleven years ako. November 11,
1918, after» World's War that lasted
four years, costing the sacrifice of ten
million lives and three hundred and
fifty billion§ in gold or its equivalent
and comributing nearly. ten million
disabled people to the world, heart
sick and conftonted with gigantic
| tacks of reconstruction, rehabilitation
land debt, the world. was. rendered
‘happy becatise an Armistice had been
{declared and war-like hostilities hag
ceased
Though this world’s war was the
bloodist in all of annals of history,
more terrific in its causalities, the
cause for which it was fought was
equally as (great in its intents and
purposes, the DEMOCRATIZAT-
1ON OF THE WORLD!
“Today, throughout the Nation there
are assembled —Hr'-meetings. of this
kind, not-only to celebrate the Vic-
tory of the Allies and the destruction
of the General Powers, to rejoice be-
cause of the cessation of the World's
bloddest ang yreatest war, but we are
also gathered for inventory of the re-
sults of the great conflict that was
pledged to re-establish the true Broth-
erhocd of Man and establish for all
time the Government for and by the
People, and in the end, by giving no
further cauge for war, established #
universal peace throughout the World.
I shall now briefly furnish you with
some satisti¢s bearing on the part the
Colored race participated in the world’s
war: the tga number or registered
from June Sth, 1917 to September 12,
1918, there were 21,489,470 white ang
2,290,527 colored, the proportion of
colored registration to the whole was
9163 per cent. These figures do. not in-
clude some 300,000 additional regis-
trants during September and October
of the year 1918.
The total number of white and Col~
‘ored men called under the Selective
Draft Regulations during the entire
war shows that’ there were 2,442,586
white and 367,710 were Colored.
U'This shows’ that the Colored con-
tributed 51.63 per cent in Class 1,
while the whites contributed but 32.53
per cent of its registered number in
Class 1.
California had in the War. 919 Sol
diss, Colored, and another fact of
which the colored race should feel’
proud, where but 25 per cent plus of
the Whites were found fit under &
severe physical examination, whereas,
34 plus percent fit was found for the
Negro.
The conduct of the Colored soldier,
whether in camp, in the field or in
the trenches received merited admirat-
ion,
‘The Provost Marshal General Crow-
der is here quoted. "In’a word 1 be-
lieve that the Negro's participation in
the war and his eagerness to serve,
and his great courage and demon-
strated valor across the seas, have
given him a new idea of Americanism
and likewise given to the white people
‘of our country a new idea of his citi-
zenship his real character and capa-
bilities, and his 100 ‘percent American-
ism. "Incidentally, the Negro has
been helped in many ways, physically
and mentally and has been made into
a more satisfactory asset of the Nat-
ion.”
Tt is also @ pleasant record that the
first two Aniericans to win the Croix
De Guerre, ‘were the, two Negro. sol-
diers, Henry Johnsoa and Needham
Roberts,
And to the great honor of the Ne-
gro it can be said, ruthlessly discrithig
nated against because of his race and
antescendants, though he had’ léss rea-
soit to answer ‘the call 03 the “Nation,
mote reasons to feel he was not pro-
perly treated at home, his. loyalty was
never questioned and his service his
restricted area’ was , unsutpassable...”

tribute to the bravery of those w!
died in: the world’s war. But -today
lwe-are going’ little further, first we
eee eee ee ee omen ap eee
ee lives were sacrificed and the
great expense of money and energy-
expanded . First. we find that our
battle cry was: “Make the World) safe
for uemocracy this was our objective.
One of the results of our victory
was to see the abolishment of auto-
cratic rule in some of the monarchical
governments of Europé and the sub-
stitution of republican forms.
And today, we see the Nations of
the world engaged in plans for paci-
fication by arbitration, and establisb-
ment and continuance of Universal
Peace by other means than by xppeal
to arms, and thereby for all time have
no reoccurance of another bloody con-
fet.
We fought for a World's democracy
and we were victorious, but to you
my fellow racemen, J will say in’ all
truth, that our battles were’ in vain
and the objective for which fought was
Rot victorious, if the American citi-
zen of African descent does not share
in the “world’s democtacy”.
"So long as the American Citizen of
African descent is denied his Civil and
Political rights; so long as this brave
and loyal people are considered Aliens
in the land of his birth, so long will
the patriotic desires of the Nation re-
main ungratified.
__In the Indian wars of Colonial days;
in the Revolutionary War when the
Negro Attacks was the first of Ameri-
cans to give up his life; in the Civil
War, at Fort Wagner when Sergeant
Carney of the Fifty-Fourth Massachu-
‘est’s Regiment would fot let the Am-
yerican Flag “touch the ground; at
Carrisal and at San Juan Hill ana San-
tiago de Cuba; in the Argonne Forest
of France and Throughout the World's
War, the American citizen of African
descent, has always stood bravely with
the Colors and. helped bring victory
to the arms of his Country.
As Colonel Roosevelt said after the
charge on San Juan Hill, in the Ne-
gro there “was no coward bone,” so
in every war of his country the “black
man”, has come up to the full. mea-
surements of a Man.
Today we rejoice with other of out
patriotic fellow citizens that Armistice
Day brought about the cessation of
hostilities; with other of our ‘ellow-
citizens, ‘of all races and creeds, we
shed tears because of the great loss
of human lives involved ana with oth-
er of our patriotic fellow-citizens we
see the great rainbow of Universal
Peace proclaiming the beginning of
the World Democracy for which
10,000,000 citizens of the World made
the Supreme sacrifice. :
In conclusion, I will say that out of
gloom comes sunshine, out of well-
directed ubor comes contentment,
and out of the Patrioticism of | the
American Negro will. in God's time,
come race betterment. *
For this we pray; for this we act,
and the, future has for us no fears.

PIRRONE SHAKES LINE-UP FOR GIANTS ATTACK
Regular Sunday Twin-Bill to be Inaugurated in this Week-end Series
Regular Sunday Twin-Bill to be Inaugurated in this Week-end Series
With only seven more games left in the first half of the winter league season, the Royal Giants go to the barrier on Saturday and Sunday with Pirrone All-Stars in an effort to regain lost ground. The Giants will practically have to win all seven of the remaining games to emerge victorious in the first half.
PIRRONE SHAKES UP LINE-UP
In an effort to stave off the Giants attack manager Pirrone of the All-Stars has shaken up his line-up. This will be the first time during the season that Pirrone has shaken up his regular team and it is understood, that he has a murderous row at the top of the batting order. Pirrone has beaten the Giants only one game this season and is determined to even scores in this coming series.
GIANTS HAVE BAD BRREAK
Manager Goodwin and his Royal Giants had a bad break last week when they lost both games of the series to Shell Oil with a score of 16 to 14 on Saturday and 14 to 6 on Sunday. In the most important series of the season Goodwin suffered his most tragic reversal. First his "head man at bat" Livingston was called away on Thursday to attend his mothers funeral in Dallas, Texas. That gave Goodwin the loss of his greatest hitter and demoralized his line-up. Second, in preparation for the series Goodwin had worked his pitchers daily to assure them being in fine fettle and when the series did arrive the pitchers had probably gone stale, and could not maintain control. It was the first time this season that Goodwin's pitching staff has been off balance. Rogan was the only one which retained his fine edge during last week's severe practice and although he made the Shell Oil batters look like children he came to the mound too late to do much good. However, that nightmare is over now and Livingston has rejoined his team for this week-end series and the Giant pitchers have regained their bal-
DOUBLE-HEADERS INAUGURATED
It has been the policy of the winter league to play double headers on all Sundays during the second half of the season but the San Luis Mexican team was made a member of the winter leaguers last week and the double-header program will be inaugurated this coming Sunday a few weeks earlier. The San Luis Giants will play the first game of each Sunday's bill and will tackle the various teams of the league. This week-end they will tackle the Royal Giants. The first game on Sunday will start at 12:30 and will have a time limit if necessary to permit the second game to start not later than 2:30.
ROYAL GIANTS LOOSE TO
SHELL OIL TWICE
The Giants Weren't so Royal Saturday and Sunday.
The Oilers from the Shell Company took them down the lane on both days and put them out like a light. The Giants didn't seem to have any amount of life and what they did have wasn't much.
ON WAY TO RECORD
For a while it looked as if the Royal Giants were on the way to a record, judging by the number of wins they had, but the Oilers soon put a stop to that and the Giants have to start all over now.
Saturday's game was a free for all hitting contest with the Oilers coming out on the long end of the score 16 to 14. The Giants made just as many hits as the Shell boys did, but they couldn't make them count when needed most.
NO CHANCE IN SUNDAY'S GAME
The Colored boys didn't stand much a chance in Sunday's game. They lost it by a score of 14 to 6, another hitting contest with the Oilers doing most of the hitting.

Bud Taylor gained another notch in his comeback at the expense of Santiago Zorilla. Wirt Ross's big shot in the fistic game.
The two feathers fought for Jack Dempsey in the "Winny City" the night before the Trojan-Irish game at Soldiers field, also in the city of much wind.
The bout drew something like $30,000 and was a success all the way around, incidentally Jacks first paying bout since he started in the promoting game in Chi.
SANTIAGO DUE HOME
The little Brown Flash is due home from the east soon now to take on Joey Sangor the freckled faced jewish kid from the east. Santiago has not gone so wonderful on this caster trip. He lost to Earl Mastro and to Bud Taylor. He had beaten Taylor in their last meeting.
Taylor left hooked Zorilla to death in this meeting to take the duke.
Kid Chocolate, by all rights the featherweight champion of the world is back in the United States after a short vacation to his native country—Cuba.
The Kid holds the most impressive record of any fighter that has ever fought in the United States, that of having never being defeated. The closest the Kandy Kid has ever come having the duke raised over him is a draw and then he fought that fellow again and took him easy.
Chocolate and his manager are gunning for a chance at the title held by Bat Battilino the new champ, but it doesn't look as if he will get the chance to knock the king pin out as he is demanding $50,000 to defend his title.
THOMPSON WINNING AGAIN
THOMPSON WINNING AGAIN Thompson is on his way to another match with Champion Jackie Fields of the wetherweight division. Jack claimed he won that last fight between Jackie and himself, but was given a ride for it, Chi is like that.
SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS
BROMOTER ELKINS HAS
TROUBLE IN BOOKING
GLADIATORS RESULTING
IN KEEPING CLUB DARK
CANCELS FIGHT PROGRAM
Promoter Hess Elkins has cancelled his boxing program scheduled Thursday night and declared that he would probably keep the Orange Belt Club dark for a period of two weeks.
Failure to secure two of the boxers book for this week's program and the difficulty in signing up suitable substitutes, were given as the outstanding reasons for the change in the plan of the promoter. The small attendance last week and the out look for a boxing card that carried nothing more than anticipated fight action, lacking entirely in classy milling with probably one exception has done much to darken the Orange Belt ring Thursday night.
The Orange Belt will reopen December 5th at which time Baby Sal Sorio San Bernardino Mexican battler will box Ritchie King veteran Pacific Coast rineman.
Fight night the week after next falls on Thanksgiving and the Orange Belt will not run a card on that date, consequently boxing fans will enjoy a two weeks siesta until the next show. Cheft Abrams, who has been scheduled to fight Morris Eagleson in one of the next week's six rounders has left San Bernardino. Abrams went to Arizona, it is understood. Tony Ruiz who had been signed to box Milford Berglund, accompanied the big Indian. That was two fights shot to pieces. Joe Robinson escaped the trouble when he refused to fight Sandy Garrison pleading that the big fellow hit too hard for him. Rather than rearrange his entire program, Elkins decided to call off the boxing program. Interest in the game
Brewer was a little wild and couldn't seem to come down, from up in the ozone.

BOO GEO. GODFREY IN BOSTON "FIGHT"
REFEREE CLAIMS HE AND JIM
BRYNE, WHITE BOXER, WERE
STALLING
BY: C. ELLIOTT FREEMAN, JR.
(Carroll News Service)
Boston, Mass.—George Godfrey and Jimmy Bryne, white, the Kentucky Cave man, were ordered from the ring at the Boston Arena before 10,000 fight fans on Thursday night, during the seventh round of their scheduled ten-round bout. The fight was declared no contest by Referee John Brassill.
The faking of Godfrey and Bryne was so rotten that an amateur fight fan would have been able to see it clearly. It seems that the intention of the boxers was to prolong the fight for the scheduled 10 rounds without doing any actual harm to each other.
Golfrey, weighing 61 pounds more than his orponent, made no real effort to land a single punch. It was clearly seen that he pulled every punch and was constantly flicking with his left from the sound of the bell in the first round. Both boxers made amateurish efforts at missing blows, no intention was made to land a single blow.
Referee Warns
Referee Brassill watched the play for three rounds, and at the end thereof warned Godfrey to stop flicking with his left and start using his right. In the fourth, Godfrey carried on a conversation with Bryne, and the two pretended to do some real fighting, but in the fifth Godfrey was warned again. Referee Brassill permitted them to continue playing during the fifth round, but warned them again in the sixth to put a little more pep in the battle and more power behind their punches. When stalling had been indulged in for some time during the seventh round, Referee Brassill decided that he and the fans had seen enough of the taking, and he waved both fighters to their corners. When it was announced that the bout was no contest, and that neither boxer would receive a cent the crowd cheered the statement.
Commissioner Present
Commissioner Eugene Buckley, who was a ringside spectator, approved of the actions of the referee. "Godfrey was flicking with his left from the very first round. In my opinion, and in the opinion of the referee, neither one was trying.
"Byrne was throwing his right so that it landed on Godfrey's shoulder, and Godfrey would not shoot his punches at all. They were faking all through the fight and carrying on an animated conversation. Neither boxer will receive a penny, and if I have my way about it, neither one will ever grear in a Massachusetts ring again."
is at a low ebb anyway, now, and the matchmaker feared that a change in the card would spoil the attendance.
Brooks Hooper had been scheduled to fight Joe Borola in the main event of six rounds. It is probable that Hooper, who showed up fairly well two weeks ago when he fought here will be given a spot on the Sal-King card.
In signing Sal and King, Elkins landed another fight that is certain to attract wide spread attention. Sorio didn't loose any prestige by his loss to Doc Sniell two weeks ago and should come back against King just as popular as ever.
King like Snell is a veteran at the game and is liable to give Sal more than the Mexican is capable of absorbing. King is a clever boxer and like all boxers, should find Sal an easy mark.
The preliminary card has not been arranged by the matchmaker. Chalky Wright has been signed to box Manuel Trevino, but other than that one, the rest of the card has yet to be completed.
K. O. For Jack Dillon by Frankie Campbell in One Round at Olympic
BATTLE SHORT and SWEET
CAMPBELL HITS TOO HARD
FOR JACK
Frankie Campbell the former San
Francisco boy proved his right to be
rated as an up and coming heavy in
this race to secure the title Gentle
Gene Tunney laid by the way side.
Campbell knocked out Jack Dillon
the eastern boy with a beautiful left
and right to the lug, that would have
taken a super, man to stand up under.
The battle only lasted a round, but
the short time that it did go there was
action from one second to the other.
FRANKIE TAKES ONE
Although the fight ended within the round there was more fighting than the short round tells. Dillon is some little fighter himself and is nobody's slouch at hitting. He let Campbell have one on the lug early in the round that looked as if the Frisco boy was going to go south for a moment, but Frankie pulled out of it and came back to crash over a left and right to win the fight.
READY FOR BIG TIME
Beyound a doubt this proves that Moloney's boy is on the way to the top and is ready right now for the big time. The boy seems to have every thing a real up and coming heavy needs. He can hit we all know that; that had the pleasure of seeing last nights classie. He can take them and comeback for more. Those two factors are the most important in making a real heavy. He doesn't have to be a good boxer, in fact the cash customers would rather see more fighting and less boxing, especially in the unlimited boys class. GOOD WITH BOTH HANDS
The new find can really go. He doesn't limit his hitting power to one hand. He hits like nobody's biz with either mitt or no less. He is on the way to the top. He is making a comeback and every bout so far has ended in a knockout.
We got to talking about Campbell so much here, the remainder of the card almost slipped the mind. Any way Eddie Burnbrook took a six round bout from Henry Goldberg on a foul in the fifth canto. The going was hot up until the time of the foul and was anybody's fight. Wally Fraser put Bud Doyle's lights out in five rounds.
TREAT FOR NEWSBOY
The Newsies will be in for quite a treat Turkey with all the trimmings. Plenty of music and entertaining by Curtis Mosby's Dixieland Blue Blowers from the widely known Apex Nite Club. It will be a Thanksgiving that the Newsies will never forget. Tickets for the newsboys will be available Tuesday, Nov. 26th at 5 P. M. See Mr. Shaw at the California Eagle, the best paper in the West.
Just every so often in the theater world comes a play which "knocks 'em out of their seats!" Such a play is "My Woman" which Producer Robert Levy has secured for his Lafayette Players to present at the Lincoln Theater starting next Monday night "My Woman" tells a story of bestial lust that is transformed into a great love that conquers taste, pride, and the material things of life. It is also the story of the soul of a girl who becomes great and a man who becomes greater through that love.

MEN AS WELL AS WOMEN are in a turnioil over the new style of the longer skirt. It has come to be one of the chief topics of conversation, polite and otherwise. Since the short skirt has been in vogue for several years it has made twin sisters of every girl and granomother.
Man, the observer, and woman the victim, seem to be pretty well divided on the subject of the longer skirt. Ask the (?) And you will get a ready answer, sometimes definite and sometimes funny and amusing. I cannot for the life of me conjure up visions of billowy skirts, fearful and wonderfully made, or picture in mind the ungainly Hobble Skirt of other days. The idea of modern woman trapping around in such dresses interfering with pedestrains and becoming an object of woe to street car, conductors because they are likely to ring their bell too quick and cause a hobble to split. It strikes me as being grotesque and alarming.
Strange as it may seem, it is not the idea that feminine legs are in danger of being concealed that depresses me. I am frank to admit that legs are no longer a novelty but rather a part of the landscape. So keep the short skirt.
I WONDER WHY
Billy Robinson has such an aversion to stepping on gum-spotted linoleum. Curtis Mosby prefers the Trombone to all other musical instruments.
The leading ork pilots wear their hair oiled down—Rene.
J. B. Bass doesn't enter the race for assemblyman.
Evelyn Preer would rather be a housekeeper when her career is ended.
George Kellar is the Big League and the money Power.—"Santa Fe."

Yaps in a poker game invariably call
you when bluffing, but drop out when
you've snared a flush or full house.

JACK JOHNSON LEADING JAZZ
BAND
Very few sport stars can resist the stage racket once they try it. Jack Dempsey. James J. Corbett. Benny Leonard got bitten so badly by the stage bug, that they thought they drew the crowus by their historic excellence, rather than their ring prestige.
Jack Johnson, a former champion, more famous in his day than any of the modern champs is a jazz leader, with a 12 piece band. Watson Buras says he is born musician. At all of his training camps Johnson always entertained with his bull fiddle, which he whacked so beguiling that the resultant harmony always attracted a large crowd. He should make pleasing money attired in a swallow-tailed coat. LoL Artha and his baton will make Fletcher Henderson, Leroy Smith, Paul Howard and Curtis Moshy jump over a fence. Maybe they know more upsie than he does, but one thing is certain, he can lick any of them with gloves or without. In spite of his age, Jack is still spry and a fine figure. Occasionally he does a little boxing and for a round or two he is still the marvelous boxer of old.
NEIL CLISBY
One of the best heavyweights on the Coast today showed his wages in New York recently, went over with a bang, will leave for Boston soon after he fights Bearcat Wright in San Diego. Everywhere you go someone has a good word for him: in the barbershop, in the gym, in the drug store, on the street corners, Clisby has never grown away from his friends—quiet, unassuming and retiring, merely regarding himself as a member of the pugilistic frat. His showing with Black Shadow was great and he was not really ripe for that kind of competition. Get Risko, Griffiths, Uzudum, and any of the other Heavys and Clisby will lower their colors.
His left hook! As good a left hook as any heavyweight in the game has today. He can swing it from any pos-

the Bethel Holiness Church last Saturday, having departed this life in the harness of his profession. His funeral was attended by many railroad men and people in all walks of life. He was 67 years old, and would have been retired in three years had not the Master called him. He entered the service of the Pullman Company in the year of 1907 and was a regular line man on the Chief. It was on this famous monarch of the rail that he spent his last days. The Railroad Clatter extends its sympathy to his family over their great loss.
Says Mr. H. E. Washington: Imagine my embarrassment when I went down to go out on my line as is my usual custom, and was told by Mr. V. V. Ross to go to the Glendale freight yards and take complete charge of a tourist car booked for Portland, Oregon, on a freight train. Were you all alone on that freight train? Mr. Washington says: "I well not exactly. When I found the train there were two more tourist cars attached to it besides the one which I was to ride." And pay tell me who was on these cars, says I. "Well, Joe Holmes was on one, and I think Bill Garner was on the other."
That's rather odd, says I. It strikes me that between the three of you there stands about 34 years of service. "That's just what I can't figure out." "That's just what I can't figure out," said Wash as he wobbled out of my office.
TROJAN PULLMAN CREW BACK
When the Trojan footall special arrived in Los Angeles this week from the Notre Dame football game, it brought with them three very tired Los Angeles pullman porters: M. Adams, S. O. Thompson and E. L. Arnaud. The boys claim to have had a very hard trip. The cars were equipped with 26 extra blankets and were loaded top and bottom with football-mad fans and players. The only easy part of the trip was the fact that they did not have to ice the water coolers, the team carries its own water in bottles. On the return trip the boys became a little wild and wooley, and staged a sham battle with mattresses and some twenty-six odd pullman blankets. E. L. Arnaud, who has been accompanying the team on their various trips this season, was squeezed in the game by the players and had the time of his life.

MODERN PULLMAN CARS TAKE
THEIR TOLL
The latest type pullman cars are
gradually wearing the older pullman
porters out, and in many districts,
exacting a heavy toll in deaths. On
the new cars the exceptionally heavy
mattresses are blamed by the port-
ters in many instances for lame backs.
The Santa Fe "Chief" is classed by the porters as a heart breaker, and a very hard train to work on. In the compartments of the "Chief" they have a locker arrangement for the passengers to hang their clothes which greatly interferes in making and putting away beds. Porters are taxed to the utmost in lifting the heavy type mattresses around this clothes locker to the upper berth in order to put it away. They have the same difficulty in breaking the bed down, the space is small, and many times passengers prepare for bed, and never leave the compartment while you are working under difficulties in the small space to prepare their berths. Old timers who have operated on the "California Limited for years, and later were transferred to the "Chief" are gradually falling victims to the hard mattresses, and are dropping out one by one; some of the toys are not as spry as they used to be, and not nearly as strong, but who still have the spirit to try and stick on the hard transcontinental train, are breaking down with bad backs and some have passed out with their boots on, determined not to give up. These late cars are fine for the travelling public, but are very much the opposite for the pullman porter. Everything about the cars work hard, and in many instances the springs are so powerful that it takes two porters to hold the upper berth down. The travelling public is receiving a luxury, but the pullman porter is paying dearly for it.

It is doubtful however whether Mr. Brown will accept the offer, he having spent the greater part of his railroad days running to California has made acquaintances here and it is thought he will be reluctant in giving them up. He is now operating on the "Chief."
103 FQOT LOCOMOTIVE—LARGEST
YET PRODUCED
The world's largest and most powerful passenger locomotives are being put into service by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company. Thirty-five of these locomotives have been purchased for use on limited trains and heavy freights, the first arriving just 81 years to the day after the arrival of the pioneer, the first locomotive to run out of Chicago. Both were delivered on October 10, the Pioneer in 1848 and the Zeppelins of the Rails" in 1929.
The new class H engine, as it is called, will make a continuous run between Chicago and Omaha, a performance now divided among three large locomotives. With the greatest thirst in the world, demanding 18,000 gallons at one drink. The class H engine exercises such control that it never stops for water, taking it only at the division points—Clinton and Boone. It carries enough fuel to heat two eight-room residences for a year and has a 3600 horsepower strength.
The H locomotive, which is considerably higher than the present E-2 stands sixteen feet from rail to smoke stack. The boiler, 100 inches in diameter, is capable of producing 275 pounds of steam pressure. The locomotive is 103 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches long. The engine and tender weigh 818,000 pounds, as compared with 684,000 for the large freight locomotive and 486,000 for the passenger engine.
